DEATH OF A VERY OLD LADr.-That
the climate of Louisiana is not unfavor-
able to longevity is proved by the follow
ing obituary which we find in the Baton
Rouge Advocate:
Died, in this city, ON the 11th instant,
Mrs. Mary Sanchez, aged ITO years.
The deceased was by far the Oldest in
habitant of this Parish. She was born
ut Galvestown, in East Baton Rouge, on
the 10th Of August, 1856, and with few
exceptions has never in the course OF her
long and peaceful life been beyond the
parish lines. During her life she has wit
hessed the elevation of the Spanish, Eng
lish, French American and Confederate
flags over the fort and city of Baton
Rouge. Her numerous relatives and
friends bear witness to her virtues, and
thus after long life in a troubled world
she sleeps her last sleep.

A CHARGE.

The following is a portion of tho
charge ofthe Rev. Professor Cole, Of
Rutgers College, New Brunswick,
New Jersy, to the Rev. 0. II. Hazard,
the pastor of the Second Presbyterian
church of that city, at his recent in
stallation and it is worthy Of place
in your paper.
"Remember, my brother, that you
are a Commissioned servant of the
Lord Jesus Christ,a and that the explicit
language Of your comnlissioni 'stio
preach my gospel" And remember,
that the one great object of your min
istry is, to secure the salvation oflost
sinners. Upon you has been dlvinely
conferred the distinguished honor of
an ambassadorship for Christ. You
are sent to bear Just one simple message
to lost men. You have no business'to
turn aside from it TO the right or left.
Every one who enters the ministry
needs to be cautioned on this subject.
The gospel is so simple and the epreach-
ing of it so plain, and to proud, dark
human nature so unattractlve,a and the
preacher himself SO utterly powerless
to convert his hearers, and so shut up,
otter to the necessity working with
out seeing iHmediate-often without
seeing any fruits of his work, that in
his agony of interest he is apt TO be
betrayed into the adoption of mere
human expedients to infuse more at
tractiveness into his pulpit services.
This feeling in some preachers, ,togeth-
er with a painful lack Of religious e.r-
perieace in others, turns many of our
sermons into moral essays and bald
harangues upon specific sins. This it
is which leads preachers into the Sc
lection of themes drawn from litera-
ture, science, art, and politics. This
it is which creates the straining after
out-of.the-way texts and startling
analyses. Earth, and air, and sea, and
sky are laid under contribution for
material which will cater to the taste
of fashionable but heartess audiences,
which will tickle the ears of people
who are spiritually dying for want of
realization that they have souls to be
lost or saved. Ny brother, seorn to
turn aside from the pure gospel OF
Jesus Christ Pray to have your own
soul alive with the profoundest reali
cation of that truth that clusters round
the two great central themes of sin
and salvation and then, by the grace
of the Holy Ghost, let tyour dlscourses
be the outpouring Of this realizing eX
perence upon your hearers. Pres

THE SUIT AGAINST THE SECRETARY
OF WAR.-In this case, it will be re-
mombered, Joseph MADDOX, Of Mary
land, q short time since, commenced
a suit against Secretary Stanton to
recover the sum of $780, 000 damages,
for injuries alleged to have been re-
ceivcd from having been Illegally i'm
prisoned by the Secretary's orders.
The Secretary among other things,
makes answer to the effect that what
ever arrests and imprisonment ofthe
plaintiff were made if at all were by
virtue of the orders of the President
of the United States, and by virtue of
his powers as Secretary of War, to ar
rest any one who was found giving
aid and comfort to the enemy dur
ing the rebellion. Counsel for the
plaintiff made motion to strike out the
above parts of the answer, on the
ground that they were irrelevant. On
Saturday, Justice Sutherland, Of the
Supreme Court, denied the motion,
with $40 costs, to abide the decision of
the aetion.--N y. Sun.

BRING BACK THE STOLEN PROP
ERTY

Rev. c. G. Pinclkney, of Charleston,
S. c., makes the following public, for
the restoration Of the plate of his
church that was stolen at the time OF
the sacking and burning of Columbia,
February, 1865:
CHARLESTON, Jan. 4, 1865.
Among the calamIties which have
befallen many of our churches in the
past year, is the entire or partial loss
of our church plate Myown Chxroh
(Grace Church) had a full and hand
some communion services, which was
sent to Columbia for safety. 1t was
lost in the sack Of that city by Sher-
mans army on February 18th last.
The communion plate Of st. Miohael's,
Charleston, the gift of Queen Anne,
and that of Trinity Church, Columbia,
was all stolen, or destroyed in the fire
on that occasion.
1t has occurred TO me that you
might do something to aid us in the
recovery of some, at least, of these
vessels, endeared TO us by use and by
so many religious associations. They
have probably been offered for sale in
the larger cities of the North.-They
may have fallen, into the hands ofseme
who are willing to restore them on
Just terms, to their rightful owners.
Each piece of plate of my own church
was distinctly marked Grace Church,
Charleston. The others were, pre-
sumo, in like manner engraved with
the names of their churches.
The record book of st. Michaels
Church, more than one hundred years
old, was carried off. II Uds seenlntRe
hands Of parties going North frem
Charleston. 1t is a very valuable
book. The members of the Church
will be under obligations to you,ifyou
assist them TO recover it.
Yours respectfully.

A DEAD HUSBAND Turns UP-The
Reading Gazette says another case of
the dead coming to life has just been
brought TO light in the Registers Of
fee of that county. A citizen of Read
ing who enlisted in the early part of
the war, and from whom no informa-
ton was had for scmc time, was given
up for dead. His supposed widow, in
order to draw a certain legacy, which,
IN the meantime became payable to
the husband, took out letters of admin
istration on his estate, drew the legacy
and was again married Immediately
thcreupon. A few weeks afterwards
the hurband-not dead, but living
called at the Registers office, where
he was informed that letters of admin
istration on his estate had been grant
ed to his supposed widow, wbereupon
he instituted legal proceedings against
his wife and her sureties TO recover
back, not the wife, as he alleged, but
the legacy. This is the second case
of a similar nature that has occurred
in the Registers Office of that county
within the last three months.
