The request was granted, and the approval of Presbytery endorsed on the call aud signed by the Moderator. J. G. Monfort, P. Porta, and Robert Hamilton, were appointed to organize a church at Versailles, ir the way be open, and D. M. Stewart, F.P. Monfort, and II. D. D'nwiddie, at Centreville. J.C. King, L. D. Potter, F. Monfort, and W. Pelan, were appointed to preach one Sabbath each in the Commissioner's pulpit, during his absence at the General Assembly. Mt. Carmel was selected as the place, and the first Tuesday orSeptember next at 2 o'clock, P. M , as the time, for the next stated meeting f Presbytery. The following was addresseh in auswer to an overture from the Session of Sand Creek, uamely, "Every member of the church is bound to contribute his proportion in the support of the gospel, and io attend to the word and cr!iuauees, unless providentially prevented; and a failure to support the gospel, and a neglect of ihe communion, on the ground lhat the members f evangelical denominations, wlie sustain a christian character, are admitted to the Lord's Table, are sufficient causes of ceusnre, if peristed in after proper instruction and admonition. Churches that have failed to raise collections for lhe Board of Missions during the last year, were requested immediately to aid this object. J. G. Monfort, D. M. Stewart, J.C King, A. R. Forsyth, and D. Patterson, were appointed a committee to investigate and report at the next staled meeting in reference to the establishment of a Presbyterial Academy. J. G. MONFORT, Stated Clerk. P.

chusetts, 1 in Rhode Island, 1 in Delaware, 6 stands, there is a strong probability that thv Whigs wil! lose 1 in Maryland, 2 in Virginia, 1 in Mississippi, and 2 in Indiana. In return, Ihey will gain probably, 2 in Kentucky, and 1 in Louisiana. If they do, they will lose 3 in the aggregate, which will give them 114 members, the Democrats 116, and the Independents 10.

This is a close calculation; but it needs uo prophecy to know, that it will come out very near the truth. Let the Whigs look to ill They have it in their power, by active exertions, in Virginia, Kentucky , Louisiana, and Indiana, to return a decided majority of the House of Repaeseutatives. Will they do it? It would be a most singular, aad absurd result, to elect Gen. Taylor to the Presidency, aud surround him with a Congress hostile to his Administration! It would be a mockery of the!

Foor houseless wretches who "eat the bitter bread of penu ry, and drink the baleful enp of misery;" the winter winds blow keenly through your "looped and windowed raggedness;" your children wander about unshod, unclothed, and nntended; I wonder not that they sigh. But why should they, who are surrounded by every thing that heart can wish, or Imagination can conceive the very crumbs that fall from whose table of prosperity might feed hundreds why should they sigh amid their profusion aud splendor T They have broken the bond that should connect power with usefulness, and opulence with misery. That is the reason. They have taken up their treasures, and wandered away into a forbidden world of their own, far from the sympa thies of suffering humanity; and the heavy night dews are descending upon their splendid revels, and the all gladdening light of heavenly beneficence is exchanged for th sickly glare of selfish enjoyment and happiness: the blessed angel that hovers over generous deeds and heroic virtue, has fled away from the world of false gaiety and fashionable exclusion.

"I am the same F "You are the same F'said he. ," said she, "well you ean't stay in my hocse, you must go." "But my good madam, see how lute it is, and lam very much fatigued." "I can't help it I won't encourage such doings as you are carrying ou start as quick as possible." "But madam to turn me away now would be cruel where shall I stny to-night?" "Don't know, but I cant keep you here so Its no use of talking." Finding that he could effect nothing by expostulation, the preacher berhaiis thiukiug the lady might form an exceptiou to t'lis genera) rnle, mounted his horse, and rode till he came to a house whose owners were uotsoscrupnlons. About a year afterwards he was travelling in the same region, and rode up to the house from which he had been so unceremoniously ejected. On this occasion he was determined before dismounting to ascertain whether he would be permitted to stay. The landlady came out at his call and immediately recognized him. Madam can you accommodate me with lodgings to-uighl?" said he. "You are F , the I'niversalist preach er, are you not?" "Yes madam, but I have changed my opinions somewhat since I saw you, on investigating the matter more carefully; I have come to the conclusion that just one hundred and fortv foor thousand will be lost." The landlady assumed a thoughtful attitude, then suddeuly raising her head, she said: "Well I reckon you may cine iu tint's better than nothing."
