Greed and Practice Of Purits1ia

A writer in the Christian Witness, 70
viewing the different religious societies ofthe
world. gives the following picture Of the
religious creed and pra.ottie !. l of the sect Of
Puntans:
The Puritans, who left Enstand, settled
at Plymouth and founded New England,
protested to have He'd from persecution, and
sought place to worship God according
to the dictates and rights dfconcience, and
ito Christianize the Indian. They were not
settled before they robbed the Indian, en-.
enslaved their women and chrildren, sold
them to foreign bondage, and visited the
most inhuman and self-degradlng cruelties
upon oil classes with whom they came in
contact. They plundered the towns of the
natives, They employed and paid essas-
sins. Brides were paid for the assassina-
tion Of chiefs. They burned hundreds Of
IIshe natives alive. They roasted at the
stake women and chrildren, and burned
them in heaps. Their ablest and iavorite
divines declared that the burning offour
hundred Indians at once, mostly women and
chrildreE, seemed a sweet saver to God,
while they admitted it was awful to see
their blood running and quenching the yio-
lenSe Of the burning wood, and smell the
stencil. .Mather himself boosted that they
had that day sent four-hundfed souls to
hell"
! They turned upon 'the Qaakeas. Thy
| Imposed heavy fines for herring them SPEAK,
They passed laws against all other sects.
They logged women and children. They
lput them inprison and whipped them daily.
They cut off their ears. They bored their
tongues with red-hot irons. They hung
men, women and chrildren as witches, and
continued this for fifty years. The colo.
MES Of. New England were threatened with
absolute determination by their fanaticism.
They exiled Baptists and Catholics. They
ldrove women and helpless children, under
4 the seyerest penalties to seek protection
among the sayages, where they were all muir
dereda because they, differed with them on
metaphysical divinity. Mather, the clergy
.)Gevernors and Legislatures all combined
and We'd with each other in radical fury ans

MORE SHOOTING By NEGRO SOLDIERS
six negro soldiers, who were armed as
though they were on duty, opened fire on q
gentleman last night, about 9 o'clock, at
Mrs. TuttIe's boarding house, near the cor
nerr Of Conception and Massachusetts,
streets. The gentleman, as he passed in
the. gate, was ordered to halt by the negroes,
/ and as ne was complying with the demand,
oflepf them raised his musket and deliher-
ately fired at him, the ball narrowly missing
him and lodging in the doorpost behind
him. The black scoundrels then came up
on the gallery, and using very abusive Ian
,guage, threatened to dispatch him with their
hayonets. The. gentleman escaped into the
house as soon rs possible, and henegroes
left swearing vengeance on every whiteman

10 His Eaoeaeney Aaaress Johnson
President Of the United States.
We, the undersigned women Of the Val
lev of the Shenandoah, respectfully lay be-.
fore you this petition for the unconditional
5pardonof J eferson Davis, the beloved presl-
dent of the late Confederate States.
Doubtless your conscience IS ruled by
those dictates of christianity which every
where inculcate forgiveness of enemies;
therefore although, by seeding from a
union SO dear to you, we have aroused feel
ings implanted in your soul by reason and
: nature still in this hour Of your triumph,
we entreat your clemeney for one who holds
his place in our hearts, as our ideal Of the
Christian statesmen, brave soldier and
u chivalrous gentlemen.
The war is now over, and there is no
e need of Mr.. Davis suffering longer. With
perfect security to the Government may be
freed. AS he is no more guilty than We,
who besieged Heaven with prayers and fas-
ting for their common cause, why shall he
suffer more2 Nor will you as the impair,
'tial Father Of your country. forget his past
services to that union you so fondly cher

"a Your Excellency, look over the history
of this Valley. Remember the 'srrials oil
Fire" Of Hunter and Sheridan have passed
over us. Our houses have been pillaged, oul
churches destroyed, the very ashes of oul
dead .desecrated. The chiidless, the wild
ow aud orphan among, US are destitute
The young and the old, the noblest and
fairest, are hewers of wood and drawers Of
water. Want and sorrow clasp hands with
Us everywhere We bear the anguish oil
disappointed public and private hopes, the
goadings and insults Of not too generous
foe. We are cut off from the synpathies
of Christendom, and seemingly deserted by
: God Himself. In this hour Of darkness
aud misery, give US, we beseech you, the
comfort of seeing Mr.. Davis restored to bis
family, in whose defense he has risked hi:
life. tssI
Would yoa have us join in the prayer:
now breathed for you BY oMr clergy
Would you gain that greatest of victories
the conquest of the hearts over whom yor
are called to rule? Would you gain I'M
mortal fame as the healer of the breach be
tween the people Of the North and the
South Then, your Excellency, give to o'll
prayer the liberty of the man we so dear
" love, and who cannot be rooted from oul
hearts BY capacity, exile or death. Soothe
the feelings Of evaporation which secretly
burn in our souls, at tales of his suffering;
and memories of our own, and hear US q:
you will ask mercy at that Bar, before al
must one day stand.
And your petitioners will ever pray, &c
