Arrival OF Brother knapp Commencement of the
York OF Regeneration Murder of Mrs Horn
appointment Of Paddy Reilly.
My DEAR BENNETT
Brother Knapp is again amongst u.s. and all is
again commotion. He commenced his crusade
against satan and his numerous hosts at the Baptist
Tabernacle Sharp street, on Tuesday evening last
assisted by Elders Charles NJ Keyser and George
w. Norris; and the way they are walking into the
affections OF sundry backsders whose love for this
worlds vanites induced them too soon to forget the
tair promises of permanent REFORM made with their
Baptismal vows, Is caution both to slippery saints
and hypocrical sinners am sorry to inform you,
however, that notwithstanding the near approach OF
the millennium, the present visit OF the reverend gen.
tleman does not promise TO pay quite well as did
some OF his former ministerial specHatOns here
In fact his demands on the liberal and able of his
congregation on this former visit were extensive,
that again TO tax them, either to fill his Golfers or
Introduce him to their taors, might perhaps call up
blush even 10 his sanc,lhed face, unused, as IL
in all probability is, to the intrusion OF so unmany
stranger. He Is however here, and has opened the
war in so business.like manner that we are at a
loss which the most TO admire, his skill apos
toIc general, or his tact as worldly financier-in
both characters he stands proudly pre- eminent as
an evidence of the FIRST the numerous souls that he
has rescued from damnation attest his excellence !;
i
short account OF his opening address, which think
will set to rest the opinions of the most sceptiea on
that subject. / will give ii to you, as near as may
be, In the gentleman's own language it would in
number OF my kind friends, | am here agin among
you-and let me tell you that it is great personal
sacrifice to me that am here among you but
don't care nothing for the sacrifice, for the IN
here 10 work in the vineyard of the Lord for week
or Whereabouts. And its going to be good deal
OF expense to me to stay among you, because
Wroee to part OF my family TO meet me in New
YORK, and part In Abany-and part In (Kam-
schatka, tor what we care,) and it will put to
great deal Of expense, but DOM care for that
As great as this personal sacrifice is if you want
me, and can do any good among you, don't care
But before agree to all this expense, must know
whether you want 1t or not cause if majority don't
wantt.why amt going to stay, and that's all about
IT, Now, wantyou all to vote, saints and sinners and
all-and then II you want me 10 stay, whv, in the
Lords name, iii stay. Now, then, all that's in ia
yer OF nv staying among you, will rise and all who
don't care nothing about 1t, will set down. AT
THIS nine men, tour boys and forty:one women
down-apparenty disgusted with the GOODNESS OF his
reception. Brother Norris, sort of factotum, or
head saint among the faithful, like the boy who had
turned up tails instead of heads declared was not
fair and determined to try it again-then after adj
mlniserng to us due rebuke for the inhospita!ty
displayed, with goodly admixture of talk about
put and carried, what is just as good declared
carried and 1t is due to truth to saw that there
were several more voted in the affirmative this time
than before but whether it reached to any thing
approximatlng majority, it shall not be mine 10 en-
quire. So, Elder Knapp is engaged for at least a
week, at the expiration OF which re-engAgement
may be effected, and then of the monumental
city will be fully prepared to meet Father Miller
whenever he thinks proper TO wind up the affairs Of
this implOusly wicked, money loving world.
Our police were in commotion yesterday, in
| searching out hoary headed scoundrel, who has
committed in our vicinity one OF the darkest,
damnedest acts OF eroclty, ever yet chronced in the
black catalogue OF murder. A German, named
Adam Horn about slxtythree years of age, recently
married handsome young girl of eighteen; and
finding that, at his time of life, Young wife was of
all hDgs the very thing he did not want-murdered
her She had been missed Tor some time, and no
one could give information as to her Whereabouts,
until Monday last, when her mutila,ed corpse was
| found sewed up in a coffee bag, and buried on the
premises OF her husband and her murderer! He has
| fled, and as soon the Governor offers good re-
ward, he will be found. but not until them as our po-
lice here are up to a thing or two, and have no idea
| of spoing their business by proving to the world
| that they are periodically good for nothing
We have also had quite flare up amongst por-
| tion OF the democratic family, occasioped by the
to the Office of Inspector of Distilled Spirits, made
vacant by the death Of Luther Ratcff, Esq 1t is
an office worth from 81 500 to So 900 per annum,
and OF course, In these piping times of peace, there
boast that he had done the party. if not the State,
some service; and, as is usually the case, all were
sangune of success. 1t was at length currently re
ported that scion of the old MARYLAND line and
| himself a war-tred soldier, and whole hog demo
crat, was the successful candidate-that Colonel
IS name was on the slate for certain. This ap.
peared to give satisfaction, even TO his fellow appl-
/ cants, who, recognizing the ColOne's superior
Claims both on party and country, yielded gracefully
to their fate. This feeling of satisfaction was how
ever of short duratIon The mail yesterday brought
| from Annapolis the commission and John Reilly,
| as good a democrat as a very limited residence on
| our soil, and more limited knowledge of the in
situations OF our country would admit any uneduca-
ted man to become, has got the vacant Office. He
has, however, been very busy with his arithmetic
since the Repeal Association took his application in
hand, and it is confidently expected that in the
course of lew months, with the assistance of the
| tables, Reilly will be enabled to come some where
in the neighborhood of the contents of a barrel OF
whiskey. AS for his judgement of the creature, if
report speaks true, there is no doubt that score
John not very apt Scholar for It's the very article
| that he is acquainted with The nomination and
appointment, bad as it is, is not what the boys are
/ complaining about, but they say it smells bad
| That Charley Coyle agreed with the Secretary oil
State, that il he would only favor him with This ap.
pointment for his friend, that he, the Secretary,
should receive the support of the repealers in con.
ventlcn tor a nomination for Congress from this
district IL such be the case, we have only to whis-
per word in lie Grand's ear--hat it will be worse
than folly for HIM to come before democratic con-
vention with such proffered support, for should
he succeed in obtaining q nomination, twill be but
TO let his fall be the greater. Howard.
