INDIAN MISSIONS.
Editor Of the Oh. Waterman:

To the Editor Of the Oh. Waterman:
Dear Broiher-Itis gratifying to know
that amid the connections Of life the truth
is gaining ground. That the gospel IS ad-
yancing to its final triumph. If at times
and places iniquity abounds, the enemy
prevails. and darkness spreads her gloomy
pavilion, il is no less true that wise Proyi-
dence will eventuate all things for good
How cheering to the Christian 10 be enabled
to exclaim for himself and the cause he has
espOused, Faint, yet pursuing" when

the Lord shall be light unto mew
The present is time Of some interest in
this part Of the heritage of Zion. At the
Ottawa station in addition to the number
who have already been gathered in, four are
awaiting baptism. The light of life has of
late been kindled up in these souls; few
months ago and we should as soon thought
Of the desolale cliffs smiling with the fruits
of the plain. There are also about the
same number at the Delaware station wait
ing to follow their Lord. Since the pres
ent year commenced, have baptized seven.
Two Shawnees, one Delaware and four
Mohegans. Two of the last mentioned
making the remnant Of a whole household,
the whole of which hopefully converted
within year. These numbers are compar-
atively small, yet considering the apparently
insurmouptable obstacles 10 the progress of
truth, we rejoice that we are thus far re-
membered by the Head of the Church. We
hope the hearts Of many will be affected to
prayer for those who once roamed, free from
restraint, where cities and villages are now
adjoining the land. And are there not those
who will do something for the spread of the
gospel among then2 And some who will
renounce their grasp upon the world SO far
as to come out to do them good % You will
not, my dear brother, forget the red man of
the forest7 Remember he is not yet gone.
His sun cnce shone in the East; and also
in its meridian brightness over the length
and breadth of our happy country. A veil
has obscured il in the history Of civilized
man, yet who can doubt but that its inhu-
ence wasconsidered genial to the untutored
mind. It's beams still lingcr in the West.

Baptists have crowded in there, and they

have never heard the supplosi pediso used with
greater success than by Mr. Goodman To him it
seemed to be natural and always employed at the
proper moment His ordinary tones low but
very distinct; it was only when the feeling or SEN
tment required il that he became vehement and
loud and rolled on IN a voice of thunder. As a
preacher he was very popular wherever he was sta
toned; and, like Chalmers and Irving always
drew after him large congregations, and those
whom he did not convert he never failed to charm,
delight and edify. He was beloved and admired
by all who knew him both in the pulpit and in the
social circle. His manner was bland, unassuming,
and attractive, and his piety free from that ausierty
81 asceticism which characterize some which make
divinity the profession. Such was the lamented
Goodman as a minister of God and pulpit orator.
He sleeps the long sleep of death in quiet and in
peace, amid the deep dark waves Of the bottomless
ocean---no longer TO mourn over the vices or to
weep over the miseries of mankind.
No man coud have been better prepared to take
the sudden and awful plunge into eternity that ne

ssThere is dread disease, which prepares

RIGHTS OF WOMEN in LOUISIANA.

The discussion in the Senate en- the Bankrupt
Bill elected some interesting information respect
ing tho peculiar laws and usages of the State OF
Louisiana, in guarding the rights Of married wo-
men and minors A correspondent Of the Phila-
deIphia North American says
Louisiana guards the rights of her women with
kind and parental care. The husband cannot al
ienate the property by consent of the wife; y
even the money given by the parents, either be-
fore or after marriage, is much the separate prop
erty Of the wife, as the land and negroes. She can
even make the husband her debtor, and sue him in
court Of law. 1t was TO guard these rights that
induced Mr. Barrow 10 offer the remarks he did,
which we're, that no bill that interfered with the
peculiar privileges of wives, could be supported
by him III mistake not, this law was adopted
since Louisiana became territory OF the United
States. Dashing young fellows used to go there
a. marry the beau iul creoes of the territory, and
spend their money within short period, leaving
them TO PERJURY. 1t is said that it was to guard
AGAINST this conduct the part OF unprinciped ad
venturers that the enactment of this law was found
necessary by the prudent and kind French creoles
Of that hospital region. No matter what led to
IL. the example ia worthy OF all praise.
