CORRESPONDENCE.

~ trust you will take particular pains to
have your book correct; for the paper has lost
ground heretofore in this region on account
OF deficiency in bookkeeping, and many
subscribers suffered loss. Our subscribers
began at different periods-hence some care
Is necessary in order that each has his due"
Similar complaints have reached us from
different parts. We believe our immediate
predecessor to be correct accountant; but
1t IS evident that when the Telegraph books
came into his hands, they were in very bad
condition. People have right to complain
OF wrong suffered; but we hope that the sins
OF others will not be visited on our heads
We ask trial; and in the mean time will do
ourbest toprevent future cause of complaint,

Allow US to invite the attention of the
friends ofthe Telegraph to the following
from the New-Hampshire Baptist Regis
ter. The subject was touched upon in
former number of the Telegraph. After
all the individuals have subscribed for
the Telegraph who are able and DISPOSED
to have 1t, how many shall be sent to the
poor and destitute in our churches the
expense being betrayed as below suggested?
A New plaa-There are members Of

yet they would rejoice to read it from
week to week and learn the prosperity of
Chrlst's kingdom on earth; and, in these
families there are many chaildren and
youth who might also be profted Here
Is plan by which these destitute brethren
and friends might be supplied Let eve
ry church take the subject into considera-
ton and ascertain how many such there
are, and what number of the Register
would be required to supply them, and
then take up subscription, raise the a.
mount and order the papers for the year.
Let this plan be adopted, and the pious
hearts of hundreds in this State will be
made to rejoice, and no doubt thousand
children, who now but seldom read a re-
ilglous periodical, would soon be quite
impatient for the weekly visit of the Re

you may send intelligence, the princi-

POSTAGE. While we with pleasure
acknowledgethe honest, and honorable dis
charge of duty, practiced by MANY ofour
correspondents in paying their postage,
we have much cause of complaint of 9TH
erS. Unless the terms, in relation to this
thlng' specified at the head of our sheet
are ottener complied with, we shall be un-
DER the necessity of making the payment
OF postage an imperative condition to the
reception ofletters. We have paid some
dollars of postage during the first quarter
which oughtto have been paid by others
Take an instance or two: One man not
long since sent us one dollar note, postage
charged on letter and note. Another has
just sent us an obituary notice, no sigma
ture attached, postage charged. These
things are not right We would not COM
plain too sharply, presumine that manv of
these omissions are pure inadvertenencies
We have to charge ourselves with one in
advertence ofthe kind during the quarter
But it should be remembered that where
lnnumerable occurrences of this sort are
turned against one, he feels it severely.

FNNEY's LEcTUREs.-It was announced

would deliver another course of lectures
which would appear in the Evangelist
Two, on Christian Duty, are already on
hand; but from hasty perusal of them, we
believe that further extracts from the work
already begun will be more profitable to our
readers at present.

OF what has already appeared in the Tele-

I From Zion's Adrocnte. |

Peace If Noah's dove, with an olive
branch in her mouth dumbIy denoted peace
to the natural world from the deluge, con-
frmed by the bow in the clouds yet an
angel from on high first uttered it in vocal
strains among men on earth, at the birth of
Him who is emphatically styledthe Prince
Of Peace who came to preach peace to
them that were far and near, and bore away
the middle wall of strife between Jew and
Gentile-who said, blessed are the peace
makers, who therefore are alone his child
rem. Hence we ask, whose children are
those whose training and life is war, from
prince to peasant! Whence come wars and
fighting among you? Come they not from
your lusts? There, there you have it the
world over; besides Christ's Kingdom is
not of this world--if it were, he admitted as
natural consequence they would fight,
which he it is true had to forbid to one of
his ardent but uniformed Apostles, when he
raised his sword to cut offtheHigh Priests
servants ear, at the same time healing the
wound, reminding them that if necessary
or proper, prayer would bring l2legions of
angels to his aid, ordering the Apostles
sword toits sheath: he adds the consequence
of using it is generally to feel like violence
and no security therefore is afforded by it
If the weapons oftheir warfare are not car
nal how can christians take the sword?
RomGnism-The state of things in the
Roman Catholic States in Germany, indi-
Gated what Pinkerton relates of single
village shows the true tendency ofthis an
ti.christian system. The legends of saints
take the place of the scriptures, and idol
worship that of the true God. Pinker
ton says The image kept in the Monastery
ofEinsiedeln is visited annually byl50,000
pilgrims Twenty book-binders are con-
stantly at work, tofurnish copies ofthe des-
eriptionIof this image &c but all inquiries
in the town for Bible or New Testament
were fruitless: and were met with such re-
piles as the following This book is never
