of course have been informed Of all our

The PIRATE ALABAMA AGAIN.-Sem-
mes Is still pursuing successful career in
the Gulf. His last exploit is the capture
OF California Steamer, the Ariel, on her
way from New York to Aspinwali. The
last movements Of this pirate indicated
that this was one of his purposes, though
he expected to get hold Of one filled with
treasure. The fact of the capture being
known at Aspinwal will probably frus.
trate his purpose. The California steam.
ers will either sufficiently arm themselves,
or go under convoy Of some Of the war
vessels in that vicinity. Properlv arminc
the California steamers will probably be
one Of The surest means Of capturing the

Communication.
For the Columbia Democrat,

Col. TATE,
/ have taken the privilege
to pen few lines respecting some asser-
tions made by an Abolitionist Of Green
wood, for which, if you will please permit
space in the columns Of your most valua-
bic paper, will not only please the writer,
but, crafty those who are opposed to the
Abolition principles. There is o certain
person residing in Greenwood township
whose residence has been there for moro
than twenty years, in which time he says
he has changed the politics of that town
ship from large majority of emocrats to
majority Of Aboitonists. If this asser-
ton is true, how he has effected so great a
change, | can not conceive, since he can
neither read nor write. And if he is such
an influential man, having the power Of
controlling the minds Of a majority of the
people of his township, why was he not
elected Supervisor last spring, for he was
taken up and defeated. No, he could not
be elected for he was supported only by
few who were like those who were willing
to see the Constitution trampled under foot
and the Chicago Platform raised in it's
place. The majority was too intelligent to
be deceived in that way; hence, his de-
feat. lie says since he has oeen so sue
cessIul in swaying the minds Of the Green.
wooders, he is coming over into Fishing.
creek Township to effect change there.
What l have to say regarding this last
assertion, is that he had better prepare for
n change before he comes, for the Fishing
creekers will show no quarters 10 Aboi-

Justin Martyr aud Ireneus, we have posi-
tive proof that the Christians Of their day
believed that they were forbidden by the
gospel to bear arms.
1t was ono ofthe objections which the
enemies of Christ brought against Ills
Gospel, that his followers would not fight.
Celus, who lived at the end of the second
century, abused the christians for refusing
to bear arms, even in cases Of necessity

on the ground that war was unlawful. l
