“Blessed be the God and Fafh<*r of the Lord Je
?ns U’.trist,-which according to His abundant mercy
bath begotten ns again unto a lively hope, by
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to
an inheritance incorruptible, and tin deli ed and
that fadetlTnot away reserved in heaven for yon.”
Tltis ep'stle was written to the t. bes who
were so »tt.avd abroad thr > t -Ji P« ttus Cajip.i
docift, etc. Rhetorically, the pus-iage under re"
view cannot b - ex -etled for its fie.isli and
•beauty. But its attractiveness to the Christian,
rests upon other and - more important grounds.
It is replete with those precious and comforting
promises which form the burden of the Chris
tians aspi> atoms in his probationary state.
Hope is the main spring of life. It animates
the labors of til; farm , inspires the efforts of
.the urbfesß.onal m m. and is essential tersucc-t-ss
in every enterprise.
If this be true of eartnly things, how much
moie forcibly do sit apply fa those which are
of heavenly and e'erual origin.
The earthly is like the iguus fatuus, false and
deceptive, and ends iu disappointment, clouds
and darkness
Not. so with the spiritual. It is called a bless
ed. a happy hope ; a hope w licit is as an "an
chor to the soul, both sure and steadfast,” and
winch enti reth wjthui the vail. Peter cal.s it a
lively hope, a living, abiding, and ever, active
ggjuciple.
But to esteem this hope aright, we must con
sider its origin. The text descriliee Ibis Ip be
in the abend nt mercy ot God in the sift of H s
only Son to a fallen world.
This nope turns aside the sword of violated
justice, and *3 our only refnge in a condemutd

The prophets fotv.'di dowed its .-xistencc. and
it was typified in the sacrifices of the Jewish
altar. But not until the ba’rtfl of the Saviour at
Bethlehem, when the morning e'a''S sang togeth
er. was the glad tidings openly proejaUßed to the
world. . '-s
In the terrible tragedy of Calvary it,
waned in the hearts of t lie disciples, many Ol j
whom fled panic stricken in that hour of hor
ror and alarm. They had regarded their Lord
as the Messiah who would bring temporal salva
tion to fbeir enslaved*race. But when his sun
went down in blood and the rocks were rent,
and an earthquake shook the laud, their hearts
died within them, and they even loiwook their
Lord.
But thank God. that awful momeat of doubt,
and gloom was not to last. The entombed rel
ics of their Master burst *he cerements of the
grave, and arose disenlhralled from their earthly
habitation, to ascend to His in dintorial mission
in the coprts on high.
2d, Wucotne now to the next .-round of out
hope, which is the Resurrection *:•> above descrTb
ed. This was accomplished with transcendent
power and glory, and is the true foundation of
the Christian’s faith and joy.
All had seen his tragical end and witnessed the
burial rites which had ensued. He h» i expe
rienced the fate of frail mortality, and fit His
grave lay buried all their cherished hopes and
anticipations.
Soon however, He vro»e triumphant from (bi
coid embrace of death, and clearly evinced liis
immaculate divinity.
His awe stricken disciples, to verity their vis
ion, were even permitted to feel the points ol'the
nails and thrust their bauds into the deep spear
wound m the side «f their -gr scions Lord. The.
suit'erings, death, resurrection and atonement of
the Saviour, ransomed a lost world, and establish,
•-il the everlasting foundations of our holy faith-
The object and end of the Christian’s hop -, was
the third and last division ot the »p >i* *r's them*-.
We cannot follow him in his beautiful illus
trations. bill must lie content, with a mere alia,
sion to some of them.
Heaven, is the aim of the Christian, and that
ineffable peace, which flows like a liver, and
passes human understanding.
No system of id hies or morality can compass
this glorious ead. It s he positive inker Unco
o; th renei m and oamt. By Adam we were the
children of wrath, bu, through Christ we became
the children and heirs ol God.

At the conclusion of the discourse, the retiring

Washington, December 14.
The following is what the Commis
| sioner .T Agriculture says in his annn
| al report, just out, under the bead of
I ‘Southern Agriculture
‘Tije cohtinuoHs high price of cotton
has made its culture more profitable
than at former period, and the crop
of 1868 has yielded a larger amount of
na.ney than that of 1859. The yeld of
the past year exceeded very slightly
the istnn.ite.of this Department, winch
was 2,380,000 bates. The,present sea
son has witnessed great activity in this
culture, and increase of area cultiva
ted, and more general and generous
fertilization, and lias also been charac
terized by drought in the seaboard
Elates, atul other causes of diminished
production, which have modified the
expectations of planters • yet the crop
will exceed that of last year, and may
.reach 2,709,000 bales.
‘I l'cgret to ob.-etve. from official eor
resporulence and during a brief tour
through the cotton Slates, the fen left
cy tt) negh-ei other crops and con
centrate alf available labor and capital
upon a single product, however ptofit
able. The inevitable tesuh will b
more cotu-n and smaller net returns in
money after the purchase of needed
supplies, and, as a further result, a slow
er imjhovteuK'nt of neglected lands.-
This bane of Southern agriculture is
etiil operative, and may oease to exist
only when' low prices, disaster and de
spondency snail again arrest the impo
-htie and irrational course of production,
-i wo id or not advise an attempt to keep
up prices by limiting the yitdd ; a some
what larger supply of the staple is
m-eded in the markets of the world ;
tiie present rates cannot be sustained
indefinitely • but 1 would not foster the
suicidal mama lor cheapening the
ey prirtfucutg crop while fen lering
dearer every other that must t e purchas
ed as an auxiliary of its production.
‘it is gratifying, however, to note the
increase of cotton manufactures in the
cotton region, their flourishing condition,
their large dividends, and the quality
of their yarns and fabrics. Operatives
are easily obtained at reasonable wages,
becoming readily inured to habits -of
systematic industry, and rapidly acquir
ing the requisite skill. At the com
mencement of tfte present year there
were eighty-six cotton mills reported
from Southern States to the National
Association ot Gotten Manufacturers
and Planters, running 225,063 spindles,
consuming 31,415,750 pounds. The

The mo-t important and astounding
‘bill ever introdued in o Cong: ess, is
that by Senator Ttnmbuil, which takes
from the Supreme Guurt all power to
decide political questions. The fi st
.section declares
That under the Constitution the judi
cial power of the United States does
not embrace political power or give to
the judicial tribunals any authority to
quest on the decision of the political de
partments of the Government on polit
ical questions, and it is hereby declared
that ail courts of*the United States in
the administration of justice shall be
bound by the decision of the political
departments of the Government on po
litical questions.
This doctriue places the entire politi
cal control and power of the govern
ment in the respective departments, and
would subject the country to the mean
est and most contemptible despotism in
the world It seeks to goVern the peo
ple through the agency of bureaus, a
form ol tyranny that is even going out
of iashioti in the old world. No better
way‘to make slaves of a free people
could be invented. Such doctrine is a
sharke to th.;.country, in this enlighten
i and age, and the Senator who gets up in
h;s place in the United States Senate
aud announces and advocates it, ought
to be politically disgraced forever. The
second section of this infamous bill, af
ter declaring -'that it rests with Congress
to decide what is the established government
in a Slate, provides that no judicial tri
bunal is competent to question the acts
.“.reconstructing” Georgia and Texas,
and prohibits the Supreme Uuiirt from
entertaining jurisdiction of any case
growing out of the execution of sa/m
acts. It. prohibits the Suprerc 0 Gourt
from issuing any writ of error, habeas
corpus or any proceeding to bring be
fore -,i any ease, civil or ir.minal arising
out of said . ct-, < t.‘.
A mure extraordinary bill has never
been introduced into Congress, and we
hope it w ill meet tl e fate it deserves. —
Russia nor Austria do no more than
make flic jurisdiction of C itirls subject
to the political-decisions of government
department, but such tyranny is not
known in Franco and Fngland. We
hope our readers will give this new
move on the chess board of despotism
the consideration its importance de
mands. It is only Dart, of the general
programme iflteady laid down by the
leading Radicals to rub our people of
their .republican government and to re
duce them to a state of despotism un
der the control of bureaus and depart
ments. . ; *

Rheumatics, Listen and Learn.—Prof, lvay
ton, the popular and celebrated manufacturer
oi" Kay ton's Oil of Life, the best and surest lin
iment for rheumatism known, has now discon
tinued his travels throughout the States to see
the lame and the ciipple, aud those otherwise
aflioted by rheumatism, or neuralgia, or pains
iu the side. &«., for he argues, and well too,
tliar, the people can cure themselves without
him by using his Oil of Life; the virtues of
which are unviersully acknowledged Some
people were foolish enough to think from the
swift and speedy cures made on the spot, be
fore their eyes or their friends, that the Pro
fessor’s hands were bewitched, but we assure
all that the sterling virtue lies only in the Oil
of Life and stood robbing. For rheumatism,
neura:gia,*pnins in the back, joints or sides, or
wherever a liniment can be used that Kayton’s
Oil of Life is acknowledged as great and with
out an equal, giving the patient- almost instan
taneous relief by one rubbing. For sprains or
bruises, it has also been used witn marked suc
cess.
