THE REV. MIR. STURGEON ON THE
STYLE OF THE "NEW sCHOuL,PREACH
Frs

1t is time that the advocates Of the Ian
guage Of Shakespear, Milton, and Cowper,
Temple, Swift and Bolingbroke, Gibbon,
Robertson and Hume, should rise, speak,
and put an end to the nuisance. We are
much gratified to find that great master of
genuine English, Mr.. Spurgeon, lifting up
his strong hand against the harpy invasion.
On his first appearance in Exter Hall, ai-
ter bis return from the continent, in the
course of an admirable sermon, he visited it
and its authors with the following thunder
BLAST
"There is much temper here, but there
is very much also of good common sense.
/ would we had another Job, to chastise
the Understanding language Of modern
theologia..s. There are starting up in our
midst men who, if they are not hcretics in
doctrine, are aliens in speech. They are
described by the old preachers, who say,
MARK and there is nothing to mark, and
who shout, Observed and there is nothing
to observe, except the want Of everything
that is worth observing.
We know ministers who cannot speak in
the common language of mankind, but
must needs adopt thejargon Of Carlyle,who
sets language on its head, and puts the last
word first. These men must need make
the English language slave to the Ger
mantle glorious, grand old Saxon must
trtIckle to their heresies and conceal the
depths Of their falsehoods. | pray God
the time may come when some man may
|unmask them, when all these wind bags
may be rent, and all these bladdcrs may be
picked; when, if teachers have anything to
lell us, they may deliver themselves so
that all may understand. If they cannot
use plain language, let their tongues 60 to
school until they have learned it. There
is something so enticing and yet SO finsy
in the modern theological school that |
feel constrained to warn you constantly
against it. It's mystery is absurdity, and
its depth is pompous ignorance. There is
no theology in it. 1t is futile device to
conceal the want of theological knowledge.
A man, with an education that may be-
complete in every department except that
in which he should excel, stands up and
would teach Christians that all they have
learned at the feet Of Paul has been mis-
take; that new theology has been dis
covered; that the old phrases which we
have used are out Of date, the old creeds
broken up Well, what shall we do to this
wiseacre and his fellow sages? Serve them
wherever you meet them or their disciples.
as Job did Zophar laugh at them, hash
their language to pieces, and remind them
that the best things they tell US are only
what the fishes of the sea or the fowls Of
the air knew before them, and that their
grandest discoveries are but platitudes which
every child has known before, or else they
are hercsies that ought to be secuted from

LONG host TREAsuRE.


An interesting experiment is in progress
for recovering treasure from the thirty-six
gun frigate Lutine, which soundeped off
Terschelling, on the Dutch coast, sixty-one
years ago. The Lutine had been captured
by the British from the French, and had
been selected to convey an amount Of specie,
supposed, according to some statements.
to be nearly $lo,o00,0oo, partly for the
pay of British and Russian troops, and
partly for the assistance of Hamburg mer-
chants. During the past thirty or forty
years, various attempts have been made to
recover the treasure, and about $250,000
had, ateonsiderablee expense, been obtained;
but the wreck ultimately sanded up, and
her position was not re-discoyered until
some fishermen accidentally found a por-
ton cntangled in floating ice. Within the
last few weeks the parties interested, neon
junction with the committee Of Loyd's, on
behalf Of the representatives Of the under
writer, who sustained loss, have resolved to
employ Heinke's diving apparatus, and the
result is that an examination has been eff
fected, which shows that the wreck is at.
present unusually free from sand, although
still buried 70 q great extent, aud that hopes
are held out ofthe possibility Of consider
able portion of the treasure being recover
cd this season. 1t is stated, however, that
prompt operations viii be necessary, as,
from the influence Of peculiar winds, the
sand may at any time again accumulate.

SERIOUS AFERAY.


j. b. Don, Esq, one Of the editors Of
the Dubuque Herald, an ardent Douglas
tie, relates in that paper Of the 9th inst,
how he was on the day previous, set upon
BY two brothers, A. ]. Quigley and D. 0.
Qmgley, knocked down and beaten in a
most disagreeabe mmuer, and would have
been killed by means Of revolver, in the
haads Of one Of the Qmgleys, had not
friend interfered and prevented the same.
The Young Quigleys are sons Of Patlck
buckley, a leading Breckenridge man of
Dubuque and a Democratic wheeLhorse.
The quarrel originated about some political
document Of the Douglasitcs which Dorr
accused one Of the Q's of getting hold Of,
and after Writing offensive words on thea,
ofsending them through the Post Office to
German Republicans. Mr.. Dorr concludes
his statement as follows:
"Dastardly as the conduct Of the two
Quigleys has been-base and cowardlv as
this attack Of two men upon me when to-
tally unsuspecting anattack, donot blame
them more than those whose countenance
has instigated them to their deadly purpose.
If any such have more accounts to settle
they have by this attack given me warning
of their Intentions One thing they can
learn, that is, that no effort Of this character
will suppress the truth or induce any CLOS
sing over OF guilt"

OBEY YOUR WIFE.

Three jovial fellows-Tom Watson. Joe
Brown, and Bill Walker-sat at the village
tavern, and in the nerriment of their hearts
made an arrangement that the ''shot" shod
be paid by him who omitted to do the first
thing his wife told him on returning home.
They then separated for the night, engag
ing to meet again next morning and make
an honest report. Next morning Walker
and Brown were early at their posts, but it
was some time before Watson made his APP
pearance. Walker began first
"You see, when | entered my house the
candle was out, and as the fire gave but a
glimmer Of light, | was near walking into a
pot Of batter that the crumpets were to be
made Of this morning. My wife, dreadful
y out Of humor at sitting up 50 long, said
to me sarcasticIy:
ado put your foot in the batter!'
"Just as you say, Maggie, said I, and
without the least hesitation, | set my foot in
the batter, and then went to bed."
Next Joe Brown told bis story.
"My wife had already retired to rest in
our sleeping room, which adjoins the kitch-
en-, and the door Of which was ajar. Not
being able to navigate perfectly well, |
made dreadful Gathering among the house
hold furniture, and in no very pleasant. tone,
she bawled out
"sDo break the porlidge pot, joel
"No sooner said than done. | seized
hold Of the pot. and striking against the
chimney iamb broke it in hundred pieces.
After this exploit retired to rest, and got
a curtain lecture for my pains"
It was Tom Watson's turn to give an ac-
count Of himself which he did with very
long face, as follows:
MY wife gave me the most unlucky
command in the world, for as was blum
dering up stairs in the dark, she cricl OUT
".Do break your neck; do Tom"
"I'll be cursed if do, Kate, said |, as !
gathered myself up, I'll sooner pay the bill
and SO, land lord, here is the cash for you
This is the last time that | will risk a soy
ereign on the command Of my wife"

PATENT OFFICE REPoRTs.--N carly half
million Of dollars is annually expended
by the Patent Office Department in the
publication Of "Report on Agriculture"
which is sent through the Mails under the
frank of members of Congress, at an am
nual cost of two or three hundred thousand
dollars more. Perhaps not one in ten of
these Reports falls into the hands of those
for whom they are designed, or who are
disposed to make any use OF them whatever,
and thus nearly all the money expended BY
the Department for the purpose is literally
thrown away. If the people, from whom
this large amount Of money is annually ta-
ken, could have the privilege Of expanding
it themselves for the agricultural reading
ana instruction which they require, or
coldd the amount be directly appropriated
among the several States for the support
Of Agricultural Schools, or the endowment
az departments of agriculture in our Col
ieges, how widely different would he the
result. Horace Greeley has recently writ
ton very forcible protest against this Pat
ont Office Report business, at least SO far
as its Agricultural publishing is concerned.
He says there are fiftyor sixty agricultural
Journals in issue over the country, which
have been built up by individual entcrpTiy,
and which are more efficient educators Of
farmers THAI the Patent Report. He does
not see the justice Of Government using the
revenues Of commerce. and the public mails,
In running an opposition to private laoor'
which does the work better andechcaper-
Thoughtful people generally will concur N

PARsON BROwNLOw,s LAST CINs.

Brownlow's Knoxville (Tennessee) Whiq
a Bell paper, is hard nut. The editor.
Brownlow, is methodist preacher and
draws deeply on the bible for language
and thoughts to kill the democratic dragon.
Here are his last guns:
"The days Of the Democratic party are
well nigh numbered. The vile organiza-
ton has kept together by the worship Of
the Eternal Negro, and the Negro has
now fastened itself upon the back Of De-
mocracy, and sticks lik- tiiat Body Of Death
named in the scriptures. On to death and
hell, the Negro now urges its victims
Our advice to them is, to act the part Of
Christian philosophers, and prepare for the
last solemn moments. Let them tune their
voices to sing these appropriate lines;
clark from the tomb d,lcfal sound: &c.
Again he says:
Keep 10 before he people. That the
leaders Of Democracy have invariably tried
TO brand with Abolitionism, every cand
date opposed to their nominee for the Pres
idency, whether from the South or the
North; as in the case of Harrison, Clay,
Taylor, Fillmore, Scott, Bell and Lincoln
Here is the way la dealt with certain
Col. Jake Miller in Knoxville:
Col Miller, known as the "Beech Creek
Jerker," by some, by others as "Hog- Back
Jake" and by others as President Of the
Rogersville Bark, made Lis appearance IN
our town last week, and the Breckenridge
Yancey party, Of which he is noisy and
6lusteri4g member, put up posters round
town, to the effect that he would speak that
might at Kings Corner A fine crowd was
in attendance, and this old navigator Of the
sea of politics, took the stand about three
sheets in the wind;" and for the rise Of an
hour, he rayed and pitched like ram at a
gate post. He cIenched his fists, he grit
ted his teeth, he squealed, he stared, and
foamed at the mouth, and pitched into Bell
and Douglas in a most scattering mannerl
Becoming exhausted, and finding himself
both out of words and ideas, he would rest
a spell, then reinforce, and finally he come
down upon his own party, and held up to
their gaze, picture Of heart-sickening ag-
ony, In the background Of which he point
ed US all to the ghost ofhope deferred.

New PHASE OF ITALIAN Abrams
The Journal of Commerce discourses up-
on affairs in Italy as follows, aud believes
that startling news will reach us soon from
Europe:
sofGcarcely any future event can we utter
"a prediction with less doubt than Of an al
most immediate war betweenSardinia, back
ed by all Italy, and the Emperor Of Aus
tria. This now seems to be inevitable
There can be no doubt that Sardinia Is
making the most extraordinary preparations
for the approaching struggle. France and
England will not consent to Austria's in
terfering with Italy at the present time. be-
cause she has not the right, according to
the treaty of ViIlafranca, to do so. But
they cannot prevent her from invading Sar
DINA, in case the latter chooses to 90 to-
war with her. This it is now pretty clear
she is determined 10 do. In that case, the
contest will be between Italy (united, it is
hoped, and the Empire Of Austria. 1t is
not likely that France and England will al

vor of Austria, if either should be disposed
TO do so.

Of war, especially inevitable war,
when it is certain to assume large dimen-
sions-as that Of which we are speaking,
would be likely to do. There is bare
possibility that two causes may be sufficient
Ito prevent this impending struggle, One
is the persuasion Of France and England;
the other is the fear that Austria may have

movement in the land of the Magyars would

Charleston RECORD.

The latest news thet we had received from
Charleston up to the time we went to press with
our last ssue was that the Seeding delegates had
Organized but done no business, prefering to await
the issue Of the conventon and that the latter body
was occupied in ballotins for candidate for Presi-
dent and that up to the 57th ballet no nomination
was made Douglas was far ahead Of any other
candidate having received as high so votes, yet
lacked about so Of the number necessary TO nomi-
nation.
Shortly AFTER we went to press intelligence was
received that the convention had amidst great con-
fusion adjourned TO meet again at Baltimore on The
18th of June, pror. The Seceders thereupon held
meeting and they too, adjourned to meet in Balti-
more, on the llth Of June, one week before the
ether
The adjournment Of the regular convention 20
Baltimore lie said to have come Of a'motion from the
New York delegates, under orders from the Douglas
interest at Washington they believing that with
prestige Of the display they made of their strength
at Charleston and being freed as they will be, at
Baltimore, from the great outside pressure that met
them at Charleston they can easily secure their
chiefs nomination.
Such is n brief record of the movements OF the
delectable gathering of "the harmonious" known
as the Charleston convention since last reports
