The following extracts of a letter from the Indian
agent at Fort Gibson TO the Commissioner of Indian
A fTairs, will show that these immense quantities Of
supplies sent there unnecessarily and were,
scquently sold at great sacrifice. The agent says
But whatever be the apology of the measure in
question: whether il be Ignorance of the of
the country disrust of the capaity Of the officers
charged with the subsistence ofthe Indians dread
of failure of their efforts in that respect thing is
demons rably true, that the great loss which is now
inevitably consequent upon the measure might have
been avoided had timely directions been given to dis
pose OF this extraordinary supply oprovslons soon
as il was ascertained not TO be needed"
Again. he says
Cargo after cargo continued to arrive the

And further
I" / repeat, sir fearless of contradiction had the
agents have been instructed, IN the first place, as
agents of the Government ought to have been, where
its interest was concerned the public would not have

BRETHREN: The President of

since the annual meeting, as to render an
Extra Session of the Convention indispen-
sably necessary. From the statement tnss
he makes in his communication, 1 fully
concur with him in his opinion. l have,
therefore, consulted the Board Of Agents
of the Convention on the subject, at whose
instance / am authorised TO call extra mee-
tinos of.the Body. The members of this
Board concur with me in the opinion that
such meeting should be called on the
present occasion.
Thus authorized, I do now appoint 10
o'clock in the morning Of Monday, the 9th
day of July next as the time, and the sclte
of the Institution, three niles from Winns-
borough, as the place at which the mem
bers Of the State Convention of the Bap'
tist Denomination in South Carolina are
requested to assemble in Extra Session on
the affairs of the Furman Institution. And
as the interests of the Denomination and
the cause of God, imperiously require that

even the blessed doctrine OF "Jesus Christi
and him crucifed-" That this is the state
of protestant England, cannot be contro-
verted, and all are prepared to admit that
spread of religion is the most charac-
teristic feature Of modern times. 1t is a
fair and goodly prospect; would to God
all ,Dere Israel, who are of Israel. But
we must for one moment look wittin the
church, and note in what proportion the
religion of Christians keeps pace with
the extension of Christianity. In doing
this, much that is painful is excited, and
the conclusion is forced upon us, that sp:-
ritual religion, though it has ,oidened, has
not deepeaed, and that a flourishing church
is not necessarily a spiritual church; but
rather the contrary. For. where is the
selfdenial, the simplicity, the separation
from the spirit of the world which the re-
ligion of Jesus enjoins its followers? Is not
the line of demarcation we'll nigh oblite-
rated, which should ever be preserved dis
tinct between the people of God, and the
people of the worldl We are exhorted to
"come out" not only from the outward
iniquities of a world lying in wickedness,
but also from It's spirit: while the low
standard of professors is marked by many
accommodating compliances, and carnal
views. Oh! that in Christian families, ex-
pensive entertainments might be abandon
ed, though expediency might appear to
dictate their necessity: that levity in con-
versation, and vanity in attire, and habl.
tual worldliness, were only to be found
amongst those who live "without God IN
the world" The aspect of modern times
greatly facilitates the profession of rell-
gion, and presents special snare to the
superficial and the active. The openings
for Christian exertion are SO multiplied,
and of such easy attainment-they afford
so cheap method of acquiring a rePuta-
ton for that which is, to certain degree,
popular, that strict vigilance is necessary
to detect the enemy in his angel-form, and
discover the reality Of our faith. If in
deed we have chosen Christ for our por-
ton, we shall soon discover the path Of
true religion is strait and narrow, and that
Conscientious walk is still obnoxious to
the derision of the world, and will pro-
woke the animadversions of many profess
sed disciples. If, however, we would be
Christs disciples we must become sepa-
rate people; we must beware Of joining
hands even in trifes with a degenerate
world, but must cultivate decision and con-
sistency of conduct: this God requires of
us; our brethren expect it; and the world
will be constrained to honor it, and the
very persons we desire to, conciliatc will
be the first to detect and censure those
compliances which are contrary to the
priciples we profess. M. II.

ON THE LOW STATE OF RELIGION AMONGST
PROGRESSING CHRISTIANS.
Next to the conversion of sinner,
there is no topic of such manifestly ex-
treme importance, or one more intimate,
ly connected with the glory Of God, and
the eternal interests Of men, than the pre-
vailing habits Of protesting Christians.
They are ga city set on hill," exposed to
the observation of all men. They are
the "peculiar people, chosen to represent
Ged on the earth: and who ought never
lightly to estimate the high responsibility
which attaches to them. Who that looks
abroad upon the face of things as exhibi-
ted in the present remarkable times-on
the infidelity which is stalking abroad In
open day on the one hand, and the grow
ing influence of corrupt church on the
other, each adding to their ranks In the
face Of a popular and wide-spreadlngg
Christianity, but must anxiously acknow-
ledge the necessity of a high endeavor
amongst the people of God to sustain the
fainting interests of their most holy faith.
That spiritual religion is on the increase,
no unpreiudiced observer can deny. In
almost every household one or two Of a
family are being brought unto Zion. In
almost every town and village in our own
country, Sunday, infant, or national schools
are'laying a foundation for the piety Of a
new generation: and if we turn to yet
