For the Proebyterku Banner and Advocate Extract from a Letter written by a Mother to her Son. "It is appointed unto men onos to die, but after this the Judgment. Awfully solemn nre these words to every undying soul. Yet how do we ward off this dread reality that awaits us all, by endeavoring to feel that it lilt spoken to us ; that we can, in some way, evade Or: realization or it Eitel delusion. We are the very persons spoken to, and that niimt pass through those trying scenes of death and judgment. Then will we know the awful realities of eternity. We must appear disembodied spirits, in the presence of that holy and just Gad, who knows the most secret thoughts rind intents of the heart, and who will judge us according to the deeds done in the body. One hour's rEfleotion each day will bring us to feel that wo have a part to not in that sal omn scene, from which wo cannot escape. If reason is not dethroned, death may bring us to feel where we stand. But it may be too late. " The sweet drawings of the Spirit of God may have left us, and mercy long slighted may never again be offered. 'But while there is life, there is hope.' Oh ! fly to the outstretched arms of a crucified Saviour, and give yourself to him, by a living, active faith, and rest upon his righteous• nese alone for salvation; plead for the Holy Spirit to enlighten the darkened mind—to sanc tify the heart, to purify the affections, and to grant that peace which religion only eau give, and only a pardoned sinner can feel: Mortina.” Expensive Churches. Dr. Wayland is opposed to the erection of expensive churches, and the employment of ministers at high ealories, because in this way the masses of the people are excluded from the Church, and turned over to the devil. Ile says that "if we keep on in our present course, building expensive churches, and keeping up our expensive worship, our population will all be heathen " eventually. Rich Christians will gratify their pride; however, at whatever sacrifice to the reli• gious interests of others.—.N. Evangelist pins gigartmtnt, Public Documents. We have received from our courteous member of Congress, the Hon, David Ritchie, Parte 1., II , [ l 111., of "Vol. 86, of the Congressional Globe, and Vol, 87 of the Appendix thereto, for which he will please accept our thanks. Washington. In the lime of Representatives, the bill of im peachment against Judge Watrous failed. The effort to repeal the section of the Kansas bill, of last Session, which provides that the peo. ple may not be organized into a State, till there shall he a population entitled to a representative in Congress, has not yet succeeded. The Com mittee on Territories report against the repeal. Direct efforts to carry the measure are yet to be made. A. disgraceful renoontre between Mr. English of Indiana, and Mr. Montgomery, of Pennsylvania, occurred on the street, last week. Mr. M. passed Mr. E. with a slight, and Mr. E. pursued and struck him a heavy blow with a cane, and then drew a dagger for defence, and retreated. So says report. The Miltary Committee will refuse to report the bill for the increase of the Army. The Judiciary Committee will shortly report a bill amending tbe neutrality laws, and removing hindrances to commerce. The Secretary of War expresses the opinion that the proposed military occupation of Sonora and Chihuahua, so far from requiring any in crease of the army, will have exactly the oppo site effect. But it appears that several Mexicans have gone back to Mexico to resist, or to organise a resistance to occupation of Sonora and Chihua hua by our troops, according to the recommenda tion in the President's Message. In the Senate, Mr. Cameron, of Pa., has made quite a strong speech in favor of his proposition for specifie duties. The statistics and facts which he furnished relative to the Iron liminess, were instructive. He showed that: The iron manufacturer gives an impetus to our agricultural and commercial interests. The man ufacture of a thousand tons of pig iron employs seventy men, or, with their families, supports three hundred and fifty persons, earning annually $21,000. The present manufacture of a million of tons represents immense and varied agrioultn. ral, commercial, and financial interests. He quoted certificates from Philadelphia and Boston niaohinlets, showing that the low price of foreign iron is not advantageous to their business, which is better when all branches of industry ere active. The prices of British iron fluctuate `greatly; for instance, the quotations for pig iron at Glasgow have fluctuated from $3O to $10.60, and for bar iron from $69.60 to $25. How, then, can wejas tify a system of duties which is liable toenail fluc tuations and uncertainty ? Besides, advalorem duties induce the import of inferior iron, which has been the cause of accidents on railroads, wearing from fifteen to seventy per oentum, while good American iron wears only' one per cent. Mr. Cameron saw no remedy but the establish ment of a specific duty. An advalorem duty of thirty per oPntum on the average New York mar ket price for the past five years, gives $9.96 per ten. Iron masters will be content with a specific duty of $9 per ton for bar iron. The effort of Mr. Clingumn to call up his resolu tion to abolish the Clayton.Bulwer treaty, was defeated. In executive session, the appointment of C. N. Pine, editor of the Chicago herald, was confirmed, as U. S. Marshal for the Northern District of 1111- nois. All the Illinois appointments which were made during the recess of Congress, were con• firmed without oppositiOn, together with the up riutments made in the other States. The treaties with China and Japan were rati fied, The appointment of the Hon. William Preston as Minister to Spain; Gen. Ward, of Georgia, as Minister to CJina.; and Hon. J. Glancy Jones, as Minister to Austria, were also confirmed. On the confirmation of the last named appointment, there was a party division in the vote. In the debate on the Paoifio Railroad bill, an amendment was adopted, 25 to 28, that the Road shall be built exclusively of American iron. If this feature shell he preserved, it will be a great thing, for the Missouri iron works. The Central American complication is becoming disentangled : Official papers, communicated to Congress by the President, show that letter writers have made great misrepresentations. The visit to the Washington, in the waters of San Juan, is satisfacterily explained. There seems to be a full understanding between our Government and Sir Wm. Gore Onsley, the British Minister. The latter is endeavoring to effect a treaty with Nicaragua, by which the Mosquito Protectorate will be surrendered, and with Honduras, by which the Bay Islands will be given up. This will terminate the British claims in that region, and leave our Monroe doctrine intact. Mr. Dal las, also, has sent from England information of the Home Government's disposition cordially to enter into honorable and eatiefactory arrange men e The French explanations of purpose are not given so fully, but they are likely to be satisfied with American and British arrangements. - The Spanish have distinctly stated to our Gov ernment, that their demonstration against Mex ico is not for territorial acquisition, or political sway, hat to enforce claims for damages. Thus the gathering clouds begin to disperse, and sunshine visits tho political firmament. The matter of the wanderer and the cargo of slaves landed at Jekyl Island, near Brunswick, Oa., Is still Involved in some mystery. One report says, that Secretary Cobb was Informed of the purpose of bringing in the slaves, in order to have a legal decision on the constitutionality of the law prohibiting the slave trade. Another . report affirms that the Wanderer brought no slaves, but that they were landed from another vessel, which was scuttled and sunk, after having done the deed. The trial of three of the crew, ar.S l rannah, is bringing out facts. It is lilt ely to be tedious. Congress adjourned from December 231 to January 3tb, to keep the llellidays. DE.O. 21.—An association called the Mexican and Central American Colonization Association, is said to be widely ramified throughout the country, comprising already two thousand navies!, including many persons of wealth. Their pro• ceeclings thus far aro enveloped in mystery. It is reported that Gen. Henningsen has been selected to carry out their operations, or at least an offer to that effect has boon made to him. Pennsylvania Fanners' High-School. Of this School, looated in Centre County, we spoke', some two months ago. We recur to it again, to notico the proceedings of a meeting of the Directors, held at Harrisburg on the Bth ult., in relation to the admission of students. Ordered by the Board—That the Institution will open on the third Wednesday of February, and will close on the third Wednesday of Deoem ber of every year. Students will be admitted on the following con ditions: Ist. They must not be under the. age of sixteen years. 2d. They. must be qualified by possessing et least a good knowledge of reading, writing, geography, arithmetic, and grammar; and an acquaintance with the elements of natural philosophy, geometry, and algebra, will be an. additional olaim to admission. 33. They must present satisfactory evidence of good, moral char acter and industrious habits, and must pledge themselves to observe the rules and regulations of the Institution, among which will bo the follow: ing : All students will be required to perform every description of labor necessary at the Insti tution, whether on the farm, in the shops, or at or about the College buildings ; and three hours of active labor may be required each day, but no more, unless upon some special exigency. All kinds of labor will be equally honored, and excel lence therein will constitute a ground of merit equally with profioiency in other branches of study and practice. One hundred students, from the different Counties of the State, in proportion to the taxa ble inhabitants, (ratio 6,7960 will be received up to January 15th, 1859. Applications must be made through the constitutional officers of the County Agricultural Sneleties; and where such Societies do not exist or fail to present, then by the applicant directly. All applications to be addressed to W. G. Waring, Farm-School Post Office, Centre County, Pa. In case of the failure of application from any county, the vacancy will be filled by the Board of Trustees, from the sur plus applicants of other counties. One hundred dollars, paid in advance, ehall be the charge for tuition, boarding, washing, fuel, light, and books, for each session of ten months. Students should bring (beside their ordinary apparel,) comfortable clothing suitable for farm work, to be worn only when at work. It is im portant that all students be present at the com• mencement of the. session, and no reduction can be made upon the sum required to be paid. Dececised. Robert M. Riddle, Esq , long the editor of the Commercial /auras/ of this city, died at the resi dence of his brotherin-law, on Saturday morning last, in the 47th year of his age. Mr. it. was elected in ISSB Mayor of Pittsburgh, by the Whigs, and served one term, that is, one year, with great acceptance. Pittsburgh Business, R. A. Cunningham, Esq., assessor, furnishes the following figures, showing the increased busi ness of the city as compared with the last trien nial asseestuent--Number of business houses in 1858, 1512; do. do. 1855, 1109. Increase 403. Amount of sales in 1858, $26,456,370; do. do. 1855, $18,075;210. increase in three years ' $8• 381,160. This increase would probably have amounted to fifteen millions, had not the crash of 1857 880 materially curtailed trade. As it is, the figures show a very gratifying increase. Trial of Fort Pitt Cannon. The trial of the Fort Pitt cannon, on the protr• hag ground in Neg ley's Hollow, near East Liberty, is still going on. Up to Monday, the 18th inst., 2,200 rounds, from each, had been fired, and both guns still sound. Fifteen pounds of powder are used at a single charge, making the aggregate amount consumed in this trial, 66,000 pounds ! The object would seem to be answered already, as no gun in use will ever be required to stand such a tremendous test.—Pittsburgh Gazette. A Sad Accident, A terrible 'steam•boiler explosion occurred in the sugar refinery of Mr. Belcher, in St.,Louis, on Saturday, by which four persons were killed and several others were severely wounded, two of whom will probably die. A portion of the build ing was shattered, and such was the force of the explosion that a piece of the boiler, weighing over five thousand pounds, was thrown upwards of one hundred and fifty feet.

IVlOttrvc, Dec. 21.—1 t is stated here, on the beat authority, that the schooner Susan sailed for Nicaragua, with the firm determination on the part of the leaders of the expedition, not to allow the British, or any other foreign power, to stop them without resisting till blood is drawn. Their purpose being to test the clißputed boats of the international law, or to compel England b make an early exposure of the grounds of her assumed protectorate over the San Juan Rirer end its ad • jecent territory.

Wool Growing in Texas Wool growing is steadily increasing in Texas; and the State will soon number its flocks by hun. dreds of thousands. The San Antonio Herald says that Captain Sweet, late of Laporte, Indiana, has just returned from Mexico, whither he went last Fall to purchase sheep for himself and a•Mr. Parish, late of Missouri.

It was the day upon which the Female Missionary Society met, and she wished to meet with them to pay in, not what constituted a Member, but four times that amount, to the Foreign Missions, for which she felt a deep interest. She also desired to renew her subscription to one- of the Weekly religious jnirnals of. the Church. These /set acts were noble, and worthy to be told as a memorial , of her, wherever the Gospel is preached. She man ifested her interest in Christ's kingdom, by giving punotually to spread abroad the news of salva tion, and continuing her-name among the list of those who are so much interested in the Church's prosperity as to seek to inform themselves of what the Church is doing, and how far the king?. dom of Christ is extending. - DIED—In Prairie Bird, Shelby:County, Illinois, March sth, Lams EM IA, infant daughter of Jer emiah and Sarah Lannum, aged 3 months and 6 days.

Thus the tender plant, plucked from the parent stock, and transplanted to a more genial soil, is, ' in few short months, joined in the spirit world by the parent stock itself. Mr.Lannum had recently emigrated from Pennsylvania to Illinois, with a small and promising family, full of hope , and anti cipations for the future ; but those fond antici pations were soon blasted by the stroke of death. In the bloom arid vigor of life he was called away from earth, leaving behind him the important lesson, that we know not what a day may bring forth, and always to be ready for our change whenever it may come. .11 , 1 . r - Lanntun was em phatically a kind and affectionate husband, an honest and good citizen, and charitable and be nevolent in his disposition; and though he had never united with the Church by public profeesion of faith in Christ, he manifested a loVe for the house of GOI and the ordinances of religion,-and spared no pains to place himself and his family under their sacred influence.

Jesus Christ achieved a -glori. ons triumph. W.- Dash—Or Croup, at Ebensburg, Pa., on the 20th of Oetober, HIRAM GROSS, son of Dr. ' D. W., and Mrs. Maria Lewis, aged two years, seven months, and four days. Iu this instance, death came it arfunexpected' lion; expressing to • a relative his entire conft_ time. On the morning previous to his decease, dence in the Saviour and willingness "to depart little Hiram occupied his usual place at the and' be with Christ" In the -language of, the breakfast table. Symptoms of disease appeared friend just referred to, "Mr. C.". 14 Christiaulenjoy on that and the following day, hut no danger was meats in. his last sickness were truly delightful, apprehended till a few hours before he fell asleep abounding in thanksgiving and praise to his God in death. There is much in this bereavement to and Saviour, for the goodness manifested to his aggravate the affliction, but there is much more soul. A few hours before his death,' when his to soothe and comfort the hearts' that God has family were :convened for prayer, lie met them smitten. The deceased was a bright and happy with a heart overflowing with a Saviour's love, Notices. Presbyterial arritb's F hituarg. child. His naturally active and ardent tempera ment was often the occasion of much solicitude to the devoted parents, who anxiously 'watched over his forming habits, and whose great• desire was, that his heart and principles might, in youth, be brought under sound religious influence. Their fears for his safety, and hopes for his usefulness in life, on this account, were frequently exalted to the highest pitch. But God, who said, " take this child and nurse , it for me, and I will pay you wageri," has early released them from the solemn responsibility. The dark providence that turned their house into a scene of mourning and lamenta tion, gives also grounds for gratitude and praise. He who has unquestionable claim to all, and to aoy in a family, here took the one that could beet be spared, and that was best prepared for an in heritance in his kingdom. Heaven now wins the attraction that earth .has lost. The afflictiOn is tempered with , the sweet balm of hope. Grace enables thelather and the mother to say, "1110 well with the child." - N. Dran—On Friday morning, December Bd, Mr. LOOSHAILT LEIORTON, at his own residence, in Knox County,Jll., in the.s6th year of .his : age. : Mr. Leighton was a native of Scotland; a graduate of King's College, Aberdeen. He was employed as a public teacher eleven or twelve years; was chosen and qualified as a Ruling Elder in the parish of Strachatt, Keneardinflfire ; emigrated to the city of New York in 1886, where he was emploYed as a proof-ieader of the .Zion's Watchman. In - 1838 he came to this County and State, and united with the Knoxville Presby terian church. In the Spring.of 1855, he joined in the tformation of the John , IKnox Presbyterian church; and was unanimously -elected a Ruling Elder, and placed over this band of the followers of Christ, as one of the rulers in God's house, He was appointed clerk of ,Session, and remained at his post till` the ;Master came and called him to the mansion prepared for him in the Church above. Mr: L. also filled important offices of public trust with'great fidelity. Few men are as well qualified to take the lead, either in Church or state, and'accomplish successively the most important restate; yet his timid and retiring dis position kept him from doing all that he was so eminently qualified to perform. He would have stood as a'watchman upon the walls of Zion, but his nervous and tremulous nature kept him from the important post. He was a counsellor at the portals . of God's house, and a lover of its sacred ordinance& The writer became more intimately acquainted with him during his protracted sick , fleas, and was drawn more closely to him by,the ties of Christian love, as days and weeks rolled • on. ,Our seasons of communion and prayer were very pleasant, and doubtless profitable to both. He, was patient and submissive to God's will in all things, relying upon the merits of a crucified Redeemer. As he approached still nearer the close of life, the graces of the Spirit shined more brightly, his feeble voice was raised in exhortation nad warning to the careless aud prayerless, and in - words of comfort to the sorrowful, the followers of the Lamb. The day before he yielded up his spirit to Him who gave it, he called his family around him, delivering each one his dying mea -1 sage, and gave them all the parting hand, and at last, when the closing scene came, in the embrace of his faithful and devoted wife, he fell asleep in Jesus Thus passed away to the land of the bleat, a husband, brother, father, Mend, much beloved; and a highly respected and a valuable citizen. Hence I may safely "Write,:blessed are dead which die in the Lord." J.T.B. DrEn—At Kirksville, Adair County, Mo., Nov Ist, Mrs. ELIZABETH, wife of Mr. - James P Bes,tti, aged 69 years. The deceased was formerly a resident, of Fair field County, Ohio, whence she moved, in com pany with her bereaved husband, on the let of October last, to spend the residue of her days.- with her daughters, in Missouri. By the sup porting grime of God, she endured-the fatigues of the journey, and was again restored to the embraces of ± her affectionate daughters, though in very feeble health. She bad been a consistent member of the Old School Presbyterian Church for near half a century, during the most of which time she was connected with the congregation at West Rushville, Ohio, near her old home. Her ardent zeal for the cause of Christ, led her to take an active part with the ladies of the congre gation in all their efforts . to build up the Redeemer's kingdom upon the earth. She was especially fond of instrueting,the young, and was therefore an active teacher in the Sabbath School, so long as , her health would permit. Her memory will no doubt be cherished with fondness by many of those who have listened to her timely warn ings and 'wholesome instructions, while she sustained to them the relation of Sabbath School teacher. In all the relations of life, she- acted the part of a, devoted Christian. The announce ment of her death has caused to flow the tear of mingled, joy and -grief; joy, because she has ceased from her labors, and is now receiving, her reward in heaven; yet of grief, because in her was found a constant and trustworthy friend,' an affectionate and praying mother, and a faithful and -devoted- wife. Her spirit , quietly took its flight without a struggle, or scarcely an emotion. No pain or mental anxiety accompanied the dissolution- of soul and body. Not a care, nor even an anxious thought, appeared to rest upon her mind. All was peace, and she quietly awaited the Master's appointed time. " The Angel of the Covenant Was come, and, faithful to his promise, stood, Prepared - to walk with her through death's dark vale; And now her eyes grew bright; and brighter still, Too brightfor ours tolook upon, suffnsed. With many tears, and.closed,without acloud." ' -Her work on earth was dime, and she *Ls peacefully, received to her reward in heaien. I , For her to live was Christ, to-die was gain." Disn--On the 2d _inst., at his residence near Wes‘Newton, Pad, Mr. Jona CAROTHERS, in the nth year of his age. Mr. 0: was born in Westmoreland County, in which he continued to reside until his death. He early became a subjeet of grace, and a Member of the church under the ministry of Rev. Dr. Power, with whose daughter, .Isabella, after ward united in marriage. As one of the pioneers of Western Presbyterianiem, it was his privilege to participate, in the remarkable revival scenes of 1802, , 1803, and 1804. His piety was not os tentatious, but humble and sincere. Distinguished for his kindness and charity, his house was the home of the Christian minister, and his hos. pitility was shared alike by the poor and th e rich. ge was an affecstionate father, an obliging neighbor, and a warin-hearted friend. Mr. C. was:blest with remarkable health and vigor, until within a few months of his death, from which time his - unueual strength appeared gradually to decline; but death was not thought to be near at hand, until a day or two before his departure 7 The disease--diabetes—was succeeded by phi retie pneumonia, which terminated fatally in a few heirs. - His last sufferings, which were in tense, he bore with great patience and sublets- and engaged' in 'a remarkable 'prayer, mating" humble confession of his sins, and imploring for giveness ; committing his Boni to Christ, and his family to the care of his covenant-keeping God." °Bevan AND BANJUL'S CELEBEATEE!
