°Wing entirety to the following causes, to
wit : abet& the time above mentioned, our
beloved and re.speoted pastor was advised by
one of his session at that time, that his
Few:thing was not acceptable to his congre
gation. On that intimation, the pastor,
Bei. R. W. Henry, promptly requested
that the pastoral relation between him and
the church should be dissolved. On learn
ing-the cause, the congregation almost un
animously retused to agree to this dissolu
tion, and expressed the warmest affection
for the pastor and the most unbounded
confidence in his ability and fidelity; at the
same time they assured the session of their
esteem, and earnestly requested that all
difficulties might be healed. Notwithstand
ing this, the Session withdrew, without as
signing any reason therefor, so far as known
to this congregation, taking with them their
families and personarfriends. The congre
gation, though seemingly weakened in mem
bers and means by this exodus, at once
elected'other elders, and voluntarily :sub
scribed 'sufficient to
,support the pastor and
the expenses of church. The property,
lea Pieebyteriail
church, is claimed by a gentleman of this
city, on the ground that he had paid for the
land; and that he and those who left the
church, as above mentioned, contaibuted
mainly to the erection of the church edifice.
Intimations' were freely circulated that the
pastor and congregation would ; , be ousted
from the premises; and such was the un
certainty of the ;tenure, by which it was
held, that numbers were prevented from
joining it Notwithstanding this, the
church has been, under the circumstances,
eminently blessed, (having now a member
ship, numbering eighty-four, persons, and a
Sabbath Scheid of about one hundred and
fifty children:} Recently, it was understood
that the gentleman - who claims this property
was
by
to the occupancy of
it the congregation as now organized,
with Mr. Henry as pastor, though he was
perfectly willing: that_the congregation should
remain, if they wouliselect arpastor whose
views would harmonize with those of the
Old School Presbyterian Church, as under
stood by the pastor in the North'Church and
Though assured that Mr. Henry endorsed
the views of the Old School General Assem
bly, especially on the slavery question, his
objections to him werenotrremoveil. or weak
ened. On learning this, lir. Henry deter
mined no longer to remain, however inno
cently, as a cause of offence, and 'concluded
to leave the,property and premises where his
occupancy was thus opposed; the congrega
tion:at Once and unanimously decided against
the separation .of the pastoral relations ex
isting. between' him and the 'church, but
fully appreciating the high feeling of .deli
caoythat prompted his action,,and entirely
concurring in his views, believing at the
same time, that a relief from the incubus
whiCh financial power had so long ,pressed .
down upon them, would enable the congre
gation to grow and expand most rapidly, and
believing also that it was a solemn duty to
(10 . all in their, power to prevent this young,
active, and highly favored church from be=
lug' broken up and scattered ;therefore,
Resolved, That this congregation will no
longer occupy the premises' where they have
worshiped' for nearly two years past, and
where, while t'hey-have enjoyed the blessing
, Of God's Spirit, they have also suffered
severely and innocently from the actions and
views of others; and that while with.hearts
overburdened with grief, they thus. leave
their beloved Zion, they have a perfect con
sciousness that no other course is open to
them - without sacrificing every right most
dear to them as Presbyterians, especially that
liberty Wherecrith Christ makes his people
free.
Resolved, That with humble reliance on
the assistance and direction of the Almighty,
they will go forth and build, where, however
Vumble the edifies), they can worship with
none to make them afraid`; and although
their means are very small, their reliance on
the good providence of God is unbounded.
Resolved, That hereafter the congregation
will worship in the Railroad Chapel, near
the depot of the Michigan-Southern Road;
Via such time as • their owniedifice can be
prepared, and in' the• meantime they propose
that their beloved pastor shall take a 'season
of rest and relaxation; suggesting further,
that if any are willing to aid in this enter

&EARL= CORTES, July 7th, ISSB.
Da., Mcllreinwr-r--Dear , :—We went
Aboard this vessel ,on Friqay, 2d inst.,
.at 9
o'clock A. M. ; -but owing to the extreme
diticulty ,of procuring a crew, the ship was
detained until ,4 o'clock A. M., on Satur
day. We left San Francisco, therefore, at
that time, with about eight hundred passen
gers, the majority of whom are botend for
the gold region on Frazer's river: The
weather was cold and unpleasant until yes
teiday in the afternoon, when the wind fell,
and the Hun ` once more made its appearanoe.
The - Fourth, coming on Sabbath, was not
celebrated Until Monday. A band of musi
cians; who ire bound for Victoria, Venom,
ver's Island, gave us somemusic which
was, in part, patriotic, and seeming like the
Fourth of July. This, however, was the
extent`of the celebration.

the cape by a narrow passage of water, per
haps one hundred feet in width. Cape
Flattery is the extreme North-West point of
the United States. It is steep and rooky,
covered with shrubs and dwarf timber.
Owing to our ship not being cleared from
the Custom House in San Francisco, we bad
to sail to Port Townsend before going to
Victoria. We arrived at the latter port at
5 o'clock A. NI., Thursday morning. It is
a town of fifteen to twenty houses. Bar•
racks on the opposite side of the bay. Cuss
tom House built of brick, two stories, and
one hotel large enough to accommodate
twenty persons. The slooop of war, Jeffer
son Davis, lies at anchor in the harbor, to
preserve order and keep the Indians straight.
A number of Indians came in their canoes
to the ship, with fish and clams for sale.
Oar steward was put on shore for selling
provisions to steerage passengers without
orders from the Captain. We left at 7
o'clock for Victoria. Whitby's Island lies
on the opposite side of the, inlet, and is.a
fine farming district. Several openings are
in view. Whitby was killed' by the Indians
alew years since. The Indians are exceed•
ingly jealous of their rights, and no wonder,•
who can blame them ?
The mountains, covered with eternal
snowe, present a fine appearance. They are
so grand and lofty,' that I shall leave a de
. .
sertptton of them' for the pen of
. a more
ready writer than the present incumbent.
Suffice it to stay, they are "grand, gloomy,
and pecuii ar ; "mocking the changes and
the change of time ; eternal, beautiful, se
rene, and sublime." The clouds seem to
lie along their base, and their tops bask in
the clear sun-light; but too high, for his rays
to make an impression.
We landed in the harbor of Esquimalt at
12 o'clock M., Thursday. This harbor is
two and a half miles from Victoria, but is
safer than the one by the town. The steam
ship Orizaba was anchored a few hours
previous to our arrival: She had on board
one thousand passengers, and the scene pre
sented was one of confusion and disorder,
generally. All the passengers and freight
have to be 'taken to shore in small vessels,
such as sail-boats, skiffs, and canoes, the
latter of which are manned by' Indians, with
squaws and paposes. I went ashore with an
aged Sioux, in.company' with three other
passengers. He could not apeak English,
but he understood, the use of money. Our
party footed it to Victoria: Here was a
spectacle which baffles description. The
town consists of about one hundred houses;
but now its population is estimated at five
thousand, the majority of whom are waiting
for an opportunity to embark for Frazer's
river, in order to dig the golden ore. A
large portion live in tents, and cook their
own provisions, and smoke their own pipes
and cigars; and occasionally take a little
wine. Brandy and whisky are substitutes;
however; in, many instances:
The Hudson'a Bay Company control mat
ters here. They have a number of substan
tial buildings, consisting of storehouses, offi
cee, &c. The' Governor of the Island, Mr.
Douglas; resides in the outskirts of the
town, in „a plain, but neat building, white
frame. He is married to a Sioux squaw. I
do not admire his taste in selecting a parts
nee, for life; but policy, no doubt, was an
inducement, as the Indians are the people
with whom the English traffic. ' I returned
to the ship before dark, and soon after re
tired, considerably fatigued. This morning
I awoke refreshed, and after breakfast, con
eluded' to write you a few lines. shall
finish this letter after arriving at Olympia,
Providence permitting-
I should perhaps state that there are,
many persons without money, in Victoria,
who are objects of charity. One poor fel
10, , / has just come aboird our ship to work
his passage to San Francisco. There is a
great deal of suffering in the neighborhood
of the Mines. What a deplorable , condi
tion I What a Sad state of affairs ! Ex
citement brought the people to California,
and excitement takes them away. "The
same cause producing the Same effect."
When will the people , learn to be contented
"With their situation; and not risk an uncer
tainty - instead of enjoying a competence ?
Some men in good circumstances have sold
their property for a trifle, and are now in a
state of destitution ;l having not even the
means to return. Let those who come to
the Pacific Coast take warning, ere they fall
into the same miserable , dilemma.
We left our anchorage in the Esquimalt
harbor, at 3, _o'clock, P. M., to-day, Friday,
9th inst. We are now bound for Belling
ham Bay. The weather is mild, clear, and
pleasant, something like Fall weather in
Pittsburgh, and resembles Indian Summer.
One mountain appears far in the distance,
to the "starboard," which rises to a great
height above the surrounding' peaks. It is
Mt. Olympus. The distance is so great
that if is covered with snovras far from the
summit,as the mount, itself is visible. It is
eight thoSisand one hundred and ninety.
seven feet (over one and a half miles,) high.
It is nearly in form like a pyramid. We
wind about among the islands of Puget
Sound, changing our course quite fre
quently. I have a chart of the Sound and
islands, published by A. Waddington, which
is said to be reliable. Mt. Baker, in the
Cascade range is' now visible. 'lt is 'seven
teen thousand feet in altitude.; almost three
and a fourth miles above the level of the
ocean. It is a volcanic mountain. When
this chart was published, which Was in May,
this *year, the fires were issuing from its
crater. - From present appearances, there is
pure white snow env
_eloping the whOle 'of it;
but the distance is so great, that with the
naked eye, unassisted by, a telescope, nothing
could certainly be determined in this respect...
We arrived at Bellingham Bay, and cast
anchor at 9 o'clock. Friday P. M. There
are, on this coast, .two towns, Sehome and
Whateum—the Termer containing about five
hundred, and the litter one' thousand in
habitants—one mile apart. Between these'
towns there is, a coal bank, eight feet thick,
from which the: steamships are supplied
with bituminous coal. A fine saw-mill is,
built upon the mouth of the outlet of What
-
cunt Lake, sixty by forty feet; two saws
in operation, sawing pine lumber. Some
pine trees eight and ten feet across the
stump, have been felled by-the woodman's
axe. There are twenty five stores in these
two tewns, one printing press, a post offi.ce,
&e. Opposite, oa the South East side, of
the Bay, stands the Barracks of Uncle Sam,
where troops are stationed. A road is
being cut through from the capital, Olympia,
to this point. The Government has made
an appropriation for that purpose. Men
are working at it now. They expect to
have it cut through in a few weeks. • This
is the most promising site for a city, in my
humble opinion, that I have yet seen.
We left Bellingham Bay at 11* o'clock
this day, Saturday, 10th inst. Going at
the rate of ten miles per hour. Beautiful
weather; sun shines brightly; every thing
looks oheerful. Ina few hours we will be
at Seattle.
I have been introduced to a gentleman
from Olympia, who has resided there for
fiveyears. He states that the population of
the State Capital is about five hundred, and
is rapidly increasing. An appropriation; of
$50,000 was made by Congress, for addi
tional public buildings. There is one Pres
byterian church (0 S.) in the place, and a
fine school, under the direction of the Pres
byterian clergyman, Rev Mr. Whitworth.
The country South of Olympia is a good
farming and grazing district. Wheat, bar
ley, and oats, potatoes, turnips and apples,
pears, plums, and cherries, grow luxuriantly.
Strawberries on the prairies, and whortle
berries on the hills and mountains, as well
as raspberries and blackberries. Not much
danger of starving in such. a country !
'American Mules and Indian horses are
bought by traders, and shipped from Olym
pia to the various ports along the Sound.
Mules sell for $3OO and $4OO at Whateum
and Sehome, on Bellingham Bay. Hoises
bring, according to quality, from $lOO to
$250. Men of capital would do well to set
tle in this country, and engage in farming
and grazing. And those who have not cap
ital, could perhaps do as well here as in
any new country within 'the limits of the
United States School teachers are needed
in these settlements, and- teaching would
pay:well. The people are generally intelli
gent and enterprising. The standard of
morality is higher than' in some other Terri
tories. It will probably compare favorably
with many of the older States in this respect.
I must close this letter, already too long,
and perhaps uninteresting to many of your
readers. At another time, I will give you
furtherparticulars respecting this Territory.
Yours, in Christian fellowship,

wife of Dr. W. T. Hamilton, well known to
a number of your readers, and who with
her felt a deep interest, and took an active
part (was perhaps the originator,), in the
benevolent objects therein mentioned, and
was the pastor, for so many years, of those
churches,, who now occupies an humble,.
but useful sphere in the Church. Feeling:
assured that it will be read with interest by

081 VARY
Departed this life in. Mobile, on Saturday, the
24th inst , Mrs. CHAIMOTTB ELIZABIRTH , HADILLTON,
in the 70th ,year of her age, and after a long life
of devoted and unwavering piety, alleles secures
a bright record on high; and leaves a fragrance
of sweet and pleasant memories to those who
loved and knew her. The grave has seldom
closed over one • more true, affectionate and de-
voted in all the relations of life, more zealous and
active in the cause of her Saviour. For twenty
years she was the model pastor' 8, wife of the Gov
ernment Street church of this place, and for
twelve years of the First Presbyterian church of
Newark. She was a ministering angel to the be
reaved, the sick, _ and the wearied- spirit; the
watchful, unfailing friend of the orphan, and ever
caused the " widow's" heart to sing for joy.
Many will remember her associations with the
orphan in the awful pestilence of '39, as one and
another was successively cast upon her care, and.
she was forced proniinently borers the public as
one of the beloved founders of the " Protestant
Orphan Asylum" of this city. During that, sea
son of sorrow, sickness, desolation, and death,
she Was actively engaged in nursing the sick, re
lieving the destitute, comforting the widow and
gathering together the bereaved and destitute
orphans. At one time she had as many as this ty
under her care and protection. The widow and
the orphan always shared•her sympathies - and at
tention. Once a year while in health, and in
Newark on every Christmas.day, the poor widows
of the churoh were invited to her house, to share
her hospitality and . -her benefactions. It was a
beautiful tribute to her worth and virtne ' on the
day of her funeral, after the family had taken
the last look at the cold remains of their venera
ble and beloved mother and relative, to see the
widows go up to the, lifeless body of their de
parted friend . and benefactress, and impress upon
her marble forehead the parting kiss of - affection.
The cause of Zion lay ever near her heart, and
she lived to promote its success and rejoice in its
prosperity. tier sympathies flowed out in all
their tenderness to the " seamen," and for years
she was their efficient,friend and Warm supporter.
The " Bethel Chapel," and the " Seaman's
Home," were established in a great measure by
her active labers and efficient exertion& Whose
charity was not awakened, and whose zeal in this
cause was not increased, by her warm , appeals in
its behalf, and the liberal contributions she was
able to. make, (obtained at home and abroad,)*for
those who "go down to the sea in ships, and do
business on the mighty waters ?"
Nor did her work end here. Her heart was
capacious enough to embrace the whole tvor/d(in
its affections, and , she joyfully received the intel
ligence of the progress of Christianity in its
march over heathendom and the distant "isles of
the sea." , In the day of her strength, many will
remember her seal for missions, and the "con
tribution boxes" she sent to distant stations, to
aid and encourage the devoted missionary in his
toils, sacrifices and "labors of love." She re
oeived many tokens of their kind remembrance,
and several "Heathen Sabbath School" •chil
dren, bearing - her notneotere taught to honor and
bless her.
For years the ladies belonging to her church,
and the Mends of missions, would meet monthly
at her house, and in the spirit that characterized
the "Lydian and Dorcases " of old, work for the
heathen and pray for I he success and extension of
the'Redeemer's kingdom. It may not be amiss
in this'connexion to-remark, while living in New
ark, the labors and services of this excellent and
good woman were, if possible, even more active
and successful. The " Lydia Society," organ
ized to supply the poor heathen with clothing,
and the." Dorcas Society," to furnish clothing
for the destitute of:Newark, were chiefly indebted
to her for , their existence and for their useful
ness. She was also instrumental in forming a
Society -in that city to. assist young men who were
preparing forthe ministry, and several, who are
now active and useful ministers of the everlast
ieg Gospel, are indebted to her exertions, and
the assistance she obtained through the in
strumentality of others, for the successful prose
cution of their studies. In Newark, she, was
greatly beloved and' highly esteemed, and the
news of her death will be associated with de
lightful reminiscences of her active and useful
While thus laboring in the discharge of the du
ties desiolving upon a pastor's
,wife, she was not
unmindful of her . home, - ita'comforts . or its inter
ests. She was even• thoughtful, provident and
particular in all her domestic arrangements.
She assumed oheerfully, and discharged faithfully,
the responsibilities and duties .of wife,. mother,
mistress and *lend. Her domestics (generally
colored) were taught ,by her to read their llibles,
and often has she been seen' wending her way to
the Colored Sabbath School, there to teach this class
of our population, their duty, to God and man, - and,
to lead them on in the way , of life and peace.
To discharge these responsible duties, and to
do it so well and so successfully, it may readily
be supposed that Mrs. Hamilton was no ordinary
woman.. She had a strong mind, and it was well
improved by reading and study In the grand
movements of the Church, and in the benevolent
operations of the day, few were so well enlight
ened and informed. She was a safe counselor,
and was distinguished for good, strong common
sense. In the days of her health, vigor and use
fulness, she exercised no little influence upon
those with whom she came in contact. Her sound
views, her forcible reasons, and her safe Conclu
sions, generally enabled her to carry her point.
If overruled, there was often cause to'regret that
her advice was not taken. But a life of activity
and usefalness mast close—and in this case the
enclwas peace. Though prostrated for more than
a year by severe illness, and her capacity for en
durance was tried to its utmost extent by every
form of suffering, her faith never faltered, and
her agony witnessed to a spirit not only of serene
submission to God's will, but trust in his promises,
and cheering anticipations of the glorious rest
beyend the vale. " For her to live was Christ, to
die was gain." A FAISSID.
HALF WORK.-A man sometimes suffers
himself to be lulled asleep by the agreeable
voice of a flattering world, which praises the
pastor for performing onelalf of his duty,
while God condemns him for the neglect of
he other..-Quesnel.

The Oracles of God.
It is a matter of congratulation that the
Bible has passed triumphantly thruagh the
ordeal of verbal criticism. English infidels, li
of the last century raised a preinatroe
over the discovery and publication of so many
various readings. They imagined that the
popular mind would be rudely and thor
oughly shaken, that Christianity waild be
placed in imminent peril of extinction., and
that - ale Church would lie dispersed an&
ashamed at the sight of the tatzered sloe&
of its Magna Chorea. But the result has
all their hopes, and the Oracles- of
God are found to have been preserved' in.
immaculate- integrity. The storm which
shakes the oak only loosens the earth armed ,
its roots, and its violence enables the tresto ,
strike its roots deeper into the soil. &pit
is that Scripture has gloriously surreounited;
every trial. There gathers around it a desse
" cloud of witnesses," from the ruins of Nin
eveh and the valley of the Nile; from the
slabs and bas•retie/s of Sennaeherib and Owl
tombs and monuments of Pharaoh ; from the'
rolls of Chaldee paraphrasts and Syrian vele
.sionists ; from the- cells and libraries or
monastic scribes, and the dry and dusty la
bors of scholars and antiquarians.-. Our
resent Bibles are undiluted by the lapse of
ages. These Oracles, written amid such
strange-diversity of time, place, and condi
tion—among the sands and cliffs of Arabia.,
the fields and hills of Palestine, in the pal
ace of I abylon and in the dungeons of
Rome—have come down to us in sucleun
impaired fullness and accuracy, that - we are
placed as advantageously toward them as
:the generation which gazed upon the book of
the law, or those crowds which hung on the
lips of Jesup as he recited a parable on the
shores of the Galilean lake, or those Churches
which received from Paul or Peter one of
their epistles of warning or exposition.
Yes ! the river of life, which issues out
from beneath the throne of God and of the
Lamb, may, as it flows through so many
countries, sometimes bear with it the earthly
evidences of its checkered progress ; but tbe
great volume of its water has neither been
dimmed in its transparency, nor bereft of its
healing virtue.—Nortli, British Review

CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
AND
LIVER PILLS.
WE beg leave to call the atten
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the .Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. Chas. llPLane's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills,
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE VERMIFUGE,
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 Q u i,
nine, they almost invariably m a k e
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 Vermifuge 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
FL ENG BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealers and Physicians ordering from others
than Fleming Bros, will do well to write their orders
distinctly, and take none but Dr. Jriane's, prepared by
Fieming Bros. Pittsburgh, PM To those wishing to give
them a trial, we will forward per mail, post paid, to any
part of the United States, one boa of Pills for twelve
three-cent postage stamps, or one vial of Yermifuge for
fourteen three-cent stamps. All orders from Canada must
be accompanied by twenty cents extra.
