GREENvILLE, S. c., Oct. 21st, 1870.
Messrs. Editors AT a meeting of the
students of the Southern Baptist Theologi-
cal Seminary, held in the Seminary build
ing, at 0 o'clock A. NJ, for the purpose of
giving expression to their feelings with
regard to the death of one of their mum
Der, Rev. j. Il. Wescott, OF North Caro-
lima, on yesterday, the Goth inst, and to
evince their lively sympathy with the re-
latiyes and friends OF the deceased in this,
their great bereavement, the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimous
Iy adopted:
WHEREAS. It has pleased Almighty God, by
dark and inscrutable Providence. to remove from
our mldst our beloved brother, j. r. Wesc) tt,
of North Carolina; and whereas deem it right
to give some expression of our sorrow at his Ioss
and OF our love and esteem for his Christian
character. therefore,
Resoloed That, though the dea tn OF our Broth
er by ais own hand. III tit OF mental alteration,
has filled US with the deepest grief, and cast en-
immovable shade of gloom over our minde,
nevertheless We bow subnlissvely to the will CT
Him who doeth all things we'll.
ReSOlUed, That in the death Of Brother Wee
colt we have, as a body of students, suffered the
greatest loss, and have been compelled to part
with one whose intellectual gifts entitled him to
our highest admiration, whose generous and
loving heart drew towards him our warmest
brotherly affection, aud whose memory we will
cherish all the days Of our earthly pilgrimage.
ResolUed, That we find great consolation in the
deep aud well known piety of our Brother, which
caused him TO spend much Of his time IL exer-
cises of devotion, and which led him to the most
scrupulous consciousness in the discharge OF all
his duties.
Rescued. That We tender to his bareayed par
euts and relatives heartfelt sympathy, and
that we pray God &c give them His grace to sus-
tain them in this, their great bereavement.
Also ReSOtUed, That a copy Of these resolutions

inc nsnae,t Libel suit.

ID. 6. Bennett, a Radical Congressman
from New York, and merchant and gram
specuIator in Bufulo, lately brought suit
for libel egainst tho ComnnrcjaI Advertiser
of that city, III which the damages were
laid al 500, 600. The AdrcrtiSe1, in a
series Of boId aud punGent articles, charged
that Hon Bennett, in Lis capacity as
owner Of grain elevator in Buffalo,
speculated ia grain certificates and, still
more, that grain which went into his Gle
vator, came cut short. IN other words,
Mr.. Bennett waa Virtually charged with
appropriating the grain entrusted to him
by dealers and canal forwar3crs.
Mr.. Bennett is the leader of the Radical
party in his District and il 2 candidate for
reelection 10 Congress. He estimated the
injury done to his prospects at the nice
little sum Of 800. 600, and the inry brought
IN a verdict Ter defendant, thus virtually
sustaining the accusation made by the
AdUeytjser. The evidence IN the trial
must have sustained the assertions Of pee
ulation and fraud made by the paper, or
else the verdict TcuId have been different.
It is good joke 20 think that instead of
receiving the nice little one hundred thou
sand with which to aalye his wounded
pride the plaintiff gets nothing and
has 10 pay the costs Of the suit; but it is a
still better joke to suppose that the char
acter of q Radical politician could ever be
damaged by charges Of theft, be they
ever SO FULLY sustained.

It is stated Oh Republican authority

An eccentric Frepchman, NJ. Berchou-

the following e." AS coon as the approach
OF the enemy is s. gnalled, the administra-
ton should transport the tigers and lions
to abandoned farms, and the Prussjans,
when they came to these farms to plumber
and steal cattle, they would there find
these famished beasts ready to receive
them. Attendants disguised as Uhlans
might previously incite the beasts to fury
by beating them"

Another Fall In Gold.

Yesterday the price of gold fell to 111!,
which is the lowest point since last spring,
OF before the excitement of the European
war took it up to 1919. It's descent, which
is due to the prepayment of the November
interest by the Treasury, amounting
to about twenty-three million dollars,
which disbursement will be supplemented
by about thirty-fve million dollars more
sixty days hence, was accelerated by a
bogus cable dispatch announcing peace in
Europe. The reaction took it back to III
but the price closed finally at 1118. Unless
some remarkable contingency should trans
pire it IS evident that the winter, which is
our season of heavy exports of cotton and
produce, must witness an important stride
in the march to specie payments-which
latter cousun1mationi is devoutly wished by
every business man, from the st. Croix to
the Rio Grande.-N. 7. Herald, 26th.

FOLLOWTNG PRECEDENT.

A profigate fellow, the Rev. Horace
Cooke, who eloped from New York a
few days since with daughter of one of
his parishioners, leaving wife, but who
subsequently returned, has been allowed
to withdraw from his connection with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, under this
complimentary resolution adopted by the
Conference in session in Brooklyn, N. Y,
few days ago:
1t being understood by this Conference
that Horace Cooke, having resigned his
parchments, thereby confesses his crimi-
nal unfitness to remain in the church or
ministry; therefore
Resolved, That his request to withdraw
be granted.
This follows the Congressional prece-
dent of Whittemore, the pedlar in cadet
ships. He was allowed to resign, and
then this resolution was adopted
Resolved, That B. F. Whittemore, late
member from the First district of South
Carolina, did make appointments to the
Military Academy at West Point, and in
the Naval Academy at Annapolis, in vic
lation of law, and that such appointments
were influenced by pecuniary considera-
tons, and that his conduct in the premi-
ses has been such as to show him IN
worthy of seat in. the House of Repre-
sentalives, and is therefore condemned as
conduct unworthy of a Representative of
the people.
That is the way Radicals punish criml-
nails in their own party. If Cooke and
Whittemore had been Democrats, they
would not have been let off as easy as they

Infection in the Air.

Experimental chemists have repeatedly analysed
tccting the invisible virus which produces cpl
demic disease. They have not yet discovered it,
and scarcely any two Of them agree as to its ma
ture. This is of little consequence. 1t is sufficient
to know that this poisonous principle exists, and
that safeguard against its insidious influence has
been provided. In the spring and early summer,
when fever and ague, remittent fever, and other
periodical diseases of that class prevalent it is
only necessary to fortify the system with course
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to escape them. If
this precaution has been neglected, which it never
ought to be in any district liable such vsitations
and if the paroxysms of malarious fever have ac-
tually commenced, they may always be checked
and broken up by course of that powerful vege-
table tonic and Alternative. Quinine was once con-
sidered the only specific for chils and fevers but
il is now generally admitted that this nauseous al
kaoid is a dangerous medicine and that its secon-
Diary effects are more to be dreaded than any form
of intermittent fever. 1t is simply tremendous
astringent 1t does not touch the disordered liver
or regulate the bowels, or in any way improve the
condition of the animal fluids. HOsetter's Bitters
the other hand, in addition to being better and
safer tonic than any preparation of quinine, has
a halsamic effect upon the whole system. 1t is
aperient and antibilious well as directly inv go-
rating, and purfies the cretions well regu-
lates the secretive organs. 1t stimulates the ape
tite, strengthens the stomach, soothes the nerves
promotes heathful perspiration, and induces quiet
sleep. As stomachic it has no rival Cases of in
digestion that no other tonic capable of allie
waiting, cured in few weeks by its regular use.
