A lady near Lynchburg bm revelled to the

who had become distasteful to tbem. Two ot

I learn Irom a pentlemnu just from Winches
ter, Va., that Judpe Kichard A. Parker, Judge
ol tho Thirteenth Circuit, in the btate ot Vir
Kiniu, was arrested on M-mday by an order
emanating from the Superintendent of the
Fr'.edineu' .Bureau in Wincucbier. The charge
against him is that Union men cannot get justice
Irom him. Tho immediate cause of bis arrest
appears to be that a suit has been brought in
his court by the Methodist Church Boutn, of
Winchester, for the recovery of the church
building, which ha been taken po?Fe.-siou of by
the Northern wing of the Church. JuJije
Harris, of an adjoining circ lit, has lately de
cided a similar suit in favor of, the Southern
wing of tbe Church, aud it Is said the arrest
was made to prevent a similar decision by Judge
I'arker.
No report of this arresr, tho facts of which I
obtain from Colonel Wall, tho delegate from
Frederick county, htu beea made at headquar

I have just learned that the negroes in Meck
lenburg and the adjoiniu? eouuues of Vireinn
are now debating in their secret leaaties whether
they shall take postes-don of the land of tbe
whites by violence on the 1st of January, if Con
gress do not give it lo them as ihey say has been
promised. The rariicaNielegates irom Mecklen
burg to the Convention are urtr ng them to take
the lands of the whiles at nil Hazards. None
of the negroes will hire themselves unless they
get possession of the entire plantation, horses,
mules, and tools. Tbe negroes are all armed
and the whites are not. Much fear of a war
between the races is felt in this portion of the
btate. JC. Y. Herald.

FRANCE AND ITALY.
Highly Important Circular of General
Memlnea to the Italian Dlploratuie
Agents Abroad.
Florence (A'uv.),by Tclcpraph to ReulrrU Bureau.
The September Convention, in stipulating on
the one hand the evacuation of the Pontiti'al
territory by the French troops, imposed at the
same time upon Italy obligations which are
very heavy and very difficult of fulfilment. We.
however, accepted them with the sincere and
absolute dei-ire to use every effort to secure
their being observed. Contrary to the Ujvs,
end notwithstanding the reiterated declara
tions of the (lovernment. several bands have
succeeded in penetrating into the provinces of
the Pontifical States by eluding the surveillance
of the troops: but, in consequence of the topo
graphical configuration of the territory, tho
considerable extent of the line which It wai
necessary to guard, and taking into aecouut the
rluht of every citizen to travel wi'.bout hln
diance, ODe niav conceive it was an impo si
bility ior the corps ot observation to success
lully prevent such occurrences, iheditiicui
tles of the mailer did not certainly escape the
penetration and perpicacity of the hii;h cou
tructing powers when they si-jned the Con
vention. It will lie remembered that tne
term fixed for the execution of this ar
raieement wis precisely established at a time
when a reeoncilia'ion might have taken place be
tween the Holy See and Italy, or at least a
modus vtvfnrii might have been . arrived at he
tween adioiuinir fJovernment which would
have rendered reciprocal relations pDssible.
This hope has been deceived, not indeed becaue
the Government of tbe King omitted aiht
which could have tended towards the attain
ment of this aim, but !iecuue it always met
with resistance lioui the Holy .See, and even
sometimes severe censure for having promul
gated necessary laws. It Is therefore not sur
prising if tbe crisis whic'i wo regret has nov
taken place. Tbe (Jovcrnment ot the Kmperor,
in a document published in the Monilcur, de
clared that the French troops had no ooject of
any hostile character towards Italy, and that the
Imperial Government did not intend by any
means to rene w an occupation the entire gravity
of which it fully estimated.
The King's Government, while highly appre
ciating these declarations, cannot yetteel.on
viuced that actual circumstances rendered an
act of this character necessary. TUe Imperial
Government cannot but be aware that the
September Convention was concluded especi
ally wiih a view to replace the Holy Hee in tbe
usual position of all other principalities, which
fbould themselves provide tor their own safely.
One may in truth assert that the spirit of the
Convention has not always been osserved in
this respect; but, be this as it mav, It is a fact
that the troops enrolled by the Pontifical Gov
ernment have sufficed for the deten-e of their
Bag. But although they thus fulfilled the object
aligned to them, the Imperial Government, de
spite our reiterated observations and protesta
tions, iudeed otherwise, aud decided to inter
vene. The formal declarations we have recently
made that we would do our utmost to prevent
the invasion of tbe armed bauds declarations
which we have fuldlled have unhappily not
sutured to change bo grave a resoiutiou.
Public opinion in Italy is deeply moved, and
if the population bus not been cairtcd awav to
acts of gravity it is because the majority are
wise, and because the country is accustomed to
have full conddence in the Government of a
faithful Kiue. who etiards und will ever cuaid
their honor at the cost of any sacritce what
soever.
We have cousultei the exigencies of our dig
nity and of our interest; the Government con
sequent y has had to take upon itself tbe seri
ous responsibility ot ordering tbe troopa to cross
the frontier.
Tbe step can by no means be considered by
France as a hostile act. Occupying a few
points in tbe Papal territory, the Kovul troops
are int-tructed to irain the good-will and re
assure the minds ot the inhabitants, and to re
establish auiet among the aelta'ed population.

THE HURRICAItE AT ST. THOMAS.
Further Partlcnlnra of tho Terrlbla Da
Iructloa whlcU Haaued.
A private letter from a gentleman who has
long resided at St. Thomas gives the following
account of tho recent hurricane in that lo
cality; "St. TnoMafl, Nov. 1. I am ablo to tell you
that we have all eecaped with our lives. An
awful hurricane bumovcr this island, aud many
neiphborlT.g to iis, on iue-day, the 23th of
October, about 12 o'clock. At a quarter to 1 it
was at its greatest height, and, wearied with
destruction, it beirnn to sub i le a little about 3,
and exhausted its fury at 6 P. M. Words cannot
de ciibetbis fiitrbtful teuipc-t. No poetic ima
gery 1 ever reud has come up to it. 1 bave uow
witLesseJ tbe reality of a cyclone, aud hope I
may uever anain be exposed to tbe horrors ol
another. Almost every house in th-i place is
umooted; a large number are in rains; ihoe
covered with shingles or tin have alone escaped.
From my windows jou cart see the trucks o' the
mas ts and hulls of thirty vessels, toially wrecked;
and in other parts of tbe haibor about thirty
more may be seen.
"Among tbem, the Liverpool steamship Ca
ribbean, which came iu au hour or two before
tbe hurricane beirao, the Spanish steamer
Pajaro, and the ro.vai mail steamship Derwent.
As jet one hundred and ten (lend bodies have
been fnuud and buried, omo who were killed in
their hoi.ses, and tho rest, tho majority, in the
hirOiir and about ihe wharves. Hut there must
be a. very lartjc number ttill to be found, as a
frightful stench is n-cending from the King's
wharf, wer-twtrd. Tho corpses are no djubt
covered with dc'jris, such as musts and spars,
which prevent their comma up to the sarl'ace.
Way Divine Providence avert pestilence from
us? Tbe Peluyo aud Todd steamets were driven
cn shore. Immense trees, totally uprootel, lie
about in every direction. The rain tell heavily
at the time, so That every one who hal the good
foitune to have a floor or cellar underneath
took refuge below. In the height of tbo
storm, the strong shutters, firmly barred,
booked, and billed, were wreLChed
open, and torrents ot olindlng rain swept into
the house, making it like an open street. I was
in this preoicaibcnt, and my wife handed mo
tbe nails and kept tbe jalousies last whilst I
nailed them to. The merchants have susttiued
immense losses, for besides many ot the sunken
vessels containing eools just shipped by pur
chasers fiom Porto Rico aud elsewhere, and not
insured, the warehouse were filled with mer
chandise which has been spoiled by the rain.
"liut the worst remain to be told. The
royal mail steamship Rhone was at Peter Island,
about twenty miles from here, almost ready to
start for Europe, and engaged in taking on b iard
passengers, mails, and cargo from the inter
colonial steamers, when the blast began. She
stood out to sea, but tbe wind sent her on the
lrcn-bound coast, the waves burst her boilers,
she was cut in two, and about one hundred and
twenty people, including her noble Captain
Woollev, went down in her. About twenty
three men were saved. The royal mall
Fdeambhip We was dashed to pieces on
Puck Island, and out of seventy only
thirteen escaped. Tberoyalmail steamship Con
way was driven on shore at Tortola; I do not
know whether she lost any ot her crew or pas
sengers. Tbo Caravclle, French steamer, is also
reported to be a total wreck. On a rough cal
culation, the estimated damage to shipping and
property on bourd and in town cannot be less
than fifteen to twenty millions of dollars. You
ciiunot imatriao our situation. It is terrible.
The gas works were levelled to the around, kill
ing a number of people: aud every church and
p'uee ot worship is more or less injured. If the
place had been subjected tt bombardment it
could cot pro.-ent a more deplorable appear
ance, lu the midst of the hurricane, many
persons felt shocks of earthquake; I did not,
but it must have been so, for there are abun
dant indications of it everywhere. Ot the iu
numeiabl: email craTt, as lighter and boa's,
there are very few remaining. The soldiers'
barracks weie all blown down. The liaht
house is gone, so are the drerlirlaa-machine and
telegraph. Manv of Ibe iras lumo-post-, of solid
iron, were also blown down. 1 must write you

horriticd to go ou now."
CH U1SE OF TUE FENIAN PRl VA TEE 11
Interesting Pcacrlptlon at Cooper Intl-
tui,
About one thousand persons assembled at
Cooper Institute lat evening to listen to the
narrative of Colonel Treviltan on the expedition
to Ireland of the Knn's Hope, a small eaiiina
vessel commauded by Captain Kavanagli, which"
left this oit in May last. John Savage, Ksq.,
President ot the t euian uro'neruooa, piesiueu.
In the course of a tew introductory remarks
Mr. Savage dwelt upon the escape of Colonel
Kelly and Captain Deasy at Manchester, aud
exhibited the identical handcuffs used upon toe
wrists of tbe lormer. At this point the audience
arose and cheered most enthusiastically.
Colonel Trevilian's narrative of the departure
and cruise of the Erin's Hope was inteiebtlncr.
This little craft was a sailing vessel of small
tonnage formerly named the Alice Davis. Land
ings were made at various points on the Irish
const, and men sent into the country. In the
words of the speaker, "The Erin's Hope touched
oft Gal way, and looked into tbe mouth of the
Shannon to see it any ot her Majesty s gunboata
were around, but uone were to be seen." At no
time was the little eralt more than twelve miles
distant from a British vessel. They were hailed
and boarded by pilots and schoouers.
At one time one of her Majesty's frigates was
within half a mile of the Krin's llope, and com
menced i-igualling. The signals were answered,
and tbe Hope was not molested. On another
occasion her fast sailing saved ber from opturo
by tbe coast iruard. When the Erin's Hope
sailed and where from, Colonel Treviliau was
carelul not to divulge. In all she sailed nearly
ten thousand miles. The speaker coucluded his
remarks by statine that Kenlanism is not yet
dead: that two hundred thousand Fenians are
watcbimr their opportunity to pounce upon tuo
liritifh lion, and that arms aud ammunition can
bo sent lo Ireland from this country. Tbe meet
ins was gotten up under the auspices of tho
Biian rkroibme Circle. iV. Y. Herald.

their attention was attracted by the efforts of a

end of eiKUlenu centuries, we recall the promise of
tne Auinur anu tiniHiier or our lanu to De witu us,

Clod siandetb here. Not lu tue lace of persecution
and trials, but In the glorious liberty of a fiee Church
ai d a tree ttiale, we have met to hear bow goes tbe
fcood fight all along the lines. We have a briKUt
record lo unfold, from whose cheering page Is reflected
a llvht U hrlldant lhal tbe spots of doubt and disap
pointment, and the lurldeuia of discouragement and
detec tion will almost be loritotten. In these days, when
ail Ihe energies of loan's nature are quickened Into
almost superhuman activity and effort In ail the pur

There are among us none so weak, none so poor, that

Fountain of I.ifo to Ihe sorrowing, thirsty soul, aud so

what strength, or Rifle, cr opportunities Martin
Luluer had, which are not multiplied a thousand fold
to every earnest disciple ol Chris' In our day. Lining
that two-edged sword of the spirit all alone, he smote
such blows upon the shackles of superstition and
priefctoralt that almost al a single bound the nations
ol the earth lifted up their free bauds and dlsen
tin ailed hearts In a sung of gralelul praise, whose
eel lies tor three hundred and fifty year have Inspired
the souls of men, and wblcli will roll on lu their

ltev. lr. Mattlsnn tnen read the following eiiay on
' hunday Kcbool I. tiers ure";
'1 he Kiil.jeci upon which Ihe Convention a year ago
requested me to prepare an essay, to be read at ton
m eting, maybe embodied In the quesMon, What
kind ol Sundsy HcIkkiI literature I best calculated to
promote the Intellectual and spiritual Interests of the
children aud growth of our Sunday (school T
The term ' literature" empl,,y el in the resolution
Inviting the ssay, lfti.ken iu it broadest sense,
luigbt iLclude the periodical hymn book aud other
rqulsiieot the school: but from Us connection I
understand It to reler u aluly to what bxiks are most
buitatile for hunday tsclio il libraries.
'1 his, It appears lo me. is one of the gravest ques
tions eounected with our Sunday School work. I lia
In press li. ii ma"e bf the books we read In chtldhoo 1
yet linger, while most that we merely beard has
passed Irom memory. Our youth are In the eabhaMi
School but an hour or two eaih week, but tbev arij
oil. u In communion witb the printed pages drawn
from the Sunday school library six days In the week,
'1 he Ideaa brought Into contact with the mind during
a school session, would not ordluurily cover more
tbuD eighteen mo pages, If all printed; while our youth
read, ou an average, probably twenty times tint
amciniit every wt ek, from the pages ol hooks drawn
Irom our Sunday school libraries. These books are
read al home, where there la so little, comparatively,
todivertthe niiud; and when the attention can bo
lixeo and uninterrupted, cau but have a well-deUued
aiid lasting Impression.
In view of all these fact, and without In the least
disparaging the Influence or oral Instruction, or tue
exercises ol the Sunday Hcliool sessions. It Is not un
likely that the readlug of the books of our Sunday
School libraries from week to week Is exerting more
Influence iu shaping the Intellectual and moral char
acter ot our youth, and In determining their future
t hrracier and destiny, than all the other exercises
aud agencies put together. This opinion may appuar
extravagant, but It la believed that reflection upon all
ti e facia w 111 Juslliy the conclusion.
How momentous, then, tint quest'on. What books
f ball compose our Sunday School libraries T
In considering this question we should remember
that wc have all ages among tue readers, from tun to
thirty, and must adapt the library to their different
stages of Intellectual ruaiuMty. There are also dif
ferent tastes to be taken lulo account. Soineare rond
ol biography, others ot books of travels, otuers ot re
ligious experience, and others still of natural history
or doctrinal discussion.
All these circumstance are to be taken In to aiconnt
In the selection of Sunday School libraries, and, taken
together, constitute our only safe guide lu this most
Important and ditllcult work.
These thligs being premised, I will now Indicate:
and us briefly as possible, a few general principles
that It seems to me ought to be recognized, and lo
bear sway in the selection ot Sunday school literature:
First. 'J he books need not all be religious. By reli
gious 1 D ean upon tbe subject of rellglou, either Its
doctrines or experience. Kven devout Christians
need to read book upon other sahjeota; much more
ihe unconverted sell liars and teacnei ol our schools.
'I his desire Is natural and Innocent, aud ought lo be
gratified. And It may be gratlUed not only without
danger to the reader morally, but to their great lu
lellei tnal profit. It follows, therefore, that no Sun
day School library sh' uid be composed exclusively of
bonks pi sltl vely or affirmatively religion.
Second. No Irreligious book ahouid ever be allowed
In a Sunday School library. By irreligious I mean
one that Inculcate false doctrine or tome morals, or
excites or influence the carnal propensities of the
Soul, or pollutes the Imagination, or lu any way dls-
f arages the great evangelical truth of the liospel; or
is general Influence upon the mind aud heart leads
away from God. aud tends to confirm the soul in Its
habits of neglecting the great salvation. All su.h
books should be kept out of every Sunday Sclio il
library. 'I hey are Ihe dead Hies lu mauy a pot of
otherwise precious ointment, wLoie odor, as they pass
Irom reader to reader, la tainting the whole school.
Third. While ro lloraiy should be C imputed wholly
of bowks of a atilully re'lgloun chsracter. every library
should contain a good supp y of strictly religious
literature. ... .
I. seldom as they are to be met with in oar schools,
the Sunday School lioi ary should contain hooks u poll
the great doctrimia of Christianity, livery aebjol
school ha In it mora or Las ot young
Christians, who need, and desire to read ouou
such subjects, but who havo pot the necessary books
at command. And It Is a grave mistake to suppose
that Instruct Ion In the great docirlues ot Christianity
la It us Important lliun it was fifty year ago. Ou the
contrary, If there ever was a time when It became us
to lake heed to the d"ctrlno, It is now. If the Bible Is
profitable for doctrines, why should the Suuduy
School Ignore I1 1
The young men In our Sabbath Schools who love
Christ, and Irom whom are t be drawn the future
ministry of the church, and but lew ot whom will
ever graduate from a ti eolovlcal school, need to read
works now drawn from bun day School libraries upon
the subject of the Trluliy, the tall and consequent de
pravity of mankind, the Incarnation uud proper
divinity iu Christ, ealvatlon through failli in ilia
hlo .,d, immortality ot thesoul, the resurrection of the
h dy, a liual aud geueral Judgment, eternal rewards
and puni-bmenls, etc.
The Baiety aud usefulness of the future Church of
this lai:o require Dial our youth uuderstuud ihego
gieat doctrines better than they do. And to this end
suitable books upon the above and kindred doctrines
are net easily fou d. Few doctrinal works have oeeu
written lor the young, aud for the reason, pi rhaps,
Ihat there has beeu little or do demand for them. An
opinion has seemed to prevail that Christian doo
trlnes should have little or uo place lu Suuday bchool
literature I
And yet, If search were made lu the right direction.
Kach denomination would be ablo to find some
thing lo till tbo chasm, and with ibe dema id there
would in time come the reqhislle supply. A con
nected series of IMuio volumes of froui one to two
hundred pages each, upon ihe great cardinal doc
trines of the Gospel, aud adapted to the capacity of
youth a sort of Sunday-School course ofreadiuf iu
theology is to-day a desideratum In all our sundry
School libraries. True, do one denomination
could provide what would be satisfactory to
ad; but let the Baptists have their
series tbe Presbyterians theirs, the Mctho lists
theirs, etc., but let all Id this way teat h tbe doctrines
ot Christianity an they uuderslaud and beliove them.
We need, and must have, more Christian doctrine in
our Sabbath School, or our religion will become un
intelligent, unstable, aud efleniiuat", and Ignorance
aud Infidelity will triumph lu the land.
2. 'i he .library should have books upon Christian
experience adaped to nurture the young In tue ways
or holy living of this class may be reckoned the
lives ot holy Dieu and women, w hose memoir Dave
been written for our learning. The Sunday t-cbool
library should Include a species of rellglou Uotlou If
jou pleaso locll It such a class of narratives not
htrlclly biographies or histories of facts, but por
traitures ot character and exhibitions of principle
aud doctrine and experiences and moral Instructions
under the form of a narrative, lam aware that this
is a mooted question whether any audi books should
be admitted lo our libraries, and yet. without pausing
to discuss the Issue, I could not recommeud their uni
versal exclusion.
Fourth. The library should contain a liberal supply
of books neither rellglou nor Irreligious; that Is,
books uol upon religious subjects, either doctrinal or
experimental, and yet having do Irreligious bearing
or tendency. Of tlila class are m.iny blograiihlai,
books of travels, histories, and treatises ou natural
histories,! discussions, Inventions, and the arts. A'l
these niay Interest, Instruct, and benefit tha youug,
thi gh tbey may not lead directly to Christ,
These general principle being kept In mind, how
shall a Sunday School ecuror replaulsh a Horary?
'j he usual course, I believe, Is to apuolut a commit
tee to purchase the books. Wherever this is doue
these things should always be burn In mind:
1, That the committee oouul.it o' Christian men,
known to be true to Christ and to the faith of Christ a
1 eld by the Church to which Ihey belong.
2, They should be tnUilii;ent, that la men of some
degree of culture, aud wuo can discern between truth
aud error, wheat and tare.
g. Tbev should be men who can give time If oecessary
lo ihe Important work aanlgned ihem. Just here is
one ol the great errors of most of our (ctiools. Tbey
appoint committees lo select books without reference
to their qualifications tor tbe work assigned tbem,
aud who can give little or no time to It, and the
result 1 that books are bought at random, and wa
have thousands or books 111 our libraries that ought lo
be winnowed out, and burned and sold ior old paper
between this and next Sabbath.
Do you ask eow mis can be arrived at. I answer.
1. Tut tbe work lulo the bauds of a competent com
mittee, pious, devoted to the Cburoh, Intelligent la
her doctrines, and who have flm or will take time,
to do thejr work well and In the fear of God.
As far as possible, let such Committee eramiiv.
every book they buy. Divide the work, and lake
lime, even II It be a week or fortnight, if necessary.
Jieltcr spend a miinlh In such an examination, and
let Hie school wait for you tnan to till a library with
book that will be polsououa to the minds of our
youths for yesrs tooome.
Nextio a personal examination, we may rely upon
these u ho lu our respective denomlnatimis have pu i
llkhrd lists or books tor Sunday School libraries.
Their editor have generally beeu aompeteiit. and
have done their work well: so that committees ar
generally safe In purchasing book Issued at their
respective publishing bouse expressly for Suuday
School libraries. Th chief danger lu this direction
Is, that while these books may be bound
In beautiful and unlfo'm style, too many
of theui may be printed from old plates, lie
heavy aud aiillquatea in their Btvle, and without the
llle-llke aspect of our modern page, or the charm of
pictorial Illustration. We have too many such book
iu our libraries, put In and numbered to swell th
catalogue, aud which we cannot well draw out b-

worthlea. and ought to b displaced by other aud
better publication. But o long a oomuiltum bu r
thru, so king our publishing hou.e will eoiitiuu to
fjtii i ja km lkmt mmI oui tualv M WW b luubk
with bo much Pnnday School Iterature that no ehIM
will ever select or read.
4. But these different catatonia areofien exhausted,
and still the cry Is heard mn e lxmk$. We have read!
all we have, and must have fresh volume, or atop
reading. Tnen come a new danger when we pne
ouiside the catalohe ot our respective denomina
tion to buy Sunday School bongs In the general
market. llere eeclally, committee should be
careful bow they buy book which lne have not ex
amlned, and Dext to a persos al eiamlna Inn
of the books, the character of the hotis
by whom tbey are Issued may give some
assurance of their orthodoxy and adaption to the pur
pi.ee lor Which they ar published. And yet. lew
ruhllrhern themselves read the book they publish,
a rite publishing houses have their rrlllc to examino
manuscripts, but tbe part that these critic have ap
proved a manuscript Is no proof, a'ter all, that every
such hook Is suitable for a Suuday School library.
th. There Is special danger in purchasing thene little
libraries, as Ihey are called, put up In boxn aud bear
ing some rancy name. I speak her af those pub
lished oulsld of our regular denominational cnta
li goes. Some of these are designed to steal their way
Into our schools, and strike a blow there at all evan
gi Ileal religion. Many or tbem are written by Hwe
uenhortlau.s, Unitarians, and Unl varsallsl. and In
sidiously Inculcate their peculiar heresies, and though
wiltleu In a style as fascinating as that oi ibe"Kuins
of Imiplrea" aud enib. Iiisheo by Ihe moat spirited
engravings, and sold al moderate prices, they are
nevertheless, with all their charm aud beauty, a
veritable "serpents on dove ' nest" a can h found.
In the whole range of modern literature. Oa theso
boxes or nest ol beautiful books, therefore, put up la
ins, published by unknown or unevaugello parti",
and thrown upou the common market, let ail com
mitter beware.
There are good book put up In this war. bnt many
of these thus Issued, outside of our deuomtuallounl
catalogues, are of doi btlul orthodoxy, aud If noilced
al all. needs to be carefully scrutinized. If ntodern
lliildelliy, or liberal Christianity so-called, doe sub
sidize, the secular press and poison the magazine
literature ol Ihe time, let ua put our
shrewdest detectives at the door of our Sunday
School libraries, and see to It that some of their pre
sent productions in any lorru ever find their way
through these chaoneU to the miuds of our children
and vuuth
Sncli, Mr. Chairman, ar the suggestions I would
