All the friends of this Holy Day ere desired to meet and unite their vice and prayers against the desecration of the Sabbath, and assist in moving forward the efforts now making on ibis subject. Soxsof Temperemce. In June 1844, there was established l New York a Society or Order, .-ailed 'SonsofTempermce" having for its object a more firm fonndaion for the temperance reform securm more fully tie observance of the pledge nu ii is sai'j, havm?, for its object all the charities, brotherly love, and sympathies for the miseries and distressesof mankf nd, which the ancient order of Masons have', wiitio.it any of the ,,opu.r prejudices which that honorable body has to encounter. The Sons of Temperance have increased in numbers beyond ail precedent, and have embraced the great, pood and wise mn or the land. In the nty of Cincinnati there are some 1600 members. We are advised that some of the citizens r Brookville have petitioned the Grand National Division at New York, for a charter fjr a Division in this plaee, which has been granted, and Bro. John C. Vaughan editor of the Cincinnati Gazette, has been appointed by the National Division to visit Rrookvilleand institute Indiana Division No 1. We have learn ?d from Mr. Vaughn that he will visit here in a few weeks. We wish some arrangements rould be made to induce Mr. Vaughan to give a public address upon the subjects of Temper-1 ance, and the ' Sons of Temper ,nce," cither before or after the institution of the Division. Will i::ose authorized, correspond with him upon the subject. ratal Rencontre. We undeistad that! an altercation took place at Liberty. Ind. n Friday last, in which Mr. Archibald ! Esiep struck Mr. Hasiem with rl,,;.. -t killed him instantly. We are entirely unadvised of the particulars in the case. Mr. Kstepgave himself up to the officers, and gave bond in .$2000, for Ins appearance, a few days hence before a Justice for an investigation of the affair. His understood that Mr. Etep committed the act in cf ueience. II mis nl.e w, re truly glad to find on our vi.it lo Lawrenceburph last week, that our old friend Jesse Hunt, has returned to bis old siand in thai place- It is a t'reat relief to a wprv j ,' j ..."jautu mum and body, to find a hospitable landlord, and e hope the temporary disrepute into w nicn that establishment had fallen unrl-r i i i i . i.e temporary occupant, will not nrPj. nu,lc BnX agamt the owner and pre- j sent occupant The Nert iiocernor. In another column we copy two articles from our exchange papers relative to the next canvass for Governor. It would seem they prefer ( S. Orth. We allow no one to exceed twin love of the man. or admiration of his talent ard his principles. And we freely and fully endorse all that our breih iren have said of him. While others are naming prominent men, suitable Tor ihe office of Governor, we would respectfully name Col. JOHNSON WATTS of Dearborn Connty. He is a farmer, honest and industrious. He recet' f -; !:or:orahIe scars in defence of bis country. He has fmhfully and ably served his constituents in a Legislative rapacity. He is not an office-seeker nor are we a t vised that he has ever dreamed of be. a Governor. nor. But he is one of those r x - t I faiihtul, hone;--., piam, practical men, such as we need. Pari- Pitching. We learn that exten sive facilities are offered at Alton, Illi . for packing pork. There appears to be a spirited controversy raging between Alion nd St. Louts as to which place shall take the lead in this important branch of business. The Telegraph, after slating, that Ht. Louis exports 12.000,030 pouuds of bacon and pork onnualJy, daimj that Alton expor'ed last year nearly 5,000.000 pounds and that it was included with that of oiher products from above that point as a part of the St. Louis trade.. TheSt. Joseph Valley Register say that Judee Sample will not allow his name used a a ca i-Jtdate for Governor, in any i event.

Complexion of the next Congress, It will, of course, be satisfactory to onr readers to know the political complexion of the next Congress of the United States. The Daily Commercial has therefore compiled the following from late political papets. Vacancies, h appears, are to be filled in the Senate by New Hampshire, Virginia, Indiana, Misstsippi, and Tennessee and their Legislatures, are of the same party. So that the fnll Senate will probably comprise 24 Whigs and 30 Democrats making 6 majority. There are 6 vacancies in the House, viz: four from Mississippi, one from Florida.

and one (to fill vacancies) from each of the States of Louisiana. New Hampshire, and Massachusetts Four Democrats will be elected in Mississippi, it is thought, and one in Louisiana, and one in Florida. Leaving New Hampshire and Massac husettsont, and they do net seem likely to elect, the House will contain according to the tables in the Journal of Commerce, 133 Democrats, 78 Whigs, 6 Natives total 222. Majority over Whigs and Natives 54. It is also stated that of the members of the last House who voted against Gen. McKay's bill to reduce the Tariff nf 1842, forty-five are re-elected; of those who voted for it 57. Mansion House. Dining our late visit to Cincinnati we tairied with Mr. Kelsey of the Mansion Home, near the Canal, and formerly kept by Mr. Henrie. It is an excellent home for the traveller. The ac commodations are good the rooms and beds sweet and clean the table rather too inviting, and the landlord, assistants, and servants attentive and polite and there is a good leave off. in the shape of reasonable bills. Georgia Election. The Augusta Chronicle of Saturday has returns, official and reported, from sixty-seven counties, which show a gain of about 2S00 voles in favor of Governor Crawford over the vote for President last year. There are twenty-six counties to hear from, which will probably increase the gain. There can therefore be no doubt of the success of Governor Crawford by a handsome majority say from 1000 to 1500 votes. It is supposed that the Legislature, on joint ballot. wll likewise be Whig. The Chronicle says that the Senate will probably stand 22 Whigs to 25 Democrats, which will give the latter a majority of three in that body. In the House, the prospect is that there will be a Whig majority orsix to eight. Roxgeism. The German Catholics of Cincinnati have caueht the ipfnrm r,l which now rages in their Vaterland. and I have thown off their spii imal ami temporal allegiance to the Pope and Hierarchy. Drow.xed. We understand, says the Cin. Atlas, that a worthy young man, who has been for some time past supplying the lower part, of the city wi th milk, was drowned in Millcreek a day or two since. What renders the case more distressing is, that he was engaged to be married the next day, or the day after, to a lovely and interesting young woman. We have not heard the particulars of this melancholy event. Ohio Election. The Fall election for Ohio was held on Tuesday of last week, and has resulted in the election of a whis Legislature by a large majority. The fol- ! lowing we copy from the Cm. Gazette of ' " October 0th T, el glorious victory! We have now: A " n,S Governor! A Whig Senate!! A Whig House of Representatives!!! A Whig Auditor ef Slate!!!! A Whig Treasurer'.!!!! A Whig Secretary of State!!!!!! A Whig Board of Public Works!!!!!!! May wo not rejoice at this result, under all the discourageing rirumstances attending the contest? The Treeman of Ohio have thus expressed their decided opposition to the hard money and repeal doctrines of the Loeofocos. The annexed table gives the returns as far as heard. The Whig column cannot be diminished, but may be increased. SemaTe. Hocse Whig. Iaco. Wliig. Loco. 21 14 44 25 Medina. Whig by 150!

Who, that has been deprived of a sister, can reflect upon the closing scenes of her mortal existence, without the deenest sor row and sadness of heart? A month , perhaps a short week since; and she was among the living; there was the same cheerful countenance; the s? me joyous spirit; the same care and thought for the interest of those whose happy lot it was to enjoy her society. But she is gone, and how sad the change! The returning brother will meet no more her welcome smile. He visits the home of his childhood with a heavy heart. He approaches the mresnoid, and looks upon stranger's coon tenance; he listens, and a stranger's voice falls upon his ear. He fancies, for once that it is all a dream; he passes from chamber to chamber, seeking in vain for the de parted one. She is not there! Oh! what agony fUs his breast! what melancholy is resting upon ins spirit! His once happy nome nas now no charms, no comforts, no allurements lor hint. ;'This is the desert, this the solitude: The vale funeral, the sad cypress gloom." it may be an index of a week mind fin the opinion of some) to weep on such an occasion; but weeping is the readiest te ller to a heart too full for utterance. Flow forth afresh my tears." To him who is still the recipient of a sister's kinkness and attention; a share in her sympathies, her love, and affections, these thoughts may seem idle and visionary; but they are sad, sober truths, and : mourning brother, one who has been ' 1 V. ft. . . uruugni to leei too Keenly the pangs of .imi.ii r.;...i.. -"vnu .;. ui uisfir unci nun, cannot doubt their reality.

Introduction and Progress of iLethod- . ism in southeastern Indiana. No, IV. Having noticed the early settlement of the coilr.try, the stale of society, and the pioneer rntluence of the Baptists, I will now pursue my main design, to give an account of the doings of the Methodists. Not having the information whkh I hope to receive concerning the introduction of Methodism in Clark's grant, which was its early cradle, I will treat, in the present number, concerning its introduction in the White Water conntry, and patts contig uous. When I came to White Water in the fall of 1804, there were only two men on it, so far as I know, who had ever been Methodists, and tbese'werc, Mr 'James Cole and Mr. Benjamin M'Cariy. In the rail of IS05, or winter of IS06, another man by then arse of Enoch Smith came, and lived on my father's farm. Cole was an illiterate, excitable man, who frequently involved himself and others in unpleasant collis ions, wnicn more tban once procured his expulsion from the Church; but, upon the whole, I think.be meant well, for when convinced of his faults, he would repent and reform, and try the good old way again. M'Carty bad keen an extorter or local preacher in Tennessee, from whence he came, but he was originally a Virginian. He settled on White Water in the summer of 1803, bur as there was no Methodist society in his vicinity, and as he was rather fallen from his religious enjoyments, he did not exercise bis gifts as a religions teacher, for some time after he came to the country. He was a respectable man, of good common sense, with a moderate share of literary acquirements. He afterward became a local preacher of medium talents, and for several years occupied a seat on the bench of the county court of i rauKiiu county, as one ol the judges. He lived a number of years, as a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and an approved local preacher; but from some small differences or opinion and practice from his Cburcb, be withdrew, and connected himself with the United Brethren, in which communion he died a few years since. Smith was sincerely attached to me onnrcti oi i.is choice, but not very zealous. HlS Wife, however. ' a mnat A. voted and pious woman, who was one of the main pillars in the Church after its formation. These persons, with a few others, met together and drew up and sent a memorial, or petition, to the Western conference, or to John Sale, of precious memory, who was presiding elder on the Ohio district in said conference; which then embraced the llolston, Cumberland, Kentucky, Ohio, and Natchez districts. The Ohio district then embraced all the settled country in Ohio east of the Great Miami, and two circuits in western Virginia. In their petition, they asked for a regular traveling preacher to be sent to them to preach and form societies. After the petition had been sent on, Mr. M'Cariy commenced preaching in ditierent parts of the neighborhood, and the people began to learn something of Methodist doctrines, but nothing of the economy and usages of Methodism, as there were no societies formed, and of course no class meetings, and other kindred institutions of the Church. In March. 1S0G, John Sale, the presiding elder on the Ohio district, sent Joseph Oglesby (now Dr Ogleeby, of Madi.son, la., from the'Little Kanawha circuit, to form a new circuit west of the Great Miami, to be called White Water circuit. Brother Oglesby, in a short communication, drawn up in a hurry for my U6e, 6ays, he was sent from Marietta circuit; but as I find no circuit of that name on the Min utes at that time, I suppose Marietta formed a part of the circuit before named; and as be probably set out from Marietta, his ntind would be impressed that that was the name ot the circuit. Brother Osrlesbv writes to me, that he commenced his la bors at the house of Moses Crume, (who will bo more particularly noticed in these sketches.) who was a local preacher that moved nrst from Virginia to Kentucky and from Kentucky to Butler county. O. and settled on Cotton Run, a few miles north of Hamilton, the county town of But ler comity, then called Fort Hamilton doubtless after that distinguished slates' man, Alexander Hamilton. A few miles from Crume's, lived a substantial farmer by the name of John Gray, on ur Mile f..Hnl. r -1 . . . .. .. . vcc, lour miies irom Hamilton. Urotner Oglesby went there to hunt a oreachinj? place, but Mr. Gray was not at home. aire, uray consented that there might be preacning at night; ror although she and her husband were not religious, yet they Lad been used to Methodist preaching in the State of Delaware,, from whence they came When Mr. Gray came home in the afternoon, and learned the arrangement wmcn ms wire and the preacher Lad made, he was much disconcerted, as it would conflict with some business arrangement wdico ne tiao made. He, however, was a man oi too much good feeling and taste to treat his wife and the preacher rudely, and concluded what could not be cured must be endured, and be determined, as he naa.iost ms sleep the night before, to co to bed and sleep. The word, however, kept nim awake, and reached bis heart, so as to awaken him thoroughly trt Kfaniaa nf nin danger; and he became the warm friend of me preaching and preacher, and bis house reiuamea iod 's temple to the day of his death; and Lis Woods, and nnclnrpo and cribs, were freely used many years for the 01 camP and quarterly meetings nen i traveled Oxford Pimui ;mu fall or ioiy, and the summer of 1820, brother gave me in detail, what I have stated briefly. Brother Oirlesbv nhtainorl anoth er place to preach at, not far from the oth er two just named, and also another southwest from the former, on Indian creek, ibis last he obtained with some difficulty; but soon formed a ed to flourish for a long time. He then went to the house of a Presbyterian genucuian. oy me name of Richardoon, who, 1ST t K U I a" 1 a.. - . ' -uuunHBiiiy, treated bim kindly, but he was unable to form a class. He then directed bis Course Somewhat nnrtW.1 wi ne leu on tieneral JFayne's old road from Hamilton to Fort Wayne, which seemed still fresh and plain. This he pursued till he came to a Mr. Taylor's, in whose vicinity several families then lived; who were called Newlights. He says, they had shouting times, but he could not form a class. Near this place, he fell tin an In dian trace, which led him to Indiana, to me rveniucny settlement which I have before described, in the now county of WawnA t T I ..... . I tieieae oreicnea at tne nouse of a Mr. Cox, on Elkhorn, a tributary of me East Fork of White Water, where he formed a small society. The society was mall of necessity; for there were but few people living there; and, as I stated before, a large share of them belonged to the Baptist church. The next preaching place was at Mr. M'Carty 's, more than forty miles istant, down White Water. Why he pas-i sed the Carolina settlement without preaching, I know not, onltss he conld not ob

tain a preaching place. Mr. M'Carty'. house was near the bank of the river, about seven miles above itsentrar.ee into the State of Ohio. At this place he formed a flourishing society, which remained many years, being afterward temoved to Mr Richard Manwa-rring's, a little farther down lhe;river. Mr. Manwarring joined the Church at an advanced period of life but became a steady, established member' who kept the preachers and preaching a long time. He afterward moved some short distance above Brookville, and died in a good old age. having been the kind husband of four wives. It was in his house the writer of these numbers found the Lord. But more of this in some future number. From M'Carty's, lie went about eleven miles down the river to the house of a Mr. Thomas, where another society was formed. It remained at Thomas' for some time, but was subsequently moved to the house of abrother Thomas Williams; and after a meeting-house was built in

biizaoetntown, it was moved thither. From thence he went lo the house ef one Hays, (the given name I do not know,) in the Big Bottom, between where Elizabethtown now is and Lawrenceburg, and formed a socie ly which remained at different private houses many years; but aftei the houses for preaching were built at Elizabethtown and Hardingsburg, part of the society went to the one, and part to the other, so that the preaching and society at private houses, between the places named were discontinued. He also preached at Lawrenceburg, the county town of Dearborn county, la. This town had been laid out in 1802, and had been settled by a very heterogeneous mass from different parts of the world. Religion made slow progress here for sometime. The widow Sparks, who has lived in and near Lawrenceburg more than thirty-nine years, thinks there was no class formed there in 180G;but the few members about there went to class at a brother Finley'e, near Hardinsburg. From Lawrenceburg, the preacher started north, up the Miami, preaching at 6ome places on the east, as well as the west side of the river, until he arrived at the place of beginning. This wilderness field of labor, this pioneer preacher traveled once in four weeks, until the time to start to the Western conference, which was held that year at Ebenezer, (I suppose a meeting-house of this name,) on the Nollichnckie, in ihe Slate of Tennessee, September 15th, 1806. By looking at the Minutes of the conferences for that year, it will be found lhat this indefatigable man. in the sparse settlements through which he traveled, collected into Church fellowship sixty-seven members in the six months which he traveled in this region. The societies then formed constituted the hives out of which many thousands have sineeswarmed. Manyofthem are safely lodged in heaven.but many still remain in thisand other partsof the earth. Districts, circuits, and stations not a few, have been formed out of the territory then known as the White Water circuit. Several things then combined to induce many lo attend the preaching. A Methodist circuit rider, as the traveling preachers was then called, was a new thing among us Indianians, for hoosiers was then unknown among us, as it should be so still. The person and the endowments of the preacher was also causes of attracting attention. Although thirty-nine years have rolled away since, I still have a vivid recollection of the man, and his manners then. He was a tall, slender young man, in the prime and vigor of life. His hair, which was inclined to be fair, was clipped short from the forehead about half way to the crown, and the remainder turned back, and suffered to grow eight or ten inches long, so as to reach down to the shoulders, about which it hung loosely and gracefully. His voice was stentorian, forming a full bass, but nothing in it harsh or grating to the nerves of the hearers; and having a great command of words, he poured forth his thoughts and feelings with great volubility and zeal; and being prayerful and pious, the Lord owned and blessed his labors. Although I was not religious at the time, and not even inclined that way, yet the voice and manner of the man greatly excited my emotions, but in no degree operated on my mora! feelings. I well remember his last seimonin our neighborhood, delivered from a stand in the woods. He chose for his text, the words of Abraham's servant, to Rebecca and her friends. "If ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me, and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right (hand, or to the left." This brother still lives, and retains, in a great measure, his bodily strength, and his wonderful voice, and yet preaches with zeal and energy. O, that his sun may decline in smiles, and bring a pleasing night. ALLEN WILEY. Brookville, la., September 16, 1843. The Mormon War Adjourned, We extract the following in a St. Louis Republican extra of Saturday. Warsaw. Oct 2J, 1845. Messrs. Editors. "Mormon war. No. 7," stands adjourned until "next Spring." by order of the powers that be that is, by the united voice of eight of the surrounding counties. Provided, that no just cause of complaint shall be given before that time if so the war is to be renewed forthwith. and "carried into Africa." I wrote you last evening that a conven tion of delegates from the adjoining counties was in session at Cartbage, for the purpose of permanently settling the quest tion, whether the old citizens of Hancock co., should remain in the county, or whether the Mormons should it having lone since been determined that both could not remain. The convention adjourned this evening, after unanimously agreeing that the Mormons could not nor should not remain longer than next Spring. "This is the word with the bark on it," Jack Mormon demagogues to the contrary notwithi standing. The committee that was ap. pointed by the convention to receive affidavits and procure reliable testimony of Mormon outrages, presented a large amount of facts, satisfactorily authenticated. many of which I presume will be publish ed with the proceedings of the convention.
