Bit sad indeed is the prospect around you. Darren rocks, and fruitless fig trees are near!) all that you see. But those trees sre venerable for age. It would probably be hazardous to express an opinion of their age, et it is almost impossible to read the nanatives of the apostles and not feel that these venerable olive ttees were companions of him who often repaired U this sacred mount with Lis disciples. Next in interest, if it is possible to compare things so absorbing as these, is Gethsemane, the garden of the Savior's passion.

M lhe mysterious inclosure of liie li t- em rem, and the lofty dome of the mosque , 4 Gen I thought o, U-e- aays when a. around , maxemeSfrlao b bri dea. a.e r a wHiert, an I oi l Abra-; 5 Eich bfj d of ham, after tnree daysV.ourneytng, stood . o vohmts btf cha d ttjlh . upon the spot upon which was gazing, ..: i.,"ru -,.- f ril,
with his only son Isaac, bound imuri a j . . nf,Ha . ,.a ' ' '
ruie alter of bis own construction, and rea ly to plunge the fatal knife to his daring's heart, bocause God thus com nandei. The bush in which the ram, that redeemed bis son, was caiilt8' bad ages ;o disappeared, and the Iinb, of God's own providing, haJ, near that same spot, leen offered up as an atonement for sin. There too, in the days of Solomon's glory, the most splendid superstructure cter leared hy man, grew up wiihoit the sound of a htmmer, so well skilled w as the crafit lo whose plumb and level the well wrought fabiic owed its symmetry. Tao subsequent temples of less dir.ien-
. oris and splendor, had been vocal with the praises of the Almighty, u i th;ri, as f to mocknd insult the Cod cf- Heaven, alltiv.ai Eir.peri-r erected on the iiiins t"f the last, a. teit.p'.e to Jupiter Capitolit".s, with an image of a hog engiaten 'ter the gate that leads lo Bethlehem, as i lasting insult to the degraded Jev, and '.."spised and rejected Trinity, who had here displayed so many unequvocal cli'H of supreme power aid authority.
But like all the triumphs of Rome, this
is of short duration. Rome fell tinder the invading barbarians of lhe north and ie Roman province of Judea fell a preyto the bloody march of Mohammedanism, mJ at a very early dale the costly temi le f Jupnor gave place to the Mosque f Omar, which now seems to bid defiance ' i all the world. For ages its mysiei ions enclosure has been known only to Mussul-
:ajn except in the case of Mr. Gatherwood above alluded to. Il is, next to the celebrated mosque at. Mecca, where is the tomb of the prophet, the most visited i f all Mohammedan temples. Here, at any time, may be seen wtetched pilgrims,
who have performed -wearisome journies ua foot, from the most distant regions, to
tiain of th army ai the chiefs of the general staff may have ready to send forward.
6. Lrery man ofjhe divisions w ill lake two days' subsistence in his ha,vresack. This w ill be lhe general rule for all marches when a greater number of rations is not specially mentioned. 7. As the seaon is f.ear when the army may no longer expect to deiire supplies from Vera Cru2, it must begin to look exclusively othe resources of the
country. 8. Those far from being over-abuti lani r.eac the line of" operation-, would soon fail to suppoil oth lhe army and the pop
ulation, uns-s they be gathered in without waste, and regularly issued ; quur-term.-.r.ters and cormissaries. 9 Hence they must be paid for, or the people will withhold, conceal, or destroy them. Th'! people moreover must he
con iliated, soothed. or well tieated by' every ofucer and man of, this army, and by all its followers. 10. Accordingly, whosoever, maltreats unoffending Mexicans, takes without pay
or wantonly destroys their property, of kind whatsoever, il! prolong the w ar, waste the means, present and future, of subsisting our iw a men and animals as they successively advance into the intelior or return to our water depot, and no aimycan possibly drag after it to any considerable distance, no matter what
