withdraw christian fellowship from her. For what? Because she had gone to the table of the Lord, and partaken of the emblems of her Saviour's broken body and shed blood, with the Presbyterians of this village; saying further, 'we do not consider them to be a gospel church.' I would be glad to live in peace with Elder D. and his adherents. Elder D talks about charity and peace-let him manifest it. - Before i came to live in the village, the Elder conducted a Magazine. Bishop Hobart and the Episcopal church, were castigated by his restless pen. When will men, well off learn to let others alone? Upon my word, I desire to live in peace with Elder D. and his adherents. But whilst he pursues the course he does, he may look for peace, but will never find it. To be candid and honest, I can never be at peace with his practices. Can I fellowship a man, who declares boldly, that my Baptism is not Baptism? Can I fellowship a man who rejects all but his own kind of People from the Lord's table! Can I unite with a man who rejects infants from covenant with God by Baptism? A man who exercises an office for which I consider he was never apostolically set apart?
Lest any man who should object to the testimony of Mosheim, and Milner, I will give a quotation from Dr. Gill, one of the most learned Baptists ever boasted of; "That from the fourth to the eleventh century of the christian era, he is  unable to find one instance of an opposer to infant baptism." Here then is a period of seven hundred years in which there is no evidence of the existence of a single Baptist church, or single individual Baptist. The Elder may lash the P.E. Church till his hands and his heart are sore - she sill stand. He may may create a strong prejudice against her, but her course is onward. The gates of Hell shall not prevail against her, much less human efforts. After all that is said and done, I take courage. But a few years since, the Baptists used their utmost to keep as much aloof from the practices of the church as possible. They now are awakening up to good things. Confirmation was once thought to be a Popish rite. Some of those now use it, and call it scriptural. The following may be found in a book entitled "A confession of Faith, set forth b thye Elders and brethren of many congregations of christians, baptized upon profession of their faith - adopted upon profession of their faith - adopted by the Baptist Association of Philadelphia."- "On laying on of hands - We believe that laying on of hands, with prayer, upon baptized believers, as such, is an ordinace of Christ, and ought to be submitted unto by all such persons as are admitted to pastake of the Lord's Supper, and that the end of this ordinance is not for the extraordinary gifts of the Spirit, and the influences thereof; to  confirm, strengthen,, and comfort them in Jesus; it being ratified and established by the extraordinary gifts of the Spirit, in the primitive times, to abide in the church, as meeting together on the first day of the week was - that being the day of worship, or Christian Sabbath, under the gospel; and as preaching the word was, and as baptism was, and prayer was, and singing of pslams was, so this of laying on of hands, for as the whole gospel was confirmed by signs and wonders , and divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost in general, so was every ordinanc in like manner confirmed in particular." I conclude - May I not be compelled to take up my pen again this disagreeable subject. I hope that the elder will no assert that Episcopalian are opposed to revivals of religion and the doctrine of the new birth. Empie and all Churchmen believe - "That those who are destitute of real piety, though members of the visible church by baptism, are not members of the invisible kingdom of Christ - Nor can can they ever be admitted into that kingdom, either here or hereafter, unless they repent and turn to God." I again say - the Church challenges criticism. As Churchmen, we appeal to the Bible and Book of Common Prayer - in those Books our doctrines are found. 
If any person, or persons, are desirous to know the truth of the remarks concerning the Elder's letters to Mr. Judd - the letter to Mrs. B. and other letters named, I hold myself ready to produce them - or to publish them, just as may be. For the time I have occupied my reader, he has my thanks - I will not say that I have troubled him - no - because I believe he entitles me to the privilege of defending myself from the attack of the Elder. Every one knows that the Elder wrote without provocation - that in the piece he professes to answer, there was not one word about Revivals, nor Baptism. He faults me for lending  books. We must live in terrible times to be sure, when a man is to be arraigned before the public, in a newspaper, for letting a book. 
Yours, very respectfully.
S. MARKS.
GREAT WESTERN RAIL-ROAD.
A petition was presented in the Assembly on Monday last, signed by Morgan Lewis, Stephen Whitney, and other of our substantial citizens, in favor of the projected Rail Road from this city to Lake Erie. Many similar petitions are omw in the course of receiving signatures here, and will be forwarded to Albany. - The proposed route of this road is from the southerly line of the State, in the county of Rockland, through the south-western tier of counties, to Lake Eris - striking the Lake at some point between Cattaraugus and the Pennsylvania line. The objects of bringing the road down to the southerly line of Rockland are - first, because at that point, about the Tappan Sea, the Hudson is never - or so rarely that we may say never - frozen; and that steamboats and other craft can ply between it and the city at all times of the year, winter and summer; secondly, that inasmuch as the Legislature of New Jersey have, it is believed, already authorized the construction of a Rail Road from Patterson to the northern line of that state, the Erie road might there be made to connect with it, and thus by means of the Patterson Rail Road, make a continuous chain down to the Hoboken, opposite the city. so, as to the object of striking Lake Erie, so far to the South, the distance is thereby lengthened; but the important end would be attained of having an open navigation of the Lake in the Spring and Fall some weeks longer, perhaps, than if the point of termination were further to the northeast. Thus  much as to the two extremes of this projected Rail Road. The region through which it is to pass, and which, if we  may use with regard to such an outlet, the term applied to rivers it would drain, is populous, fertile, and vastly varied in its productions. Not the least important of these would be the articles of coal; for besides crossing the track of the Lackawanna coal, it would almost touch upon a range of country in Pennsylvania, abounding in bituminous coal, which hitherto has not been able for want of an outlet to find its way to market.  This consideration will be very sensibly felt just now, when winter has just come back upon us with all its rigors, and without any new supply of fuel having been received: since, if such a road be once established, the supply would be as regular and as cheap, or almost so, in winter as in summer. - The counties through which this road would pass, are all alive to the benefits they would derive from it; and if seconded by this city, which has, after all, the greatest comparative interest in promoting such enterprises, because each one of them pours fresh treasures into her lap, - it will undoubtedly be undertaken - provided always the Legislature shall sanction it. It is possible the objection may be made, that such a road, if perfected, might divert a great part of the Ohio trade, and through the Seneca Lake and other sources, much of the produce of the more northern counties, from the Canal, and thereby impair its revenues. Even if this were certain, it should form no obstacle on public grounds, to refuse the application, because that route which is shortest and cheapest must eventually be most advantageous, both to individuals and the state. But the truth is, the actual surplus of our canal fund, and that which would still accumulate before the completion of the New York and Erie Rail Road, should suffice to allay any uneasiness about the ability and indeed facility of shortly redeeming the canal debt, even though after the construction of such a Rail Road as is here in question, the tolls should be materially diminished. 
From these considerations, we cannot but think the project of a Rail Road from the banks of the Hudson to Lake Erie, is entitled to the support of our citizens, and to such a degree of favor from the Legislature, as that they will permit those who are willing to spend their money on such an undertaking, to do so, under the protection of an act of incorporation. - N. Y. Amer.
THE TARIFF.
The "woollens' advocate" undertakes to give a lecture to Judge Wilkins, Senator in the United States Senate from Pennsylvania, reminding him of a supposed duty to the woollen aristocrats. We can assure the "advocate" that Judge Wilkins is perfectly aware of his position - and that he knows his duty to his country without further instruction from the woollen state clubs organizing throughout the Atlantic cities. He is not the man - nor is Pennsylvania the state to be dictated to by Alexander H. Everitt and his club of woollen aristocrats, who intrigued during the recent Tariff Convention, to get up the recent Clay Convention and put down Andrew Jackson. The Woollens Advocate and its managers may coax and flatter and cry up Mr. Clay, but their coquettings are thrown away upon such independent men as Judge Wilkins and his associates, or we are much mistaken in their patriotism and worth. The harmony of all the great interests of this country depends on the approaching settlement of the tariff - the woollens' aristocrats, joined to the Clay politicians, want to sow discord and dissatisfaction. Judge Wilkins, Mr. Dallas, Mr. Dickerson are not the men who will countenance such tricks and manoeuvres. We predict that Pennsylvania will come forward with that dignity and moderation which are her own, and setting aside the insiduous movements of Mr. Clay and the opposition, will support a scheme of compromise which will quiet the present excitement throughout the nation. - Cou. & Enq.
THE EPIDEMICS.
There are two epidemic which have prevailed to a great extent, of late, throughout the United States; one is the Influenza, and the other is the American System Fever. Both diseases had their origin in a vatiated state of the atmosphere, it being well known that a bad state of the political atmosphere can generate an epidemic as readily as a bad state of the physical atmosphere. Happily for the country, both diseases are now moderating in their symptoms, although it is possible that they may assume new forms and cause a great deal more mischief. To those who wish to study the history of these two complaints which have been so fatal to many, to become acquainted with their character, and to understand the means of curing them, we recommend the following two works, viz:
'An account of the origin, symptoms, and cure, of the Influenza, or Epidemic Catarrh; with some hints respecting common Colds and incipient Pulmonary Consumption," - just published by Henry H. Porter, at the Literary Rooms, No 1221 Chesnut Street, Philadelphia: and "The Banner of the Constitution," a periodical paper, which, we trust, by the continued aid of those who contribute to its columns, and the punctuality of those who read them, will be able to administer to the public the best means of promoting the health of the body politic, so long as a symptom of the political influenza prevails. - Banner of the Constitution. 
Foreign Intelligence. 
The New York Courier & Enquirer of Feb. 2d says - We stop the press to announce the arrival of the ship North American, Capt. MACY, from Liverpool, with London dates of the 30th and Liverpool of the 31st December. She was boarded by our News Collector 30 miles to the S.E. of the Hook. 
The discussion in the French Chambers of Peers on the abolition of an hereditary Peerage, had been carried on with much vigor. A private letter states that the final discussion closed on the 27th inst, and that the chief article of the ministerial project abolishing hereditary succession, was adopted by a majority of 103 to 67. The young Duke of Montebello (a son of Marshall Lasnes) violently opposed the measure, to the great surprise of every body. 
General Sebastiani, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs was seriously ill and unable to attend to the duties of his office. The President of the council. M. Perier was appointed to perform them during the illness of Mr. Sebastiani. 
Some disturbances had taken place in the province of Luxembourg, which by the articles agreed upon by the London Conference, it will be recollected, was partly to belong to Holland and partly to Belgium. A body of 500 men had taken arms in favour of the pretensions of Holland and some blood had been shed. Apprehensions are expressed that the settlement of the disputes between the two countries would in consequence become more difficult. The King of Holland continued to refuse his adhesion to the terms of the conference. 
An extensive and destructive fire had taken place in Liverpool. The loss is estimated at 20,000l. The premises of Messrs. Bateman, & Co. general brokers, were destroyed. 
A loan for Belgium to the amount of two millions sterling, has, it is said, been taken by the Rothschild. 
A party under the command of General Torrijes, having Gibraltar for the purpose of landing in Spain and overthrowing the existing government, was driven on shore by some Spanish Gurds at Costas five leagues to the west of Malaga, where they were surrounded by a large body of troops, and compelled to surrender. Orders were despatched from Madrid for their immediate execution, and the whole party, amounting to 53, were shot including an Englishman, whom the representations of the British Ambassador could not save. 
Nothing further had been done in relation to the Reform Bill. A persuasion seems gaining ground that it will now succeed in the House of Lords without much opposition. 
The expedition against Don Miguel had not yet sailed. The Congress frigate, which forms part of it, had, it was reported, been lost; it turned out, however, not to be true; it took its rise in the circumstance of a part of the crew, composed of English sailors, refusing to do duty. The Marquis Palmella had arrived at Paris, where Don Pedre still remained. 
The President's Message had reached England, it is highly spoken of in the London journals. United States Bank Stock, it will be perceived by our quotations, had risen £2 a share in London.
The Cholera appears to be spreading in every direction. It had reached Walesend, broke out at Gateshead on the south side of the Tyre. In 45 hours - 119 persons living there were seized with the disorder. 
The 'Sun' of the 29th says, the latest accounts respecting the Cholera are most frightful - most appaling! The plague is traversing the north with a giant's speed, and more than a giant's energy. Young and old - the feeble and the strong - the dissolute and the abstemious - all fall before it. It is now at the gates of Edinburg; at Haddington, at which place three deaths have already occurred. But at Gateshead, the mortality is terrific. The pestilence rages in every quarter of the town, and the inhabitants are completely panic struck.
Gleanings. 
We understand, says the New York Gazette, a proposition is about being presented to Congress by some wealthy gentlemen of this city for a National Bank, the parent institution of which shall be located here, and all the bills, wherever issued, made payable here. 
The entire population of Lower Canada is now ascertained to be 611,917, being an increase since 1825, of 88,287.
U.S. MINT. - A Philadelphia paper speaking on the subject of the mint, states that the coinage of the past year amounts to a little short of four millions of dollars, and consists of upwards of eleven millions of pieces, viz: 
Half Eagles 140, 594
Quarter Eagles 4,520
Half Dollars 5, 873,660
Quarter Dollars 398,000
Dimes 771, 350
Half Dimes 1,242,700
Cents 3.350,260
Half Cents 2.200
Of the gold coined, 26,000 dollars worth was received from Virginia, 295,000 from North Carolina, $176,000 from Georgia, and a little from Alabama and Tennessee.
POOR OF NEW YORK. - A report made to the house of representatives states that 15,564 paupers have been relieved or supported in the several counties during the past year. Of this number 13,573 were county paupers and 1990 town paupers. The whole expense of supporting them was $245,433. The value of all the poor house establishments in the state (land, buildings, &c.) is $830,350. The average expense of supporting a pauper at a poor house is 65 cents per week. Nearly 3000 of the paupers are foreigners. 
SHAKERS. - There are now 14 Shakers confined to the county jail of Albany, for not performing military duty, or commuting according to law. The law of New York requires persons who are averse to bearing arms, from scruples of conscience, and who refuse personal military service, to pay annually four dollars each for exemption. The Shakers refuse both to bear arms and to pay the four dollars. The 14 persons imprisoned petitioned Gov. Throop to be discharged, and he replied that he could not comply with their request; that such an exercise of power would render null both the statute law and the constitution. 
NEW YORK CANAL TOLLS. - The following is the amount of the tolls collected on the New York canals, in the year 1831, as reported by the commissioners of the canal fund to the legislature.
Erie Canal $1,091,714 26
Champlain Canal 102,896 23
1,194 610 40
Oswego Canal 16,271 10
Cayuga and Seneca Canal 12,920 39
Total collections of tolls for the year $1,223,801 93
LIBERAL SUBSCRIPTION. - Mr. McClure, of Newport, Kentucky, on the 27th ult. enclosed to the Treasurer of the American Colnization Society, a bank Check for $1000, and subscribed a like sum to be paid annually for 10 years, to aid the Society in their laudable object. The mark of liberality and philanthropy deserves the admiration of the American people, and is worthy of limitation. 
The Portland Daily Advertiser states that a new emission of counterfeits are in circulation in that place, on the Eagle Bank, Boston, No. 3104, payable to R. Emmons, dated Sept. 4, 1829. - The paper and engraving are both bad; the signatures both well executed, and calculated to deceive. 
PULPITS. - Originally all pulpits faced the west, that the eyes of the congregation might see all acts of devotion and looks towards the east, whence the Sun of Righteousness arose. The first deviations from this rule were introduced by the puritans, and the first chapel erected south and north was the chapel of Emanual College, Cambridge, founded by Sir Walter Mildmay, a distinguished leader of that sect. 
In the state of New York there are sixty-nine solvent banks, and the whole amount of banking capitol, actually paid in, is $24,133,260.

The manufacture of Silk is carried on to a great extent in China and the East Indies, Spain, Italy, and Southern parts of France, Austria and Russia. It is the most extensive and important manufacture in Spain and the south of France. In the city of Lyons alone it employs 60,000 persons.
The State of Ohio has now within her limits 343 miles of navigable canals, constructed at the public expense, and owned by the State.
Joanna Clue, who has recently rendered notorious by the charge of poisoning her husband in Philadelphia, and whose case, while before the court excited such general interest, expired on Friday afternoon, very suddenly. The immediate cause of her decease was a fit of apoplexy.
The sudden death of Mrs. Booth in Franklin Co. Alabama, one day after her marriage, has been mentioned.

MILITARY FINES. - Fourteen persons of the society of Shakers, at Watervliet, were, on Tuesday, committed to the jail in Albany, for non-payment of military fines. Their confinement will be for 14 days, unless the military authority shall sooner remit the penalty. 
SCOTCH PRIDE. - A carter in one of the ports in Scotland, had the misfortune to back his horse and cart, over the pier - the horse was drowned and the cart broken. When the merchants of the town heard of the accident, they kindly resolved to assist the poor man to obtain another horse and cart, because he had always been very steady and industrious. But lo! when they told him they were about to raise a subscription for him, the honest man scratched his head and said - "no, gentleman, I'am muckle obleeged to ye for yuor guede will, but I canna consent to be begget for yet. Ye see the wheels o'the cart are no broken, nor a bit the waur, and the sheen [shoes] of the horse are, a'four, as gude as new; and I have just ta'en aff his skin, and selled it to a guede market; and so with the siller for it, and the little I laid up for a rainy day, I'll just try to do for myself aince mair.

Hon. James L. Edwards-
Sir-I enclose you two affidavits to made before two of the Judges of our County Courts, establishing the day and year of the death of Lt. David Dimock - and that Davis Dimock is his only Surviving child. I  left at our office, among other papers, the testimony of N. Scott, Esq. a Justice of the Peace in this county, touching the same points, as also that of Davis Dimock. Your letter requires "very satisfactory evidence of the day of Dimock's death" - and I enclose you also, a copy of the newspaper published in our Borough and county in Feb. 1832 containing the record of his death, which you will see marked thus ( ) 
If the Campaign in Vermont commenced in January, 1781 - S't. Dimock served throughout that year according to the Certificate forwarded, and six months and twenty days in 1782. making more than 18 months service in all as a S't., your letter credits him with but Seven months and 18 days in 1781. Now, as he received for his Services in the first campaign - that is - ending 30th June, 1781 - £15=11s=9 1/4 (fifteen pounds, eleven shillings and nine and one quarter pence) and as five pounds eight Shillings, was the rate of his pay per mo. he must have served at least three months - in the first campaign, and 168 days in the second campaign of 1781 - making about nine months at best, instead of Seven mo and 18 days Service in 1781. I would res-
Page 19

[handwritten letter]
pectfully call your attention again to the Certificate of the Secretary of State of Vermont, as to the time of his Service in 1781. 
The enclosed affidavits are not made in "open Court," as our Courts are not now in Session, and will not be until the last of August - but are made, one before the President Judge, and the other before one of the Associate Judges, which, I trust will ensure the requirements of the Department, as the certificate of the Prothonotary, with the Seal of the Court, is attached
I have the honor to be, Sir, very truly Yours

I have examined the the documents remaining in this Office, and do not find any pay-rolls of the Company, in which he is said to have served - but find an account with Cap.

In "Haskell's Receipts," I find an account headed "The United States D'r. To the State of Connecticut for Bounties &c. paid to Short Levies who served in Connecticut Line of the Continental Army in the years 1777&1778", in which account, David Dimmick's name appears as receiving, a Bounty of £3.0.0 - And as belonging to the 1st Regiment, commanded by Colonel Huntington.

John B. Dimock,
Attorney and Solicitor,
NO. 89 RANDOLPH STREET, 
Chicago, Sept. 5, 1881

The Honorable The Commissioner of Pensions, 
Dear Sir - 
Some thirty years ago, and upwards, I forwarded to the Pension Department, from my then residence in Montrose, Pa. the Commission of my Grandfather, David Dimock, granted by Thomas Chittenden, Governor of Vermont, creating him a Lieutenant, in the Vermont troops, War of the Revolution, which Commission 
I furnished the Department as proof, I think, of identity, That Commission was given me, as a Keepsake by my Grandfather, in his lifetime, and I parted with it with regret, from necessity, to conform to some requirement of the Pension Office as I now recollect. It performed its function, the officer's Pension due my father Davis Dimock, as his heir, was obtained, and that Commission can be of now service, or ability, as an office paper. May I not therefore, ask you to cause it to be returned to me, at my present address? The name
Page 39

[handwritten letter]
in the Commission my be spelled David Dimmick, as it was often so written, & generally so pronounced, even to the present day, and possibly might have been so written by himself, at that time. 
I would be most happy to be repossessed of it, that is, may remain an "heirloom" in my family (he was a Sergeant in the Continental line of Connecticut troops (Col. Byrley I think) previously, and for several years drawn a pension of $96.00 per year and ['after' crossed out] just before his death a law was passed granting pensions to state troops, and I afterwards applied for and obtained for my father,, the difference between the private & officers pension, for part of the year 1812, I think. He served seven years continuously during the Revolutionary War, a fact which we cherish with great pride, as you may well understand
Hoping you  will promptly comply and that the long-parted with an greatly prized Commission my be retained to me, 
I am, dear Sir, with high consideration Your obedient &c

Dear Sir-
I have the honor to enclose you the Certificates you required from the Comptroller
of Connecticut and the Secretary of State of
Vermont in relation to the service of Lt. David
Dimock in the Revolutionary War. The Certificate of the Secretary of State of Vermont furnishes the evidence that David Dimock held a Commission as Lieutenant, in which capacity he performed Eighteen months and twenty days service, in the army of that State, during the Revolutionary War.
The Certificate of the Comptroller of Connecticut does not specify the length of time, nor the grade of service of Sgt. David Dimock but furnishes satisfactory evidence that he served in the Army of that State, in the Revolutionary War. It  States that Capt. Edward Ells did not furnish to the department, a copy of the master roll of his Company
but that he drew the pay for his whole company and settled that with the members himself, and that Capt. Ells belonged to the Regt. commanded by Col. Comfort Sage By reference
to the Documents which I left in your care you
will find the Warrant appointing David Dimock 1st Sergeant in Capt. Edward Ells company which warrant is signed by Comfort Sage as Colonel of the Regiment, & dated 26th Sept. 1776
The Certificate further sets forth, that there are
Page 53

evidences of the Service of David Dimock in another Regiment one Commanded by Col. J. Huntington, in 1777 & 1778.
I have do doubt the Certificate is sufficiently clear and satisfactory to meet the requirements of your department yet, if anything further is desired to be known, would respectfully refer you to the files of your department as evidence of his service in the Connecticut line was furnished the department, and under it, he procures a pension of $96 a year under the act of 1818.
If the papers now furnished are now deemed
satisfactory, you will be good enough to forward
me at this place, the proper certificate for the amount to which he would, if living, be entitled, including the interest thereon since March, 1831, if that is practicable
I have the honor to be
Sir in haste

Montrose, (Pa.) 25th July, 1836-
Dear Sir--
I recently received from Gen. S. Cameron
of the U.S. Senate a letter enclosing yours to him, in relation to ┃
the Pension of David Dimock. I am under the impression
the then
that the Acts of Congress in the heirs of Lt. Dimock to
additional pay, on account of his services and rank in the army of 
the Revolution. The case stands thus:
In September, 1776. David Dimock was appointed by Comfort
Sage, Col. of Regiment, Second Sergeant in the 7th Company
a
of said regiment, command by Capt. Edward Eells. For this service
