NEsToRIANs-EPISCOPACY.

Mr. Ediior:--If compatible with the de-.
sign Of your paper, should like to call
the attention of your readers 10 very
Interesting book which have recently
road, entitled "The HISTORIANS, or the
First Tribes" by Dr.. Grant. Within the
last few years, a great deal Of interest
has been awakened among protesting
Christians generally, in behalf Of the
Jews, and consequently there has heen
created an increased desire to, ascer tain
the fate and situation Of the Ten Tribes,
which for many centuries have been con-
sidered lost.' The prinsipal aim of DR..
Grant is 10 prove that the HISTORIANS are
these tribes. 1t might occupy too much
room TO notice the various arguments
which he urges in support Of his theory,
and tbsrefore must content myself
with saying--that to my mind, they are
Pefectly conclusive. Those Of your read.
ers who feel interested in the subject,
would do we'll TO examine the work.
DR.. Grants account Of the manners and
customs of the HISTORIANS, possesses no
ordinary inierest-especially to the Chris
tian. .. ....- ..... -. f..,....'
The HISTORIANS inhabil mountainous
region Of country belonging to ancient
Assyria. They are Christians, having
been converted by the preaching Of the
Apostles. DIR Grant terms them a peo.
pie who had received the gospel from
the Apostles and immediate Disciples of
our Saviour, and had preserved its doc.
itrines with great degree of purity; (page
79,) He mentions one fact, however,
which seems to throw soma light upon
question concerning which protesting
christians are much divided-the Apos
-tolic form of Church government. His
testimony on this point, may not harmo.
nize with the opinion of some of us-but
nevertheless, let truth prevail. He states
-''tbeir form of Church government is
essentially Episcopal"-(page l05.)
HISTORIAN churches and prelates have,
Aourished in an uninterrupted succession
in the same places where they we're found.
ed by the Apostles, among the Israel.
ties, (page 273 "And all this while
there has been regular, uninterrupted,
succession Of bishops, priests, deacons
and churches, from the Apostolic times
to the present day'--(page 27s.) DR..
Grant is Presbyterian, and therefore his
testimony must be impartial. If any of
your readers can account for the fact,and
reconcile il with the many forms of church
government among US, it might relieve
the perPlexities Of an anxious
INQUIRER.

CoMMoDoRE ELLIOTT. Upon search
ing the archives of the Navy Depart
ment, the original diagram Of the battle
of Lake Erie has been found. The
Washington correspondent of the Phila-
deIphiO Evening Journal says:-"The
finding Of this diagram rebuts that old
vinegar cruet, Tristan Burgess, in bis
imaginary charts of the action made a
gainst truth and evidence. It puts MIR
Alexander Slidell Mackenzie's life OI
Perry in the yocativs. and stamps the pop
ular account of the battle Of Lake Erie will
the seal of faIsehOod. Mr.. Cooper would
have been able to satisfy Judge FOote on
his trial, had he been possessed of thii
diagram. As it Is, il has worked a won
derful change in the Commodore'S favor
and as the Lake Erie charges have turn
ed out to be false, the knowing ones here
begin to think that injustice was done
him before the late court martial. Be
this as il may, the President (who, by the
way as the head of the Amy and navy,
is superior oficer,( will examine this
matter, as ! sm informed, thoroughly, and
then if some body does not smell thun'
der, am mistaken.

A TOUCH ABOVE MILLERIsM.


IN this State, we encountered a strange,
deluded kind OF being who has imbibed
the novel and prePOsterous notion that
be was ''oTdained from all eternity 10
Judge and justify the world" His views
IN regard to the approach Of the MelIeni.
um differ essentially with those Of Par
son Miller only in this: that he himself
is the Parsons superior, aud can a.
lone reveal the time Of the contemplated
destruction Of sinners. He frankly ad-
miis that Miller is a good, clever sort ofs
Apostle, and that he is fulfilling the mis-
sion for which he was appointed, but
that for him is reserved the duty Of dis
closing the "iruth," !" and the honor and
glory of "iudging all the nations Of the
earth"
We confess we felt some curiosity to
learn upon what data the creed Of this
new prophet was founded, which prompt.
ed US TO profound various inquiries, ma
ny Ofwhich he answered by reciting pas.
ssges from the scriptures. Like Miller
he believes the earth is TO cleansed by
fire, but limits the time to the first Of
December next; that Christ and his
saints will then take possession Of the
earth and dwell therein forever: He
seems confirmed in the opinion that he
is the Holy Ghost, and that on the day
,ofjudgment, which he fixes Immediately
preceding the final consummaIion, che
will take his seat between the Father
and the Son to Judge all people according
to their works." "ThOse who would sur
vive time and rejoice in the commence
ment Of the new era of eternity with me +,
must believe on me, otherwise Iwill ban.
ish them forever" saith the new prophet; /;
and he speaks with all the apparent con.
fidence of authority. He is seldom seen
without his bible, is very studiously inclin-
ed, and appears TO converse quite ration.
ally and intelligently upon any topic but
religion. To pOlititians he promises the
establishment ofa United States Bank,
which, while exceedingly gratifying TO
one party, seems to another like strange
"mingling Of things sacred with pro.
fane."
"Great country this, great Country!"
We have religious and political dOgmas
to suit every one, and though the wreck
of reason and human happiness, whichis
the result of our weak and suPerstitious
nature, be sad picture to look upon, it

tiusntly remarked by contemporary that

and assents to the correctness of the
