American Tract Society--Semi-
Annual Statement.

The first half year, which closed Oct'
has been one Of unusual prosperity.
EIghty-two new colporleurs were com
mlssioned with view 10 permanency-
making two hundred and three IN the
service. Besides these, nInety-two stu
dents, come cted " ith seventeen lheolo-
pica semlnaries and colleges, have
been employed for their vacations, from
one TO SIX months. Nearly every state
and territory and class Of population has
received attention. The German, French,
WEIGH, Irsh, and Norwegian, us well
as the American population, have been
visited by men speaking and circulating
books in their seveIai tongues. But
the expense Of sustaining thus extended
agency has come upon treasury bur
,hcned, on April |, with an Indebtedness
OF S20,712.
The receipts have been, in donations,

posi,ory, was Sl0l,725 exceeding the
issues of any previous halt year, and
leaving the stock 10 the Depository less,
by Sl4,39O, than u, the beginning ollhe

Major Andres Defence.

A correspondent OF the Newark DAILY
Advertiser, who seems 10 be fortunate
in the possession of sundry curIons old
papers and other memorials Of the past,
rs well as of the corresponding knowl-
edge and memory, has furnished for the
columns of that paper document which
we do not remember TO have seen before

fore the Court which condemned him TO
death as spy. We have no doubt j,

his youth, his, wealth, his life, all, an
Dseliish, noble sacrifice To weak, but
brave people, struggling 10 be free.
This generous, and yet only just re-
munera'ion, took Lafayette by surprise,
and affected him deeply. Indeed, to
heart like his, the open arms and over
flowing affection Of the people were a
sufficient reward. The entire nation
had risen to do him homage. Honor

clamallons, had met him at every step.
Flowers were strewed along his path
way--his carriage detached from the
horses, and dragged by the enthusiastic
crowd, along ranks OF grateful ireemen,
who rent the heavens with their accla-
nations. From the heads OF govern
ment down to the lowest menial, all had
united in pouring blessings on his ven
cradle head Melted 10 tears by these
dem onstrations OF love, he had moved
like father amid his children, scatter
ing blessings wherever he went.
One Of his las, acts IN this country,
was TO lay the corner stone Of The Bunk

stone over Baron De Kalb's grave, in
South Carolina, aud now II was fit that
he, the last survivor Ofthe major-gener-
ais of the American Revolution, should
consecIate the FIRST block in that grand
structure. Amid the silent attention of
fifty thousand spectators, this aged vet
eran, aud friend of Washington, with
uncovered head performed the impos-
ing ceremonies, and Long life Laiay-
cite, swelled up from the top Of Bunker
Hill.
