WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY {, 1870
COZ. CHARLES CLARKE, on
MISSISSIPPI.

We had the pleasure of greeting
this glorious old warrior-statesman at
the Peabody Hotel, yesterday even
ing. We were gratifed to see that
his health, which has been somewhat
impaired for several years, is greatly
improved. Governor Clarke is still
suffering from the severe wounds he
received at Baton Rouge and other
places during the late war, but he is
true game, and endures his pains
with that silent heroism which the
Spartan youth exhibited when he
permitted the fox to gnaw out his en-
trails. We earnestly hope the life
of Governor Clarke may long
be spared. The South needs
now, and will still more
require, the sage head, the wise
counsels, the experienced cultivation
and the practical grasp of intellect, OF
just such men as this favOrite SOL of
Mississippi. We regard him as one
of the most reliable men the South
possesses. All repose unlimited con
fdence in his honesty, patriotism,
fidelity, wisdom and truth. Like the
chevalier Of old, he is without fear
and above reproach, and, as such, it
rejOices us to say, he is honored
and cOnfided in by the people
the honest, intelligent masses
throughout the length and breadth
of the Southern States. Charles
Clarke is one Of the brightest
names that sparkIes in the casket Of
Southern jewels. He is a grand old
man, who bravely wears his sovereign
dignity chieftain covered with i'm
periShable l~uster, won in many bat
ties for the cause Of freedom, a man
who has garnered up in the history of
the South much of the spIendOrs of
craftsmanship, much of the vivid
charities and c~OurtesieS of the citizen,
much Of the UnsUllied features Of the
American character and all the bril-
liant dash and stole courage requisite
for the soldier and the hero. Cover
nor Clarke is on his way to Oxford,
as trustee for the University. We
wish him a pleasant visit among a
people whose idol he is.

In 1916 Congress chartered the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad Companys
from Springfield, Missouri, through
the Indian territory, Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona and Southern Cali
fornia. Alternate sections Of land
were granted for the whole length OF
the road. Better than this, there was
no reservation Of iron or coal deposits.
The Memphis and Little Rock road,
the Missouri South Pacific, from St.
Louis, and the Little Rock and Fort
Smith roads all converge upon this
Pacific line, on Canadian river, fifty
miles west of Arkansas, in the Indian
territory. Thence the road follows the
35th parallel to the Pacific coast.
Whatever the fortunes of Fremont or
the deviltries of Kellogg, Memphis
has an open route, enriched by mag
niicent land grants, to the land Of
gold. Through Missouri this road is
rapidly extended; across Arkansas it
will be completed within twelve
months; and, when finished to the
Pacific coast, the whole trade and
travel and traffic between the West
and Southeast will be drawn through
Memphis. The control of this 35th
parallel road is in the hands of the
staunchest men of New York, Boston
and st. Louis, Of whom Oliver Ames,
Andrew Pierce and F. B. Hays are
well known in this city.
However disastrous we may deem
the fortunes Of Fremont, whose con-
duet is only understood as represented
by those inimical to him, and hoWev-
er successful the Vaccinations of the
Union Pacific Company which would
deny the South direct access to the
Western ocean, we have in the Allan
tic and Pacific Company an organiza-
ton which viii surely give Memphis,
at no distant day, a direct railway
route to San Francisco. A more
southern route has been preferred,
but this Of the S5th parallel of latit-
tude makes Memphisa funnel through
which the wealth Of Southeastern
States and cities will be drawn with
force. A magnificent desti-
ny is ours. Patient, earnest devotion
to simple tasks before US is only requi-
site to the consummation of the
brightest hopes of him who has
dreamed most extravagantly of the
coming magnifcence and commercial
greatness of this city.

GREELEY has not forgotten that he
once said that a Union was not desi-
rable PINNED together with bayo-
nets" He therefore now advises
Northern people to accept the invita-
ton Of the South to invade il with
plowshares and pruning hooks. Prim
has heard Of Greeley's declaration.
and, wiser than Northern Radicalism
declares that the union of Spain and
Portugal can only be accomplished
"by the love of the two peoples, and
not by acts Of violence No bayo-
net-pinned Union for Prim. Prim Is
very precise about that; but Prim
wasn't priDas.

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERI-
AN CHURCH
Letter in Answer to 0Vertures for Union
With Other Presbyterian Bodies.

Before adjOurning sine die at Louis.
vile. on Saturday last the General
Assembly of u Southern Presbyte.
rian Church adopted a letter upon
Church Union, prepared by DIR. Pal
mer, a rough draft of which was read
as follows: 1t began by detailing the
circumstances under which the prOpO-
sitiOn came from the Northern Church
for a Conference to secure the reno
val of the obstacles between them. 1t
held that in such Conference the dele
gates f:om the Southern General As
sembly could have nothing to retraet,
that they had made no -aggressions on
the Northern brethren in any case in
a church capacity, and that the only
proper and manly course was to in
form the Northern General Assembly,
through its delegates, of the obstacles
that had been placed in the way of
such fraternal relations by the action
of the Northern church. These OBJ
staeleS were that in the union of the
Old and New Schools, now constitut-
ing the Northern General Assembly,
the Old School apostatized from Cos
pei truth, repudiating Christ's king
ship IN the church, and hence over
lures coming from them, and tender
ing as a reason for closer relationship
between Northern and Southern
brethren, the fusion of the Old
and New Schools in the North,
are to be regarded with no special
favor on that account. That while
this effects the circumstances under
which the overture for conference is
made and received, there are other
obstacles in the way. One of these is
the Erastian course of the Northern
Church in its political utterauees.
which constitute abandonment of vital
gospel truth, and in the case of the
Northern Church this is coupled with
q latitudinarianism which admits into
the church the widest differences of
belief and gravest errors of doctrine.
The Southern Church having never
made aggressiOns on the Northern
brethren, and having placed no OBJ
which the Conference could aid
in removing, is bound in Christian
honor and the cause of Christ to bear
her testimony against the sin of the
Church in her political ac-
ton, and to ask her to refract the
gross ISLANDERS with which she has
filled the world against Southern
Presbyterians. The General Assem-
bly, had instructed its Committee
Of Conference to inform the dele
gates from the Northern Church
that there was to be no fusion
and that it rested with the Northern
to remove the obstacles to
greater Christian determination than
1t present exists. The draft of the
letter expressly and strongly protested
that in the course of the General As
sembiy or rather in this action Of the
southern Presbyterian church there
Ta5 no malice, no wish to make the
lIgn.esl aggression on the Northern
oretnren, Ior many of whom they
cit warm personal regard and with
I'll whom they hoped to continue tbe
anne relations as they have To otbar
Christian denominations.

that part Of the reck through which the shaft was
to be sunk. when 1t had reached certain depth
, , small cylinder Was placed inside the original
turret, which: made the holsting Of the ballast
from below more convenient. The object was to
scoop out the centre of;the rock, producing q
cavity inside, measuring In the clear, from the
highest point to the bottom, twenty-five feet.
The space measured In the clear 140 by SO feet,
and 1t Is estimated that about 10000 cubic feet OF
stone were taken out. The shape Of the surface
Of the rock was nearly oval, but for distance Of
about 12O feet sloped very little. The stone was
porous sandstone. When struck with o ham,
mer 1t fell to pieces readily and revealed series
OF seams running through it. OF the twenty three
tons of powder used, about half was containedin IN
English ale casks, double coated, with heavy
pitch varnish inside and outside, 30 as to be
waterproof. The other half Of the powder was
in seven boiler tanks Of wrought iron, firmly
bolted, the largest measuring eight feet In length
and two In diamter. A perforated piece OF gas
pipe two and half feet in length, charged with
fine gunpowder, ran into the barrel from each
end, and piece six feet long into the boilers,
charged the same way. These different tubes
were connected with insulated electrical wires,
which passed from one barrel to another, the end
In each tube consisting Of Illuminating cartridge.
At given signal the electric spark was sent
forth, resulting in decided successes, while the
effect produced by the explosion was really grand.

classes of colored goods better, and;fhr moro
cheaply, than they can be made in New
England or Old England We can meet
Manchester on even ground, and we can
make large profit at prices which would
drive the Rhode Island mills into bankruptcy.
The action of the Convention was briefly
this: l. It was recommended that com
pany be formed for the establishment OF a
permanent line of freight and immigrant
steamships, to run between Charleston and
European port. A committee OF mer-
chants and business men was appointed
to receive subscriptions. The cost Of four
steamers will be about s800,OOO. And
it is considered certain that the capital
for one steamer can be raised at once, and
the remainder as it may be required. one
half, at least, of the capital stock is e1-
pected to be taken in Europe, and our rail-
road companies will make liberal subscrip-
tions. 2. A committee was authorized to be
appointed to give effect to the report OF the
Committee on immigration. 8. A cordial
invitation was extended to all persons, in
the Northern States and elsewhere, desirous
of settling in South Carolina. 4. 1t was
recommended that joint stock company be
formed, for the purpose of introducing Chi
nese labor where that labor can be most
prottably used' Nothing was done in re-
gard 10 cotton manufactures beyond adopt
ing the report OF that committee. That re-
port. if spread broadcast over the land, will
do the work.
The deliberations of the Convention were
quiet, and, in general harmonious. 1t did
good work; one whose effects will be felt,
we trust, throughout the whole breadth and
length of the State. But this one thing
must not be lost sight Of The action OF the
Convention will fall dead and flat, unless the
people take hold of its suggestions with o
will aad give to them all the force OF their
money, as well as their hearty support.
And, lastly, no immigration, no direct trade
can help South Carolina unless we Reform
the government OF the State. Two years
more Of the Scott administration would kill
South Carolina so dead that neither white
immigrants nor direct steamships could, in
our lifetime, raise the State into new life
of prosperity and peace.
