Dear Brother: The times are waxing
hot. The lhickest Of the anti slavery strife
lis at hand in our State. A decisive struggle
is at hand between ne valianls Of Truth
and the minions Of Error. Let every friend
Of Humanity examine his position; prove
his armor, and Try the metal Of his weapons.
Let no one come up 10 the approaching con-
test, with a shield of unbelief, broken
breast-plate Of misdeeds, the sword of vio-
lence and unshod Of the gospel OF peace.
A broad way is to be opened, between The
tr7ie and false friends Of the slave, and all
Who are found walking therein will be re.

The National institute is a body incor-

the arts. 1t was formed about two years
ago. and has got together collection OF
specimens in natural history, productions
of arl and objects of curiosity, which give
promise, that at no distant day, we shall
possess a splendid national museum.
The things brought home by The Explor-
ing Expedition have lately been add d,
and are now in process of classification
and arrangement. For richness and rar-

attractive, and offers one ofihe pleasaniest

the seat Of the Institute. A part Of the
large hall is occupied By the models be-

PROPOSALS.
HNHE friends Of primitive, christi
anity propose publishing in the
town of Columbus, Mississippi, a Sc
mi-monthly, to be called
@6e BiseipCe.

Devoted to the interests of the
christian Institution, in its ApoSt0Hl
purity and primitive simplicity;-
having in view no design, other than
the best interest of the community,
and the honor of God.
Upon such subject, guided by
such motives, we cannot but indulge
aldenrly, the hope of great and good
success at the same time promising
TO use our best exertions to secure, in
an eminent degree, this SO desirable
an object.
The main design of this periodical
is to disseminate biblical Intelligence
in an unvarnished, though chaste and
respectable style, through this State
and sister States; as far as it may be
by the liberality Of the public, per-
mitted to WELD an influence.
The following items may be in
brief noted, as prospectvely holding
a claimupon our labours, and entitled
to timous attention and full and free
discussion:
LIST Simple expositions of the relig-
ion of Christ as taught by the Apos-
ties.
I'd. Christian organization, or the
government and discipline of the
Church.
Sd. The most successful scriptural
manner Of proclaiming the word.
4lh. The various interpretations
of prophecy, especially those bear
ing upon the second coming of the
Lord.
9Th. News from the Churches.
9th. Instructive miscellany, and re-
ligious poetry.
9TH. Such discussions, as from the
character of the parties, the manner
of discussion, and the subject discus
sed will be likely TO result in goods
for free discussion and liberal and
enlightened Investigation shall De
ouv motto. None need therefore APP
prehend any disrespect at our hands,
not even opponets, who present US
with chaste, condensed and well writ
ten communications.
Every thing like invidious scurllity
and vulg gar sarcasm which have been
TOO long the disgrace ofthe press, and
the curse of the community, will be
sedulously avoided.
All important foreign and domestic
intelligence Of a religious character,
will receive from us meritcd atten-
ton.

REVOLUTION IN ST. DOMIN-
co; AUTHENTIC INTEL.
CENcE

The Savannah Republican Of the
9Th uIt. states that by the arrival at
that port, on the day previous, OF the
brig Woodstock, direct from Aux
Cayes, full Intelligence had been re-
ceived of the revolt in st. Domingo,
a rumor CT which had previously
reached the Uunited States. 1t
seems that the revolt commenced on
the 25th January, by the collection
of a body Of revolutiyners four
leagues from Aux Cages, who on the
evening of 2Sth marched within five
miles of that city. The insurgents
were commanded by Col. REVERE,
who Immediately despatched a mes
sage to the Governor Stating that he
and his followers desired "nelther
bloodshed nor pilIage, but that they
demanded such change of govern
mcnt as they could live under, and a
new constitution, modelled after that
of the United States.' We learn
from letter from the Amer lean Con-
sui, Mr.. Gooch, to Capt. Baker Of
the Woodstock, which is published
in the Republican, that the city Of
Aux Cages having been supplied
with several regiments from abroad,
on the goth two regiments were sent
to attack the insurgents at thar camp.
but when arrived there, it was found
they had marched for Jeremie; and
from the same source we learn that
up to the 9th of February the Aron'
nissement Of Jeremie was in the pos
session of the revolters.
Mr.. Gooch states the entire south
ern part of st Domingo is in state
of civil war--that the revolutlonlst:
are supposed 10 have force OF from
1000 TO 5000 men, and desertion'
from the government forces to the IN
surrectionistS were constantly taking
place. All business was suspended
