They are taking a State census there, nnd, us far ns beard from, the parishes show n comparative fulling off of white people, nnd uu increase of colored people, Iu 1850, the national census showed that there were 119,000 more blacks than whites in the old Palmetto Stute. Nearly one-half of the State's delegation in Congress represents negroes, chattels, things, and not men. In a few yenrs the blacks will be so decidedly ahead of the whites ns to be ablo to take matters into their own hands, on the "squatter sovereignty" principle. Yet that is the State which is continually de nouncing the Union, when it is nothing but the Union's power that prevents tho slaves from cutting tho throats of their masters. In 1S80, the negroes were but. 65,000 ahead of the whites, and about 76,000 in 140. Taking the rato of increase from 1810 lo 1S50 as a basis of calculation, the negroes, , .,, , . t tlio next annual census, will show then. silres in a majority of about 190,000.

Of late year the M.h Istroin on the conl of Norway has been doubted. The ancient accounts of Its terrible power were no doubt fubulous, but Mr. H.igemp, Minister of the Norwegian Marine, bus recently given a reliable nccount of it, iu reply to some questions from a corrcpomlent of the Do ton Record. The vut whirl Is caused by setting In und out of tide between Lo'oden and Mooken, and is luo-t violent half way between ebb uud flood till". At flood and ebb tide it disappears for about liulf an hour, but begins again with the moving of the waters. Large vessels may pass over it in sufcty iu serene weuther, but iu a storm it is perilous to tho lurgest craft. Small boats arc not sufe near it at its strongest action in uny weuther. Tho whirls of the Maelstrom do not, as wus onc,e supposed, draw vessels under the water, but by their violence they fill them with water or dash them upon the neighboring shoals, Mr. Hogernp snys: " In winter, it not uufrcqiiciitly happens that, ot s.a, n bank of clouds shows a west storm, with heavy sen, to bo prevailing there, while further III on tho coast, the clear air shows that on tho inside of the West-tjord (east side ofLofodcn) tho wind blows from the land, and sets out through the tjord Irom the rust. In such cases, is peciully. an approach to tho Maelstrom Is in the' highest degree dangerous, for the stream and uud r cutting iu from opposite directions work there together to inukn the whole pnssngo one single boiling cauldron. At such times uppeur the mighty whirls which huve given it tho mime of Muelstrom (that is, the whirling or grinding stream) and in which no craft whatever can hold its course. For a steamer, then, it is quite in mlviiublo to cross the passage of the Mael strom during a winter storm, nnd for a sail ing vessel it may also be bad enough if should there fall a calm or a light wind, whereby the power of tho st renin becomes greater than thut of the wind, leaving the vessel no longer under command." tsy A letter from the Rev. Mr. Spur geon, dutcd last mouth, and addressed to his renders in America, states thut ho has " not yi-t been called" to visit these shores; dedans that he does not write for the New York Wavtvly; and answers queries con cerning his views on the Communion. On tho latter point Mr. Spurgeon says: "As for communion, it seems to us thut that is no more at our disposal than the blood of the Redeemer, which ho has shed for all his people, whether immersed or not. Wc be lieve restricted fellowship to bo impossible umong the saints of Clod. With nil the Cliiiich wo do uud must commune. Tho Sjvrit of the living God hus established nn imsist.ihlc Communion mining nil the re generated, und no church net enn limit or restrain the divine impulse. Respecting the consciences of tho.-.o who hold a limited fellowship, wc do most solemnly protest uguinst their error." . JOiy-The London Atheim'iim records the death, on Sept. lOlh, of Dr. Thos.

Tho following is from mi article in Dluck- wood's .Mitgaziue, on the pvuee of Villa- iranca: " The r.'Shlt showed tl.ai rossiilh wlf.lt nil his ability und , loipiem-c, was but as an lifitnt in tho haiiiNof tlieexlraiirdiuni' mini who rul.s Prance, nnd who now holds iu ins power the fortunes or Europe.

Lick. The Dev. Henry Ward Derchrr snys many fjood things pithy, wire, and ipminl. Among these, on a recent lecturo on "froo.1 and bud lin k," he ohservud that some men thouglit thut Providence held an iiiipbcablo spito ntrninst them, nnd thnt they never met with luck when others did. I Io then went on to say that one with a rood profession, lost his lin k iu the river, - whero ho idled away bis time in fishing, when be should huve been iu the ollice. Another, willi a good trade, perpetually burnt up his luck with bis hot temper, which provoked nil bis employers to lcavo him. Another, with u lucrutivo business, lost his luck by awaking diligence ut every thing but bis business. Another, who steadily followed his bottle. Another, who was honest and constant at his wotk, erred by perpetual inisjiidgnienls; ho lacked dis cretion. . Hundreds lost their lin k by en dorsing; by sanguine speculations; by trust ing fraudulent men; mid by dishonest gains. A nmii never has good luck who has a bud wifu. He never knew an eurly rising, hard working, prudent man, careful of his earnings nnd strictly honest, whoeoinphiinnd of bad luck, A good churacter, good hab its, and iron industry, are impregnable to the assaults of ail tho ill luck fools ever dreamed of. Dut when he saw a tultcrde mulion creeping out of a groggery lute in thu forenoon, with his hands stut k in his pockets, tlio rim of his hat turned up, und the crown knocked in, he knew ho hud bad luck for the worst of nil lin k is lo be a sluggard, ft knave, or n tippler. ST Wilkes' Spirit says: " In accord ance with the suggestion which wn nutdo lust week, Aaron Jones, who hn la deposit up for n match with Sayers for the cham pionship of England, bus conceded his priv ilege for the first chance at Savers to John C. Heenan, nnd in accordance therewith we have disputched'a request to the ed'lor of Dell's Lifu to forfeit for Jonas, and to put Heenan on the record iu his place, lleo nan will stand next o;i the list of Sayers' engagements after the match with the Un known, and as tliut is fixed for the 15th Xoveinbor, and may perhaps be ended sooner by a forfeit on tlic part of tho Un known, the American champion is sure to be able to tneosure himself against the re doubtable master of the English King by next May, or c.t the furthest by next June." tST A nother reverend gentleman, the IIev.
