high in Mr.. Whitefield's day-more

On one occasion, one of Mr.. White

Certainly not.'' "Ithought you wonld

The Extent Of siic Public Debt.

Thad. Stevens, the Chairman Of the
Committee of Ways and Means, Of the late
Congress, and whose position required him
to be constantly informed Of the true fl
nances, and the extent Of the public debt,
in recent speech at Lancaster, Pa, in
speaking of the public debt, said
at is generally estimated at four bill
ions in my opinion it will go far beyond
that figure. There is no use in belittlin=
it. 1t can only deceive the ignorant. and
those only for a time. 1t cannot deceive fl
nancers. One half of it now bears interest.
and the interest amounts to Sl20 900 geo
PER anuum. The ordinary expenses Of car
rying on the Government, and the sums
required for the army and navy, will
swell our annual expenditures to five hun
dred millions of dollars. The amount de
rived from internal revenue will diminish
taxation must bc double what it now Is
to meet expenses. Can our people bear
this? 1t will be curse from generation
to generation. We pity the tax ground
Engli>hman In reality we arc worse off
than he Our debt is only triflc less, and
it bears d0ablc the rate Of interest. In
the future our burthcns must be double

Interfering with The Rights Of
Conscience

y St. Louis Geographic dispatch to the
Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday, said:
Gather Cummings, a Catholic Priest
residing in Louisiana, Mo-, was arrested
few days since, taken before Judge Bag
Of the Pike Circuit Court, and sentenced
to pay a fine OF $500, for persisting in
preaching without taking the constitutional
oath Having refused to pay the fine,
and declined to permit his friends to pay
it for him, the Reverend Father is confined
in the county Jail. His case will proba-
bly, be brought before the Supreme Court
for final decision"
This high handed and oppressive act
upon the part of the radicals in Missouri,
says the Enquirer, is the beginning of the
warfare they are about to wage upon the
rights of conscience. 1t is the first step
which has been taken in this country since
1880, looking to the establishment of a
State religion. 1t Is blow aimed at the
integrity Of the clergy. 1t is the revival
of the era of religious persecution, and re-
turn to the cruel and bloody policy of the
New England Puritans, who sought to
crush out by force all religious sentiment
differing from their own. We are pro,
crossing fast on the road to persecution
when the preaching of the Gospel is made
crime upon the part of all those who
adhere to the political dictum of Thomas
Jefe lson and the fathers of our Govern
ment, nad who viii not, by test oath
repudiato them. This is now what is re.

The verdict of the coroner's jury in the
case of David Aiken, deceased, is present
ed in substance, in the following We dc
not publish the verdict in full on account
Of its length and the lateness of the hour
at which we are able to obtain it. We
are indebted to Mr. Reeve, attorney for
the State, for the synopsis:
The return of the Coroner Jury, Is
substantially that Milo I. Pelton and his
son Bruce Pelton were unlawfulIy engaged
without license, in selling intoxicating
liquors. That the deceased was in the
habit of drinking to excess at times, and it
was well known to the Peltons, and had
been for years. That on Sunday the 9th,
he came to their saloon under the inhu>
ence of liquor, which they knew. That
until o'clodk that night they sold him
liquor, gambleC for liquor with him and
permitted it to be done, and drank with
him and permitted others to do it, and he
drank rs often as once in half hour or
hour, paying for the liquor as it was drank
That at or 9 O'Clock they persuaded him
to go to Led, and put him in a room in
the garrett, difficult to escape from in case
of danger, or required haste, and left
him there, intoxicated, and with lighted
candle. That fire was communicated to
the building in that room, which consum-
ed the building, aud the deceased lost his
life, and his body was consumed in the
fire. And that this was caused by the
unlawful acts Of the Pclton's.

Southern EGOra-asOv- il is Els
coUFageI.

From the New York Times (Rep.) Sept 10 !
There are great many Southcrners in
this city trying to make arrangements Ton
a resumption Of business. As general
thing, their conduct is manly, frank and
sensiblc-calculate to win the confidence
and respect of every generous and just
community. Five in every ten Of them
haze been utterly ruined BY the rebellion
Most of them cast their fortunes into the
struggle for cause which they believed
to be right, but which they see and ac-
knowledge to have been fatally and finally
defeated. They have lost position, nhu
ence, property, children, friends-every-
thing which makes life desirable. Under
such circumstances, weak men sink down
into abject despair, or drag out the rest of
their lives in the safe obscurity Of forei IN
hands. The defeated SoutherncrS mect
their calamity in more manly style
They show in their defeat, as they did in
their strugglc-courage, desperate teaaci-
ty of purpose, and that high-spirited
readiness to meet all the responsibilities
Of their conduct. which never fails to com
mand the respect ofthe world.
1t may not seem wholly in keeping with
this courageous temper, that quite num-
Der of these persons, on reading the speech
of the Hon. Thad. Stevens, have abandon
cd their business projects and gone home
discouraged. They say they cannot face
the desolat;on which his plans proposed
for the South. They cannot put their
farms again in order, clear them Of their
incumbrenccs, rebuild their ruined dwell
ings, plant fresh crops and get a new start
in life for their children and themselves,
with the prospect, at any moment of see
Ing the whole swept away by ruthless
conGscation. They cannat work with
heart or hope while such a sword is hang
inc oYcr their heads

From the st. Louis Republican, Sept Is
Our correspondents at La Mcssilla. New
Mexico, under date of 10Th ult. confirms
the reports, through other channels, that
the French had taken chihuahua and that
Juarez had fed to FL Paso, ready, on the
further advance of the enemy, to cross
over the Rio Grande into the United States
There is but little room to doubt the truth
of these reports. The abandonment of
Mexico by the Republican president is
confession IF the impossbilty of main
tanning any further opposition to the new
empire, by any power representing regu-
lar government. The republic in Mexico
has never at any time been in be ter hands
than those Of Juarcz Yet its internal
peace was, even under his magis;racy, con-
stantly disturbed by the political malcon-
tents which infest that country, and the
breath of whose life is revolutionary cx>
element. Stable government is no doubt
the wish, as it is the want of the better
part Of the Mexican people. But this por
ton of the people seems to be in a sad mi
nority, as against the demagogues and
their tools. Macmillan means well and
will do all in his power to secure peace
and prosperity for the Mexicans. But it
is doubtful whether majority of the in
habitants, told by the head, are not oppos-
ed to his rule If he were not proppcl
up by foreign bayonets, it is not probable
thai his rule would last six months Such
support he cannot expect to have contin-
ucd to him in perpctuity ; and when Vt is
withdrawn, he may reasonably fear the
necessity of being compelled to retire with
it. For it is doubtful whether with q
icng continuance of this support lie could
consolidate his empire sufficiently TO justi-
fy the hope Of its standing alone

let NE give You case in this point X
gentleman from North Carolina, who was
in Washington the LIST Of August, noticed
in the morning papers of that date dis
patches dated Raleigh, y. c., July 81
As they, Ike others before sent, bascly
slandered his native State, he went to the
military superintendent Of the southern
tclegraphic department and asked him why
such false dispatches were permitted to be
sent over the lines. He was referred to
Maj. Baker, assistant secretary of war,
who informed him that no such dispatches
had come over the lines, :; it was against
orders from the department for agents or
operators to forward special or press dis
patches over the military lines. To fur
Their satisfy himself on this subject, on his
return to RaloiSh he called on Mr.. OBrien
the polite and gcntlemanly manager Of the
telegraph in this state, who insured him
that no such dispatches had been forward,
ed from the Raleigh Office
The Standard expresses its belief that
these dispatches were fabricated in Balti-
more, and disseminated to the northern
press from that point.

Fire.

Last Sunday evening at about l.
o clock the citizens Of our town were start.
led by the sharp, harsh and always terri
bic notes Of the fire alarm. The alarm
was responded to by large number of
the male, and quite number of the fe-
male denizcns of the place, whose hurried
footsteps were directed, by the bright
light, to the depot grounds of the 1T.
Wayne Railroad, where the building long
known as the Exchange was discovered
wrapped in flames. The Hook and Lad
der company were soon on the ground, but
the new Engine, owing to misunderstood
ing, and to the fact Of there being, as yet,
10 organized company in charge of it, did
not reach the scene of action until the
second story of the building was well Ugh
consumed. Owing to the advanced con-
dition Of the fire ere assistance reached
the ground, no effort was made to save the
building, but all cxcrtion made was direc-
ted to protecting djacent property, which,
with the aid of a light, favorable breeze
and rain during the preceding day,
proved entirely successful, and no farther
damage to property was done than the
destruction Of the Exchange And
could we cease our record here we mag
inc but little regret would be experienced
at the result of the fire, for the tx
change" has long been a pcstilent sore on
the body corporate of our town, bat about
the time the building was almost consum-
ed, the report spread through the assen>
bled crowd that man had been burned
to death in the conhagration, and upon
inquiry the report proved but too true
The facts, SO far as &c have been enabled
to learn them, are that Mr.. David Aiken
a citizen Of our county, had been shown
up to bed between nine aud ten O'Clock,
by Mr.. Milo Pelton. who owned the Prem
Uses, and kept drinking saloon i'll them.
Mr. Aiken in state Of INVESTIGATION. was
shown up to a room in the third story. or
garnet, and from his room the fire o.igi.
mated. Mr. Pclton states that shortly al
ter the fire was discovered he went to
Aikens's room, found the door locked
kicked it open, but that the room was fill
cd with flames, and he was unable to see,
or in any manner assist the unfortunate
victim, nor was he ever more seen until
his charle1 and nearly consumed remains
were discovered in the ashes and Goals of
the smoulderng ruins.
Various reports and rumors relative to
this unfortunate affair have been in circu-
lation since the fire. tending to create a
grave suspicion that Aiken was foully
dealt with. 4 Coroner Jury was sum-
moned, the report of which We print else
where. and forbear further comment at
present. The deceased leaves family to
sorrow at his loss.
The property destroyed was worth $500
or 5000 and WAS insured in the Goshen
Protection Company for 81, 900.

The play of the "Confcderatc's Daugh-

London theatres. General Butler appears
in it as "the tyrant Of New Orleans
makes love improperly to the Confeder-
ate's daughter, bu. is foiled by faithful
negro, who has fight with Butler and
beats him with the broadsword in square
fight. Butler afterwards undertakes to
hang the lover of the said daughter, but
he is reprieved. Butler is removed from
command and the Confederate's daughter
triumphs. The play is highly exciting.
