CENTRAL AFRICA

A missionary of the Southern Baplis,

OF the openings for the diffusion of the

HC"lf extensive openings, populous
cities and towns. ready and willing to

aud prospect of universal peace are
signs of hope for Afiica's redemption,
then we have them. BY some myste.
nous work Of Providence this country
does not seem tn be what it once was.
There is wonderful disposition Of cir
G"mstances to favor tho gospel. From
Lagos, Tor hundreds Of miles into the
interior, have scarce doubt but the
missionary Of the cross would be recriv.

enlightened cultivator TO become a sec.

last tours To the interior, whatever Az

IN the most interesting aspect. Ishakki
ogbomlshaw. and llloIiu, together with
other cities. have their gates standing o.
pen. The last mentioned city, whose
population is perhaps half million,
two thirds of whom are Mahomedans.
and of whose opposition we had erea,
tears, on a recent visit madeby Mr.. Bow
en- invited him thirher, and promised to
appropriate lands for building purpo-

ofwhich the world is not even dream

for any country. A moro harmless, in

are scarcely to be found on the globe.

to the interior from Lagos; sometimes
through tho dense forests, not receiving

and thousands who had never before
seen the face Of white man, and that

too plain to be overlooked! Besides oil

Great Storm and Loss of Life.

The telegraph brings news of ter
ilOlc storm which commenced in the
vicinity Of New Orleans on Sunday,
Aug. | lth, and continued until Tuesday
evening following. Over two hundred
lives We're lost, and an immense amount
ofPr"Pcrty destroyed.
The effects Of the storm were most
disastrous at Last Island, u great Sum.
mer resort, and which our accounts rep
resent to have been, entirely inundated.
Every building on the island is said to
have been swept away. Ono hundr ed
and ninety dead bodies have been found
the sight of which was terrible.
1t is feared that Grand Gallon Island,
another watering place, has also been
submerged, and many lives lost a. well
as property destroyed. 1t is reported
that Unity bodies had been found on one
end Of the island.
The dead bodies a, Last Island were
PIundered by set ofpirates who inhab.
il II. 1t is supposed that at least $1O,-
600 in money, III pockets, fell into the
hands OF The pirates, and about $1,000
worth OF baggage. The loss oflhis is
land is estimated at over 500 900.
The storm extended far up the river.
At the Government Hospital, Baton
Kouge, fourteen inches Of water fell be.
tween Sunday evening and Tuesday c.
yening.
The banks Of the river at Bayou Sa.
ra cavod in, carrying away three hun.
dred residences. No lives were lost.
Several vessels were blown ashore
at the mouth Of the Mississippi.
From all sections Of the country nc.
counts continue TO pour in of the fearful
havoc that has been created.
The storm appears TO have come from
the Gulf, and it is not unlikely that some
OF the Texan ports may have suffered
severely.

Singular Coinctdcnce.--Wc visited
a few days since, a spot rendered some
what memorable as having been the
scene Of duel between two of Ken.
tucky's chivalrous sons. The position
Of the duclists about eight PAGES, was
marked by two trees, one Of which
bears the initials Of one parties of the
entire name cut into tho bark, the 9TH
or bears only the initial Of the last name
Of the other party. The tree under
which the party stood who was killed
is dead, having, rs VIC arc informed,
gradually dccoyed from that time
The other tree is singularly typical Of
the condition Of the surviving party,
who is now an inmate Of lunatic asy-
lum, standing, Us it does, with the low
or branches full Of life and yenduro,
while its top is dead and lcaacss.-
Strange thoughts crowded our mind as
VIC stood and gazod upon these unfortu-
nate witnesses Of the unfortunate deed.

Errors night hath passed away:

Drugged by sin, u sad repose,

All these passing scenes will close.

Blow the trumpet, sterner, stronger,
Send abroad the warning cry.

Powers Of hell are all abroad
Soon their dreams will end in sadness,
When they wake to meet their God.
