Ifj&enton, in our sinful, Ignorant and. helpless Fktewe desire to learn the way of salvation, the t , word of God ia the only sooree of that knowU sdge, m spiritual aid and comfort, which "giveth understanding to tie simple.' "Without it," says Jewell, "ear prayer were no prayers: without it cur sacraments were no sacraments; our faith were no faith ; oar conscience were no eonscience ; our church- were no church." And so St. Angus- tin says: "Hte Church must be showed out of the 'Holy and canonical Scriptures; and that " which cannot be showed out of them, is not the church." Bat the Romanista allege the suprem acy tof their apostoiically -descended priesthood over the sacred Scripturea, because the rery idea of apostolic anccession" with them involves, , first, the entire and complete surrender into their . hand of the interpretation of the word of God; and, secondly, unlimited power over the con sciences of men. This constitutes both the found ation and superstructure of the spiritual suprem acy of the Romish Church, whence her prelates, a so many grasping, aspiring politicians, deduce her claims to temporal authority. But this "au thority of the church," or of tins Pope, as the head of the church, for it is only another phrase for the authority of the " apostolically-descended priesthood," ia substituted for the supremacy of the Scripturea, or word of God, because, in order to maintain their position, they "must needu hold that the church is but indirectly and co vertly recorded there," and that it is possible for them, through their " wise and prudent" inter pretation of the. word of God, to develope and ' perfect that Which, In their folly and madness, they hare declared God has left imperfect. This involves the one or other of these ideas ; either of a further revelation of God's will and pleasure in regard to his church, through these "apostolic uccessora," of which, however, we have no more reliable evidence than we have of the beavenly- ' Inspired character of afahoroet's claims and pre- tensions; orihat they are capabi, through their worldly wisdom and prudence, of judging of the sufficiency and completeness of God's merciful nlan for man's redemption, and of rendering it available and perfect, should they deem it not aufficient or incomplete in any respect whatever. This seems to be really impious ; and so it is. Bat be not incredulnns, gentle reader, at this ex position of the doctrine, and its tendency, of the Church of Borne. It ia fully sustained, both by the teachings of her learned doctors, as we have , already seen in part, and by her common every day practices, whence, for example, does she ., derive her doctrine otpurpatory T Not from the Holy Scripturea, surely, for it ia not to be found in them, anywhere ; yet it is one of the main shirrs of her ecclewaalyal system, and chief source" of her spiritual power. St. Augustin declare, that she obtained it from the ancient and heathen Bomane, who had what they called a purgatory sacrifice, fwrgatarium &urum. Whence, akodid she derive her doctrine of in dtgemeet or pardcms, together with wuueee for i WdeaatkLhvingT It is no where authorized - by God's holy word, openly and directly, or "in . dimetly and covertly ; yet it is one of the daily t tfjtactketof this church, and really constitutes . . one of her chief sources of revenue. The pa- ' ' pist, Sylvester Prieriaa, asys; "Indulgences and pardona are not made known to us by the au- r thority of the Scriptures; but they ace made known to us by the nnthority of the Ryman '' chureh, and of the bishops of Borne, which is greaser : (be the Scriptures." However, we ' shall tee mon of these matters hereafter. For i the potent, tlverefore, I shajl simply remark, -lh these,1 like other corruptiona and abuses of " the Church of Rome? are not only without war t'r ' tat tKtn God, but that the earliest Christian .

Thus; although "ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own traditions," the unfaithful ness of men shall not disappoint God's faithful promises; for, if they receive -not Christ acoord fnir to the Gob Del. then shall publicans and har lots go before them into the kingdom of heaven. But let us hear what the early Christian fathers say about the' Scriptures, as the only source of true spiritual light, and knowledge, and power ; iu1 likewiiM what ia their iudsment about the spiritual and temporal supremacy 01 ine see 01 Rome. Origen, who flourished in the first half of the third century, and who was unquestionably the most learned of the Christian writers, either be fore or since his time, until the revival of learn ing, says: " We must needs call to witness the Holy Scriptures ; for our judgment ana exposi tion, without these witnesses, carry no credit." "Would God we would all do accordingly as it is written, search the Scriptures;" for then we would know that "Christ is thh fbikst, thk raoriTiATiOH and SACRIFICE : which propitia tion cometh to every one by means of faith," be cause "He bore in 'himself our infirmities, and van Hal vtu mivwi; Un luflnulUcB uf the soul and the sorrows of the inner man." But the full knowledge of this truth, according to Ori gen, is only to be learned from the Holy Scrip tures, and the full benefit of it, in relieving man from the dominion of sin, is only to be obtained by means of a steadfast and lively faith in the sufficiency of the doctrine whicn the Scriptures teach. So, too, Jerome, who flourished in the Utter half of the fourth century, in commenting upon those words of the Apostle, " Let the word of Christ dwell in you plenteoualy," says: "Here we are taught that the lay people ought to nave the word of God, not only sufficiently, but also with abundance, so as to teach and counsel one another." And again, he says: "Let all those things, which, without the testimony of the Scripturea, are h olden as delivered from the Apostles, be thoroughly smitten down by the sword of God's word." It should be remember ed, also, that this father ia held in high esteem at Rome, for the Latin translation of the Bible, known aa the Vulgate, and the only version re cognized as authentic by the Church of Rome, is his production. But to return : St. Ambrose, a contemporary of Jerome's, contending that our religion must be proved out the Holy scriptures, or else we should be found following false lights, and running after new guides, says to the empe ror Grauan: -Let the Scriptures be asked the question; let the prophets be asked; let Christ be mtked." St. Augustin, certainly the most eminent, and perhaps the most useful, of the Latin fathers, for it is said his writings, under providence, gave that tone to Luther's opinions, which afterwards led him to reiect the entire bodv of Romish er rors, says : "Take away from amongst us any of our own books. Let the book of God come amongst us." Hear what Christ saith : hearken what the truth speaketh. " Hear this, The Lord saith ; hear not this, Donatus saith, or Rogatus, or Vincentiua, or Hilarius, or Ambrose, or Augus tine saith. "We offer no wrong to St. Cyprian, when we sever any of his letters or writings from the canonical authority of the Holy Scriptures." "Neither weigh we the writings of aH men, be they never so worthy and catholic, as we weigh the canonical scriptures ; but that, saving the re verence that fs due uotq, them, we may mUlike and refuse somewhat in their writings, if they have thought otherwise than the truth may bear. Such am I in the writings of others, and such would I wish others to be in mine." "This" kind of writings is to be read, not with a necessity of believing them, but with a liberty to judge of them. "The judges or doctors of the church, as men, are often deceived." And therefore, follow ing St. Paul very closely, he says further : "Whether it be of Christ, or of his Church, or anything else whatsoever, pertaining either to our life, or to our faith, I will not say if I myself, but if an angel from heaven, shall teach us other wise than ye have received in the books of the Law, and in the Gospels, hold him accursed." And St, Chrysostom says : "This is the cause of all ill, that the scriptures are not known." "To know nothing of God's love, is the Iohs of salva tion. Ignorance hath brought on heretics and vicious life; ignorance hath turned all tilings upside down. l hereiore, he calls upon the peo ple to hear and read the scriptures, "liear me, ye men of the world ; get ye the Bible, that most wholesome remedy for the soul ; if ye will nothing else, yet at L?ast get the New Testament St. Paul's Epistles, the GospelB and the acts, that they may be your continual and earnest teachera." Hearken not thereto only here in- the Church, but also at home ; let the husband with the wife, let the father with the child, talk together of these matters, and, both to and fro, let them both inquire, and give them judgments; and would God they would begin this good cuttbiru " A gain, he says : "All things are plain and clear in the Holy Scriptures Whatsoever things there are necessary for us, are also manifest." "He therefore that will know which is the true church of Christ, how may he know it, but by the scriptures? Therefore our Lord, knowing that there would be such confusion of things in the latter days, commandeth. that christians, which live in the profession of christian faith, and are dexirous to settle themselves upon a sure ground offaitk, should go to no other thing but to the scriptures, Otlierwise, if they had regard to other things, they should be offended and per -ish, and not understand which is the. true church." Hear also, what Clement of Alexan dria and Irenaeus say. Clement says: "The word of God is hid from no man ; it is a light common unto all men : it is as bright and beauti ful as the sun ; there is no dungeon or darkness in it," And Irenaeus says: "The scriptures are plain and without doubtfulness, and may be heard indifferently of all men," So, too, the wri tings of Ignatius, Pojyoarp, and Justin Martyr, the two former being disciples of St. John, In culcated none other than purely scriptural doc trine. They declared the absolute Divinity of our Lord, bis pre-existence and eternity, the union ot ine aivine sntj Rupm ihsr in nis person, the influence of the Holy spirit, salvation by means of Christ's death alone, and the necessity of personal kf&ntts. Thus J mjght go on. and make other- pertinent extracts from the old Greek father, Theadoreb, how ; "Te may commonly see,that our doctrine is known not only of them that ore the flocpora of the Church, and the masters of the people, but also even of the tailors, and smiths, and weavers, nd of all artificers ; yea, and further, also, of wo men, and that not only of them that be learned, but also of labouring women, and servants, and sewers," and' hand-roaidt ; neither only the citi zens, but also the country folks do very well un derstand the same." Such Is the opinion of a Greek father, as to the value and importance of the scriptures to the learned and unlearned, who lived l the first lalf wf the fifth century. Now to what TheoDhviarb. another Greek father. but of the eleventh century, when Home had ex cluded tile Bible from circulation, says, in regard to those who do not use the word as the witness of the spirit : "He entereth not in by the door, that is, py the Scriptures ; for he does not use the Scripturea nor the Prbpbets as witnesses. For indeed the Scriptures are the door by which we are brought to God, and they suffer not the wolves to come Inj they keep off heretics, that we may be In safety I and they teach us the reason of anything, wherein we would be Instructed there fore, be is a thief which entereth not into the sheep-fold by the Scriptures. And by the Scrip- himself, to succession fioaxt. Petor, the'keya to open heaven or :"hell as hi ; t reasure rnay be; to dispense rewards or pgnjahmrnta, for c43edience or disobedience, taenia commands. If Pop?'' if Christianity, then Christ was an im poster, and the Scripturea; nd the -Apostles, and Evangelists, and the early fathers that testified of him, axe false. But blessed be God, the Father, Christ is the son of the Father, and eery God of very God, and ihev that testify of Him testify of the Truth. On the other hand, Popery is a ahameleas impae- ture. steeped in vile, lying superstitions 'and won ders, which has been palmed upon aa uaauspect ing people, who are ignorant of the real truths of Christianity, because tbey have.beehshut off from the law and the testimony t by impious Popes, Priests and Monks, who have not only suppressed the general circulation of the Holy Scriptures in the Pone's dominions, bv the exercise of the tem poral authority, but have actually forbidden the nrivate use of them amouK all the followers of the Pone, under ecclesiastical pains and penalties, while they themselves have excluded these evi dences of the truth from the public worship in their Churches. Thus, the Roman Breviary ia filled with the most, absurd legends, if not witff the grossest and most idolatrous superstitions. Erasmus says of it : "Now-a-days every fool's dreams, yea, every woman's doting fancies, are read with the Holy Scriptures." And so, Poly dore Virgil says : "They read the lives of many saints, although written with little attention to the truth." While Vires, writing about the Gol- ilen Legend of the Roinaniete, which, m all pro bability, is the fountain and source of mott of their ecclesiastical stories and fables, says : "I know not why it should be called Qollcnj for it must have been written by a man with a fore head of iron, and a heart of lead, and is full of the most impudent lies." All three of these writers were men of talents, learning and integrity of the sixteenth century, and Papists until their death, which renders their testimony the more valuable in regard to the foolish fables and lying wonders of the Literature of fiomanitpt , ... But let us return from this digression, anu re mark that the early fathers and Christian councils allowed no more ample authority to the Bishop of Borne, than they did to either, of the other Patriarchal bishops, although he was the succes sor of St. Peter. And in this connection, it may be mentioned as a singular fact, that the circum stance of being bishop of Rome, by the ordering of St. Peter, was a matter of so little moment, ui the earliest and therefore the purest days of the Church, compared with a knowledge of the fact, that there existed at Rome a large and increasing congregation of worshipping Christians, that Ig natius, the worthy disciple of ot. John, and bish op of Antioch, although he wrote an Epistle to the Romans, actually did not know tlie uanie of their bishop. But what did it matter to him, who was of St. John, whether they were of St. Paul or St. Peter I lie knew they were a con gregation of real believers, who, like himself, were worshipping God in spirit and iu truth, according to the law and the testimony, and Uieretore they received, as they deserved to receive, his earnest thoughts and most prayerful consideration. He knew that God's grace was promised to all those who fear him and keep his commaudmenta, and not to tins Church or that Church, or to this succession or that succession, or, indeed, to any sees or tuerej tions. This fact is happily illustrated, I think, iu the first christian council ever held, which was at Jerusalem in the days of the Apostles, and was held at the instance of Paul and Barnabas and certain other of the christians of Antioch, who had come up with Paul and Barnaltas from that place, to consult with the Apostles ami Elders and brethren at Jerusalem, as to the necessity of christians keeping the laws of Moses, but more especially the law of circumcision. In speaking of this, as among the acts of the Apostles, St. Luke says: "The Apostles and Elders came to gether for to consider of this matter." Thus it appears the Apostles and Elders took couucil to gether for the good of the Church, with St. Peter among them, but having no more authority in the premises than the rest had. And, indeed, we are fully justified, from what St. Luke says further ou, in concluding that the laity were pre sent, also councilling with the Apostks awl Elders, and aiding them in their judgment as to what was best to be done in regard to the difficulty which hail brought them together ;. for, says St. Luke: "Then pleased it the Apostles and Elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch, with Paul ami Barna bas ; namely, Judas, surnamcd Rare.il ms, and Si las, chief menatnong the brethren, &c. Now the construction which I have put upon this state ment is, 1 contend, strictly warranted by a for mer observation in this same record, namely, that When J aul and liamabas, snd the other christian men, who came with them from Antioch, "were ctmte to Jerusalem, they were receiced f the Curc)t, and of the Apostles ami Elders" meaning, obvi ously, as it could not in good sense mean any thing else, that the amgregatitgi or comjtairy of faithful worshippers at Jerusalem was a christian church, independent of the Apostles and Eklers as such, for the church, eo notaine, is as distinctly and as separately noted here, as are either the A postles or Elders. But let me not be misunder stood ; for 1 have been thus particular iu attempt ing an analysis of this portion of the canonical scriptures, not for the purpose, as will presently appear, of undervaluing the heaven insjtired im portance of the Apostles, but because I believe it throws much light upon something which af terwards became fruitful sources of trouble and sufFering with God's people. In the first place, then, the AposUes and Elders and the whole Church at Jerusalem, in deciding the question before them, settled a most important principle of ecclesiastical polity ; for they determined, in effect, that it was needless to consider any mere outward difference in use among the follow ers of Christ in their several churches or con gregations of sufficient importance to be made masters of dispute among christians, who should be united as brethren, in loving God with all their hearts and minds and souls, and their neighbors as themselves, and in making an open profession of these things, by being baptized with water, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and in keeping the Last Supper as a memorial of our Lord and Savior's death and passion. Such, then, are the appointed means for man's redemption, and such are t)ie means which secure for him fellowship with Christj the Redeemer, and establish a fra ternal feeling and common interest amongst His followers, wheresoever and under whatsoever cir cumstances their lot may be cast, and which constitute, therefore, the outward unity of His Church. In after times, the idea of this out ward unity of the church suggested the idea also of an outward individual representative of that unity, and thence came the Romish heresy, with af its train ot evus, inat unnsts church was founded upon the person of St. Peter, as 'the out ward individual. representation of the church, in stead of upon his rock of faith, -which is the ground of hope and common inheritance of all true believers", or those who 'worship God in'flpt rit and in truth, and who seek to attain everlast ing life, through faith In Christ, the Redeemer, and the observance of his appointed ways nnto salvation. These are the inheritors of God's blessings, according to the promises, and are members of His holy and infallible church, "and not those who chng to the soul-devouring heresy that they are the representatives of Peter's out ward individuality, by 'successive formal ordina tions from him, and that . therefore they are the sole possessors, of thj, promjes, and that there fore, also, they are the sole inheritors of the blessings which accompany the prornfses, How much better off are these men than were the Jews, who thought that, being outwardly called to pe uoa s people oy tne mark or circumcision, which admitted them under the covenant with Abraham, they were DEUveaEp" 'to da all kinds of abominations with Impunity, and had need only to trust to outward ceremonies, r in the stability of their temple, saying, -The temple f tlieL but to do raster' end ia love xnercy, and I to : waiAV-nwuDiy wiia my. w i - - confirmation of this truth." which wat spoken by )U k J fit Pan I under the new dis- . ff.

In the next, or second place, it, does not appear that Peter, though present, claimed any superiority over tne otuers ui r associated with him on this occasion, although thia " man of rock" and more than adamantine faith was actively engaged iu the aeuoerauous of this assembly, as, indeed, he always was, aiwr the Crucifixion, whenever his divine Masters cause could be served. Yet, notwithstanding all this, Peter, Uke the rest of the Apostles, was not infallible, for Paul iuforms us that, "when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the )uMiua wan Vu blamed " "For be- fore that certain came from' James, he did eat with the Gentiles ; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision." And, indeed, it might appear from the account, in Acts, of the first council at Jerusalem, that James spoke with more authority than Peter, and as one conscious of his -authority. This view of the matter seems also to derive aome force from the above state ment of Paul's; whilst a celebrated theologian of the Romish Church (Johan. de l'ansiis) cieariy expresses that opinion, thus: " When Peter had said his mind, James, by his ponuncai auvuor- ity, pronounced the deniutive sentence. It is apparent then, from the constitution and conduct of the first Christian council, that of Je rusalem, where all the Apostles were assembled, that we have no evidence wnaiever o rcver w ing the Prince of the Apostles, npr any Intima tion, even, of the Ocdhedra Petri, which was to be founded by that apostle, and which was to be come the outward representative of christian uni ty ; for not the elders only, but the whole church, including the laity, were associated on this occa sion with the apostles, aa so many christian breth ren. And that the inferior clergy, at least, par ticipated for a great while, after the institution of Christ's church, equally with the bishops in gen eral councils, ia conclusively proven by the cir cumstance, according to Nicephorua, that "Atha nasius, being the leader of the band of deacons at Alexandria, was not the least part ot tne Couucil" of Nice. Again ; in the second Council of Nice, the 'two representatives of the see of Rome were only rnrESTS ; yet they had an equal voice ami authority with the bishops there assem bled, for they deliberated upon, and gave their as sent and subscribed their names to, the decrees of this Council along with and in the presence of the bishops. ' As to Athanasius not being the least part of the first Council of Nice, it means, either that there were others, less in dignity than dea cons, who were a part of that Council, or that Athanasius, although only a deacon, as a member of that assembly, from his great abilities, was the equal of those of superior dignity.

But tlie subject id too 'distressing to dwell hen. M:y that lnysti'ru ms FrovUeuce, s. tearfully sc miireo our city, deal with holy Ji( -and b!es3 its future r . -i i A Russian Vikw or the Was. Several ar tides have recently appeared in the Nord, calcu lated to show the probable policy and tactics of the Russians. They prove that the retreat to the northern side of Sevastopol had been for many weeks in preparation. They indicate that the new position in which the Russians are placed is not an unexpected one, and that they have suf fered neither surprise nor disappointment. Such preparations had been made to counteract and limit the effects of a surrender of the south side, that its bearing and significance are in a great degree attenuated. Nesselrode asserts, over his owu signature, that the Turks have lost 160,000 'men, the French 40,000, and the English 80,000; that Russia will fight till she is exhausted ; that her credit, even in the countries with which she is at war, remains undisturbed ; that her commerce. both foreign and domestic, increases in defiance of the blockade ; that she has discovered the means of assuming the offensive towards the nation that was first to declare war. Site waits calmly and resignedly till propositions of peace be made that she can accept without belying her history or dishonoring her future. Tike frontiers may be attacked, but Iter heart is still sound. With reference to the plans of future resistance to be offered to the Allies, they would seem to involve the determine! defence of the Crimea. The Russian argument is, that their position is improved by the retreat from the Karakeinaia. As long as the defence of the Malakoff, of the Redan, awl of the other fortifications, resulted in causing a greater daily loss to the enemy than to themselves, it was policy to prolong tlie defence ; but the moment the besiegers obtained a foothold within the waljs, and the ratio of mortality was reversed, resistance no longer in vol veil the sup port of a jprinciple, aud became a profitable dis pute for a heap of ruins. So the Russian Gene ral, applying tlie match to his long expectant mines, and leaving naught but fire an explosion in his path, withdrew with his troops, a large portion of his material, and with his wounded, across the bridge of boats. This skilful and most successful manoeuvre has won tlie admira tion of his enemies. The Russian argument contends that their forces in the Crimea were awkwardly separated by the tongue of water facing the port of Sevas topol. To the north lay the forts with their gar risons, and stretching to the east Lipradi's strong ly intrenched army of relief, upon the heights overlooking the Tchemaya. All this formed one uninterrupted line of defence. But across the bay, to the south, lay the city of Sevastopol, with its 50,000 troops. These were isolated by the port, and being hemmed in on three sides by an irregular circle of fire, had no possible means of escape but the boat bridge connecting the two banks. For many months the game lay to their advantage, and they gave back better than they got. When the tide turned, they abandoned po sitions they no longer had a motive for keeping. There is at least some ingenuity in this ver sion, while it is clear that the moral effect pro duced by the fall of Southern Sevastopol has been great, not only ipJBngland and France, but throughout Europe.

Iudeed, who shall we name that has been exempted from it ? Those who fled the pestilence, and those who remained to brave its terrors, are alike overwhelmed in the general vortex of crushed affections, "withered hopes and blighted prospects. No pen can adequately por tray the horrors of that dark period, which, Driei as it was, has sufficed to produce an age of mis ery and woe, unprecedented in the recorls of similar visitations. Yes, those who were safe from the pestilence have in uuinerous instances been made to feel, not less keenly than those who were exposed to its terrors, the effects of its desolating ravages ; but they who were not present can form but i faint idea, if any. of its startling, its unearthly horrors during the worst period of its career. The sick, with few exceptions, were far too numerous to be reported, and ere it could be known beyond their immediate . neighborhood that they were sick, the tidings of the death were spread, a broad. Consternation, hurry and confusion were visible evervwhere. The trreat anxiety at one period from the 26th of August to the 4th of September was to procure coffins for the dead, though the mortality had not then reached its maximum of 60 or 70 a day 1 The undertakers, though constantly at work, night and day, could not half supply the demand, and rough boards were made into box s, ami boxes that had been u sed for other purposes were substituted for coffins. Into these the dead, whatever their character or condition in life, were huddled sometimes two to gether, and hurried off in a common cart or wag on for interment in a trench, for want of time to prepare separate graves. Delicate and interest ing women, aged matrons, and venerable sires in the respectable walks of life, were among the number subjected to this summary and revolting mode of interment, giving cruel poignancy to the grief of their surviving connections. But it was unavoidable. Yet, iu spite of all this indecent haste, many corpses were left unburied for 24, and in some instances 36, and even .48 hours, thus adding fuel to the fire, and augmenting the virulence of the disease. A supply of coffins, (50 in number,) was received from the Relief Committee in Baltimore, on the 3d of September, and eighty more from the authorities of Rich mond on the 4th ; and coffins were continued to be sent by both, in numbers sufficient for the de mand so tliat this painful exhibition in the dra ma of woe was not repeated. There was enough without it, however, ' to have overwhelmed the sensibilities of the stoutest heart in ordinary times; but to those who remained involuntary spectators of what was passiug, repetition had al most blunted the sense of woe ; and events, the recollection ol which is now doubtless wringing many a heart, made but little impression at the time of their' occurrence such is the force of habit. From the date of our last issue till the ces sation of the epidemic the city was wrapped in gloom. All the stores, and the dwellings of ab sentees, were closed ; few were seen passing in the streets on foot, and these on some errand of mercy or necessity, or led abroad by curiosity to see ami hear what was passing. Most of the in habitants present were either confined at home by sickness or in attendance on the sick, or, deem ing it safer, preferred remaining within doors. There was, however, no place more safe than oth ers. The disease was epidemical throughout the length and breadth of the city. And though there was the perpetual din of carnages, continually passiug, from early dawu till a late hour of the night the physicians' carriages, and hacks con veying nurses and members of the Howard As sociation, and the hearses, and the ever-moving sick wagon rattling to and fro in every di rection and with unwonted velocity there was no sign of wholesome animation nothing beto kening vitality iu any of the occupations of life nut those ot the physician and the undertaker. Every day brought with it fresh griefs and re grets for the heavy losses which tlie city was con tinuing to suffer in the removal of its moet val uable citizens men who liad directed its affairs. and lent a helping hand in various ways to sus tain its credit, promote its prosperity and embel lish its society. 1 here was no need ef the daily press to spread the melancholy tidings. The night s disasters ran through the city each mor ning with lightning speed. On one day were rehearsed, among the long list of thu dead, the well known names of Ilattou, Feret, I. Higgins ; on another, Wm. E. Cunningham, Wm. D. Rob erts, Dixon, Shuster : on another, Gate wood, Jr., Sorey, Walters, R. S. Bernard, Briggs ; on an other, Tunis Upshur, Wills, .Delany, Burnham ; on another, Gait, Ferguson, Wm. Reid ; on anoth er, C. H. Bcale, Caleb Bonsai, John D. Gordan, Joseph Hurden and scores of other citizens, all useful in their various spheres the "bone and sinew" of the body politic, When we look back upon our city as it was a little more than two months ago in the enjoy ment of more than its wonted share of health i smiting in the midst of peace and plenty ; pros perous in all its various departments of business, commerce and mechanical industry ; looking in to tne future with high hopes and bright antici pations from its works of internal improvement ; Its inhabitants happy in themselves and their families and mutually happy in one another as a community in which were combined the elements of reclpropaj good wiIL social harmony and com mon interest when w recall to mind, this pain- iu wwwiuni w mjb cwnuiifoa wwen OUT -city SO recently presented and contemplate the scenes of hcrror and dismay which so suddenly followed It as with tne rush ef a whirlwind, appalling, be wildering, stupifying and stunning all the facul ties of mind and sense, and steeping them in a vortex ef woe unutterable we find it difficult tq assure ourselves of the reatity of what -e Ha.Yf P&ssfld through i rbt hrjef space of time ; .aqd frt fee) as If it wlrU a figbxW dwarn yjsioo. of woe which still haunts and terrifies lis,' while we woui4 fwa preuide ourselves that if is an mw real moekery, OW that it were so indeed I But no.
