THOMAS BRAINERD, I JOHN JENKINs, IitNRT DARLING, THOMAS J. SHEPHERD. WAS, BEGUN. Incredible as it may have appeared but a short time ago, it is only too true that a portion of our fellow citizens have assumed the direful responsi bility of inaugurating civil war in earnest. The patience and forbearance of the government as nifested iu its peace policy,—the ample evidence it has been giving of the utter absence of hostility to the peculiar sooial institutions of the Southern States, and of its readiness to fulfil altits constitu tional obligations—even the most odious—have failed to make any impression , upon the minds of the leaders of this rebellion, although showing to them and to the world that their conduct is cause less and criminal in the highest degree. We are glad. that it is so plain where the responsibility of begin ning this war rests. History cannot be at fault here. The men who accused the North of intending to invade their territory and set free their slaves by violence, and who wrought the people up , to such a panic on the subject that the peaceable bud con stitutional election of Mr. Litwin was made the successful instrument of precipitating secession, have beheld the North patiently and calmly wait ing, and pursuing its wonted occupations, while the South has been converted into a vast encamp ment) and its soldiers armed with weapons stolen from the national armories; it his seen armed mobs seize upon one after another of the military posts of •the general government, without ipterfering; it has seen hundreds of pieces of ordnance put in a position of attack against those of its fortifica tions which it was yet able peaceably to maintain; and at length, when the Government simply in sisted on supplying one of these beleaguered and starving garrisons with provisions, it has been insolently attacked and overpowered by one hun dred times the force within it, its garrison made prisoners, and the national flag replaced by an ensign of rebellion! And as if to take away all doubt as to where the aggressive and warlike temper really belongs, the capital of the Govern ment itself is threatened, and night and day tlid consecrated halls of liberty have to be defended against the minions of the slave-power of our country. Yea! the monster is unveiled in all its horrid deformity. It is the slave-power which is treasonable, anarchical, breathing forth threaten ing and slaughter; it is freedom that is for peace, union, forbearance; but when she speaks they are for war. It is the slave-power which hitherto has wielded the bowie-knife and tossed the challenge of , the duellist; it is the slave power now that is defiant and aggressive, and that meditates tbe subjugation of the continent Wits ends. It is the slave-power that is willing to see the sun of our republic go down in blood, if thereby the chains may be riveted on the slave, and a: wider opportunity for extending the curse of slavery may be gained. There is henceforth room for but one course of action; our Government must be sustained;' ques tions of party nr of private opinion *must be laid aside i all paltylisnaroustlieohl; questions are now reduced to this our 1 Government be sustained?. • Shall the power given under the Constitution and laws , of the land, 'Which, under God, assure . us a peaceable and quiet life at home, and respect and immunity abroad, be upheld in this emergency, or shall civil and social order be broken up, and mob-law or' military diotatorship, ye suffered to take its place? Shall the majesty of law, in a land where the restraints of law are fewest and lightest, and therefore most needful to be maintained, be vin dicated or be sae aced? We thank God for the unanimous and mighty response our fellow citizens of every shade of opinion are giving to these questions. There is scarcely one, amid the hun dreds of thousands around us, who does not feel a load taken off his mind, who does not breathe more freely, who is not more cheerful, to know that we have a government which realizes' its responsibility to itself, and to the highest interests cif society on this continent, and which calls man fully and confidently upon the myriade of its pros perous and peace , loving people to pour out their treasures and their blood in its defence. Now ; treason, hide your diminished head, and the God of our fathers be with the right! THE REVISED PLAN OF EDIMATION The following resolutions were adopted hy the third Presbytery of Philadelphia, at the late session, expressive of their views with re ference to the proposed plan of the Permanent Committee as revised. 1. Resolved, That this Presbytery heartily approves of the purpose of the General A.ssem bly, frequently expressed, to take the whole work of the education of young men for the gospel ministry under its own care and super vision, and the appointment of the Permanent Committee on Education for the ministry. It' nevertheless dissents from the plan now pro posed by the Permanent Committee for adop tion by the General Asserably,,for the follow ing reasons, viz.: (1.) The plan is incomplete in thatit requires a referehce to the- action of previous ,Assem blies In order to ascertain how the Committee is to be eleOted, organized, divided into classes, &C. (2.) The plan,.by repealing only such acts of former Assemblies as are inconsistent with it, necessarily opens the door for a dirersity of opi nion as to the real meaning of the plan of the Assembly. The organic structure of any great charity of the church, or, in other words, its constitution, should be presented in a single d ocument (3.) In Asiele V. the plan speaks of "Pres byterial Treasuries," while in Article IV. it provides for a Central Treasury only, which shall XeCelve all contributions for the cause and disburse the same. , (4.) The plan, in its proposition to work through the Presbyteries, (Article V 11.,) lacks distinctness. '2. Resolved, further: While recognising the above principle with regard to the prerogatives and wisdom of the Assembly, this Presbytery does at the same time express Its high appreci ation of the important service rendered; by the Philadelphia Education Society in raising - up a ministry for our denotnination, and dvs ear nestly tie Commend t'co_thie next Gettexabiesep4.- bly to adopt some plan by which that Society can work in harmony with the Assembly's Com mittee as an orismicilart of the same. COME BACK PROM ROME. • Rome—not the "Italian Rome," but the "Ame rican Rome,"—is a borough in the State of New York, containing now about six thousand inhabi tants. The. otonsltfp,pf the same name, within which the borough is situated, contains apopulation of about nine thousand; but, like many other townships in the State of New York, the populi tine is rather diminishing than• increasing. , , Rome, to which the name Fort Stanwix .was formerly given, derived its' early importance *ism Ina% the carrying-place between the waters of the Mohawk river on, the 'one hand, and the' waters which flow• into Lake Ontario on, the.pther. . the ally history of our country—in the.traffie in furs and other articles with the Indians=-this-be. came an important, point, and a fort, Called- Port Stanwix, was here erected—the seene'.4 many interesting and important events in the ,history sof the , State of New. York. The incident which-;one who was born there, find who was made in his boyhood with the' eirents 'which occurred there, will bemos t likelyX Collo'. o recall t e tion. when he returns, to, his early”houie, is the familiar and touching story of 4 "The Faithful Dog," or " Faithful Trai," the'snine of-which oc curredthere., Ancgicer of the fart, having ven tured beyond the "picket," was ,attaeked-litroo vages,, tomahawked, and scalped, -and left', for dead. His faithfdl dog=-Tracy stood'calmly-by him, licked his wounds, and patiently waited him, to recover and rise. Seeine at Lk th'at , there was no, hope of this, he ran, off to the rive; where some men were fishing, an& bylis move, meats, seemed to express a wish that they should accompany him'. They suspected it was some da vice of savages to lend them into anambush and continued to pursue their employment.. The dog went away, and again returned, und by his-man ner—his distresa—his piteous cries -= at last' diced them to go with . .. Mini The officer was found aliie,Wai carried' into the fort, and survived Around this fort, which was greeted. in; the time of the American revolution, the town.ofiltotne has grown up, and handsOMe dwellings now "occupy the place which, half a century ago, attracted 'the attention of the boys of the village, as a piece un rious in itself—the deep trenches, the OA block house, and the still standing remains of the pali sades. Rctme, as has-been sug g ested above; has +ether diminished than increased in population,since the last census. This has been owing partly to, causes which have produced the same result in so , many places in New England, and in the older parted the State of New. York—migration to the Great West; and partly to the embarrassments resulting from a subscription math to construct a railroad which was nefer completed. But a stranger visit lug' Rome would learn the fact of this diminu 7 tion of the number of the inhabitants, and of the temporary decline otthe prosperity 3f the town, ra ther by the census-takers, and by conversation with the people, than from any thing which would strike his eye. If infermed of this, he would rather in fer that the inhabitants of the place, in, the' leek Of what is ordinarily termed "business, " had given themselves to the employment of embellishing their town, and %preparing it to meet a. returning tide of prosperity. There - are no marks of decay'. There are no signs Of dilapidatiMi - or neglect. There are no gates elf tkehingm _fin the contrary, ne - innarntants of place would seem, to have busied theniselvelin laying out wide and spacious streets; in planting traes-- r the sugar...maple ,par ticulaily—that most ; beautiful of forest trees—in lavish abundance; in filling. their gardens and grounds with beautiful shrubbery, and in re-paint, ing their dwellings. Even in New York State; there are few places that possess as much pietn.: resque beauty, and - that evince as much good taste as Rome will do when the, trees and shrubbery shall be fully grown r and when: the, designs of, the present inhabitants shall be carried fully out: Not a. few'of the private dwellings are in`a style thatwouid do honor to Walnut street or to the Fifth Menne, and indicate that if the town itself is less Pros _ perms than it once was, there are private indivi duals there who possess ample wealthy and whose taste corresponds With their wealth'. . , . There is one P - resbyterian 'Church in Rorie; there are two :Methodist Churchesi two ~Baptist Churches; there is an, Episcopal Church, ,and- . a Welsh Church,—and. there are tWo . small Roman Catholic Churches. • ' ' The first pastor of the: Presbyterian 'Church— the man wbo would be most distinctly .ealled • to remembrance by one mho was born there; and who, at the age of sixtY-two, revisits thelevin, was the Rev. Moses `Gillett—a man who did more than any other man to mould the manners and the ha bits of the people of the town, and, whose influence was always such as the 'influence of a Christian pastor should be. He was installed pastor of the church in'lBo7—an event not likely ever to fade away from the memory of those ,who werebOya as time, who then ? for the first time, saw an. "io dination," and he held :the office for,thirty years a man remarkably blessed in . his labors; -man whose memory is ‘iherished airevery Christian pas-_ tor would desire his own memory should be when he himself is dead. In the cemetery recently opened, and which in itself, is One proof of the: taste of;the people of the.town, the inhabitants of the town have ereeted, on a granite °base, a neat marble'column to'hismeniory., On tb,e side of the:eolumn fronting the entrance to the cemetery, they have inscribed, "Hemember those who have spoken to you the Word of God, whose faith fol low." On another side they have made a record which could be made on but few 'of the, anon& meats erected to perpetuate the memory of minis ters of the gospel: "Seven hundred and four per=, sons were admitted, while he was pastor, to the cone- ' ' munion of the church, on profession Of faith;": and they have placed beneath this the words—so descriptive of his life, and so full of instruction as : to the secret of his success,--,-" For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost; and of faith; and much people was added unto the,,Lord." During the ministry of Mr. Gillett, 'more than one hundred and eighty persons were added,to the church on one occasion, the fruit of a great revival of religion. Among these were nearly all the merchanta of the phce, and' all the,lawers. Since the fall of man, was such a thing ever known be fore, that all the lawyers in, any, place were, con, verted to the faith of the Saviour? Among those lawyers• there =was one, still living, who deserves a more than passing notice. HeYas entering on' his career with every prospect of the roost, brilliant success, and with a moral certainty of reaching the highest eminence in his profession. Had he continued to devote himself to the law, long ere thia time he would have been in the first rank, in that proieisidn, and would, have lieenAtaw at ,the; bar, what Judge Denio, eltoman hylirth,•a_ mark 4( anterican littobgt,,Oair tittott COranpiiot4 •,. of hOmble but icspectable origin, who now site in the Court of *eels; the highest trihunal in the 'State, is, on the bench. But the heart of the yoUng -lawyer was,changed by the grace of God, :and he resolved at once to abandon his chosen profession.
