of them are the owners of their homes,

Troy, N Y, Oct "a, 1859.
Mr.. EDlToR:-To the rapidly increasing
number of your readers it may not be al
together uninteresting to know, to some
extent, what is doing here in this unique,
beautiful city-beautiful, though now clad
with the many-colored robes of autumn.
I left our young prince of city Brook
lynn on Saturday, the 14th, though not
fully recovered from recent attack of i'll
ness, to visit the Liberty street Presby-
terrain Church This church is composed
of colored persons, and was organized some
years ago. 1t has been ministered to by
our very excellent brethren Payne, Gar
net, Hunt, Freeman, Lynch, and Gibbs,
but is now without stated ministration

large Sabbath-school attached, taught by
warm sympathizers of humanity and Christ

churches. have addressed them for two
Sabbaths, with increasing manifestations
of interest. There is evidently very
earnest desire to hear the truth, and to re-
gain, if possible, their former religious
prosperity and promise, especially when
they were under the pastorate of our able,
efficient, and eloquent brother, Garnet To
aid them in accomplishing this, they have
an efficient outside agency in the persons
ofvalued friends who have kindly, nobly,
profered them aid-aid that comes through
the best test of right-minded Christian
sympathy-money. And yet not only
money, but their cause is not forgotten be-

SAN Francisco, Oct. 5, 1859.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Since my last letter to
you nothing very extraordinary has trans
pired here. During the latter part of Sep
TENDER the weather was unusually warm
for the season, the thermometer standing
above eighty degrees, while our summer
weather averages ten or twelve degrees
less, with invariable clustering winds that
commence nearly every forenoon at about
eleven o'clock, and many of the afternoons
ending with heavy fogs, which makes this
climate in that season feel comparatively
colder than the summer season in the lati-
tude of New York and other States border
ing on the Atlantic. The winds and fogs
abate as the fall advances or the rainy sea-
son approaches. We have dry season,
with but few exceptions, from May till
December.
The fare from here to New York is very
low at present. Thirty-seven dollars and
fifty cents for steerage-frst and second cab
in in reasonable proportion. Vanderbilt's
steamer, Cortes, has been officially an
nounced by the Postmaster to carry the
mails, and the johnson contract is con-
sidered here null and void. The steam
ship Herman lies in the stream where she
anchored upon her first arrival, having new
er been alongside the docks, as well as the
Washington.
A number of our people, through con-
tributions, have erected tombstones at the
head and foot of the grave that contains
the remains of the lamented w. H. New
by, in Lone Mountain Cemetery, with ap-
propriate inscriptions, at cost of about
one hundred dollars. st. Cyprian Church,
in the basement of which our public school
is held for children, is advertised for sale

vacated a long time by its former congre-
cation, AFRICAN Methodist EpiscopaD who

tisement as the African Church, it has long
since been lost by our people by misman-
agement, and designated african Church"
by white persons in derision, from the fact
that some colored persons obtained the use
of it by some means from those who held

TWO PREMONITIONS.

The following strange and remarkable
presentiment with regard to the frightful
disaster in Albion, N. Y, will be read with
interest and sadness:
"It will be remembered that among the
lost were two young ladies residing in
Carlton, named Sarah Thomas and Au-
gusta Martin. The former was eighteen
years of age, and the latter nineteen Both
were girls of intelligence and culture. A
day or two before the occurrence by which
she lost her life, Miss Thomas is said to
have dreamed that she was in Albion, and
saw Maine-street Bridge full of people.
Suddenly it gave way under the weight,
and fell into the canal. Starting she
awoke, and the ensuing day related her
vision to members of the family 1t was
passed by without special comment, so far
as we know, and nothing more was said of
it till the morning of the day on which Miss
Thomaswas drowned, when she rode in a
carriage over the bridge. Her dream was
recalled to her mind, and she mentioned it
a second time. Evidently she did not deem
it a warning, or she would not have ven
tured upon the structure in the afternoon
In this instance it seems unfortunate that
she was not tinctured with some share of
superstition, for it would probably have
saved her life
Miss Martins case is not SO strong as
Miss Thomas, though shadow of death
seems to have passed over her soul previ-
Gus to the tragedy. Two or three days
before going to Albion, she was engaged in
household duties, when she came across
some articles belonging to her which were
not in her proper place, and turning to her
mother remarked that she must Immediate
ly set about putting her things in order, as
she did not think she should live long, and
all of them ought to be arranged before she
died. AS Miss Martin was then in good
health, doubtless the remark was not dwelt
upon at the time; but who can wonder
that the bereaved and agonized mother
should recur to it after the sad event that
made her childless2 Mrs. Martin narrow
ly escaped sharing her daughters fate.
Both went into the water together, and
rose TO the surface face. The strangling.
terrified girl had only breath to cry, "O6,
mother /! what will become Of us ?" ere she
sank to rise no more. We are informed
that the horrors of the scene and the loss
she sustained had the effect, temporarily,
to deprive Mrs. Martin of her reason. She

THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD AT
ATRANY

To the Editor of the Weekly AnglO-African:
In Frederick Douglass paper l see an
article credited to your paper, containing
some criticisms on the manner of conduct
ing the Underground Railroad. Among
other things it is said that "At Albany the
stones cry out" &c. l know not whether
this is reflection on Stephen Myers, who
conducts the road here, or not. only ask
the privilege of saying that I am fully &C
quainted with his operations, that l see
him daily, and examine his books, papers,
passengers, &C., frequently. Other re-
sponsible persons do the same. The num-
Der of fugitives under his care is very
large, his expenses for railroad fare, ($2 on
each, for board and clothing and other
necessaries, have increased so much that
with the limited number of contributors to
his treasury he is obliged to labor very
hard to keep the train moving. 1t is the
wonder of all his friends how he raises
money enough to meet his actual expenses
to say nothing of remunerating him
for the industrious and sacrificing la,
bors of himself and family. 1t cannot
be that he does more

Truly we have an up hill road in endeav-

PRAY FOR OLD JOHN BROWN.

Mr.. EDIToR:-History is always faithful
to the memory of the martyr He may be
ahead of his age. He may be regarded as
imprudent, unfortunate, or conscientiously
wrong; and there may be circumstances
connected with his case, which at the time
of his martyrdom cannot be explained, Ell
ther by himself or his friends, in season to
save his life. But truthful history will be
sure to vindicate his memory
There seems to be little doubt that j ohm
Brown will be tried, convicted, and execu-
ted by the Virginia authorities.
Gov. Wise says he is the "gamest man"
he ever saw, and assured him he should
have fair and impartial trial
So much then for slave-holding Cover
nor for the benefit of the old man
John Brown and his fellow prisoners
now at the bar on trial for their lives, are
subjects of prayer. Shall there not he
prayers offered in all our churches for
them2 Shall any of our ministers be lack
ing in moral courage to bring this case
squarely and openly before the people2 l
hope not. 1t is certainly no murder nor
treason to pray for men in distress, for the
prisoners in their cells, or at the bar
assume not to dictate to others, but
l brought this subject before my people
last Sabbath, and intend on the coming
Sabbath to make it subject of prayer,
that God in his wise and holy providence
will sustain the prisoners, and defend the
right.
In what have written, Mr.. Editor, do
not wish to commit you or your readers to
my views. l speak upon my own respon-
sibility, as man and minister
Pray for old John Brown of Osawata-
mic |! that he may be delivered or die like
a man, and that his blood may be sancti-
fed to the cause of freedom.

hope is that they may soon have that truth

They have very excellent public

Professor Hamilton, of Brooklyn, is here

and will regale the citizens of this place
with his melodies. They are promised an
encouraging reception. Why, he must
have increased in his youth since he came
to this vigorous and..attractive city, for be-
sides making us capital speech the other
night claiming especially the attention of
the ladies-they express establishment at
his youthful appearance, and at his having
reached to the grade of aprofessor in that
abstruse yet sweet and attractive art, and
that, though so young, he should have been
so unwise as to get wife before he came
to this place. So, you see, he has made
his mark but, however that may be, i
trust he may do it more so tonight, as a
gentleman of commendable musical talent
and taste, as well as those who may be
thus associated with him.

DEEDS OF KINDNESS,

Suppose the little cowSlP

And say, I'm such tiny flower

How mony weary traveller
Would miss its fragrant SMELL
How many little child would grleve
To lose it from the dell
Suppose the glistening dew-drop
Upon the grass should say,
What can little dew-drop do
I'd better roll away
The blade on which it rested,
Before the day was done,
Without a drop to moisten it,
Would wither in the sun.
Suppose the little breezes,
Upon a summers day,
Should think themselves too small to coo
The traveller on his way
Whowould not miss the smallest
And softest ones that blow,
And think they make great mistake
If they were talking so?
How many deeds of Kindness
A little child may do,
Although it has SO little strength,
And little wisdom too!
It wants a loving spirit
Much more than strength, to prove
How many things a child may do
For others, by its love.
