In the "Georgia Advertiser” some re marks have been copied trims tlie Hash- ington Fity Republican, containing a rude denial Uf some I'act* nlledged by me in relation to the Secretary at War:—ami as the latter ficlongs to the War Office, it is judged expedient tu say something in return. The Editor of it has usually been men tioned to us a* a person carrying with him very much of the habits of « courtier— smooth, oily and bland : but it is now to be presumed that his manners were fash ioned slier those of the wigwams of the Indian Chiefs over whom he wat super intendent, or that they ape the gait of Itis Long 'Cane Patron.—This gentleman from the nature of his office must have possessed some actual information On the subject; and I am surprised that under the circumstances, he should have found it necessary to refer to any-one nn that t.oad, as his phraseology .would seem to imply.

Di4 volt. Dr. Kollock, wax a man of no ordina ry stamp; and, as might have been ex pected, ihe productions of his pen ir* aucli aa tn do justice to the anticipation* which his efiurta in the pulpit generally excitad- After til that we iiave seen and heard.of other men, we are compelled to admit that there was a charm in his eloquence which we have never found in equal force in any other individual. We du not speak -from personal attachment, for our acquaintance, with his private life was small; nor yet from sectarian partialities, for we are of a different denomination; but from the impressions which hi* public efforts made upon our mind, and from tho sense of that justice which superior eminence ia a divine art clearly demands. It ia so seldom that we see a great mind exerted upon objects of proportionate magnitude that we cannot withhold the testimony rif oar admiration from those cases in whitAj talent has received n new splendour from the glory of those themes with whir It it has been .couveraant. It is not meet that those who Have applied their great powers to tlie cause of virtue and religion, who have counted the humility of the Cross their highest honor, whom “ Ardens evexit ad xthera virtu*,” should sink into nn esrlv oblivion ami cease to influence the desti nies of the living, Dr. Kollock was remarkable for his pul pit performances. Nature had dealt to him no sparing measure of her most atk tractive gilts, and in bis hands her bounty was not abused, nnr perverted. His di ligence made every endowment sobser. vient to ihe great purpose of bis being. Ilia fine manly (urm, on which were im pressed the characteristics of benignity and candour ; Itis clear masculine voice, which filled every ear with instruction and delight, and the vivid expressions of an amiable countenance, were all brought into-the service nf his Saviour, and made sacred by Christian charity. It was impossible for infidelity itself to listen to such an advocate without feeling some good will to the cause which he re commended. Fur in those affecting appealn which he often made to his hearers, and which were seconded by nil the advan- tages of a winning exterior, he seemed to be fired by a holy ardour, with a good portion of which he inspired them, bearing them along with him to heights whence could be descried the brightness of a hap pier world, and whence could be heard "melody born among the stars.” For the confirmation of this we have only to ap peal to numberless living witnesses whose testimony must secure us from the charge ot exaggerated representation, and who giving an impartial evidence, mast allow correctness nf what we here affirm. Though the SermoRs which he deliver ed had, in general, been written out be fore hand, yet such was the power of his memory, that he needed very little aid from his notes, and in the delivery of his discourses, he had all (he pathos and ener gy of extemporaneous speakers, with much more correctness than ia common with such. .His diction-was generally chaste and simple, and whilst it rejected all unnatural efforts to surprize and gra tify a classical ear, was yet at times en riched with the'fine8tallustons. The writer of Hie biographical sketch prefixed tuhia Sermons, informs us that in his earlier preparations, he had made great use nf tlie French preachers, and had considered them deserving of imita tion. In one respect, we believe that he might have admired the compositions of their more eminent Divines, He approv ed the noble disinterestedness of persua sion und eloquence, which shine in their imblic addresses. But Itis theology came irom a different school. He had thorough ly studied the works of Edwards and Fuller, the latter of whom he held in the highest possible estimation. We can never forget tlie terms of earnest appro bation with which he first mentioned to us the’name nf Andrew Fuller, whose writ ings he regarded as the commencement of an era in theology. “ Fuller'” baid he "'is the most perfect master of his subject of any writer on religion that I ever raid. He nses no word without meaning arid he-never suffers his meaning to lie, hid. Though perfectly original in his matter, he is neverobscure in expression.” Dr. Kollock is distinguished for an ele vated and fervid glow of piety in all his Serwiona und discourses. He brings home his subject with great efftet to his au dience, and makes them a party concern ed in every sacred transaction which he represents. Instead nf holding them at a distance by cold didactic dissertations, he brings them near his person, makes them intimately acquainted with his pri vate thuughts, lay* open tu them the soli citude of a besrt which seeks’ their salva tion, and stands clear in the correctness and confidence of Christian integrity and candour. < It is stated by JEIian that a Scythian King, once observing a naked sentinel keeping guard during the foil of a severe snow, enquired of him if lie were nut cold, upon winonihe -ildier asked the king if his face were coin, irfd the king scying nn—neither nm i cultl, said the hardy watchman, because I am ail (ace. Such i* the the genuine Christian sentinel, who -lands forth to watch for others, as one 'hat must give an account. He learns to endure hardness a* a grind soldier of Je sus Christ. To him all seasons are olikr. ■iid ail events ihe same. With the firm ness of a true cou-age, he braves "tho mildest indiffjrence nf tlie world, and the inttest rage of persecution. His visage tlways remains die same, for it is set on •leaven, and thither would direct the stispsw. f every observer. The earnest spiritual ity which pervades all the discourses u!
