THE INDIAN SUMMER.

From the Salem (Mass) Register. Of Oct. 49,
There have been various specuations
in the papers AS to the caase of the re =
markable fuligious state Of the atmos-
phere with which we were developed
from Saturday m~rui"g lastto Monday
noon and which extended from Maine
TO New York. But we are persu AIDED
that we attributed tito the true cause in
our last, viz: the recent fires In the
woods of Maine. These fires have ex-
listed for most Of the season in yariouSg
parts of Maine, and the destruction in
the forest has been immense. The mas
tiers of several vessels which have ar.
rived here within few days, report that
the fires still continued, up to the end
of last week, to great extent. The
wind changed to the Northeast on FRI.
day night, propeling the clouds Of
smoke in this direction, and the long
continuance Of the wind in that quarter
cause II toestend to so great distance
in Southwesterly direction. The Ed
itor of the Eastern Argus, who return
ed few days since from tour in the.
Eastern part Of Maine, thus speaks Of
fine extraordinary fires in the forests OF
that State:
II never before saw the country for
so great an extent, 50 perfectly envelo-
ped in smoke. The drought has bees
very severe; the crops of wheat and
potatoes have suffered extremely, and
the fires have spread extensively in the
woods, destroying muehtimber, and ia
some places the dwellings Of the inha-
bitants. Several families were burnt
out at Maxfeld about thirty miles above
Bangor, some account Of which was
publishes in the papers two or three
weeks ago. l was told that fhe FIRE run
at that place with such rapidity, on
cleared land as well as in the forests.
that the inha bitants were in great dam
ger Of losing their lives, and somesuare
Obliged TO wade into the river MS far as
they could, holding their children in
their arms, to escape the fury Of the RAJ
ging clement
BY recent census, it appears that
the village Of Rochester, New York, has
au increase IF population Of more than
ONE THOUSAND, since February last.-
1t now contains five thousand two hun
dred and seventy-one Inhabitants
This very rapid increase of population
is entirely owing to the Erie Canal,
which passes through il, and has caused
the business Of the place to increase in
proportion.

THE ENGLISH PURITANs.

Extract from the EdlnDurSn heView.J
awe would speak first of the Puri-
tans, the most remarkable body of men
perhaps which the world has ever pro-
duced The odious and ridiculous
parts of their character lie on the sur
face. He that runs may read them;
nor have there been wanting attentive
and malicious observers to point them
out. For many years after the restora-
ton, they were the theme of unmeasu-
red invective and derision They were
exposed to the utmost RIGHTEOUSNESS
of the press and Of the stage, at time
when the press and the stage were
most licentious. They were not men OF
letters; they were as body unpopular;
the could not defend themselves; and
the public would not take them under
its protection They were therefore a.
bandoned, without reserve, to the ten
der mercies Of the satirists and drama
lists. The os'entatious simplicity Of
their dress, their sour aspect, their ma
sal twang, their stiff posture, their long
faces, their Hebrew names, the scrip
tural phrases which they introduced on
every occasion, their contempt of hu-
man learning, their detesta,ion of po-
lite amusements, were indeed fair game
for the laughers. But it is not from
the laughers alone that the philosophy
of history is to be learnt. And he who
approaches this subject should CAREFUL
ly guard agains: the influence OF that
potent rldieule which has already mis-
led so many excellentwriters.
Those who reused the people to re-
sistarfce; who directed their measures
through long series of eventful years;
who formed, out of the most unpromis-
ing materials, the first army that Eu-
rope had ever seen; who tram2led down
king, church, and aristocracy; who, in
the short intervals of domestic sedition
and rebellion, made the name OF Eng
land terrible to every nation on the
face of the earth, were no vulgar fana-
tics. Most of their absurdities were
mere external badges, like the signs Of
freemasonry, or the dresses OF friars.
We regret that these badges were not
more attractive. We regret that bo-
dy, to whose courage and talents man
kind has owed inestimable obligations,
had not the lofty elegance which dis
tinguished some of the adherents of
Charles l. or the easy good breeding
for which the court of Charles II. was
celebrated. But, if we must make our
choice, sc shall, like Bassinio in the
play, turn from the specious caskets,

possession of this blessed book; we
thank God for its gift, and it is our fer
vent and constant prayer that the time
nav soon come when all men in all
parts ofthe Earth shall possess it, un-
derstand it, and obey it.
We begin this church as practical
believers and defenders of the great
protestant. principle of the right Of pri-
yate Judgment in matters offaith. We
Weld up our right to understand and
interpret the sacred scriptures for our
selves, and to believe as we see evil
dence to preponderate this way or that,
to no man or number Of men; to no
church or council, synod or assembly
We think we are answerable 10 God
alone for the faith we adopt, or The faith
we reject, and that man has no power
to meddie in the case And we trust
, that from this place no man or woman
will be denounced for their faith in
Christ, be that.faith what it may. And
ere one such anathema should be ut
tered within these walls, we pray they
nav crumble to their foundations.
We build this church in perfect cha
ritv, We hope, with christendom and
the world, for we build it as christians;
and christians should love not only one
anothe~, bnt mankind. We wish in
deed that our own peculiar opinions
should every where prevail, for we be-
lieve Them to be the pure, undoubted
word of God; for we would not make
one convert by violence, or the sacrl-
flee Of peace An overheated zeal has
been a principal source Of the miseries
the church has endured. Christians
have been willing to propagate their o.
pinions at any cost, from mistaken ideas
of their importance. They have for
ced, not followed, Providence May
we avoid their error; and though per-
suaded that our opinions are true, and
important as true, and must ultimately
prevail, let us not hasten too fast, but
wait the fit concurrence Of time and
circumstances. God watches over his
truth and as he does over his material
creation, and in his own time, and in
his own way, will raise it to honor and
universal empire.
And now, brethren, / use the words
Of another on similar occasion: Let us
depart from this spot; from this holy
ground, set apart henceforth from or
binary uses, and consecrated to things
divine Where the Heavens now swell
above US, declaring their Makers glo.
ry, shall soon be interposed a roof of
human workmanship, beneath which
shall be declared the bright glory OF his
redeeming love. It shall intercept the
ligh, of yonder sun, whose beams shall
no more fall upon this place; but the
more reviving beams Of the Son OF
Righteousness shall rest there without
a cloud. The dews of night shall come
down upon this spot no more, and the
winds of the ocean shall henceforth be
| excluded; but the dews of divine grace,
as we trust, shall plenteously visit IL,
and the gentle breathings of the Holy
spirit shall never cease to shed upon it
life and peace. And from this place,
where now perhaps for the first time
the voice Of christian worship has as
cended to Heaven, there shall go up,
generation after generation, to the end
oftime, incense and pure offering from
multitudes of humble and believing
hearts"
