SOUND DOCTRINE.

The following arguments, in favor Of advance
payment for newspapers, were advanced by
the Ohio Editorial Convention, at it's recent ses-
sion:
'sWhat would you think Of farmer who had
raised thousand bushels of wheat, and who
should sell it to thousand different persons
scattered all over the State, and agree to wait a
year for his pay from each Of them, and if one
half of them did not pay at the end of the year,
he should give them another bushel Of wheat,
and agree to wait another year for his pay, and
thus go on year after year? How long would
such farmer escape bankruptcy? probably not
very much longer than publishers of newspa-
pers who followed such practice. It costs the
editor of a weekly paper as much to supply a
thousand subscribers with it for one year as it
costs farmer to raise thousand bushels of
wheat. The farmer sells his grain in bulk, and
either takes the cash or note just as good as
cash upon delivery. The editor cannot sell his
thousand papers in bulk They are sold to thou
sand different persons, living in different towns
in the county, and different counties in the
State, and he must wait until the end Of the
year before he can get his payment, and then he
depends wholly upon the honesty and respon-
ssbility of the subscribers, for it is impossible
that he should know the character Of all bis
subscribers. It would not pay him to go a.
round or send around the county or State to
collect his dues. It would cost more than the
collections would come to-

FROM KANSAS.

THE CONSTITUTION WITH SLAVERY CARRIED
st. Louis, Dec. 2S.-Kansas advices to the
,22d have been received. The constitution with
the slavery provision has been carried by large
majority. The returns are meagre. It was re
ported at Lawrence that letters h ad been re
ceived by the republicans that body of met
had gone to Lecompton to seize the territoria
arms also, that Gen. Lane had gone to For
Scott with the intention to destroy that place
and exterminate the pro-slavery settlers on the
Shawnee reservation and carry the war into
Missouri.
General Denver had assumed the Governor
ship, and issued an address exhorting the peo-
pie to appeal to the ballotbox for the settlement
of their difficulties.
: 1t is stated also that President Calhoun, Of
the Constitutional Convention, has invited him
self and the officers of the Legislature to be pre-
sent at the counting Of the returns. There is
nothing authentic from Fort Scott.
A second dispatch, of the same date, says
A bearer Of dispatches from the acting Govern
or of Kansas passed through here yesterday for
Washington. The poll was not opened at Law
renee. e
The Lawrence convention was to meet Qfathe
F23d to decide whether to vote for State officers.
Many favor such course with the view Of
crushing the State government. Mr.. Stanton
is mentioned as a candidate for Governor. g

Tribute of Respect.

Mr.. EDITOR: The following is the result Of
the action of the .Vestry of Trinity Parish, Of
this county, at meeting held on December 9th
1857:
Whereas, it has pleased our Heavenly Father
to remove from our midst Gen. WILLIAM MAT
THEws, at a good old age; and whereas, the
said Gen. MATTHEWS had been a member OF
this Vestry for more than thirty years; and in
no instance had absented himself from an APP
pointed meeting when his health would permit
his attendance; therefore,
Resolced, That while we recognize the hand
of Providence in the decease of our co-laborer
for the welfare Of the Parish, we at the same
time deplore the loss of one so punctual-so
faithful-and so long tried. y 49,
Resolped, That these proceedings be publish
ed in the Port Tobacco Times, and that a copy
of them be sent. to Mrs. MATTHEWS, together
with the expression Of our sincere coincidence.

| Our Divine Saviour, Jesus, wept at the grave
OF His friend Lazarus--and so, kindred affection
and Christian friendship may drop sympathetic
tear at the early tomb of our gentle and beloved
friend and sister. But little while ago, we saw
thee in all thy youthful bloom, and bridal Joy and
Iloveliness-anlmated, we doubt not, by bright an
tlcipations of long and useful and happy career
here below. Now, alas! the gorgeous bow of
thy fancy's creation has vanished with the transit
ent 'smorning cloud" and thou art numbered
with the departed! And is it, indeed. so, that
stthe place which once knew thee, shall know
thee no more forever?" 1t is even so-and we
shall-we must miss thy we'll known face and
form, thy mild and gentle voice and smile, and
friendly greeting, in thy once familiar haunts, in
the social gathering-in the holy place of God,
SO often sought by thee for fervent prayer and
praise. Still. "the Lord gave thee, and the Lord
hath taken thee away'-and, "will not the Lord
of all the earth do right?'' 1t is but the meet
homage Of Christian faith and of true wisdom to
say in this-:as under every other dispensation of
Supreme Goodness and Wisdom-ssThy will be
done - tBlessed be the name of the Lord -
Though short the mortal life of our young friend,
it was redolent of social and domestic excellence
and affection, and radiant with Christian hope and
virtue-s'we sorrow not, therefore. as Others who
have. no hope" For she lived quite long enough
to ''choose that good part, which shall never be
taken away from her"-and to "make her robes
white in the blood Of the Lamb" Ours, there
fore, is only a fearful regret that one SO loved,
and gentle and excellent hath so soon been taken
away from us = ! :.

And flowers to wither at the north wind breath,
And stars to set-but all,

ToBAcco.-There appears to be an almost en-

week. The commission agents show no DISPOSE
ton to press sales, while the accounts of the gem
eral stagnation of business in Holland and Ger
many deter purchasers from making any opera
tons uutll the condition of things is more settled.
In Ohio Tobacco we hear of nothing doing this
week. Shippers are not very anxious to purchase
early packed Tobacco, except at low figures, and
the little stock in Market less than 100 hhds., is
held at higher rates than shippers are willing to
give. 1t is not probable that much will be done
before the market opens in the Spring.

LATE News FROM EURoPE.-The steamer
Persia, with advices to the 18th, reached New
York on Friday. The financial intelligence is,
upon the whole, favorable. <TheCotton market
had experienced afurther decline. The market
for Breadstuffs had improved, showing an adj
vance in Flour of the inferior brands. The
Bank Indemnity Bill had passed the British
Parliament. That body was expected to adj
journ over till February.
We have fortnight's later news from India
full of interest The reinforcements for the
British army continued to arrive, and the pros
pect of the speedy suppression Of the mutiny
was frightening every day. Nofresh outbreaks
had occurred. Detchments of troops from the
main army at Delhi had gained several victo-
ries over fugitive bodies Of the mutineers II
has been >ascertained that the wounded soldiers
captured by the rebels during the seige of Delhi
were burned alive. Doubtless, the announce
ment Of this horrible fact has given fresh ener-
gy and fefocity to the pursuit of the fugitives.
The life of the old king of Delhi had been spar
ed, perhaps, in consideration Of his age and inn
becility. At the date of the latest accounts
from Lucknow, the gallant Havelock and his
little army were surrounded by an army of mu-
tineers estimated at not less than ffty-seven
thousand men, who We're well supplied with ar
tillery. But Sir Colin Campbell was expected
to approach the scene of so much heroic endur-
ance, within a few days, at the head of about
ten thousand troops. No doubt was entertain
ed that the garrison would be able to hold out
until relieved. The arrival of the general-in-
chief was probably followed by a great decisive
battle, ending in the rout of the mutineers-as
brilliant an event for the British arms as has
ever occurred in the East Such victory may
be considered very safe prediction. Thence
forward, the mutineers will be nothing more
than small bodies of banditt, scattered through
the mountainous districts.

THE ARMY IN UTAH.

On Monday last the War Department receiv-
ed highly important official dispatches from the
headquarters Of the Army in Utah, dated
Blacks Fork, three miles south of Hams Fork,
November 9Th. Col. Johnston states that COL
Smith with his command and the numerous
trains guarded by it, reached there on the Sd Of
November. The march was slow and tedious,
averaging only eleven miles day, although the
road was in excellent order and the weather fine
It was not possible to make more rapid progress
on account of the broken down condition of the
draught animals. The trains including settlers
and merchants destined for Salt Lake, which he
would not allow to 90 on alone, occupied in az
close order as they could be made to travel, a
space Of from five to six miles. No molestation
whatever was attempted by the Mormons, which
may be attributed to the presence of the Caval-
ry and the judicious disposition of them and the
vigilance of Col. Smith.
On the 9th of November Col. Johnston was
to march on Fort Bridger and dislodge any force
he might find there and await the approach Of
Col. Cooke when, as the approach of winter was
too near to attempt the passage of the Nasach
range of mountains, with the probability of sue
cess, he would seize upon the district mentioned
in his letter from South Pass, and occupy it un-
til an advance shall be practicable.
The communication from Brigham Young to
Col. Alexander and from Elder Taylor to Capt.
Marcy and the orders of D. Wells, the com
mander of the Mormons, which Johnston en-
Closes and the acts Of the legislative assembly
at the last session show, he says, matured and
settled design on the part of the sect of the Nor
mons to hold and occupy the Territory indepen-
dent of and irrespective of the authority Of the
United States. Il
Occupying, as they do, the attitude of rebel
lion and open defiance of the Government, con-
neeted with numerous overt acts of treason, Col
Johnston has ordered that whenever they are
met with in arms, they may be treated as enc
mics. He reiterates the necessity for prompt
and rigorous action, or the United States must
submit to the usurpation Of their Territory
tied determination not to acknowledge the a1-
thority of the United States, or any other out
side of their Church.
A supply of subsistence must be forwarded
early in the spring, which should reach the army
by the 1st of June. Should long time elapse
without hearing from him, Col. Johnston says
it must be attributed only to the difficulty of
sending expresses across the mountains during
the winter months.
The officers and men composing the expedi-
ton were in fine health, and were animated with
an ardent desire to discharge their duties faith
fully.
In postscript Col. Johnston says the army
made one days march since the 9Th, and on the
18th were awaiting the arrival of the trains which
were delayed the day before by storm. "Our
trains" he adds, occupy, in as close order as
they can travel the road, from thirteen to four
teen miles, and therefore the rear cannot move
till late in the day" ~.....

The REVOLUTION IN MEx1co-The revolu-
ton in the city of Mexico took place on the 18th
instant. The movement was sudden, bold
and daring one-and crowned with most COM
plete success. 1t was planned by Comonfort,
and then entrusted to General Base, who carri-
ed it triumphantly into execution without an
active resistance on the part of the people. In
deed the latter evinced their joy in various ways,
and, unhesitatingly hailed Comonfort as their
supreme ruler.
