minds that are acquainted with the facts and the
relations of the different sciences toward each
other—are, all firm believers in the truths of
Revelation. There are men of one idea in science;
men who keep their favorite subject so near to
their intellectual vision, and so continuously be
rfore their minds, that they never perceive any
value except in their idolized department. It is
among snob men that we often find the attempt
made to oppose the claims of Revelation, as if
they were antagonistic to the truths, of science.
0n the oth , r hand, when men of large intellec
tual development, who can wield the instrumen-

make themselves familiar with the doctrines of
Revelation, 'and the basis on which its claims to a

lation of the Gospel to those wants, as well as the

Correspondence of the Presbyterian
Banner and .Advocate,
Dn. MCKINNEY :—As my'last letter was
devoted :Principally to the "'Temporalities":
of our Territory, 1 design in'the present one
to direct your attention to our 4f Spiritual
ities,' and if
. possible, to enlist you in be
half or ourspiritual interests, and especially
in behalf of Preabyterianisui in Nebraska.
'WHAT BAS' BEEN DONE ?!> '
. . ,
The'standard of the Cron has' been erected
on' these' Weaternriver' thorns, and- a begin
fling has beenmadta toward the "permanent es- 4
:tablishment of the Prf3shyterian Olkureh. A
church has been' rganized in Nebraska 04,1
which is under the pastoral, care•cf Rev. H.,
M. Gilmer; and is -increasing. in numbers'
and 'in influence. This 'is an . ' important
ppint—has been early occupied, and, is ex
erting a healthful and powerful influence for
&din that portion of the Territory.
At Bellme, the old Omaha Mission sta
tion, a nucleus has" been formed, and is tem
porarily supplied by the missionary, Rev.
Mr. Hamilton, when net otherwise engaged
: by the demands of.; the Mission. minis-,
teris under commission to Omaha, and has'
signified his intention to come, but is not
yearn the field. Rev. Mr. Martin preaches
occasionally at Logan and Pacific City.
This is" 'about all that has been
,done,
which lam aware. And who can conten t .'
plate theie facts 'without commingled feel
ings of joy and sorrow! Joy, that even a
beginning Vati been made; but profound
sorrow, that t 36 little has ' been. done, Where
there is so much to do. - '
Brownsville, Ottoe, Archer and Salem,
besides other points of some importance
Sbuth: of the Platte, want spiritual laborers.
.Saratoga will need at least a part of a min
ister's time, next Summer. Florence and
Calhoun, De Seto and 'Cuminink 'City ; Te
koala and Dekatuf; `Omodi, Dekotah and
Sargeant's Bluff's ; - FOtitenelle, - .Elkliern and
Hazleton, all need attention. Most of these
settlements are feeble as yet; still they con
tain a population sufficient to form small
congregations, and as.they are all favorably
located, they will soon be prominent points,
and Might be profitably occupied at once.
Diity,' the motto—not ease: At Some of
these points:the minister would labor under
a' geed' many inconveniences, and might be
compelled to "endure hardnesa" .as a good
soldier; yet, by the grace of God, in a. few
years, he would collept•large and - influential
congregations and do a noble work for ,the
Church, and greatly enhance the dearest in
tereats .of Nebraska. ; , But, shall these ,flocks
be scattered like sheep upon the mountains,
simply because there are some inconveni
ences, difficulties -and even hardships con
nected With frontiet life ? The Wordling is here
in quest of gold; and he suffers all manner
of inconveniences and hardshipsin -the ac
,quisition of wealth , —ind shall the Christian
- ana especially'the Christian minister, beless
tosectireloi others, as Well' as him.
self, those treasures which moth and rust do
,not corrupt; and which L thieves:- can :`riot
steal ? The politician: is here, reaping the
spoils, of Gevernment patronage, or laying
his 44 *rOpes" for a 'future `Conyressman or
United States. Senator; and shall we shun
like inconvanienee, at the peril of the
- eternal interests of the souls of hundreds
16d - thousands Of 'the most . enlightened and
enterptising citizens of our country?
Why; too; are not the '"elders'of the
churches," the "deacons and the " rued
bership " equally emuions to be co
workers" with the minister-end with GOd,
in'leavening .these masses with* the Sublime
doctrines 'and precepts of the Gospel of
*Jesus Christ ? repeat Mlbat I : have said
elsewhere, that missionary elders are need
ed, as well as the minister.; so also ate
deacons, =Sunday School teachers, colpor
teurs, members, &c. In fact, whatever
may have been histfeelings and purposa in
the Bast, a true Christian in - the West,
.whatever , may be his office in the - Church,
can scarcely divest hiliself of the ideci that
he is a missionary,. and that he has a higher
and nobler work to perform than he ever
.contemplated in the East.
THE WEST PROVES THE MAN--THE
• CHRISTIAN.

fa . nominal Christian in the East, he is
t almost, certain•to go back to' the " beggarly
1 elements" of the world in the West:
t • , •-- 4' , •,, ENCOURAG'EMENTS.:
Leg, any should feel discouraged by any
f klltialons which I haire made to the incon
v veiliences of living in Nebraska, I would
f say, that'ordinarily this inconvenience con
tinues but a few months. Most persons
s here acquire property and accumulate wealth
rapidly, and can soon live in comfort and
ease, even if poor, when they entered the
Territory. here are many men 'of piety
and ministers of ability in the East, who
would not only, by the blessing of God, do
a thousand fold more 'good-, , ibut:would •in
the• same -ratio enhance the temporal inter
ests of their families by emigrating to Ne
braska, than to remain where they now are,
and RS they are at present situated.

is the accepted time." Which of these two
maters are you obeying ?
A lovely youth has just breathed his last
A few hours ago he wk , s in blooming health,
but was thrown from his horse, and killed.
Not far from his father's dwelling, lies the
corpse of another youth, who was accident
ally shot. It is high time to make your
peace with God. Think of tbe awful risk
you are running, if not prepared to meet
him. May it be yours, ' beloved children,
not only te do the will of God here, but may
you be happy. .forever, in that bright world,
where God, the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit, dwells. The wailings of ? the bottom
less pit cannot reach the ear., for there shall
be no sorrow or pain there, and every tear
shall be wiped away.
How Prayer is Answered.
One of the pupils in a school in Ger
many came folds master one day in great
trouble, because; , as he said, God would not
answer his prayer.
"And what did you pray for ?"
"I prayed to God that he would give me
031 humble heart ?" ,
"endvfhy do Yea think he has net heard
you?" . _
The child said, with tears, ", Since I pray
ed for this, the'other boys have 'been cross
and unkind to me. They tease and mock
me at-every turn, so that I can hardly bear
" My dear boy, you have prayed that God
would ive yo.:an lumbje heart, and why,

For the Preihrtetiali. Beniter and 'Advocate
Suvei:de St*tsun,pw.—Mothers.
There is a' practice iii 'many of our coun
try towns, that excites in us serious appre
'tension's. It waeleng ago said of certain
females, for whom hone bad few charms.
that they were - extremely dexterous in the
spinning of '" - Street Yarn and this saying
is as true now,` - andis xnore.`,fearfully mani
fested, than ff)),,en it originally suggested it
self to the 'mind of its .author. The class
of females, however, among whom we have
greatest reason to fear its ill consequences;
is the rising generation.
Haying been for some time a resident in
a country town, which is familiar to many,of
the readers of the Banner and Advocate,
we have'had abundant opportunity of wit
nessing the fearful manifestations to which
we have alluded. This practice is indulged,
too, at hours when prudence most forbids it.
Scarcely can we •walk out:after twilight in
the evening 'Without being'antioyed, by con
tinually meeting numbers of half grown
girls, and many still younger, who are per
matted to stroll the streets unprotected, un
der the gloomy shades of night; a time
when propriety would 'forbid their leaving
their homes, without Parental protection.
Could Christian • mothers: but see as they
might, the results of -this want of restraint,
they could certainly not conscientiously suf
fer their daughterisolo overstep the bounds
of propriety and so to Contract hat;ita and
form associations, detrimental to both their
temporal and Spiritual welfare.
We would not deprive youth of innocent
sports and amusements, arid an occasional
mingling with their schoolmates and &mei
ates. Bat there is :a _time for everything;
and at night is not the time, to be out. It
is the time then when the - young should be
under the parental roof and listening to in
¬ions item a mother's lips.,
The most arduous and important, of pa
rental,• duties ;devolves upon the mother;
that of instilling into her offspring the truths
of the Bible,' and) of moulding their Minds
according to its teanbings No wonder,
then, we so sometimes find wanting, in the
minds of, young ladies, those vital princi
ples of religion which should bey early in-
Stilled; and find impriidence to constitute
a charaeteristic accomplishment, when,
by many, they are , permitte.d to run ad
libitum during the most, favorable hours
for wholesome instruction. Their taste for
useful reading is also deitroyed; and their
minds, are continually distracted in . the con
templation of some night stroll, or jnyenile
party. The consequences of this night
running are also manifested to the daily in
structor, and Sabbath School teacher, as
these - are continually perplexed , - by lalf
conned recitations, and neglected Bible
lessons.
But there is still a greater evil attending
this practice. It not only suffers them to
Overstep the : bounds of propriety, - and de
stroys their, desire for ,acquiring useful
knowledge, but it also alienates their hearts
from the love of God; it blasts the early
prtspeets of the soul, and renders void, to
them, those Scripture promises so precious
to the youpg. And , yet Christian mothers
will profess a roost ardent longing for the
early conversion of their ohildren, while
they thus neglect the very means by which
God would most:likely accomplish their de
sire
How imPortant that a mother should
realize the responsibility that rests upon ber
--ghat she is training immortal souls; that
she, is rearing the future wives and mothers
Of our country that if she permits them to
go unrestrained she becomes partaker in
their sinsi and that' she has in her hands
the training of Minds which if rightly
ineulded, , itrid ) plieed like Mary at the feet
of 'Jeauti may vie with angels !

Gas is manufactured from rich bituminous
coals,—such as Cannel ,00al, Newcastle coal,
and the Albert coal of Nova Mcotia. A
ohaldron of Newcastle coal; weighing 27 cwt.
will yield
Gas
Coke
8,650 .cubic feet.
14 cwt.
Ammoniacal liquor . . 121 gallons.
-Thick-tar . . . . - 12 gallons.
A ehaldron of Cannel coal will yield an
average of twelve thousand cubic feet of
gas. The gas coal used in New York costs
about $l2 per ehaldron. The coke, or shell
of the coal after the gas is extracted, is worth
about $4 per ehaldron, and makes a very
pleasant fire in a grate.
The bituminous coal is thrown into a hot
iron cylinder, or retort, as it is called, whose
mouth is closed and sealed tight with soft
clay. The vapor of the, coal, 'distilling in the
retort, passes through aiiibe, by which. it es
capes into a series of vessels, calle,l the con
denser, where it cools and deposits all .its
taraniother condensible impurities. Thence
it passes through another series of vessels,
called the purifiery containing quick lime, of
the consistency of cream, which cleanses the
vapor of its sulphurous intermixtures.. From
the lime, the purified vapor of Ihe'coal, or,
in other words, the gas, now flows into the
gasometer, and is ready for use. From ,the
gasometer, it is driven, thrOugh main"and
service pipes, Into the customer'.6 burners.
To DETECT PHOTO C RAPHIC BANK NOTES.
—lt has lately been announced that bank
notes could be so counterfeited by the photo
graphic process, that it was impossible to de
test them, and fears were 'entertained that
the financial world would soon be overflowing
with them. The Scientific American,lois ,
ever, gives the following detective recipe :
;Make .a saturated'si.lution of the cyanate
of potassium in soft water, .and apply_ it with
a pen or camel%4 hair 'pencil' to the surface
of the suspected If genuine, the _solu
tion will have no effect upon it; but if a
photograph, all-the•d.ark apparently printed
paft:touched by the cyanate, is,inunediately
decomposed, and
_the
, paper returns to its
original whiteness.
Agricultural.
FOREIGN WHEATS.—Fourteen different
kinds of .wheat, received from abroad, have
been distributed by the United States Pat
en, Office, among< American farmers. The
Turkish flintorheat has proved itself both
hardy and prolific in the Iliddle•States and
well deserving of more exteLded culture.
The Algerian flint wheat bas a remarkably
hvie berry, and `weighs seventy pounds to a
bus r 'hel; the Spanish Spring' wheat is said to
be a beautiful variety, of unsurpassable
Fhiteness,.and likely to `stteceedwelias a
Winter wheat at ,the ;South, and a Spring
variety at the North; the Sanwa Spring
wheat, and:the early Noe ibeat,,are both
from central France, and!lare:. reported as
haVing the property of ripening some days
before the common• sorts---Wvery desirable
quality, in this country.
MERCER POTATOES —ln the early.part of
the present century, John (fay; one of the
early settlers of Mercer County, Pa., , produced
from seed the justly elebrated Mercer pate!.
to; which was afterwards cultivated:by Mr.
Bevan Pearson of Mercer County, in the
neighborhood of. Darby, , Delaware County,
Pa., whence it spread
~'over, the Union.
'Thus Gilky, a poor solitary "exile of Erin,"
has done more to benefit mUkincl than many
a hero of
_a hundred battles, , and it has been
prOposed to immortalize his humble name
. by calling the "Mercers," from henceforward,
Glandes."
THE GRAPE CULTURE:-AD Ohio', vine grower writes to the:Journal of Commerce
thattnere are now devoted to' vineyard cul
ture over four thousand acres in the Ohio
valley, about one-half 'of which. quantity is
in the vicinity of Cincinnati. In the Mis
Bowl valley there are about seven hundred
or eight hundred acres, and in the Upper
Mississippi valley five hundred or six hun
dred acres, in Tennessee, Alabama, South
Carolina, and Georgia, several vineyards of
the Catawba grape have latelY been planted,
with flattering prospects, thus far, of pro
ducina fir better crops than those of the
Ohio Valley.
CRANBERRIES.—EIias Needham, Esq., of
West Danvers, has a lot of upland, border
ing upon , the Danvers Railroad, containing
five-eighte of an acre. Upon this, some Ave
or six years since, he set out cranberry
plants, and has Cultivated ,them with great
care. This year' lie picked ninety-seven
bushe's of excellent cranberries, which he
sold for four dollars per bushel; and besides
these there were some ten bushels or damaged
berries. From trees on the' Same land be
picked fourteen barrels of apples, which he
sold for four dollars per barrel; maiing the
gross income, from five-eigths of an acre,
four hundred and forty-four dollars:

QTIITTERING AND STAMMERING
CURED, Without Pain or Surgical Operation.
The readers of the Banner awl Adm. Cat will recollect I
published a notice last Winter, beaded " The Last Call to
Stuttering and Stammering Persons," in which I annonnoed
was the only chance they would ever have of getting cuied,
and all who desired the cute should either send for it by
mail or call themselves before the 10th of March, as on that
day I had made arrangements to resign my profession, and
retire from the meetice. Since the 10th, I have personally
consulted forty; and 'sent the cure by mall to sixty indi
viduals. In every instance _perfect satisfaction has been
rendered. In Justice to all who are so unfortunate as to
stutter or stammer yet. I have thought proper to give
another opportunity of being cured, and therefore would
respectfully request them to send me $2O, (which Is less
than my nenal fee,) and I will Immediately send them m
eine. By so doing they Semi the expense fif traveling. Iy
am a responsible man, and if ray sure is not effectual I will
agree to refund the money. Recollect. this cure never fails.
Address Dr. WYCKOFF, Box 146, Pittsburgh Post Office.
There has been
. a floating population of imposters travel
ing the country , professing to cure impediments of speech
by my system, and many have bad the audacity to advertise
in my name, and give the names of men for reference whom
they never knew or saw. When persona who stammer
called, thossi• men would represent me, and in several in
stances produce 4s:oKit:irate purpOrting to be mine, vesting
in them full power and authority to prattles as my Agents.
I havefrequently warned the Public of these men, as they
are not In full possession of my system, and cannot curs.
Through untiring perseverance, I arrested two of them,
and others will scarier or later share the same fate. This
carefcir Stuttering or Stammering is one of my own
discovery, for which have a copy right, secured by law,
and have
,succemfully practised the same for th e term of
nine years. •
My refl./ramie are of the highest order, such as the Medi
cal Faculty of New York, Philadelphia, and the University
of Virginia, all the -Press 'of Pittsburgh, Washington,
Greensburg, and Uniontown, Pa., besides fifty thousand
persons in different parte of the country.
This cure lbe Stuttering and Stammering la performed In
less than ono hour. There Is no pain or surgical operation
attending it. •
The beauty of all thilris, it will cure children of five, and
adults at the age of one hundred years. A person who is
mind by it, can never again' stutter, even if they try. I of
fer to forfeit $lO,OOO if any person can ever afterwards Stet
ter, by application of the cure.
It was .formerly customary to animist's°, that no pay
would be required unless,a perfect cure was performed.
That was done to show the . people'there would be no risk in
giving me.a trial. But now, inasmuch as the leading eiti-
SOW of Pittsburgh, know my cure never fails, it would be
superfluous to make another such an nonneement
