they take up Psul's course Of reasoning with Fe-
.lix; Ist OF Righteousness, Of Temperance, and
Of Judgment to come. They are endeasoring to
walk as upright and circumspsctly as they can
we'll do, taking the word Of God as their coun-
sellor; yet they may be denominated by some as
landmark men, from the fact that they are quite
tenacious for the original landmark or location.
With respect to the temperance Of this Church,
It is partly owing to the indefatigable and assdu-
ous labors Of their former Pastor, WADE HILL,
who laboursd faithfully for several years to effect
sreform in point Of distilling, vending and COM
mon dram drinking, which being effected, and
the reform progressive before there was any move
made in the bounds by the Sons, we claim the
priority for the Church, as such, that it is her
original location. We claim no more tlan her
location, as there is large field yet running To-
waste and ruin, and the Sons are welcome to oe-
cupy as much thereof as possible. We would be
glad to have oo-opperation with us in our cause,
and can, therefore, say to them as Moses did to
Hobal, s'Come thou and go with us and we will
do thee good, for the Lord has spoken good CON.
cerning Israel" But If you will not 60 with
US in Church capacity, we have the consolation
of knowing that any and every moral reform is
so much advance made in q good and glorious
cause. So go forth and prosper. :" ~' -.
And John answering said, "Master, we saw
one casting out devils in thy name and we forbade
him, because he followeth not with u.s." "And
Jesus said unto him, forbid him not for he that
is not against US, is for us. Luke 9: 1880.
In admitting that we may be by some termed
"old landmark men," and claimingfor the Church
at Antioch the prior location, we hare some allu-
sion to the time when this country was first set
tied by the white inhabitants. The lands we're
almost free-subject to be entered by any one,
provided he did not claim more than 800 acres,
and would mark it out so that the next one would
know the boundary. But there being no registry
Of entries nor commissioners of location then es-
tablished. it required law granting a pre-emp-
ton right, as such each original locarion-or 's1e
entry" as they were called-Hasa good and valid
title for q given time after the land offices
were opened. With regard to Church polity, this
Church claims that her originallocation was made
and well marked out upwards Of eighteen hundred
years ago, and that too, with an old Jerusalem
blade, (the sword Of the spirit,) which is the
Word of Truth; and that the marks are yet visible
and so plain that even wsyfaring man = \ need
not err therein. -,

SADDLES AND HARNESS.

The attention of the reader is directed to the
advertisement of our neighbor, Mr.. j. c. PAYNE,
in another column. He has recently made large
additions to his material, and has fine stock of
saddles and harness now on hand. We were
shown by Mr.. P, a few days since, pair of the
finest and most serviceable saddles we have ever
examined. They were manufactured to order at
thirty-dollars each, and they are certainly we'll
worth the money.

lining some interesting Revolutionary relics,

times that tried mems souls" One is an
old Spanish coin, given to the father of MIR.
Lawson by Gen. Washington, during the
Revolution, and which has been in his pos
session since that time, till recently it was
turned over to the safe keeping of his son,
H.W. L., he having already outlived the
time allotted to man, being now four score
and IA years of age. The coin very dis
tinctly bears the date of1741, making it llS
years old. The other, perhaps, would be
considered the more interesting, from the
fact that it is q relic from the old Fort near
this place-a pine knot, out of which has
been most ingeniously carved the head of
an Indian Chief. Mr.. Lawson took the knot
with his own hands from log of the Fort,
