The Last Of the Virginia Indians.
Mr.. C. F. H. Crockett, in q comml

Mr.. C. F. H. Crockett, in commit
nica,ion published in late number Of
the Religious Herald, gives the follow
ing interesting account of visit 10 the
las, of the Virginia Indians:
"a ride of Thirty miles took me to
the celebrated Z" White House F" in New
Kent, wkere General Washington was
married to Mrs. Curtis. was kindly
received, and shared in the true Virgin
ia hospitality of Mr.. Francis Nelson
and his excellent family. Next morn
lug crossed the river to the King
William side, where is settlement OF
the C1jckahominy Indians. They are
now called pamunkcy, from the river,
upon which they suppose they lave re-
sided some 200 years. They have Il
tract Of about 600 acres Of land, nearly
half Of which is swamp, mostly over
flowed by water. Tho tract is an island
a, high, and peninsula at low tide.
There is pure indian blood among
them. There are here nearly 100 souls;
some eight or ten are engaged as suiors;
and few are living in the surrounding
country. OF the sixteen families, thr.
teen ere mixed white, and three have
some individuals of q darker color
They have small houses and csbins
scattered over the settlement, on small
farms, which they cultivate; ard almost
every year have corn To sell, Some OF
them seem to be industrious, and man
dying, for an unculliSaied people. The
river abounds with fish, which they take
with seines, dnd sell in Richmond aud
ll.5 regions round about.
"Failing to got across tho river,

Ttems of Seems, st.
The News from Europe.

The intelligence by the steamer Pa
cifc is the most welcome we have re-
ceived since the war began, for it gives
promise of an early peace. As yet the
brief generalities Of the Telegraph only
have reachedus. Sofar as they 60 they
authorize some hope ofa speedy telmin-
alton of the war. Nor dues this hope
violate any probability. The belliger-
ents, we are satisfied, have found out
that they are paying vastly too dear for
the proiessed objects of the war, which
ever side should be ultimately won.-
Neither has yet lost any honor; each. on
the contrary, has added to its ancient re.
nown; and, as the battle may now be
considered drawn one, they may make
peace without compromising their nation
al dignity or self.love. Let the bloody
struggle however, close sooner or later,
it will be productive ofone benefit which

either party, and of far greater import

In his address to the recent Episco-
pal Convention in Western New York,
Bishop Delaney presented the claims
Of the clergy to a more adequate sup
port, and urged upon the parishes an
increase of the regular stated salaries
of the clergy, punctually paid. LIE also
RECOMMENDED that each annual thanks
giving doy be hereafter regarded by
the parishes, and by tho lalty through
out the diocese, as donation day Tor
the parish clergy. The Recommended
ton was adopted by the Convention, a
resolution being passed that each of the
parishes, on the occasion of the annual
thanksgiving day, make donation to
their parish minister, by n collection in
church, and by contributions in private
for his benefit.

The Presbyterian states that "Old
School Presbyterianism" is no where
taking root more rapidly at the West
than in the northern and middle por-
tions Of Ilinois,-that the Schuyler
Presbytery alone at its last meeting ap.
pointed committees to organize 6 new
churches within its bounds-and that
great interest is felt in bringing up the
churches as fast as possible to the self
sustaining point. On the other hand,
the Louisville Herald states that the

is warmly advocating the introduction
of congregational singing into their
church service. 1t however reprobates
an attempt which it appears is being
made, in a certain quarter, to induce
Episcopalians to have social prayer
meetings, to be conducted after the
manner Of other denominations. The
Messenger says that the reason for
preferring to have public worship on
Sunday conducted according to the pre-
scribed form, is of equal force in refer,

All gilt tcring in the light,
For slender threads Of Furnished gold

Iso him now-his loving eyes
Are fondly bent on nc,
AS light he clasps those hands his
And laughs so heartily;
But dust is on that fairy brow,
And darken'd are those eyes,
Where dwclt in stainless purity
Tho splendor Of the skies!
And laid within Lake Eiie deep,
His form unconscious sleeps,
While mcm'ry o'er that sinlcss dust
Asleeples, vigil Keeps;
Within the windi ngs &c his tomb

Yet care not, if the spirit 1.-Two,

That forms his resting.place,
And called to mind his winning ways,
His beauty and his grace;
And gluncing upward to the SKIES
That glcwcd in summer sheen,
marked the blue and boundlsss pace
That rolled our souls between!
My gentle husband when gaze
Upon thy brothers. brow,
Istrive to think how thou wouldst look
Vert thou but living now!
Blu. oh the waves Of mem'ry rush

And lf l chide the gushing tears,
They spurn my weak control!
Tkis shining lock Of silken hair

less than 100000 bushels Of wheat
from the crop of last year. This is a
larger stock than usual for this period

p@. The Genessee Evangelist con-
tains report of the Genesse Presbyte-
ry on the question: Is it right for a
member of the church to collect tolls at
the gate of q plank road on the Sab
bath? The discussion reaches the fol
lowing conclusion: We must conclude
that the disciple of Christ, who forsakes
the house of God, and employs himself
and family in the work of collecting
toll on plank road on the Sabbath, as
really violates the fourth commandment
rs the thief or the adulterer does the
sixth or the seventh.
