REVISION OF THE BIBLE.-The sub
ject of the revision of the present English
translation of the Bible continues to re-
ccive considerable attention in England.
The London Times has published twolong
letters by the Rev DIR. Cummins, in the
second OF which he contrast, by extracts,
the authoized translation with the Douay
and Rheims version, the Unitarian Im-
proved Testament. and some of the recent
issues of the American Bible Union, and
concludes by saying that, besides display
ing literary inferiority, the Douay or
Rheims translations is inspired by Roaish
bias, the new versions of the American
Union by a Baptist and Rationalistic bias
and the Improved Version bya Unita-
rian bias,

9th October 1856, BENJAMIN A. RUssEY in the
2Gth year of his aye.
The deceased embraced religion and Joined the
NJ F. Church South in 1854. He, by the hand
OF Providence. has been removed from the fond
embrace OF afiectionate wife nd an infant
child and from the association OF numerous de-
voted relatives and friends. In this dispensa:ion
the church has lost one OF its most consistent
members, and his immediate neIghborh hood a

Scarcely realize the melancholy truth
that he. who cheerful in spirits exen-
p!ary in department. and bid so fair TO live long
on earth. Is slunberiny in the cold embrace
OF death; and we almost persuaded to wonder
at the dIspensation OF Him whose ways are di-
rected by Infinite Wisdom But the Judge oil
all the Earth will do right Although we sor-
rnw. we give praise to God that We sorTow not
as those who without hope In his last
illness ne gave good testimony. exhibiting clearly

NOC- lV, ICJO-
EDIToas TELEGRAPH In the last issue
of your paper is call from Messrs. Viii
liams, Davis and others, suggesting my
name as candidate to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Hon. z. L.
Booker, which intended honor, gentlemen.
L most respectfully decline, and for vari-
Gus reasons; the mGst forcible one is the
fact that by the Constitution of the State
l am ineligible. not having arrived to the
age of thirty years, which the Constitution
makes prerequisite; and as l am and
trust ever shall remain Coz stitutien abid-
ing man, could not serve without tramp
ling upon an institution that would be
compelled to swear to defend. In the
second place, there are considerations of
personal nature which would render it
entirely impracticable ior lie to be your
standard bearer.
7. Allow i.ie the privilege. Messrs. Editors,
OF returning to yvu, aud through you to
those vino suggested my lalne, MY nearly
thanks for the inteDdcd favor. and also to
the entire American party o. Hampstead
county fUr the confidence they bestowed
upyn ME by the very iisttering vote i re
ceived at the list August election, and al
with pleasure Ihat refer tU the poiI and
see that L niust have received ;.Iaiost the
una;ii'iions vCtco the American party.
by reference to unost of iae Democratic
papers of this Site, it will be seen that
they have rejoiced and exulted in high
terms over tie result. Let us see with
what reason could it have been expected
tnat party that was making Its first cam
paign in this State should be successful,
and against Il party that dates Its ors.ani-
cation rs early as the history of the State,
and even during the time of our Territorial
Governors, and the party that holds most
o. the State offices as well as those under
the tederal lGOverninent- let us rather
be encouraged from the fact that there are
over 5.UJU voters in the young and grow
ing State of Arkansas, who are ever ready
to fight over and over the great battle for
American freedom, and attempt to prove
the problem of our forefathers, that Ameri-
cans are capable of self-government, with
out the aid of foreign tyrants, or the inter
ference of the refuse population of the
Kingdoms of Europe though dc
featcd IN one conflict, will initiate the
ureat Washington and his co-laborers, and
be ready for the fight on the morrow
With many wishes for the advancement
of the American party, and for the pres
perity of the Washington Telegraph,
| am, gentlemen, very respectfully your
friend and feliow-ctizen
A H. CARRIGAN;
