CTRcuMcIsIoS.-We had the pleasure
a few days since, by invitation, to be present
at the celebration Of the ancient Jewish rite of
circumcision, at the house Of our friend and
fellow townsman, Mr.. Moses Korn whose lady
had recently presented him with male heir
to bis estate. The officiating gentleman was
the Rev. F. Newstadt of Sacramento and the
services, consisting Of fading and chanting,
were all in Hebrew. The marked attention
paid by those present evinced the high re =
gard which this peculiar people feel for their
ancient ceremonies and religion. The cere-
monies concluded with feast, at which a
large number OF ladies and gentlemen sat
down, and during which the health OF the
happy pair was most heartily drank in flow
ing bumpers af sparkling Heidseck."
The rite Of Circumcision is one of the
Oldest religious ceremonies known. 1t W as
ordained Of God as the sign and seal Of his
Covenant which Abraham, made 1000 years
before Christ. With the exception of short
time when the jews. forgot Cod" during
their wanderings in the wilderness, they
have never omitted to practice this rite,
down to the present day. Most of the nation,
Of antiquity. the Phoenicians, the Egyptians
the Ethiopians and many other nations
whose religion was more or less derived from
the ancient Hebrew faith, also prscticed
Circumcision. Herodotus, the father of bis
tory, frequently re fers to 1t. It has evel
been practiced by all true musselmen, al
though it is not strictly epjoned in thu
Koran. The Jews above all others are mos
strict and scrupulous in its observance, a,
they hold 1t to be the seal OF the covenan
under which they yet hope to be once again
restored to the land of their fathers.

FRANKLIN PIERCE ON HARPER'S
FERRY.

Ex-Presdent Franklin Pierce has addressed a
long and decidedly patriotic letter to the Executive
Committee of a Union meeting which has been
held in Faneuil Hall, Boston. lie appeals to the
people for sympathy with the South. He denounces
the Harpers Ferry riot; and finds not shadow
of excuse for those who sympathised with Browns
fate With vehement truth he says:
at is not the recent invasion of Virginia which
should awaken the strongest apprehension, but the
teachings, still vehemently persisted n from which
it sprung, with the inevitable necessity which it
evolves the effect from the Subtle, crafty
men, who, passing by duties and obligations
habituay appeal to sectional prejudice and passions
by denouncing the institutions and people OF the
South and thus infame the northern mind to the
pitch of resistance to the clear provisions OF the
fundamental aw-who, under plausible pretexts
addressed to those prejudiccs and passions, pass
local laws designed to evade constitutional oblga-
tions are really and truly, whether they believe it
or not, the men who are hurrying US upon swift

(Waace) severe blow on his arm and neck,
Wallace Tending off the blow. The negro then
closed in on Wallace and cut his clothes in several
places his knife being too dull to infict serious
wound Mr. Wallace tried to shoot him, but, the
negro seized the muzzle Of the gum and held it off
so that, if discharged, it would not strike him
Wallace fred one barrel and missed. He then got
his knife from his pocket, opened it with his teeth
and struck the negro a severe blow in his side,
which caused him to loose his hold, but still holding
on to the muzzle of the gun. Wallace pulled the
gun back until it got in range with the negro's
body, and fired, putting the whole contents into
him. The negro fell and rolled over into the river
His body has not yet been recovered. Signs Of
the struggle seen afterwards by seveal persons
such as the tramping down Of the canes, and foot

letter of concurrence in the objects of the meet
ing read from Ex-President Pierce. The
resolutions patriotic and worthy the eminent
source from which they flow. We copy the fol-
lowing, which bears upon the immediate subject
of irritation to the South:
Resolved, That we look with indignation and
adherence upon the recent invasion Of the Com
monwealth of Virginia; that however narrow or
however comprehensive was the clandestine and
iniquitous scheme in its instruments of execution,
it was an undisguised assault upon the peace and
welfare the whole country; that We deeply SYM
pathise with the people of Virginia in the trying
scenes through which they have been called to
pass; and proffer them and their civil authorities,
and those of the Federal Government, our unfail-
| ing countenance and support in the maintenance
| of the laws of the land and public peace.
