PERTINEYTI AND INCENDIA RY SENTIIIEETIL-
• Some days ago a leading niticle appeared in
'' the New York- Citizen, supposed to be from
the pen of its late editor, John Mitchel, an
nanaturalized resident," commenting in se
vere and brigand-like terms upon the recent
ordet. of Governor;Gardner, of Massachusetts,
disbanding all military companies composed
of foreigners in that State. We make - a few
extracts:
'• For •every musket given to the State
Armory, let ihree be purchased forthwith; let
independent companies be fon:lied, thrice as
numerous as the disbanded corps—there are'
no Arm Acts here yet—and let every 'foreign
er' be drilled and trained, and have hie arms
always ready. For you may be sure (having
some experience in the mater) that those who
begin by disarming you, mean to do you mis
chief.
'• Be careful not to truckle in the smallest
particular to American prejudice. Yield not
e. single jot of your own; for you have as good
a right to your prejudices as they. Do not,
by any means, suffer Gardner's Bible, (the
Protestant Bible) to be thrust down your
throat. Do not abandon your posts or re
aounce your functions as citizens or as sol
diers, but ever resort to the last and highest
tribunal of law open to you.; keep the peace;
-attempt no `demonstrations;' discourage
drunkenness, and stand to your arms.
"Is it to be conceived that the Madness of
' faction and the insolence of race will proceed
. to such a length' as to disarm independent
companies or private men. If they do, then
the Constitution is at an end—the allerancc
you hare sworn to this Republic is at a t end.

I Would to God that thoughtful an just
Americans would' bethink themselves i time.
They are strong—they far outnumber t e for.
eign born; they are proud, and flushed with
national ,glory and prosperity ; doubtlets they

to a race that has never wronged them_; but
seriously, earnestly, we assure them* that nat
uralized citizens will not submit- This sense:

Now, it'is the unquestionable. prerogative

We have. been Carol bed with a Report, in
.pamphlet form, of t 4 proceedings and speech
es at the late dedication of certain Coal es
tates at Shamoken by Judge Regenstein for
charitable purposes. It contains the address
of Judge Regenstein, . Governor Bigler and
the Rev. Mr. Washburn. We have room but for
the following from the Judge's address on the
occasion, showing his reasons for this henefi-
CC El C. , .: :
Parsinsicr:—lt behooves me to speak on
this occasion with great modesty and diffidence, as
an humble agent, used by a iv* Providence, in,
accomplishing, in my limited sphere, his purposes
' of good:
It has seemed to ins that, in this age of iseqesi_
. olent enterprise ' when the hearts of men are 'be
ginning to respond in some better. and higher de
gree, yet I fear, far, coy jar, short" of the high
standard of our duty to the wants of our common
brotherhood, that antiquated and traditional er
ror of Dying bequests, tends often to mutilate, if
not dcdtroy, the noblest charities.
WhY wait'lor death to consummate' a benevo
lent purpose ? Why hold the gifts and trusts of a
kind Providence for years dormant and useless,
waiting till death shall relax our hold upon them,
and'open this door for their application ?The dis
mal consequences of this common and popular er
ror are almost beyond computation.
if such . ' sacred trust is created and applied in
full life and health, under. the .direction and the
system of the living donor, his intentions are like
ly to be carried out. There is no misapplication,
no'suis-constructiou' of intentions, no litigation
and contesting of wills, no interference of selfish
and interested heirs—none of the delay and gig . -
Titles uncertainty of the law ! What a history,
painful and gloomy, is the sad story of posthu
mous bequests, with , their selfish and ignorant per-,,
version, in the defeat of the most liberal inteu- '
tions,i-in the squandering Aire' , of the most mu- -
tilficent means. 'How diffircot the executionfrom_
the iutention ! the reality from the hope !. The ono
beautiful in Its charity and love, and in its prae

execution, whet a distorted ogre—a meagre, fright

ing orthe sacred charities ho designs to live long
after be is forgotten, or known only as hie name
may be connected with them ?

And then, what new energies, what giant pow-1

the Omit heart and mind of the world, le all its
varied and diversified labors and projects; and en

sordid avarice would be . trizisformed inoiiies
worthy of a Seraph's bosom ; and wealth,=., in such
a noble application, would'tiot be unworthy of-sin

But benevolent- means pre-eminently: require

What is denominated by miners a second lift, that
to say, they have foi some time been working
down a slope eighty r fiye yards below the surface,
and are now sinking nn additional depth of seven
ty yards, which will Make in all one hundred and
fifty-five yards below the surface of the ground.—
ThosO deep, subterranitous caverns, hewed out.by
the Skill and ingenuiti of the miner, would appear
to a stranger as a distant, gloomy place, but the
miner prefers being there, to being engaged on the
surface, and why ? because he is at all times pro
tected from the intluetice. of the leather, and all
thatis . r6quired to makehis situation at all times
safe, is care and strict attention to the proper ar
rangement of their work: We are happy to say
that during our short visit to Mr. Harper's mines,
everything indicated such an Urrangement. The
men engaged, appeared to bo all Leber and intel
ligent men, and appeared to have the interest of
their employers 'at heart. It would be well if some
of our other Operators; could have
L it said of them,
that their works were Supplied with sober men, so
that they, too, would feel a greater interest in
their employer's welfare than in the bottle. We
ascertained that Messrs. Harper a Co. will be pre
pared and expect to ship, the ensuing season, six
ty thousand tons, and have no doubt of the fact
of their being able, as. their vein of Coal isof
very unusual thicknesii, ranging from ten to twen

schutes in the course of erection, which, when
completed, will contain one thousand tons of pre

"ORIGIN or CAMP-MEETINGS."
EDITOR Or :NI iNzus t JoustNAL: -/) car Sir:—ln
your paper tif last week, a prominent place on the
first page was 'occupied by an article having the
above caption, ),itli u 4 introductory heading, 'Re
ligious." In the column of printed matter so her,
dldca, the subject announced received the meagre
attraction of , a Single paragraph, the greater part
of the remainder being devoted to an account of
various Fingerer species 'of mental and physical
excitement; ' , which, while they preceded the era
of camp-ineetingS were alio peculiar to no sect,
• norto any especial time or place of meeting. It
will wot perhaps be necessary to notice further the
',subject which found.se little space, in the article
`referred to: for it is not to'so light a mutter. as
Julie caption, I mean to call your attention, nor to
the tacit insinuation that would. connect the sub
ject twined, with the . rsubjeet treated . --it is to a•
matter More serious: •
The mass Of Christian_ ministers intended by the
epithet t•Saddle-bags;',' Will be easily recognized .
by ypur readers. TIM name is doubtless inelegant,
but its Use Indicates ith sufficient clearness, the
life id almost'Aptattone devotion and toil- 7 --the pa
tient endurance, and the unwearied zeal, which so
strikingly characterised those first. Evangelists 'of
ttiOrilderness, It -may indeed amuse or offend
the fastidious delicacY of modern refinement and
' piety, but it cannot fail to excite the honest admi
ration of every true-hearted man. It is against
this ,dass that the author of your article, on the
authority of a, historY.wrapped in the same obscu
rity ,as himself, prefers a grave and - dark accusa
tion, as false as it is bold. lle says,—"The writer
to whom I referred, says 'nearly h alf of the min
iefteitt of that peiiod were st one one time and another,
subject to church cemiiires-yor various faults.' I
have characterized this charge as false, and I am
'supported in, se doing. "Church censures" /de
matters otrecord, and the only authority which
would be definitive dna positive on this point;
giros no such testiinotiy. For the support of this
statement, I refer your-writer 'and readers to a
-history whose name I have no hesitation in giv
dng,•—"Bang'e list. Of the M. E. Church,',' the
writer of which had full access. to nll'records of.
church action, as well as • the external - Sources .of
' general information ; ,there they will (Ind not only
authoritative refutations of such charges, but
many "other" interesting statements with regard
.to that early time._ It may be, a matter of infer-.
mation to your anonymous contributor, to know
that, each one of those "Saddle-bag" ministers
.wal required to pass (as do,their - succeesors of the
preient day) an'anniiitl - examination with his pri
vate and ministerial Character, which would have,
,
secured effectually the "church censure" when mer
ited and have prevetited at, leak, the more than
,
temporary continuanCe of any eyil practice. It
is notritfirmed that those ment.werii all immacu
late; bodies of men never haim - heen so ;.but whe
ther bishops or ministers, they will compare, and
not. unfaverablY,• with similar officers in other
churches. The denomination, now the largest in
this free and enlightened nation; directly affecting
. unradifth of the entire 'population, and which is
ramited to look upon those venerable men as "Fa
their," has nowhere it higher place in the affec
' time of the community, and in its consequent to
chit inflaienee than in the State of Kentucky, which,
Is said to have boon'the scene of such astonishing
ministerial defection, and also with equal truth of
"intestine feuds" and "dissentious," by which the
church was "torn, wasted," and infidelity made
generally prevalent. Were these grave accuse
' tioas of your contributor at ell correct, it ,would
,
be a matter of extreme surprise, that the Antelli
,
gent people of that community should have been
able to forget or lose eight of the very gloomy an
tecedent of the church they lov i e, and the minis
tens they sustain.
You mill confer a favor on some of your read
ers- and correct tho false impressions of many
more, if you will givia place to y these remarks in
your next issue. ; Yours, Thum.

'Empire State; however:that lieu! be, if the arch
agitator ho not returned to his in•esent position, it
will not be for lack !of efforts eni the part of his
friends—they have left no meaneltin tried—no stone
unturned—all the engines of political patronage
have Lean brimght to bear un Wavering or obsti
nate opponents—fat; prizes of canal jobs and otlice
'appointments have been temptingly put forth—
euntitry members have been fouSted and flattered
in private circles. and the uuturiens wine collars
of. Tburlow Weed have yielded up their sparking
contents to fuddle the brains of ihesitating voters.

B. Sax:van Esq.:—The question put a few weeks
age. whether wheat turns into cheat, has not been
answered; however numerous the advocates on
:the affirmative= are I 'will therefore give at least
Some of what they ,eonsider reasons. - Some say.
;that shriveled dwarflah wheatil the reason of such
transmutation;. Others - say that whiteheads, or
'that wheat which has part of the chaff around it
;When town: others againsai that close cropping
by
.fowls, ,Le.; brings!, about sech . a change, and
,still others contend that moist locations and wet
:weather bring about such's herbal' revolution.
Now-4 will briefly notice theui in succession:
nny sane; man contend' that-a shrivelled
chstnitt, or one with the 'enclosing it when
Platted, would undergo a transmutation end pro
duce an oak, or that the cutting off repeatedly- the
eprbuts of an'apple tree, that in the end it would
produce a cherry; or that Indian corn planted in
a wet pine", or in a mei season; would change into
pumpkins• ' or if a raspberry bush be , covered by a
snow- drift - undergo the change into a 'com
mon wild blackberry. Now these changes - are
just as reasonable as:the transmutation of wheat
or rye iota. cheat, for they are governed by 'the
same laws of nature. That crosses are; occasion
ally effectei'l. no one of. the lesit experience de
nies; but such erosies will never step _beyond the
family tO which they belong: for instance corn
will amargainate, - but it will always be corn and
no flax; wheat may be arose& but will never
become timothy; all seeds produce their like or
nothing. Who ever heard of a shriireled horse, or
ono closely cropped off—say both earScnt off, a leg
or two fractured—betome a fine fat cow ; or a mis
arable cow, a fat, thrifty sheep? Orlastef all, who
has ever ,heard of, or seen a 'man: undergo the
transmutation ; and become a certain animal fre
quently dressed_in men's cloihieg, and called mon
key? If stteh be the case, it is leftfor the friends
of transenitation, to bring it to notice.
