make sooo enquiry of you. Perhaps you are like Israel of old, MrAve.l I'rotn Hie covenant, from the nghl way; and 'loo. much in love with ihn things of inn world. Is this world a friend to in, "to help us on to Uo.lr" ym: must say not. Perhaps you may feel and say, I can h.mllv coniain. myself reading; a chapter in thr good book, rnther read almost :tny thing else. I find 1 can read, or lake much more lime in reulm uewspipers, or other works of the day, than the scriptures of truth. If might be said of these, that it is well enough at times; hut he sure not to neglect the more important mat ter. Search the scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal hie and they are they 'hat testily of me. Brethren in the mmisiiy, is this the cue with any of you? U there any neglect in reading the word of God? if so", no wonder thai you are olten so much at a loss for a text to prove thfi doctrine you are striving to maintain; not be cause there is not a text to prove it, hut because you cannot recollect it. But perhaps the poor preacher will say, this is not the woil. h veems I have no life even to in, or hardly return God thanks i'or the blessings which 1 daily enjoy, have no spirit of prayer; yea, and when it comes lime to go to preaching, it serins that from some einse I hardly vvant lo go; and if I gi, it seem that I can't preach, and that every body wants me to quit; and in fact it seems that I had as well quit. Brethren in the ministry, remember Moses. God told him to go. And go you must, if God has sent you. Examine the old way spoken of, and see if you cannot find some circumstance or c;ne that suits yours. Perhaps you have gone in forbidden paths, lus'ing after the things of ihe world too much. Brethren, one and all, we find we are swelling this epistle too tar, and must come lo a close. We, of this Conlenlnea Association, pro fess to be a people taught of ihe Lord. Il .-o, ihe scripture will re cognize us as Christians. The disciples were lirt c dlcd Christians at Anlioch. We shall examine Ihe word Christian in a two-fold sense: first, the term, Christian, is applied generally, lo all thosu na tions and people that profess Christ. Secondly, and as we would he understood to mean, to those, and lhoc alone, that are horn again, born of the Spirit of God; those lhat walk in newness of life, f iat are really and truly believers in Jesus Christ, that are dead lo sin. Thec we consider and no others are Christians and lit subjects for biptism, and lhat by immersion; and for members of Christ's church here on earth. Such we consider were the first Christians contem plated in hie text. Now, brethren, let us see what were their characters. We find them. Christ-like, always doing good: and although in ihe world, the world possessing but liltle of Christ, earnestly contending for his trulh even to death. Hear ihe Saviour to Peter: Feed my lambs feed my sheep. Hear Paul, Acts, 20. 21 28: I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not know- in? the things lhat shall befal me ministry: Take heed therefore unto over the which the Holy Ghost hath church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Mark that, brethren, the Holy Ghost, not men, or hoards of men, but the Holy Ghost haih made you overseers: to feed the church ol God. II ihese were the only preachers among us, do you not think we should be better oil. Hear Paul further in this same chapter: Knowing this, that afler my departure shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Of these wolves, Christ also warns us to beware. And now, brethren of profession have protested, as we wolves; for we think we have seen have the sheepskin on; and have teeth. The church in the scriptures woman, a garden, a city, and many others, among which sheep is one. bee Christ to Peter, leed my sheep. Contemplate for a mo ment the difference in sheep and wolves. What a striking difference. in the character of sheep, we would before we leave you; and in doing belter for your consolation, than to bee John 10: I am ihe good shepherd, the good shepherd giveth his life for ihe sheep. Contrast this wiih the hireling. See the differ ence. The hireling fleetb, because he is an litrel'mc. and careth not for the sheep. Christ : I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Contemplate for a moment what we once were, and what we hope we now are. in sin, now dead losm : Once out fold: once enemies to God, now to God, now reconciled to him everlasting love of God. I have loved thee with an everlasting love, t' refore wilh loving kindness have I drawn ihee. God is love; we love him, God, because he first loved us. God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son; Christ so loved sinners, that he gave himself he gave himself for self a peculiar people, zealous of he that was rich became poor, that we through his poverty might be rich. John says, love one another. Brethren, we ought to love one another, and Christians under a right exercise of faith, do love one another. Once more, the character and nature of sheep: they are harm less, inoffensive animals, feeding on greeu pastures in the "spring and summer, have a natural disposition to be together, bol are subject to many diseases; often get their fleece torn with briers, thorns; are easily scattered by wolves and dogs, and often killed; and very often get so much frightened, that they run- from the shephercf hrthself; but in due time, by right management, they get back again. We notice that sheep chew the cud. We often see them, after feeding on the pasture for a while, lying under the shade apparently happy, were it not for the flies, chewing the cud, or food again. In the winter we see them feeding on buds, and ihe old dead straw of the pas ture; ami when tney can gel it, on herd. So hrislians like lo he together, unless torn apart by wolves and dogs, they in spiritual springs frames, and on the sincere milk of difficulties, torn with briers; and evil or meditating on a good sermon which they have heard or are hearing; meditating on the dealings of God wilh their souls. But in a spiritual winter, all seems cold and lifeless with them; if they walk over the pasture ana attempt to leed thereon, s tance in it. lsut when they can promises, get a grain or so from i'ie shepherd of the bread of life, lhat came down from God, that giveth life to the church, thev revive a lit- i.. iv :r.., : i . . ue. nuw ii c iac uii eviuence vour to live as sucn, be always hope thai is in us; endeavouring Saviour Jesus Christ, as much as a hill that cannot be hid.

The utmost order and regularity prevailed,and nothing occurred to mar the spvrt save the transfer of a few shin plasters, which somewhat lenglh ed the visages of several of the spectators. A correspondent has obli gingly furnished us with the fol lowing particulars respecting the death of Capt. Thomas D. Gal lia, briefly noticed in our fasi pa per: His death was occasioned by a fall from his horse, his head striking a tree and causing a vio lent concussion of the brain. On Saturday last, he left home in good health and in the prime of life to attend a Court Martipl h( a short distance from home, when towards the evening thin fatal acci dent happened in consequence ol one of his stirrups breaking, which caused him to lose his balance: and he was thus precipitated to ihd ground. On Sunday he was conveyed home on a bed to his distressed family, where he lin gered until Tuesday morning near nine o'clock, when he was to be numbered with Ihe pale nations of the dead. Thus has he been snatched from an affectionate and an amiable consort and four lovely and promising small children. On Wednesday evening his remains w,ere conveyed lo the grave, fol lowed by a large concourse of his neighbors and .friends of all sexes ages and conditions, who had met upon ihis solemn and moui nful oc casion, where ihe tears and deep sorrow visible in every counte nance showed lhat love and high esteem borne towards him by the community in which he resided. In all the relations of life, Capt. Gallin was generous, kind, affec tionate and humane; and it may be truly said of him, 4that he vi sited ihe widow and ihe father less, and him that had none to help him." But whilst we dwell upon his many virtues and pass over in silence his faults and his foibles, Ihe curtain must fall upon the tragic scene and Ihe fatal hour. "The Lord is in his holy temple : let all the earth keep silence be fore him." (Habakkuk, chap. 2, verse 20.) Quiescal in pace. Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road. We learn from the Wil mington Advertiser of the 10th iust., that 53 miles of this road have been graded, and 43 are in a state of forwardness. Some of the most important bridges are completed, and among them one across the N. E. branch of Cape Fear, 10 miles from Wilmington. This bridge is 3G0 feet long; is made up of 3 spans, and rests on two stone abutments, and two stone piers built in water 3G feet deep. Federal Court. This body ad journed only on Saturday even ing having had before it much im portant business on the Civil docket. The two individuals mentioned in our last, as implica ted in a charge of mail Robbery, were both acquitted Smith, be cause the Grand Jury ignored the bill, ajjd Loftis, because the only testimony against him'was his own confessionsmade under duress; and . tujg-fcre rejected by the CourlHaleigh Re". Mattamuskeet Lake. An aci was passed at the last Session of the Legislature of the State, ap propriating $8,000 for damming .Mattamuskeet Lake in Hyde Co. We are gratified to learn that this is in a fair way of being done, and at a cost considerably below the sum appropriated. A Canal, three miles long, and forty feet wide, has been dug, and the drain ing of the Lake commenced about three weeks ago. In the first ten days, it is estimated lhat the whole lake fell two inches, and of course, as the body of waier diminishes, ihe rapidity of the fall will increase. When it is borne in mind, that from twenty to sixty thousand Lacres'of Land, will, probably, be reoeemed by this experiment and rendered fit for cultivation, and lhat, loo, ol the most fertile quali ty, the Legislature may well be recommended for the exercise of a judicious economy. b. Northern Lights. There was a beautiful, and in this region, a novel display of the Aurora I3o realis, or No. them Lights, on Tuesday evening hist, from twi light till nearly midnight. The corruscaiions, which add o much lo the brilliancy of these pheno mena, in more northern latitudes, are not perceptible with us. Raleigh Stand. Troubles in Canada. The po- iilical afiVirs in Lower Canada are assuming an u lpleasant aspect. The Montreal Herald says that the house of II. B. MtGinuis, Esq. in the parish of L'Acade, has been town down by the "rebel?," be cause he would not resign his com mission as captain of Militia. The Toronto Correspondent, in a post-j script of Monday last, says that an express arrivedin that city the day before, with an order from Sir John Colborn lo have every soldier at the garrison to be sent withoet a moment's delay to Mon treal. The interior of ihe Lower Pro vince is much harassed by ihe struggles of the contending par ties. A riot took place in Mon treal on the 5lh insl. The "Loy alists" vs. "the sons of liberty" the former prevailed. It was with difficulty they were prevented from breaking into Mr. Papinean's house but they broke into the priming office of the "Vindicator," and threw types, paper, foe. into the streets. The Koyal regiment was called out to stop ihe riot. Ohio Pork The Lebanon Star says, lhat they have now and then heard of four dollars per hun dred being oft'ered for pork. In Cincinnati! we do not learn of any contracts having been entered into, but we are satisfied that our merchants will buy sparingly at that priee. The country is full of pork, and the market is abundant ly supplied at cheap rates. Nearly every other wagon, (and there are generally from two to three hun dred in the market spaces,) con tains many hogs. Porkers, as young roasters are called, which last year sold readily at one dol lar and 25 cents, are plenty at from G2 1-2 to 75 cents each. Cincinnatti IV hits. JVew York Market , Nov. 15. Cotton.
