The parables are the most difficult parts of the scriptures to interpret. They have, by specious, but false interpretations, been more frequent ly pressed into the service of error than any other portion of scripture, except prophecy. They are not de signed to be the first source of doc trine, but to illustrate and enforce the truth which is, in other parts of scripture, revealed in a more formal manner. It is a sound principle of interpretation, applicable alike to all writings, that the meaning of figura tive language must be ascertained by that which is literal. Errorists, of all ago s, who have been unable to bring the literal to their aid, have resorted by the figurative, because of its great er susceptibility of perversion. The principle of interpretation already stated is so important to guide us in our endeavors to understand the scrip tures and to fortify us against the arts of errorists, that no pains should be spared to fix it in our minds and in the minds of our children. Bible class and Sabbath school teachers should understand it, especially when Christian parents throw the respon sibility of the religious instruction of their children upon them. The lit eral is ever to control the doctrinal interpolation of the figurative. Wo arc not togo to the figurative as the first source of doctrinal teaching. A departure from this principle will involve us in false interpretation. It will give errorists scope to propa gate false doctrine with apparent sanction of the Word. By depart ure from this principle the parable of the Unmerciful Servant may be used to sustain the doctrine that there is no necessity, in the economy of grace, of the interposition of a medi ator between God and man. The King in the parable pardoned his servant on his own petition , and not on ac count of any satisfaction made or any mediator intervening. Hence it might inferred, that in the same way, requiring sacrifice or intercessor, God pardons sinners simply on the gronnd of their penitent prayers. Upon the same principle of interpretation the parable of the sower may bo made to teach the doctrine, against the ex press and literal declarations of scrip ture, that all men are not naturally totally depraved. A portion of the seed fell upon good ground and brought forth fruit; therefore some men are by nature, and without the special grace of God, fitted to bring forth fruit unto holiness. There arc illustration of a mode of interpret ing parables which has been a fruit ful source of error. It proceeds upon the principle that parables are original sources of doctrine instead of illustrations of truth communicated in literal form in other parts of scrip ture. The parable in tlic text may with perfect consistency refer either to the origin and progress of Christianity in the •world, or to the establishment, growth and perfection of the grace of God in the soul of individual be lievers. The Kingdom of God, us used in the sciptures, sometimes has reference to one, sometimes to the other, and what is said of it in the parable is in other portions of scrip ture applied to both. The origin of Christianity and the origin of personal godliness arc both divine. This is explicitly affirmed as well as necessarily inferred from the revealed fact from the natural alienation of man from God. With reference to the origin of Christiani ty it is said: "Ilim being delivered by determinate "counsel and fore-knowl edge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. This Jesus hath God raised up; therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost he hath shed forth this, which ye now sec and hear. God, who at sundry times ami in divers muuners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto lis by his Son, whom he hath appoint ed heir of all things." It is clear from these passages that Christianity has a divine origin. It is of God. The same is he origin of the king dom of God within us. "Whom he did Jforeknow he also did predesti nate to be conformed to the image of his Son. I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which 1 am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Being born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, by. the word of God which liveth and abldeth forever." It is not true, therefore, that while God is the uathor of Christianity in a general sense, man is the author of his own participa tion of the grace of the gospel. lie is born of God. But this is done by human instrumentality. It is as if a man should cast seed into ground. If God had seen fit, he could have re vealedthe truthjiinmediately to each in dividual without the intervention of anyhuman instrumentality. But he has adopted an other plan. He has com mitted the seed to prophets, apostles and deciples to be by them east abroad thv'>u;'howl the world Hi pinn mi dera it necessary that a class of men shall be set apart to sow the seed of the Kingdom. Itence the apostle, speaking of those who are ignorant of the gospel, says: "How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed ? how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard, and how shall they hear without a preacher?" In view of this divine plan with reference to the sowing of the seed of the Kindoin, the apostle gives this charge to Timothy: "And the things which thou hast lieaad of me among many witnesses, the same commit them to faithful men, who shall bo able to teach others also." The things which the apostle taught and which he here charges Timothy to commit to faithful men to teach, were, as he says,"the things that are freely given us of God, which things he spake, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth." The illutration of man's casting seed into the ground may therefore be ap plied to those who, under Christ, are teachers in the church. But my limits in the Farmer ad monish me to postpone the remaining part of this subject until next month. Fight nil mTT< raH l'oi d. WASHINGTON, June 8.12 M.— Maj. Gen. Dix: A dispatch from Gen.

It is the gate through the last or most eastern spur of the Alleghenies. It now becomes as useful to us as it was to the enemy, being easily defended from either di rection. The roads hence from Ack inworth into Georgia are large and good, and the country more open.

TRAINING TIIB TOMATO. —S'ome gardeners think that the best way is to let them alone, allowing them -to spread over the ground. They main tain that the heat of the soil hastens the maturity of the fruit. In field culture this must be' done, but where there arc plants it is well to train them on small twigs or pieces of brush stuck in the ground around each plant. This exposes the foil, age and fruit to tho light and air better than when sprawling in a dense mass on the ground. And the fruit is kept clean. Some make a cheap frame, say abont two feet high and about six feet apart, on each side of the row, and then lay polcs( old bean poles will answer) from crotch to crotch. While the plants are small, prop them up with small twigs, and when they reach the poles draw the vines over them. This plan exposes the vines to the sun and makes con venient picking, and keeps the fruit clean. Persons who have time and patience, may make frames like ordi nary grape trellises, and tie their vines- to the bars. This makes a handsome show from August to Octo ber. Tho plant if pinched in when young and made to grow compact will be more self-sustaining, and fruit earlier and better than if allowed to grow at will in the usual way.— Am. Agriculturah'nt. A LITTLE PLAIN TRUTH. —In a letter from a rebel officer to General Fagan, in Dick Taylor's army, we find the following acknowledgement of the deliberate mur der of colored troops, and also the murder of white troops; while they were raising the white flag. All this by our beloved " Southern brethren:" After Steele reached Camden lie sent out a large forage train, guarded by a heavy force* We fell upon this train, cap tured his artillery, all the wagons, and killed the last negro soldier with the train. The Yankees had a full negro regiment, and the Chotaw Indians fell upon them and killed every one. After driving Steele into Camden Gen, Fagan started with 3,500 for Little Rock, but fell in with the enemy at Mark's Mill, where we had a terrible light. -Our army were final-, ly victorious, and wo succeeded in captur ing about 1,600 prisoners and five pieces of artillery. It was a complete rout, and though the enemy endeavored to raise the white flag, but lew of them escaped. UNION PRISONERS IN GEORGIA.— NEW YORK, Juno 15.— The Rich mond Examiner of the Bth says: There arc more.than 15,000 prisoners at Andersonvillc, Ga., and upwards of 2000 died there.

Tho remnant of this gallant corps, met with a grand reception, by the authorities of this city*, on Monday last. The Fire men and various civic societies joined in the procession. Everywhere the bravo Heserves were greeted with waving ban ners, cheers and every demonstration of welcome. Ex-Mayor Kepner had been chosen as chief Marshal, and under his superintendence, the procession was form ed and conducted in an admirable man ner. Ou arriving at the Capitol, Mayor Koumfort, delivered an eloquent and ap propriate address; after which Gov. Cur tin spoke as follows: GOVERNOR OURTIN'S ADDRESS OF WEL COME. It is nearly three years since you left this city a mighty army. Nearly that length of time has passed since I had tho honor of presenting to you the standards which you arc now here to return in hon or to the State to-day. You have never visited tho State since then, save once. — Once you came back to Pennsylvania,and then wo all heard of " Hound Top," at Gettysburg. When the rest gave way, we heard your shouts around the strong holds of the foe in that devoted country, and to you —to the Reserves of Pennsyl vania—belongs the honor of changing the tide of battle there. I cannot speak of your deeds—they have passed into history already. 1 have not time to enumerate the battles youhave been in. History will record all you have done for your country. There are times when I feel proud of my office, tor here, representing in my office, aud speaking in my place for all the people in this State, I bear record of the brave Pennsplvania Reserve Corps that is without blemish or spot! [Cheers.] I this day thank God that we aver armed the gallant Reserves —1 cannot—l cannot speak in the peril ous times of war with these surroundings; I am not qualified to speak of the heroic dead you have left upon every battle-field of the Republic ; upon their graves cen ters the gratitude of this great people. But I can welcome you to your homes. From the north to the south, and from the east to the west, the voice of the old Com monwealth bids you welcome ! I need not remind you of your deeds. lam not equal to it. my fellow-citizens. The blood of the dead rushes red on my sight, aud I have no language adequate to express my gratitude to your corps. We did not know three years ago that you would remain so long in the public service ; and yet it is so. But I can refer with pride and pleasure to the part this great State has borne in the contest —from Drainesville down to last Monday, when you struck your heaviest blow ! May you all find a happy welcome to your homes ! May you ever be marked as brave men who served their country faithfully in times of great peril. May you never regret that you belonged to the Pennsylvania Reserve corps, fighting on every battle-field of the Republic. With this welcome I bid you farewell; 1 hud something to do with making the Reserve Corps —God bo blessed ! I am not ashamed to boast in this mul titudinous assemblage of sunburnt, bronz ed faces that I have stood by the Reserve Corps in all their history. I bid you wel come freely. Tremendous cheers forGov. Curtinand Gen. Grant followed. Col. Fisher, of the Reserves, spoke in reply to tho speeches of the Mayor of Harrisburg and the Governor of Pennsyl vania. In the name of what waff once a great division, ho thanked the citizens of Harrisburg for their welcome this day.— They had overwhelmed the returning sol diers with kindness—a kindness which went to their hearts to create pleasing re collections which would last forever. All he had to say in reply must be couched in language peculiar to the Reserves : "Roys, give the people such cheers as we gave the enemy at Bethsaida Church on Monday last." The boys did give the cheers,which made the welkin ring. Col. Fisher and Col. McCandless, repli ed in behalf of the Reserves.

I TUB NEW YORK TRIBUNT, first issued April 10, 1841. has to-dav a larger aggregute circulation than any other newspaper published in America, or (we believe) in the world. Compelhil a year since to increase the ju ice -if its several issues, or submit to the pecuniary ruin of its proprietors from the very magnitude *»f its circulation, it has probably since parted with some patrons to whom its reinarkafde cheapness was a controlling recommenda tion; but others have taken their place, and it has now more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers and regu lar purchasers—on excess of at least Fifty Thousand over thot-r of any rival. And this unjai cedentcd currency it has achieved by very libera! expenditures in procuring early and authentic intelligence, by the fearless expres sion or convictions, by the free employment of ability and industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in any department of our enterprise, and by unshrinking fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, ami Free dom. Dy Tory large outlays for early and authentic advices by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents with the various armies of the Union, and bv special ef- j forts to furni-h such information respecting Markets. j Crops, new discoveries or improvements in Agriculture, . Ac,, as must specially Interest farmers.we have a*sldiousty labored to IURKC a journal calculated b» meet the wants and subserve the interests of the Producing Classes.— That end we have at least measurably attained; for no other newspaper exists in America or Europe which is habitually read by nearly so many farmers and their fam ilies as IS'TftE TBIBUNF. io-lay. We shall labor to increase both the number and the satisfaction of this by far the most numerous class of Its patrons. During the existence of the Whig party, this paper supported fhat party, always sympathizing with the more liberal, progressive. Anti-Slavery there of. When new issue* dissolved or transformed old organi zation* through the spontaneous uprising of the j pie of tin- Free States against the repudiation of the Mi souri Restriction, The Tribune heartily participated in that movement, and was known a* KJjmhlican. When the long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the Slave Power culminated in overt treason and rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this con spiracy as paramount to all other considerations, and de voted all its energies and efforts to the maintenance of our Union. In every great controversy which has divided our |t lias been found on that side which natu • rally commands the sympathy and support of the large majority of school-houses and the decided minority of grog-shops, and so doubtless will be to to the last.
