h;- The American Board Of Mis-.
sions has recent letters from the Rev
Mr.. Bridgeman, dated at Fuh Chau,
in which the writer says:
The missionaries are all zealously
engaged in preaching the Word, each
one having his own appointed tiuses
and places. Three Of them have re.
Gently commenced a joint or union
service, to be held once each Lords
day. This is intended to be more or
Derby and methodical than the other
more informal services. II is to be a
model service, conducted as in Chris
tian lands.
The other services, held both on
the Lords day and on other days oil
the week, are like wayside preaching,
The door Of the chapelis opened, the
preacher takes his stand, and the
hearers come and 60, sit or stand,
listen or gaze, are silent or interrogate
as they please. This is sowing broad.
cast-the most common method pur-
sued at all the ports. 1t is well known
in Fuh Chau by all the brethren
They have got into good position and
work well. For their union services
they need more spacious meeting
house. like one just being finished by
the brethren of the Methodist mission,
house to accommodate about three
hundred hearers. Mr.. Doolittle's
want Of voice is likely to be supplied,
in part at least, by the man who has
been recently received there into the
church-the first fruits of the mis-
sion. The man acts in the two fold
capacity Of teacher in the school and
preacher in the chapels.
In the book department-the dis
tribution of Bibles and tracts--they
are on the right track. Their meth
cd of selling books is good one. In
time it will become great business.

attempt TO Burn the Post Office al
Delaware, Ohio.
We learn from Mr.. Stayman, the
Post Master Of Delaware, Ohio, that
the Post Office at that place was en-
tered last night and robbed of all the
letters that arrived there last night in
the Northern mail. and those in the
boxes for delivery, except about a
dozen.
Mr.. S. states that the number OF
letters stolen amounted to three hun
bred in all. OF their value he can
make no guess. The small amount
Of money in the drawer was not
taken.
After the theft had been committed,
the thief or thieves set the Office on
FIRE in three different places: Forum
ately the fire progressed slowly. and
it was discovered from the smoke in
time to put it out before much dam
age was done.

DEAR SrAspAap;-Every one Is

justice apply 10 Missouri for aid now,
when we know hundreds Of men are
entering the territory. under the lead

the sole purpose OF voting.
This coming election will. ! think,

here again; and the winter will kill of

weather It out. Many of the old
Free Sellers here, l. O., those who
were here previous to the disturbances,
will vote the pro-slavery ticket. They
prefer slaves to free negroes. and,
since the question Is now slaves or no
slaves, they prefer to vote for slaves.
They are, too. / think, rather disgust

ers have been behaving lately, who
fight for "plunder. and principle"

The VorE IN ST. LouIs.-One Of
the most remarkable facts connected
with the election is the statement pub
lished elsewhere. which shows that
the Germans Of ST. Louis, with other
Democrats who are opposed to the
slavery principles Of the Buchanan
party, voted for Mr.. Fillmore. in con
sequence of which the latter carried
the city and county by large major
ity. This single circumstances shows
the opposition to modern Democracy is
deep rooted in the hearts OF those who
are opposed to the extension of slave
ry. The Democratic papers Of St.
