by the healing of this breach. Aad whilst the In
dependents do honestly entertain the views OF doc-
trine for which they contend, and therefore, can
not in conscience yield them, We regard these oii-
ferences as, by no means sufficient to keep apart
those who harmonic on all the leading doctrines
of Gods word and we felt heartily willing to a
dopt the "Confession of Faith" as system. But
DIR. LELAND, and others think that this course
would have. been altogether inconsistent-and
truly, CONSISTENCY jewel" III have been COR
rectly Informed at least one of the prominent Min
;sters of the Presbyterian Church did adopt the
Confession uith resruations, as important, in my
Indictment, as these made in the present instance
But whilst we regret the continued separation,
we can but pursue our way, and endeavor to serve
God with whatever ability and strength He may
bestow upon us. And our earnest prayer is, that
God may bless the Presbyterian Church; for al
though we cannot consider it infalible, We regard
it as approaching nearer, in doctrine and discip-
line to the Apostolic Church, than any other with
which we are acquainted. And we must still
cherish lively affection for Bethel Presbytery,
assured that this Presbytery has acted in good
faith, and from pure motives.
May God prosper and succeed this people, and
may his richest blessings rest upon them and upon
us. AN INDEPENDENT.

which we interpret the term, in that section IS
quite evident. But the causes which have pro-
duced this condition of things are more occult
The hatred and animosity engendered between the
two sections of the Union, however, foolish 1t
seems, may be the natural consequence OF causes
which, could they be fully comprehended, would
influence as strongly and forcibly the judgment
and reason Atany rate, it seems to us quite uh-
statesmanke to attribute the present condition OF
affairs to trivial and superficial causes. a small
spark may ignite Magazine, but the comousuole
material must first be collected together. We
may imagine that the entire commotion springs
from the fanaticism of few, insignificant aboll-
tionists. We may solace ourselves with the be-
lief that little policy can cure this ulcer we
may talk very calmly about false alarms. Ana
there will be many who are silly enough to think
such fmsy, superficial reasoning correct. But
any one who will calmly review the history Oh the
past, from the Revolution to the present day. ana
whose foresight extends beyond the surface OF al

stronger under-current Whlch II oe"iins us 0A -
an irresistible impulse.
The solution of the problem cnn only be found
in a natural antagonism between the two sections
which must inevitably result in separation or
in the subjugation of the weaker TO one OF these
results every movement tends and one or the other
must surely follow. If separation, it is best to
look it bravely and manfully in the face and It's
terrors will soon vanish-if subjugation we may
expect it to come with stealthy tread and fasten
the manacles on our hands, for We of the South

REV. MIR. BoYCEs ADDRESS.

REV. NH. BOXCES ADOhGSSs
Mesrs. Editors:--I had the pleasure Of being
present at Centre Church on Saturday evening
last and of hearing the address Of Rev. E. E.
BoYcE, delivered by request Of Centre Division
on the subject Of Temperance
OF this address-the special subjects examined
the nature Of the arguments adduced-the con-
clusions established-the duties inculcated, &c.,
&c., would have much to Say, but that it is un-
derstood, the Division will respectfully insist on
the Speakers placing his address on paper, and
suffering the Division to have it published in the
columns Of the EsaUIRER. This much at least
the address deserves. To do less is Lighting .
candle and putting it under bushel, instead Of
placing it in candle.stick. Let it be placed In
the eandt-sdek of our District, and there let Il
shed its genial and ,vivifying rays, abroad. It's
publication must and will do good: "for no false
hood can endure touch Of celestial temper
Truth, like the spear of Ithuriel, soon unmasks
error, no matter what shape it assumes and must
finally triumph.

every matter touched by him. There was no in

bout the address. All was clear as cloudless sun

lighted--were strengthened in their good work.

The Western Crops.

The Cincinnati Price Current speaks thus upon
the authority of its very voluminous correspon.
dence, concerning the crops and kindred matters
1.-THE wheat harvest is now going on in South
ern Tennessee and Virginia, and is about over In
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. In sandy,
dry lands in Kentucky, wheat gives indications
of maturity and from one place in Southern nli-
nois we have advices of its being cut. There 10
now but bare possibility to prevent the wheat
crop of the Union being not only the largest, but
the best ever garnered and the same may be said
of grass, oats, barley and potatoes. Wewould re-
mind our readers, however, that just two years
ago the prospects were as good as they are now
Yet, wet weather greatly damaged the hay. oats
and wheat but so much rain has fallen during
May and June this year, which was not the case
that year, the prospects of dry harvest weather
this season are better and we repeat, it is but
barely possible that the crops will be injured by
wet this season.
samples of new barley and wheat were e1hib-
tied in this market during the week. The quali-
ty of both is superior. The wheat is from Ten
nessee and the barley from Southern Illinois,
There was not croaking expression in one Of the
large number of letters We received during the
week Generally they report the corn backward,
but the plant healthy. All other crops are repor-
ted growing in the greatest profusion. Teere can
be no doubt entertained that abundance Of food
and low prices will be the great feature Of tho
coming season.
"The crops in Europe are generally reported
favorable, and should they turn out as we'll as
they PROMISE it is clear but little will be needed
of US except at extreme low prices. The high
price Of breadstufs, the last few years, has stim-
ulated the cultivation of them in all countries in
the world which will lead to greater abundance
than we may be prepared to witness. This is the
case in the United States and Canada, we know,
and the advices from France, Spain, Russia, Ger
many the Baltic provinces, and the British Isles,
leave little doubt that such is the case there.

ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON ALGEBRA,

By D. II. HILL, Professor Of Mathematics in d.
Edison College, North Carolina. Published by
Lippmcon, Grambo & Co., Philadelphia.
We have glanced over some of the proof-sheets
of the above work, and have no hesitation in pro-
nouncing it equal to what the known reputation of
Maj HILL warranted US in expecting. We were
prepared for book, which should prove an auxil-
iary to the young student, and we have not been
disappointed Prof HILL has succeeded admira-
bly, as an instructor, and fully comprehends the
wants, as we'll as the capacities of beginners; and
the definitions and illustrations of his work are
such as must strike most forcibly the youthful
mind. This treatise on Algebra will, we doubt
not, soon become text book in our academies and
colleges.
The author is a native of our District, and his
name has been spoken of in connection with the
S. c. College. There is no man more deserving
of ssplace in the picture" nor any who better

THE TEMPERANCE PICNIC.

Our friends of Union Division, No. A, Sons of
Temperance, have thrown down the gauntlet, and
challenged any other Division in the District to
take it up, that they will make larger contribu-

pleasing evidence of their zeal in the great cause
of Temperance, and know their willingness and
ability to act we'll their part, but there are others
with .sbeavers up" ready to enter the list, and

THE INDEPENDENT PREsBYTERIANs.
IL. .; H,n,,,

We publish in this issue n communication from
can Independent" in regard to the recent action
of the General Assembly rejecting the 'bass of
union" adopted by the Bethel Presbytery and the
Independent Church. These comments are made
we are assured, in no spirit of controversy-but
with view solely to correct before our public
the several statements upon which, in some degree,
the action of the Assembly was based. We trust
they will be received in the kindly spirit with
which we know they were written, and tend, if
possible to consummation of the end so earn
estly desired by all parties.
We must be permitted to express profound re-
gret that union was not effected From m in
innate association with many members of the In
dependent Church, arising from the dearest ties
of life, and somewha. extensive acquaintance
with the Bethel Presbytery, we know, we but ex.
press the sentiment Of large majority of both de-
nominations in the bounds ofthat Presbytery. Thus
circumstanced, we are better enabled to appre-
ciate the beneficial results of the proposed union.
We cannot suppress the conviction that its con-
summation, would have given q new impetus to
the moral and religious progress of our communi
ty; yielding an abundant harvest, a full realiza-
ton of its amplest magnitude, to be enjoyed only
in the broad, calm, sunlight of eternity. Let
us still cherish the hope that the Churches inter-
ested will continue to strive to that end with the
same spirit of kindness and mutual concession
which has thus far marked their efforts. The In
Dor is one of too much moment to be lightly thrown
aside

If his course is sustained by the Administration
it will have tendency to tear open afresh the po'
litical wounds, and bring the Chief Executive into
disrepute with the South. He has always been
looked upon as not above suspicion, and was only
taken by many as choice between evils, and
course of this kind would confirm the worst fears
of the slave holding States, and destroy oil conf
dence in his administration.

rnMpERANcE CELEBRATION.

Remember the twenty-third! We expect TO
have every thing that can please the taste, or de-
lirht the fancy or charm the reason Of temperate
men. Bountifn CERES will spread out the offer
inrs of o rich harvest; the dainty hands of woman
will contribute the nameess delicacies; and bright
sparkling water, brewed by the hand of the AL
mighty himself, will reflect back the beauty of
radiant woman. Prof. J. H. CARLISLE, Judge
O'NEALI, and perhaps Gen. CAREY, will be present
to add the illuminatons of reason, wit and humor,
to the occasion. Come and be made strong in
the faith; come if you are still wrestling with
temptation; come if you have friends or relatives,
whom YOU desire 20 raise from the mephitic at-
mosphere of the bar-room and make "stand erect
in all the dignity of virtuous freedom" come if
you have any philanthropy; come if your religion
is not the "whstle Of name"; come if you ap-
preciate beauty, wit or eoquence, and join in our
festivities.
We doubt not but that our friends in the country
will attend generally, and enter into generous en-
ulation in assisting the central Divisions. 1t is
not to them we send our invitation; it is to those
who have never heard or are afraid to hear the
truth 1t is this class We wish to gather here, to
partake of our feast, and to hear orators that
they may go away impressed with the good taste
of our ladies, the benevolence of our cause, and
the responsibility resting on themselves to enlist
under our broad-sprend banner. Come then if
YOU can face the truth. Those Mt distance are
invited to partake of our hospitality. Come let
us cherish the kindest sympathies; let us meet
around the festive board and exchange brotherly
greetings. The occasion will be one of peculiar
interest-from the numbers that will be here-as
we'll as from the "feast of reason and the flow of
soul" which we expect to enjoy. Come then, one
and all, the Jealous, the lukewarm, the idle and
the busy, the inquistive and the sceptical-come

MAYOR WOnn's POLICE.


Many of our citizens have been coguizant OF the
fact that Mayor Wood in filing vacancies in various
Wards that in his mind existed by majority OF the
Police force formerly under bis command reporting
themselves to the Metropolitan Police Commissioners
has appointed mes Of most desperate characters-
who have occupied Cells in the Penentiary, and even
Gone the State service in the Sing Sing Prison.
Numbers of the appointees Of Mayor Wood have
recently been found in the streets intoxicated handy
ing words with prostitutes and hand in glove with
corner loafers and rOwdies. Among those appointed
in the Fifteenth Ward we might name:
Warren JudkiDs, who arrested in August, 1884,
for passing counterfeit coin, to which he pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to six months confinement
in Kings County Jail. .,
Joseph Sands, who arrested for cruelty beating
his other, and sent TO Blackwelfs Island. lie was
appointed Sergeant. =, ..,
James Conway who was arrested on the nth OF
July, 1856, for stabbing with intent to KILL and was
sentenced to six months on BlackwelPs Island.
HOW THE DECISION WAS RECEIVED IN BROOK
LYN.
Those of the Police who favor the Metropolitan Po-
lice bill in ecstacies last evening at the decision
of the Court of Appeals. At the First District Sta.
ton. House the men raised subscriptions among them
selves and bought candles with which they illuminated
the building, and also procured flag and displayed it
from the upper story. Mayor Powell came to wit
ness the display, and appears very well satisfied with
things as they are. A cannon was to have been hred
in honor of the event, but the evening was SO wet
that it concluded to postpone the salute until
more suitable period.
