At the late meeting of the Elders and
Deacons of Bethel Presbytery, held at Chester
C. H., the following resolution was adopted:
Resolued, That we recommend the last Thurs
day of September, to be set apart by the Elders
and Deacors of this Presbytery, for united pray
er for the success of the gospel among US, and
for the outpouring of the spirit of God.
49, A writer in the Natchitoches Chronicle
says that the people in that part of Louisiana are
fearful of a coming famine-thousands of acres
of grain having failed to return the seed of the
husbandman; the cotton being completely ruin
ed, save on the rivers and bayous; and the crop
of acorns aud nuts, on which their meat is usual
ly fattened, being blasted and gone. The writer
proposes to convene an extra session Of the Leg
~islature at an early day, for The purpose of ap-
propriating funds to save the people from want,
if not from actual starvation!
by this time, it is more than likely that
Garibaldi Las set up his government at Naples,
and declared himself Dictator Of the Two Sici'
lies. According to the latest accounts, he had
taken Raggio and 1900 prisoners; and the Cali
brians were focking to his standard by thous-
ands. Many Neapolitan officers have said that
they would not fight against Italians. Moreover
Victor Emanuel is said to have affirmed that he
could not resist the tide Of Italian feeling-that
he must lead in their movement for union snd
freedom, or be swept away by it. He was send.
ing, at the latest information, all the Sandman
troops he could muster to Naples, to prsvent the
government from going to anarchy. This means
that Francis II can no longer manage the affairs
of Naples, and that Garibaldi must and will be
sustained as Dictator.
- The fusion movement in New York is
still pending, though likely to be a complete
failure. Douglas threw cold water upon it, in a
speech which he made recently in hat State
He expressed his desire to defeat Lincoln, and
his willingness to unite with any man, provided
he would first assert his unalterable and ~inalien-
able attachment to the Union, and his readiness
to assist any administration in carrying out the
laws of the land under any and every contingen
cy. Till MIR. Breckenridge should do this, he
need not talk about union. He was for the Con-
%stitution and the enforcement of the laws, at
every hazard and wished another Jackson was
here among US to hang Northern and Southern
traitors on the san gallowa. Verify, he is a
patriot sin whom there is no guile"
-The "Wide. awakes," is the name of a
new politico-military organization, which origi-
mated in Hartford, Connecticut, about O year
ago, and has in view the two,f fold design of aiding
in Lincoln's election, and afterwards, if necessa.
ry, of helping to enforce his administration upon
the Southern States. Notwithstanding the in
justice, hostility, revolution and bloodshed in
this thing, the fraternity is said to flourish in
every considerable town throughout the North
North West. Four thousand turned out
lately to serenade Thurlow Weed, at Syracuse,
New York, and six thousand paraded recently
at Portland, Maine. Since Lincoln's nomina-
ton, many of them call themselves "Rail'split-
or "Rail. maulers." They drill at night
with torches, which they can exchange for mus
kets at a moments warning. Their uniform is
a leather cape and caps to match. They are
drilled like soldiers; and have two distinct sets
of officers, civil and military.
- Prof. Lowe, who last winter announced
his purpose of taking a balloon excursion to
Europe on last May, but who has met with va.
rious obstacles to retard the development Of his
plans, if not to defeat them altogether, was re.
Gently initiating his balloon in Philadelphia, pre-
to his erial fight, when all of a sud-
den his balloon collapsed-as quall of wind, com
bined with the pressure of the gas, having made
a rent down the side of ut least twenty feet!-
In half an hour, it is said, the immense aerial
ship with it's. basket and boat, and q tons of
ballast besides a ton of other things 10 the shape
of melons, crockery, kegs, sponges, fans, cush-
ions, oars, anchor, flags, looking glass, twine,
&C., &c., would have been afoat in the heavens.
But alas in an evil hour-just when fruition
was in his grasp-the Prof. was doomed to add
illustration to the fact, that ali the great
feats of genius are slow and tedious in their &C.
complishmeut.
Gen. Walker, according to the latest
news from Honduras, has been taken prisoner.
The English vessel, Icarus, in league with the
Honduran governor, Guardiola, ordered Walker
to leave the town of Truxillo; which he did with
about eighty men. He was, nevertheless, fol-
attacked at different times, and when his
men were reduced to some twenty-five, was tn
ken. Walker has an ugly flesh wound on the
face. We have not heard where he is, nor what
will become of him. Some men-he among
to be born, as the poet says, "with
large heart and weak hauds"-as Solomon ex-
it. with more zeal than Knowledge
out of joint with their times, lawless yet giving
law to others, blind yet gifted with a kind OF
"second-sight" that sees into and shapes the fu
ture. We predict-and who can doubt?-that
Walkers fllibustering dreams will ono day be
magnificent realities!
The New Orleans Picayune contradicts the a.
bove statement, and says that, according to the
very latest news, Walker was u%ncaptured, and
had with him rs men, having each one hundred
rounds of ammunition.
