But Lilfle business is doing. There is
'Scarcely any stir in mercantile affairs; and
every one seems to be waiting patiently for
the opening .of the Fall trade. Many are
absent from the airy at Cape May, Atlantic
City, Bedford, and in the pleasant retreats
along the •Catawissa ; while some have found
fieir way to Niagara, the Canada; or Like
George, and others are luxuriating among
the mountains and Springs of Old Virginia.
It is really tantalizing to those cooped up in
brick and-mortardom, to read the letters of
those who are so highly favored as to be able to
lay aside care, breathe the pure atmosphere of
the country, bathe in Old Ocean, climb the
,mountain side, listen to the roar of the cata

The friends of Btshop Potter have been
Tejoieed to learn that there is a slight im
provetnent in his health.
A Flora/ Fair has just been held in aid
of the Second church of Germantown,
which has been very favorably spoken of,
and the proceeds of which have been very
encouraging to this new enterprise.
From no other city do we receive such
encouraging accounts of a continued and
growing interest in the subject of Persona/
Religion., as in this. Every Sabbath even
ing, prayer.meetings well attended are held
in nineteen engine or hose houses, for the
benefit of the Firemen.
The church of the Rev. John Chambers
has erected a Tent in the South. Western
part of the city for religions services.
Preaching there has been well attended
and a large Sunday School has been col
lected.

After a friendly interchange of views and
feelings upon the question under considera

Resolved, That in the person of our be.
loved pastor, we have found an earnest,
Faithful, zealous advocate of the Truth; that
we ~.teem it a privilege here to express our
high appreciation of him, both as a man
and a Christian ; that in his public adminis•
trations and private walks, in the family
and the praying circle, he has ever exhib•
ited an earnest zeal ia the cause of the Re
deemer.
Resolved, That while we deplore the
eauses which impel the separation, we, nev•
ertheless, yielding to the dictates of judg
ment and duty, acquiesce in his request,
believing that the circumstances which have
directed his course, are such as could not
have been controlled.
Resolved, That we warmly recommend
him to the confidence, the Christian fellow
ship, and social intercourse of the Christian
Church, as a kind and agreeable companion
and brother, and an able and faithful min•
biter of the Now Testament.

REV. D. MCKINNEY, D. D.—Dear Sir :

this as it may, the Lord is still looking with
favor upon us at Coolspring, Presbytery of

into church privileges twenty six on Fees.

fifty five added to this little church since the

the Lord," and to his name be the praise,
through Christ Jesus, his well-beloved Son.

Lettere from the North.
CARROLL COLUMN AT WAUICEIMA.
The commencement for the year was observed
on the 14th lust., and with more than usual inter
est. On Sabbath evening preceding, an address
to the. Society of Religious inquiry, was delivered
by the Rev. Mr. Heckman, of Pottage City. We
had not the pleasure of hearing this address, but
were told it was appropriate, and of a high order.
On Tuesday evening, we were entertained by au
able discourse, addressed to one of the Literary
Societies, by Dr. Plumer, df the Allegheny Sem
inary. Of this discourse it is sufficient to remark,
that it was in the Doctor's usual style—delivered
with great freedom of manner, and listened to
With uutlred attention for nearly two hours.
Wednesday was the commencement proper;
but as the exercises did not begin until 2 o'clock
P. M., we were at liberty to devote ourselves to
rambling, and made a delightful` survey of the
' village and its environe, The entrance into Wau
kesha from the Railroad Depot, is not inviting ;

and edifices, and especially to the College build.
tug, crowning and overlooking the whole, we
doubt if a richer or more attractive scene pre
sents itself, in all the remarkable ones of our
remarkable country. The village itself (in this
part of it,) is handsomely built, and among the
oldest of our State; and as we' looked upon it,
from the College site, we have been lead to ex.
claim, "What a goodly prospect spreads around
—of hills, and dales, and lawns, and woods,
and spires 1"—of the valley at your feet—the
stream meandering through it—the rim like
crown of hills beyond—" till all the glittering
landscape into smoke decays."
There are three aspects in particular, marking
this locality, which are striking, and must be
highly suggestive, we should think, to the lovers
of science resorting here. First, the rim on
which the College is built, and which nearly sur
rounds the whole village, strongly suggests a vol.
Mao origin, or some other convulsion ; then, at
the bottom , been opened already, a remark
able quarry of rook, said to be of the Silurian
order, full of the oldest fossils in the animate
creation; if se; suggesting the inference that this
valley must have been denuded of all the higher
strata, and is conformity with the fact 'that the
course of the Fox-Hirer now finds its way through
this gorge to its far off connexions. with the
South. West. Acid then there are more modern,
but equally mysterious , objects, to excite reflec
tion. The whole of Cilliege Hill is dotted with
Indian Moundf, of variouilormations. Several of
these are in tie Campus; and one, which requires
no great aid of imaginaticni,to figure a huge
quadruped lying on his side.
After spending the forenoon in roaming over
this interesting soeneryAnd partaking of an ex
cellent dinner with the hoapitable President, we
repaired to the Presbyterian choral for the exer
tiSeß of the Graduating Class. Of the four young
dentlemen who took their degrees,. and all of
whom delivered orations, we can speak in terms
of unqualified respect and approval. The ad
dresses were all able and manly, and showed de.
cided scholarship and rhetorical powers We
could only wish we bad many such Alumni to
heighten the prospects of our future lib rnl pro
fesions. We were gratified to learn that two of
these have already consecrated themselves to the
Gospel ministry. The conferring of Degrees fol
lowed, and then an affectionate nod impressive
Bacalaureate, from the President, addressed to the
graduates.
Sweet and soul stirring music accompanied
these graver exercises ; nor must it he omitted,
that a splendid festival, got up by the ladies of
Waukesha, came off in the evening, on which, as
4 all the friends of the College were invited to par
ticipate," there was no want of attention, whether
to the delicacies of the appetite, or " the flow of
soul."
In a word, the friends of Carroll College have
had reason to congratulate themselves on a good
commencement, and with flattering prospects for
another year. The public will be glad to learn,
that the immediate pecuniary embarrassments
of the Institution have been relieved ; and will ,
feel, we trust, as we did, a strengthening desire
for its growth and lasting prosperity.
The remainder of this letter must be devoted to
the somewhat trite theme of Et — mama ; and 1
that the rather, as there is reason to believe that
we are not - yet well understood on this and some
other subjects.
And our first remark is, that the inhabitants of
Wisconsin are by no means an ignorant people.•
Why should they be? They have, to a great ex
tent, come from New York and New England.
We do , not believe in being "developed." We
brought our manhood with us, and have not been
at any time altogether without those appliances
which prevent retrogradation. We have one of
the best School systems in the United States, and
quite sufficient of zeal for progress.
The writer of this article supposes be gave the
first lessons in Latin and French, ever taught in
the city of and that within four years.
Now we hems a College and a Female Seminary,
while instruction in the modern languages, in
Music, Drawing, and Painting, are pursued as
common things. Those who suppose we are but
half civilized, or that our congregations must be
addressed as if there were no scholarship in them,
are in error; those lecturers and other speakers,
who give us but loose harangues, as if almost
any thing would do for Wisconsin, make a great
mistake. Even ministers of the Gospel are some
times greatly disappointed in this respect. One
of them, in a back settlement, told me he lately
stepped into a lawyer's office among his people,
and found him reading an English copy of Dante.
He asked the man if be could relish such an au
thor? The man silently walked to his book case,
and showed him the original, which he roan fla•
ently.
Yet our scholars and literary influences are,
to some extent, scattered and unorganized; and
therefore our second remark is, of the nature of a
corollary from the first. It is, Abet what we now
want, in this respect, is centres and bonds of in
fluence for the development of our literary re
sources. We would gather the scattered rays of
light and heat, and keep them active. Yet we
do not, at present, want more Colleges We want
those which subsist to be better sustained, both
as to funds and, pupils. Good Academies, to
bring forward young men, are of more importance
to us than more Colleges ; and then, we must not
be forgotten from , abroad, however forbidding the
times are, for we are too poor yet to go alone.
This leads us to our third remark, which we
must beg to have well considered. It is too gen
erally supposed, perhaps, that our Colleges are
well provided for, in that the State endowments
for education are abundant, and that we have a
State University. But here we must say, fear
lessly, that the State Institution does not, and
never can, in the nature of things, provide for
liberal education. Any observer must have seen
that a State, can never compare, with a voluntary
College, for the purposes of general, liberal edn•
cation. State politics will ever more or less-min
gle in their control. Every new Legislature will
be tinkering with them; ignorant partizans will
raise new questions annually. Jealousies will ex
ist among the people; pupils will not be furnished,
and however liberally endowed, these Institutions
will ultimately languish. This general result has
been illustrated by what we have seen in this
State. Madison University, though ably officered
and munificently endowed, does not flourish;
while our poorer Colleges—Appleton, Beaver-
Dam, Beloit, and our own at Waukesha—are fall
of hope and promise Our own view is, therefore,
that voluntary Institutions are best for us ; and
that denominational lead In a College is no objec
tion, but rather desirable, if it but be connected
with liberal principles, and a fair administration.
Let our voluntary Colleges, therefore, be prin
cipally relied on. We do indeed need more en
dowments. We almost perish, at times, for the
want of them. But the people and the Churc
favor us; and we had rather struggle still hard
er than lean on mere State influences.
Fourthly, as a still further encouragement, we
wish to say to our friends abroad, that the good
people of this-State are not fanatics. It might
sometimes be inferred, perhaps, that they were,
from the papers, and the mistaken modes of ad
dress adopted by certain lecturers. Some lee
thrers, and other public speakers, address us as
if they took i, for granted we were all ultra mho
litioniste, and that they must foam a little on this
subject, or not please their audience. Certain
papers, perhaps, will foster this impression, and
anon we have an extravagant commendation of
the bold young 'man, or student; how splendidly
he did show up the old fogies and conservatives!
But the fact is, after all, that the majority of his
hearers were conservatives, though they held their
peace. We must not be judged abroad, therefore;
by these ebullitions of beardless Young America.
The whole body of the people are indeed anti
slavery, and strongly so. We shall go against
it, unitedly, boldly, perseveringly, in all reason
able ways ; but what we object to is, being judged
by ostensible appearances, because we do not
mingle in every brawl, or choose to reply to every
effusion.
We have ever supposed it a good motto, (of
Presbyterianism especially,) to act - rather than
talk—to make sure of the right, and then go
straight onwart We have no reason to doubt
that the better part of all our citizens mean to be
actuated by the same wisdom. •

Tribute of Respect.
At a meeting of the Philadelphian Literary So
ciety, of Olome Institute, the following resolu
tions were adopted :
Inasmuch as it hath pleased God in the mys
terious dispensations of his providence, to remove
by death, Miss Maggie George, an active and val
uable member of our Society; therefore,
Resolved, That in thisefflictive dispensation, we
recognize the hand of Him who doeth all things
well," and bow in humble submission to his will.
Resolved, That while we deeply mourn the loss,
of one, who, by her artless simplicity of manner,
amiable and affectionate disposition, combined
with unaffected piety, won the hearts of all who
knew her, we sorrow not as those who have no
hope, believing that our friend has but exchanged
her conflict, for a crown of life which fadeth not
away.
Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt sym
pathies to the bereaved . parente, who bad learned,
ere this, by the loss of three daughters, that
separations are painful even though the loved
ones have but preceded them to the •.land of the
blessed," and we desire to commit them to the
care of Him who •• woundeth and maketh whole."
Resolved, That the members of this Society,
wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days, as
a testimonial of respect for the deceased.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
transmitted to the family, and also that they be
published in the Banner and Advocate, and the
United Presbyterian.

The Lottery.
We, last week, spoke a few' words about the
Lottery enterprise, and that a few of those con

penalties of the law. Boit seems that real lot

gazette, " to have opened his office here as late

save twenty five to fifty per cent. in the cost of

immense convenience to travelers. This we can
readily believe. We have often wobdered *by

Pennsylvania canal Packets, could be put up for
those who, from necessity or choice, might pros
ecute their journey, by night. On one of these
comforts a few of the gentlemen of the.press, were
taken from our city to Sewickley, a few days ago,
and they give a glowing description of the pleasure
to be anticipated in a nocturnal ride. We were
not of the party, but we shall hope that on our
next jaunt Westward, we shall be favored with a
locality in the Woodruff Car.
This question, between, the "United States and
the British Governments, is settled as to the prin
ciple. The ground is, that no government vessel
of either nation has a right to search, interrupt,
or in any way molest, any trading vessel belong
ing to or "sailing ander the proller authority of,
the other nation. But neither the British flag
nor the American will protect. a pirate. The
marauder, hoisting the flag of a friendly power,
cannot thereby shield himself from capture.
'Only the vessels really belonging to the country
will be protected by the hag. How then may a
pirate or slaver be seized, since any one can raise
any flag? It is on sea just ae on the public
streets. A constable May seize aay man be
meets, under the allegation that he is a murderer
or robber. If he is really such, the officer is
sustained. But if the person arrested is an hon
est, peaceful man, the offieor must suffer. He
acts under a responsibility, and must beware
that he meddles not to the injury or annoyance of
an innocent and peat:era]. man .
So with these constables of the ocean. They
have a work to do. They mast seize robbers.
But let them beware. If they interfere with
bonest commerce, they are held responsible.
Let them \ then have god evidence of the evil
character of the craft, before they stop it and
search it.
This is the title of a new British Colony, about
to be organized, on the Western side of North
America. A. bill is before Parliament to this
end, and its passage regarded as certain. It will
comprise all tha British territories bounded on
the South by the United States frontier; on the
East by the water•ehed between the streams which
flow into the Pacific, and those which flow into
the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans; on the North by
the fifty.fifth' parallel of latitude; and on the
West by the Pacific, including also Queen Char
lotte's Island, and all the islands adjacent, except
Vanoouver's Island. This left, is already a vo lony,
but it may be incorporated into New Caledonia,
at any time, on an address of the two branches of
its Legislature.
The miking of this a crown Colony, and &-
tog its. Government, will bring the dominions of
Great Britain and Russia into contact; Russia
holding the country North of the fifty fifth par
allel.
George W. COM, Esq, has resigned the Presi
dency of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad. and J. Edgar Thompson, Esq., has been

the Companies, by which the roads will be run in
conjunction,, making one line front Philadelphia to

of all mProhants in the United States failed.
Since 1840, only one student of this institution,
out of upwards of 4000, is known to have failed
in business—an indisputable proof of the wide
spread salutary influence exercised by it over the
present generation of the , mercantile profession.
The penalty of this success, in a new department

We would call attention to this excellent insti

another column. The Seminary is situated on a
beautiful table land, overloOking the town of New
Brighton, and commanding a view of the most
picturesque and varied scenery. The plan of the
institution is comprehensive, embracing all the
branches of art and science pertaining to the
most liberal education. Mr. Curry, the Principal,
is eminently qualified for so important and re
sponsible a position. Besides being a ripe and
accomplished scholar, he is a gentleman kind and
pleasing in his address, and although compara-
tively young, has earned the reputation of being
one of the foremost educators in the country.

men•of war to visit and search vessel under for

Mr. Milner Gibson seconded the motion.
Mr. Cardwell denied that England had been un
successful,

her efforts to suppress the trade would establish a
universal system of piracy on the African coast.
He then urged the continuance of the blockading
squadron now stationed there.
Mr. Fitzgerald, on the part of the government,
agreed, with the remarks of Mr. Cardwell, and
said the government had proposed to France the
establishment of a commission on the spot to in

By the death of Mr. K., the community has
lost a valuable, respectable, and respected citi
zen. Re was a piing man of fine business
talents, pleasing and polished in his manners, and
amiable and generous in disposition. To know
him was to love him. He was, truly benevolent,
and nontributed willingly and liberally to good
causes and worthy objects. lie bore his suffer
ings patiently, and desired to bide them as much
as possible from his mother and sisters, choosing
rather ; to suffer than to be the cause of suffering
to others, se great WEE his regard for the happi
ness and welfare of, these around him. He died
expressing his love for the Saviour. He leaves a
large circle of mourning relatives and friends ;
but they mourn not -as those who have no hope.

MARGULET ELLEN WDONAID, in the 16th year of•
her age..
That one so young and amiable in life should thus
early pass away, seemsstrange." But it tioes not
become us to question the wisdom of Providenoe,
but submit, - and say, " Even so, Father, for so it
seemed good in thy sight." There were many
lovely traits in her character, which won for her
the affection and esteem of all who knew her.
She was the pride of the circle in which she
moved. But all these things, could not free her
from the last enemy. The messenger is sent,
and she falls beneath the stroke. _ Her sufferings,
for many days severe, were borne without a mur
muring word. She seemed ,to forget the suffer
ing of the body, in concern for the soul. Great
was her•desire to be clothed upon with Christ; to
be assured that she was washed from her sins in
his blood.• And although doubts sometimes ap
peared to surround her, yet her end was calm
and peaceful. Her last testimony was, that
Jesus was 'precious to her soul. Let those who
mourn weep not as those who have no hope ; but
let them rejoice rather, that their loss is her in
finite gain. And let the young be admonished
wisely to consider the warning, "Be ye also
ready, for at such a time as ye thinknot, the Son
of Man cometh." "- M.

The deceased spent the greater portion of her

church. With her husband.she came West in the
Spring of '67, where bright prospects were
before them, both for usefulness and, temporal

in the place of their new home, they became
identified, at once, with its interests, audits work.

however, she made herself Many friends, who
mourn herloss, though she was comparatively a
stranger. Her diseaie was lingering, but- her
sufferings not excessively severe. She bore it all
with Christiau,patienne and resignation. Retain
ing her senses up to within thirty minutes of her
last struggle, she spoke calmly of her death, ex
pressed her willingness to go, if it were God's
will, and a firm reliance on her Baviour. She
leaves a husband arid many friends to mourn her
loss, and an infant, a few weeks old, who will
never know the worth of the mother that has been

READ, in the 69th year of his ag,e• . t
Mr. Read was born in Cecil County, Md., and
removed with his father to Centre County, ?S.,
in 1794, 40 thence, in 1803, to Clearfield County.,
Here he lived more than half a century, enjOyini
in a high degree the esteem and affectionate re l
gard of all who knew him. His bereaved com
panion and children, and a large circle of friends,
mourn hie death, but they have evidence in his
life and death that their loss is his gain. For
weir a quarter of a century be was known as a
follower of the Redeemer, and for about eighteen
years served the Presbyterian church in Clear
field in the office of Ruling Elder. He was
modest and retiring in his disposition, and averse
to any position of prominence, yet ever ready to
co-operate with his brethren in promoting the
interests of the Church. With humility and in
dependence upon Divine grace, he so fulfilled the
duties of a husband, father, friend and Christian,
as to leave a name which is a sweet savor in the
memory of his friends. His death was peaceful
gently falling asleep in the arms of Jesus.
On the day preceding it, lie set his house in order,
and then, on being asked if he could now repose
with confidence in the Saviour, he said, I can;
Jesus has always been very kind to me, and be
will not forsake me now." The rod and staff of
the'great Shepherd were evidently with him, and
we doubt not that his dwelling place is now in
God's bouse. .
