WASHINGTON May 8. Senate Hammond, Benjamin, Hale and Wilson delivered eulogies on is every where active in the church, and its powerful numbers and influence, not to speak of the incalculable services which it has rendered the cause of religion, are ample testimony to its acceptability to Him who has ordained it. We say with these evidences of its power it specially devolves upon its overseers to give the active and aggressive spirit with which it is animated the proper direction to so use its energies that they may accomplish the greatest amount of good, and redound a brighter glory on the church militant. It has been a reproach to this church that it was laggard upon the subject of an educated ministry, and a proper appreciation of the.benefits of extensive educational schemes that zeal and fervor were made to take the place of an enlightened and rational preaching of the word.

It becomes a church so influential in its work and connections no longer to rest under this, for all we know, unjust imputation. It should no longer con FROM KANSAS. ADAMS NOMINATED FOR GOVERKOR THE FULL STATE TICKET. Special Deipatchio the Cincinnati.Qasette. Topeka, Kansas, April 30.

From the Lawrence Republican, April 29. Skirmish on the Mahmaton, in Kansas. Our readers are aware of the troubles which have been existing in Bourbon county during nearly all ofthe last six months. Forbearance having ceased to be a virtue, the Free State men rose killed one pro-slavery man and drove the more obnoxious ones out of the settlement. On the Marmaton a similar state of feeling has prevailed.

Last Wednesday week a small company of Free State boys were retaliating, by giving notice to some obnoxious pro-slavery men who had been implicated in the troubles, to leave. The company had passed on up the river. Meantime, some of the pro-slavery men hastened to Fort Scott, and rallied Marshal Little, with a posse of THE NEWS. Health Pkospkcts in the Sooth. There appears to be a general apprehension felt at the South, that the present high waters will breed an abundant crop of febrile diseases in the Southern cities.

By the breaking of the leveee, nearly, 6 fourth of the lands on the Mississippi from Vicksburg'down to the mouth, has been overflowed. Freshets also have occurred in the interior of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, and, indeed, all the swamps bayous and lagoons at the South are gorged with sluggish, stagnant water. The Southern cities were fortunate in escaping entirely from visits of the yellow fever last year; but, we fear, that pestilence will make its appearance in the Gulf towns, the coming summer and fall, with somewhat of the virulence which characterized it at Norfolk.

cloth. In the following pages it is proposed to present an outline of what may be called the incidental attractions of the Bible to set forth its claims, both as a classic and as a book of general education. Regarded simply as a book of learn-ing, of taste and genius, of history and eloquence, it haa exerted an influence which cannot be too highly estimated, and commends itself to every cultivated understanding. It is the book of cur learning, not leas than our religion; the basis of our civilization, not less our It has moulded into sbape, it has quickened into life, the whole body of our secular tearing, as well as oar theology; it has breathed its own vital spirit into all our science, literature, legislation, philosophy, and social and political institutions. It is these attractions, which may be feH and appreciated even by the irreligious and worldly minded, which we propose to group together in one distinct and connected view.

Our object will be to speak of the Book of God as a production of inspired genius and classic taste; to reveal something of its immeasurable wealth, as a field of knowledge and a mine of wisdom, a model of eloquence, a master piece of posey, a text book of instruction; and thus to render it, so faras we shall be able, attractive to all. fS?

S. i. BOSKETS. BANG, WAIKEE tSunday, May 9, 1858. GENERAL CONFERENCE EDUCATIONAL.

The following-extract, is taken from the quadrennial address of the Board of Bishops of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, now in session at the Capitol, in this city: '''The subject of education presents claims to your consideration, as an agency for good, second ori3y to the preaching of the gospel; and, in-deedj it is intimately interwoven with the successful performance of that great work. The children of the church mnst and will be educated, at least to a very large extent. As the national prosperity of the country advances, the desire to educate the youth of the country will increase; and this desire is pervading all classes of the community. Not only the rich, but thousands of those in the humbler walks of life feel its influence. It should be the business of the church to foster this spirit, and give it a proper christian direction.

Knowledge is power, either for good or evil, and is a blessiug or a curse, just as it is consecrated to God, and brought under the spirit and grace of God, or otherwise; and it is certainly the policy of the church to wrest this power from the hands of, Satan, and so direct it as to make it a glorious agency for promoting truth and working out the world's salvation. We believe there is an increasing conviction in favor of denominational schools, as belt calculated to promote the cause of sacred, sanctified learning in connection with scriptural and earnest Christianity. This cause has, we believe, been steadily rising in Its influence throughout the church since our last meeting. Not only are old institutions still living and accomplishing great good, but a large number of new institutions have sprung into being, both for male and female education." Though of the secular press, and not competent to advise in the economical polity of a great and wide spread religious denomination, we must be permitted to express our gratification at the sentiments above, originating from the eminent and influential source which they do. VVe are especially gratified that the important subject alluded to has received such favorable notice from the distinguished authors of this address men venerable from their years and long labors, and illustrious for ability and fervor of their ministrations in the great cause to which they have devoted their lives; and that under their sanction and direction, the great Con-gres? of the Church is invited to deliberate upon and devise means for its promotion and extension.

Certainly no matter of graver moment can occupy their attention. It can require no argument to satisfy any mind that education and enlightenment, general and scientific, as well'as'theological, is the handmaid and efficient helpmeet of religion and the spread of gospel truth; and that ecclesiastical organization is derelict in its high mission which undervalues, or from any cause neglects to avail itself of all proper resources in its reach, to advance and sustain its interests. It is alike the duty and the interest of all churches to foster and encourage liberal schemes of education in all its departments, from the highest to the lowest. Their success temporally, as organizations, is in a high degree involved in intellectual progress; and the efficient agency which it wields in disseminating and expounding the great principles of Christianity demands their attention to it as a powerful engine for good. In a liberal view of the question, the Divine command "Go ye unto all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature," is something more than the story of the cross the redemption and the meditation of the Savior.

It contemplates an elevation of the human race from the vassalage of ignorance as well as of sin an unloosening of the shackles of mental as well as moral degradation. an erection of the image of God into its full and ultimate stature of intellectual and spiritual perfection. And nowhere does the gospel of Christianity succeed in its great work, unless accompanied by more or less enlightenment. It is the proudest boast of its devotees that it courts investigation and scrutiny, and not only challenges the conflict of the wise and learned with its simple truths and God-like teachings, but, burning with the wisdom of its divine emanation, first confounds, and then convinces them. It indeed has no fear of the light, and simply asks its favor; for only under the light can the complete measure of its beauty and majestic truth be appreciated.

Other systems of belief flourish only beneath the dark and baleful shadovrof ignorance and superstition. Under the sun of intelligence, they wither into decline, and are speedily cut down as "cum-berers of the ground," and are supplanted by the Tree of Life, perennial and eternal. Then if the Christian religion be so deeply indebted to education and the spread of learning, is not that Church culpable which does not exert its every energy to its universal spread? It should be indeed the vanguard of the gospel army, preparing the way for the triumphal march of the church in its warfare upon all sin and ungodliness. That church which fails to put the proper estimate upon general education as a potential auxiliary in its work, is narrow-minded and contracted in its operations, and in so far fails in the high office which it assumes. With these views of the subject we hail the interest manifested by the Episcopacy of this great and powerful denomination as the harbinger of an increased- interest, and more zealous exertion in its behalf.

We (without invidious reference to other denominations,) that it specially behooves the Methodist church to employ no little of its power in the cause of education. Without pretending to argue the advantages or defects of its system, or contrasting it favorably or unfavorably with others, it certainly possesses, to our mind, in an eminent degree, some of the essential elements and characteristics of the early Apostolic church. It displaysra its aggressiveness upon sin and the domain of the devil, the spirit and zeal of those commissioned by the Master himself taking bold position upon the farthest outposts, and pioneering every moment for the extension of the borders of Zion. Its ministry are among the earliest in every new field of labor, and are zealous in the race to outstrip all others for the glory of the first effort in behalf of the cause.

April 16. sent to be regarded as the mere forerunner of more learned and polished. organizations its institutions to give place after a whfleTSiy systems wmcn patronize more liberally edu-cation and learning, and share more largely of their favors. Its duty to itself to the Gospel to the country and government un der whose genial institutions it has waxed' strong and great, demand that henceforth it shall equip its self-sacrificing army of prose-, lyters with every weapon in the armory, offensive and defensive, placing in one hand the Bible, and in the other the torch of education, mingling the mild and peaceful rays of the Gospel with the broad and steady beams of enlightenment. When the results of this generous and judicious poljpy shall aggrandise to the church, then will the glory of Methodism appear such as every well-wisher of Christianity, of whatever creed, or sect, or clime, would have it.

Effectually to serve the cause of education, the church should, wherever it is practicable, inaugurate a general system of endowment of institutions of every grade, from first class Universities to primary schools and should encourage by its patronage every effort to found such institutions. No care bestowed, or interest manifested in such projects, will be misplaced. The beneficent results of this policy will be universal upon every branch of christian work and add immeasurably to the usefulness of the church. As true southern men we earnestly hope the Southern church will immediately rouse itself to the importance of this work, and vindicate by the liberality of its course, the cause of Southern education and emancipate its sec tion from its condition of dependency to the North. Let this session of its general legislature make a vigorous effort in this behalf, and justify its separation from the Northern branch, by taking high position upon this question, and no longer continue tributary to that portion of the confederacy which, and, it must be confessed, has so far taken precedence of it in this regard.

Let it vindicate by an enlarged and judicious system of encourage ment the equality, at least, if not the superiority, of Southern intellect. The Educational Institute of the church at its session in this city a year ago, gave its attention to this subject, ana proposed the erection of a great Central University of the Church, contemplating to make it an institu tion which should rival the most perfect and successful colleges in the Northern States. The Episcopacy of the Episcopal Church have also manifested a laudable spirit in the promotion of this vast enterprise of Southern education. The late Legislature of Tennessee granted broad and ample charters, both to the applicants of the Methodist Educational Institute, and to the Bishops of the other denomination and it remains for their respective churches now to come forward, and encourage by their patronage, at least, if not their endowment, their founding and final success. We have heretofore advocated with earnestness the latter project, and with like zeal we urge that the project of the Educational Institute should be met and liberally patronized by its church.

Nashville has been the point selected for the site of this great emporium of learning, and we but speak, we believe, the unanimous desire of its citizens that this should be its seat. If the church shall lend the influence of its name and patronage to the undertaking, it will doubtless be received as an earnest of its success, and will meet at the hands of its population that sympathy and material encouragement which will secure its permanent establishment. We understand that one of the departments of the University the Medical has been committed to vigorous hands, and those who have it in charge have already, at considerable cost, taken measures to establish it, and propose going into operation during the present year. By private outlay, they have purchased a valuable and eligible property and intend to equip it in a style which shall rank it with the most favored schools in the land. A corps of Professors have been en gaged, in every respect qualified and competent, and the institution bids fair to commence its career under the most flattering auspices.

We earnestly trust that it will meet with the success which it deserves, and that under the fostering cave of the church a like spirit shall establish and infuse life into the Literary and Law departments. A Riot iT Quebec. At Quebec, a few nights since, the City Hall was the scene of a disgracefu 1 riot. The council held a special meeting to consider a proposal to increase taxes on immoveable estate. The acting Mayor had taken the precaution to assemble the police force, and to require a picket of troops to be under arms.

About dusk a crowd of upwards of five hundred men and boys collected about the City Hall, and soon began to be turbulent So soon as the strangers' gallery was full, the police, who were drawn across the entry, and had orders to admit no more of the crowd, shut tbe door upon them. They thus kept back the mob, who smashed every pane of glass about the door, and felled the police with stones, The constables being uu-abla to quell the disturbance, the military were called out After some delay a detachment of the 39th Regiment, which were kept at a short distance from the Hall, came up they halted inront of the building. The magistrate proceeded to read the riot act, and the mob speedily dispersed. Several persons have been injured and thirty of the police much cut about the head. night last the barn and corn-crib of our fellow citiH zen, W.

They discovered the Free State boys about two miles off on the prairie, and immediately made for them. The boys meanwhile fell back and made a stand near the river their number being reduced to some eight or ten. The dragoons came on under full charge. When they had approached to within a few hundred feet the boys called out to them to halt, which command was not heeded. The order to halt was again repeated, with like result.

The little band of heroes then poured a volley from Sharpe's rifles into the assailants. One dragoon tell dead the captain was wounded, his horse shot, and some of the dragoons were wounded and horses shot. At this unexpected reception the gallant dragoons fired, wheeled and fled, until they got beyond gunshot, when they held a council of war, sent back to the Free State Convention for a physician to attend the wounded, and despatched a messenger to the fort for reinforcements. The doctor came and attended the wounded. A new lot of dragoons also came on from the fort.

Meanwhile, the Free State boys had crossed the river and were out of sight The reinforcements having arrived, another council of war was held and it was finally determiued to fall back upon the fort, which was accomplished in good order. At the time our informant left, Friday morning last, nothing further had been done, and no further trouble was anticipated. Affray. An affray occurred about two o'clock yesterday afternoon at the house of E. Wolfe, on Main street, just above Adams, with which Mr.

F. Charles, the German theatre manager, his lady, and Messrs E. Wolfe and Charles Reiman, were connected. It seems that the difficulty grew out of a pecuniary transaction between Mr. Charles and Mr.

Wolfe, Mr. C. having leased a suite of rooms from Mr. Wolfe. Mr.

W. had become dissatisfied with the transaction, and attempted to eject his teanant. During the excitement Mr. Charles went from the room for some purpose, and when he returned found Wolfe in the act of assaulting Mrs. Charles, Mr.

C. immediately drew a pistol and fired upon his wife's adversary, the ball lodged in the region of Wolfe's breeches pocket upon some silver coins, which circumstance, doubtless, prevented the infliction of a serious wound. Charles Reiman also interfered in Wolfe's behalf. The whole party were arraigned before the Recorder yesterday afternoon, when Wolfe and Reiman were fined $5 each and Charles was required to pay a fine of $25. We are informed that the case is not yet concluded, but that Wolfe has been arrested upon the charge of assaulting Mrs.

Charles, and that he will be examined for that offense this morning. Memphis Ava-laiifihe, 6th. ARREST AND CONVICTION.

Verily, he is a rude chap. He was tried this morning, convicted and sentenced to four years imprisonment in the peni-tentiary. Dalian. (Oa.) Times, 5th. THE GREAT HOLLAND REMEDY- B(ERH AY E'S -HOLLAND BITTERS.

May 7 dAwlw. OBITUARY. Mrs. SABRA BICKNELL PARSONS (by birth Watson) died at her residence in Cambridge, on the 27th of January last. She was born on the 24th of January, IStO, in Barrington, R.

I Her father was the settled minister of that town; and her grandfather was one of the very few persons who have lived in three centuries, having been boro in 169S, and died in he was interested in the doctrines of the church when quite young; but perhaps did not fully i eceive them until about the time of her marriage to the late William Parsons, which took ijlace in September, 1839. She joined the church in Boston, with her husband, on the 6th of July, 1S45. A marked trait in tr character of this most estimable and lovely woman waB extraordinary sweetness of temper, and a disposition to prefer others to herself at all times and under all circumstances. No one was ever more free from all the common forms of selfishness; no one was evermore constantly and unreservedly devoted to the well-being of others; and no one more anxious to discharge every point of dutywhich the various relations oflife presented to her. She inherited a natural goodness, which, while it won for her the affections of all around her, might well have de-e eived her into the belief that she was good enough.

But she knew the truth too well; and always, and, most of all, in Utter years of life, was most anxious to submit herself to the regenerating influences of the Lord, and to co-ope-ate with all the means and influences by which her Father would revive a new heart within her. Her mental characteristics were in singular harmony with her personal demeanor. The terms "gentleness and peace" are exactly applicable to her appearance. Uncommonly bright, intelligent, and well-informed, she was conversant with the artificial distinctions of social life; while her character was marked by modesty, simplicity, and truthfulness. She was literally the delight of the social circle; and possessed, in a remarkable degree, that rare quality io this age, of being a ffood listener, which is always combined with the ability to draw from others their best thoughts, without the appearance of effort or of constraint.

At the same time, there was in her sphere a power to repress any thing that was harsh, uncharitable, or rude. he was as firm as she v. as gentle; and, in tbe most difficult and trying circumstances of liie, never seemed to fail in what wvs, perhaps, her leading characteristic, "The steadfast quiet natural to a mind Of composition gentle and sedate." She was naturally very fearful of death, and circumstances in early life had deepened this terror; and she often expressed her apprehensions, that, when death came, it would bring with it fear and distress. But nothing of the kind occurred. She was aware of failing health for some months, and, for a few days knew that there was fatal disease oi the heart; that her departure was at ha jd, and that she was indeed dying.

But her peace was unbroken. Through the dark valley she passed with such total absence of fear, or excitement of an kind, that the calm and perfect trust of her own mind was diffused through the house; and the children and the friends who saw her die could hardly grieve while she was passing so peacefully onward to a world of lasting peace.

It appears from the subjoined advertisement, which we copy from an old Boston newspaper, that cigars first came into fashion about the year 1760: "Brought from Havana, a box of cigars, a very rare article!

The Moulton Democrat has a notice of a public meeting which was to take place on the 3d inst. in that place, "for the purpose of putting on foot measures for the acquisition of Cuba by the Government of the United States, or its emancipation from Spanish misruled" The meeting was called at the request of sundry citizens. The "Fan" Question Outdone.

The Churchman, New York, used to edify us not a little, during the dog days, with its "pitching iuto" the ladies for using their fans during Divine service. Over in England, we see, they are "pitching into" a Bishop for wearing gloves. Our informant says "A keen controversy is raging in some of the English church papers, relative to the sort of gloves which it is lawful and expedient for a bishop to wear. It appears that at a religious meeting, over which the Earl of Shaftsbury presided, the right reverend prelate stood upon the platform wearing a pair of bright yellow riding gloves, a circumstance which seems to have scandalized some of the rigid discliplinarians present." The bishop here referrrd to, it may do no harm to say, is the Bishop of London an "Evangelical" of the straitest sect, and commonly known among the high churchmen as "one of Lord Palmerston'a Bishops." The Manchester (N. American is informed by a citizen of Lawrence, that the stagnation of business and dearth of employment in that place are greater than in any manufacturing town in New England.

Twelve months ago the population of the city was reckoned at 15,000. By the first of May it will not exceed 10,000. The writer adds: "Hundreds are leaving for California, and as many more for Minnesota and the West. Lo the Poor Indian. The Columbia Mirrior says an Indian mound on the farm of Mr.

M. C. Partee, some six or seven miles Northwest of Columbia, was dug into a few days since, and the skeletons of four of the ancient red men of the forest were made to revisit the glimpses of the moon. One of them had evidently been buried in a standing position, which was probably intended to show that he was a man of standing with his tribe during life. At the head and foot of each skeleton were found masses of lead ore, weighing from seven to fifteen pounds, which were also indicative of the public character of the living Indian the lump at the head indicating that he was a leader in the councils of the nation, and the one at the foot that he led in the chase.

This ore, for a specimen of which we are indebted to our friend Mr. R. G. Par-tee, is very rich, judging from weight and appearance. The question arises, where did it originally come from that is a lead-'mg question.

Fifty Mile Race. The Detroit Free Press says an agreement has been entered into between Edgar Belden, of Detroit, and George Efner, of Buffalo, by the terms of which a match of $500 on a Bide is made between the Belden horse and a horse which Mr. Efner is to produce. The race is to a single stretch of fifty miles, the horse first accomplishing the distance winning the money. $250 forfeit money has been put up, and is now in the hands of the stake-holders.

The race will take place in the early part of June, on the Hamtramck course, Detroit, which is a circular, one mile in circumference, the horses continuing around the course until the fiftieth mile is accomplishe d.

Huntsville 5th. There's many a slip 'Twixt the cup and the lip. week we chronicled the marriage of Mr. Samuel D. Mangrufn and Miss Paralee Daniels of this county.

Well, it turns out that the young gentleman, like a great many others in these days, was quite too fast. It requires always three persons to make a valid marriage, viz: the State through the County Clerk, the man and woman. Mr. Mangrum had the consent of the two parties first named, as the record fully testify, but unluckily for him, he forgot to secure of the lady. She therefore pleads that the transaction was, as to her, ret inter alois, and refuses to be bound by it.

We don't see what Mr. Mangrum will do with his license, unless he should take it to practice medicine upon. FranTclin Review, 6th. A Protectorate for Mexico. A letter from Vera Cruz of a late date says There is much talk, too, of an American protectorate.

Indeed, that idea appears to be gradually growing upon the enlightened public mind. The writer adds: I close this hasty sketch of affairs by giving it as my deliberate conviction that this country will never have peace without foreign intervention.
