This class of diseases is the Great Scourge
ofthc western hemisphere. Go where we
may, their sad effects are seen and felt. The
brave and self denying settler who presses his
way to the west, to make 'the wilderuets bud
ami blossom us the rose,' meeto this dreadful
evil. He is willing to work hard and endure
every privation, thanks be to him. But in a
little while he is seized with sowe form of bil
ious disease. His strength now is weakness.
A cloud comes over his prospects, and he ex
claims, "would that there were some medicine
to rn'ewnt this dreadful evil, nd to cure it

JCJ We owe an apology to the author of
the following communication, for deferring its
publication two weeks. Other matter which,
if not published at the moment, would lose all
interest to the reader, has crowded upon us, and
thus it is that '' "am Tater" makes his debut
in the twilight of the day. His strictures, how
ever, have lost none of their piquancy or force
by being a little antiquated.
1IE33R9. Editor . prmit ma to np
penr in your coltitni: li the purpose of
maliittga few remarks i, live. to un nrti
clo published in the Easvjin Uluriou of the
17th ftlt.
It seems to have been the object of tl.u
nnthor to direct the public mind from the
force of the Rev. P. II. Napier's nrtru
ments relative to the onti repiililicun char
ncter ofthe M. E. Church. It is not my
intention to say ought drainst the M. E.
Church or its nwmheis; hut I wish lo
correct some mistakes which this anony
mous uuthor has endeavored to practice
upon the public mine!.
The manner m which the Rev. Mr.
Napier has endeavored to prove the anli
repuWicati character of that church, has
been cr.lmly and respectfully, with his
name n(Iiv.od lo eaeh of his articles ; nnd
it were only reasonable to suppose that he
would have been responded to in like manner.-
But this irrave subject has been at
tempted to be disposed of through a ludic
rous article over nn anonymous name. I
have no doubt that the members of that
Church g-nerally will disnpprohale Itio
course; ntid I presume thai the Ilev. P.
U. Napier would hardly condescend lo
reply to Mr. Scantntor: hut I, being ra
the a dealer in small matters, proceed to
offer a few thoughts by way of reply; nt
the same lime doubling the fact of its re.
ceiving the approbation of Ilev. P. H. Na
pier, or the members of the Church of
which he is a minister. Marvellous soev
er ns it may oppenr, Mr. Scantator has
been so deeply engaged in rending Latin
poetry, that he has never found time, dn
ring his creat and wonderful hfe, to read
thediscipline of his own favorite church ;
because no man that had ever read the
discipline of that Church would be at nil
likely to venture the assertion that "the
tni.wstTS, presiding elders and bishops
are takwt. from among the members of the
Church, in the same manner that the of
ficers of our government are from among
the peitple." Now if this assertion be cor
rect, Mr. S will certainly refer us to th
paie in the Discipline where it says, the
ministers, presiding ddera nnd bishops
shall be th cted by the joint mffrages of
members ofthc church. But Mr. S.secms
o contradict the assertiou himself, by say
ing lh.it " if the manner of election is dif
ferent, both carry out the same principle."
This is, also, incorrrct. To construct our
State poven.ment, so ns !o carry out the
principle of the government that Mr.
Scantator would have list to think; is just
as Democratic as our State government,
our laws would have to be se constructed
as to allow nil the rCicers of the State to
vote at the elections, and not allow the
people to vote at all. 1 thiuk that if Mr.
S. does not refer ns to the la cf the
church, authorizing each and ev-ry mem
ber to have a free and equal suffrage in
the election cf all their officer, it will te
seen that he has betrayed his ignorance in
trying to coliahten aa intelligent tv m nu
llity on sutj-Kt that he knew Qcihmg
about himself.
There is not another intelligent mem
ber of tfce church in Jasper county, in my
humble opinion, who wool i Tenure t' -
nie as rtbn. Mr. S sy t't "it U
not the exercise of the power, tut t'
rr.annercf acquiring tte power th i -rrs

ot Democracy) and though he usurp all
lhe powers of government, and rule the
nation with a rod of iron the government
would still be a republic. Such assertions
ore ridiculous. Mr. S. says, again, that
'in all governments not republican, the
exercise of power is hereditary ; and with
out this, the notion of a monarchy or aris
tocracy is absiiid." This is an awful mis
take for au individual who undertakes to
enlighten the public mind. Mr. Scanta
tor should consnlt'the dictionary, nnd fL'st
take the mote out of his own eye. That
all governments are hereditary except re
publics, is a mistake that nny school-boy
can correct who has ever learned the ele
ments of Geogiaphy ; for nil geographi
cal authors explain Absolute monarchies,
Limited monarchies, Hereditary Monarch
ies and Aristocracies.
,lThe mighty astounding facts," fcc,
"conveyed to the eyes and ears of a won
dering world" are simply this, that the
ministers and bishops of the Aetiiodist
Episcopal Church have more weight in its
councils than the same number of the lai
ty." How it is llifit aiijPniau in his sober
senses, and after having read the. Rev. P.M.
Napier's articles, could have corne to such
a, conclusion ns this, is indeed strange to
imagine, when, in fact, nil that is necessa
ry to prove the government of the M. E.
Church n;ili lepublican, is lo show that
the laity havo not an equal voice in elect
ing their ministers and bishops.
Just give the laity an equal voice in
choosing those ministers and bishops, and
make theni amenable to their cousiiiuents
and you have a republic, notwithstanding
otic of those ministers or bishops may
have more weight in the councils of lhe
church than a thousand of the laity. This
is what Mr. Napier has been laboring to
prove that the tail y in the M- E. Church
have not ; and, consequently, itis nnti
republican. "The mighty and astound
ing fact conveyed to the eyes and ears of
a wondering world" is simply this, that
" the shortsightedness and fallacy of the
arguments advanced by our friend Mr.
Napier," is not only unexposed, but nnre
plied to. I, nnd rny friend, Mr. Scantator,
are both .no theologians ; so far from it,
that we are not even of lhe ministry, nnd,
I fear, not good tneuiher3 of the Church.
How we happened to be so much alike in
these particulars, I cannot tell. Dot there
is at least one thing to be fuarvd that the
inaniMW in whiclr SoauUiAiejs rud'avor
ed to ridicule the Itev. P. II Napier's arti
cles, by making false issues, nsseriing
false definitions to the difleient kinds of
government, and raising othit false issues,
though ignoranlly.will be laughed toscoru
by all intelligent men-

GOOD FOR BUFFALO.
BY 0IIN BROWN.
In one of the companies of the 1st regiment
of U. S. Dragoons, there once happened to be
thrown a recruit whose fond parents, bearing
the name of Jackson, had given hirn the Chris
tian name of Andrew a name, in this case,
extremely mal . appropos. This fellow was
drilled with others, and drilled alone, but the
task of instruction seemed nearly a hopeless
one. Dismounted, if ordered to start with the
- left foot, he invariably put forth the right, and
it was more than hinted that he could not tell
the one from the other.
"And, curse him!" said the sergeant, one day
out of patience, "he don't know his legs, and,
has not sense enough to nark them!"
In the mounted drill he was the same. At
a command ''to tho riht," ho was just as like
ly to turn to the wrong as to the right side. As
lo mounting a horse according to the manual,
he saw no use whatever in that; and provided
he could climb up by the cantel of the saddle,
was perfectly satisfied.
In truth, Jacksoa was very stupid. He could
hardly be taugiit to keep his arms and accou
trements in order, and could never execute the
first movement ofthe sabre exercise without
the most ludicrous blunders, and if mounted,
danger of cutting off his horse's head or ears.
Altogether, after he had been two years in
service, he'was put dowa by every body as ab
solutely "good for nothing" a worthless ap
pendage to the corps; tor tic naa even oeen ti leu
on vaiious kinds of extra duty, and failed in all.
The captain had marked Jackson he regar
ded him as an anomaly not exactly an idiot,
yet seeming so very near one that the dividing
line was hardly perceptible. He can never bj
fit for anything, thougiil the captain, and he
iTiudiuted the discharge of the impracticable
dult, as a "nuisance to tho service."
A strict drill officer, thecaptain required
every mm to do his duty. When Jackson
was on drill, the captain's order to march gen
erally ran as follows:
"Column, forwardl Corporal West, give
that man a kick lo start him march!"
Corporal West, accustomed to this duty,
usually by a kick properly dealt, had given
Jackson an impetus forward, by the time the
command "marchl" fell from the captain.
Jackson had, as lime flew, been three years
in the comp my, when a march to the prairies
wis ordered. In the range of that animal near
the Arkansas, it became on object with the
coinin uvd to procure a supply of buffalo meat,
and every day detiils of men were made for
lhat purpose.
The captain bhnself, on one occasion, thirs
ting for sport, went out with the hunters. They
hiiJ bin out some three or four hours, when
Jackson, his hor.e nearly at fullspeid, and his
carbine unslung, was dashing past the captain
towards a herd buffjlo at some distance across
the plain.
"Stop, sir, stop!" commanded the captain.
Jackson instantly reined up. So far ns he
knew how, he had learned to obey the first
lesson of a soldier. The captain was inclined
to bo religious, but now he was betrayed by
excitement into lhe use of naughty language,
"Wlntthe devil are you doing here?" hedc
manlfd fiercely.
"Hauling buffalo, sir."
'Hunting buflMo? l-nation! Who told
you to hunt buflalo? W hat business have you
on the plains?"
"The sergeant rMiiled me as a hnter, sir."
The d. vil h-i di lf, Well, the sergeant's a
d d fool," continued tiie captain, growing
warmer and worse betrayed. What can yon
d ) hen? Do you ever ex'pect to kill a btfilo.'"
he asked, almost with a sneer.
"I've done so, sir, this morning," replied
the soldier, tmiching his cap.
"Whall You've killed a buffalo? Take
care, sir don't lie lo me take care! The
thing's imposnble!" ... .
"Indeed, Captain, ii'strue. I'vo killed three,
nJ have a ihree months' calf tied to the l-g
ofthe last on-."
I it possible?"
"Yes, sir; anJ I'd have killed one of those
four just back in the last hollow, if jroit hadn't
lole up and tcarti thtm amay"
The captain was more lhan astonished he
was thunderstruck. The stupid, worthless
sidjier, supdenly appecrtd in a new light.
His gnsus hid pcejM:d out he was develop
ed. "Well, well," replied the captain, "go a
head go ahead kill ill you can; I'm fil-d
you can da it; you're for $omelhigVv
divoteiel t by mere accident; but every man,

SHORT PATENT SERMON. ;
BY DOW, Jr.
My text this morning is as follows :
There is a voice which haunts me stiJI, -Where'er
on earth I be
In lonely vale, on lofty hill;
And on the distant sea :
I hear it in the silent night,
And at the break of morn, - , -
And aye it crieth dark or light '
. Man was not made to mourn.
My hearers what d you suppose this
small voice is, that haunts me wherever I
go excepting1 it be through some of the
mudholes of misery of Gotham ? Why it
is Nature whispering with a calm smilu
upon her phiz, that man was not mode to
mourn, notwithstanding the Dard of
Ploughshare's sentiments on the subject.
No brethren, man was made to laugh, love,
enjoy himself; nnd dig potatoes, to the glo
ry of his Creator. Yet how many lazy,
mildewed mortals there are, who sit down
iu the shade of melancholy to mourn over
misfortunes of their own breeding!
There they sit, and sit, looking at all that
is bright and lovely with a yellow, jaundi
ced vision, determined within themselves
on being forever miserably: and as for
enticing them into the habits of industry '
with the promise of a happy com'pensation
you might as soon think of getting a barrel
of old cider to work by placing a dollar at
the hung hole. Mourn they must mourn
they will; and this too in a country
like ours ! wheru there is so much elbow
room for ambition where all a man has
to do is to take courage and a shovel, and
dig his way to wealth and honor; nnd
where by the aid of faith and a few Irish
mut), such almighty big mountains can tu
moved ! Oh! it is a sin and a shnmo that
man should mourn, where there noth
ing under the curtain of heaven to prevenf
his laughing, singing, dancing, and being
as merry ns a cricket in the chimney cor- .
ner!
My friends all nature proclaims that
nothing was made to mourn. The bright
faced sun the calm silver moon ; and tho
glittering stars all sing together of this
grand truth in one unceasing song, and
"echoing earth answerslo theirsweel strains.
If the world were intended for a house of
mourning, every flower would be painted f
black every bird would be a crow or
black bird every body would be bom a
negro the ocean would be a vast ink pot ; .
a black veil would be drawn over the face
of heaven and an everlasting string of (
crape hung a round th borders of creation.
When I look abroad and see how bright
and cheerful is the general aspect of things;
how Earth exults in her joyous spring
time ; how glorious in the pride of her
summerhood ; and how calmly, smilingly
beautiful in her autumnal decay; I am
bound to the conclusion, thut nothing upon
God's green cushioned footstool was ever
intended to mourn. It is natural for us
sometimes to indulge in dull, mush and
milky meditation, and to encourage cold
and blood curdling fancies, or listen fear
fully to the tread of some harbinger of
evil, whose footsteps fall with a rustling
sound among our scared flowers, of hope,
like those of the angel of Death amor
the frost faded leaves of November ; but I
do assort, from the nether extremity of my
heart, that man vas no more made to go
prowling nnd mourningthrough the world,
than a Canary bird was created to sing at
a Methodist meeting.
My dear friends, it is "man's inhumani
ty lo mat.', and man's inhumanity to him
self, that causes so much mourning. Tho (
dreadful carnage of war causes thousands
to mourn the loss cf sires, sons, relatives
and friends who immolate themselves up
on their country's altar, but whose valiant
ffyes are worth more thau all the weak!. ,
in the mines of Mexico. Millions groaa
unJer the iron hand of oppression, and as
mjy more under the incubus of laziness,
who mourn and sigh to think that dollar .
don't roll at their fet-, and that lhe sun ot
prosperity won't shine in their dark den of
sluggishness. Lit war be avoided as far
as possible palsied to the oppressor's arm
and fleabesK-geJ be he, Isay, who is too
lazy to move when ha finds a uast of
young mice in his hair, and spiders weav
ing their webs over his shirt bosom. I tell
you again, my brethren, yo t were ti'vcr
mtJe to stand still and mourn like a
mountain pine in the holjov midnight
wind. You were intended to push ahead
and keep stirring, like a barkeeper: to bo
jolly, gy, lively always in a good spir
its as a fly in a bottle of old Jamaica: to
laugh at care, snap your fingers at rorruw;
and to whistlf? when Leset by tne myriajs
' of petty ills that $ constantly are seeking
