There are no church deaconshipa made vacant by Charley's departure, we belleve, but the removal of himself and family will cause vacancies in social and literary circles here that may not soon be filled, as they filled them. One of Charley's young friends recently remarked, that f the cry of 'Red Blood' should ere long be borne on the niglit windt from the northwest, it must not be taken as the forerunner or follower of some dreadful deed.

And thus the intent of the law was successfully evaded.
