Singing Notes on the Sabbath.

M Eltor: If it will not be too much of
an admontion, we. would desire to comuuni-
cate to the people, through your excellent pa
per, our objections to the common practice Of
singing notes on Sunday:
LIST. Learning how to sing by learning notes
requires close application and assiduous study,
which is an ordinary work therefore, must
be violation of the fourth commandment,
where God says "ye shall do no work there
in."--Lev. 23d chap V. We understand
from the sacred Scriptures, that VIC may do
any work on the Sabbath that could not have
been done Oh Saturday, nor cannot be put Off
till Monday.
Singing notes we regard as theoretical
When we meet together on the holy Sabbath,
We should when VIC sing attend tt the practi

of the saorcd and very often divincly Inspired
words. Lcarn how in the week day, and then
sing on the Sunday.

POETRY,
OVER. THE RIVER.

Over. the River they bcckon to me,
Loved .nes who've y .sscd to tho other side !;
The glcam of their snowy robes see.
Bu, their voices mr. .lost in the daslingtidc.
There's ono with r;Aglets Of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection Of .IIcavcn's own blue
iie crossed in the twilight gray and cold.
And the pale, mist hid him from mortal view
Wcsaw not the angels who met Him there,
The gates Of tho City We could not sec
Over tho River, over the River,
My brother stands ready to welcome me,
Over the River, the Boatman pale,
Carried ano.hcr-ihc household pet
Her bright curls waved in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie, | see her yeti
She crossed on her bosom her dimplcd hands,
And rcarlcssiy entered the phant II bark;
, We watched it slide from the silver sands,
{. And all our sunshine grew strangely dark
We know she is safe on tho other side,
Where All the ransomcd aud angels be;
Over the River, the mystic River,
aiy chldl,oods idols are waiting formc.
For none return from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the lIoatman, cold and pale
We hear the dip OF the golden oars,
We catch CLEAN Of the snowy sail,
And 10, they have passed from our heart
They cross tho s,rean and nrc gone for aye
We cannot sundcr tho veil apart,
That hides from vision tho gates OF day.
We only know that their harks no more
Shall sail with ours OH LIES stormy sea;
Yet somehow hope OH the unseen shore,
They watch and bcckon and wait for nc.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore;
shall one day stand by the water cold
And list to tie sound Of the Boatman's oar;
shall watch for the CLEAN Of his tlnpping sal
shall hear the boat as it gains tho strand.
I shall pass from sight with tho Bont ntu,an palo
TO the better shore Of the Spirit Land
l shall know he loved who have gone before,>
Aud joyfuv sweet will tho meeting be
When over the River tho peaceful River,
The Angel of Death shall carry Me!

lie spoke in glowing terms of the fratcrnal
effect of this enterprise; the people would
come to know each other; the iron bands
would draw them closer in affection aud mu-
tual interests, and it was most desirable to
bring the separate communities in close com.
municaton with each other, that they might
become as one people. lie said that this was
an enterprise requiring money, and all that
ne asked was that the subject should be thor
oughly investigated, and felt confident that
the result would be hattcring to the enterprise

force itself upon public attention, aud must

in this matter. She was the nearest great
mart from the seacoast, and her manufactures

portion of the people of Edgeficld and
Lexington districts met, on the 21st ultimo,
to consider the "debt question" The meet.
ing was large and enthusiastic. A committee
was appointed to prepare something for the
consideration of the meeting; whcrcupon, the
following preamble and resolutions were re-
ported and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The Courts have been thrown
open to creditors, and the debtors of the State
suddenly placed in condition of imminent
peril; and vhefcds, The prospective wide
spread ruin and Gcsolation which must surely
and inevitably result thercfrom, so terrific and
alarming to the. people, call most loudly for
them to rise up and speak in their own behalf,
as tho only means left them of averting the
direst calamity that over bcfcll any portion of
the human race; and whcreas, The debtor
classes are about to be sacrificed most unjusty
and ungcncrously for that which within itself
is no Indebtedness. BE itathcrcfore,
Resolved, That it is unwisc, in,politic, un-
reasonable and grossly subvcrsivc Of the best
Interests of the country, to maintain that the
great upheaving of property and rcvusion of
finances which the country has experienced,
a
favor Of the rights Of debtors against claims
that were prcdicated on slave property, now
swept away as by tho bosom Of destruction, all
event which neither could be forcsccn nor
avoided
Resolved, That debtors have rights as well
rs creditors, and that while the former are not
disposed 20 deprive the latter of reasonable
satisfaction for their favors in tho past they

| having their rights ignored, and justice tramp
led upon; which must inevitably be the re-
suit unless the impending evil be averted by
an organic law Of the land.
RcsolOetl, That the Chairman Of this meet
ing be. requested to appoint Commission Of
three Of our citizens, to wait upon his Excel
lcncy the Governor at an cnrly day, and urge
npon him to assemble the Legislature RS soon
as possible, to the end that measures may be
adopted to avert the ruin and distress now
threatening to fall upon u.s.
Rosolued, That our follow citizens through
out tho State be requested to cooperate with
us in urging the justice Of our cuuse.
ResotOed,. That the thanks Of this meeting
arc cminently due, and arc hereby rendered,
to the Hon. A. p. Aldrich, for his able, man
ly and independent effort on tho Bench to
stay the disasters of which wo have spoken in
