PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1860.
The Country Editor.
BY THB BARD OF TOWKR HALL.
A oountry Editor was seen
In Philadelphia City,
With wofnl face that moved the hearts
Of feeling men to pity.
He looked as if in party strife,
He had been badly treated
He looked a* many others look ,
Because they’ve been defeated.
The hopes of offioe all had fled*
On whioh he long had doated:
And he was not the man he was
The day before he voted.
His faoe was long; his upper lip
Was trembling ev’rr minute;
, He tried to keep listin'—alas!
There was no stiffness in it.
1 asked him why he badly felt,
And this was ms confession: ,
" I’m worried, sir, almost to death,
With fears about secession. ,
“ Old Jersey is my native State!
If Southern states secede,sir. ,
Whatwill beooma of Jersey tuen ?
I fear the worst, indeed, sir.”
“ Don’t cry,” said I ? *' I most,” said he,
” My tears I cannot dry. sir;
The thought, that sister States may part,
Should make the angels cry, sir.”
Come! go,” said I, *’ to Tower Hall,
And buy a suit of kersey,
> 'And then I’ll show you how to savo
The good, old Kate of Jersey,”
He oheaply bought a suit in whioh
To brave the storms of winter;
And paid iot'f/i</iweB. some honest m-m
Had used to pay the printer .*
M Now, then,” said I. ” go home awl be
A loyal man in Jersey ;
And pray lor Union till your knees
Stick through your pants of ker&ey.
“ The lines our Constitution draws, i
Wo’ll tos without digression :
Then ev’ry State will have its rights, i
And none will ory 1 Secession » 1
** Our lotql freemen then will keep ,
The Union vows they’ve plighted;
And Town a Ball oiothe them all.
In happy Statoß United.” 1
Other kersey suits, and every variety of suits, strong
and comfortable for winter wost. can b© purchased by
editors or others, at petfeotly satisfactory prices, at
TOWER HAUL.

Pennsylvania find the Fugitive-Slave
To the Editor of The Press : I submit' that
the Inquirer, of this oity, .errs in asserting that
Bince the repeal of the act of 1847 there has not
been any act pasaod by this,State in oonfilot with
the fugitive-slave law, or wlth;the good faith we
owe to.the South. • , f
. The ninety*fifth section of thepanal oode, passed
March 31st, IB6o,’enaots—First. That “po judge,
alderman, or justice of the peace of this State shall
take cogaizacqe of the base of any fugitive from
labor from any State or Territory, under any a*
of Congress, under tho penalty of being guilty of
a misdemeanor in offioe, and under a fine not ex
ceeding $l,OOO. Sooond. That if anyolaimant of
fugitlvo shall, under any pretence, of authority,
whatsoever, violently and tumultuously attempt
to soke and oarry away, in a riotous, tumultuous,
and unreasonable manner, so as to disturb or m •
danger the publio peace, any negro, either with or
without the intention of taking him before any
distrio t or circuit judge, he shall be fined not over
IIjOOO, and imprisoned not longer than three
months.”
Seotion 96 makes void all sales within this Stato,
of hny fugitive from servioo then in this State;
and if oily’perscn, undor color of any suoh sale,
shall seize, arrest,'or remove, or oause to 'bo re
moved from this Stato, pny syph fdgUive r< he shall
bo fined $5OO. *
Upon those provisions it may be observed—
1. That, if the laws of the United States (which are
the law of the AaiuU do themselves de
prive the officers of jurisdiction in saqhoosej,
then’there was no occasion for the State topass any'
such law; it was but an uncalled-for fling at the
South,’ and showed a desire, without the'power, to
obstruot them in the legal pursuit ef their rights.
If, on the other hand, the. Stato officers should or
might take cognizance of such cases,'then this act
manifestly prohibits the performance of that duty,
and is a declaration by this State that,‘so far as
sho has tho power, she will not suffor the owner of
any fugitive from sorvice to recover him within
her borders.
2. The provisions against the attempt to seize a
fugitive aro oithor useless, or they aro so drawn as
in effeot to prohibit the arrest and rendition of
suoh fagitivo. If the complainant himself, in the
pursuit of his slave, broke the peace; the common
law of this State hod already provided us an ample
rornedy. If he violated tho law in any way, there
Was no want of a remedy. Why, then, should a
man who in the pursuit of his legal rights, yot
oho3o to break, -the peace, bo treated otherwise
than any other peaoe-breaker? Why pass anew
and more severe punishment for a Southern man
than for a Northern man? , Why in effect any
difference between the citizen of a Southern Stato
and one of opr own citizens? It is obvious that
undor tho flimsy pretext of endangering the pub*
Ho poaoe, there would bo no safety for anyone
attempting to oapture his fugitive from service.
How could he endanger the peace? only by cap
turing bis servant, and that ho has the undoubted
Tight to do; but if others oboose to resist his exer*
oise of that right, and thus they endahgor the
peace, then he must either submit to them and
abandon his right, or else, by attempting to en
force it, subject himself to a conviction and fine »
surely this is plain violation of our duty under the
laws of the United -States, not to speak of the
oomity between the several States, and which
Pennsylvania should he tho last to disregard.
3. The prohibition of sale Booms also unnecessary,
and it is not olear that it is lawful. Suoh a fugi
tive is undoubtedly property ' T and as such, his
owner’s right to him is guarantied by the supremo
law of the land. Why then, while suoh property
exists In.this State, may not the owner dispose of
suoh property ? What practical injury has or can
happen to us by permitting suoh a sole—one which
will seldom if ever bo made, or if made,, cannot
possibly injure either the fugitive himself or any
other person ? I respectfully suggest that aIL suoh
provisions be forthwith repealed. They cannot do
us any good, and they seem as if made to embar
rass the owner of a fagitivo in his efforts to recover
his servant, although by law we are obliged to de-
Hvor such servant to him. ( J.
Disaster on the Western Waters.
DfiOFJinfG OP CArTAltt LAMB - TOTAL LoflB OF THE
' STEAMBOAT FACIFIO ASD HER OARQO. !
tFfom the Louisville Journal of Tuesday.] ' «
W© gave yesterday a portion of the sad details'
of the destruction of the steamer Pacific- by fire \
at Uniontown, and the rumor of Captain William
Lamb's death. Tho surviving officers and crew
of the ill-fated steamer arrived at this port at an
early hour yesterday, and we are placed in pos
session of the particulars cf the disaster.
The Pacific reached Usientown. the scene, of
the conflagration, about half past six o’clock' Son-,
day evening, ana was receiving eoal when the fire*
was discovered amidships, among A ‘ quabtlty of
hay, which had been placed near the boilers. In
an inoredibly short time the boat was enveloped in
flames, and the confusion which ensued among the
passengers may be imagined, but cannot be de
scribed. The orew made herculean efforts to stay
the work ot destruction, but even the attempt of
Mr. NeWball, one of the engineers, to attach the
hose to the pumps waa snsuccesaful, and the work
of deßtruotlon was •sfesden and fearful.
When Captain Lamb discovered that all efforts
to save tho boat would prove unavailing, he ad
dressed himself with ail tho energy of his nature
to aid in the eaoape of the passengers, and.hls ef
forts were gallantly seconded’ by Messrs. Frank
Smith and Robert Barclay, tho dorks and other,
members of the crow. The accounts as’to tho
numbor of lives lost are conflicting. One inform
ant expresses the fenr that at least twenty persons
wore either burned or drowned, while others think
that estimate too largo. We annex a list of those
known to have boon lost:
Captain Wm. Lamb, the commander, of Louis
riile.
Jacob Hocb, a boat hand, of Portland.
Emily, slave of Mr. Hurry, the barkeeper.
Tazewell, negro oabln boy, of Lebanon, Ky.
Two children, deok passengers, unknown, of
Portland.
Mr. Marmillon, a Frenchman.
Mr. J. W. McDonald, of Indiana.
Servant girl of A. Campbell, Jr., of Virginia.
In addition to tho nbove, throe females wero
seen to jump overboard, but one of whom gained
tho shoro. Two or throe others, whose names are
not remembered, hut who belonged to the boat’s
arow, aro missing, together with two or throe deok
"passengers.
The neroic conduot of Mrs. J. W. McDonald,
who was travelling With her husband, who was ly
ing very low at tho time with consumption, was a
subject of general admiration. _ The announcement
of tho conflagration was too much for his delicate
nerves, and the poor man swooned and died amid
tho oxotiemont. Tho wife refused to leave the
corpse of her husband to the merciless, fiery ole-i
ment, but stood bravoly by his death-bed until tho’
flames lickod tho panols of the state-roem in which
tho oorpse lay. In vain Bho offered almost fabu
lous sums of reward to imy one who would convoy
tho body to tho shore; and in sheer desporationi
sho caught up tho lifeless form and bore it to the:
guards of the boat. .It fell from her grasp, how
ever, and was destroyed, it is presumed, with,the
boat. Mrs. McDonald remained in Uniontown!
after the disaster, in the hope of gathering up the
ashes of her deceased husband.
The forward' part of tho boat was first enveloped
in flames, and. as Capt. Lamb at this juncture was 1
observed on the hurrioone roof forward/it is sup- 1
posed that he passed through the ptiet-houße to the
stein of the boat, and slid down tho derriok which,
supports the yawl. Bat the yawl was gone, a party
of deckers having out it looso, and made their way
in it to the shore. As Capt. Lamb was utterly un
able to swim, hiß position now was perilous. Goff,
a negro porter, saw him in that position, and threw
him an oar, which the captain failed to catch.
The negro immediately afterward lost sight of the
oaptain, since which tune he has been given up as
lost.
The first effort of Mr. Smith, the chief clerk,
was to seize upon the books, money, and papers of
the boat and passengers entrusted to his oare. He
unlooked the safe and got possession of fifteen
hundred dollars belonging to Captain Bragdon,ona
of the owners of the boat, but his searon was ar
rested by the progress of tho flames. All the
books, papers, together with the cabin register, the
money in the dock, amounting to about five hun
dred dollars, and evon Mr. fcmith’a woaring appa
rel, were destroyed. The surviving officers and
orew lost everything, with the exception, perhaps,
of the first engineer and Mr. Underwood, one of
tho pilots.
It is said that in less than fifteen minutes after
the fire was first discovered, the boat was burned
to the water’s edge, the wreck floating down and
lodging on the island, a short distanoe below the
coal landing.
A description whioh is given of the destruction
of stook by the flames, is painful in tho extremo,
The stook burned inoluded seven hundred and fifty
sheep, and one hundred and thirty head of fat cat
tle, mules, and horses. In addition to tho live
stook, thore were ovor three hundred tons of pork,
bacon, and flour on board, and the loss, as we
stated yesterday, will sum up fully $lOO,OOO, whioh
loss is in a great weasuro covered by insurance in
solvent offices.
The steamer F H. Fairchild, Capt. Fawoett,
bound up, oamo alongside tho burning boat, and
remained there, her officers doing everything in
their power to relieve the sufferers. Capt. Faw
cett brought the officers and orew of the boat to
this oity free of oharge.
Every reasonable effort Trill be made to rooovor
tho body of Captain Lamb. Tho Captains’ and
Pilots’ Associations of this city, of whioh organiza
tions the deceased was a member, both held meet
ings this morning, and each appropriated $lOO to
defray the expense of the soareh. A committee
was appointed by tho Captains’ Association, con
sisting of Captains bherley, Bragdon, and Hamil
ton, to conduot tho search, and a similar committee
was appointed by the Pilots’ Association. Capt.
Shorley left for Uniontown yestorday to inaugu
rate the search for tho body, and a metallic coffin
was sent forward by Capt. T. M. Erwin to reoeive
the remains.
It is creditable to tho owners of the boat that
they proposed to offer $5OO for the recovery of the
body, but tho associations to whioh Captain Lamb
belonged insisted upon defraying the expense.
The Atlantic , whioh arrived last evening
brought no farther Interesting tidings from the
wreok. We are informed that Alex.. Campbell,
Jr., of Virginia, and his party, including his wife
four ohildren. and sister, were passengers by the
steamer, having escaped from the burning wreok
of the Faajic without injury. Mr. Campbell is
the son of Elder Alexander Campbell, of Bethany,
Va. The-Ufeof a valuable negro girl, belonging
to Mr. was lost by, the disaster.
TWO CENTS.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE,
Anniversary of the Noon»Day l*rayer
Meeting.
The third anniversary of the Noon-day Business
Mon*s Union Prayer hfeeting Was duly observed at
“J Sansom-atroet' Baptist Ohuroh, Sansom street,
below Ninth, yesterday, atl2o > clook. The chair on
this oooasion was, by appointment, oeonpied by the
Rev. Albert Barnes, D. D., who at the appointed*
hour engaged in prayer, and gave out the hymtf
commencing,
“ Come, we who love the Lord,
And let our joys be known.”
After singing, by request of the chairman the
Rev. John Chambers le£ the congregation in prayer,
following whioh a portion of Scripture was read by
Dr. Barnes, and commented upon in connection
with the history of this meeting. It was three
years to-day, he said, sinoe the beginning of these
meetings The growth of them bad been as re
marfeable as-their continuance ever since had been
marvellous, kept up, as they had been, during.all
this interval, and at all seasons. There, were some
present, ho believed, who had, scarcely missed a
mooting sinoe their commencement, and, although
be himself had boei* prevented from attending
- thorn yet it was to him a source of great
gratification to* think that thete meetings had been
bo faithfully keps up by .“others, as a place where
Christians could mdet in unitm upon the funda
montal principles upon which they are agreed, and,'
for-the time being, forget the things in whidb-ihey .
honestiy diffir'.’’ s . ■ j .
congregation again ahited; in sitiging. a
hymn, after which the meeting.waaljncown- open
for prayer and ,exhortatipn, ( the tbreo-minnte ruie
being strictly observed.
In tiro course of remarks subsequently made, by
minister’s principally, it was said by one that in
tho year m 5/ Ih' tfae city of New York, amove- I
ment had been started amCng Christians of every ]
name, for the purpose of holding a' Union Preyer
meeting on the first Tuesday in January, to be oon.
tinued at intervals of three months; a historical
fact not generally known.
George H. Stuart,-Erq , paid a handsome tri
bute to Mr. John Bliss, the young man who was
■ the original mover in these meetings- in Philadel
phia, at the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Fourth
street, below Aroh, on the 23d of November, 1857.
Mr. Stuart also read a letter,from Mr. Bliss, in
which the as an appropriate
watchword for the the following text:
“Jesus Christ—the same yesterday, to.*day, and
forever.” ‘ ; j . >
One gentleman presented the request for prayer
of a young man -now in' Moyamerising Prison un
der sentenoe of deaths , Mr. Dale, a member of
one of our loading mercantile houses, arose to
wardd the olose of the meeting,' and suggested that
there was apparently little propriety in denomina
ting these meetings business men's meetings, ; and
ho urged,'as a business man; upon, business men,
that they should more frequently avail themselves
of the spiritual benefits of attending and partici
pating In these noen-day assemblages for prayer.
At the suggestion of a brother, the time was ex
tended fifteen minutes beyond the usual hour.
There was a large attendance, and the proceedings
throughout were marked with the best possible
spirit, and gave unmistakable tokens of the con
tinuance of those meetings in the future. ’
Completion and Opining of a-nbw Pntf
thstant Episcopal Church.— Early In 1856, a
number of persons oonneoted with the Protestant
Episcopal Churoh, in the northern part oi the city,
commenced the ereotlon of the church edifice now
known as the Zion Protestant Episcopal Church,
looated at thecornerof Eighth street and Columbia
avenue. The financial orisis of ’57 interfering, the
completion of the building was temporarily ar
rested, although religious services have been held
in the basement of the church sinoe the fall of ’56,
since whioh time its pulpit has been regularly oc
cupied by the Rev. Jacob M. Douglass, as rector;
The ohuroh Is now completed, and will be formally
opened to morrow (Sunday) morning, not dedi
cated t as that ceremony, with tho Episcopalians, is
very properly never performed until the building
dodioated is free from debt. It ’ls a heat Gothic
edifice, capable of seating about rix hundred per
sons, being embellished with a-good organ, and
st&ined-gWs windows. 'The musfo In’ this ohuroh,
moreover; is proverbially good, and the congrega
tion is in a very fiouribhingbonditloh. The opening
to-morrow ‘will embrace-'the following service*:
Sermon in the morning, by Et.-Revi Bishop Pot
ter; preaohtng in the afternoon, by Ret. Dr. Howe,
rector of St. Lfike’s Churoh, in this city, and In
the evening, by Rev. Dr. Stevens, of St. Andrew’s
Church. There will also be sorvicesin this church
•very evening during tho coming week, until
Thursday, when there will he services morning
and evening.
Interesting Religious Historical Rems-
niscences.
Agreeably to announcement, the Bev. J. F.
Berg, D. B.> pastor of the Second Reformed Dutch
Church of this city, occupied the pulpit of the First
church of that denomination, Seventh and Spring
Garden streets, on last Sunday morning and even
ing. In the sermons preached, both of whioh were
founded upon the text from the eighth chapter of
Romans, u What shall we say; then to these
things?” the learned Doctor took occasion to ex
pound the doctrines of the Bible as held And main
tained by the Reformed Dutch Church. There was
a large audience in attendance, both in the morn
ing and evening. After the sermon in the evening
there was a popular desire expreseed by those pre
sent , that both- the discourses, which, to a great
extent, were extemporaneously delivered, should
bo published in pamphlet form, a request with
.which their author, wo understand, has sinoe com
plied. As all may not be familiar with the his
torical incident contained in the olosing part of the
sormon in the evoning, we subjoin it as a matter of
interest to tho general reader.
In conolusion, Dr. Berg said:
My brethren, these arc the dootxines of the Re
formed Dutoh Church, and , however briefly and
imperfectly stated, it is an honor to be allowed to
vindicate them. I avow it; why should I not ? I
believe these great truths to be the very sheet an
chor of Christian hope.' Theyhave sustained the
martyrs of Jesus in the ordeal of the fire, the stake,
and the soaffold.' Everybraneh of the Chnroh of
Christ, holding these truths, since the Reforma
tion, has been baptised into this faith by the blood
of its confessors ; and in the dark hour of hitter
shame, when they have gone faltering, with their
Saviour to Golgotha, they have been oheered with
this dcotriae of the grace of God, and have been
wafted home to their Saviour in the chariot of
Arc. I avow it, I am not ashamed of the Reformed
Dutch Church) or of her history,' and I say ft here
in tho presence of you all, that the man who can
wag his head and ataunoh oonßomtism,
knows little of tnearebtof gratitude which this
country owes to tMsJpheDutoh Church. She may
be small and despifegflat brethren, she was the
foster mother of tho gen who built upon that Ply
mouth rook tho altar,sacred to civil liberty and
-the rights of conscience. That good ship, the
Mayflower , of whioh your poets have sung, and
your orators have so eloquently declaimed, sailed
from the port of Delft, in Holland; freighted with
the Pilgrims and their wives and little ones, who,
for years had been cherished in the homes and
hearts of the members of the Dutoh Church, and
when that ship swung from her moorings and un
furled her sails, they were filled by‘the prayers of
theso humble Christians, who crowded upon the
wharves to bid the voyagers God speed and fare
well. They were Independents who oame to this
country, and as Independents our ohuroh che
rished them and gave them a home. Yes, I love
tho Dutch Chnroh, for she has always had a kind
heart and a largp one. She has it still. If any of
her ohildren prefer another worship and another
creed, and other government, (said with reference
to the contemplated secession from R of the ohnroh
in whioh he was then speaking,) if they wish to set
out on on untried sea of exploration, she will stand
upon the shore, and bid them farewell; but she
will not saorifioe her laws, she will not discard her
dcotrines, she will maintain the right, and oommit
her cause to her covenant God and Saviour. Be
loved hearers, may God. give you grace so to .trust
in Jesus, that liviDg and dying, you may triumph
In his love ! And to Him be oil the, glory of our
salvation, in all time and forever. Amen !
