The following editorial article appears in the
Charleston Mercury of Thursday last:
' HARM DONI'
"Private advices from our most strenuous
friends at the North request that we should pro
test against the imprudent expressions that have
escaped from Southern speakers, since the ad
journment of the National Democratic Conven
tion. It is represented to us that great injury is
accruing to the cause from such imprudence.
We therefore shall make no apologies for asking
the attention of our public speakers to the fact.
- We are all desirous of pushing ou the good work
of success, and no ono would voluntarily impede
its course who was aware of the fact. Whilat no
man in the South should be, and no true man is,
ashamed of our great lost cause ; and whilst,
when we speak of the past, we should speak
like true men, it is questionable whether at
this time anything is to be gained by too
much reference to things that jar -on
people's nerves. What we want just now is to
win. Let us keep our powder for that purpose.
Too much is aestake to waste it now in feux de
joie. Let ns have our pyrotechnics next March.
In the meantime,
friends, .without abating ono
sentiment that Is true, be cool and steady, and
give the enemy no advantage. We have a strong
foe to encounter, We can't afford to give him
all the advantage of position. Let us guard on
flanks, Make secure our lines, and when the time
comes next November let us down on him like an
avalanche, and double him up like a grub-worm
and then scatter him to the winds. We have
the power. Do not let us unnecessarily fritter it
away in unavailing skirmishing and heedless
thoughtless, scattered assaults. Let us work,and
speak, to win."
It is almost too late; for Wade Hampton, Blair
Vance, Wise and the rest, have also spoken.
The Southern Banner of Georgia, speaking or
Johnson's amnesty, says: "Let us be thankful
for small favors. .Let us rejoice that the ban of
oppression has been uplifted. Let us shout
hosannas to 'the best government the world ever
saw !'—but let us never forget the principles for
which we struggled through four long and bloody
years; and let us sever forget the gallant `men in
gray, 'who so ,nobly yet so vainly struggled to
vindicate and uphold those principles."
'What's In a Nano ?
The New York World has been harping upon
what it considers the uncertainty of Gen. Grant's
name in this sort of style:
againimplere in let - US kno - W
whom they have nominated for the Presidency,
and we respectfully accompany the request with
the question whether they don't think their
nominee—even if having no policy of his own—
should at least know enough to know his own
siame."
To which saith the Rochester (New York) Dean
perat:.
"This is funny—very. And it seems to us es
pecially funny in the World, ,whose editor we
knew not very lone ago as Manton Moses Marble,
and whose name stands on the books of the
Rochester University as Manton M. Marble, but
who now signs himself as Manton Marble, with
out any middle name or letter. Hadn't the World
better explain what has become of the middle
name of its editor, before it asks any more ques
tions about the name of General Grant?
Who is the editor of the World:"
And It is further announced thatGov.Seymour's
name on the college catalogue was Horace in
stead of "Horatio "
What's in a name?

—ln his speech at Chicago on the 30th ult.,Mr.
"Colfax said ''l have nothing to say of the plat
form of our party. My views on that sabject I
have already unfolded. I have nothing to say of
the candidates. But there is one subject on
which my lips are not sealed, or that my lips
will not be sealed upon until sealed in death—
and that is the noble party which is a part of the
Republic to-day. I thank God that there is such
a party to-day. Its deeds are written upon the
brightest pages of our history. And when we
shall pass away, your children and your chil
dren's children, shall rise up and call you
blessed, because you shall have stood up in the
perilous hour of our country. It is among the
most precious of our recollections, that when the
storms of war burst upon us, that when we spoke
with bated breath, only one party said, "Come
weal or woe; to the last man, to the last dollar,
we will stand by our country to the last drop of
our blond, to the last beat of oar hearts.'
Through sorrow and gloom we fought on till our
republic was saved and the Rebellion was
crushed."
—A Mississippi daily has at the head of one o
its columns a cut el a rebel flag, with cannon nu
derneath, and the words: The gnus that wil
kill Radicalism are, for President. Horatio Bey
mour; Vice President, Frank P. Blair."
—The following is fuller than our telegraph
despatch on Saturday : A statement has been ex
tensively published in the Democratic papers to
the effect that General Grant's brother, Orvill:
Grant, Esq,, of Chicago, refuses to support him
for the Presidency, and that he has lately given
elm() to the Chicago Democratic Club. A gen
tieman in Hartford, Connecticut, with whom
Orville L. Grant has business relations, wrote him
in relation to these statements,ashing him if they
were true. Mr. Grant replied that they are en
tirely false, and added : "I am sound as a nht on
Grant abd Colfax—am strong in the Republican
faith, always have been, and hope to be,and have
no idea how any person could get an impression
to the contrary. If you hear any one say that O.
L. Grant will vote the Democratic ticket, you can
use my name in contradicting it"
—The Cincinnati Gazette says: "In a recent con
versation with an intelligent Western gentleman,
the Chief Justice spoke very strongly against the
Seymour and Blair ticket. He said that if it
should he elected, all the fruits of the four years'
war against the rebels would be lost. On the other
hand be complained with considerable bitterness
that the Republican party lines were drawn too
closely; that he and many who sympathized with
him, would like to support the Chicago nomi
nees, but were met only with a coldness and dis
trust nearly equivalent to repalsion. This, he
felt, was uncharitable."
—The New York Times' Washington letter says:
brief paragraph respecting Secretary Sew
ard In last Thursda3's Times created no little
commotion here, and the intimation that he
again would place himself in accord with the
party of his creation is hailed with joyous accla
mations by men who, while differing with that
distinguished statesman on questions of recon
struction, still hold him in high esteem, no lees
for his purity of heart than for his unselfish pa
triotism.
"It is more than hinted that other members of the
cabinet consider themselves absolved from fur
ther alliance with the Democratic party and
will act with reference to „the pending issues
in accordance with their earlier political faith
and affiliations. Their friends claim for them
consistency in this course, for having done
all that they were constitutionally empowered to
do in furtherance of the policy which to them
seemed the only correct one, and after a three
years' adherence to that policy, finding them
selves unsustained by the people and without the
hope of present judicial indorsement, and with
their plan of reconstruction superseded by an
other, they can now with propriety accept the
situation and decline to longer tight In a hopeless
cause, especially when the fight can only be sus
tained by accepting the men and principles of the
late Anti-War party. Even 1. success could pro
mise nothing better than ants rehy."
St. Thomas.
ST. 'Dionne, July, 1 8 68.—The good peor.le o'
t3t. Thomas have changed +heir minds to a strtl - _,.„
extent about the honor and delight of belonging
to the United States. When they voted, almost
unanimously, for annexation , It was under the
belief that their port was to remain as fret to
commerce as it was under Denmark, anu -hat be
sides !Xing the emporium cd a most Faying inter
&land trade, Uncle Sam was going to rain gold
upon them. They fondly believed that he would
spend untold millions in dock-yards and fortifi
cations and that nice races and fat contracts
would be as. plenty as blackberries about Si.
-Thomas.--
When the British and French steam lines be-
tarn :o look round for a new station that would
not be exactly in the throat of Uncle Sam's one
hundred pound mortars the people of St.
Thomas only said, "Let them go; we shan't miss
a monthlydozen or so of European mail steamers
when our harbor is crowded with scores of United
States ships of all classes. We shall have greater
things to occupy nu when the products of the
Union pour into our port, for distribution to all
the islands round about in our own tidy little
American steamer." ,
The first shock came in the semi-official hints
that St Thomas would cease to be a free port,
and that the high tariff created by the last war
would rule here, as it did in all other United
States ports. This report was a wet blanket of
the very coldest wetness to the ardor of 'the an
nexationiets. From that time they began to see
that the life of their island was free trade, and
that the European mail steamers were very use
ful things after all. St. Thomas now relaxes t and
suites on them again as graciously as ever, but
the steam lines do not smile back again. They
have caught the sulks, and continue to look
around' for other accommodations in some
securely neutral harbor. In all this reaction the
Yankees seem to care less about the matter than
the other foreign residents. They say, "We are
sure to find safe standing ground somewhere,
and are quite ready to move off to Samana."—N.

NEW JERSEY MATTERS.
SAD CASUALTY AT ATLANTIC CITY-SiNZIIAL
Pi nsorrs Dnowrinp,— , On Saturday last, Mr-
Joseph T. Vankirk, aged 53 years; Mr. G. M,
Balton, son of the Rev. M. Bailout, pas
tor of the Second Universalist Church,
in Eighth street, above Noble; Mr. Henry C.
Trough and Louis Morwitz, retorter on the
Phifacicia Democrat, wore drowned at Atlantic
City. Mr. Vtinkirk and his youngest daughter,
and young Mr. Ballon and his mother, went
to Atlantic City on Thursday last, intending
•to remain a week or two, and were stop
ping at the Mansion House. On Saturday
morning the four went in to bathe nearly
'opposite the Mansion House, and after
remaining in,the water a short time,
Mr. Vankirk equested the ladies to leave
him and Mr. Balton '
as they intended to remain
in the water a short time longer, for the purpose
of having a swim, both being excellent swim
mers. The ladles went to their bathhouses, and
the two gentlemen commenced to swim,and soon
afterwards disappeared, without causing any
alarm among the other bathers. The ladles in
the meantime had re-appeared upon the beach,
and waited for the appearance of their companions
and were becoming anxious at their long stay In
the water, when the lifeless body of Mr. Vankirk
was washed ashore, and there was no sign of that
of Mr. Ballon.
Mr. Van4irlt,was at the head of the firm of
Vankirk & co., manufacturers orgas fixtures, at
No. 912 Arch street, and was also well known as
a member of Common Council in 1865, 1866 and
1867. He was highly esteemed by all who knew
him: - He resided at - 44=1=1 Main street, Frank- -
ford, where he leaves a wife and six children.
The body of Mr. Vankirk was brought to the
city on Saturday night, and the funeral will
take place from his late residence on Wednes
day.
Bann was his_ twenty-second_ye_ar,_ _
feud was the only son and living child of the Rev.
Mr. Bellew. He studied medicine with Dr.
Agnew, and graduated, with great honor, last
spring, at the University of Pennsylvania. He
was much beloved, and gave promise of a suc
cessful career as a physician. He was to have
been married in a few months to the youngest
daughter of Mr. Vankirk, the one that accompa
nied her father to the sea shore.
The Rev. Mr. Ballon went to Atlantic City on
Saturday afternoon, and on his arrival was met
by the Hon. H. D. Moore, and informed of the
.ad news of the drowning of his son. Mr. Bal
ion, his wife, and Mr. Vankirk's daughter re
lurned to this city in the next train, leaving Mr
Iloore to take ell necessary steps for the recov
, ry of the body of Mr. Ballon.
Mr. Henry R. Trough visited Atlantic City on
Saturday morning, in company with the members
of Merrick's Beneficial Association, and at the
usual bathing hour went in to swim near the spot
where Vankirk and Bailout were bathing, and
must have disappeared about the same time. Mr.
Trough intended remaining at Atlantic for some
days, and his son was in the act of registering his
name at the hotel when news of the drowning of his
rather reached him. The deceased was of the
rum of Trough & Lemmens, dealers in tinware.
at No. 521 South Second street, and was a well
known citizen, particularly to the residents in
the southern section of the city. He had been
been an active fireman, and was President of the
ziouthwark Engine Co., and a School Director of
he Second Ward. He resided at 230 Washington
venue, where he leaves a wife and several
children. He was about 50 years of age.
About the same time that the above parties en
•( reel the water, Mr. Louis Morwitz, who had ar
rived at Atlantic City on Friday, went to the
heacb, and having deposited his clothing and val
uable- at one of the bathhouses, strolled along
the beach. He has not been seen since, and the
circumstances attending his drowning are wrapt
u mystery. The keeper of the bath-house was
he first to notice his absence, because he did not
return to claim his clothing, and an examination
of his papers then gave an inti
mation of who he was and his occupation. Dili
cent search was made for the body, but without
success up to last accounts. Mr. Morwitz
eas a German, about 2t years of age, unmarried,
and for years has been connected with the Phila.
iketecrea as importer. In the profession: he
was noted for his industry., obliging disposition,
and many madly traits of character. Dr. Mor
n' itz, the proprietor of the journal with which
the deceased was connected, visited Atlantic City
csterday morning, and upon hie arrival heard
tor the first time of the disappearance of his
nephew. It is said that when Mr. Morwitz was
last seen in the water, he was endeavoring to save
two men, one of whom he rescued, but the se
cotd, Mr. Trough, was beyond his reach, and in
his efforts to save him, he lost his own life.
PREPARING FOR ACTION.—The Republicans of
Camden city and vicinity are preparing for ac
,ice services during the present campaign. To
sight a soldiers' and sailors' campaign club is to
oe formed, and a large public mass meeting will
se held on the occasion. This organization will
labor zealously for Grant and Colfax and the Re
publican cause. From the character of the gen
tlemen who are engaged in this affair, men who
saw hard service in the Union armies while
fighting and suffering to put down the rebellion,
the club cannot fail to be efficient in the political
canvass now at hand. The audience on the
occasion will be addressed by able soldier ora
tors, who can use their tongues as well as their
swords.
A Goon MEASURE.—The City Council of Cam
den have done a good thing, for which they de
serve commendation. They have authorized the
Committee on Fire Apparatus to supply each
company with sufficient hose to meet the de
mands of any emergency. This measure was
suggested by the lack of hose at the recent de
structive fire on Second street. The Fire Depart
ment is composed of able and efficient compa
nies, but their equipments are not as extensive
as many contingencies demand. With the con
templated amount of hose for each company, it
is thought that much property may be saved. by
obtaining . water from other sources than the
meagre supply through the fire-plugs.
PoLim-Three additional police officers are soon
to be appointed for the special duty of patroling
along the river front. This is the most exposed
and unguarded portion of Camden, where there is
much travel, and in times past a number of per
sons have been assaulted and robbed. The large
extent of territory which each officer has been
required to watch leaves the river unprotected at
many parts of the night, and this measure seems
to have been dictated by an absolute necessity.
There should have been six additional men in
stead If three.
A DANGEROUS FALL.—A man employed on the
Third Street M. E. Church, Camden, made a nar
row escape from being crushed to death on Fri
day afternoon. While in the act of carrying a
board to the top of the building, he accidentally
lost his balance and fell a distance of thirty feet.
He was pretty badly bruised, but had no bones
broken.
C.A.mnErr DISPENSARY.—This institution is ex
e, Jug great good in Camden, and its sphere o
u_ 'fulness is constantly expanding. Were it,
howe-er, possessed of larger and more readily
avallal le resources,ite benefactions might be more
extensively exhibited and applied. Application
has been made to the City Council for an appro •
priation, which in dne time will be granted.
FINLI , .—Two men were before Mayor Cox on
Saturday morning on a charge of driving at
furious rate through the streets and over the side
walks. 'They were compelled to pay the usual
line for such misdemeanors.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN --- PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1868.
SANITARY kfttssunns. , —The authorities of Cam
den have been unusually diligent the present
summer in keeping the streets thorouzbly
cleansed, and_ the consequenoe le, the cityls now

fine and convenient• Hall. The various Lodges
of the Order in Camden ate In a prosperous con

tual blessing.
UITY BULLETIN.
DEMOLITION OF AN OLD CIIIIROIE —TIIO Old
Baptist Church at Roxborough is about to bo
demolished, and a larger structure is to
take its place. The new edifice is to be substan
tially built of stone,and is expected to be finished
about Christmas. Last evening the , final services
were held in the old building. Enoch Levering,
the oldest deacon, made the opening prayer, and
addresses were made by Rev. ,David Spencer, the
pastor, and by Messrs. Nathan L. Jones, John
Riter, George Riter, A. D. Levering and William
Henry Lewis.
This was the first place of public worship es
tablished in RoXborough. Meetings were held at
the house of Nathan Levering, on Ridge Road,
and afterwards there was preaching in the School
House, but no church or place of worship of any
sort existed. till August 28, 1789, ' when thirty
persona, all members of the First Baptist Church
in Philadelphia, were regularly constituted as
"the Church of Jesus Christ on the Ridge Road,
Roxborough Township." In March of the next
year, a central lot of ground for a meeting house
was given by Nathan .Levering. , Asa bacription,
amounting to more than enough, was soon ob
tained, and a stone house • promptly ereeted,
which was dedicated October 24, 1790. In 1825 a
comfortable parsonage was erected on the church
lands,. fronting Ridge avenue. On Jan. 17, 1830,
the church house was accidentally ,birrnt to the
ground, but the zeal of the pcopleetpullt and fur-..
til6hed,' within the tame yearr,. a bettor and larger
house, at the cost,of $2,015. The number of
members at this time was seventy-one.
The meeting-house, as originally built, was 30
by 40 feet, with galleries on three sides. When
rebuilt, atter the fire of 1830, it was 40 by 50 feet.
An end gallery was afterwards put up. The
pulpit was between the doors. In 1846 the
house was enlarged to its present dimensions,
wilh front and side galleries, 40 by 63 feet, and
the pulpit was restored to the right place. The
walls and ceiling were handsomely painted. The
cost of the im_provemente„ withfurniture, was_
about $1,300,a sum readily raised from the church
and congregation, by the pastor and others.
Accommodations being yet needed for evening
meetings, and for the Sunday School, In 1831 a
neat chapel. 30 by 40 feet, was erected on the
church premises, at a cost of $1,200, and paid
- forrpartly - by - moneys - colleeted—by — the—pastor. -
and partly from the church fund.
The following is a list of the pastors of the
church since its establishment:
Rev. Curtis Gilbert, 1791-1792.
Rev. Thomas Fleesing, 1800-1820.
Rev. Henry Keeling, 1821-1822.
Rev. Samuel Smith, 1827-1831.
Rev. Dyer A. Nichols, 1831-1837
Rev. Simeon Siegfried, 1837-1838.

Empress had left one of the rooms in the palace
of Fontainebleau in which they usually sit, an
immense chandelier, suspended from the ceiling,
fell with such foTee as to break in the flooring.

This Company, National in its character,offers,
by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates of Pre
mium and New Tables, the most desirable means
of insuring life yet presented to the public.
The rates of premium; being largely reduced,
are made as favorable to the Insurers as those of
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi
dends and the misunderstandings which the latter
are apt to cause the Policy-Holder.
Several new and attractive tables are now pre
sented, which need only to be understood to
prove acceptable to the public, such as the IN
COME-PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN
PREMIUM POLICY. In the former, the policy
holder not only secures a life insurance, payable
at death, but will receive, if living, after a period
of a few years, an annual income equal to ten per
cent. (10 per cent.) of the par of his policy. In the
latter, the Company agrees to return to the as
sured the total amount of money he has paid in, in
addition to the amount of his policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insur
ing their lives or Increasing the amount of insur
ance they already have,is called to the special ad
vantages offered by the National Life Insurance
Company.
