Anti-Nebraska Congressional Convention. vWe have received letters from various parts of this Congressional District approving the proposition for an Anti-Nebraska Convention for this District. Some regard Lafayette, others Attica as the most eligible point. We care not where the Convention is held, but we trust the citizens of this District will meet, irrespective of party, and show forth their opposition to the swindle practiced upon the American people. We proposed Lafayette as the place from the fact of its central position and the Rail Road and Canal facilities for reaching it. If Attica is thought to be preferable we most cordially assent. Upon further consultation it is thought that Thursday the 24th of August will be a more suitable time for holding the Convention.

j£3T"There are some persons in our community who of late have constituted themselves as special officers to secure the observance of the Sabbath. They have no regard for the Sabbath themselves, have manifested no regard whatever, for its observance, and seem to have very slight conceptions in what that observance consists. If a man pretending to preach the Gospel advises his hearers from the pulpit to take a little whisky, to drink daily and drink moderately, they regard it as a strict observance of the Sabbath, but should another minister, (Father Austin for instance,) preach as did Paul, of Righteousness, Temperance and a judgement to come, it is heralded forth as a desecration of the Lord's day. In their estimation, to advise men to pursue a cour?e of conduct which may lead to drunkenness, degradation and want, is no violation of the Sabbath, but to advise them to abstain from drinking, or even the appearance of evil, is desecration, vile and unpardonable. These self constituted .officers will talk politics, business, ride or walk about for their own amusement, swagger and swear, do any thing their feelings dictate, but oh how wonderful how terrible is the shock to their tender consciences if Father Austin, or Elder Palmer, and Prof. Twining or any other good man

dares to advise men to abstain from the use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage. The Railroad whistle may sound Sabbath bath after Sabbath in their ears, steam vessels may move to and fro upon our western lakes and rivess, stage coaches may dash in fury on our public highways, liq- •. uor sellers may deal out their poisonous draughts, sots and drunken debauches may real and stagger and swear in our streets on Sabbath day, and not a whisper is even faintly lisped by those tender footed gentry They only regard advise to abstain from liquor, as a violation of that holy day.

JJ5PThe Jeffcrsonian wing of the £)emocracy stand firmly opposed to the Nebraska bill, and will do all in their power to secure its repeal. They are denounced by the old line, pro-slavery democracy as "Fag Enders."

AVELAND, Montgomery co., Ind., July 2d, 1854. j" MR. EDITOR :—There are two questions accompanying the discussion of Temperance that some professed Christians seem to stand in doubt of, to-ivit: 1st. Ought Ministers to engage in the discussion and 2d. If they should engage in it, should it be done on the Sabbath

I will state my course and my reasons for it, and if wrong I stand ready for correction. 1st. The cause of temperance engaged my attention in my early days, before I made a profession of religion, near 25 years ago, in Ripley county, Indiana, by seeing its sad effects on others. It was not an uncommon thing to see professors staggering from the grocery, and some of them members of my father's Church. I saw that more trouble arose from this quarter than any other and that drinking led to drunkenness, and therefore resolved that I would not touch, taste nor handle any thing that would intoxicate. I felt as if it was not only my duty to keep out of the gutter myself but to try and influence others to do so too. A short time after I made a profession of religion, and united with the Baptist Church I felt as if I was now under stronger obligations than before to engage in the cause of temperance, although I frequently spoke on the subject of temperance as well as religion. I did not commence my public ministry for five years after I made a profession of religion and when I did commence preaching, I still felt my obligation increased. I have on all occasions and under all circumstances, when I had an opportunity, lecture on the subject, and have never felt as though I was digressing from my calling as a minister by so doing.

I feel it to be my duty, not only as a citizen and a professed christian, but especially as a minister, to use all laudable means lor the purpose of carrying forward the great temperance reformation.

I am decidedly in favor of a prohibitory law* I go distinctly for the platform of the Temperance Convention of Indianapolis. Nothing short of scarck, seizure, confiscation and destruction of all liquors kept for illegal sale, will meet my views. My reasons for favoring so stringent a law are as follows 1st. I firmly believe that the use of alcoholic liquors is the greatest evil of the day. The time has been when men might drink without incuring so great an amount of guilt ("the times of the ignorance God winked at but at this time it is my candid oj)inion that no man can use it as a beverage without incuring the displeasure of heaven: nay, light has been thrown broadcast over these United States so much so that the evil effects of dram drinking is easily discovered by those who desire to see the light. I believe that all Christians, and especially Ministers of the Gospel, should raise their voices against it. If it is an evil, surely ministers should "cry aloud and spare not," thoTigh they should incur the displeasure of the m-famous J. L. Robinson, antl be stigmatised as itinerant vagabonds. Never let it be said that minisI ters are the last to use their talent and influencc on the side of temperance. The Scriptures inform us that "if the watchman see the sword coming and do not give the alarm, the blood will I require at the watchman's hand." The evils of intemperance are more than those of the sword, pestilence and famine altogether. Those evils may destroy the bodies of men, but intemperance destroys both soul and body. Intemperance fits a man for any crime—it makes a man that was made in the image of God a complete demon in human shape. It destroys all the finer sensibilities of the soul and imparts in place thereof the brutality of an Appollyon. And yet I am told that ministers should not take any strong ground against it, for fear they might injure the feelings of some of their congregation. Ministers, beware what you do

I will merely say, relative to lecturing on the Sabbath, that it is right to do good on the Sabbath day. Paul reasoned on righteousness, temperance and a judgment to come, and Felix trembled and I believe in lecturing on the Sabbath.

You may do as you think best about inserting the above in your Journal, but be surd to let your readers know that I believe not only the temperance reformation, but also that all ministers should engage in pushing forward the glorious cause, even by lecturing on the Sabbatil day, and that too in their pulpits and to their common congregations.

Yours in the cause of Temperance and Truth, P. T. PALMER.

Items from the West Indies. NEW YORK, July 6.—By an arrival at this* port we have later advices from Barbadoes, being to June 15. The cholera was still on the increase, and the deaths averaged about 400 per day. The whole number of deaths by cholera was 5,000. The shipping in port were extremely free from the disease.

Mr. Nelson, the American Consul at Turks Island, was liberated from jail on the 24th June, having paid the fine imposed upon him.

Salt was very scarce at Turks Island.

8,3TA terrible accident occurred on Wednesday morning at the deep gulf known as the Devil's Hole." A little girl about five years old, the child of a laborer employed near the spot, was playing near the top of the precipice, when she approached too near the edge and overbalanced.

For an instant she clung to the bush, but her hold gave way, and she fell a distance of 115 feet, to the bottom. WThen taken, up she was insensible, but she still lives although her recovery is very doubtful.— Cin. Gas.

Doings in Congress.

WASHINGTON, July 1.—The House took up the private calendar, and after debating on bill, adjourned until Wednesday next.

The Committee of Conference reported in favor of adjourning on the 4tli of August next. The House adopted the resolution of the Conference Committee to adjourn on the 4th of August, so both Houses will adjourn on that day.

SENATE.—Mr. Sumner presented a. memorial of 684 men of Massachusetts in favor of the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, and gave notice that on Monday he would introduce a bill to repeal that act.

Mr. Rockwell presented a petition from Lowell, praying that Military officers be not employed as superintendants of the National armories.

Mr. Bright presented a petition from 27 inspectors of customs at Baltimore, asking an increase in the wages now allowed them.

The bill allowing the exchanges of school lands in certain cases, was taken up and passed.

Mr. Clayton moved to take up the bill reported by him a few days ago, to prevent the transfer of American-owned vessels to be employed in the African slave trade.

Mr. Sumner asked if the Senator wished to push that bill to its passage to-day. Mr. Clayton—I will if I can.

Mr. Sumner—I have not been able to give the bill that consideration I should wish as it now stands it Avould need amendment, which I should feel compelled to move, and to my knowledge one Senator intends debating the bill at considerable length, I make these remarks by way of suggestion, that the bill be laid on the table for the present.

Mr. Bright reported hack the Texas creditors bill, with a substitute, which divides pro rata the one-eight pro rata of 88,000,000 among those creditors declared to be entitled to the same, by the Attorney General, in 1853.

The slave trade bill being up, Mr. Clayton moved several verbal amendments, which were agreed to. He said that there was a large foreign force on the coast of Africa, to arrest and capture slavers, and

this act would have the effect of making that force effective, for it would take away the nationality of all vessels on that coast sailing under the American flag with no other papers but sea letters at present these slavers could not be arrested by foreign vessels.

Mr. Hamlin said he would vote for the bill as it now stood, but he thought it could be made more effectual. There is no commerce between the Atlantic coast and the coast of South America and Africa, which wasn't connected w'tli the slave trade, and this bill ought to be amended so as to prohibit absolutely all trade between these countries in American vessels.

After further debate, the Senate postponed the bill until Wednesday. The report of the Conference Committee, fixing the fourth of August for adjournment was adopted.

The House bill to establish the office of Surveyor General for New Mexico, Kansas and Nebraska, and to grant donawas pass-

tions of land to settlers therein ed. A bill to vest in the several States and Territories the title in fee of the lands which have been or may be conceded to them, was passed.

Mr. Houston addressed the Senate for three hours in personal explanations of matters in controversy between himself and Commodore W. Moore, lately of the Texas navy.

Without concluding, the Senate adjourned till Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, July 5.—HOUSE The House resumed the consideration of Bennett's Land Bill, and after a speech by Mr. Bennett in reply to Mr. Disney, he moved to postpone the bill till December next.— Some conversation then ensued upon allowing Mr. Disney to reply, when Mr. Bennett withdrew his motion and moved to recommit.

The House went into committte on the General Appropriation bill, and appropriations were added for continuing the Aqueduct for supplying Washington with water and for furnishing the New Insane Asylum.

Mr. Clayton's bill, for the more effectual suppression of the slave trade in American vessels, was taken up and passed.

The veto message of the Insane Land Bill was taken up. Mr. Brodhead made a speech against the bill. Adjourned.

SENATE—Mr. Mason offered a resolution calling for the correspondence of the American Minister at Bsazil, respecting the seizure of an American vessel, and the imprisonment of American citizens by the authorities of Brazil.

The bill establishing a line of steamers between San Francisco and Shanghai via Sandwich Islands, was passed—yeas 22, nays 13.

The bill authorizing the construction of a line of telegraph between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast, was taken up.— It gives to the contractors two millions of acres of land for the construction of the line, wMch is to be completed in two years, the Government to be allowed to transmit, free of cost, 8,000 words a month stations to be kept up at each 100 miles, and the rates to be charged are double those now charged on lines in operation. The Jine is to be placed beneath the surface. The bill was postponed till to-morrow. Adjourned.

WASHINGTON, July 6.—HOUSE—The House spent all day debating the General Appropriation Bill.

SENATE—The California Telegraph Line Bill was taken up and further amended and postponed till Monday.

The Insane Land Bill was then taken up. Mr. Williams addressed the Senate in favor of the veto.

The question, "Shall this bill pass, notwithstanding the veto of the President?" was then put, and negatived—yeas 21, nays 26.

The following House bills were passed For a Military Road from Great Salt Lake City to California for the continuation of a Military Road in Oregon for the payment of the civil officers employed in the Territory of New Mexico, while under military rale abillto refund individuals money loaned to New Mexico. Adjourned.

WASHINGTON, July 8.—SENATE.—The bill providing for the construction of mili-

Mr. Clayton said if the bill was to be defeated by such means, he wanted Amer icans to know it was a bill to suj)press th.Q2!and Corruption,,' among other things the African slave trade.

itary roads in Washington and Nebraska Territories was reported and passed.. Twenty Senate and six House private bills were passed, and all others on the calendar were postponed. Adjourned.

HOUSE—The first motion in order was one to reconsider the action of the House yesterday rejecting the general appropriation bill.

Mr. Orr said he was surprised at the rejection of the bill he had no doubt it was produced by incorporating in the bill six or seven hundred thousand dollars for certain custom-houses. He was opposed to that amendment, but voted for the bill owing to the pressing public necessities. After consultation, he proposed the House should reconsider the vote rejecting the bill, and that some one who voted for the cus-tom-house appropriation should move to reconsider the vote on that, in order that it may be stricken out.

The vote adopting the Custom-house appropriations was then reconsidered— yeas 84, nays 68, when the question recurred on agreeing to amendments making an appropriation of $340,000, for the completion of Custom houses at St. Louis, Mobile, Cincinnati, Louisville, Bangor, Bath and Wilmington, and for a site in Rhode Island. Mr. Preston justified the amendment for the Western and other Custom houses and alluded to the fact that they were thrown out by the committee of Ways and Means, while New Orleans and Charleston, because they were on the Atlantic, were inserted by that committee. He moved the previous question, under the operation of which the Custom house amendment was again agreed to by 67 majority, and the bill passed—yeas 92, nays 25.

From the Lafayette Cour'er

WASHINGTON, July 1st., 18E4

MR. EDITOR :—I find in your paper of the 26th lilt., under the head of Intr

following. The continued expression of outraged sentiment by the democracy of Indiana, in relation to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, has alarmed Senators Bright and Pettit, and we learn upon reliable authority but which we are not at.liberty at present to disclose, that a propositon has been submitted by those gentlemen to Messrs. Chamberlain, Mace and Harlan, that the Nebraska bill having been passed and become the law of the land, if these gentlemen will now acquiesce in the measure as a plank in the democratic platform, they shall be again nominated and re-elected to Congress.

No proposition has been acceded to by me, nor ever will be, to acquiesce in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. My opposition was not, and is not based upon selfish political calculation, but upon conviction and principle. Others may not know, but I do, that so far as self is concerned, more could have been done for self, by voting for the bill, or acquiescing in it, than by continued opposition to it. In my opinion, acquiescence means this "I voted against the bill but am now sorry for it, and ask your forgiveness." A position like this would make me forever despise myself, and justly subject me to the contempt of all honorable men. I have never for one moment, thought of changing my course, in or out of Congress on the Ne-braska-Kansas bill.

My future course will be an active, hearty co-operation with the anti-Nebrasks, anti-Slavery extension organization, now being efficiently formed in all the free States, without any regard to former political antecedents, for the purpose of restoring the Missouri Compromise, and doing suck other things constitutionally, as will make it manifest that at least a small portion of this great Republic, in point of numbers, 'wealth and patriotism, can be found north of Mason and Dixon's Line. Should the people, the only source of power, in the coming elections, decide against the principles I have espoused, and those who act with me, then and not before, will it be time to consider the doctrine of acquiescence. Imake no terms with TRAITO RS. I hope you may have nothing but perfect harmony in your State Convention, of July 13, if so, resolves will be made by freemen, that will make slaves tremble

Mob at Ripley.

RIPLEY, Ohio, June 26.—A temperance meeting was held in the street Saturday evening near a drinking house, and during the speaking, some rotten eggs were thrown from the house at the crowd, upon which some rocks were returned, and the temperance men then rushed upon the house, and rifled it of its contents, whiskey beer, &c., which with the jugs and bottles were thrown In the street.

The mob then visited all the liquor shops in the town, and compelled the proprietors to consent to give up the traffic. In cases where any resistance was made, the houses were assaulted. Two or three were injured but none killed. The mob numbered about three hundred, including those who went to look on.

Later from Mexico—Death of Madam Sontag. NEW ORLEANS, June 26.—By the steamer Orziba, which has arrived at this jiort, we have advices from Vera Cruz to the 22d instant.

DEATH OF COL. J. S. SMITH.—The mourful task of announcing to the world, the death of this patriot, statesman and orator devolves upon us, and we only regret that space and time are so limited that we cannot do his life and services justice. He departed this life, on Tuesday morning last after an illness of several months in the 63d year of his age.

George Washington quietly rests on the banks of his own loved Potomac, and on the shores of the beautiful Oho, the hero of Tippecanoe sleeps the sleep that knows no dreaming, while far away to the sunny south amid the green bowers that cluster around the hermitage quietly reposes the proud yet noble form of Andrew Jackson. Like this trio and with some of them Col. J. Speed Smith, fought for his country's honor and raised his manly voice for his country's good he now sleeps with his fathers.—Richmond (JCy.) Messenger.

A COWARDLY ATTACK.—About one o'clock yesterday morning, while a gentleman named Reed, residing in West Washington place, near Mac-Dougal Street was passing through Washington Parade Ground, near Waverly place, he was accosted by four foreigners, who asked him whether he Avas a Protestant or a Catholic, which question he declined to answer, whereupon one of the villains struck him a violent blow, remarking at the same time, "You are a d—d Know Nonting Protestant." Another of the fellows then advanced and drew a long knife from a sheath, concealed in his bosom, and made a plunge with it at Mr. Reed, but the latter warded off the blow with his hand, receiving the blade, however, in his thumb, and causing a severe wound. Mr. Reed then loudly exclaimed, "I am stabbed! I am stabbed!" at which the ruffians supposing they had murdered their victim, took flight and ran off. This alarm probably saved his life. The persons were all stout Irishmen, and although they are still at large, the 15th Ward Police are in active scarch for them, and will probably bring them to justice.-—Neio York Times.

A SNAKE STORY.—According to the Richmond Bulletin (and it says its authority is reliable,) Mr. Wm. H. Cole, of Carline county, Va., lately killed in his field a huge black snake, and upon cutting the reptile open, found snugly stowed away in the stomach five young hares. But the most wonderful part of the story yet remains to be told. One of the hares, which must have been but recently swallowed, revived shortly after it was taken from the body of the snake, and ran away into the bushes.

Improving Fruit.

A correspondent of the Gardner's Gazette says: "I have, from observation, and a series of trials'/ ascertained that all sorts erf fruits can be raised about one-third larger than they usually are and their qualities much improved simply by supporting the fruit in the following manner:

As soon as it is fully developed, it should not be allowed to hang its weight upon its stalk, and in that way lessens the quantity of nutritious fluid flowing to the fruit.-— This may be obviated in some cases by laying the pear, apple, or whatever it may be, upon a branch, and fixing it with apiece of matter to prevent its being moved by the wind or by putting it into a small net, made for the purpose, at the same time keeping the stalk in a horizontal position, when it can be done without twisting or bending it—as the bending either accidently or by the weight of the fruit is, in my opinion, most injurious to its growth for the pores of the woody stalk are strained on the one side of the bend and compressed on the other hence the vessels through which the requisite nourishment flows, being thus partially shut up, the growth of fruit is retarded in proportion to the straining and compressing of the stalk. The fixing of the fruit also prevents the risk of its falling off and getting damaged before it reaches maturity.

I have grown dahlias upon the same principle. und with similar success, and I have no doubt that the most of flower blooms especially those Winch weighty and inclining, can be grown much larger by the system referred to, and, in short, all sorts of vegetables, trees, etc."

Jgf Our neighbor at Centreville, Ind. goes into a calculation of the expense and extent of tobacco chewing in a fashion to alarm the most inveterate tobacco-wonn. Here are his figures and results

There is a man living in sight of Centreville, who says he grinds up a solid plug of tobacco every day, measuring 3 inches by 2, and costs 5 cents per plug. This makes a little over 91 feet of the solid weed two inches wide, which is masticated by his old corn-crackers per year—the cost of which is $18.25. Each one of these plugs probaably yields at least a full pint of vile tobacco juce. Let us count this up for one year Three hundred and sixty five pints makes 42 gallons aud five pints. This would fill a large malasses barrel.Ninety-one feet of solid tobacco plug, and. a molasses barrel full of molasses gravy to pass through one man's mouth in one year And after that 91 feet has been ground up.

during the performance of the Prophet, at the Grand Opera. A disappointment in love, deafness and approaching blindness were his reasons. A woman, 81 years old plunged a knife into her heart because she had waited long enough for a natural death, and she could wait no longer. A servant suffocated herself because she was born to command and not to obey. Two girls threw themselves into the Seine, because their mother had forbidden them to put on their new govms before Sunday. These young women were both rescued and were, restored to their parents "after a severe reprimand from the commissary of police."

Jersey Blue: During the last part of our career in the Philadelphia postoffice, we became acquainted, among the mass of human beings whose faces appeared daily at the "general delivery window," where we were stationed, with an intelligent, happy looking Englishman of about 45 years of age, who came frequently to inquire for letters from home. He was a man of pleasing manners and evidently had been well educated and accustomed to the refinements and elegancies of realily good society. Being a stranger on our shores, he was glad to avail himself of an opportunity of conversing with us, and spoke freely of his past and of his hoped for future. He had come over to Philadelphia bringing with him a little son, apparently about twelve years of age, to select a residence for the rest of hie family, which he had left in England, and to make all the arrangements necessary to their comfort when they should arrive. He had accomplished this—had taken and furnish-?? ed a house in Philadelphia, and was cxpecting letters from his ivife informing him of sailing, with their other children, in the

WOMEN.—The followingpassage is from Rural Hours, by Miss Cooper, daughter of the late J. Fennimore Cooper. It beautifully expresses the sentiments of all women of pure feelings and correct principles

We American women certainly owe a debt of gratitude to our countrymen for their kindness and consideration to us generally. Gallantry may not always take a graceful form in this part of the world, and mere flattery may be worth as little elsewhere but there is aglow of generous feeling toward women in the hearts of most American men, which is highly honorable to them as a nation and individuals. In no country is the protection given to woman's helplessness more full and free in no country is the assistance she receives from the strong arm so general and no where does her weakness meet with more forbearance and consideration. Under such circumstances, it must be woman's own fault if she be not thoroughly respected also. The position accorded to her is favorable. It remains for her to fill it in a manner worthy of her own sex, gratefully, kindly, and simply unwavering fidelity of feeling and principle with patience, cheerfulness, and sweetness of temper—no unfit return to those who smooth the daily pathior her*,

SINGULAR ATTACHMENT.—Upon Colonel King's plantation, near this place, there is a certain old gander, so attached to one of the milch cows that he follows her wherever she goes. He has been seen plodding at her heels several miles Aom home, never permitting her to escape his sight. When caught and confined, lie displays the greatest uneasiness, and never ceases his squalls until lw finds the object of his devotion.— Tho cow manifests little or no attention to tie poor deluded fellow—a cruelty sufficient to break his constant heart. The gander holds no converse with the other geese, but passes them by with melancholy silence.— He has been in this state a great while. We would like to have some of the older ones express their opinion, and endeavor to explain the mystery. From some of his movements we have been led to believe that he is a strong believer in Spirit Rappings. —Mantevallo Herald.
