BRBCJ£HJJHDGE'S LETTER TO THE VICE-PRESIDENT. t, Dr, Robert J. Breckinridge, the noted Divine of Kontuoky, haa written and published aletter addressed to his nephew, the Vice-President, on the State of the Nation, It is a strong voice of warning at the right time and from the right quarter. We would be glad to publish the entire letter, but have only room for the following extended extracts which contain the sum and substance of the whole. After a brief in troduction he says: “As to the dissolution of the American Union— the settled and deliberate conviction of Kentucky is that it is no remedy for anything whatever, but that it is itself thedirestof ait calamities. Kentucky never had any existence as a Commonwealth, except as one of tho States of the American Union. She never had a disloyal thought towards that Union, or towards; any sister State; she never for one instant desired to enlarge her rights under the Federal Constitution— or to exercise any of those rights offensively—or to deny to others their equal rights under that Consti tution. Wholly unabie to comprehend how it can I be to the interest of any State to secede from the Union, or how the right to secede can be considered anything else but purely revolutionary —she sees no thing in the past conduct of the Federal Government to justify secession if it were a constitutional remedy; nothing in the aspect of the times promising any thing but disaster to the country, to every seceding State, and most especially to herself, from the appli cation of any such remedy, whether by war, by re volution, by the formation of new confederacies, or by the secession of individual States. As far as she oan understand, it is mainly the unruly passions of unreasonable men, and the violent assertion of du bious, or, to scythe least, extreme rights—and the madness of political parties in their struggle for power, that have brought the country to its present perilous condition. The true remedy for such disor ders is not the. breaking up of the Government, but the due enforcement of the laws; and posterity will execrate to the end of time whatever Government shall allow the lawless conduct of any portion of the people to run into secession, or to drive others into it- The lives of traitors ought not to weigh a feather against the peace or security, much less against the very existence of the nation; and their blood cements instead of weakening the foundations of society. Civil war itself within the Union, horrible os civil war always is, is necessarily temporary, and is* con sistent with the ultimate preservation of everything distinctive in our present nationality, and in all our institutions, general and particular; and a universal civil war at this time, within ilte Union, could hardly tail to end in the permanent establishment, for the w hole country, of just what our fathers established from 177(3 to 17«9. But after the division of the Union upon the slave line, and the necessary break ing out of a fierce and interminable war along a fron tier extending from the Atlantic ocean to the western border of Missouri, no man can foresee a state of the case when peace can be ever preserved along that fron tier, as well as it can be in the U nion, and every man can see that any future union of the divided portion of the Confederacy, if any union shall ever be possible, must he upon the very terms which now exist. The inevitable effect of the recent events at Harper's Furry, taken all together, must be to give a degree of security to the whole slavo frontier within the Union, which no part of it can ever have out of the U nion; and the handful of white men and negroes whose follies and crimes were consummated there would probably be the last, as they were the first to try such an attempt. The wholo case ought to be, to every reflecting man, a demonstration of the ines tiroablo value of union, both as it seta bounds to the passions of men, and as it euablea us to punish men by due course of law, instead of by private or public war. . , “ Kentucky is through choice a slave State. When forming her first Constitution in 1792, when forming her Bocond Constitution in 1798, and when forming her present Constitution in 1850, the whole subject was carefully considered by her people, and each time decided in tho same manner; and it isfiprobable that at the present moment there is less disposition amongst her people to make any change on that sub ject than at any former period. 'Two facts of great importance must not, however, be overlooked. The first is, that no considerable portion of the people of Kentucky have ever held extreme views in favor of slavery, while a very large proportion of the people have tolerated without preterringllt; and while the common opinion of the people has alwayshoen, that the relative growth of tuo white over the black race would be greater and greater continually, and at some future, perhaps distant period, slavery would become an insignificant element in the condition of the State. The second fact is, that Kentucky has all along been exposed along a frontier of seven hundred miles of river border, to greater evils and losses than all the slave States which have no free frontier put together; yet she has never for a moment manifested any sense of alarm or insecurity—made use of any threats, clamor or abuse, or entertained a single thought of secession. She has uniformly acted with calmness, moderation and dignity; her citizens have uniformly relied upon the laws for redress against such as law could reach, and against the lawless promptly re dressed themselves, leaving to those who did not ap prove her ways, to amend their own, or choose their own remedy against her. Undoubtedly she has had great cause to be dissatisfied; undoubtedly her people are the last in the world to put up with either inju ries or insults: undoubtedly she would.be prompt to take up arms against any odds, when she thought no hope was left but in arms; and undoubtedly whoever puts her to that extremity, will see good reason to regret having done so. What I assert is, that for all that has come and gone, she sees no reason for the ruin of the country, none for the dissolution of the Union, none for the secession of any State by revolu tion or otherwise, none for allowing herself to be forced into a position fatal to her by the fanaticism of a portion of the people of tho North, and the pas sions of a portion of the South. Of the fifteen slave States, (if Delaware can properly be so considered,) the eleven which lie further South than Kentucky have, as members of the 'Federal Union, a thousand times less cause of complaint than she has, and will not encounter the thousandth part of her peril if the Union is dissolved.. It is Maryland, Virginia, Ken tucky, and Missouri that have borne all the loss and annoyance, and are to bear all the impending peril. It is to these four States, therefore, that the decision of the national aspects of these impending perils em phatically appertains; so far as that decision apper tains to the slave States at all. And every wise and every generous impulse ought to prompt the people of the other eleven slave States to forbear whatever course of action is disapproved by these four border States. And these four great States are hound by ■the highest considerations, both of patriotism and of interest, to throw their united weight against all sudden, rash and unconstitutional action*on the part of the slave States, and, if the worst comes, to secure for themselves a position compatible at once with their honor, their freedom and their safety. In like manner the border Free States, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and lowa, ought to remember that their borders are as much exposed as ours, and that multitudes of considerations, besides numerical force, enter into all warfare, and, above all, into border war. So that on them, with reference to the numerous Free States behind them, rests the duty and the right of deciding the national aspeet of the subject of slavery, on the. free sides of the line, just as it rests with the border slave States on the other side. It may be confidently asserted that pos terity will hold these six border Free States and these four border slave States responsible for the fate of this nation at the present crisis. ***** * ■ * * The question of slavery in the Territories, practi cally developed as that question was in the ease of Kansas, has probably had greater influence than any other, both upon the present condition of political parties,, and in bringing the public mind to its pre sent agitated state. The issue to which the question in its abstract form and in the Democratic party has been brought is this: that on one side the people of the South very generally believe and claim that the Supreme Court has decided that every slaveholder has the constitutional Tight to take slaves into every Territory, and neither Congress nor the people of the Territory have any power to prevent this; in other words, that every Territory is, by the Constitution of the United States, a slave Territory. On the other side, the Democratic party at the North very gene rally and decidedly repudiate these statements as un true and these claims as''monstrous; add assort for the people of each Temtoryconstitutional power to determine and regulate for themselves the question of Slavery. In the meantime the Republican party, perhaps unanimously, assert that Congress has .com plete power to exclude slavery from all the Territo ries, and desire this power to be exercised in every case as it has been in several. Almost the entire North is therefore directly arrayed against both the fact and the right of what the greater part of the South asserts is one law of the land under tbe deci sion of the Supreme Court. In the South, itself, however, there is a further and singular development of opinion. It has been attempted in Kentucky and other Southern States to make it a part of the politi cal creed of the opposition to demand of Congress a slave code for the Territories; while in the same re gion non-intervention by Congress, except in extre mity, if at. all, has appeared to he the doctrine of the Democratic party. The result is that the entire North repudiates, and under existing circumstances will continue to repudiate, the idea that the Federal Con stitution or the Supreme Court makes all the national Territories slave, while almost the entire South be lieves and claims that all the national Territories are slave by that Constitution. The dispute is enlarged, not settled not even tionferred This is a most ca lamitous result of attempting to turn over questions preeminently political to tribunals wholly judicial, as ■ ifyablie j ttian-weils wamwited-hrsuapDaing that great nations in the highest state of political excitement believed any more in the infallibility of judges, than they aid in the infallibility of Senators, Kings, or Popes. Even if the decision of the Supreme Court had been so clear that no man could doubt what was decided, and so cogent that no man could gainsay its justice as between the parties to the particular cause then heard, it would have been a miracle if the deci sion had settled any political question. Its main ef fect was obliged to be—let the decision be what it might—to exasperate all parties, and to render any peaceful adjustment of any aspeet of the slave ques tion far more difficult than before. In truth, the Constitutional right which the South supposes she has Becured, can be of no practical value, even.if it were universally conceded. For if she remains in the Union, she cannot carry on the foreign slave-trade, and unless she ean do that she cannot profitably send slaves enough into any territory we possess—nor masters enough with those she may send, to prevent their emancipation as soon as the territory becomes a State. The experiment in Kansas is surely decisive. If, on the other hand, any portion of the South will deem it a sufficient reason to secede, that more slaves may be imported from Africa, and new slave Terri tories formed, either half the slave States will not se cede for that reason—or, if all secede and a confede racy of all tho slave States is formed, that confederacy cannot he expected to allow the African slave-trade to be renewed. With regard to slavery in the Terri tories and the power of the General Government over the subject, there never could be any subject con cerning which wise, just, moderate, and forbearing conduct was more imperatively commanded—none with regard to which the opposing interests of the two great divisions of the nation ought to be treated with more scrupulous fairness. If ever such a temper and such a spirit shall return to the counsels of the Republic, the temporal and disputed power of Con gress over the subject cannot fair to be exerted in some manner satisfactory to opposing claimants.' But so long as parties, on one side or the other, seek by every means to assert extreme claims, irrespective of equally extreme claims in others, nothing remains but to fight the question out in each Territory, or, what is worse, to fight it out over the ruins of the Re public, or, what is worse of all, break up the Union and fight it out afterwards. As a Southern man I deplored, and still deplore, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise as a great political error, preeminently injurious to the South. As an American citizen I deplore the fearfully undue importance which the control by Congress over slavery in the Territories has been made to assume in our national polities. **.* * * * With all possible veneration for the Federal Consti tution, we are not to forget that it was made for us, not we for it j and, with ail loyalty both towards the national and our State Governments, let us remember that the highest of all loyalty is to society itself, which is above every form it can possibly put on. Under all forms of society, the all-pervading questions are politi cal questions—questions which never can be perma nently settled in Free Governments, except through representative bodies, and then in accordance with the public conscience. The question of Slavery as it relates to the nation, falls under these general considerations in a remarkable manner. Thus, iu the first place, Slavery was almost universal, and the Slave States the lfnmense majority at the formation of the Federal Con stitution ; now the Slave States are in a minority, and that minority both of States and people is steadily be coming relatively weaker. In the second place, there hns occurred a prodigious change in the value of slaves and of the product of their labor, as well as in the state of public opinion on the subject of Slavery itself. At the formation of the Federal Constitution, there was no particular hostility to Slavery in one section above another, and no particular zeal for its extension and its perpetuity in any section. But at present, the great majority in most of the Slave States, zealously desire both the extension and the perpetuity of Slavery, and the almost unanimous population of them all regard it as so completely involved in the very fabric of society, that no interference with it from without can be en dured ; white the great mass of the people of the North consider the institution positively evil, and an immense party amongst them is organized on the conviction that the interests of the Free-States and of the white race are jeoparded by the claims of the Slave States, and their alleged control of the Federal Government in the interests of Slavery—the repression if not the total extinction of which is what the South understands them as seeking. Now, looking at the matter in this light, and rejecting all pretexts, the solitary condition which can Batisfy the North, is that the South should claim nothing under the Constitution which that Con stitution, fairly interpreted, did not always secure to her, And the solitary condition which can satisfy the vital -necessities of every Slave State is, that the Con stitutipti shall be so interpreted, and the Government so administered, that it shall enjoy the same peace, security and equality of rights in the Union, which it would enjoy if it were a Free State. . What seems to me clear at present is, that no such violation of either of these conditions has yet occurred as to justify either g and Gtnttutt party in proceeding to such extremities as would be justifiable if it had occurred. And it is equally clear that'the apprehension of an impending violation of the rights of either party, cannot j ustify any irregular, much less any extreme proceeding, any further than.may he necessary and effectual to prevent that impending vio lation. Moreover, the highest and most enduring in terests of all parties conspire with their sacred obliga tions, binding them to act with mutual justice, good faith, and forbearance. But suppose the dominant party at the North to have already violated beyond en durance the solitary condition with which the safety of tbe south allows her to be satisfied; even then, it is the furthest possible from being true that the secession of a portion of the Slave States, or the disruption of the Union on the slave line, is a necessary, a wise, or even an allowable alternative. It is true the States are sov ereign States. But it is equally true that the nation is a nation—the American people a people. Great na tions cannot suddenly disappear like acloud of insects; nor do powerful nationalities fade in day, like a flower of the grass. It took the' Roman Empire a thousand years to die; and the Hebrew nationality has survived through all the possible fortune of four thousand years. To rend a nation in twain is a far more terrible procedure than for a nation to recover itself by an internal struggle. Nothing can be more certain than that Slavery cannot be perpetuated on this continent by means of the rending of this nation. With a sin gle nationality like ours, internal struggles, no mat ter how often they may occur, can never be greatly protracted, and can never fatally arrest the progress of society. But in precisely sueh a case as ours, the permanent rending of the nation is a catastrophe, the progress of which promises nothing so assuredly as the mutual dissolution of both the parts, and the end of which can produce nothing more certainly than the total defeat of the avowed object of its perpetra tion. The firm determination of every portion of the Union to maintain its rights within the Union, under every extremity, would soon put an end to all neces sity for any portion of it to elect between terrible means of doing so. It is the holding in reserve of this idea of rending the nation, it is the weakening of the idea of our glorious nationality, that gives vi gor, if not existence, to so many ideas which can escape being traitorous only by denying that we are a people, or have any nationality. In the restoration of that great idea there is a moral force competent to save the country by ordinary means, even in sueh a crisis as this. Or, if there is not, there is a practical force in it competent to save the country by arms, whenever law is silent, and arms are the only remedy. It is horrible to reflect that the children of the Revo lution might be obliged to shed each other’s blood. llow much more horrible to shed it in such a manner that oceans of it could never restore what we had de stroyed, while every drop of it would be an eternal testimony against our folly! For my part, I am not ashamed to confess the depth of my love for my whole country, and the mingled sorrow and indignation with which I witness every attempt to weaken amongst the people the sense of what we owe to the mother of us all. No people ever did anything glorious who did not believe in God, who were not faithful to oaths, and who did not love their country. When I reflect on what God has al ready done for us, and already done by us for his own glory and for the advancement of the human race; when I consider what our position and our influence amongst the nations of the earth must be when we become a hundred millions; when I try to appreciate the_ necessity of just such a power on earth, and the majesty of its beneficent and irresistible exercise, my very heart throbs with overpowering joy and exulta tion that such a destiny is reserved for my people, that such a refuge and inheritance is kept in store for man. I thank God continually that the dust of my ancestors mingles with this soil; that the hands of my kindred have labored on these sublime monu ments; that the valor of my friends was a part of the cost by which all has been secured; and that the lot of the inheritance of my posterity appertains to sueh a land and such a people. As for the South, taken in its widest sense, God has cast my lot there, and I have been loyal to her; all the more loyal, that I have been neither blind to her errors, nor ignorant of her perils. As for Kentucky, if I have left undone anything I could have done for her honor, her interest, or her glory, she knows how joyfully I would redeem that lack of service. But Btill I love my country; still I am an American citizen. And I deny, with uplifted hands, the right of any Court, any President, any Congress, any State, any combination of States'under heaven, to abolish from amongst men that highest of all human titles. I have worn it as a orowu'all my days on earth; and I implore you, by our common blood and common name, by all the love so many no ble hearts bear for you, and all the hopes they che rish concerning you, so to quit yourself in this day of trial and rebuke, that you shall bear that title proudly, long after my gray hairs are uuder the green sod. Robert J. Breckinridge. Bredalbane, Ky., January 9, 1800. gWigiiffM fttMligran. Rev* David Torry, of Delhi, has been called to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Ithaca, N.Y. Allen St. Presbyterian Church N. Y. City This church, whose pulpit has been vacant since the middle of November last, recently made a call on Rev. Win. W. Newell, D. D., of Syracuse, to become their pastor. Dr. Newell has accepted the call, and wiTl enter upon his field of labor at once. . The Unconverted World —Have our readers ever considered bow large al portion of tlie inhabi tants of our globe are without God and without hope in tbe world? The population of tbe globe is esti mated in round numbers at one thousand millions. Of these, 330 millions are the followers of Buddh, ad herents of a system of utter Atheism, which acknow ledges no God, no Redeemer, no resurrection from the dead; 100 millions ar e the worshippers of Brahma, Yisbnu, and Siva, the most subtle and sophistical of all the religions of the heathen, and at the same time the most utterly obscene and licentious; 150 millions are Mohammedans; 100 millions are African. Idolaters, worshiping Sticks, stones, or animals, as fetiches, and given up to the most debasing idolatry; 10 millions are idolatrous inhabitants of the Islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans; 60 millions are con nected with the Greek Church, and though versed in its corrupt creeds and image worship, know not the true God; 150 millions are Roman Catholics, and though individuals among them may even through its mummeries have found Christ, yet the great masses are ignorant of Him. Finally, 100 millions are no minally Protestants, but how small a portion even of these are really Christians! Truly there is need to pray, “Thy kingdom come.” Ithaca Presbytery. —At its recent meeting, Rev. Wbi. Winner, D. D., and John Esty, Esq., Elder, were appointed as delegates to the next general as sembly. The. Rev. LouirKellogg, of Trumansburgh, and Rev. D. C. Hagen, alternates. Rev. Oliver Bronson, an eloquent young clergy man of Janesville, Wisconsin, died suddenly in that place on the ,10th inst., in his thirty-fourth year. He was the son of Mr. Greene C. Bronson, of New York. Colored Communicants.— The Presbytery ofSoa noke, Virginia, Old School Presbyterian, has ad dressed a pastoral letter, on the instruction of the co lored people, to the churches under its care, and or dered the same to be read in all the churches of the Presbytery. It commences by saying: “Among the important interests of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, which have claimed our special attention since the organization of the Presbytery in April last—that the work of the Lord may be vigorously and efficient ly carried forward within our bounds —the religious instruction of the colored people is hardly to be placed second to any other.” In the Presbytery of Charleston, S. C., 1637 out of 2889 members, or considerably over one-half, are co lored. In the whole Synod of South Carolina, 5,009 out of 13,074, are colored members. The Presbyteries of Mississippi and Central Mississippi, of Tuscaloosa and South Alabama, of Georgia, of Concord and Fay etteville, also show how many churches with large pro portions of colored communicants, from one-third to one-seventh of the whole. In the wbole.of the above mentioned bodies, there are 9,076 colored, out of 33,667 communicants. Among the churches of these Presbyteries, we find twenty with an aggregate co lored membership of 3,600, or an average.of 130 to each. Rev.E. H.Beckles, for some years Rector of St. Peter's at St. Christopher’s, in the diocese of Antigua, West-Indies, has-been appointed by the church of England, Bishop of Sierra Leone, Africa. - Montreal —The Witness of last week says that “The Union Prayer Meetings in this city for the con version of the world, on Tuesday, in the United Pres byterian Church, and on Thursday evening in the American Presbyterian Church, were well attended, and pervaded by an excellent spirit. We trust such union in prayer will result in enlarged catholicity of spirit, and in a greater union of effort for tho conver sion of souls.” The papers, from many parts of Canada, show that the prayer-meetings of the second week of this month were well attended and interesting. In Toronto, as well as Montreal, they extmded into the following week. T^-vO.; , ]r" r Presbyterianism in Boston— The Boston Re corder says that the Unitarian meeting house in this city, formerly occupied by the Congregation of Rev. Mr. Coolidge, has been soldito the Presbyterian con gregation, of which Rev. Mr. Magili is pastor. The house is nearly new, and originally cost $BO,OOO. It was bought by the Presbyterians for $35,000. On the Sabbath before the lastjthe house was opened for Presbyterian worship. The pastor preached in the morning and Dr. Blagdenin the afternoon. This church has been aided in procuring its house of wor ship by its wealthy friends, in New York and other places. We rejoice that another evangelical church in this city is thus placed oh a strong foundation. The First American Missionaries at Japan.— A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, writing from Yokohama, Japan, unjer date of November 7th, communicates the following-in regard to the American Missionaries in Japan: j ' At Shanghai, upon our trrival from the Gulf of Pechele, we met with the fipst party of missionaries from the United States on ijieir way to Japan. In deed, we entered the the same time, and anchored side by side) nearly. 70ne gentleman and his wife, Dr. Hepburn] were from your city of New York, and were sent by the Old School Presby terian Chureh; while Rev. Mr. Blown and wife, Rev. Mr. Yerback and wife, and Dr. Simmons and wife, are under commission from the Dutch' Reformed Church. I have had the pleasure of making the ac quaintance of all, and am fissured that a better hand could not be found for this field. Mr. Verbaek has gone to Nagasaki, while tie rest,have come here, or rather to Kanagawa, both places being substantially one, only three miles being between them, and all that distance lined with vipages. As they left Shanghai in a sailing-vessel, though three days before us, we pissed them as we entered the Bay of Jeddo. They' easily: obtained a house through the kind assistance of Gov. Dorr, U. S. Con sul—a Buddhist temple, With its spacious out-build ings, heretofore occupied) by the priests—and both the temple and the houses are being repaired; and as I entered into the tempfe,; I saw that all the idols vanished at the the heralds of the cross. I have spent a fortnight under that strange roof, hardly able to persuade myself that I was spending the morning with my countrymen. For all the world, there was the Yankee stove and parlor lamp —all like home. But notiso much as when the Bible was reverently read, the hymn sung to a sweet fami liar tune, and all knelt down to pray; it was home, not in its resemblances and memories, but in its life and reality. No opposition was made to their having the house and temple, though the officials perfectly well understood their character. Indeed, whilo I was there, on one or two occasions, the governor and a number of officials made a call, to ascertain if the repairs were going on satisfactorily, as well as to pay their respects to our countrymen. Mrs. Hepburn offered a plate of grapes to each, carrying it in her own hands—the first time Buch a civility was ever offered to tbe Japanese by a foreign lady. The officials looked on amazed, but were quite courteous, and evidently pleased. Everything, there fore, has been auspicious;. All the people are cour teous, as well as the officials, and crowds are continu ally around thejr gate, giving the common salutation, “Ohio,” meaning, “Hefir yrnilpo?” or- “Good morning?” But the future! on how many delicate and unseen causes is it dependent? But all under God. If I might be allowed more especially to offer a word of counsel to the Christian public at home, of all denominations, I would:-urge them to send no ad ditional Missionaries for the present, as Nagasaki and Kanagawa are the only places they can now oc cupy, and a crowd at these two points might arouse the jealousy, if not the oposition of the Government-. In the coarse of a single year, events will determine the course to be pursued. Rev. T. L. Cnyler has been invited to the charge of the Presbyterian Church, (N. S.) Newark, recently under the care of Rev. Henry A. Rowland, P. D. Geneseo, N. Y. —The edifice erected by the Cen tral Presbyterian Church, (O. S.) Geneseo, N. Y., was dedicated to the worship of God on the 3d inst. Rev. G. C. Folsom, of the First Presbyterian Church, read the scriptures, and Rev. Dr. Murray, of Elizabeth, N. J., preached. The Rev. F. DeYE-Ward) formerly pastor of the First Church* is the pastor of the Cen tral Church. Rev. S. P. Leeds has accepted the unanimous invitation of the First Presbyterian Churcb of Stam ford, Conn., to occupy their pulpit during the ab sence of their pastor, Rev. Robert R. Booth, in Europe. fgIWS tlf Wwl. Messrs, Ticknor find Fields, of Boston, have pre sented to Harvard College Library sixty-six volumes of their publications, including the entire set of their beautiful edition of the Waverley Novels, handsomely bound in calf. The Librarian states that'this firm have probably given to the College more books than have been given by any other firm since the College was founded. Twenty-six persons, agW one hundred and over, have died in the UnitedSfShtes in 1859. The oldest was C cesar, a colored man in Louisiana, aged 138. The New York Observer goes in for the party that will nominate for the Presidency the Hon. Edward Everett, Gen. Scott, or some other man not involved in the contests that now agitate the two great parties of this country. The same paper informs us that re quests for prayer may be sent by mail, directed' to “Fulton Street Prayer Meeting, New York!" Case, who had just organized a flourishing school for young ladies at Salem, Ala., has been exiled, and his school broken np. He is a Northern man, but not an abolitionist. Messrs. D. Appleton & Co. will soon issue an Ame rican edition of the great work of the Rev. George Rawlinson, which has just appeared in England, on “The Historical Evidences of the Truth of the Scrip ture Records, with Special Reference to the Doubts and Discoveries of Modern Times." This will be uni form with their magnificent edition of “Rawlinson’s Herodotus." The substance of the work was deli vered in the form of Bainjjton Lectures. J. E. Tilton & Co., Boston, have in press a vo lume entitled “Home Recreations," being rules and suggestions for one hundred Tableaux Vivants, de tailing all the-minutia) of postures, costumes, lights and shades of this parlor amusement. * Gould & Lincoln, Boston, having purchased the advance sheets, of the Murrays, will soon issue, uni form with Hansel’s Bampton Lectures, “The His torical Evidences of the Truth of the Scripture Re cords, with special reference to the Doubts and Dis coveries of Modern Times,” by Rev. Geo. Rawlinson. The copious notes will he translated in the Boston edition. ...... The Second volnme of Hopkins’ History of the Puritans will appear about the Ist of February.) J. G. Maxwell & Son have contributed one hun dred dollars to the Lawrence Fund, in behalf of the operatives employed at their Ladies’ Trimmings Fac tory at Eleventh and Chestnut Streets. So far Phi ladelphia has contributed about $l5OO to the Law rence Relief Fund. Brown, Taggard & Chase, of Boston city, have in press the complete works of Lord Bacon, to be issued in superb style in twelvecrown octavo volumes. They intend to make this new edition of Bacon, for whieh a great necessity exists in the market, the beginning of a series of standard works of the first class. Every effort will be made to issue the volumes in a style of excellence and magnificence that shall surpass any thing yet produced by book makers at home or abroad. Messrs. Houghton & Co., of the noted Riverside press at Cambridge have these works in hand. The books will be printed upon the finest tinted paper, and hound in a style which, for beauty and durability, will com mend itself to all tastes. Lord Bacon’s works will be followed by a complete edition of the writings of Sir Walter Scott, including his novels and poems, and his life by Lockhart. The trouble at Harvard College, Mass., has excited the students to such a degree that, they have held a mass meeting in the gymnasium, and unanimously adopted a series of resolutions earnestly:protesting agaiiist the introduction of an armed police to enforce the discipline of the College, ns a measure uncalled for, unprecedented, and fraught with dangerous con sequences. They declare that there are proper and efficacious means in the hands of the faculty for pre serving order, without resorting to these extreme measures, which tend to scenes of violence and blood shed; that they are actuated by no rebellions spirit, and so on. It is surprising how unruly and boister ous the professors of colleges universally are, and what remarkably quiet, inoffensive, lamb-like per sonages the students invariably are. But if the fa culty won't behave themselves, the students must kick up a row occasionally. A correspondent of the Netvburyport Herald says that the recent disgraceful proceedings at Harvard college originated in dislike to the theology of Prof, Huntington, which the students manifested in various ways. First, they petitioned to be allowed Unitarian services. Then they oiled the benches, defaced the chapel, and taking the Bible, sent it to an orthodox society in the West, with the respects of the Harvard faculty. The faculty were surprised at receiving an acknowledgment of the gift, not knowing what had become of the lost book. The Mew York Common Council has decided not to “sow the city with salt,” the members evidently wanting its destruction postponed until the expira tion of their official terms. In the city of Troy one hundred and fifty persons are now licensed to retail spirituous liquors. We fear the rum barrel will prove another wooden horse to the Trojans. The ship Flora Temple, with eight hundred coolies, bound to Havana, had been wrecked in the China sea. It is stated that Baron Rothschild has purchased the St. Petersburgh and Moscow; Railroad for $64,000,000. The cash will afford a seasonable re lief to the Russian government. We learn that the Trustees of Genesee College, at their meeting in Lima, N. Y., last week, elected Prof. Lattimore, of the Indiana Asbury University, to the chair of Chemistry and Natural History, made vacan t by the resignation of Prof. Hopkins. An Irishman, who was very near-sighted, about to fight a duel, insisted that he should stand six paces nearer his antagonist than the other did to him, and that they should both fire at the same time. Archbishop Hughes has formally discarded the established Catholic papers of New York, and'has proclaimed a new sheet called the Metropolitan Re cord as his Organ, which he urges all ; good;'priests and good Catholics to patronise. He promises that it shall not be in the interest of any political party. The thoroughly political .character of the Bishop’s or gans heretofore is well known. It is suggested that his new course is an example of his priestly sagacity; that ho knows all the old political parties are fast dis integrating, and wishes to stand ready for a new, or at least a neutral position, when they shall be no more. The Bishop is an astute diplomatist. Lord Palmerston, in his seventy-sixth year, as lively and as versatile as Rover in the old comedy, recently delivered a lecture at Romney, very valuable for its practical truth, on the mode of building cottages, and how to reform untidy people by makiDg their homes comfortable. He indulged in a flying dissertation on short hand, and the enormous strides which the science of stenography has made in our day; ho threw out valuable suggestions on the subject of practical farm ing, and showed that the stingy husbandman was a bad political economist who gave unremunerative wages to his laborers. In short, his lordship was Overflowing with practical wisdom, the fruits of long experience and observation. Tuesday of last week was observed in Lawrence as a day of fasting and prayer. Religious services were held in the different churches. It- was a season of unusual solemnity. The number of dead already as certained is about 120. Other bodies are undoubtedly under the ruins. The amount contributed for the relief of the suffering has reached nearly $14,000. NOTICES.

WORTH READING. A middle aged man, highly esteemed for his strict in tegrity and Christian eharact.-r, in the Presbyterian Church for jbe last twenty years, is the inventor of a farming implement of ghext utility. It does double the amount of work ever heretofore done by anything of its i kind; and for durability, it will last from father to j grand-son. It does its work with great regularity and j preciseness, and can be worked by any boy who can drive : a horse, and is in great demand. And for the want of the necessary means to bring it properly before the pub- i lie, the Inventor asks for one or more of his Christian brethren who may read this article, and have the means, with some business qualifications, to take part with him in his enterprise.
