~, Tue AMERICAN BAPTIST MISSIONARY UNroN.
The annual session of this body, at Phila-
delpiia, terminated on Friday evening BY a
happy settlement of existing difficulties, in
the adoption Of resolution asking the
Missionaries who had withdrawn from the
service OF the Union to return and receive a
welcome. The subject of revision of the
constitution was referred to committee, of
which Hon. ). IL. Duncan of Harverhll,
Mass, is Chairman. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year : President
Hon. George N. Briggs, Of Massachusetts,;
Vice President-Rev. B. L. Welch, d. d.
Of Massachusetts; ID Vice President-Mr. b.
Anderson, of Rochester, N, Y.
The action taken which it is hoped will
settle the difficulties under which the Union
has labored, was the passage of resolution
to appropriate money to the Missions in
gross sums, and let the Missions themselves
Do the dlsbursers, rendering report of the
expenditures to the Executive Committee

who has resided on the Pacific coast. the

ut the conclusion that precisely the same
state of things which exist or that coast ex-
ist on the Atlantic coast; and have not a
doubt that, for the purpose of raising corps
OF seamen there, the application Of this law
is as wise for the Pacific coost as for the
coast of the Atlantic. Nor have a doubt

fully, they will find it a. necessary there "a
itSis here, as wise there US it is here, and wise

l regret, Mr.. President, that l have de-

people whom represent, without which
probably should not have trespassed at all
on the patience or the attention of the SEN
ate. There are great MANY collateral
points to which would gladly alludc. but
| leave this question here in the hone
that no narrow view will be taken of it by
the Senate, that they will examine it in n
comprehensive, and in an enlightened man
ner. If they come to the conclusion that it
is not wise, it is not best, to nurture a class
OF scamen for naval purposes in time of war.
l have only to submit. hope this will re-
suit as all similar efforts have resulted, for
they have often been made and always failed;
but still if they shall come to that conclu-
sl9n, then [ DISK, do not strike them down ut

matter Of mere equality, do not PROSTATE

Mr. Richard Rankin, of Rockand had
been riding in chaise, Thursday 9th inst,
and on returning home, fastened his horse,
while he took some article from the chaise.
A team happening to pass at that time,
frightened his horse, and Mr. Rankin sprang
ever, broke away, and dragged Mr.. Rankin
some distance. One of the shafts struck him
in the side, ripping his vest entirely in
pieces, and injuring him severely. The
chaise was pretty thoroughly wrecked.-
