Hours with the Evangelist..

The second volume of this able work by
the Rev. DR.. Nichols, is on the counter of Mr.
Davis, the bookseller, ready for the subscrib-
ers, with few extra copies on sale. The me-
chanical execution OF the work is superior to
that of the first volume, and of its high quail
ties We need only say that it is from the "Riv-
essias" pre- - H~.-ehso.-.t Canah-;.Ica
The subjects treated in this volume are of the
deepest interest and the manner in which
these are presented, shows that the writer was
not only deeply imbued with the spirit of the
gospel, but that he had intimately communed
with the writers whose teachings he endeav-
ors to interpret; and above all, with the Di-
vine Master, whose life and character and in
structions,. he dearly and ahectionately I'M
folds. 1t is refreshing, after examining the
thin, ianciful and skeptical essays of Renan.
and such like authors, whose works have been
crowded on our attention, TO turn to the calm,
solid and devout expositions of mind which
seeks the truth through spiritual and earn
estly religious channel, and with an unclouded
faith in the Great Messenger, who came to re-
veal the Heavenly Father to his erring, sinful
children. Nobody can mistake the sincere de-
sire of the author Of this work, to know and
to teach the truth, and to impress upon his
readers the great and essential doctrines of
Revelation. Among the subjects discussed In
the twenty two chapters of this volume, are
the following: "Christ the Light of the
World," The Man born Blind" "Jesus at
Nazareth" and the vexed question of Demon
iacal Possessions, which are referred TO in sew
eral places; three chapters ON "The Sermon
on the Mount" in which the object and the
spirit of Jesus, and the character of his in
structions, are presented in so clear and i'm
pressiye manner, that they cannot fail 10 in
terest and improve every serious and atten-
tive reader; Embassy from john, "The
Good Samaritan" "Christ's nature and rank
"His Confession as the Christ" Marriage"
Slavery" "The Destruction Of jerusalem
THE Coming Of the Son of Man." "The Last
Supper" Sacrifices, Sin, Atonement, Divine
Influence" "The Resurrection"
These most deeply interesting topics, dis
cussed by an able Christian scholar. a sound
and critical theologian, in sincere spirit of
devotion and piety, must have wide and salu-
tary influence. Such a work is peculiarly
needed, and appropriate at this time, when
the public mind is drawn away from the pure
conservative doctrines of the Gospel, by the
ingenious, attractive and corrupting ESSAYS
OF transcedental and skeptical writers, who
throw around their delusive theories and fatal
errors, the charms of poetry and eloouence
We ask for this sound, practical and consery-
alive work OF our learned townsman,-the
work of his mature years and long Christian
experience, left as legacy to the community
in which he ministered for near so years-we
ask for it a careful study and serious appli-
cation of its wise aud devout precepts and in

Senator Pomeroy and his Circular.

Mr.. Pomeroy of Kansas, it is well known,
has allowed his name to go out appended to a
circular, the ostensible object Of which is to
damage Mr.. Lincoln's prospects for renomin-
alton, and to forward those of Mr.. Chase
The copperheads enjoy it hugely. Any thing
opposed to an "honest" man suits their case
exactly. "Old Abe"-the peoples MANS
the man of all others whom they most fear
Referring to this circular the Chicago Tribune
-one of the most extremely radical papers in
the whole West-says:
Mr.. Pomeroy, in the early stages of the AID.
minlstration, desired to have the control of
the gifts in the hands of the President for Kan
sas and the Plains. He aspired to political
position which his ability did not warrant, and
the President, with his customary shrewd in
sight, at once saw that his caibre was not suf-
hcient. Mr.. Pomeroy at once soured, and CON-
menced plotting against Mr.. Lincoln and this
secret circular Is a part of the programme
which he and small clique of disappointed
politicians are attempting TO carry out. 1t is
their game not alone to throw over Mr. Lin
coin but Mr.. Chase also, by playing them of,
one against the other, and then fall back upon
third candidate. The pretended endorse
ment of Chase is purely figurative. Mr. Chase
will be used to throw over Mr.. Lincoln and
then Mr.. Chase will go the same way, and an
outside candidate step in over the ruins ofthe
other two. 1t is very pretty game, but no
such hari kari process will take place, aud Mr..
Pomeroy overestimates his ability in thinking
ne can carry out this conspiracy, as badly as
he did when he undertook to be the represen-
tative man of the Northwest The circular is
O harmless bolt. Ii Mr. Lincoln is as weak as
1t pretends, time would have demonstrated il
and the future will show;i if not the circular
falls harmless. Mr.. Lincoln is TODAY the
strongest man in the country. He will make
better time on the next Presidential course
than he did in go. He is the peoples man
and the people have determined that he shall
go on and settle up the rebellion, reorganize
Secessia, wipe out slavery, and satisfactorily
solve the problem which he enunciated al
Springfield, that these States cannot exist half
slave and half Tree, by welding them together
IN the bonds of universal freedom. Mr. Pom
eroy and such politicians of limited abilities,
had better step aside or they will get crushed.
His Influence in his own State is shown by the
fact that recently the Legislature of Kansas re-
nominated Mr.. Lincoln almost unanimously.
He should take a lesson from this and also
from the pretty little fable of school-boy DAYS
Of a certain frog who split his cuticle in the
vain attempt to puff himself up to the size of
his neighbor the OK.

Mr.. EDToR:-I see your Augusta cores
pendent puts down the heaviest man in the
House of Representatives as the member from
Windham. That is a mistake. Scarborough
elected the gentlemen alluded to- to repre-
sent the copperhdad interest in the House,
and he is ct representative of that "persua-
sion" having used his Influence and voted to
hire our young men to stay at home, regard
less of the fate of our soldiers already in the
fight; SO we voted ! 10 majority against his
going to help the enemy in the Legislature.
If he is credited to Scarborough, as he should
be, the quota would be full under that call.

sB-The Argus repeats its very silly story
about the opposition of Mr.. Hamin to the re-

Mr.. Blaine in the same position. The Argus
