The American Art-URiOn,

In lis promises and performances for
1881, seems 10 be reaping the harvest of
lis previous successes, i'll enlarged resour-
ccs and consequent advantages 10 subscr-
bers. It's works of Art for distribution
next December, as appears by the Bulletin,
show a steady advance in number over the
collections Of previous years, and in merit
also, If we Judge by the New y ork papers.
The best Artists are represented in it, and
in some of their best works. The list of
279 works, already announced, includes
new and tavorite productions of Durand,
Lcutze, HincMey, Mrs. Spencer. Mount
Chapman, WoodyiIle, Church, Rossitcr.
GignouX, Kenselt, Hicks, Ranney, Audu-
don, Peele, and others well known 10 the
country, and identified with its reputation
in the Arts. Other works to be added 10
the list will, doubtless, make it at least
equal in number, and surpass in interest,
the collections of the most prosperous
years of the Institution.
The certain return 10 each Member
will be a series Of sir Line EngraUingS,
in the highest style of the Art-all The
subjects various, and apparently of great
interest. These are-I. a general line
engraving by Jones, after Woodyille's cele-
brated painting of Mexcans News, rep
resenung a group listening to an account
of one of the battles of the Mexican war
,. Marion Crossing the Pedee, by Ranny
). Mount Washington, from the Valley of
Conway, by kenseu; 4. American Har-
yesting Scenery, by Cropley; 5. Old '76
and Young '4S, by Woodyille; 6. Bar
gains for i Horse, by Mount
Each Member, after subscribing. receives
the Society's Bulletin, fine Art Journal
of original Criticism, Biography, History,
News, &C., &c, relating to the Arts, illus
trated by engrayings on steel, wood, and
stone, etchings, &c, The Bulletin has
always taken high rank with the public
among periodicals on the Fiae Arts.
These valuable returns to members can
be ensured only By the combination of
large number of subscribers aud efficient
business organization. Indeed, if we did
not know what the Institution has done
what promises il has made and kept-we
should think it incredible that so small an
investment could be made to WELD such
extraordinary returns. Large as their list
of subscribers is al the end of the year,
we wonder that il is not much larger.
The Secretary Of this place is Dir. L,
w. HALE, who will soon send on list
of subscribers, and will give any informa-
tion which may be desired in relation TO
the Institution.

GJE~Germany is one of the greatest musical
countries in the world. There, every child IS
taught TO use its voice in earliest infancy, and
as much attention is paid to its singing as 10
the elementary education of our children; it
is at once their study and amusement. Speak

this country as music is in Germany. They

FIREs-On Monday night last, about
ii o'clock, the stable and carriage house
of Gen. A. p. Wilson, adjoining his resi-
dence, was discovered 10 be on fire. The
most of our citizens had retired to their
beds, and by the time they had arrived
upon the ground with the engines and
buckets, the whole building was in 4 blaze
and the flames had spread 10 the roof Of
the dwelling nearest the stable, and for
short time little hopes were entertained of
the safety Of the dwelling; but soon it was
discovered that the cXertions Of the men
and women had mastered the flames. and
IN an hour from the commencement, every
one had returned home, leaving the stable
and carriage house the only property de-
stroyed. 1t was no doubt the work Of an
inccndiary.
ANoTHER.-The barn OF Mr.. Joshua
Green, IN Barree township, near Couch's
mill, was destroyed on Friday night last,
together with his whole crop of grain and
hay, four horses. wagon, carriage, &c-

CHURCH AcTioH ON SLAvERY-The following
resolutions were adopted by the Grand River
Presbytery New School at their late meeting in
Jefferson county, Ohio:
Resolved, That civil governments nre ordained
of God for the protection of mankind against
wrongs, violence and crime.
RESOLVED, That the Fugitive slave law lately
enacted by Congress, whereby we are forbidden,
under penalty Of fine and Imprisonment, from
feeding the hungry and clothing our naked
brethren while fleeing from oppression, outrage
and degradation, is unchristian, barbarous, and
entirely opposed to the spirit of the gospel and
the promptings of humanity.
Rssolued, That while we acknowledge ale
glance to our government and its just laws, we
never can yield to any enactment which con-
travenes that higher law oflove which the gospel
enjoins.
Resolred, That while as christians we may not
feel justified in resisting the operations of the
fugitive law by violence; yet as christians, as
brethren of those in bonds, we can never aid or
assist in its enforcement.
Resolpsd, That this Presbytery contempates
with pain the action of those ministers and eccle-
siastcal bodies who attempt to apologize for
and attempt to justify law which consigns to
the scourge and to letters portion of our breth
rem in the ministry, our brethren in Christ, and
our brethren Of the human race.

feat especially il it, dsfsxt should be BY mere
mainly, through Congress BY our votes. Such

The next question il this: Shall we meet and
put il downl Nothing would be more easy, IL
the slaveholding States should agree TO forget
their wretched party strfes, and to unite for the
purpose. The mere union itself, in my opinion,
would enable us to dictate terms, or, Ii not,
would put into our hands ample means to CON-
pei the. non-slsveholding States to respect our
rights to the full, and to fulfil the stipulations
OF the Constitution in our favor. The mere
right Of retaliation, il they refused, would be
eftectual There are more stpulati0ns in their
favor, and OF vastly greater importance, than in
our favor. Union among ourselves would ena-
bic us to resort to retaliation, if, after due no.
tice, they should refuse to respect those in our
favor. But | have no idea. if we were once
united in fixed resolve to put AN end to these
assaults on our rights, that it would be neces
sary TO resort to higher measures The power
of resorting to them, and the certainty they
would be resorted to, if the assaults were not
deslsted from, and the measures adopted for the
purpose OF making them abandoned.
The great question ther, is How can we be
best united! | regard the proposed associa-
ton, which the meeting is to be convened to
consult about, as great and indispensable step.
hope it will be approved by the meeting; and
that measures will be adopted to extend it
throughout the entire slaveholding States. That,
and the establishment Of an able and trust
worthy press at the seat of the federal govern
ment, to watch over our interests and rights, and
to warn against approaching dangers, with the
determination to sink party considerations be-
low what relates to our rights and honor, would
do much, very much, TO bring about the desired
union. That done, will underwrite the rest.
With great respect, nm yours,
