CONGRESS-.

There does not seem to be any thing OF
interest going on in Congress. qhe ques.
iion relative to the disposition of the pub.
Tic lands, seems to be the engrossing one
so far; but the propositions on the subject
are so various, and such diversity Of opin-
ion exists among the members. that there
is very little hope, that any final dispo-
sition will be made of the matter during
the present session. II is a subject of
great interest and will b. dific q.

We have read during the week, Sermon deli.
vered by the Rev. RIcHAap FuRhAS. before the
Baptist Church in Chcraw, s. C. during the last
Summer in vindcation Of the doctrine and practice
Of the Baptist denomination. 1t is handsomely
printed pamphlet Of 80 pages. This Sermon was
preached in reply to one BY tho Rev. J.C. CorT'
pastor of tho Presbyterian Church in Cheraw. 1t
would be travelling out of our vocation, to express
any opinion in relation to the controversy which
rave rec to the discourse Of which we are speaking
even if We felt dispoaitisu to do so, which we DO
not. Nor does not come within our province either,
to say how successfully the doctrine and practice OF
the particular Church has been vindicated. 1t is
however very interesting discourse, learned in its
arguments, and generally manifssts spirit Of Ii
berality and toeation, which is worthy Of all praise
