Tor the Preisbytertan Banner and, Advocate South-Western Indiana-;•4.-Pike',-40ouuty: 70 A Presbyterian church was organized - few years since, in-Peterebtirgkethe prounty: seat of Pike 'County. 'Tbere was , truly very little of Presbyterian elegient' to . ;be in the wltifieirekien; for mike' ardurid., whole field had been thoroughly l isown:Vith Arminianism. At se..egrly- day, ,the ties of Cumberlandism:hadcome across , the Ohio, frnin'Southern Kentucky; and had, in , a great ,measure, possessed, tbemselveo of. the country. In this -I Ao.not:,,at, find fault with them. Indeed, their energy and devoted zeal are worthy of imitation by others, and, no doubt, good was done by their labors. Next, our Methodist brethren entered, and labored with their accustomed earnestness and energy of purpose. They sowed extensively, and they have also reaped abundantly. There are also one or two other forms of Arminian faith, though feeble in organization, together with some Baptists. I presume that for the first thirty years after the prime settlement, scarcely one Presbyterian sermon had been preached. A high-wrought style of rant and denuncia tory outpourings, accompanied with fierce invectives against "learning to preach," 44 College' ktrain," eta , characterized the effusion of the preacher, in but too many instances. Of course, the difficulties in the way of our Church, were by no means trifling. The writer was the first Presby terian minister settled in this place, and he has been patiently laboring all the while, sometimes seeming to hope against hope. But in the midst of all these difficulties, our church, oueservices, our doctrines have exerted no small influence. We have a respectable and commodious house of wor -ship, free from debt. Other and inviting fields have been of fered to me since I have been laboring here, but I do not feel willing to abandon a field to which I have already given consid erable labor; toil that would, to human judgment, all be lost, if I were to leave at present. lam consequently anxious to see some portion of the stream of Presbyterian emigration directed hither. Having some knowledge of the matter, -I do not hesitate to affirm, that South-Westernndianeis the beet portion of the State as to its natural advantages and resources. It will bear comparison also with the famed North-West, that Elysium of excited inaginations, where wild speculation has done its work of ruin for so many. But Presbyterians wish to know some thing as to the state of education, and the privileges to be enjoyed in ' this respect. Formerly the state of 4.ings was very low, con fessedly,ap might be easily conjectured. Nor is it yet, by any means, what it ought to be. But there is evident improvement and ad vancement in public sentiment. A longing for something more thorough and expanded in the instruction of the youth, begins to show itself. The writer of this article, in addition to his ministerial labors, conducts an Academy in Petereburgh, in which sev eral teachers are employed. In this insti tution, advantages for the higher order of female education are furnished, as well as provisions for a good Academic course for boys. We, therefore, feel safe in inviting emi grants to divert a littl l e from the ordinary line of travel, and examine a section afford ing all facilities to be desired, and contain ing vast resources as yet but slightly de veloped. I will, in another article, ask the privilege of referring to the - character of this section - -as to health and morals, and to one or two other questions. 'I re. peat my reference to Rev. 'Ehemas •Martin, of this place. A. T HENDRICKS. Petersburgh, June 28th, 1859. Per the Presbyterian Manta' and AdTOOllllO. Popular Sovereignty. MESSRS. Ertimus :—The cause of tem perance being again before the public, I ven ture to introduce myself to you by making a few suggestions on that subject. The-moral and political evils of intemper ance have been long since sufficiently cussed. The matter now in hand is.to de vise a remedy. I think it useless at the present time -to expect• any positive, legislation on the -sub ject. During the ascendency of the "Know Nothings" in the Legislature of 1854, a res trictive law was passed, upon which they were assailed with the utmost - bitterness du ring the next canvass, and defeated, and their temperance law repealed in 1855. They lost •thousands of votes .by (laser tion to the " Liquor League," without gain ing one, so far as my observation extended, from the friends of temperance in the oppo. site party. The " Know Nothings" have now gone to the shades, and are numbered among those things which have been. The party which has succeeded them, having 'been organized for a specific purpose, will not embarrass their action, and endanger their success, by any side issue, hoWever portant. These things being well known to all men conVereant with the politics of the day, it is useless to expect anything like an en dorsement of temperance an' a political mess ure from either. of the parties now in the Neither is there the remotest chance for - building up a new party on temperance principles until,there is a lull inahe present % storm, which may not occur for = several' years. There still remains some things which we. I can do, however, . and. one of them is a plan which may be denominated "Popular S 6 e ereignty applied-ta the-retailing -of—Ardent Bpsrits." It is contained in a resolution which I presented at a temperance meeting a short time ago, and which, after some dis cussion and explanation, met' with general approval. It reads as follows : liesolved, That we petition the mit legislature eo to amend the present license law, that the re tailers of ardent spirits, be henceforth Chosen by ballot by the citizens of each township, ward and • borough in the State, at their annnsDelection, March.

Ton ~, j~. IF', Mil =I ,sat,down, , wil4 _ ,now elose. ping y( millliver my, plan, ai f;averable,Rnnsiderstion, I remain yours, truly, J. M. OLIPHANT. It is better for you to pass an evening once or twice in a lady's drawing-room, even though the conversation is slow, and you know the girl's song by heart, than in a club,' tavern, or the pit of a theatre. All amusements of youth to which virtuous wo men are not admitted, rely -on it, are dele teriousin their nature. All men who avoid female society have dull perceptions and are stupid, or have gross tastes, and revolt against what is pure. Your club swaggerers, who are sucking the buts of billiard cues all night, call female society insipid. Poetry is insipid to a yokel; beauty has no,charms for a b'ipd man ; music does not please a poor beast who does not know one tune from another; and as a true epicure is hardly ever tired of water, roast, and brown bread and butter, I protest I can sit for a whole night talking to: well regulatedi kindly wor man, about her girl coming out, of her boy at Eton, and like the evening's entertain. ment. One of the great benefits a man may derive from women's society is, that he is bound to be respectful to them. The habit is of great good to your moral man, depend uponit. Our education makes of us the most , eminently selfish men in the world. We fight for ourselves, we push for our selves, we yawn for ourselves, we light our pipes and say we won't go out; we prefer ourselves, and our ease; and the greatest good that comes to a man from a woman's society is, that he has to think of somebody to whom he is bound to be constantly' atten tive and respectful.— Thackeray. Young,man one of the first things you have to consider is to build up a character. Allow Us to tell you one thing about;it, which we have learned from observation. It must. ,be- built , like . a pyramid, ',to be firm and lasting—broad at the hallo. Then the foundation must be good, or even a pyramid would crack and ,fall to pieces. Get' s' reptitation : from early boyhood, for truth, honesty and industry, obedience to parents and teachers, and above all, piety. By and by your character will be as firm as a pyramid; a host of calumniators' could not overthrow it. But if youth and early life is bad, to build a character on such a beginning, would be almost as difficult as to build and poise a pyramid on its apex. Once in a happy home, a sweet, bright baby _died. -- On - ,threvening of the-ilay; when the children gathered around their mother, all sittinelery sorrowful, Alice, the eldest, said— " Mother, yeti took:all the care of the by while she Aces .bere,-and you carried and held, her in your arms all the while she was ill ; now, mother, who took her on the other side!" " On the other side of what, Alice ?" " On the:other :side.of death; who took the baby on ~the other side, mother ? She was so little she could not go alone." " Jesus met: her, there," answered the mother. gg It• is he who took little children in his arms to bless them, and said, g Suffer, them to comennto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of- heaven! He took the baby On the other. side." ' Do everything in its proper time. Keep every thing in its place. Always Mend olothes,beforee-swashingrthem.

Some ladies having met at the house of a friend, the child of one of them was guilty of rude, noisy conduct, very improper all occasions, and particularly so at a friend's house. The mother kindly reproved her, "Sarah, you must not do so. The child soon forgot the reproof, and be came as noisy as ever. The mother said firmly, "Sarah, if you do so again, I will punish you." But not long after 'Sarah did so again. When the company were about to separate, the mother stepped into a neighbor's house, intending to return for the child. During her, absence, the'thought of going.horne re called to the mind of Sarah the punishment which her mother told her she might expect. The recollection turned her rudeness and thoughtlessness into sorrow. A young lady present observing it, and learning the cause, said, "Never mind, I will ask your mother not to punish you." " Oh," said Sarah, " - that will do no good. My mother never tells falsehoods !" - Agricultural, The Toad at his Repast. *Few of our readers, most probably- have ever observed the' toad at' his repast. It is performed with electric rapidity, and with more than telegrammic precision. The tongue is doubled back upon itself and is tipped with a glutinous secretion. The 0:10• ment the beetle comes within range the tongue is shot forth with an unerring aim, and quick as lightning the captive is with drawn. They are invaluable in a garden. M. Jeshe, in his gleanings, complains of gardeners destroying them, of savagely cut ting them, in two with their spades. We hope net.. Horticulturists of such "gross' ignorance" ought themselves to be extirpa ted. The beauty and vigor of our flower border we have long ascribed, in a measure, to a select family of toads, which we tender ly protect, and some 'of which have now reached a patriarchal age. M. Jesse, men .l tons that Mr. Knight, the eminent nursery man, keeps a great number of toads in his stoves, for the purpose of destroying the wood lice that infect his plants,, and that they do not seem at all affected by the heat, even when it reaches 130 degrees. We are surprised at this latter statement, which does not agree with our observation. We have observed that the toad in veryy, hot weather seeks shelter under foliage or buries himself amongst the soft mould. In the evening he emerges from his concealment f and no doubt then employs his protusile tongue. Mr. Buckland mentions a curious use of toads. They are employed as insecetraps. - A brigade of marauding toads are °endue. ted into the garden.in the. evening. They make a famous supper, but in the morning their entomological, employer, by a gentle squeeze, compels them' to disgorge their ev ening meal, "and in this way many curious and rare specimens of rare and minute noc turnal insects have been. obtained:" "There is just now," says Dr. Buckland, " a plague of ants in many of the London houses, which defy extermination. I strongly re commend those who are troubled with those plagues to try whether a toad or two won't help them." Most certainly. They clean melon frames of these inseots,and' why should they not perform the Same friendly office in the drawing-rooms of London citizens ? No thing but prejudice can prevent the'adoptiou of the excellent suggestion. And yet the prejudice exists, 'and they are• a loathea species. Toads from time immemorial, have been persecuted by school boys, and yon cannot wander through a village on a Sum mer day without seeing defunct and flatten ed specimens of these unoffending creatures. Innocent of literature it would be tracing the cruelty of the urchins to too high a source to ascribe it to the "ugly,and veno' mous" toad of Shakspeare, or yet the more odious imagery of Milton. And yet from the ,erroneous--natural history of .the two. great national poets the idea may have origi nated, and:thus been handed-down from one race of school boys to another.—Blackwood.

Important to Every. One Exercise for the body, •occupation for the mind—these are the grand constituents of health and happiness, the cardinal points upon which every thing turns. Motion seems to be a great preserving principle of nature, to which, even inanimate things are subject; foram winds, waves, the earth itself, are restless, and the waving of trees, shrubs, and flowers is known to be an essential part of their economy. A fixed rule of 'taking several hours' exercise every day, if possible in the open air, if not, under cover, will be almost-certain to secure an exemption •from disease, as well as from the attacks of low spirits, or ennui, that monster who is ever waylaying the,rich and indolent. New Nind of Varnish. A new varnish has been invented lately ; by an enterprising citizen, intended to pro tent wood and iron from the effects "of water and the atmosphere. It is made from can nel= coal. We have a specimen of the article on a safe in oar counting room. It would no doubt be an excellent varnish. to preserve the timber and iron work of railroad and other bridges. It can be applied to rough timber as effectively as to smooth, and snb serve all the purposes of paint, at less than half the cost. It will doubtless ,soon be, brought into extensive use for purposes such as indiCated'above.—Excliange. There was published in the Dispatch of Me` 6th, an article on "The Growth of the Baptiatu in America:" In this article, the numVer of thumain anduine minor seats is estimated ' ' .at' a million and, a half. It ,is frirthersai*of the Baptists, that "No• fiodia Chiiitians in this country hardone p -or b `doing snore to Ostendvital Lei Aso 3 , % Glorying. evangelical piety at home or abroad. None is more free, yet united ; none more conser vative, yet progressive; none, though sub scribing a common creed, more unanimous in faith and practice, or more closely knit together in love. Those who imagine the contrary do not know them." The Christian Advocate of the 12th, in noticing the article, speaks of the Metho dist Church as exceeding the. Baptiste in numbers by " hundredrof thoUsands," and in wealth 41 by millions." And it is farther said, that "No Church, since the days of the Apostles, has ever exercised more charity toward other Christian-communities than the Methodist Church does toward those 'who differ from her in opinion and Church gov ernment. No Church has been more inde pendent of aid from other Churches in its labors and success. No Church has been gathered so entirely from the world without robbing other Churches. No Church has contributed more to the prosperity of other Churches. No Church since Apostolic times has flourished so rapidly, and done so much good in so short a time, as the Meth dist Church has done."- Central Presby terian. [lt may )3e Well for people, occasionally, to remind each other.of the proverb, "Let another , praise thee, and not thine own mouth."—Ens.] Home : it is a little world; it has its own interests, its own laws, its own difficulties and sorrows, its own blessings and joys. It is the sanctuary of the heart, where the affec tions are cherished in the tenderest relations, where heart is joined to heart, and love tri umphs over all selfish calculations. It is the training.school cf the tender plants, which in after years are to yieldflowers and fruits to parental care. It is the fountain whence come the streams which beautify and enliven social life. If any man should have a home, it is tbe man of business. He is the true working- Mart of the community. The mechanic has his fixed hours, and when: these have run their course, he may, ere the day, closes, dis miss all anxiety as his labor ends, and seek the .home circle. Comparatively little has been •the= tax on his mind, and not .much more on his physical system, as he learns to take all easy. 'But the man of business is under a constant prestiure. His is not a ten hour system, with an interval of rest; but he is driven onward and onward early and late, without the calculation of hours. He must be employed. In the earnestness of competition—in the comPlexity of modern modes of business—in the fluctuations which frequently occur—in the solicitous depend ence on the fidelity and integrity of others =he has no leisure moments during the day., With a naiad incessantly under exciting en gagements, and a body without its appropri ate nutriment, he' may well pant for home, and hail the moment when he may escape from his toils to seek its quiet, and its affee. tion and confidence. —lsaac Ferris, D.D.

SYRUP OF THE HYPOPHOSPHITES, Composed of :the Hypophosphites of Lime, Soda, Potassa, and Iron. These remedies were brought to notice by Dr. John Francis Churchill, an eminent physician of Dublin, and have attracted much attention from he medical profession. To give a general idea of their action, we make the follow ing extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer " On the Proximate Cause and Specific Remedy of Tuberculosis," read before the Academy of Medicine, Paris, July, 1857. Says Dr. C.:— " The total number of cases of Phthisis treated by tne amounts to thirty-five. All were either in the second or third stages of the complaint; that is, they had either softened tubercles or cavities in the lunge: of toes% nine recovered completely, the physical signs of the disease die. appearing altogether in eight out of that number; eleven improved considerably, and fourteen died. The results will be found to justify the following conclusions: "The proximate came, or at all events an essential con dition of the tubercular diathesis. is the decrees, in the 'system of the phosphorus which it contains in an oxygeni. sable state. "The specific remedy of the disease consists in the need a preparation of phosphorus, uniting the two conditions being in such a state that it may be directly assimilated and at the same time at the lowest possible degree of oxy dation: "The effects of these Salts upon the tubercular diathesis le immediate ; all the general symptoms of the disease dis appearing with a rapidity which is really marvelous. If the.pathelogical deposit produced by the dyscracy is of re cent formation, if softening has only just set in, and does not proceed too rapidly, the tubercles are re-absorbed and disappear. When the softening has attained a certain de gree, it sometimes continues in spite of the treatment; and the issue of the disease then depends upon au anatomical condition of the local legion, on its extent, and upon the existence or non-existence of complications. I have made numerous attempts to modify the local condition of the lungs by the Inhalation of different substances, but have never obtained any satisfactory result independent of what was to be attributed to the specific treatment. The Hypo. phoephites are certain prophylactics against tubercular disease. "The physiological effects show these preparations to have a two-fold action ; on the one hand they immerse the principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes nes. vons forte, and on the other, they elevate the tone of the several functions concerned in alimentation and nutrition. They seem to possess, in the highest degree, all the thera peutical properties formerly attributed by different ob servers to phosphorus itself, without any of the danger which attends the use of that substance. The different preparations of Hypophospnorus Acid will undoubtedly occupy one of the meet important places in the Materia Medias." The success of this treatment being so much in advance of anything before attained in the management of this heretofore almost incurable disease ' calls for a -thorough testingtesog of these remedies. With thisaiew, ihe combination here offered in the form of Syrup basileen made. The beneficial effects of these Salta ere not limited to Consumption alone; they are appropriate remedies in a large class of affections result-in , from hos of nervous force, Dyspepsia, Scrofula, deb ed conditions of Females, lack of vital action in yen, and where the osseous system is defective. nderetanding the chemical nature of these Salts, physicians will be enabled to nee them in a large class of diseases where they seem to be indicated. We have every advantage in mannfacturieg these arti cles. The Dry Salts we have been engaged in manufae. truing largely since they were first brought to notice, and we know them to be strictly reliable. The Syrup is a com bination of the Salts, containing a little over five grains to the teaspoonful, and is the most pleasant form for taking them. The large demand tor this article has induced us to fix it as low as a reasonable profit will permit. We pack it with care, so that it will go safely and all orders will receive prompt attention.
