In alit& and aowsOlieart;
In eelf-worship wrapped alone,
Dreaming thy poorgriefs are grown
More than other men hare known;

origin, and also luile,conservative and pro Motive
influences upon true piety, social' principles, lit-.

KAMM§ TERRITORY, July 2 S , 1858.
Dn.' MOKirmar--Dear :—Having
recently seen a statement in, your paper, over
the signature of G. M. Swan, relative to
Presbyterianism„ and Presbyterians in Kan
sas Territory, that is calculated to create an
erlw.3ePali iropressi9n,,we feel enned,on, in
justice to the cause ,this Territoiy, toi3Or
reet, his statements. ,
'BBa4n:informs us, in his conimuniea
that,,lui: has been but a short time in
the Territory, -.(June 12th, 1858,) and yet
he presumed ti:',!! l inf:aTin the public ,. that
itpres4terianisin-,ist not very popular in
Kansas.' There' is in this statement a
double iniustioet—lt is unjust to ou t caus e ,
and. will ,
sate t,iiev.faotai an your reauers can then
judgef4iA*PPlTes. :
On the, North side of the t Kansas river,
we have several, congregation i niiirlittifen t o
by Areisr,iii . :47o oo k) .PitzeTkßillqbleVßl9.k
-us, arid :others.' . On the Sotth.Vderinf the,
have. Messrs • 3VVIROP,
Monfort, Reed, and Wallace and perhaps
others tiiiCta have not heard of,, Rev
Mr. Monfort is at Teciimself and 'Browns- f
and in the viciniti<of thane Places.;
Rev. Or: Winionlibors itfredikiiiitOjaw-
Tema, Franklin, Prairie City, Bloomington,
Big Springs, and other points. 'Rev. Mr.
teed is in Anderson County, and "the 'Rey:
Mr. 'Wallace in the vicinity of thtr "Verdigris
'iver. Rev. Mr - .Willson cameo.orr Ter
ritory,,citi Stine, 1857, and peArilp labor
pooth e , of the Kansas river, preaching at
Lecompton. and Big Springs. In July he
organized a church at Lecompton, consist
ing of nine members, composed of residents
of that place and the surrounding country ;
there are now twenty-four members. The
people in that vicinity were so much pleased
with his labors and deportment, that they
pointed out a "claim," and advised him to
preempt it, which, with their assistance, he
procured. He went East and returned with
his family, before his house was completed ;
in the meantime, a gentleman owning a
sawmill, kindly permitted him to occupy a
vacant house on the premises. After the
return of Mr. Willson from the East, he ex
tended the field of his labors, and began to
preach at Lawrence and Franklin, then at
Prairie City and Bloomington also at minor
potnts.
This entire ground was occupied before
the Rev. Mr.. Swan - arrived. The Lawrense
church was organized ; in April, 1858, with
twenty-four members; it has at this time
thirty•two. The church at Prairie City was
also organized ; in April, with ten members.
Mr. Wilson has at, this time, more members
under his, charge than any other minister in
his bounds, and more, than -the. four Con
gregational ministers combined, who have
oee.upied- the field, fora melt, longer time.
Mr, Swan informs us that we have no
minister South of the " centre of the . Terri
tory ;" whereas there are two, that we know
of, the Rev,,. Mr. Reed, and the Rev., Mr.
Wallace. He ignorantly suppcised that our
friends in the ".Territory South have not
heard any but the four sermons he preacbed
in one day." It would have been more to
his advantage, as well as ours, if he had lis
'toned more and talked less. We are also
informed that he left Leaveniorth on Tues
day morning; and that when he "came to
Lawrence, it. was with great difficulty that
he (I) could get on the track of any Presby
terian, and that he (I) would have given up
in despair, had he ()not had the name of
a man given him (me,) who bad been a
Presbyterian where he came from." He
could have found the gentleman alluded to,
on,his arrival on Tuesday evening, if he bad
not induced his clerk to suppose that he
•could not have any very important business
with him. As Mr. S. was importunate, he
was informed next morning where the per
son could be found, and arrived at Mr. Will
son's about 10 A. M. o'clock on Wednesday.
The insinuation:that Mr. Willson was to• be
found at a saw-mill oz on his claim, coupled
with the following decimations, shows that
his motives were not.-,pure, and that he de
serves tole exposed, which may teach him a
lesson for the future. 44 After - all the 4 gas
sing ' in the.prints, from some quarters, I
must say that it is, yet a day of small things
in Church matters in Kansas Territory."
WO can assure Mr. Swan that unless persons
more acceptable to our settlers than he proved
to be, come to aid the gentlemen who are
zealously and acceptably laboring among us,
it will be a day of small things in " Church
matters Kansas Territory, for some time
to come." •
Again; he says: " Other Churches are
endeiVoring to possess the land. Many pro
fessors, when they come to Kansas, forget
or lay aside their profession, if not their re
ligion. They come to get gain," &a. Now,
if- the Rev. .G. M. Swan meant to insinuate,
that the gentlemen who are zealously and
successfully laboring among us, neglect their
sacred callingend.duties for the sake of gain,
be has been guilty of a gross and monstrous
wrong. For the future, we hope. 'wimp be
more careful of the information he gives the
public, or we: shall' not. treat his extraordi
nary statements thus mildly.
Had Mr. Swan talked less and listened
'more, perhaps his efforts might have been
more acceptable to our people, and he might
have met with a more flattering reception.
As to the efforts of other Churches to occu
py the held, those of us who have Jong re
aided in Kansas, Call inform Mr. Swan, that
their fanaticism, and efforts to aid in creat
ing and keeping up excitement in Kansas,
to_the injury of our people, has created such
a prejudice against them, as to defeat those
efforts, for which' reason, the . conservative
and prudent course of our Church, is caus
ing it to prosper and do good.
Very respectfully„

'Letter from Supe r ior:
SUPERIOR, - WIS
July 30th, 1858
DRan, BAKKER. My last letter ) writ
ten from Ontonagon, I omitted, for want, of
room, to say many things which I should
otherwise have been glad to say, ilk reference
tolhat place and its surroundings. I shall
recur to none of them now, except the de
lightful fact that the little 'church In that
place shared in the precious effusions of the
Holy Spirit, which were shed forth so large
ly on our beloved Zion during last Winter.
Many of your readera will remember the
letter from the pastor-of that church, which
was read in the Rittsburgh Convention, ask
ing an interest in the prayers of the minis
ters and elders then asip ti mbled. The
intercessions called forth by at letter were
answered,, and the heart of that pastor was
gladdened by witnessing the quickened
energies of the members of his church put
forth anew - in Christ's service, and by an
Important addition to their numbers of such
as are still walking in, the faith and order of
the Gospel, and such as, we trust, will
finally be saved. Two or three cases of con
version there are very remarkable, and, did
not prudential considerations forbid, might
profitably'be recorded for the encouragement
of those who labor - for the conversion of the
chief of sinners, and for the encouragement
of such sinners themselves,, when they begin
to seek their salvation. I have felt, my own
lack, of , faith and - 'patience in the work of
laboring and praying for the salvation of
those who neglect the public means of gnaw,
and especially of those who are far gone in
sin, rebuked,, by what I have heard and seen
at Ontonagon.
Just, a week ego, I reached - this place,
aboard the steamer North Star. There
are many, Agreeable incidents to be Met with
in travel, And
_not a few that are as unex
ipeted as agreeable. Both agreeable and
unexpected to Me, was it to meet, on the
Star, an old friend and quondam class
mate, in the person, of the Rev. John. Rob
inson, of Ashland, Ohio. How pleasant it
is to renew the companionships and to re
count-the incidents of-twenty years ago;
.and yet' iLif. a 'pleisure not unmingled with
sadness. While it revives the memory of
former friendships and former joys, it re
,vives them, alas I but to remind us that
many such friendships are now lost to earth,
,and many such :pp now gone forever. Let
, us thank God that while the links that
bound us to earth are one by' one being
seiered, they each in
,their turn take their
place in that chain which binds us to
heaven;
efFor - are friends in heaven—all faithful
A. Wndniany friendships in the daire of lime
'Begun, are lastilig there, and growing still:"
I HE . PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
Superior, is situated on the shore of the
magnificent bay which stretches across the
head of Lake Superior, and which is sepa
rated from it by a tongue of land stretching
down from the Minnesota shore, more than
six miles in length, and but a few rods wide.
A similar tongue, three miles long, reaching
in from the Wisconsin shore, nearly meets
the other, leaving between them a narrow
but safe entrance for vessels, where they
may find, behind this natural breakwater, a
secure retreat from the waves of the lake, in
the most violent storm.
The town of Superior presents quite a
fine appearance, as you approach, it from the
lake. It is a place of somewhat ambitious
pretensions. Several hundred acres are laid
out in wide etreeta, grand avenues, and mean.
and contemptible 'lots; the latter having a ,
front of only twenty-five feet by one hundred
and twenty in depth. This has been decidedly
a fast city ; but, like :many other fast things,
and some " fast young men," is just now in a
most decided quandary to know how to "raise
the wind." The revnlsion in the monetary
affairs of 'the country has sadly- darkened
the:prospects of speculators in town lots;,
and as there are, as yet, no agricultural or
mining operations back of this place to sus
tain it, many who have hats teinporary
home here, have left to try their fortunes
elsewhere. This 'check to the growth of
Superior is, I believe,, but temporary; It
is,, withoutedoubt, destined, at no very, dis
tant day, , to be a great city. Situated at the
head of lake navigation, and being, as , it
certainly is, the point from which Minnesota
and a large part of - Upper Wisconsin will
naturally seek their Eastern supplies, it
must necessarily'beeome a place of import
ance: Its future growth may be less rapid,
but it will be more firm, and it may turn out
that its present reverse may be, a blessing.in
disguise.
Among those who have recently left this
place, are the New School Presbyterian and
Episcopal ministers, and the Rornish priest.
-This leaves the spiritual field to the Old
School 'Presbyterian and Methodist minis
ters. The Society of the latter is very
small. The two Presbyterian churches have
thus far occupied the same house, the On
gregations meeting together, and the pastors
occupying the pulpits alternately. The
house belongs to, the New School; the
building ,of the Old School is under roof,
but;still very far from completion.
I have an item which will be news to
you, and doubtless, .ale° to some who are
more deeply interested in it than you are.
Within two hours of, the departure of the
New School minister from this port, on the
return of the steamer which -brought me
here, the congregation of which he had
been the pastor held a meeting, at which
they formally, and I. believe unanimously,
resolved to abandon the Preabyterian form,
and become Congregational. I have not
been able to learn that Mr. M'Corkle, the
minister, had received any intimation that
such a change was contemplated.
Dr. Duffield, of Detroit, had left this less
than a week previous, having come up to
attend a meeting of Presbytery which was
to have been, but which was not , held, there
being no member here but Mr. M'Ooikle.
Since Mr. M's departure there is not, I
believe, a New School minister on all Lake
Superior; and since the change in this
chtirch, there ls -no congregation 'of that
body above Marquette. This leaves the
whole upper part of the lake region in the
iiossession of the Old School, so faros Pres
byterianism is concerned, and this is where
it ought always to have been left. They
first occupied the field, and there is certain
ly, as,yet,
,no need of two separate Presby
terian organizations in any of these towns.
The pastor of the Old School Presbyte.
rian church in this place is the Rev. John
M. Barnett, who was formerly -one of the
lambs of my own flock, and on whose head I
joined with others, in "laying on hands,"
at his ordination to the 'work in which he is
now engaged. He is respected and beloved
by his people here, and is laboring with zeal
and patience to lay the- foundations of Zion
in these new regions. He has many din
couragements, but he is not 'without many
things also to cheer and comfort him. The
present depressed state of things is very
trying, but he feels that he is in the place
of duty, and he looks with faith and hope
to, a brighter day. He devotes part of his
labors to Oneota., a town on the Northern,
shore of the Bay of St. Louis, and also
; preaches occasionally at Dn Luth, Portland,
and other paper cities in. this, region, which
begin to have " a local habitation," as well
as "a name."
I have not beard Mr. B. preach since 'I
have been here, his ;pulpit having been oc
cupied last Sabbath by Bro. Robinson, who
urged upon his hearers, morning and even•
ing, the great themes of the Gospel, with
plainness and power. - G.H.

The effect of pasturing sheep in orchards,
both on the trees and the animals, is of some
interest to those wno keep sheep and have
orchards which it is desirable to keep in
grass rather than inother crops. A good
turf is so much nicer` to pick and sort
upon; to speak of no other advantage,,that
we would like to keep orchards always in
gran, could we do so profitably. Unless - the
trees are altogether too high, one cannot
well pasture horses or cows on an orchard ;
and if we could, these animals do not se
cure that close, clean sward desired. Sheep,
too, are said to enrich the soil upon which
they feed, as well as to improve the land by
the destruction of coarse and noxious veg
etation.
But we will mention some results of the
practice. Some years since. in answer to
our inquiry through an agricultural journal,
one farmer stated that he had pastured an
orchard with sheep for several years. When
he first turned them in, there was so little
growth that he could not cut a graft from the
orchard, there being no recent growth of
sufficient length and , thrift to furnish scions.•
In three years' time the trees improved ma
terially, making from a foot to eighteen in
ches of new wood every year: Another re
ported that sheep pastured in an orchard for
two or three years wade great improvement
in the trait. Neither spoke of any injuri
ous effect on the flock
We have pastured sheep in an old orchard,
more or less,, for two years past, and to its
Manifest improvement. The grass is better
than before, and the trees have a more
thrifty look. As to 'the flock, they have
&Me better than usual: This we attribute,
in part, to changing them from pasture fre
quently, and to the, liking they have to their
orchard pasture, especially in the hot
season.
Lord Jesus, help
Orobards often suffer from the want of
grazing. They get overrun with weeds and
briars, as they will not when sheep are kept
in them a portion. - of the time.
When the fruit begins to fall in any,
amount, we turn off the sheep and put: on
the pigs - and calves. These remain until
the apples are about ripe; then the orchard
•is cleared entirely, until the fruit is eared
for. The sheep are afterwards allowed to
retuny but not to eat the grub down too

The Fecundity of Flies•
The flies have again become numerous
and troublesome. The streets and houses
abound with them. The ingenuity of man
has not yet invented agents that can destroy
them as fast as they come; nor is this to be
wondered at, when it is known that from a
single fly more than two millions of these
pests are produced in one Summer.
[lt is a happy thing for man that he can.
not destroy these useful insects. They are
the most industrious scavengers in the world,
and, but for them, pestilence and death,
would depopulate our cities, and decimate
the inhabitants of the country.—En.] •
The Skin is a Sentinels
The skin is the advanced guard through
which every injury to the other parts must
make its way. The skin, therefore, is re
quired to be the seat of a pecaliarsensibility,
both for its own security, and to impel us to
flinch from the violence which would hurt
the flesh beneath. Forming our notions of
pain - • from what we feel at the surface, we
imbibe the idea that the deeper the wound,
the more severe would be the suffering; but
this, says Sir Charles Bell, is delusive; and
contrary to the fact. The surgeon, he adds,
who makes use of the knife, informs the pa
tient that the, worst is over when the skin is
passed, and if, in the progress of the opera
tion, it is found necessary to extend the outer
incision, the return to the skin proves far
more trying than the original cut, from the
contrast which it presenis to the comparative
insensibility of the interior. The muscle is
protected not by its own tenderness which
is by no means acute, but by the tenderness
of its superficial covering, 4, which affords,"
says Sir Charles, "a more effectual defence
than if our bodies were clothed with the hide
of a rhinoceros."

Coal Trade of the Lakes,
The amount of coal received at Erie, last
year, was 126,159 tons; and at. Cleveland
221.,390 tons. These are the two great re
ceiving ports for coal, and from there it is
shipped up and down the, lake. The coal
received at Erie was ail Pennsylvania coal
and of that delivered at Cleveland, about
one-fourth was from Pennsylvania, and the
rest from Eastern Ohio. This would make
a total of 181,506 tons Pennsylvania coal
shipped to the lakes, equal, at' twenty-five
bushels to the ton, to 4,537,650 bushels.

With Rambles of a Geologist, or Ten Thousand Miles twer

BY TUE LATE HUGH MILLER.
12m0., pp. 524. Cloth, $1.25.
Nearly the whole of a large edition of this work has been
exhausted by orders in advance of publication. Nothing
need be said of it save that it possesses the same fascination
for the reader that characterizes the author's other works.
[From the Boston JournaL)
its style alone would render it charming: lint that its
simply the translucent medium for conveying the choicest
beauties of ram ecientatie knowledge; for accurate, yet
brilliant sketches, each of whose subjects stamps itself ups]:
tho mental retina, for noble and ferreaching views, anif
warm healthful emotions."
[From the N. Y. Evening Post.]
"The work displays the great Geologist's strong, compre
heneive sense, his keen observation of nature. his learning,
and terse and graphic simplicity of style, which imparts a
high and peculiar value to all bis writings. * *
the whole, we think Ibis volume is likely to prove the most
popular of all the writings which the philosopher of Scot
land has bequeathed us."
[prom the Phila. Presbyterian.]
" The work has a double charm of a scientific treatise of
high merit, and a glowing and most eloquently written nar
rative of travel." . .
[From the Boston Cmrier
"It has those marked and characteristic merits which
have given to the previous publications of the lamented
writer so wide a circulation, and so enduring a popularity.
Indeed we predict for the present work an anrumal degree
of public favor, becatise there is in it so ranch of animated
description and spirited narrative."
, From the Christian Register.]
"The writer's style has almost become a proverb, for
perspicuity, terseness, and Strength; which, with his keen
observation, generous sentiments, and genial humor.
im
part a peculiar charm to all his works, and to none more so
than to that before ,in
[From the Eastern Argos.]
"To all interested in natural science, and particularly in
Geology. the book will prove a rich treat. • s * Inter
woven with the scientific information conveyed in a popular
style, is the interesting narrative of his tours, ftill of Inci
dents and historical allusions."
[From tbe Boston Transcript . :
"If Hugh - Hiller had written nothing but this, it would
be sufficient to give him enduring fame as an original dis
coverer in science, a profound thinker, a powerful imagina
tive creator, and a master of a most captivating English
style,"

FLEHLIbiG'S PLEA
DR. M'LANE'S
CELEBRATED
VERMIFUG
AND
LIVER PILLS.
wE beg leave to call the atm.
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physician s of the
country, to two of the most pop e _
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. Chas. l 'Lanes Celebrated
Verinifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them ac
universal Cure-alls, but simply f or
what their name purports, viz.:
THE VERMIFIJGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BiLious DERANGEMENTS, SICK
HEAD-ACHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele
brated Vermifug,e and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and com
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to
MENG BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealers and Physicians ordering fiom others
than Fleming Bros., will do well to write their mks
&slimily, and take none but Dr. ?Inane's, prepared by
Fleeting Bros. Pittsburgh, Pa. To those wishing to give
them a trial, we will forward per mail, paid paid, to any
part of the United States, one hos of Pills for twelve
three-cent postage stamps, or ono vial of Teradfuge for
fourteen three-cent stamps. All orders from Canada must
be accompanied by twenty cents extra.
