A FIyAHCIAL CRIsIs.-The gift concern, the

Az ExcorRAG1N@ PIcrrRE.-Mr. II. :. Bcals,
one of the teachers Of the American Mission

slaves, representing tour generations. The
picture include, the great grandmother and
other members Of the family down 10 the great
graudchild, all intently engaged in study.
This is one Of the ART presentations OF the day
which are calculated 10 throw lu>trc around
the great work being done for the negro by the
teachers Of the American Missionary AS~ocia-

Having been slaves and we'll cared for, these
negroes, of so many generations, are alive and,

"rence with our commercial operations" lie
was himself sure that the English Govern
ment, during the American civil war, had
honestly endeavored to prevent ships being
fitted out in English ports and he expected
from the Government of the United States that
they would continue honestly TO put their laws
in force and although they might not always
succeed in accomplishing their object, we
should not make that ground of national i'll
will or of an interruption of friendly rcla-
tons, and then he would not be afraid OF that
great Alabama precedent.
He said that the United States had thrown
cold water upon the proposition emanating
from the English Government that both coun-
tries should concert for the amendment of each
Of their Foreign Enlistment acts. 4" Whether
" or not IN alteration was made lie felt sure
''that they need not be afraid of any danger,
for danger only could arise from the United
States not executing their law in our favor
rs honestly as we endeayorcd to execute our
- law for them"
If commerce were the great autdOte to war,
he wished 10 see it brought TO bear against war
in the first instance, and next in favor of the
restoration of peace. There might BE- a tenn
porary depression of trade, but they might
rely upon it, when the war was over, our trad"
and resources would survive and be as vigor-
ous and elastic Is before. Our ships would
come back rs the ships Of the United States were
now reappcarng He had the utmost faith in
sound public opinion; but if public opinion
should not lead to the adoption df the present
proposal, he felt perfectly sure that England
would not be ruined, and that she would retain
to the last her national prosperity and her
national greatness.

TERED OrT."- seems that the classic region
of Rockets is not yet dead to fame and the
thirst for martial glory, and the memory OF
" departed heroes" has inspired some few
colored but ardent spirits to emulate them, If
not in purpose, at least in effect, by raising a
general and glorious row. Excitement, in grand
and magnificent style, cannot be invented TO
order, but any weary traveller in Rockets,
Yesterday ut about l. o clock, would, if he had
trus ted 10 his ears, have come TO The conclu-

that there was heavy skirmishimg along the
centre" Had the same solitary traveller
pushed on 10 the scene Of action, how disgusted
would he have been, for all the turmoil
and trouble was caused by Il fight be-

discharged negro soldier, whose sable limbs
were eucascd in broadcloth, aud whose pockets
were full of fractional currency, met Il negro

THE CENTRAL PREsBYTERIAS FAIR.-The
ladies' fair at Dr. Moores Church, i'll aid OF
the fund for rebuilding the Central Presbyte-
rian Church, destroyed in the fire of April
last, was opened yesterday evening. AS had
been anticipated, the lecture-room was hand
somely and tastefully decorated, and the diff
ferent tables were covered with elegant and
curiously- -contrved articles of use and orna-
ment, which were only less attractive than the
bright eyes of the fair ladies who had them in
charge The good things We're present in
profusion, and all the arts of christine had been
exercised to tempt the appetite of the daintest.
Upon this subject Of " good things we speak
with peculiar feeling, rs we are writing under
the influence of a waiter laden with cakes and
oranges, for which we beg to return our edito-
rial thanks to the lady presidents of the fair.
In conversation, in silence, in the ballroom,
in the parlor, ut Sunday-evening church, rs
maidens or as matrons, the ladies are always
fascinating and charming, but most winning
and pleasing when they refresh our editorial
Iabors with celestial" cake and " ecstatic''
golden fruit.
The Young gentlemen of Richmond, if they
do nothing else, are always earnest and ASST
bless them and we are sure that they will
all be willing TO delight their friends, do
good work, and pleasure their own tastes, even
at the cost of emptying their pockets. To the
Presbyterian Fair we wish an entire and
unqualified success, only regretting that it is
not in our power personally TO do more in
behalf of 50 admirable and estimable an object.
