Aid for the South.

We copy the following article from
the New York Journal Of Commerce OF
the 9th inst. Our people will we'll re-
member the honored and worthy Rec
tor of st. James Church of this Town.
We have known him we'll and favora-
bly, for more than twenty years, and
can but wish him God-speed in his I'M
dertaking. We know it is one long
cherished by him and hope tbathe may,
at last, meet with success. The Indus
trial farm school is located in our Par
ish about fourteen miles from our
Town:
The following extract from letter
addressed by the Rev. Mr.. Mccoy, at
present in charge of st. Marks Church,
Brooklyn, to gentleman in Louisiana,
May LIST, will be of interest to those
persons who have already been appris-
ed of Mr.. McCoy's intention to estab-
lish an industrial school farm in one of
the most destitute regions of the South.
This long cherished plan, which he
has been obliged to postpone on &C
count of sickness, he now proposes to
carry out at Halloway's Prairie, La.
He writes:
"To-morrow I intend to send two
young men to my farm on Holloway.s
Prairie, one of whom holds or is expec-
ted to hold my full power Of attorney.
There will be such an industrial farm,
school gathered and heldas l have con-
templated for SO many years. As get
the means the industrial arts will be
taught on the farm, and in shops and
manufactures, and all will be in school
rooms FIVE days of the week from II A.
NJ. to 2. P. NJ. Taught and trained in
books. take that place (my farm on
Holloway's Prairie,) because it is so
far from negro plantation, which might
corrupt the boys and young men. I
send out supplies of clothing which are
to be given to the destitute to begin
with, and a full country store is to fol-
low, where goods will be bartered for
wood, live stock, and whatever can be
turned into money. / think Of having
q branch store at Pineville. / hope in
these ways, by Gods blessing, to help
the fallen, and give them away to help
themselves. / am in favor of helping
with charity the aged and the young,
who are unable to work. st. Paul, by
the Holy Ghost, says ''He that will not
work, neither shall he eat" This
means black and white folks, if I un-
derstand it. My plans and labors for
the present are for whites. hope
some time to be able to do something
for industrious blacks, not thing for
those who continue lazy. I hope, God
willing, to spend two or three months
of each winter, while I live, among you

Washburne-D onnelly Affair,
EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN THE HOUSE.

For some days past the telegraph has
been full of the alteration between Messrs.
Washburne and Donnelly, Radical men,
bers Of the present Congress. The follow
ing, which we take from the special WASH
ington dispatch ofthe St. Louis Democrat,
will give our readers some idea Of the diff
Guilty and the bitter personalities which
which were INDUCED in in the House on
the I'd inst. As announced by telegraph,
the committee Of investigation alluded to
has been appointed:
An extraordinary scene occurred this
afternoon in the House, after the return
from the Senate chamber. On the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Stanberry's argument Mr.. Don
nelly, of Minnesota, rose to personal ex-
planation, and sent to the Clerks desk a
letter signed by Elihu B. Washburne,
published in the St. Paul Press, to which
he then proceeded to reply in speech Of
over an hours length. This speech and
Washburne's reply were certainly the most
violent ever heard in Congress, within the
memory of any of its present members.
Wasbburne's letter refers to complaint
made by Donnelly against him for object
ing to the Introduction of some bills, and
in reply to this, accusing Donnelly Of We
nality and corruption /; denounces him as
having run away from Philadelphia to es-
cape criminal charges, having changed his
name, and turned up as on office-beggar in
Minnesota, and makes other serious accu-
sations against him, and is throughout
quite bitter and severe in its tone.
Mr.. Donnelly began by saving that the
letter thus written by fellow member Of
this House concerning him, and published
in an influential paper in his district con-
tanned no less than twenty-seven distinct
and separate falsehoods. In these he pro-
ceeded to reply in order. He read the re-
cords concerning the bills in dispute, pro-
duced certificates from Postmaster King Of
the House and others as to bis action, de,
MED the charges concerning his antece-
dents, and read a letter from Mr.. Brewster,
of Philadelphia, under whom he had stud
led law, as to his career in that city and
the circumstances Of his leaving It. In
this manner he went over and replied to

THE quotation for -four in the Unions
market report, is 40 cents too low, and its
market report generally is unreliable. If
you want reliable paper for markets, news,
and everything else, take the ARGUS, pa
per which everybody ought to read. Our
eastern markets published in the evening
are the same published by the Union the
following morning. You can get the eastern
markets IL hours earlier in the ARGUS than
in the Union. This is very important, and
grain, stock and produce dealers who take
the ARGUS have an advantage over those
who only take the Union.
