Benjamin K.

Now here arc five nw names, that I pro cured with but little trouble ; in fact, ev ery one to whom I proposed it has replied, " I will take it." I hope to be able soon to send live more, which will meet the ..t hnndrr.,1 to ral.c tell each bv the end of March. I am happy to inform you that the Advocate is very much liked iu this section. May it be instrumental in building up our church, and bringing souls - - , to Christ !" Thank you, brother, for your cheering words and your active zeal for " our own p:ipcr." We will at least try to make it useful in thy cause of religion. Another correspondent says : " Speak ing after the manner of men, we are proud of our naner ;" and he sends an enclosure to prove he speaks what he thinks. Another gentleman forwards us five new names from Gaston, with payment for them, and accompanying words of promise and encouragement. Several others write to have the Advo cate sent on ; that they had been unable to see an agent as yet, but are impatient to have the North Carolina Christian Ad vocate. Wherever a single copy has been circulated in a neighborhood, others have been ordered. The people within the North Carolina Conference thus show that they are able and willing to support a home paper. The preachers are beginning to bo mure active ; the time for protracted and camp-meetings is approaching; the new type and heading for the paper wdll surely arrive before long ; we shall labor to make our Advocate, as nearly as we can. ju.t what our people need ; and, upon the whole, though we see before us a ceaseless round of toil, yet we behold a bright future for the enterprise. Brethren, be of good cheer, and use your iii3ucp.ee on its behalf. Desponden cy in a preacher is as contagious as the iears.Tu "-every " "gooueti tt-TpnsG,- ecu j! deuce is the parent of success. Small Pox in Warrenton. There is uo new case, and all cause for alarm lias passed away. That a case of Einail-j'ox should have occurred in a large school, and yot the spread of the disease be arrested, reflects great credit upon the Faculty of the College and others who aided iu the prompt and prudent measures to which .so many are indebted for the safety of their daughters. Congress. This body is moving on slowly with the regular business. Nothing of unusual interest has been done during the past week. Discussions are continued yet about the disputed election, from Kansas. Mr. Douglass, ia the Senate, reported a bill for the prospective admission of Kansas, a3 a State. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty con tinues to he the occasional theme of de bate in that body. A Present How to cccount for it. We had thought, and still most potent ly believe, that North Carolina is, take it all in all, tho greatest place between the Poles. How comes it, then, that there are people in Yirginia so nearly equal to North Carolinians, in the way they have of doing things, that one would think they were " to the manor born." In proof, read and perpend. We have just received from Mr. Pullen, of the firm of Stebbins & Pullen, Richmond, a box, con taining, besides other things, a China Tea Sett, plain, neat, and of the best material; and, out of their large assortment, the lady who keeps house for us could not have been better suited. Such acts as this lead us to question the received early history of our neighbor next door north, as fabulous. That ascribes its first settlement to Capt. John Smith and his companions from England. But we suspect, if the truth were known, Yir ginia was colonized from North Carolina ; and this accounts for such instances of old home liberality upon the part of its citi zens. If this hypothesis be correct, then is Yirginia, (only ia its attention to Edi tors, mind you,) like the Union, ahead of the mother country. Correspondents. Several articles are rejected because they are too long for the subjects of which they treat ; though in other res pects well written. One or two more are not admitted, because they go a bout and about, with no definite end in view. Some of the writers display ca pacity ; let them use greater care in the selection of subjects, and in prepa ration for the press, and they may yet do much good by the pen. Fr-e Churches. j il,UntUmtom in some parts of j the Conference, to build free churches ; prejudice against the use of the terms, i that is, churches equally free for the use of all denominations. Years ago wc were; ef pleased with the theory, and thought how j liberal and fraternal it looks for Christians j thus to dwell together in unity. lut oo servation has changed this opinion, and 1CU in Uie COIl'. lCiio:J ludi, - , plausible theories, it works badly. O I one is specially interested in the improve ment and repairs of the bouse, and it goes to wreck. From the Fame pulpit, on suc cessive Sundays, clashing theologians are tempted each to hurl thunders or squirt I inuendoes at his predecessor and his doc trines ; the hearera are so tossed by every wind of doctrine, as to he stable iu no- thing long, unless it be in an ultimate scepticism and indifference to all religion. Not often does religion prosper in such churches; wickedness and vice, in many instances, arc rampant arvum, ....... . i i jlcttiouists are sometimes inaucea to! aid in building free churches, by specious promises of undisturbed liberty in using them. Cut when they wish to held a class-meeting they are excluded. When they have a protracted meeting, another claims the right to take charge, just in time to gather up from us the fruits of our labors. In many cases, the house built as a free church passes into the hands of some single denomination, and Methodists, who helped to build it, are excluded. We are opposed to building any more houses of this sort, and would suggest to our people that they build houses of their own, properly secured, according to Dis cipline. Death of Dr. Thomas E. Bond. This veteran Editor, after a brief ill ness, died in the city of New York on the 1 1K I.. V. r 7(ah rnar fif Vila norf. 1 x-tLn nisi., iu i vlii j v. t . vj . - t. i He was a native of Maryland, and long a resident of Baltimore. He was a prac tising physician, aud a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he became a member about 1805. His talents as an Editor were first brought into notice by the Radical controversy in 1828-30, during which he conducted a local paper, called The Itinerant, with signal ability. He was afterward -elected, by the General Conference, Editor of the Christian Advocate and Journal, at which post he continued for many years, except a short interval, until his death. He was ever true to Methodism, except in the the Church. IIi3 course contributed more than that of any other man to the neces sity of a Southern organization. In all other respects he was an intellectual prince among his peers a worthy leader of the " hosts of Israel." We have not learned the particulars of his death, but will hope he has died in peace and gone to rest. A remark, made by him just before he died, is characteristic and cheering. His son, Mr. Lenox Bond, a lawyer by profession, approached the bed-side of the " old man eloquent." He turned his dying eyes upon his son, and said, " Leu, I have taken the benefit of heaven's insolvent laws, and all is well." Eev. John Bay ley and his Wife Drowned. . We clip the following sad announcement from the Petersburg Express of Monday : The numerous friends and acquaint ances of the Rev. JoHNT Bayley, a mem ber of the Yirginia Methodist Conference, will read with deep regret that he and his wife were drowned last week in James River, near one of the lower counties of the State. We have been unable to gath er any of the particulars concerning this melancholy affair. Deceased was an Englishman by birth, and commenced Hfe at the printing busi ness. At an early age, he removed to the United States, settled in Virginia,and feeling it his duty to preach'the Gospel, united with the Methodist Conference, of which body he was an active member at the time of his unfortunate death. He was an able preacher, a good writer, and a truly pious man. At the last session of the Conference held in this city, he was assigned to the King and Queen Circuit. Bro. Bayley is extensively known in North Carolina as an able writer and a good man. We formed a personal ac quaintance with him at the late session of the Yirginia Conference, which was fast ripening, through correspondence, into friendship and affection. We are due him a letter, but no Sunday mails can bear it to heaven, where he has gone. As an author, "he being dead, yet speaketh." Hew Map of Nerth. Carolina. We invite attention to the advertise ment of Messrs. Cooke and Pearce. The New Map will soon be issued. Great labor and expense have been in curred to make it a full and accurate Map of North. Carolina ; and we think that every citizen who has a house large enough to hang the Map up in, and partakes at all of the spirit of Stat 3 pa triotism, every where around, should furnish himself with a copy. Uxiversalism. This deceptive form of infidelity is receiving a very lucid and able discussion in our paper. If the read er have a friend afflicted with tendencies that way, lend him the paper : it may do him godd. Entire Sanctifcation. j There is, in many mind?, an inveterate liriJv.iaii i ciit'.uyu.

Here, the basis upon which we are to stand is not our own merit, but the : promises of God. We are required, '. through the'grace thu3 given, to cleanse ourselves, not almost, but altogether, " from all filthiness of the flesh and ' pirit ;' from all outward and inward sin onil tTina hr brnnorbt; into a state '. , CAXAVA .UU. JJ J m- J ; , . of entire sanctification, or perfect holi ness. But why multiply quotations upon a doctrine so plainly taught in the word of God .' or ttu precious promises abound as the stars in a clear . midnight sky. In every form of ex-. pression, by command, promises and examples, are we taught to expect this ; " fullness of the blessing of the Gospel ; 4f hrist." It is said of the old Chris- , tians, that " God purified their hearts by Faith." Thi3 blessing may also be ours j To this end, " Christ gave himself for i us, that he might redeem us from all culiar people, zealous of good works. And thus, because through Ilim, God I worketh in us to will and to do of His i good pleasure, we are commanded, : " Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and : purify your hearts, ye double-minded." ; Faith in Christ begets in the mind a ' hope " which is an anchor to the soul." i St. John declares, that "Every man , that hath this hope in him, purifieth j himself, even as he (Christ,) is pure." j And that the possibility of this entire! purification through the Gospel is not ! a vain speculation, but a thing to be ' r ' i achieved by all that have boldness to i enter in by the new and living way, is plain' from the language of St. Peter to ; them who had tried it : " Ye have pu- kified your souls in obeying the truth, through the Spirit." ! Let others seek the world, if thev i will ; but, Reader ! do thou seek holi-! ness of heart. Let other churches adopt what rallying cry they may ; but let Methodism be ever true to its great mission of " spreading Scriptural holi ness over these lands." A Mistake the first Parsonage. In an article on Parsonages, last week, we stated that "Rev. James Reid was the first member of the old Virgin ia Conference who continued in the Conference after his marriage." This was a little erroneous. Rev. Peter Doub, D. D., was married one year be fore Bro. Reid ; and has continued in the itinerant ranks, to " bear hardness as a good soldier," to the present time. In this connection we may state an other interesting fact about Parson ages. The first Parsonage in the Vir ginia Conference, which, until 1837, included most of what is now the North Carolina Conference, was in Oxford, the county seat of Granville, NT. C., and situated near the centre of Granville circuit. And it was first occupied by Dr. Doub. In what year ? The min utes show that Bro. Doub was on that circuit in 1823 and 1824 ; and it is presumed he occupied the Parsonage the first year. It is thus seen that what is now the North Carolina Con ference, led off in the good work of sup plying Parsonages : Long may she con tinue ahead of all her neighbors in this respect. It is also seen that Granville circuit was the first in the Conference to provide the preacher a home. How is it now ? What has become of the Parsonage ? Is Granville advancing backwards? There is no Parsonage on that circuit. The members and friei - d of the chrrch are able to r ro- ter.: ride a good one.

Re easy and natural in your style. What is meant for fine writing is apt to be nonsensical. When you mean to say " Every dog has his day," do not write it " Each animal of the canine species is entitled to one diurnal revo lution of the earth upon its axis." Ideas, like men, work better in an eve ry day garb. 7. Yvhen you get to the end of your subject, do as we do now stop. Tracts. Every Christian who wishes to do good should supply himself with tracts. These little messengers of mercy are very cheap: one dollar will purchase fourteen hundred pages. By" having a supply always on hand, you can select one to suit the con dition of each one of your neighbors ; you can give it to him, and he will there read a lesson of instruction he might nev er have otherwise received, which may save his soul from death. You can place tracts in the families round about you ; and be assured, if some neglect to read them, that every tract you distribute will be read by some one. No tract on our catalogue can be distributed in vain : all will do good. You cannot preach then give away, with your own hands, a few . thousand pages of tracts every year. But you can preach : very well, preach on ; hut also distribute some tracts, and in this way prepare those who learn to listen with deeper interest ; distribute some tracts, and thus reach some that never hear you at all. Camp-SIeetings. There are thousands in the North Caro- . lina Conference who never attend Metho dist preaching, and will be lost unless they do. But they will go to a camp meeting, and we ought, therefore, to have camp-meetings, for their benefit. "But they will behave disorderly, ; we cannot have order."

But the preacher is a man ; he feels as a man ; he gets hui i so do his wi hungry like other people, "ana lfe and children he has lett to serve the church. Good intentions will not furnish bread to his little ones at home ; nor will the open hospitality which ever greets him on his round, pay the butcher's bill.

In this irame, he cannot serve his charge with his proper efficiency ; and the circuit suffers. Wherefore the con clusion to which we come is, that, if the matter has not been attended to, it ought to be done as soon as possible. Brother Stewards, we do not mean to blame you: we have just ventured to " stir up your pure mind by way of re membrance." Nf. C. Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb axd Blind.

New We have received a copy from the pub lishers. It is a very neat arid readable little volume, filled with corrections of common mistakes, in speaking, pronounc ing and writing. We give a specimen or two, at random : " The following equivocal notice is said to swinsr out on a sirn-board somewhere in the Western country : 'Smitli d Huggs Smith teaches the boys, and Iluggs the girls.' Huggs needs correction." "The business would suit one who en joys bad health." Few persons who have bad health can be said to enjoy it. Lse some other form of expression ; as, oni in delicate health, or one whose health is bad. By having this little volume at hand, one may, without effort, greatly improve ia accuracy and elegance of expression. The " corrections," so far as we have yet noticed them, indicate, on the part of the writer, a thorough knowledge of the language and its idioms. If the reader is too wise to learn, let him get one of these books for his young people at home ; it will be money well spent. Died, in Moore County, 10th Decem ber, 1855, Col.
