THE LAW ABOUT NEWSPAPERS.
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 informing the publishers, and the papers are
sent to the former direction, they are held re
sponsible.
6. The courts have decided that refusing to take
periodicals from the office, or removing and leaving
them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of in
tentional fraud.
6. Papers cannot be discontinued after the year
has been allowed to commence, except at the op
s on of the proprietors. .
POSTMASTERS.—The Postmaster General has
recently decided that if Postmasters do not give
publishers of newspapers notice when their papers
remain in the Post Office without being taken out
by. subscribers ; within five weeks, they are liable
for the pay. -

of $BOO, as compared with the previous year. Of
$lB,OOO subscribed by individuals in the congrega
tion to the Professors Fund of the Theological Semi
nary, $13,000 has been paid, the balance, drawing in
terest, is to be paid in future instalments; making
the aggregate actually drawn from the congregation,
the last year, for benevolent purposes, $16,000.
Evangelist.
Presbytery of Troy,—This, body met January
Bth. The report in the Evangelist says:
The church in Hebron, which has not been repre
sented in any of our ecclesiastical meetings since the
excision by the General Assembly, was welcomed in
the person of J. R. Wilson, one of the oldest members
of that Session. An invitation was extended and ac
cepted to hold the next meeting of Presbytery with
the church in Hebron.
Rev. A. B. Lambert, Rev. A. J. Pennele, and Ei
ders Lyman Wilder awl W. Hannas, were chosen
Commissioners to the next General Assembly. Rev.

and E. P. Hurd, as Alternates.
Action was taken on the Cause of Publication.
The "revised plan" of Education was adopted. Re
solutions on Church Extension were passed as fol
lows:
1. That in view of the differences which exist be
tween the Presbyterian and Congregational elements
in the Rome Missionary Society, without expressing
any opinion upon the cause of those differences, we
are fully convinced that the time has come, when the
interests of the kingdom of Christ and the peace of
the churches require, that an amicable separation.
should immediately take place.
2, That our Commissioners to the General Assem
bly be instructed to use their influence and have the
Assembly carry the above resolution into effect.
3. That it is the opinion of this Presbytery that
the name of the Committee having charge of this sub
ject should be changed from "Committee on Church
Extenelbn" to Committee On Home Missions.

Fourteenth. Street Church, N. Y.—On Sabbath
evening, January 20th, there was held the anniver
sary of the missionary association of the Fourteenth
Street Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Dr. Smith's, on
Second Avenue. This was the fifth anniversary of
their most flourishing societ a l'. Nearly eight hundred
dollars bad been raised, as I ant told, during the year
for the missionary work of the American Sunday
School Union in the West. As usual at this church,
the audience was very large, and addresses of Much
more than ordinary interest were delivered by the
Itcv. T. L. Cuyler, and the pastor, Dr. Smith.
This school is the "home" of the little , children's
friend, Lucius Hart, and it is sufficient to add that
be "got up" the sacred songs especially for the occa
sion, with several new pieces of good music.

TERMS
OTHER BRANCHES.
Rev, Robert Baird, D. D.—Our readers will doubt
less be gratified by the intelligence, that our Board
[the American and Foreign Christian Unionl have
elected the Rev. Dr. Baird to the Secretaryship made
vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Dr. Fairchild,
and that he has accepted the appointment, and will
enter upon its duties immediately. The oversight of
the Missions connected with the. Board, and the edit
ing of the Magazine, will come under his special su
pervision. From his long and intimate acquaintance
with the "fields occupied by the missionaries of this
Society, from his extensive correspondence with dis
tinguished individuals in foreign lands, he will be
able to make the Magazine a most interesting and
valuable paper to our readers, and be the means at
the Bailie time of stimulating our friends to new and
vigorous efforts to aid'us in the great and good work
in which we are engaged."—Christian
Rev. J. R. Burgett.—Th &Mansfield, 0., Herald says
that Rev. J. R. Burgett, formerly settled in that city,
left about a year since to take charge of a church in
Mobile. He kept a strict watch over his tongue, but
finally inadvertently said that he would have voted
for Mr. Lincoln had he been at the North. Such lan
guage could not be tolerated, and he was compelled
to start North without delay. He is now in Ohio.
We find Mr. Burgett's name in the 0. S. minutes
as pastor elect of the Government Street Church of
394 members.
The New York Observer Ineendiary!—The
postmaster at Camden, Wilcox, Ala., under date of
December 14, has notified the publishers of the New
York Observer, that he will no 'longer deliver that
paper from his office, as he regards it as "incendiary
in its teachings."
The Convention of O. EL 'Spode at Pittsburg
hist month was quite successful and encouraging.
Probably about 300 members in. all eniolled them
selves as such.
Rev. A. M. Bryan, D. D.—Many of our readers,
says the Pittsburg Banner, will regret to intim the
death of this excellent brother, pastor of the Cumber
land Presbyterian Church, on Sixth Street, in this
city.
Last Sabbath week he preached in the church of
Bethany, some eight miles from Washington, Pa.,
where he had been conducting religious services for
several days. At the close of the sermon he gave out
a hymn, and just as the singing was about to com
mence, he fell down in the pulpit, to the great con
sternation of the assembly. Ho lingered until Tues
day, when he expired. His death was caused by the
rupture of some of the vessels of the brain.
METHODIST.
Orville Gardner.—We have received a circular
containing an appeal to the public in behalf of the
efforts put forth by Orville Gardner superintendent
of the Inebriates' Institute, 26 Nee/Bowery, Fourth
Ward, signed by several distinguished civilians and
ministers. The appeal sets forth that more than fif
teen hundred persons have signed the temperance
pledge, and a large number have obtained employ
ment through the assistance of Mr. Gardner, and fif
teen or sixteen of those who were brought into the
institution in a state of intoxication are known to
have been hopefully converted, and one of these is
now filling the pulpit in one of the churches in this
city.—Christian Advocate.
CONGREGATIONALIST.
At the Installation of Rev. L. Die!Lerman over
the Union Church .of Weymouth and Braintree,
Mass., January 17th, the Council, after a protracted
discussion, declared that the principle of - the "sis
months' notice," (which allows either party to end the
connection by such a notice, without any action of
Council,) is not "wise or salutary."
REFORMED DUTCH.
Church Case in Philadelphia.—From the con
cluding portion of Judge Allison's opinion, debarring
Rev. G. W. Smiley from the pastorate of this church,
we extract the following:
"For these reasons I reject the views entertained
by the defendants upon the subject, and although in
the affidavit of the Rev. Geo. W. Smiley, he says he
is a clergyman of the "Reformed" Church, and, was
duly elected a Deacon, and afterwards an "Elder"
by "Presbyterial" ordination, yet this, if intended by
Mr. Smiley to meet the requirements, of the charter,
fails and in this respect he is wanting in an essantial
requisitelbrttre - iSletaale ottins church. '
"Mr. Smiley, in his affidavit, a:lso says that he was
rejected by the Classis, solely upon the ground of
holding the doctrine of an unlimited atonement; and
this stands as an impassable barrier, from which there
is no escape, against his being installed in the office
of pastor of the First Reformed Dutch Church, or of
his continuing to supply the pulpit of said Church
upon any terms, or in any capacity. Neither Doctor
Smiley, or any other person, who does not receive
and preach the doctrine of the canon of the Reformed
Dutch Church upon the subject of Divine predestina
tion, which involves the doctrines of election and re
probation, and the doctrine of the decrees, and, in
short, the entire system of Calvinistic theology as re
ceived and taught by that Church, can have no right
to its pulpit, and ought to be excluded therefrom.'
Eva of Me 4rteL
Convicted of Murder in the First Degree.—
The trial of Armstrong for the murder of Crawford,
which has been exciting a great deal of interest in
the city, teripinated, on Wednesday last, by the jury
rendering a verdict of guilty as above. We are in
formed that our State Governors are in the habit, of
late, of neglecting their painful, but imperative duty,
as magistrates bearing the sword not in vain, of
signing the death-warrants of men convicted of.capi
tal offences. This act being necessary before seri,
tence can be carried into effect, it follows that the
criminal remains on the hands of the county,.and
cannot be subjected to the usual prison discipline;
&fact, he often fares better, enjoys more privileges,
and is every way better off than an inmate of the
same prison, convicted of petty larceny. This is a
great outrage, and should be remedied.
Philadelphia High School and the Coast Sur
vey.—The Press says of the Coast Survey:—This
fine work has been greatly assailed in Congress, and
at every session much difficulty has been experienced
in securing the necessary appropriations to carry it
on. The engravings and charts are, executed more
accurately and beautifully than those of any other
country, the most skilful artists in the world being
employed upon them. Among these lam glad to no
tice a number of the graduates of the Philadelphia
High School, who are always preferred by Professor
Bache, a ,native Philadelphian, who has a standing
application at the school for the best talent furnished
by that great people's college. The investigations of
this important branch of the public, service have been
most thorough on the Southern coast, not. only for
the putpose of ascertaining .the obstruetions in the
various harbors and bays, but also the character of
the country for five miles inland, so as to enable the
Government 'to carry on its operations, and to pro;
tent all our citizens engaged in the commerce of the
seas. It is no wonder that all the gentlemen con
nected with the coast survey are ardent and enthusi
astic friends of the Union.
The Mayor's Message.--Mayor Henry sent in
his message to the Councils, January 31. The total
funded debt of the city is $20,962,408, as near as can
be'ascertained. During the past year the sum of
$064,000 has been added to this debt. The deficit in
the finances of the city is $360,000. The revenue
provided by the last tax rate was not sufficient for
the expenses of the city. The Mayor objects to the
exemption from taxation of church property and be
nevolent institutions as unjust and unequal in its ope
ration, and at variance with the theory of governin
which exacts no tax for the maintenance of religious
belief. The defeats in the systems of valuation, and
assessment and collection of taxes haveliot yet been
remedied by legislation. From the financial cOndi
don of the city the Mayor turns to the various de
partments of the municipal government., and shows
their operations add cost. He renews his suggestion
that the city purchase the fire apparatus, and employ
the police to put out fires, as a much less expensive
operation than the present, and condemns any further
increase of the number of steam engines. He believes
that Girard College ought to extend its bounty to a
larger number of orphans. The suggestions of the
Mayor are generally ouch as the public will approve.
He closes as follows:--
The troubles which have come upon this nation in
the full tide of its prosperity may yet prove merciful
dispensations of an all-wise Ruler, to teach its peo
ple, throughout the length and breadth of its borders,
the true value of those free institutions with which
they have been especially favored, and to knit, more
clusely,'a Union over which the frenzied hands of fa
naticism or treason may not prevail.
The Monthly Statement fof tho United, States
Mint merits more than the usual attention, as the
coinage is the largest ever made at the mint in• a
single month. It amounts to 1,583,106 p . ieces, of
the value of $8,14421 69. The gold coinage 'is
402,506 pieces, valued at $8,032,326 69.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
KEY WEST AND TORTUGAS.—The United States
steamer Crusader arrived - at Havana from Key West
January 25th, and reports the arrival out from Bos
ton of the steamer Joseph Whitney, with U. S. troops
and stores.
The Crusader conveyed the J. W., with a schooner
in tow, loaded with guns, to the fort at Tortugas, and
when she left there, Captain Meigs, of the Engineers,
lid, with great perseverance and industry, suc
ceeded in getting the fort in good condition for de
fence.
The United States steamer Mohawk, Capt. Craven,
was also at Tortugas, assisting the military officers.
Captain Brannan, of the artillery, had garrisoned the
Fort at Key West, and it. is reported as secure against
any attack. Both of these officers are said to have
displayed great zeal and discretion, owing to which
the government property at Tortugas and Key West
is reported as being perfectly secure.
THE STEAMER JAmEs ADGER. —Among the passen
gers are the female members of the families of some
of the soldiers and officers in Fort Sumter. This
looks as if an attack was apprehended.
PUT NOT YOUR TRUST IN MArr.—Asa specimen of
the President's wavering policy in this critical and
perilous time, take the following, clipped from the
telegraphic dispatches of Wednesday of last week:
Mr. Buchanan, yesterday, acceded to the request
of General Scott for the employment of two more
companies of flying artillery for the protection of the
district, but, fifteen minutes later, withdrew his ap
proval. •
It is stated as certain that the . President has given
orders to the Brooklyn not to enter Pensacola har
bor, and that these orders have been sent to Major
Chase, commanding the Pensacola Disunionists, to be
transmitted to the officer in command of the steamer.
The purpose of this remarkable act is to prevent the
theddi of blood.
'aria M ARINE 110APITAL AT NEW ORLiANS.---thirittg
to the urgent remonstrance .of Secrctary Dix the af
fair in relation to the Marine H
lesns nits tintirr ttststotz y arranged:
." Noun' Jan. 30th--.
The House this afternoon concurred in the Senate's
amendments to the Convention bill, and it was finally
passed.
The bill orders that the question of Convention or
no Convention be put to the people, who are to elect
delegates at the same time. It also restricts the ope
ration of Federal laws.
The election is to be held Feb. 28.
TAMPERING WITH LETTERS.—A letter was received
by the Postmaster-General from a Market St. merchant
stating that five of his recent letters from Mobile had
been opened. This complaint will be immediately
investigated. It is high time the department should de
cide whether the servjce shall continue in States where
the correspondence is thus violated.
THE PRESIDENT AND KANSAS.—The President did
not hesitate a moment to sign the bill admitting Kan
sas, as has been intimated. On the contrary, it was
promptly signed, so soon as it could be unrolled and
placed before him.
To-morrow, an additional star will appear on the
flags over the eapital,—thus making thirty-four
in all.
CONSTITUTION NEWSPAPER:The Constitution news
paper was suspended recently. The Secessionists
having left for the South, no funds were forthcoming
to sustain it. Browne, the editor, talks of starting a
new journal at Memphis, to advocate Secession. He
has much to learn.
WELL Dm, TENNESSEE!—Washington, Jan. 30th.
—A private despatch from Tennessee states that the
Commissioners' appointed by the. Legislature have
been instructed to meet the Border State Commis
sioners at Washington, instead of those of the South
ern States at Montgomery, Ala.
This is regarded as a union triumph, as ten of the
twelve are known certainly to be in favor of the
Union.
SECESSION PRINCIPLE CARRIED OUT.-A Georgia
paper states that-the town of Gordon, situated on the
Central Railroad, at the junction of the road to Mil
ledgeville, has, by an ordinance duly drawn up,
signed and adopted by a meeting of the citizens of
the place,
formally seceded froth Wilkinson county,
State of Georgia. The narrator proposes to call it
the independent City of. Gordon. The people of
Gordon can probably give as good reasons for se
cession, and the act can as 'well be justified on prin
ciple, as can be the'secession of the Gulf States.
NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.--Raleigh, N. C.,
January 31st.— The Legislature to-day re-elected
lion. Thomas L. Clingman Senator to the United
States Congress.
THE REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-113 the Loui
siana State Convention, Jan. 31, a resolution.instruct
ing the Delegates p ,to the Montgomery • Convention,
which is to oonattuot the new Southern Confede
racy," to resist any attempt to re-open the slay: trade,
eight.
This is a significant indication of the strength of
the sentiment in favor of a revival of the infamous
traffic, which is justly abhorred by the whole civilized
world; and the subsequent passage, after an exciting
debate of an explanatory resolution, threw but a
flimsy disguise over the real purposes and objects of
the Louisiana Secessionists.
CAPT. MONTGOMERY C.
,MEIGS.—Man proposes and
Ged disposes. When the Secretary of War, John B.
Floyd, and Captain Meigs had their differences, the
President taking the side of- Mr. Floyd, Capt. Meigs
was ordered to Florida to take command of Fort Jef
ferson, on the Tortugas, and it was considered by
himself and his friends a sort of banishment. Within
the last month, however, the President and the Sec
retary have separated, the latter having taken ground
against the Union, and the military officer proves to
be one of the strong arms of the country. He is
handsomely entrenched, with an abundance of pro
visions, ammunition, and men, in one of the most
important fortresses of the Government, and being a
native Pennsylvanian, will no doubt do credit to him
self, his State, and his country.--T he Philadelphia
Press.
MOVEMENTS OF SECESSION.—Every effort is being
made by the Secessionists to, operate on Virginia, and
a despatch was forwarded to Charleston from Wash
ington and re-telegraphed to Richmond, that troops
bad been ordered to Fort Sumter. This is only one
of many specimens of invention with a purpose in
view that must be conjectured.
THE DEFENCE OF THE CAPlTAL.—Washington, Feb.
I.—Two qpmpanies of artillery arrived to-day from
Fort Hamilton.
There are now five companies of that arm of the
service, which, together with the infantry and ma
rines, make about six hundred Federal -troops in
Washington and its vicinity.
Orders have just been issued for the enrolment of
all citizens subject to military duty in the District of
Columbia.
Bosron, Feb. I.—The Senate, to-day, refused to
take up the resolutions appointing Commissioners to
the Conference of States at Washington, by a vote of
sixty yeas to twelve nays.
SEIZURE OF THE MINT AND CUSTOM House AT NEW
ORLEANS.—Nerr Orleans, February lat.—The United
States Mint and Custom House were quietly taken
possession of yesterday by the State authorities. The
officers continued in their positions, having taken the
oath prescribed by the Ordinance of Secession to-day.
The balance in the Mint at New Orleans, was
$389,238; and in the hands of the Sub-Treasurer
there, $121,238.
Goon NEWS FROM Atannte.--Liteliable advices from
Alabama bring the assurance that the Secessionists
have been forced to yield to the overwhelming Union
sentiment in the northern part of the State, and re
consider their hasty action so far as to provide for
submitting the ordinance of secession to the people.
THE Tare'. OF JectcaLow.--Trenton, N: J., Febru
ary 2d:—The jury in the Jackalow case came in to
dny, at noon, and rendered a verdict of robbery, as
charged in the first count of the indictment.
MEXICO.—The steamship Tennessee, which, arrived
at New Orleans from .Vera Cruz, brings dates from
that port to the 23d, and from the capital to the 19th
ult. Jaurez had made his entry into the capital amid
great rejoicings, and there were but two - or three
small armed bands of the beaten faction in the field
which might be easily dispersed.
CONGRESS.
To ESDA Y, JAN. 29.--SsiverE.—Several amendments
to the Pacific R. R. bill were adopted.
Momma.—The daily Overland Mail proposition
passed. It limits the cost to $BOO.OOO. The mail is
to start from the western frontier of Missouri, and
go through to Placerville in twenty days for letters
and papers, and thirty-five days for magazines and
documents, but which last may be sent by steamer
at the contractor's expense. Bids are to be received
till April, the contract to commence on July Ist, or
as soon thereafter as possible. Denver and Salt Lake
are to be supplied semi-weekly by the contractor.
The postage on letters is to be ten cents, and on pa
pers one cent. The bill was passed by a vote of 101
against 64.
WEDNESDAY, 30.—SENATE.—The Pacific Railroad
bill vyas finally passed. .The bill to provide a tem
porary government for the territory ofJefferson, was
taken up. The name was changed to Idaho.
llousc—Representative Cobb, of Alabama, stated
that be had received a certified copy of the secession
of Alabama, and, therefore, he tendered his resigna
tion to the House. • He reviewed the history off - the
country, and declared his regret at leaving Congress.
During the session a mess+ was received from the
President, announcing that he had signed the Kan
sae bill.
THuaswor, .31.—SENATE.—Mr. Seward presented
the memorial of thirty-eight thousand citizens of New
York City, sAing in substance for the passage of the
Border State resolutions. Mr. Seward accompanied
the presentation with a speech, very hopeful and
rn
conciliatory, but soewhat'indeffnite, in tone. He
said, in regard to the remaining unorganized terri
tory:
"Now, under what is -ItOoPted by the Admistra
tion as a judicial decree, upheld by it, and put in
practical operation by it, 'eOry inch of this territory
is slave territory. I speak of that decision, not as I
accept it, but as it is.accepted and enforced by the
existing Administratioti. '•Every foot of it is slave
territory, as much so ail' SOnth'ettrolina. Over a con
siderable portion of it a slarkeede has been made by
a Government created by the, Congress of the United
States, and is enforced; l :, that, according to the
claims of those who insis upon their right in the
territory of the United Sta 4s, for slavery, the whole
la
of this one million sixty-11110 thousand miles is slave
territory. How-many Blade ' are there in it? How
many have been brought in o it during these twelve
As
years, in which it has notiordy been relinquished to
slavery, but in which the court and Legislature, and
the Administration, have maintained, protected, de
fended, and guarantied slavery there? Twenty-four
African slaves: one slave for every forty-four thou
sand square miles." i
Here be argued the comparative " practical nsigni
-
ficance of the question of slavery in the territories.
He also said:
r i -,
"A great many partisa interests are to be sup
pressed, such as the partis t an 'interests expressed by
the Charleston platform, 010 Baltimore platform, and
the Chicago platform. If
_the Union is in danger,
and is to be saved, theSe `iiiterests, and these plat
forms, and everybody standing on them- or connected
with them, are to pass awl* before the Union can be
saved." t .
Senator Hunter seemed to become incensed in
&pro
portion as Senator Seward came more conciliatory!
and insisted on perverting he speech into a declara
tion of war, doubtless in' er to aid his traitorous
plans in Virginia. Mr- , uglas ,entered the, lists
against Mr: Mason., . . .. ,

FRIDAY, FEB. 1., SEN'arz.—Sen — athan,

sage, condemning secession . ; but depreb - ating coercion,
as he called it.
The Tariff bill was repo#ed with amendments and
made the special order r Wednesday next. The
Diplomatic Appropriation ill was passed. The cre
dentials of Edgar - A.'Cow of Pennsylvania, were
presented. The Exeetitiv and Judicial Appropria
tion bill was then taken u and passed, after which
the Senate went lute Exeputive session and subse
quently adjourned. ,
Rouse.—Mr. Kellozg, of Illinois, offered a substi
tute for the Committee of Thirty-three's proposition,
which was ordered to be printed. It adopts the line
of 36°, 30 , , and prohibits' congressional and territo
rial legislation on slavery below that line, in territory
now in possession of the government.
Mr. Hamilton, of Texas', made a very patriotic
speech, in the conclusion de which he said he had
been called on here and at home to come to the as
sistance of the destroyers, and he had been threatened
and entreated to come to this course, but no threats
and dangers should tear him away from the Union
until he had seized the horns of the altar and im
plored heaven to allay the storm and again uproar
the same pillars which sustain the weight and add
theirwted beauty to„ the,. structure. [Great ap
plause,Mr. btokes, of Tennessee t i . e?ebboed the noble sen-
timents of Senator JohnsonrMr. Etheridge and other
patriots from, the same State3.< He said he did not
think his-State would sever : Speaking of disunion,
he said:
"The object was to re-open the African slave trade,
conquer Mexico, and annex Cuba. Disunion was the
scheme of a few excited maOmen and politicians, am
bitious men seeking for povier. He admitted that
he was a submissionist, and would rather be called
this than a rebel and a traitor, He was for the
Union, the Constitution; and the enforcement of the

but would not submit to South Carolina coercing the
other States. Firmness and'moderation ought to be
exercised. He believed the difficulties can and would
be adjusted to the satisfaction of the Border States,
but not to that of South Carolina and other seceded
States."

-GENERAL
The Census of Missouri shows that State to have
1,407,536 whites, 113,188 slaves, and 3,902 free ne
groes, or in the aggregate 1,524,626. This is much
larger than Missouri has jet been announced as
having, and it places the State next in rank to. Illi
nois in point of population, the total being larger
than either Indiana or Virginia.
Rail Roads in remisylvania.—Our good old
State has now more miles of railway in operation
than any State in the Union, except Ohio. The lat
ter has 3057, while we have 2943, according to an
account published in the U. S. Economist, ,a New
York paper. The next States in rank to us in this
respect, are Illinois, with 2,924 miles in operation,
New York, 2808, and Indian ;2,958. But as regards
the total length of lines, of which these miles form
parts, our State is far ahead of all, except Ohio. We
rank thus: Ohio, 4133 milegjennsylvania, 3972; Il
linois, 3551; New York, 3455; Texas, 2667; Indi
ana, 2522. While, therefore, Illinois is now very
near us in the matter of miles in operation, she will
ultimately be distanced when all our roads shall have
been compleied.
Considering the enormous difficulties under which
we have labored in building railroads over our moun
tainous soil; the progress we have made is truly sur
prising. In the item of cost, of construction and
equipment we head the list. thus:--Pennsylvania,
$151,529,629; New York, $145,259,702; Ohio, $ll7,
353,116; 111in0i5,.5106,975,581. No other State comes
within gunshot of these figures.—U. S. Gaulle.
FOREIGN
Sumnpry.
The following is a summary of the European news
to the ISth, received by;the arrival of the Bohemian.
It is expected that an imperial decree will soon ap
pear that if Piedmont makes war on Austria she
need expect no assistance from France, Great mili
tary preparations are in orogress. The Spanish go
vernment has issued instructions to the commander
of the fleet to keep strict neutrality at Gaeta. The
bembardment of Gaeta was to . have been resumed on
Monday, the 21st Jan. It is.nottrue that the ships
of any foreign PoWer wilk,take the place of the
French fleet. The Sardiniass have resolved to at
tack Gaeta by sea innnsdiately.' The London Times ,
deprecates the secession gmement in America.
Later,
By the arrival of the steamship Arabia at New
York, from Liverpool, we haveinews from Europe to
the 20th. At the latest dates from Gaeta, only one
French vessel remained there. . Garibaldi 'was re
ported to have announced his intention to go shortly
to Constantinople. The war,iindelcy is reported as
slackening in Italy. French' war preparations are,
very active. The drain of gold from the Bank of
France continued. War-like preparations are active
in Denmark. It is said that a treaty is being nego
tiated between Prussia and Austria, guarantying
the possession of Venice to 'Austria. The King of
Prussia has made a war-like speech to his generals,
which has created quite a sensation in Paris.. General
Klapka is report - ed to be in the principalities gather
ing his forces for the rising in. Hungary.

TOBY—On Tuesday, the 29th ult., in this city, Miss Ra
clin. TOBY. On the first inst., her father, Capt. Sun EON
Tour.
Just as the hour arrived for ,the interment of his
daughter, the father breathed his last. The scene was
awfully impressive, Both were valuable members of
the "Old Pine Street' Church." Capt. &mon Toby
united with the congregation under the pastorship of
Rev. Archibald Alexander, more than half a century
since, and has always been regarded as one of its most
useful members. For purity of life, amiability of tem
per, and fulness of charity, he was a model man. Says
the Evening Bulletin:—
Capt. T. was born in England; but early in life he
fixed his home in Philadelphia. For more than a quar
ter of a century he lived upon the spot where he finally
died. The deceased was bred to the sea; he was en
gaged in the Havana trade about the year 1806, and after
the war of 1812, he became connected with the house of
Chandler Price and Benjamin Morgan as cammander in
their line of packets between this city and New Orleans;
being captain, of the old ship Ohio and the new one of
the same name, built after the other was wrecked. About I
1823, he abandoned the sea, and was elected President
of the Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania,
which of f ice he held until a few years ago. He was, at the
time of his death, President of the Shipmasters' Society.
Captain-Toby was well known in commercial and ship- I
Plug circles, and he was universally esteemed as a gen
tleman of unblemished integrity and probity.

AMERICAN SLAVERY JUSTIFIED
American Slavery Distinguished from the Slavery of
English Theorists, and Instilled by the
Lam of Nature.
BY. REV. SAMUEL SEABUR/, D. D.,
Author of "Discourses on the. Supremacy and Obliga
tion of Conscience," etc. 1- vol., 12mo. Cloth extra
Pricp 1 dollar.
The. country has been flooded with anti-slavery argu
ments ; antislavery societies have persevered in syste
matic, vigorous, and ingenious efforts to inculcate their
peculiar views by means of public harangues, newspa
pers, novels, sermons, tracts, pictures. and 'other means
of influencing the public. Meanwhile but very little
has been done to present the other side of the subject.
The American people believe in full and free discussion,
and can hardly wish to decide any quistion after bearing
only one side, and even those who have formed opinions
will be willing to consider argumt.nts, even though they
tend to different conclusions, which come from an emi
nent source, and which are at once able, forcible, and
kind.
The present work offers such arguments from such a
source. Published by MASON BROTHERS,
