CAPT. URIAHP.LEVY

II is reported, that the Court Martial
has second time sentenced this Off
Ger to be cashiered and dismissed the
service. The Court rendered this
sentence ssne weeks since, and the
President considered the punishment
too severe, and ordered a new trial.
There is no alternative now-but to
acquiesce in the sentence or abrogate
Court Mortials altogether.
The Captain was arraigned for tarring
and feathering a boy in the Navy,-who
had been exercising his mimic powers
upon some of the Officers. The Cap.
tain thought to make him real parro
by giving him coat offeathers. The
punishment xas inflicted in mile
fern, and might not have subjected
any other Officer to the penalty Of dis
missal. But apt.Levy for some caus,
or other is very unpopular with hi
brother Officers few Of them rec Q
nize him-and as his offence warranre
expulsion they did not hesitate to in
flict it.

the Office Of priest. His answer TO
them implies that he exercised the
priests Office in the temple by the au-
thority Of John, (see Math. xxi 23-27,
Our author shows that this initiating
Baptism of our Saviour into the priests
Office, was performed by "sprinkling. J"
In an appendix the author shows that
those passages in the writings Of the
Apostles which speak of being "Bur-
ted with Christ in Baptism &C., &c.,
have no reference whatever to thinner
s'oas" or the ''mOde Of baptism," but
generally to our being separated from
sin, as it were dead and buried to this
world. having no more sinful connex-
ion with the carnal things of time and
sense.
The tract is written in form Of a
catechism, and although some parts OF
1t are obscure. especially TO those not
familiar with the controversy on this
subject, yet other portions are convin-
clngly clear and will repay the trou-

From the Richmond Wing

The Senate, on Friday, after several
days discussion, amended the bill
from the House, by substituting H.
143 for 50,l79, as the ratio Of repre-
sentation.
We have not room this morning for
the debate, and only annex the votes
on the various propositions. We re-
greet the decision to which the Senate
has come, and it is not final and con-
elusive. A numerous House is that
which we prefer for various reasons
two Of which need only be mentioned:
It's better exponent of the popular
WILL and cannot SO easily be bought
up. These reasons alone over-bal-
ance all the objections, which we have
heard urged to large Representation
We are aware Of only two objections. =
:he increased disorder from a large
House and the increased expenditure
neither of which are entitled to an,
consideration. The inference, tina
because House OF $50 is disorderIy
one Of $50 or 500 must be SO too, i
based upon total misconception of th,
cause OF the existing disorder. Tha
disorder springs from causes, who'll,
unconnected with the number of III

On the first page of our last number
we commented freely upon the manner
in which we then supposed Mr.. Wise had
settled his late difficulty with Mr.. Stanly.
From having subsequently, read the cor
respondence, which was conducted on the
subject, we have become satisfied that our
first impression in regard 10 this matter
incorrect and that the expressions, which
were used in the paragraph alluded to,are
not authorized by the conduct Of Mr.. Wise
on the occasion. Indeed we can not
well conceive how Mr.. Wise could with
propriety have acted otherwise under the
circumstances. though we have not the
same difficulty in regard TO what might
have been Mr.. Stanly's course.
Whatever may be our opinion Of Mr..
Wise, generally, we are far from being
disposed to do him injustice, and shall
therefore publish the correspondencewhicn
ensuod IN regard to the difficulty between
him and Mr.. Sianly.
