" What We Know About He'll - A Cor
rection.

Ma. EDITOR: VIII you allow me to make o
correction Of a single point in your otherwise ex-
ceIlent report Of mysermon delivered last Sunday
evening" In yesterdays ADVERTISER you report
me as saying there may be a second proba-
ton. On this question, where good and wise
men differ, what I did say was this II quote from
my manuscript:
You say: If there Is a hell, I do not believe
that it Is everlasting" have no quarrel with
any man who, after a Teverent and thorough study
of the Scripture, comes TO the belief that there
may DO a second probation. The latest and best
thought Of those who hold this belief is not very
comforting to sinners. I hold in my hand DR..

punishment may continue in that spirit world, if
we pass impenitent from this, no one can esti-
mate; all that we know is that it will be long
enough and severe enough to produce the refor-

have 10 endure the torments Of hell, accordingto
DR.. Metcalf, until long after they have ceased to
exist, and tell me if such a doctrine of second
probation gives you much comfort? Let us lay
aside all our useless disputings about the dura-
ton Of future punishment, and face this ones
ton: "Is it not the part Of wisdom so to live
as TO keep out Of that place of terror altogether"
Think Of being a day, agar, ages, as long as the
eartn exists, " tormented in this flannel 4 con-
yentiOn Of orthodox Christians, in one Of their
public prayer meetings, was startled by q
stranger arising and making a forcIble
speech to prove second probation, and
he closed by affirming that all the
inmates of hell would eventually pass mp
out Of its fiery depths into Heaven. There was
a moment Of startled surprise. The suspense at
last became painful. Then old DIR. Mott arose,
his beard white as the driven snow and his
whole appearance sanity, and said in his loving
tremulOus voice: sour brother has told rs of a
way TO heaven which leads through hell. 1 do
not want TO go that way. 1 prefer that short,
easy, blessed way Of repentance for sin and
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ >" Ave, Is not
that the wise choice ? Why take the periloas
chance of a possible second probation, a way
that leads down through hell aud its unspeaka-
bic horrors, when the sure safe Joyous way of
salvation through Christ lies open before every

Our Government and Our Press.

Napoleon on being asked what quality was
most requisite in the character Of a good general
was said 10, have replied ''Paudace, - and to
the question what was the next requisite" it
was again a" laudace. - to the third it was still
i'Paudace ~toujours Taudace.
Now, courage, or contempt Of danger is ex-
tolled by every one, especially in time of war, or
in q good cause. when he who ~practises it is con-
5cious Of honesty Of purpose; but admiration is
changed into scorn when truth is altogether
wantIng-when the cause Of the war is U%niusti-
fable and courage is divorced from right and
justice.
A David in his encounter with a Goliah is adj
mired of all, 50 is a Hestor or a Hotspur, but a
Nero, a Richard, or a Manor, is loathed, exc
Grated by universal consent. 1t is the same in
political warfare. And on these Islands there
has been equal courage both in attack and de-
feLss. The courage Of the destructive press of
Honolulu has degenerated into mesdacious rash
ness, but well have its caitiff blows been parted
By you. The % 10, the turmoil raised during
the last few months on the subject of Leprosy
against the present Ministry is audacious to an
almost impossible degree, when the laxity, the
carelessuess, the almost entire absence of any
attempt to control the dire disease by gentlemen
who for years monopoIized the Government are
taken into consideration. No, Mr.. Editor,
the faults Of the ruling spirit of
the cabinet are other than those denounced
by the two ~yirtuous self-dubbed defenders of
public morality. That there are faults, and
grave ones, admits of no dispute, but they have
not yet been touched they do not lie altogether
with the Cabinet, and it Is doubtful whether the
Cabinet can reform them-certainIy no Cabinet
during the present reign has touched them. 1t
remains 10 be seen what can be done hereafter
much depends npon the people themselves
certainly it is devOutly to be hoped that savage
personalities and inaccurate statements may
earn the measure of success they deserve, and
no more. SPECTATOR.

How Richmond Was Surrendered.

When the van of the Northern army,
under the command of Col. Stephens,
came in sight, we (the Richmond City
Council), under flag of truce. met
them, when Mr.. Mayo then and there
surrendered the city in proper form.
We then entered our carriages. and, pre-
cedetl by portion of the enemy's cav
airy, returned to the city. The officer
in command went direct to the Capitol,
where, after hoisting the United States
flag and establishing his headquarters
he at once turned his earnest. .endeavors
to bring ord 7 out of chaos and protect
both persons and property. The con-
duct both of the officers and soldiers in
their attempts to stop the spread
Of the fire and extinguish the
flames is deserving of oil praise. The
aphorisn,, zone spark of nature makes
kindred Of MS all, was never more fully
exemplified than on that day, when /
saw the. elite white citizen of the day,
and the recent negro slave, and the
Yankee officer and soldier, vying with
each other to best protect and .1ubserve
the public interest. IF the flames were
not stopped, it was no fault of the pco-
pie or soldiery, but because the devour-
ing element had got beyond control
