THE STA'HAUK. TIIl'Il-DAY, OCTOBER. S, is.:tr.

Col. Leum anov.sk v tie, ha- recent I v made a visit to our village and on Sabbath evening last, addressed a large and lug Iv respecta: audience, consisting ot the peop.e of the village, the oil'icers and students of the College, and several strangers, now on a visit to this r;;Ce. It is doubtless well known that Cel. L. is a minister of the Gosnel. in connexion with the Evanelic-il Lutheran church, and as such was re- I ., i i - . i .-i - i i conndence and christian regard ol his brethren in , " , , , 2 Tim. 4: f-8, he interest the audience with a i brief narrative of Lis life. From his statement, h ! , . , ! appears tiiat ne was in tae army ot Aapoieon t.-om ; '04 to the down-f.dl of the.

At the battle of Waterloo out of four Aids-de-ca:np, he was the only survivor; in the issue, he was imprisoned and condemned to be shot by the French: escaped from the prison, La Force, at the peril ot' his life; lied to Hamburgh, thence to Piemen, and after many liair breadth escapes, and remarkable deliverances, embarked on board a small schooner, for America, where after a perilous shipwreck, he arrived in debt for 60 of his passage, without a cent of money, not able to speak a word of English, and not knowing an individual in the country, lie met friends, however, bv whose assistance he mastered oui hinguage, and prepared himself tor the ministry. lie became a memoer ot tne Lutheran cr:i;rc;i in j Poland, at the age of 10, and as was before stated, I lie is now connected with the Evangelical Lutheran church, in this country. j In. Col. L. farmed a church of German em- j igrants to this country in tne city ol ashmgton. : Through his insti utr.entality, a church was erec- j tel. ar.d bv him money has been collected in or- ! dcr to defray the expenses. It seems that about ft 1000 are now due. and unless this amount is soon raised to relieve this feeble church from its embarrassments, the house of worship must be sacrificed to liquidate the debt, lie made a modest appeal to the audience, and though we have so many calls for money, and so much need of it here, a contribution of upwards of Cj was taken up. Col. L. then gave notice that he expected to be here again in the course of about six weeks, when lie would address us on the subject of Romanism, lie pro f sses an intimate acquaintance with the genius of Popish institution, and Topi.-li policy: having n iti Spain when Foti.iparto showed himself a recreant Catholic, by his not very pacific and still loss reverent visit to the Spanish Impiis Itlon.

A e attetnpted last week, to show some ofthe inexplicable diliiculties which environ the new j school philosophy of free agency, and human ac- ( countabihty. Some think the vieu-s u-r i.iontine ed, are not less free from difficulties. This is verypossible. How man can be dependent, in any sense whatever, and yet accountable, cannot be fully explained; at least, all the systems of human philosophy ever yet devised with this intent, have only served to hide the ditiicnliies. for a short time and not to explain them. This is especially true, I with respect to the distinction between moral an! ! natural inability; in;!es-s indeed moral inability is sen as synonimous wi It tniiht indeed, be : i plenary rtmhty. ateful to human pride lo at relates to this subject: lie anle to e: d uu ai but it would have been of no practical use, had it been explained in the i.ible. The bible teaches, that it is our duty to work out our own salvation; yet it is God, who worketh in us. both to will and to do, of his own good pleasure. It teaches, that it is the duty ofthe sinner, to come to the Saviour; yet, that no man can come, unless the Father draw him. Human ingenuity, has been taxed to the utmost, to reconcile these doctrines. Lut to do tais, the hible makes no attempt. Men inspired trom above, thought it suliicient, that we should I know that it was our duty to love and serve God, and that at the same time, we were entirely dependent upon sovereign grace. Some think, that preaching the doctrine of entire dependence, without discriminating between r.iitural an-1 moral inability, is calculated to destroy the sinner's sense of accountability. Tut is it worth our while to become wise, above what is written, in order to iind a foundation for moral obligation! We are aware, that sinners sometimes plead their inability to justify their course. Lut the plea, is insincere; they know that they have sinned willingly, and are blame-worthy. Although they may prove by reasoning the most conclusive, t h tney are not accountable, yet it is impossil I for thetn to believe it. God has established in every man, a moral sense, which makes him feel that certain courses of conduct are blamo-wortln . Every man's conscience unites with the Libie, in declaring man's accountability. When this innate principle becomes so seared by iniquity, th .i the sinner looses all sense of guilt, it is a bootless tusk to attempt to convince him by reasoning.; This original principle of our nature, is the foun dation ot all our lueas oi guilt. Fy no courto oi reasoning can it be proved, that it is our duty to love our Creator and benefactor. I bis was a matter too momentous to be h it with la'iible reason. God has, therefore, established in every man's bosom, a moral principle to determine this point, analogous to, and as infuhble as our bodily senses. When aOnncr becomes entirely lost to the influence of this principle, as profitable were it to discourse with the blind man, on the beauties of a landscape, as with him on the moral turpitude of his character. It is said that thi old fashioned way of preach ing will do no good; for so long as the sinner feels that he can do nothing, he will make no efforts. J.ut is this so! Dees not the sinner now feel able to r tim epeut and determined to do so tit some luture '! It is this determination, w hich liko a deceplivi and de.-eilv opiate, itnis tne sinner into sei e e i .. i - . c euros, 'A s : a i i i i 1 1 1 g on 1. 1 1 e ineaiving verge m ruin, hut when le- is made to fee', that n itlier now een- at a fniur" time will lie be able to change r;.e:. -.r even willing to have it changed, o.

Many disasters and deaths are to be charged to ardent spirit. Once at .midnight, I was roused by the cry of fire. Thc flames were bursting from my brother's office, ing house were consumed. It ami the adjoiuThe chimney of the nouse fell, and buried many persons under it. Some sutfered for months four were kilh spot, and three died shortly after, fr d cti the m thcir wounds. The origin of this fire was never luilv known. Hut my own mind is satisfied that it was in the follow ing way. In these days of whiskey, a barrel ofthe poison was kept in the back office. The night previous, the key ofthe front door was stolen. Some lover of drink, as I believe, crept to the barrel, and by some accident communicated tire to the spirit, or some other object. Certain it is, that the lire commenced in the corner where that unworthy barrel stood. Thus I am 'persuaded, were brought about the indiscrihabh; horrors of that dreadful night. Valuable property was consumed, seven lives were destroyed, much pain of body and anguish of mind iniheted, which it required many months to heal. Cth. Ardent spirit, often brings upon its victims the most violent and shocking death. I have known many, who were either drowned frozen or bullied to death. Fut I will mention one or two particular cases. There was poor Iri.-h Jemmy, whose end was dreadful indeed. In time of high water he stepped o'f a bridge into a mill race, where he was fou nd s; and ing erect next morninsr, with a thin crust of ice around his head. One night, at the cry of fire, I was among the first at the burning house. It was a small d welling, occupied by an aged and intemperate couple. Thev i i i t-t . ti siept in tne uacii room, irom which the oid man endeavored to escape. Tut he was arrested by the liaim s, in passing through the lront room: and I saw him prostrate on the floor, with his jug in his hand. We saw him move, but could not snatch him from the fiaines. It was an awful spectacle. The old lady, it is mppos-ed, was too much intoxicated to get from her bed for on the spot where it had stood, her bones were found. Oh dreadful end of a revolutionary sol. iier and his wife! Till. The use of strong drink leads to the commission of ninny crimes. I will mention one or two cases o. murder, committed under the influence of ardent spirit. A young man came to the mill ol Mr.S. 1 he latter in a violent rage, excited by no ill-treatment, but by madeniiig liquor, seiz ed a hand-spike and murdered this uno(fendin; youth, whose mangled body was carried to his agonized parents. The murderer was sent to the penitentiary for eighteen years.

The occasion was dissatisfaction in the populace with the arrangements at a bull light, the entertainment not answering the announcement in the hand bil.s.

There are nearly 300 friars in the castle of 3Ionjuiek, and as many more in the citadel and Afaranza birracks. The greater part of the Franciscan friars made their escape throuch a sewer which leads from the convent to tiiesea. and were received by the military stationed at the barracks which I have just mentioned. The town is now somewhat tranquil, but will not, I fear, long continue so, as the garrison is very weak. Tarragona, Ileuss, and other towns, were the theatre of similar atrocities. Gerona, whose inhabitants, though not Carlists, are greatly attached to the clergy, was expecting every moment to be visited by a band of miscreant s. GERMANY". Hud at Hamburgh and attack o,i thc Jews. IlA.-iinure.iT, Au2. 1 . This town has been again the scene of one ofthe most barbarous attacks upon the Jews that has ever been witnessed. On Thursday night last, at nine o'clock, about .r0 persons fell upon 6 or Jews in the Al.uer Hallo, (a public resort,) and forcibly thrust them out. .Next day no notice being taken of it bv the authorities, 40 respectable young men of the Jewish persuasion determined upon employing force against force, and went in the evening to tiie Alster iiaile, atid forced a vou-i r in in out of the billiard-room. This v. the signal for a gener.il attack. Th.-s s e 40 young men had to conf nd against more than rufilans, until the military and police arrived and put an end to the a'i'rav. Saturday evening the same scenes occurred, by turning the Jews out ot the marquees, and demanding from them four times the amount ofthe regular charge for refreshments. The rabble also demolished the windows of about twenty houses inhabited by Jews, and committed other excesses. Sunday followed in the same way. Monday went oil' pretty quiet the Jews remained within their houses, out of the reach or their brutal assailants. Capital Trial Conviction of Abraham Prcscalt.

He alarmed the mother of Mr. Cochran and stated that ! he believed he had done some injury, snid that he arose iu his sleep and did the deed: ali'ected sorj row therelor, iVc. ecc. j These facts were published at the 'i;ne, and pasI sed oil' as a remaikable case of v-omnani! u'i-m.' 1 Prescott continue ! to live in the family, and on ; Sunday, June '23, with a stake, in a retired part ot I a field, not a great distance from the house, smote j down and killed Mrs. Cochran, young and beatitiful, the mother oftwo children, the pride of her husband, a loved member of a rural neighborhood

into the field, and never entertained thc least suspicion of any kind against I'jescott, hearing a moaning sound proceed from the back building went and found P. seated upon the sill in the shed door, who said he had "killed Sallv in th b,Wr

he, d" that he had the tooth-ache, sat down upon a stump; something came over him, and when .te nad recovered, found he harl L-i!!f,l A.fr r I-ceased had expressed a wish, it seems, about 9 o ciock, to step into an aijacent field and pick strawberries. Prisoner (Mrs. C. being engaged in the kitchen) went to Mr. C. and informed him to that etlect; but he being engaged as above stated. declined, and Prtscott, against whum neither C. nor wife suspected aught, accompanied her; and is supjosed, ottered her violence iu a retired part ofthe field. No house was in sight; it was a retired place, and yet a female might have gone as far us she did, without shadowing her own character. or being thought wanting in perception, not sooner to have suspected prisoner's motive. The body was dragged 3 or 4 rods, by the hear!, into some bushes, and there found about ten o'clock, '"V the astonished and weeping neighbors. .Messrs. Wyman, ofthe Insane Hospital, Char'.estown, Mr. Cutter, of Peppcrell, and a gen tieman connected with the Worcester Hospital, were present and examined at much length.

Ye have hern in the habit cf receiving Ly almost every mail, letters from Post Masters, requesting ns to discontinue certain pepers; informing us that the persons to whom they are sent, have moved away, oi subscribed but for a year, or refuse them, without a reason assigned. Heretofore we have been able to bear such losses aid dic--ppoint-men's with some coturtire. as the names thus erased from cur list have hern outnumbered by uao sriuscrilfrs. We have however been very much pained within a few weeks past, at having been requested to discontinue the papers of a considerable number of our earliest and best subscribers, in the Cincinnati Presbytery, generally, not always, assigning as a reason, that they wish to take a paper ofthe same kind about to be published in Cincinnati. Now, on this subject, we have had but one opinion. The West cannot support two old school patters at present, it has not as yet sustained one. The present crisis in the church demands union, not a disunion of the ranks. The Standard is just beginning to live, after having been an expense to the original publishers of several thousand dollars. Shall it die? If we lose as many subscribers as are necessary to support another publication, (for few will take two) it must die. In making these remarks, we do not censure the proposed Editors of the Presbyterian Advocate. We have been assured by one and another of them, that they do not wish the Standard to fail; that they do not expect their paper to interfere with ours. We only differ with them in opinion, and the results already realised, prove that we are not mistaken. Our arrangements are now such that more time than heretofore will be devoted to writing, selecting and procuring communications. Wo will horeafier make it "more attentive to those events, and movements and expressions of sentiment, which 'ndicato th" real attitude of tho church, and the probable design of our adversa ries, i ;n janitors ol tne Advocate have pieugea themselves that, should they fail in their under'aking, they will contribute to the columns of tha Standard, and endeavor to promote its circulation. Others have gi ven the same pledge, and are beginning to act. Yvre will, therefore, propose to such as have asked to discontinue, as follows: We will continue to send them the Standard free of charg.i until it is asce; tainedi whether the Advocate goon or not. If it does we will erase their names mini tteiy if not, we will consider them as subfcrihers until we hear from tlKin again. This metlnl was suggested hy one ot principal Iviitors ot t:ia proposed Prreby terian Advocate. PULLIC SALE. rWfHRTY or forty valuhblp BlTI.Dl FO TS, pin.
