able to prospects Of peace. Count Esterhazy
is said to have had an interview with Count
Nesselrode; but, according to public rumor,
no approach to the delicate subject of the
adjustment of terms of peace was made
The feeling in St. Petersburg so far as it can
be aseertaiued, seems warlike. Prince Mem

On the Continent the impression prevails that

Cronstradt is filled with artillery Of the most

BIBLE CAUSE.

Mr.. s. p. Ipins-Dear Sir The Anniver-
sary Meeting Of the Mca:inn County Bible
Society was held in Athens, on Sabbath, 18th
inst. In consequence Of the very uniavora
BILE weather the congregation was not one
third as large rs usual on such occasions IN
your town, but IL is thought the collection
wns good under the circumstances, amounting
to $4,000. The officers Of the Society for the
year, are Rev. g. A. Caldwell, Rev. 5. Phil
lips, NJ. p. Jarnngn, r. N. McEwen and W..
II. Balew. The Society has competent dis
tribnting agent employed, and 1t is their de-
termination TO have the county of Mcahnn
thoroughly supplied with the Holy Scriptures
during the present year. This is the first
duty of every auxiliary Bible Society, to see
that its own field is well supplied. W. IL.
Ballew is the Treasurer, and acts as the de-
pository of the Society, where the citizens Of
the county can purchase Bibles and Testa-
ments at very low rates. 1t is one principle
Of the American Bible Society to keep the
Bible cheap book, aud thereby encourage
all to supply themselves well. Our deposit
tories every where are authorized to give the
Bible to those Who are really destitute and
poor. by selling the Bible at about cost and
carriage to all who wish to purchase, and
giving it freely to those who cannot buy, the
Bible Society is doing vast amount of good
in tie world. Many nations are now receiv.
ing it through this medium who never would
have been blessed with its light but for the
existence of Bible Societies. The ultimate
object of this institution is to put the Bible
into the hands of every man; where this is
done the foundation is laid for the destruc
ton of monarchy in civil government, and
this is the way, eff'ectually to remove off Of
all nations the crushing yoke which Roman.
ism has bound upon them, both in civil and
religious affairs. Give the people the Bible,
an open book, for il is wiser than all councils,
better preacher than all priests, and more
authoritative than popes. 1t is Gods word,
the influence of which has been shown for
many centuries upon individuals families,
communities and nations, and is always good
Those who obey it become more intelligent,
refined, prosperous and happy, while those
who reject it, Or have it not, are ignorant,
degraded and miserable.
There are many liberal citizens of Your
county who will not be able to see and
ask to mid us, by their means. in this great
enterprise, aud hope all such will do them
selves the pleasure and the Bible cause the
fapor to call at W. II. Ballow's and make
such contribution rs they may see proper,
to give the Bible to those who have it not.
Yours, very respectfully,
r.-.. j. ATKINS.

LITTLE HOPE SABBATH SCHOOL.
Mr. Editor:--It needs no argument to con-
vince all rational minds that well conduct
ed Sabbath School is very excellent thing,
and that it makes n deep and lasting impress,
sion for good upon the minds of the young
and rising generation. But unfortunately,
they are usually surrounded by circumstances
unfavorable % their long continuance. Camp.
meetings, protracted meetings and inclement
weather. most generally have n tendency to
bring them to an ct,rupt termination. But
not so the Sabbath School at Little Hope. /
had the pleasure of visiting it to-day, and was
happy to find it in hourishing condition,
with good library, good teachers. and some
fifty scholars 1t has been organized about
five months. and in defiance of train, hail and
snow" it has continued to increase in numbers,
interest and usefulness. One feature in the
exercises ] especially admired, and that was
interpreting the exercises with lessons in vo.
cal music. How delightful to hearlittle boys
and girls join in hymning praises to their
Maker
Some Of the members Of the Bible class have
distinguished themselves by committing to
memory lar,e number Of verses during the
week. One young lady committed / 80 verses,
another 200, and two boys, William Trotter
and Willie Love, 22S verses each, besides
reading some 400 pages of hlstory-all after
night l call that hard to beat and worthy of
q premium, and if any Sabbath School scholar
in the county has surpassed that, under SINH
lar circumstances. / shall be pleased to see it
reported through the Post. All praise is due
the patrons, teachers and scholars for their
industry, good behavior, and determination
TO continue the School in defSnce of wind
and weather. May Little Hope Sabbath
School continue to prosper and flourish until
all the young men and ladies are married,
and the little boys and girls have become
learned, moral and religious!
