A PLEASANT PARrY.-Our CORES
pondent, "Rctlaw," writing from
Jackson's Greek, February Z, says,
ga rebellion was organized Jackson's
Creek last Friday evening against Old

little fun. Representatives were pres

cr's Creek, and were received into full
membership. They made quite an
acquisition to our not.to-be-eXcelled
fair members. At an early hour Julius
(not C@sar) put in his appearance,
and after the usual prcliminarics in
dulgcd in by all amateurs in music,
the company formed by twos, the com
mund was given, the quickstcp taken
and the march commenced in earnest.
The company appeared to he in iinc
spirits, and sparkling wit and jollity
flowed freely around the circle. Good
cheer Of various kinds was in profu-
sion. The fun was kept up till the
clarion notes Of lonely rooster
warned the party that unless they dis
pcrscd Old Sol would expose himself.
And we all went home in the morn
ing, boys,' well pleased and satisfied
that the attentive and oDliging Mr..
Kennedy, assisted by his amiable
neicc, Miss A. g., had succeeded in
making and carrying out one OF the
pleasantcst occasions of the season,
and will be the means Of saving to
South Carolina several valuable young

CORPORATION SENAToRs.-You see,
the railroads understand how Senators
are made; and instead of throwing
their money into the Congressional
districts and trying to create lower
House in their interests, they find it
much easier to make Senators. IIcre's

the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad;

The Rev. Uriel Graves thus ex-
presses his notions in the National
Issue regarding politics and religion !:
IA spirit seems to preyade both the
Church and the world, which teach
es that religion is one thing and pol
itics quite another. Of all absurd
ideas, this is the most absurd. The
religion Of Jesus Christ demands a
man to be a Christian everywhere
and under all circumstances. A man
cannot act religiously on Sunday,
and then carry out his political wish
es on Monday uninfluenced by the
same moral obligations. No man
can be religious who does not act
thoroughly conscientious politically.
And let me add here, our duty lies
not so much in the casting of ballot
on election day as in teaching politi-
cal truth throughout the whole year,
with Gods word and eternal truth as
our guide in these matters of right
and life."

A Great Change.
LOGAN.

"Bull Run" Russell beholds in
Washington city, perhaps, the most
wonderful transformation to be seen
in America. In place of muddy
avenues, with teams sticking fast In
it, and great gaps in the middle of the
city, and wide, open fields without
fences to be encountered within two
squares of the Presidents house, it is
now city of about 100000 people,
having more population than it had
during the war with the army ap
pended which filled the forts. Every
street is paved, and most of them
are paved better than the streets of
Paris. A hundred miles of shade.
trees, all grewn up since the war
have been planted in the avenues.
All the public buildings have been
finished, including the Capitol, which
was an unsightly mass during the
war, and new trees have been added
of surprising splendor. Slavery has
been gone only seventeen years and
1t has not one mourner left in all this
region of country. The Democratic
instincts Of the people, also imbibed
by the negroes, have made them quiet
and faithful citizens, who still do
nearly all the work IN the territory
surrounding the Capital, and on Sun.

A London cable special to the New
York Tribune, dated the 2lst inst,
says: "The revised version of the
New Testament, published on Tues
day, was awaited with keen interest,
and was received with almost I'M
broken chorus of disapproval. The
public are astounded at the number
and character of the changes in the
authorized text. The Bishop of
Gloucester, in presenting the work to
the Convocation, announced that in
the Gospels the changes average nine
to each Ave verses, and in the Epis
ties three changes to each verse.
Elaborate criticisms appear Ia most
of the daily papers, all condemna-
tory, and convicting the revisers OF
disregarding their pledges to intro
duce the fewest alterations possible.

A more delicious political stew
than the various factions ofthe Mary
land Democracy are now engaged in
serving up for hungry 0ffice-seekers.
has not come to our notice for many
a day. The o. l.. DPS, the Commit
tee of One Hundred and the Regulars,
all three have had hand in mixing
the ingredients. and between them
the dish has been very highly seas
oned. Yet, somehow the cooking does
not appear to be entirely to the taste
of any of them. With all Governor
Hamilton's efforts to stimulate the
appetite of Senator Whyte, the latter
seems disposed to season his stew to
suit himself, while the regulars are
evidently inclined to make the others
take it as they find it. or go without.
1t is an old saying that too many
cooks spoil the broth. and perhaps,
by the time the Democratic leaders
have come to blows, the Republicans
will be in a position TO step in and
send the quarrelsome chiefs about
their business. The confessions of
Democratic corruption so far made
by Governor Hamilton do not con-
tain anything new-although they
undoubtedly will strengthen the con-
viction on the part of those who
voted for Governor Hamilton last
year, that to secure reform they
should have cast their ballots for the
Republican candidate-but he would
hardly have entered upon his present
course unless he had been prepared
to help the rogues of his party to a
cell in the penitentiary, and we may,
therefore, hope that he will yet place
in the hands of the Republicans the
weapons with which to overcome the
Democracy of Maryland. 1t is true
that such course might occasion
serious inconvenience to some of his
confidential managers, but according
to the Governors own statement it is
reform, pure and more or less simple,
that he is contending for, and that
being the case, he will, of course, not
shrink from the duty of beheading a
few friends for the sake of Staying a
numerous enemy dIto. american.

The SATURDAY. Revie,0 complains OF
the childish pedantry of the revisers,
and describes the new version as
sadly inferior to the old one in gen
eral vigor and beauty of language.
1t predicts that it will never come
into general use. The other papers
express in similar terms regret. grief
and establishment at the revisers'
wanton disregard of the reverence
and love felt by the English people
for the existing text. saying that the
revisers may know Greek but not
English. and protesting against de-
facing the noblest monument of
English prose. 1t is understood that
an act of Parliament is required to
enforce the use of the new version
by the Established Church. The

proposing such an act. Meantime,

A semi-official explanation of the
Presidents meaning in sending back
the New York nominations is that he
wants it widely known from Buffalo
to Brooklyn that the object of his ad-
ministration is to abolish factions in
New York and to have one grand.
united, harmonious, enthusiastic Re
publican party in the state. He
thinks there is room in New York
for one Republican party, to be led
by the administration, but that there
is not room for another Republican
party, to be led by Mr.. Conkling.

A special from Dallas, Texas, to
the Republican says that the wheat
harvest has begun in that section and
that the quality is better than at any
time during the past twelve years,
The yield will average eighteen
bushels to the acre. The prospects
of all the crops are good. but the
general acreage will be smaller than
last year on account of the scarcity
of labor.
