TOR bin:TING Or TOEmErtiogi BOARD.
The Great Feast of "Jubilee" is now over. Of
the five thousand that wore present, not only did
they all eat and wore filled, but there remain
more than twelve baskets- of the• fragments to be
distributed to the friends of missions threughout the
world. The weather was everything that wo could
desire; the reports even more than usually elabo
rate and satisfactory; the missionaries, those whom
ima wnuld.mns_r pi for the
most partottit.thode who
ing yust what Ought to be 'Saidtio'las:,
more; the congregational singing unsurpassed and
unsurpassable—as when -the seven thunders utter
their voices; no serious conflict of opinion, no de
nominational jar, no "present distress" about debt;
—it has indeed been good for us to be here—and
our only regret is that every body else could not
be hero also. Blessed be God, there will be one
jubilee where there will be a temple "builded'of
Godhead" large enough to hold all Israel at one
and the same time; a table large enough to ac
commodate all who are bidden to the-,marriage
supper of the Lamb.
THE MACE OF MEETING
was the "Tremont Temple," ono.of the most beau
tiful and spacious audience chambers in the cowl=
try, As for the "great congregation," we shall
not attempt to describe it. When we looked at
the platform we thought of the old Broadway Ta
bernacle, in the palmy days of the Anniversaries,
especially on the day of the feast,—Wednesday,
the day of the American Bible Society. When we
looked at the central seats reserved for the mem ,
bars of the Board, and saw so many gray.headed
veterans, (nearly one•half of the entire members,)
we were reminded of the Semi-Centennial Celebra
tion of Yale College in the big tont, in 1.850. And
when we looked at the vast numbers present, piled
up rank above rank, in the deep gallery, opposite
the stage, and remembered what had brought them
together, it seemed to us as if we were once more
in dear old "Jayne's Hall," when "the Church of
the Holy Ghost" was assembled there,
_when an
gels rejoiced above, and saints on earth below.
We know there are some who don't like these
"crowds," and who "enjoy themselves more in a
little, meeting," and who will probably smile at our
"enthusiasm" as they read what We have here
written; but we trust they will get over this feel
ing before they join the company of the
." one
hundred and forty and four thousand,"—that
great multitude which no man can number, of
all nations, and ltincket_Lansl peopleomd tongues,
crying with a Toad - voice, "Salvation to out uo - a
which sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.",
TUB SERMONS,
The first thing, of course, was the Annual Ser
mon—but no Professor Park! He is not often
found wanting on a great occasion; why did he
fail here? • Was it because a year ago, at Phila
delphia, the Jubilee Sermon was assigned to Dr.
Hopkins, and the two sermons wore likely to in
terfere? Certainly the event showed , otherwise.
The excellent sermons of President Fisher, of.
Hamilton College, and of President Hopkins, of
Williams 'College, were in no more danger of "col
liding" than the image and superscription on one
side of a double eagle in danger from that on the
other. "This people have I formed for myself,
they shall show forth my praise," suggested one
appropriate subject. "A handful of corn in the
earth, on the top of the mountains, the fruit
thereof shall shake like Lebanon," suggested ano
ther subject, equally appropriate. Every lover of
his country, and lover of his race, will find'great'
satisfaction in reading both. Some of the, princi
ples enunciated in Dr. Hopkins' sermon may, per
haps, need a little further discussion, but. he did
well to state them so boldly. In this day of free
discussion, anything is better than the "doctrine
of reserve."
ORIGIN OE TUE AMERICAN BOARD
"Honor to whom honor is due," especially when
the crown falls upon the head that least expected:
it! We confess it was one of the questions:we
most wished to have answered, when we went to
this mooting, where did the American Board Ori
ginate? In the house of 'Rev. Dr. Noah Porter,
of Farmington, coon., where the first meeting was
*Wand of which meeting, Dr. Porter is now the
solo survivor? No. In the preparatory meeting
at Branford, in which Rev. Mr. Keep, of Ohio,
and Dr. Snell aro the only two survivoratTNo.
Did it originate with Dr. Worcester, or Dr. Spring,
or Jeremiah Everts? No. In the famous prayer
meeting of Samuel J. Mills and Axis .companions,
behind the haystack at Williamstotvn, Maas:?.:;
With Mills himself? No. But to 'her immortal
honor let it be recorded; the real oi:igin of the
American Board, was in the prayers and:instruc
tion of SAMUEL J. Mrra.gl° atoTazul Such was
the statement made by Dr. Hopkins, in his ser
mon. When Samuel was a child of eight years
of age she told him that she had dedioatedhini to
Ood,ln the work of Foreign Missionsy The' and
grow to maturity. "Mother," said, he, ose, day,
itj w ish bad never been born." "My OM,"
said she,-"fou are born, and since its is so, be a
man, and take upon yourself the responsibility be
longing to Our position.n This incident was the,
turning point of his life, and of how much ohm;
eternity can alone.reveal.

the best financiers in the world, and can '4364nore
with loss money, than any otherS;" :'while
are willing to accord them all due honor for wear

for wearing their "old bonnets" double the usual

cry of "helPf," "been" on a ceiiain occasion 'once
so elegantly alluded to by Patink Henry. Time
and again their appeal to the audience was not
sustained, and as the result' pro4red. in the end, the
hearts of the pe4le were almost unanimously with
Judge Jesup and Wm. E. Dodge, Esq., of' New
York, the last of whom made the very best speech
we ever heard froni him. May God bless and
prosper him,,so that, if necessary, he may give the
Board ten thousand dollars more. In Other cir
cumstances we would have been as silent about
this donation as be has been himself, but in'View
of one or two speeches on the debt question, we
do not feel disposed to withhold thp commenda
tion for liberality that he so justly deserves. Mitch
of the discussion on a debt, which had no exist
ence, we cannot but regard as just so much lost
time. Happily it was the only infelicity; the tied.
speeches on the Gaboon Mission, for the evident
character of the men' Who made them being en
tirely unworthy of our notice. A man who could
not quote his New Testament correctly, and his
opponent who replied to lim "with perfect con
tempt!" emphasizing the word to the full extent,
probably had better have remained at Jericho a
' , hrust themselves
suchu7,monting. as that Trembni Vint&
Since the days of Job; however, such things have
been when the "sons of God" came together, and
probably will so continue to the end. Perhaps it
is one of the evidences that they have come to
gether. We have often seen it in our best meet
ings in Jayne's Hall, why not in those of the Ame
rican Board?

tithes thought that it would be better, in the
first half of nearly all our large prayer meet

speak' to one another. It is, comparatively; so
seldom that Christians can get together in great
numbers, that if there is any power in united_ i

train approaching on one track, but did not notice a
train going in the. opposite direction, on the other
track, and, consequently he was struck by the engine
and thrown down the bank.- It is feared that he is
fatally injured. Mr. Roberts graduated with the

we are gratified to learn that an excellent opportunity

his native tact - and shrewdness, and his familiarity

History of the PhiladelPhia Baptist Asir,-

The first Baptist Chuicli: in Pennsylvania, perm&

fewmiles north of the city: , One had existed feebly
at Coldspring, in Bucks- edunty, for a short period,
of - which the father of the,celebrated Dr. Benj. Rush
is supposed' to have been a metriber.' His remains,
With a headstone, lie in the burial ground of this
church, long since:disused. The:welsh Tract Church
now in Delaware, was', next founded. Soon after
churches arose at Middletown, Piscataqua and Co
hansie, in New Jersey, and then followed the consti
tution of the Philadelphia Association.
In every period of its existence the Assoeiation has
firmly maintained* the soundest form of Scripture
doctrine, nor could any church have been admitted
at any period, which denied or - concealed.any of the
doctrines of grace. The NewTestainent has always

Baptists. The Association published, in 1742, its
canfessian of faith and . discipline. This is in cub-
stance the same as the anal. Baptists in Poland
and Bohemia, acilof the , hfamonites in Holland, and
the early English and Welsh churches: ' This con
fession was published by ministers and brethren re
presenting about forty churches, met in London in
1689. It was printed for the Philadelphia'Associa
tion by Benjamin Franklin, and numerous editions
have since been issued: - Thronghout the j.lnited
States it is generally considered as the . 'eta'rttl'grd of
orthodoxy among Baptists. It differs but slightly
from the Westminster Confession Of Faith, published
by " the Assembly of Divines."

five churches constituted the body; now there are
sixty-four, though a host of churches have been dis
missed to form other associations.
The annual meeting of this Association took place
in this city, last week, commencing on Wednesday
the 3d inst. Rev. G. W. Anderson read the circular
letter, advocating great individual zeal for the Bap
tist Church, and the education of the youth in the
fear of the Lord according to Baptist tenets. There
were one million children in, this country whose
, spiritual instruction was found in the - Baptist deno
mination. Christian union—a theme much agitated
of late—would tend to a neglect of faithful denomina
tional training. The essay strongly advocated a
strictly Baptist tuition, and was averse to a soften
ing of denominational tone. No Quixotic crusade
was affirmed, however, for the support of peculiar
views. While brotherly feeling should be encour
aged, there should be no lowering of the Baptist
banner, and no cowardice in the utterance of truth.
This letter gave rise . to - considerable discussion,
bringing out a great diversity of views on the sub
ject of, union with other. denominations. It was or
dered to be printed.

PHILADELPHIA
Thomas S. Armstrong has been duly committed
on charge of the murder of Robert Crawford. .Ano
therwitnessi-named :Maurice B Murphy, was. 'pro
duced, who saw the wagon - on the night of the murder
in the vicinity of-the spot where the body of the Aur
dered man was found. He took particular notice' of
it, for reasons which he gave in his testimony. Since
the arreet of Armstrong, Murphy has visited Van
sciver's liiery stable, and, Unaided, picked out the
identical wagon which had been hired by Armstrong
on the evening in, question, and also , identified a horse
standing in the - stable as being the one which was
attached to the wagon he saw on thee night of the
The coroner's jury have given•the subject a very
patient and impartial investigation, and everything
that could , be- done has been done to hunt Up testi
mony which would , either fasten the guilt upon the
prisoner or clear him of the crime. The lower part
of the Neck has been visited by the police, and al
most every faimer asked if they have been robbed
of any chickens within the past two weeks. No one
could be discovered who has missed anywithin that
time. The man and woman who the prisoner al-.
leges got into his wagon on the night in question,,witb
chickens in their, possession, have been advertised
for, and search , made in every direction for persons
answering their description, but in vain. No such
persons can be found. .
These facts, together with his borrowing a loaded
pistol on the night of the murder, for the purpose, as
he alleges, of shooting cats, and returning it on the
next evening discharged, and the discrepancy between
his statement and that of the storekeeper, in regard
to the kind of money he paid for a pair of new boots
OD the day after the murder, form a mass of testimony
which points
.directly to him as the guilty party, as
strongly, as circumstantial evidence can go.
Boiler Explosion at Eranayunk.—Early in the
morning of Wednesday, October 3rd, one of a range
of five boilers in the factory of the Messrs. Prestons,
exploded, scalding the fireman, James Rutherford,
very seriously: Mr. J. Preston, of the firm, was in the
yard, and was badly scalded. The engine house was
blown to pieces. In the panic, Miss 'Alice Brown,
one of the female operatives, leaped ,from a window,
and broke , her leg. The loss is between three and
four thousand dollars.
A Fatal Aceident.—Friday evening, shortly
after sundown, a hole girl, named Aumling, eight
years of age, was rug over by a, passenger railway
oar, in. Market Street near Broad, and instantly

Drays and uarts.—On Satnrday morning, -Chief
of Poliee, Samuel EL Ruggles, called the attention of
the. lieutenants of police to the practice indulged in
by drivers . of carts, drays, and other vehicles, of fol
lowing each other up' so closely as to render it im
possible for foot passengers to cross the streets until
tilde vehicular processions bane passed by. There is
an ordinance which forbids this abuse, and which' re
quires that all vehicles shall keep ten feet apart.
The chief directed that this ordinance should be
strictly enforced, and that offwers who fail to see to
the enfercement, shall be reported.

of selecting a suitable location for a settleinent. The

FOREIGN.
Little'etee is talked of, in regard to foreign affairs,
but GARIBALDI' and 'the ITALIAN ItavourrioN. The
particulars of the fight , between LaMorioiere and Ga
ribaldi's treops, on the 18th of SePtember, are as fol-
Litmoriciere with 11 900 men, attacked to day the.
position lately taken by Cialdini at Castle Fida!do.
The fight NV AS short, but desperate, with' the following
results:—The junction of Lamoriciere's corps with
the remainder of his troops at Ancona is prevented
six hundred prisoners have been made; six pieces of
artillery and a flag were taken; only the wounded;
among whom was Gen. Peimicleni, fell into the bands
of Cialdini. Theloss of the enemy is , considertible.
Lan oriciere," with a few horsemen, succeeded in
reaching Ancona;". Outside of Ancona there is not a
single pontifiCal.hatialion,
A cOldinia of 6000 1 trien made a Sortiefreku-A:ricOnit
and hok part in the fight, but was compelled to re.
t're, and is being pursued by the Sardinian troops.
The Neapolitan fleet opened by
against Arc ma.
The six hundred prisoners of war taken, at Spoleto
are Irishmen. The Sardinian Government wished
the British-Minister to take charge of and send them
home, but he declined, saying lie could not regard
them as British subjects.
- Garibaldl's'troops have disembarked at the mouth
of the Ciergliano, and interrupted the communication
of the Royal troops between Capua and Gaeta.
Garibaldi Its,been.at Palermo, where he issued a
fresh proclamation to the inhabitants, repeating his
former declaration, that he will proclaim at Rome
Only the constitution of the kingdom of Italy, and
will not accomplish any annexation at present. It
was expected that on his 'Timm be would operate
against Capua,. the early capitulation of which is an
ticipated. •
, Garibaldi hag announced that he will only proclaim
the united kingdom of Italy from Rome, and he will
not accoMplislfany annexation until he occupies that
city. The Pope has issued a' manifesto announcing
his determination to withdraw. from. Rome..
General Walker has - undoubtedly been shot, if
we may judge froth the circumstantial accounts in
the .papers. • The execution took place Sept. 12th,
near Truxillo, by order of the Government of Llondu•
ras; to which the officers of the British vessel of war
bad delivered biro.
Later from Europe.
A conflict between Garibaldi arid the King of
Naples was apprehended. The King was at Carina,
barricaded and armed, in evident expectation of an
assault. The minister of France was about to quit
Naples. The rumors of the difficulty between Gari..
'midi and Count Cavour, were confirmed. Garibaldi,
it is said, bas'written a letter declaring them to be
irreconcilable. It was further reported that the
quarrel between the Sardinian Government and Ga
ribaldi has arrived at such a pitch, that Icing Victor
Emmanuel has determined to proceed to Naples, to
obtain a personal intercourse With Garibaldi. The
Neapolitan ministry had resigned. .

TP MEDICINE IS NECESSARY, USE BRANDREVI'S PILLS.
They are as pleasant , as;a truly effective medicine can
be. It is true you may take purgatives which will ope
rate ivittioutpain, because they take the' balsamic parts
from the blood, which is worse than being bled, worse
than hiving the vital fluid abstracted. Beware of them.
Brandreth's Pills only take hold of Ahose matters which
the body, when sick, wants to evacuate. They are
solely an assistant of nature,—nothing more, nothing
less. They do not force; they merely assist; aad herein
is 'theii great value. The man is thrice blc3sed who is
so forbinate as to be acquainted with this good and al
most perfect gift to man, because he has to a . great ex
tent his body insured in health by their occasional use.

Bower's Medicated Figs are an efficient
remedy tor all derangements of the bowels, habitual
costiveness, sick and nervous headache, dyspepsia, piles,
&c. Persons of sedentary life should always use them.
The3r are reliable and safe, and do not debilitate, and can
be taken at all times without inconvenience. They con
tain no - mercury. Pleasant to the taste. One fig has a
laxative effect, while two figs are sufficient to produce
an active purge.

, None but a physician knows how much a reliable al
terative is needed by the people. On all sides of us, in
all communities every where are multitudes that suffer
from complaints that . nothing but an alterative cures.
Bence a great many of them 'have been made and put
abroad with the assurance of being, effectual. But they
fail to accomplish the cures they promise, because their
have not the intrinsic virtues they claim. In this state
of the case, Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co. of Lowell, have sup=
plied us with a compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, which
does prove to be the long desired remedy: Its.peculiar
difference from other kindred preparations in Market is,
that it CURES the diseases for which it is recommeaddd,
while they do not. We are assured-of this fact by more
than one of our intelligent physicians in this neighbor
hood, and have the further evidence of our own expe
rience of its truth —Tennesse4 Farmer. - '

this edition, to make the rendering conform strictly to
the author's sense. •
It is proper to add that whilst the Edinburgh transla

whin was published within the last three months.
The merits of this work, which the reader will please
notice, is the author's Tert-Book, of Church History, are
so obvious, that they need not be pointed out In detail.
It combines lucid' conciseness with full comprehenSive

supply the place of some larger works on the subject,
