[Puhtishedlhy request of the Couyreyection.^ Test —Dan. 11th chap., 31-35 t. As wa look over xfao history of Nations what ‘a singular panorama dtl we gaze upon. What a strange commingling of light and darkness; if at all times you can see light, for it would almost seem that at some eras of the world’s history the light is extinguished by the almost unireraal gloom. It would seem that chaos reigned. The picture is so strange, and at times so darkyjirid so uninviting that it is hard to believe that a God of love, light and benevo lence, would have been the Maker of it; that every shade and coloring was struck off by the hand of that Divine Artist, whose Omniscience enabled Him to know just how the whole pic ture would look when finished up. Away then with that nonsense that God has foreordained ti'iudsourr comes ‘to pass in this lower world. We admit that, ihu Divine Being has struck the outlines of the world’s history, but the filling .up has been man’s wotk. God has done the shaping of the dettiny of mankind—the lining and marking—but men, individually and col lectively, have done the lion ing for themselves. And most roughly and miserably it has boon generally done. In the first ages of the world all the government that we know much about was a Theocracy—a government in which man. received laws direct from Heaven to govern 1 him socially and politically, as well as morally. This was the infancy and ipinority of the hu man race. After the Almighty Father had. transmitted from Heaven to earth a sufficien cy-of the of- troth, justice, and righteousness; to govern-his children in all re lations in life—principles sufficient to enable them to rightly navigate the billowy seas of time, Ha commits the charge of the ship nf State—the dined 'management of civil affairs into the hands of mankind. • lie gives them life chart which marks out all the safe courses they should follow. He .also -designates the unsafe and dangerous. lie tells them plainly some of the sad consequences if they disregard his counsels and the fundamen tal principles,upon which is based’all true Na tional' prosperity. He gave mankind to un derstand that His eye would be upon human interests, hut.did not pledge himself that If wicked or unskillful pilots were allowed to take the helm and strer the ship towards the-break ers, He would immediately interpoke and re move the ungodly rulers. But he has clearly intimated that He should take cognizance of human govi rnment, and to over-rule so that the-grand designs He has concerning the race shall he accomplished. He has expressly de clared that “ The wrath of man shall praise him,” &c. &c.—which means simply that how ever much wicked men and devils shall com bine together to prevent justice and oppose the administration of' good governments, there is (to use a hackneyed phrase) such a thing as getting to the end of the rppe—a time when God will take tho matter into his own hands and over-rule their unrighteous and Heaven daring schemes for their' own destruction and the good of mankind. And the great truth is not ,only declared in Kevelation that God reigns—holds the, race of this lower world uhder bis jurisdiction ; but the same' truth stands out in hold relief in The history of Na tions. The prophetic declarations of scripture taught tho people in the by-gone ages that the Ali-wise Kuler hod his eye continually on the unfolding history of mankind, and the fulfill ment of- the, prophecies prove to us this great fact; and proves also that the arm of the Al mighty is shaping the greater events of human destiny. ' Our text for tho present occasion is a prophe cy ; anfl that too oho of the grandest and most .far-reaching in its application of any that has been recorded by the pen of inspiration. .This •prophecy was made, sqme-six hundred years before the Christian'era commenced. And although Daniel gives a clear interpretation of it, yet I presume that very little was thought 'about it at’the time, .Very little interest was’ taken in this sublime revelation which enabled: Daniel and the King to look down through the vietv of coming: ages thousands of years and: -behold- the course of coming events. 1 It is manifest thatllluf-applicatidn of the prophecy WELLSRORO, TIOGA COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING. D could not be made only so fast its the great wheel of Time should roll the events along only iso fast as the prophecy was I being fulfilled. aUdi theologians -thight indulge itt speculatidrisin regard to its fulfillment and application—hut thon- nl! must wait for the facts to prove that the speculations ariivrer to the prophecy. We know not who may hive been the first commentator who attempted air explanation of this portion of scripture, and mado an application of it to the history.of nations; but it ik quite l eVidOot that no unin spired mind'could have a very clear, rdeh of- its application until;since the great Reformation of l the Sixteenth; Century. The application of the 1 prophecy as far' aS concerned thosb king doms 4»r reigning powers represented!' by the gold, the"silver, the brass.and iron, might bo apprehended earlier,.but those ton kingdoms represented by the ten toes of the Image, and that peculiar condition of weakness set forth by the want, of cohesion of the iron with the clay could not be so fully understood until within the last half of tho last century. And what then shall, we say in regard to), the last part of, the prophecy, tho power ; represented by.the stone cut out of the mountain without hands, which isito smite 1 the feet of the Image, and finally grind to powder all the elements of these other kingdoms that they ‘'Shall be swept away” like the chaff of thp summer threshing floors. ■ I Who will rise up wise enough to tell us the application of this part of the prophecy before the grand eventi in the onward march of time shall indicate it. Who con tell ua what is to be understood 6y that kingdom which tho God of Ileavon will set up, or where it shall be first inaugurated? ; 1 _ • I suppose that it-is generally understood that learned and good men have aimed tp'tell us nil about it; have jong since professedly finished up the application of this whole prophecy, and have believed —and others have believed that they had forever settled the meaning of this portion of Holy Writ. But would it be. un reasonable to suppose on the contrary that the learned and good-men of the past, in their com mentaries on the' Holy Scriptures,‘might be a little too fast in their conclusions, ipasmuch os they could not possibly have the advantages for understanding the application of prophecy that is enjoyed in this day and age of the world. ?■ The early, commentators could hot call up before their mental vision only about one half of the earths surface. This Western Continent to them was comparatively or wboly nnkowp. And who shall say that the Republic of these United States—one of, if .not the most powerful governments tbat.baß ever existed since human governments have had a being on this globe— shall have no place in prophecy. , "J, All men who have considered the subject will be agreed as to the first part of the application. And no material difference of opinion can rea sonably he entertained as to what is meant by the ten kingdoms figured forth by the ten toes of the Image. The prophecy thus much finds its fulfillment hnmialakeably in the ten king doms into which, according to Bishop Newton, the Roman Empire was divided, which was styled the iron kingdom. And wo presnme that all unbiased minds will see that the-mix ture of the iron with the clay are’ symbolical .representations of Church and State. All the modern kingdoms of Europe have found by sad experience that this union of the secular and ecclesiastical power has been a source of trou ble, and has ever been an element of weakness. And that weakness is becoming more and more manifest .every year. Then the only (part of the prophecy upon which there may dzist any essential difference of opinion is, that with regard to the stone cut out of the mountain without haiids. Commen tators have most, generally made If apply to Christianity—Christ’s Spiritual kingdom bn' earth. And it was 1 very natural that they should, if they made any application, ns it is manifest there was no temporal power then known to history that could be intended by thc inspired writer. But it is believed they made a wrong application. Since God hiis raised'up such a mighty nation on this Western Conti nent (and who can fail to see the hand of Providence in all this) it seems more reasona ble to ’sppposeithat by that kingdom which God is to set up, -aird which is to subdue all,others a*nd fill the earth, is meant not Christ’S Spirit ual’kingdom,! but the temporal power of the great American Bepubßct ‘ that'pbwet whibh was first inaugurated by the Revolution of ’7O, and which embodies those grand principles of the Universal Brotherhood of man-i-tbe princi ples of Religious Freedom and the political en franchisement’of every member—rfefl, black or white, of the Roman family.' ; : And now let ns briefly look at some of the arguments that favor this supposition. And the first to which wo invite attention is one we have already adverted to, viz ; “that the gov ernment of these United States lAyacljiitn to its share of recognition, among the other nations of the earth’, in the prophetic books," We Say that inasmuch as the other independent politi cal powers, from the days of the Assyrian kingdom down through a period of: more than two thousand years have been so especially, no ticed ; it is reasonable to believe that a govern ment of such : an -acknowledged sway and in fluence over all the other governments of. the earth, should-receive some attention. And we believe this government has been recognized, not only in this but in many other prophetic passages of the holy Scriptures. In the second place the prophecy is one relating ; to temporal kingdoms. No one can doubt that the first four spoken of, or, represented by the Image, are such. Then is it not unreasonable, a# well ns nnsoriptural, to suppose that while th'elloly Ghost was moving the mind of Daniel to speak of what would take place in regard to temporal kingdoms, while speaking of the first four and of the ten minor kingdoms that spring from the fourth, should, in speaking of another, obahga so abruptly, and without any notice, from a temporal to a spiritual kingdom. There i 8 no intimation of any such change ; hence we conclude that this kingdom that God is to set up whenever and wherever it is tp be, is a tem poral government. Again, it is said, that Pin the days of those kings shall this government be-set up." What kings'? Why ttie 'connection shows plainly that itmeans thg feb' dagl'fhah reign over the king doms ■thatarosefrom.'then run nr .Roman king- Rot Christ wa*. born and Christianity was established;hutvdteds.uf years’before this period. Therefbr'p If‘we consider the chrbno- ( logic'al'hlhring b tih e'qu6b t fo n, it sdems quite impussible fbat thestone Kingdom should iriean Christianity; :i‘‘:Tbayltim«■Cntnnt'ofithpnioon tairiwithout-habds roqat, t° hP * n harmony with, the.-general scope of tbe.ppphecy, mean w political, power.” But where - isit the God of- Heaven will setup this power or government. The very terms of the vision excludes rt large part ‘of-lh'e l «stthv as "it; is' already occupied by the Image. But tho Westerri Continent is left, and; reading .now the prophecy in - tho light of history we conclude, very reasonably, that the stone kingdom ;is hone other than our own Re public. ' But,'furthermore, 1 it is said that this stone kingdom 5s to-'beicutsout-of ft mountain. Now by a tbnstaltntion of,Revelation we learn that the. term mountain, in prophetic .language, is used to denote a strong independent govern ment. Hence we read of the mountain of Esau and Edom. Therefore, - this stone king dom must have been cut from another tempo ral kingdom of which it was once o part. But Christianity was never, out from any temporal power whatever. Therefore, Christianity can-. not be meant by this’ stone kingdom that is to roll on until’it fills thetvhole eartji. But our Republic-was the offspring of another govern ment; nothing being more common than to call England “ Our Mother country.’' She was. the, mountain, —the independent government from which the power represented by the gov : erriment of these United' States was out out; I But’then the question may be asked, “What is the menniag of the prophetic declaration that it is ‘cut out without hands?’ ” It mean? merely that it came about by Providential ar rangement dnd not of human devisement. Whether We look back to the first discovery of this New World, to the oppression that drove our pilgrim forefathers from their father j land to seek ! a shelter from persecution and a | home on : New England’s wild and rugged i coasts, to thb war of the Revolution which sop- ( arated the Colonies from the Mother Country, or at ali the circumstances that have .consolida ted so many individual States into one General Government:that has been so remarkably pros pered for more than three-fourths of a century, the general expression of all hearts is, “ It is the Lord’s doings, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” It is true .there were many providen tial circumstances that occurred from time to - time which heralded the birth day of this na-1 lion. And all of these circumstances bad their j influence in moulding and shaping events to ! bring about the final result. The enlightening ; and soul-thrilling impulses, produced in the , public mind by the great revival of Luther’s day, the hitter spirit of intolerance that subse quently prevailed, and which drove thousands of dissenting miuisters-from their pulpits, be- . cause their consciences would not allow them ' to conform and obey the unreasonable and unrighteous requisitions of the “Established Church the persecutions that 'drove so many of those heroic covenanters to the mountains, to the dens and eaves of the earth, and which drove the sturdy Puritans to this then wilder ness world, where they might worship God in accordance with the purest dictates of con science and their more devout rendering of God's Word, these,-and many more circumstan ces foreshadowed the great event of the setting up in the order of Providence the American Republic on the virgin soil of the \evv World. Our Republican government, is then we con clude, the stone cut out of the mountain with out hands, which is to subdue all the despotic and semi-despotic governments, until it tills the whole earth. Phis is the kingdom which the God of Heaven is.do.scj up,,a .kingdom which “shall not be left toother people,”—not be left Wholly under the cnntrqf.andmanagement of j imbecile and wicked rulers, bnf.is to be under tbe special Providence and guardianship of the i God of llen 1 elrcady intimat ed that there,are olhea which evi dently refer in the government of these. United, States and which to a certain extent corroborate the application we have.now made, of.this one in thp Book of Daniel; and.,’propeoies which j herald forth the distinguished character and power the American Republic is to have among the nations of the, f .carth. We would merely refer, pow, to St. Jphft's-mr.ophecy as contained in the 12th chapter ,pf Rev. It seems easy enough for commentators to understand and apply a part of this prophecy. The “ woman clothed the moon under her feet and upon her head-g crown of twelve manifestly means the Christian Church. But wbafis intended by the. Han-child . that is_ 1 born, of the woman tlje offspring of the Christian Church, and which, .the pen of in | spiradon declares, shall “-rujp all nations with a rod of iron,” has been a diffiicult matter fur them alj to determine. And;may we not judge tbe difficulty to ar(?e from the wrong applica tion. .If in the application of this prophecy the man-child is censidered to refer to the gov ernmentof these United Slates, which is so clear ly the offspring and is built upon the principles of Christianity, we -think all the diffieu Hies will disappear. How true to history is the prophet ic declaration, that the Church, which is sym bolized by the woman fled to wilderness, when we consider how-that pilgrim,band that landed from the “Mayflower”.—left their-homes and. all they held dear of the endearing associations of childhood, and came to the wilds of America that they might be safe from the great red de mon of Persecution., Yes truly the poet sings; “E^inds,.kindred,comfort, all th»y spurned; XUftir fathers’ hallowed graves, And to a world, of darkness turned * Beyoifcfl ft world of waves* “ They come—that coming who shall tell The eye may ween, the heart may swell, But the poor tongue in vain essays • A fitting note for them to raiae." But the “ man-child” it is. declared ** was caught up unto God and his throne;” which till will agree must signify that the character (whether it were a nation or an individual)' thus symbolized was to be under the special protection of God’s Providence/ How -strikin; •* ly.-hiis this been fulfilled in our own ease na a people* ”Jin mind can* trace ;the speeiai intcr- 861 TOtrtion of a Divine hand through all tho sta ges of our existence from, the nation's birtfi day without feeling tho force arid • appropriate ness of this declaration that this * man-child was caught up unto God and his throne."' ,Thus wo see tb&t the prophecy of St. John is the counterpart of Daniel’s—the one showing, thrmpolitioabparentage and-the other the eccle siastical of this government. - And they-both together show; while tfie’ coincidences between the prophecies; and history>hre, so clear grid {nu merous, that the American Republic is what Is intended both; by the “ stone kingdom" -and the man-child,' This free Republican Govern-' ment of these United States is then the king dom that Daniel declares in his interpretation “ shall never be,destroyed,” but shall stand ns long as time shall endure. This is the power that in the Providenoo of God has alreaey smit ten the feet of the “ image and is to go an smi ting until nil the governments of man's devi sing shall be swept , away like the .chaff upon the “ summer threshing floors”' and this stone cutout of -the mountain'shall fill the-whole earth. ■ , i - Admitting now that this interpretation and application of these portions of Scripture be correct, what a field of thought opens up to our minds.' What a glorious future is in contem plation for the American People ? Yes, and fur the suffering, oppressed, millions of the old world. Surely, we have reason to lift our hearts on this day appointed by our worthy Chief Magistrate, in devout and. bumble thanksgiv ings to God, our-Maker,. Preserver and Bene factor, not only for- the mercies we have en- I joyed hitherto, but also for the sure and eglori 'ous prospects wo have for the,future. While we recount the blessings now possess and are thankful for them wa should also be thankful that these (if the principles we set , forth to-day are true) are guaranteed to our children, to posterity through all coming time. We should be, thankful and rejoice to think that the glorious principles of Freedom, for which our grpud sires fought and bled, and for which our fathers and brothers are now fight ing and bleeding are to stand forever,,are to be perpetuated to bless the whole world of man kind. Yes-we may rejoice, e%rn while offering upon our country's altar, our “ loved ones," while suffering as a,people under the chasten ing rod of tho Almighty, remembering that it is written “ whom the Lord loveth lie chas teneth,” if we realize that it is through these trials that we are to be purified and prepared to go on in that highway o( Destiny chat God has marked out for the American. People. Let ' traitors then make their bold attempts to over-, 1 throw this government, hut let them under | stand, that He who sitteth in the Heavens, ; has His hand upon the great wheel that whirls the events along, and that they and all their wicked machinations shall be crumbled to at- ! oms and scattered to the four winds. Let the semi-despotio rulers of the old world , grumble, ( growl,-and foment, but let them know that tfieir day is'coming—that their doom is certain.— The signs of the times indicate that “ we are on the eve of great events, that we are now moving close up to the world's great crisis. Like the signs that presaged the coming of Christ—like tho wonders that heralded .the downfall of Jerusalem, so the signs of these times; wars And rumors of wars, perplexity of nations and men’s hearts failing them for fear—are the, ascending- dust of the world’s gathering squadrons for tlie decisive eontiict. Debates in Congress, in Parliament and Cham bers, insurrections in tpe Ottoman Empire and Greece, the upheaval of society in Kussia, the Italian difficulties, tho discontent of Hungary and Poland, the dissensions of Germany, tho unrest of France, and Spain -and England, the ■ tramp of fonjign mercenaries in Mexico, and j the rage of civil conflict and tho boom of ' cam | non on our own shores, are Voices in tho acU-j vance, shouting on tho hosts of the whole earth j to the final battle of the great day of God Al- 1 mighty, when Despotism shall go down at last | and forever j when humanity disenthralled j shall rise to its royal destiny of a universally 1 recognized brotherhood, Messiah reign, and j earth keep, jubilee, a thousand years.” j The Women of Ifasliville. The deportment of the women—the elegant,, eloquent, and hitter beauties—is not that of six months ago. Then they wore publicly scorn-' ful, arrogant; It was not an uncommon thing fur them to insult Union soldiers in the streets. Now t Well, it may be deep policy, but it strikes me the real courtesy of those who six short months ago were brazen and defiant, is the result of rejection aroused by a feeling ap-j predation of the.woes of war. Said an ele gant lady, once haughty, who confessed that; every mala relative Bhe had was in the.rebel ar my, “Oh ! we would sacrifice all we possess in the world for peace. ’ The'war was a sad, sad thing for all of an.” There was a touching pathos irt her voice and manner, that proved' her wighsoul-feit. She proceeded; , . , “Wfyen will there be peace?” . . ‘‘When the rebels, submit madam.” “They’ll never do that.” ' “Then .there’ll never be peace. The North-1 era' people Were ruthlessly forced into this war : to protect the government. They were bitterly i reluctant to engage in it. They are the. con- | quering race, and your friends will iSarn . the,, bitter lesson.”' ■ r . I Madam gazed as if she thought the decant- j tion was Tor*effect, finally ashed,, with deep; earnestness, “Do you realty mean wbat’ykm! say?” '1 “Most sincerely. We will never cease war! untill you submit to the United States. The' Union must be preserved.” . | Tears gathered in her beautiful eyes as she j repeated her’piteous story. My brother fail in Kentucky ; my cousin, dear to me as mj j brother, died of his wounds in Tennessee; tha dearest friends I had no earth,.fell at.ldonelsunV and Shiloh. I have drank bitter cups of woe' I pray only for peace.” Others, less gentle by nature, are firm an declaration that the rebels will not submit. ■ A few haughtily boast that “Southern gentlemen” will never yield :' but rnnuy—ft surprising num-! her indeed— deprecate the woes of war with' most melancholy eloquence, . , .

Upon the arrival of the troops opposite erioksbnrg it was discovered that the placcwns 1 ' occupied by Rebels, : and a train of cars wa» ! observed steaming off southward. A cun wu<f immediately brought to bear upon the latte* 5 object and a few shots discharged which ah - ' though they did not hit, had the effect to its movements very preceptibly. A demand? was at bnoe made for the surrender of the Citjjt l and the remaining army stores which be:there; and upon their refusal to comply, -1 sixteen boors was to be allowed them in wTileti* to remove the women and children, after which* l the town.was to be shelled.

Had wo no alternative but to cross here the rebels ' could make it exceedingly difficult and. danger- - uus for us, but -I think that when the proper time comes a crossing will be effected without any serious consequences. Once over-however I think tbe path we are to traverse to Rich- mond will be rough and bloody, but the watch word is “ onward" and wo must surmount all obstacles, endure all hardships, and nnfiinch-. ingly meet all the perils which we arc! called 1 upon to encounter.
