A PIenteous IInrrest.


from various sections of the country,
whatever may be local or compara-
lively trivial casualties, we must be-
lieve that the aggregate yield of
breadstuffs throughout the country
will be largely in excess of the crops
of former years. furnishing surplus
above what is needed for consump-
ton. From MI the heavy grain
growing regions, the newspaper ac-
counts are favorable, and there is
reason 10 believe that. whatever else
may happen, the supplies of food
will be ample and abundant for the
next year.
AS the Boston Post suggests, that
almost Certain prospect of abundant
crops of all kinds is direct interpo-
sition of Providence in our favor,
for which our gratitude cannot be too
sincere. Scarcely anything less would
have served to save rs from the finan-
cial, weakness and political disinte-
grafton which would have been immi-
nent, as the inevitable sequence of
funwise and headlong legislation.
We are thus brought face to face
with the simple fact, that everything
rests on our material prosperity, and
nothing at all on the slight and varia-
BILE schemes of party leaders. If the
people of this country can produce
more than is sufficient for their cur
rent wants by their honest industry,
so that we may consider ourselves
strong beyond the power of ambi-
tious partizans to rule our destinies,
we may continue to believe, under
favor of Heaven, that nothing but our
own act is able to -overturn the
foundations of our national stability.
We may, and ought, on this blessed
Sabbath morning, thank Heaven for
this pledge of restoration to wealth
and power among the nations of the
earth, and accept it as the renewal of
long lease of national pros perity
and happiness. TO the Divine Giver
of all good, then, let us return onr
grateful thanks for the plenty that
covers the land from one end Of the
country to the other. At the same
time, let us invoke Him to give wis
dom, grace, and 4 kind spirit, to the
legislators of both sections, that the
equal distribution of His gifts may
not be impeded or marred by passion,
hatred or i'll feci ag, and realize, as
people, that "b., ssed is the nation
whose God is the Lord" SO
New MILITARY PosT. We find the
following Washington telegram, in
the New Herald, of the oath:
TIE State Districts OF Sumter and
Clarendon, S. c., heretofore en-
braced in the military posts of Co
lumbia and Darlington, have been
constituted military post, to be
known as the military post of Sumter,
under tho command of Major Lyman
Bissell, Twenty-ninth United States
Infantry, headquarters at Sumter, S.
G. Company G., Twenty-ninth In
fantry, is designated as the garrison.
The papers from different portions
of the country announce unusually
warm weathcr. In Atlanta, on Tues
day, the mercury knocked the top
out of the thermometer, and Mt 10 on
Wednesday, was travelling rapidly in
the same direction. Ninety-four in
the shade was the point reached
Tuesday evening.

The FUTURE OF CorroN.-A com.
mercial firm received letter from
a Manchester Eng. correspond ent;
who gives the following conclusions
in reference to the future supply OF
cotton: .,zss@ ~
MANoHEsrER, Eng June, 1857
1t appears to me that We are entering
upon "a new state of affairs, which
must be taken into account.
l.. The immense losses of the last
two seasons have caused those that
still stand up to be more cautious,
and have completely used up the
wild spectators and their special
supporters (the several banks) on
both sides of the water.
2. The supply Of the raw material
is larger than was at first expected.
3. The probability that there is
now on this side fair prospect of
$500, 900 for next year.
4. The substitution of woolen and
linen goods in lieu Of cotton, which
it will take some time to change
again.
5. The general impression that
cotton, as we'll as everything, is too
high and must come down in price
before consumption can attain its
former proportions. N,
GOLD DIaa1Na.-We learn that
considerable excitement with regard
to gold digging exists in the neigh
borhood of the 'Little Mountain, 4"
about six or seven miles below the
village, and the fever seems to be
extending fast through this commu-
nifty. Some very rich specimens of
gold ore have been obtained from
lands owned by Mrs. Wilson of
Greenwood, and very thorough ex-
plorations are now being made into
their mineral resources, under the
supervision of Mr.. Cloud, an expe-
rienced and competent metallurgist.

It seems we were slightly in error,
in our statement. yesterday. with re-
ference to the death of son of Mr..
Hamburg, of this city-it was his
nephew, lad of about thirteen years
of age, named VIM. Handren, whose
father and mother are dead, and
who had been living with his uncle
for six years. The accident occurred
near Bamberg, on the South Carroll
na Railroad. 1t appears that work
man who had been engaged on q
building near the track, had left n
ladder leaning against the building;
as the cars passed, the unfortunate
youth leaned forward, and struck his
head against the ladder, causing him
to fall from the train, one car run
ming over his hand. But on exami-
nation, it was found that death had
been caused by the blow from the
ladder. The body was sent to vii
mington. Il. c., for interment hear
the parents of the lad.

BARBADOS
Mutual Life Assurance Society.
ESTABLISHED IN 1910. s
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL ACT 1861
CHIEF OFFICE:
No. 90, HIGH STREET, BRlDGEToWN, BARBADOs.

EdHIS Society, which confines its busi-
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident Id the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. Its scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate To provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
cient to create large surpluses, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 81 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows

AN HONORABLE RECORD.-A

ferred to below is undoubtedly the
most reliable that can be obtained
here, says:
81 was Commonwealth Attor-
ney of the city of Richmond for
twenty-one years, and in that long
interval | prosecuted only three
Jews, and two of them were most
honorably acquitted, there being
not particle of evidence to sus-
tain the charges. During my
fourteen years Of service as amag-
istrate, only one Jew was before
me for trial and he was acquitted.
In all that long interval | do not
remember ever having received
an application for public charity
from any individual of any sex or
any age belonging to that faith,
Aud, so far as | am aware, no jew
ish child has ever received even
the benefits of our free schools,
for which their parents, without q
murmur, pay their taxes"

The Grand Army Humbug

AS is usual in the history of
secret societies, somebody who
Joined the humbug known as the
Grand Army of the Republic, has
become disgusted with its base
ness, and exposed its ridiculous
mysteries. The character of the
institution may be learned from
the following resolution, which
was passed in one of the ''Posts:"
"ResoIoed, That this encamp-
ment of the - Battalion, G. A. R.,
hereafter will in nowise whatever
encourage the professions or trades
of men who are Democrats, and
do all they can to discourage their
business, and at all times throw
their influence with the order or
the members of the Union party"
The grip of that society is to
lock the small fingers; the pass
word is "McPherson," and the
.'hailing sign" is ''handle, tear and
charge cartridge" The real pur-
pose of the organisation is to control
nominations and elections, and
yet those lately officers in the Fed
eral armies fat places in the civil
service, at the expense of the
pudneons! !-CoLunabus Crisis.

Letter from an old Tele-
graph Operator.

The Cincinnati (Ohio) Com.
) mercial publishes the following
letter. The fact to which it calls
attention is curious:
GAS a matter of interest to
your readers who notice the wealth
er reports from the West, / will
state that in my experience as a
telegraph operator for the past
eighteen years, | havenoticed that
nine out of every ten changes in
weather come from the West. /
first noticed this while in Balti-
more. Oyster dealers in Cincin-
natl advised their correspondents
in Baltimore of any change in the
weather at Cincinnati. In eight
cen hours afterward we would ex-
perience the same change at Bal:
timore.
"During three years service in
the Baltimore telegraph office, I
noticed that but one storm came
in any other direction than from
the West, and that was the day af-
ter the great battle of Gen. Nc
Clellan before Richmond. The
greatest and fiercest storm of wind
and rain | ever experienced came
direct from the South; and upon
the hypothesis, at that time going
the rounds of the press, that a
great storm follows great battle,
| concluded that Mcclellan and
Lees artillery had something to
do in sending us that storm.
"Slnce coming to Cincinnati I
have noticed that all changes in
the weather are first felt at st.
Louis. Twelve hours afterward
we experience the same change
here"

Gamblers in Convention

An exchange gives the follow
ing account of a Convention held
at Chicago:
A strange convention was held
in Chicago in 1850. 1t was that
of the gamblers of the United
States, in which every State was
represented. Although gather
ing of ''hard cases." morally, the
appearance of the delegates is de-
scribed as having been highly re-
spectacle. The Chicago Demo
crat said of them: ga finer set of
men we have never seen than
they are, taken upon the average.
They are ali fat and well, very
well dressed, with jewelry in
abundance; and some of them are
said to be what their looks indicate.
men of talent"
Two important matters came
up before the convention; one was
the revision of the old rules and
the adoption of new ones for the
various games. 1t was found
that those rules were construed
differently in different States, and
that several lives had been lost in
broils arising from this difference
in their Interpretation. Uniform
ity of construction was demanded
by all the delegates. The subject
of discussion was the non-inter-
ference Of professional gamblers
in politics, which led to a very
warm debate, and was finally laid
upon the table.

LOOK AHEAD.

When sorrow comes within Thy breast,
To crowd from there sweet thoughts of res
Then cast thine eyes
To future skies,
And hope that you may there be blest.
Let not thy spirit tumble down,
But face the world without frown,
Fight brave thy way,
And futures day
Will wreathe for thee blissful crown.
Cast all thy willing thoughts aside,
Which downward push thy spirits pride,
Cheer up instead,
And look ahead,
Then hope will lead thee as guide.
Yes, be man in bliss or woe,
No difference how the world may go,
Let not u tear
Of strife or fear
Pressed out by grief, thy bitter foe.
