that which is to come. It's circulation is
especially necessary in a country like
ours, whose social and civil institutions
prominently require the purity and the
sanction of inspired truth and in an age
like ours, in which anti-Christian and
dangerous theories threaten to undermine
the foundations of faith in God, and of
allegiance to wholesome laws The Bible
is the sanctuary of both. Every branch
of the Church of Christ is summoned to
sustain this great enterprise by the high
est and the holiest motives; and every
citizen is under obligation to promote it
by the loftiest incentives of patriotism.
This is the work, the only work Of the
Virginia Bible Society; a work the mag
nitude and utility Of which demand the
combined effort Of all the lovers Of Christ
and Of his gospel.
The Society is dependent, under God
for its support, exclusively upon the vol
untary contributions of the friends Of the
cause. This is its only endowment 1t
possesses no other resources whatsoever.
These are not only absolutely necessary,
but are amply sufficient, if developed by
a lively ZEAL for this legitimate method
of difusing the pure Word Of God
amongst the population Of our State, and
of forming basis upon which every evan
gelical Church may more successfully full
fill its appropriate errand
The work of the Society is, at the pre-
sent time, decidedly encouraging, limited
as it is by the want of means sufficient to
realize its desired extension Its terri
tory is large, its fields are white unto the
harvest; its laborers are comparatively
few, and the demand to occupy it is urged
by the most affecting plea In the name
of the Virginia Bible Society, of the
Board of Managers representing your re-
spective Churches, and in the name of
Him whose blessed word it is our mission
to spread, in its printed form, we invoke
your aid in sustaining our agencies, and
in appealing to your congregations for
funds to enable the Society to keep on
hand full supply Of the publications Of
the American Bible Society, and to put
in the field complete corps of efficient
workmen. Allow me, on behalf Of the
Virginia Bible Society, to urge your I'M
mediate attention to the raising Of collec-
tions from your respective congregations,
whether large or small, and remitting
them, as soon as possible, to Rev. NJ. w.
Staples, Agent, Richmond, Va. The So
ciety needs your immediate help.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Note from DR.. WaddelI.

MesSrs. Ed5torS,-Your courtesy leaves
me nothing to do in the way of vindica-
ton, except to explain the phraseology Of
the extracts. The power of contrary
choice" is, by American writers, referred
to the luH, as a distinct faculty indepen
dent Of the conditions of the intelligence
and affections I use the expression In
tins sense on p. $40 Of the ReVlel0 You
are too familiar with this usage to insist
that 1 meant that the soul Of Adam had
no option. l was discussing the power Of
choice IN the loiU exclusively. Again
you quote paragraph from p. 548, which,
in the succeeding paragraph, | expressly
state, was "a DEPRESSION purely Spec1t(d-
tire, and not essential to the argument "
But in that passage l furnish no ground
for your allegation, that maintain " that
it was impossible for Adam to resist the
Devil" l admit in it the possibility Of
such resistance, but deny that there was
any security in his nature to render that
resistance permanent The main subject
was the certainty of events, and the argu-
ment was that, if the fall was certain, 1t
was impossible for-itt TO be at the same
time ,eacertajn I hope am understood
Supposing that you are not inclined to
infict upon your readers a discussion Of
these abstruse themes, l add nothing
more than my thanks, and belief that
YOU have not intended to misrepresent me.
Yours truly,
JAMES A. WADDELL.

From Hampton, Va.

A Presbyterian church was organized
in the bounds of East Hanover Presby
terry last April at Hampton, by com
mittee appointed for the purpose, Of
which Rev. J. NJ Rose was chairman,
consisting of twelve members. At our
communion on the 1st Sabbath in August
two were added to our little band: one
bv certificate and one on profession Of
faith. I entered upon the work in this
field ON the 2nd Sabbath in June CAST
Preach alternately at Hampton and Suf-
folk. We are making every effort to
build church edi6ce at Hampton. The
Importance of our little move here will
appear when you bear in mind that this
is the only (?) Presbyterian church regu-
larlv ministered to on the Peninsula. We
are much encouraged to go forward by
the assurance that succor will be given
us by friends. / have never seen such
determination and zeal manifested in
church enterprise as here. We are in
great hope that several others who are
much interested Will join in with us.
Yours fraternally, L. E. SCoTT.

WILL MEN NEVER LEARN COMMON sExsE'-

WILL MEN NEVER LEARN COMMON SENSE p
Another fatal illustration Of the consequences
of acting upon suspicion, and of deciding hastily
upon circnmstantial evidence, without trying
to ascertain the facts, occurred in Smith Coun-
~, few days ago. An old Swede and his son.
from Wisconsin,. ont of money, were travelling
on foot to Kansas, and passed through q neigh
borLood in Nebraska, near the Kansas line.
That same night, a robbery was committed in the
same neighborhood, by two men. The Sheriff of
the Nebraska County, with q comrade, went in
pursuit. The next day, they came upon the old
Swede and his son, sitting by the roadside, eat
ing some cold victuals that farmer had given
them. The Sheriff took it for granted that these
were the robbers, and drawing a revolver, corr
manded them to surrender. The Swedes could
not understand word of it, but the young one
thinking they were attached by robbers, started
to run, when the Sheriff, supposing, from a mo-
tion he made that he was reaching for a revol-
yer, shot him dead, In the first place, he sHp-
posed these innocent men were robbers, and then
he supposed one of them was preparing to shoot,
SO he fired away, and killed him. He never took
the slightest pains to ascertain whether either
of his suspicious as probably correct, but
banged away, and committed a crime that he
can never repair. He committed a cold blooded
murder, for which be should be punished. If
men go crazy, and commit such outrages with
out evidence or manufacture circumstautial ev-
idencs out of simple acts that might easily be
explained, they should not escape punishment
upon the plea that they thought thus and 50, or
that they made a mistake.

Messrs. Houghton, Osgood e. Co., of Boston, have
brought out popular edition of the illustrated "Un
Gle Toms Cabin" which was Issued in so SUMPTION,
q style during the holidays. An entirely new edi
ton of this book had become necessity as the old
plates, from which some $4,000 copies had beer
printed, had become too much worn for further use
This reprint of Uncle Tom is prefaced by intro
ductiou which gives sngularly interesting account
of the book,-how it came to be, how it received
by the world and what has been its history through
out all the nations and tribes of the earth, civilized
and uncivilized, into whose language it has beer
translated
The effect of the book upon the world Mt large
cannot be easily described II is perhaps best shown
in the interesting photography of the work by
George Bulen, keeper of the Department of Printed
Books in the British Museum That library has
translations of "Uncle Tom in twenty different Ian
guages, viz: Armenian, Bohemian, Danish, Dutch,
Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Hungarian or
Magyar, nyrian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Roma
ic or Modern Greek, Russian. Servian, Spanish
Swedish Wallachin and Welsh. In some of these
languages, as, for instance, in Frnch and German
there were many different versions, and there were
thirtyve different editions of the original English
and eight of abridgements and adaptations. 1t was
reviewed in critical publications all the world
and its author received innumerable letters regard
ing it from people of other lands. Yet these fact.
but faintly indicate its wonderful popularity, pop
ularity unique in the history of literature.
This book contains about 100 illustrations and i.
in every respect excellent edition of a most re
markable story 1t is sold for 800, and can be pro

SOME NEWSPAPER FAsHIONs.-In these days
of COMPRISING the most news in the smallest
space, some of the metropolitan journals have
adopted fashions, in which they are aped by small
er papers, that are altogether superAuous. One
Of these is placing full top heads over the small
est items, expressing the substance of the items
themselves and frequently occupying more space.
Like this:
SINGULAR AND FATAL CAusALTY-A MAN IN
PENNSYLVANIA DIES OF THAT DREADFUL
DISEASE, CHAMBERS.
A man died in Pennsylvania, last week, of CLAN
dcrs.
another fashion is giving the politics Of pa
per from which an item is copied, when the item
bears no relation to politics. For instance, the
statement that refreshing rain occurred at
Bugtown, last week, and that the crops promise
an abundant yield, is credited to the Bagtown
Yoarler, (Dem.)
Still another, is giving the date of the paper
from which an article is copied, when the date
is of no consequence. Thus:
"A thoroughly tested and specific cure for worms
in young Guinea pigs, is asafeteda pills shot into
them from fiint-lock musket-DadsriHe Bngie, Nay
lst'
Some of the big papers ridicule the common
place aud useless local items that are frequent
ly found in country papers, yet such superhui
ties as have noticed above, occupy more
space in the big papers, than the useless items
do in the littls papers.

= WHERE 1T HURTs.-Tbe Southern Chivalry
have now discovered that The negro exodus has
been worked up by the Northern Republicans, to
draw the negroes from the South, aud thus
ducs their population at the next census. They
see their population dwindiing, with certainty
that the next census will greatly reduce the rep
resentation of tue "Solid South" in Congress and
in the Electoral College, while the Republican
North will gain in the same proportion. The
Constitution expressly provides, that if any
state.abridses the right of suffrage, its repre-
sentatiou in Congress shall be reduced in the
same proportion. The South has practically
DISTINGUISHED more than one-half its legal vot-
ers, and still holds its full representation in
Congress. 1t is virtually nullifying the Consti-
tuition, but the Confederate majority in Con.
gress will uphold them in it. But if they make
the South barren wilderness, it will tell in the
census, and the next npportionment for Con-
sressmen will place them in their proper posi-
tion, in spite of the Confederate Congress.

by the Democratic newspapers, since the Con-

discovery that Blaine, Conkling and Grant hired
Booth to assassinate Lincoln!

KNIGHTS OF HoNOR.-An article which We
publish in another column, gives some wonder
full Stats tics of this new but remarkable Order.
The yellow fever, last year, WAS trying on this
order, the re having been numerous member
ship in the stricken district. Yet every loss
was met promptly, requiring only twelve assess
ments upon the members. The family Of each
deceased member receive $1,000; yet each
death costs the surviving members only about
four cents. In the yellow fever year, the worst
the Order has ever experienced, or probably will
experience for years, the cost to each member
was only sl6 year. Ordinarily the average
will be about s1l. For cheap insurance, this is
unsurpassed; and the payments are. made along
in such small "dribs," at that.
A Lodge of this Order is in operation in Troy,
affording all an opportunity to make provision
for their families, in case Of death.
