The Christian witness.


A copy of the first number Of Rev. j. F.
GIvEN's Christian Witness has just been laid
upon our table. 1t makes creditable ap-
pearance, and is filled with choice matter.
Mr.. GIVEN is fine writer, an excellent
scholar, good preacher, and worthy man;
and we believe that he will make his paper
all that he has promised to make it. We
have known him well ever since we first
met in College, eighteen years ago, and
have rejoiced over his successes in the past;
and we hope to be able to congratulate him
upon the success of the new enterprise that
we are now noticing.
That our readers may be enabled to Judge
what are the scope and spirit of this new
paper, we present below an extract from the
Editors Introductory:
We propose to place this journal on the
broadest Christian basis. 1t shall eschew all
sectarian dogmas; and, above all things,
that bigotry and intolerance which in reli-
gion viii not allow another to be Christian,
"because he followeth not u.s. as in politics,
it allows no man the credit of patriotism
who does not swear in the terms of their
peculiar creed. The blessed Bible is its own
interpreter, unfolding its saving lessons into
every mans soul according to his own inr
So that though there be great
difference in their mode Of conceiving the
import of these lessons, yet there should be
a perfect charity among all those who ex-
hibit in their lives aregard for the principle
of the Savior.
The Bible, which is Athe only rule, and
the sufficient rule, both of our faith and
practice shall be our only standard of re-
ligion and morals, irrespective Of any So
called Higher Law" We shall moreover
use our best endeayors to oppose and coun-
teract certain radical ideas, whose preva-
lence has brought on us these fearful disas-
ters wbichnow threaten the Republic with
ruin. This opposition shall not be made
with the vile weapons of abuse and slander,
but with the inyincible weapons Of reason
and argument When we cannot produce
an arguinent we win not launch an oppro-
brious epithet instead.
We shall do what in us lieth TO help re-
deem our holy religion from fanaticism--
to cancel ont that wild discordant element
which is rapidly corrupting 1t, and work
ing disorder throughout the whole social
system--to purge Il Of those distempered
ideas which have sprung from a swollen
vanity of intellect presuming to supple

..WnsI,ington,s Islrtl,day.

The Twenty-second of February Ito
morrow is the glorious anniversary of the
birth of him, whom in days past all Ameri-
cans have been proud to call 'The Father
of his Country" But now it is the fashion
with the dominant party to decry his mem
ory, often by words, and always by theil
acts, in yillifying and trampling down that
Constitution and that Union which he re-
garded as the crown of all his labors and
sufferings and which, in his last words to
his countrymen, he commended to their
care and projection against the inroads Of
sectional and party strife and animosity,
with the affection of dying parent for his
children, .s-ss.,-gs.,
But the memory of WASHINGTON still lin
gers, with love and veneration, in the hearts
of the great mass of the American, people.
They do not feel in their souls to hate that
Constitution, of whose trainers he was
President, as "a covenant with DEATH" or
to despise that Union over which he was
the first Chief Magistrate as "league with
he'll. They do not regard the Federal
Government we had from the Inauguration
of GEORGE WASHINGTON to the advent Of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, as the worst, but as the
best the world ever saw.
The time will come when the memory of
WASHINGTON and his compeers, and the
recollection Of their glorious achievements,
will revive in the hearts of thousands who
have been led astray by the fanaticism and
madness of the hour, an ardent desire for
the return Of the union, prosperity and hap
piness we once enjoyed, and a stern deter
mination that these inestimable blessings
shall again be ours. Factious leaders may
triumph for brief season; but thespirit
that glowed in the bosoms of WASHINGTON
and his compatriots, still lives and burns in
American hearts, and will yet consume, as
fire, the .chaff and stubble Of faction, rev.
olution, secession, disunion and anarchy.

Gen. sIcCIenan's Report-SHr. Cox.

We congratulate our Representative in
Congress upon the success of his resolution
to print ten thousand additional copies Of
Gen. McCLELLAN's Report. The Country
is indebted to Mr.. Cox for first bringing
this able and satisfactory document before
. the public, from its hiding place in the War
Department, where the Administration was
anxious it should remain. 4,
Speaking Of this Report, The Newbury-
port Herald says: at is. admitted on all
hands to be one Of the best written papers
that has ever come from the press. AS q
political document it win be as much in de-
Inand as was the biography Of the sPath-
finder" in 1885, and in interest it will be
like aUncle Toms Cabin.n 1t may be many
years before twill be judged Of impartial
ly. Politics have become so mixed up with
our military affairs that our commanders
cannot expect justice by this generation
We have never doubted that MCCLELLAN
was first Of our military men. Possibly
GRANT may be his equal for practical oper-
ations; but the fighting in the East and
West has been SO widely different that we
can make no comparison between Them
CHANT has never had to fight LEE, who is
inferior to neither Of them, and probably
second to no military man in the world"

state Provost DHnrsRinl.-vvhy was
Not q Citizen Of Ohio ApPoint-
ed?

Our readers have seen, with some sur
prise, doubtless, the statement that Col. Z.
A. PARRoTT having rendered to the War
Department. his resignation as Provost Mar
shai of Ohio, which has been accepted, Col.
PORTER of the 18th New Hampshire, has
been appointed his successor. This ap-
, pointment may be temporary, or it may be
permanent. At all events, Col. POTTER, OF
New Hampshire, is, for the time being, Pro-
yosts1Iushaf of our State.
OF Col. POTTER we know nothing. He is
an entire stranger tous and, we presume,
the people of Ohio generally He may have
foraught we know, all the'needed qualifi-
cations to I'LL to the satisfaction of the Gov
ernmert and the people the responsible of
fee to which he has been appointed. We
have naught to say to his disparagement.
But we have something to say on another
point. 1t does seem strange to us, and no
doubt TO most people in Ohio and elsewhere,
that no man could be selected from the cit
izens of our own State capable of filing the
Office of State Provost Marshal, and that a
gentleman must be imported from the East
"a stranger to our people, our laws, Gus.
{ toms and habits.
We have unquestionably men in Ohio as,
well qualified to fill, and as deserving of the
office in question as ran be found out of the
State. Both their ability and '1oyalty" are
equally unimpeachable. We have military
men-officers who, from wounds or disease
contracted in their country's service, are on
the retired list. Some of these retired offi-
scers are gentlemen of fine executive ability,
and from their military knowledge and ex-r
perience, added to their general acquaint-
ance with the people of Ohio, and their
familiarity with our laws and usages, are
certainly entitled to consideration in APP
spointments to offices like that OF State Pro-
vost Marshal. Besides, there are numerous
other citizens of Ohio, in the civil walks of
life, suitably qualified for such positions.
Why, then, did the Secretary of War go to
New England to find his Provost Marshal
for Ohio? n

The Legislature.

Both branches of the Legislature ad-
journed on Saturday until Tu esday after
noon, to go on spree to Cleveland. This
amounts, virtually, to three days vaca-
tion, for there was only bare quorum
present in either House on Saturday, and
very little could be done-and on Tuesday
afternoon, there willnot be enough Members
in the city to make the effort at legislation
any thing more than farce. Only one
week before, both branches adjourned for
five days. What an Institution this Legis-
lature is! Everything it does looks as if its
great aim is, to pile up the Taxes. The
people will be called on to foot all the bills.

Hon. WIN. E. FINcK, OF 0mo.-Among
the best speeches which have been delivered
in Congress on the confiscation question,
was one by the Hon. William +. Finck, of
Ohio.s 1t was one of the first delivered, and
did much to mould the opinions which
have been adopted by the opposition,It was
dignified, clear,and argumentative, aud i'm
pressed the House with the idea that Mr..
Finck was man of superior ability. What
we want, said Mr.. Finck, in this crisis of
affairs is policy by which the patriotic
efforts of the brave men In the field shall be
seconded by. wise, prudent, and conciliatory
craftsmanship. That sentiment is key to
the whole speech, and proves it to be genu-
