the Rev Charles f. Harris The interior Of the build

the services last evening both impressive and
inspiriting The Rev. Mr.. Harris arrived in New
York on the same steamer that brought oack
the great revivasts, and having been present at
several of their meetings we'll qualified speak OF
their performances in the cause of religion Mr. Harris
took his text from Acts, ill.,, 19"Repent ye there
fore and be converted that your sins may be botted
out when the times Of refreshing shall from the
presence of the Lord" The reverend gentleman after
some preliminary remarks on the text quoted pro-
ceeded TO point out the manner in which Mr.. Moody
and Mr. Sankey had accomplished their great religious
work abroad He remarked for instance, that Mr..
Moody possessed great deal Of practical common
and avoided docrinal discussions He was,
moreover very illustrative and sympathetic. and had
determined faith III his mission In London alone
1000 900 people heard him preach. Beyond ques-
ton he had given great stimulus TO religion. But he
entertained little doubt that at the commencement
of the movement Mr. Sankey contributed more TO its
success than Mr. Moody His enunciation was perfect
and his style of singing was altogether sufficient 20 rouse
any assemblage Between the two religion received
impetus altogether unlookedor Now the question might
arise would they be successful here He thought they
would be successful, though probably not to the same
extent as they were in England. The same element
that marked their abroad might not here
We are he said, familiar with Mr.. Moodys illustrative
style of preaching, while the English people perhaps
were not. Again, familiar with Mr.. Sankey's
style Of singing He might say that a mill
ion Sunday school children could repeat the words
and join in almost any hymn that Mr.. Sankey sung
These features, which were unknown in England,
might modify their successes here, but he believed
that they were men called by God to do noble work
In conclusion, the reverend gentleman committed the
great revivalss and their work TO God He gave them
his most unqualified approval and offered prayer for
their success. The reverend preacher finally gave a
glowing description of the departure OF Messrs Sankey
and Moody from Liverpool He said that the dock from
which the ugboat 10 convey the passengers to the
bound for New York 600 persons had formed

THE CHRISTIAN Observation-Disclosures BY


THE REV. SAMUEL NJ. HAMILTON.


Yesterday morning the Rev. Samuel NJ Hamilton
preached in tho Scotch Presbyterian church. Four

first time since his late return from Europe. His text
was taken from the Gospel according to 81. Matthew,
xviii Sand when they had lifted up their eyes they
saw no man, but Jesus only"


In the course of his sermon the eloquent preacher
said that when Christ transhgured before His peo
pie Moses and Elias the prophet talked with Him.
They came as the representatives of the law and the
prophets at the feet of the Mediator This trans
fguration was the most momentous event
that had occurred in the worlds history.
Peter was the first from SURPRISE and while
he yet spoke cloud passed over them out Of which
came a voice which said "This is my beloved Son, in
whom am well pleased" Peter may have been dis
appointed when he found that the kingdom Of heaven
was yet at hand But faith in Christ, who abides
with forever, must teach us TO watch and watt and
it is only through faith strengthened by good works,

WASHINGTON, April 5th.-The Pres
ident to-day stated in relation to the
present troubles OH the Texas frontier,
that he had not expressed his views to
any one, not even TO the Secretary of
State, who, like himself, had been
absent from the city. Orders had
been given to the military for protec-
tion of our citizens on the frontier,
but nothing had been done. The
Government was not yet fully advised
of the extent of the outrages, al
though it had been officially informed
Of the arrest of mail carrier and the
burning of the post Office by invaders.

peatedly been reminded Of 0utrages
heretofore committed by Mexicans
upon citizens of the United States,
both in Mexico and the United States.

Fifty-eight female editors in the

Their are some classes of journals the

rectly in their line, and we shall be
delighted to see them occupying such
positions. But we have our doubts as
to the propriety of their entering the
field of politics, We would not, for
any consideration, offend one of the
dear creatures for we love them with
all our heart by insinuating that
they were not competent to turn the
world upside down if they chose to do
it, but-but-w-w-we don't think they
will. What We was going to say was
this: For woman to stick to any
subject, she must love 1t with all her
heart, or hate it like fury. In either
case she will stick till Gabriel blows
his trumpet. But as she is so consti-
tuted that she can only love or hate
one thing at time, her journal is
very apt to grow monotonous to those
who love variety. There is nothing
they love more than a beautiful love
story, and they stick to that subject

government of the honest people OF
Louisiana. At the hour of midnight
orders were given and kilograms sent
granting Government aid. There was
a spice of politics In the New Orleans
dispatch; the third term question was
the stake. And we are not quite sat-
isfied that some personal interest, of a
private nature, does not enter into
this cool, dispassionate manner of
treating the Texas question. There
was a junketing expedition, formed of
Administration Senators, on their way
to Mexico on Government man-of-
war. and at Government expense at
the very time these outrages We're
being committed. Prompt response
to the call that was made for help, and
offensive action against the Mexican
marauders might have initiated
against the secret object of this expe-
dition. There is no use denying the
fact that all the plans and secret
schemes of this outfit were well known
to the President and Secretary, and
they would not have fitted out an ex-
pensive expedition without some per-
sonal interest in it. And to avoid the
possibility of giving offence to Mexico
they delayed action i'm this case. What
does the lives of few citizens of the
United States amount to in compar-
ison to million or more to be made
by this expedition?

The President says he has not ex-
pressed his views to any one, not even
to the Secretary of State, in relation
to the present troubles in Texas. Two
reasons are given why he had not ex-
pressed his views, viz: lst He had
been absent from Washington and SO
had the Secretary of State. I'd. The
Government was not yet fully advised
of the extent of the outrages. Away
off here in California we may not be
able to appreciate these reasons as fully
as those do who live under the shadow
of the White House. We have always
understood that Washington was the
principal place of business for the
President Of the United States and the
Secretary of State. But when the
most urgent necessity arises requiring
their presence they are both absent.
The second excuse is flimsy, to say the
least of it. He had been informed of
the capture of the United States
mail, and the mail carrier. But
he treats it as matter of trivial
Importance. "The matter would
probably be brought before the Cabi-
net" ave must hereafter determine
what will be proper to be done in the
premises" This is cool. The people
on the border Of Texas are being MUIR
dered and plundred on every hand,
while those in the service of the Gov
ernment are being captured and car
ried off with the Government mails as
booty, he calmly says, ut will proba-
bly, be brought before the Cabinet.n

The Postmaster General has signified his

You infer that there has been hitherto an

formation, how or in what way is the mail
conveyed to the mouth OF Red river, this
