FRIDAY, jJt"l'fL3.!Sy1 1'ab.ty Hypocrisy. The most uniform bobby of the so-called Democratic party, is, opposition to banks and a paper curren cy : resolutions denouncing them pass every State and County Convention, em bellish every speech, and are the burden of every newspaper in their rant a : and yet, practically ilia self-same Democrats are and ever have been the greatest friends of the worst, loosest kinds of "rag money." As an example, the State of Indiana hap pens just now to be the only Free State which is Messed with a true-blue Democra tic Governor is, in fact, the strongest "Democratic" Free State in the Union. Well, last month we had sent us, on sub scription for the Chronicle, an engraved order to pay $2 on an Insurance Company in that State ! ! Not a chartered Dank, not a Free Bank, not even a "promise to pay" by a chartered Company, but some body's order on an Insurance Company to pay ! 1 ! What a "better currency !" how purely Democratic ! The gentleman who sent it to us Bald, "We take anything here that resembles money." There's Western riches there's Democratic Indiana for yon an order on an Insurance Company, circulating in the form of a Bank Note and the poor "Hoosiera" glad to get even that !

The "Glorious Fourth." I Ever since the expected comet ignomini i ously backed out of having a rough-and-lum-i ble encounter with our innocent world, my mind has been more or less a prey to disap pointment: for such collision I confidently an ticipated (grounding my belief on the predic tion of a not-to-be-callcd-in-question Dutch Al manac), and I had great faith in the pugilistic abilities of this ''terrestrial ball" to demolish such nebulous upstart and send its atoms fly ing "on a tangent" though the realms of infin ite space by way of punishment. I was downright dissatisfied on account of the post ponement of the comet, but since " The Fourth" began to be the topic of couversaiion, my spirits have gradually regained their won ted elasticity, and disappointment has given way to rejoicing. In other words,I am becom ing patriotic exceedingly, and catch myself twenty times a day whistling "Yankee Doo dle" with immense enthusiasm, "or beating rh devil' tattoo" to the tune of.-llail Colum bia." The Declaration of Independence now furnishes for me the principal stamina for cogitations both nocturnal nnd diurnal, and indeed that great instrument absorbs every leisure moment especially the first and last clauses, which are so striking that I can not venture to look at the intermediate portion through fear of spoiling the effect of the pri. mum and ultimum. By such a laudable course of preparation, I have arrived at that glorious stage of philanthropic feeling when a person can extend his dexter hand to a Con go "nigier"' and call him brother, or, without a spark of prejudice in favor of our own, blend the flags of all countries into a many colored canopy, and weave their national mottoes into one inexplicable compound, after . , , . ,:- .

Patriotically and exultingly, Ecefiax June 27, 1857. For the Lewbilrarg Chronicle. HiSTonicit InAcccaaciu.- In a late num ber of your paper, were exposed three errors in a floating paragraph of five lines relative to the death of Gen. Washington. The fol lowing is another specimen of the same care less publications : " The Baptist church was organized in 1639, and has 8791 churches, valued at $19, 931,382, and accommodating 130,876 per sons." "A church" having "churches," with a "value" attached in dollars, and an approxi mation to the number of persons they may " accommodate," is very much of a "mixed metaphor," blind and lame. But let me cor rect the positive errors. 1st. There is no "the Baptist church," those who hold that name being themselves judges. There is a sect or denomination of Christians, called Baptists, sub-divided into other persua sions, each forming independent worshiping congregations or " churches," the pions mem ber of which, in the judgment of charity, are also " members of the general assembly and church of the first born whose names are written in heaven." But there is but one "the church," and that embraces all true believers. 2d. The German Protestant theologian, Dr. Mosheim.who flourished over a century since, states in his celebrated Ecclesiastical History, that "the true origin of that sect which ac quired the denomination of Anabaptists, is bid in the remote depth of antiquity." I'pon the promulgation of the Reformation by Luther, persons holding the fundamental tenets of the Baptists sprung forth from concealment in va rious parts of Germany, England, Ac. John Thomas, in 1778, published a book in which he gives a Histdry of the Baptists in Wales from the year 63 after Christ. Robinson's History of Baptism refers to records of the Bishop of Ely establishing the fact that a Bap tist church existed in Cbicester in 1457400 years ago. 3d. It is true, however, that die first Baptist church in America was founded in 1639 at Providence.R. I., and that the Census of 1650 gives 8,791 as the number of Baptisfchurch es" in the United States. But the "churches" there referred to are the houses of worship only and their value is put at (en instead of nineteen millions. The number of real "church es" of baptized believers connectrd with the Regular or associated t'alvinistic Bnpiitts in the IT. S., in 1850, was 10,771, and in North America 1 1 22 1. Other branches of the de nomination swell the list of Baptist churches in America to 17,327 and in the world, prob ably 20,000. It is as well to be correctly informed as to be incorrectly informed, in this as in many other matters. As Onsmvia. ConviTKmtlrtiee pf the Lewisburg Chronicle. Sights of a Lewisburgcr "down South." June 2d. The Great Valley of Virginia is a part of that long stretch of country reaching from Easton in Penn sylvania, embracing Cumberland Valley, and running across Western Maryland and Central Virginia into Eastern Tcnncsce. The first town we reached after leaving the camp ground, was Sharpsburg, three miles from which we crossed the Balti more & Pittsburg canal and also the famed Potomac here a narrow but deep stream on a substantial bridge (3 levies toll) into Virginia. After passing some rocky ledges wo reached Shepherdstown, in Jef ferson county, of which Charleston is the capital. Then traveled a good turnpike, and paid 2 cts. per mile for the privilege; farm houses, "few and far between," the farms having from 500 to 800 acres each, with a fair sprinkling of colored popula tion. Crossing the Baltimore & Ohio R. R. we made Lcetown, which has a toll house but no hotel. Pushing on a little further, found accommodations with a far mcr,who says he keeps a houso for private entertainment and public disappointment, lie bad a good supply of honey, and gave ns one hint which may be worth remem bering by bee keepers in BufFaloc A'allcy: when any of his bees were short of heney in the winter, instead of giving them hon ey, molasses, sugar, &c, ho puts oats on the bottom beard inside of the hive, and the bees taken out the kernel more nicely than mice could do it.

Turnips among Corn. I wish to call tho attention of my brother farmers to the fact that turnips can be grown amongst corn with very lit tlo trouble or expense. I have raised them for several years in the following manner: After the cultivator went tbrongh the corn the last timo for the season, I followed that with the turnip seed, sowing broadcast; a boy follows dragging a hand rake, and it is done. Last year I used a drill with better success than broadcast Two boys can keep np with the cultivator one to pull, the other at the handles. Put one row of turnips between each row of corn. I of course am alluding to ground that will bring a good crop of corn; in poor ground it is useless to put turnip seed or anything else among corn. I bave tried several kinds of turnips and find the Yellow Aberdeen and Whito Norfolk to produce the best The latter I think is the most productive. The seed can be procured at almost any of tho seed stores in the city, at one dollar a pound; a pouad I think is sufficient for a five acre field. Now I consider the cost and trouble not in comparison to that amount of tur nips to feed during winter and spring. I do not consider the corn injured in the least by the turnips, as they grow princi pally after tho corn is cut off. Simon, May 22, in Germantoum Telegraph. A colored man, named Long, residing in Princeton, N. J., has recently received a land warrant for 1G0 acres of land for services in the war of 1812. Long ship ped in New York early in the war; was drafted to Lake Erie, served in the battlo under Com. Perry, and throughout the war. (Yet Judge Taney would say "he is sot a citizen," and "has no rights which any white man is bound to respect ") r TUK UWlSBOa CWWWICIA. Building Associations. No. 2. In presenting the advantages of these Associations, I will call attention, first, to the ready means they afford of profitably investing tho surplus earnings of a poor man. Unlike tho capitalist, the man of small means can not easily obtain com poupd interest for his money. The meagre sums be receives as interest, can not often be profitably invested, except at too great a cost of time. The Building Association combines these small sums, belonging to many, and invests the aggregate immedi ately. In this way, compound interest at least can be sccured,cvcn if no gain should accrue from premiums. But experience has shown that large premiums will always be paid, and the profits thus arising are shared in just proportion by all the mem bers. Take, for example, the Association whose plan of operations I gave last week. Members who have paid in but $120, re ceive from the Association $200 each, ma king the handsome profit of $30 per share, on an investment of $120, for an average time of five years. At simple intercst,this is more than thirteen per cent, per annum, and even at compound interest it is ten per cent. Let every poor man judge for himself whether the chance of investing securely his small savings from month to month, at this rato of interest, is not of it self a great hclp'towards getting himself a home. But a very inadequate view of the true benefits of B. A's would be obtained by re garding tlicm merely as a convenient means of getting a good interest on small sums of money. To a large class, they may be almost said to give both principal and in terest I suppose tho majority of men of small means iucre&se their exponses nearly in the same proportion in which they suc ceed in increasing their income. The man who earns one dollar per day, manages to support his family; let his wages be raised to a dollar and a half a day, and ho will do scarcely more. Most men lay up but little in either case. Suppose, after his wages are increased to 1.50, he saves twenty five cents a day, for twenty days in the month, and subscribes to five shares of stock in a B. A. To enable him to keep np bit monthly payments, he mutt Sleep U1S UtUtr bflluaw4 m t.tiTu 91.SQ day. This he ran do, and if he iriVf do it, in ten years he will bave one thousand dol lars in cash. The Association will then have given him not only four hundred dol lars interest, but, by furnishing the neces sary inducement to save, may almost be said to have given him the six hundred dollars principal. In many cases, it has worked so. Savings Institutions have done much to encourago frugality, but the Building As sociation accomplishes this object much more effectually. It not only offers the stronger indueement of a higher rate of interest, bat it places difficulties in the way of expending the sum already accumulated. To reap the full benefit of the Association, its members must hold on to the end. They can indeed withdraw when they choose, but they can not take out the full amount of their profits, and unless they keep np their payments as long as two years, they are not entitled to draw any iutercst at all. This furnishes a strong motive to persevere in economy and self denial, while the door is open for withdrawal when it is really necessary. Many illustrations of this bave come under my own observation. I call to mind at this moment one of a young man who drove a cart in a lumber yard. lie bad been in the habit of taking an occasional "spree," and in this way had spent all his surplus earnings. lie married,and through the united persuasions of his wife and his employer,was induced to take tbree shares in a Bnildiag Association then just start ing. He found be conld easily save the required three dollars per month, and did not miu it, except that it deprived bim of grog money. When tho strong desire for liquor came on him, he often resolved to withdraw his money from the Association, but some notice was necessary, and,before he conld carry out his purpose, the temp tation was over. He pcrsevercd,and when the Association closed, and he found him self in the possession of a title to a small but comfortable bouse, with many attrac tions in the shape of flowers and shrubbery that bis wife bad gathored around it, and many littlo comforts and convenience which in his leisure hours his own hands bad furnished, he told his employer that be was just that much better off than he would havo been if be had not followed his advice. But this was not all. He owed his reformation alBO, in great part, to the fact that be could not draw his money witbont notice. . An incidental advantage which is not to be entirely overlooked, is derived from the provision that authorizes the heirs of a deceased member to draw out his whole interest One of the chief benefits of Life Insurance, in many eases, consists in fur nishing to the widow, ready money, at her husband's deceaseufficient to support ber until she can begin to earn ber owu living. This object, tbe Building Association accomplishes without the loss of all that has been paid, in case the insured docs not die. The wives of iutcmperate men arc some times compelled to furniah, out of their own earnings, the means of gratifying their husband's desire for drink. Is it not aood thing to give to such, a secure de posit for their money 7 whurc,without tho interference, and if necessary without the knowledge, of the husband,thc iudustrious and frugal wife may lay up something to be ebjoyed when delirium tremens has done its work ? But it must hot be, supposed that the members of a Building Association must wait ten years before they begin to reap the benefit of their savings. Opportunities frequently offer for an industrious man to get himself a home, if he can command money. Sometimes a bouse can be bought, ready built, at a low price; sometimes, cheap lots are for sale that will rapidly rise in value. A mechanic can soon man age to build himself a Louse, if be can buy the lot, and pay for the materials, and for what labor he can not perform him self ; from the B. A. he can borrow the necessary money, with the assurance that he icill ncetr have to pay it lade. With the money which be has always paid for rent, he can meet his interest, and often a large part of the monthly instalments on his stock, and be bis own landlord at once. In the cities, this is considered the chief advantage of B. A's, and from this they derive their name, One example will illustrate this, and scores of similar in stances have occurred in the single Asso ciation to which I have before alluded. A thrifty day laborer rented a house, in the suburbs of Philadelphia, for which he paid per month. The owner was in want of money, and, having met with frequent losses by dishonest tenants removing sud denly without paying their rent, was glad to Bell his property, although it yielded a large interest. His price was 8650. The tenant had held for a couple of years three shares in the B. A. On these,he borrowed six hundred dollars. The fifty dollars bal ance, and the premium to be paid on the six hundred, be managed to raise from other sources. He bought the property for cash, gave the Association a mortgage on it for (GOO, and transferred his certifi cate of stock as collateral security. lie had now to pay the Association six dollars a month, three dollars interest, and three dollars for monthly instalments. Tho rent he had paid was enough to meet both, and leave six dollars a year for taxes. About seven years have parsed sinco he made his purchase, and in another year he will own that property free of all incumbrance,Aav inj paid fur it almost entirely with the rent that he must have paid to his landlord if he had not been able to luy. I have now pointed ont some of tho prominent advantages of Building Associ ations. There are others, but I need not er enlarge. If any desire should be felt to form one in Lewisburg, and more information be needed, I will cheerfully give what I can. I believe that there are enough here who need such an, insti tution to secure its success, if tho manage ment should be intrusted to suitable bands. C. 8. J. The Judas Coin. Jno. S. Bye, the publisher of tho Dull Street Broker, has a specimen of the coin which Judas Iscariot received for the betrayal of bis Savior. On one sido it bears tbe inscription,"Jcru sa'.em tho Holy" and a figure resembling Aaron's rod. On tho other is inscribed "Shekel of Israel" and tbe imprint of the Pot of Incense. It has been translated by Dr. Raphael, an eminent Hebrew scholar and Babbi of New York. Mr. Dye has cast exact fa similies of the original, and sells them at 25 cts. apiece, or fifty for 8,00. They are intended for pocket pieces. Address John S. Dye, 70 Wall St., N. Y. People make a mistake in paying too much for potatoes. There is more nour ishment in one bushel of good white beans, than in five bushels of potatoes ; and what is better than bean soup,or more palatablo than good old-fashioned "bean porridge V The "age of beans" should bo revived, as well for economy as health. People sbo'd learn to "Irnote beans ;" if they don't, it may be fairly presumed they must pay too much for potatoes. Indeed, it can be no thing but this ignorance of beans that causos the high price of potatoes. They sell now for a dollar. During the age of beans, they sold from a shilling to eigh teen cents a bushel. St. Louis, June 20.
