ry, tbyv come to the conclusion that the work was
not and consequently determine to do uo
more. Why should they continue to give for the
vufehftae-cfcßibles when the Bibles are moulder
ing ou their shelves ? The fight of those few dus
ty ami illy-selected volumes blinds their eves so
t hat they cannot see th< destitution of the wot Id,
and closes their ears so that they cannot hear the
wails of the six hundred millions of perishing sou is
that am crying to them for the bread of life. But
•now if they had from the first looked upoiLtheir
local and limited effort as only auxilliarv to the
great world-wide work in which’ we are engaged
they would neither have ceased when it was done
nor have been disheartened when it failed. If
their books were not ueeded there, they would
h ;ve returned them to the Board to he employed
v whiro they might be iij<_ demand; and when their
own focal dPsliiulion had been supplied, (hey

scheme of supplying ail the vast destitution which
was ftil! awaiting their bounty; and they would j

4th. Another and very important reason why
our brethren in the South should regard all their
local operations and all their limited Bible organ
izations as auxiliary to the Bible Board at Nash
ville, is that the denomination and the world may
know what Southern Baptists are really doing for
the Bible cause. *—
When a brother or a s'ranger desires to. know
what Southern Baptists are doing for the Bible,
he w ill, as a matter of course, go to the reports of
this Bible Board for the information. This is re
garded at home an ! abroad the recognized and
official organ of Southern Baptists for the Bible
work, os much as the Richmond Board for the
Foreign Mission work. lie will look at their re’
port to learn what we do in that cause, and to
ours to learn what we do for the Bible. It is very
important, therefore, that u • report shall show
*!! that has actually he - : done, an i not merely
the little pittance which a few State or association
ni societies feed that they can spare from their own
.work at home to help us in the foreign field. The
home work is as truly our work as the foreign; we
are equally ready to aid ii carrying it on, and wo
desire to perform it, as far as practicable, through
our auxiliaries.
Wherever, therefore, liieie is a State Baptist Bi
ble Society, or a State Bible Board of a General
Association or Convention, let it collect funds by
its own agencies; (and we will do all we can to
lender those agencies more efficient;) let it invest
those funds at its own discretion; employ colpor
teurs according to the suggestions of its own wis
dom; but let it do this work as the auxiliary, and
not ns the rival of the Bible Board of the Conven
tion. And let them report to us every year what
tliev have done, and thus through us to the de
nomination and the world. We will thus become
helpers to one another, and no longer rival claim
ants for the same funds. No i<el, or association
af, or State organization could he less efficient for
doing this; and it is easy to see bow, by the influ
ence of our publications, and the occasional visits
of our agents or secretary, not to bring away their
funds, but to plead with the churches to increase
their amount, each one of them may be made vast
ly more capable of doing what it proposes to ac
complish. A. C. DAI TON,

New Chapel for Rev. C H, Spurgeon-
A correspondent of the NewTovk Observer has
the following:
On Monday night a very crowded meeting of
die friends of the Rev*. C. H. Spurgeon was held ‘
in New Park Street Chapel, to consult as to the
of erecting in some suitable locality nn
edifice adequate so the accommodation of the
thousands who now attend the ministrations of
that extraorditary young pulpit orator. New
Park Street Chapel, of which Mr. Spurgeon is’
pastor, was filled to excess. The Rev. J. Whitt
more opened with prayer. From Mr. Spurgeon’s
st dement it appeared that he eoirtmenced preach
iug when lie was about sixteen years of age. It
was determined to build a largo new Church
without delay.

Highly Interesting from Japan-
Liberal Designs of the Goeernmeid—Tices Porta
open to the Trade- of the World.
Our last accounts from the China Seas mention
a highly interesting fact. The Emperor of Japan
lifting anxious to adjust various questions connec
ted with the recent trestles he has concluded with
the several governments of Europe and America,
held o*i the 221 of June, at Jedtlo. the capital of
his empire a solemn assemblage of the principal
lords and most influential personages of his Court.
It was decided ai. tlm meeting that two ports of
the empire, those of Nangusaki and ffakodadi,
should be open to the vessels of ail nations. There
they might repair, take in provisions, establish de
pots of coal, <fcc. ‘Hie other ports of the empire,
moreover, are to be accessible to vessels in distress
which in::v take rebuke, in thorn, but which will
have to put to sea the moment toe danger is over.
No foreigner is to be allowed to penetrate into the
interior of the country without a special permis
sion from the Chief of the State. No decision had
vet been come to with regard to the commercial
questiou. The right to trade with Japan is still
exclusively maiutained in favor of the Dutch and
Chinese, who have iong possessed it on very en
orous terms, haring but one market open to them,
j that of Nagausaki. The new policy adopted by
the government of Japan will be productive of in
calculable results. Hitherto no foreign vessel
could enter the ports of the country to refit or
take in provisions. The last decision of Jeddo ac
| cordingly constitutes a great progress. Should
i China, Coshin China, the Empire, of Siam, and
r!l the other neighboring States follow the exam
pie of Japan, the Intercourse between the extreme
East and the rest of the world would be cpmplete-
Sly changed.

Safer than Chloroform. —French surgeons have
discovered that an application of pounded ice and
common salt to diseased limbs causes numbness
and insensibility, s:> that surgical operations can be
performed without pain to the patient, and with
out the,risk involved in the use of chloroform.
Total Accident. —The body of an unknown man
w;i3 found lying on the track ot the Georgia Rail
Road, near tho ve mile station* on Thursday
morning. He was a passenger on the down train
of Wednesday evening, and is supposed to have
fallen off, being intoxicated. As the tickets bad
been collected, be was not missed. We learn
there was h considerable amount of money found
on bis body, but no clue to his name, or residence.
He is supposed to be a Tennesseean.
The Curculio Smoked out ot Last. —Some
time since, we announced that the Kentucky Hor
ticultural Society had offered a premium of -five
hundred dollars for a cheap and ehectual remedy
against the curculio. Several have already been
proposed, of which the following, published in tho
Louisville Journal, has the merits of cheapness and
simplicity at least, aud is said to bo effectual. —
Here it is, with the proposer’s specification :
I take an old tin pan that is worn out or unfit
lor other use, put some coals from the fire into it,
and lay on strong tobacco and smoke the tree and
young plums well. One nail through the bottom
of the p3n njlo the c-nd of a stick or pole five or
six feet in length, is sufficient, so that it can be
raised handily and carried about the tree and
through the branches. Care must be taken not
to have a blaze. This should be repeated about
once a week for three weeks, after the plnm is
formed from the blossom.

Large Fire in Philadelphia — Loss §200,000.
—Philadelphia, Oct. 17.—About two o’clock this
morning a fire commenced in the lumberyard of
Samuel Megargc-e, on the Delaware, near tho
High Bridge. The lumberyard was entirely de
stroyed, and the fire thence extended to the iron
rolling mill of James and Nathan Rowland, and
the. machine works ofT. B. Chapman, doing very
great damage. About twenty buildings on Beach,
Penn and Poplar streets were destroyed; also,
Joseph Anthony’s carpenter shop, and George F.
Saimauder’s ship chandlery. The loos is estimat
ed ‘at $200,000. The steam engine, Young
America, and the Boston engine company Cata
met were at the fire doing excellent service.
Cheap Vinegar. —The juice of one bushel of
sugar beets, worth twenty five cents, and which
any farmer can raise with little cost, will make
from five to six gallons of vinegar, equal to the
best made of elder wine. Firsl wash and grate
the beets, and express the juice in a cheese-press,
or in any other way which a little ingenuity can
suggest, and put tho liquor Into a barrel; cover the
bung with gauze and set it in the sun, and in fif
teen or twenty days it will be fit for use. By this
method the very best of vinegar can be obtained
without any great trouble or expense, and of a
much belter quality than the stuff .sold at the
shops, much of which is muriatic acid, or acids of
a still more poisonous quality.
Heavy Thunder Storm. —The Chicago Jour
nal, of the 6th ult. says : —The most terrible thun
dev storm we have ever witnessed, visited this city
on Saturday night. The storm lasted for some
two hours, during which time the thunder was
terrific, and the lightning of frightful brilliancy
and constancy. The heavens at one time appear
ed like a scroll of fire, and the, thunder peals
sounded like the crash of worlds. The earth trem
bled to its very centre, and the more nervous por
tion of our people thought our city was doomed
to destruction. The lightning struck the resi-:
dence of Mr. J. T. Moulton, on Fulton street, shat
tering the front door castings. The house had a
conductor, but the electricity appears to have left
it near the doer. The Lake House was also'*
struck.
Gold at Son Francisco. —Letters from Califor
nia state that the supply of dust at San Francisco
lias been curtailed, in consequence of the low stage
of water in the rivers. Thousands of miners are
out of employment, and although the amount of
river gold is largely increased, the supply from
this source does not make up the difference occa
sioned by the want of watei iu tho diggings.
Sudden Death. —The Boston Transcript says ;
On Wednesday last, as Mr. John Ha!!, the sexton
and undertaker connected with Rev. Dr. Lnnt’s
Church, in Quincy, di .1 suddenly while driving a
horse at a funera!. Fie wat flfty-six-year ;of age,
and it is supposed that the cause of death was au
affection of tlie heart. As he was riding along it
was noticed that hii hat fell from his head to the
ground, nnd that lie appeared insensible of the
fact; this circumstance caused someone to ap
proach him, when he was found to be perfectly
lifeless, though he sat erect nnd rigid, bolding the
reins with a firm grasp.
SfST The Cleveland (N. C.) Time? say.? that Dr.

This is a work on an important subject. To ba ac
quainted with the Covenants is to understand tha
‘ Law and the Gospel,” it is to comprehend the genius
of tho Patriarchal, the Jewish, and the Christian Eoon*- -
omy.
Misconceptions of the import of the Covenants bare
given rise to many of the heresies that have cursed tha
world. The Evils of Infant Baptism, as Bro H. hae
shown in another work, are enormous and gigantsa.
Why has infant baptism ever been practiced I . jaau
is it practiced now; Because the Uoyn&ants are net
understood. —Tennessee Baptist.
The Southern Baptist Publication Society, desiring
that the contents of this volume on the Covenant*
may be more largely read, widely circulated and per
fectly understood, have reduced the price of the a
bove Book to 45 cts. Every Baptist should read it.

“The dieenseion is conducted with remarkable abil

system, is Anti Republican. No Discussion sinoe the
debate of Drs. Wayland and Fuller on slavery, ha*
presented such a well tempered, and manly exhibition
of Christian Polemics. —Southern Baptist.
“This book contains one of the best specimens of
protracted controversy, it has ever been our good for
tune to meet with. Both Methodist and Baptiet suc
ceeded in maintaining a kind and courteous spirit.
So well satisfied are the friends of each of the gentle
men with the course pursued, that they are mutually
engaged in the circulation of the work.—Biblical Re

“Never, since the days of George Whitfield and

audiences; and none who, in his happiest efforts, caa
so completely enthral the attention and delight tha
