APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION.

aIUSlUulU DUOOLpDlVb
Messrs. Editors: After reading your late
extracts from Barrow on the succession Of
the apostolic Office, it occurred to me that it
might be useful to show that our church
teaches nothing inconsistent with that opin.
ion. We must distinguish between what is
technically termed "Apostolic succession"
and the assertion that Bishops are the sue.
cessors of the Apostles. Something that
goes by the former name we all recognize,
but for the latter statement there is no foun.
dation, either in Scripture or our standards.
The chief officers Of the Church bear the
same relation to the Apostles that the gov
ernors and Judges of our States bear to the
original trainers Of the Constitution in one
aspect, while in another, both may have been
administrators of the laws.
In this latter respect all ministers of Christ
may be considered successors of the Apos.
ties with this important difference, that the
Apostles had original and inspired jurisdic-
ton, while that of the subsequent ministry
is derived and fallible. Nor does the Prayer
Book teach more than this.
The rubric pre6xed to the ordinal is mere.
ly declarative of the fact which no Episco.
paliau disputes, that Holy scriptures and an.
cient authors-not Holy scriptures alone, as
Bishop H. U. Onderdouk attempted to prove
render it evident that there have been from
the Apostles times three orders of the min.
istry. See the collect in the Office of lnstitu.
ton, "Most gracious God, who Of thy a0ise
providence hast appointed divers orders in
thy Church" "They are not appointed by
the authority ofa divine command, so as to
make departure from them for sufficient
cause positive sin, but by Gods wise
providence just as in the governments of
States :. the powers that be are ordained of
God.'"
The next collect contains, believe, the
only instance in which the phrase "Apostol-
ic succession" occurs in the Prayer Book,
and it is often triumphantly pointed to as
closing the question of succession of the
Apostolic office to Bishops, SO far as our
Church is concerned. Let US see. 1t reeds
go holy Jesus, who has promised to be with
the ministers of Apostolic succession to the
end OF the world, be graciously pleased to
bless the ministry and service of him: who is
now appointed to offer the sacrifice OF prayer
and praise to thee in this house, &C."
Now here is no Apostolic succession Of
Bishops even alluded to, save in common
with other ministers. 1t is not the Bishops
of Apostolic succession, but 8" thy ministers

GOLD MINES IN TExAs.-A San Antonio
paper conveys the impression that there are.
gold mines in Texas, known only to the In
dams, and says that the latter are frequently
seen with gold in their possession, sometimes
in small Jumps as taken from the mines, and
sometimes hammered into the shape of orna.
ments, but without alloy. They refuse to
tell where they obtain it, and appear to be
prevented from doing so by superstition.

GEN. QU1rMAN delivered a lecture few
days ago, at Jackson, Miss, before large
audience, in favor of the private conquest of
Cuba. He argued that this was the only
plan, as the attempt to purchase had failed.
and its public conquest would be rendered
barren by the emancipation of the blacks
before the Island could come in possession
of the United States. -

intervals for physicians is saved; the patient,
if at all, is restored to health much earlier
in the hospital than he can be where iudiffer.
ent nursing and careless medical attention
is given him: and finally the Doctors bill
will not be so large, for while it is the duty
and the practice Of the surgeon or attending
physician to see all their patients every day,
yet no charge is made unless prescription
is necessary; so that visits are not charged
without a tax upon the medical mind
Whereas, If the negro were at home under
his masters charge, the physician would of
course pay him visit each day, and of
course charge for each visit.
We have thought proper to say thus much
in relation to this institution, because we
regard it noble and praiseworthy enter.

the sake of humanity.-Valley Pioneer.
ESCAPE OF SLAvEs-The Washington
Union learns from Martinsburg, Virginia,
that some abolition emisaries succeeded, on
Friday evening last, in enticing from the
residence Of Hon. G. ]. Faulkner six of his
slaves. After the slaves had been run off,,
the telegraph wires east and west of Mar
tinsburg were cut to prevent the transmits.
sion of intelligence. The Portsmouth (Va.)
Transcript announces the arrest OF six slaves,
on board schooner on the river below that
town, on Saturday evening. They were
bound North. The Transcript says:
GA colored drayman of Norfolk had ap:
piled for their passage, as we are informed
and made arrangements, as he supposed, for
their safe transmission beyond the reach of
their masters. But the captain reported the
fact to the proper authorities, and steps were
taken to secure their arrest"
NEUTRALITY LAws.-We find the follow
ing piece Of news in our Northern exchan-
ges:
"A company of Canadian volunteer rife.
men, armed and equipped, bound for the
Crimea, recently passed over the Central
Railroad. The company numbers about
sixty young men, and were in high spirits.
At Boston they 60 on board packet ship
bound for Constantinople."
This is reported as coolly as if it were
only visit Of one military company to an.
other, and there is no intimation that there
could possibly be an objection to British
army marching through the United States to
attack Russia. Yet that is the amount OF
it. Why is our territory made the marching
ground-the convenience-of one of the
parties to the present European wars When
NapoleanI traverssd the Prussian doplinions,
because they afforded the mosteonvenient
road to the seat of war, it was considered a
great outrage, and was only approved on
the same principle as Nero's performance
on the lyre--that the master of forty legions
was irresistible.
We have before called the attention OF
the Government to what we considered the
unwarrantable use of American shipping in
the transport Of the allied troops and muni'
tons of war to the Crimea. We have seen
no explanation of it, and now we have the
transport of armed companies from Canada,
for the Crimea. Is this maintaining our po.
sition as neutrals?-Charleston Mercury
