REIVMMIPOPIELL, OP 11fOlikili, ON THE
;AFFAIR OF 111E4ItENT.
Wef , last week, gave our readers the sen
timents of Mr. SPURGEON, on the subject'
of a war between Great Britain and the
United States. We now present to them
some thoughts of Rev. NEWMAN HALL.
These Men 'are Samples, to a very large ex
,tent, of the intelligent Christian feeling of
England. It is true that Lord SHANTSBURY,
who is very prominent for his evangelism
and anti-slaveryism, refused to attend the
. Emptey .41all ! ,meeting on the subject of
peace,
` lest he should seem to censure the
Government, for its war measures, (he is
son-in-law to Lord PAIMERSTON,) still he
expressed a strong desire for peace. If
Christians on both sides, will strive for the
right, in a Christian„ spirit, there will be
no war between the United States and Eng
land.
At an assembly of nearly three thou
sand persons, chiefly working men, 'held on
Monday evening,An Surrey Chapel, the
Rev. Newman 11.01, in referring to the sub
ject of America, said: — " At the lecture
before the Young Men's Association, at
Exeter Hall, last Tuesday, I am informed
that Rule Britannia was performed on
the organ, and rapturously encored. (' So it
was.') If the audience simply meant to
express , feelinas of patriotism 1 4 should
heartily have concurred with them. No
doubt it was so. But some people seem to
imagine that Britannia has a right to rule
the waves—that the ocean is her freehold
—that she may do what she pleases there
—and that other nations must not be al
lowed to act in a manner which is quite
justifiable in ourselves. Need I say that
such a sentiment is most unjust and mon
strous ?—(Hea3.). :If 'this were carried out
fwe should Always be at war with every com
mercial nation of the world. No, there are
certain laws and customs to regulate affairs
on the sea. By these we must abide as
much as others; and therefore the first
thing to be done-is,to discover what is the
law—whether it has been broken—and
what , can be done to secure its observance
in future. Let us then regard this ques
tion as one needing calmness of judgment,
not violence and.passion. Let the case be
deliberately argued. If America meant
not . defiance; but law, let' us. first ascertain
what the law is—not demanding our inter
prekation as the true one, not admitting
theirs—but referring the dispute to an im
partial referee ( cheers, and a voice—
' That's good.') But it may be urged in
apology for violent measures--:' Must we
no at once vindicate the honor, ef our flag?
Whgt I is our flag of so redenT inVhhtion,
with so poor a history, enriched with so few
memories of glory, that it will be dishon
ored by a short and dignified delay? Dis
honored 'by not at once fluttering defiance
against the freemen of the North ? But
would it -ndtliguto're"- dishonored by float

traders—(repeated cheers)—slave-breeders,
slave-drivers? If there must be one or
other dishonor, oh, spare us this latter !

them,.all excited: endirritable chobseff to

in you .at once to fight him ? No !
Bravery would say, Wait a bit, rnS , fine

your challenge just now. Finish affairs
with your antagonist first--two at once

agree on this,question, must we then fight?

widely circulated, that we:must either have

alternative—forgiveness ? (hear, hear.)

pass over,. • tl e. affront to ourselves? Is
every disputebetween nations, if not amica

J. P. JOHNSTON
Mr. Sumner is known to be on the ex
treme of the anti-slavery question. He is
thought by some, so extreme and so violent
as to injure the carrying on of the war.
Multitudes who love the country, and would
preserve the Union, and maintain the Con
stitution inviolate, cannot endorse his
propositions. Being such, it was thought.
he would be violent on the sibject of the
surrender of Mason and Slidell. • .He how
ever, came out on the subject, conservative
and national.
We 'find in our exchanges the folloWing
report of his speech in. the Senate, Jan
nary 6th:
Mr. Sumner, of Mass., having the floor
on the Trent affair, made an, eloquent
speech. In alluding to the release of
Mason and. Slidell be said that this had
been done at the instance of the British
Government, courteously conveyed, and
founded on the assumption that the original
capture of these men was an act of vio
lence, which was an affront to the British
flag, or a violation of international law.
He stated that these men were citizens and
for many years Senators of the United
States. One was the author of the Fugitive
Slave Law, and the other the chief author
of the fillibustcring system, which has dis
oTaced our national name and disturbed our
national, peace. In the service of their
country, they conspired against it, and at
last, the secret traitors and conspirators be
came open rebels. While on their way to
England and France to play the part of
ambassadors, for the purpose of arraying
two great nations against the United States,
and enlist them openly in behalf of an ac
cursed slaveholding rebellion, they were ar
rested and removed from the English
steamer Trent, by Captain Wilkes of the
United States steamer San Jacinto. If he,
in this arrest, forget for a moment the fixed
policy of the. Republic ' and transcended
the law of nations as the United States have
always , construed it, his apology must be
found in the patriotic impulse by which be
was inspired, and the British examples
which he could not forget, and which ren
dered them liable to be stopped. British
precedents, the oft-repeated example of
British cruisers, upheld against the oft-re
peated protests of the United States, vin
dicate, the arrest. The ad only becomes
questionable when brought, to the touch
atone of those liberal principles which.the
American Government has always openly
avowed, and which other European Gov
ernments have, accepted with regard to
the sea. '
After further argument in this connex
ion, Mr. Sumner said : In exchange for
these prisoners Ave receive from Great Brit
ain a practical assent; too long deferred, to
a principle early propounded by our coun
try, and standing forth on every page of
our history. The same voice which asks
for their,liberation, renounces in the same
breadth an odious pretension, for whole
generations the scourge of peaceful com
merce. Great Britain, though practically
contributing to the establishment of free
dom beyond all other nations in her contri
butions to municipal law, has, in. maritime
questions arising under the law of nations,
imposed upon weaker nations her own
arbitrary will.
The boast of " Britania rules the Waves,"
was practically'adopted by British Courts
of Admiralty, and universal maritime rights
were subjected to the,special exigencies of
British, •interests. In the consciousness of
sr.rength, and With. a, navy : . that could not
he, opposed, she has put chains upon the
sea. The American commerce was cruelly
decimated by these. arbitrary. pretensions.
The belligerent, right, of search was em
plOyed, and the quarter dear. of every
British cruiser was made floating . judg
ment seat, and the' impresament of Ameri
caia ~ citizens'from the protectiOn of the
American' flag `.was committed by the
thousand; six thousand cases are recorded
in our Department of State, and Lord Cas
lerealt himself admitted- in the House of
Commons that three thousand five hundred
men in the British fleet claimed to be
American citizens. Protest, argument, ne
gotiation, correspondence and even war
itself were all in vain employed by the
United States to procure a renunciation.
Beginning in the last century, the corres
pa:deuce is at last closed bythe:recent re
ply of Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons. The
continued occasion of conflict is now hap
pily removed, and the pretension disap
pears forever, to take its place among the
curiosities of the past.
Mr. Simmer fOrtifies his pcisitions by nu
merous extracts from American state papers.
He then says : Such is an authentic his
tory of the British pretenaion and s the man
ner in which it was met by our Govern
ment; and now .the special argument „for
merly directed by us against this preten
sion -is 'directed by Great Britain against
the pretension of Capt. Wilkes to take two
rebel prisoners from a British packet ship.

that only soldiers or officers could be

VENNING.
Christianity in England.
It is riot known who was the missionary
that first brought the blessed Gospel of
Jesus. Christ to heathen Britain; but it had
been preached there before St. Paul was
dead. In those days nearly thirty thousand
Roman soldiers were always stationed in
England ; and there was a constant inter=
change of trade, letters and passengers be
tween England and Rome, and other lands.
British chieftains, whaled beenconquered
by the Romans, lived at Rome; British
nobles and their families visited the great
city, and came back;.and Romans inter
married with Britons, both in Britain and
at Rome. St. Paul intended to preach the
Gospel in Spain, (Rom xv : 28,) and
Clement, his fellow 7 laborer and friend,
(Phil. iv : 3,) sdys, .in his book, that St.
Paul preached in Britain. But of, this we
cannot now know the truth. When Panl.,
was a prisoner at Rome, shortly before his
death, he preached the Gosper even to the
household in.-the heathen. Bmperor's pal
ace; he haiil'aMOng his friends a 'nobleman
and his wife-I mned-Pradens and Claudia
=
C 2. Tim. iv : 21,) vibe were also friends of
Timothy. Cluidia,%rif not a native of
Britain, was the daughter of British pa
rents, and perhaps even of a British.prince.
We may be sure that she would long to
send the Gospel to her countrymen. Aulus
Plautius was the - - Roman Governor of
Britain for feur. ,yenrs, from A. D. 43 to
A. D. 47, whiel-was the time when St.
Paul and St:- B.:*nabas were at Antioch,
and on their great missionary journey
round the country of Asia (Acts xi: 25, to
xvi : 28.) His wife, Pomponia Grmcina,
seems to have been a Christian, and, on
her husband's return to Rome, was accused
of having forsaken the heathen gods. Her
husband, had poWer to save her, and she
lived quite differently from other heathen
ladies of Rome until after St. Paul's death.
The Gospel seems to have been preached
here and there in the Apostles' times .over
what is now called England, by various
missionaries,. chiefly' from France and from
the EaSt. About the year 164, long after
even St. John was dead, Lucius, a king,
apparently, of some small tribe ,in the
South of England, under the -Romans, sent
some British Christians to ,the Bishop of
Rome, to ask for a missionary; to" 'instruct
his people better: But in York, which
was then the chief city of England, and
was, not under. Lucius the Christians were
already numerous, and the Gospel had gone
long before this into corners of Britain
where the Romans had no power.
At this time, both the Romish Church
and the Church of France hid continued to
build their faith and practice on the Word
•bf God . ; 'therhatAiot yet departed from
the faith once deliv i eted to.the saints by the
Apostles.. The Church of .Britain did not
then use the ,prayers a.12(1 customs of the
Church ,of Rome, but those of the Church
of, France, which had been founded by
missionaries and bishops from. Smyrna, and
the other Churches in Asia where St.
John and St. Paid preached. The Churches
Of •Rome and of France then agreed in all
that was good,, sound, and necessary; but,
hi all such things as may be different in
different Churches, the Church of Britain
kept to the Church with which they were
most connected, that of France, and not
that of Rome and it' did so even when
the British Prince Lucius was sending
;to Rome ,for a.missionary for his own sub
ects.
Dandruff:in the Hair.
A correspondent asks by what means
this nuisance may, be prevented, and if it
has alreadya made its appearance, how it
may be removed ?
As Usual . , it is much easier to prevent
than cure it. The prevention consists in
the avoidance of sharp combs and brushes,
and, daily. bathing the head with cold water.
Numberless cases of drandruff have been
produced by scratching the head with sharp
combs and brushes. If any one doubts it,
let, him try the same practice upon theback
of his hand. He :will find in a few days;
bran-like scales, closely resembling dan
druff, thrown off in considerable quantity.
When the diffieUlty already exists in the
hair, it is tto be removed by the same sim
ple means which-willl prevent it. I do not
intend to deny that certain 'heads are dis
posed to this branny excretion, but these
cases constitute but a small- part of the
cases of dandruff which one sees.-Lewis's
New Gymnastics.
Nricultura
Diseases from Ammonia in Stables.
Nothing is more common than diseases
among cattle, especially horses, arising
from foul stables. Horses are more troubled
with it than cows, probably from the fact
that their dung is generally richer and un
dergoes a more rapid fermentation, throw
ing out ammonia in large quantities. In a
close stable the gas isso strong that the
eyes are painfully affected with it. This is
an alkali,and is classed among the most
powerful stimulants, the constant respira
tion of which, predisposes - to affections ,of
the lungs. • The strength of the gas rea,,y,
be judged from the odor that arises from a
common hartshorn smelling-bottle. Id
many stables no provision-whatever is made
to guard the animals against this subtle
poisen. The floor;is always saturated with
urine, and the pungent odor of this gas is
always present.
There are many cheap experiments with
in the reach of most farmers to prevent
this nuisance, and to save the ammonia for
the manure-heap. As-all the animals are
now coming.to the gables, particular atten
tion should, be paid to this item of economy.
Common ground piaster is a good absorbent,
and : a few quarts sprinkled daily in the ma
nure-gutters; will . keep them sweet and
clean. Sawdust from the shingle and saw
mill will make good bedding, and if re
newed often enough, will retain all the am
motile. In most mills in the country, this
article accumulates, and has to be thrown
'into the stream, to get rid of it. It may
be turned to profitable account for, bed
ding. /
Some farmers living near tan-works, use
the <spent tan-bark fer :this purpoie.
kept under cover and used in the dry state,
it makes a very valuable manure. Shore
farmers have, an unfailing resource in sea
weed, particularlyrthe eel-grass. If this is
spread, and dried.Wpon the shore it makes a
good bed, and had:great power of absorbing
gas. Better still is dry muck and" peat
kept housed for the , purpose. A half-cord
of this under a horf3e with a little changing
-where the water,. falls ' will keep a stable
sweet for two weeks., This is within reach
-of most farmers, and is, perhaps, the cheap
est and beet Method of enlarging the com
post-heap. Leaves gathered from the for
est, or straw; inajte a suitable covering for
the muck at night, and keep the animals
clean. As, ammonia is the most valuable
constituent of the manure-heap, it ought to
be a point of honor' with every cultivator
not to luive ar7,sitinee Wasted. It is the
very life of his husiness—good 'for the'
eyes of 'potatoes, beans and other plants,
but very bad for the oyes of horses .and

cattle.
Breaking Heifers for Milking.
-, This is`often made quite a serious, affair,
in which kicks and bruises are freely inter
changed between the frightened brute , and
the irritated master. Many an otherwise
excellent milker is spoiled for life, by harsh
treatment. A fieifer, if well broken to the'
milk-pail, is thereby made worth at least
twenty per_cent. more—an increase which
will pay for nirieh pains-taking. 'llarey's
reasoning respecting horses, applies'equally
to other animals.. -They, only resist when
injury is apprehended, and their natural
instinct suggests danger whenever any un
usual treatment'. occurs. Every one has no
tieed how shy a creature is in entering I
strange enclosures, or at sight, of new ob
jects. The handling,of a heifer's bag islo
her a very unusual proceeding, and, in ad
dition,-the "teats are often tender ' and = the
bag caked and Ofhtmed so Ili to be Painful
under even a gentle touch. Training for,
milking should;commence long before calv

MECHANICS, FARMERS & WORKING NEN.
TEUE attention of the enterprising and industrious por
-tion of the community is directed to the following
statements and liberal inducements offered them by the
ILLINOIS mnrrnel, RAILROAD COMPANY, '
which, as they will perceive, will enable them, by pro
per energy, perseverence and Industry, to provide com
fortable homes for themselves and families, with, com
paratively speaking, very little capital.
LANDS OF 'ILLINOIS
No State, in till o "Valloy of the Mississippi offers so great
an inducement to the settler as the Rata of Rllnols.
There lane portion of the world where all of the condi
tions of climate and soil so admirably combine to pro-
duce those two great staples, Coss and Wrotax, as the
Prairies of Illinois.
DIE SOUTHERN PART
Of the State Iles within the zone of the cotton regions,
wn le the soil is admirably adapted to the growth of
tobacco and hemp; and tho wheat is worth from fifteen
to twenty cents more per bushel than that raised
further north.
BIONSOLITtIa PRAISIE LANDS.
The deep rich loam of the prairies is cultivated with
such wonderful facility that the farmers of the Eastern
and Middle States aro moving to Illinois in great num- I
hers. The area. of Dlinols is about equal to that of
England, end the soil is so rich that it will support
twenty millions of people.
v•ARTERN AND SOITTHEENIMKETB
These lan s are contiguous to a railroad: 700 miles in
length , which:connects with other roads, and naviga
ble lakes and rivers, thus affording en unbroken eom
mur&ation with the Eastern and Southern markets•
ATPLIGATION.OF CAPITAL.
Thus far, capital and, labor have been applied to de
veloping the soil; the great resources of the State in
coal and iron are alraostuntouehed. The invariable rule
WA' the Meehanlpl arts flourish best where food. and
'fuel are eiteapest,will follow at an early day
.and .the Course of the , next ten years the natural
laws and necessities of the case warrant , the belief that
at 1 ^est ftve.hundred thousand people will be engaged
in the State of Illinois in various manufacturing em
ployments-
RAILROAD SIM= Or
Over $100,000,000 of private capital have been ex
pended on the railioad system of Illinois. Inasmuch as
part of the income from several of these works, with
a valuable public fund in lands, go to dirninigh-the
State Ezper.ses, the tern SPX lIGIrr 2 and must, conse
quently every day decrease.

The New-York Times says of It: "The thorough• intel

book, the moral warmth which runs latentthrough it (break
ing at Mies into ail' eloquence which falrly burns).—takes
its power from the . weight of his- facts - and the force of his
logic. - There is in his treatment of the, qiie,Wrion, a 71913 mod
eration that carries With . it convincing force."
The New-York Evening Post says "It is the wisest book
which has been written upon America since. De Tocqueville.
* Rstearkable for its intelligeime, its insight, its
logic, and its nobleness of purpose?'
From the New-York Tribune: " The author thinks that
we are rising, awakening, coming to ourselves, asserting our
