The Roc x Of Danger.


( In sermon lately delivered by the Rev.
passages !.
In the straits Of Sunda, between Jaws and
Sumatra. is a small rock called the Strooms
Rock, the top Of which. is just washed and
half covered by waves, while all around the
water is SO deep that no anchor can touch
the bottom. A ship was once passing :
through these straits, carried on by the tide
with scarce wind enough to fill her sails, :.
the current bore her rapidly along towards
this rock. The danger was seen and every
effort made to guard against it. The, yards
were braced, but the wind no longer filed
the sails, and on the ship sped to what
seemed her destruction. The loud commands
Of the officers, and willing response of tha
sailors were hushed, and silently each
watched the rapidity approaching danger. !.
But when hope had almost turned ia !
despair, breath of wind fills the sails. tha
ship obeys her helm. the dark rock with iha !,
foaming sea around it il seen over the ships q

A Question Of yeracitx.

rY-The Advertiser says the Laws of the
United States are published" in that paper "BY
AUTHORITY" No such thing. The only pa
pers IN this State authorized to publish the
U. 5. Laws, are the Bangor Wing and the Lew
lston journal The Advertiser has no author
ity to publish them, and receives not a cent
for so doing.-lPortland Press.
There is not word of truth in the above and
the Press ought TO be ashamed to make such A
statement. We have the authority sin black
and white,'' to publish the Laws. = Portland
Advertiser
Here is plain contradiction to say the
least. We are disposed TO give the authority
for our former statement. Late in December
or very early in January, we wrote to a gen.
tleman In Washington, gentleman not only
of the highest responsibility, but who holds
one of the highest offices known to the Consti-
tuition, making inquiries relative to the publ
cation OF the laws, and suggesting the conyen-
ienee IL would afford us to place them "by au-
thority," in our columns,-for we did not sup
pose the government ol the United States
would be likely 10 continue the publication of
the laws in a paper that had surrendered to the
enemy, and was drinking daily draughts from
the pools of secession. Under date of Jan. 5,
1858, we received an answer to that letter
from which we copy the following extracts:

IN State can be authorized to publish the laws
These two papers had been selected and appoint
ed before came to Washington. | believe they
are the Wing at Bangor, and the Journal at
Lewiston.
In view Of the foregoing extracts we sub
NIT to the reader whether the press ought to
be ashamed to make such a statement as that
contained in the first of the two paragraphs
1T the head OF this article. We will not saw
that the Advertiser states what is false, but we
do say, If its present statement is true, our
correspondent labored under an egregious err
ror.
