The Terpelehofean Clerey.

The Ternalchoreen CieHefs ~
The Princes BAH at New York demon
strated one thing that is, that clergymen
and Tract Society Directors, who publish
tracts on the sin of dancing, can not manage
a ball. We dislike to write any thing to
disparage the clergy, and the impression
made on our youthful mind by the tract
which told Of young woman who attended
a ball when she should have gone to prayer
meeting, and providentially took cold and
died, shrieking in the torments Of guilty
conscience, is not yet effaced, therefore, we
have profound veneration for Directors of
Tract Societies; therefore, it is with pain
that we remark that clergymen and Tract
Society Directors can not manage ball.
1t is a lesson to clergymen not to under
take too much. 1t shows that man may
be very competent to lead the devotions and
reprove the sins of the people, and yet not
be fit to manage ball. The lesson may be
worth the cost, for future use, even if the
Prince does 60 back with the idea that a trap
was set to precipitate him into a chasm in
the ballroom floor. In future let there be a
division of sacred duties, as there was in
Paups time, when complaint was made that
the widows were not properly cared for,
and some were chosen TO serve tables and
widows. Let some be chosen to serve balls,
and let the clergymep devote themselves to
spiritual affairs. Then all things will work
together for good.
In ancient times there was more
versatility. David was accomplished in
holy Offices, while his dancing was marvel
ofagility and grace. But since the increase
of mankind and the great addition to the
cares of Providence by the discovery of
America, inspiration is more economically
dispensed Men are Scaled" to particular
professions; and it is demonstrated that they
may be eminent clergymen, and may pub
lish very powerful tracts against dancing;
and yet not be fit to manage ball.
Furthermore, it is probable that the open
ing of frightful chasm in the floor at the
New York ball, was intended to show the
divine displeasure that clergymen and Tract
Society Directors should assume duties for
which they were so unfit. The ground opened
and swallowed Korah, Dathan and Abiram
for undertaking something which they did
not understand, and it was strictly according
to the "unities" of Providence that the floor
should open as it did at the ball, and swal-
low thirty or forty. Whether the clergy
men and Tract Society Directors themselves
were swallowed, is no indication of the pur-
pose Providence does not stop at such
details. When David sinned in numbering
Israel, it was Israel, not David, that was
destroyed.
Let the lesson be remembered. Let cler.
gymen and Tract Society Directors concen
trate all their energies on preaching and pub
fishing tracts against the sin of dancing
without themselves trying to exemplify it
Their failures have a tendency to damage
their influence; for if the world finds ou
that they are unfit to manage a ball which
they felt themselves "called" to undertake, i
may suspect that they have mistaken theil
| call in other things.

Mr.. Douglas has no strength of his own,
either in the North OF in the South. His |
friends do not expect him to carry any
Southern State; and they edmit that except |
by joining forces with Bell-and probably |
not even then-he can get nothing in the !
Northern. Standing alone, the chances, as
they appear at present, are that he can not
command a single eiectore1 vote. Hispoiiti-
cal value is simply that of disturbing ele-
ment. However unpleasant in a party point
of view, such conclusion may be, it is one
at which it is impossible not 10 arrive.
The friends Of Mr. Breekinridge call upon
Mr.. Douglas to withdraw; but although they
invoke him in the name of the Democracy,
they have nc. hold upon him in that behalf
A Democracy with rival candidates for the
Presidency Is not such an unity as 10 give
one section any claim upon the other. OF
the two candidates -<;df Douglas--if either
is the legitimate; he has the party leave to
stay if he wants to, and no mere opinion
adverse to his success is sufficient reason
for his removal If he withdraws, it should
be in compliance with permission coming
from very different quarter. Ill.
Mr.. Douglas would probably be quite will
ing to go out but how can he? Party
usage has asyet provided no regular means
to annul the effect of a nomination; and to
depart without leave would be taken as an
act of desertion. In the most desperate
straits, politicians and party Journalists will
imagine contingencies upon whichto predi-
cate calculations of successi and 50 long as
this can be done the candidate has nothing
to do but to stand, the forlorn representative
of hopes in which he does not. participate.
Mr.. Douglas 80 be pitied. There is no ro-
nance in a struggle where hope has de-
parted. Ss1 81 81
In looking over the calculations of the
friends of Mr., Bpeekinridge, his chances
do not look brilliant. Even if Mr..
Douglas should be Withdrawn, the case,
at the best, would only stand, all the
South for him, all the North for Mr..
Lincoln; the prospects Of the latter for the
whole Of his section being better than
those of the former for the whole Of his.
This can notmake him President, nor, with a
reasonable allowance Of accidents in his
favor, defeat o choice by thepeople. Mr..
Breckenridge "a thereioEe, even Is he ap-
pears through his own Organs, as dead prac-
tieally, as Mr.. Dougias with this difference
against him, that, whereas his timely with
drawal might have improved the prospects

have placed him in better position than h

A Virginia Fire-En.lns journal on Dis

The Richmond Enquirer in predicting a
dissolution of the Union as inevitably con-
sequent on the election of Mr.. Lincoln, holds
the following extraordinary language with
reference to that conservative old Common
wealth, which the late William o. Preston
was wont to call the alag ship" of the
Union: -
"Virginia can no more prevent the disso-
luton of this Union after Lincoln's election
than she can prevent that election. She will
be powerless to prevent civil war, with all
its attendant horrors. Any one of the
Southern States can, and some of them will
involve the whole country, North as well as
South, in the internecine strife of bloody
and desolatiug civil war Virginia will, by
a majority of her people, decide upon resist
ance, while large minority may desire to
postpone resistance for the covert act" but,
hitched as she is to the Southern States she
will be dragged into common destiny with
them, no matter what may be the desire OF
her people. We believe that large ma
iority Of the people of Virginia, if the OPP
portunity efa State Convention was allowed
them, would vote for immediate resistance
and for a common destiny with the Southern
States; and with this belief we would advise
thk slave States not to hesitate to strike an
early blow from fear that Virginia may hesi-
tate in her duty to the South"

PAINFUL DOMESTIC TRAGEDY IN NEW Or
LEANs-A Nan Killed an an ARRAY By has
Step-Son.-W Wednesdays New Orleans Pic
dyane remarks;
I. T. Wilson, cotton-screwer, was killed
by r. Swan, his step-son, last night. This
sad affair arose from family quarrel. Mrs.
Wilson is the mother of FIVE children by her
first husband. She married the deceased
about eight months ago. Wilson had been
a seafaring man, and was strict discipline
rian, and somewhat rough and brutal in his
manner, although an honest and well-mean-
ing man. His treatment of his wife's
Younger children incensed the oldest and
caused his frequent interference, and some
weeks ago they had quarrel; every day
made thebreac6 wider, and the family circle
became intolerable. Yesterday morning the
quarrel was renewed, and Wilson threatened
the Young man to kill him if he came back
in the house.
Last evening, young Swan, who is learn
ing the blacksniths trade, came home after
his days work and went to his room. He
was sitting on his bed, when his step-fathel
learning that he had come, and enraged al
| this resistance to his orders, entered the
room and, it is alleged, assaulted him bru'
tally. The young man drawing small
single-barrel pistol from his pocket, dis
charged it at his step-father, the ball taking
effect in the neck. Wilson, although
wounded, renewed the attack, and young
Swan then using dirk, stabbed him eigh
or nine times, killing him on the spot. Aftel
the fatal deed was done, Swan went out o
the house, andmeeting policeman, told hin
what had occurred, and surrendered himself

Good but Slow.

The New Workers undertook to impress
the Prince with our immense military power.
They paraded 5000 of the citizen sOldiery,
and it took four hours to get them into
column and march them from the Battery
to the City Hall and before they could all
march past the Prince, it had become so dark
that he had to retire, and the parade was cut
short. Generalship which requires four hours
to maneuver 6OOO men from line into
column and march them mile, will not
seem very formidable to the Prince and the
military men with him. General Sandford
was very careful to inform the Prince that
these soldiers followed daily employment.
Probably the Prince thought thattheir Cen
eral, at least, had better stick to it. .''.'' d.
