MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 1324.
The Catholick Miscellany still keeps open his
battery, and seems to proceed upon the principle
that he is not bound to keep faith with hereticks
We would let him ‘‘glean the blunted shafts that
have recoiled,” and wield them with all the force
he can against us, if he w uld meet us upon fair Sc
open ground. He accused us of garbling, which
we abundantly proved to be without the lea-t
shadow of foundation, and of suggesting a false
hood when we said that his Church claimed infal
libility. Now he must needs tell us that “we
charge him again with inserting words which we
did not write,” because forsooth we introduced
“ Roman Catholick” between crotchets in the
following sentence : “ We doubt not but [Roman
Catholick] writers might be found who did go so
far as to assert that the Pope had this power over
property and kingdoms —we will even suppose
the books received the usual testimonial, what
follows?” We will give the remaining part of the
sentence, and if he is not convicted by it of quib
bling, we will forfeit all claims to common sense
“ What follow? Therefore it is a doctrine of the
Catholick Church ? By no means, but it follows
it is not a heresy; hut yet it may be a false
hood, it may be an absurdity. And in fact it is
an absurdity, and is not a Catholick doctrine.
One of the misfortunes to which we ure perpetu
ally exposed is that we are assailed by person
‘ignorant of our tenets,’ unacquainted with our
customs and institutions, and who with peculiar
self-sufficiency tell us that because they have our
books, and have critically read them, they know
our doctrines better than we do.” What books
does he mean ? Os what writers is he speaking,
think you? Not Roman Catholick writers, cer
tainly ! O, Shame, where is thy blush! The whole
paragraph points to Homan Catholick writers
and no others.
The real state of the case was this: The learn
ed Miscellany would bestow upon us the full merit
of the invention, unless we informed him front
what book or paper we discovered it to have been
one of the dogmas of their Church. “ that the
Pope possesses temporal power over all the goods
apd possessions of all Christians, even to the
transferring kingdoms from one to another.” As
for his part, he had ntoe.r met with an individual
who held the doctrine. He had rlever seen it in
any doctrinal book. And yet he could so far for
get himself as to say that there is no doubt but
writers may be found who did go so far as to as
sert that the Pope had this power over property and
kingdoms. If he has no doubt upon the subject,
why call upon us for the proof of that which he
does not question ? Now who does he mean, if not
Homan Catholick writers? Protestants would
have written no such thing; nor Jews, nor Mus
sulmans, nor Heathens. Who then but Roman
Catholioks would make the assertion ?
We have thus given another specimen of the
Miscellany’s quibbling. If this be the measure of
justice which he deals to others, what ought he
not to receive in return ! He can deny just w 1 at
he pleases, as Catholick doctrine, by drawing a
line of distinction between faith and opinion.
Thus one Roman-Catholick writer may advance
an opinion, may support it, may act upon it, and
another may tell u“. who read his books, that it
js not an at tide of faith , and unblushing!) accuse
us of littering falsehoods when we make quota
tions from their own authorities. It is far from
being our wish to fasten these doctrines upon them
unless they are actually believed. We are glad
to hear C itbolicks ear!) in the 19th century , dis
avowing those odious opinions with which they
have been charged, and those odious
which ltd to the reformation ; and should be
pleased to learn that more and still more of their
opinions and practices were in conformity with
the simplicity of the Gospel of Christ.
Extract of a Utter from a Presbyterian Clergyman
of this State to one of the Editors of this paper,
dated “ Sr. Augustine, E. F. July 20, 1824.
My dear Brother—l know not whether you
may have heard of my journey to St. Augustine,
or the object of my going to that remote region.
Be assured no trifling object—no pecuniary con
sideration could have influenced nie to come hith
er at this inclement season of the year.
I believe niy Master called me hither, and I re
joice that 1 was obedient to bis call ; for I (rust
he has been with me, and blessed my feeble efforts
among this people. I have been here more than
nine weeks. Every Sabbath 1 have preached
twice in the day and attended prayer meeting by
candlelight. We have two prayer meetings in
which the Methodists and we harmoniously unite
every week. Indeed almost every evening is a
meeting for pra i r, either publick or private. The
result, by God’s blessing, has been, that a Pres
byterian church has been organized and consti
tuted here. After many meetings of those who
wished to form a church, for meditation, consul
tation and prayer, 1 framed a constitution, and
form of government conformable to our plan of
discipline, which was approved by eleven persons,
four males and Beven females,who were ptopound
ed, after particular examination—then made a
publick profession of their faith, &c. and were re
ceived into membership. Deacons were then
chosen and publickly ordained. And on the 20th
of June, 1824, the Ist Presbyterian church was
constituted, and the Holy Supper administered.
A day which 1 trust will long be held in grateful
remembrance by r many of the inhabitants of St.
Augustine. The scene was solemn. The as
sembly was said to be the largest ever convened
here for religious purposes—composed of almost
every sect of Christians —some Jews, and very
many belonging to no religious denomination at
all. We ulso had persons of every complexion
white, red and black. A large body of the mili.
tary stationed here, marched in order, aud wor
shipped with us. Twelve persons (one more
having been received) original members of this
infant church, together wiih many of our Metho
dist and Episcopal brethren, and one Baptist sis
ter, aat down together as children ofthe same
ypmiuon bather, aud redeemed by the same Sav-
‘Tour, and cordially partook of the bread of life,and
drank ol the cup of salvation. Was not this a
blessed sight, my brother ? Do you not wish you
had been with us ? I assure you, 1 thought of you
and a few others on this occasion. Assuredly the
Master was with us. Ido not think I ever before
experienced more of the Divine presence, and I
am happy to find that harmony seems to prevail,
and although our meetings are very frequent, they
are well attended. On Sunday last I am told all
the billiard and gambling rooms were shut, and
no pnblick balls were held. Some say poverty
was the cause of this ; others attribute it to a bet
ter, which I trust is the true cause.
I mus* say that 1 never saw better order any
where than here on the 4th of July. And the re
ligious exercises observed on the Sabbath appear
to have been blessed to the people ; for the festi
vities of the following day were conducted with
great order and decorum. I was r* quested to at
tend and to open a publick meeting of citizens
and soldiers with prayer—after which the Decla
ration of Independence was read by an officer,and
an elegant oration afterwards delivered by anoth
er officer, both of whom acquitted themselves
handsomely.
I have been about leaving this for three weeks
past, but really cannot get away. Yesterday a
i atholick applied to me for a Spanish Bible, hut
1 had none. I yesterday gave an English Bible to
a soldier,which be thankfully received. I last Sab
bath propounded a converted Catholick, who
wishes to have three children baptized. These
matters cannot be trifled with. 1 forgot to tell
ou that the Monthly Concert of Prayer was be
gan here on the first of Monday of last month,and
well attended then and on the Ist of this month.”

#7ilEThis morning, between 3and 4 o’cl’k,
we were alarmed by the cry of fire; when it was
discovered that Mr. Duggar’s barn and stables
were almost an entire sheet of flume. Providen-
Ually at the time, it being very calm, the spirited
exertions ot the citizens were such as to prevent
its extending. It was however with the greatest
difficulty that Mi. Duggar’s buildings as well as
Ir. Callier’s were saved,as the cinders during the
time, fell in show.ers on the roofs. It is not known
how the tire was communicated.

The extra session of the Legislature of New
York closed on the Gtli instant, having continued
lint 5 days. No change in the inode of choosing
Electors of President was made, and they will,
consequently, be elected as heretofore, by the
Legislature. A resolution was adopted by the
two houses, declaring the present ctmvocation of
ttie Legislature an indiscreet exercise of Execu
tive power, not warranted hy the true meaning of
the Constitution. The vote on the adoption of
this resolution was, in the Senate, 21 to 10 —In
the House 66 to 53. It appears now to be the
general belief, that ihe Electoral vote of New
York will be given to Mr. Crawford.

Yellow Fever. —The Board of Health officially
announce that the yellow fever has made its ap
pearance in this city. Five new cases are repor
ted on the 12th lust. Whether ibis disease will
spread generally among strangers, or he conliued
to a lew unhealthy spots, where it now uppears to
prevail, it is impossible at this time to determine.
In 1317 and 1319 this fever broke out about (lie
same time it has this year, and in both those years
several strangers, residing in healthy parts ot the
city, fell victims to it. Since 1319 the city has
been exempt from this dangerous epidemick ; and
during this interval ol five years, many persons
must have removed here who will be liable to
take and, should it become general. A few days
will determine this point.— lntel.
“ We are completely sick of the uoosense which
wo see in the newspapers and play-bills about
their Majesties the King and the Queen of the
Sandwich Islands—the whole thing is in bad taste,
and can conduce to no good purpose :—to see the
Royal Boxes at our theatres, destined for the re
ception of our accomplished and excellent Mon
arch, occupied by a copper-coloured Chieftain
and his female companion, whose first steps to
wards civilization have been taken since their ar
rival here, iu the assumption of coats and petti
coats, is quite abominable —it savours ol burlesque
to see this person, attended by the Lord High
Admiral of a navy eumprised ol five canoes, and
the Lord High Treasurer of a revenue consisting
of thirty pigs and fifty plantains per annum, sit- J
ting in state amongst Englishmen.
“ These savages choose to take a voy age to
England in a whaler —when they come let them
be well treated—give them their dog’9 flesh and
train oil in coiulort, and afford them the tranquil
enjoyment of their own pleasures, directed hy
Macacaw, the House Steward, and superintended
by foodelehoo, the Secretary—but do not take
them out of their proper sphere, and place the
chiefs of a tribe of copper coloured Inlanders upon
a footing with the enlightened sovereigns of Eu
rope.”
The above is from a late London paper, and
savours of injustice as well as bitterness. We do
not see why their majesties of the Sandwich Isl
ands have not the liberty of performing the farce
of royalty as well as the enlightened sovereigns of
Europe. “ Fnlighteued,” indeed !—had tlie king
of the Sandwich Islands achieved but (he hail’ of
the deeds of intrigue, ciuelty and folly which
have disgraced any one of these civilized sove
reigns, he would long since have suffered decap
itation.
A good maxim pushed too far. —Marshal Saxe,
speaking of military supplies, observes, that the

ment of the contest, the three last barrels which
should have contained cartridges, were discover

We are informed by a venerable revolutionary
naval officer, that he was captured three days af

who was a native of Scotland. The officer relat

fight, a row boat came from the shore manned
with four boys, who placed themselves directly
under the stern of his 9hip and fired incessantly
upon her. His officer of marines calling his at

“ Captain, do you see those young rebels ? Shall
we fire upon them?” “ No, no,” cried the brave

DIED,
At his residence in Putnam county, on Tues
day, 27th ult. Mr. John G. Harris, aged 27 years.
In the loss of this truly amiable man, and ex
emplary Christian, society has sustained a severe
loss; and his afflicted wife and two small chil
dren, a bereavement which nothing earthly can
supply.
Ot. the 27th day of July, 1820, precisely four
years before his death, at the Camp Meeting in
Putnam county, lie experienced the happy ap
plication of the atoning blood of Jesus to the re
mission of his sins ; he united himself to the Meth
odist Society, ol which he was a useful and ac
ceptable member, to the time of his decease; he
had been class leader to the society at Taberna
cle for the last two years, the duties of which ap
pointment, his exemplary piety and ardent zeal
enabled him to discharge to the entire satisfaction
of every member of that numerous society.
In recording the death of this excellent man.
the painful task is alleviated by the brilliancy of
that testimony which he left of his entire confi
dence in the saving grace of our Lord and Sa
viour Jesus Christ; which in the awful hour which
terminated his existence, buoyed him above the
things of time and sense, and seemed to open to
his enraptured vision a glorious view of that im
mortality of bliss which be was so soon to enjoy
in the bosom of his God, and in the society of the
shining hosts of heaven ! His last conversation to
his friends and relatives, exhorting them to follow
in the footsteps of the Redeemer, still vibrates
upon their hearts, and will continue to be felt till
the closing throb of those fond heurts shall be stil
led in death.— Communicated.

In the death of this truly useful and pious man,
society has sustained no ordinary loss—to his fam
ily it is irreparable.
