PRIMITIVE BAPrIsTs.-Wc copy from the Banner
of Liberty the following article in reference to the
above named denomination of Christians:
The late session of Warwick Baptist Association,
which was held at New Vernon, near this village,
was largely attended Besides considerable num-
Der of preachers from this State there were in at
tendance Elders L. Cox Jr, of Massachusetts, p
Hartwe OF New Jersey, D. L. Harding of Penn
SYLVAN, Samuel Trott of Virginia C. B. Hassell of
North Carolina, j. L. Purngton of Georgia, W. C.
Norris Of Alabama and j. f. johnson of Kentucky
During the second and third days of the session
the crowd was much greater than the house
would hold, that preaching was had and meetings
held in the adjacent grove to accommodate the null
titude.
This Association is of that order of Baptists so
often blackguarded by brainless bigots as Hard
shells" and by superficial tops and ignorant college
calves (who have not possessed capacity enough to
learn common politeness from Alma Mater, bur-
lesqued as Ignorant" because they cannot be
gulled by the Peter Funk schemes of religious
mountebanks for swindling money from the weak
minded. But among the number of ministers pre-
sent on this occasion there were some half dozen.
any one of whom is far better qualified by natural
ability and attainments for professorships in COL
leges than nine-tenths of those who occupy them.
Nearly all spoke as dramatically as is common
with college graduates; and those who expressed
themselves without reference to book rules had no
difficulty in rendering themselves understood and
producing impressions upon their audiences that
any orator might be proud Of Although we have
heard many of the most distinguished orators of our
country, We never heard more refined, soundy lopi

SHOCKING DEATH OF Boy FROM HYDRoPHOBIA.-
A little son Of Patrick Murphy, about 10 years
old, keeper of the lodge at the mountain entrance
of Livellyn Park, near Eagle Rock, at Orange N. j.,
died last week from the effects of hydrophoba.
Some time in June he was at work in nursery,
when strange dog passed near him, and he slapped
him with his hand. The dog snapped and inserted
his teeth in the back of the right hand.
About the same time another boy in the neigh
borhood was bitten by dog, and his friends thought
they must do something, and had the wound eau
terized. This lad hearing of it thought he would
say nothing about his bite lest he should have to be
burned also. In short time the wound healed up,
and nothing more was thought about it.
Last Wednesday he complained to his mother of
having arm and stiffness in the shoulders. 1t
remained so until last Saturday, when he walked to
DR.. Persons Office, nearly two miles distant. His
symptoms were such as to cause suspicious of the
terrible disease that was working in his system
He then confessed having been bitten, as above.
The physicians ten or more, who met to
see him on Sunday morning decided that nothing
could be done to cave his life.
He was able to be up, and walked about and con-
versed freely between the paroxysms, which until
this time had been light though with great suffer-
ing, until near o'clock on Sunday afternoon. He
then laid upon the bed and seemed to suffer most
intensely, the sight of water any liquid causing
wild agony, although he did not attempt to injure
any one near him. Congestion of the brain was
evidently produced when his system became filled
with the virus. He suffered until evening when
death kindly relieved the dreadful agony Of body
and mind.
1t seems strange that ten doctors should decide
that remedies should not be tried in the above case
They believe hydrophobia is incurable

TENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA

Raleigh; Holden & Wilson, "1Standard' Office,
1859.
We have before us the above report of very
worthy and well managed institution. The pam
phlet furnishes all necessary information upon the
subject of Life assurances generally and upon such
assurances by this Company in particular.
We have been gancng over the statements of
the report and table has arrested our attention
as tending to illustrate or afford an example of a
state of things which we have been frequently led
to remark of late days The great increase of pull
monte affections, and also the growing frequency of
paralysis and apoplexy.
there were six who died during the last year, and Of
these six four died Of consunption-one of paralysis
and the other of apoplexy.
Out of twenty colored deaths four only classcd
as consumption, but five others are put down as
pulmonary disease" bronchial affections" in
flammation of lungs" bilious pneumonia" "ty-
hold pneumonia" and sixth is simply "pneumo-
MIA" thus showing that the diseases of large pro-
portion even of the slaves were more or less con-
nected with the respiratory organs.
Why apoplexy and paralysis should increase We
can hardly understand any more than we can the
apparent prevalence of pulmonary diseases in mild
climate like that of North-Carona. Some people
are fond of attributing such things to strychnine
but unfortunately for their theory of paralysis
and apoplexy are quite as frequent among women
who never taste whiskey as among men who do,
and little if anything more common among men who
indulge, than among the most abstinent
1t might be well worthy the attention of our med
ical profession to investigate the for the ap
parent increase and development of certain types of
disease. None of the causes yet assigned appear
sufficient to account for such increase-WiL Jour.

CosT OF NEwsPAPER.-We read, few days
SINCE in one of our exchanges, the remark that it
takes nearly one dollar and fifty cents to publish a
weekly newspaper. We should think it does. How
any paper of usual size can be published for 81 So
without losing money, we hove not yet been able
to discover This secret is yet sealed book to U.s.
Papers are springing up all over the country,
and in order to force out circulation, offer their is
sues at subscription prices ruinous to themselves,
and injurious to their contemporaries. Thus the
business of Journalism, in localities where news
paper can be supported, under ordinary circum-
stances, is crippled and to very great extent rem
dered improbable. Some men think it is glory and
honor enough to have the name of being the editor
of paper. Such usually find out, by waiting, that
such honors are empty, and devoid Of the capacity
to furnish meat and bread for the wife and children
The result is that very often the enterprise proves
failure, creditors, suffer, and the unfortunate ad-
venturer becomes, pecuniarily, wreck. 1t takes
money to carry a newspaper and it takes patron
age to bring in money, and that patronage must pay
remunerative prices. Where this is not the case,
failures will always be the consequence. So much
for publishing newspaper at losing rates.-Prin-
ter's Meas Letter.

Mr.. E. Merriam, of Brooklyn, states that he has

sons, many of the latter of whom the accounts sta
ted were not expected to survive the injuries they

GYMNASTIC DRILL OF THE FRENCH ARMY.-The
distribution of the prizes at the military gymnastc
school at Joinv.e lie Pont has revealed at the same
time to the public the existence of such an eStab-
liShment and the end and aim for which it has been
created The solemnity was witnessed by the Min
lister of War; and all the chest officers of the French
army. The candidates for distinction are all officers
subalternS, having already served and the object
of competition is the diploma of Monitor" or rath-
err the degree of - Bachelor of Agility" which is
conferred upon the most dexterouS in many sports,
with view of securing the appointment of gymnas-
tic master in one or other of the regiments of the
French army. The institution of Joinvillc confines
itself entirely to the instruction of gymnastic and
other bodily exercises, whether mpartng strength,
skill grace, according to the system here adopted.
We are surprised that every soldier in the French
service is not an Admirable Crichton. The perfec-
ton of the Zouaves no longer astonishes and we
cannot wonder at the clumsey inferiority of the
British soldier, from whom such instruction as i'm
parted at Joinvle is wholly withheld, and who.
consequently, knows only how to present himself
before the enemy, and hangs back with awkward
bashfulness when uShered suddenly into the COM
pany of friends. Here we have grown up, bronzed
and bearded men, warriors who have stormcd the
heights Of Alma, and rushed on Malakotf, compct-
ing together for an "acces>it" in fencing boxing,
single stick and even dancing. Music likewise, is
not neglected and if the French soldiers so wills it.
he may become not only Turenue, a Desaix or a
Pchegru, but a TumberGk, Duprez, or Sims
Reeves all at the time. The spectacle at join
vile was most astonishing one, not by any means
entitled to contempt, only to wonder so unlike was
it to the British idea of military education. The
men danced upon wires, ran along ropes, rebound
ing like elastic balls from one to another, running
up ladders CT enormous height, then bounding to
the earth with the agility of squirrels But the
browning and most exciting portion of the whole
was the mock attack of the rcdoubt, at which the
men placed outside the broad fosse arrive with the
sounds h sa nd hi sno wo mnus s
time the redoubt is entered, and volley fired from
the Interior in spite of the great height of the walls
and the resistance opposed from within. This new
system of training should be examined, as it may
teach the secret of that selfenlurance which has
enabled the Zouaves to usurp the reputation of the
whole French army. Agility, presence of mind,
promptitude of hand and eye are more cultivated
than strength or discipline. Letter from Paris.

TIE COMMERCIAL Power OF CoTroN.-At the re.
ont r,oot;ner of tho Gotton planterS ASS0ciAtiOn

TIE COMMERCIAL Power OF CoTToN-At the re.
cent meeting of the Cotton Planters Association,
held at Macon, Georgia, an interesting paper was
read on the commercial influence of cotton. consId
sidered in its relation to the trade AMI industry OF
the world. The memoir was drawn up by COM
mittce appointed for the purpose consisting OF
Messrs Rogers, Davis, Hillman, Rumph and Belvin.
Taking for the basis of their calculations the esti-
mate Of Mr. Marcy. when, as Secretary of State, in
obedience to a request made by The House OF Re
representatives. he submitted q report in which ne
placed the average value of the annual cotton crop
of the United States at $.0000000O, the committee
add to this sum $33 100000 as the value of the cot
ton crop produced in other countries-thus stating
the total production of the world at $4,000 Sup
posing that of the product thus raised in different
countries an amount to the value of $33 900 is
retained at home for the purposes of immediate
domestic cOnsumption-and this is about the amount
according to the best data attanable by the commit
tee-they assume as the basis of their first depar-
ture in estimating the commercial power of cotton
that at least 900 worth of the raw material
enters into the commercial exports of the world
AS these exports imply an import of equal value in
the way of exchangeable commodities, the CONNER
cal power of cotton in this its preliminary aspect
rises to the sum of 200,O00OOO
But the manufacturing countries which receive
this cotton turn 1t into textile fabrics which acquire
a greatly enhanced value above the cost of the raw
material. This increased value is moderately eStl-
mated by the committee at six times the original
price of the commodity. All of this manufactured
cotton is not needed for home consumption and, ac-
cordng to the best tables it is estimated that more
than one.sixth of the cotton imported into manu-
featuring countries is recxported in the shape of the
manufactured article, which thus lends itself new
to the promotion of commerce. The skilled labor
expended on the portion thus re-exportcd, gives to
it the value of at least 500, 100000 which determ-
lining in return an import to an equal amount adds
at least 5000, 900 to the commercial exchanges
of the world insomuch that, n the light of these
Statistics the committee estimate that the immediate
influence of cotton in supporting and maintaining
the commercial activity of civilized States is repre-
scented by not less, in numbers, than 14oO,
600, 900 per annum.
1t is obvious that this calculation may be indefn
itely extended in its industrial applications and con-
nections, in order to show in all its relations and
bearings the politico-enconomical Importance of cot
ton, considered as an clement in the great web of
human affars.-Nat. Int.
