Western Correspondence
De. McKim.= :—How mysterious God's prove
idetices in reference to the aborigines of our
couatry, the poor Indians I They are melting
away like the frost before the rising sun. What
is the sin for which they are thus punished? Why
are they thus made the manifest subjects of God's
je,lgments ? These questions we cannot answer.
flute early history ie bid in obscurity. We know
not their origin, and of course oan say but little
al to their past; but their sad and certain future
we can predict with almost certain prescience.
They are evidently a doomed race, and must welt
away,before the onward march of the pale face
civilisation. Everything, however, at present con
nected with their welfare should claim our atten
tion. Nothing should be left undone to mitigate
their sufferings, and they should, above all, have
given to them the Gospel of peace, that Christian
ity may oast its benign light upon their fading
ranks. Our Church, with others, has been doing
something toward a payment of the debt our
country owes to the Indian ; but still there remains
much to be done by the Christian philanthropist
before that debt is fully cancelled.
These thoughts have been. suggested by the
recent passage, through this region, of delegates
from a Western tribe of Indians en route for
Washington, for the purpose of disposing of their
lands to the government, and removing near to
the setting sun. They are described as chiefs of
the Ponces tribe, now independent, but formerly
connected with the Omahas. Their lands lie
directly North of the territory 000upied by the
last named tribe, in whioh our Church has some
well known mission stations. The Ponces are
said to number at present about one thousand
souls, having suffered greatly by the small-pox
some months since. The names of the chiefs, now
on their way to Washington, are, Shu.da-kom
mon.ne, translated "Hard Walker;" Walsh soh
pi, or "Iron Whip ;" Gish•tah-teah gu or "Smoke
Man ;" Esh-nung-i•hug-gah or "He is my only
Friend;" Shu-kob-bi or "Threatening Clouds;"
and Tah•tung-gcs•no•shi or "Standing Buffalo."
The gentlemen boasting these "high sounding"
titles are, for the most part, old men, and all noble
specimens of the Indian uncontaminated by the
vices of civilised life. The " Iron Whip "is the
oldest, is represented as a fine orator, with a deep
sonorous voice, and is expected to make Mr. Bu
chanan a fine speech, if spared to meet him.
He is my only Friend " is said, although quite
a gay young man, fond of dress and show, to be
the bravest warrior of the tribe. Wet are sad
when we reflect that in a very few years, within
the lifetime of many now living probably, the
Indian will be known only to history. Let us do
for them, in a religions point of view, all that oan
be done, while their sands are rapidly running
away.
It is expeoted that at this session of Congress
a new territory will be organised, lying West of
Minnesota, to be called Dakota. It is expected
that the Missouri and the White Barth rivers will
form its Southern and Western boundaries. There
are at present in the limits contemplated for this
new territory some-four thousand white inhabi
tants, although, as yet, the only land in the
territory ceded to the United States, is a strip
some twenty-Six miles in width by one hun
dred and fifty in length, situated East of the
Big Sioux, and West of the Minnesota. This of
course is the only land open for settlement until
a treaty is made with the Indians ; still, if Con
gress organises a territory here, settlers will soon
flock in by thousands and the land will be speed
fly possessed. Let the Gospel go with them. Young
men of our Theological Seminaries have an eye upon
these opening and expanding flack of labor. ' Let
the Gospel be the moulding ?agent in forming
mind and founding institutions in our new terri
tories, then the march of empire will be a blessing
and not a curse.
Many of our Western States, as you are aware,
have inaugurated excellent common school aye.
tems,.and by liberal appropriations of moody and
lands they are nobly sustained. Wisconsin and
Illinois are said to have made as good provision
for educational purposes as any States in the
Union. One-sixteenth of all the land in Illinois
—.and I believe also in Wisoonsin—was set apart
for school purposes ; and in the first•named State
we have a free school system in succesaffil opera
tion, sustained by the proceeds from these lands,
supplemented by a tax of two mills upon the
dollar.
There is also, in Illinois, a State Normal Uni
versity, about to go into operation at Blooming
ton, with resources amounting to about $BOO,OOO.
Of this, $140,000 are to be expended in build
ings, grounds, and furniture, and the balance to
remain on interest as a permanent fond, the in
come of which is to meet the current expenses of
the Institution. A normal department is already
in successful operation. A " model farm" is to
be conducted in connexion with the school, and all
branches of practical science are to be taught in
the most thorough manner. So long as we thus
continue to look after our educational interests,
failing not to remember our religious obligations,
our free institutions may be regarded as safe.
We hear of considerable religious interest in
various parte of the West, in connexion with
churches of different denominations; increased
attendance, solemn audiences, and we trust, recep
tion of the truth.
Brother Erskine has reached his new field of
labor, Sterling, 111., where he has entered upon
his work with a good prospect of success. Ster
ling is a fine, thriving town, upon Rock River,
some sixtrfive miles from Rook Island, and about
one hundred and ten due-West. from Chicago.
With one of the finest water privileges in the
West, it is destined to be a place of much im
portance. We trust Brother E. will be enabled,
by the grace of God, to lay her foundations deep
and broad. The church is not large, but they
have a good house of worship, are out of debt,
and we trust will enter into the work with Bro.
E,, resolved in every way to hold up his hands.
We expect to be able soon to report the organi
zation of a church at Galva, 111., a thriving town
upon the Chicago and Burlington Railroad.
Bro. Marshall, a student of 'Danville—earnest,
active, and ardent—has been laboring here for
some months past, with marked, success, and it is
hoped that a church will soon be organized under
prospects of usefulness.
The weather is yet mild; and that very
respectable personage, "the oldest inhabitant,"
an appendage to every community, predicts for
the West "an open Winter," which means a
mixture of rain and snow, with no slight sprink
ling of glad sunshine and pleasant days.

The Crawford County Bank
Has been organized. Thomas Van Horne,
is President, and A. G. Pinney, Cashier. Six
men of that county and Biz In Buffalo, compose
the Board of Directors.
The Railroad Connexion
In our city, is likely to become a troublesome
affair. The Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne and. Chicago
Company, claim, by not of the Legislature, the
right to connect with the Pennsylvania Road.
This will require them to cross Penn Street. Our
Mayor refuses permissibn, and has informed Mr.
Cass, the President of the Company, that he will
arrest any persons who may attempt to lay the
rails. Mr. Cass replies that the work must be
done, by a compromise, if practicable; otherwise
by an authority of law. The public, for both
travel and transportation, need the crossing. It
will, doubtless, be made ; and it would be wise in
the city fathers to give their consent, securing in
the compromise, the proper and safe use of the
street to pedestrians, carriag es , tic.
A. Committee of Councils has just been appoint
ed, to arrange with the Company, if practicable,
for depressing the road and elevating the street, so
that the one shall pass over the other. We hope
the effort will be successful.
Congressmen must have their holidays. They
are quite as tenacious of their prescriptive claims
to this indulgence, as are our school boys ; and
with far less reason. The school boys, for months
before CHRISTMAS, have been bound down to hard
study, and rest has become a need, as well as a
pleasure; but Congressmen have then been in Sea
sion only for a few weeks, and have scarcely got
through with their gratulations. But they, like
the boys, are handsomely sustained, whether
they work or play. In the one ease, papa's
pocket is drawn upon; in the other, Uncle Sam
foots the bill.
The day on which Congress adjourned was en
livened by speeches from Senator Stuart, of Mich
igan, and Senator Broderick, of California, both
Democrats, and both opposed to the Executive
Kansas Policy. These are the only Senators of
that party who have yet come out distinctly with
Judge Douglas.
On the 28d, the President, in answer to the
Senate's call, sent in a mass of papers relative
to Kansas. Among, these were Secretary Case'
instructions to Gen. Denver, the New Secretary
of the Territory, and his reply to Gov. Walker's
letter which accompanied his resignation.
To Gen. Denver, Mr. Case says:
4 % I need hardly inform yon that your duty is
not intended to be confined to special occasions.
It extends of course to the protection of all citi
zens in the exercise of their just rights, and ap
plies to one legal election as well as another.
The Territorial Legislature doubtless convened on
the 7th inst., and while it remains in cession, its
meMbers are entitled to be secure and - free in
their deliberations. Its rightful action must also
be respected. Should it authorize an election by
the people for any purpose, this election should
-be held without interruption, no less than those
authorized by the. convention. While the peace
of the territory is preserved, and the freedom of
election is secured, there need be no fear of dis
astrous consequences."
This does"not look like a design to carry any
high-handed measure; and if the people • have
great wisdom and prudence to guide their, ardor,
all will be right, and speedily so. If they follow
unwise counsels, there may be delays and diffioul
ties ; but still, their institutions, sooner or later,
will be their own. In this land, no State can be
subjected to a constitution, or laws, other than
the people themselves choose ;.and to attempt by
either fraud or force to impose upon them, is
sheer folly. The success, in any such case, must
be very brief, though It may do great harm for
the time.
Mr. Case, in reply to Gov. Wallker, says :
" Whilst duty, therefore, forbids me to enter
into a controversial discussion with you upon the
various topios embraced by your argument, it is
proper I should make a remark upon a single
point. Yon state that the President has changed
his policy in regard to Kansas. And why this
allegation? Siniply because the convention of
Kansas have, in the exercise of the rights belong
ing to them, decided that they would not sub
mit the whole constitution to the people, although
they had submitted the all-important and danger
ous question of slavery."
The Secretary is perfectly right in declining a
discussion. If every officer who resigns, either
from choice or compulsion, might demand a
record of his reasons argued ad /ibitust; and if
there must be a response justifying the govern
ment, the public archives would be made to groan,
and the Secretary's time would be consumed.
Bat when the Secretary did respond to one
word of the Governor, it is to be regretted that
he did not meet the whole thought. The Conven
tion did not wholly submit " the all-important
and dangerous question of slavery" to the vote
of the people. They, in effect, submitted only
the question of the future introduction of slaves,
there to be retained. Both forms of the consti
tution secure the right of property in slaves, and
the holding of the slaves then in the territory,
and of their offspring.
That matter, however, seems to have beta laid
aside, as no longer important. Dispatches from
St. Louis state that, at the election on the 21st,
the pro-slavery constitution was carried by a
large majority. The dispatches are defective and .
indefinite. They speak of some places not voting,
other places casting but a small vote, and others
an immensely large vote. A few days more will
bring the correct state of affairs.
The State Legialaiure has adjourned. Its prin.
cipal transactions were,
1. A law submitting the Leoompton Constitu
tion to a vote of the whole people, on the 4th of
January, in three forms—first, the constitution
with slavery; second, the constitution without
slavery; third, against the constitution.
2. A. law providing severe penalties for false or
fraudulent election returns.
3. A militia law, which is thus briefly stated :
" This law repeals all the militia laws enacted
by the last Legislature. The new organization
takes place under the supervision of a board of
officers, consisting of one major general, eight
brigadier generals, one adjutant general, one in
spector general, one quartermaster general, one
commissary general, and one surgeon general.
These officers are elected 'by the Legislature.
The Governor of the territory is a member of the
board, and is commander-in-chief of the militia.
" This military board has power to organize,
equip, drill, and put into a serviceable shape, the
militia of the territory. A majority of the board
ore empowered to call out the militia in any
emPrgency, and to act independent of the com
mander-in-chid."
The first and second of the above were sanc
tioned by acting Governor Stanton; the third was
vetoed by him, but was enacted by a two-thirds
vote of the Legislature.
Affairs are hence still extremely complicated.
The election of the 4th, (or the sth, as some reports
have it,) will likely give the full strength of the
Free State men. General Denver has entered
upon his office as Secretary and Governor, and
will doubtless protect the election, as instructed.
The troubles at Fort Scott, where there has
been a party conflict, resulting in several deaths,
the frauds charged upon the election of the 21st,
the counter election of the 4th, the military or
ganiiation under Gen. Lane, the application for
the admission of Kansas as , a State, and the
Enabling Act proposed by Senator Douglas, will
keep Congress and the country excited Or weeks
to come.
NORTH-WIST.
In the House there was, before the adjournment,
quite an animated . discussion on the subject of
It arose on a resolution which stated that
war was urged by the territory against the United
States, and authorized the Committee on Terri
tories to inquire into the propriety of ejecting Mr.
Bornbisel, the sitting delegate, from the House.
The resolution was adopted by a considerable
majority.
The latest news from the expedition against
Urea is more favorable than were the previous
dispatches. The troops had concentrated at Fort
Bridger. They had a sufficiency of provisions, and
there was about snow enough to prevent the grass
from being burned, and thus to keep the pasture
from being destroyed by the marauding Mormons.
Col. Johnston, who commands the expedition,
thinks that the communication 'from Brigham
Young to Col. Alexander, and from Elder Taylor
to Capt. Marcy, and the orders of D. Wells, com
mander of the Mormons, and the acts of the Leg
islative Assembly of the last session, show a
matured and settled design on their part to bold
and occupy the territory independent and irre
epective of the United States.
Mr. himion, the United States Minister in
France, has sent his letter of resignation to the
President. This is said to be of compulsion,
rather than of choice, Mr. Buchanan having sig
nified that such a course would be, to him, agree
able. Some of Mr. Mason's friends complain,
because they were very influential in obtaining
for . Mr. Buchanan the vote of the Virginia dele
gation, at the Cincinnati Convention. But really,
Washington
THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
there were very many persons very active at that
time and place, in procuring Mr. Buchanan's
nomination, and afterward; in securing his elec
tion ; and to reward them all, or to reward their
friends, with offices, is utterly impossible. Men,
in all such cases, should work on principle, then
a consciousness of rectitude would be their reward
—a compensation of which they could not be
deprived.
The FILIBUSTERING MOVEMENT ON GENERAL
WALKER, Against Nicaragua, has received an awful
reverse. The General and one hundred and fifty
of his men have been captured by Commodore
Paulding, of the frigate Wabash, and sent home.
This stroke, so prompt and efficient, will go far
to remove from the Executive the charge of com
plicity with Walker in his wicked enterprise.
California.
NEW YORK, December 28.—The steamship
Northern bight has arrived, with California dates
to the sth inst. She brings $2,000,000 in gold.
Among her passengers is General Walker, who,
with one hundred and fifty of his men, were cap
tured by Commodore Paulding, of the United
States frigate Wabash. The General is on parole.
The men were placed on board the United States
sloop-of-war Saratoga, to be conveyed to Norfolk.
Walker delivered himself to Marshal ilynders,
who has made arrangements to accompany the ,
prisoner to Washington City tomorrow, in order
to ascertain the intentions of the President. ,
The lake and river steamers on the San Juan
have been handed over to Garrison & Morgan.
These steamers had been captured by General
Walker, but were retaken by an expedition from
the- Wabash.
' Fort Castillo had also been captured by General
Walker, and a party of fifty Americans, under
Col. Anderson, still held possession of it, as well
as the river San Juan. Anderson has a supply of
provisions for three months o with six pieces of
artillery and an abundance of ammunition.
The expedition that captured General Walker
and his men consisted of three hundred and fifty
men, landed from the frigate, Wabash.
At Greytown Commodore Paulding arrived on
the 6th, and soon received news that the filibus
ters under Anderson had surprised the garrison at
Castillo, and taken all the lake steamers.
In company with the Wabash came the English
line-,of-battle-ship Brunswick, and English steamer
Leopard. Next day the U. S. steamer Fulton,
from Boca Del Toro, came into port, but as the
rain came down in torrents, with a heavy sea out
side, r, nothing was done. Commodore Pudding
had sent word to Walker that he considered him a
pirate, and would take him and all his men pris
oners. Walker sent Capt. Ferguson on board the
Wabash to tell the Commodore that he should re
sist to the last. This was on the Bth, and Capt.
Ferguson was , detained onboard the Wabash until
the marines and sailors were sent ashore. These,
united with the men from the Fution and Saratoga,
made n foroe of seven hundred and fifty men, four
hundred and fifty on the point and three hundred
in the boats. The force on shore surrounded the
'filibusters' camp, and the boats advanced to the
head-quarters of the pirate.chief. An officer
thereupon jumped on shore and called upon
Walker to haul down his Sag and, surrender to
the United States. After all his boasting, the
man of destiny made no resistanee, but surren
dered himself and his whole force."
The whole affair did not occupy ten minutes.
The flag was hauled down, and Walker carried a
prisoner on board the Fulton. Just as the steam
er Morgan came down the river she was immedi
ately surrounded by armed boats and taken pos
session of for the United States. She was under
command of Debrisoot, an old filibuster, with
Mr. McDonald, an agent of Garrison and Morgan,
on board.
There were also on the steamer forty or. fifty
Costa Ricans, taken prisoners by Anderson at
Castillo, and on board the steamer La Virgin.
As soon as the filibusters were made prisoners,
the English steamer Leopard left for Jamaica.
Heavy rains had commenced falling in °abn
nia, reviving trade, and imparting new vigor to
mining. operations.
Six hundred Chinese have left San. Franoisoo in
vessels bound to China ports.
Martinez has been elected President of Nica
ragua, and he is making active preparations for
an energetic war on Costa Rica. He bas sent a
force of 400 men against Col. Anderson, for the
purpose of re-capturing Fort Castillo.

Headache and Debility.
Mr. Silas J. Liscomb, of Birmingham, says:
" I have found in Bcerhave's Holland Bitters a
remedy for Headache and Debility. My wife has
also used it with the greatest benefit.",
Mr. A. B. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also re
marks that he has experienced much relief from
its use for Headache.
Take a half tea-spoonful three times a day, 'an
hour before meals. Eat moderately, and then of
wholesome food, and you will find this is really a
remedy for Sick and Nervous Headache, Weak

perfectly simple in composition, it may be taken
without fear by the invalid. Possessing a fine

India.
The latest mails from india, represent things
still as hopeful. English troops wereAfTiving at
the rate, of two thousand a week,cand:were being
pushed toward the seat of conflict. The follow
ing, from the London Time*, presents the condi
tion of affairs atLaoknow
Happily, the anxiety caused by the late intelli
gence from India has not been of long duration.
Another series of telegrams reached us yesterday,
with news from Bombay , up to the 17th of No
umber. The position of things, as described in
the late dispatches,' was as follows i "Generals
Ontram and Havelock were at Imola:tow, with
some fourteen hundred effective men, besides the
women and children of the Residency, SOMA five
hundred men, with a number of sick and wounded,
and all the baggage, were at Altunbagh, three
miles short of the town. ',Ranew itself was sur
rounded by the enemy, and unable" to `communi
cate even with Alumbagh, while, as far as the
latter place, the road was quite open from °awn
pore, and more than one convoy of provisions had
lately entered. The great anxiety was, of course,
for the safety of the unfoitunate- 'garrison' at
Lneknow ; as for the speedydeaths:don of the
enemy, no one in the Presidency felt the slightest
doubt about it, and there was rather a feeling of
joy that from Gwalior and Delhi, and other quar
ters, the whole crew were congregating in one
spot, where they might be crushedate a blow.
We may take it for granted that Sir win
Campbell has made his way to the city,, ; and was
strong enough to fight through it with less com
parative loss than Havelock and Outrara. By
the middle of November the force that had reach
ed Lucknow must have amounted to ten thousand
men. Supposing the Residency and Alumbagh
garrisons to have numbered one ;thousand five
hundiedmore, between eleven Oilman& and twelve
thousand men might have been brought into the
field. Those who remember the tales of Assaye
andlilleattee, or even go no further back than the
events of the present year, will readily believe
that such a force will easily have vanquished any
number of treacherous Sepoys who- may have
dared to oppose it. That Lucknow, was relieved
at the time 'we mention, and that those who have
been - exposed to nearly six months of hourly peril"
are now in safety, is what we may without pre
sumption hope.
From the rest of India the acoonnteare equally
satisfactory. The country was settling down.

Dran—At Now Orleans, on the 12th day of Sep
' -
tember 1857, in the 26th year of his age, TitOMMI
CZARS COPES: ‘.
He was the son of Mr Thomas P . . Copes, of.
St. Charles, Mo., and grandson of the Rev.
Joseph Copes, who was for many years pastor of
the united churches, of Lewes, Cold Spring, and
Indian River, Sussex. County, Delaware. Bereft
of his parents while a youth, he becaine a mem
ber in the family of his uncle, Dr. J. S. Copes, of
New Orleans. Four years ago he united in the
communion of the Church, and lie ever onward
maintained his profesaion. He was consistent in
his conduct, and, ardent in his devotions ; an ex
ample to the young.
Dzaz—December Ist, at the residence of her
brother,Wet. Sterling. Jr., Mrs. *Jelin Jammu,
aged 4years and 6 months. ,
Much might be said. of the deep-toned, fervent
piety of the deceased, •as exhibited during many
years of earnest, faithful consecration to , her Re
deemer, and which was so impressively mani
fested amid tie protracted languor and suffering
through which she passed to her &nal rest. Her
faith in Jesus was firm unto the end. Many pre
cious seasons of communion with her Saviour,
and many sweet foretastes of her coming blessed
ness, were vouchsafed to her here below, before
the messenger was sent to bid her come up
higher. " For her to live was Christ; for her to
die was gain."
Dian—On the 10th Nov., at the residence of her
husband, in Latrobe, Pa., Mrs. ANNA ROSANNA B.
COULTBIL, wife of Dr. W. B. Coulter, (formerly
Miss Belch.) aged 82 years.
The subject or this communication deserves
more than a passing notice ; inasmuch as in the
demise of Mrs. Coulter society loses one of its
chief adornments, and an affectionate husband a
devoted wife.' Her disease was consumption of
the lungs, and at intervals during her long ill
,
nese gave hopes of her ultimate recovery—the
disease changing its attacks in many different
ways, like the varying hues of the rainbow.
During all her severe afflictions, Mrs. Coulter
manifested the most perfect submission to the
will of her Divine Master. Her calm resignation
throughout a long, lingering illness ; her good
ness of heart, ever one of her prominent charac
teristics, was even' more marked, as she ap
proached the final struggle. Her mental facul
ties remained clear' and unclouded through all
her severe sufferings, and in the immediate
presentie of death, shone out with that radiant
splendor, which, like the setting sun, throws a
flood of glory ratherlhay. that of sadness around
the dying couch. Mrs. Coulter was a lady of
high personal 'attractions, whiah was even ex-
Ceeded by the transparent beauty of her char
acter. IUOSINIINICATSD.
Dron—September 22d, 'at his residence, near.
Clintonville, Venango County, Pa., after a short
illness, Mr. THOMAS MIEZIE, Sr., in the 87th year
of his age.
The subject of this obituary was born in Frank
,
ihr County. He emigrated from thence to West
moreland County, and from that to the place
where he died. He was elected Ruling Rider in
the church of Sorubgrass, at an early period of
its history. He continued in it in this office from
the year 1812 unto the year 1840, at which time
he was chosen elder of the church of Clinton-
Ville, in which he remained in this office until
death. He was a man amiable in his disposition,
and loved by all who knew him. • Godliness of
heart shone in his life, so as to convince, those
around that, he was. in -possession of religion.
He loved the house of God, aim was always
found there when able. He knei , ' well the lan
guage of God «Blessed is the man that hear
eth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at
the posts of my, doors." Re was judge of the
court of the county in which he lived, for some
years. His end was peace. He acknowledged to
his pastor, when near Ids death, that Christ was
his only hope, and manifested a desire to depart
and "be with Christ, which is far better." He
leaves his companion, children, and friends, to
mourn his lose; bat they do not mourn as those
who hive na hope "Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord from heneeforth ; yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and ,
their works do. Mew them."
How blest the rightsens when he dies."
Dzen—December 7th, at her residence, in Ye-
.mango County, Mrs. Sesames: Convzar, in the
95th year of her age.
Another mother in Israel gone to her rest!
The deceased' was a native of Ireland. She eini
grated from it to Maryland, and from thence to
the w : eters of Scrubgrass, where she died. She
was a member of the church of Scrubgrass for
many years. But after a chureit was organized
at Clintonville she
_united with it, and Continued
a member in it until death. She•-professed reli
gion about seventy-five years. She adorned her
professiOn by a godly walk. She was loved by
all who knew her. She said she did not know
that she had an enemy in the world. She loved
the droppings of the sanctuary, and was found
there when able. Sometimes sbe was harrassed
with doubts, and at other times her faith was
strong. She appeared to live the life of the
righteous, and consequently this would ensure
the death of such to her. She lived to a good old
age, and was gathered home to glory, we, trust,
as a shock of corn fatly ripe. "Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea,
saith the Spirit, that they may cost from their la
bors, and their works do follow them."
Dran—On the 7th of November, at the resi
dence of her father, in Indiana County, Pa.,
Mamma, daughter of James S. Martin,' aged
14 years, 7 months, 7 days.
This little girl was a patient sufferer under
protracted and severe illness. She was quiet and
reserved in her manner, and intelligent and pru
dent above her years:. From an early period in
her life, she was interested in religions services,
and was yet cheerful with her young companions,
joining heartily in their harmless sports. She
was known to be attentive to secret prayer, and
delighted in reading the Bible. This was with
her a favOrite occupation. During her illness,
she manifested great patience under suffering;
and, being of an affectionate disposition, was
grateful to her parents, the rest of the family,
and friends,- for their kind attentions. To the
inquiries of her friends, she expressed her faith
in Christ as the reason, of, her hope of heaven,
A little before her death she exhorted her parents•
brothers, and sisters, to prepare for death, say
ing, ." Father, you must die ; and mother, you
must die ; and sisters and brothers, you must die
too;" and presented an earnest and appropriate
prayer in their behalf, to God. Her life and
death are a proof and illustration •of the advan
tages of early piety, and furnish an encourage
ment to parents to train their children in the fear
of God, and in the ways of religion. Though a
delicate 'ohild; she was the favorite of the family;
and now, though her friends Mourn her removal,
they mourn "not as those who have no hope."
Happy parents ! happy children ! when this is
your lot.
"They die in desui, and are blest,
How calm their slumbers are
From sufferings and from sin released,
And freed from every snare."
They are taken from " the evil to come."
" Weep not, she is not deed, but sleepeth."
DLllD—Septiinber 25th, at the residence of his
father, in Ohio County, Va, Mr. Wruankt Mintt-
GAN, aged 40 years, 2 months, and I day.
The deceased was the subject of a long and pro
tracted illness. Some eight or nine months be
fore his decease, he was affected with a disease
which appeared externally on his body, in the
form of tumors, and which continued to increase
while he lived. On the twenty first of May he
had a stroke of palsy, which deprived him of the
use of his right side, but which was partially re
stored, though not sufficient to enable him ever to
walk alone. He had long been a consistent, de;
voted, and useful member of the Presbyterian
Church. In his death the church and community
have lost a useful member, and hie family a vibe
head and counselor. In his life he evinced much
of the spirit of his beloved Master; but espe
cially in his last sickness did he manifest his
Christian character ; that though his sufferings
were very protracted, and for the most part very
intense, he bore them with the' utmost patience
and meekness; resigning himself to the will of
his Saviour, and committing his large and help
less family to the care of a kind and heavetdy
Father. He often expressed his willingness to
Deiart and be with Christ"' Rarely during
hie illness, did he suffer an opportunity to pass ef
speaking to the numerous friends and acquaint
ances who visited him, of the blessed Saviour he
loved ; having a word of counsel or admonition
for all. A. few hours before his death, he called
his weeping family to his bed-side, bade them
each one farewell, gave them a husband's and
father's blessing, entreating each one to love the
Saviour, and strive to meet hint in that Canaan
of rest where death never enters, and parting is
no more. After which he conversed but little ;
and soon it became evident to all that he was
struggling with his last enemy--death. In Mr.
M.'s death there are one or two noticeable facts
connected with it. He was buried precisely on
the nineteenth anniversary of hie marriage; and
he is the third one of Hugh Milligan's children
that is dead, all of whom have died in their
father's house, and have left children. Truly
God's ways are not as our ways, nor his thoughts
as our thoughts I. Let us all, therefore, receive
the admonition, " Be ye also ready, for ye know
neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of
Man cometh." H.M.
M'Keesport. Pa., on,the morning of
the 25th of November, Mrs. .Aivx Moattow, in the
94th year of her age.
The deciased was married in 1791, and became
a member of the Presbyterian Church in 1792.
She came from Ireland to this country in 1796,
and connected by certificate with Bev. Mr. Sam
ples church, in Lanosster County, Pa., in which
connexion she remained nine years, when she
moved to Montotirs Valley, and connected with
the church there in the same year. Some time
after the death of her husband, she moved with
two daughters to Pittsburgh, where she resided
for a time. A few years ago, (in 1852,) her
daughters mine to WHeesport to reside, and she
came with them, and lived with one of them,
Mrs. M. M'Bride, till her marriage, some ten
months since, to Rev. James M. Smith, of Beaver
County,. when she went' to live with her other
daughter, Mrs. J. H. Berry, at whose residence
she closed her eyes in death. Long bad she been
a member of the Presbyterian church. She was,
at her death, in connexion with the Second
church, Pittsburgh ; mit being able to attend
church after she came to this place, she did net
unite here. As in life, so in death, religion com
forted her, Christ was all her theme; resignedly
did she await his will to take her to himself.
Her faith at death gave plese to vision, her
hope to a blessed fruition. Calmly and peace
fully she fell asleep in Jesus. " Let me die the
death of the righteous, and let my last end be
like hie." R.F.W.
Dien—On Wednesday, October 14th, about 1
o'clock P. M., Mrs. ELIZPOSETH LIVINGSTON, wife
of. Wm. Livingston, of Florence, Washington
County, Pa.
Deceased was the eldest daughter of Mr. David
and Mrs. Mary Duacan, still living in that neigh
borhood. She was instructed by her parents and
in the Sabbath School from the tune she was
born, February 22, 1825. Having from early
life the advantages of religions instruction and
example, she applied for admission to the Lord's
table in the Spring of 1837, and was admitted to
full communion by the Session of the Presbyte
rian congregation of Florence, being at that time
only twelve years of age. It. might haire been
feared that she took this step under the influence
of excited feelings, and that when the excite
ment had subsided' she would forget her Christian
profession and its obligations ;.* but as Solomon
says of the righteous, she held on in her way and
weated . stronger. She was married to Mr. Liv
ingston the 16th of April, 1846, and sometime
after her marriage she connected herself with
the Associate congregation of Frankfort, of
which her husband was a member. She had
been troubled even. before her marriage with
symptoms of pubnonaxy ailment, which symp
toms gradually became more aggravated. For
one year before her death she was so emaciated
that her friends wondered how she had the cour
age to leave her own chamber. But nevertheless
she continued to frequent the house of God.
Her last appearance in public was in the sanctu
ary on the Wednesday before her death, that day
being observed, by the congregation as a fast in
preparation for the Lord's Sapper. On her death,
bed she was calm and self-possessed, and her
conversation was edifying and consoling. When
It became evident on the Sabbath that her life
would hot be extended much farther, she coin;
plaited of 'being under a Cloud and in the dark.
She listened with earnest , attention to the instruc
tions of her pastor, and acknowledged on Tues
day morning that her mind was easy in t,he' way
of casting all her cares on God. the Saviour.
About three 'hours before her departure she
stated that her end was near at hand; that she
had no desire to live longer, but was rather long
ing to be gone; that her snfferings . were consid
erable ; and she asked. her minister and other
friends present to pray that her sufferings might
be alleviated. Prayer was offered according to
her request, and in a little time she seemed to
aleep, and continued to sleep till the end. Mrs.
Livingston was remarkable for cheerfulness and
uncomplaining patience, affability and liberality,
and kindness toward all with whom she met.
J .bi
Besides her husband and parents, and three
little daughters, she has left many friends to de
plore her removal. They are consoled, however,
by the confident hope "that their loss is her un
speakable gain. "Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord ; for they rest from their labors,
and their works do follow them."
