onion of all Interests would tend greatly to expedite
a railway communication which la to break down the
barrier that now Interposes between the Atlantio and

Let m examine this subject for a moment. Aeon*

fire hours communication with New York, and mako
the time to New Orleans (Tom New Tork only about

'dloua navigation around the Capes of Florida in its
cflbct upon the commercial relations of the north and
aohtb, the east and the west, and of Europe also, the
oonsideratioos above named make it desirable that
the work be speedily finished. Tho age of alow
coaches is peering away—men most travel by steam
—the mails must be carried by steam, and that too
by the shortest route, and, therefore, in the shortest
time. Bnt when to all this we add the Impetus which
must be given to the oommerce of the world by tho
nearest and most practicable route from Europe and
the Atlantio States to our possessions on the Onlf
and tire great Paciflo Ocean, the subject rises into an
Importance which is incalculable.
We respectfully suggest, then, that these consider
ations require that there be no flagging in this work
on the part of any section of the country, especially
in the south and south-west. The Gulf cities that we
have named have it in their power greatly, to expe
dite the work that is to benefit them as well as the
' city of Savannah, and we hope tho citizens of those
Places, and if need be, their corporate authorities will
take the matter in hand, and that speedily.

The HlncrvlIIe Meeting.
In the official report of the Hinoavillo meeting of tho
•“ Union Conservative Citltena,” of Liberty county, held on
25th alt., as published in the Savannah Republican,! And
tho following:
“ Whereat, The great questions which had hitherto divi
ded tho Whig and Democratic parties of theso United States,
have become obsolete, and there oxlsts no cause why they
should be kept open, or made questions at Issue : therefore
we, a portion of the cltisens of Liberty county, desiring to
S remote tho Interest of our common country, especially of
ie South, as self-preservation Is the first law of nature.’
and whereas, the Hon. Chas. J. Jenkins has beon designat
ed by a Convention of the Union Conservative Citizens of
Georgia, as a candidate for the Gubernatorial Chair of tho
State, and Francis 8. Bartow, Esq., by the Conservative
Citizens of the 1st District, as their candidate for Congress,
Therefore,'* Aic., Aw.
Now, I would like to know upon what authority the
Whigs; alias “the Union-Conservativo-Republican-Bob
Toombs-Charles J. Jenkins-dissolrlng-the-Constltutton&l-
Party” Citizens declare that certain principles for which tho
Democratic party have befen contending from the founda
tion of the Government, and the Whig party battling against
as long, are now “ obsolete!” Is it because the patriotism
and wisdom of tho American people, testified through Dora-
ocratio principles, have exposed the true principles or
Whiggery aa unsound, un-Amorican, unconstitutional and
unwiset If so, let them be honest and acknowledgo It,
and u prove their faith by their works,” In sustaining those
whose sagacity and patriotism have saved our common
• conntry from misrule—and not after toiling for the
. mand.of the ship of State until forced to yield, and tacitly
admitting that if they bad got tho command, tho ship of
State would have been strandod on tbo breakers of igno-
ranco or the rock of ambition, turn round with such ef
frontery and ask the Democracy to placo them in command
on the ground that old issues are '• obsoloto I” (I wonder
If.the Whig dictionary has tho.word modosty In it—if not,
I refer them to Walker.) Why not call Whig principles by
their right names—exploded English-Algerine-Fbleral
tlons, touched off by Democratic patriotism T
Oh, yes I they tell you that old issues are obsolete, out
of fashion; but they forget to tell you that they are out of
fashion just so long as Whigs are out of power, and no
longer; for while thoy tell you that old issues are not be
fore .the people, they take good care not to tell you that
they are advocates of Democratic principles, Yot Demo
crats and friends of Pierce are askid to support Ur. Jenkins
and Ur, Bartow, who are and always have been Whigs—
supporters of Daniel Webster, who declared that he would
surer vote for the admission of one hair's breadth more of
slave territory into the Union—Ur. Jenkins running on the
Webster ticket for the Ylce-Presldenoy. And against whom
are we called upou to support]Ur. Jenkins and Ur. Bartow?
Against Judge Johnson, who always has been and is now a
Democrat, and Mr. Seward, who had disesrnment to see
and honesty and firmness to act, and who is the nominee
of tfie Democracy—Johnson, who, (when Jenkins disband
ed the Constitutional Union party because Union Demo
crats would not go with him, 4nd returned to his flrit love,
Whiggery,) was the first man In Georgia to beat the re
veille forth* rallying of the Democracy. At tho time, too,
when- Jenkins seemed to think the Constitutional Union
platform could be of no farther use to him, Johnson and
Seward proclaimed in its favor, saying it was the action of
Georgia - and that' they would defend It, and subsequently
aided In engrafting the Compromise on the platform of the
• national Democracy. Whigs tell os that old questions are
M obsolete,” bnt they do not.tell us why they are battling
ngabut Democratic supporters of the true principles of the
country.
CitiMms of Georgia I Whiggery hasnevor triumphed in
onr beloved State exeept when the people,the unsuspect

We expected a innoh greater Increase in the earn
ings of the. road over the previous year, bat the ox*
eessive rains and heavy freaneto In the months of Au
gust, 8opteraber and November, not only injured our
rood, seriously, but rendered transportation almost
Impossible throughout a great portion of Bouth-west
ern Georgia, and greatly diminished our business for
a considerable time. After we had nearly recovered
from these difficulties, the small pox made its anpoar-
anco at Oglothorpe, and other points on our road, and
for a time our business waa almost suspended. In
throe of onr best, business months, when we bad ex*,
pectod a large Increase over the previous year, the
falling off was about twelve thousand dollars,
transportation of Cotton for tho year bas conuoi
ly fallen short of tbo previous year 6.043 bales.
The shops and engine house at the depot, in this

The manufaotnre of freight cars In onr own shops,

onr business.
Tho Columbus Branch Is about completed, and was
opened for regular business on tho 10th day of May.
Slnco that time, the line between tbis city and Co*
lambns, has been in uninterrupted operation.
The business from this bransh bas been very satis
factory, particularly in passengers, and we bavo rea
son to expect a constant increase.
Great care has'bcen taken in the construction of
this branoh, and it is therefore entitled to rank among
the best constructed roads in the State. I refer yon
to the report of the Chief Engineer for a detailed
statement of the coat of this branch.
The Opelika branch of the West Point and Mont
gomery road is all under contract, and, os 1 am in
formed, is rapidly progressing in construction. I un
derstand there is little donbt that it will be finished in
less than one year from this time.
Tho Angustaand Waynesborough road is approach
ing completion, and although it haa been retarded by
a series of very discouraging circumstances—sick
ness among the operatives, difficulty amounting to al
most an impossibility of obtaining a sufficient force
to carry on tho work—I am informed that It will Lo
completed through to Augusta during next fall.
It is unnecessary for me to repeat to tho stock
holders my estimate of the advantages that the com
pletion of these two works will confer on our Com-
pa fc„. f ear from this time, wo may expect that
an entire railroad line will bo in operation from New
York to Montgomery, Ala., of which our road will
form an important part.
The Mobile and Gerard Company aro pushing their
work with vigor, and have recently received large ad-
itons to their stock. Thero seems now to be very lit-
tlo doubt of the succesof that enterprise, and there
can bo none that it will add very much to tho value
of our road, whenever it shall bo completed, and will
enjoy reciprocal advantages from our road, which
will be its most Important feeder.
On tho 12th of August, 1862, the Board of Direc
tors
Retained, “ That this Board has always shown IU willing
ness to extend the road whonovor a sufllciont sum of mon
ey should be subscribed to authorize an extension.

follows tw6 and a fourth miles, to a short distance
above Light-Wood-Knot Creek, where it crosses and
follows,up this last stream and one of Its tributaries
to the table land between Bweet Water and Muukalce
Crooks.
From this point, whloh Is fourteen and i fourth

rect course, and ovor vory favorable ground three

along which is carried to within a short distance or Its

tlonablo, owing to the height of the batik, which is
26 feet, and the heavy grade (onr maximum of 45 per
mile) to and from this point. Tho first cost, includ
ing the embankment, will be some $4,000 more, but
being a permanent structure, will be cheaper in the
end.
Tho grading on this lino was commenced in April,
with A force of about 100 bauds. The force was in
creased to 175 in Jane, and now numbers 283 hands,
besides considerable animal power. This force will
bo considerably increased daring the tall and winter
months. The work has, for the force employed, pro
gressed very rapidly, and with the addition of anoth
er hundred bands, we may count safely on tho com
pletion of the road by the fall of 1854.

road Company, on the day of completion of the road to

Agreeably to the terras proposed in tho above reso
lutions, the oitlzens of Americas and its vicinity, with
a promptness worthy of all praise, subscribed $75,000,
and paid the first instalment of 25 per cent A fur
ther installment of 25 per cent, has been called, which
has been paid. Tho lino was located during the past
fall nnd winter, and placed under contract to experi
enced and responsible contractors.
The work was commenced in tho month of April,
and is now progressing satisfactorily with a force of
about three hundred hands. We hope to have it com
pleted in time to transport the next crop after the one
now growing. For a description of the line and an
estimate of its cost, I refer you to tho report of tho
Chief Engineer.
Since the determination of the Board to extend the
road to Americas, railroad iron has advanced 100 per
cent.; the cost of the road will be enhanced in conse
quence nearly $3,000 per mile. This excess will have
to bo provided for by tho issue of an additional a-
mount of the Company’s bonds.
Tho spirit and promptness with which tho people
of Sumter respondod to tho proposition forextend
ing tho Road to Araoricus, induced tho Board to con
sider the expediency of a further extension; and in
vlow ot tho great interest manifested throughout
South-western Georgia on tho subject, thoy, at their
meeting this day, passed tho following resolutions s
Whereat, many applications have been made, from vari
ous quarters, for thu further extension of the road of this
Company, boyond Auiericni’, and inasmuch as this Com
pany has always been willing to extend tho Hoad whenovor
the people of South-western Georgia should be prepared to
come up to the work,
And whereat. tho Charter of tho Company looks to „
route intermediate tho Hint nnd Chattahoochee rivers,
whence connections enn bo made to Fort Gaiues on tho ono
hand, and Albany on the ottier hand ;
Anti whereat, tho Company is encouraged, by tho course
of the citizens of Sumter county, in relation to the exten
sion to Amoricua, and by the prevailing feeling of tho peo
ple generally, to cu on according to the spirit or the charter,
... fjyjj tllla Company will extend its Road
' ‘he 12th dist
It i» Resolved, — -
from Amerlcus through tho 12th district of Lee’ County,
and the 4th district of Randolph County, to a point on or
a . .. - -
near the north lino of Baker County, provided individuals
shall, by the first day of January next, subscribe for stock
to tho extontof $226,000, (two-fifths of tbo estimated cost
of tho whole extension,) on the following terms:
1st. Twenty per oent to be paid on subscribing, and tho
residue in instalments to bo called by the Company as may
be required for tho proseoution of tho work.
2nd. The now subscribers to bo placed on the footing of
tho present stockholders, as soon as tho extension is com-
f leted ; provided, that if it shall bo determined to open
he extension in part, an account shall bo kopt of the nett
earnings of so much of the road as may bo opened, nnd the
snmo shall go to those who subscribe the $225,000, pro rata,
in tho proportion of their subscription to tho whole cost or
the extension, according to the shares thoy respectively
hold, until tho extension is complote.
Retoleed, That the President is requested to bavo a pre
liminary survey of tho route, made at as early a day as
possible.
Should tho extension of the Road contemplated in
the above resolutions of the Board be carried Into ef
fect, I think I can Bafoly assure the stockholders that
they may look with confidence for a very large in
crease of bnslness, and a material onhancemont of
the value of their stock. Tho point of terminus in
dicated is in the very heart of tho richest cotton
lands, and in a section of conntry which is being
Bottled with unparalleled rapidity. We can scarcely,
even in the imagination, over-estimate tho future
wealth and productiveness ot the region of conntry
alluded to, particularly in the great staple of our
country.
I cannot for a moment donbt that the ]
_ . jle wlll
at once see their Interest so far as to respond to the
proposition of tho Board of Directors, and that but a
few months will elapse before we shall havo the whole
lino under contract. „
In conclusion, I cannot forbear to congratulate the
stockholders on the success of their enterprise, and
Its bright prospects for the fhtnro, and,to assure them
that it will be tbe constant care of the Board of Di
rectors to preserve tbe present high creditor tbe com
pany, and bo conduct its operations os to produce tbe
greatest amonnt of pnbllo benefit, os well as individ
ual profit to tho stockholders.

of foundation.

Tub Slave Trade—its extent—the Cuban Mar
kets, Ac.—The select committee had published their
report on tho slave trade treaty. It is a very long and
important document. Its substance is that Britain
possessed, in 1850, twenty-four treaties with civiliz-
et! pun ora tv suppress tlic traae ; of tlicse, ten glvo
Britain a right of search and mixed courts ; twelve
give the right of a search nnd national tribunals ; and
two, the United States and France, refuse the righ of
search, but agree to maintain a squadron off the Afri
can coast.
Britain had also forty-two treaties with African
chiefs and princes. Since tho above dato, she had
terminated two more with civilized governments,and
twenty-three with Africans—making an aggregate of
eighty-nine treaties to suppress tho trado. Tho com
mittee report that the trade would soon be extin
guished, iUlie Cuban market was closed, and think
tho present limo favorablo for the Joint efforts of Brit
ain, France, and tho Uuited States to atop it on the
Cuban coast. Brazil is exonerated from blame. Por
tugal is charged with conniving at the traffic on tho
Mozambique coast, and tbe committee say that histo
ry docs not record a more decided breach of national
honor than is established against Spain, and it is a
matter or great surprise, while Spain is at this time
indebted to England and Franco for their efforts to
form a tripartite convention with the United States
to protect Cuba from piratical attacks, that the gov
ernment of Spain should uot take warning from tho
fact that ono of the reasons alleged by tho United
States for not joining that convention, is tbe continu
ance of the slave trade in tho island.
Tho report docs not Bay what is to be dono, bnt
adds: From tho abuse of the American flag trading
to Havana, a more cordial co-opcratlon on the part of
the United States would materially assist tho efforts
to abolish the trado in that quarter.

try. forraeriy called Dacia, was occupied by a v
like peoplo, who cultivated their fields during
warm ssston. qhd spent tho rest of their time id mil-
the
magnificent bridge bnilt over the Danube, fonght the
Barbarians, and Tn affito of their obstinate resistance,
forced them to submit to his empire. Dacia thon be
came a,Roman province ; and in order to re-people
the conntry devastated by wars, Trojan sent there
many Latin colonists, who became masters of the
soil. This explains why tho Moldo Walachian lan
guage is a Roman or Latin Idiom intermingled with
Salavonian expressions. This people are proud of
their descent from the ancient companions of Ctcsar.
Moldavia and Walachia were successively traversed
by tho Goths, Hons, Bulgarians, and othors who in
vaded the Roman empire. The two provinces bo
came a heap of ruins. In the ninth century, the cel
ebrated missionaries Methodius and Cyril, were Bent
there by the patriarchs of Constantinople, and com
municated to tho inhabitants some knowledge of Chris
tianity. 3Jhe Roman pontiffs claimed the suprema
cy over these new Christian communities; bnt it was
contested vigorously by the high dignitaries of the
—**' Titer * *
Eastern church, who after a long time triumphed—
The Moldo Walachians havo thus belonged, from the
beginning, to tho orthodox Greek church, and natu
rally nnite with the Russians. Their religion is min
gled with many errors, and their worship is very
gross. Each of the two principalities has an arch
bishop resident in tho capital oi the State, and Bub-
joot to the jurisdiction of the patriarch of Constant!
noplc. Tho tiqpas, or parish priests, being poorl
educated and poorly paid, do not enjoy much consii .
oration. Tho monks havo a high reputation for sanc
tity ; from them aro chosen the chief rulers of the
church, but they are as ignorant os tho priests. Both
seem incompetent for the instruction of their flocks.
As to tbe political state of tbe Moldo Walachians,
they were tributaries, for some ages, of the Eastern
Empire, which sent them governors called despots or
lords. When the chiefs of the Lower Empire were
too feeble to protect them, tho inhabitants of the
Danubiao-provinces implored the aid of tho Poles,
who forraed-then tho most powerful northern nation,

Then they fell under the Turkish yoke, and were an
nexed to the Ottoman empire inl529,nnder tho reign
of the sultan Soliman II. Thoy retain by treaty their
hereditary princes, their religion, their cival laws, but
tho government of Constantinople, having placed
garrisons in all the forts and cities of tho country,
does not respect treaties. It loads the Moldo Wala
chians with oppressive taxes, appoints governors,
who purchase their offices by large sums of money,
and treats the poor inhabitants aa slaves who deserve
no pity.
Iu this sad condition, the Moldo Walachians tnra
for help to Russia, which, since the beginning of the
eighteenth century, under tbo reign of Peter the
Great, has acquired a preponderating power in the
East. The Muscovite czars are eager to Interfere in
the affairs of the Danubian provinces, political and
religious interests impel them in this conrso : and in
a ortlon ns tho St. Petersburg cabinet succeods
1st the Tnrks.it usurps more extenslvo rule in
the principalities. Tho progress of this usurpation is
striking. Russia asked, by the treaty of 1774 with
the Ottoman Porte, the right to meditation in favor
of Moldavia and Walachia. The treaty of 182G chang
es this mediation into tbo right of representation.—
Then, in 1829, by tho treaty of Andrianoplo, tho
right qf representation becomes one of guaranty.—
This is not all; the right of guaranty becomes, in
1834, the. right of protectorate ; that is to say, noth
ing can bo done in the two provinces without tho np-
S robation of tho Muscovite government. Just now,
le right of protectorate takes the form of a right of
occupation, and sooner or later, this lost will bo in
terpreted as a right of annexation / Give "Russia tho
finger, and she will take tho hand 1
Tho two principalities havo been governed, since
the intervention of Russia, by hospidars, a word of
Sclavio origin,signifying/orrf.t. These civil and mil
itary chiefs were nt first chosen by the nobles of the
country. The sultans afterwards usurped the choice
oi governors, and bartered thu office scandalously to
tho Greeks or Constantinople, who sought it only to
enrich themselves by cruel exactions. Walachia, in
tho space of 70 years, was under the authority of 40
different hospidars, who exhausted the resources of
the province. The situation was intolerable. So
Russia stipulated, in 1792, that the hospidars Bhould
bo appointed for seven years. Subsequently the boy-
ards, er nobles, recovered tbo right of choosing their
governors. The hospidars were appointed for life,
but on condition that the cholco be Agreed to by the
Sublime Porte and approved by Russia. Indeed, the
f irinces of Moldavia and Walachia have nevor been
ndopendent. Tho prefects, or subaltern governors,
f ;o to get their Instructions at St. Petersbnrgh ; and
fthey displease tho Muscovite government, they aro
soon deposed from offico. Although appointed for
life, Prince Ghikas for example, who was at tho head
of Walachia, was sent away unceremoniously.
Tho population of tho Daunbian provinces is divi
ded into several distinct classes. The bayards hold
tho first rank. They monopolize the political power,
own almost all tho territory, nnd pay no taxes for
their land. Thoy aro a feudal and privileged aristo
cracy, In tho foil meaning of tho world. Tho peas
ants have ceased, Indeed, to bo serfs, as in Russia ;
they havo certain legal securities, and are masters of
thefr persons and labors. But these rights are more
nominal than real. The peasants live miserably, un
der the brutal yoke of tho boyards, and are stupid
and ignorant. The artisans who lived In the cities,
have instituted corporations todefeniltheirprivileges.
Commerce and navigation are iu the hands of foreign
merchants, German, Russians, Greeks, Armenians
and Jews. Tho nomberor Jews is very large, owing
to the recent emigration from Poland and Russia ; ft
amounts to at least 00,000. These descendants of Ja
cob are, as everywhere, skilful, active, and rich. The
provinces contain, lastly, nearly 120,000 Bohemians
or Gipsies, who aro domestics or slaves of the boy-
arda ; they havo no civil rights, live in abject prover-
ty, nnd in some cases can be sold by their masters.
Tho laws are a compound of the old Roman code
and 8clavonian customs. A new penal code, and a
now commercial code have been promulgated ; hot
they are poorly observed. Tho hospador exercises
alone the exc'cntlvo power. The boyards jointly with
some ecclesiastical dignitaries compose tho legisla
tive power or Divan j they meet annually to discuss
bills, and make appropriations which arc proposed to
them. This constitution would bo tolerable, if it was
pat in practice by intelligent and liberal men. In tbe
present sta|to of the principalities, it is an engino of
oppression, rather than of liberty. Tho Moldo Wala
chian army amounts to 52,000 soldiers. The officers
are chosen from the aristocratio families, and the col
onels or officers of high rank are for tho most part
foreigners. Russia takes care. to bavo some of her
generals appointed, so that this army may be always
at her disposal! ■:
The manners of the people are simple and rude—
Some of the wealthy copy European habits at Bucha
rest an Jassy; they love diplay and luxury ; and
nro somewhat acquainted with the literature of Ger
many and France. But the mass.of tbe nation re
main sunk in ignorance. Moldavia and Walachia,
with four millions of inhabitants, do not famish there
thousand students for tbo colleges. Theological in*
strnclion is given in some monasteries; bnt a meagre
abridgment or the chnrch fathers serves as the text
book for oil tbelr instructions.
* ‘ lordnce
The soil is fertile, and might uordnee abundantly :
but unhappily agriculture is still very backward and
defective. The boyards undestoc ’ — ‘
jyards undestood nothing of it, and
the peasantry aro not stimnlated to make improve*
its because “ - - “ ‘ ***.-»— j -
menu because they aro not owners of the land. The
training of sbeop and of bees begins to bo attended to
with more intelligence. The Dannbian provinces
possess mines of iron, copper, quicksilver, sulphur,
coal; bnt they aro not worked. The present exports
of Walaohia are valhed at about 40 millions of francs,
and the imports at 30 to 32 millions.
Iri a word, the Moldo Walachian principalities have
before them a magnificent prospect of wealth and
power, if they succeed In gaining their independence,
and in entering on tbe great career of civilization.—
They have a repugnance to Russia, and rightly;
thoir prosperity dopends on the recovery of tboir na
tionality. X.

Wo havo recolved a printed circular sent os by J.
B - Horton (“ for Christ's sake,” ns he avers) remon
strating against the press in general, and the 8unday
K ®, 88 jn particular, for. the habitual desecration of tho
oly Sabbath. Tho secular preus. be complains, ad
vertise '• Sunday Excursions!" and invito people, for
tho sake of fifty cents, to violate “ God’s Fourth Com
mandment ”; and the Sunday press " disgusts the
eyes, and ears and hearts of tho people with' sights
and sounds unholy presented and made by the thoua-
and ragged newsboys crying Sunday papers.”
The editors of the Sunday press are able' to answer
for themselves to these grave charges of Sabbath
breaking. As one of tho week-day sinners, we have
only to say to our consor, that we believe with the
" tlior of Chrii ....
author of Christianity, that ” the Sabbath was made
for man, and not mao for the Sabbath.” We respect
tho day of rest as one of the wisest and benignest of
what are termed the " divine institntions.” We be
lieve it was intended as a holiday for man and beast
—a day sacred to rest, to recreation, to tho Indulgence
of the social affections and the general recuperation of
body, mind and soul. A day lor the poor laborer to
go forth from bis prison-house of toil and sweet, and
breathe the fresh air of heaven. A day to listen to
the singing of the birdB, the bamming of tho bees,
and the murmuring of the brooks. A day for think
ing, reading and loving the children. A day to ex
alt in the goodness of God—in the beauty of Nature—
in tho immortality of the Soul. A day for church-go
ing and psalm-singing, for persons who find tbelr
thoughts elevated and thoir affections purified by
such exercise. As every man mast stand or Tall nt
last by hla own merits, or demerits, we sni
man has an absolute right to spend the Sabbath in
any way he chooses, providetl he does not infringe
tho righto oi his neighbor. It was only the Phari
sees wno raised the hue-and-cry against tho Naza-
rene for wolkingln the corn fields and talking with
his friends on the Sabbath day. He tanaht men to be
holy in life—kind, charitable, forgiving"and benevo
lent : and to walk abroad on the day of rest to see
the bending grain and the blooiplng lilies. With ail
dne respect for J. B. Horton, we think the way the
Christian Sabbath was '* observed ” in Bethelhera
1800 years ago, by ono whoso practice ever went
hand in hand with his precepts, is the only example
that wo are divinely called upon to follow—JV. Y.

Example and Precept.
TO give good advice is one of tho easiest things in
tho world. Very few are so ignorant as not to know
the right from wrong, and tbe greatest rascal on earth
if he were to give his serious counsel toothers, would
advise them to a very different coarse from that which
he chooses for himself. The world is full of precept ;•
every body can tell yon what is right, but few are
found to show what is right, by their own example.
A man can easily mako a high profession, and boost
of his virtues and excellencies, when all manner of
wickedness Is in bis heart, and when deeds of dark
ness stain his life. Thero Is much force, then, in the
old remark, that** an ounce of example will go much
further than a ponnd of precept” Those, therefore,
who would bo successful in teaching others, should
exhibit examples of what they would have. This is a
day in which no one thinks of doing much in teach
ing the sciences or- tho arts without diagrams, pic-
tores, illustrations, experiments, Ac., to show the
truth of his reasonings and positions. This rule is
equally tmo In morals and religion. It is useless to
preach np morally unless examples can be shown—
‘ We do not want precepts bo much as patterns,’ says
Pliny. That is tho thing ; patterns or morality, and
of piety, are whi#ia needed to give force all the good
preaching and good advico with which onr country
now abounds-Chatanooga Advertiser.
Richf.8 op TnB Old Testament—There is scarce
ly a surer evidence of low attainments in religion,
than undervaluing the Old Testament. The mature
Christian finds it rich in the same gospel as the New,
and the New is the key to the Old. ‘If the Psalms,’
says Irving, in his brilliant introduction to Horne,
‘contain not the argumont of the Biraple doctrines,
and the details of the Issues of tho gospel, to reveal
which the Word of God became flesh ana dwelt among
ns.yet.nowthatthe key is given, and the door of
spiritual life to opened, whore do yon find such spiritual
treasures as in the book of Psalms, wherein are reveal
ed tho depths of the soul’s sinfulness, the stoutness of
herrcbolllon against God, the horrors of spiritual de
sertion, tho agonies of contrition, the blessedness of
pardon, the joys of restoration, the constancy of faith,
and every other variety of Christain experience? And
if they contain not the narrative of the Messiah’s birth,
and life, and death ; or the labors of his apostolic ser
vants, and tbe stragglings of his infant chnrch; as
these are written In the books of the New Testament,
where in the whole scriptures, can we find such dec
larations of the work of Christ, in bis humilation and
its glory, the spiritual agonies of his death and glori
ous issues of his resurrection, tho wrestling of bis
kingdom with tho powers of darkness, its triumph
over tho heathen, and tho overthrow of all its ene
mies ?’
