tentaY st i-ans, of our day, is decidedly against
the 'authority ii" revelation, and we fear that c
manv of our own scientific ineir.Iiave imbibed, a t
similar spirit from the influence of foreign books
aud the fashionable free-thinking which pervades
the country ; but there are others on both sides
of the Atlantic, equally brilliant and authorita
tive in matters of science, whose faith in the
JjiWe has not been shaken by the most profound
explorations of nature. Surely, if Herschel,
Brews'te", Henry, and men of their stamp, find
no insuperable contradiction between the two
revelations, Mr. Arthur jmd ourselves may well
wait for further developments, beforji we jump
rashly to. the .'conclusion that there never was
such a historian as Moses. In order to the for
mation of a sound and correct opinion upon a
question of -so much moment, when once our
n rinds arc tempted into doubt, a thorough in
vestigation of both sides of the question, would
seem to be absolutely necessary. The distin
ir ished n.o lern philosophers whose names we
have mentioned," like Newton, Boyle, and others
of a former day, are well known to have em
braced; both science and religion in the com
prehensive circle of their studies, and have learn
'e.I'how to reconcile the apparent differences of
the two. The same can hardlv be said of the

tlie .Scriptures, as they have been profoundly
versed in th" mysteries of science and the lan
jjurige.of ruins.
We think we know a little of the cause, of
this ingrafting of "French skepticism upon the
tree of American puritanism. The Bible stands
stubbornly in the way of every species of ultra
ism. Fanatics of every class have battered it
and twisted it so as to compel it, if possible, to
testify in their favor; but it would not yield.
Now, they are beginning to disparage its claims,
to cast suspicion upon its authority, and substi
tute other authorities in its place. In all such
cases, when the Scriptures conflict with their
own opinions, the former kick the beam. It
. remains. to be seen how far the South will imi
tate this impious example. We trust it will be
ons before her sons consent to abandon this
great bond of social order, to which, more than
to all other instrumentalities,we owe the peace and
harmony of the Union, and upon which depends
the future weal of the republic.
ACTUN OFliEAMERICAN BOARD.
.We adverted last week to the proceedings of
the American Board of Commissioners for For
eign Missions, at its late meeting at Hartford,
"C.f., iu which it has "pleased that distinguished
body of Christian laymen and divines to take
another decided step against v. hat they , regard
as- the sin of slavery. It seems. that this Board,
wliich is a voluntary association formed by the
Orthodox Congivgationalists of New England,
the members' and clergy of the Dutch Reformep

'fign Missions in common, Ms a number ot mis- I Jemoeratic n politics, styled the " Xewbern

tion of Indians, mIio, in addition to their minis- tor and proprietor. We are pleased with the
tonal duties, are employed as teachers in certain
schools under the control of the government.
They are thus employed under a cm pact be
tween the Bo nd and the Council of the Nation.
Xejro slavery exists among the Choctaws, as it
dies in other parts of the Indian tenitory. Some
suspicion appears to have been excited within a
few years, with or without just grounds, ao-ainst !
..." e .i... ,!' ' 'e ii,..i i
bOHie t.'i Lilt: iui.?Mvuii 'Jii cin-vuiii. tiiitrii" i
interference with the institution of slavery; and
. . ..."
the excitement was increased by a circular letter
addi'"sscd to them by one m the secretaries of
the Board, in which strong" anti-slavery ground
was taken, and the missionaries instructed to
; jf the secretaries of!
act according to the principles it contained. For
some reason, the Board has carefully abstained
heretofore from any dim-1 approval of Mr. Treat's -
letter, and contributions from the South h:ave
continued to be " made to the common ftfnd.
Such is ihe extent of our acquaintance witli ihe
state of thiuo-s previous to the late meeting at
Hartford.
At this meeting the Board was informed that
the Council of the Choctaw Nation had recently
prohibited the instruction of slaves, mission
aries in the public schools. This act .seems
to have aroused that I enevolent body to a height
of indignation, and resolutions have been adopt
ed by a large majority, severing the conuection
between the. missionaries and the public schools,
-endorsing Mr. Treat's letter, and instructing the
missionaries to go farwaid preaching the gospel
" in all its applications to human character and
duty." This action amounts plainly in our view,
to a solemn declaration on the part of the Amer
ican' Board, that they claim the right of the
missionaries of the Board to act n-isrhool-mast rs
to the slaves of the Choctaws without the con-
sent of the Supreme Council or that of their
owners; in other words they deny the right of
said owners to choose the instructors of. their
slav.es. It is scarcely necessary to say tliat this
decision involves a principle which is false, po
litical'', morally, and religiously, and whjch
cannot be acknowledged in the South without
a .'shameful surrender of our rights.
The A'iiei'icnn Board lias now abandoned the
catholic, national ground 'it was originally 'de--sigued
to occupy, :tud indeutitied itself Avith' a
' section of the Union and a fanatical parti. It
cau no longer expect Southern meu to pour
' their funds iuto its coffers, and must be content
to lose a large part of that respect and venera
tion which its past usefulness has so nobly earn
ed. There are comparatively few in the South
-wh' will be embarrassed by its action. Nearly
. all our churches aud ecclesiastical bodies have
hoards and agencies of their own, and our peo
ple can continue to sustain the great missionary
work without the painful necessity of depositing
their alms with those wh ' would repay their
contributions with censure and rebuke. The
saddest consideration connected with these acts
of the American Board is, that, another bond of
Union and peace has been snapped and sundered,
bv the boisterous tempest of popular feeling in
Isew England. The American Board in
our honest opinion, yielded, like Pilafe, to the
demands of the public, rather than to any defi
nite demands of conscience and of duty.
jgr "We "have received a copy of a large and
; handsome new paper, the " National Monitor,"
published in New York every week at $3 per
; annum, and edited by Addison Fairnsworth. It
promises to be an independent literary jiaper,
aud one of a conservative character.
W The Petersburg Intelligencer, in an arti- j
- headed " Literature at the South," refers to
some receut taunts ot trie lribune, m r-fann
to the warm reception of Putnam's Magazine at
the South. The Intelligencer makes some quo
tations of & very insulting character from the
Tribune, and applies to them the following
remarks, which deserve'universal attention.
What ia remarkably curious too," it says, " in these
protests is that the literary patronage ol the South s a
matter of great moment." " These Southern
writers talk as if their subscriptions to a Magazine were
absolutely essential to its existence." " When they suc
ceed in giving an efficient support to a single Magazine of
their own, it will be time enough for them to brag oi thuir
literary benevolence and pecuniary magnificence." "Jer
shuan is waxing fat." After having for nearly hall a
century luxuriated upon Southern softness in the shape of
an enormous voluntary tribute which has built- up their
cities, and, nearly the whole stricture of their present
wealth and power, these Northern beneficiaries, if the
Tribune is to be believed, can now do very well without
us. A short time since that journal asserted with great
sangfroid that Southern merchant dared not to show
themselves in the sfeets of New York lest they might be
disagreeably reminded of their debts to the merchants
there. It is to be wished that these taunts and sarcasms
may have the efTect of rousing the South to a proper sense
of her dignity and true interests, and to the pursuit of a
wise policy in future. Let us, say we, give an efficient
support to our own literature and our own commerce,
which we have been so long and so suicidally neglecting
to do. Let us deal with the North in a way to convince
her that we are not aitoeether insensible or unworthy of
the vast resources and facilities with which natute has
supplied ijs for an independ.-nt commerce and an indepen
dent literature. Let us spend more of our money at home
and less abroad. We go for Southern Periodicals tor
Southern Books and for Southern Rights. We are not
for severing our connection with the North, but only
stripping it of its va.-alage. We are not for sundering
lies, dui ior DreaKing cnains we are not lor non-inter-

ACCIDENT ON THE CINCINNATI AND
DAYTON RAILROAD.
A CHILD KILLED AND THIRTY PERSONS INJURED
As Conductor Whitney's tr;iin on the Cincinnati,
Ham il ion and Dayton Railroad, due here at twen
ty minutes pastti-n o'clock this morning, was with
in about two squares of the -depot on Sixth street,
two passenger cars ran offalie track, and fell a dis
tance often feet into the Whitewater Canal, around
which the milroad company lias constructed a stone
embankment.
The train consisted of three passenger cars well
filled, and the barrgige car. It appears that the
cause of the accident was owing to an imperfection j
in the switch at that place it is a patent one, iind
although it had been adjusted, yet was about one ;
inch out of line. . The locomotive and tender pas-1
sed over safely: the baggage tar was thrown off
the rail, but remained on the embankment ; the
first and second passenger cars passed into th ca
nal, while the third ear remained on the track.
There were probably eighty passengers in the
two ears. There was some two or three feet water
in tlu; canal. Th; first ear fell ne;.r one hundred
yards from the second. The scene as described
by an eye witness, was one of the greatest con
sternation, there being a general inquiry for friends,
.shrieking among those injured, frantic cries from
those frightened, and the utmost confusion in the
attempts to rescue the unfortunate.
We visited the scene of the disaster in half an
hour after the occurrence and obtained all the in
formation we possibly could, Lut the following list

Both these persons are at Mr. Ilfdge, near the
canal, from whence they will soon be removed.

a German girl, had a large gash in her head,
jSimon Bach man, of Greenville, Ohio, had a fin

about (lu-k for his home, which was only about 7
miles distant, and situated on the London Bridge
road. About 9 o'clock p. m., his horse reached

YELLOW FEVER AT THE SOUTH.
EXCITEMENT AND FLIGHT FROM AUGLSTA.
The yellow ftyer panic is increasing and spread
ing throughout the South, though at Savannah and
Charleston, the disease is sieadihy on the decrease.
A telegraph dispatch, dated at Columbia, S. C,
Saturday, Sep., 23, says :
The telegraph offices at Augusta nnd Charleston
are shut up, and the office at Savannah lias been re
moved to the railroad depot in the suburbs of the
city. At Charleston, the principal operator, Mr.
Carpenter, died, and his assistant is now down with
the fever. At Augusta the operators became panic
stricken with' the people, and have left the of
fice. The panic at Augusta, which has always hereto
fore bee i exempt from the ravages of this awful
pestilence, was beyond description. I learn from
passengers direct from there, that nearly the whole
white population have abandoned ihe city, and the
country for miles around is covered with tents.
The fever is also represented as increasing among
those who remain, and the doctors have urged all
to fly from it who can possibly leave their homes.
The post office is closed, and the mails all delayed,
there being no one to distribute .them. No South
ern papers have been received at Columbia, since
Monday.
The interments at Savannah, on Thursday were
sixteen, including twelve of fever, showing a great
decrease. The deaths of the past week were 189,
including 130 of fever.
At Charleston there is no visible abatement of
the disease though it has not been so violent there
as at Savannah.
Alexander Carroll, Esq., of the Charleston Cour
ier, I am happy to learn, is again in good health,
his ailing having proved more manageable than the
pestilepee. The deaths at Charleston on Thursday
and Friday were 37.
On the 17th inst., when the steamer Weloka
passed Jacksonville Fla., from Savannah, on her
way up the river, the people were assembled on the
shore in a great state of excitement, with a cannon
and on the YVeloka attempting to land she was fir
ed into. A ball passed through the cabin, wound
ing one of the waiters, but doing no other damage.
The cause of this violent demonstration was the
fear that she was about to land a number of the
citizens of Savannah, who it is thought would bring
the yellow fever with them.
Columbia is still enjoying excellent health, and
no one fears the fever here. .
Personal Controversy Almost a Duel, Ac.
Philadelphia, Sep. 24th. A sharp personal cor
respondence has occurred between Senator Cooper
President of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, and
Morton McMichael, Esq., editor of the Philadelphia
North American, in consequence of articles pub
lished In that paper reflecting on the city subscrip
tion to the Erie and Sunbury Railroad as obtained
by f-ilse pretences and malversation. Mn Cooper
addressed a note asking Mr. McMichael if the lan
guage applied to him. - In r.ply Mr. McM. denied
his right to question him, but said that he Was le
gally, morally and personally responsible for that
as for everything that appears in the columns of
the North American.
Mr. Cooper then sent for the Hon. Win. Cost
Johnon, of Maryland, to act as his friend, who
was the bearer of the challenge to Mr. McM., who
asked two 'days for consideration. At the termi
nation of that time Mr. McM. declined the meeting
on the ground that it was his imperative duty as a
p u bite journalist to animadvert upon such transac
tions, and that he therefore could not be held per
sonally responsible.
Tue Price Raised. The proprietors of the En
quirer, limes, Commercial and Columbian, four
daily journals of Cincinnati, have combined to raise
the price of their papers from ten to twelve cen's
per week. They allege as reasons for the change
tfie fact that newspaper publishing is less profitable
than any other business requiring a similar outlay
of capital, talent and labor, the increase in the cost
of making newspapers owing to competition, the
rise in paper, wages, rents, fuel and provisions.
Some of the New York journals have ordered their
supply of printing paper from Eng'and, owing to
the high price of the raw material and' the lowness
of the water in the streams in this country.
Wr: made a visit on Friday last, in company with
others, to the Falls of Neuse, Wake Co., at which
the Mauteo Paper Mill Company have erected
buildings for the purpose of manufacturing paper.
The buildings are of stone, well constructed, and
admirably adapted to the purpose in view. They
are about 200 feet in length, and a part sixty feet
yi width. The supply of water will be ample at
aft tiies, and the mills can be operated during the
iji'ghest floods. Under the energetic management
f the company, these mills cannot fail to be profl
jjable. As an improvement they are highly credi
table in every lespect to the enterprise of the own
ers. We doubt whether there is any establish
ment of the sort in the country which surpasses
this for durability of construction, for adaptation o
the business to be carried on, or for the success Of
which it gives promise. f
An excellent barbacue was prepared on. Ihe oc
casion, to which the company did the fullest justice.

Another Instance of tape worm Ci;red by the use
og Dr. M'Lane's Cei.kbrated' Verjufuge. New York,
October 15, 1S52. This is to certify that I was troubled
with a tape worm for more than six months. I tried all
the known remedies for this dreadful affliction, but with
out being able to destroy it. 1 got one of Dr. M'Lane's
Almanacs, which contained notices of several wonderful
cures that had been performed by his celebrated Vermifuge
I resolved to try it, and immediately purchased a bottle,
which I took according to directions ; and the result was
I discharged one large tape worm, measuring more than a
yard, oesides a number of small ones.

P. S. Dr. M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, also his
Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable1 Drug Stores
in this city.
?f Purchdsers will please be careful to ask for, and
take none but Dr. M' Lino's Vermifuge. All others in
comparison, are wot thiols.
Medical Testimony Cannot be Controverted.
One of the most startling cases is narrated of Dr. Me
Laties Vermifii 'c by Dr. John Butler, of Lowell, Trum
bull Co., Ohio. The case was that of a vonng lady who
had been very sick for eight years, and had consulted a
number oi physicians, who had tieated it as one of Pro
lapsus Uteri. Dr. Uutier was then called in. and for a
time believed with his predecessors that it was a case of
I n lapsus. He was, however, soon forced to the eonclu- i
eion that his patient was suffering fr in worms, and after i
, , , , i j ..I
much persuasion, prevailed upon her to take two dos-s ot ;
Dr. M'Lane's Venniiuge. This medicine had the eflect
of removing from her a countless number of the largest i

turned.
She is since married, and continues to enjoy ex-

The Rev. John Cumming, D. D.,is now the great pul

years since But very different is the Doctor to that
strange, wouderfully eloquent, but erratic man. There
could not I v possibility be a greater contrast, i The one
all tire, enthusiasm, and semi-madness ; the other a man
ot chastened energy and convincing calmness.. The one
like a meteor, flashing across a troubled sky, and then van
ishing suddenly in the darkness ; the other like a silver
star, shining serenely and illuminating our pathway with
its steady ray. He is looked upon as the great champion
of Protestantism in its purest form. His church is dense
ly crowded by the must intellectual and thinking part of
that crowded city, while his writings have reached a sale
unequaled bv those of any theological writer pf the pre
sent day. His great work on the "Apocalypse,' upon
which his great reputation as a writer rests, having already
reached its 15th edition in England, while his "Lectures
