Car­lisle, in 1809, was admitted to the bar in 1812, and first entered publio life as a member of the Legislature of the State in I ft U.

PKOSCKCTS OF ADJOURNMENT.—

There is a disposition on the part of a large number oi members of CongresB to adjourn about the 1st of July, in order that thoy may activoly enter on the Presidential canvass.

HP/*" The formal tender of the nom­inations of the Chicago Convention was made to (Jen. Grant and Mr. Col­fax Friday evening. Gen.. Grant made a characteristic response, accepting tho nomination, and pledging bis fu­ture course with b4i past

from this quarter may not be without interest to your readers. Tbls is a fine town, situated on the direct road, 59 miles from Syracuse, 22 from Ro-jBbcafcar., The village te.About half a mile from the railroad depot, and con­tains between three and foui? thousand inhabitanta The location of the vil­lage, (being on high ground,) and the numerous sbade trees must make it a very pleasant place in summer. In fact it is ono of the finest villages in

' The Senate yesterday confirm­ed Major-Gen. Sohofield as Seoretary of War. There was nd reason for ex­pecting a different action on the part ef the Senate. Gen. Schofield has Ad­ministered the government of Virgin' in, under the Reconstruction laws, with fidelity and marked ability, and is well-known to posteon* the fullest confidence, of Gen. Grant The Sen­ate did not allow the confirmation.to pass without declaring in a preamble that the removal of Secretary Stanton was unlawful.

' Tho adoption of the resolution in the House, last Week, consigning the contain acinus witness, Wooley, to close confinement, was tho occasion of a very exo>ted and not altogether de­corous debate. Mr. Brooks attempt­ed to read an abusive communication from Woobjy, but was silenced by a vote of'tbe House. Gen.. Butler .con­clusively proved the -impolicy of graf­ting tho Opposition a place on the Committee of Investigation.

Some of the English' writers take a very correct view of affairs in the United States. Thus the last West-

•• minster Reoiew says: , , , , . . .f " Tho Americans are, at the present

moment, substantially engaged in a eanflict which wo as Englishmen car­ried on' for many generations. When we boast of our liberties, we make them to repose on the ultimate and fi­nal victory which the legislative pow­er has at fast gained over the execu­tive. To speak of the Northern Amer­icana as tyraniuing over the Southern in a spirit of revenge, is at once to show that the heat of a particular con-' tost is mistaken for the genera) tone

ing, (union school,); with a fine corps of teachers, presided over by ProC Fits, a real live Yankee pedagogue, juat such an ono as our boy imagina­tions used to paint years ago. It has five churches—Methodist Episcopal, Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopal and Catholic The first threo are on cor­ners opposite each other, and. the fourth ie about to be removed to the remaining corner, which will bring the four churches close together—only the streets separating them. :*..'" u!fo

I like the plan much, but it is a ques­tion whether in a village like this there is Christianity enough to keep thorn from pulling each ether's hair when so near together. Tho Methodists have recently built a very fine church which they think a little ahead of cither of the others. I Heard several1 of the members bragging about their fine church (made of brick) and ^teifhow much better it was than either of the other church buildings, and how much it cost, bnt I did not •see any great'

f irido in good true christian Sots; nei-nor did I hear any ono brag Of the

money that had been spent in reliev­ing the sufferings of the poor or in any other "Way giving ;pra<*tJoW dent-onstrations' 'of Christianity. I ; under­stand that the other denominations aro thinking of rebuilding, and if possl-blo,outdo the Methodist. • There Hcdiri's to be quite a strife and considerable hard feeling between:the different sects. Jealousy and hatred of Other denomi­nations seem to'ho the'besetting sins of most religious societies. People seem -to have mere lpride:iof church than ot Christianity. They appearvto think that the tallest steople gives the best seat in heaven.

This place claims the honor of giv­ing birth, to both Spiritualism, abd Mormomsm. Mrs. Pox and her daugh­ter used to live a little east of here, and first began their spiritual rappings there. After curiosity on this subject became sufficiently excited as to bring people from different parts of the coun­try to witness the' new phenomena, in order to make it a paying business, sho moved to Rochester. Joseph Smith, tho great Mormon prophet, used to livo here, Joseph and Luoy Smith moved from'Royalstbn, Vt., to this place in the sumihor of J 816, Their earthly possessions consisted of nine children—Joseph, Jr., being tho fourth. On coming to Palmyra, the Smiths opened a cake and bocr shop, tho prof-Its of which with an occasional day's work onabled them to keep soul and body together. The family were re­garded as7 a lazy', illiterate, drunken set. Joe (as he was called bore) being if possible, the laziest of the lot. He was a dull-eyed, stupid-looking boy, regarded as, indolent, untruthful and vagabondish,' His habit of stretching the truth was so, great that people did! not believe a word he said.

Mr. Smith, Sr„ constructed a rough hand-cart with which on military train­ing days, Fourth of July, and other, publio days, he peddled root boor, gin­gerbread, A c , about the streets. Joe was .sometimes persuaded to go put with tho cart, but always wanted some othep member o f the family te.dxaw, it, while ho acted as salesman, i It was in this, capacity that ho t,ook his first lessons in commercial science. He was not, however, a profitable clerk for tbe family. The mischievous boys knowing his stupidity, used .to buy his

, merchandise with pewter quarters and other imitation coins. ,(:

In tho year 1818 tho Smiths moved to the.town of Manchester, Ontario county, about two miles from Palmy-' ra, and took possession ("by right of squatter, sovereignty") ,of a piece of land belonging to "non-resident minor, heirs," which was uncarcd for by any l w ^ t\gf#- i A w a l l , lo,w tog-b,ouse. wftb-tworrooms, on ,the ground floor,. was built and served as shelter tor tho sainted family. Their chief business here was tho manufacture of black-ash baskets, bpreb hFoomal!(]k^un.t^g^ fish­ing, trapping muskrats, digging wood-chucks, A c Joe was too laay to do any of the .labor*.,hut. goueijeJIy was wilUogto bo captain in tbe,, hunting and digging fpr^wo<$uhuo_) , The children instead of attending school, spent their time in lounging about tho stores, and shops of the village. Tho father of the prophet was first a llm-versulist and then a Methodist. But his religion did not savo him from the suspicion of his neighbors. Indolent as the whole family were, the frequent, nocturnal visits to tho sheep folds, lion houses, .smoke houses, .and collars of the farmers were thought by some good people to bo tho work ot the

Smiths. Mrs. Smith was a woman of considerable mental calibre, artful and cunning, but uneducated, $b,b nr8t. oonoeiyed the idea that a. prophet was to.spring trom her household^ and des­ignated her sou Alya as t W chosen

to the South at the termination of the war. If the Republican party have committed any excesses, they have been driven to them by the President. The blows that have fallen npoii the South have beea invited by thorn and foroed in self defease on men who ap­proached their enemies witn an open hand."

Thero is not a crack upon"the surface of tho gun, but the dint was driven right through tho thickness of tho gun, and repro­duced in th&phase, so (that'a closely-fitting shot oould not be firod from it."

Sjnt:—I take great pleasure In stating that, after having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifloen years at some porlods much moro than others, 1 have been omlroly cured by the use of Coe's Dyspepsia Cure. My friends know that of late years my case has been an extreme ono. I had great suffering from eating any kind of food, and on an average would vomit about onq-thlrd of my meals, In a sour indigestible mass. When the severe attacks would come, I wonld lose all strength . . . . . .

woult the attacks would be so severe and be uttorly hclnloss.

Six months havo now passed without any symptoms of the return of the disease. My case was Coneldortsd by all, evon physicians, so marvolohs, that for a time it was foarod It might be nctitlous , but 1 am now so well convinced, that I have been not merely relieved, but permanently cured, that I can consclontionsly recbn-'" • • • • • -all victims of dyspepsia.
