Che Waller Bunsen, the late Russian Am.
bassador to England, has published learned
work on the PSaii,ive Church, in which he
states his conclusion that every town con-
gregaiion of ancient christianity, the con-
stitulions of which we have TO delineaie,
was church. The constitution ofthat
church was Congregational constitution
In St. Pau's Eqislles, in the writings OF
Clemens liomanus, of Ignatius, aud of
Polycarp, the congregation is the highest
organ of the spirit as well as'power Of the
church. This congr CATION was governed
and directed by Council Of Elders, which
Congregational Council, al later period,
was presided over in most churches by
a governing overseer, the Bishop; but the
ultimate decision in important emergencies,
vested yilh the whole congregation.

pieces have been collected in the form OF
two books. 1t is only three or four years
ago that she began TO be much known as "a
writer, and she has rapidly become favor
iie with large class of readers. This is
her first extended effort, which she calls a
tale OF the present time, and not novel;
In this work she has succeeded well, and
given evidence of a higher power of talent
than has characterised any of her shorter
writings. She is woman OF very marked
ability, anI the volume will have very
extensive sale, and will be exceedingly pop
ular. 1t is issued in fine style.

The duty of the Federal Government is to sup
press this sort of warfare everywhere within It's
Jurisdiction, and to use at once the most ethc'ent
means for that purpose. But suppression oy
force is not enough. The Indians should not only
be made to feel the strong hand but the protect
ing kindness of the United States. Justice,
honesty in trade, protection against the encrOach-
ments of white men, and safety from ardent
spirits, should all be vigorously secured to them;
and then, if we cannot prevent their decay aud
final disappearance, we may at least add decency
to the catastrophe and not despoil of all dignity
and honor the last moments OF an interesting aud
unfortunate race that nature and circumstances
have not prepared for civilization and its vigor'
Gus and unrelenting struggles.

Weuay slso reckon in our account the Michigan
Asylum established at Kalamazoo, by act OF the Le-
pislature in ls4S but which has not comm snced
operations. Most of the States which do not have
an institution of their own, have made provision
for tie education of their mutes in that OF some
neighborirg State. BY the plan usually adopted
each State supports those mutes who are indi'
gent for a term Of years defraying the average
annual charge of $3.50 for board and tuition. In
Indiana and Illinois, however, all mutes of those
States are admitted free of any charge. The
total number of pupils in the sixteen institutions
is about l,2OO, being about one-third of those
who are of suitable age for instruction. The ma
iori,y of the institutions receive pupils between
the ages of ten and twenty years, while the
average age of twelve years is regarded by ex-
perenced Instructors as the most favorable for
commencing instruction. Bat tits very desirable
that children should be trained from infancy, to
awaken their minds and prepare them for instruc-
tion, &c. Allpupil, are taught to labor at trades
which will support them in after life.
The number of instructors is about 100, some OF
whom are mutes. The majority of them have en-
gsged in this profession for life, and several have
been teaching for thirty years. They have held
several Conventions, though they have not yet
