RUMoR OF WAR. The brig. Jane, which
sailed from this port some months since,
with provisions for the Greeks, returned to
New York on Tuesday. She sailed from
Poros on the 18th of November, and from
Gibraltar on the Goth December. By the
Jane, letter has been received from the
house of Robert Anderson & Co. dated 22d
December, which states that the Grand
Seignior had declared War against Russia,
France and England. The house whence
this letter comes is of the greatest respect
ability. BY the same arrival, also, the ed
itors of the Commercial Advertiser have re-
ceived letter from Gen. jarvis, the Phil
hellenist, who is suffering with the Greeks
all the privations and dangers to which they
are subjected. 1t is dated castle of Corinth,
October 1897. Though we have no direct
letters from Greece proper, of later date,
it communicates no additional information.
He represents the army as being in great
distress for want of every kind of provis-
ions.
We also learn by this arrival that the
Allied squadron had sailed towards Con-
stantlnople, to intercept any Turkish vessels
that might be proceeding from that port.

candid and rejecting, it seems to promise re-
lief which can be hoped for in no other way
and, although limited in its operations, the good
it has already been able to effect, is highly
encouraging consideration, and sufficient to in
spire its friends with confidence, and to stimu-
late them to increased exertion.
The last semi-annual meeting was holden at
Washington, on the 10Th ult. Mr. Clay, Secre-
tary OF State, presided. The following were
among the resolutions passed
Mr.. Latrobe submitted the following resolu-
ton, which he accompanied with an address of
great interest, in which he pointed out the me-
cessity of calling, at future period, greater
means into action for the purposes of the Soci-
ETY., than were now within their power
Resolved, That the Board Of Managers be
requested to ascertain, in the course of the
present year, if possible, the practcability of
obtaining Territory for Colonial establishments
at Cape Palmas and the Island of Bulama, on
the southwest coast of Africa.
MIR. Harrison from the Society of Lynch
burg, Virginia, accompanied the following res
olutlon with an address of considerable length,
IN WHICH he drew, with much felicity, line
betwixt those shareholders who considered
their slaves in the light in which the primitive
hluhdPperS viewed them-and those who, YIELD
ing to system of which they were neither the
founders or the willing agents, desired to anne
liorate the situation of those dependent beings
who were placed within their power:
Resotced, That, after an experience of elev-
en- years, this Society are this day more than
ever convinced of the practicability of their
plan, and assured that patriotism and humanity
alike urges them on to renewed applications
tor contribution from the public and private
wealth of the country
Mr. q w. P. Cpstis, in presenting the fol-
lowing resolution, in speech of some length,
IN warm strain of eloguence, eulogized the
designs of the Society and, from what had al
ready been done, expressed high anticipations
of its future beneficial results He remarked
upon the gradual diminution of prejudice and
enmity towards the object of the Society, and
expressed firm belief that its liberal views,
and benevolent designs, would still further ex-
tend themselves among individuals now rank
ing as its enemies He then submitted the
following resolution
ReSolocd, That this Society is confirmed in
the opinion heretofore expressed, that the form
alton Of Auxiliary State Societies throughout
the Union, with subordinate Associations in the
several counties or towns of each State, is an
object of vast Importance, and deserves the
consideration of all the friends of the institu-
ton.

BEARS. Sometime in September last, Mr.
Colard Snow, of Bucksport, whose corn had
been destroyed by Bears, went into his field in
the night to watch for and punish those ma
rauders; after waiting some time and not per-
ceiving any, he took turn round the field and

opportunity to fire-one of them, which turned
out to be large she Bear, ae fred at, and shot,
at the foot of a large Hemlock tree, but she

THE AMERICAN coLoNIzATroN SOCIETY

THE AMERICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY.
While our Southern brethren acknowledge
that slavery is great evil, to be tolerated only
because necessary; while all portions of the
country are suffering in greater or less degree
from its consequences and while, during eve-
ry session of Congress, we find no inconsidera-
BILE portion Of its time consumed in debates on
subjects, irritating in their nature, and on points
often difficult Of adjustment, which have their
origin in the existence of this evil, we turn
with interest to the proceedings of the Coloni-
cation Society. This institution, established
for the purpose of procuring gradual reduc-
ton of the black population, embraces in its
consequences melioration, not only Of the
condition of the slave, but that of the master,
and the improvement of that of free people of
color, who choose to avail themselves of its
benefits. 1t is founded on principles SO unex-
ceptonable, that few, even of those most jeal-
Gus Of Interference in whatever relates to this
subject, are disposed to cavil at it. 20 the
