"BIBLE VIEW OF PoLYGAMy.' IN
der this title an anonymous pamphleteer
directs keen satire against Bishop Hop
kins of Vermont for his pro-slayery
views. The writer dedicales his work TO
the Bishop, and remarks:
Gan admrer, like yourself, Of the in
ttutions of old, ! should hardly have
dared TO declare these truths TO a per-
verse and self clarifying generation, had
| not been emboldened by the example OF
one who so worthily wears the highest
honors of the church In constructing
my argument, therefore, as | have done,
with paragraph after paragraph OF your
very words, it has been because ] felt it
necessary TO shield myself behind your
authority from the charge which ignorant
presumption might else have brought, of
irreverently travestying the Word Of
God"
He then goes on to construct an argu-
ment to prove the lawiulness of polyga-
my, following the Bishops reasoning on
the slavery question, and shows that al
though practced by Jacob, David, Solo
mon and other Bible worthless, vet the sa-
cred volume nowhere condemns the Gus
tom and further, that while ii was in
full existence among the Jews during his
sojourn on earth, the Saviour never allu-
ded' to it, thus tacitly approving this
"peculiar institution while st. Paul
theoretically authorizes it. He therefore
contends that Polygamy has the sanction
OF the Bible. In conclusion he thus ey-
claims against the 'bigotry' of those who
denounce polygamy;
"Thus the mistaken bigotry of the
community, acting through the time serv-
ing pliancy of politicians, has disfgured
! our statute books with laws which place
ban upon this patriarchal institution !.
Noble Christian souls in our midst, yearn-
ting to revert to the hallowed rites of old,
are obliged to practice them covertly,
and under the opprobrious name of biga-
mlsts are tracked and prosecuted as fell
ons, martyred like the primitive Chris
tians under Decius and Diocletian.-
When some, belder than the rest, founded
on the banks of the Mississippi com
munity, which they fondly hoped by its
happiness and purity might convert a
stiff necked generation, they were driven
from their homes by uncontrolled fanat-
icism. When, after sufferings unspeaka-
lie, these martyrs of scriptural faith al
| length tourn refuge in the far distant
desert, and their prosperity testified u
their righteousness, still the nerseeutol
was upon their heels, and the whole "a.
ton, as Mr.. Floyd's acceptances will ties,
tify, poured forth its money like water
for the pitiful pleasure Of reforming their
domestic observances."

RECoNNoIsANCE To SUMTER. A
Morris Island correspondent of the Trib-
une gives the following particulars of a
boat reconnaissance to Fort Sumpter, on
the evening of the I'd inst;
Capt Ferris Of the 'T'Enfans Perdn'' regiment
in command of the boat infantry detached from
his regiment, left Cummings Point last evening
accompanied by twelve of his men, bound on an
expedition to the parapet of Sumter.
The night was dark and excepting the roughness
of the waves, everything favored the undertaking
which was one Of extreme hazard to the small
party engaged, who ran imminent risk of anni-
hilation or capture. They rowed slowly over, ap-
preaching the south face silently and touched the
base of the ruined wall. Leaving one man in the
boat, Capt. Ferris led the eleven others up the
steep pile Of debris which crumbled and yielded
beneath their tread, causing the captain to slip
explode, giving the al arm to those above. The
sentry on duty challenged after the usual manner
when Capt. Ferris requested him TO be silent, ask
ing him in sharp voice if he did net know his
friends, saying they were the relief from Charles
ton. 4
Failing to be deceived BY this, the garrison i'm
mediately opened fire from about fifty muskets,
when our men began to descend TO the boat-two
eighty wounded. The eoxswaiH left in charge
had busted himself in securing collection of
bricks az trophies. These they brought with them
together with others which fell pretty thickly in
and around the boat Much credit is due Capt.
Ferris for the GOODNESS and bravery with which
he conducted the affair.
