ST. LOUIS, Jan. %.
The Kansas correspondent of the Democrat says
that the Territorial Legislature has decided not
to give way for the Topeka Government, but to
proceed to the enactment OF an entire code OF
laws, to superce6e oil laws passed prior to the
special session.

THE AREA OF UTAH.-It may be u matter OF
some interest to our readers to know something of
the com paritive extent Of the Territory Of the
United States, whose chief officer is bidding de-
hance to our Government. According to Cotton,
the area of Utah is 269, 10 square miles. II
engineers, and a few others, this will give a just
idea of its vast extent, but the majority of the
people will form o better estimate by being told
that it is as large as the whole Of the New Eng.
land States, New York, New, Jersey, Pennsyl
yania, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and
Tennessee. Or, to compare it with European
countries, it is equal in extent to Great Britain
and Ireland, Switzerland, Prussia and Denmark,
with the Islands Of Guernsey, Jersey, and Man,
and the lonian Islands added.
An INTERESTING Book AND AN AGED AUTHOR.

King George the III. lie is said to be the only
native BostOnian who has q clear remembrance
OF the Declaration Of Independence-which hap

years oid-unless there be an exception made 10
the case of an old colored woman, who was
born III George the Thirds time. There is no
other American of any eminence whose recollec-
tons go back to the summer Of '76. 1t is strange
to find a man yet i~cho:ing in the political field,
who was a member OF Congress in Jetferson's
time, and who ran q tilt with he gallant Harry
Of the West on the floors of Congress forty years
ago. Yet this old hero's eye is undimmed and
his natural force undated. His heart is a true
to liberty and as ardently hates slavishness and
poltroonery in politics to-day as it did in the
balmy days Of his earlier renown. lie battleI

A PRESERVED RELrGIoN.--The Illinois Baptist
soys that there is denomination in that State
generally known as the "Whiskey Baptists;"
At one of their churches. some time ago, a man
who had led an immoral, d~issipated life applied
for membership, stating tina: his conversion &c.
CURED some fifty years previous. Whereupon a
~neighbur of his remarked, "Ah, Il warrant his
religion to be good, for, to my knowledge. he has

PITT STREET CHAPEL.--Last year a novel course
of sermons was preached at this place, by clergy
men of different denomina tons, from the text
"What shall | 60 to be saved" The crowds
who listened to these sermons have not ceased to
bear testimony to their good results.
This year an equally novel course is to be
preached. Sects are by some regar led as oppos-
ing parties in religion, and clergymen as party
leaders. Narrowness and bigotry, or great lnxity
of religious principle are often ascribed as the
cause of the existence Of these sects, aud the zeal
of their minister. The fact that necessity il
laid upon" men to preach the Gospel of Christ
and none other, is not often needed.
Therefore q gentleman from each of six diff
ferent denominations has been invited by the Pitt
Street Chapel Association to answer this question ::
Why from love to God and man am | q Methodist,
a Baptist, or whatever the preachers denomina.
tional term may be? The following named cler-
gymen have accepted the invitation, viz Rev.
Messrs. Clark, Methodist Thayer, Universalist !;
Sykes, Baptist; Rev. Drs. Adams, Trinitarian
Congregationalist; Randall, Episcopalian and
Gannett, Unitarian.
The series will be closed by q sermon from Rev.
IT. S. King, The sermons, although preached
from the same pulpit on consecutive Sunday
evenings, are entirely independent. Perfect
freedom is also given to each preacher, to answer
the question by arguments drawn from peculiari-
ty of doctrine, or church government, or any
other considerations The first sermon of this
series was held on Sunday evening last, in Pitt
street Chapel, by Rev. Mr.. Clark, at O'Clock.
