BIBLE VIEW OF SLAVERY
By THE RT. REV. JOHN HENRY HOPKINS
EPISCOPAL BISHOP OF VERMONT.

The following view of slavery from the
Biblical point, is from Bishop Hopkins
elaborate letter to George NJ. Wharton
Esq, and others, Of Philadelphia, dated
May ,, 1861
The word "slavc" occurs but twice in
our English Bible, but the term "servant,'
commonly employed by our trarslators
has the mcanin, of slave in the Hebrew
and the Greek originals, as n general rule,
where it stands alone. We read, cwovcr,
in many places, Of "hired servants" and
Of "bondmen and bondmaids." The first
were not slaves, but the others were; the
distinction teing precisely the same which
exists in our own day. Slavery, there
fore, may be defined as SorUltude for life,
dissenting 10 Tie c0Srt"g. And this
kind Of bondage appears to have existed
as an established institution in all the ages
of our world, by the universal evidence
of history, whether sacred or proiane.
This understood, shall not oppose the
prevalent idea that slavery is an evil i'll
itself. A phys'ca evil it may be, but this
does not satisfy the judgment of its more
jealous adversaries, since they contend
that it is a moral cviI-a positive sin to
hold human being in bondage, under
any circumstances whatever, unless as n
punishment inflicted on crimes, for tht
safely of the community,
Here, therefore, lies the true aspect OF
the controversy. And it is evident that il
can only be settled By the Bible. Fol
every Christian is bound to assent to thu
rule OF the inspired Apostle, that "sin is
the transgression of the law namely, th'
law laid down in the Scriptures by th'
authority Of God-lhc supreme "Lawgiver
who is able TO save and to Destroy From
his Word there can be no appeal. M
rebellion can be so atrocous in lis sigh
as that which dares to rise against his gov
erument. No basphemy can be more un
pardonable than that which imputes sin OIL
moral evil to the DEGREES Of the eterna
Judge, who is alone perfect in wisdom, il
knowledge, and in love.
With entire correctness, therefore, your
letter refers the question to the only infal
lible criterion-the Word of God. If i
were matter to be determined by m.
personal sympathies, tastes, or feelings,
should be as ready as any man to condemn
the institution of slavery, for all my pre-
JUDGES of education, habit, and social po
sltion stand entirely opposed to it. Bu
as christian, am solmn!y warned not t
be "wise in my own conceit," and not
clean to my own understanding As

HUMAN NATURE.-Som wise man sagely
remarked, "therc is good deal of hu-
man nature In man." 1t crops out oc-
casionally in boys. Ono Of the urchirs
in the schoolship Massachusetts, who was
quite sick, was visited by kind LADY,
The little fellow was suffering acutely ,and
his visitor asked him ifshe could do anything
for him. "Yes' replied patient, "read TO
me-" "Will you have story ~ asked
the lady. "No" answered the boy, "read
from the Bible read about Lazarus !"
and the lady complied The next day the
visit was repeated, and again the boy
asked the lady to read. "Shall read
from the Bible" she inquired. "Oh nos"
was the reply, 'Pm better to-day read

~N'S'
The battle was fearfully raging around,
The legons of treason outnumbered the brave
When the order heard through ranks resound
Onward now, to the charge! our honor to save.
Then valor was proved, with bayonet set,
Each rushed on the foe determined TO win;
While the missiles of death every moment were met,
As the foe was cndcavoring our forces to thin.
An see there falls Wadsworth, the noble and brave
" left without he surely must die
Say, may not stop lov'd comrade TO save
We'd carry him back where in peace he might lie.
His voire in its rcrvor was quick to implorc.
That onward they'd press and vanquish the foe
Go forward brave comrades, ever give DER,
Till the base heart Of treason receives its death blow
And onward they charge and leave him alone,
Save others like him, who wounded or slain
But strong,n his spirit he ut red no moan,
Nor ever was heard of his fate to complain
lie thought then Of home Of the cherished there
br father whose kindncss and truth he had proved
and Of his loved mothcr-n shade of despair
Fitted over his mind as he called up the lov'd
lie knew that his sisters must long for him mourn,
Those sisters that he had 81 often cafcssed;
lie asked that his body might to th m be- horne,
10 sleep with his kindred, and there calmly rest.
lie thought of the prayers he wa' Taught to repeat,
Addressed to our Father" by loved ones at home;
Iic rr,yed that all IN heaven might meet,
Where parting and dsath should nevermore come.
And Of his ov'd country the land of the free
Whose freedom to save had cost him his life;
lie asked that the friends he had left might soon see
The Angel of peace bring an end TO all strife.
And soon his Rrdccmcr gave tokens of love,
A love that is fortta trof endless delight
OF infinite bliss in the mansions above,
Where peace is eternal and sin nG'cr bl ilht,
His counenancc bcnming with calm, holy joy,
And me ckly submissive I, Heavens decree,
The prospect of death more could annoy
lie patiently waited his Saviour to sec.
His flag was triumphant, he heard with delight
The pgans of victory borne on the air
Now let me depart to the mansions of light;
q Gsd, I'm content. Thou hast answered my prayer"
We weep for the fallen. miss him on earth
And mourn for the good and noble and brave
Affection must ever remember his worth,
And tears still bcdcw and homer his grave,
But not without hope, for faith gildes the tomb,
We find our support in the volume Of Truth
Again hen appear in an immortal bloom,
All radiant with glory and uniading youth

EVENING PAPERS.


NEW YORK, Oct. 9.
The steamer Fulton, from Charleston Bar,
on the afternoon Of the Sd, arrived this morn
ing.
The rebel steamer Diamond was captured
by the gunboat Stettin, while trying to run
the blockade of Savannah, and sent to Port
Royal. She had a valuable cargo of saltpetre
and liquors from Nassau.
A Morris Island letter of the 30th ult., to
the Tribune states that our army is actively at
work, but the navy is passive. A semi-crcle
of batteries have been erected on Morris Is
land and will soon be opened ON the rebels.
Satisfactory experiments have been made
with Greek fire shells, and they will soon be
introduced to the renewed attention of the
rebels.
On Monday, the 18th ult., the rebels began
building battery upon the ruins OF Fort
Sumter. Their purpose has been frustrated
by Gen. Gilmore, who has turned his guns on
the rubbish heap, keeping up just enough fire
to make them desist. Attacks upon Folly and
Morris Islands are nightly expected, but the
rebels appear cautious.
Not far from Fort Moultrie a very large
magazine has been erected in front OF an old
house. The house has the hospital flag flying
and the traitors have had the neanness to re-
quest Admiral Dahlgren to respect the hospit-
al SO placed.

From Chattanooga.

New YORK, Oct. 9.
Chattanooga letters state that on the 18th
ult. there was reconnaissance made from our
entire line. Considerable skirmishing occur
red, in which we lost five or six in Turchin's
brigade.
The same afternoon our ferry boat, lying
near the foot OF Lookout Mountain, was cap
tured by the rebels. Our artillery opened on
them and they were compelled to abandon it,
and left their arms in the boat.
About ten o'clock the same evening we
were aroused by the laundering of cannon
and the whizzing of musket balls. An hour
of brisk firing was followed by very quiet
night, which was we'll used by our tired
troops.
Forests cavalry, or detachment of it, APP
peared at our advance at Lookout Mountain,
on Wednesday, and demanded the surrender
OF regiment here. 1t was understood that
the modest reply was, THAT they would see
them in hell first"
He had all his pains for nothing, for the
regiment was withdrawn with our signal sta
ton on Lookout mountain.

Mr.. Editor:-Having noticed Card in the
Advertiser few days since, rejecting some
what upon Mr.. GRAHAM, an ''attachee" of the
Preble House, as permanent guest of said
House, consider it due him and the Propre-
tor of the Hotel, TO state, that in all of my in
tercourse with Mr.. Graffam he has borne HIM
self in the most gentlemanly, quiet and ac-
commodating manner. In making this state
ment l venture the assertion that l represent
all the guests of said House. l refer particu-
larly to those who are really guests there, not
wishing to include those who occasionally
call.
Mr.. Adams is too well-known to the Public
to bear the imputation of employing anyone
that would not be agreeable, in the fullest
sense, to tho many who patronize him.
Long live Mr.. Graffam as gentlemanly at
tendant upon the permanent boarders and
travelling public who patronize the Preble
house. A GUEST.

ADAy AZ THE REFORM scuoor.-Yeste

A DAY AT THE REFORM SCHooL.-Yester-
day, we visited the Reform School, on invita-
ton from the Governor and Council, who
made their annual inspection of the premises
and examined the pupils in their various
branches of education and manufactures The
school, under the unexcelled care of Mr..
Scamlnon, is in a decidedly proficient condi-
ton. One hundred and seventy-five boys are
now under discipline Their labor is divided
into shoe making, chair-seating, washing,
sewing, knitting and farming. The inlelli-
gent faces of the industrious lads plainly indi-
Gated that circumstances beyond their control,
brought them to the institution. The parents
of many of the boys are dead and some are in
State prison. Portland is largely represented
in the school, Bangor, Bath, Biddeford, and
larger cities furnish the balance of the quota.
Some counties are not represented
Bricks aud tiles of superior quality are
largely manufactured and command the high
est market prices. Seventy-five tons of hay
were cut on the farm, this summer, and vege-
tables of all sorts raised in sufficient quanti-
ties. The low, wet lands are being thorough
ly drained. whereby the crops must be largely
augmented
An excellent dinner was eagerly discussed,
His Excellency doing the honors of the table;
after which, the boys were called into the
school-room and examined in reading, spell
ing, arithmetic, &c. They sing with vgor
and fine effect, and were complimented for
their good behavior and proficiency by the
Governor, Secretary of State and Counsellors
Rich, Bell, Holden and Perry, in short speech-
es.
At about five O'Clock, the party returned to
the city, highly gratifed with the days labor
and entertainment.
