AN AFFEcT1NG OCCASION.

On Sunday last it was our privilege to listen to
the farewell sermon of Rev. JOHN H. ELLIOTT, ad-
dressed to the Episcopal congregation in this vii
lage For three years Mr. ELLIOTT has had charge
of Grace Church, and his ministry has borne
fruitful evidence of piety learning, and that per-
suasive eloquence which allures the sons ana
daughters of men to obey God end keep His COM
mandments Failing health compels relinquish-
ment of pastoral duties, and although but young
man. Mr.. ELLIOTT has literally worn himself down
in his Masters cause, and must of necessity seek
n restoration of wonted health. His sermon last
Sabbath was replete with fervor, faithfulness and
zeal and when, in conclusion, the sad but simple
words of farewell were uttered, there was no heart
in that congregation but ardenily desired his vel
fare and happiness. We part with MIR. ELLIOTT
in sincere regret, for in addition to bis great use
sulness in the ministry, there is no more kindler
gentleman or affahle companion.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.

The following beats all the stories OF
remarkable escapes which we remember
ever to have seen: ''On the passage of
the ship Anaxander from New Orleans To
New York, a young lad, about fourteen
years of age, from the naturally frolicsome
and mischievous disposition, became 50
troublesome in his pranks that he was
threatened by the captain, if they were
continued, that he would coafine him in a
water cask. Our youngster took no heed,
however, and, at his next offence, he was
put IN the cask, which was headed UP,
leaving a large -bung-hole for the adnis-
sion Of air. That night the ship encoun-
tered violent storm, and, in a sudden
lurch, the cask containing the boy rolled
over into the sea. Fortunately, the cask
struck bung up, and floated about thirty
hours, when it was thrown upon the
beach at St. Bias Here the boy made
desperate efforts TO extricate himself from
his prison, without success, and, in des-
pair, gave up TO die Some cows, how
ever, strolling on the beach, We're attrac-
ted TO the cask, and, in walking round ii,
one of them, it being fy-time, switched
her tail into the bung-hole, which the lad
grasped with desperate resolution. The
COW beloved, and set off for life, and af-
ter running some two hundred yards with
the cask, struck it against log on the
beach and knocked it to smash. The
boy was discovered by some fishermen on
the Point, and taken into Appalachicola,
where, a small collection being made for
him, he was enabled TO proceed on his
journey homevard.

SENATOR COWAN'S PLAN
In Che United States Senate, on Friday
last, Senator Cowan spoke as follows:

last, Senator Cowan spoke as follows:
will endeavor to answer a question
which has been often put, with an air of
brasgart triumph that indicates that an
answer is Impossible. The question is
this: SWould you bring back here into
the Ss7late Rabels and traitors, the authors
OF all our troubles, whose hands are yet
red with the blood of our slaughtered peo-
pie And If not, how do you propose to
avoid II unless you deny these States rep
resentatlon, for a time at least % To all
this | answer, No. as emphatically as
any other Senator can do but I would
keep them out in very different way
from that proposed. I would keep them
out by following the mode and seeking the
remedy afforded by the Constitution and
laws, instead of adopting course forbid
den by oath and unjust in itself. | would
punish criminals and not enslave commu-
mites. L would single out the guilty and
not confound the innocent with them. Is
not this easy? When the traitor asks for
admission here you commit him for trial,
and the offense is not bailable. | suppose
everybody will agree that would keep
him out at least until he is tried. 1t has
another advantage, too. Ii is lawful, and
none can complain of it. After the trial,
If acquitted, he is not a traitor, and his
case presents no difficulty. ii he is con-
victed, attainted, and hanged, L suppose
that would allay all fears OF his return.
Now, Mr. President, when / think how
obvious and effectual this plan would be,
| am amazed that it should have entered
into the human mind to contrive any 9TH
er. Why is it not adopted? Sir, L am
afraid TO answer. l am afraid there are
patriots who would prefer to let treason
go unwhipped rather than they should
risk their own hold on power. And, if
so, l am sorry that any man can be SO
short sighted as not to see the fatal conse-
quences of such an exchange as this.
Does 1t not say, ''1 our treason may 90 ii
you will let US rule the country 2" One
word more and am done. The country
Is alarmed, the people are anxious, and
the political atmosphere BODIES the coming
of no common storm. What can be done
TO prevent it and bring back peace to the
country, and harmony to the party? Is
there no common ground on which we
can stand? Is there no common stan
dard around which we can rally? think
there Is, sir. Surely we may 90 back to
the Constitution which we have al sworn
to support. We can go back to the laws
and enforce them without discussion
among ourselves. Then there are things
which we may avoid new measures upon
which we cannot agree, and which only
serve as wedges TO split us further and fur
ther asunder. If, however, we refuse
moderate counsel, the only remedy will be
to take the consequences, and they seldom
linger long behind the act.

STICK \ Pin HEEE.-The Washington
correspondence Of the Philadelphia Ledger,
under date of the 27th, says:
The President, last night, in response
TO the direct questions of several Congress
men, declared that he ,caS opposed to Q{I
constitutional amendments until the Southern
members lcere ia their SlntS, and so the
South can have a voice in the matter.
He said the question Of representation was
small matter and that the North could
well afford to overlook the twO-tifths ad-
vantage which the South now had, be-
cause emigration and kindred cause would
soon remedy it without legislation. If
the matter must be changed at all, he Was
in favor of making voting population the
basis. He then asked how thcv proposed
to get such an amendment through the
South. The reply was, In the same
way, AIr. President, that you got the con-
stitutional amendment abolishing slavery
through, by little Presidential pressure. "
Mr.. johnson replied that he sulc no sinli-
lal7ty 5etlceen tie tlro cases. In regard 10
