from the Newark Mercury, juno 1s)
Yesterday was the utmost limit fixed By The
Second Adyentikts Of this city for tue contfnu-
uuce Of nil earthly things. At the meeting Of
morning, one OF the speakers said that it had
been announced in the newspapers that if this
day did not witness the end Of the world, thev
would give up their belief and cease to bold
their meetings. This WIS IN error. They in-
tended nothing Of the kind. If the world did
not come 10 IN end now, aud be doubted some
what that it would, it would come :" some time"
and the meetings would be continued to the ead,
that they night alt b. prepared when the long
expected event should take place. He counsel
led his hearers to be in way cast down, but to
hold up their heads aud look the world square
in the eyes. He firmly beloved that according
to the Scriptures, "time was up" He bad moi

wns high time for tho consumna1ion OF all
things in general and everything in particular
The speaker said that probably The next steamer
from Europe wou1d bring some intelligence ia
vorable to their views, aud eulighteu them upon
some points which we're heretofore very dubi-
Gus. Whether Of not be meant that the world
had caught ERE on the other side Of the water,
aud that the 9Amea were spreading over the face
Of the earth like the measles through commu-
nifty, this deponent did not learn.
The speaker compared the present position Of
those who were "roo1ed and grounds" in the
peculiar belief Of the Second Adventis.s', 70 the
condition OF the children Of Israel, on coming,
in their iourneyings, to the Red Sea. There ap-

TIE NEW GOLD EXCITEMENT.

We publish elsewhere seFef2i auulliuIsl I'LL"
concurrent statements confirming the reported
valuable discoveries Of gold Oh the Nasqucz
Fork Of the South Platte, aud among the
mountains Of Tho Pixies Peak country. There
arc many reasons for putting faith in these re-
ports which have not existed in respect OF any
former statements which have come from
that recinn. All the published accounts
hitherto haye contained either vague sur
m;ses Of enormous wealth based upon the
color Of the sand in Cherry Creek, OF dosmatic
dcuia.s Of the existence Of gold based upon
the Improbable results Of journey only hali
way to the mines, or upon the paucty Of
houses and scarcity Of bacon at Denver City:
Tic tremendous stampede which came Of one
month since is how asccrtaad to have had
no moro reasonable cause than the short sup
ply Of provisions taken out By the e1n]-
grants, coupled with their sudden
disappointment in not finding the most precious
If metals hcaped up Like gravel along the
banks Of the South Platte. Indeed, it is not
probable that more than one fifth Of all who
started for the Pixies Peak region this spring
ever went within two hundred miles Of it.
They were met iu mid career By the returning
Lille Of famished aud panib-stricAen gold-seek-
ers, and bearing chaotic tale Of mlserics and

break for the Missouri. 1t WAS like the re-
treat Of defeated army with the difference
that no one had any conception Of what he
was running away for.
| The evidence NOW seems to be based upon
tue actual exhibit Of gold in considerable quan
titles, obtained By the usual means in reasona
hle places. The public may fairly dc
lnnnd that this gold be shipped to the moncta
r centers Of the country and have its value
tested in the settlement Of balances at bank
before giving any credence to these new sto
ries. If $4,000 has been taken out Of 1h'
