Sudden Conversions.

This is day of wonders. Maryels are the
offspring feyery passing hour. Sudden con-
versions are everyday occurrences. at least
three OF these have developed within a few
days, so marvellous that the conversion of
Saul Of Tarsus into Paul the Apostle seems to
be cast in the shade
The FIRST ofthese--:fs0e are to believe copper
head cerasons Of the qt;air-is that OF Henry
ward Beecher, recently the exponent and
incarnation of s'ride christianityn % CONNER
heads sneeringiy termed his teachinrss--to an
earnest advocate of State Rights, defender Of
new-fashioned Democracy, and the justiiier of
abandoning the emancipated negroes to the
tender mercies and paternal care of their late
masters. 1t is,perhaps, unfortunate for Mr.
Beecher's influence, that he is much more
celebrated for saying smart things--things to
astonish and bedazzle community than for
saying 'oise things, that produce deep and earn
est conviction, and sway and mould the public
mind.
Two other marvellous conversions have oc-
Cured, in this city, in the case of two CONFER
head papers, both of which are exuIting over
apoliical parson and the preaching of a politi-
cal sermonl These papers have been death
on all introductions Of political topics into tba
pulpit, and within few days have felicitated
the christian world on the fact that the ma
tional convention of a great and influential
religious sect, convened in Philadelphia, re-
fused to thank God for the restoration of peace
and the destruction of the primary cause of its
rupture They snufed from afar the slightest
reference to political topics, and commended
the convention for its wisdom and goodness in
closing the gates of the Lord against all aIlu-

LATE NEws.-Richmond papers say that
the city council has adopted an ordinance re-
pealing, at once, all existing ordinances relat-
ing to negro laws.
Hon. A. H. Stuart one of the successful car
diuate5 for Congress in Virginia, says the test
oath IS broad enough to exclude him from his
seat but If he violated any law OF the United
States, or incurred any penalty during the re-
oellion' he has been exonerated from all the
consequences by the general amnesty of Presi-
dent Lincoln, Of which he awaited himself on
the 18th OF May last by taking the prescribed
oath, and, therefore, he win decline to take the
test oath. ~ ~ u 3 100 lHt
One Juryman, summoned in Richmond, re
fused to take the oath to support the Consti-
tuition of the United States and the restored
government of Virginia, and was fined So by
the judges.
Gov; Perry, of South Carolina, delivered
message to the Legislature of that State on
the 25th. He recommends the fostering of in
ternal improvements, commerce and manufac-
lures, the encouragement Of foreign immigra-
ton, and also that they shall not be depend
ent, as heretofore, on the Western States for
horses. mules, cattle, hogs, bacon, lard and
beef moron the Northern States for furniture,
agricultural implements and cloths, but should
raise, grow and make every thing for them
selves. Now that slavery is abolished, labor is
rendered more honorable and more necessary.
Young men must become trades1nen, manu-
facturers and mechanics. Northern friends
are invited to come to the State. Immediate
provision must be made for the protection by
government of freedmen. This is expected by
the President and Congress, and will remove
all pretext for military rule. He opposes any
actlooidng to the reputation of the State
debt He recommends the exchange of public
documents with all sister States He has been
informed by the Post Master General that the
mails Will be carried over all the railroads as
soon as the department is assured of the, re-
sponsibility of the agents In conclusion, he
asks the people to look only to the future aud
not to the past.

gregational Church at New Gloucester, on
Tuesday last, both afternoon and evening.
In. the absenceo of the President, Charles P.
Haskell, Esq, was called to preside, and P. Lor-

Introductory remarks were made by the Chair

Kingman. Excellent and earnest speeches
were made by Messrs. Walton, Dow and
Beale of Portland, Messrs. StaclSpole, Dow
and Gross were appointed a committee to pre-
pare resolutions for consideration at the even

an able and interesting manner by Messrs

westbrook seminary-1mprovement,.

few days since, for the first time, we en-
Joyed the pleasure of very brief visit to
Westbrook Seminary, which is now confessed
ly one OF the best established and most -four
.ishing institutions of its class in New Eng
land. The school is large and under the most
perfect discipline. The Principal, Rev. S. Fl.
McCollister, is ''the right man in the right
place" and in his arduous labors and weighty
responsibilities he is well supported by an able
corps Of male and female assistants, all of
whom seem admirably fitted to the positions
they FILL
During the past season great and much
needed improvements have been made in the
! main building, and improvements are still GO
ing on in the grounds, which need much done
to bring them up to that standard OF taste
which the Trustees have adopted. Many beau
tiful shade trees have been set out and others
are now being transplanted, to which every
years growth will add size and beauty. a' I
The most noticeable improvements, however,
have been made in and upon the Seminary
building. 1t has been thoroughly remodeled
and repaired, insomuch that those who have
known it only in days gone by would scarcely
believe it was the same structure Externally
it has been improved, particularly in the tow
er, and painted pleasant soft color. Interi-
orly it has been made all new, the rooms
changed in form and size, and better adapted
to the uses for which they were designed and
to secure convenience and comfort. All looks
coy, comfortable and attractive. it4S
Slight improvements have also been made
upon the large boarding house. now known as
Goddard Hall, in honor of one of the truest
and most liberal friends of the institution,
TEoMAs A. GODDARD, Esq, of Boston. The
future of this institution is well assured. 1t
is worthy the fostering care of the wealthy
and influential Christian denomination under
whose especial auspices it has been brought to
its present high position among the Literary
Institutions of the State.

week in Montgomery county, Pa, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, by the discovery of cave
near the Old Trappe Church. Some boys were
playing among the bushes, when one of them

cave, and after examination it was found that,
down about nine feet there was a room some
seven feet square, with the floor carpeted, "a
| fireplace, cooking utensils and ladder, by
which the inhabitants, whoever they may be,
gained egress to the outer world. There are
meat bones and other unmistakable signs of
domestic life, yet no one can explain the mys-
terry. The caveiissaid to bea reality, but who
fashioned it, who occupies it, or how long it has
been there, no one knows.
