Prayer.

Prayer ia a powerful weapon, boundless
treasure, inexhaustible wealth, a placid and
Wave ees heaven, the source OF uDrufled calm,
and the root, the fountain, the mother of ten
thoutan blessngs. Prayer is more potent
than regal power. Oft when the Wearer of
the diadem 10 in the grasp OF the fever, and
lies PROSTATE on hia couch, scorched In every
vein, with physicians, aud guards, and servants,
aud generals around his bed; and neither the
skill OF his physicians, nor the presence of his
friends, nor the assiduity Of his attendants, nor
the abundance OF remedies, nor the maguifi.
cence of palstial pomp, nor the greatness OF his
riches, nor any human resources, has power to
charm the malady which presses sore upon
him-ahould one who has access to God enter
and only touch the body, and over ii offer with
holy lips and prayer, he puts tho malady to
fight. And that which no wealth was able to
effect, no multitude Of servants, no skill of the
most experienced physician, no pomp of royal
ty, has been Ole achieved by the prayer Of
one poor and even indigent man.
speak not of that prayer which ia feeble
and fullof langour, but OF shat which is made
with earnestness, whose birth 10 accompanied
with apirit.throes, and which ia produced by
the intense concentrated exercise of the facul-
ties OF the mind. Thisis the prayer that wings
its way to heaven.
AS water, while flowing over level plain
and spreading unconfned on every side, springs
not upwards, but when forced to descend into O
channel, and compressed into narrow space
Il bounds aloft with the speed of an arrow--so
Ia it with the human mind. When it enjoys
unbroken tranquility 1t flows smoothly on and
dissipates its energies; but when, through the
force of circumstances, it is depressed and i'm

this salutary pressure makes it pour forth II
high, pure, and impsssioned prayers-Ertrae
from the Peroration Of 81. Chrysostons's Fiji

EPpNe, N. H., Dec. 90, 1928.
During the long and >eventful session of Con.
gress of 1903 and 1904, was member of the
Senate, and was at the city of Washington every
day OF that session. In the course Of the ses-
sion, at different times and places, several of
the Federalists, Senators and Representatives,
from the New England States, informed me
that they thought it necessary TO establish
separate government In New England, and, if
IL should be found practicable, to extend it 30
far south as to include Pennsylvania; but in all
events 10 establish one In New England. They
complained shat the slaveholding States had
acquired, by means of their slaves, q greater
Increase OF Representatives In the House than
was just and equal; that too great portion Of
the public revenue was raised Ia the Northern
States, and too much OF it expended in the
Southern and Weetern States; and that the ac.
QUESTION of Louisiana and the new States tnat
were formed, and those to be formed in the West
and in tho ceded territory, would soon annihi-
late the weight and influence OF the Northern
States in the Government.
Their intention, they eaid, wac to establish
their new government under the authority and
protection OF STATE governmental That, hav-
ing secured the election of Governor and
majority of Legislature in State in favor
Of . separation, tho Legislature should repeal
the law authorizing the people to elect Repre-
sentatives to, Congress, and the Legislature de-
cline electing Senators to Congress, and grad
ually withdraw the State from the Union, es.
tabllsh custom house officers to grant registers
and cleasances TO vessels, and eventually es-
tablish Federal government in the Northern
and Eastern States. And shat II New Eng
land united in the measure, it would In due time
be effected without resorting TO arms.

THE MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR sEY-
MOUR,

ALBANY, January 7ih,- Governor Sey-
mour sent in his message to the Le. slalnre
to-day. On the subject Of National, affairs he
! says:
| Not only is the national life at stake, but
! every person, every family, every sacred IN
and military situation must MT be kept back
. lhele must be no attempt to put down the
| free expression Of public opinion. Affrighied
at the ruln they have wrought, the authors of
our caiamties at the North and South insi ST
that this war has been caused by the unavods-
bic contest about slavery. This has been the
subject and not the cause of the controversy
We are to look for the causes Of the war IN
the Pervadng disregard Of the Obligations ot
the laws and constitutions disre>pect for the
constituted authorities, and, above all, in the
local prejudices which have grown up in two
parties of the Atlantic Staies-the two ex
tremes of our country. There is no honest
statement Of our difficulties, whici, does nor
teach that our peo pie must reform theu se yes
u
the policy Of our rulers. It is not too late to
save our country, if we will enter upon the
sacred duty IN the right way. Where it is
the right of our Government to decide upon
measures and policy, il is our duty to obey
and give ready support to their decisions
This is the vital maxim of liberty. This war
should have teen averted before its foodgates
were opened. The Administration could not
grasp It's dimensions nor control its sweep.
The Government was borne along with the
current and struggled as best it could with the
resstiess tide. Few seemed able to compre-
hend It's military or financial problems. Hence
we are not to sit in harsh Judgment upon er
rers in conduct or policy. But while We con-
cede all these excuses f'r mistakes, we are not
t. adopt errors nor sanction violations Of prin-
clple. The same causes which extenuate their
faults in judg .ent must make us more vgl
liant to guard against their influences"
The Governor urges that econnmy and in
tegrty in the administration OF affairs are vi
tai in periods of war. He says n,eddng and
intrigues have thwarted and paraIl zed the
valor of our soldiers and skill of our Generals.
within the influence Of the capital, while our
armies have gained victories IN fields remote

ETATE RIGHTS.

Not only must the constitution be held in
violate, but the rights of States must be re
spected as net less sacred. There are differ
ences of opinion as to the dividing line be-
tween the State and National jurisdiction, but
there can be none as to the existence of such
separate jurisdiction, each covering subjects oi
legislation and Jurisprudence essential to the
public security and welfare. A consolidated
Government in this vast country would de-
stroy the essential home rights and liberti
of the people. The sovcreignties of the States
except as they are limited by the Constitution,
can never be given up. Without them our
Government cannot stand 1t was made and
it can be changed by State agency. That is
shown by the following provision of the in
strn1nent ITSELF
The ratification Of the conventions Of nine
States shall be sufficient to the establishment.

ratifying the same"
Again, three fourths of the States can add
to, or take away from the powers of the Gen
eral Government, by demanding Convention

Fatal ARRAY al Fort wayne, Indiana.

From the Fort Wayne lind } Sentinel June %.
A shocking affair occurred in our streets
this forenoon, resulting in the death of
Daniel Poole. So far as we can learn the
facts they appear to be as follows: Poole's
wife practices as a midwife, and had said
something among her patients derogatory
to the professional skill Of Dr. II. S. Wood
worth; or, at least, the Doctor has been
led to believe that such is the fact. Yes
terday evening he went to her residence
and quarreled with her on the subject
probably using some harsh expressions.
Poole resolved to punish the Doctor for
thus insulting his wife, and this morning
waylaid him: and, as he was coming out
from visiting patient at the house OF r.
W. Taylor, attacked him with whip. Dr..
Woodwork retreated across the street and
some distance on the other side, closely
pursued by Poole, striking with his whip.
Woodwork at length drew knife from
his pocket and stabbed Poole under the
right ribs. Poole recrossed the street and
fell near Mr.. Taylor's gate, and expired in
about half an hour.
A post naoa'tena examination before the
CorOner's jury showed the wound to be
about four inches deep, penetrating the
liver, aud seyering large artery, causing
the unfortunate man to bleed to death.
Dr. WoOdwcrth is said to be severely in
jured, having received some severe blows
on the temple, supposed to have been in
tiicted with the butt of the whip.
An inquest is now being held on the
body of Poole.

Gettysburg.

Gettysburg, is the seat of justice of
Adams county, thirty-fve miles east south
east from Harrisburg, ffty-two miles
northwest from Baltimore, and one hun
dred and fourteen miles west from Phla-
delphia. 1t is situated on elevated ground
in the midst of fertile and well cultiva-
ted country, and at the intersection of
several important turnpike roads. 1t is a
plain town, but neatly and well built
The public buildings, besides the usual
county buildings, are bank, an academy,
the edifces of the Pennsylvania College
and of the Theological Seminary Of the
German Lutheran Church, and churches
of the Presbyterian, Lutheran, Seceders'
and Methodist denominations. These
buildings are all of brick except the county
prison. Considerable business is done
here in the various mechanical pursuits.
The place was formerly celebrated for the
manufacture of carriages of all kinds, but
this branch has very much declined of late
years with the changes in the mode of
travelling. There is branch railroad,
some twenty-five miles long, connecting
Gettysburg with the Northern Central
Railway at Hanover Junction, forty-six
miles above Baltimore-this branch strik-
ing the main track above midway between
Baltimore and Harrisburg.

Indian RunlOrs.

Persons from the Upper Minnesota who
arrived here yesterday, bring reports that
a large body of Indians, some say three
or four hundred in number, are at or near
the old Redwood Agency, in the vicinity
of Camp Pope, and fears are entertained
for the safety of the small force left at

OF some twenty or thirty Indians being
seen near Crystal Lake, near South Bend.
These reports may be nothing but rumors,
and we give them as such. They show,
however, the feverish excitement on the
frontier, which may, with very slight cause,
result in a mischievous panic, which will

flee tothe river towns. 'sr.s.r.,

The Hero of Winchester.

Major-General Milroy was serenaded in Har-

the one in that city, as emissares of jeff Davis,
He declared that he himself is Democrat, such
as Gen. Butler, Gen. Dix and Gen. Jackson

This tonguey Major-General is he who,
couple of weeks ago, skedaddled from
Winchester at the first approach of the
enemy, leaving an open door for the rebels
into Maryland and Pennsylvania. He
was behind Notifications, but these he de-
serted. He had from eight to ten thou
sand men under his command, but these
he suffered to scatter without an attempt
at fighting. At the top of his speed, pant

save his own precious carcass he came
vigorously into Harrisburg. He could
give no account of his command save that
he supposed they were captured, or of his
artillery, except that he had tried to spike
