AMERICAN CHESS IN WiIk

AMERICAN CHESS IN Wilkes,
Spirit of the Times says:
We learn, from the late London papers. that
Mr.. Louis Paulsen, who was the greatest of
Morphy's American competitors in the game
OF chess, has recently come out as the first vic
tor at the recent tournament of the British
Chess Association. The contest of the PLAYERS
had narrowed itself down to Mr. Boden. of
London, and Mr.. Paulsan; and the former gem
tleman had preferred to stake the laurels of
the occasion upon the deciding game instead of
the usual three. The game was opened by Mr..
Boden, with Ruy Lopez attack, whereupon
Mr. Paulsen adopted what the English reporters
call a novel style Of defense, which not only
bewildered his antagonist, but puzzled all the
lookers-on. In dozen moves the advantage
was entirely on the side of the American
player, and preserving il throughout, he was
declared, at the end of the game the first
prize victor of the tournament
After this event, a match was made by the
London Chess Club between Mr.. Paulsen and
Mr.. Kolisch. They will contend for the first
nine games, and the time for the moves is stip-
Hlsted to be twenty for each two hours and a
half. The match will doubtless prove of i'm.
mense interest, as Mr.. Kolisoh Is the PLAYER
who recently challenged Mr.. Morphy for the
sum OF FL 900 a side. Mr.. Paulsen, though a
German by birth, arrived at manhood in this
country, and the whole Of his chess history
and training was developed in the brilliant
school Of the United States.

How TO CLEAR THE PoToMAc "A Washington
correspondent writes to the New York Post a
follows:
There are several ways in which the Potomac
can be cleared Of batteries. Those at Shipping
Point are commanded by high BLUM on the
Maryland shore, and II necessary this will be
mounted with long cannon, and the rebel
guns silencsd. The landing Of strong force al
Aqua Creek would doubtless clear the river
Some time last Summer there was great excite.
ment about the threatened closing Of the river
ana 6eneral scous advice was sought in the
matter He replied that he could not employ the
army In clearing every little point down the Pc.
tomac; that II he undertook such Job he would
succeed In nothing else; but that when the army
moved down upon Manassas the Potomac would
be speedily abandoned by the rebels This proved
TO be true. When our troops commenced the
movement upon Manassas the rebel troops on
the river below left 1t except one Point, Aquis
Creek.

Taking the stump.

The State Journal notices the arrival at the
Penitentiary of convict with but one leg
and one arm, sentenced in Muskingum
County for asssulting two men with intent
to commit murder.
A man with but half his supply of limbs,
would be more likely than whole man to
assault two men. A sound mind is requisite
to a sound body. Hence body minus two
limbs can not have a well-balanced mind.
But how can man with but half his limbs
be person, in the eyes of the law? The
law says " if any person shall" &c. If halt
man is person, what does the personality
consist of?
A law to punish women would not hold q
man for the same offense. This shows that
the law recognizes variations in person.
Then certainly it must take cognizance ofsc
great variations as legs and arms. An in.
dictment for stealing horse will not hold
if the horse be defective in the essential
quality Of a horse. Then how can the Law
to punish s. person, hold half a person? Shall
there be nicer distinctions in horses than il
men? These are important questions for tn,
lawyers.

The Fulton-street Prayer.meetiug

This meeting was begun in New York
during the financial troubles of 1851, and
has been kept up ever since, without omit
ting a single weekday. Now it has become
one of the most powerful engines of saliva
ton. The efficacy of the Fulton-street pray
ers has given it a worldwide reputation.
In list published in the Evangelist, of some
of the requests for prayers presented at a
single meeting, we observe requests from
almost every quarter of the world; from the
interior of our own country +; from Ameri-
cans abroad-some at sea; and one from
India.
| Some of these told of wonderful instances
of direct answer to prayer, which had been
requested of the Fulton-street Prayer-meet-
ing. Some are as well authenticated in
stances of the miraculous interposition OF
| Providence in answer to the Fulton street
prayers, as any miracle can be. Consequently
the fame ofthis meeting is spreading. Even
persons in places highly favored with
religious institutions and zeal, send their
requests to the Fulton street meeting, on
account of its greater power. The accounts
published in the New York papers of the
requests sent to their meeting for its inter.
cession with God, and of the direct answers
granted to its prayers, carry us back to the
time when the devout made pilgrimages tt
noted holy places and holy men, to secure
the approved efficacy of their mediation
with Heaven, and when the saints, while OF
earth, were celebrated for their influence
with God. 1t seems as if the time wa
returning when direct and palpable commu
nications between Heaven and Earth woul
be reopered, and that prayer. meetings ar
the institutions which God has chosen t
dispense his favors on earth.
The Fulton. street meeting has been aide
very much by the newspaper reports, whicl
have kept it before the public. This show
that even the newspapers may be the mean
of Influencing Divine favor.
Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1861-04-04

The Tennessee Baptist leading paper Of
that denomination in the South, declares it
absurd and false to admit that there are or
can be a plurality Of Evangelical denomina-
tions.
What he means is that the Baptist is the
true church, and there can be no other. We
see not how any denomination can refuse to
abide by the same test, Nor, if baptism be
essential-of which we presume there is no
doubt--do we see how there can be more
than one true form.
As the Scriptures say; "They that are
able to receive it, let them receive it," They
that are not able to abide this test, admit a
want of faith in their position.
The editor of Baptist paper in Georgia
advises the Baptists to withhold funds from
the Board in Richmond, because it is in a
FOREIGN land

MERCANTILE SwINDLEs IN THE NORTH-Nb-
merous Victims Of Fraud. - The Boston
Journal says:
We are informed by a gentleman from
Northern New Hampshire that cloth swind-
leIs have been committing extensive depre-
dations in that section, at Holderness, and
on towns above there, on the line of the
Montreal Railroad. The dodge is the same
as that so extensively practiced in Maine and
elsewhere, and the well, to-do farmers and
inexperienced tradesmen were the principal
victims. The operators would call on those
whom they propose to Victimize, exhibit
their cloths with the most convincing repre-.
sentations as to their quality, expatiate on
bankrupt sales, and the remarkable facilities
possessed by them for obtaining goods at
greatly. reduced rates, pretend to be con-
nectedFwith the best metropolitan houses,
and finally suggest that they take some of
the cloth and sell it on commission. of course
requiring notes as security for the goods,
and afterward generally requesting a small
amount down, which would be indorsed on
the notes. The spectators would then pull
up stakes, sell the notes and vanish, and the
cloth would prove to be worth but small
per cent. on the face of the notes. Our in
iormant conversed with an eXpressman who
had betw cen one and two thousand dollars
worth of these notes, which had been given
him to collect. They were generally for
amounts varying from $50 to 500, and
most of them had from So to $l5 each in
do:sed on them as paid.
