LETTER FROM HUNTSVILLE, ALA. Huntsville Ala., Feb ISth, 1804. Have you any objections to lay be fore your readers a few lines from a delegate of the Christian Commission ? Trusting that you have not I send you the following for publication. Three weeks since we entered upon our 'work' as a delegate. Our introduc tion to it was in Louisville, Ky. De tained there one evening ou our way to' the front, we spent it, under the direc tion of the agent at- that point, among the soldiers of Barracks No. 1. At Nashville we were more fully made acquainted witlv the work. Here, however, it lay not so much among the soldiers as among the refugees; Bro. Smith, the Sold agent, assigning us those as our- particular charge. Upwards of five hundred of them we found collected together in one building. They were of both sexes, and of all ages—from the ne.tfly ..born to the grand-father and grand-mother of four score. It was a Sabbath morning when, we first went among,- them. Going from room to room, and from family to family in, each room, we conversed with them freely. Wo fouhd that they were mostly from eastern Tennessee and northern Geor gia, and-in : the greatest destitution—in no oase scarcely, having more than the tattered clothes that covered them and Boihe little bedding.'.' I !When" Ivasked 5 them “did you hear a sermon last?”: “,Law! mister,” they would say with their southern drawl, “ we; don't know when.” ; It’s so long ago we have for gotten ;. long.,jffore' the war, anyhow.” 1 “ Well/.-Nyhat would you say to hear one this' morning; this is Sabbath morning,, yob know.", “ Oh! mighty glad, mister —'mighty glad; it would do us a power of good.” “ Very well then, come over into the large room at the end of the building, and we will try to give you one.” So, over they dame, near to two hundred of them, and wo tried to preach them a sermon suitable to the occasion. In the evening also, they came together,, and' we preached to thorn again, only this time, the audience was nearly twice as,largo as it was in the morning; the shades of the night being favorable tOi hiding their torn and faded garments. Ninhbers of them ! found to'be real Christians, and “oh!” they would say, “ it is grace alone that has enabled us to kohp up until now; without that we would have.sunk under our afflictions long ago.”. As fast aa they are. able to go, the GQY?FP me * l t' is sending them north, ini' right gladiy tb? they go j the che&p land and free schools of the north presenting the strongest attractions to them, And as to the schools, badly do they, stand in need of them; for fully one half of their number, I should think, were enable to read; Distributing tracts and papers, constantly wasl met with the reply, “ I can’t read, Sir.” Hear ing the reply from old men and women, was bad enough, but when it would come from the mouths of boys and girls between twelve and eighteen years of •age, oh; how sore it. would make my heart!

What place is there left for God among the “ laws, of nature,” or for revelation amid human sciences ? I do not say that, in our fallen state, human science has not its legitimate uses and. its lawful province, but I do say that. it has great dangers and risks as well. I say that its uses are not either to bolster up or to pull down re velation, and that its place, its province, is not in preaching; that however Christ’s ministers may, if they have lei sure and opportunity, pursue the scien ces as means of culture, yet it is their business to “preach the word " whether men, scientific or otherwise, will hear or forbear; whether it be a stumbling block to the Jew, or folly to the, Greek. Let us not, too easily, .flatter ourselves that, in. the midst of a wicked world, with the Gospel to preach to men, we have time to pursue human science in any great degree. This desire for hu man learning may be a temptation of the iii'ot toinplor i§6ldiers’ Writing Table. Paper and Envelopes Free. d St down and send a few words home. Your friends want to hear from you.

These of coume are all free to the soldiers, and right heartily do they en joy the reading Of them. Still further, on this side of the room, we, have a cir culating Library—a-.-fewrOf the books of which circulate weli, whilst the vast majority rest quietly on the shelves. And why? Because of their niter worthlessness—being worn out Sabbath School libraries. What do men care for auoh bookß as these, books that are in- tended and fit only for children ? Men want mental food that is suitable to them, strong meat and not infant’s milk. Please remember that, will you, my reader, the nest time you contrib ute to a soldier’s library ! THE PROVINCE OF SCIENCE IN PUB LIC PEE ACHING.—N 0.1. Science in the pulpit; what place should science have.in public preaching? is a question which thoughtful minis ters and Christians have often asked themselves and each other. At the risked of being classed among “ unlearned and ignorant men,” I shall answer the question, with capital em phasis, Ho Place ! I do not here inquire what is the pro : per. place of science, or whether modest investigations into physical and meta physical phendfnena are profitable in thicr place and within proper limits, or, how far it is best to push our “guesses at truth,” which in our pride wo call science. I speak only of “the province of science in public preaching,” and of that pride of intellect which scientific pursuits engender—a pride so unbecom ing in a minister,of;Ghrist, and so ruin-; ous to simple, faith .in the divine testi,. mony. , I know, indeed, with what .contempt those who have eaten of the tree of knowledge,, and.sup,pose themselves to, 1 have become, as ..gods knowing; good : .and, evil," look down upon, men whqare content to get all their knowledge .of ; divine, things; frpm Holy Scripture. .

McMillan, r , , ....... U*s “Knowledge puffeth up,” while*Satan whispers, “ Knowledge is power.” I confess I am impatient even of that pulpit teaching which is always bent on justifying God’s ways to men, as though God’s claim for a hearing were to be tried by his concord with our human reason. lam impatient of those analo gies by which preachers would mrtkd it easier to believe God’s word, and bring the high mysteries of revelation down to -a fancied scientific basis. For instance, I do not more thoroughly believe in the great doctrine and mystery of the Ees ' urrection after all tho “ vain babblings” abont grubs and butterflies, and, other natural transformations which adorn so many sermons.

The subject as i in -'lrmeniah twenty-bight years of age.- He was laid up for years with a severe sickness swhich was followed mittehi'fbWr of a : -year’s duration, and this in turn by an f at-tack : of jaundice. l During the last’ illri'ess, the color of the ‘ patient’s skin' changed from yellow to brorize, and as fast ‘as thih ehattge pro l greased"* tils health fitiprdved.

' Th'e medical term for this disease is melanopdthia.” Now, since we have this “ authentic instance” of the change from “’white to black occurring within four years wo shall no longer need the tenibbusarid years, and it -will be scientific (!) to think the raee-differenoe might have existed in the family of Noah. There can be nodoubt of it now that we have the scientific terhi“ melanopathia,” although it'might still be doubtful if the cause of ttie change had been called the “ Black " sickness.” ’ ■ ' Well does St. Paul command his apostolic legate, Timothy, to “ avoid profane and vain babblings and opposit ions of science falsely so‘ called” for sci ence, in his days, as in ours, and in ; every age, has been largely falsely so called. It is said indeed that science is knowledge, for such is the meaning of the word; but it is just because that is the meaning of the word that the bO called sciences are falsely so called. “ Science is knowledge reduced'to a sys tem.” Supposing the facts to be true facts upon which the system is built, still the science may be false; the sys tem, the theory, may be only a cloak for ignorance; ignorance veiling itself in scientific termß. How well I remember when Profes sor Boy e had given us the theory, the science of electricity, or light or heat, or something of that , sort, and iwe were ready to receive it as absolute truth, and “re-adjust our theology ] to it if need he, he stopped short, and in his broken English (for he Dane) said: “ Young gentlemen, we|have dis covered that the theories of firmer phi losophers were false, and perhaps what I am telling you how is d lie /?

LIBERAL ELEMENTS 'IN THE EARLY OR- GANIZATIONS. In the recently-published volume of the Autobiography and Correspondence of Dr. Dyman Beecher, we find a state ment of the manner in which the church over which he was first settled, that of Easthampton, L. 1., was led to as sume a Presbyterian organization. “My : first business,” lie says, “ after' ordina tion, wasto organize a Session.”- This was in 1799, ten years after’ the organi zation of the General Assembly. « Dr.' ’Buell,” says Dr. 8., “ bad always- be* longed to, the Presbytery, and the church called itself Presbyterian; but They never had an elder, never sent up 'any' records,, never- had any to send. Dr: Buell was church and everything -else.” • - Such a state of things as this, no sen sible Presbyterian Svill quote for com mendation, but it: is indicative of certain PiemenW which were combined in. the. ; organization-bf ; the General Assembly,- which need to be considered in, our. esti mate of tbe spirit, of the. church at that critical period of-its history. When it ■ was proposed-tp. organize the church in connection with,' the Assembly, the; Long Island Churchesrv-Suffolk Presby-tfei’y-r: were reluctant to place theihSelves un der its jurisdiction., .They,made no secret, of , their . sympathies, and even committed themselves by their resolve9,- to stand.,aloof ifrom all-connection with-, it. It- was only by the; correspondence ofiDrs. McWharter and 'Eqdgers—a committee of. the Assembly they, were led to' reconsider their; action, and become a constituent part of ’'the, PresJjyterian - church ■ A rigid cc- Plesiasticisn} they abhorred, and it was upon the .assurance that:,this was - not intended, that they ; consented to the Synod’s request to adhere to the new organization.. • , Numerous other facts, equally iridica 4ive of. the liberal spirit of the Presby terian church at- that period, might b'e : (given. Many of- the churches, besides rthat were not provided -wfbh ah elcfefsliip':'' ’T&' was" sometime after hie settlement at Catskill, that the : late Dr. Porter was led; by the pressing i necessity of'the urgency of disciplin'd 1 to'organize &■ Session. Even the First !■ Church' of‘Baltimore, although it had been for nearly forty years under the of Dr. Allison, one of the Fathers oPthe church, had no session until about tho commencement of the present cen tury. Henry Patillo, the' Patriarch of | the Presbyterian Church in‘ North Caroi lina; iri a volume of discourses published the year preceding the meeting of the first* General Assembly, expressed his decided preference for a system which should conjoin the Congregational pat- Hjerh of the/ local church with Presby t'eijies .and Synods. It is well known that Dri Wilson, the father of Dr*. J. P. Wilson, of Philadelphia, was even dis satisfied with such concessions as he were made in the adoption of the Standards of the church, while' the venerable Dr. Witherspoon himselfi with all the affection he might be supposed to entertain for a Scottish model, would have preferred that the highest judi cature*of the. church should be known as “ Council” rather than “ Assembly." So little zealous,, moreover, were the Synod of Philadelphia in behalf of An nual Assemblies, that soon after the commencement of the present century, they proposed that the church, by its should meet only once in three years. Even in Western Penn sylvania, that zealous and decided Con gregationalist, Joseph Rodgers, was ac counted a sufficiently sound Presbyte rian, and was one of the Committee that assisted in the organization of the Pittsburg Synod as the Western Mis sionary Society, ‘ Such facts as these serve to manifest the spirit of the church at that period. As Dr. Beecher says, “ there was none of that foolishness about isms which has (been got up lately.” The real parties by whom the plan of union of 1801 was sanctioned in the Presbyterian church, were very largely themselves participes criminis—in complicity with Congregational usages. If evils finally resulted—as was con tended—from the plan, what was the true method, of meeting them ? Surely the Long Island churches, at the time of the organization of the Assembly,, were as indifferent to strict Presbyteri anism, and as lax in their usages, as the obnoxious Synods were in 1837. Yet they formed an integral part of the whole body. They were even urged to adhere to it. They were assured that they were not called to accept or en dci'SQ a in.o-.-ri. All that was ne cessary to lead them to conform more strictly to the Presbyterian system, was time and experience. !! They changed to Presbyterian,’’ say's Dr. Beecher, “ without any particular influence.” In the case of his own church he remarks, “ I persuaded them, and we organized a good, strong, sober session.” His common sense led him- to see the need of it for the exercise of discipline. “When I got the eldership,” he says, “we found a member who was a drunk ard.” “ Another had sold a horse for sound that was not sound. He said it was not his business to tell the horse’s faults. We gave him some edification on that point. So we : straightened things, and kept them strict and careful, and had no trouble.” , Here was practical wisdom conformed to thetrue .spirit of American Presby terianism. Time has shown that the exscinded Synods only needed to be left quietly to pursue, their work, in order eventually to approximate near enough to the Presbyterian system— even where there was an original diver gence—for harmonious co-operation. It may be easy after the lapse of years to forget the principles that lie at the foundation of an organization, but it is never safe to. disregard them. Any ,such, neglectAs sure to risk the disrup tion of the body, or the overthrow of the structure, :We think it safe to. say that the constitutional. Presbyterian As sembly is the proper representative of the ; fathers of 1789.. THE MAR-YLAHD' fAT-K , FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHRISTIAN AND SANITARY COMMISSION. The loyal women of'Maryland, have projected a fair in aid of the two noble Commissions, which everywhere follow the army in their woyk of benevolence and love. It is to begin in Baltimore, on t.iie 18th of April next, and will dif fer from the great' fairs .which have Been held in the metropolitan cities in' the East and West, in placing, as as its first object.the Christian Commission. Its proceeds will be equally divided be tween both enterprises. This is but justice, for the Christian, equally with the Sanitary Commission, goes to the army with food and -raiment, and hos pital supplies, and while giving the Tes tament, aud. the tract, and pointing the .soul of the soldier .to Jesus, ministers '.ld his bodily needs. .’ , In the arduous work they have un dertaken, the women, of Maryland would thankfully receive auy aid, how ever small, in money or material from those who sympathize'-'with them in other States. The loyal women are in the minority. Those who sympathize with the rebellion will give them no as sistance, and are only prevented frond openly hindering the work by the strict military rule which so wisely prevails in the State. During the residence Of many months in Maryland, the writer has conceived a profound respect for the loyal Women of the border States. They have been constant and heroic in .their adherence to the Union, braving the severance often of pleasant and fa mily ties, and their attendance on our gallant soldiers, both on the battle-field and in the hospitals, has-baen. f'aithful and unremitting.' And therefore, I would ask the readers of this Paper who have anything to spare, how ever small, to Contribute their mite to the ladies of Baltimore. Do-mot repeat the old question,“ Can there any good thing ’come out of Hazareth,” but be lieve that to-day there is in Maryland, very much of proud devotion to the old flag, of staunch loyalty to the govern ment, of tender love to the soldiers.

The Christian Register , of Boston, thus derives two solemn lessons from the tragedy of crime recently enacted in broad day in that city. In like manner, it was the pressure of debt which led Dr. Webster to murder Dr. Parkman in Harvard College. A young man, in the middle of the day, about two months since, was found dead oh the floor of the Malden Bank. He had fallen by the hand of violence. Unseen, . unheard, the villain had es caped, carrying with him his criminal spoils; Men were appalled at this bold and successful crime, perpetrated at noonday in the busy scenes of traffic. After fruitles labor to unravel the tragic mystery, the community was fast forget ting the deed in the swift whirl of events; when the public mind was startled by the' - announcement that the murderer had been arrested, and the guilt con fessed. Moreover, we are told that the man who did the atrocious deed was a fellow townsman, who, heretofore, had borne a good character, held responsible trusts, and was surrounded ■; '■• the endearments of domestic life. In his coiifwsion he also disavowed the feeling of vindictive ness towards young Converse. What then was the great underlying motive which led to this atrocious crime ? : DEBT! The man was maddened into-the wicked deed by this harrowing spectre. It followed him by .day—it: hauntedhim at night. It was more powerful' as a motive than his love for his family. It blinded his reason, silenced KiSconscience, roused his passions, until, under the tre mendous motive pressure, he, formed a cool, skillfully, prepared a-nd, diabolical plan, to strike the fatal blow, and brand his soul with the ineffaceable crime of murder. ’' ■; The career of Edward W. Green is the biography of a numerous class in the community. lie is but an exag gerated type of men who live without fixed and firm principles ~of character, ahd allow themselves to incur obliga tions which involve pecuniary embar rassment. The whole life; in this case, rests on a false basis. The man who through extravagance allows - himself to get in debt, at once opens the door for the tempter. /In. his desperation he rushes to the gaming table, .tries a ha zardous speculation, begins the incipi ent fraud which- ends ini-forgery, and when the trouble .accumulates he is at last driven to steal. To Edward W. Green, the tempter said, .•till young Converse and rdb the Malden Bank. i This dark page of human guilt Ims a warning. That man in bib’ wretched ness and woe lifts:up his- voice. To those who are drifting by the currents of extravagance, into debt, .with .no deep and abiding principles of action, the tragedy has a profound moral. To such it says—yourliv-es ard* rotten at the core.-. They rest on -a:'false basis. Yo.u are sapping the foundations of in tegrity. • Have-the moral courage to - commence a better life.. ,A@ you value, character, the esteem of’the world, the welfare of four family, and the approval of God, begin anew to-live : according to right principles! . This -ik tile" pathway of honor, truth and peace! The holiest dictates of-religion entreat-, yoh to pluck the nettle of danger. ...... 'We have also, in this startling crime,., an illustration of the power of a wicked idea to gain possession of the soul and lead the man to do the. wicked deed. Have you a criminal intent in your heart ? Do you cherish a wicked thought ? Then the root of the fraud, theft or murder, has started its fibres in your breast. Lift the veil that con ceals the real moral history of that inan who now in prison bearg the. burden of this horrible crime. How could he, while gazing on the face of his first horn, carry with him the cruel thought of murder ? How could he, in the pre sence of the wife he loved, put the pis tol, with which he designed to kill, into the drawer? ; There, are many steps in his history of crime before this is reached. He be ,gan the career just closed by living beyond his means; and as the condition •of his affairs became more desperate, still •more desperate thoughts flashed up in his mind. On a certain day he’went into the bank and saw the money. The idea ;of robbing ib rose vividly before him. It was then only a suggestion. But he played; dalliance, with the thought; soou it become a fixed pur pose. Familiarity with it imparted strength. The great end in view held him spell bound. As he laid his head on the pillow, the idea was his compan ion. In the morning hour, as he went to the Post Office, it grew in intensity. Then he began to act. The pistol was put iTT-biß poukote Ifc-wjLfcAbwl fitting hour. At length, after being thwarted, the opportunity came. The flash, the report, twice in rapid succession; the rifling of the drawer, the stealthy retreat, the burden of the awful crime, the woe of remorse, the fear of death, all these are but parts of the tragedy. The deed, with all its antece dents and consequences, is hut the rip ening of the first wicked thought. The crime was all enfolded in that early germ. The guilt began the moment the wicked purpose • was detained in the mind. Therefore “keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” . . .
