CIVIC SHEET ANCBORSn

There are but few authors more prOhta-
bic to read than good old John Newton.
He had tAe g'fs oi.6sst rate e0@@0a ssnss
"a very uncommon endowment. The grace
Of God to which he felt himself SO ample a
debtor, wrought in his heart depth of re-
ligious experience reached by few. To this
may be added the remark, that bis style of
writing is really among the Oest of our best
authors. In day when glare and tinsel,
with the most approved fashion Of tearing
a passion to tatters. are so rayenous)y
sought after by some of our preachers, and
a multitude of the people, the study Of bis
works might confer a special benefit.
But leaving this aside, we desire to in
troduce n passage which presents beaui-
full picture of his Christian faith, and the
peace of mind in which he was waiting "iill
his change should come" 1t was written in
his seventeen year; his life was extended
beyond eighty.
81 am at present, through mercy, in per-
feet health, bat it becomes me to live with
the Lord By Ike day, and to carry my life in
nv haud, leaving tomorrow with the Lord.
At all times we are little aware what the
next day may bring forth, but at my ad-
vaueed age every thing is more and more
precarious from day to day. | am in con-
tinual expectation of being called away, or
laid aside l may perhaps still live some
years, and the Lord is so gracious to me in
all my concerns, that none can have less
reason to be weary Of living, excepting for
the body of indwelIiug sin. My part is only
TO wait, and to pray that l may at last be
found ready. The h2,o ,ohsn, and ,rhere be-
LONG to him. have been enabled to COM
NIT my soul to him who says him that COM
eth | will in no Cise cast out, and who is
able to save to the Wtermos,.' These two
texts have been as two sheet anchors, by
which my soul has rode ont many storm,
when otherwise hope would have failed. In
no rise takes in all characters, and To he
uuermost,' goes many league beyond all
difficulties. l recommend these anchors;
they are sure and steadfast."
1t is lovely sight to behold old age thus
comforted. When near his end he said,
thereafter hope, when l shut my eyes on
the things Of time, shall open them in a
better world. What thing it is to live I'M
der the shadow of the wings of the Al
mighty"
When one replied, "The Lord is gra-
ciOus," he answered, IF it were not so, how
could l stand before himl"

Errors Corrected--.ln the n ,rrative of
the State of Religion in the Synod Of Ylr-
ginia, published last week, there are some
errors which, b. special request, are no"
corrected. For "the sweetest offices Of
religion" read sgeeter,' sc. For "most
of churches, read most of our churches"
Instead of ga season Ct crisis and proba-
tons" read probation, "Unerring con-
yicton," should be unwavering,' &c
= false professions, should be false pro
fsssors. For "preciYus ontgu'ting," read
outgushjngs. For "nnd the 6eld," read
land in the field" Terrible as an eter-
nal army with banners" omit eternal ;"

the manuscripts, and the quotation was other

Hoge, D. d., J. B, Ramsay, D. D., and G.
c. Read, whose term Of Office, as Directors,
had expired, were re-appointed.
The number of deaths of ordained Min
listers, members of Synod, during tho last
year, was unusually great-no less than
SIREN and the Synod felt called to notice
the death Of the Rov, James II. Thornwell,
D. D., Of tue Synod of South Carolina, per-
haps the most eminent minister in our con-
nection, in the Confederate States. In view
of these mournful bereayements of the
church of Christ, the Moderator called on
the Rev. n, D. Hoge, D. D., to lead the
Synod in prayer.
A Minute, expresije of tho views and
feelings Of the Synod in regard to each Of
the deceased Brethren was made. These
will be furnished to the Editor of the Cen

fad space from time to time for their inser-

which he handles change is spreading the
Humboldt contagion. Lest these events should
induce some to leave profitable business to
become adventures. they should remember the
injunction, that Many shall be called and

the success of our friends, and are disposed to
regard Humboldt as decidedly preferable to
Salmon or Cariboo. 1t is believed that much
suffering will be experienced by the adventu-

COMMITTEE Sufficient numbers
to form quorum of the Union Democratic
County Committee assembled at the Court
House, Saturday. The object of the meeting
was merely to interchange views. We are
safe in saying that committee will never unite
with Republicanism in any shape. The ma
jority, if not all of those present, look upon the
secfionalism of Republicanism as being mimi
cal to the Union and dangerous to the Consti-
tuition Stockton Argus.

Impeachment of Hardy.

Contrary TO our expectation, the Senate has
impeached Judge Hardy. Article 18th chsrg-
ed Hardy with disloyal and seiitious language.
The vote stood "A to l2-exactly twothirds.
A resolution was then adopted By vote of u
to 4, declaratory of the Judgment of the Sen.
ate, and removing Judge Hardy from Office
The Senate has thus proved itself more hon
orable, conscientious and loyal body Of men.
than We had been led to believe it. They de-
serve the thanks of every sober, decent and
honest citizen There is hope for California
Let rs give thanks
The Judgment, while it removes him from
Office, does not disfrancbiss him. The Marys.
vile Appeal thinks there is a probability Of
Hardy's being arrested by the military Com
mandant. We regard the judgment Of ths
Senate as quite sufficient in his case, and as an
effective and judicious admonition for the fu-
ture Of others.

Both Sectional Parties are Responsible

Some of the California press, in discussing
the defeat Of tbe Crittenden compromise, do
not, IS it appears to rs, take proper view of
the case. Mr.. Latham. in speech delivered
some time since. clearly showed that what the
traitors most feared last year was compromise,
and their great effort was TO get out of Con-
gress before compromise could be made
Hence. they remained silent in their SEATS ou
the 10th of January, '6l. when Clark's amend
ment was substituted for the Crittenden COM
promise, By only two votes, and withdrew with
in The subsequent five days. This refusal on
the part OF the rebel Senators, to put forth
their hands in defense Of the Crittenden COM
premise may have engeDdered determination
on the part Of the Republicans TO crowd the
the adoption of the amendment is evident, be-
cause they did not vote against it, and took
their leave of the Senate Immediately thereaf-
Ter. Evidence that appears satisfactory to US
that the Crittenden resolutions might have
been passed, had the Southern Senators work
ed honestly and zealouSly for it, appears in the
subsequent proceeding of Congress. Clark 5
amendment was reeonsdered and rejected by
votes, and an amendment to the Constitution
was passed, providing that no amendments
should be made TO the Constitution that would
give any power to legislate on the subject of
slavery in the States. These two acts were
passed when the Republicans had entire con-
troll, and they are evidence to US that the
Southern Senators might have obtained COM
promise had they earnestly and honestly des-
red it. The rebel Senators believed they
could sustain themselves in the destruction of
the Union. They were met in the same spirit
by the Republicans, who wantonly and wick
edly proclaimed that little blood letting 3"
would be beneficial TO the country. The Re
publican and Breckenridge parties are, there
FORE both to blame, for the defeat of the Crit
tenden compromise, and will be held responsible
for the disasters that have followed. The
Democratic party alone, were right upon this
issue, they are right yet, and will remain so.-
That's the way We put it up. Does anybody
want to see the documents?

Justly CLAIMED-The Marysville Appeal

pleasure in conceding all that is justly claimed
by political opponents, we cheerfully admit
that here is an instance where the Republicans

Some two or three years since, choice
Jack was stolen from the Nome Lacke Reser-
vatiOn, which our readers will remember was
duly commented upon, and even formed the
subject OF one or two political speeches made
from the stump in this place. Well, that
stray Jack has lately been found in the
possession of Samuel Miller, who resides on
the Stanlslaus river, and who purchased him
for Sl,050. He has been taken to San Fran
cisco, and delivered over to Uncle Sans
