to the rice ard progress of the Union
held daily at p. in the lectureroom of the Stuy-
vesant Institute, No. $50 Broadway, nnder the auspices
of youpg men. You will please remember that this
meeting was formerly conducted by Thomas Lloyd,
who opened it several weeks ago for the purpose of
helping on the Revival but it was considered weak
spot therefore company Of young men, knowing
what their duty was Christians, heard of this meet
ing, and have used every exetion to make it comfort
able since they have bad the control Of It. under
stand that they continue TO have good audiences,
though it is late period in the day for such pur.
pose; but they desire TO have young men, particularly
cut OF the ark Of safety, and thoe who are seakiog
the Lord and everybody in fact to come in and pray
or e1hort before they 60 home to tea They have
bad rev eral eminent persons 70 preside and continue
to have the li.t we'll supplied. understand that Jno
McClintock ID. d., Chauncey Schafier Matthew Hale
Smith ard others have volunteered to help young
men along with this prayer meeting, Their rules

a decision has been pI0rounced at Pittsburgh,
which shows that not Only the common law OF En-

among us. The cafe ia curious enough to be re-
ported in condemned form. One George Hamilton
di-d at Pittsburgh in December last, leaving wife
ard three children, aged nlnc eleven and thirteen
years. Now, Hamilton was Protestant and his
widow Romapist To prevent his children being
educated Romanists, he appointed guardians ijr
them by will, and directed them to be brought up
ia the Protestant faith. Accordingly the children
were taken from the IN, ther and placed at Prot

ever that the power 10 constitute guardian by

State. This statute eDacts that any father may, by
deed or vi !. dispose Of the custody OF hs child,

You may hold up your hands in astonlshment at
Mr.. English's treachery TO Kansas, but there are
parties here who knew all the time that he was hot
to be trust d, and that his vote against Lecompton
vas sham. We know his antecedents, and are
the refore not much .urprised as others seem to
be- Twill write you more fully hereafter on this
matter, if such creature be worth writing about.
But English does Rot stand alOae In bis treason.
Others are affiliated With him. They all have itching
palms, and each one his price. They are better
known here than they suspect. But the country at
large now knows English well enough to crush BIN
out. Iecent men al Washington should spurn the
merceDary impostOr from heir presence. He should
be banisbed from all civilized society, and the back
of every honest man be turned upon him. 1t Is not
true that they can conquer Kansas by this unheard-
of swndle. Your correspondent writes from Wash
inpton that Buchanan applied to Gov. Wise for
advice and encouragement in his great STRAIT and
he wrltes truly. But Wise gave him no encourage
ment, though he did tell him to be honest and just
MIR. Wse holds himself aloof from Buchanan feeling
bimself to be abore hm, and knowing that buchanan
will gain something by being countenanced by Wise,
but be could gain nothing by being countenanced by
Buchanan. The end of this matter will show that

PROPOSALS

tTSEFUT. NESS OF THE
VIUDICAT0 OR. :

TIE Fourteenth volume of the "FTlNDI-
CAT0R.s commenced on the 1st of ..Janua-
ry, 1858. This paper through the kind pa
tronage Of the people Of this County and
State, has acquired and retained an extern
slve circulation, SO as to have become one
OF the best mediums for advertising, in the
Valley. Heretofore it has been chiefly de-
voted to politics, advocating, to the best Of
its ability, the noble cause Of the Demoora-
cy, aud vindicating the equal rights of the
People.
Without abating at all their devotion to
Republican Liberty, and still continuing un-
changed the political complexion of the
paper, the present Editors hare determined
to enlarge its usefulness and the area Of it's
circulation, by appropriating. in future, q
considerable portion Of its columns to the
subjects Of Internal Improvement, and to
the development Of the. mighty resources
of Virginia her exhaustlcss minerals, her
commercial and manufacturing capacities,
her agricultural wealth.
The marvel is, that no other paper has
hitherto proposed to become the organ for
the promotion Of these important interests.
and We hatter ourselves, that the attention
they are now attracting from all classes il
Virginia, and the central position of the
sFINDICATOR,' assuring, as it will, its
impartial advocacy Of them all, in whatever
locality Situated } Will make it a welcome
and favored pioneer to other and more eth
cent advocates Of these great interests,
who may hereafter appear upon the stage
We viii make it our duty to procure able
and reliable correspondents. Indeed, sevo-
raj gentlmeen, throughout the State and
elsewhere, have already promised us their
hearty cooperation and aid.
The paper will continue to be published.
