WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 8, 1859.
Mr. EDIToR:- Since my last we have
had two very sudden deaths. One was
that of Mrs Wade, who resided in 18th
Street, near X; and the other that of Miss
Frances Jackson, who had been sick for
only few days The former left a devot-
ed husband and an interesting daughter to
mourn her departure. Miss Jackson was
for many years an active memberof Union
Bethel Church, but had recently united
with the Catholics.
On the 28th ult. an inquest was held in
a house near Twenty-fourth street, on the
body of a young colored man, named Alloy
sius Bronaugh, who died from the effects of
poison given him by another colored boy
named Alfred Jones in Georgetown, some
DAYS since. From the evidence of third
boy, colored and quite intelligent, it ap-
peared that the deceased was invited to
take something to drink, by Jones, from a
bottle which he produced. Bronaugh ac-
cepted, and drank of it, and soon after COM

This volume, besides its many moving and
thrilling Details affords evidence Of most remark
able man. Mr.. Douglass has emphatically made
himself. As writer and speaker he has but few
equals In the country Christian ADVOCATE
1t presents clear and graphic picture of his
slave-fe from his earliest recolectons his escape
and his life since, including his experiences in this
country and Europe. No will deny Mr.. Dou-
glass the possession of genus and character of
high order. He writes in nervous, clear, and
most telling manner, clothing his narrative with
intense interest and conveying his moral impress
sions with a vividness that leaves the reader
scarcely any escape. The subject is deeply tragic,
and, in his mastery handling, possesses an en-
crossing interest.-N Y Evangelist
We have before listened to the homely tale of
the liberated slave, but it did not impress us as
does this narrative of Douglass, for the reason
that we were left to supply the commentary which
is here pressed upon us by one who has both seen
and felt what he relates. The story bears through
out the impress of truth and the manner in which
it is told stamps the writer as a man of genius and
high order of talent-Ohio State Journal
This is splendid work The personal worth of
the author, the deserved popularity he has secured
throughout this nation, and the universal desire
that prevails to have memento of one of natures
noblemen, will conspire to create unprecedent-
ed demand for this book Wesleyan.
The book is written with the happiest descrip-
tive power, with nerve and vigor Of expression,
and with richness of style. 1t has an ample re-
source in phrase, great perspcuity. and musical,
resonatng, and halfrhythmic style, which reminds
the reader of the authors origin and of the native

OUR BALTIMORE LETTER.
BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 8, 1859.


Mr.. EDroR:-Our city is growing more
lively daily. Our friends who have been
spending the summer in the rural districts
Or at the watering places, for pleasure Oh
otherwise, are returning home. Our con-
gregations are larger, and the frequent
smiles of recognition which greet the pass
er along our streets, reminds one of old
friends 'home again"

of the order, led off in the grand demon.

presented to Brother Hennesey Nickles,
Most Worthy Deputy Grand Chief, a croa0m.
Mrs. Anna Young presented it, in words
BETTING the occasion, and the recipient re-
sponded in chaste and glowing style. The
remainder of the evening was spent in pro-
menading, eating, etc.
The effects of the numerous camp-meet-
ings held during the past summer in this
region are being seen. Many of our
churches are enjoying glorious revivals.
The Union Bethel, under the pastorate of
Rev. VIM H. Waters; Waters Chapel,
under the pastorate Of Rev. Henry NJ. Tur-
ner; and the Ebenezer Church, under the
passionate of Rev. S. l.. Hammond, are en-
joying the presence of the Lord in spe-
cial manner. Many impenitent sinners are
seeking the pardon Of their sins. Many of
the white congregations of this city are en-
gagged in like good work.
Last Tuesday, by previous appointment,
was observed as day of fasting and pray
er by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, with good effect. They held meetings
all day, commencing at 8 A. NJ, and con-
hnuing till 9 P. M. The clergymen of
the various denominations conducted the
service. The effect was good. No one
could avoid the impression SO graphically
pointed to by that prince of prophets, Isa-
iah, when pointing to that happy state of
the church for which the ardent Christian
longs, when "the watchmen shall lift I'D
the voice; with the voice together shall
they sing, for they shall see eye to eye,
when the Lord shall bring again Zion"
The Young Mems Christian Association
accomplishes more good than the mere cas-.
ual observer is willing to admit They
are young, vigorous, ardent, and hopeful
and therefore they are, by their energy, IN
hsing life into the religious actions of eve
ry community, and stirring the inner mar
