Beloved Brethren Since l arrived in
India have not been able to write as many
letters to you, either collectively or individ-
ually, as had intended. 1t is believe
somewhat over year since the date of my
last letter to you. This has been partly
because have had nothing interesting to
communicate, and partly because did not
know where to direct to you, having heard
of the removal Of your Secretary from
Brandon. But my heart is as sincerely
attached to you, my dear brethren, as ever
yea more, may truly say, than ever it was
before. Often do my thoughts turn away
from this distant land, covered with the yet
unbroken shades of heathenism, and my
heart longs for the dear Christian society of
my native mountains-I long for the return
of those happy hours when '';5we took sweet
counsel together, and walked unto the
house of God in company" Those scenes
have passed away, they are. gone, all hope
of again beholding your faces in the flesh
lis extinguished forever. The thought is
sometimes almost overwhelming. But a

LOSS OF LIFE BY WAR.

Only a small part Of the victims in war
perish by the cannon and the sword. In
France, the mortality among soldiers, gen
orally in youth or middle life, was found TO
be even in peace nearly twice as great as
among galley-slaves! In a Gme Of war
they live on an average about three years !;
and even in peace their life is probably
shortened fifteen or twenty years. Their
exposures, hardships and diseases often
sweep them away like dew before the sun,
in some cases one half, in others three
fourths, in another still nearly nine-tenths {!
How it destroys even peaceful inhabitants!
In the war of 1856, there were in one in
stance no less than twenty contiguous viii
lagos left without man or beast An eye
witness Of the French butcheries in Portu-
gal says, "the bitches along the line of
their march were often literally filled with
clotted and coagulated blood as with mire !;
the dead bodies of peasants, put to death
like dogs, were lying there horribly man
gled; little naked infants, Of year old or
less, were found besmeared in the mud of
the road, transfxed with bayonet wounds :;
and in one instance saw child not more
than a month old, with the bayonet still
sticking in its neck"
Look at the havoc Of single battles-at
Austerlitz; 10000; at Dresden, 10000; al
Waterloo, 10000; at Eylan, $4,000; at
Borodino, $4,000. Still worse in ancient
times,-at Issus, 10000; at Arbela, 3oo,-
600; in one battle of Cesar, 363, 900; and
in another 100000 Of the enemy alone; in
the siege of Jerusalem more than a million,
and in that Of ancient Troy not less than
two millions In the Russian campaign
there persisted in six months, more than
half a million, and during twelve years of
the recent wars in Europe, no less than

more than 5000, 900, was reduced in less

REVIVAL IN BosToN-We are happy
in being able to state that the good work
of grace in this city, to which we have at
different times alluded, still continues, and
with increasing interest. 1t commenced
10 the month Of August Its first mani
festation was the prevalence of a spirit Of
prayer; and an increase of prayer seems
10 have been almost the only extra means
employed. The work in its more obvi-
Gus and powerful development appeared
in the moth part of tine city, in the con-
gregation under the pastoral care ofthe
Rev. Mr.. Stow, but is now enjoyed to a
greater or less extent, by each OF the Bap-
fist churches in the city, and we believe
as before stated, has extended 70 almost
every evangelical church in the city,
We hope and pray that these gracious
influences may be continued for though
many have already been made the sob
jects of renewing and sanctifying grace,
multitudes, it is certain, are yet in their
sins Chr Watch. AK .@@ ~ .-~

"I do not like you, Doctor Fell,
The reason why, cannot tell,
But l. don't like you, Doctor Fell"

Since the establishment of the Native Ameri-
can Association, its members have been the OBJ
jects of the most vehement and unceasing abuse.
The lowest and most vulgar epithets have been
applied to express their hatred, and the vocabu-
lazy of billingsgate has been exhausted by every
class of Foreigners, learned and unlearned refined
and vulgar, from the inmates Of the halls of learn
ing to the frequenters of the lowest description of
tippling houses, to excite i'll will towards the As
sociation, and cover the individual members of it
with odium. And what have the members Of the
Association done to excite this bitter hostility =
They have chosen to consult the permanent inte-
rests of their own country and their own country
men, in preference to those of foreigners. They
have sought to place the institutions of their own
native land in a condition of permanent security,
by entrusting the elective franchise to those only
who are under natural obligation to preserve it
in its purity, or who have given au1eq1iUocal
proofs of sincerity in their adoption of this coun-
try as their own. They believe and have avow-
ed, that no man of foreign birth ought to be fully
enfranchised until he has lived as long under our
government as those born within our territory.
At taUe,aty years of age, an American is not enti-
tied to the right of suffrage, matter what his
learning or wisdom, no matter what the amount
of his stake in the commonwealth, and no matter
what his sacrifices or how great the services he
may have rendered to his country against its for
eign enemies. Still he must wait until every
day, nay, every hour of his tUenty-one years has
rolled round. We believe that foreigners should
be subject to the same law. We say that it is
not only unsafe to institutions, but un Just to
our own people to provide more favorable or
more intlulgent rule for them than for ourselves.
We have repeatedly called upon those opposed
to us, to forbear their vituperaon and discuss
the question-to meet us in fair argument and
vanquish us if they can Still they decline the
encounter, and vile and unseemly abuse is the on
ly argument resorted to. In truth, they know
that we are .arm'd so strong in honesty
our cause is so Just, that no argument can be
found to overthrow us. They hate us, and they
know not why; and all that can be said by them,
is said in the quotation at the head of this article.
