Dickens' new work, is Great Expectations,"
With original illustrations, try John McLiman,
of Now York, will be published this week, by
Peterson & Brothers, to match their various
editions of " Boz." It is a remarkable story,
full of exciting and unexpected situations.
The August number of Peterson' Ladies'
Magazine, which is always superior to its im
mediate rivals in literature, is equally strong,
this month, in fashion and other illustration&
We have, from Lippincott & Co., a new
novel, republished by Burnham, of Boston,
entitled ig The Silent Woman," by the author
of (( King's Cope," &c. This shows such a
knowledge of the feminine heart that it must
have been written by a woman. It exhibits
the daily life of noble and wealthy families in
English society, very cleverly sketched, with
capital dialogue. The men, women, and chil
dren, in this tale, act and speak like natural
beings. Only one drawback have we noticed,
namely, making Lena express a fondness for
that verbose and circumlocutory book, Tnp
per's (‘ Proverbial Philosophy." A young
pidy, with heir education and mind never could
read such a book with patience, far less with
liking. "The Silent woman" really is one of
the beat English novels of this year.
Commander James 11. Ward, author of
"Naval Tactics," and 'c Steam for the Mil
lion," has brought out anew edition, revised
and enlarged, of his (6 Elementary Instruction
in Naval Ordnance and Gunnery." It is pub
lished by Van Nestrand, Now York, and is
sold by Lippincott & Co., in this city. Thi s
is the work of a practical man, who knows a
groat deal about gunnery—the facts and the
science thereof—and, literally pours ant the
fulness of that knowledge. It conveys a
large amount of information about the con
struction and use of cannon, and the con
cluding chapter, on mail-clad ships, is of es
pecial interest at present.
The first number of the tenth volume of
" The Pennsylvania School-Journal," pub
lished by W. B. Wiley, Lancaster, has reached
us. We notice a very sensible article here,
strongly arguing in favor of physical training,
which - is too little attended to in our schools,
public and private.
Mr. R. J. do Cordova, who is equallY popu
lar as lecturer and poet, has bed his amusing
rhymed narrative of "The Prince's Visit,"
printed as a handsome octavo volume, on
tinted paper, with great luxury of beautiful
illustrations by Stephens, Rosenberg, and J.
D. Smillie. The publishers are Rudd &
Carleton, New York. The poem, originally
recited; we believe, in place of a lecture, is
rather humorous than witty, and we cannot
exactly see the propriety of making the Duke
of Newpaatio speak a great deal of slang:
Neither is there much wit in calling this city
.Philainadelphia ; nor in making Mayor Henry,
who - is. a good speaker, blander through his
Welcoming address to the Prince; nor in ri
diculirieChestnut street for not being as wide
as Broadway ; nor in speaking of there being'
a procession and ball here, in honor' of ihe
Prince, when there was neither, the Royal
Progress being limited to a run down to Point ,
Breeze, Park, (where the Mayor and Mr.
Theodore Cuyler specially patronized horse
racing, on that occasion,) and an evening at
the Academy of Music. :Madthe wit known
that Mr. Strakosh, the manager, went away,
next morning, with the receipts of tide gala
night—on the amiable plea that little Patti
must be paid, even though all the rest of the
company should get nothing—he might have
written saucily about it. We have smiled
ovec parta of it. The .Princcert*iatti!!..brit it is
rather too long fora feu d'esprit.
The July number of the Art Journal, (W.
B. Bieber, 30110i:71%1rd - strcet,) - is annsauilly,
attractive in its "letter-press. The critiques
upon the Exhibitions of the R oyal Academy,
British Institution, German Academy of Art,
and old Water Color Paintings are excellent,
because reliable, and sufficiently analyze the
character of the works of art they notice. In
: Partl3 ki!!. , The Madsen," written' and Dins

account OfAlte death of Major Andre, and a

WASHINGTON, July 22; 1861.
There has never been such an excitement at
our national capital as there has existed with
in the last twenty-four howls since the British.
army • occupied it daring the war of 1812-16.
The wildeat and moat exaggerated rumors have
pervadedthe city as to reverses and the flight
of our soldiers from Ball's Run. There are
as many different versions of yesterday's
movements as there are straggling visitors or
wounded volunteers returning from across the
river. It is unfortunate that so large a dis.
cretion has been exercised in giving out passes
to non-corabatants, permitting them to enter
thelines, for they are'unable to comprehend
the , strategic movements of the commanding
generals ; and every time a regiment retires
to secure a more favorable position, or to
escape a - galling fire from our adversaries,
the change is magnified into a total rout.
Were half the canards in circulation here-to
day to be believed, our grand army is
composed of arrant cowards, who will run
before the first volley, to escapethe very mei
of gunpowder. We know, on the contrary,
tat General McDowell's command is com
'
, Poied of the ,very flower of our Northern
troops, and that they will die in the last ditch
before they will submit to inglorious retreat.
The public mind is necessarily agitated most
hitensely;bntthere is no reason to apprehend
disaster of any permanent effect. It should
be - remembered that Beanregard,• Lee, and
other Confederate leaders, are excellent engi
neer officers, and have had time leisurely to
fortify' Manassas ; Junction and its approaches
by Ball Ran and Centreville with all the aid of
modern science, and that the heavy guns
seized •at Norfolk give them opportunities to
erect formidable batteries. Our reconnoissances
are necessarily imperfect ; the grand plan form
ed by General Scott is not matured, and if be
has been influenced by popular clamor in favor
of a forward movement before he was ready
at all points, the blood of our comrades spilled
yesterday will be upon the heads of political
brawlers' wbe, have most impudently inter
fered with -the military movements planned
with such consummate skill andjudgment.
I do not attempt to distinguish between the
false and true of the many reports flying
around the city, but I must invoke the pa
tience of the American people and ask of
them to lean, with perfect confidence, upon
our great captain, who has fought our national
battles for nearly half a century and never
gave way a single foot before a foe, or planned
a campaign which was not perfectly success
fill. In our midst here, there are still many
traitors at heart, who, with smiling laces; ex
aggerate the : falsehoo ds of the hoar, and strive
;to weaken the loyalty of the lukewarm and the
•doubting. They may be seen in knots
• !grouped at the corners, distorting the rumors
•brought into the city from varlotts . sonrces,
and almost wild with joy over the losses of
which their wishes and their hopes are the
parents. It we could believe them; all our
army is in fall retreat from Fairfax upon Ar.
Boston Heights'; • all our artillery has been
captured, and the forces which have been
crossing the river, in such gallant array for
weeks past, are now a • disordered, scattered;
and panic stricken rabble. Who believes
this ? I do not want to leave the desk, at
which I ara , writing r to assure myself of their
falsity, for I have too much confidence in the
bravery of our troops and the skill of their
leaders to be led astray by the lying reports
of thousand-tongued rumor.
We have to mourn the loss of our fellow
citizen Colonel • Jamee Canieron, of • the
New:York Seviintyninth Scotch . Regiment',
Colonel Slocum, of the fine Second Rhode
Island, - and Lientenaut Colonel Nugent, of the
New York Sixty-ninth, but this will only
stimulate . .their ,commands to greater exer
tions in the thtnre. Some five or six regi
ments of volunteers and detachments of
regulars have been sent over to support
the main coluMn, and as tar as I have
been able to learn, McDowell's reserve, a
formidable foice, bas.not yet been under tire,
though ordered up to Centreville. From this
point the next grand attack will doubtless be
made', and with such imposing demonstrations
that the advance will be irresistible, though
the contat must be fierce and sanguinary.
We must not underestimate the skill, the
'numbers, or the bravery of our misguided
brethren, who'have resorted to the horrid al
ternative of bringing civil war almost to the
very walls
,of our Federal Capitol. Their
leaders are ozperienced as topographical-en
gineers; but have not had much experience as
field elficers;ind their Peculiar knowledge has
been available for them in the fortification of
Manassas:, So strong - are the works there that
it may become necessary for our troops to fall
back upon . Arlington Deighta, until arrange-
merits can be made to go forward with every
requisite to• insure 'success. Should this be
dimei - we tritat to God that Gen. Scott will not
again suerender his judgment to popular
darner, luid . i tbat the New York papers, which
profess to ebteetain such confidence in him, I
will not timbarrasa his plans by their inflam
matory appeals fora forward movement upon
Richmond. .;Thoifoyho counsel We course do
not - seem tobe aware, of the fhet that every
g t
commandin .ominence from Dianaasas to Rich
mond is brist g with rifled cannon and masked
with death- sling batteries, to .assail which
would cost tll'orisands of lives, while every day
of priident e4tfori, on eel' part, weakens our
enemy, and Prepares them for their inevitable
fate of defeat; I regird any' iriteilerepco with
the 'plans ofn: f ; either by unsolicited
'advice, sup sone comment, or pressing en
treaties for Bard movement, to be but little
short of treason. , Let; him make all needful
preparations-10 crash this giant rebellion, and
take his - own Ohne before he enmeshes
the traitors trill% Wile.. We have, as a people,
been so far.ronioved from actual scenes of
war, and are eo,,imaccustamed to be surround
ed by menacin g dangert, that panic ia 'too apt
to unseat retUtpn, and we,do not allow our
selves to give -the proper credit to the skill of
those who are managing the war for us. Let
us be ctilm,liolf-rellant,-and confident in the
justice of Onetime. "There may be reverses
—they are the to of war—but who that has
seen the pprigig of popular sentiment, "which
has been trnafully compared to the zeal of
the Crusaddrf, , lwhen preached by Peter the
d
- Hermit, can doubt the final result'? Ihelleve
as firmly in the ultimate defeat of the rebels
as I do in the rising of to,morrow's ann. They
have invoked a dreadful retribution, and they
must feel thOdfill horrors of.ita repayment.

WASHINGTON AS'IT Bili.ND AS. IT
'OUGHT TO BE:
iCorrasseadaasior The Preas.l
• 0:WAS171110TON, July 22, 18G1.
In its -sanitary regulations, Washington is
one of the totatt neglected cities in the Union.
•Could we obtain the vision,
" To seshantseives as others see us,"
Shame, if nothing else, would. prompt us, in
our, corporate capacity, to introduce those
sanitary regulations which the health of the
community demands. But, like the farmer
who, when urged to send his sons to school,
replied - that' c,cthey had as much farnin' AS
ever did- - them any good," we complacently
move along under the delusion that improve
ment is - isnovation and any attempt to intro- -
throe sanitary regulations would be an unne
cessary expenditure of corporation funds. •
To those at all acquainted with the city, it
is not en:105181ns that we were visited by
a• ct Natioual Hotel" fever. The matter- of
surprisidic•rather that - the disease is not pro
duced, ore that- it does not prevail generally
over, the city. Our system of sewerage is de
feptiVe int the extreme, and at that it is con
-fined to a :section of the city. The Waste
water from. nearly every honse, in place - of
being conveyed underground to the main
sewer; is permitted to ran over the sidewalk
'to the street, and, increasing in quantity, as it
passes along from house to house, a filthy
rivulet is - formed in•• the gutter, above ground,
on . the aide of the street, which moves slug
-
reship onward, seeking its level, until it finally
reaches a subterranean.passage, after passing
over several of those rr magnificent distances"
for'whichthis city is noted. In...consequence
of this imperfect system of sewerage, the city
is, in hot,,Feather, filled-with a nuisance that
tends dir ectly to the increase of bowel com
plaints.; 'Very recently the,tinbject of sewer
age bruseen under consideration in the City
.Councilqut kuliging-fram~.llo,Ao one,
is so tot ish" as to believe that any adequate
improfeAient will be made.
• :In ceiTneetion with this, I am compelled to
tuentaair fact_that _d rt carts are ern'
plOyed by Abe city to remove regularly; once
or twice a - week, the accumulations -of waste
materials in kitchens. These in other cities
Sari made a source of pecuniary income to the
Corporation ; here, our city fathers seem
neither to know their Value, nor to consider
the claims of health which demand their re
moral. Each family is obliged to have' all
-icitphen accumulations removed at its own ex
pense, or go through a tedious circumlocu
tion-of an application to the Commissioners
of Health, to have it done. The result is, of
course, neglect on the part of many families,
and another source of impure air, and conse
quent disease, is permitted, through the bad
management of our city authorities, to go
unnoticed. •
Another source of uncleanliness is the im
mense quantities of dust that are permitted to
accumulate on the streets. There is not a
single street-watering machine in use in tbe
city.. The main avenue, the great thorough
fare, is rarely swept, except by the wind, and
never watered, except by showers from the
clouds. Whether this is from motives of
• economy, or through municipal indolence, or
ignorance, I will not say; bat as a conse
quence, we have to suffer the intolerable
nuisance of clouds of dust whenever we are
favored with the otherwise welcome breezes
of midsummer.
Pigs and cows roam at pleasure over the
city, and the .writer was one of a party on
whose sympathies a large dralt was made yes
terday, in consequence of this unpardonable
neglect of the city authorities. A lady, the wife
of a Weitern Senator, was passing from WII
. lard's, up Fourteenth street, when, to
avoid the horns of a cow, which claimed a
right to the side-walk, she stepped aside. In
so doing, her dress encountered a great sow,
that had just risen from wallowing in the
gutter, - and, with a sonorous grunt, re
proached the lady for innocently concealing a
dlityprogeny that bad inn scampering under
her crinoline ! At the moment of this writing,
in my office on the Avenue, the intolerable
nuisance of a pig squealing, tinder evident ar-.
reit, greets my ear, coming froni the vicinity
of Centre market, which is occupied regularly
three days in,the week by Market men, and as
regularly daring the other four days of the
week by hogs 1 It is possible that they are
employed'by our city fathers as street scaven
gers, and perhaps we ought to be , thankful
for the it collective wisdom" under which we
are thus provided with so convenient an ar
rangement to get rid of the Market offal, and
thus 'escape from the visitation of a pesti
lOnce. •
- -
Washington under a due exercise of taste,
might be Ana& one of the healthiest, hand
somest, and *mat• delightful- cities in the
Union. With its broad and beautieally.shaded
avenues, its wide streets, creasing at right
angles; its parks, marble palaces,monnments,
and statnesrit requires only a little outlay, of ,
capital, under the guidance of correct taste
and a skilful band, to render it all that the
most refined mind could desire. As it is now,
however, in the language of hundreds of our
soldiers, who, by the way, are quick ob
servers, it is but a one-horse town, and only
half finished at that." • PENN.

EDITOR or TEE Pains : Thinking a few
lines from an amateur correspondent might
interest yourself and readers, I take advantage
of a lull in our operations to give a sketch of
our.present position. and some details of 'our
march from Martinsburg to thiii point.
We left the last-named "town on Monday
'morning list, shortly after sunrise,, and' tra
velled at a rather quick pace until within a
mile of Banker Bill, when our advance e,ime
in sight of a squad of the rebel Cavalry,who,
thinking - there was nothing but infantry to
face, rather impudently - -tantalized us with a
view of their backs, as they rode leisurely .
away. But they reckoned without their host.
The Rhode Island battery had been . hidden
from their view, but at a word from General
Cladvralader ono of the guns was placed in po
sition, and at the next instant a series of
"dissolving views P were exhibited, and the
chivalry of the cc Ancient Dominion "—the
First, Second, and Third Families—were try
ing.their blooded stock in a breakneck race
toward . Winchester. In the meantime; 'our
cavalry bad Passed • down a side road, and as
the rebels scattered they fell upon theft - , and
killed'one and:captured two, a captain and a
lieutenant.
We encamped at Bunker Bill until Wed
nesday. morning, when we started,. as we
thought, for Winchester, all elated for a fight,
but somewhat anzions.as to the Individual ref.
suit; but the direction of the road soon sitlai
fiedos that we were not on the direct . road at
leaat, and that if we reached Winchester It
must be by turning the enemy's flank; All
doubt was put at rest when we reached a
small town called indhscrimiustely Smithfield,
bled Way, Midway, and Middlevray, and found
that our course was now directly to the east.
•We reached our present location about two,
o'clock P. M. and the town was soon sur
rounded by the camps of the is infernal Yan
kees " Its we are pleasantly denominated by
our friends the Charleitowners.
This town; the seat of justice of Jefferson'
county, Virginia, was the scene of 'the trial
and execution of 'John Brown of Harper's
Ferry notoriety; and'everything here fs dated
to and from that memorable era. Mrs. Smith
was married three years before John Brown;
and her second child was born six months
after .lohn Brown, and so.forth, Is the style in
which family records are kept; in this then
badly•scared town. Our boys tamed to feel
an unusual interest in tbe fate of this refs
guided but brave old man , and innumerable
are the mementoes obtained and to be taken
home as precious relics of their visit to the
scone of his execution. I have ascertained
that there were eleven kinds of wood used in
making the, galloiitt;en which he was hung;
that the rope esed l cvas made of five different
materials ; that ketWrote on eight tables at
once ; that he usWieventeen brass candle
.sticks while writtugl?that he occupied nine
cells in the prison`Kand that he made his last,
dying speech undeit ex different trees, in
seven different fields. At least, all there
things are vouched 'for by scores of living
witnesses, some of .Whom were in Canada at
the time, and some In New Orleans. .
The place is stroiglf Secesh, thus famishing
a contrast to. Mirtiiisbarg; where the Dillon
feeling was in the iseeridant, and where
lily was as common as impudence andnnman
ly.cowarelice are here: - t-Ths..romen are 'the
moat outspoken in theMidnithrebie, in:this
town as elsewhere, and they rely on the known
Northern deference to4lieli sex for
against any affront in return; Hero, also, u
elsewhere, the occupation of the. town , has
been an unmitigated blessing to the shop
keepers, whose stocks of goods, whether eat.
able,,drinkable, smokeable, or wearable, hive
melted like snow under the glittering rays of
Yankee gold andAlver.

twelve days, or subsequent to the extended

Shaker Village.
feerreeporadenoe of The From)
CANTERBURY, N. EL, July;l9.
I wonder, Mr. Editor, if you or any of your
readers have over had occasion to visit this
charming place. But whether you have or,
have not, I feel inclined to give you a brief .
'description of the mysterious triternity called
Shakers.
Being a valetudinarian, I deemed it expe
dient to take a tour through the Granite State
as far as the White Mountains. I started from
Concord about a week ago, and proceeded
twelve mites in a northerly direction, and., just
at sundown found myself in this place. I had
beard a great deal about the Shakers, and.the
thought struck me that I would slay : here
until morning. After standing in the office
door for the space of an hour or so, devouring
everything I could in the way of Observation
_ retired to rest, in .the neatest rincarpeted
room, in which was the neatest unostentatious
little bed man ever reclined upon. At once I
made up my mind to "stay a week."
About half past five o'clock the next morn
ing the clear-sounding bell of the society was
rung, and its tones seemed to demand a
vernal rising. I immediately jumped from my
tidy couch and stepped to the window to con
jecture as to the state of the weather. In less
than fifteen minutes I saw men and boys, of
all ages, proceeding in all directions. I deter
mined to be in unison with my hospitable
friends, and dressed myself with the utmost
alacrity. About an hour and a half from the
"first bell ' the Cc second bell " rung, which
meant for breakfast for the brethren and sisters.
Simultaneously with its ringing, a small bell
anticiitnaut in- conjunction with the savory
smell of steaks and cutlets, the fact that my
morning meal was in readiness, and which, I
can assure you, I repaired to eagerly. Thus
passed - the -evening and morning. or my first
day. It would be really uninteresting for me,
to minutely describe to you everything I saw
and learned. My organ of inquisitiveness be
ing quite large, and deairons of ascertaining
something substantial about this strange peo
ple, I represented myself As a newspaper cor
respondent, and solicited information as to their
religions views, and made myself well acquaint
ed, by observation, with their temporal affairs.
The paramount study of their lite is the ab
solute crucifixion of all sensual desires and
fleshly inclinations. Marriage, with all lts
antecedent pleasdreable episodes, and . all its
subsequent ecstasies, is looked upon as a sub
terfuge--a cloak,,to cover the animal procli
vities and degradation consequent thereto.
Some people question the chastity of the Sha
kers, and argue that it is against tho workinge
of human nature ; that it is an impossibility
for young men and women to work and wor
ship together and faithfully take up their cross
against the flesh. Bail have two argnments
to prove the purity of those children of God.
The first la, it is their religion to annihilate
all lascivious emotions and desires. Let any
mode of religion take possession of a soul,
does any sane man question the crosses and
deprivations, however large and abundant,
that said soul is not willing to submit to 1 Let
us read the history of the Jews Ake history of
Christ and his disciples, the histories of holy
wars, the histories of ancient and modern in
quisitiens,the chronicles of and commentaries
upon: the multiplicity of heartrending and
horrible persecutions the followers of -the Re
deemer have suffered at the hands of Christ
ians; and then question the sincerity of Alga
People, when they are assured by Divine in.
spirs.tion that, by conforming to the precepts
of our Saviour, who toek up the cross against
the world, the flesh, and the devil, their eter
nity is to be an everlasting Paradise. In- the
second place, although net 'strictly watched,
the buildings are so situated, the avocations
of, all are of such a:nature, and the laws and
orders are so constructed and carried into exc.
cation, that a private meeting between a young
man and young woman is an utter impossibili
ty. This subject is such a rich one, I could
easily write a volume. Not having that op=
portunity, however, I will confine myself to a
great degree of brevity.
Their worship, as great many know, is an
indiscriminate amount of dancing and singing.
On• Sabbath they attend three Meetings; one
at nine A. M., one at two P. M., and at seven
in the evening. There are also meetings
every night. The meeting of the week is
upon Saturday night. No children attend:on
this occasion. On all occasions, fifteen minutes
after the evening exercise/ must find every one
in bed. In the 4 ( great house," as it is called,
everybody in the•latally, except the ehildren,
sleep. In going to their respective rooms,
the brethren and sisters touch,in passing each
other. In each room is two beds, end - two .
*sleep in a bed. In each room is a very old
Man or old woman. They sleep with one eye
open. There are two male and two female
elders. Should one of the young men be
faiind et not in" when the old superintendent
blows out the light, he re forte to the elder the
next morning. If a "she" is alao missing, a
report is made to the female elder '
and the
erring couple have to give an account of them
' selves before breakfast next morning. Thus,
you see, the fallacy of bestowing a doubt of
virtue upon these people.
The society here contains three families—
the Church family, Second family, and North
family. The Church family contains about
one hundred and fifty people, and the other
'two families about eighty apiece. All aro
governed Thy a set of ministry, who preside,
'also; over the destinies of the people of
,En
&id, about forty raihiis north of Canterbury:4
I have absorbed'all 'my time; at present, in
writing about the religious views of this 'ex
traordinary people. In my next letter I shall
endeavor to poet you up as to their temporal
matters.

whOm there Is at once so mach and so Intl, known.
Almast every one has , hoard and can retate:some•

everybody--and yet no one seems o.p:omen any
emu/ blographioal,data oomierning him, beyond
the mere faota that he,.was born in-Ireland, (when
and where, rumor saya,tpre only known to himeelf
and his God a that ho came , to this country many

will make something less than a hundred efforts
to under his chin before be is through preach
lig' whether be oniceedo or not will depend upon
'the. amount of enthusiasm with which he happens
to, be charged. You have probably heard some
thing of Mr. Barns' wig ; if you have, one glance
at the little man in black, with a large head and
white cravat, will remove all doubt so to his iden
titi. This artificial hiroute appendage, contrast-
log:oddly with iiis perfectly bloodless face, is a
ponderous affair, and, but for its freedom from
powder and its raven_blsokness, carries you bask
to the onstoms and times of onr transatlantic aces+

Ores It a awing, rubs his.glassee,s,puts It.bank

Tobin but William Baros himself.
The hymns and prayer concluded, be announces
his text, (sixteenth chapter of John, twenty-eighth'
verse,) and without oironusloontion or notes enters
upon its discussion. Whatever may be said of Mi.
Barns' peculiarities In other respects, his sermon .;
'on 'this 'occasion, was 'marked with — strin•'e , thstr i t
ordinary ability, nor had it any more than an ave
rage share of pulpit improprieties; albeit, this
discourse may have been unusually fortunate in
-this respect; from thelact that he. does sometimes
do and say some very odd things In the pulpit.:
lie has an extraordinary memory; and, son
sidering that he does not write his sermons, quotes
authors, sacred and profane,: with profusion and
correctness, although he evinces a profound con
tempt for ohronologioal aoouraoy. This is probably
constitutional. After he has, spoken some minutes
his tongue enters its double-quick movement, when
he overleaps all rhetorloal rules, disregards the
decent capacity of ordinary human lungs, and
pours. forth such a verbal torrent as to set note
taking at utter defiance. I should as soon think of
reporting verbartm a whirlwind or a thunder
storm. Hs introduces longer and more frequent
quotations from Scripture in his sermons than any
other preacher /ever heard. A Psalm, a ohepter
trcm Revelations,•oopions extracts from the Pen
tateuch, the prophecies, and the Gospels, follow
each other in quick snooessitin, with here and there
one of Watts' hymns, spoken every verde and line
lit a breath, are employed to garnish his theme, and
all apparently summoned at .the instant to meet
the case then occupying his mind.
Although strictly devoted to the denomination
in which he has long labored, Mr. Barns is not
a mere seotarian. He has, in faot, in this par
ticular, been more or less orltioised by seine of
his - less liberal, if not lean enlightened, brethren,
the latter alleging that "Billy Barna is an ec.
oleslastical nondescript, and that he takes his
turns in preaching Universalism, Calvinism, and
Methodism " The hut count in this charge pro
bably arises from - Mr. Barns having, some years
ago, delivered a Series of sermons on "Bell," at
Colombia, Pa., in which be • adiranced certain
views, if net identical with, at least not inimical
to the doctrines held by Universalist.. A gen
tlemla who hoard the Anal
. distniurse of the series,.
informs us that the speake oonoluded with these'
words, In his own peculiar dialect: .
And now, brethren, having given you all the
arguments in favor of hall, and all the argu
ments against hall, you must judge for your
satves
With regard to the charge of Calvinism., whe
.ther he swallows the " Five Points" or not, it is
quite certain that he maintains the dootririe of
eternal perseverance, as it respects htmself, let
others " fall from grace" as they may. He has
evidently the most unbounded assuranoe of his own
" eletition," and believes that " what hale, he is by
the grace of God," and that as he has walked thus
far, in the faith, he will continue " until he scales
the battlements of heaven, assumes the part sp.
:pointed for him around the eternal:throne, pre
paratory to entering upon his allotted duties
In descending the steeps of endless ages, acoording
to; the foreknowledge and purpose of him who
worketh all things after the counsel of his own
will."
Certain it is, however, that in his ardor and de.
votion to his calling as a Methodist minister, he is
not a whit behind the most zealous of his denomi
nation. Alti;r concluding the sermon already re:
feired U, on these words, " I oame forth iroin the
Father, :and . am come into the world; again, I
leave the world and go to the Father," he closed
theßook, rigorously, and gave it' a lose, adding :
"There, brititreb, I have done all that I promised
to do when I begun ;" then, stepping aside, he.
claimed it as a right "to give vent to bts feelings"
animalttv, be said At once the reatonable
propriety whieh bad marked his discourse was at
an end. Me.threw his right arm around in a fall
°hole, stamped with his feet tilt he almost shook
the house - , and shouted like a etentor,
•" M soul's full of glo ry. tnepinnging tongue.
• 1 ( 1 met an angel I 'd slag Lim • sone I"
Ho seemed as though he had been unable to ex
haust the batteries of his enthusiasm in the sermon,
and was determined. to let of the : balance in the
shoriest manner possible, to avoid nn exploSion. 1f,.,
ejioolatlous of " Glory to God ?" and "Ira/Wu:

seat,,and were responded to by the "Arena'! - Of.

those ocoapied by members of his oongregation ;
that the rent of it was two hundred and twenty
five dollars a year ; and that, consequently, the
quarter then due was fifty.six dollars and a quar
ter, which amount he expected them to contribute
then and there, at the same time calling out the
names of four brethren to pass around the baskets.
When this was dens, and the baskets were placed
Sn frOnt of the pulpit, Mr. Barns deliberately rose,
scanned. their. contents, and coolly Informed the
four brethren that the oolleotion had fallen short,
and that they must, therefore, take , up another,
which they did with a result that was entirely
satisfaetory.
At the commencement of the war, in April, some
