The Pastor and the Sabbath School.—A cor
respondent of the S. S. Times, speaking of the pros
perous condition of the Sabbath school of the First
Church, St. Louis, says:
One of the most precious influences enjoyed by our
school, comes from the active sympathy and co-ope
ration with our pastor, the Rev. Henry A. Nelson,
D. D., whose unwearied care for "the lambs of the
flocks," is one of the most loveable and endearing
traits of his charter. Not only does he spare, from
the demands of pulpit and people," time for sug- ,
gestion, supervision, and encouragement, in our regu
lar sessions, but on every fourth Sabbath in the
month the school is assembled in, the church to hear
the "monthly sermon to children," a feature which
has become as much an "institution" with us as any
of the observances of the sanctuary. These sermons
are from scriptural texts, which the children them

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 froth 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 direetion; 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
hag been allowed to lonatuenee, except at the op._
tion of the preprietore.
POSTMASMS.—The Postmaster General 14
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 aro liable

OUR OWN CHURCH.
Rev. Dr. Ezra B. Ely,—An intimation was given
in a daily newspaper, that Rev. Dr. Ezra S. Ely had
recovered his health in some good degree. Rejoicing
to hear this, I called a few days since to see him,
when I was astonished to find him a perfect wreck,
both in body and mind. He is, in many respects,
helpless as a babe ; and it requires the attention of
two persons to take proper care of him.
Ile can scarcely utter a word distinctly; and that
fluency of speech, for which he was so remarkable, is
gone for ever. As very many of the clergymen, in
the days of his prosperity, enjoyed his unbounded
hospitality, I thought they would like to know how
it is with him now.
lie is, for the expo part, submissive and resigned,
sometimes even 4heerful, always glad to see hit
friends ; but alas, many of those, who called them
selves such, never even tall to inquire for him now I
He is a great .burden to his family, but by the
anxious care of a devoted wife, he is made comforta

Presbyterian ITnion.—Under this caption, the
Tribune, of Chicago, (secular,) mentions, with plea
sure, the fact, that the "week of prayer" was ob
served in that city, by the Presbyterian churches,
Old and New School, uniting in their services, and
says:
" So far as we know, this is the first time such a
service has been held since the division of the As
sembly in 1838, and it gives us pleasure to netioe, that
the churches of Chicago have had Independence, shall
we add, piety, enough to unite in such a meeting.
The services were led alternately by the clergymen
of the different churches, and on Wednesday evening
Dr. Rice preached one of the ablest and most practi
cal sermon s it was — ever our good fortune to hear.
The meetings were fully attended, and were cha
racterized throughout by a kind and deeply devo
tional spirit, and if they have no other effect, will
produce a better understanding, and more fraternal
spirit, among those who attended them. The inci
dent shows that great'-Christian progress has been
made since 1854, when both General Assemblies be
ing then in session in POiladeiphia, ene of them re
fused to engage in communion services with the
other, and it marks the approach of the day when no
clumsy adjectives will be necessary to Amerika the
Presbyter= church."
Presbyterian of our Union (0. S.)
The Presbytery of Minnesota met at St. Paul,
January 15th. Rev. W. 3. klrdmarp, (late of Reading,
Pa.,) now supplying the pulpit of the House of Hope,
St. Paul i was present.
Rev. Marcus Hicks was appointed Commissioner
to the General Assembly; Rev. John Mattocks, Al
ternate.
Elder 0, Lyman, of Stillwater, was appointed Lay
Conamisslorter, and Eider W. L. Wilson, of St. Paul,
Alternate.
The subject of a Synodical Missionary, to labor
within the . 'bounds of the Synod of Minnesota, was
introduced and diseussed, and referred to a commit
tee, consisting of Rev. J. Mattocks and Elder H. M.
Knox. The committee made the following report,
which was unanimously adopted:
" avingbeard the Rev. J. M.Williams, we are deeply
impressed with the necessity of the appointment of a
Synodical Missionary. We feel that the interests of
our church in Minnesota demand an itinerating mis
sionary; that it is indispensable to the nurturing into
strength our feeble churches, and the formation of new
churches at points not otherwise occupied by churches
of our common Calvinistic faith. We express our con
fidence that such Missionary laber would greatlY ad
vance the interestsof our particular church, and the.ge•,.
neral Church of Christ in the State. We oleo express
our confidence in the fitness of Rev. J. M. Williams,
now of Florence, in this State, for this particular field
of labor. And we pledge this Presbytery to sympa
thize and co•operate with him, whenever he shall have
become a member of the Synod of Minnesota."
The Presbyterial Comutittee of Domestic Missions,
is composed of Revs. J. Mattooks,.E. D. Neil, 0,11.
Pond, and Elder H. M. Knox.
After a free conversation on the subject of religion,
with reports from the Churches, the Committee on
Narratives, by Rev. Marcus Hicks, presented the fol
lowing narrative of the State of Religion:
The past year has been a year of trial to the stead
fastness of our faith. There hae been no outpouring
of the Spirit upon our Churches. The small num-

A Large Bequest—ln the midst of dark times,
we are glad this week to be able to state that our
church has received a large bequest in the last week
by the death of a brother in'K.entucky, whose name
we have not learned. He has willed his estate to the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church. From what we
loam, it will not fall short of thirty thousand dollars.
The fact has transpired so recently that we have not
learned any particulars of the will, or what direction
is given by the donor to his bounty. We learn that
it is willed to the Assembly's'Board - of Trustees for
the benefit of the churoh.—Banner of Peace—Cumb.

Revivals.-- The Pittsburgh panner says: "A
delightful work of grace is in progress in the church
of Chambgaburg, Pa., of which the Rev. Samuel J.
Nimbi f pastor. Some forty have been already
hopefully converted, and others are'inquiring.
In Georgetown, Mercer county., Pa., the church
has been greatly revived, and quite a. number have
given evidence of conversion to God. The pastor,
Rev. Mr. Shields ' is. reatly encouraged.
The church at Tuscarora, Pa., Rev. G. W. Thomp
son, D. D., Pastor, is experiencing a time of ,refresb
rng from the Lord; there have been over one hundred
and fifty inquirers. A large number of these are from
the admirable schools of that place..
At Pine Grove church, Rev. S. M. Moore, pastor,
there are fourteen inquirers.
We also learn from the Presbyterian Herald that
the church (0. S.) at Daniille, Kentucky, is now en
joying a precious work of grace: About one hundred
persons have come forward to ask an interest in the
prayers of God's people. The meeting was continued
from the week,of prayer, and has constantly increased
in interest up to the present time. All the institu
tions and the whole country participate alike in this
interest.
Presentation "to 'a Pastor.—Rev. Robert Arm
strong, pastor of the Fifth United Presbyterian
Church, of this city, has accepted a call from the
United Presbyterian congregation of Newburgh, N.
Y.' Previous to his departure, his former congrega
tion resolved to teuder to their much respected pastor
a substantial tdken of their esteem: On Wednesday
eventing, of last week large number oktheadagreirittian
- 116 - senlect at effe - iesaience — oTTAF:W. M. McKnight,
No. 2016 Coates street, and presented to Mr. Arm
strong a beautiful tea service of silver. The follow
ing inscription was tastefully engraved upon it. "To
Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong, as a token of affec
tionate regard, from the members of the Fifth United
Presbyterian Congregation of Philadelphia."
Dr. Itodge'a Article on the State of the Conn
try.—A correspondent of the Louisville (Kentucky)
Pres& Herald says:
"As to the article of Dr. Hodge, of which the
Central Presbyterian complains so bitterly, I have
to say, I regard it the fullest, fairest, ablest article I
have yet seen on the state of the country. And lam
as out and out a Southern man as anybody; and I
am in interest, blood and feeling, as much identified
with the history and welfare, both of Virginia and
Kentucky, as any man can be. And I, too, sat
three years at the feet of Dr. Hodge. And if I ever
saw a man that bad the "spirit of Christ," Charles
Hodge is that man; and I see nothing in that article
to change my views on that subject. The excited pao
ple seem to be willing to endure nothing which is
not all on their side. Not a syllable must be Con
ceded to the other side."
Rev. Dr. Leyburn.—lt will be a matter of gene
ral concern to hear through a letter from this gentle
man, published in the last Presbyterian, that not far
from Jericho, "he fell among thieves, who stripped
him," It appears that he and Mr. Low, from Min-.
nesota, had gone from Jerusalem down to the Dead
Sea. On the 27th of December, soon after bathing
in the Jordan, they were suddenly attacked by a
party of nine armed Bedouin Arabs from the mountains
of Moab, robbers of the very worst class. They were
stripped of nearly, all their clothing, and their joint
loss was six or seven hundred dollars, that of Mr.
Low being much the greater.--Ceatral Presbyterian
Herald.
REPORNED DUTCH.
Rev. Dr. Henry H. Scudder and family arrived
safely at Madras, after a not unpleasant passage, on
the 10th of December last.
BAPTIST.
.Owning Christ ' s. Minister.—The Augusta (Ga.)
papers notice the death of Rev. Kelly Low, a colored
Baptist minister that city; who was held in gene
ral esteem, and whose funeral was attended by a
large concourse, of white citizens. The owner of the
deceased preacher .
n eays he was raised in his family,
and, was owned by him for twenty-five years, and that
he knew him to be as near a perfect man " as any I
have ever known, of any color. Indeed, I have al
ways viewed Jain _without spot or blemish in charac
ter and disposition, beidaning even in , his youth, and
continuing up to the day of his death."
NAM JerSey.—The Minutes of the Convention
show that there ,are in the .State one hundred and
twenty Baptist churches, with ninety-six pastors and
seventeen thou Sand one hundred and thirty-one mem
bers. The additions in the year by baptism were
nine hundred and thirty-three. The churches have
one hundred and thirty-three Sabbath schools, with
' one thousand seven hundred and forty-three teach
ers, eleven thousand eight hundred and sixty-one
scholars, and forty-three thousand one hundred and
eighty-two books in their libraries.
New York.—The Minutes of the Convention give
a list of eight hundred and twenty-eight Baptist
churches in the'State, with seven hundred and sixty
three ministers, one hundred and three licentiates,
and ninety-throe thousand two hundred and three
members. The baptisms within the year were three
thousand eight hundred and eighty-five.
Song of Songs.—The book critic of the Boston
WaEckman and Reflector regards Dr. Burrowes'
commentary on this song as a failure, and declares
the. external evidence for the canonical authority of
the book to be insufficient. As to the internal evi
dence, he has a host of difficulties.

A Union Church.—The new church edifice, built
jointly by the German Reformed and Lutheran con

City Rail Road Fares.—The vexed question re
specting city railroad fares was finally decided
after a long controversy, in which it looked, at
one time, as if two systems were about to he-put
in practice upon the roads. The - companies unani
mously agreed to keel) the old rates, so that single
rides will cost five, and double rides, or exchange
tickets, seven
n eents. This policy is to exist for one
year from the 9th of February.
The Coldest Day of the Winter.—At six o'clock
on the morning of Friday the Bth, the thermome
ter marked a temperature of one degree below zero,
which was lower, by one degree, than on the morning
of the 13th of January, the coldest day up to that
period. By twelve o'clock yesterday, the weather had
only slightly moderated, the mercury being then
but six degrees above zero. The change from noon
on Thursday to six o'clock the morning after, was
very unusual, even for our variable latitude. In the
twelve hours the mercury fell 47i degrees, at the rate
of nearly four degrees an hour.
GENERAL
Mr. Seward's Successor.--judge Harris is a re
sident of Albany, about fifty years of age, and until
quite recently has been, for several years, on the
bench of the Supreme Court of New York. In this
position his great legal learning, his impartiality and
popular manners, have secured for him a high repu
tation and hosts of friends. He was formerly a mem
ber of both houses, of the New York LegAlature, and
was a distinguished member of the Constitutional
Convention of 1846. He was, at Me time, Chancel
lor of the University at Rochester, and is at present
Profesaor in The Law School, at Albany. His mihd

Patriotic Tableau iu Erie, Pa.—Some ladies in
this city , have been raising money for a benevolent
.object by means of, tableaux. One of the scenes is
thus described by the Erie Gazette:
' The next one, by a portion of the Wayne Guards
under Capt McLane, entitled "The Spirit of 1861,"

rican Flag over Fort Sumter, was greeted by storms
of applause—the ladies uniting with the gentlemen
in paying homage to the glorious stars and - stripes,
unfurled by the heroic Anderson before a revolting

THE VIRGINIA ELEOTION.--Seward's View of it—
Aro Troops needed in Washington.—Wash,ington, Feb.
sth.—The results of the Virginia election have ever
joyed.the friends of the Union. They now say that
we have grounds for negotiation and amicable settle
ment. While the border States kept up a sort of
sympathy with secession, they were received with
distrust. If they really mean Union, they will• be
met half way at least.
Mr. Seward, with his characteristic hope and con. :
fidence,,is particularly pleased with the result.. He
proneunces the Union safe e and that all the border
States will follow the example of the Old Dominion.
Seward also says that the work of the Border Confe
rence is as good as done. There is even no longer
need of keeping any Federal troops at the capital.
Virginia and Maryland will themselves protect the
seat of government.
Two months! trial of secession have utterly demo
ralized the secessionists and saved the doubtful States
without a single concession.-11: F. Post.
WHAT THEY'LL AGREE TO.--“l.,wish," said Sena
tor Simmons in his speech in the United States Se-,

somebody who was disaffected say would satisfy him.
I have not beard one of• them say so. The Senator

that he knew we would not do, he woulW then consi

that I have heard. [Laughter.] If we would stop

THE SMITH CAROLINA Rana°An.—By the annual
report of the South Carolina Railroad, it appears that
the income of the year, as compared with that of
1559, has suffered a diminution of ninety-seven thou
sand dollars. The receipts of cotton are 78,771 bales
less than in 1859.
THE SEVENTH STAR GONE.—New,Orleans, Feb. 6.
---Advices to the fifth instant have been received
from Galveston. The Convention passed the ordi
nance of secession - on the first instant—yeas 166,

and Commissioners are to remain as at present. The

if adopted, willgo into effect on the 2d of March.

ter months of tedious debate; upon submitting to. the
people of that State whether or pot . 'a Convention

Senate on Wednesday night last , provides that the
election shall be held on the 28th inst.,.and that ten
days shall be allowed the sheriffs to znake their re
turns. If a majority of the people Sete for the Con

ratification or rejection. If a majority Of th - e people
vote against a Conventionrthe Governor . shall make
known the. fact by proclamation. ',The action of the
Convention, will be confined.-to Federal matters; and
the members will be sworn to that effect.
FORT SUMTER.--The - Women and children have all
been sent away.; they reached Now" York on the fith
lust; the lei,test official intelligence on the subject of
this interesting point is the reply of Secretary Holt'
to certain Senators who were endeavoring to mediate
between South Carolina and the United States Go
vernment.
He says, January 22:
"As regards an' assurance that no reinforcements
be sent to Fort Semter, it is impossible for me
to give you any such assurances. The President
has no authority to enter into any such an agree
ment, or understanding. As an Executive officer, he
is simply bound to protect the public property, so
far as this trey be practicable—and it would be a
manifest violation of his duty to place himself under
engagements that he would not perform this duty,
either for an indefinite - or a liinited period. At the
present - moment it is not deemed necessary to rein
force Major Anderson, because he makes no such re
quest, and feels quite secure in his position. Should
his safety, however, require reinforcements, every ef
fort will be made to supply them."
Foirr DELAWARE.--This is an unfinished work of
the first class, in the Delaware Bay, about 40 miles
south of Philadelphia. The New York correspon
dent Of the Philadelphia Ledger writes, Feb. 6., as
follows—
"Telegraphic despatches were received from Ge
neral Scott this afternoon, ordering p detachment of
thirty men from Fort Columbus, in this harbor, to
Fort Delaware. One bour after the order was re-
ceivecl, they were on the way, via Jeriey City, to
their destination, each man armed with his rifle and
twenty-five rounds of ball cartridge."
BRIGHT NEWS FROM ARKANS6S.—SORatOT Sebastian,
of Arkansas, who has refused to attach his name to
any of the Disunion documents issued by other of the
Southern Senators. and Representatives for the pur
pose of influencing their States to withdraw from the
Union, has lately received the most gratifying intel
ligenee from his State, to the effect that Arkansas
will remain true to' the Constitution and the laws—
and not follow the bad example of her neighbor,
Louisiana. '
THE Anus SEIZED iQ NEW Yomr.—The Governor
of Georgia has demanded of Governor Morgan the
arms destined for Georgia, and seized on a vessel in
the harbor of New York..
Governor Morgan has replied by letter to the Go
vernor of Georgia, taking the ground that as the arms
were destined to be used to subvert the Government
which his official oath binds him to sustain, he could
not, so far as he had any control, permit arms to
leave this State which might be turned against our
own citizens.
THE SOUTHERN CONYEDERACY.--The Convention of
seceding States at Montgomery, Alabama, have
adopted the Constitution of the United States almost
in terms as the Constitution for their new Confede,
racy. They have also determined to adopt the pep-
Hoy of free trade and direct taxation in opposition to
the method used by this government for the purpose
CITY.
This regarded
of obtaining a revenue. , r This step is in
Washington as fatal to their hopes of securing the
cooperation of the Bordexislave States, as the people
of Tennessee, Kentucky, mad the other interior slave
States would never submit to direct taxation. The
Convention also appropriated one million dollars to
voi)
meet the expenses of the Provisional Government.

AFFAIRS IN ALABAMA.— he following is an extract
from a private business I ter from a gentleman of
wealth, influence and r actability, in Northern
Alabama:— - •
- "Alabama, Monday, - ja . 28th, 1861. You will
have heard before this, th ',this State is out of the
Union, not, however,. by a Tote of the 'people, but by
the act of hot-headed, corrapt-hearted • traitors, with
the Governor at the' head. If the action of the Con
vention had been submitted to the people, as, it ought
to have been, the, deeision 4ould have been set aside.
Thirty-three members of) the last Convention have
united in a strong protest against the refusal of the
Convention to submit its action-.to the popular vote.
TRE RESULT DT Ilkuirsxr.The Lynchburg Virgi
nian says :—"We are greatly rejoiced at the result
in this counry. Halifax is. the largest slave-holding
county in the State; has always been Democratic,
and gave Breckinridge ovErßell, a majority of 749
votes. And yet it has eldeted sound, conservative
men, lion. Thomas S. FlOiritoy and Jetties C. Bruce,
Esq., old Whigs, to the Qonvention.
Tan CITIES ARE FOR TIES ANION.---It is note-worthy
that all the cities of Virgitiia gave Union majorities

TRNNERSRE FOR THE I:f4 wriat sit • : Auts.—A
tlegramjust received .from Tennessee, by a member
of the- :House, states that ; no disunionist has been
elected to the Convention so far,: and the probability
is, the Convention itself has been voted down. The
re-action has begun in earnest.
CONGRESS:
.. . ..
TUESDAY, Feb. 5.----SENATE.—On Tuesday, a resolu
tion was reported from the Printing. Committee to
print 25,000 copies of the mechanical report of the
Patent office. Mr. Wigfall, of Texas, offered a reso
lution of inquiry as to whlt troops were concentrated
in Washington, their numbers; objects, &e. Mr-John
son, of Tennessee, made another earnest and patriotic
speech against secession, in which be quoted from
the Richmond Enquirer q 1814, referring to the Eart
ford
Convention, in which it was declared that no
State had the right to withdraw
.from the Union, and
that resistance to the law was treason, and the Go
vernment was called on to arrest the traitors, for the
Union must be saved at all hazards. Mr. Johnson
said he subscribed fully to these opinions. Mr. Tru
mbull reported a resolution, which was adopted, pro
tiding for the usual mode of counting the votes for
President and Vice President. The House Loan bill
was thentaken up and passed;' It repeals the old
fourteen millionloarrhill'of hist year,a.mfauthorizeis
a new loan, of twenty-five millions. .
Houss.—Mr. Taylor, of La., sent up to the Clerk's
desk and had read, the Loaisiana ordinance of seces
sion, after which he made .a speech on the subject,
announcing his withdrawal,. Mr. Bouligny, of La.,
said he would not withdraw. He was the only mem
ber of Congreas who was elected therefrom as an
AmericalfUnion man, and to - this 'principle he should
stand forever. [Applause.] When 'I came.here, be
added, I took' an oath to maintain therConstitution of
the United States. What does this mean? Does it
not mean the Union of the States, if I understand it
right? By that oath I shall stand:' Whenever in
structed 'by my immediate Constituents, and asked by
them to withdraw myself froth this House, their wishes
shall be complied with as soon as I receive the infor
mation. 'I shall, however, not only withdraw but re
sign my seat; but after I do so; I .shall continue to
be a Union man, and stand under the flag of the
country that gave me birth. [Long continued, ap
plause on the floor And the" galleries, intermingled
with cries of "good 1"] All;the rest of the delegation
withdrew formally. The House concurred in the
action of the Committee of the Whole on the Senate's'
amendment , to the Deficiency bill, rejecting the Chili'
qui amendment, and agreeing to the appropriation of
$13.5,000 to buy Wendell's printing office.
WEDNESDAY, Fat 6th.— ATE.—The Deficiency
r
bill was received, ith the use amendments. The
Senate agreed to insist up, 'their own amendment,
and recommend that a co ittee of conference be
appointed. A bill:was rep' " 'ad and laid over, pro
viding for the better organization of the militia in the
District of Columbia. Mr. Johnson completed his
speech. .
Houss.—The bill relative to the postal service was
called up and passed. The . bill - gives the Postmaster
General power to stop a post office, post route, or part
of a post route, when be may think that the postal
I laws may not be maintained. The;revenues collect
ed on the contents of, the mail remain inviolate until
it rcachee its -proper address.
Trtuasnav,7th.—Szobilz.---On the President's mes
sage, a violent and characteristic speech was made
by Mr. Wigfall, of Texas. Certainly it goes far to
reconcile unto secession to know that it will relieve
our national councils of members so utterly unwor
thy of a place in them, as are Mr; Wigfall and his
like.
IN TELE HOUSE, the bill passed last session by the
Senate, in relation to the re-organizatien of the Pa
t&nt Office and amending the patent laws, was passed
after being amended. The.consideration of the re
port of the Committee of Thirty-three was resumed,
and Mr. Corwin stated that be-would postpone his,
motion to close the debate till Thursday next. Mr.
Davis, of Maryland, then took the floor. He said:
We have seen a President neglecting the most solemn
warning of the,first military officer of the age, allovr
ing the forts to be taken iigssession of We have
seen him, subsequently, in*lng bargains for peace
with the disunionists, until he shall be relieved from
the responsibilities of office, instead of defending the
public property and vindicatiOg the public honor, and
without remonstrance, permitting the work of disin
tegration to go on. His secession to the supreme
power shows his utter incapacity for the Presiden
tial honors showered upon him. He did not wish to
quarrel about words; but the Constitution and the
laws of the United States must be enforced, and those
who stand across the path of that enforcement must
either destroy the power of the United States, or it
will destroy them.
After further discussion on the subject, he said he
could speak for Maryland, (applause in the,galleries,)
and that State has confidence in the strength of the
great government which protects her.
... Mr. Kunkel, of Maryland—lf you claim to speak
for that State, I desire to be heard. (Cries from the
Republican side of order.)
Mr. Davis—l, decline to yield the floor.
Mr. Kunkel, amid cries of order—Don't speak'for
Maryland, speak for yourself: "
,Mr. Davis—l 'represent the Fourth District, and
say ; whettite elected by the whole of Maryland or
not, I will speak for what I know to bd the seiltinient
of the people of Maryland. (Enthusiastic applause,
particularly in the galleries.)
Mr. Davis remarked that his friends would confer
a favor by refraining from expressing approbation.
The Speaker hoped that persons in all parts of the
hall would preserve order.
Mr. Davis—l did speak for the people of Mary
land.. If the issue is made, whoever may meet it on
the other side, I will meet him from St. Mary's to Al
legheny. I will meet him in every county. [-Ap
plause.]
Mr. Kunkel—Pll meet you here.
Mr. Winslow, of North Carolina, rose and called
attention to the disorder in the galleries.
'The Speaker hoped that all present would observe
order, and that there be no further cause of com
plaint. -
Mr. Spinner, 'of i New York, said that it ill became
gentlemen on the other side to make objections, when
treason had been preached without rebuke.
Mr. Davis resumed, repeating that Maryland dine
not recognise the right of secession. She does not
recognise the right to repeal the supreme law of the
land. If any Convention should be there called, of
whatever character, and under whatever auspices,
those who should presume to inaugurate revolution
would'meet with revolutionary resistance on the soil
of Maryland, under the stars and stripes. They will
not allow a majority nor a' minority to, drag them
from the Union. Within Maryland are men who will
assume an armed resistance to anything looking to
armed rebellion, -
Mr.. Kunkel--rDoes my colleague inaugurate it
now? (Cries of order by the Republicans.). '.
Mr. Davis - , resuming, expressed his contempt, for
platforme Si Sail's to catch pop filar breies, and, in
conelusien, advocated the report of the majority of
the committee.
FamsT, Feb. Btll.-:-SExkies.-a-A - dismission took
place on the 14Paormick reaper patent, and a resoln
titan was passed , to extend the time for taking testi
mony: The Committee of Conference on the Loan
bill reported that the committee had agreed to, an
amendment to the 'effect that the amount accruing
from the former loan shell' be applied to the redemp
tion of the outstanding Treasury notes under the set
of December 17th; 1860, which was agreed to.
IN THE HOUSE the bill for the adjustthent of the
Claims of the Puget Sound Agricultural Company,
under the treaty with Great Rritain, was passed. It
authorizes persons residing in Washington territory
within one year to make application for the confir
mation of their title ,to the land elaimed by them.
The Speaker laid before the House a message from
the President , endorsing the correspondence with
Col. Rayne. It was referred to the Select Committee
of Fiverand ordered to be printed.
SITURDAY, Feb. oth SENATE.—The Naval Appro
priation bill was passed.
Houss:- , --On motion of Mr. Bolder, a resolution
was adopted, requesting the President to communi
cate to 'the Rouse the correspondence between our
government and that of Peru, since 1853, on - the:sub
ject of the free navigation of the. Amazon and its tri
butaries. On motion of Mr. Corwin, theilouse post
poned the consideration of the repprt of the Commit-
tee of Thirty-three after to-day till Thurtiday next. 1
The report of 'the: Committee was then debated i
Committee, until the Rouse adjourned. The Pr -
dent has approved and signed the twenty-five milli
e
loan bill, which passed both Housettas originally re-:
ported, with amendments, providing that the revenue
from the loan authorixed by the act of June, 1850, or
so much as may be deemed necessary, shall be appli
cable to the redemption of the Treasury notes issued
under the act of last December, and for no other pur
pose.
MONDAY, Feh.IIth.—SENATE. —Another conference

hers, in the sixteenth' year of her age.
To those who are familiar with sorrow, death is often
a coveted boon, and the tomb a restint plate secure
from human afflictions, its gloomy silence, being wel
comed with cheerful resignation. But to those who are
stringers to'carking care, who know nothing . of the trou
bles of this life, who are crowned with thpigarlands of
friendship, and have their pathway lighted by the Torch
of Love, the tyrant's stroke would, indeed, he terrible,
did not , sweet religion" heal the wound, and a Saviour
welcome .the fleeting spirit to a home in heaven. How
ever severe the blow to the stricken parents, and crush
ing. to the gentle feelingi of a kind and affectionate sis
ter, may be' tbe departure of her whose thread of life hai
been severed like that of a budding rose, by the blasting
influence of a sudden storm, still are her parents con
soled by the certainty that their child inherits a blissful
eternity where they, through.the Medium of a SaViour's
love, may meet her, no more to part.
And now, beauteous maiden, recentlyso gay and joy
ous, but now shedding a mourner's tears at the loss of
one whose earliest love was thine, lie comforted and
assured that what is to thee a grievous loss, is to her an
incalculable gain.
The ibove reflections are suggested by the late de
emt e of Miss Sallie F. Chambers, above-mentioned, in.
the sixteenth year of her age, whom "None knaiv but to
foie," "None mentioned but to praise."

AMERICAN SLAVERY JUSTIFIED.
American Slavery Distinguished from the Slavery of
English Theorists, and Justified by the
Law of Nature .
BY REY. SAMUEL SEABURY, D. D.,
Author of "Discourses on the Sulnernany and Obliga
tion of Conscience," etc. I vol;, litino. Cloth extra
Price 1 dollar
The country has been flooded with anti-slavery argu
ments; anti-slavery 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 question after hearing
only one side, and even those who have formed opinions
will be willing to consider arguments, even though they
tend to different conclusions, which come from an emi
nent source, and which are at once ab?e, forcible, and
kind.
The present work offers such arguments from such a
source. Published by HASON BROTHERS,
