1. Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary, are considered as wishing to renew
their subscriptions,
2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of
their periodicals, the publisher may continue to
send them until all arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
periodicals from the office to which they are directed
they are held responsible till they have settled the
bill, and ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places with
out informinq ° the publishers, and the papers are
sent to the former direction, they are held re
sponsible.

tion of the
_proprietor.
POSI I MABTERS.—The POstinaster General has
recently decided that if Postmasters do not give

remain in the Post Office without being taken out
by subscribers, within five weeks, they are liable
for the pay.

OUR OWN CHURCH.
New Church in Erie, Michigan.—A eorre•
epondent of the Evangelist says
:--
A week or two since, Rev. Mr. Eldridge of Detroit,
it connection with Rev. Messrs. Bissell and Hill, as
a committee of Presbytery, organized in the town of
Erie, Michigan, another new Presbyterian Church.
Some twenty persons, five of them upon profession,
and the rest from various connections, were duly
formed into an ecclesiastical body, which we trust
the Lord will water and bless. It is a hopeful and
promising, enterprise; enjoying at present the occn.-
atonal ministrations of Mr. Bissell, of Mt. Clemens.
The Allen Street Church, N. Y,—lt is gratify
ing to know that not all down-town churches find it
necessary to move uptown in order to live. The
pastor of the Allen Street church, who was settled
over it but a year ago, on preaching his first anni
versary sermon, gave the following statistics of its
growth during the last twelve months. In that time,
fifty families, in whole or in part, have joined the
congregation. Seventy persons have applied to the
session for admission to the church, of whom sixty
one have been received into communion, The pre
sent membership of the church is five hundred and
one, The Sabbath schools of the church, the neigh
borhood prayer meetings, the Children's Missionary
Society, the trviet, Bible, and missionary efforts, are
all in successful operation.
Rev. C. F. elast number of The Friend,
Sandwich Islands, notices the arrival at Honolulu, of
this esteemed brother, who has been called to the
presidency of Qabu Cullege.
The Rev. tames Sinelair.—On the 15th instant,
the Presbytery of Long Island dissolved the pastoral
relation of the Rev. James Sinclair to the Cutchogue
church, and dismissed him to the Third Proshytery
of New York.
Missionary Work of the Second Church , . Cin
oinnati.—An interesting meeting was held to the
Second Presbyterian Church on January 22d. The
Young Men's Home Missionary Society had resolved
to transfer its work to. the Church, and let the Sesa
lion manage the Mission Sabbath schools, and pro
vide for the wants of the West End Mission Church.
The object of the meeting was to perfect this trans
fer. A silver pitcher, with suitable inscriptions, was
presented to Mr. William H. Neff, who for years has
been the popolar'and efficient President of the So
ciety. Speeches were made by Prof. Taylor, Wm.
H. - Neff, L. U. Sargent, W,
_Allen and others.
The feeling manifested was eminently cordial, ear
nest, and Christian, and it is hoped that this,new ar
rangement may promote the missionary zeal and ac
tivity of the 'church.
In the Second Church School, the The' End
School, and the other mission schools now trans
ferred to the care of the session, there are nearly
2,000 children. The number in attendance at the
West End School last Sabbath was over four hundred.
God has greatly' blessed the labots of the young•men
of the Second Church. May Ile smile even more
graciously upon this work now bound as it is, upon
the heart of the Church itself.—Christian Herald.
Ellnirs.--The old ohurch have extended a call to
Rev, George C. Curtis, of Adrian, Michigan, to be•
come their pastor. His acceptance has nut yet been
indicated. Brother C. would be warmly welcomed
by his brethren in this region, if he should come to
Elmira.—Presb. Recorder.
Union of Sentiment in our Church.—A corre
spondent of the Presbyterian Recorder says:
It is a very pleasar.t reflection for those of us who
can remember twenty years back, that our church
having passed through many and sore trials, having
been distracted and divided, and thus weakened by
various agitations, has come at last to stand together,
a compact and harmonious body, 'all thinking the
sante thing, and speaking the truth in love. I do
not know any four papers in any denomination in
this country which agree more fully in all important
respects, than the four papers which now represent
mar denomination. Long may they flourish. And
our churches, too, are feet becoming united in their
sympathies, and views of truth and duty.
Bealo.—llex. Dr, Clark, late of the Mercer Street
Church, New York, has been called to the First
Presbyterinn Church in Buffalo, and Rev. Mr. Or
miston, of Turonfo, to the North Presbyterian
Zhurelt in the same city. •
Bey. Asa Martin has taken charge of the Olivet
Church, Scott P. 0., Makuska Co., lowa.
OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE
RIAN CHURCH.
Mr. Van Dyke's Itederati6ll.—The following
from a late number of the Auguste, (Georgia) Sentinel,
is an additional proof of Mr. Van ,tyke's "modera
tion:"—
s "I say freely, that unless the hostile legislation of
the Northern States is repealed, and the violent and
unchristian agitation of the slavery question put
down, your State and all other Southern States ought
to break loose from the government that will not pro
tect their rights, and from a people who ,disregard
the plainest obligations of consanguinity and brother
hood. But then I believe, before God, that if we Dan
only have more time, even-handed justice will> soon
commend to its own lips this poisoned cup abolition
ism has mingled for you. These religious dema
gogues have had their day.
HENRY J. VAN Dna."
Dionod.—At a meeting of the Presbytery of Alle
gheny city, Mr. Monad, son of the 11ev. Dr. Maned,
of Paris, was licensed to preach the Gospel. He
goes at once to lnbor in Mr. Chiniquy's colony, where
he spent last summer. ,
Dr. Hodge and New Orleans.—The True Wit
ness and Sentinel, while differing decidedly with Dr.
Hodge on two points, in the late article on the State
of the Country, says, nevertheless:
The oalm, clear, logical power with which some of
the points are handled, is masterly ; perhaps seldom,
if ever, surpassed. He shows the heart of a patriot
and a Christian, throbbing with an earnest desire to
do good to every American and especially to every
child of God.
CONGREGATIONAL.
Z.-L-.-Vonting,--pasturctrlinr-itinat-Preaby
terian Church, Milwaukee, has accepted a call to the
Plymouth Church, Chicago, on a salary of $3,000
per annum. •
•
Rev. Charles Lowell,'D. D.—The death of Rev.
Charles Lowell, D. D., of Boston, is mentioned. Dr.
Lowell was the father of James Russell Lowell, the
poet, and had just celebrated the, fifty-fifth anniver
sary of his settlement over the West Church, Boston.
In the rupture of the Congregational denomination,
many years since, into the Trinitarian and Unitarian
wings, Dr. Lowell refused to identify himself with
either section, and called himself simply a Congre
gationalist to the day of his death. He was supposed,
however, to sympathize with the Unitarians.
EPISOOPILL.
The American Ohm& -Missionary Society.--
A large and, impressive meeting of the friends of this
society, was held January 25th, in the 'Church of St.
Paul, Philadelphia. Addresses were delivered by
Rev. Dr. Schenk, of Baltimore; Rev. Dr. Newton and
Rev. Mr. Parvin.
Praying for the President—Some pains have
been taken to deny the statement that at the com
mencement of the South Carolina troubles; the Epis
copal clergy omitted the.prayer• in the liturgy for the
I t
President. Whatever may have bee the fact then,
it is certain that now, since secessio has been de
clared, this offensive and unjustifiab omission. has
been made. A clergyman, writing to an Episcopal
journal in the North, says that, "in 'accordance with
Episcopal authority; the clergy of this diocese, so far
as we are informed, substitute the words, 'Governor
of the State' for the President of the United States;
at the same time adding the remaining portion of the
prayer. They thus show theircontinued adherence
to Church law as their regard for State action."
An outsider would deem this a curious way of show
ing adherence either to "Church .law'': or to Chris
tian charity.—Christian Intelligencer.
REFORMED DUTCH,
A Praisewoithy Deed.—Last week the Treasu
rer of our Foreign Board acknowledged the' receipt
of one Thousand dollars from "individuals" in the
Sandwich Islands,
for the erection of a chapel at Ka
ri:lowa, Japan. The history of that contribution is
as follows: Rev. Mr. Wood, chaplain of the Powhat
tan, promised our missionaries in Japan, when
leaving them, that on reaching this country, he
would endeavor to obtain one thousand - dollars to aid
them in the erection of a chapel. On his voyage
hither, the Powhattan touched at Honolulu, where
Mr. WOod, while conversing with Christians on
shore, -mentioned his design. To his surprise he
*as informed that'the Sandwich Islanders had al
raadY anticipated
arntird the need- of- a chapel in Japan: and,
bia-misred- ate- itm 'Warned tor - raltrTSJ ect, and'
had' already delimited it in the keeping of the Ame
rican Board until called for by our Boaid. On Mi.
Wood's arrival here, he communicansd the above
facts to the proper authorities, and' the money was
immediately paid over by the American Board to the
Treasurer (Mr. lint) of the Reformed Dutch Board.
Who can fail to see in this beautiful series of Chris
tian acts the true spirit of the Master? Surely the
isles waited in hope, and have given to the whole
Christian world a pleasing proof of their missionary
promptitude and zeal. The example ought to preach
effectively to all.— Christian Intelligencer.
BAPTIST.
Newark, N. J.—Within the last ten years, the
Baptist churches of Newark, N. J.; have had remark
able grow.,th. Then there was but one church, of
400 members—now there are five churches, having
1,500 members. When the pastor of the First
Baptist church entered upon his duties, the church
had 340 members—now it has 730 members, and
one of the largest and best meeting-houses in the
country.
Newspapere.—These times are giving severe les
sons to the publishers of religious journals in certain
sections. The Baptist Standard, of Nashville, the
Southern Baptist, of Charleston, and the Western
Watchman, of St. Louis, have all ceased to be issued.
Nothing is easier than to start n newspaper, but no
thing is more difficult than to keep it up to the pay
ing point.
GENERAL
Rana Sahib, Murderer of the Missionaries.—
Calcutta, November 23,1860.—The most important
announcement that I can make in this letter is this
—that the Nana is still living. He is encamped, with
three or four thousand followers, in Thibet, just be
yond the Nepaul frontier, and in a country over which
Jung Bahadoor can claim no supremacy. He has
plenty of money,, and is able to subsist his followers
without committing depredations on the villagers.
He is thus not only tolerated, but cherished, and the
inhabitants have aided him in his attempt to conceal
the fact of his existence from our authorities. It may
appear strange thus to assert that a man, the story of
whose death has been so circumstantially told, re
garding whose demise, the members of the Oude Com
mission, in their Report recently published, assert
' that no reasonable doubt can exist, is still alive, and
at the head of a military force. I have, nevertheless,
the best reasons for knowing it to be true.—Presby
terian.
An Infidel's Oath refused.—At the Rockdale
County Court, on a recent Wednesday, a Mrs, Maden
appeared as a witness. Mr. Standring asked her if
she believed in a future state of rewards and punish
ments? Witness—l do not. • His Honour—You don't
believe in any human responsibility for telling a lie?
Witness—Yes. His Honour—Except to Society?
Witness—No. His Honour—Do you believe in a God
who can punish you for telling a lie? Witness—No.
His Honour—Then I cannot hear you. If people
will insult public opinion in a court of justice, they
must take the consequences.
The Jews in America.—The Rev. Dr. Fischell
lectured before the Hebrew Literary Union in New
York recently, on the history of the Jews in America.
He said that the Jews came to this country for the
same reason that the Puritans did—to escape perse
cution.. Having been expelled from Spain by Ferdi
nand and Isabella about the time that Columbus dis
covered the New World, many of the Jews took ad
vantage of the occasion, and established themselves
in the great land of the West. They were first heard
of se colonists in Brazil, where they were in the
course of time subjected to a great many annoyances
and even cruelties. In Mexico, where about the
same time some of their race had settled down, they
were subjected to barbarities which fully equalled
the atrocities of the inquisitions of other countries.
Here, at one time, some thirty or forty of them
were burned alive, the fire lasting from early morn
ing till late in the day, facts which are at this day
still attested by documents in the archives of Madrid
and Lisboa. In Peru and New Granada they fared
no better. In 1654 a number of them landed at
New Amsterdam (now New York.) Peter Shire
sent, on learning the fact, considered-it a great cala
mity, and was opposed to giving them the least pro
tection. They were not allowed freedom of worship
till the next year. In 1728 the Jews built their first
synagogue in New York, and though oppression was
not entirely relinquished, they increased and gradu
ally established themselves at. Newport, R. 1., Phila- .
delphia and other places. In the latter place they
contributed largely to sustain the Revolutionary war.
The Sunday School Times.—Mr. Hart having
retired from the American.S . unday School Union,.has
taken this paper along with him. It is now pub
.lished altogether as an individual enterprise, and has
no official connexion whatever with the American S.
S. Union, any more than any other religious news
paper has.

those cities, and were handsomely. entertained. Our
Board of Trade had an opportunity of seeing. for
themselves what the great granaries of the West
contained as a basis for trade, and the business men
of the West' will be able by their present Visit, to see
what the workshops of Philadelphia produce to ex.-
change for their agricultural products. They visited
all the places of interest in Philadelphia, and had a
grand banquet given to them on Friday at the Con
tinental. They remained until Saturday.

CONGRESS.
FRIDAY, Jany. 25th.—SENA.TE.—Private bills wev
under consideration. Adjourned till Monday.
HOUSE.—After the private calendar the report of
the Crisis Committee was taken up, when a strong
Union speech was made by Mr. Nelson, of Tennessee.
Lfe.Said: "Any of the propositions for compromise
which had been submitted would command his sup
port,. dither the Crittenden, the border State plan,.
that of Mr. Corwin, or even an extension of the Mis
souri line, -in, the original form, to California.' In
his opinion, the preservation of the. Union was above,
all other considerations, and he was ready to sacrifice
any, personal preferences to attain that end."
TUESDAY, Jan. 22.—SENATE.---A. debate arose upon
the 'action necessary in view of the withdrawal of
Senators from seceding' states. On motion of Mr.
Seward, the subject was tabled. The Crittenden
Compromise was then taken up.
House.- 7 -A bill authorizing the President to sus- -
pend the mail service to the seceding states was in
troduced and postponed. The report of Mr. Corwin,
(Committee-of. thirty. three,) was debated.- Mr. Cle
mens. of the - Wheeling district, Va., made a speech,
full of sentiments, that must have been bitterness it
self to the secessionists. He showed that the South,
out of the Union, would never be able to secure any
territory, not even so much as he could hold in his
hand. If the South should take, the Constitution of
the United States as a provisional form of government,
the Cotton States will have the legislative power over
the border States, which will•be bound hand and foot
to a policy as oppressive as ever they were under our
Constitution, intensified fifty times.
At the expiration , of hie hour, considerable interest
was manifested, and he was desired to go on by many.
Mr. Martin; of Virginia, excitedly expressed a hope
that the member would not be allowed to continue
his traitorous remarks.
vania, made a motion to cull up the Tarit bill, which,
after some discussion, succeeded, and the all , was re

ment of Mr. Lane, in regard to a branch-to Portland,
Oregon, was agreed to.
Houss.—The Post Route bill, as amended by the
Senate, was under discussion, and nearly all. the Se
nate amendments were concurred in. The report of
the Crisis Committee was taken up, and Mr. Ethe
ridge, of Fenn., made a strong Union speech. He
was ready to vote for any proposition of adjustment,
and, even if none should succeed, he will still cling
desperately to the Union.
He said the revolution now threatening to subvert
the country, was the most unjustifiable and unpar
donable that the world ever beheld, involving the
most fearful consequences, and yet men all over the
country are playing with the mad passions of the
people, and stigmatizing those as traitors who would
not participate in the revolution.
Mr. Leake, of Virginia, wanted to know where the
gentleman stood, North or South?
Mr. Etheridge—l speak on the,side which has but
few representatives; I am speakini for my country.
The Speaker presented a communication signed
by all the , members from Georgia, except Mr. Hill,
announcing that in consequence of the secession of
their State, they were no longer members of the

be retained in the Treasury - till the road is completed,
or the bonds shall be forfeited. „ ,
IN MR Ilona. the whole session was occupied in
discussing the Post Route bill.

solution "that the select committee of five, appointed
on ith inst., be instructed to inquire whether any se
cret organization, hostile to the government of the
United States, exists in the District of Columbia; if
so, whether an officer or employe of the city of Wash
ington, or officer or employe of the Federal Govern
ment in the executive department are members there
of." This was passed after some debate.
MONDAY, January 28th.--SzNATE.—The President
sent in a message calling attention to the proposition
of Virginia for a convention to be held on the 4th of

in the settlement of our difficulties. Mr. Iverson of

State, and withdre* from tile body.

"Mr. H. &Sanford, of Connecticut, who.has tra
veiled extensively in Central and South America for
four or five years, with a view to this subject, has
lately given the result of his observations to the pub
lic through the Albany Evening Journal. From Peru
Mr. Sanford saw a single lot of fifteen hundred bales
coming over the Isthmus by railroad, destined for
England, and, though badly ginned, so fine was the
staple, it brought, in Liverpool, eighteen cents per
pound. From Venezuela, be was informed that fifty
to seventy-five million pounds are exported annually,
mostly to Germany, at thirteen to fifteen cents per
pound. Mexico abounds in rich cotton lands, on
both her eastern and western coasts. A considera

SEIZURE OF COAST SURVNY VESSELS IN FLORIDA AND
SOUTH CAROLINA.—A. priirate letter from a reliable
source, says the New York Times; dated at St. Au
gustine, Florida, Jan. 15,states that the survey
schooner, Dana, in charge of F. W. Dorr, had been
seized by the authorities, while, that officer was ab
sent on an expedition in connexion with his duties.
The vessel had been temporarily left in the custody
of a citizen of that place. -It has already been men
tioned that the steam-tender Firefly; belonging to
Lieutenant Fon tieroy's surveying party, together with
schooner Petrel, underithe direction of Assistant
C. 0. Boutwell, which hale been' doing the triangu

years, have been seized at Charleston.
It is a well recognisedciple among all civilized

The railroad Conventionwas again in session to-day,
and considered the, condi is h of nationaraffairs. The
convention appointed a committee to draft resolu
tions expressive of their sentiments, consisting of the
following:- Mr, Marsh, President of the. Erie Rail
road; Mr. Cornhig, President - of the New Ybil Cen
tral; Mr. Edgar Thompson ; President of the Penn
sylvania Railroad; Mr.. Garrett, President of .the
Baltimore and Ohio, and Mr.L'Hornmbdieu, President
of the Hamilton and Dayton Railroad. The Com
mittee reported the following, among
,other resolu
tions, which were unanimously adoPted—
' Resolved That the plan embodied in the Critten
den resolutions for the adjustment of the difficulties
now threatening the existence of the Union, meets
our approbation.
LOIRE ANDERSON, the brother of Major Anderson,
left Washington, January 25th, for his home, Cin
cinnati. His efforts, both in Washington and Charles
ton, were instrumental in producing a better under
standing between Major Anderson and the Carolina
authorities: •
Four SllMTEL—Wasbingbin, Jan. 25th.—It is un
derstood that Major Anderson has determined to al
low the wives and families of the soldiers under his
command to be removed to New York. As the men
have been tinable to receive any pay from the South
Carolina Sub. Treasury, they cannot well support
these dependents. Some of i tkem are poor and in
destitute circumstances, anoi,bilAy need the kind at
tentions of your charitable:Rey*.
Anderson and his officers,Mre indignant - At the
offers of the South Carolitin authorities to supply
them fresh. provisions. They rejected the offer with
scorn, and demanded free access .to the markets,
stating that they would pay" for everything they
wanted.
About two thousand persons are engaged in get
ting up batteries and fortifications on the various
islands of Charleston harbor, but in most of them
are unsuccessful. Their works could easily be taken
by any well trained land force. The guns of Fort
Sumter are able to reach Charleston, and will not
fall short, as some military men have asserted.
The forts may be assailed by the armed populace
at any moment without permission of the authori
ties. 'But the Union forces are on the alert and pre
pared. These things I learn from a letter from Fort
Sumter.
FIDELITY OF THE NAVY.-A correspondent of the
Phila. Inquirer says
An inspection of the Register for 1860 will show
that of over thirteen hundred officers of all ranks,
excluding acting midshipmen,;chaplains and • store
keepers, only thirty-four, as yet, have been false to
their sworn oath of allegiance to the Constitution and
the authority of thd President 2f the United States.
These thirty-four include twelveitcting midshipmen,
mere lads from the naval echo*, of no earthly use
or consequence, except to their4en immediate rela
tions,
Ruoff z Istawn.—Both branches of the Rhode Is
land Legislature have voted, by large majorities, to
repeal the Personal Liberty law.
Feaneren OUT.--Baltimore, Jan. MlL—The spe
cial correspondent of the Amixican says that the
South Carolina Vigilance Committee has ferreted out
a man named Dodge, an enlisted soldier at. Fort
Moultrie, who is charged with being the correspon
dent of the New York Tribune. 'They had compelled
him to leave the State,
SECESSION IN VIIICINIA.—AS a proof that Secession
in Virginia is not the unanimous doctrine that it is
claimed to be, the remaining five,Congressmen from
that State will soon publish an address in reply to
the one already issued by the eight Congressmen and
the Senators. It is expected to be an able argu
ment, in favor of Virginia,•securing her rights within
the Union.
CHARLESTON, South Carolina, l the only city of
any prominence in the Union in which the popula
tion has decreased during the last ten years:
SOUTHERN JUDGES OF TIM SUPREME COURT.—Wash
ington, Jan. 25th.---. The Southern - Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United. States are considering
whether they had better tender' thciir resignation.
The Cabinet is in session this 'doming, and have
under consideration the subject of the presen,t hosti
lity at the South, and a proposed- attnistiee.
The President is noeremarkabla, for the firmness
of his resolution, or the tenacityith which he ad
heres to his purpose.
Gov. HICKS has appointed Hon. Reverdy John
sen, Augustus W. Bradford, Wm. T. Goldsborough,
John W: Crisfeld, and J. Dixon Roman, (all devoted
Union men,) as commissioners to meet the commis
sioners appointed by the Legislature of Virgidia, at
Washington, on the 4th of February. These gentle
men represent all sections of the State, including
Baltimore city, the Eastern and Western shores of
Maryland.
The State Convention of Louisiana voted on Satur
day upon the ordinance declaring immediate seces
sion. The ballot resulted in a vote of 113 for the
adoption, and 17 against. The convention then ad
journed to re-assemble at New Orleans.
SEIZURE OP THZ NEW ORLEANS MARINE EIOSPITAL
BY LOUISIANA Tsoors.--Washington, January .26th.
Information • was received by the government •this
morning, from' the Collector at New• Orleans, stating
that the barracks,. about two miles below New Or
leans, now
. occumed as, a Marine Hospital, were
taken possession of on the llth(?) instant, by Capt.
Bradford, of the State Infantry, in the name of the
State of Louisiana.
There werePtwo hundred and sixteen invalids and
convalescent patients in the hospital at the time, it
was seized. The Collector of Customs w©s required
to innediately,remove the patients 'who were conva
lescent, arid those who were confined to their beds as
soon as practicable.
This action on the part of the authorities of that
State, is regarded by the government as most out
rageous and inhuman. The government have no
authority nor means to make provision for these poor
creatures, who are thus thrown upon the cold chari
ties of the people of that State. • •
SENATOR CAMERON was in Philadelphia on Satur
day, when, in response to a serenade, he made a
speech, in which the following'sentiment is expressed:
"It is not necessary to take a step backwards in sup
porting the resolutions of Mr. Crittenden, which seem
to meet the full approbation of the people of this city,
if they be amended SO its not to extend to territory
hereafter to be acquired, and to remove from them
the feature which proposes to incorporate into the
Constitution the doctrine of the .Dred Scott decision."
Tris MEANNESS OF Amine in seceding from the
Union is beyond all comparison. This State owes
'its whole existence to the Union which - it now-exe
crates. Thirty-five millions of dollars have been
spent by the national government to rid it of savage
tribes of Indians, and place it upon a footing of safety
peace and prosperity. But for the Union the Indians
and the Spaniards would still have remained mastersiot
it. By the" money and' lilood'of this RePublic' it has
been dearly bought. And other: millions - have been
spent to survey accurately its coasts and harbor's, to'
place 'lights and, buoys as guicteir to commerce, to,
lbuild forts for its protection, and to maintain a costly
mail service, which has steadily been a losing opera
tion. And yet this State is mean enough to go out
of the Union without paying a dollar for all these
debts, and to makeinsolent demands for the occupa
tion of distant territories, while it has not people
enough to fill a single county in its own area.— U. S.
Gazette:
SOUTH CAROLINA bas•refused to consider the peace
proposals of Virginia, and her legislature voted una
nimously that her withdrawal was Sdal. Fort Sum
ter must be given up or it will certainly he attacked.
SECRETARYNDIX has instructed the commanders of
Revenue cutters, if attacked, to make the best de
fence in their power, and If they are assailed by a
superior force, to , run their vessels ashore and blow
them up.
IN GEORGIA there is a sligbt streak , of resistance
secession. In Bakens, county a Union meeting has
been held and tbe U. S. flag run up.
Why the North is Backward.---ne New York
Weild in a recent editorial deSigned to explain•the
backwardness of the North 'in offering and urging
conciliatory measures, says:
"Our peoplenre in no mood. to make terms with
traitors! While they would cheerfully do much to
reassure the loyal portion of the South, and regain
its confidence, they hare no proffer for thoie who
deny and spurn their obligations to their country.
They...feel.that when it, has..corne.to this, it is high

The Savings Bank of Charleston has suspended,
and the trustees, in extenuation of their bad faith,
say they have invested nearly ` two millions of depo
sits in mortgages, city bonds, and stbcks of various
descriptions; but, they 'add, these securities' have
sunk so low they cannot dispose of them except at
ruinous rates. They r therefore, refuse to-pay their
depositors the cosh they intrusted to them for safe
keeping, but,elolly offer to give them the worthless
stack at "par."—N. F. Tor/d;

FOREIGN.
England.—January K.—The Bank, of. England
has advanced the rate for discount to 7 per cent..
This advance was entirelyconexpected; and its effect
upon the money—market will probably be severe.
The Bank of France has able made a, similar in
It is .believed that the Ainerican news, and the po
sition Mum of, the Bank : of' France, were the main'incen
tives: for'the advance in England.
A'panic broke out alma; a, portion of the inhabi
tants of Liverpool on the 9th inst., and it was ru
mored that a mob had entered the bakers' shops and
plundered them, owing to the advance in prices, and
the severity Of the weather causing a suspension of
labor. Many of the shops were closed,but the fears
of an attack proved groundless.
SPECIE.-43y the steamship Niagara at Halifax,
Jan. 25, $1,080,000 in specie has arrived.-
France.--January B.—The Paris correspondent of
the Times says that the English government has sent
a strong note to the French government against any
longer occupation of Syria than is warranted` by the
treaty with the Porte.
Three new igen-cased. ships have been ordered to
commenced - at Toulon.
The London Herald's Paris correspondent says
that., by the beginning of
_March, France will possess
an army of 150,000 men ready to march at a few
hours' notice., besides the Imperial Guard, '40,000
strong, kept on a wax footing. In addition, there will
be 400,000 men under arms, unbrigaded in the garri
sons of the empire.
Louis Napoleon.= Secession.—At the diploma
tic reception on New Year's day, the following con
versation passed between the French Fmperor and
our minister at the Tuilleries:
The Emperor asked, in Enalish:
"What is the 'latest intelligence you have received
from the United States? Not so alarming, I trust, as
the papers represent it?"
"Like most nations, Sire," replied Mr. Faulkner,
"we have.our .troubles, which have lost none of their
eeloring, as deseribed in the European press,"
The Emperor.—"l hope it is not true that any of
the States have' separated from the general confedera
tion? '
Mr. Faulkner.—" The States still form one com
mon governinent, as heletefore. There is excitement'
in portions of the Confederacy, and there are indi
cations of extreme measures being adopted by one
or two of the States. But we are familiar with the
excitements, as we are with the vigor, which belong
to the institutions of a free people. We have already
more than once passed through commotions which
would have shattered into fragments any other go
vernment on earth, and this fact justifies thejpference
that the strength of the Union will now Be ,found
equal to the strain upon it."
The Emperor.—"l" sincerely hope it may be so; AND
THI7 YOU MAY LONG CONTINUE A UNITED AND PROM
aims PEOPLE."
Austria and Hungary.—A letter from Vienna,
of the nit nit., says: •
"The government continues to make large conces
sions-to the national party in Hungary, and that it
does so must undoubtedly be ascribed to theinfluence
which M. de Schmereing,bas obtained over , the Em
peror and the principal members of the Imperial fa
mily. It is evident to every one here that the Mag
yar aristocratic party, which was the first to com
mence agitation for the re-establishment of the Hun
garian 'constitution, is now decidedly cast into the
background."
India.—TEE NENA Seals. '
—There are conflicting
reports in regard to the,life or death of this monster.
One statement says: The Nenk was destrOyed by
jungle fever, after being ill for 27 days. A certain
section among the natives will always be found ready
to believe ; or affect to believe, that Nena Sahib is still
alive, but the weight of evidence derived from official
information, as well as every circumstance of his con
dition, since be became a wanderer in Nepaul, place
it almost beyond doubt that this arch murderer is no
more.
. .
China.—The news from China is all-important.
The Chinese ports are to be opened, and an inland
foreign - trade allowed.
A Chinese Ambassador is to reside at London.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—The steamship Etna has ar

practical kind which sought out the poor and negleCted,
and ministered to their necessities. Her end was peace

aged 86 years.
Her husband died suddenly at the same place, in 1822:
The family emigrated from Oneida county, in 1809.,
