In tliu | last pnragi aph of the, lliiid letter »’c have so asserted, and in this reassert it. We have also asserted, in a previous ! letter, that man, in his primitive state, was not a subject of rewards or pun- ■■ fehmonta for any act which lie did, or | might have done. And, reader, the j reason is obvious: lie had not attaineu j to that high moral and intellectual emi nence of the Gods, to know the existence j of the priuciple of good and evil. And | further, I assert upon principle, that it j was not only necessary lor man to know the existence of the principles oi good j and evil, blit that lie must know and j comprehend the characteristic elements of each; or, for obedience, he could not enjoy the rewards of the one, nor, f>r disoledior.ee, could he, in justice, suffer the penalty of the other. There was but one c< mmatul given: thou shall not cat, etc. S' ) pose Adam i had strictly obeyed t'. at ci mmand, could | ljo in any otherwise have stunt'd and liavi : been accountable for the act to any tri ■ | banal in the universe? Suppose be bad | cut down tbe tree of life, would lie have j sinned? If s->, against whose law? There was no law commanding him n t j to do it, and by what principle of justice eonld a-penalty be inflict)d? Any pnn- i ishment for tlio act would have beoi | vindictive and ex pint facto. Suppose' Adam had slain Eve, as Cain did Abel would be have b.'cn accountable for that act? If so, to wl at tribunal? For in stance, the deed had been done, and Adam arraigned before the Judge of the universe for trial, and Paul, who says he failed not to declare the whole coun sel of God, had appeared as his ndvo cate, would ho not have nv ved to quash i the indictment, upon the giound that there was no law upon whic'i to predi cate it—and would he not then, as the Apostle of Christ, have reasoned as ho did in it) mans v, 13: “Sin is not iinpu ted when there is no law. ” If Adam had taken to wif ■ one of tl i j daughters of men, ns did his descend uita j and for which the world was ihu’r vi and would l.c have siued by eo doing? Certainly not; because to Ids mind ;hiri , was tm law, either malum in «• or ni i'u prohilrita. Thai the consi quc era ■ f hi acts, would have been evil tin re can 1 < no controversy; but not criminal, fui j crime consists in the violation of an < x- : isting law. If a man’s lifo bo taken, tbe evil is just as great if done by an irresponsible, as if done by a responsible agent, but certainI}' 1 }' a vast distinction I in ihc ciiminalty. The ev.l priucplej by which the man is brought to bis| death, existed always, bat the sin con sists, not in tbe principle, but in doing j the act, knowing the oil. Adam k ie\v he was commanded not to eat; he a!g" j knew from the woman that the Serpent advised them to eat ; but l.c know no! distinguishing good us tin one from tin evil of the other. Neither da I, for I re gard both os the same -a Divine men tality and without personality. Now, my dear theologians, you tell ns j that Adam was created immortal and j perfect in his morals. If created immor tal, his immortality was a great truth,' an eternal truth! Was that truth changed to falsehood by tbe art of man? You say lie is mortal now. When did, bis immortality cease and Ins mortality j begin? You tay with tbe fall; what pro daccd the fall? Sin, yon say. Then j sin was antecedent to the fall, oi the fall could not have been the consequen ces of sin. Did Adam sin btfuro the I fall, or fall before tbe sin? If you sav he sinned first, then evidently be was , not perfect; fur be had to be imperfect to sin, and bad to sin to fall. Do toll | me, if the immortality and perfection of I Adam was an eternal truth, at what period his perfections ceased or hie mor tality began. Are you not inevitably driven to the assertion, that a perfect man fell; or to the admission that Adam was not perfect? If he was perfect, he j would not fall; if imperfect, he could not. Now, my theological friends, have you j not in your eager reach in the pursuit of I the winds of di ctrine involved your selves in tLc inextricable rr.eshes of theo logical solicisms? You say you believe tbe Bible, and that it teaches you that Adam was made immortal and perfect. 1 say I believe the Bible, aid that i: teaches me no 6ueh thing. You have the affirmative, and to prove the humor- ' tality of the body, you assert that the | soul died, and that was the death that | was to take place in the day of disobc | lienee; and then, ns a further penalty, tbe body must die. Now you have im mortality twice dead, and not satisfied, ;or rather insist that the law is not sat j isfied, and that (here is yet another more fearful penalty awaiting a dead soul—a dead body—an eternal death beyond the grave. From where do you j get your definition of immortality? I understand it to mean a state that never | ends. Was Adam created immortal in ! that sense of the term? If so, the pur j pose of the Deity was as futile as the ! purpose of a finite being, for it changed, j But then, you say, bn*created man hy pothetically immortal, to wit: that his ! immortality depended upon the contin gencies of his own acts; that he was immortal, ortain, if ho pursued one line of conduct—if not, then he was not im mortal. Avery enviable immortality, indeed, to be entrusted to a being whose understanding was so darkened that lie had to sin to open tbe eyes of his under ; standing, and thereby forfeit his immor j tality. To my theological friends I must say, [with n y conception of immutability, | that your pleaching in that regard is alsurd and in no wise sustained by the j scriptures. With all due respect to the j opinions oi cithers, I take the position that man was created mortal—(l refer t<> his body)—that the element of decay was in the composition—that it was crcati and for temporary purposes, design ed to pass away, and that (4e law man ifested in the creation of man was as changeless as any other principle in God's universal code. Does not every day and hour testify of man’s mortality? Do .-s not every death prove that hois not immortal; and does not his present mortality either contradict the assertion of his previous immortality, ortho im mutable principles of God's laws? God did not say to Adam, for that which thou hast done, shaft thou return to the dust; but in Gen. iii, 13, “In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art and unto dust shall thou return.” The period of h s hfo was not changed, but the man., ncr of living. I have never doubted tie immortality of (he sml, but believe that and was as perpetual and pare as the em ulations from Divinity that animated and vital!/, and the singing lusts of Ilcav ■ n: but the spirit blended with the clav, benumbed the sensibilities and restrain ed the moral undf intellectual capabili. ti. s. In the understanding’s thus ob scured condition, there cou'd be no joy, no sorrow, no love, no bate, no progress, no gratitude, no aspirations. This was the original condition of Adam. Does any sensible man envy it; does he de plore the chang< ? If not cease to revile the serpent that taught them wisdom’s ways. In the person of an infant babe, you have Adam’s primativo condition: it is naked and knowetb it not. S> was l»'. Will that child be ungrateful to its fond mother, who carefully unfolds its little mind, and sows the seeds of knowledge, teaches its pratling lips to speak the language of earth, and say “our father who art in Heaven.” If not, be thou not ungrateful to the alma ma~ ter ol Adam’s race, though it lie a ser pent—for that is just what it did. I therefore take the position, that there was no law tj govern the conduct of man from the opening of tlio eyes of Adam's understanding, save his own volition, until the law given to Noah when lie left the Ark. Gen. ix. And God saw that Adam’s race had gone to the extremities of iniquity, and that they were incapable of self government, and he cut them off, preserving the pu rity of the race in the family of Noah. And to Noah he gave a code of laws, all of which were advisory, with one ex ception. Gen ix, 6:"Whoso shedeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed.” These laws were insufficient to restrain I the descendants of Noah; they, too, like j their Antedeluvian progenitors, sinned : and brought upon themselves the con sequences of their wickedness. No otb !er law did man have until the grand ! scene of Sinai, when the decalogue was I delivered to Moses: and that was the 1 rule of man's moral action until tiie ad vent of the Savior. It was the law bo -1 fore; it was tbe law when he came; it is i the law now; for he said he came not to d< strov, but to fulfil the law. I won - j dor il theologians are willing to recog -1 nizc it us Uic law? if God thought it HEHE SHALL THE FKESS THE PEOPLE'S RI3HTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY PEAK AND UNEEIBED BY GAIN. QUITMAN, GEO., SEPTEMBER 1, 1871. was enough, his ministers ought to lie satisfied with its sufficiency. I believe in this law, and that man violated it : I believe in the necessity of a Savior: that he came to earth, that, he lived, that lie died, that ho was resurrected, and that he ascended to his Father. Now this is the belief of every rational man; the preachers all say so, and I believe them. As to his advent, his life, his death, his resurrection, as a historical fact, we all agree. But as to the pur pose of his advent, the purpose of his life, the purpose of his death, and the purpose of his resurrection, I cannot understand it as it is taught by the ministry, and of course do not believe as they do. I have no quarrel with the ministers of any denomination: they aie honest in their opinions, numerous and diversified as they are. I, too, am hon est in my opinions, and cannot forfeit mine fur theirs. And now, in the conclusion of this letter, I would just remark, that iuas much as rny former letters have been a subject of pulpit and side walk criti cisms, upon the ground that they go far back and raise issues that have long since been settled; that they are res adjudicala', if so, the precedent has not been published bv any competent bind ing authority; therefore I do not regard it. Error docs not bccomo right be cause of its antiquity, and if at this ri per age of the world, wo look back through the musty domes of the past, and see that a glaring error has over shadowed truth, shall we say it is too late to correct it now, or rather to dis cover it. If one stray beam comes to us through the mean de rings of the long gone by, isn’t it right tliat wo should trace it back through the dark lanes of the eternal past, and exhume it from its long interment—that its celestial purity may expose the predominant errors of tho past, and with its own supernal brilliancy illume tlio paths of the future, that leads to peace and j .y? But the reader enquires, what wonderful error I lias Amicus discovered in the Bible? 1 a: svver, none at all; but a most glaring ono in tlio preaching from it. You preach one original sin, that damned the whole race of man. The Bible teaches me no such thing. But I learn from il that Adam discovered tho existence of good and evil, and that by him, as the federal head and representative, that il was manifest) dto all his race. That his descendants, or nearly all, sinned by the Itvo and practice of evil, ami brought condemnation upon themselves It was not for any sin us Adam, hut tor the specific and substantive i ffensts of then ms of Adam. If all were alike condemned, low did Noah escape? He knew good and evil, and practiced good, and rca ized the good effects. Ills brethren knew good and evil, loved and practiced evil, and suff red its conse quences. And as a basis of this reason ing I refer you to Gen vi, I—9, inclu ti j vc; and 1 insist that there was no one original sin, but that every sin, is an orminal sin, a substantive crime, and in justice must be, and can only bo expia t<d by Him who commits it. This line of argument will bo contin ued. A Little Story on Grant. —The Roan okr (Virginia) Times publishes tho fol lowing: A good story is told by one of the Methodist ministers now in this place attending conference. Wo do not ri col lect of ever seeing it in print, and we think it ia too good to be b st. It is as follows: During the war a “Confed,” was cap tured by the Yankees and happened to be taken to General Grant’s headquar ters. After being questioned by the General, the old “Confed.” asked him where lie was going. “I am going,” says Grant, “to Rich- j mond, to Petersburg, to Heaven, and, it may be, 1 will go !o Hell.” After eyeing tbe general for several j moments, the old “Confed ” said: “General Grant, you can’t go to Rich mond, for General Lee is there;you can't go to Petersburg, for General Beatire gard is there; you can’t go to Heaven, for Stonewall Jackson is there, but as to going to Hell, you may get there, for I know of no Confederates in that region.” They say snakes will be careful Imw they bite Georgia editors any more. The last one to try it was a beautiful inocea- I sin, in tbe central part of tbe State. It I saw its chance, crawled up to the editor of the Milledgeville Radi, and bit him |on the knee. The great man passed on j without noticing it, but tbe snake ex ! pired in great agony a few moments uf j ter. The editor of tho Ranh had just : taken a prescription labelled “new de j purlure,” and the poor snake didn’i know it. —New York Commercial Adverti CREED.

EQUALITY. An old Scotch minister on being ask ed to preach u sermon in favor of equal ity, at a time ’of great excitement on tl at subject, said at the close of a ser mon, in substance as follows: Von asked me top'each a sermon on equality. Since that time I have ranged in vision through tlio vegetable world; 1 saw flowers of equal lustre and per fume, trees of unequal height and value, but there is no equality there. I passed to the animal kingdom, and ■saw the trained horses and tlio fierce beasts of prey, the linnet and the.hawk, the sparrow and the eagle, the sheep and the horse, each occupying a relative sphere. In the sea were tho mollusc and the whale, the dolphin and the shark, the timid and the fierce, each properly or j gani/.'.'d and doing its proper labor, bui I saw no equality. Lastly, I entered the gate of Heaven, and on a great throne sat the Judge ol tbe Universe; eheitihin and seraphim, foil 1 eforc I im, angels of lesser degree eid his bidding. I found seven heavens rising above each oilier, but no equality Pure 1 gu/.ed on the stars, arid found “one star different from another star in glory;” but there was no equality. So you nee that there is no equality in ail God's vast kingdom. A Bkait'H'T'i, Tiuiutk to Virginia. —ln afpoich made last week at L-nir.vilk*, Ky , the Hon, D. \Y.

To be durable, whitewash should L>o pre pared in the following manner: Take the very best stone lime, and slake it in a close tub, covered with a cloth to pre serve tho steam. Salt, as much ns can be disolved in the water used for slack ing and reducing the lime, should be ap plied, an i the whole mass carefully strained and thickened with a small quantity of sand, the purer and finer tho better. A few pounds ol wheat flour mix ed as paste may be added, and will give greater durability to the mass, especial - ly when applied to the exterior surface of buildings. With pure lime, properly slaked and mixed with twice its weight of tine sand and sifted wood ashes, in equal proportions, almost any color may be made by tbe addition of pigments.— granite, slate, freestone and other shades may be imitated, and without any detri ment to the durability of the washr This covering is very often applied and with good effect, to underpining stone fences, tools, and the walls of barns and other out-buildings. Probably tho pure white wash is more healthy than tho colored, as its alkalescent properties are superi or, and when used iu cellars, kitchens and sleeping departments, produces sa! utury results. No person who regards the health of his family, should neglect to apply a coat of it every spring. Country places, especially farm out-houses, fences, etc., are greatly improved in appearance by an annual coat of good whitewash, and will add to their permanency much more than many would imagine. It is cheap and easily applied, so that neither ex pense nor labor con tic pleaded against i t.— Germantown Telegraph. SLEEP, FAINTING, APOPLEXY. When a man is asleep, his pulse beats and his lungs play, but ho is without sense, and you can wake him up. If a person faints, lie, too, is without sense, but he has no pulse and does not breathe. Apoplexy is between the two; the heatt beats, the longs play as in sleep, anil there is no sense as in fainting, but you cannot shake the mari back to life. In sleep, the face is natural; in a faint ing fit, it has Ihe pallor of death; in apo plexy, it is swollen, turgid, and fairly livid. 11 a man is asleep let him alone; na ture will wake him up as soon us he has got sleep enough. When a person faints, all that is need ed is to lay him fiat on the floor and he will 'come to’ in double quick time. IL fainted because the heart missed a beat, failed for an instant, failed for only once to send the amount of blood to the brain- If you place the patient in a horrizontal position, lay him on his back.it docs not require much force of tbe heart to send blood on a level to the head; but you set a man up, the blood has to bo shot up ward to tho head, and this requires much more force; yet in nine cases out of ten. if a [ii'iTon faints and fall to the fl >or, tho first done lo him is to run to him and set him in a chair. In apoplexy, as there is too much blood in tbe bead, everyone can see that the best position is to set a man up, and the blond naturally tends downward, as much so as water will come out of a bottle wlii n turned upside down, if the cork is out. A SINULAII CASE. The following story showing tho sa gacity <J a dog, was related by the late Rev Scott, I). I)., the first pastor of the Mill Creek, Beaver county Presbyterian church. Long ago when people crossed the mountains on foot or on horSo back, Rev Scott was coming to the then far west to preach. One day whilst in the mountains, he noticed a large dog trot ling along by tho side of his horse.— Supposing the dog lost, Ire requested the landlord where hc.stoppcd next night to c. idine Idm in the morning until be would be sonic miles ahead, hoping that he would go back to his owner. Bill before noon the dog overtook him, and continued to trot along by Lis side until a very suspicious lo iking customer made his appearance in front of the traveler, when the dog at once attacked the high wayman and so alarmed him that he : protested lie meant no harm. Mr. S. continued his journey, mentally determ ining that lie would never part with his defender. After trudging along awhile, thanking Providence for lis escape, lie looked for Ids deg, but found that he had disappeared, and ho never saw him a -rain . The good man always regarded tho appearance and action of tiie dog as a protecting act of heaven.— Washington Review 1 . | Chignons are Doomed! —At a certain j fashionable wedding tire other day, it \ \ was noticed that some of the belles came j j “in their own hair,” done up ill a braid j , behind tbe cars, or twined gracefully a- j ! louml the head.
