Virtue Extracted by Kicks.

For pure, unmitigated and malignant polt-
icaI virtue, commend us to a decapitated off
cial. George Sanders is a specimen. Turned
out of the post of Navy Agent, he turns vir-
tuous, insists that there shall be no more
official cakes and ale and discharges his
camoufet at Mr.. Buchanan. He probably
imagines the style to be that of Junius, but it
is piscatory. Most of the things have been
said before against Mr.. Buchanan, when
Sanders was holding Office under him, and
defending him. and the worst things that he
says in regard to the Presidents character,
Saunders knew just as well when he was
plotting to nominate and elect Mr. Buchanan
as he does now. 1t is an eruption of virtue
which would not have exceeded Sanders
retentive powers if he had been retained il
office. ..... ....

The ladies at White Sulphur Springs are
going to give tableaux exhibition tonight
for the amusement of the guests. Menter's
Band will make the music. Up there, the
ladies have nothing to do but to be just as
agreeable as they can. They toilnot, neither
do they spin yet Solomon, in all his, glory,
with 700 wives and 300 concubines, would
not compare with them. Few men who
have ever been exposed to the charms of
women, when they made themselves as
agreeable as they could, have survived.
There is no use talking: it is not in human
nature to escape. 1t is pity that no method
has been discovered of mitigating such at
tacks by vaccination; but in spite of the pre-
ventive appliances of art and reason, they
still must be taken in the natural way.
The White Sulphur Springs are good,
doubtless but they are encompassed by
Sirens which may excite affections that nc
sulphur can drive out We advise liberia
use of the water, but great caution as to the
surroundings

Defending the Faith In California

San francisco has a Mission Sunday
school, started by two laymen of the Episco-
pal Church, on account of quarrel between
the teachers and rector of the Church of the
Advent, which has gathered about 9O0chil-
dren and which makes them good without
making them unhappy-a proceeding of
dubious orthodoxy. 1t has numerous festi-
walls, in which music and dancing is a feature,
Just as it was in the house of the wicked man
whose prodigal son returned-as if a family
where dancing was allowed would not neces-
sarily have prodigal sons-and it this year
announced its intention to have a grand eel
ebration of the Fourth of July, with pro-
cession, military escort, girls in white and
flowers, representing the States a Goddess of
Liberty in stars, such as the French Revolu-
ton worshiped, and it invited all Sunday
schools, Jew and Gentle, to join; and among
its other attractions announced an address
from Rev. T. Starr King, the celebrated Uni
tartan clergyman.
But the Standing Committee of the Do-
cese came down on this nice and loose ar
rangement, as vigorously as the Prophet
Samuel came down on Saul for spairing the
women and focks of the Amalekites and
Agag, their King and on the Both of June
they published the following bull
"ResoIved, That tae action of the officers
of the Episcopal Mission Sunday-school, in
their celebration of the Fourth of July, by
which they have invited an Unitarian Clergy
man to deliver an address to the children Of
Episcopal Sunday schools, has been had
without the sanction of any of the Clergy oi
the Protestant Episcopal Church in this Dio-
cese, and does not meet the appreciation OF
the Standing Committee, at present the &C.
clesiastical authority of the Diocese.
"ResolUed That the Secretary of the Stand
ing Committee be directed to publish this
resolution.

| utes.
"Attest: BENZ. AKERLY, Sec'y."
Since the time of Henry VIII, of blessed
memory, no such defender of the faith has
arisen as this standing committee of the Cal
ifornia Diocese, and it is plain that in theil
hands the pure milk of the Word will be pre-,
served from adulteration.
Mr.. King politely asks Of the committed
the impertinent question, Why the invita-
ton to Unitarian Minister to address az
assemblage on the Fourth of July, in whicl
the children of Episcopaliaus join, is such AZ
offense that it meets the disapprobation O
every member of their body, and every Epis
copal clergyman in this Slater

A PECULIAR MANNER OF PRocEDURE.--A
rather singular combination of piety, specu-
lation and honesty has lately electrified the
good citizens of Cuba. A military man see
ing that church which had been vigorously
commenced hade fair to remain in an unfin-
ished condition for lack of money, avowed
his intention Of investing in the Havana
Lottery, promising to give half of any sum
he might draw to aid in completing rthe
church, and this promise he sealed with q
vow to the Virgin. He drew $50. 1t was
patent however, that the half of this sum
would be but an Insignificant gift to the
church, and so, thinking that the Virgin
would look after her own interests, he imme-
diately reinvested the whole. The conse-
quence was that he drew fourth -of the
capital prize, $4,000. 1t is pleasing to know
that the pious and gallant soldier did NOT
dissolve his copartnership with the Virgin
until he had paid into the Spanish Bank, to
the order of the Bishop, the $6,25O, according
to the original agreement. The moral of the
story--if 1t can be called a moral--is this:
there isnothing wrong in dickering in lottery
tickets if You will give half the profits to a
church. .r.-f .rrstlsf - -rsr iiif5

EXPLORING EXPEDITION FROM THE NoRTH.
An exploring expedition, out upon scientific
purposes, which started from North Conway,
N. H., one day last week, tracked and gave
chase to a huge bear, weighing fully 600
pounds, through the dense forest west of
the Moat Mountains. Giving up the chase
finally, they found, upon their return, that
he had been frightened from the forest and
sweeping round through what is called the
tested with bears, he passed directly through
the field adjoining the farm Of Mr.. Hamilton
Lucy. In his fight, he here seized a full
grown Derby ram, and plunging into the
deep woods below the farm, was lost to sight
before chase could be given.

Account of the Lost BalIooui.t in pit,sburv

Great anxiety is felt throughout the city,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch, for the safety OF
Professor Wilson, whose involuntary flight
in the "Great Western" on Saturday has
been noticed at great length. The rumors
that he landed at Sharpsburg, or near there,
turn out as we supposed they would, to
have been without foundation. II does ap-
pear certain that he came down very near
Bakerstown. A gentleman who saw the
balloon, says it swept along near the tree
tops, rose, was subsequently caught by
contrary current of air, and came back near
Bakerstown, dropped very low, and then
suddenly rose to a considerable hight, and
swept off rapidly. The report that Professor
w. landed near that place, and was consid-
erably injured by the sudden conclusion,
does not appear probable, as we have inform
alton that the balloon was seen to pass over
Kittanning, in Armstrong County toward
dark. II must have been blowing about in
all sorts of directions in the interim. This
is the last we hear of it, and shall watch
with intense interest for news from that
quarter. %. 8.. ..s14. t 0.. It Fa
Had Prof W. been provided with an an
chor or graphing irons, we should hope that
in coming so near the earth he might
have succeeded in fastening TO the tree tops
or some object so that he could land; but he
had nothing of the kind. The guy ropes and
the remnant of the main rope, of course, were
dangling from the basket but could be Of
| little use, as he would not-haye time to use
them TO fasten his unmanageable runaway
or "hyaway." Every hour now adds to the
uncertainty Of his fate, and renders the
chances of safe landing more and more re-
mote. Still, we can but hope for the best,

The North Carolina Election.

North Carolina has a slavery question:
local slavery question, which is the principal
political issue in the State election that took
place there last Tuesday. As if an irrepress-
ible sectional conflict were not enough, the
slavery question must invade the local poll
tics of the South. The question is whether
slaves shall be taxed according to their value,
as other property is or according to hori-
zontal assessment, by which a vast amount of
slave property is exempt from taxation. It
is question between Shareholders and non
shareholders, for one of the privileges that
slavery claims, and is but part of the same
irrepressible conflict. 1t carries possible ul-
terror consequences, besides the mere taxing
slave property at its true value, though that
seems hard enough where slave property has
habituAlly been partially exempt from taxa
tion, as it has in most Of the South; that is,
that one Of these days slaves may be subject
10, excessive taxation, when a non-slaye-
holding majority may be disposed to use
their power against ii. The same question
exists in Virginia, where slaves beyond a
certain age are assessed by horizontal rule
at $780, Il has already been agitated to some
extent there. Probably the same condition
exists in all the South, brought about by the
custom of assessing slaves at an arbitrary
price, and by the great increase in the value
of slaves.

The Great Eastern and the sabbnlh.

We published, from a religious paper, n
few days ago, the reason why the Great
Eastern had been, and always must be, q
failure. 1t was Sunday work. For this
she stuck in launching, her designer
died, her captain was drowned, she blew
up, her stockholders sunk their investment,
and she never could make any money God
had her in hand; so the paper said.
The excursion to Cape May shows that the
penalty for violated Sabbath still pursues
her. In leaving New York some of the
tackle of the eighty-tun anchor broke, and
the anchor was not secured without great
delay, difficulty and danger; then it was
found that the cock of water-tank had
been left open, and 1000 passengers, at
$40 each, were put on a short allowance
Of water, which was sold at ten cents a
glass. As the religious paper obser ved,
'People will say this was an accident" but
the devout mind will inquire, who turned
that cock?
The escaped water ran among the provis-
ions and ruined the greater part of them so
that the pleasure excursionists were put on
short allowance of food. Five hundred OF
them were obliged to sleep on deck, under a
shower of cinders. The passengers held an
indignation meeting, and censured the Di-
rectors; but they did not get back their $40
nor did they put the blame where it belongs
on that Sunday work. Let passengers who
recognize sgreat First Cause, avoid that
vessel, as they would one that sailed on Fri
day, or from which a cat had been drowned
for that Sunday work will be sure to croy
