Women IN Jreeches- Saturday turned into The
Sabbath
This is Saturday, and, to the Mormons, Sab
bath have just listened to two long dlscourses.
one from the Prophet, the other from q. j. Adams
He is a regular tearer, speeks long and loud
concerning this od-forsaken gene alton main
tains that there is no redemption for this black
hearted Governme Mt from the sink of iniquity in
to which it has fallen, short of entire destruction
and boldly declares the quicker the better. He
is the second officer in the Mormon church, be-
ing counsellor to the Prophet.
The Prophet speaks in a more mild, yet firm
and decided manner-shows more talent. per-
| oepton and shrewdness. He has high and ex-
| traordinary prominent forehead; is close deba-
tor, and shows himself good Prophet.
What capped the climax is the new style Of
dress which ladies' here are bringing into vogue

GREAT BRE Ak IN THE ERIE CANAL.
ROCHESTER,, May q

A break occurred in the canal at Bushnell S
Basin, which exceeds in magnitude any thing OF
the kind that has taken place since the canal was
constructed.
Bushnell's Basin is 6 miles by water, and 9
miles east Of Rochester. The highest portion
of the bank is about 35 feet. The widest part Of
the break is about 90 feet at the top and 80 feet
at the bottom; bat this is nothing compared with
the quantity of earth east and west iii the bed of
the canal for distance of 80 rods. The entire
width of the tow path, and all presents to the eye
a gulf of 30 feet in depth. At the least calcu-
lation, more than 100000 Of cubic feet have
been removed by the water.

TIE NEW VERSION.

tits probably known to the readers of the Tel
egraph generally, that the subject of a new and
improved version of the English Scriptures has
been agitated by the American and Foreign BIZ
bic Society. The president of that society, Rev.
Spencer Fl. Conc DID of New York, and the
Corresponding Secretary Mr. VIM. H. Wyckof
with competent aid having prepared an amend
ed version, presented it to the Board at their re-
cent mseting in NewYork City together with the
stereotype plates for their approval.
The agitation produced by this project had cal
led together large representation and spirited
discussion was held upon the subject, both for
and against the new version.
The main argument urged in favor of the pro-
posed new version, was the duty of the church
to give to the world the best version from the
original of which the English language will ad-
init. That the version now in use is acknowl-
edged faulty in many particulars; caused in many
instances by an incorrect rendering, and in 9TH
ers by the change the English language has I'M
dergone, words having become obsolete as well
as changed in their meaning.
1t was contended by those opposed to the
amended version that it was foreign to the orig
gnal design ofthat body, as gnerally understood
and expressed, and consequently was a violation
of the pledged faith of the Society--that if a
new version be ever so proper, that Society is
not the proper body, in their official capacity
to perform the task.
The change of the word "bQptize" from the
original "baptiao," to mmerse being one of
the most important changes proposed, it was adj
vocated by many critical biblical scholars, among
whom was Rev. w. R. Williams, D. D., of New
York, that the word baptiae, used to express the
act of baptism, was at least six centuries older
than the word imnterse, and for many centuries
understood in that sense only-that the use of
the word has made it as truly English as is i'm
merse, and SYNONYMOUS with it in meaning.
that change in the English New Testament
would tend to increase the divisions among
Christians, and expose that Society to the charge
of making Baptist bible.
A resolution having been introduced requiring
the Society to circulate none in the English
language but the commonly received version,
it was passed by an overwhelming majority
the new version finding but few advocates or
votes. G..

The editor of the Sheboygan Democrat has
come to the conclusion that Slavery is the natu-
raj condition of portion of mankind-a condi
ton best fer the enslaver and enslaved This is
not an original opinion, by any means, nor is it
confined to this editor. We do not, however
understand from him, nor have we from others
who hold the opinion, aehat portion of mankind
are thus naturally designed. It is held by many
that Slavery is sanctioned by the Bible; bat we
never understood thai the Bible designated ex-
acty what portion or part Of the human family
were thus to be held in bondage. We trust
then, this point unsettled, if any person know
ing more and stronger than the editor of the
Democrat, or any one who holds such opinions
should reduce them to chate servitude, thew
will console themselves with the idea that it is
| natural condition Of portion of mankind, and
that it might rs well b. Ahem as any body else.
The only evidence we can find that any part
of mankind are designed as slaves, is in such
opinions as are promulgated by the editor Of the
Democrat. He who aspires to be tyrant, we
think, under proper discipline, would make a
good slave.

The WEATHER AND CRoPs.-Monday last
we had slight shower of rain, but not sutficien'
to relieve the long continued drouth, West of us,
at GAINESVILLE, we learn there was a heavy shower
for two hours. The injury to the wheat crops
from the drouth ia very great, which any amount
of rain cannot remedy. 1t has suffered most on
the prairies and in the openings. In northern
Iowa the wheat crops is badly killed. In south-
ern Iowa it promises well. In Michigan and
some parts OF Ohio the drouth has done much
njnry. The whole western lake region has
suffered severely from the drouth But in New
York and the eastern States, the rain has fallen
in such quantities as seriously to intenfere with
planting and sowing in many localities Free
Dem.
On Tuesday night we had, for the first time
in six or eight weeks, pretty smart shower of
rain, and while we write there is prospect of
more We trust it has come in time to save
the wheat crop.
