Methodism and Slavery. —A num
ber of clergymen of the Methodist Epis
copal denom.ination,havc published a cir
cular to the .members of tfaut Church, re
counting the history of the church as con
nected with slavery, and statiirg that they
“ feel that it is oarbounden duty to se
cure, if possible, at the next session of our
General Conference, which takes place at
N< Y., May Ist, 1360, a discip
linary rule, by which all'slaveholders shall
he declared ineligible to membership in
the Methodist Episcopal Church. Sla
very is deeply cursing our nation; and its
malign: influence is not less deadly upon
the Church of God 3 and we fed it to be
our duty as much as in uslieth, to remove
this curse, and to wipe away this reproach
from the otherwise pure escutcheons of
pur common .Methodism,.” They desire
that memorials bn, the subject may be
sent to the Conference. Wc do hope
that the Conference! will settle this matter
fully by emphatically! dedaring slavehold
ers .ineligible to membership in the M. E.
Chntchj or in favoriof- their admission, as
we think* cither would be preferable to
and productive of as little evil as the con
stant agitation of the subject as it now
stands.
The Washington National Monu
ment.—The Post Office Department is to
be made use of for raising funds to com
plete tile‘Washington Monument at Wash
ington. City. There can- be so objection
to this, for there is no other mode of
peaching the people in every part of the
Union. Contribution bo£es at- all’the
Post'Offices, with : the receipts remitted
monthly, should kqep the corporation in
funds to go on steadily with the. work till
it is finished. It is a disgrace to the
country that the monument should be left
so long in its present ugly and imperfect
condition; and though it is i£t very cred
itable to have to resort to novel and ex
traordinary modes of i raising money, it is
much-better to-do'that than jto have the
work heglected i)r abandoned, tjo stand as
a permanent reproach and disgrace to the
country. So lot the boxes be opened at
thePofltOffifces, and let everybody that
visits them drop in a trifle as he passes.
Newspapers. —-We have received sev
eral .copies of- a ujew paper styled the
State Journal , published at Philadelphia.
It is a well gotten up paper of 8 pages,
ordinary newspaper side, and it is edited
with much spirit. It supports the nomi

to be a valuable auxiliary in the Peoples’
ranks.

The latest returns from the Ken
tucky election indicate that the ten Rep
resentatives in Congress to which the
State is entitled, will be about equally di
vided between the Democrats and the
Opposition. The Democrats have about
thirty or forty on joint ballot in the Le
gislature, and they have their can
didates for Governor and other State offices
by about seven thousand majority.
A dispatch from Houston, Texas, via
New Orleans on the Bth, says that Sam
Houston is certainly elected Governor.
The result of the Congressional elec
tions in the above States leaves no doubt
of'the fact that the democratic party will
be In a minority in the next House of
Representatives. The Southern “ opposi

power, as the republicans, as a party, will
also* be unable to a majority.

of gratuitous preaching in the Academy
of Music, and’ other large buildings,) to
make the Gospel accessible to all. Ser
mons arc, therefore, the great feature of
the paper, and four or five are to appear
in each number. In the copy before us
are five—two by the Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon
of the Baptist Church of London, said to

A Mammoth Steamship Peoposed.
—Captain Randall of Philadelphia propo
ses to build, by stock subscription, a
steamer four hundred feet long, and forty
eight feet beam, with accommodations for
3,000 passengers, and 3,000 tons of
freight. This ship will have iron diago
nal braces around the frame, be iron
bound inside the planking, and iron bulk
heads dividing tha ship;in seven, compart-;
ments. The propelling power wiil betwo
marine engines of 3500 horse power,'and
two sefe of wheels. The ship will draw
but thirteen feet of water, and the pro
jector believes that one constructed after
bis .plans, would cross the ocean in seven
days. Tim cost €f the vessel is estimated
at $500,000. Captain Randall has had
much experience in steamships, both on
the Lakes and California.
*®-The Kansas Constitutional Con

have arisen from a bitter personal contro

TaKßißi.fi Ibsiab Ehoaqemebt.—From our
friend J. Jewitt Wilcox, clerk of the steamer
Omaha, just' down from Sioux City, says the
St Joseph’s Journal of the 80th, we learn that
a bloody and butchery t came off
about one hundred miles out in the interior of
Nebraska and Decater, between the Omaha and
Brule Sioux Indians on the 28d inst, A band
of fifty Omahas, men, women and children,
were returning from a hunting expedition, and
while encamped were stealthily attacked in
the night by a largeband of-the Brule Siouxs.
The Omahas had .seventeen killed, seventeen
wounded, and two prisoners taken, and suc
ceeded. in killing and securing five scalps of
their, enemies.- The survivors of the massacre
arrived at their reserve near Decator, bringing
the dead and wounded, on the day the Omaha
passed up. Mr. Wilcox states that the Siouxs
spared neither age nor sex. He saw a dead in
fant with a frightful woand across its forehead,
killed in the engagement. The dead and
Sounded lying in the bottom presented a terri
ble spectacle. The lamentation of the friends
and relatives, with faces blacked, and in deep
mourning,' were truly heart-rending. The
wounded are in charge of the Agent, who en
deavored to ameliorate their sufferings as much
as possible.
A One Sided Duel.— The Richmond corres
pondent of the Petersburg Express says: “A
duello of a novel character took place at the
residence of Robert Hancock, Esq., Shockoe
Hill, a day or two since, during the absence of
that gentleman from home. Two men servants
being engaged in a quarrel, in which both were
much abused, they were resolved to heal their
wounded honor by a resort to the duello. There
was but one pistol accessible to the combatants
—an old horse-man’s side arm—but they got
out of the dilemma in the following remarkable
manner; The weapon was’beavily charged,
the distance (ten paces) marked off, and tho
privilege of the first fire decided by the toss up
of a cent. The parties then took their position,
and the fortunate winner of the first fire asked
his antagonist if he was ready. Receiving an
affirmative response, the pistol-holder blazed
away,” striking his opponent on the forehead,
the ball tearing up the skin and glancing otf.—
Had it struck him plumply instant death would
h ive probably ensued. As it was, the defence
less darkey was severely stunned, and fell to
the floor.
A Midnight Funeral. —One of the most sol
emn sights for a person to witness, says the
Boston Herald, is a funeral at midnight. Uu
Sunday afternoon Mr. pnniel H. Maine, a mem
mcniber of the Chelsea City Council, died at his
resilience on Central avenue. The disease
which caused his death wus of such a nature
that bis body had to be interred at miduight.
While the clock was striking the hour of twelve,
ami the people had retired to their rest from the
labors of the day, with everything still and
culm beneath the broad canopy of Leaven, two
persons entered the house of mourning and re
move the remains of a brother to its final rest
ing place in the cemetery. It was a sad ana
mournful sight for the widow and children of
the deceased, as no friends, relations or neigh
bor could be present'to condole with them in
the hour of affliction.
Progress of Russia —lt has been very evi
dent, since the close of the last Russian war,
that this country has turned much attention to.
the means for improving its manufactures,
riculture, commerce, and its railroads, which
has given rise to an enormous demand for buil
ding materials, and bricks in particular. Mr.
Henry Clayton, of the Atlas works, Loudon, ihe
eminent maker of brick machinery, obtained,
some„ time since, special privileges frjrn the
Russian .Government for the introduction' of his
well kutwn and successful machirtcy, and his
system of brick manufacture throughout. Fur
the Establishment of brick manufac
tories in SL Petersburg and Moscow, Mr. Clay
ton has during this month sent out a staff of
first-class men to superintend the erection of
the buildings and machinery requisite for those
works, one of which is be capable of produ
cing at least 10,000,000 per annum.
V ert True I— A correspondent of the New
lork Evening Daybook thus gives her opinion
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in un agreeable
letter, in which he notices a number of notable
points of Pennsylvania locality ;
The road ;s one of the moat permanent in the
world, having been constructed at great ex
pense; the iron is heavy, and of the most ap
proved patterns. Cross ties larger than we
have seen in any road, all laid in broken stone„
which render the roadway firm, furnishes ex-,
cellent drainage, and at the same time is u per
fect preventative against the clouds of aust, a
source of great annoyance on many roads in
America. 'All things considered, we regard the
Pennsylvania Central, ns the Bailroad par excel
lence of the country. A ride over it is a great
treat to the lover of tine -scenery, or the travel
er who consults comfort. ‘
Latest fboji Kosslth—Mr. John M’Adara,
of Glasgow, writes’ to the North British Dadu
Mail; *
“ This morning I have received very late and
trustworthy intelligence from M. Kossuth.—
Particulars I am not yet at liberty to commu
nicate ; however, for the satisfaction of his nu
merous friends, I may state, that after bis be
trayal he remained only long enough to save as
many of his revolted countrymen from harm as
he could, and to prevent any further hopeless
insurrection. He then retired into Switzerland,
where he was joined by Madame Kossuth three
days i\go; and it is uncertain whether he may
not bo obliged to remain for some weeks before
he returns to Ehgland.”
Key to be Avenged.— Matthew Hnle Smith,
the New York correspondent of tho dioston
Journal , says: “ A madder set of fellows than
Daniel E. Sickles’ quondam friends are, cannot
be conceived. All sorts of things ape talked of
—mass meeting to compel Dan to resign—a let
ter, 16,000 strong, hinting the same way—sup
port to the claim of Williamson, vlho claims
that Sickles was not legally elected. What will
be done, no one knows. If he keeps open house
in Washington next winter, Sickles will haye a
jolly time of it—Key is not without strong friends.
Before the new turn in the affair, it was said
that the murder of Key would not be unavenged.
If the programme on both sides is carried out,
many think that another Washington traced v
will be known. * J

Mxdical FfiomiTixs ov tsk Tomato.— Dr.
M’Ccrmick, of Lancaster, baa been practicing a
series of experiments with the tomato, and has
succeeded in extracting its Cathartic properties,
which he thinks Will eventually supersede the
nse of calomel. The jSWkfel; properties are
thus, given; “It is a< prdmpt, efficient, ana
very l safe purgative; in smail' doses- it produces
an alternative action upon the hepatic fundtions
similar to calomfil ; in doses it aots a* a
purgative, witfea p to thfliver,
the functions of which itpoiierfally stimulates.
It produces copious discharges without any
griping or other unpleasant effects, and is de
cidedly a good preparation. Owing to its pleas
ant taste, it is welt calculated for - persona who
dislike the nauseating taste of purgative medi
cines, particularly children and delicate women.”
Prof. Bennett slates that the tomato is one of
the most powerful aperients of the liver and
other organs, and where calomel is indicated, it
is probably one of the most effective and the
least harmful remedial agents known to the
profession.
A Labob Stoby.— On the 2d of August, Mrs.
Timothy Bradley of Trumbull county, 0., gave
birth to eight children—three boys and five
girls. Tbey are all living, and oro healthy,
quite small. Mr. B.’s family is increasing fast.:
He was married six years-ago to Eunice Mowry,
who weighed 273 pounds on the diiy of their
marriage. She has given birth to two pair of
twins, and now eight more,;making twelve chil
dren in six years. - It seems strange, but nev
ertheless is true, Mrs. B. was a twin of three,
her mother and father both being twins, and
her, grandmother the mother of five pair of'
twins. Mrs. B. has named her boys after noted
and distinguished men: One after the lion.
Joshua R. Giddings, who has given her a splen
did gold medal; one after the Rev. Hoa Elijah
Chaplin, who gave her n deed of 50 acres of
laud, and the'other after James Johnson, Esq.,
who gave her a cow. Mr. Bradley eapra it is
profitable to have twins, os the neighbor? have
clothed the others ever since they were born.—
Mr; B. is a poor, industrious laborer, but says
ho will not part with any of his children while
he is able to work.
