Love.

Would all Christians dwell on the virtues
of their fellow Christians-would they ia k
of each others excelencies and amiable
traits and throw the vail of Christian charity
over each others little faults, how much
more love would there be among the follow
ers of Christ How much more enjoyment
among Christians And how much more
success would attend the preaching Of the
truth? The example OF Christians would
then convince the world of the reality of re-
Egion, and the unanimous exclamation of
the world would be See how these Chris
tians love" Christians would then be one
and the world would know them to be follow
ers Of Christ. Then let us love one another,
and be more anxious to see in each other
something of the likeness Of Christ. rather
than notice each others faults. - Observer.

The First Verse i'm the Bible.

The Rev. DR.. Murphy, Professor of He
brew in Belfast, has recently issued Crit
ical Commentary on the book of Genesis,
from which We extract the following COM
ment On the first verse of Genesis
This simple sentence denies Atheism
for it assumes the being Of God. 1t denies
nolytheisln; and, among its various forms,
the doctrine Of two eternal principles, the
one good and the other evil for it eonfesses
the one etsrnal Creator. 1t denies materi-
ahsm for II asserts the creation of matter.
1t denies pantheism; tor it assumes the ex-
istence of God before all things, and apart
from them, 1t denies fataism; for it in
wolves the freedom Of the Eternal Being.
49, 1t assumes the existence of God for it
is he whom in the beginning creates. It as
sumes his eternity; for he is before all things
and nothing comes from nothing, he him
selfmust have always been. It implies his
olmuipotence; for he creates the universe Of
things. 1t implies his absolute freedom
for he begins new course Of action. It inl-
plies his Infinite wisdom; for knsn,os an
order Of matter and mind, can only come
from . being Of absolute intelligence 1t
implies his essential goodness; for the sole,
eternal almighty, all-wise, and all-suliicient
Being, has no reason, no motive, and no ca
pacity for evil; it presumes him to be be-
yond all limit Of time and place; as he is be-
fore all time and place

is IN session here, Hon. Judge Stewart pre-
siding. Hon. J. w. Johnston is Advocate
General for the Grown, Mr.. Morse counsel
for the owners of the Chesapeake, uud J.
W. Richie counsel for the Confederates.
In opening the Chesapeake case, the
Judge stated that the cause was entered
upon the ground that the seizure of the
vessel was piratical act. His opinion
was that the vessel ought to be given up
to her owners.
Mr.. Richie asked the Judge TO contem
plate the probability of on application of
the Confederates for her.
His Honor declared he would not enter
tain anything of the kind.
Ar. Richie then gave his Interpretation
of the law upon the validity Of seizures.
coutending that any citizen Of the South
ern Contederacy, with or without COM
mission, has an absolute right to seize auy
vessel belonging to the federals and it
would be lawful prize.
The Advocate General said that ne felt
some difficulty in bringing the case into
this Court, as there was a pretence of her
being lawful prize; but there was prima
Iacie evidence that the capture was piracy.
His opinion was that the vessel should be
delivered over to its owners.

Bag-THE LATE REBEL RAID IN THR d..
REOrIoN OF CUMBERLAND AND NV CREEK.
We had conversation on Saturday last,
with Col. Frost, of the IIth West Virginia
Infantry, now engaged upon Court Mar
tial at Cumberland, from whom we gain
some particulars in regard to the late rebel
raid in the direction OF New Creek and
Cumberland. On Monday last Sen. Kelley,
at Cumberland received desp patch from
Col. Mulligau at New Greek, stating that
his pickets had been driven in and that a
rebel force of about three Thousand men
under Fitzhugh Lee was marching down
PattersOn's Creek from Burlington towards
New Greek. There were NO soldiers At
Cumberland, except a few six months men,
aud these were sent to guard the fords aud
bridges likely to be interrupted by the
raiders. The merchants aud bankers OF
Cumberland sent all their valuables up to
FrOstburgh, and what few soldiers remain.
ed in town proceeded to make arrangements
10 take to the woods in case the rebels
came into the town. No communication
could be had with Col. Thoburn at Peters-
burgh for forty eight hours, aud it was
feared he had been destroyed.
1t was finally ascertained that the rebels
had gone in the direction Of Romney, and
thence to Winchester, the present head
quarters of Gen. Early, who now com.
mauds new department lately established
by the rebels, called the Department of the
Valley.
1t is supposed that it was the design of
the rebels to march upon Petersbureh,
destroying Col. Thoburu, take New Greek
aud destroy the stOres, and then enter
Cumberland. Their march commenced ON
"ednesdayor Thursday of the week before
last, but the weather grew suddenly CO Id,
and they could not bring up their artillery,
owing to the icy condition of the roads.
They lost considerable time from this
cause, aud finding Col. Thoburn with a
pretty good force, and well fortified, they
declined to attack him. They avoided
New Greek for the same reason, aud fear
ing that their force. might be gobbled up,
they made back with greater rapidly than
they came.
Quite large number of deserters came
in on Tuesday and Wednesday, who rep.
resented that the rebels were suffering
most intensely from the extremely cold
weather and that many had persisted. The
raid was most complete failure in every
respect.
