-Beeoher,s Last PRAYER for odd Brown.

Extract from tho exercises reported in n Y papers
In the closing prayer, Mr.. Beecher, in
allusion to John Brown and his associates
about to suffer death, prayed ''for them as
bound with thcm' We take something of
their suffering and their disgrace, and since
it was through love of that that was right,
they were urged to do wrong, and since it
was their love for those bonds that led
them TO war against the Government and
laws, we beseech thee, o God, that their
lesser offence may be forgotten in the
greatness of their better part. We beseech
thee, 0 God. that men should understand
what must be the value of that liberty and
justice between man and man, for which
such heroic natures are willing to offer up
their lives, and count them not dear. May
they have love in their hearts, and
Christ as their help, and may all things
work the righteousness of God in the
love of man. We besecch Thee that
Thou wilt not depart from them one
moment. May they behold no brutal tri-
umph or scoliing in the hour of their death.
Prepare them to go, and may their death
be triumphant, and the same fortitude, dis
interestedncss, simplicity. truth, and love of
God and their fellow-mcn abide in them to
the last. May they put their trust in God
the Father, and find abundant joy in heNv-
en-. May thy blessing rest upnst ne trrcmbcr
mnnitytsfre Tor what it has been, for the
good which by the hand of many it has
done in times past for this land; in its
declining, dccrepit, weighed-down scar
son, burdened with intestine troubles.
We would not array one partof this coun-
try against another. Blood of their blood
bone Of their bone, we supplicate Thy
blessing on every State in this Union, that
they may do away with their Slavery;
that there may be in this christian land
none yearning for liberty; that the day
shall come when our Church shall be
no longer smothered; when the testimo-
ny of the Bible shall no longer be hid
den when the light and glory of the
sun of truth shall not be cciipscd when
men shall say, 'It is the power of God that
tApth done it,"

The Charleston Mercury reports speech
recently delivered in that city by Col. A.
P. Aldrich, at the fair of the South Caro-
lima Institute. There is deal of good
senseiin this speech. 1t contains whole
some talk for any place, and it is greatly
needed wherever Senator ,Hammond's
"mud-sill" doctrine finds encouragement
or endorsement. After expressing his
views in opposition to re-opening the slave
ira e, because "it is wrong as a matter of
policy, wrong us q matter of economy,
wrong in every sense of the word,.' the
Colonel takes n practical view of affairs,
and says:
"Look at home; look at your immense
Swamps undrained; look at your forests,
in which the Woodlands axe has never
resounded; look at your rushing rivers,
spreading over the land and then look at
your bonndless prairies, where thousands
of buffalo and wild horses and deer Craze
without the fear of man-all inviting you
to fruitful fields of labor-all opening rich
resources for your country-all waiting to
be developed-and tell me why it is that
you wish to conquer more land, before You
uNhS'AhlSAout tue conquest vi LulS why,
just look here at home-South Carolina
one of the oldest States of the confcderncy
hundreds of thousands of acres of the
best land in the State are now lying in the
primeval swamps and forests, wlitingto be
reclaimed. And yet we talk of new lands,
new conquests, when we have not had the
energy aud the enterprise to conquer that
which the good God, in his kindness, has
placed within our grasp. Why this feeling
of unrest2 Why this anxiety to rush for
ward into new fields of excitement and
conquest? l much fear there is fatal
error in the education of our people.

IF<the Southern alarmists would employ
in pacific measures a 1.-THE of the energy
and industry which they devote to tanning
tho flame of needless excitement, they
might Immediately check the growth of.
that bitter and hostile feeling between the
North and the South, which they profess
to abhor and regret. If-they take the least
pains to learn the prevailing sentiment in
the North, they cannot but know that it is
not what so many of them represent it to
be. If they devoted half as much time to
ascertaining what it is, as they spend in
misrepresenting it, they would have no ex-
cuse for denying that they often do the
North injustice. And then, if they would
use half the breath in truly stating their
position that they do in circulating the
most false and calumniatory stories about
the designs of the North, they would save
their neighbors vast amount of alarm,
and the whole country many angry and
exciting discussions. For it is not to be
supposed that the evil consequences of
their course arc confined to the South that
they have helped to throw into so ridicu-
lous fright. The great body of conser-
vativc men Mt the North, whom they so
malign by their charges, cannot remain
wholly indifferent and passive under such
attacks. And class one degree less con-
servative, but who would never become
aggressive under fair and manly treatment,
arc gOaded and stung by vile aspersions
into course of action which it is for the
interest of the South to prevent The
false accusations and threats against this
class tend inevitably to incite them to the
deeds of which they have been wrongfully
accused. Do not the Southern alarmist
see this? We presume that many of them
do. Will they be deferred thereby from
proceeding in their reckless course? We
douot if they will.

From the t Ysl}|''"iS5cs Session of the County
Court has been in session during the week
The ordinary business of the county, APP
pointmcnt of ndministra tors, &C., occu-
pied the greater portion of the time. On
W edncsday came up the case of Michael
Riley, the assignee of Philip Il. Green,
against Walter Craig, for the collection of
note calling for eighty dollars aIledged
to have been given by Craig in payment
for a hotel bill while Green was proprietor
of the Exchange Hotel Craig claims that
the debt was only eight dollars, but that,
being drunk at the time, he was induced to
sign a note for eighty dollas. Witnesses
were summoned and the trial proceeded
with on Wednesday afternoon, 0. W.
l'angftt for plaintiff, White 4 Nichols
Tor the defendant, The case was referred
TO the Jury toward evening, and after
short session verdict was returned for
the defendant. A new trial, however, was
granted.
The hog trade is being vigorously prose-
cuted at this place, one firm killing about
700 head. The squeals of the massacred
porkers arc heard frequently, and the smell
of spare ribs is omniprescnt.
The meeting of the Agricultural Society
on Monday last, was well attended by the
substantial farmers of the county. The
following officers were elected, some of
them reelected;
VIM. i. Miller, President.
Abraham Wilson, ]. c. Gist, Lewis Ap-
plegate, G. G. Orr, Vice Presidents.
j. S. Bcall, Treasurer. j. b. Hagan,
Assistant Treasurer.
Robert Nichols, ST., Secretary
/. II. Duval, J. G. Jacob, Finance Com
mittee.
The Treasurer's report was read, show
ing the balance on hand, $38, of which
fuller report will be published next week.
The meeting went Off in the most sGtisfac-
tory way, and the best spirit prevails in
regard to the continuance of the Fairs.
1t was very un-rrise move in the Gov

deplorablc indeed, in the event of slave
instruction in Brooke or Hancock county
or of an invasion from the hatchet-faced
barbarians beyond the Ohio. Instead of
taking away the military, Gov: Wise should
have double-guarded the Panhandle frontier.
