For some time past the struggle between Satan
and the various ministers Of religion in this city has
been truly desperate. The Devil had such strong
hold the affections Of the people here that IL
with the utmost difficulty he could be induced to
relinquish his grasp upon any portion Of them He
greatly assisted by his pieus and indefatigable
agents in Wall street; and all that human exertion
could do was dose extend his Kingdom TO lengthen
its stakes, and strengthen its cords. Seductions,
murders, Grim. cons, riots, cheating, bank-suspen-
sions, post notes, and robberes Of all kinds,
resored to- and for a time, the children Of the Devil
seemed to be the increase; but at last, owing
to the disinterested pious, and gratuous exertons
Of Brother Kirk and Brother Knapp, goodness hath
triumphed over sin, righteousness and peace have
kissed each other, and many have been turned to
righteousness, to shine tho stars, for ever and
ever
The exertons Of Brother Knapp, of the Baptist
Church in Mulberry street, in particular, have been
very successful; he has succeeded beyond the most
,anguine expectations Of prophetic, pious and i'm
pious people; and although gifted with unusually
large share both Of ignorance and impudence, he is
striking illustration Of the truth Of that text which
saws. that the foolshness Of the world shall con-
found the wise and learned His success, both with
male and female has been wonderful; and on Monday
last nearly fifty Of his converts were baptised in the
Hudson river sat Jersey City. This august affair

astonishing, comprising, at least three fourths OF

crowding, crushing, ramming and jamming, has not
been seen for a long time; not at least since the
eptree Of His Democratic Majesty. Many Of the
young girls present crowded down even into the

way up their legs; some, by the pushing fell into
the river wet all over; and, IN short, all were
more or less wet and uncomfortable
Brother Knapp then went into the river mp to hrs

middle; both dressed not like John the Baptist in
