To the Hon. John Q. adams, Boston, Moss:
DEAR SIR: We have tho honor to make
an appeal to you in behalf of our common
country. We earnestly beg that you will
consent to visit US at Columbia and deliv-
er an address to our people. we assure
you that within three days wo could have
an assemblage of ten thousand people
present to hear the words of peace ad-
dressed by Boston to Columbia. What
strongerreply could there be to the mis-
representations of the Radicals, than to
hear "John,Q Quincy Adams talk Of the
Union and tho traternal relations on tho
soil of South Carolina?
Would,,it not be as if the past were
speaking to the present.? Would it not
seem as if the grave had given up her
dead, and tfoy were holding counsel of
the future2
1t seems to us that your visit here, re-
ceived as it would be by our people, would
send an electric thrill from one end of the
country to the other. Weask no holiday
performance for political OF party effect.
Wo invite you to consultation upon liv-
ing principles of our free Institutions.
With US it is no longer a question of par
ty, but aquestion of social life.
Whom the South was beaten in the fold
it became her high resolve to restore and
strengthen, the Union. Must not every
sane man soc that this was her only poll
.cy? that the Union is now of the very
last Importance 10 the South-more i'm
portant-than TO any part of the country ?
Must not every sane man also seq that
in the very nature of things slavery is
dead forover? Has not every Southern
State put her name and soal to the deed /?
But beyond this, did not every Southern
statesman sec that with the result Of the
war slavery could not stand 2 That it
must cease to bo q domestic institution,
because it had become an international
ESQ TO speak) cause of war.
Arc there no statesmen left among
those in power who can SEQ this? Or do
they see it and are they basoly using tho
hopes, tho peace, The very life of the
country to advance personal or party in
terests?
Let US hope.that God, in his wisdom,
may turn the hearts of those who know
the right, yet pursue the wrong, and
strike the scales from the eyes Of others,
who are roally in the darkness Of igno-
rance. land therefore easily tho dupes Of
their better informed leaders.
Pray answer us Immediately and ap-
point an early day for your visit here.
We shall require but short noticcto make
the necessary arrangements to wolcomo
you in becoming manner.
The policy Of The South is peace-it is
her only hope. You will SEQ this with
your eyes and hear it with your ears
should you accept our invitation. If you
would telegraph to us your acceptance
We could bo ready 10 moot you by the
9TH Of October Wednesday, tho 7th,
would probably be better day.
Very respectfully,
Your follow citizens,

EXTENSIVE WHEAT FARMING IN MIME
soTA.-The St. Paul Press has the follow.
ing:
The plan of investing largely in the
wheat lands Of this Sta;e, which are sold
cheap, and of the opening Of immense farms,
seems to be in genuine favor with our heavy
capitalists. We have already alluded to
different farms of this kind, such as the
Dalrymple farm, Cottage Grove, Marshall,
and Donaldson's farm, near Austin, and j..
Wilson Paxton's large farm, near Redwood
Falls.
Commodore William F. Davidson, in
whose Judgment regarding profitable invest
ment6 considerable reliance is placed by
this community, has recently made pur-
chase on what is known as the Sioux Reser-
vation, in Redwood county. He has entered
1900 acres Of excellent wheat lands, and
next year he contemplates breaking extern
slvely on this tract preparatory to raising
wheat the following year. The land Is but
& lew miles from the Minnesota river; by
which route his grain would be shipped to
mar ket, and the supplies of the farm be
received.
These lands are reported to be as fine
wheat lands as there are in the State, and
at no distant day will be almost upon the
line Of contemplated railroads"

The trial of Rev. John P. Hubbard, of
Westerly, R. l., charged with violating a
general canon of the Episcopal Church in
the procuring and making use of the SER
vices of person not minister of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church is progressing in
Providence. The trial was ordered by
Bishop Clark, of the Diocese of Rhode
Island. Hon. Charles S. Bradley and John

the prosecutors, and Hon. B. F. Thurston,
of Providence, and Rev. John Cotton Smith,

A dangerous counterfeit ive-dollar Urea
sury note is in circulation in Boston. The
easiest mode of detection is by the green
ornamental engraving lengthwise across
the middle of the bill, which in the coun-
terfeit is of paler color, and consequently
has a brighter look than the dark green OF
the original. Seen under the microscope
the engraving of the counterfeit is coarser
than the original, and there are some mis-
placements or omissions, but to the naked
eye it presents genuine appearance.

Der T.-On the I'd instant Mr.. Josiah
Beeghly, in company with his son Michael
and three of his daughters, together with a
young lady, Miss Jane Boyer, were en-.
gagged in picking berries on the mountain
side, and had been pursuing their labors
during the morning, filling their baskets
with the fresh fruit, when towards noon
their attention was directed to the loud
barking of the dog who had been bearing
them company, and who had suddenly dis
appeared in the thickness of the surround
ing forest. Mr.. Beeghly, being anxious to
know what was the cause Of so much noise,
sent his 'son into the woods to ascertain. He
had not been gone long before his cries to
his father to hasten to his assistance soon
brought that gentleman to the scene, where
he found the young man standing close to
large rock, beating about him with vigor,
and on getting closer, found that he had
killed three large rattlesnekes. It being
evident that the rock was their place of
concealment, and being determined to ascer-
tain whether any more lurked about, they
soon, by the aid of their united strength,
succeeded in displacing large boulder,
when, to their great establishment, the den
of these poisonous reptiles was found, filled
with its hideous occupants. Procuring a
pole, they soon went to work and killed
three more large snakes of the same species,
and finally reached nest containing forty
eight young ones, the smallest measuring
one foot in length. They succeeded in deci-
mating the whole family after being en-
gagged in the war for about an hour.-Cor-

GOLD IN CHINA.-A rich gold-feld has
been redisccvered in the neighborhood Of
Chefoo, in the north of China. Large guam
titles of gold have been found within q few
inches Of the surface, and deeper digging
reveals more abundant and purer veins of
the same metal. During the Sung and
Yuen dynasties (950-136S) these diggings
were regularly but imperfectly worked !;
but since the latter date the authorities
have, as in other parts Of China, considered
it necessary for the preservation Of peace
in the district that the working should be
closed. Now, however, the natives have
recommended digging, and thousands of Can
tonese who have served their apprentice
ships in California mines are rushing to
the spot. Already report declares that there
are 10000 Cinnamon at work, who openly
defy the authorities, and declare their in
tention Of turning rebels if interfered with.
The whole neighhorhood seems to be rich
in metal. Silver has been found near MIN
ghae-chow and Tengchowfoo, and asbestos
has been discovered in two places not far
from Chefoo. The existence of lead and
coal in the vicinity is also said to have
been satisfactorily proved.

INTEREST on THE STATE DEBT OF NoRTH
CARoLINA.--The following letter to gem
,leman of Washington will be agreeable to
holders of North Carolina bonds
"RALEIGH, N. c., August 81, 1868.
"Dear Sir,-To yours Of the 9th instant
| reply with pride and pleasure that our
Legislature has provided by a tax bill, now
in process of collection, to carry out the late
law for the payment Of interest on the State
debt in October, 1868, and January, 1869.
al regard the payment of the interest to
fall due on those days as certain; also, all
that may fall due thereafter, at any dates.
There will be no evasion or reputation OF
payment by North Carolina unless the
United States shall set the example, which
| trus, and believe they will never do.
"Your advice to your friends has been
sound. We see in North Carolina--as, in
deed, the whole Union appears to be-a
state of high political excitement; but If
the elections shall be conducted with tole-
rable fairness it will, have no doubt, let
the steam off harmlessly.

BIRTH AND BAPTISM OF PRESIDENT MAD1-

President Of the United States:
"My wife delivered of a son on Tuesday

4 SINGULAR CASE.-An interesting MUIR
der trial is to take place at Riverhead, Long
Island, during the present session of the
Suffolk County Court. Eighteen years ago
a German peder, who had been disposing OF
his wares in the vicinity of Patchogue, sud
denly disappeared, and all trace Of him
Was lost. Last spring portions of u human
skeleton were found in the woods near that
place, and an investigation established the
fact that they were the remains of the mis-
sing pedlcr. Some circumstances con-
nected with the disappearance Of the man,
and the finding of his remains, led to the
arrest of William McGregor, Of Patchogue,
and he is now to be tried for murder. The
case excites considerable interest on Long
Island, as the prisoner is we'll known. II
will be an astonishing thing if sutiicicn,
evidence be found at this late day to con-
Wet him of the crime with which he il
charged.
