siding. The jury was impanneled, the judge
reading his Charge. after which court was ad-
iourned for reasons set forth in tie address which
we viii lay before our readers in next weeks is

Grand Jury: =
In view Of the circumstances brought to our
notice by his Honor, Judge Aldrich-thc inter,
ference Of the military authorities of the city OF
Charleston, to prevent the execution Of SEN
tence pronounced by hin-his Honor having de-
cidcd that the dignity which belongs to the Judi

4 Doctor Tournes writes letter from the
town of MaDahouah, on the Red Sea, to the edi-
tor Of the France Nedicale containing facts which
would indicate that all which has been said OF
the raVages, of the cholera in those regions, is
still far below the truth. We. give the following
extract: ..--*- -
"At Mecca, when the scourge suddenly made
its appearance, sia thousand persons died in the
space of two hours. a panic seized upon an
enormous mass of pilgrims, who fed to Djeddah.
The streets, squares, markets, all were crowded,
,era infection and famine almost. The conse-
quence was, that as fast as steamers arrived, they
were carried by assault by the brave Mussulmans
who, insspite Of their fanaticisn boarded, sword
and knife in hand, One English vessel, calculated
for 800 passengers, was obliged, to avoid the
massacre of her crew, to put to sea with $500
persons on board" = 2 :, - '--ss----'>--. g

A REVEREND BLAsPHENER-The Washington
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, under
date February 2lst, says: "The prayers, Of the
chaplain of the House, Mr.. Boynton, for the past
two days have been, cnrosities in their way; not
exactly dictationS to the Almighty, but rather
mild, insinuating suggestions and hints. Unfor-
tunately, they were not noted down by the phono-
graphic reporters, Certainly, Mr.. Boynton e1-
hibits eminent qualifications for preaching (or
Father praying) politics. With upturned eyes and
clasped hands he sent up this morning the follow
ing petition to the Throne of Grace, as nearly as
can recollect: "We thank thee, oh God, that
the great issues of the day assuming that form
that it is no longer question of this party or that
party, but of who is on the Lords side We
thank thee that Congress stands firmly united on
the right side. We thank thee that we are not as
other men; and, furthermore, we thank thee
that other men are not as We are. 'sThere is but
onessGod, and Thad. Stevens is his prophet" Just
think of Thad. Stevens being Gods Vicar on
earth, or of the Almighty being one Of the rank
and file in Radical caucus" -

Coon NEWS FROM CHARLEsToN.-The soliGitudc
of those who are interested in the old city by
the sea, have been awakened by respondent rner-
camille circulars. We have had the pleasure Of
hearing different story from one Of the. most
sagacious and reliable gentlemen Of that city,
one whose interests are identified with it., and
whose name and high official position gives
weight to his judgments wherever they: are
known. Our correspondent states that there is,
indeed, but little money in the city; but adds:
''Everything here is becoming more hopeful every
day: The planters are getting money to plant
with by giving the capitalists share of the crop.
The laborers are coming to their. senses; and
even on the sea islands, where they would not
allow white man to land month ago, they
now send for their former owners, and are enter
ing into contracts. The Presidents rero has
opened their eyes, and has done much good to
both races" -. -.
We are especially pleased to give this eminent
Il trustworthy testimony, as it furniahes an an
swer to the radical productions of the disastrous
effects that would ensue from the Presidential
action. Mr.. Johnson, knows what he is about; !;
he acts in behalf of interests with which he is ac
ouainted, and if his action is unhindered, it will
be blessing to the Southern States, and bless
ing to the whole country. The policy Of Senator
Trurlbull and General Howard would seriously
injure both.-A4gasta Transcript. = IT.. ~. <.

The CHILD OF SToNEwALL JACKsoN.-A fa;i
correspondent sendsShe Richmond (Va.) Erana-
ir,er the following delicate pen and ink portrait
of the only living scion of the late Gen. T. j,
Jackson. She is evidently in love with her sub
ject; -. ....
81 had recently the pleasure of seeing the child
of Stonewall jackson. She. is a. bright little
cherub, about three years old, with fair hair, blue
eyes, and complexion of mingled lilies and
roses-the lilies however, greatly predominating,
although, perhaps, she does not look very robust.
For the benift of curious mothers I will describe
her dress: She wore a Marie Louise blue merino
trimmed now with black velvet ribbon, edged
with white. Her little cloth cloak was Of drab
color, ornamented with bands of silk and fancy
buttons. Her hat was of English straw, trimmed
with blue velvet and white feathers. A tippet,
aud muff of ermine, completed the costume Of
the little fairy, and she looked as: any mothers
darling need look. She was borne in the arms
ofaeolosed nurse, of whom she seemed very
fond, and to whom she was pTattling with exu-
oerant gaiety. The dark eyed, sad-looking lady
who followed her, in widows cap, and gar
deepest mourning, completed the picture Of
shine and shadow"
K The daughter of Stonewall jackson, adds the
Examiner, may she live to pei stuate to future
generations the lineaf blood q immortal ia
ther.

ST. PATRIcK-The common belief that St..
Patrick, the patron Saint Of ''ould Ireland" on
the 18th Of March, (his nativity) turns over the
warm stone, signally failed on last Saturday. 1t
was the colder side instead of the warm that he
turned over, and the result unfortunately was a
cold snap, which we fear has seriously injured
the fruit crop. We have too much reverence for
his Saint-ship to censuTe him for SO great mis-
take, or impute all the blame to him. Other in
fuences may have helped to bring about this re-
suit; the Fenian interest perhaps may have had
much to do with it, and then the preparations
making all over the North for the celebration of
St. Patrick's day on a huge scale made the drink
ing of much "poteen"a necessary consequence
The natural and charitable Inference is that the
whole party had ''bricks in their hats" the night
before, and there being no moon to shed light,
it was impossible to tell which end Of the stone
to take hold Of. .- .... 49,.

| THE PULPIT AND THE STUMP.-Politics. and
preaching do not thrive together When parsons
! turn politicians and deliver stump speeches in
stead Of sermons, they cannot expect their con-
| gregatons to grow in grace Some the New
England preachers are learning this to their cost.
! The Independent publishes letter from clergy
man complaining that in Connecticut alone sew
I enty pulpits arc vacant-the reason assigned be-
! ing that in consequence of the abatement Of in
terest on the subject of religion, congregations
! cannot be induced to contribute enough for the
support of ministers. The writer says: -
! By Investigation, l find that the Congregational
clergymen in Connecticut are really being driven
! from their posts Of usefulness by want. Over
one:Sfh of all the pastors in the State were dis
missed during the past year, while only eleven
young men were ordained. In regard to sala-
ries, learn from the Minutes Of the General AS
sociation that three pastors have no pay; one
has $l0O; one, 5000; one, $500; nine have
I S400 thirty-three, $500 one hundred and four,
$4,000 forty, $t5o6; sixteen, $1,000; four, $50
800 And three, $500 year: That the average
sum paid to ministers in Windham County is
1858; in Tolland County, S72S; Middlesex
County, 1915; New London County, S84S Ltch-
field County, $3.50; Fairfield County, $l044 !;
Hartford County, s1O64 New Haven County,
$Tl27. .-...
When we consider the present cost Of living,
we ask-Gan our clergymen support and endq-
cate their families on these salaries? They do
not. Many are in debt, in want, in distress, and
feel obliged oftentimes to resign and undertake
some of the many other fields of labor, whereby
they can bring support to their families. r.
The New York World adds:
- From what we hear from other Sta tes, we pre-
sumo that there must be some three hundred Va
cant pulpiis in New England, while there are
probably some five bundled more where the par
sons make barley enough tokeep soul and body
together. The same lack of interest and absti-
nence from church-going and church-support
is noticeable all over the North, especially where
the influence of New England thought prevail.
