It proposes a Missionary Soci
ety for Richmond the city to
be divided into three wards, by
certain metes and boundaries,
&c. and agents to be appointed
to pay domiciliary visits, every
two weeks, for an hour or two
to each house to circulate and
read the bible, tooflor up pray
ers, to give moral advice, &o.
The names of three or four mi
nisters of the gospel, of differ
ent persuasions, have since been
named as the authors or aiders
of the scheme tlw
names of a few gentlemen, who
arc to patronize the association
and to assist in carrying its ob
jects in execution.
We hope the opposition, with
which this proposition has been
received by several of the most
enlightened citizens of Rich
mond, will nip it in the bud.
The people of Virginia arc dis
posed to cherish the gospel
the great mass of them visit
he temples consecrated to the
divinity. They have delighted
to listen to the admonitions of
different ministers of the differ
ent sects to the affecting ex
hortations of the venerable Bi
shop of the Episcopal church,
the erudition of a Rice, the elo
quence of a Broadus, the touch
ing enthusiasm of a Parks but
when they are asked to receive
the domiciliary visits of the mi
nisters of the churches, or their
agents, they will be apt to say
to them: "No, no, gentlemen
we must decline your proposi
tion. We esteem you as men;
we hearken to yuu at the chur
ches or at the lectures with the
respect which becomes your sta
tion. We will listen to your
arguments, in favor of that holy
religion which you preach to
men. But, we must decline
such visits as you propose. We
cannot consent, that you should
visit our households for the pur
pose of regulating our conduct
there or that of our families. It
looks too much like an Inquisi
tion, and we cannot consent to
the introduction of any thing
which looks like such an institu
tion. We must judge in these
respects for ourselves. The
.rrcat quality of the Virginians
is, that they dare to think for
themselves and this is said to
be the groat secret of the inde
pendence of their minds and
the firmness of their character.
While we yield all due defer
ence to the ministers of religion,
we cannot consent to become
their dependents." Rich.Enq.

lystock, witluio resource but to
throw himself on the protec
tion of Prussia, as Dvvernicki
threw himself on the nrotnetinn
of the Austrians. He has, how
ever, to cross the Bug and Na

side of him.
Ry this mastcrlv movement.
the Polish General has placed
himself in contact with the Sa-
mogitians, Lithuanians, and o-
ther revolted districts, by whose
i i . . r
population his army will be in
definitely augmented, so as to
leave to Diebitsch no prospect
of escape, but within the Prus
sian frontiers. The foreign
journals assert, he will endea
vor to reach Thome, in Prus
sia; but we expect he will seek
to cross the Rossoka, and avail
himself of its vast forests.
'Phe Messager de Pologne, a
Warsaw paper, announces that
Gen. Skryznecki had taken Os
trolenka on the Jotli May, where
he obtained a large sum of mo
ney, the baggage of the enemy,
and 1700 prisoners his aim
was to get between the Rus
sians and their supplies.
