We have witnessed quite an interesting al,-

ratlons have been made by the students for
the formation of these clubs. and the rcsul,
has been that five have been formed. There
are also seven or eight smaller boats in the

REV. DIR. CHEEvER.-The Democratic pa
pers have made what stir they could over the
fact that some sixteen members of the Socic-
ty of Rev. DIR. Chcever, in New York, request
ed him to resign the pastoral office in the Pill
grim Church. The impression is sought to
be made that the disaffcction was caused bv
the course of DIR. Cheever in preaching upon
what are called "the moral questions of the
day Such is not the case. The sixteen
signers of the letter sympathize with him in
these matters, but base their procedure upon
the Deficiencies of DIR. Chcever as pastor

From CORRESPONDENTS from the Territory to
the city press, We learn that the project to tax
the people under the bogus laws, has met its
lust deserts, and the Marshal sent to make
assessments ordered off the Territory. a
meeting was held at Quindaro, on the I'd inst
and the unanimous sentiment was to stay
away from the polls. Gov. Walker threatens
to collect the taxes, and if he tries to do so,
another war is inevitable.
We learn from the Quindaro Chindowon
that OH the lst of June meeting was held IN
Lawrence. on the occasion of the visit OF
" Deputy Marshal" deputy Sheriff" As
SCISSOR" Fain. to assess the property OF the
citizens of Lawrence The speakers at the
meeting spoke bitterly against the idea tax
alton without representation, and many OF
them said they would not pay the taxes as
sessed by the Ruifians, and this was the pop
ular sentiment of the meeting. The follow
ing is the pith of the preamble and resolu
tons adopted with emphatic unanimity:-
Whereas, We understand that a person
claiming to be deputy Sheriff and Assessor o
Taxes under the authority of the Bogus Leg
islaturc, is now in our midst; and whereas
we utterly repudiate the authority of all per
sons claiming to be officers of that Lcgisla
ture and. whereas, the moneys so fraudu
lcntlv collected from our people have been
and may agoin be appropriated i'll part. to de
fray the expenses incurred in burning hotels
and private dwellings,. destroying printing
presses. sacking towns and plundering thu
property and outraging the dearest rights o

AN ARTICLE in the last New England, treat ing of the powers of the ministry, mentions as one of its clements, physical strength. "As a general rnlc," says the writer, :" no mans throat fails until the rest Of his body becomes weakened And no mans nervous system be- comes unable to bear the strain of study until the whole physique has been reduced to the condition of the hot house plant The first, second and third things necessary to give the preacher tody, through which he can preach to the purpose, is open-air exercise. Why are our Methodist brethren able to perform such an amount of sentorian preaching with safety ? Because they l;yc irore on horseback, and less in the study, than is common among the set tied pastors under other systems of charch order" v

There was but one coil left. 1t had reached the top, :" Thank, Thank God P exclaimed the wife She hid her face in her hands in si- lent pfarcr,,s and trembling rsjoiced.ga Inc rope was up The iron to which 1t should be fastened WAS there ali right; but would her husband be able to make use of them! would not the terror of the past hour have so nn- nerved him. as to prevent him from taking the necessary measures for his safety? Sine did not know the magic influence which her few words had exercised over him. She did not know the strength that the sound of her voice so calm and steadfast, had filled him with--as if the little thread that carried him the hope of life once more had conveyed to him some portion of that faith in God, which nothing ever destroyed or shook in her true heart. She did not know that, as he waited there, the words came over him, Why art thou cast down, o my soul ? and why art thou disquieted within me ? Hope thou in God" She lifted up her heart to God for hope and strength. She could do nothing more for her husband, and her heart turned to God, and rested on a rock @~.<@4
 TLcre was great shout sggt He's safe, mo- ther, he's safe," cried little Tom. ( Thon' st saved me, Mary" said her husband, folding her in his arms. But what ais thee? Thou seem'st more sorry than glad about it." But Mary could not speak and if the strong arm of her husband had not held her up, she would have fallen to the ground--the suddea joy, after such great fear had overconles her. " Tom,n said his father, let thy mother lean on thy shoulder, and we will take her hoa,e." And in their happy home they pourcds forth their thanks to God for his greut goodness and their happy life together felt dearcr and holier for the peril it had been in, aud for the ncarness that the danger had hro't them unto God. Aud the holiday next day-was it not, indeed, a thanksgiving day?
