understand precisely the doctrines enter
tanned by the sect of which that individual
was the head. Since Mr.. Mller's decease,
the creed has been amended, and now ac-
cording 10 the Advent Herald, is thus
sta ted:
l. The regeneration of this earth by
fire, andits restoration to its Eden beauty.
2 The personal advent of Christ at
the commencement of the Millennium.
3. His judgment of the quick and
dead at his appearing and Kingdom.
4. His reign OIL earth over the nations
of the redeemed.
5. The resurrection of those who sleep
in Jesus. and the change of the living
saints, at his advent
g. The destruction of the living wicked
from the earth at that event, and their
concealment under chains of darkness till
the second resurrection.
7 Their resurrection aud Judgment
atthe end of tile Millennium, and consign.
ment to everlasting punishment.

PHENOMENON IN OREGoN.-ln the Cas-
cade Mountains, in the month OF NoVem-
Der last, there were heard loud reports
like distant thunder, aud, Immediately
after. Silver Creek dried up for twenty
four hours. When the water did resume
its course, it was so thoroughly lmpregnat-
ed with alkaline substance as to nave
the appearance of strong lye, and as also
to cause the death of the fish in the stream.
About the time of the occurrence, strong
winds prevailed from the south, heavy
fall of ashes was noticed in most parts OF
this valley, and dense cloud OF smoke
in the atmosphere, shutting out the ilght
of the sun for nearly week.

THE DEAD MARINER.
BY G. d. PRENTICE.

O
Ssieeb oh, sleep on! above thy corse
The winds their Sabbath keep;
'ghe waves are round thee, and thy breast
Heayss with the hesving deep.
Ger thee mild eve her beauty fings-
And there the white gull lifts her wings
And the blue halcyon loves to lave
Her plumage in the deep-blue wave!
Sleep on. no willow Ger thee bends
With melancholy cir;
No violet springs, nor dewy rose
Its soul of love lays bare:
But there the sea flower, bright and young,
Is sweetly o'er thy sumbers flung;
And, like a weeping mourning fair,
The palc flag hangs its tresses there.
Sleep on, sleep on! the glittering depths
or oceans coral caves
Are thy bright urn-thy requiem,
The music of its waves.
The purple gems forever burn
In fadeless beauty round thy urn,
And, pure and deep as infant love,
The blue sea rolls its waves above.
Sleep on, sleep on! the fearful rack
OF mingIing cloud and deep,
Nav leave its wild and stormy track
Above thy place of sleep;
But. when the wave has sunk to rest,
A. now, twill murmur DER thy breast;
And the bright victims Of the sea-
Percbance will make their home with thee.
Sleep on! thy corse is far away
But love bewails thee yet
For thee the heart ,wrung sigh is breathed,
And lovely eyes are wet;
And she, thy young and beauteous brIde'
Her thoughts are hov'rng by thy side;
And oft she turns to view, with tears,
The Eden of departed years.

many years chief engineer of the Harlem
Railroad, has recently been invited to
undertake the construction of a railraod
in Chill, S. A., which, when completed,
will be the first railroad south of the euua-

lies IN about 27 deg. south latitude, in a
climate Of remarkable salubrity.
The company is composed OF some of
the worlhies, residents of Chill, and the
road will be mainly under the direction
of Americans. The line of the road is
straight, and the elevation to be overcome
does not exceed one thousand one hun
dred feet, with grade of four or five
miles of fifty feet per mile.
The great business Of the road will he
to transport copper and copper ores from
the ruins of Copiapo, and coal for smelt-
ing, and provisions for the consumption Of
the miners.
Mr.. Canpbell's compensation is to be
$4,000 year, and his expenses out and
back, paid. He is to be accompanied by
his brother, Alexander Campbell, Esq,
the recent Democratic candidate for State
Engineer, and Walton w. Evans, Esq,

ADvERTIsING.-IH Leuer by a0)tsch
fortunes are nzade.-At a banquet given
to the employers of large establishment
in New York city, the owner of the es-
tabishment, says the Sun, i'll the course
of brief history of his rise and progress
as manufacturer, alluded to his indebt-
edness to the press as the great medium
by which he had made the public acquain-
ted with his business, and drawn them to
him as customers. He said he regarded
the press in this age Of competition, as
the great fulcrnm upon which the trades
man rested his advertisement, and by that
means overturned his adversaries. That
is, he who advertised most judiciously
and extensively, was sure to reap the re-
ward of triumph. If every man dealing
wares to the public was guided by as
truthful conviction of his interest as this
manufacturer, few would have cause to
complain of small sales, or i'll success in
trade. A few enterprising men of the
various trades and professions, have got
hold of the great secret of success, and 1t
is not strange TO us that they rise to fortune

AN INCIDENT.-During the last war with
Great Britain a tremendous struggle was
made by both parties to preserve the naval
supremacy Of Lake Champlain. Com
modofe McDonough who commanded the
American fleet, determined to risk gen
eral enga cement. So confident were the
British of success, that small vessel
loaded with British subjects came into
the bay where the battle was fought, as
spectators, TO witness the prostration Of
the "star spangled banner" The action
was commenced by the British vessels
firing broadside. At this instant, says
the historian, chicken cock, which had
escaped from one of the coops OH Nc
Donough's vessel, few upon one of the
guns and 10y loud crow seemed to hurl
back defiance of the naughty foe. The
instant this was heard, the whole body
of soldiers, officers and all, greeted the
gallant bird with three cheers. Sailors
are generally superstitious; aud Mr.. Coop
er, in his Naval History, says the Growing
of the fowl had a po1cerfuI effect upon
the known tendencies of the seamen."
During the battle, the chicken cock flew
upon some of the rigging, and from there,
far above the heads of the combatants.

fearful fight the war-cry of that gallant
and fearless bird.
