captain, - .
•,,,Allbw me to publish,. through your valuable
PaPar. a, correct statement of the facts concerning
the difficulty between myself and Mr: Mulligan.
There never was any motive of quarrel between us
previous to' the night of last week, when; entering
n drinking saloon•with a stranger and au Italian
friend, Mulligan, half - drunk, and - surrounded by
asveral friends, passed some insulting remarks to
ward me.. To this I replied, "I bear you, and
will Oct you again.” Re then remarked, "I hope,
rill' will meet •me as a • gentleman." I an
nwered, "tertainly," and walked out. My friend
also came out, and having _understood nothing of
wind had occurred, "he pot epeeklog the 'English
language," was surprised to find himself surround
ed byAo whole party; insulted, and 'threatening
weapens being drawn on him. I then challenged
Oldr. Mulligan.• ' . , •
• -It' iwaa very diffiordt for me •to find any friends
wicking English, and especially as very few gen
,tlemeit Would willingly have their mines brought
in connection with such a man as .Mr. Mulligan.
14,y, friend; who could the best Understand the
. language, carried the, challenge, accepted the'
weapons proposed, navy Big-shooters, and
-cursed the conditions, which were written, no as
,to have no misunderstanding. The hour appoint
ed was four o'clock P. M., at the ferry. I was
•
there half an hour in advance, alone;,. my. friends
' were, there exactly at the time. We crossed on the
;other aide, and there waited fully one hour for the
other parties to come. At last, and when we were
giving up all hopes of seeing them at all, they came
alma dusk. • . •
Instead of 'being alone. as had been agreed
upon, they were followed by , a carriage full of out
:eiders, which they bad faithfully promised' hat to
'do. Before marching towards the ground, they
hogan to proper a change in the weapons, offering
-aingle.barrel restola, which they had brought-with
them, and which wo knew nothing about. This'
being declined, and - a atop having peon made on
'the - road,' in a Wood, 'without any " opening field, ,
they ppYposed 13hanging the 'Thiene°. We re
fused, and they then refused to fight, at our
agOtted-upon distance.
My friend, at my request, offered, as night was
coming on; to draw for thedistanee, but even that
they refused, and they withdrew,learing neon the
field, where we remained %quarter of an at

'that their statement is a lie. Ines/consider Mr.

The October Election.
! On Tuesday next the people of Pennsylva
nia will be called upon teivote for State and
county officers and for meMbeni of the Legis
lature. Considerable interest hits been at
tracted to this contest by'the fact that, it was
in our good Commonwealth'that:the first blew
Was struck against the desPollsin of the . Fede
ral Government and the first organization set
on foot to arrest the deliberate ptirposo of Mr.
SIJORANAN and his Cabinet, first to desert and
then to destroy the Democratic creed. .A.'
ragid iceepttelation of thn
. Course of events
since this purpose has been foreshadowed at
'Washington, May not bo Inappropriate, in
order that the reason that will govern many
Democrats in their action at the polls on Tues
day next , may be understood and appreciated
'in advance; .
Every effort having neenyainly Made by those
who regarded adlierenee to principle as beyond
all other considerations to Induce the Adminitr
fiation to retrace its false step on the Territo
rial question, and after their appeals for totem - -
tion in a difference with a President who owed
his election mainly ,to their exertions, had
been answered with insult, the struggle wait
adjourned to the State Convention, Which
met at Harrisburg, on the Dotard' ofMarch, 1858.
A. number of the most intelligent - and Con
sistent Democrats of Pennsylvania appeared
on the ground, and a powerful minority, repre
senting an unmistakeable public sentiment,
contended in the Convention that the Demo
cratic party might not be placed in the wrong,
and that the ballot-box might not be provoked
to 'condemn a gross 'departure from plighted
faith' and universally-accepted doctrines. The
officials of the Federal Government, acting,
however, under instructions tom their Was
ters* at the Federal capital, bad obtained enth
a Control
,of the Convention, that they not only
insisted upon the mons extravagant commen
dations of Mr. Buenas/sr and his treacheries,
but deliberately vokall: down a re-mfderneffient
of the Cincinnati platform, Erst as embodied
in the resolution's of Mr. Snouts, of West
moreland, and Subsequently in those ef Mr.
Castions, of Armstrong.
The representation of llennsylvania in the
Thirty-sixth bongress had to be elected in
October of that year, and a Judge of the Su
preme Court had to be chosen to fill a va
cancy. The Mayor and Councils of Philadel
phia were also to be elected hi the Inteeecling
May. But with all thtlie Interests at stake,
the Convention proceeded in its work of pro.
scription ; and the course marked out by the
plaeeholders in that body was followed up by
the Administration iu removing from office all
men who did not promptly accept the poi
soned cup tints presented to their lips. The
result was the defeat of °Very candidate for
Congress who did not denounce the policy of
the Administration, (with two exceptions,)
and the election of the Opposition candidates
for the Supremo Judgeship by an unprece
dented majority.
Immediately after the election of that year,
new steps were taken to continuo the work of
ostracism. Again were the dependents of the
Federal Government directed to see that no
delogato Should he ehoeoh to the State Con
vention, Which mot at llarrisburg in March of
1859, who was not ready to advance upon the
shameless example of the Convention of March,
1868. In the meanwhile STEPHEN A. DORCILMI
had carried his ease before tho people of Illi
nois, holding in his hands the regular organi
zation of the party, and proving, evorywhure,
his consistency and Integrity in the slapped of
regular Democratic principles. Ile was, never
theless, opposed and traduced by the paid hire
lings of Mr. Buen.tuAu and his Cabinet, and
hold up as a traitor, only because he would not
and could not approve their own ingratitude
and treason. This triumph awakened the pro
foundest sympathy in the Democratic heart
throughout the 'Union, and especially in the
great State of Pennsylvania.. nut even this
lesson produced no effect upon the President
and his Satellites. The State Convention
of March, 1859, laid down a programme,
such, wo venture to say, as has never be
fore been offered to au intelligent and con
fiding Democracy. Inflamed by the success
of Judge Deuor.as;indlgnant at the defeat of •
recreant representatives who bad defied the
wishes of their constituents in voting to sus
tain the Lecompton policy of the Administra
tion, and resolved to punish every independ
ent man who refused to dishonor himself by
yielding tamely to their mandates, the mana
gers of this Convention, nearly all of them ad
herents of the Administration, and expectanti
at its hands, repeated their heresies of the
year before, denounced the Executive of Penn
sylvania for his Intrepid action on the Territo
ry d question, refused to him the ordinary com
pliment always heretofore extended to the De
mutate Chief magistrate of Pennsylvania,
and closed their tyrannical proceedings by ap
pointing at the head of their State Committee
an individual who had made himself conspi
cuous by Insisting upon the most odious theory
In regard to the Territories—that which do.
mends that the General Government shall in
terpose to protect slavery in those Territories,
In defiance of the known will of the people.
Two very excellent gentlemen were nomi
nated for the only two State offices to be voted
for on Tuesday next, whine election would
have been morally certain but for the fact that
the Administration had resolved upon forcing
an endorsement of its own treacheries upon
the party through the individual referred to,
whose first step was to issue an address, in
which he put the seal of his high sanction
upon the heresies of the Convention itself, and
deliberately called upon the people to vote for
the two candidates nominated by that Conven
tion, on the express ground that these heresies
were right, and that the conduct of the Ad
ministration, on the only great question now in
issue, was consistent and proper. Neither
this action of the Convention, nor that of
its domineering representative, was, of
course, submitted to. A vast assemblage of
the Democracy of Pennsylvania suhse.
quently repudiated the doings of the Adminis
tration Convention, and solemnly declared
their purpose never to support a ticket thus
nominated and advocated. What followed is
of so recent a date as to be familiar to all.
The agents of the Administration, operating
with the money of the people, penetrated Into
a number of the counties of the State, and re
enacted the proceedings which took place in
Harrisburg in March, 1859. They denounced
Governor P.►axus, and refused the slightest
recognition of his eminent abilities and un
questioned devotion to the interests of Penn
sylvania and to the principles of the Demo
cratic party, and made the policy of the General
Administration the test of political orthodoxy.
In Philadelphia they surpass themselves in
this nicked work. By means of mercenaries
gathered from the navy yard, post office, cus
tom-house, mint, the Federal courts, and the
United States Marshal's office,. they have
seized upon the organization of the party—
have called public meetings, at which recent
converts from other parties have gloried in li
bels upon well-tried Democrats—have pur
chased the mastery of the Executive Commit
tee of the party—and have removed from
place every Democrat who has not been ready
to raise his voice in praise of their despotism.
This Executive Committee, headed by an
office-holder and controlled by office-holders,
organized by refining to admit to his seat a
duly-elected Democrat from the Eighth ward,
only because ho dared to stand true to Demo
cratic doctrines, has audaciously overstepped
all precedent by making the policy of the Ad
ministration a teat in our local elections, and
by declaring that all who disapprove that po
licy have gone over to the Opposition party
This glance at the past and present condi
tion of politics in Pennsylvania explains ILo
reason why, at the coming election, hundreds
and,thousands of Democrats have resolved to
prove their devotion to Democratic principles
by withholding their votes from an organiza
tion thus prostituted, and from a ticket thus
sustained. We trust there is no intelligent
and honest Democrat anywhere, reflecting
upon the facts as we have presented them, and
as they are' known to him, who will he over
awed by any consideration in the exercise
of his deliberate judgment, and in the
.performance of the high duty which his
conscience and his principles alike call
upon , him to perform. Let the mark upon
this ticket be made so plainly that ic all
who run may read." Let the rebuke be so
emphatically administered that it may be heard
to' the extremities of the Union; that the
'Administration may hear it; that Charleston
luny hear it; and that it may sound as a les
son through ail time to party leaders ready to
sacrifice great principles at the command of
mon in office.
We are told by some of the organs of the
Administration that in a late speech of Judge
D01:101.0, at Pittsburg, ho wont out of his way
to invoke the Democrats of Pennsylvaniaftg
standby their organization, and that id Baying
this ho-intended to place" upon record his wish
that the State ticket nominated by the last Ad
ministration State Convention might be voted
for by the State-Rights Democracy of Penn
sylvania.
Judge Deratzs has his own duties to per
form, and we have ours. He stands testis the
organization, but also with the piney/es of
the party in Illinois. Give us the principles
and we go for the organization ; but whoa the
soul of our party has fled, the party ceases to
have any claims upon us, and when a minority,
simply strong because they wield Federal
power for the moment, aro enabled to make
the organization paramount, and the faith of
the Democratic party secondary, we should be
Wanting lb BOW-respect and be deservinE of n o
MiteMpt of all honest men l'i*6 did not resist
and rebuke their treachery. When Judge
Deuexha paised through Philadelphia after his
tritiniPh in Illinois, ho expressly stated that ho
sympathised with the revolt against tyranny in
which we were then alt *e ake now engaged;
and *e, *lad itiVoir the man, can understand
that he would do the same thing under similar
circumstances. He never IVould have sup
ported au Administration ticket in Minis, if
nontinatod at the Aaministratlon ticket has
heat hominated in Pennsylvania —by the
merest slaves of power, and placed upon a
platform repudiating the sacred principles to
which his whole life has been dedicated.
In his letter to Mr. Dunn, of town, stating
his position on the Presidential nomination,
Judge Dturtikas expressly stated that ho would
accept no nomination unlelis the Democratic
National CoitVentinh tenognised the principles
or which he is the representative. The logical,
irresistible, and inevitable conclusion from this
declaration is, that no Democfat Nan support a
candidate who ides not believe in and avow
Deitibiimlie doctrines. Such is the position of
the State-Rights Democracy of Pennsylvania,
neither more nor
But we belieVe ]here is hope in the future.
Aka the smoke has cleared from the battle
field on Tuesday next, and honest men look
each other calmly in the face, the practical
question will present itself to them, whether
the Administration of the Ptdeial Govern
ment shall pfePafe us, in this great State,
dutllhee year of disaster, or whether its work of
1858.9 shall be repeated with superadded ty
ranny and proscription in 1860 7 We look to
Charleston no longer as a Coining collection
of men bent simply oh approVing the wrongs
Mr. 13tICIIAXASI has heaped upon the Northern
Democracy, and resolved upon rushing the
*hole party upon the rocks and breakers of an
impracticable and an impossible issue. In this
spirit we shall prepare for its deliberations
and action, in the full cbnildence that it will
take no step to perpetuate the misfortunes and
reverses which have fallen upon the great
Democratic party, by the weakness and
wickedness of men in office.

the Xe* York Times, which is doing all that
the Herald brags of but fails to perform, has
published seveild letters thin tngland relative
to the Orkit Pastern,—letters over the sobri
quet of tt Tubal Cain," which have given us
more information upon the subject than all
the longwinded and elaborate reports of the
London papers. Tho N. Y. Times says:
"Cur correspondent is an American civil en
gineer, of thorough edimation, and high pro
fessional accomplishment ; and has had a
practical experience, as Well as scientific
training, in ihd adject of which he writes.
We have assigned him to this service because
the vast importance of the experiment to the
practical science and the commercial interests
of this country, as well eh dr Um world,
seemed to fdltilie—not the mere graphic nar
rative of a literary man, but the careful study
and intelligent report of an engineer. Ho will
remain with the Great Eastern until she is
ready to take her departure, and will then
come with her to the United States."
The last communication from this special
and well-qualitled correspondent, dated Sep
tember 16th, and published in the New York
Times on Saturday, is full of interest, mote
particularly as the writer takes a view of the
performances and capabilities of the Great
Eastern considerably less rose-tinted than
those expressed, with considerable enthusi
asm, by the correspondents of the London
daily journals.
Her steering, he says, Was perfect smalls.
Her holding power is excellent "One six
and a half ton anchor held the MSC' and half
a dozen steamboats against wind and current
in the Thames, oc•en after she had swung
three times with the tide. The same anchor
held her fast in the Noro against a reefing
breeze, and again at Portland, without a
In the weighing anchor, the great ship is
slow. Tubal Cain says : In the river,
fifty minutes were occupied in hauling it up,
the auxiliary engine provided for that pur
pose being in use half the time, to say nothing
of three tiers of sailors and passengers at the
capstan. At the Nora, nearly two hours
elapsed before the anchor came up. The
auxiliary gear broke down ; a tooth was out of
the wheel. It seems too light to do much
good, or else there is not power enough in the
friction clutch by which it is applied. It
made very little difference with the anchor
whether it was in gear or out of gear. The
4. kinking" of the cable was another source
clay. I think it will ho found that these
heavy cables need more conveniences for
their handling than have been employed with
light chains."
Then as to speed, the quickest time she
made was 13 nautical miles an hour, wind and
tido being with the vessel. Next day, with a
strong head wind and rough' sea, the speed
was not more than 7 knots an hour—though
the London journals estimated it at 21 miles,
or somewhat over 18 knots.
Of the screw-engines, wo are told they are
"a very solid piece of work—much better
built than designed. With 60 feet of vertical
space, I have not discovered tho necessity of
jamming them Into the bottom of the bold, es
pecially since upright engines would have
made a much bettor job. As I have before
mentioned, the paddle-engines aro the most
smoothly-working piece of steam machinery I
ever saw, considering their size. If the shafts
do not break, (three were made before ono
would stand,) no trouble is to be apprehended
from them." But the bulk heads, which have
been represented as insuring the perfect safety
of tho vessel, were really in a very unfit state
for going to sea; aud the explosion re
vealed the fact that under aertain contingen
cies the vessel *night founder, and that she is
not as yet by any means fire-proof, but more
nearly so than any other vessel. The cause
of the explosion is stated to have been—not
the turning of a stop-cock, as is represented—
but the faulty construction of the heater.
The sailing of the Great Eastern from Eng
land is now fixed for the 28th October. That
is, if she be not required to convey British and
French troops to China, where a new war is to
be made. It is calculated that she can con
vey 10,000 men, faster than any other means
of carriage in the world, and it is as likely as
not that the British Government will charter
her as a war-transport.
The California Election.
The reported triumph of the Administration
in California, after an unexampled contest,
need surprise no ono who has looked at the
character of the struggle, and has ev.to ordi
narily estimated the immense amount of pa
tronage wielded by the Federal Government
on the shores of the Pacific. The induce
ments offered for the support of any Adminis
tration to the politicians In that quarter are
too tempting to be resisted, and we aro not
astonished that the desperate men who have
control of the disbursement of millions of the
public treasury annually have proved too
strong for the people. Tho Republicans voted
their own State ticket apart from the State-
Rights Democracy, who supported theirs, thus
increasing the majority of the Administration
Governor and State officers. It is reported
that MeKinurn and &mit hale been elected
to COngress—the one a State-Rights Demo
crat, the other a Republican—which we trust
may prove to be a fact, althoitgh we have no
good grounds to hope for it. Our friends in
California have made a bold, bitter, and tho
rough contest, and, although • defeated, may
hold up their heads In the consciousness that
they have fallen alone in the cause of justice
and their country.

The large and commodiotis tie* betel at the
corner of Ninth skid ‘Cheistnitt streets, Whicti
is one of the fined buildings in the country, 13
now rapidly advancing to completion, and it
will largely increase the accommodations of our
city for travellers and transient visitors before
the winter is over. Meanwhile our present
excellent hotels aro kept in a manner that fully
sustains their deserved reputation.
One of the great secrets of the commercial
success of New York is unquestionably thb
pains studiously taken there to present Miran.
tiona to strangers, and if more attention were
paid to this matter in Philadelphia, we believe
her citizens would be amply compensated for
their trouble. Our prominent places of public
amusement are now under excellent manage=
ment, but if the experience of other citied
attbrds any criterion, thei4 number might be
advantageously increased, and additional vigor
and variety infused into the whole business of
catering to the theatrical and operatic tasie3 of
the public during every winter season.
Philadelphia, once the capital of the nation)
and the metropolis of the country, possesses
many solid qualities calculated to secure for
her perininently the latter position, if her
citizens are ambitions to acquire it. Though
the seat of the National Government Las been
removed to Washington, and the tide of fo
reign commerce now ebbs and flows through
the port of Now York, the present and pros-
pectivc prosperity of Philadelphia is founded
upon a solid and enduring basis. Her
manufacturing supremacy is thoroughly
established. Her geographical position is
a peCuliarly advantageous ono, for it ren
ders her the natural central distributing
point for the immense internal trade of a large
portion of the entire country. She is abun
dantly endowed with all the elements of learn
ing, refinement, and wealth. Her medical
schools possess a world-wide reputation and
thousands of young aspirants for Esculapian
honors flock hither every winter to attend
them. lcd city in the world is more healthy,
and no city more attractive and delightful as a
place of residence, for the real comforts and
pleasures of lifo are placed, at a moderate
cost, within the reach of all.
During the winter, therefore, when city lifo
is regarded as a necessity by a largo portion
of the population of our country, the great
centre of attraction should be Philadelphia.
By many—indeed by all who have learned to
appreciate its advantages—it is now so con
sidered. But If the number of capacious
modern hotels, and the presentation of attrac
tive popular amusements increases, there will
be an additional tide of wealth poured through
the business channels of our city every winter,
from the liberal purses of wealthy strangers.
From time to time, we have noticed the trium
phant sucoosa—in fact, ono 'continued ovation—
which those gifted and accomplished young Phila
delphians, the sisters Inez and Fannie Natal!,
have experienced during their long grime from
this city, on professional engagements in South
America and other places, their latest triumph be
ing in Cuba, where the pttritp and freshness of
their voices, as well as their etiellent execution,
awakened an enthusiasm which is inadequately ex
pressed by the word furore. These young ladies
returned a few Or eeks ego, and having heard them
at a private outlook, we are enabled to say that
they fully deserve all the success they hare obtain
ed, and all the more substantial advantages which
they have realized. We have heard them sing in
English, Italian, German, French, and Spanish.
They have been carefully educated, and ere
perfect mistresses of these various languages.
In this acoomplishmetit, as in some others,
they remind us of that Oueen Of Bong, the gifted
world's favorite. Afalibran.
During an absence of eighteen months, in which
Signor Rocco's valuable assistance, as a vocalist of
acknowledged standing, wee oonstantly supplied,
they developed not only great vocal powers, but
more considerable dramatic ability and intelligence
than are usually in combination on the lyrical
stage. For one prima donna who can'really act,
there aro ninety-and-nine who are more alias upon
the stage. The Natali, on the contrary, have un
doubted dramatic ability—probably resulting from
the feet that they have brain as well as voice.
At Venezuela these Prime Donne excited a regu
lar wry of admiration. The journalists there ex
panded upon the rendition of Norma by Inez Na
tal!, and of Adelgisa by Fannie. Equally eulo
gistic was the notice of their performance in "The
Trodden," Luorezia Borgia," " Ernani," " Ri
goletto," "Nabueo," "Ii Puritani," Travinta,"
"Lucia di Lammermoor," "La Favorite," and
other operas.
From Caracas they went to the Inland of St.
Thomas, where they intended giving one concert
and were compelled to give three. After this,
they proceeded to Porto Rico, still accompanied by
Signor Rocco, where they bad a series of operatic
performances in the principal theatre of San Juan,
the capital. Here, too, their success woo very de
cided. In the other cities of the Island, their re
ception was no lose satisfactory, and on their return
to San Juan, the theatre—almost deserted on the
nights when the Spanish drama wee played—was
constantly crowded when the Natali reappeared.
Fannie Natalie Azucena in "The Trovatore" was
hailed as a wonderful triumph of acting and sing
ing. They appeared in other Italian operas, but
their greatest SUMAS woo when they sang in Span
ish opera—Spanish being the language of the
audience.
From Porto'llieo homeward—taking Cuba en
route, and singing at St. Jago and at Havana, at
the latter place achieving their great triumph, for
the audience, who have the reputation of being
fastidiously difficult to please, at once took the fair
Natali to thoir hearts.
Their voices, soprano and contralto, aro wonder-
fully harmonious, passionate, purn, and expreesive.
They Bing duets with a peculiar oneness of tone,
whioh is as surprising as delightful. Their great
charm Is, that they really seem as if they were ut
tering thoughts in melody, and it is delightful to
hear the harmonica of these pure, fresh, and young
voices.
lire long, we hope, they will be beard in the
Academy of Music, in this, their own, city, where
they will be well received and fairly judged. We
have no fear of the result.
The receipts in the different theatres last night,
must have been greeter than on any night within
the last two yeara—at least. We limit the time, as
a scrupulous critic, within our own certain know
ledge.
Walnut-street Theatre was " as full as full could
be"—owing to the combined attractions of Miss
Maggie Mitchell's performances, and the attend
ance of the Lynn Fire Association and the United
States Engine Company, their hosts and ewes.
At the Arch, Collins performed in a couple of
Irish pieces, with all the spirit and juvenility of
five-and-twenty, (we believe he is two or three
years older,) and sang " Widow Medulla" as only
John Collins oan sing It now. We have seldom
seen the Arch so full.

meeting at Jayr.e's Hall.
The great meeting of the day, however, was that
which w nis announced to take place at four o'clock in
the afternoon. at Jet tie's Hall. This was an extraordi
nary gathering. reminding those who attended It of the
overflowing meetings which daily assembled in that edi
flee in the spring of mg. The house was literally crowd
ed in everylpert, including the galleries, and hundreds
were compelled to remain standing throughout the en
tire service.. The chair on this occasion was occupted
by Rev. rr. Vaughn of the Episcopal Church, who read
several passages of Scripture peculiarly appropriate to
the special object of the meeting, after which the devo
tional part of the exercises were opened with a fervent
ewer by the Rev. Mr. Jenkins, of the Presbyterian
Church. The prayer was fittingly concluded with the
matchless form of Christian supplication FlBBB 1.1. hie
disciples by our Lord himself, in which the hundreds of
ministers of different names who were on the platform
united audibly.
A emit addreu was next made by the chairman. who
was one of the moat aged clergymen present, in which
was breathed a broad, liberal union spirit. and to many
of the stirring truths which fell from the venerable
man's lips the hearty assent of those who heard them
was manifeeted by a dietinct "Amen!" He wee of
the opinion, however, that the time for wiping away ere
oleturoitioal distinctions had not yet come, though he
wished it to be understood that in hts judgment es ery
one wr o was a " new creature in Christ Jesus" was a
member of Ilia Church, whatever might be his name.
After another hymn the meeting was addressed by the
Rev. John Chambers. To his mind. this Wall a day of
days. After whet they had witnessed there. and In the
fonrer port of the day, it seemed to him that the Maa
ter'a prediction respecting. the oneness of His Church
was about being fulfilled. It was something tangible for
the world to look upon no a practical remit of Chneti
allitY. "]e ministers of the ascended One," said hy.
" this is a spectacle to fill Heaven with shouts ajar r"
We net er heard this eloquent divine more earnest and
impressive than in the few moments he occupied on this
occasion. Ile wan followed by the Rev. Mr. Loun.-
bury of the Episcopal Church. This gentleman took
ground that the scene they were then witneseing was
not properly a subject of exultation. Christianity in the
heart was a work of the Holy Shout. and whoever pos
sessed it, not only loved Christ, but Christ's principles,
and, consequen , ly, he loved hie fellow-Christians. Love
and unity was, then, nothing more than a natural mem
festation of Christianity in the heart, and as such should
not elicit any feeling of exultation.
The Rev. George Duffield, of the N. S. Presbyterian
Church, followed in a very Bole= and impressive
prayer.
Rev. Dr. Nem, of the 0. S. Presbyterian Church.
next followed with a very ingenious illustration of the
practical advantages of ministers meeting together to
compare their religious views, in which they were com
pared to a company of musicians who should attempt to
lane their instruments at home, instead of together at
the place where they were to perform. In the latter
case all would be ,made to harmonize; in the former
all would be discord. So he was afraid that they, as
ministers, were too much in the habit of tuning their
ecclesiastical instruments in their studies alone, in
stead of mingling with each other In the Spirit of bro
therly- love. Ile made a capttsl speech.
Prayer was next offered by the Rev. James Pratt, of
the Episcopal Church.
The next speaker was a New York merchant, whose
name we did not learn. Ile was deeply in earliest in
Ins eulogy of the union movement he was witnessing',
and looked forwaid with pleasure to the hour when he
could state to Its brethren m the Fulton-street meeting,
New York, and at the Cooper Institute, what he had
here neon and felt.
A 11)11111 tons next sung by the conreeration, standing.
At Cm request of the chairman, the Rev. Dr. Thomas
11. Stockton, of the Church of the New Testament, rose
and iiffhred n prayer, characteristically eloquent, in
special behalf of the objects for which the great Alia
sionnry Board is to assemble :n our city to-day.
The Rev. Dr. Cooper, mire of the Episcopal Church.
neat made a very earnest appeal to the mass of people
before Idni. Unlese. said he, those exercises were found
to have a proper effect on the hearts of all present, the
object of them would be but poorly eubserved. He was
of the opinion that we did not want any more thorough
Privily( teriamin, or more intensified Episcopacy, or
more Methodism: no, lint more of the spirit of Christ,
and this he hoped would he made the prayer of all.
It was here announced by Rev. 3lr. Jenkins that a
Union Missionary Copcert of Prayer would be held the
Sarno evening, at the church on Washington Square.
The Rev. Dr. Brain rd, N. P. Presbyterian, wished to
record an opinion before separating.. He regarded this
whole movement as providential. and expressed several
forcible view, with regard to making the efforts more
practical.
In ninny respects this great union nicotine was, per-
II fps, unprecedented in the annals of church history - . A
feature which we could not but remark wail the large
proportion of clerzymen of tho Episcopal Church, who
entered with all their heart into this union spirit for a
closer bond between ministers of tho Gospel, of all
even :ellen I denominations.
The eon:too:1ton was il.sninisett with a benediction
br the Ret•. Dr. Neill. 0. E. Presbyterian, formerly pre
sident of Dickinson Collego.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
WILLI& CELEBRITSD STUMP EXTRACTOR.
Farmers, pull out your stumps. Better so than to enitii
vitae round them. Willis' ratan! stump Extractor wilt
do it at email expense. This tnnehine has been exhibi
ted at scores of Arrieultural Fatty; has given entire
iitisfnetton in every ease: has di st anced its rivals in
all cases but one, and would have done so then bat for a
pair of horses unused to the work and untrue. It is the
13 niverenl favorite of practical men. A firmer in Mu,
siehusetti, who has pulled more stamps than other
man, end bee tried other machines. to his entire satis
fy:lion. ears :
" As to the merits of the machine. it has no equal; it
to power, struphca) • ur ease of work. no parallel ban
ever beau produced. As to its demerits, no fault van be
found. U. H. TRASK."
At an exhib:tion of its astonishing powers fa R00t . ..5 -tove,
tove, N. J.. the Jersey Farmers present directed the
attention of Mr. Willis to a huge green stump. fire feet
is diameter, which seemed about as immovable as the
cock of Gibraltar. The spectators tboutht the stump
would be the master of Mr. Willis; but that gentlewan
knew perfectly well the power of his combination of
levers. and has:lna fixed his shears and adjusted his
chains, the word was given for the two horses to go;
and in less time than it has taken to describe it. the
...strum stump. with scores (+icon loads of clay chug
mg to its ro was hauled out and laid upon. the sur
face of the esrth.
The following is but one in a hundred of testimonials
fro. eminently practical men that tight he here ad
duced:
" Yoga, PA., May Xi, 18.43.
" I witnessed two trials of Willis' Patent Stump Ex
tractor in this vicinity. mode in the presetioe of many
intelligent farmers and others. Several large stamps
were Lifted. and a tree, ever three feet in diameter,
pulled out by the roots with great ease. Some of the
operations were timed by gentlemen present, end
stumps from two to fa, feet an diameter were raised in
two and a half to six minutea.varying in time according
to their size and age. In one instance. a green stump.
which, (rein its dimensions, seemed in the minds of
many spectator to challenge the power of the instru
ment, was lifted entirely out of its place and turned orer
on tho surface of tho ground in six minutes. A very
general expression of satisfaction followed there opera
tions. The machine certainly has great power, is sim
ple in its construction, and is worked with facility. That
it is adaptable to other purposes than stamp pulling is
obvious, but, to the farmer alone. for clearing his land
of trees, stumps and rocks. I think it invalnable, and tee
secure the use of it I joined a friend in the purchase of
the machine with the patent right for this county.
