THOMAS iAINERD* I lOHN'JENNINS; ILY EDN DARLING* :THOMAS ./..SSEPHERIi PRAY POR THE COUNtRY: Is we go to press, the country, from one end to the other, is in a state of excitement perhaps unparalleled in• , the whole history of our recent troubles. After :pursuing a policy of forbear ance and pbafr o until some began to fear that everything that could be exacted by the' rebel States would be yielded, ane oar country hunii irate& in the eyes' of the whole world, the admi nistration heti suddenly roused froin its seeming inactivity, assumed a warlike attitude,, and is pushing forward every possible preparation for hostilities, at , its principal naval depots .in the North. .No less than twenty vessels of war, with an armament of 414 guns, and requiring four thousand. sailors and marines to man them, have been ordere4 into service, or are actually' engaged on our Oast. Besides -r thes6, three ocean steamers, the Illinois, the Atlantic, and the Baltic, have been chartered by the Govern ment, and the first two have been loaded with vast quantities of military stores• and provisions of every'kind, together with hundreds recruits. Officers are hurriedly commanded to their posts, under sealed orders. Messengers are hastening to and fro bearing despatches, which the Govern ment will not trust to the ordinary channels of communication.. With wisdom, and a true re gard to its own dignity, the Executive keeps its own counsel; and conjecture is utterly at fault as to the exact purpose of all this sadden and extraordinary activity. Telegraph wires in the direction of the South are out of order; while rumors of hostilities commenced, or about to commence ; at Ports Sumter and Pickens, gar nish the news columns, and fly from mouth to mouth. All agree that we are on •the eve of critical events. It is, indeed, denied that the Government ,is about to take the offensive, and it is not unlikely that such a sudden and grand development of energy, may itself have the ef fect to ensure peace. But that peril is foreseen in some quarter, that violence is feared, that circumstances are expected to arise, which may convert those grim vessels into volcanoes of flame, and hurl those munitions of war against the forms of our own misguided brethren, can_ not be doubted. it is a, prospect direful to contemplate. We will not venture to open our eyes, or to employ our pens, upon it. There is only one thing worse than for Americans to fight mach other, and that is to give the unavoidable occasion for it. We. write to call upon all within reach of our influence to pray, as they have never prayed before, for their Country. We have prayed -to be kept from this state of anarchy and aliena tion,, but God, for wise purposes, has suffered ns to fall into it. Now, as we seemlo be near ing the great struggle which is to deckle the questiOn of the supremacy of law upon this 'eon timid; which has wrapped, up in its issues the welfare of oar children and our children's chil dren ; which is probably to deterinine the con dition of the African race, as related to our own social systenklet _earnestly cry to God for his powerful and beneficent interposition, to grant. our misguided brethren at the South a return to reason, to save us from war and frbm sacrifice of prineiple, to bestow. His wisdom upon our Executive and his counsellors, and to bring such an issue from our difficulties as shall shed new lustre upon the pages of history,"and' urnish a fresh starting point for our country and our race in the march of modern advancement God can bring positive and great good out of all these commotions and evils; who can doubt that he will do it? But he must be inquired of for those things. Let us be importunate at his throne of grace. Let Ministers in'the pulpit, let parents at the family altar, let Christians at their secret devotions, pour their petitions into the ear of the Lord of Hosts; and, for his Son's sake, en treat him not to forsake the people whom we have ventured, from his wondrous providence towards them in times past, to ,regard as his chosen. It is narrated that on the Sabbath-day on which the bloody and long doubtful battle of Inkerman was fought, the Chaplain of the Eng lish Embassy in Constantinople, hundreds of miles away, and ignorant of the facts, in the midst of his formal repetitions, burst forth, as If by stulden inspiration, into an extempora neous prayer in behalf of his country, which, lengthened itself on and on, until his, congrega tion' declared that he had prayed a full hour I There was need of such importunity, as the world soon heard; but the cause of England at last . prevailed.,. Though our .cause is diverse, there 411 surely equal reason for the descent of a largo measure; Of the spirit of grace and suppli cation upon us, in behalf of our cOuntry. EENIVA,L TN lOWA--HELP NEEDED. A 'few days since, we received the following i4tereathw letter, with its accompanying plea. We lay it before our readers, feeling confident that it' will meet with a response. In fact, it has al idadi met with a response, for a few moments after receiving it, we happened to meet with a be- Aevplept ,lady of the Central Church, Wilmington, and read it in her hearing. She placed $2 in our bands to be 'applied to the object designated. Wo'ihall be happy to receive, and applyany other dOnitions that our friends may 'see fit to make.

This is mis sionary ground.; The members of the Church are doing all they oan, and will still press on. We want a Church, but lOW wait until ,we have more strength. Respectfully yours. P. B.

Inifie?,ll4y6;7lo7Oliirirdfielife triiTy representative men in the latter movement, than Baxter, Howe and Owen, were at the former. It will be an evil day for the church and the world, 'When the names and services . ef either of ifiek i •e menere lightly 'regarded or their *arks neglected by the theological teacher and student. John Owen's life, 14 full of stirring interest, derived from its remarkable Contrasts, perhaps as much as anything else. Disinherited, and thr i own upon his "awn resources in early life for espousing the popular cause; in his later years, whielr,were passed under the restored dynasty of the Stuarts, the proceeds of his works, and the pinfairtYV his second wife paced r bun above want j one Of the last. scenes ,of :his life was the seizure of his horses' heads by Charles' informers, as lie drove in his own carriage through the streets oflondon. A stern and consistent man, the chaplain and eetin seller of Cromivell, and recipient front hishands of the Vice-Chanceliorahip, of the, University , of Oxford, with many other marks of favor, we yet hear of him, udniitied- to private 'confereriee with the second Charles,' and as' frequently,e4- ,• , • plied from royal,sourees, with informalionWhieh he uses to the great advantage of his brother non- nonformists, whom he never.disavowed. At one time, Charles intrusted him with a thousand ouineai to` employed in mitigating - the suffer ings of his , poorer brOthren. It .was Ow,en, who upon being familiaily asked by, _Charles,. how ,a learned man like him could go and hear etinker, (Bunyan) prate, is said to have answered; "May it please your majesty, could I possess thelinker's abilities for preaching, I would willingly relinquish my learning." Living in an' age, and occupying I positions which made extraordinary demands upon 1 the practical qualities of men, to which he re- sponded in a degree that made him the ac knowledged leader of the Puritan counsels, he was yet so astonishingly active, profound and 'ex haustive, as a theological writer, that his works. amaze and awe' us by their very number and:magni tude, and the chief of them stand as Mester-pieces in their several departments. ,His ;practical ; gifts and tendencies„ appear from the fruits of his pas tqral fidelity in his parish at Fordhams where like Baxter at Kidderminster, he witnessed a wide spread, and enduring reformation F among the people. Born in an age of intolerance, and one' of a people who, both in England and America, gave no obscure intimation of a disposition to adopt as part of their policy the same exclusive and intolerant principles, which had worked so disastrously for them in the hands of their ene mies; he, from the first, and perseveringly, resisted such a policy, and preached and wrote in favor of practising those more . Christian principles, in the treatment of "the various religious denominations and creeds of men, which waited for universal adoption, to a still more enlightened age of the I Protestant world. Whatever maybe true of the Pu ritans, as a class, John Owen, pleaded for the same measures of toleration when his party was in power, as when they, were in,danger of the stake. When Owen and his friends in London, heard of the Ver- Secution Which the Independents of New'England were waging against the Quaker§ and Baptists of the colony; th,ey joinedin a letter of remonstrance, in which .occurs the following remarkable sen tence: "We only make it our hearty'request that 'you will trust God with his truth and ways, so far es to suspend all rigorous proceedingsiin corpo real restraints or punishments on persons that dis sent from you, and practise the principles of their dissent without danger or, disturbance, to the civil peace of the people." Though probably the ablest, polemic, and-most formidable antagonist in con troversy of his day, he was a man who held inti mate communion with God, who had " commitnion with God in the doctrine he contended for,", who walked on almost untouched and untrodden eminences of holiness, and whose practical trea tises display a profound acqUaintauee with the na tural and the regenerate heart, and are eminently calculated to . promote the believer's growth in,grace and in the knowledge of that Saviour, whom he truly made the end and aim of his, entire activity. Had he 'never written - any but his controversial works: those twaiest the. Socinians the A.ratini ans, the Prelatists, and the Intoierants of his time; he would have given evidence of profound learning, of a massive intellect, anti of dialectic ability, which would have - ensured him the permanent and ad miring recognition, of the theological world; but, he was conscious that there was a higher work for, the servant of God on earth than the refutation of error; and he reserved the richest 'treattres of his intellect; . and the highest exercise-of his Wren.: derful gifts, for the practical exhibition of the ons- , pel as a life-power;- for i bringing the doctrines of theology. to - bear on the wants and principles of our .moral natiire; , for the display of the Person and Glory of Christ; the mortification of Sin in • Believers; the exhibition of the mind of the Spirit in the :one hundred'and thirtieth Psalm ;`;and in that colossal commentary on the Hebrews, which Chalmers calls, "gigantic in strength as'well gigantic in size," and of which he says to his stu dents: "I promise you a hundred fold more ad vantage, from the perusal of this greatest work of John Owen, than from the perusal of all•that has lieed written on the subjeCt : of the heathen sacrifices." , At the completion of this great work, Owen laid down his pen and exclaimed: "Now my work is done; it m time for me to, die." ''Nor.-`did he long survive, After a life of vicissitude in which he bore himself most piously and • tnagnanimeusly; seeing kings, and creeds, and establishments fall and rise; while mighty movements swayed the minds of men to and fro—the birth throes of mo dern civil and religious, liberty—while flames and dire pestilence humbled the:capital city to the dust; having passed through such an age, in which he was one of God's distinguished instruments to' stamp its, great features of public opinion, he look his departure from a body by ,the excessive burdens he had compelled, it to bear in the service of its spiritual tenant, amtwhich, but for these, might have survived even the term of sixty-seven years to which it earned him. What a life—what a work was this I, What an age, what a movement, which not only Foamed such a man, but men, among whom he was-but one---primus, perhaps; but only inter pares! Who shall.lay anything to the charge of Puritan ism, which cam weigh a feather against the services this single son of bars has wrought, under God', for the Chureh and the world! What prayer Shall 'we put up, if not for the increase, and prevalence of the genuine spirit of Puritanism in our country among, our Theological Students,. our Statesmen, and throughout the world? Even the cold, and calculating Erasmus, is said to have'once been so far a arried. out of himself, as to exclaim- 0 sit anima mea cum Puritanis Anglicanis!

ITALY, atraplA,: Aggitio.A, Upon these three countries the eyes of the.civi lized world are' urned with unexampled interest. Providence has permitted them, simultaneously, to become IliCatTeS efTgreaVangl memorable movements. And.when we consider-the broad and startling contrasts thus brought I,9,,view, 3r,t1 111, History, Ancient 'ands Modern,- may be searched for a parallel tothe peculiar combination of events noritranapiring on these portions of the earth. The old nations are renewing their yfinth; the young nation whose,,proudly-chosen nyinbol-is,the eagle, in the midst of her bold career is threat ' ened with decay: "The acolyte of fate," has intrered'artest; while torpid despotisms of the East have, • at the same hour, caught n new im pulse of .national life, and have re e ntered upon a new stadizin, of national progress. The last, and 'as Was believed, greatest development of modern civilization, is, in the opinion of 'Many, already, demonstrated to be, a failure; while those very .politieal and , social .structures, which Ainericans have long: been wont, complacently, to contrast with their , own, and to cite as examples of the evils and diSadvantages of other systems, all at once are enabled to, take great strides in ' the direction - of olid ,greatness and prosperity., The boasted, federal- union tumbles to pieces, and two 'governments; with sonic show of -an at tempt at a thi;d, are set up Within its fortner.li- - mit& The long paialyzed and diVided people of Italy are, at •the same period, seising with, bounded enthusiasm, the favorable •moment for abolishing the territorial distinctions which have weakened them, and, ate uniting'to form one great government., Liberty is the watchword of the long oppressed Italians. _Slavery is the solution of the revolutionary Moiements of free Americans. The conqueror of Italy summons' an emancipated' people to the ballot-box, to confirm or to 'deny to him the fruits of his victories. The scheming, disappointed politicians of the South, change con stitutions, dismember -a .nation, agitatepeaCe and war, propose treaties, like dictators preparing ere • long to disiiossess the people foreiei of their tem.: porarily delegated power. , . , Turn we fora moment to Russia.' We think of Napoleon's prophecy, that in fifty years Europe would be Republican or Cossack:`': The limit fixed by the seer is, approaching,and'now, it would seem, indeed,- that Europe, Russia included, is to make'no small advance towards Republicanism., At any rate, to become Cossack, promises not to be half 'so barbarian, or - so' revolting as it might have been when the prophecy was Uttered. In politics it would not now be such a lamentable retrogression. Serfdom in Russia is not slavery, certainly not; • American slavery. Not all the dearest' rights of man are there trampled ;under foot The serf is no mere chattel in the eves of the law. His do- mestie tie; are - not'absolutely at the mercy of -the master. But who does not-know that-even, thus-, the System has been a public disadvantage to .
