DEATH OF NEANDER.
Neand. is dead ! On Monday, the Bth, he
lectured as usual; on Monday, the 15th, very
early (2 o’clock,) in the morning his spirit de
parted. He was somewhat unwell on the B>h,
but not so as to interfere with his duties at the
University ; in the evening, however, he became
very ill. The disease was one of the bowels,
and seemed to give way somewhat in the middle
of the week, but later it was seen that no chance
remained for recovery, llis sufferings, particu
larly on Saturday, were excruciating, and on
Sunday morning, though a strongly medicated
bath relieved him somewhat, his reason sunk un
der them. No sooner had ho lost the command
of his mind, than lie began to fancy that his du
ties called him to his lecture room, and besought
his physician for permission logo. Afterwards
he called for the young man, whom lie has em
ployed to read to him since the partial failure of
his sight, and requested him to go on with the
Vork lie was_reading, the day before Ins sickness
began. Then he appeared to think himself in
his lecture.room, and that lie had delivered his
usual lecture, and said, ‘‘l am weary, let us go
home.” After this his feeble eye caught sight
of the books ranged round his room, und they
brought to mind the meetings for the study of the
New Testament anJ the Fathers of tho church,
which he held wi;h the students, twice a week,
in his own house. Imagining his class t,y |><>
present, he spoke some time upon certain pas.
sages in the NAw . Testament, and afterward
wandering into uT early history of the church,
lie dictated a page or two for the continuation of
his Church History. After finishing this—it
was toward the close of day—he said gently, “I
am wearyj must sleep. Good night.” Being
now easy—that fatal symptom —ho fell asleep,
and breathed until about two o’clock on Monday
morning, when in that other and more solemn
sense, he again fell asleep.
On the 17th of July, I attended the funeral
services. The procession rt students was form,
ed at the University, and marched to his dwell
ing. In the meantime, in the house, the theologi
cal students, the professors from Berlin and from
the University at Halle, the clergy, relatives,
high officers of government, &c.. were assem
bled to hear the funeral discourse. Professor
Strauss, for forty.five years an intimate friend
ofNeander, delivered the sermon. During tho
exercises, the body, not yet placed in the coffin,
was covered with wreaths and flowers, and sur
rounded with burning candles.
The procession, which was of great length,
was formed at ten o’clock. A. M. and through
Unterden Linden as far ns Frederick street and
then the whole length of Frederick street as far
ns the Elizabeth Street Cemetery. The whole
distance, nearly two miles, the sides of the streets,
■doors, and windows of the houses were filled
with an immense concourse of people, who had
come to look up:n the solemn scene. The
hearse was surrounded by students, some of them
from Halle, carrying lighted candles, and in ad
vance was borne the Bible and Greek Testa
ment which had ever been used by the deceased.
At the grave, a choir, of young men sang ap
propriate music, and a student from Halle made
an affecting addres. It was a solemn sight to
see the tears gushing from the eyes of those who
had been the pupils and friends of Neander.—
Many were deeply moved, and well might they
join with the world in mourning for one who had
done more than any one to keep pure the religion
of Christ here in Germany.
After the benediction was pronounced, every
one present, according to the beautiful custom
here, went to the grave and threw into it a band
fulofdirt, thus assisting at the burial. Slowly,
and in scattered groups, the crowd dispersed to
their various homes.
How insignificant all the metaphysical con
troversies of the age, the vain teachings of man,
appeared to us as we stood at the grave-side of
Neander! His was a far higher and holier faith,
from which, like the evangelist, he never wa
vered. In his life, in his death, the belief to
which he had been converted, his watchword re
mained unchanged: “it is the Lord!” His body
lias been consigned to grave, but the sunset
glory of his example still illumines our sky, and
will forever light us onward to the path he trod.
Panama. —At Panama there are 11 old dilapi
dated Romish Churches. One is a Cathedral
240 feet by 130, built of stone, and of imposing
architecture. Yet the people are in the grossest
spiritual ignorance and degradation. Protestant
worship has been established there by Presby

States.
Why I Contribute to Missions. —Jesus Christ
has commanded his ministers to go and preach
the gospel to every creature. They cannot go
unless they be. sent. They cannot be sent with
out money. This is my reason for contributing
to the treasury of the Hoard. Can any one give
as good a reason for ot contributing.—Commis

THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Fillmore, by the advice of his phy
sician, has taken apartments for the night in
Georgetown, in consequence of the unhealthy
condition of the White House. Ol its unhealthi
ness there can be no question.
It is believed that almost every inmate of
President Tyler and President Polk’s families,
white and black, were siekrilfcre: and there died
General Uarrison and Gentyal Tuylor, w ho en
tered its walls well, while from there, with the
seed of disease lurking ip’ his frame, went Presi
dent Polk, to die a short timo afterwards. And
there 100 died the first Mrs. Tyler.
The cellars of the White House are exceed
ingly damp at all times, and from the basement
story a chilling atmosphere strikes one, whenever
the basement doors are ‘opened. One feels at
once that such uir\is unwholesome. Added tc*
this, the malaria friun the Potomac, without an
intervening object to break its effect, comes up
full upon tile south sidem!” the White House, in
all its unhated unbroke^^ower.
The long Bridge over the Poto
mac, actually dikes upra> water and makes the
river look like a huge, mill dam, whilo the green---
ncssof the sluggish waters on its borders de
monsirates to every one what must bo the con
dition of its atmosphere J
There should be a light bridge across tho Po
tomac, —a high archoound capacious bridge—
so as to let the waters take their natural course,
unimpeded, and the cellars and the basement of
the White House should bo drained, ventilated
and mudo thoroughly dry.— Baltimore Ameri

CAUSE OF THE DANISH WAR.
Some account of the origin of the Danish war
may ho desirable at this time, to those who do
not keep themselves sufficiently “well posted”
ott foreign affairs to preserve a recollection of oc
currences twelve months since in Europe, and
observe their connection with the present. The
Philadelphia Bulletin supplies the desideratum
as follows:
The two Southern provinces of Denmark,
Schleswig and Holstein, are chiefly populated by
the German, instead of the Scandinavian race,
and in this respect differ from the remainder of
Denmark. Holstein, is almost entirely inhabited
by Germans, and has been annexed to denmark
at a comparatively lute period of history. Schles
wig has a large number of Danes in it, but is
still German in its character, sympathy and
population. When the revolution oflß-18 broke
out, and was followed by the general enthusiasm
throughout Germany, in favor of a great Ger
man nation, the people ol Schleswig and Holstein,
with others descended from the Teutonic slock,
desired to secede Irom Denmark, and join the
new confederation. In this wish they were se
cretly upheld by Prussia, a power ever ready to
aggrandize itself, or weaken a neighbor. Den
mark, however protested against parting with
provinces which had been ceded to her oil the
faith of treaties, and prepared for war. Iloslili.
lies have continued since, with varied fortune,
and in spite of numerous efforts on the part of
neighboring powers to make peace. Meantime,
both races have become nuitnallv exasperated
against each other rendering their living together
under one gov,-mm.- nt more difficult than ever.
I ote.-s i fjo Panes, however, are checked by
Prussia, tho revolted provinces will have to give
.IT? and if Prussia seriously interferes, Russia
will probably assist Denmark.
LATER FROM CIIAGRES.
The schooner Sharron, (.'apt. Ducev, from
Chagreson the .‘fist ult., arrived at this port ves
terday. Capt. Ducey informs us that Acker
man Ac.’s tram, from Panama, for Chagres, was
attacked ten miles out from Panama, on the 25th
July, and robbed of $32,000 in gold dust. The
authorities at Panama dispatched twenty.two sol
diers immediately in pursuit ol tho robbers;
they came up with them a few miles from tho ci
ty, when a fight took place, in which sixteen of
the soldiers and six oftlie robbers were killed.—
’l’he government troops did not succeed in re
taking tho lost plunder. The government au
thorities were about sending out a much stron
ger force on the 30|h, with a determination to
clear the Isthmus of the robbers.— .X. O. Della

Avgust 20.—An effort wus made withont sue- ;
cess, yesterday, to get up the Senate bills, to I
wit: the California, Texas, New Mexico and
Utah bills. The purpose was to make thorn the
order of the day tor this, and every other day till
they are disposed of. It was also intended to
keep the Texan boundary bill under the control
of the House, though the rules require that every
bill imposing a charge on the Treasury, shall be
first discuSsed in Committee of the whole House;
and to add the New Mexican bill to it as an
amendment. It is probable that an omnibus, on
a small scale, with only two or three passengers,
will yet be tried. It appears to mo from what
I have noticed lately that the ten millions will
not go until after the fall elections. But the
subject must come up next week, and we shall
soon be able to judge of the disposition of the
House. The general opinion now is that none
of the bills in question except the Ca
lifornia and Utah bills, nor will these pass if there
should be a resolute, persevering, and obstinate
resistance bv the minority.
Mr. Bailey signified his willingness to drop
the civil and diplomatic bill and take up the
territorial bills, and the friends of the adminis
tration moved in tho same direction, but they
could not get votes enough.
Mr. Bailey will report a resolution from bis
Committee, for their discharge from the consid
eration of the subject of a modification of the
Tariff. There is nothing more certain in politics
than that the protective system is dead—none so
poor ns to do it reverence.
August 21. —The weather here is autumnal,
cool, and very rainy. The city remains as
healthy as usual. There have been no indica
cations of cholera, though it prevails at Harper’s
Ferry, and in that vicinity. It must be rather
cold at the watering places, but still a great
number of Southern people are moving to the
Virginia Springs, or from them to the Saratoga

the present sessions, that a IrtfgtfajUm would be
appropriated to the purpose of improving rivers
and harbors, but nothing is likely to be done in
that direction. The yeas and nays taken on
Monday on motions respecting tho Territorial
and California bills, indicate a strong combination
of Northern and Southern men against the Texan
boundary bill. Their motives for opposition to
it are very different. The Northern men say
that it converts free soil into slaveholding territo
ry. The Southern hold the reverse to be the
fact. Both are opposed to the boundary proposed
in Mr. Peurco’s bill, and both totljc ten millions.
The Senate,with general assent, have adopted
Mr. Mason’s substitute/for tho Fugitive Slave
bill; no jury trial is provided tor in the substi
tute. It provides that the Judges of the U. S.
Courts shall appoint Commissioners in each
district, to arrest and deliver fugitive slaves.
Mr. Pratt, of Md., [.asoffered amendments that
are still under consideration, providing that, in
case a fugitive slave escape and cannot be recov
ered, the owner may sue the United States Dis

of judgment in his favor shall entitle him to re

D ‘parted this life, on Monday evening, 29th ot July, 31 re.
CixTiiA tius an 31 ax a ei. i.. consort of Allen T. Jlaxwell, of
Tallapoosa county. Ain. The deceased was 23 years, 7
mouths and ( days old. She was the youngest daughter of
! Jacob and .Nancy ('. Carraker olTalbtr’ county. Ga. Mrs.
: Maxwell h:: I bon an xemplary member of the Bap
j list C huroh. lur 10 years. She wusa woman in feeble health
| lor the last t*> years. Her obituary notice will claim some
s |’ ! •: •%-* hnl an imperfect skeicli of the power and love
‘><• >!. sli • m i::it-* tt 1 firs v.*ral days before her death. It
seemed thii it h.ni plo •* .J Go.l to separate her mind entirely
from the to ling thin of this world, and give hor a foretaste
! of the Heavenly m don wherein her sen! seemed to dwell
wuh the utmost delight, mid repose. The theme of religion
was her sole cwiiv-T itii.n. \\ In:; i..*r !i ’irate system was
so very weak and i'vbV iliat on** might : uppi.se that, a voice
above the brent li would he :innoyiu-j i ■ her. she would call
, her l'ri mis around t *join in the fi li:;!uful praises to her God,
1 and open would rai.-e her voice in prahe and adoration to God
’ for his great goodness ,ind lovine: kindness. for the strong evi
j dtMice and brightest urosp ru of living wish her blessed Jesus,
: and her mother and little daughter, that, are gone before.
It was the pleasure of the writer oft his notice to ho present
! when God dispatched the messenger, death, to take her happy
I spirit to its long sought rest. The scene is one that will not
he forgotten by those present. Her Physician was present,
and she called to him to remove those burning plasters he had
ju-t applied to her wri- t and ancles. Oh, just let me depart
without pain, with a compos* <1 mind and'dear head. She
then called her relatives and lViends around her bed-side,
some being nearer her than her soiling husband. She calm
ly took them hythe hands and calling them by their different
i names, said, “do you know that 1 am dying? I now warn
1 you as from eternity, to prepare for this solemn moment’'—
i Appealing to their conscience. “Wlm would Ido bad Ino
j J> us to walk with me through the dark valley and shadow of
death? ah,she exclaimed with a heart rejoicing, all in well
j with mi*. Site then turned to her luishand laying her cool
clammy arm--around his n ■< k. exclaiming. Dear otnpanion,
1 hid yon a Ili ■ lir v. ll—do not weep for me. Jesus has
been with me through :ix trouble*, and bless bis name,
he will not |’ r>;ih • me in t!. • seventh. No just let the
wdl “I tb * Lord l> • dme, and not y ‘ur : demanding from
him a promise, that he would live o as to meet her in
glory. She then asked, for her too little surviving sons,
the eldest not l ! r e years old, tin* young'*! lar.an iid.nil
M*vcn weeks oil; they were brought to licr. Nlr: t- k
r ttrenr in her f elde arm; and p;v. sed tb.em to a fond
mnthcrVbreast. Mv lit.lc orp\ tn \ \<* ivu y**\ m t\*
Ive and care of God. Her soul ili*m, in i-a-:.;:'.o;i i.f j as,
seem Ito enlarg *. inihuned with the love oft'-,.!. Nht> re
<pie>ted tliat hersurvivirig father, brothers and sis'.cr, tliat
liw in (.■corgia,should ha solicited. o;i her pari, to meet her
in glory. Niieth -n folded her arms a< ross her breast and dis-
I tincily to all present in ti; i • i:i. rang sum. verses of the
j son * “on Jor lun’s stormy hanks 1 . land,” with the chorus.—
: ‘1 am crossing over Ilalkdiijah, ilidlciujali.” Nhesoou then

j Asa h *d-sid • witness. Ift* •• I il.at iam called upon to say’ to

! we com.- to die instead of having a ciia:ul.*r of mounting it.
sda!J he a palace of rejoicing. For Mich were the manifesta
tions of this lovely child of God.
The deceased has left a b -reav* and li:i‘*h ind with two little
f oris and a large eiivle of rdati v an! friends both in A1 * -
; harna and Georgia, to mourn th -ir irrcparrablo loss. For all
w!io knew her loved her- As • wife, mother or friend, the
law of kindness was upon her !i ( , and the spirit of love and
meekness tempered with her every action. Asa Christian
her death bespeaks all, that ran he told. Old that woalimay
live the life our beloved sister did. That when wo come
to die, our departure may be ushers. Peace on earth and
good will to all men. A CLOSE FRIEND.
