worms their power to binder the election
of aria;. nun. We believe these men to
b e find true. We are confident that it
to sacrifice them ; and if we
wet; to consent to the measures set on foot
for that purpose, we should feel that we had
acted meanly. It makes no difference to
us that the means proposed are capable of
being presented in a specious light. Under
ordinary circumstances, we might have no
objection to being fully governed by the
General Assembly; and yet, when we know
that it is intended to work out a private end
through the Assembly—when a minority
impudently attempts to drive us—we resist.
We feel that we are as loyal to the whole
and undivided Church, in declining her
government in part for the present, as they
are who seek that government for their
masons. People must have a strange notion
of us, if they suppose we are to be driven by
the el tmot of a minority, whose cooperation
we can afford to want, to do what they in
tend shall work evil to us-
2. It is said by Dr. Rice, in his declina.
ture, and echoed by various other parties,
that the only way to secure harmony in this
Seminary matter, is, to band it over to the
ksembly. But it will be seen, that when
the transfer is demanded in the manner
stated above, harmony cannot be looked for.
One fourth of the seven Synods say, in
effect, " come to our terms, and 'sacrifice
your best men, or we will fight; and then
you will be the authors of agitation and
division !" Peace never was secured on
such terms, and never will be, not even in
the Millennium; fur probably, then, minor
ities will be a little more respectful to ma
j Jrities. It is not likely that then, one
fourth will call three-fuurths a faction.
3. Many of us doubt the expediency of
.I...sembly control, in the case of any Semi
nary. We have been looking on, for some
years, and have seen that the Assembly has
really done very little for the Seminaries
under its care. We, who are old enough,
remember the difficulties of Allegheny Sem
inary; and we cannot forget the almost lud
icrous gravity with which the Assembly
used to vote so many thousand dollars year
to the Seminary, if she could get the money 1
Her friends had to raise the part of it that
she did get, and iu her own region, too—and
the Professors went without tke remainder.
We did not blame the Assembly for not
giving what she had not; but we never
could see what was exactly the advantage of
being allowed to do that which we had an
undoubted inherent right to do. The re
sponsibility, after all, lay on the Synods in
that neighborhood; they sustained it; they
are yet completing their duty in that re
spect; and we cannot see a 'thine' b that they
have done, which they would not have done,
had the Assembly never had a meeting since
1830. The friends of that Seminary have
as fully governed it as if there had been no
Assembly; and it has been well governed.
If its Directors have the harmless fancy to
be appointed by the Assembly, we have no
objection; and when we are members of
the Assembly, we shall cheerfully vote for
such men as the Synods of that neighbor
hood wish. We should count it an intoler
able insult and offense to do otherwise, un
less we were also ready to vote for the
excision of those Synods for heresy.
4. Some of us contend that it is a mistake
to give the Assembly any more power over
a Seminary or flolleae, than that included
in the meaning of the phrase, " review and
control" Except as it is a Court of appeal,
the Assembly's whole constitutional power
consists of the right to review and control.
This right she always has. If any Synod
allow its College to propagate heresy or cause
disorder, any member of the Church may
memorialize the Assembly in regard to it;
and the Assembly has the right, and it is its
duty, to take measures to abate the nuisance.,
Sc also, of Theological Seminaries. We
cannot deny the Assembly this right, even
if no action were ever bad to place the Semi
nary under its care to any extent. This
right is enough for every useful purpose. It
is, in fact, all that a body so constituted can
exercise, except as a mere matter of form.
This we are all willing to submit to; nay,
we covet it, whether it come with or with
out express covenant. And yet, we are
charged with being disloyal to, and distrust.
ful 01, the Assembly !
5. We are charged with a design to agi-
tate and divide the Church. Now, were
we to yield to the present clamor, and place
our Seminary under the Assembly, with
vacant chairs, and then go to the Assembly
with a re•notnination of the present profes
sors by threelourths of the seven Synods,
the party now in opposition would seek to
tuove South and East to prevent their elec
tion; would fiercely declare that their elec
tion aas inconsistent with peace; would
pr,duce excitement on the very questio vex.
tau, which they wish to avoid; and would
du more to agitate and divide, than we think
we shall do for fifty years. It is because
we wish to avoid agitation in the Assembly,
that we decline to carry our disputes there.
Let theta bear the blame who continue to
agitate. We are not agitators. We are
cuntent with thiugs as they are. We mean
to set ourselves right in the public mind,
and then, with dignified composure, to let
iur opponents agitate till they are tired of
it. We shall simply take care not to give
them the opportunity to do so in the Gen
eral Assembly.
6. In addition, I will quote a part of the
letter of " A Ruling Elder," addressed to
Dr Iran Rensselaer, on the subject of Syn
odical control. I may have referred to some
of his ideas already; but yet, I beg that you
will allow me space enough to quote from
him that which will fully represent his no
tion of the matter. Referring, more slightly
than be might have done, to the examples
of the South-Eastern Seminaries, which are
under Synodical control, and of which no
uue complains, he says :
"Independently of the sectional question,
which, without doubt, in times past has been the
leading consideration with the extreme South
against surrendering their two Seminaries to a
general control, there may be, with reflecting
minds, au intelligent and well founded preference
for Synodical supervision. As in civil government
taxation and representation should go together,
so iu this ease, the Synods contributing the cost
of a Seminary, may rightfully claim over it a
more real control than can be exercised by the
representatives from remote, and, in many cases,
newly formed Presbyteries, in the General As
sembly. For, be it understood, the ratio of
actual control is often far less, and especially so
with the new Synods, than the ratio of numbers
in a popular body of near three hundred mem
bers. Those who have witnessed the small circle
near the Moderator's chair, within which results
in the Assembly are generally shaped, will under
kund the remark. Advantoges of voice, of com
mending presence, of long and regular service in
the Assembly, cod of influential official position,
carry the chief control. F rom the very necessity
the case in a large body, and not by design, is
it so. The remakable debate of the last AsK,m
lily, upon overture number twenty eight, illus
trates this view, and must strengthen the policy
of Synodical control, The unwieldy character of
t t i
• Assembly, even now, was dwelt upon, and its
future moldier, considered frightful. A distin
,,aisi,ed member " thought justice could not be
- ctrFd in a judicial case, before the Assembly,
s it is now constituted." A reduction of repro
sentation is already foreshadowed as inevitable,
and a basis proposed of one minister and one
elder for each fifty ministers, to be chosen by the
Synods. This rule would yet further diminish
the relative influence of small Presbyteries, dis
tant from centres of influence, and everywhere
be viewed as, at hest, but a choice of evils. It is
easy to perceive that a General Assembly so con
stituted, however well adapted to judicial bust.
ness, end to the varied missionary work of the
Church, could give little satisfaction in the man
agement of a Seminary. It would necessarily
become in time but a convocation of leading men,
with which the great mass of the ministry and
eldership, having no participation, could have
little abiding sympathy. The slightest approach
toward an oligarchy excites apprehension in the
mind of every sound Presbyterian, in whose
views of Church government the parity of the
ministry is a fundamental idea. That "power is
ever stealing from the many to the few," is a
maxim whose warning should be heeded in ec
clesiastical as in civil government.
ti But I will not turn aside now to discuss the
plans to which the enlargement of the Assembly
may drive the Church. ►fie may confidently trust
in the care of our Great Head, that this Supreme
Judicatory will ever be a bond in doctrine and
order, and by its valuable Boards, and other legiti
mate agencies, will ever carry on the great work
of the Church for the glory of our Lord. But
are not these embarrassments, thus foreseen as in
evitable in the constitution of the Assembly,
arising from our vast territorial expansion, deeply
suggestive in the matter before us? Do they not
point to the Synods as a legitimate and efficient
agency that may well be trusted with the Church's
educational work, including theological training?
The lesson is in many respects the same as in the
development of our republican system of civil
government, to which Presbyterianism has been
likened; that is, general principles and measures,
and exterior relations, in which the parts cannot
act separately without collision, are the legiti
mate sphere of the consolidated government, but
all else for the separate local governments. The
principle of separate, local, representative govern-
ment, perfectly independent in its place and sphere,
even down to the township of six miles square,
is a pervading principle, of our republican form
of government, and the secret of its success over
so wide a territory. The discriminating mind of
De Tocqueville, after careful observation, seized
upon this idea as explanatory of the successful
working of our complicated and extended govern
mental machinery.
"To the Synods, then let the Church look for her
colleges, and her future theological schools—to
the Synods, as the highest judicatory into which
a general and satisfactory representation can
hereafter be carried—the Synods where every
minister attends with and elder from each church
and where, from the reasonable numbers, the
humblest can be Award and felt—to the Synods,
then, which can be divided and multiplied in
definitely, as they become inconveniently large,
let the Church trust with confidence the training
of her future ministry, except as heretofore pro
vided.
"In some quarters entitled to the 'highest re
spect, the opinion is entertained that all Theolog
ical Seminaries of the Church should be under
the control of the Assembly. Has it a logical
basis ? If in the election of directors and pro
fessors, the wishes of the Synods supporting the
Seminary be regarded, it is a mere form ; if dis
regarded, it is unjust. If a more efficient and
satisfactory business management be expected
from our overgrown and yet enlarging Assembly,
as now constituted, meeting often at points very
distant, the idea is against allanalogy and mani
festly unsound. Or if it were assumed in ad
vance, that two or seven Synods may depart from
the dodtrinal Standards of the Church, and there
fore must be held in leading strings, the sus
picion would be degrading to such Synods: we
presume it is not entertained.
"If disposed more fully to discuss the question
of Synodical control, in contrast with that of the
Assembly, these thoughts might well be urged.
The Assembly is a body ever changing its mem
bers; the Synods are chiefly composed of the
same ministers from year to year, and change
slowly :—the Assembly divides its attention be
tween several Seminaries; the Synods controlling
a Seminary give it their chief attention :—the
majority of the Assembly have no special inter
est, and but little personal knowledge, of any one
Seminary; controlling Synods have a deep in
terest in, and a minute acquaintance with their
only Seminary; three-fourths of any Assembly
know but little of the field from which an indi
vidual Seminary must receive support, in funds,
to begin with, and in students afterwards ; know
little of the Directors whom they appoint, whose
names are read in a formal row and elected en
masse, without even the invidious daring of rival
candidates, so summarily defeated at Lexington.
The great mass of the Assembly can learn little
of the doings of previous years from the reading
of a brief report, of which many members hear
but little; and can know little of the doctrines
taught in a Seminary whose students they
rarely see. How few Georgia pastors can
judge of the theology taught at Allegheny?
How few Pennsylvania pastors ever hear a
student from Columbia? On all these points,
Synodical control has the advantage. The
members of each Synod are comparatively per
manent on the field ; they hold their seats not by
delegation and alternation, but at each session of
the body ; they know well the ground and its re
sources ; they select well the few Directors fall
ing to the part of each, and have frequent oppor
tunities of conferring with them; they hear an
nually the report from their Seminary, and
receive as their probationers, and then to pastoral
fields around them, the sons there trained for the
ministry. Nor is it easy to estimate too highly
the influence to promote education, furnished by
the very presence of educational facilities. I
verily believe that the suitable establishment of
this Seminary, as the child of the North-Western
Synods, will draw forth from this region, within
ten years, double the number of ministers that
would otherwise recognize a call of Providence to
that work. This result always follows the estab
lishment of good schools. In short, the only ad
vantage of the Assembly's Seminaries—viz., re
cognition in the Minutes, and the privilege of
making reports and having them printed—belong
also to the Synodical Seminaries ; while the o.ly
disadvantage of the latter, their control by
separate bodies rather than one, has not been
found practically mischievous, and is far more
than compensated by advantages on the other
I hand.
" Conceding the success of Princeton and Alle
gheny, and the gratifying promise of Danville, we
yet maintain that the North-Western Synods have
acted wisely in establishing the principle of Syn
odical control. The circumstances are diverse.
Around and near these old centres, where Presby
terianism has the growth of an hundred years,
are found leading minds, whose well•deserved in
fluence, in a large degree, shapes the Assembly's
action. The wishes of contributing Synods are
thus made controlling. These young and border
Synods could exercise no such influence."
7. I do not mean often to trouble you, or
your readers, on this subject. What I now
ask you to publish, is necessary to the just
defence of three-fourths of these Synods.
This is my apology for the otherwise intoler
able length of this communication.
Western Correspondence.
Du. M'KINNEY :—Southern Illinois has
always been regarded ai the most fertile por
tion of the State, and unexcelled, perhaps,
by any portion of the United States. Its
resources have, however, never been fully
developed. Its fertile soil was not opened
up by the plow of the cultivator, because
no facilities were found to convey to market
the superabundant crops. Schools were not
established upon an efficient basis, and con
sequently were almost useless, and churches
had but a poor support from a people com
paratively 'unenlightened, many of whom
adhered to the theory of employing only
"untamed, no pay preachers," and with
whom it was a sufficient condemnation to
say of a minister, that he had "been to Col
lege." For these reasons, perhaps, more
than because it was well known " there was
much corn there," Southern Illinois became
known throughout the West as "Egypt,"
and going thither was spoken of as a
"descent into Egypt."
Latterly, however, a great change has
taken place. The Illinois Central Railroad
has inaugurated a new era in the history of
this most wealthy district. It has opened
up its vast, uncultivated tracts of fertile
prairie to the view of the traveler in search
of a Western home. It has carried into
those prairies hundreds of hardy Eastern
laborers, inured to toil and trained to eeon-

omy on the granite hills of New Hampshire, or
upon the steep sides of the Green Mountains.
It has, with the settler, brought the school
and the Church, and all the literalizing and
enlightening sentiments of men of intelli
gence, education, and refinement. It has,
in short, wrought a radical change in the
•appearance of things, and your readers may
now regard the darkness of Egypt as
dissipated, and the bondage of her sons
broken.
Old School Presbyterians hare had, for
years, their churches in this part of the
State, and a noble band of self-denying la
borers have struggled on in the midst of the
darkness, and under heavy discouragements,
striving to keep alive a knowledge of the
truth, under circumstances which perhaps a
Pennsylvania pastor may faintly picture to
himself, but which it would be unreasonable
to expect him fully to realize. These
churches and their faithful pastors are now,
we trust, to witness a bright fulfillment of
their dreams during the long night which
has hung over them. One of these pastors,
who has himself "borne the burden and
heat of the day;" writes in a recent com
munication : " Our darkened land is open
ing to the light, Southern Illinois is invi
ting attention, and emigration is beginning
to turn this way. The real merits of this
portion of the State are, I verily believe,
not much longer to be overlooked. There is
a waking up, a spirit of hopefulness, and a
begun progress, which, I trust, are ie har
bingers of brighter days for us. Churches
are being organized, schools established and
sustained, and all the usual manifestations
of life and growth are becoming apparent."
The same brother writes of the organization
of a thriving little church recently, at Salem,
the county seat of Marion County. It was
organized a few weeks prior to the meeting
of the Presbytery of Kaskaskia, to which
it belongs, and bad at the time of organiza
tion thirteen members. The Presbytery
subsequently met with them, and ten more
had at this time, cast in their lot with them;
and the brother adds, "from all that I could
learn, as many more (twenty-three,) will
soon unite with this little band." Brother
Mack, a licentiate under care of Kaskaskia
Presbytery, has charge of them, and no
doubt is entertained of their ultimate suc
cess, under the blessing of God. Thus,
likewise, in other parts of that portion of the
State, the work progresses. Let the East
give them laborers; for the " fields are white
to the harvest," and the God of the harvest
is opening up the door for the reapers.
A destructive fire has recently occurred in
Chicago, attended with an unusual loss of life.
Severa large stores, with their contents, were
consumed, and about thirty lives are supposed
to have been lost. That, however, which
gives a melancholy interest to this event,
with tbe Christian, is the character of many
of those who fell victims to the flames. It
seems that the upper rooms in the stores
were occupied by clerks as lodging-rooms,
and they were in the habit of admitting
abandoned females, and often spending the
night in drunkenness and revelry. This
was the case on the night of the fire. It
appears in evidence before the Coroner, that
there was much drinking and noise, and no
doubt many retired to their beds intoxicated,
and only awoke in eternity. How dreadful
such an exit from the world, and what a
warning to the living. 0, that men would
lay these lessons to heart. Nearly all the
pastors of the city preached sermons rela
ting to the fire, upon the following Sabbath,
and sought to impress upon their hearers
the solemn truths evidently set forth by the
terrible providence. One pastor discoursed
from these words : " Or those eighteen upon
whom the town of Siloam felt and slew
them : suppose ye that they were sinners
above all them that dwelt in Jerusalem ?" In
illustrating this text, it was remarked that
events such as there described, and such as
had furnished the special occasion of his dis
course, " were not so much to be regarded
as a judgment upon the dead, as a warning
to the living." A very true and just re
mark.
The secular press of Chicago has made a
most savage at.ack upon Dr. Rice, since his
arrival in that city. The Tribune leads
off in its scurrilous abuse, manifesting a
great want of principle, and an utter igno
rance of Dr. Rice's position, and the posi
tion of our Church, upon the subject of
slavery. Chicago, it is well known, is a
strong Republican city; and the leading
Republican papers seem determined to carry
on a war of extermination against every
thingand every body happening to come from
a certain section of our country. It was
Dr. Rice's misfortune to come from St.
Louis. All the Abolition prints were in
dustrious in circulating the falsehood that
he was a pro•slavery man, and came North
for the express purpose of disseminating his
peculiar views ' upon that subject. This
slander has been rung in every variety of
tone, in the radical sheets about the West
ern metropolis, to the entire satisfaction, no
doubt, of its originators. Dr. Rice is, how
ever, too well known to be injured by such
attacks. We will probably hear from him
in a few days, in reply.
The Dr. expects to issue the first number
of his Monthly Expositor, December first.
It will be devoted to the exposition and de
fence of the doctrines of the Bible more in
extenso than can well be the case in the
weekly journal. It will, of course, not in
terfere with the papers now in the field.
The Autumn has thus far been, with us,
unusually mild. All articles of ood, both
for man and beast, are to be obtained at
greatly reduced prices; and, notwithstand
ing the stringency in money matters, we do
not anticipate a very severe Winter.
May the Lord overrule all our reverses to
his glory and the good' of souls. Already
we hear of some seriousness, and some re
vivals. May they continue.
Yours, &0.,
For the Preebyterlan Banner and Advocate.

keeping their notes at par in the cities.
THE Mrssounx Banks have obtained the sane•
Lion of the Legislature for their suspension .of

LOIIISIANA.—The Democratic State ticket is
elected. Most of the members of Congress,
elect, and of the Legislature, are of the same
party.
MARYLAND.—Thcre were election riots in Balti

It is stated that Col. John C. Freemont has
purchased the Merced and Mariposa Canal, for
the sum of $25,000, and goes East for the pur
pose of procuring sufficient capital to push the en
terprise to completion.
The Stockton Artesian Well has been bored to
a depth of nine hundred and twenty-three feet,
and although a considerable stream rises to the
surface,•the work is to be continued.
THE OFFICIAL VOTE OF CALIFORNIA.—The total
official vote of California, for Governor,
is 93,643,
of which Mr. Weller received 63,122; Mr. Stanly
21,040; and Mr. Bowie 19,481.
The Constitutional Convention rose, after a ses
sion of five weeks. It borrowed, of course, from
the other States, particularly from Michigan, In
diana, and lowa.
The Governor's term of office is fonr years ; and
he is Superintendent of Public Instruction, with
a yearly salary of only fifteen hundred dollars.
The Secretary is to be both Secretary and Auditor
of Public Accounts, salary the same, as the Gov
ernor. The Treasurer is to get the munificent
sum of eight hundred dollars per annum. The
four Judges, being both Supreme and Circuit
Judges, are to be elected for six years, and have
a salary each of two thousand dollars per annum.
The question of a slave or free State, is submitted
to a vote of the people; also, the question of
whether free negroes and Chinamen shall be
allowed to come to, and reside in, the country.
The viva voce vote is retained; but it only exists,
constitutionally, until the Legislature sees fit to
repeal it.
The sessions of the Legislature are to be bien
nial, and are limited to orty days; but the Gov
ernor may call extra sessions, not to exceed
twenty days at any one session. The total yearly
expenses of the three departments of the govern
ment are estimated at the amazingly economical
sum of seventeen thousand dollars. If the ma •
chine works (?) it will be one of the cheapest
State governments in existence on this continent.
It is stated that Walker's object in stationing
troops at Lecompton was not exactly to protect
the Convention ' nor to watch the proceedings of,
and be prepared for any action his pro.slavery
enemies might make against him ; but because,
the Legislature having a large Free State majori
ty, they will probably repeal obnoxious laws, and
depose office holders, in which case a repetition
of the bloody scenes in the early history of the
Territory was apprehended.
A Constitution will be submitted to the people,
with a "slavery clause," which will be objection
able to the Free State men, but too moderate for
pro-slavery ultraists.
A letter to the North American, dated Law
rence Oct. 29th says :
Matters are again assuming a quiet form, and
the political horizon is less ominous of discord
than on some other occasions.
A great change has taken place with the people
in regard to Gen. Walker and Secretary Stanton.
Public feeling has been vasoillating for a long
time, but now it seems settled. and all parties show
a disposition of doing them justice. Many are
open in their praise. The conservative of all par
ties, those who desire the preservation of peace,
and wish to see an end of this anarchical state of
society, are exceedingly well pleased with his
course, becanse they see the end of the present
difficulties, and the dawning of a brighter future.
Certificates of election have been issued to the
elected members to the Territorial Legislature
from several of the districts. This body will
stand twenty-four Free State to fifteen Democrats.
The Council stands nine Free State to four Dem
ocrats.
The county and township officers are coming
forward and qualifying. Many who have hereto•
fore repudiated the entire territorial code, which
they have invariably pronounced bogus, are now
accepting office under those laws, and some of
them are now executing them.
This Institution for young ladies is now open
for the reception of students, and we know of no
other Seminary where young ladies can receive a
more thorough or better education. The build
ing is large and commodious, situated upon a
beautiful eminence, overlooking the town, and the
walks around the building are beautifully and
artistically laid out. Mr. Curry, the principal,
is a gentleman eminently qualified in every par
ticular, to take charge of so important and re
sponsible a position. Besides being a ripe and

Fever and Ague
A ease of Eight 'Maths' Standing cured by A.m.-
have's Rolland Bitters
Michael Kelly, No. 117 Seventh, near Grad
Street, says :
" Last July, while running on the river, on a
cotton boat plying between Natchez and New Or
leans, I was taken with Fever and Ague. For
eight long months I suffered with this dreadful
disease. The greater part of this time I was
unable to work, and spent at least fifty dollars
for different medicines, but found no permanent
relief. Three weeks ago, one of my friends in
sisted upon my trying Bcerhave's Holland Bitters,
saying that a cure was guaranteed. After taking
it for one week, I must state, I was a sound man.
I have been at work now for two weeks, and
have had no return of the Chills and Fever what
ever."
I certify that the above statement is true.

Wood's Hair Restorative.
Among all preparations for the hair that have
been introduced as infallible, none has ever given
the satisfaction or gained the popularity that Prof.
Wood's Hair Restorative now bas. His Restora
tive has passed the ordeal of innumerable fash
ionable toilets, and the ladies, wherever they have
tested it, pronounce it a peerless article. They
find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates a
fresh growth—that it fully restores the vegetative
power of the roots on the . denuded places, and
causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis
solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness,
restores the hair to its original color when gray
ness has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre,
imparts the softness and flexibility of silk to the
hair, and keeps it always luxuriant, healthy, and
in full vigor.—R". Y. Tribune.

The steamer Canada brings European news to
the 24th of October. There had been no later
arrivals from India. The work of enlistment for
the Army, and of orgtinizing an effective Militia
for home defence, was actively progressing.
Financial matters, however, bad still a strong
hold upon the publie mind, bnt the tendency to a
panic was not so strong. The Bank of England
had advanced the rate of interest to eight per
cent. This had checked the exportation of specie.
The funds were steady, with a tendency upward ;
and the money market was comparatively quiet,
though still there was a heavy demand at the
Bank.
Lord Macaulay hed been elected High Steward
of Cambridge.
The papers continue to publish lengthy speeches
by prominent men, on the affairs of India. Amongst
others, the Duke of Cambridge addressed the citi
zens of Sheffield, on the occasion of laying the
foundation stone of the Crimean Monument. He
urged stern justice to the mutineers, and stated
that recruiting was progressing in a perfectly in
credible manner.
Mr. Gladstone made a speech in Liverpool, upon
the Educational question. Ile looked upon pat
ronage as the curse and plague of the country,
and hoped for the day when nearly every office
will be held up in the face of the country for the
best candidate.

Dow, by the temperance men, at Liverpool, on the

There had been a monetary pressure on the banks
of Ireland.
P alti 0
Money matters were stringent, and prospects
somewhat gloomy. A forced circulation of paper
was slightly probable.
The Daily Hem' Paris correspondent writes
that the Governor of the Bank of Franco went to
Campaign'e on Tuesday, prepared to ask the tm
peror for a. decree giving forced currency to bank
notes. It was not likely that the request would
be granted.
The bullion in the Bank of France was stated,
upon reliable authority, to have decreased thirty
millions of francs since the last monthly returns.
Failures were confidently expected in Faris.
Gold was being taken from the Bank of France
for shipment to America.
Prussia.
The King of Prussia was regaining his health
very slowly—indeed it is inferred that his physi
cians, when officially called upon, will have to
give such a certificate in regard to the probability
of the King being able to resume his monarchical
functions, as will warrant the constitutional as
sumption of the regency by the Prince of Prussia.
Turkey.
A telegraphic dispatch, dated Jaseay, October
19, states that the Divan had that day come to a
resolution to recognize the rights of the Porte, and
in favor of a union of the Principalities under a
constitutional sovereign, to be chosen from ens of
the Western dynasties ; a representative form of
government, and a neutrality of State. The Wal
lachian Divan had arrived at a similar result.

DIED—At his residence in Muskingum County,
Parry Township, Ohio, on the 2d of October,
Mr. JOHN WYCOFF, in the 65th year of his age.
The deceased was born in the "forks of
Yough.,'!, Allegheny County, Pa., on the sth of
March, 1793. The family farm was near Round
Hill church, where be spent his youth in agricul
tural pursuits. In the war of 'l2, when his
country called for soldiers to redress her wrongs,
he went a volunteer in the cavalry attached to
the squadron of Major Ball, under whose com
mand he fought in the battle of Massissinewa ,
and was amongst the foremost in the charge on
the morning of that eventful day. Whilst others
fell before and around him, his life was spared.
The Prince of Peace had yet work for him as a
soldier of the Cross. In 1817, having married
Susan Peairs, he removed to Ohio, improved the
farm, on which, with persevering industry, and
well directed economy, he reared in respectability
a large family. Shortly after his settlement in
Ohio, he united with the church of Pleasant Hill.
Some years afterwards a church was organized
in Norwich, and he transferred his membership
there, where he was elected and ordained a
Ruling Elder, in which capacity he continued
faithfully and acceptably to officiate until his
death. Hie last sickness was
, short and severe.
On Tuesday morning be was taken suddenly and
severely ill of cholera morbus, and on the next
Friday, about 5 P. M.. he left this world of trial
for one (as we trust,) of glorious reward. On
the next day his remains were interred in Nor
wich grave-yard, amidst an unusually large con
course of friends and neighbors. " Help, Lord,
for the godly man ceaseth ; foe the faithful fail
from among the children of men."

Sessions of eighteen weeks each, and commences on the bust
Wednesday in September. At the close of the dr et tweve
weeks there will be a public , examination of the pupils lin
their various studies, and a recess of two weeks given. As
this arrangement will give to the pupil the entire eighteen
