GREELEY IN KANzAs. The following
amusing incident is related by correspond

An admirable travelling companion is

gave few common sense directions about

FROM THE GOLD DIGGISGs.-A letter
from one of our Plymouth correspondents
of last Tuesday, says that Mr.. Hankerson
got 500 worth of gold in four days last
week. One day it raned and they did not
work and the other was spent in making a
dam. The claim worked by Sawyer &
Eddy on Reading Pond brook yields toler-
ably well. One day last week they took
Sl1,Q0 in six hours, and they are making
SO per day TO hand on an average. In
giving our accounts from the gold digeings
in Plymouth, we have been careful to con-
fine our statements to facts. The best
account yet in print about these diggings
was published in the TINES of June 10Th
from our correspondent "a. /. B." His
statements are reliable and We notice have
been extensively copied by our exchanges.

THE FROZEN WELL AT BRANDON

The FROZEN WELL AT BRANDON
This well continues to attract the attention
of the curious and the scientific. Ice in
considerable quantities is still in it, at the
depth of some forty feet below the surface
of the earth A friend informs us that it
was visited last week by DR.. c. T. jackson
and Ii. !. Blake, Esq, of Boston, they
having been sent at the instance of liber-
al minded gentleman of that city, who has
appropriated the sum of three hundred dol
lars for an investigation of the matter. A
young man descended the well and procured
several pices of the ice, which is attached
TO the sides Of the well. On letting down
Il thermometer, it indicated one degree
above the freezing point, at the surface of
the water. 1t is proposed to sink another
shaft at short distance from this well, in
order to investigate the matter more
thoroughly. Rutland Herald

greatly improved, containing sixteen pages
instead of eight, the present size, which

journal of its class that has ever succeeded
in this country, and maintains character
for authority in all matters Of mechanics,

by any other Journal published in this coun-
try or in Europe. Although the publishers

WOMAN WHIPPING.-In this enlighten-

We beg pardon-the Courier must have

servant girl in our family, who visited

run in streams from her body. In telling

The Savannah News desires to know if Con-
gress can not pass law prohibiting the emi
grafton of fanatics and insane persons to this
country? 1t says If it has the power to pro-
hibit the introduction of Africans from Africa,
who are needed, and whose presence here
would give no trouble, but would be beneficial
to themselves and the country, it can see no
reason why they should not prevent the insane
Mormons of Europe from converting Utah into
social and political hell. If the federal gov
ernment can exert its power to prevent hea-
thens from coming here to be christianized,
why can it not also prevent civilized people
from coming here to be heathenized? Nor
monism is in opposition to all laws, human
and divine. Slavery is in accordance with
both. Mormonism is curse to the country
and to its deluded victims, while slavery is a
blessing to the African, 70 the white race, and
to the state. ...

Theological Science.

"THB IMPORTANCE OF POSITIVE AND
Distinct THEOLOGY" is the title of dis
course recently delivered by Rev. Henry
BELLOWS, d. d., in this city, and pub
lished by request, by ROBERT CLARKE &
Co. 1t is not probable that the author Of
this Discourse will ever arrive at the pos
session of that of whose Importance he is
80 well convinced The foundation of q
CHRISTIAN THEoLoGY it is obvious, must
be laid in full, perfect and unequivocal
fixation of the character Of Christ, and of
The function which he performs in the
christian economy. Without this, there
can be, in the christian sense, not only
no positive and distinct theology" but
no theology whatever mo beginning of
any theology. DR.. BELLOWS processes to
be christian. The religion which he
breaches is the christian religion Within
the field of this religion he laments, and
justly, the want of scientific theology
Who but to him are we to look to have
that want supplied2 He attempts to sup
ply it, He recognizes the fact that the
first thing is to fix Christ and his office in
their proper place in the system-to to tell
us what Christ was, and what he came to
perform He tries to do so '. .1
"Shall we not show the world that
CHRIST is NOT GoD IN ANY HONEST SENSE
OF THAT WORD that lie himself never
claimed to be God, and was never declared
to be very God by his disciples-and that
scientifically, spiritually and morally, it is
impossible that he should be God but
that he is nevertheless, COP MANIFEST ~
THE FLESH that is, Gods truth, charac-
ter and viii, made known in the life,
teachings and temper of one specially set
forth to be the Savior of the world.
Christ is "not God in any honest sense
of the word" and yet he is "God manifest
in the flesh" Here is nice point-if it
is point too nice to sustain positive
and distinct theology 1t carries us back
some fifteen hundred years, to the Coun-
Gil of Nice, the squabbles between Arius
and Armineus the old disputes about
sameness and similarity, person and es.
sence, the HoMooIsIN and the HoMooUsIN-
to the discussions between Asiatic dream
ers and African enthusiasts, upon words,
and definitions which were no sooner
stated than they became points for a new
argument upon their meaning and lead
us to doubt-the first great question, what
is Christ still remaining unsettled -
whether during the long period that has
interviewed, theological science has made
any progress whatsoever.

The QUESTION of delegates to the
Charleston Convention is already agita-
ting-though without many exterior man,
ifestations = the Democracy of Ohio.
Shall the State Convention of Thursday
next appoint the delegates2 OF course,
reason and ancient party usage requires
that the body making such appointments
should be elected with that end in view
but what are reason and usage, compared
with will of men who find themselves
clothed with the power which the leader
ship of the majority confers2 1t is by no
means impossible that whichever faction
of the party finds itself in power will
make the attempt to appoint delegates OF
its own stripe to the Charleston body.
The idea is of DOUGLAS origin; but if it
is good one, what should prevent the
anti-DoUGLAs section from adopting it ?
If this matter should as it may-come
up at Columbus, II lively time may be ex.
pected H
