Prayer for the Dead.
To the Editor—Dear Sir: —I desire to address
a ten- observations on tho Jewish doctrine of Prayer
fori he Dead.' I need hardly say, it would be impos
sible in a short letter, such as this, to enumerate all
the Jewish customs on tins subject: your readers
must, therefore, bo satisfied with a mere outline for
tho present. I shall have to be excused in a few de
ductions that I fuel it necessary to make. The aocio-
tioe, in various countries, particularly England, for
what they call tho promotion of Christianity among
tho Jews, to Rid which, thousands upon thousands of
dollars are annually wasted, as no Jew with sincerity
would embrace any religion that would dare deny the
sublime and beautiful prayers for the dead, in which
every Jew is obligedto submit to the synagogue's dic
tation of praying for the dead, the solemn duty, of
which, even at the present day, is held with great
veneration amongst the Jewish people. The tradi
tions, fasts and abstinence, Ac., are also still care*
fully attended to Every syatem of religion includes
doctrines and precepts. In addition to the many
other services rendered to his nation, Maimonides
lias furnished them with a summary of the doc
trines of Judaism, in thirteen articles, which ho
calls foundations or roots of tho faith, and which
every Jew it required to beliovo. Tho seventh of
these articles la as follows :
"I believe with a perfect faith, that the prophecies
of Moses, onr Master, (may he rest in Mao*,) are
true, Ac. viti. I believe with a perfect faith, that the
wliolu law which weTiavo in our hands at this day,
WM dclirc. , it he Uao** *»r «... (aaay 1.. we at in
peace.) The cilice entitled vThe Memorial of De
J parted Souls," bays: M It U customary to make
mention of the souls of departed parents and others,
cn the day of atonement and the ultimate days of
the three festivals, which a e called Passover, Pen-
ticoat and Taberftacle," and to offer for the repose
of their souls, as follows: May God remember the
soul of my honored father ( A. li., who is gone to bis
repose; for they who solemnly offer charity for his
sake.in reward of this, may his soul enjoy eternal lifo
with the souls of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; Sarah,
Rmchet and Leah,*>&o.; and again : •• May-God re
member the soul of my honored mother, C. D. ( who
is gone, &o/’ -MsyCroortanember the souls of my
I father and mother, my grand father and grandmother,
[ my uncles and aunts, my brothers and sisters, wheth
er fraternal or maternal, who nro gone, Ac." Pray-
jers for the feast of the Pentecost, p. 181. Jews un
derstand these prayers to be called Modesh. The
Jews also, after the decease of a friend, sit on stools
I seven days, Ac., close their stores, do no business,
during which time their friends and qthfcrs call on
them, from whom they receive condolence', Ac.—
Now let us see farther : Rabbi Menasseh-Ren Israel,
says: “If a soul is polluted with An evil faith and
with abominable works, and is not washed with the
nitre of God’s.commandments, then ho remains with
out repentance, defiled; and her sins are stains from
which she isyiot to be cleansed but in hell." I
Imust here mention the Rabbi’s declare a purgatori-
[al prorMS Tiw*»Msry io many cases Now tlio ques
tion naturally arises,, should Christians believe in
prayers for the dead 1
In the Protestant version cf the Bible, we find in
Maccabees xu : 44, 45, prayers for the dead, and 2
would only say, if this book wero of no use, why
have it in the word of God at all? Wo find the
worthy Dr. Johnson prayed for Es mother, though
of the Protestant persuasion. Now let the Protest
ant societies for the conversion of tho Jews tell the
Israelites it la only folly to believe such a doctrine
as a third place or prayers for the dead. The intel
ligent and honest J ew would laugh at the absurdity;
for even the enlightened Israelite, who would not
be inclined to barter bis soul for dollars and cents,
would, for argument sako, refer to tbe dispensation
to prove his position df holding fast that glorious
doctrine. We find in 1st Corinthians, iii, 13, Ac., in
Protestant version, the particulars of a third, and[
even of a fire to be found in it, and I coaid introduce
seventeen holy lathers of tbe Christian-church, with
the great Augustine, who all agree on the passage
referred to. When the author of Christianity con
demned. Ac., why did he not point his .indignant
censure against this practice, and condemn this por
tion of Che public worship of the Jews, as supersti
tious and unjustifiable? And ofa third place we have
agaiifr 1st Peter, Protestant version. But, alas! fori
Protestantism and its societies for the conversion of
the Jews, how innumerable are the proofs that could
be brought forward, even from their own authorities,!
in behalf of this consoling doctrine of .prayers for
the dead. We further find the prayer, which is|
used in tho Canon of the Moss, was adopted in the
first edition of the book of Common Prayer, with
some slight modification, thus: * We commend unto
thy mercy, O Lord, all thy servants which are de
parted home from us with tbe sign of faith, and do
rest in the sleep of peace. Grant unto them, we be-
I seech thee, thy mercy and everlasting peace, and
that at tho day of cenersl.-raanrxection we. and all
they,which be of the mystical body of thy bon, may
altogether, be set on his right hand."—Prayers for
|tho dead, Church of England Prayer Book. The
word* which follow “peace" aro easily discoverble
iissal. Some
as an addition to the prayer of tho
appear not altogether opposed to this practice, but
yet do not advocate its revival. Yet they know it
to come down from the earliest and purest period of
antiquity. Now what will the Jews again say to
the Protestant, having these proofs against him,
though but few out of many thousands I could in
troduce of both Rabbinical and Christian authorities
in behalf of prayers for the dead. How presumptu
ous is it for those who condemn prayers lor the dead
to exdect with confidence tho moment of their dis
solution to appear before a merciful but essentially
just judge, white as tha snows of heaven and pure
as the angels or God. I wish any man who may pos
sess it, joy of snch.confidence. Most assaredly it is
not mine; Yonr ob’t servant,

Arrcatoutlio Charge of Mlcnling Free IVe*
GKOES. *
A man by the name of Andrew J. Rodgers,
said to hail from Helena, in Arkansas, was ar
rested in this city yesterday afternoon; as he
was in the act of leaving the city on the Geor
gia railroad train.. The arrest was made by Mr.
Wm. King, one of our city police.
It appears that, some time since, Rodgers in
duced a free woman to leave Macon, in his
charge, under the plea that he desired her to
travel with his (Rodgers’) wife, through thefree
sas and sold or mortgaged her. He then re
turned to this State, and took away another
free person from Savannah, and it is probable
he made a similar disposition of that one. His
present trip Jo Georgia was doubtless for tho
same purpose, as he was in the act ot carrying
o(Ta negro woman from this city owned by one
of our citizens, when lie was arrested by Mr.
King.
Mr. George I-awrcnce, one of the Deputy
Marshals of Macon, was in our city on the look
out for Rodgers, and gave information about his
movements. He was at tho Waynesboro’ depot
in tho act of leaving for Macon, when Mr. King
carried Rodgers to him, and gave him into his
charge to be conveyed to Macon.
Andrew J. Rodgers is a slim made man,
with sandy hair, wears a red goatee, is quick
spoken, and is about thirty-fivc years of age.
The above statement is communicated to us
by Mr. King.—Augusta Constitutionalist.
Mr. Lawrence, Deputy .Marshal, and Mr.
Ilarman reached hereon Thursday night, bav
in- Rodgers with them. "Wo understand lie
made a full confession before lie was put in
jail The negro woman lie carried from here
is the wife of a free mulatto who waits upon
passengers at the depot. She is yet ut Arkan-

The Pennsylvania Oil Wells.
Recent events have roughened our political
sea, but oil seems about to be poured on the
watcis. The valuable discovery so lately
brought to practicable account within the bor
ders of that wonderfully rich mineral State, fit
the accounts are not overstated, will prove one
of the most Important additions to our coun
try’s wealth.
Tlie counties of Crawford and Venango, in
the Valley oif the Oil Creek River, arc the for
tunate possessors of the Rock Oil ells.: The
country "has been known to have this property
for a great number of years, and attempts were
formerly made to collect it from the river, but
owing to the inferior apparatus used, it was but
a poor-investment for time or money.
The oil, which bears an exact resemblance
to Petroleum, is a dark bituminous substance,
and from its close connection with the -coal
strata, wo may conclude that it is an exudation
of what we know as the “soft coal.” It is the
same as that called in the West, “Seneca ” or
Genesee oil Europe and Asia also produce it,
the latter country being its great fuuntain head.
A half million of hogsheads are said to be ta
ken yearly from the Petroleum Wells of Birmah,
which wells are peculiar for tho fossil bones
and petrified wood found in their neighborhood.
Report has stated that the yield of the largest
Pennsylvanian Oil Wells has reached as high
as eight to twelve hundred gallons per day.
These facts, and the revelations which will
probably continue reaching us, from the Rock
Oil Wells, should force us to think more of the
vast unused resources of our own beloved
Georgia, and how we may reclaim her unlimi
ted buried wealth. Twenty years ago, the fine
porcelain clay oi -this State was known to a few
citizens of Macon—have the layers, in which
nature formed it, been yet broken ? Of our
other mines, wtt know their enormous capacity,
only awaiting proper mining applications^
Still there is another lesson taught us" here—
to bow in humbler acknowledgement of tliat
Divine O’er-rulcr who shapes all things to the
wants of man. The felled forrests unlock the
door of cortH'a grout storehouse—-the sperm
whale is passing from tho deep, blit tjie earth
brings forth her fatness. • * Z.

Savannah Mlcnmship, It. IS. Cayler.
This now experimental propeller met with a
stormy greoting from Old Ocean. When, fivo
miles beyond Sandy Hook, on her trial trip, her
main journals were found to be too much heat
ed to work, and a regular blow came on which
frightened all her guests badly. A signal was
made for stcamtugs, two of- which came, and
with some mishaps and trouble succeeded in
towing her into the Southwest spit channel,
where she caine to anchor and rode out a stormy
night—“all wishing for day.” Seven o’clock
in the morning, steam was got up and she
reached her dock again at eleven. The Herald
says:—
Tho Cuyler is intended ior the Savannah
route. She is 244 feet in length, 55 feet beam,
and 24 feet depth of hold. The cabins arc fit
ted up in the most costly manner, and will ac
commodate about two hundred first class pas
sengers and one hundred and fifty in the stcer-
ge. She was built with a view of obtaining
reat speed, which will, in all probability, be
attained as soon as her machinery gets in
working order.
Good Movement in New Verb.
A memorial was introduced into thc Senato
of New York, last Thursday, of which the sub
joined is a copy:
To the Legislature of the State of Feta Torhg
The undersigned, citizens of New York city, resnect-
fnlly represent to yonr honorable body, that, whereas an
act formerly existed in this State which allowed our
brethren of thc so called slave Sates to Tisit ns, wheth
er upon business or pleasure, accompanied Kith their
negro servants, or so called slaves, and remain with us
for the period of nine months; and where:.* tbe repeal
of said law is believed by yonr memorialists to be con
trary to the dictates of <—' ’ — ‘' " " ’
that it also, in effect, pr„. u
lies of thc South from visiting 1
tives in thc North; and as no good reason, in the opin
ion of your memorialists, exists why this law should ev
er have been repealed, they therefore respectfully ask of
r honorable body tho passage of a law which shall
guarantee to Southern men thc right to stay in this
State, unmolested, with their “ slaves,” for a period of
at least nine months.
This memorial was sigr.cd by some fifteen
hundred leading firms of New York city—but,
we venture to say, it will bo like spitting
against the wind. As reasonable as is tho de
mand—as indispensable, in point of fact, as it
is to that comity which should be maintained,
even between two foreign nations on friendly
terms—we venture to say the rural districts,
will howl it down in a frenzy of abolition rage.

fidelity. The great success which has crowned
his Life of Burr in the way of sales, is indubita
ble testimony to his ability to produce <t reada
