Election of County Superintendent. —The convention of School Directors of Lehigh county assembled In the Conrt Douse, on Tuesday last, and selected E: J. Yonne, Esq., to perform the duties of County Supeilutendead of Common Schools for the ensuing tlu•ec years. Ills re-elec tion is a tribute to the able and efficient manner in which ho has performed his duties and will secure the success of the Common School system in this county. Notice to Subteribers.—Our subscribers are requested to remember that we have purchased the subscription books of Tan REGISTER office and set tlement pf fatback as well as advance eubscriptious must he made at this office.

Their establish ment is one of the finest In their trade in the coun try and their prices are made to suit everybody. Their number is 42 West Hamilton Street. Another Argument against the Uee of Wide key.—Allentown is pestered by half witted people as Well as any other city. On Friday one of these Individuals put a quantity of croton n oil into the whiskey used by the managers of the Good Will Gift Enterprise and about a half hour after the stimulant was indulged In by the parties, they were suddenly overcome by sickness, and a sus pension of their duties was rendered absolutely ne cessary. It may have been excellent fun for the individual who perpetrated this intended Joke, but If it shall have any serious results upon the vic tims, the severe penalty of the law dealt out to the perpetrator will be a Just return for Isis fun, and will probably cure him of any desire to again carry out his little Joke.

AatenoioA Day was religiously observed in Allentown, plaCes of business were closed, Christ ians attended church, and drunkenness was in- dulgcd In to some extent. Some twenty odd years ago this day saw the greater part of the business Portion of Allentown laid in Ashes by the devour ing element. The people, conscious of their sins, believed it to be a visitation of the wrath of DI" vine Providence, and have since then observed tile day by a suspension of business. Those who ar rived here from other cities on that day were sur prised to find themselves suddenly transposed from Thursday to Sunday. The religious countenance of our city was no less a surprise, for what stranger has not heard In advance of hie visit to this place that our city is the veriest Sodom of America. By the way did it never occur to our citizens that this reputation which has been fastened upon our city solely through the gossiping of themselves • is a stain and a disgrace, and is Mime great draw. back to our advancement. Of course, we, who have had excellent opportunities of seeing for our selves, do not believe • nll that is said. Half the reports circulated about the conduct of persons are prompted by .a Mean, low, degraded, jealous spirit. Our citizens, taken as a whole, have shown themselves worthy of the name of gentlemen and" ladles. We have among us the most enlightened, religious and honorable' people to be found any where. • To be sure, we have also the &cgs of society, but what city of our enterprise and pro gress has not 4 We have •all that art combiosi with nature can do to make the place rich, pros porous and beautiful, and we do not intend to stand gulltly by and allow the wickedness eta few • condemn the whole, and be a reproach upon oar: fame and an obstruction to the Influx of an en. Aching immigration. New Burial Lots.—Good & 1:1111,le, real es tate agents, offer for sale fourhandred and twenty burial lots adjoining the Union Cemetery. They are advertised in another column.

THE COUNTY To SEOAR MAKERS.—Thu Department at Washington has given orders to Revenue Collec tors to sell stamps only to Boger manufacturers who comply with the law by filing a bond •in the office of the Collector.

Application to do so must ho made through the Assessor In this city. IMPORTANT DECISION IN A RAILROAD CASE. —On Monday morning, Judge Pierson, In the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, at Harrisburg, sitting for commonwealth cases, rendered a decision In the case of the Common wealth .vs. Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, which was of great importance. The question was ou the constitutionality of the tax Imposed by the act of April 30, 1804, on the gross receipts of corporations. The Reading road con tended that the tax on gross receipts from freight going beyond the State lines, was In opposition to. the Constitution of the United States. The MA decided the case In favor of the company, In a de cision of great length. It Is calculated that 0200,- 000 per annum is involved In the test case. A writ of rror was Issued from the Supremo Court the same day. CURE FOR HYDROPIIOIIIA.—This horrible malady Is increasing among us to a fearful extent. We hardly take up a paper without meeting with the details of a mud dog chase and the killing of the animal, not, however, before the life of one or more persons has been put lujeopardy. Dr. Frey, of Skippack, this county, has been very successful in treating cases of hydrophobia. The Indian apolis Journal, a few months since, contained an account of Miss Selvia Eller, of Beck's Station, Hamilton county, Indiana, who was bitten by a rabid dog about two months previous. The wound was a very slight one, and giving no alarm, was unfortunately suffered to heal without being sub ected to treatment. She was attacked by hydro- phobia. Opiates proved of little use. Finally the physician administered bromide of potassium, Increasing the quantity to about two ounces per day. For three days, there was no change per ceptible ; the disease then abated Its violence and the patient has since recovered. Norristown Herald. THE SURVEYOR GENERAL'S REPORT-VAL UABLE HISTORICAL INFORMATIO?L-11. 18110 E often that a Surveyor-General's report contains any thing of interest to the general reader ; but Co!. abell has done himself great credit, by comp g some very valuable historical reminiscences in s late report. It is accompanied by a map, showing the various purchases made from the Indians. From this map It appears that the first purchase was made as early as 1682, being a small tract at the eastern extremity of the State, immediately north of Phil adelphia county. In 1736 the territory now con stituting the counties of Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Lancaster, York, Adams, Cumberland, Franklin, Montgomery, Bucks, Berke, Lebanon, and Lehigh was purchased. In 1740, the territory now Included in Dauphin, Schuylkill, Carbon, Monroe, and Pike, was bought, and in 1758, the territory of Huntingdon, Blair, Bedford, Juniata, and other counties was added. In 1708, a large purchase was made, including the new counties of Allegheny, Washington,. Westmoreland, Greene, Fayette, Somerset, Cambria, Indiana, part of Cen tre, Union, Northumberland, Montour, Columbia, Lucerne, Suhllyan, Lycomiug, Wyoming, Susque hanna, and Wayne, forming an irregular section running diagonally across the entire State, from the extreme soutil-west to the north-east. In 1784, the balance of the State was purchased, including the northern and north-western counties—Butler, Beaver, Lawrence, Armstrong, Clarion, Mercer, Crawford, Erie, etc. The little irregular corner , which gave us the magnificent harbor on Lake Eric, was purchased from the United States in 1752. The prices of lands In Pennsylvania, at various periods, aro given in detail. Under Penn and his heirs, previous to December, 1762, tho price was £lslos. ($41.43) per hundred acres, with the ex ception of a few warrants' in the lower counties, at $9.33 per hundred acres. The highest price obtained under the Penns was 424 per hundred El= The prices under the Commonwealth were, from 1784 to 1792, 826.66 per hundred :Mies. After the p urchase of 1784, and up to 1789, The price was $BO per hundred acres. Unimproved lands in the porches° of 1784, east of the Allegheny riveri sold as low as .f. 5 or 813.33 per hundred acres. Of the purchage of 1768, and those previously :node, In cluding Allegheny and the neighboring .counties, unimproved lands were sold, front 1702 to 1814, at the rate of fifty shillings, or 813.6635 per hundred acres. There are men still living who might have purchased Allegheny county lands at this rate— which is six and two-thirds cents per acre. Front March, 1814, lands lying Within the purchase of 1768, and the previous purchases, were sold at the rate of 826.6635 per hundred acres. From 1817; lands within the purchase of 1784, east of tI Q Allegheny river and Conewango creek, were sot dt at the latter rate. The first three counties which were formed, (Philadelphia, Bucks and Chester,) were estab lished at the first settlement of the Province of Pennsylvania, and were the original counties of all that territoryolow comprising the great Key stone State. Several of the counties were origi nally large. Berke contained most of tho territory now included in the counties of Schuylkill and Northumberland. Lancaster Included Dauphin, Lebanon, Cumberland, York, and part of North tsimberland. Chester Included the whole of Lan caster and Delaware counties. Westmoreland was formed In 1773, from a part of Bedford, and in 1785 a part of the purchase of 1781 was added thereto. Allegheny was formed In 1788 out of a a part of Westmoreland and Washington, the lat ter having been formed in 1781, out of a part of WestMoreltrnd. The following counties were composed wholly of the territory originally belong log to Allegheny, viz : Butler, Crawford, Erie, and Mercer, all of which were organized March 12th, 11300. The following counties were formed partly from Allegheny: Armstrong, Beaver, Venango, and Warren. It will thus be seen that Allegheny county was originally quite extensive, four large counties having been wholly cut therefrom, aAI four others partially composed of her territory. Site has still an area of seven hundred and fifty four square miles,. or 482,560 acres. Aethe prices above given the entire county might have been) purchased, sixty years ago, at less than the price of one of her model farms to-day. Lancaster was the first county formed, after the ! original three. It was made May 10, 1729, front a part of Chester. York earns next, from a part of Lancaster, in 1749. " Cumberland next, in 1750. Berke and Northampton were formed at the name time and by the same net, dated March 11, 1752. So the "subdivisions have been going on, until we now number 66 largo and prosperous counties. There are 44,317 square miles in the State, of 28,169,880 acres, with a population of 3,000,000. Philadelphia county has the smalleit territory (125 square miles), while Lucern° has the largest (1,400 square miles). - Berke contains 020 square miles or 588,800 nerve. The population of some of the principal counties compares as followe:—. Philadelphia, 565,529;. Allegheny, 178,831 ; Lan caster, 110,314 ; Berke, 03,818 ; Lucerne, 00,244 Behnylkill,B9,slo; Chester, 74,578; MontgenterN. 70,500; York, 08,200; Bucks, 63,576; and so running down in the scale to Forest, which ime less than 1,000 inhabitants, with : an area of 445 square miles.. SECOND ANNUAL CONVIINTION OF THE. LE ..' num COUNTY 80231. Y noooooV. - ASSOCIATION.— Tb 6 Second Annual Convention of the. Lehigh County Sunday School Association convened In the Goirrinn'lmtheme Church In this city on Wed 'ncsday morning. • • Finn DAY.—Afternoon Jessiou.—Tho afternoon session wits opened wltlidevotional exercises con ducted by D. Thomas, Esq., of Catasauqua, when 0. Williams led in prayer. Next In order was the discussion.of the topic f Teacher's home work," by Prof. Richards, who said: My Impression at one time was,.that all that teachers did at home was to fix up and go to school and find out by the 'answers what the scholars had studied, but ftom the topic assigned to me I am led to suppose that more is required. The title Doctor used to imply that he who was honored with it was learned and that ho had studied how to Impart his knowledge. So too the Sunday School teacher must study in order to prepare himself for his work. To com mence with little things there aro words to be pronounced and the scholars must be taught to pronounce them correctly. Then the more diffi cult words must be explained and the inferences must be drawn. Scripture must be compared with Scripture If we wish to get the true meaning of certain passages. We should not depend upon ono passage only but compare ono with another. All this requires time and must be attended to at home. As to visiting that depends a great deal upon cir cumstances, and we cannot determine a rule to go by except that where the necessity is greatest there It should be most diligently attended to. Rev. J. W. Wood followed and In the course of his re marks showed that it Is the duty of the Sunday School teacher to attend to prayer, to the careful study of the word of God, to provide appliances to fit themselves the better to Impart instruction to their classes. It Is the duty of the people to bike I hold of this Sunday School work and not depend as much upon the Ministry as they have been In the habit of doing. The people seem to thinkthat the Ministry ought to do the preaching, and the pray ing and all that the people have to do Is to look on and acquiesce. Rev J. F. Crouch spoke of Sunday School teachers, excuses for not making preparations, showing that some of the excuses for want of time, means, Rte., aro valid. Ile was suc ceeded by Mr. J. Erdman, who spoke of the ne cessity of the personal study of the word of God and of not depending upon the work and opinions of the minister. We should have one ear upon what the minister says and one upon What the Bi ble says, and compare one with the other. Mr. D. Thomas then spoke of the necessity of prayer for every scholar on the part of the teachers meetings. Mr. Emmens spoke of the necessity of directing our attention to waking up those who are at work in the Sunday School. Mr. R. K. Bimini° called attention to the various means and appliances necessary to obtain a full knowledge of the Scrip tures. Rev. J..N.'llinceut was then called upon and lu the coarse of his remarks sold : My first lesson on coming to this place was a reason In geography. I was surprised to find that Allen town which I had supposed to be a small place was really a city of 15,0(10 inhabitants. I had often passed this place and looked upon it only an a point on the great route front New York to Chi cago. So Cite Sunday School teacher too often looks upon his half hour's Sunday School work as a small affair, compared with the whole week's secular work. But let some great interest centre droned the Sunday School and lie will at once study up his subject Ana look itt it front all sides. The first thing necessary is to begin early, ou Sab bath: afternoon If possible and then keep on during the week ; secondly, do a little every day, fifteen minutes daily will accomplish much tow ards preparing the lesson for the Sunday School ; thirdly, keep a memorandum book In which to re cord whatever may assist in explaining the lesson . ; fourthly, have a planaccordiug, to which the les son may be studied; fifthly, let prayer permeate the whole. My plan is to consider the lesson un der these six heads : persons, places, dates, doings, doctrines, dutieS. Any Bible lessons viewed through these will at once become clear and In teresting. Revs. Harrison Crouch and Taylor, and Messrs Hefner and Hecker continued the dis cussion, and dwelt upon the good fruits of Mild ness, and punctually ou the part of the teacher. After singing the hymn "Jesus, lover of my soul" the discussion of the parent's duty and relation to the Sunday School was opened by Rev. C. Earle, who stated In the course of his remarks that it is the parent's duty to actively co-operate with the Sunday Schoolteacher and to take an interest in the work of the school. The parent should in crease the influence of the teacher, he should In struct his children at home so Clint they may be the better prepared for their duties at school • he should supervise their reading matter taken from the Sunday School libraries ; ho should inquire into the subject clatter taught in the Sunday School. Rev. Grles followed, speaking of theduty of parents to come to the aid of the Sunday School and to teach lu the Sunday School. Rev. J. W. Wood replied that he stns. one difficulty in the way. Parents as well as teachers are subject to laziness, and that is the reason why so few take hold of this work ns they should. Rev. A. Taylor rose not to offer a specific to mire Inziness but he would presenta motive or an object to attract their attention and to command their .sympathies. Rev. J. N. Vincent asked whether there was not probably too much for our people to do on Sunday. He mentioned several localities In which there were but two services instead of the three now usually required in our congregations. Rev. A. Taylor then took up the art of asking questions. It is well to ask questions so as to get the children inter ested, to command their attention, and to get them to ask questions again sons to bring about au in terchange of thought. A question should be asked Inn kind manner, only such should be asked as the teacher himself knows how to answer. It altould be a reasonable question. It ulna lead the child to think. Ire spoke of the defects of Sunday School question books, although be was not pre pared to condemn the use of question-books alto gether. The question box was then opened uml the questions found therein were answered by Rev. J. N. Vincent. The session was then closed by singing, a hymn, and with prayer by Rev. C. Earle. Evening Session.—The exercises of the evening were in strict conformity with the programme. Of the addresses, owing to the absence of the Record ing Secretary, we are unable to give oven a short summary but we trust that Inasmuch as our peo ple turned out en masse, the loss to them, in this respect, will not be very great. Thursday, (tiscensfon Day) May 01h, 1669. Children's meeting at 714 o'ckock, the young peo ple of our city gathered in the church where they joined in singing it hymn of praise and In prayer led by Rev. T. Harrison. A scripture lesson wean= conducted by Rev. A. Taylor:on I These. I, 10. Rev. B. K. Brobst then delivered au address to them In the German Longunge. Ile was succeeded by Rev. I. N. Vincent who stated that he likes chit- dren because they are so homiest. He would talk to them of " Will and Work." He illustrated his theme In a manner both intereresting end to the point. He showed how Important a firm and per severing will and a fixed purpose are, by relating anecdotes illustrating indolence In children and undue leniency} and mistaken views of education in parents. :Ile Illustrated elearly'the folly of too great haste in the matter of education, rani showed how noble and honorable it Is for the youug to dareAo du right. nth children then joined is sing ing,‘‘,Jesus, lover of my soul," after which the ,meeting was closed with prayer by Rev. J. W. Wood. SECOND DAT.—Merniny Sesidan.—The morning Session commenced precisely at opened with the hymn " Singing for Jesus" fel 'lowed by the reading of the eighth Psalm and with prayer by Rev. Empp of Slatington. After singing "Nearer my God to Thee," the Convention listened to the followlug statistical re port. 'Tim whole number of schools reported Is 64, Teachers 1272, Male Teachers 630, Female Teachers 642, Male scholars 3695, Female schol ars 31318, avenge attendance 9931. The largest school—St. Paul's German Luther an, Allentown, 505 scholars and 39 - Teachers. The next largest school, Zion's Reformed, Al lentown 952 scholars and 52 teachers. The dtird hirgest school, St. John's English Lu theran, Allentown, 360 scholars and 52 teachers. ' The largest Library, First Presbyterian, Cata gangue, 874 volumes. The next largest library, St. John's English Lu theran, Allentown, 750 Volumes. The thirst largest library, St. Peter's Lutheran, Allentown, 600 volumes. Number of schools open the year round, 32. Number of schools open eleven mouths, 1. Number of schools open nine mouths, 4. . The remaining schools are open from 6 to 8 months. Eight schools report weekly and seven teen monthly teachers' meetings. The time for discussing the " Duties and embar rassments of School Superintendents" having ar rived and Rev. John Vincent being .called upon showed in the course of his remarks that the first duty of the Superintendent Is to protect his teach cm from disturbance and Interference. He refer red particularly to the disturbances occasioned by the distribution of librarY books and missionary collection, also to the necessity of will and perse verance In the Superintendent. He sold that the prayer should be brief, the hymn should be eN plalned before sung and there should not he too much of it sung at a tinter again ho should be able to review the lesson before the close of the exercises. T. F. Emmons continued the discussion, refer ring to the embarrassment incident to Superinten dents because of the Want of co-operation between him and the teachers, because of the inattention of the teachers of scholars, of the want of well qualified teachers, of their absence, want of punc tuality, and of the conviction that the object de sired, has not been attained. The discussion was continued by Rev. Crouch who spoke of the dispo sition of teachers to throW , the responsibility of -malms aintog. order with several classes upon the 'Superintendent. Bad scholars can very often be 'reformed by transferring them to other classes under the charge of teachers better calculated to 'manage cases of this kind. 0. Williams then proposed his method of dealing with such cases, giving It as his opinion that the best way to deal with cases of this kind Is to furnish them with employment—the attending to some work cou nected with the machinery of the school. After singing "My days are gliding swiftly by," the convention proceeded to the discussion of the openlogand closing exercises of the Sunday School. Rev. J. Vincent Opened the discussion' by' saying that theopenlog and closing exerelses• should be attended punctually at the appointed time. Among preparation exercises before tho opening of the school he mentioned a ,fifteen minutes teachers' prayer meeting, supplying books to the various classes and arranging matters and things for the ConVenienee of the Superintendent. The opening exercises should consist of singing, prayer and the reading of the scripture. It Is very important that unity of design pert:rate all these exercises. To promote order and system a call bellto give signals le very convenient. The discussion was contin ued by Revs. Packwood, and Wood, and Messrs. William Erdman,Areinig and Blery. On motion of Mr. Breinig a committee was appointed to nom inate officers to serve for the ensuing year. The committee consists of the followings M. A. Sci pio, 8. 11.•Anewalt, W. R. Lawfer, Robt. McAllis ter, J. AL Ritter, Tooke!, M. B. Sehaadt, S. Evans, J. L. Breinig, L. P. Hecker, D. J. Ma 4 stin, Robert McDowell, and Rev. Porter. ' Rev. J. H. Vincent was then called upon to dis cuss the subject of infant school instruction. He did so and the better to illustrate the subject con ducted a clues in what be called the elliptical method of instruction. The question box having been opened Rev. A. Taylor proceeded to answer the queries found therein, after which a hymn was sung when the convention adjourned. Afternoon Sesston.—Conventlon was opened by singing a hymn, reading the scriptures and prayer by itev. Rondthaler, of Bethlehem, after the sing ing of another hymn the convention proceeded to the discussion of the topic—keeping Sunday School open during the winter. Opened by Rev. J. G. Sands, who stated that the exercises usually as signed are, first, want of proper clothing to protect the little folks from theinclemeneyof the weather; second, the difficulty of reaching schools on ac count of the bad condition of the roads in the winter season. In the third place, it bus become customary and hence Sunday Schools are often closed simply because It is the custom to do so. Finally they aro often closed because there is not sufficient zeal in the Sunday School cause In the hearts of the teachers. The speaker showed con clusively that none of these exercises are valid, and then proceeded to show that they should not be closed because of the importance of the object to be attained, and because the influence to lead them to Christ should be continually exerted against the evil influences perpetually in operation. Mr. Atwater stated that his experience convinc ed him that schools could be kept open during the whole year. What is wanted is more perseverance in the officers. Rev. J. 11. Vincent gave it as to his opinion that the chief obstacle to keeping Sabbath Schools open during the whole year is laziness. Rev. J. B. Ruth arose to defend the cause of the people in the country against the attacks made on them, because of a lack of piety. The question was farther discussed by Rove. Vincent and Rath as well as by A. J. Breinig. The time for the departure of Rev. Vincent hav ing arrived, he spoke some eloquent parting words which were responded to by the President. The report of the committee on nomination was received and on motion adopted, after which the committee was discharged.

Rath spoke of the teach er, scholar and the work. He pointed out the re lation which the teacher sustains to the scholar lied to his God. Then he took up the relation of the scholar to the church, and the difference be tween the children of christial, and those of heath en parents. Finally, be spoke of the work to be accomplished, dividing It Into instruction from the word of God and prayer. He argued strenuously for instruction in the language with which they aro familiar. Sunday School music was then discussed by Rev. Rondthaler, 0. Williams and Dr. Romig. The time to be devoted to this exercise having ex pired, Rev. J. W.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. lu regard to the two arguineutn already adduced, proof of the unity of the human race, a for romarkit on degree to which variety extends among animals of same speclesaud among men, will strengthen the con, sloe wo have reached. It ettuunt;, be denied that among the inferior animals Om varieties which spring op and aro Perpetuated, aro no lose numerous or remarkable titan those exhibited by the inhabitants of the different cormers of the globe. The facial angle In the skull of the Negro in given, at its minimum. as monody degreem; eighty-live degree,. an Its maximum to the European, and eighty as the average degree to the Caucasian race But the facial nosh: of the adult Troglueyte In only thirty-live &green, and that of the Orang or Satyr thirty degreeat the differ ence, therefore, between these animals and num la eo great that, its Mr. Pritchard observes, "the utmost diversities between human racer are quite inconsiderable when compared with it." The differences among oxen are very great in else, color. horn., or no norm.. the leugth of bones, tho amount of g e st, he. Sheep exhibit a great variety. as the horned breed, the Leicemtershiro, the Southdown, the Welsh, and no on. Hogs Ira o lens remarkably, to the shape ut the bead, the length 4 ff , also of the lege, bristles, Inn. t and ono race of awl:3N' . Ito common in England, has the hoof undivided. Them., sad other species of animals, exhibit mere variety than does thence of man. A merlon of skulls from the large head of the wild twee to the short head of the Ilaugerna. breed, or the tile:Am . "bee k ti of the racer, would exhibit a mare remarkable Installs.. of yawl:aloe than can UlOund between the Auterieso lotion and the European, or between either of them and thk negro! The nature of the covering of the animal, whelle4f the wool a mong sheep or of the hair ou doe, and goittailud beam varlet. no loss than the hair of the human head. Compare the Ceylon horse, thirty Inchon high, with the draugla horse. of New York and Loudou! the Devonshit'e or'Bur .ham ox with the Bison of our Rocky Nountalnal Soto; nintain bear wool, and ether. N the Smite weirs are covered with hair! If. the Negro had wool on Ida head (which he has null, that would not prove him to belong to a different race from other men. Enough has been ettid to show that the differences In the various tribes of mon form no ground for denying the unity of the tans family as descended from one original Pair. • 3. Another argument for the unity of the human race le found in the use of language, and the relation of all languages to one original tongue. Man in the only being an earth that uses these articulate sounds. with a variety of InOcelloos, which wo call language, and all men are alike in this. There Is strong proof hero of the einemam of the human species. But Btu study of Manes laugmtges, or the encase of philology. hes demiy demon strated that all the earth wan at first of one speech. Ever Herder, who discredits the biblical account of Babel, maintains that all I.guagiul hove a common or igin. A nn Klaprotb, who mime makes no secret of bin disitellef iu the Mosaic history of the dispersion, says, "The universe e mus, of lauguagea In placed In au strung a light, that I must be eonsidered by all completely demenstruted.' Frederick Schlegel, Chevalier Buuseu, Prof. Wilaun, and ot h er i ntr o. after the most thorough Investigation, arrived at the Name couclusiou. This argument point, With great directness and power to the unity of the human race, and - confirms, beyond all reasonable cavil, that at first "the whole earth was atone language and one speech," Gen. 11 :1, and that and spoke the truth, C. C. burr to the con trary n o twithstanding, when ho said, "Behold, Tile ran, PLO (g one, and Meg los re ALL one language!

Another moment for the- unity of our race le. that God has addressed himself in the ittbte to mankind as one race. This Ia a very extennlve Memo and we.can only. glanco at some prominent points. In his expositions of Scripture Mr. liner became • eXcited, as was necessary to keep from laughing it himself, and lath:deed In ouch pro longed Swells of bothbastic oratory that it was difficult to toll whether his head or hie heart woe most accountable for tho stupid blunders or tho willful perversions which he made. To follow him In all the crooked, absurd and con tradictory assertions of hie lectures, would be a tedious and .zele. task; for, the manifeetailliness and the ma_ Infidelity of :nasty( hie positione, carry their own rrectiou on tholr fitco. But very fete men, In tills day, n meter molt-conceit enough to make such brazen fool* thorned,ee as to swallow Mr. Burr's theories. Therehs necoutroilletloti In Genesis 2 :4-7, of the pro ceding narration of the creation of man. These aro thg , generations," gm', vet.. 4, moans nose proceeding stale meats, or, the foregoing la a history of the creation of the heavens and of the earth. In tho process of that creation, up the sixth day, there wax not a man to till the ground. plain that these versos are a'recapitulatioa of the pro. :ding history, and intended to ho an Introduction to the llowing history of man in Eden. To preload that Ahoy for ton second and distinct moo of moo, is tho wild fancy. , an unbalanced brain. Mr. Burr's eloquence became mpestuous and cloudy on the subject of Cain and his Ire. Ills int6rproatiou of the Bible hero was, that Cali und la the laud of Nod a woman of another moo who Baum his wife) But the Bible neither sage nor suggest. y such thing. Let nor body read Genesi. 4: 10, 17, and ,o if tho simple facto stated thero are uhtjunt the.: "Cale welt In the laud of Nod, and his wife bore a sou to him." Mr. Burt either know, or ho did not know, that ho wan abusing tho Word of Bod and the common nonno or his audience, in Ills statements on thin point. To soy that ho know. would prove him to Loa knave, and that be did not know, n fool. Of course, under the circumstances, and before the special limitations respecting whom It lo lawful to marry were revealed, Cain's wife wan his sister; and every probability shows that they were married before Coin murdered Abel, fur, uftor that crime, it Is not likely t any woman would couneut to Phan" hie fortnue4. But the book of (kneels le "a legend, a myth," and each Ilk° nonsense, of what avail can it i.e for Mr. Burr to argue from It to Provo a plurality of races? Did our Savior mean to say, when speaking about the brethren of Dives, they bare the legends and myths of Moses, let them hear them"? So C. C. Burr teachesl But imam does say, "Beware of false prophets (teachers), who some to you In slurps clothing, but inwardly they Iwo ravening wolves." The language of the Bible Is explicit and plain to "a. wayfaring man, Omagh he boa foul," thnt all nations on the earth are one ram Tho moral government of Clod Is spoken of as applied to all alike. Tho phrases all men," •• all nations," "all kindreds of maim'," "the nations that are under the whole heaVen," "having the everlast ing gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth and to every nation and kindred and tongue and people." " thou west slain and bast redeemed us unto Oud by thy blood . out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation," prove the unity of the race, as all alike under the . , moral government of Sod. Different nations aro mentioned by name to which God's law applies, and to whom the good news of Salvation are to be sent. "Ethiopia shall noon stretch out her hands unto Clod." Listen, oh Isle's. unto me," that ix, 11w South Sen Islanders an well. ag other, "There were In the church at Antioch certain prophets and teachers an Dorman. and Simeon the Negro: (Ante 13:1). " Behold, these shell Color from far: and 10, these front the North and frotu the West; and these from the laud of Sinitn" (China), Such language Is very alma. dant In the Bible, and show. that (ltd regards (ho various nations on the earth on one race. The Bible Is' revealed for all men of every variety; ill moral law and Its slava- Lion ure applicable to all men, therefore the race Ix one. A. A distinct and reliable argument:wain for the unity of the bunion race connistv in the ertatenee eta and death. Th. angels Indeed may Au, but the question hero Is not as between men and angels, but as between different varie ties, or, as Mr. Burr sop., different races of men. "Sin • • • to the trattAgression of the law,'' and all mon have sinned• The same passions of the human heart are exhibited unde r every• variety of climate and of physical peculiarity. The description of the Apostle, sent to the Capital of tho world at the thee, where all the civilization and refinement of antiquity centered, in oleo applicable to tho Bushman of Africa, and the Islanders of the Pacific. Anger, loot, re venge, and theft, and every work of the flesh, aro found built among polished and besotted pagans. As sinners tho race is one. If an Island Wore unknown, but inhabited by men, In discovered, Its vices can bo eunmerated before they aro AV Itnehned. The uniformity and the universality of tint dontoontratoA tho unity of the race. It debases alike the savage and the philosopher; it call.

Thu Word of Clod, on this point, knocks tito theory of Burr r; dead as a trip-hammer would uu insect. "By ONE MAN slit entered Info the world." All men are sinners, therefore all men have a common father in Adam. This direct statement may not amount to much with Mr. Burr, whose greatness of Intellect cud depth of learning ouablo him to cement against either Paul or Clod, but with true philosophers aunt Christians it will go it great way toward settling the qiiestion. True science and the Word of God are always in agreement. If there wore other palm of human brings besides Adam any Eve, created as the parents of a different race, the author of the Bible and his inspired servants would have known It, and, hummuch no all races aro sinuers, how Is it dust co have nu accouut is the Bible, ur out of it, of tho first sin of the heads of the different races? In that case the scripture should read "By two men" (or nay uumbor that would ho the right one) "sin entered Into the world!'' But.the fart is, as scieuce and (ho Bible put It, by Ons toatmdu colored:" . . Take another pansago, "In Adam all die." Mere the name of the first malt in given, and the annertion made that by virtue of conuectiou with him all men die, and thin "nil" Includoi thoso Who. as Mr. Biter claim., belong to another race, We • know that all kinds, types, colorn, KU. and recent of men die-but they tile in .Ithitn, Omit recognizing a connection of all tnell With AliMllll as their progenitor; and tot again, the unity of the rata in proved by the Seripturo, 0.4 well no by the lawn of true science. Other lines of argument, equally decisive, are open, both In nature and revelation, to prove that mankind have all descended from a mingle pair, especially the great Salvo- Otto provided for all men, lint we Lolly add 0. Ono morn argmment, the tribes of men are capable of recetring Christian ((p and civilisation. I' row. la religion and art is a characteristic of man that distinguishes hint from brutes, and marks him as consti tuting°. distinct species. It was humiliating to humanity for Mr. Burr to indulge, again and again, in the bitterest Invective against the capacity of half stir taco for melt,- leg and retaining Christlauity cud el villsattou, and to re tail falsehoods against the missionary work, as Impudent and as deceptive an was the find Ile lu Eden, The case stands thus: C.

'THE - NORTH PENN. IRON- CO' - mossus. EtirrOaa:—Knowing that you feel an Interest In every enterprise providing to aid In furthering the general progress and prosperity of our section, I would say, that In addition to the numerous establishments devoted to the manu facture of Iron, along the Valley of the Lehigh, making cities, towns andvillagee as if by atagle, and radiating prosperity and progress in every direction, a charter has been obtained, at the close of the Legislature, incOrporating the "North Penna. Iron C 0.," who contemplate erecting a Blast Furnace forthwith, on lands secured by the company of Mr. Jacob O. Apple, about ono mile above Hellertown on the North Penna. R. R., and in the Immediate vicinity of the rhoted Yeager's limestone quarries, thus securing that part of the raw material, which enters so largely Into the manufacture of iron, at its doors. Abundance of Hematite ores have been secured along Beacon Valley, by leases on farms, which, by means of railroad facilities can be delivered chea . per than to any other similar establishment with which I am acquainted. Explorations made on farms of Thomas Reichert, David Mory, Macon Ritter and C. Wittman, show large deposits—on the latter lsl feet In 10 shafts. Numerous leases have been secured promising equally well. It is doubtful, taking all things into considera tion, whether the company could have selected a more °legible spot for the manufacturing of pig Iron in this part of the country, no ted for itsgeu oral facilities for that branch of manufacture; and hence cannot fall to be successful and profit able, under tho management of its energetic of ficers, which are :—Dr. H. Detwiller, Easton,Pres- Merit; W. R. Yeager, Esq., Haucon, Vice Presi dent; Col. W. H. nutter, Easton, Treasurer; C. Esq.. Hellertown, Secretary; Mr. Hunt (a brother of Joshua Hunt, Esq., of the Crane Works); Superintendent and general manager. Saucon Valley, though known for years to have some iron ore, has but recently been discovered to be very apt to excel every other . section of Le high county In containing that mineral. Its zink mines stand unrivalled, and aro an object worthy of a visit, by all who find an interest In the wonderful resources of our section and the energy and skill employed in their develope ment, as evidenced at these • works. Tao huge pumping-engine now constructing under the di rection of Col. West, will, it Is said, be the largest in the country, and the shaft for the pumps, 22 by 111 feet, it is now being sunk, will be an object ' of curiosity, as the tine and very large ono now In operation at the works, (also the result of Col. West's inventive skill), has been for the last sev eral van. Ifs power, though great, is inadequate to cope with the largo accumulation of water in the mines, which thiti monster Is expected to do. The oldest iron ore shaft In the'valley is the Snyder mine, now worked by the Simeon Iron Co.; and though worked for a number of years, promises to hold out as many more. The Bahl' and Oangewer mines, are extensive, well equip ped with superior machinery, and yield abund antly, are operated by the Thomas Iron Co., are the next oldest. The Salomon GangOWOr mine is , under the control of the Bethlehem Iron Co; so is, I believe, the Mello* mine, That of G. and W. Mory is worked by the Saucon company, and bas no superior In the county. The company have a branch railroad nearly completed to it. Chose of Morgan Islory, Henry Yeager and Joseph Frank are all worked by the same company. the Wind and Weaver mines, as well as that of Jobst, Kenrimerer and Apple, are operated by the Bethlehem Iron Co, In addition total these, new mines will be opened shortly, which, with the works already in operation, will make Saucon emphatically THE valley 4,1 mi nem.
