gravely proposes that the South shall-after Dis

Of England!

Montgomery Pest well says, that the first of these
propositions would be bad enough, but-shade of

AN ATTEMPT TO BRIDE GARIBALDL-A story told
some days ago by the Paris Steele which was
thought so improbable as to be unworthy of notice,
is confirmed by publication in one of the last
numbers of the official journals of Naples. NJ La
Cecilia, Neapolitan emigrant of no very good re-
pute, who was recently arrested at Baslcate asserts
that he was sent to Garibaldi by the last ministry
of the King of the Two Sicilies or at least by NM
Mamma, Spinelli, and Martina, with the following
most extraordinary position: If Garibaldi would
promise not to attack the Neapolitan States the
King would pay him down three millions of ducats
IN ready money, lend him his feet and fifty thou
sand soldiers to attack Venice allow him to recruit
volunteers in his kingdom, and give him free
passage across the Abruzzi to invade the Roman
States" The Steele added the dramatic incident that
when Garibaldi refused the three millions of ducas
he haG on pair of darned breeches.

The PosTIoN OF THE GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA
The New Orleans Delta of Wednesday last contains
a long letter from Governor Moore. in reply to a
note sent him by number Of prominent: citizens,
requesting his opinion to the proper policy for
the South to pursue in the event of the success of
the Republican party. The letter of the Governor
is an elaborate discussion Of the question at ISSUE
but closes with the following direct reply to the in
terrogatory:
1t is asked, il Lincoln be elected President what
should the South do? To this answer, that do
not regard it as wise or prudent to commit myself
either as citizen or magistrate, 20 any extreme
measure. But speaking for myself and for myself
alone, am free to say that the success of Mr. Lin
coin would justify the Southern States in withdraw
ing from the Union. But / do not advise, o. bind
myself personally, officially, to this particular
course | think the Southern States should meet
in conference some means may be devised to
save US from the disunion that all deprecate, and
none would lament more sincerely than myself
Although surrounded by gloom and danger, | am
not without hope that We shall yet weather the
storm.
Reared in political school, one Of whose funda-
mental maxims is not to despair of the Republic,
rest if not with confidence, yet hopefully in the
belief that the good sense Of the people will yet be
made to rebuke the indelity and fanatcsm Of those
who striving to obtain possession of the Govern
ment in order to promote their evil designs. And
more than this, | feel that the South is awakening

her, and that our people, by an overwhelming ma
jority, composed IF Wings, Democrats and Ameri-
cans, will show that we can at least present to
the enemy unbroken column and united de-
fiance.
have cndeavored to reply to yovr note with
frankness and with fairness to all. | consider the
condition of public affairs unfortunate that it be-
every good citizen to orego former party dis
sensions. 1t is doubtless known to you all that
am Democrat, but beg you to believe that this
reply to your note is not written in partisan spirit
All my interests are in Louisiana, and you will
pardon me for saying that they are large. | have
tried to answer you with moderation and to state
nothing but what am convinced is strictly true
Our strongest reliance for the preservation of the
Union is upon a united South, and that be
manifested only by supporting Mr.. Breckenridge.
Respectfully, your obedient servant

NoRTH-CARoLINA WESTERN RAILRoAD.-Mr. Geo.
Wadsworth, Chief Engineer of the Dalton and Jack
sonville Railroad Company, in his late report,
speaking of the connections of that line says: In
addition to the above as through connections there
is a road being built through the whole length of
North Carolina to Ashevile, and which has been
projected on to Dalton, by way of Murphy and Duck
Town Copper Mines which will eventually form an
important extension of your road The route has
been survey ed with reference to turnpike, and the
distance made about thirty-seven miles from Dalton
to the copper mines. 1t is very likely a railroad
may be located over this route without much in
crease of distance large share of these mines are
owned by parties in Mobile and New Orleans, and
it is very probable that they also will make them
selves interested in the construction of this road
This line of roads has an eastern terminus at Nor
folk, Va. and another at Morehead City Beaufort
Harbor" This would make up continuous line
from the southern seaboard Of Virginia to the Gulf
Mt Mobile and it is highly important that it should
have its proper attention.-AsheuiLle News.

How IS TIE GOSPEL TO REACH TIE MASSES ?-Mr.
Spurgeon gives his views on this question in a re-
cent letter to the Boston Waterman and Reflector,
from which transfer the following paragraphs to
our columns:
1t is my firm belief that the salvation of London
will not come from our colleges and seats of learn
ing but from her dens and haunts Of poverty. l
look for al army of converted sinners from St Giles
and Whitechapel, men in whom fury in sin will be
exchanged for energy in righteousness, whose graft
tude for pardon will endow them with hearts of fire,
and whose acquaintance with the language Of the
masses will give them tongues Of fire.
Books may educate ministers for the polite; only
experience and study of men prepare a man to
touch the hearts OF the masses. We need preachers
who will study, not their shelves but the streets
and lanes; not paper and printing alone but human
nature in all Its varied developments The division
between the ministry and the people is far too wide
they will never be moved by professional SKILL the
orator of the mass must be bone OF their bone and
flesh Of their flesh.
Ny own success under God, is due to a sympa-
thy with humanity and an obseryant eye which de-
lights rather to view man than mans works. This
is not attainabe by any amount of research among
our learned tones. We must walk the hospitals, if
we would BE surgeons, and we must mingle with
the people if would reach their hearts. The Ian
guage of the classroom is not the speech o. the peo
pie, and il we would be understood, We must leave
our high stills behind us and walk their level,
thinking and speaking rs one OF themselves.
We need converted prize-ighters and regenerated
burglars reach their fellow criminals and sweeps,
cobbers strect-sweepers and such like will be the
right raw material for mighty preachers of the
truth. Only Thou, o Lord, put to Thine hand
Do not imagine that deprecate a regular educa-
ton; on the other hand own its utility, but Tor
the vast mass, something else is needed and have
tried to indicate il.
There is good work going on in London, and
the activity of the Christian church is everywhere
increasing. just now the Primitive Methodsts seem
to he the most alive, and brother of the name Of
Richard Weaver, a converted prize-fghter, who
wears the alias of Undaunted Dick is drawing large
congregations at St. Martins Hall. The service is
exciting, the preaching far from Calvanistc, the
congregation Of the poorest class, and the proceed
ngs altogether of singular character; but good is
real earnestness is very evident in all that IS under
TAKEN Christ is preached, and therefore rejoice;
yea, and will rejoice.
