MEssRs EDGToRs.-I love to notice, and to sec no.
ced in your widely circulated paper all the signs Of
the times that seem to indicate the approach of that
blessed day for which trust you are successfully la
boring: when the true christian patriots heart shall
never again be wrung with anguish, and his cheek
crmsoned with the blush of shame, by witnessing the
spectacle of the human chatte marching before the
som dire" under the floating banner, in front of the
proud Capital of his loved guilty country clankng his
chains, as he raises his manacled hands towards his
nsultcd Father in Heaven, singing, "ITal Columbia
happy land" And i'll am not mistaken in my obser-
vations, have striking instance ofthese signs in
the "VemOnt CIvoaid" of the 4th instant, containing
an extract from sermon by Rev. Albert Barnes, Of
Philadelphia.
That this eXtractand correspondents remarks up
on it, should have found their way into this paper,
which has often, and so recently too expended so
much labor TO prove, that to hold and use man as a
"ctatia personal" not sander all circumstances SIM"
is to my mind worthy to be chronicled, as cheering
evidence that aboltonists have not hitherto labored
in vain.
And if Messrs. Editors you agree with me in this,
hope you will give at least the closing paragraph of
this extract and the excellent remarks upon it, by the
Chronicles correspondents nthe "Freeman" opne
the day is not far Distant when converted Shareholders,
to gain admission into the Churches under the care of
the American Boards Missionaries, will be required as
one evidence of their fitness, "o loose the bands of
wckedness to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the
oppressed 60 free" ST.

not Of that class, but we merely throw
ont this caution, so that If we should hap

HEALTH OF THE CIrY.-After Sareiul inquiry we feel full

vanous rumoTs that have been afoat the last two days, Of

was only ia less number, We venture TO say, according
10 the population Of the city, than occurred during the same
time IN any other seaport or river town IN the United States.
VI this number, one Is stated to have been OF yellow fever.
Another OF that disease, it is reported, occurred at the
Chaniy Hospital on Sunday. Monday. and up to s O'Clock
last evening, no new cases had appeared there. In private
praence, three or four cases are reported, but not auihonu.
Gated. Admit. however, that they have occurred, and il
gives no cause for alarm. Occasional cases Of yellow few
or occur here every year, in all seasons, and during this
month especially all cases of fever are apt TO assimilate to
the yellow fever type. The Charity Hospital is the index
10 the health Of the city, and especially to the yellow fever,
and the books Of that institution show that the city never
was healthier, and never more clear Of the yellow fever,
during the month OF September, than now.
