VAN BUREN, SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1s49.

SALT one mass of crystalization. 1t is in the vi
clnity which is pointed out in the Bible in relation
to the matter in question, and it appears TO be the
only one of its kind here. And the Arabs of the
district, TO whom this pillar is pointed out, declare
II to be Lots wife, the Identical pillar of salt 10
which the Bible has reference; the tradition having
been handed down from each succeeding genera
tion 10 their children, the Americans will hand
down to succeeding generations the tradition OF
Bunker's Hill Monument, in Boston, My own
opinion of the matter is. that Lots wife having
fingered behind, in disobedience to the express
command OF God-given in order to ensure her
safetv-that while so lingering she became over
whemed in the descending fluid. and formed the
model Or foundation ofthis extraordinary column.
If it has been produced by common. by natural
causes, it is but right TO suppose that others might
be found Of similar description.
One is scarcely able 10 abandon the idea that il
stands here lasting memorial Of Gods punish
ing most deliberate act of disobedence, commit
ted at time when he about to show dstin-
gushing regard for the very person. We carefully
brought away our specimens, intending TO show
them TO our friends in America, when shall
have the good fortune to arrive there and talk with
them on the subject. This end of the sea is very
shallow, and It's waters more dense, more salt than
when they are Of greater depth here it is from
one to five feet in depth. We now leave this
"Pilfar of Salt" and return to our boats. richly
laden with specimens from it. We cross the sea,
and obtain soundings on way. We had nearly
reached the opposite side when a danger
sailed US. We had braved all the dangers of Jor-
dan, in lis stream and on its banks, and the pecu-
liar storms on the Dead Sea, ard now new spe-
cimen of the dangers to which man is subject
visits US. The fearful scorching srocco RACES
around, threatening suiocation and blindness, and
causing almost iusupporiabe thirst.
The fiery atmosphere seems as though il would
doom US to the very fate of the unfortunate citi-
zens who now lie engulphed below our boats; bat
we fearIessy pull away, until coming TO the place
called Mescraph," we land amidst the raging
heat Of the wind. and there encamp for the night.

Catholicism in China.

The following extract is from most interesting
work. recently published on China the writer,
Mr.. Fortune, is not Catholic. therefore obser-
vations coming from such n source are rendered
more than valuable and affords testimony in favor
Of the Roman Catholic Missionaries which cannot
well be contradicted:
The Roman Catholic missionaries conduct
their operations in manner somewhat different
from Protesiants. They do no, restric, them
selves to the outports of the empire were foreign
ers are permitted 10 trade. but penetrate into the
interior, and distribute themselves all over tho
country. One of their bishops. an ltalian noble
man. resides in the province of keangsoo, n few
miles from Shanghe, where have frequently met
him. He dresses in the costume Of the country,
and speaks the language with the most perfect
huency. In the place where he lives. he IS sur
rounded by his converts; in fact, il is little
Christian villnge, where he is perfectly safe and
| believe is seldom. if ever, annoyed in any wav
by the Chinese authorities. When new Roman
Catholic missionaries arrive, they met by some
OF theIr brethren. or their converts, az the port
nearest their destination. and secretly conveyed
into the interior; the Chinese dress is substituted
for the European, their heads are shaved, and in
this state they conducted to the scene of their
future labors, where they commence the study of
the language. il they have not learned it BEFORE
and IN about two years are able 10 speak suffi-
ciently well 10 enable them 10 instruct the people.
These poor men submit 10 many privaiionS and
dangers for the cause they have espoused and al
though | DO not approve Of the doctrines which
they teach, must give the highest praise for en-
thusam and devotion to their faith. European
customs, habits, and luxuries, are all abandoned
from the moment they put their feet on the shores
of China parents, friends, and home in many iu-
stances, are heard of no more before them lies
heather land of strangers, cod and unconcerned
about the religion for which they themselves n re-
sacrificing everything; and they know tha, their
graves will be far away from the land OF their
birth, and The home of their early years. Thev
seem 10 have much of the spirit and enthusiasm
@: the first preachers Of the Christian religion,
when they were sent out into the world by their
Divine Master to preach the Gospel 70 every crea-
ture' and 10 obey God rather than man. 'Ac-
cording to the accounts of these missionaries. the
number of these converts is considerable"

little is known Of his wife, who was the object OF

There are some topics Of so sacred and sweet
