Whence grateful voices greet the skies,
And sound thy praise with tuneful Tyre.
Here thankful hearts, with sacred awe.
And men enlightened happy, free,

And dedicate House to Thee.

followed him to his last resting place, making
a handsome procession behind the solemn but
richly caparisoned hearse, accompanied by a
fine band of music, playing the melancholy

Dear SIR: Let me trouble you with a line
about Miss Polly Ticks in this meek Of the
woods" Have you ever heard OF this place,
Jackson? Not Gen. Jackson, whom most
people have "hearn Of" nor Jackson, the
capital of our sister State, said to be a clever
city, but the famous little burg of that name
here in our own State. 1t is, in Itself, quite
an "institution, " and is made up principally
of such things. Away out among the hills
you'll find il, where it has been rather easy
this past summer for the grass to grow.
wonder you've not heard of it, and am at a
loss what to attribute it unless the "tSms
which bear the p~refixes Of D1ugLIS and Bill

around 'PersimmontOwn."
These isms, and particularly the former,
have for some time been rampant IN this
famous little town. Douglas would BE- Pres

fore raising the pole the Breck and Lane Club
repaired to the old college chapel, where
Hon. Thomas Scott was called to the chair,
and Mr.. Wickliffe, editor of the spirit OF the
South published in Clinton, proceeded to
address the meeting. Mr.. WicklIfTe cannot
be termed an eloquent speaker, but he is n
good talaer-argues closely-ressOns well,
and draws his conclusions directly and fairy.
This speech Of Tuesday was attentively heard,
and has not been without it's effect. 1t estab-
lished clearly that we have not long to wait
for the 'irrepressibie conflict" for it is upon
us, and we Of the South must meet the issue
directly, not by piping to the honeyed sound
of that "sweet old song" the Union and
the Constitution forever" or the dolefui plaiu'
Of save the Union" but by voting FIR these

The Negro VS.. the Serpent.

Vne NEGRO VS. tne seiPoh"
We conclude to, day the article Of DR.. Cart"
wright upon the Unity Of the Human Race, IN
which he assumes to prove there was al inferior
race of immortal beings made by the AInlgh'
ty, before he created the race OF Adam III MS
own image. This race was black and other
wise colored-was put under the dominion OF
Adams race, with all other living creatures
and at the flood had u pair OF its species
preserved, like all other animals that 1t was
not a serpent who tempted Eve, but a negro
who was a gardener. The negro, however,
contends DR.. c., was himself the slave oil a
serpent, that they are in principle ailke the
characteristics attributed to the seIpent-that
il was the cause of some innate magnetic IN
iuence predomjnatjuE n the serpent, and
which il used, iu>tiucuveiy perhaps, to enSIaVe
or make the negro subject to is viii and
that there are thousands Of negroes now in
Hayti who worship the snake, aud who
are thrown into COMMISSIONS when brought
into contact with It by the c~onjuror or priest,
and whatever the negro then utters, Il the
law. Our own slaves, he saws, or their an.
~cestors, were the slaves of the serpent before
thew became the slaves OF the Christian white
men. We find the article much heightened
in the Concordia Inteligercer, and after fin
ishing it in DeBow's Eeejeio, we take it up
where it next commences in the former jour.
nal. 1t is highly interesting to an iuquir.ng
mind, and deserves general perusal.
In connection with this subject, we append
the following, which We find going the rounds
Of our exchanges
A pamphlet of eighty pages, got up
by c. b. Tompson, Of St. Louis, called
the NdrhGsiogyQ0. is meant 10 prove that
il was a negro and not Il serpent that
tempted Eve. He says that the hebrew
word EachaA means niger instead OF
snake. We agree with Mr.. Tompson
that the darkey has brought a good
deal trouble into the world. He is the
present subject OF 'all our Woe"
y curious circumstance relating to the ser
pent, which is not inappropos here, has Just
been made public as having occurred in New
York State. The parents Of a little girl motto
ed that she frequently went into tie fields
Anxious to ascertain the cause, and wonder
ing what could tempt their daughter to sucl
freaks, they watched her, aud one day they
caught her sitting and playing with a grea
big snake in her lap. She was prevented from
gong out to the reptile, when she would CRY
for her baby" aud soon grew sick. Admit
ted again to have her liberty, the snake woull
come for her, when they would so to the wood,
together. Determining 10 put a stop to thi,
terrible association, the parents took then
child to New York for the best mcdica. advice
The physician concluded tba! the snake hat
obtained all the electricity from the child. Il
again declined, and suddenly died. 1t WAS af
forwards discovered that a serpent, suppose,
to be the same that had charmed the it'll,
girl, had been killed about the same Tine 81,
died.
