wALPOLE.

A subscriber to the TIMES has given us the
following clipping as one of general interest
"Reading in the Witness "a remarkable pre-.
diction' reminds me of book read in 1857
three years before the civil war, called 'The
Defence of Armageddop,' being three lee
lures delivered by Presbyterian minister by
the name of Breckenridge, before the house
of representatives at Washington, think lin
1854. These lectures were in defence of a
book that had been published before and we'll
criticised. The main feature of the book was
an explanation from Scripture of what had
happened, showing clearly from the Book
that these things should have been. Then
taking up the future, the speaker said it was
not so clear; but he went on to show that
some tremendous upheaval was about to take
place, not later than 1860 or 1861. Mark
this was in 1854, six years before our civil
war. That prediction, so clearly fulfilled,
adds interest to a second prediction in the
same book. 1t was this: That not later than
1896 there is to be another great event, equal
in Importance to, if not greater than. the
other. The speaker said that while he could
not tell the nature of the first event, he
clearly foresaw by the text that the sc cond
would be great battle for civil and religious
liberty-a great moral battle in which the
whole world would be engaged, the United
States and Russia standing against all others.
