fusion, chaplain TO the Senate, has addressed
a note, through the National IntelIigencer, TO
Hon. Caleb Gushing, asking his opinion in re-
Iation TO the missionary efforts in China. Mr..

important, not to say indispensable, service
was derived from American missionaries in
China, and more especially from DR. Brdgman
and DR. Parker He saws, that, their intimate

them invaluable as advisers, and their high
character contributed TO give weight and moral
strength 10 the mission Afler abiding TO the
value of the pathological labors of missionaries

love. When no one cares jor him, and he gets
put down in society, and wants to bind himself
for life to some being who will fatter him, and
admire bis very faults, this, too, he calls love.
Mans love, indeed'

own particular line as nisi prius lawyer. Nc
leader since Erskine, il is said, has assumed SC
