HEW SUBSCRIBERS.
In acknowledging the favors of many brethren,
and of the complimentary mention they are
pleased to make of onr efforts to please them,
we would suggest to all that this is the most
fit time in the year to commence to take a reli
gious paper, and they will do us, and their friends,
an especial kindness, by introducing our paper
to the attention of their neighbors. A new
name to accompauy the annual remittance is the
kind of compliment we can fully appreciate.
We rejoice that many are doing this, and while ■
•acknowledging onr obligation, we desire to give
a gentle hint to others, that the blessing of doing
and receiving good may be made more general.
The testimony from abroad has never been so
cordial and generally approbatory of the paper,
as within the last few weeks. This is true of
all sections of our circulation. Even those few
who dissent from our views, commend the candid
and Christian spirit in which onr frank and con
scientious utterances have been made. We
thank brethren for their forbearance and charity.
We aim to do our duty in the fear of God, and
we would please alt if we could, and in view of
the manifold difficulties of onr position, the ap
proval and commendation of our patrons are
peculiarly grateful. One agent who is canvass
ing for the paper, says: “I do riot find any
enemies to the American Presbyterian—all
speak well of it”—but we are sure he has not
Visited every locality; at any rate we have no
fears on that account, of the predicted wo, when
“all men speak well of you.”
A WEEK OF PRAYER.
The second day of January was observed in
this city by our churches, agreeably to the ap
pointment of the General Assembly, as a day
for especial prayer for the conversion of the
world. Interesting union public services were
held at Calvary Church at 11 o’clock, A. M.,
and at the Pine Street Church at 4 o’clock,
P. M. It was exceedingly cold weather, and
the attendance was, on that account,.thinner
than is usual on such Occasions; still, the ex
ercises were appropriate and peculiarly impres
sive.
The present week has been set apart, at the
suggestion of missionaries in India, to be ob
served by all Christians, in all parts of the
globe, as a set time for humiliation and earnest
prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
upon the nations of the earth, especially heathen
countries. Extra services are held in very
many of the churches during the week. The
Noon-day Prayer Meeting is conducted with
particular reference to this object; the time be
ing extended from one hour to one hour and a
half. •
On Monday and Tuesday, Sansom Street
Church was excessively crowded, above and be
low, two meetings being held at the same time.
There were from twelve to fifteen hundred pre
sent, and many were obliged to go away, being
unable to secure a place even to stand. The
meetings are presided over by clergymen, and
Rev.
Mr. Pratt, of the Episcopal Church, led the
meeting in the main room on Monday, and a
Methodist clergyman below. Had not such
things in these days ceased to be marvels, it
would have been regarded as a spectacle of mo
ral sublimity to witness men of all denominations
aronnd a common altar unitedly to pray for the
extension of the kingdom of Christ. They
were literally of “one accord in one place,”
beseeching the mercy-seat that the kingdoms of
this world might speedily become the kingdom
of Christ.
The venerable Dr. Notfc, of Union College,
addressed the meeting on Monday with great
appropriateness and effect, and also a mission
ary from the station in India where this request
originated »vas present, and fitly set before the
brethren the wants and dependence of mission
aries upon Divine aid for success. Should this
week be observed elsewhere as in Philadelphia,
its moral effect will be manifest at home in the
increased interest in missions, as well as in its
benign influence upon the nations abroad.

Presbyterian (o. B.)— The Seventh Presbyterian
Church of Ginoinnati, vacated by Rev. Wm. M. Scott,
D. D., on Wednesday evening, 21st inst, voted a call
to Eev. R. G. Brank, of Lexington, Ky.
New Year"s Present. —Some of Rev. Dr. Bethune’s
old parishioners in Brooklyn, mode a social call on
him in this oity, on New Year’s day, and presented
him with $1,500. It was the gift of a few friends,
and the reply was characteristic of the head, and
heart of the Doctor.
Methodism in New York.-— Dr. M’Clintook, in a
speech in New York city before a meeting called to
consider the claims of the Troy University, Btated that
according to good statistics nearly one third of the
church sittings in the State of New York are in Me
thodist churches, and nearly one fourth of the acade
mical students in the State are in Methodist schools.
Rev- P. B. Gurley, D. D., who hasjust been elected
Chaplain to the Senate, is the pastor of the New
York Avenue (late P. Street) Presbyterian Church,
of which President Buchanan is a regular attendant.
The Sandwich Islands. —The recent assessment
shows the totjl valuation of all the real estate and
personal property in the Hawaiian Kingdom as
amounting to over $7,000,000. The total amount of
taxes levied for general purposes, is $70,000; for
schools, $33,568; for roads, $30,247. . .. .
Up to November 9th, 77 whale-ships had arrived
from the'Arctic and Kodeax fleets with a catch of
24,745 barrels of oil ; there bad been 56 arrivals from
the Ochotsk Sea with 3003 barrels,.; and 4 vessels
from the Sperm Whale grounds wit}v!ll4o barrels.
Sixty-nine more vessels are expected- before all the
•fleet of 1859 are in. The price of oil .at Honolulu was
down to 43 cents per gallon.
Religions Things in Minnesota.— The ‘Trael
Journal’says:
„ “This new State, considering its age, s ebility and
population, is in advance'of every other in the North
- West, in laying the foundation of religious institu
tions. There are about fifty Congregational churches,
twenty N. S., and fourteen O. S. Presbyterian, be
sides, perhaps, n greater number of Baptists and Me
thodists. There are probably not Jess than a hum
dred and' fifty Evangelical Churches in' Minnesota,
at the present time, and yet there are several impor
' tnnfc pests destitute, where ministers ore- much
wanted. The soaroity of money and poverty of the
people Involve many whp are labouring as
pioneers in new settlements, in much trial and suf
fering. They heed the sympathies and liberal sup
i- post of their Eastern friends.
Missionary Intelligence.— I The receipts of the
American Board for the month of November, were
$23,369, and the total amount from the Ist of August
to the Ist of December, $57,407.35.
The Missionary Herald for January contains the
Annual survey of the Missions under the care of the
Board, from which we make a few extracts:—
As introductory to the Annual Survey of the Mis
sions, on this fiftieth year of the Board’s operations,
a few quotations from the last Annual Report pre
pared by Dr. Worcester, the first Secretary, (that.for
the year, 1820,) and from a letter written by the
venerated man, a few months later, while on that
journey to the Indian missions, from Which he never
returned, may not be uninteresting to the readers of
the Herald. They will serve to show with how much
satisfaction and gratitude good men then looked upon
what seemed to them as great things already attained
in the missionary work, and at the same time, to mark
the contrast between what had then been and what
hos now been accomplished.
In ,the letter, which is without date, but which is
supposed to have been written in February, 1821, Dr.
Worcester refers to the report, which ho had recently,
on his voyage to the South, ‘‘found strength leisurely
to peruse,” and Says:—“lt, exhibits a system of pro
gressive and extensive operations, with early results
and opening prospects, not unworthy, l am persuaded,
of general attention; and to oue.who has had a per
fect acquaintance with these operations from the be
ginning, in no ordinary degree interesting, and grate
fully impressive.” The report states that the total
receipts of the Board, in 10 years of its operations
then elosed, had been $226,000; and the expenditures
$201,600. The receipts of the previous year had
been In all $39,100. The number of laborers then
employed was twenty-six ordained missionaries, and
twenty-three male and thirty-nine female assistants.
Forty-four of these were located among the Indian
tribes of the United States. .
The number now employed by the Board will be
seen by the following summary:

Religions Movement in Italy. —The Florence
correspondent of the London Himes,'writing on the
30th November, says,: ■
“I some time ago alluded to what Is called ‘evan
gelical Christianity ’ in Tuscany. I said but little
about it, for both the. instinctive prudence and cau
tion of the new sectarians themselves, and the ex
treme wariness and timidity of the government com
bine to hide, as muoh as possible, the candle of these
new lights under a bushel. The movement, however,
seems daily, to assume more significant dimensions.
Two, three, five hundred, and even nearly one thou
sand people meet of. a Sunday evening in this town,
in and about the small room doing duty for a chapel.
The brethren are loudly calling for a larger loca
lity! ' They number, I anf told, at least three hundred
communicants: and though all those who crowd to
the doors of the little congregation are certainly riot
converts (for no less 1 than thirty priests in their cos
tumes were seen in the throng on Thursday last,) still
it is difficult to calculate the results of this affluence
of people to such a place, of this free distribution of
Bibles and religious tracts among persons of all
classes. Nor is the movement by any means limited
to this capital. Everywhere throughout Tuscany,
and still more in the Romagaas, are the books spread,
and people induced to join in the perusal of them.
These new congregations have as yet no definite sym
bols, no established clergy, no appointed teachers;
they profess to ground their faith on the gospel and
on freedom of inquiry. They have as yet no men :of
transcendent ability, or of striking eloquence, or con
spicuous character among them..
Their most gifted preacher is Muzzavella, a Nea
politan, once connected with the Waldenses of Pied
mont, then a seceder from them, and the founder of
an opposite sect, yclept Evangelical Society, in Turin
and Genoa. The man of the highest rank in the fiock
iff Count Pietro Guicciardini of Florence, the same
who years ago suffered imprisonment and.bgnishment
as guilty of the crime of reading the Bible privately
with two or three friends in his own house. Some
of his congregation think the Count rather lukewarm
and timid in the cause; they complain that his faith
does not sufficiently shine through his works. Alto
gether, hitherto the new sect lacks the lead of a real
.chief; it lacks a head, a heart, and a tongue.. -It
seems also to live merely on sufferance, rather ignored 1
and winked at, than really sanctioned by law or
openly acknowledged by the government. Of late,
nevertheless, the talk about it has been loud and in
cessant; people evidently begin to feel, if not inte- •
vested, at least curious about it. Besides the regular
religious services: on Sunday evenings, there are’
meetings in the evenings of the week days for the
purpose of instruction to individuals and organization
to the mass. The great obstacle to it is the state of
perfect apathy, of religious death, in which most Ita
lians, whether professed believers or arrant infidels,
are content to live. Religion, as I had occasion to ;
say before, has too long been the priest's business in :
Italy. One priest-, I am-told, has already forsaken
the Established Church, arid joined the innovators in
Florence. The success of the reformatory movement
greatly depends on the chances of his example being
followed."
Theological Students.-—ln the fire Theological
Seminaries of the Presbyterian Churches (Old School,)
viz.: Princeton, Allegheny, Union, Columbia, and
Chicago, there is an aggregate of-457 students to 416
last year. The largest number, 1?0, w at Princeton
the smallest, 13, at Chicago. ,
American Chapel at Paris.—llev. R. H. Seeley,'
of the American Chapel at Paris, states the following 1 ,
facts: “The original cost of the chapel was between!
sixty and seventy thousand Of this amount
all except sixteen thousand dollars was paid before;
the edifice was opened for divine service. Of this'
sixteen thousand dollars, twelve thousand dollars,
was a permanent loan secured by mortgage, and four,
thousand dollars remained as a floating debt. I have-,
not examined the treasurer’s books, but I believe the|
income of the chapel has been'sufficient to defray all',
its expenses (including the interest on the mortgage,)!
and to reduce the floating debt more than one half. \
llromatt §twlrgt?m« and dvaugiUxt,
Dr. Baird and the Old School.— The Presbyter of
Cincinnati is quite severe on Dr. Baird’s acceptance
of the post of Secretary to the Southern Aid Society.
It says: .“We have heard nothing lately which so
surprises us. That an Old School Presbyterian mi
nister should accept the secretaryship of a New School
pro-slavery voluntary association, which can only
succeed by weakening our own Domestic Board of
Missions, is of difficult solution. We hope that Dr.
Baird will take a dismission and connect with some
Presbytery of the United Synod, where he properly
belongs, if it Is in his heart to labor for the Southern
Aid Society. What has Dr. Baird against our Board
of Domestic Missions? it not preach the gospel
in the South? Do the men of our Church in the East
encourage Dr. Baird to undertake this work ? If so, can
they not accomplish all they desire through our own
Board? Has <nir Board at Philadelphia ever discri
minated against the South in missionary appropria
tions? What would be said of Presbyterians who
should found a Northern Aid Society with an office
in Charleston. S. C., and a Southern secretary with
Northern .‘principles expending. money only in the
•North? 'Would Southern churches’give money for
our exclusive help? Dr. Stiles, the present incum
bent, is to be Professor of. Theology for the United
Sypod, and Dr. Baird should also take off the vail
and declare himself as consecrated to the upbuilding
of that faction.”
Plymouth Church. —The annual renting of pews
in Mr. Beecher’s Church in Brooklyn, took place on
Tuesday evening, the 3d inst. -The competition was
stronger than usual, and the premiums'were greatly
in advance of former years. The church will Beat
about eighteen hundred persons, and is f alwaya crowd
ed with the regular congregation, while every Sab
bath brings a multitude of strangers seeking admit
tance. “The last Independent makes the following
statement as to the result of the late renting:
; Every pew in the church is with a fixed
value, which it retains from year to year. The pri
vilege of the choice of .pews is sold at auction to the
highest’bidder. Thus pew No. 89 (the first choice)
Wasmarked $l2O, and the premium paid for the choice
was $l6O, making the entire proceeds of the pew
$2BO.
The following are the figures of the past and the
cominjifyear:
In 1859, Fixed valuation of pews $12,050 00
Total Premiums for choice, 12,500 00
Total,.. $24,550 00
In 1860, Fixed valuation of pews,...". $12,050.00
“ Premiums for choice of pews, 16,690 00
. ’ « Valuation of aisle-chairs,;... 825 00
. Premiums on aisle-chairs,,.. 2100;
TpW rental for 1860,b............ $29,586.80
Increase of 1860 ov@r 1859 j $5,036.50; a gain of 20
per cent. ..
The sale was attended by about sixteen hundred
rpersons, including, ladies and. gentlemen. A great
deal of good humor pervaded the audience. The loss
of a seat did not, in any instance that we observed,
occasion the loss of temper. Every pew.was rented,
and if two hundred and fifty more had been offered,
it is likely that not one would have remained unsold.
The demand for sittings was never before so great,
and the necessity for a new church of twice the pre
sent, size is now more than ever apparent. When a
. church-building is so small that mere than a hundred
families of its own members cannot get within its
, walls, and when on every clear day or night a thou
sand persons go away unable to get standing-room
within hearing distance, is it not time to build anew?
Religions Movements in Italy— The Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale writes from Florence, that in every
bookshop and bookstall in the city, he found some
edition of the Bible for sale; and that there meets in
public every evening in Florence, a Society of Italians
fort the study of tbe Scriptures. On Sunday these
week-days as many as two hundred meet; they are
.conducted by the voluntary or spontaneous action of
the members, with extempore prayers in Italian, and
careful and reverential study of scripture. Ho adds:
I am told, on authority which I have no right to
dispute, that there are whole villages—two were
named to me—which are recognised as Protestant
villages. In these particular cases some scandal
connected with the priests had led to dissatisfaction
—but the people, instead of sinking into Nothinga
rianism, ha.d at once put themselves into communica
tion with the Protestants of Florence; and by the
study of scripture were making their-Way to a Pro
testant faith. So soon as the Grand Duke was exiled,
the difficulties were abated which had prevented the
introduction of Italian Bibles, and I am told that
within a few days the English Bible Society has been
able in a measure to meet the demands made by the
growing interest in independent personal religious
study.. " ; .
’ Liberia. —The Methodist Episcopal, Baptist, Pres
byterian, and Episcopal Churches of America are
doing a noble work in Liberia. They are furnishing
the m'oriil strength on which the Government must
rely in exigencies of the future, and by which she is
to be established, if established, she may be. The
Methodist Conference of Liberia, at Monrovia, is a
body of intelligent and devoted men, numbering near
one hundred, and having in communion with the
church over thirteen hundred members, many of
whom are natives. Their schools are numerous and
flourishing. It is a Mission Conference, supported
by the Methodist Episcopal Church of the Northern
States.
The Baptist Church is represented here by over
seventy missionaries-and teachers, and, according to
the report of the association Which met in Monrovia,
December, 1857, near one thousand members.
The Episcopal Church has a Bishop, four white
missionaries, and eight colored, three of whom are
natives. Teachers, thirty; twelve of whom are na
tives. Day school scholars,'five hundred and fifty;
three hundred and fifty natives. Communicants, two
hundred and fifty, more than half of whom are natives.
Their most important station is at Cavalla, near Cape
Palmas.
The Presbyterian Chureh has, white; missionaries,
two; colored, four. Teach ere, ttvelve; one high
school, five day schools, one hundred and fifty scho
lars ; communicants, one hundred and eighty.
Most of the missionaries of the Episcopal. Church
are from the South; one of the two white Presbyte
rian missionaries is from Georgia, and the Southern
Baptist Board supports a high school in Monrovia.
The Church Militant.— Dr. Cross, in a letter to
the Charleston Advocate, says that most of the mem
bers of the Texas Conference, Methodist, himself
among the number, carry six shooting pistols. The
reason assigned is border skirmishes with the Ca
manche Indians. Bishop Pierce was present at the
recent session of the conference, having arrived from
California in most wretched health.. .
Anniversary of the Missionary Society.— The
anniversary exercises of the Missionary Society of
the M. E. Church were held at the Halsey street
Chureh, Newark, N. J., Dec. 20th. The Hon. James
Bishop presided. Addresses were made by the Rev.
W. Newell, E. D. Fanolier, Esq., and Bishop Simpson.
At the conclusion of Mr. Fancheris speech Colonel
Chambers moved, by the request of a lady in the con
gregation, that the Missionary Society is able to raise
three hundred thousand dollars for the coming year.
“Then,” said Dr. Durbin, “if the Church will do
that I will live a hundred years.” The resolution
was put and unanimously adopted. A voice in the
house was heard to say, “Put on another hundred
thousand.”
Thomas Pooll, Esq., of Somerset, .England, re
cently died, and liis executor has, according to the
will, paid.over to the English Wesleyan Missionary;
Society the sum of s4s.ooo— being a legacy of
$50,000, less $5,000 duty, to be applied in aid of the
Wesleyan Missiomin India and China.

Charity,—The Central Presbyt rian says justly
that, “At anniversary meetings, i nd sometimes at
prayer meetings,: where several re igious denomina
tions are represented, some of the 1 peakers occupy a
good deal of time in descanting pi the beauties of
brotherly love, and affect to be qul e oblivions to the
points of difference between yaripi s,branches of the
Christian Church. When such .renarks come from
those who are well known to be hectically exclusive,,
and who, at. other times and'placjjs, assume a vali
dity for tbe miniatry and ordinances of- the denomi
nation to which they belong, tflpcli they deny : to
others—thus virtuMy refusing ‘ts|ecogmse them as
true churches of Christ—then, we iay, such: panegy
rics on charity are exceedingly oul -of place, as well
as offensive.” 5 . ' ' ;
American Chapel at Paris.— We understand Rev.
Dr. M‘Clintock, of New York city. has been invited
to take charge of the American Chipel in Paris, and
that he has indicated his acceptanci; of the invitation.
As our readers,are aware, Bev. Mv. Seeley, recently
the officiating clergyman there,irett rned.to this.eoun
try several weeks since. The; Chi ,pel is under the
supervision of the Christian Union, and it is intended
for the service and accommodation :of American re
sidents of all denominations... Dr! M'Clintock is a
distinguished Methodist clergymati' the President of
the Troy University, an able preacher and a sound
scholar. If Dr. M'Clintoek accepts, it must be with
a view of improving his health by a foreign residence.
urtat the Sjmday Schools dp.—' When the
appeal from our churches in Missouri was laid before
the Sunday School Missionary of the Western
Presbyterian Church, (Dr, of this city, they
promptly responded- by voting -a s2s to
the Church Extension Committee, to be applied to
wards the support of those churches and their Sun
day Schools. This same 'Missionary Society has col
lected, in a little over two years past, upwards of
$5OO, of which they have donated to our Church Ex
tension Committee, $75; tothe American Board, $200;
to Father Gleason's Indian Orphan Asylum; $lOO,
and the remainder they have divided amongst the
American Sunday School Union, American Tract So
ciety, and American Home Missionary Society. The
funds have bean raised by small donations weekly
from each scholar and teacher, and the interest has
been kept up in a great degree by corresponding with
missionaries abroad, and reading their letters, fresh
from the West and from foreign lands, to the school.
Several of the teachers, too, hale been made life
members in the various societies, by the donations
above mentioned. Why cannot more of onr schools
organize similar societies, and thus keep up a lively
interest in the doings of our church, and render simi
lar material aid to our various benevolent operations ?

A Kind Act.—The ladies of the First parah.of
Portland, Maine, hare resolved to.ereet a'monument
to the memory; of the late Dr. Nichols, for about fifty
years pastor of that society, and the money is raised
for the purpose. It is to be, we understand, astatue
of St. John the Evangelist, life size, in marble, and*
is to be executed by Akers, who-is 'now. in Italy en
gaged upon the work. The genius of the artist gives
ample assurance that the monument;will be a worthy
memorial of the eminent divine in whose honor it is
to be erected, and also of the affectionate regard of
those who cause it to be done. :

The very oldest person in Boston, a negro woman
named Catherine Boston, familiarly known for many
years as “Old Mother Boston,” died at the age of
one hundred and eleven years! Fpr several years she
has been feeble, though some of her faculties have
been keen-and responsive as in her younger .days.
She was esteemed by the sevgral generations who
knew her. s- : J' '■..
Oliver Howe, of Lyme, N. H., is supposed to have
left for California in theJast steamer from New York,
leaving behind him forged "paper to the amount of
eight or ten thousand .dollars, on which he realized
the cash. Several of the business men of Groton,
Mass., and the Lancaster, 1 Townsend and one of the
Fitchburg banks, also the Bradford (Vt.) Bank, are
among the sufferers.
.Two hundred and seventeen deaths occurred in
this city last week, an increase of twenty-nine over
the week previous.
The reception of Bishop* Odenheimer, of New-
Jersey, on taking possession ofthe Episcopal fesi
dence at. Riverside, (late Bishop Doane’s,) was very
gratifying. The Burlington Dollar Newspaper says:
“When his family took possession of they
found the pantries crowded with everything* that
eithbr housewife tor cook could desire—a barrel of
sugar in -one, of fiour in another—with other imme
diate necessaries in provision, the surprise offerings
of Episcopalians here. Then came a purse of $2OO
from Episcopalians in Mount Holly, to bear the ex
pense of removal from Philadelphia. These dona
tions offered some manifestation of the affection al
ready entertained for Bishop’Qdenheimer.”
The Representatives in Congress are not entitled
to receive pay, till a Speaker is chosen, but Mr.
Glossbrenner, the Sergeant-at-Arms, has advanced
over sixty-six thousand dollars, to accommodate mem
bers, in consideration of which, his re-election is con
sidered sure.
The Virginia House of Delegates has adopted reso
lutions instructing the Committee * on Schools and
Colleges, toihquire into the expediency of reporting
a bill prohibiting school commissioners throughout
the Commonwealth from subscribing to any teacher,

The entire census of Great Britain was taken in
1851 in a single day, and the reports were collected,
compared, and published by the Government within
three months. This was accomplished by the divi
sion of the whole country into districts so small that
a man could collect the statistics in less than a’ day.
The number of these districts was over thirty-nine
thousand, and the blanks previously prepared by the
Government weighed fifty-two tons.

W e condense from the Evening Journal, some facts
connected with the History of Philadelphia, and its
present state, that will interest our readers. The
city itself was founded in 1682, by William Penn,
with a company of English Friends or Quakers. The
land comprised within the province of Pennsylvania
had been ceded to him by Charles IL, iti payment of
a debt due his father from the Government. The
first printing press in this city, and the second in the
hew world, was setup in 1687. In 1689, Penn ob
tained a charter for a High School. The University
of Pennsylvania sprang from a free school projected
by Dr. Franklin, in 1742. In 1765, the merchants
adopted a resolution not to buy or sell goods from
England; -unless the “Stamp Act” was repealed.
The first Congress in America assembled in 1774,. in
Carpenter’s Hall; on Chestnut Street; between-Third
and Fourth Streets. Oh the 4th of July, 1776, the
Declaration of Independence was read from a stand
in the State House yard. The present Constitution
of the United States was framed by a Convention in
this city, in May, 1787. The house occupied by Ge
neral Washington, when President, stood on a lot*
how occupied by Bennett’s clothing store, on Market
Street. The first Bank in this country was the Bank
of Pennsylvania, which was opened in.this city on
the 17th of July, 1780, with a capital of $1,500,000;
its special object was the supply of the American
army with provisions. In 1782, the Bank of North
America went into operation, and the United States
Bank in 1791. And in 1792, the national mint was
established in this city. In 1793, the yellow fever
nearly depopulated the city, and it again became
epidemic in 1798. The Vigilant Fife Engine Com
pany, still in existence, and still efficient, was estab
lished on the 2d of January, 1760.* .
Forty free negroes, who have been expelled from
Arkansas under the terms of the recent legislative
enactment, which prescribed' -that in the event of
their non-departure they should be sold into Slavery,
arrived at Cincinnati on Tuesday, in a destitute con
dition. They were met by a Committee appointed
for the purpose by the colored population of Cincin
nati. It is reported that the upward-bound boats on
the Mississippi River are with; these fugi
tives, flying from their homes. A meeting has been
held in Cincinnati, to devise means of aiding the
twelve families expelled from Kentucky in conse
.quence of Anti-Slavery views.
The proposed subjection of free negroes to slavery
in the Southern States is arousing increased and
gratifying opposition, and in quarters even supposed*
to be deaf to any appeals of justice or conscience in
behalf of this poor and despised race. Judge Krum,
of St. Louis, a prominent lawyer and a leading Ad
ministration Democrat, following the lead of Judge
Catron, of Tennessee, has published an able and
earnest remonstrance against the bill to enslave the
free colored people of Missouri, now before the Legis
lature of that State. The Missouri bill is more bar
barous and summary in its provisions than that pro
posed for the same purpose in any other State.
A young lady returned recently from California to
her'home in Maine. She has been residing at San
Francisco, and when the great defaulting banker,
Meigs, ran ftway from that city, he had in bis posses
sion about $1,200 of her money. Meigs went to
South America, Where he has since resided. When
the lady was ready to proceed home, she proceeded
first to the South American port where Meigs landed,
but found he was residing about three hundred miles
up the country. Nothing daunted she immediately
started after him, recovered four hundred dollars of
her money, and returned in safety. ' Such ton exhibi
tion of “pluck” would be unexampled in 1 any but a
“Yankee girl.” ■ '
y® Hoarseness. —Take the whites of two eggs,
and beat them with two spoonsful of white sugar; graie
m a little nutmeg; then add a piutof luke-warm water,
otir well, and drink often. Repeat the prescription if
necessary, and it wii! cure the most obstinate cases of
hoarseness in a short time.
Abundance of Weeds. —An English botanist dis
covered, by careful examination, 7600 weed seeds in
ucfy i C ov ? r 12,600 in a pint of congress seed,
.19.410 m a pint .of broad clover, and 25,000 of Dutch
clover seed. In a single plant of black mustard he
counted over 8,000 seeds, and jn a specimen of char
lock 4,000; the seed of a single plant of common dock
produced. 4,700 little docks. ■ The white daisy has over
400 seeds in each flower, and sometimes fifty flowers
from one root. ,
Big and Small Salaries . —ln a speech before the
Northern Baptist Education Society, Dr. Ide “referred
to the remark often made, that we have too many mi
nisters, and said the trouble is, that we have too many
nl ',’| ters are waiting for and seeking tlie $2,000
and $1,500 salaries. We haven’t enough little mi
nisters—those who are satisfied with small parishes
and small salaries, and witting to labor self-denyingly
for the glory of God.” The Doctor’s remark is true
enough; but would he be one to go to a small parish 1
Savings Banks .—The New York Observer gives
the.following interesting fact:
On'a recent occasion, James W. Gerard, Esq., in
addressing the four hundred operatives of Messrs.
Haughwout & Co., of Broadway, alluded to the im
pprtance of saving their Bpare earnings, and, as an
aid thereto,; recommended the use of Savings Banks.
A few days afterwards, he received a letter from Mr.
Haughwout, stating that upwards of one hundred of
ttieir operatives had opened accounts in Savings
Banks; depositing, in the aggregate, several thousand
dollars. The advice given to Messrs. Haughwont’s
workmen is equally applicable to thousands of others
in this city and elsewhere,”
Heavy Debt*;— The debt of Piedmont, which was
about £4,000,000 in 1858, has Increased, up to the
present time, to £31,000,000, and the stipulations of
V illafranca have caused a further increase of abont
The total debt is now upwards of
£48,000,000; but, of. this Bum about £4,000,000 has
b ?| n contracted for the construction of State railways
and other improvements.
. Statistics of 1859. —The number of railroad ac
cidents in the United States in 1859, by which life
was lost, was seventy-nine; killed, one hundred and
twenty-nine;, wounded, four hundred: and eleven.
This does not include accidents caused by the care
lessness of travellers theihselves. In 1858, there were
eighty-two such accidents, one hundred and nineteen
lives lost, and four hundred and seventeen injured.
; The number of steamboat accidents during the
year 1859. was twenty-one: persons killed, two hun
dred and forty-two; wounded, one hundred and forty.
This is a decrease from those of the previous year.
: During the past year 20 persons died in the United
States over 100 years of a^e.
A-Melancholy Event— Tho Ballston (N. Y.)
‘Journal’gives the following painful incident, which
should serve • as a sad warning to many a young
manr ;
Mr;'Alfred Hamilton, of this town, was brought
before, the Court of Sessions, held in this village last
week, for forgery, and pleaded guilty. He was sen
tenced to Clinton prison for tw.o years. This is in
deed a, sad ease. Some few years ago, Mr. Hamil
ton was the owner of a good farm in Ballston, and
the possessor of forty or fifty thousand dollars, be
sides ; hut, like hundreds of other young men placed
in similar circumstances, he became the viotim of
strong; drink, and squandered all, and has finally
closed his brief career in State Prison.
