A Now Sect.

The Washington STAR of Monday, SAYS: The
denomination called Disciples of the Church of
God. " had baptsing yesterday Sunday after
noon, at the foot OF Eighth street Island. The ex-
IRENE beauty of the dav, and the novelty of the
ceremonial induced large attendance; the i'm
mediate river shores being lined with spectators,
and also the high bluff overlooking the scene.
This Society, we believe, advocates a restoration
of the original Gospel and order of things they
regarding all the sects and parties of the RELIGIOUS
world as having departed from the simplicity of
faith and manners of the first Christians, and as
forming what the Apostle Paul calls "the Aposta-
cav" They deny the validity of infant baptism,
and maintain the necessity of immersion in run
ming water Two persons, a male and female,
were baptised yesterday, and the rite per
formed by Rev Jesse Appler of this city, assisted
by the Rev. John Mitchell of Baltimore.
hymn sung, prayer offered, and then the
assemblage was addressed by Mr.. Mitchell, blind
man. and who has lost an arm. His defamation
delivered with rough energy and with singular
transitions from the sentoran shout to the CONVEX
sationaI tone, was mainly denunciatory of other
denominations, and especially of their baptismal
forms-sprinkling p@do-baptism, and church bap-
tism Gin warm pools of water" 1.-THE man bap
tsed like fool in churc might find that he was
baptised In damnatiOn," and Washington
City. he thought particularly hard place, and
Baltimore was like unto it. The two les he des-
ignatcd twin cities of SodOm."
The candidates for baptism, dressed in gowns of
white muslin loaded at the bottom to make them
sink were then brought to the waters edge, and
in turn led into the river by the officiating Elder.
When at a sufficient depth, the candidate, sup
ported under the shoulders by the right hand of
the minister, was leaned backwards and dipped
once, the usual words, Il baptizs thee" &c, be-
ing uttered by the minister at the same tine
On emerging from the water, the friends of the
candidates wiped their faces with napkins, and
threw dry wooden clothing them. The au-
dience was afterwards dismissed with a brnedic-
ton.
In the evening this Society met at Temperance
Hall to celebrate the Lords Supper and the
washing of the saints feet" which was per-
formed literally by the members, who we're clad in
white aprons for the occasion. part of the ex-
ercses consisted of some very audible kissing
among the male communicate The hall was
densely crowded, and the audience, composed
largely of boys, mounted upon the seats and in
other ways, exhibited so much clamOrOus solicit
tude to get a good look at what they evidently
viewed as a capital farce, to draw character
istic rebuke from the no-wsys ''mealy mouthed"

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1857.
INC LeaisIature and Ranks.


Front manner in which the Central
Organ of the Tennessee democracy has
pursued the discussion of the ''Banks and
Banking" topic, and considering the we'll
known loyalty of that party as body, to
its leaders, we should have easily conclu-
ded that the Democratic Legislature,
would have met and disposed of all those
questions relating to our currency, which
the disiointed times and their Unchanged
BILE principles have suggested. But in this
we are disappointed. On the contrary,
the efforts, so far, have been fruitless, ex-
cept that it has thrown around the delib-
erations of the Assembly, the characters
tics of the decentralization Office" The
main question of what shall be done? has
given place to that Of chow not to do
it?"-and the latter is answered from day
to day by postpOnement. "How long will
you abuse our patience" is now the inter
rogatory, which comes up from the people
on all sides, and while the dominant major
ity refuses to answer it, may their guilty
silence overWhelm and crush them before
their Judges, as was the arch Roman con-
spirator under the like interrOgatOry.
Several of the self-confident champions of
democracy, have presented bills to the
Legislature to dispose of the enigma.
Most Of them have been printed, laid on
the members desks and passed over in 81,
lence. In the House, that proposed by Mr..
Polk, in lieu of the one concocted and re-
ported by the Bank committee, was taken
up, and discussed for several days during
this and last week; and having arrived at
the It'll or 9Th section, the democratic
phalanx come to sudden halt on the
personal liability" clause And since
then they have been urged to go on,
but not an inch will they move
Democratic checks, which never blanched
in facing a foe, are marked all over with
the emblems of fear at the sedition which
prevails in their own ranks. We under
stand that they have gone so far as to send
up full statement of the evils upon which
they have fallen, for the consideration of
his majesty, KING CAUCUS. If this be true,
we have no doubt, in due time, that func-
tionary will issue his ukase, and quiet the
spirit of rebellion and revolution.
The people must, therefore, be content to
await further developments. We have no
sort of idea, what will be the character of
legislation on the currency question; and
we believe that our condition is not differ
ent from that of the rest of the State, in
Guiding the democratic members of the
Legislature. In the present state of trep-
idation and alarm, confusion and uncer-
tainty necessarily oVerhangs the entire
subject. We shall see what we shall see.

An Eloquent Illustration.

The Louisville Journal says: Amidst the
chaff and rant and fustian that for the most
part characterized the speeches of the dema-
gogues who were the active promoters of the
''huuger meetings" in New York, there now
and then was heard the voice of a real work
ing man who uttered cOmmendable sentiments
clothed in most eloquent language. One of
the speakers denounced the politicians, and
urged his hearers to combine for the election
of members of their own class to city and
State office, and, in enforcing his views,
made use of the following beautiful ilustra-
ton:
Let Us bear in mind the temple of Minerva.
When the Athenians built that magnificent
structure, statue was wanted to place upon
it's top. A poor mechanic was induced by
his friends to compete for the prize with IA
vorite and wealthy sculptor of noble birth.
The day for raising the stone came-that of
the patricjan was unveiled, and raptures of APP
pause greeted the revelation. But it was in
truth SO small that as ii assembled its beauty
disappeared, and when it reached the
TOP it seemed buUa shapeless block. The stat
ne of the poor mechanic was next unveiled. 1t
seemed huge and uncouth, aud resembled no.
thing divine or human. But as it assembled its
apparent deformites disappeared; it grew
more and more comely, and finally, when it
Ioaoueu Tue Top II seeuheu ahiLiaCe Win uIFlue
beauty and life. The poor mechanic won the
laurel, and was borne off amid the shouts of
the multitude. Let US, | say, bear this in
mind. If among US there are men who ap-
pear rough and uncOuth, it is because we have
not lifted them TO that proud position they
are fitted to honor; it Is because We have left
them in obsourity to elevate the panderng
and INSCRIPTIONS who promise only to de-
Ceive US.
There is truth and wisdom in this advice
1t has the ring of the true metal.

FFroH the Cincinnati Gazette.
cool matrimonial affair took place at the
Walnut Street House on Sunday evening
About six o'clock, a minister called upon the
proprietor and stated that he made an appoint
ment to marry a couple at that hour in the
parOr of the hotel. The landlord knew of no
one in the establishment who was matrimonial
~ inclined. Not soul about the house had
declared their Intentions of anything so des-
perate. The minister began to think he had
been humbuRged-that he bad been made the
dupe Of some practical joker, and began to
feel quite uncomfortable at his position.
Half an hour rolled around, and the minis
ter was ahout taking bis departure, when the
sde-doOr bell rang, and gentleman and lady
made their appearance. At the door of the
ladies' parlor they were met by the minister
Without saying a word the couple walked into
the parlor, where two or three guests were as
sembled, the lady coolly took off her bonnet
and shawl, pinned on a collar at the looking
glass, nodded to the gentleman, who imme-
diately placed himself at her side, and in less
time than we have taken TO tell so much of
the story, they were pronounced man and wife
and had departed. No one knew who they
were. The minister bad, their names, but he
was as much In the dark as any one else, be-
yond the usual information conveyed by a
marriage license. They came on foot, and left
in the same way. The lady was young and very
pretty, al the gentleman genteel appearing.
Not over five minutes elapsed from the time
of their arrival at the Walnut, TO their depar-
ture from the house.
ThOre was q mystery about the whole affair,
that gave it an air Of romance. Was it runa-
way match, resorting to this method of &C
complishing their hymenisl projects, without
the knowledge of parents or guardianf Had
any breakfast table in town one less familiar
face yesterday morning, whose absence was
unexplained.
