SHIPMENT OF ARMS FROM New York.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes:
The State police have been so absorbed
with the ceremonies of the Lincoln recep.
ton, that Superintendent Kennedy has
permitted at least some 5000, 900 worth of
arms and ammunition to slip off in steam
er which sailed on Thursday for New Or
leans. Gun carriages, rifles, reVolvers, per-
cussion caps, howitzers and camp equipage
constituted the shipment. These goods, it
is understood, are on Texan account, but
the purchase is negotiated through house
in New Orleans. A portion of these are
destined for Galveston, some for Indianola
and some for Austin. There is also good
reason for the belief thatthe last instalment
of the 100000 worth of like merchandise,
which was manufactured at an establish
ment not far from Newark, N. j., on ac.
count of Gov. Ellis, Of North Carolina,

SOUTHERN POSTAGE ACT.

SoUidEhN EoSiAVI ALL.
The most important action of the South.
ern Congress, on the 24th instant, was the
removal of secrecy from the following re-
port and bill:
The Committee on Postal Affairs having
considered of the duties assigned them,
have instructed me to submit the following
report, and the bill accompanying the same.
The Committee have mainly directed
their inquiries to the question whether,
without material inconvenience to the pub
lie, the Post Office Department of this Con.
federacy can be made selfsustaining.
The Committee find from the latest and
most reliable means of information of which
they have been able to avail themselves,
that the excess of expenditure over the re.
ceipts of this Department in the six States
comprising this Confederacy, for the fiscal
year ending 30th June, 1859, was 81, $780,
595S3. They have not been able to OBJ
tain the report of such receipts and expen-
ditures of the last fiscal year, but they pre-
sumo the above furnishes an approximation
sufficiently accurate for the predicate of our
present action.
To provide for this deficit, your Commit
tee would suggest that the rates of post
age may be increased, as proposed by the
accompanying bill. BY this bill they esti-
mate an increase of receipts approximating
s57s,s75S3.
They believe that saving can be effect
ed by change in the mode of letting out
mail contracts, adopting what is usually
called "the star, bid system" Providing
all due safeguards for the celebrity, certain
ty, and security of the mails, but without
other restrictions as to the mode of trans
portation. In this way your Committee are
satisfied that the expense of mail transpor-
tation may be reduced, say 33 l.3 per cent.
upon the present cost, say s6l9,033.
They are further of opinion that there
should be a discontinuance of numerous
routes, the cost of which is greatly dispropor-
TONED to their convenience, and the receipts
of the post offices supplied by them. In this
way they believe q saving of Ito of the
present cost of transportation may be attain
ed, say s206,344.
The service upon many of the routes may,
without material detriment, be changed,
daily routes reduced to tri-weekly, &c., at
an estimated reduction Of, say S2O6, 244.

Maior-General Bonham,

The Charleston Mercury contains the fol-
lowing biographical sketch of General Bon.
ham, who has recently been appointed, by
Governor Pickens, ajor.General of the
armed military force Of South Carolina :.
General Bonham is native of this State,
and graduated at the South Carolina Col
lege in 1884. Heis lawyer by profession,
but has spent most of his Life 10 the public
service. He was Brigade.Major Of Bulls
Brigade of South Carolina Volunteers in the
Florida war, in 1885; was appointed Lieu
tenant Colonel of the 18th Infantry; in
March, 1s47 promoted to the Coloneey,
in August, 1S47; was With General Scott
in the great Mexican battles, and was wound.

preachers have renounced the great doc.
trines of grace as they are taught in the
standards of the reformed churches X X
1t is not theory but demonstrated fact,
that Abolitiouism leads to in6delity. Such
men as Garrison and Giddings and Gerrit
Smith have yielded to the current of their
own principles and thrown the Bible over
board. Thousands of humble men, who
listen to Abolition preachers, will 60 and
do likewise" " This is a truthful utterance
made by noble servant of God, who knew
what he said, and which admits of hun.
dred illustrations. Who does not discern
that where the battle against shareholders
RACES hottest there all the isnss grow most
rankly? Who does not even know, that
the States in which Aboitionism has a.
chieved its most signal triumphs, are at the
same time the strong holds of in6delity p
To this we add that in innumerable instan.
ces, the very men-and women too-who
have composed an Abolition society and
Convention on one day, have the very next
day, met in Convention to discuss and
advocate LiJertinisma, as opposed to the
marriage relation, Wonsans-ragAtisna, and
Communism, and every other ism destruct-
i've of good morals This same spirit, so
prolific in its spawn of evils, has carried a
principle of separation so far, that thous-
ands of the best and most enlightened chris
tiaus have been excommunicated by the
United Presbyterians, the Associate Re-
formed, the Covenanting, the New School
Presbyterians, the Baptists and the Meth
odists, all of which Churches have in the
North, been so Aboltionized that their
Southern membership, when it existed at
all, was virtually cut off. Who does not
distrust doctrine which is the ally and pa
rent of so many evils in the community and
church 4? And yet this is the opposition to
slavery, when heated by fanaticism, and
nourished by passion and prejudice and
bigotry.
5. 1t, beyond all this, leads to the viola
ton of oaths and compacts and covenants,
and to the perpetration of deeds of violence
contrary to every law of God and we'll or
dereo Government. In proof we need only
to point to oaths of Office as often violated
by Abolition Congressman, the trampling
under foot of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, by States and men welded to
Abolitionism, and the deeds of murder,
robbery, insurrection and incendiarism so
nearly being largely enacted in more than
one slaveholding State in the last few years
by the rash representatives of an apti-slave-
ry spirit The sentiment of opposition to
slavery, which exhibits the features, con,
comitants, tendencies and results, depicted
in this article, not only thereby proclaims
its bastard, base and abominable origin and
character, but also reflects credit and com.
nendation upon its antagonistic doctrine Of
slavery, lawful and moral. What we have
herein said, applies primarily only to Aboli-
tionism. In the other forms that opinion
adverse to slavery has assumed, it does not
yield the same characteristics and fruits,
because of the difference in the minds and
habits of its possessors, and other counter
acting and controlling influences not named
BY PHILEMON.

RIDING Or WALKING. .-"A correspon.
dent wishes to know of which we think the
most bighly-riding on horseback or walk
ing. This will depend on the object in
view; if it be to escape from robber we
should ride, since horse can run faster
than a man if it be to get away from a Ia
dy who said "no," We should ride, also, both
for speed and that mental diversion which
the motion of horse occasions. But if
we are going to some place of guilt, or to
meet any company where we must leave our
religion behind US, we should walk, and
walk at slow pace; perhaps before We get
there we may turn about, and if we do we
shall bring back a much more quiet cousci-
ence than we should if we dashed ahead.
Peace of conscience is easily lost, but it is
recovered only through our tears"

The PREs1DENT.-For many days past
rumors have been rife to the effect that
Jefferson Davis, President of the Confeder-
ate States, was on his way to Charleston
Yesterday morning some color was given to
these reports by the publication Of q dis
patch, dated Montgomery, announcing the
departure of the President for this city.
1t is scarcely necessary for US to say that,
had such been the case, the readers of the
Mercury would have been duly informed of
the fact in our special dispatches from Mont
gomery. President Davis is still in that
city, and from present appearances is likely
to remain there.
We may add that General Donovant was
yesterday summoned by telegraph to the
seat of the Provisinoanl Government, to con-
fer with the Secretary of War.-Charles-
ton Mercury, 18th ultimao.
