For the Lancaster Led0sr.l

Mr. EDtToR: Tue Press is like a holy
ordinance, In the proper observance Of
which, good will result therefrom, but In
the abuse thereof, evil.
When the congregation was suppress.
ed into silence by removal Of their Pastor
without their knowledge and consent, and
when every avenue leading to the high
Conrt Of justice was closed against them,
tue Press then spoke for the accom- mplish-
ment OF good in giving true and con.
cieo s.a,epen. Of the difficulties Of Shiloh
and the disrositioh thereof by the sccle.
siastical ludicatory.
-, Reliable inform alton will. warrant the
following: The Congregation will be
declared vacant by official authority at
some future time, ,ohen the congregation
erpects TO be notified of the cause for III e
vaccacy. Officers not Disqualified by
,miscemeanors n their stations. ought or.
dinarily to retain their offices for life."-
,"Presbyteries are to use special diligence
for removing those uueasinesses and com.
plants against Ministers. xhich arise
from causes that will not warrant a pro.
cess"
Agencies and outside ts6uehcas were
ingeniously employed to darken council
the fruits Of a party nine months beyond
the discipline Of the Churcb. 1t would
be arrogative to say that the Rev. CON-
mittee did not act with an eye single to
Gods glory and the best interests Of the
Church, with the light Of Information
before them as Ministers Of reconciliation.
But there was other light Of inform alton,
which had the Congregation beer sum.
moned to appear before them by their
Commissioners, would have been revealed,
and thereby enabled the Committee IN
making out their report to Presbyterv TO
arrive at different conclusion. This, il
not legitimate, is a reasonable coaclu
sion from proceedings Of the Fall and
Spring Presbvterv. By an act Of the
former, the Pastor is ordered to vacate
his Pastoral charge By an act of tb q
latter, he is permitted to return at his
own discretion in compliance with Pc.
tition from the Congregation.
BY extraordinary proceedings Society
has lately sprung into existence by regu
lations Of their own formation, styling
themselves the "Congregatiou of Shiloh, :"
claiming to be entitled to the house, land
and appurtenances, rights and privileges
OF and belonging to the Congregation.
But however anxious they are to aspire
to that exalted distinction, this Associa.
ton cannot become a separate Congre pa.
tion before the vacancy in the Congrega.
tion has actually taken place, and before
they are duly organized and legally in.
vested with all the rights and powers of
an independent Con gregation.
Although, unacduain,ed with the wri.
ter, you should take little pleasure in the
discourse Of stranger. yet justice requires
Of you patient hearing from the author
TRUTH, speaking 10 the majesty of it's
power and vindicating its own inalieua-
BILE rights. Yours truly,

ted the shackles of earth and escaped from the
cOrporeal prison Of the body to enjoy the fruits of

humble submission to the decree of God, in this,
our sudden bereavement, We should not forget to
emulate those noble virtues of our deceased friend
and Observation-Disclosures and Forbearance one to-

John D. Heatwo.e, has left with us speci-
men of his stoneware, which we have found
upon trial, to be fire proof. Mr.. H. is one
of the oldest and best of our stoncware man
ufacturers, and has been laboring for years
to find a clay or process by which stone
ware could be rendered impervious to the ac-
ton of heat, and he has at last, he is satisf-
ed found the object Of his anxious search
and solicitudc. The e-proof stonewore he
makes can be used for boiling articles on the
heated stove with IMMUNITY, nor will it break,
of course, from the sudden pouring in of
heated liquids. When Mr.. II. has compile
ted his experiments, he hopes to effect
revolution in the business of stoneware, as
it can be substituted for many Of the iron
vessels now used in cooking on stoves

Washington telegram to the ,bbhiladelphia
Press says:
The rumor from Richmond that General
Candy will insist upon the iron clad oath to
the members elect Of the Virginia Legisla-

is that the whole matter will be referred to
Congress on the first Monday Of December
by the President. Congress alone can set
aside thatoath, and if Col Walkers friends
are sincere in their Republican professions,
they will cease the utilization with the old
old Democratic leaders and join hands hearth
