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.

For tho Georgian. 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.

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 city, which were in the’ course of construction at the date of the last foport, have been completed, and fur nished with toOB and maohinery. We are now equip ped in that respect, so aa to bo able to perform, with economy and dispatch, all ncoesaary repairs to onr motive power ana cars, as well as to manufacture onr own freight care; We have addod to our rolling stock, since last report, twenty-flve burden core, two baggage care,two pasaengercars.nndfourlocomotlvo We expect to receive daring the next month two engines from tho manufactory of Rogers, Ketchum & Groaveuor, of Patterson, New Jersey, which wo hope will render onr power sufficient for the business of the coming season.».*: ■' 1 r 1 * •' - The manufaotnre of freight cars In onr own shops, will be continued to meet the Increasing demands of 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.

From this point, whloh Is fourteen and i fourth miles from Oglothorpe, the line is conducted in a di rect course, and ovor vory favorable ground three and fourth miles, to tho north slope of Town Branch, along which is carried to within a short distance or Its present terminus, when It crosses to the south or Americas Bide of that stream and terminates a few hundred feet south of the Pond Town road. • From Camp Creek to 8weet Water comprises tho mast difficult and expensive portion of the line, be tween which points, a fill of 43 feet in crossing the south prongor Double Branoh,a cut of 34 feet In pas sing the ridge between Doable Branoh and Sweet.

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.

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. y submitted, ).

Tub Russo-Tuukisu Question.—A rumor circula ted in London on Friday evening, the 10th lust., that new complications had sprung up, and that Parlia ment would be prorogued till they assumed a more 'favorable aspect. They story was, however, destitute of foundation. News from Scrvla mentions that Kincuin was ap pointed commander-ln-chlef, and tho chiefs of tho va rious districts were placed under his orders. Affairs of Great Britain.—Tho long promised debates on Turkish affliira had taken place in Parlia ment, and were generally regarded os unsatisfactory. The English funds opened next day with a further depression, although they afterwards revived from other causes. The farce of assembling a convocation of the church es was duly gone through with on tho 18th and im mediately adjourned to November 10. 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.

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, Proposals to grant 8,000,000 francs, to pay the lo gacles of Napoleon I, will probably bo carried.

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. Acquittal op Comstock, the New Haven Rail road Conductor.—Charles H. Comstock, the con ductor, who was on trial last week in Connecticut, on a chargo or having, through carelessness, caused the nwftil calamity at the Norwalk drawbridge, on tho New Jlaven Railroad, last May, has been acquitted Sabbath Dlacoratlon. 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. Mirror. 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 ?’ Invention*.
