The returns received of the elections held on Tuesday indicate republican vic tories in all the States where they occurred. It appears that the republicans have not only held their majorities of former yeni s in the popular vote, but have increased them. This is more than was expected or claimed by the republican committees and canvassers. Just how the result w ill be on members of Congress, we cannot yet definitely conclude. Some of the doubtful districts have returned republi cans, while in a few instances disorgan izes have succeeded in overthrowing the ticket, but upon the whole the issue is favorable. It was granted before elec tion that in the muddle created by Reve nue Reformers, independents, malcon tents and open bolters, there would be a loss to the republican side, but the re turns are not of that complexion. It is settled by these elections that the repub lican majority in Congress will continue to be about what it is now, and that re publican measures will still prevail in the government of the country. Most grati fying must be the endorsement which is thus sent up by the people of the acts and policy of the Administration and Congress. The opposition has made every effort in its power to overthrow the republican party, not only by bringing out its own positive strength, but by encouraging and organizing all the disaffected elements among republicans into active efforts to destroy the party. But the decision is against the democracy. The honest vot ers are not with them. Their past course is remembered against them, and though they plead ever so eloquently to be en trusted with power, and denounce ever so bitterly republican management, they have no influence upon the popular mind. Be side, the Administration has rendered the best evidence of its fidelity, wisdom and economy, in the reduction of the public debt and taxation which it has effected, and in the general prosperity which its foreign and democratic policy hM'e aided to establishfacts which all can see and understand. With these before them, the people feel that the affairs ot the govern ment are in safe hands and there is no de sire to change. This is the verdict of the elections thus far. The prospects of the Republicans in Missouri under all the difficulties which be set them are reported to be good. The designs of the bolters are exposed in a late letter of the Chairman of the State Republican Committee which says: “The fact is, the bolt was planned and predetermined long before the convention by as unprincipletfa set of political gam blers as ever disgraced the annals of par ties, and nothing could have restrained the determination to break down the Ail ministration and the Republican party of the State. Restoration of suffrage to late rebels and a change of Governor were only subterfuges to cover latent purposes having in view the establishment of a new party to contend for power in the next national election, and break down the Ad ministration of General Grant. There was a little “scene” at a Mormon conference in Salt Lake City on Saturday. Brigham Young offered to resign his place as trustee of the Mormon Church in favor of a young man. But Young is a shrewd politician. One of his adherents immedi ately declared that the motion to precede that of accepting his resignation was one that the Mormon chief be sustained. Of course the great and faithful congregation voted to sustain him with enthusiasm, lie then resigned the trusteeship and the pres idency of the perpetual fund, alleging as the cause that he wanted to travel among the saints, and that he was getting old, and did not, want to be harassed with law suits threatened by apostates. He was very bitter against the courts and said he was determined to resist every encroach ment and persecution. His counsellors, Smith and Wells, resigned their offices to travel with him. The difficulty between Mr. Tilton of the N. York Independant and Her. Mr. Fulton of Boston, began in this wise. Some time ago Mr. Tilton received a letter purporting to have been written by the Hev. Mr. Tilton, in quiring whether Mr. Tilton really drank a glass of wine or not at a certain time. To this letter Mr. Tilton replied through the Brooklyn Union, to the effect that there ia no donbt he did drink the glass of wine referred to, and farther more, that the “hot gospeller" meaning Mr. Fulton, had himself been track ed one Sunday evening from Bowery, where he drank lager beer like a trooper. It is said that the letter to Tilton was a forgery, and that the answer was w ithout foundation. At any rate a libel suit seems to be in progress and both gentlemen will liavc all the notoriety in connection with the matter they desire. It seems according to the Madrid news papers, that there is a doubt about the statement of the Spanish Ministry recent ly made, that the abolition of Slavery has been enforced or even announced officially in Cuba. One of the papers demands the publication of the official telegram re ported to have been received, though it says the report may have been framed possibly with a view to an early meeting of the Madrid abolitionists. It also adds that measures have been taken to expose the Ministerial fraud. The Pacific Kailroad has been the death of the Panama Route to California. The market value of the latter is less than half what it was a year ago. The fleet of steamers is not wanted, and the Panama Railroad waits for business. Should the Darien Canal business succeed the Pacific Railroad will in turn become pinched. So wags the world of business, sometimes enterprises float on the top wave of pros perity, and sometimes they go down un der adverse circumstances. POLITICAL. A. S. Colyer publishes a card withdrawing from the canvass for Governor of Tennessee. He has heard General Brown speak, says they agree on the same points, and consequently there is no use for him to run. At a Congressional nominating convention in the Third District, composed in part of East Tennessee counties, a Col. Coombs spoke as follows, the report appearing in his own party paper: “I am not a Republican. I am not a Rad ical. I thank God for it. I am a rebel, and I am proud of it. (Applause.) A Conserva tive is a man that is on the fence. I repeat, that 1 am no Radical, no Republican, I am no Conservative, I am a Rebel-Democrat! (Ap plause.) If anybody wants to make anything out of that, let them hump themselves. I am not afraid to say where I stand.” Mr. N. G. Taylor has announced himself as an independent republican candidate for Congress in the First Tennessee district. A negro named Alfred McKinney is also an nounced as a candidate on that ticket. This all in Roderick Random Butler's district. There are now five candidates for Con gressional honors in the Fifth district of Illi nois—E. C. Ingersoll and Governor Baker, of Peoria; Benj. H. Brown, of the town of Weller, Henry county; F. B. Ives and B. N. Stevens, of Bureau county. Ingersoll. Ba ker and Brown are republicans. To Oakey Hall’s letter to General Pleas anton in relation to General Woodford. Pleas anton replies ns follows: To I/is Honor A. Oakey IIai.l, Dear Sir Your letter dated Manhattan Club, Oct. 4, was only received at my office to-day, during my absence. You propose to try certain charges you have made against the character of General Woodford before a private tribunal. I have no authority to constitute a private tribunal to try either his or your personal character af fected by those charges. You made the charges in public, appealing to the people of the State as the tribunal to try them. Gen. Woodford has since oflered, in his speech at Albany, to submit the question of their truth to the arbitrament of the peo ple, if his opposing candidate would assume the responsibility of making or supporting them in a public discussion. I think he is right, and that any answer he does make should be before that popular tribunal to which you at first resorted, and from which his accusers should not now be allowed to withdraw. Very respectfully your obedient servant. A. Pleasanton. Ktv l'ork, Oct. 7. WAR SPLINTERS. An agitation has commenced in North Ger many for the abrogation of the fifth clause in the treaty of I’rague, which stipulates for the annexation of North Schleswig to Denmark. The French ladies resident in New York, together with a number of American ladies, have organized a plan for a '“National Ba zaar,” or fair, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the relief of the wounded and of other victims of the terrible war now rag ing in France. Admiral Lefevrc, commander of the French fleet in the Antilles and in North America de nies that he has sought to establish a species of blockade in American waters. The vessels of his division, it is officially known, harbor ed in New York, only because of damage by the storm, to which they had been exposed. This is the sole reason for their detention on this coast. Inside Baris everything remains quiet, and the city looks much as usual. The govern ment distributes food, practicing economy very closely, and water is easily obtained by digging wells. Cannonading is kept up con tinually along the western side of the city, and a successful defence is confidently antici pated. The Kolntsche Zeitung reports that during some negotiations in reference to capitula tion Marshal Bazaine stated that he defended the fortress and maintained the army for the Emperor, and that he knew nothing whatever of the republican government. The Staatsanzeiger says that Bazainc’s pro tracted defenee at Mentz is largely due to po litical motives; that the Marshal deems it his duty to preserve the army for the future gov ernment of France. When invested, he had 22,000 horses, but little forage; hence his sorties for forage for the cavalry and battery horses. Active hostilities in France are again trans i ferred to the region of the Vosges. The lines I of investment about Mets have been tighten ed lately, resulting in fresh efforts on the part of Bazaine to break away. In every instance his efforts have been foiled. A Brussels journal recommends all Catho lics to sign petitions to their respective gov ernments calling on them not to recognize what has taken place in Italy, and to issue a combined manifesto against the annexation of Borne. It is stated from Berlin that there are 650, 000 German troops now in France, divided into twenty-one army corps, and almost wholly consisting of soldiers of tho line. There are three other corps under arms in Germany. On the 5lh of October there w as much can nonading around 1’aris. The enemy, under the cover of a thick fog, endeavored to make movements, but was defeated by the sharp watch kept by the forts. The enemy w ere dislodged from Bengival and other villages by shells. On the other side of the city skir mishes took place, but no engagement. The l’avs rays there are still many spies in l’aris who manage to convey information to the en emy. GENERAL NE IDS’. George J. Washington, a colored pedestrian of Boston, accomplished the feat of walking 30 hours without cessation upon n plank nine feet long and one foot wide. All the conterfeit notes and plates captured by the Government detectives, and now in the Treasury Department, are to be destroyed next week, by order of Secretary Boutwell. In looking over past weather records it is found that a snow storm extended through out New England of considerable severity on the fifth of October 183*5. It has been decided that the provisions of the law furnishing artificial limbs to soldiers or money for them, are personal to the soldier uml do not extend to his heirs in case of death before receiving the benefit thereof. The Italian Government has formally de nied any design looking to the reannexation of Nice and Savoy. The result ot the l’lebiseitum in the Roman States is officially published as follows For Italian unity, 13.805; against, 1.567: majori ty, 11,858. Chiu. C. Edwins, the clerk in the Treasur er’s Bureau, who abstracted some §3,000 or §0,000 which Treasurer Spinner had to make good out of his own funds, is in jail awaiting trial. It appears his right name is Charles E. Cady, and that he has a wife and daughter in Binghamton N. V. The disastrous floods in Virginia arc fol lowed hy the news of heavy floods in Austra lia again, with reports of a very destructive earthquake in the old shaky Italian district of Calabria, and of the breaking out again of a long extinct volcano in Southern California. From the fifteenth to the twenty-third day of tlie Jewish month of Tishri the Jews all over the world celebrate Succoth, the Feast of the Tabernacles. This corresponds, for the present year, with the days from the 10th to the 18th of October, being nine days. The Board of Managers of the Connecticut State Temperance Association met in New Haven on Saturday, and resolved to procure lecturers to canvass the State, in the interest of temperance this winter, and to issue ad dresses to the Roman Catholics of the State on the subject. Alvan Bronson of Ausonia Ct., committed suicide Sunday night at Milford, by shooting himself with a pistol. It is believed that lie is the man who murdered Mr. Fenn of the former place, and he lias frequently been heard to say that he had a great secret which would die with him. A Siberian bloodhound kept by a man of wealth on Staten Island, attacked two women and wounded one so that there is no hope of her recovery and mangled the other fearfully. A religions young man at New Hartford, Iowa, recently attempted to moderate the views of an orthodox clergyman of that city by appearing outside his bedroom habited in the supposed costume of His Satanic Majesty. The clergyman, being a practical man, seized a good thick stick and laid it on the back of the enthusiast until he was forced to call aloud for mercy. The latest reports from the Indian agencies are eminently peaceful in tone. The Indi ans are said to be unusually amicably inclined. Spotted Tail remains quietly at the Whetstone Agency, smoking his pipe and eating his ra tions, and they all declare their intention to eschew robbery and murder so long as the annuities are regularly delivered and Colonel Parker—who appears to have found favor in the eyes of the scalp-lifting Sioux—continues to control their affairs. THE HALLO WELL HERDER. To the Editor of the Journa In your issue of Monday last, was an article copied from the Portland Press, in relation to the recent homicide in this city, which I think should not be suffered to pass unnoticed. In asmuch as Mr. lloswell is soon to be tried for his life before a jury to be selected from citizens of this county, who are supposed to be habitual readers ol newspapers. I can but regard the publication of such articles as the one in question, as exceedingly unjust and improper. However guilty this man may be, he is certainly entitled to a fair trial before an impartial, unbiased jury. Experience has shown that in homicidal cases which Bhoek the public sense and create excitement, it is difficult to obtain a jury of strictly and purely impartial men, and in many States the law provides for a change of venire to some other county than that in which the alleged offence w as committed, in order to make certain the selection of unbiased juries. In our State the law seeks to guard against this danger by excluding all jurors lrom the panned who cannot first swear upon their oaths that they are unbiased, and have neither formed or expressed an opinion in the case, and when the jury has been constituted of men thus sworn, so jealous is the law of the effect of influences upon them, other than the evidence lawfully introduced in the trial, that the jury is placed in charge of a sworn officer and not permitted to separate by day or night during the continuance of the trial, nor to communicate with other persons. How will it be possible to obtain a jury in this county that will be sincerely and truly unbiased if our newspapers persist in publish ing such articles as that from the I’rcss That article not only declares this case to be “one of the most aggravated description, the mur derer of I.nflin and the would-be murderer of his wife appearing to have no occasion for jealousy,” but it assumes to condemn the ver dict in the Sickles case and all others that have followed it in similar cases since; calls the plea of insanity a legal fiction, and virtu ally demands the conviction of lloswell with out regard to the evidence that may be ad duced upon the trial. “We trust that Maine will become entitled to the credit of breaking down this most dangerous and irrational practice. Without seeking to inquire who this modern Colossus may he, who assumes such a stock of legal lore and so flippantly overturns the verdict of jurors, the opinions of Judges, and learning of the medical profession, i wish to ask if you think it is just and proper to lay an argument and appeal tor conviction before men who are to constitute the jury to try Iloswcll? Why, if a copy of that article were to be passed to a juryman after bcinn sworn upon the pannel, it would vitiate the whole trial and subject the person who gave it to him to se vere punishment. Is it not equally violative of the spirit of the law, of the principle of justice upon which it is based, to pass it to them beforehand? This article trom the Press is not the first one of partial and unjust char acter that has been spread before this commu nity ill regard to this case. There may be some apology for the appearance of such com ments as were made under excitement, soon after the occurrence of the homicide; but now as there lias been time for reflection, and the time for the trial of the accused is fast ap proaching, there can be. it seems to me, no reasonable excuse for such proceedings; but if publishers of papers will persist in such a coarse, 1 know of no way to prevent it. It seems to me, however, that it this case must be tried through the colums of the pub lie press, the least that publishers can do is to give a hearing to both sides. It is bad enough to force the trial of the accused be fore such a tribunal, but it would be mons trous to deny him a hearing and condemn him without an opportunity to make a defence. So far as I know but one version of this sad affair has yet been made public—and that the version given by one alleged to be a party to an adulterous intercourse that led to this bloody tragedy. From what I know of the facts in this case, I am led to believe that when the evidence is produced t»i Court it will appear that in taking the life of Mr. Haflin, lloswcll did not act upon groundless suspicions but upon potitire knowledge; and in behalf of common justice 1 ask a suspen sion public judgment upon the case until all the facts are presented in a legal and proper manner. Hut the writer in the Press seems to think it makes no difference whether the deceased has been guilty of adultery with Hoswcll's wife or not, for lie distinctly condemns the verdict, in the Sickles ease, as well as all of those of the same class which have followed, notwithstanding the fact that adulterous intercourse between Key and Sickles’ wife, was fully established by the written admission of Mrs. Sickles herself, so that in fact he de nounces the adoption of the legal principle that libertines and adulterers pursue their hellish designs upon the daughters and wives of their neighbors and gratify their w icked lusts to their hearts' content, with perfect im punity—at least so far as any danger of ven geance from tile liands of dishonored and out raged husbands and tattlers are concerned. Practically it is a demand that adulterers and debauchees shall have free course and be glorified in the gratification of their un hallowed lusts. Doubtless every libertine and adulterer in tile land will shout “amen" to the demands of the Press, but 1 am inclined to think there are some “old fashioned people” left yet who believe in the duty of preserving the sac-red ness of marital relations, the purity of the wives and daughters, and the precious sweet ness of homes hallowed by affections, and who will still think there is justice as well as truth in the declaration of Holy Writ, that “jealousy is the rage of man.” Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. JusriTiA. Hallowell, Oet. 12, 1870. A S.VAHT SCOCXDRFL A man giving liis name as Kev. James S. Green, was arrested in Middleville, Ct., on Friday, nndbrought to Boston on Saturday to be sent to Indiana for trial for forgery. The Boston papers say that Green, who has also been known as Kev. M. M. Cumniiston, is a native of New York State, and a japanner by trade, and when arrested had charge of thirty men in that work in Cambridge. lie first brought himself to the notice of officers about tour years ago when living in the small town of Middleville. Ct.. where lie was known as Kev. M. M. Cumniiston, and pastor ol a Meth odist society of that town. While there bis first wife appeared upon the scene and found him living with a second. In some way she obtained money from him, so that be became pecuniarily involved to the amount of about St',Oil. Shortly afterwards the parsonage in which he was living was burned, and lie and liis wife, according to their representations, escaped only with what little clothing they could don. He also claimed to have lost Sl’OO in money by tile fire, liis little tlock had their sympathies aroused, raised money enougli to re-clothe them and make good the Sl’UO. Immediately afterwards they disap peared, and nothing was known of them till lately. Some time afterwards a lot of bag gage which had been lying in the depot un claimed for a long time was advertised for sale, and upon being opened was found to be the household goods and clothing of the miss ing minister, which he claimed to have had burned. The next known of him was in Greensburg, Indiana, where he was settled as pastor of the Baptist church, as Kev. James S. Green. He was very popular and obtained the confidence of many of the best men in the place, and borrowed of them quite large sums of money on his personal note, which they indorsed, lie pretended to own large property in Baltimore, where lie should shortly go and sell it and with the proceeds take up the notes which were deposited in the hank in Greensburg. Ho left ostensibly for that purpose, and returned with four notes of $41170 each, all signed by Wilson K. Cox, and dated Baltimore, July It), 1*70, and run ning one, two, three and four years. These were deposited finally in the bank in Greens burg. He left the place as soon after as pos sible, and the notes were found to be forgeries and it was also discovered that lie never owned property in Baltimore, and that the whole story was a complete humbug. 11c probably came to Boston, but did not get off at the Boston and Albany depot, where de tectives were on the watch for him in response to a telegram that he was seen on the train at Albany. Baggage belonging to him was traced to a house in Cambridge street, but lie eluded the officers, and lie was finally found to be living in Cambridge. When the officers went there they found lie had gone to Con necticut, and they finally arrested him in Middleville, as stated. He is a fine, 6mart looking man of about fit) years, and a good talker. He is said to have had four wives. He admits the whole thing. Domestic Kites. The committee appointed to locate the Maine Classical School, met in Portland last Tuesday and finally decided to locate the school at Auburn. Yarmouth offered build ings and lot worth $20,000, stock in the Canal Bank, Portland, worth $2400, and a subscrip tion of $10,337 total $38,737.

Some our traders who do not advertise looked blank on seeing Frank K'nsmnn’s ad vertisement yesterday. The rain of yesterday and last night wa* very thankfully received by individuals with dry wells and empty cisterns. The proprie tors of paper mills will appreciate this favor. A little attention to the sidewalk on the south side of Bridge street, between Water and State streets, may save expense to the city and prevent limbs from being broken. Mr. J. C. Boynton has just returned from the Aroostook with some fine specimens of corn and potatoes raised in that future para dise for Maine farmers. The corn is per fectly ripe, and the potatoes of large size. We understand that French’s freight train was thrown off the track yesterday, near old Dresden Station, and several cars thrown down the embankment and badly smashed,— The passenger train was delayed nearly two hours. We do not learn that any one was injured.

The Smyrna Emery Mills at Hath which have been compelled to suspend operations the past few weeks on account of the drouth> have not as yet started work. The Superin tendent, Mr. Lcmont, informs the Times that the large reservor on the premises only re ceived about 4000 gallons of water from the last rain and as this amount would only run the mill for a few days, they have concluded to wait until water is a more pleatiful com modity. “Justitia,” in our columns this morning, asks the public to suspend judgment in the case of Laflin’s murderer, and very properly condemns whatever may have appeared in newspapers calculated to forestall, prejudice or confuse public opinion concerning him. We have sedulously refrained from publishing anything of the kind. The unhappy man is to be tried in a court of justice,on the law and evidence,—not in the newspaper on simple ru mors and unsupported assertion. Thathetook the life of another is beyond question it is fur a jnry of bis peers to pronounce the de gree of bis guilt.

There was a social gathering at the dinner table of one of our citizens who spreads a good table, of sev eral notable individuals, besides the immedi ate relatives of the family extending hospitali ties. A lady who came late expected to see a much loved but long absent relative. Coming in suddenly, and glancing at a bald-headed gentlemah. whose face was turned from her. and thinking it was the form and general ap pearance of her dear friend, rushed towards him, threw her arms about his neck and gave him an immense hug of affection, which was about to be followed with a smack, when the lady and the whole company discovered that instead of being her very dear friend, it was a venerable individual, a bachelor, of modest demeanor,with whom she had no previous ac quaintance. and who was greatly astonished at the affectionate but abrupt salutation. The scene created considerable merriment, which was pleasantly received on all hands. t.ardlnrr Items. The new high school building is rapidly ap proaching completion.

Among the blessings that called for rejoic ing and praise in the meeting yesterday morn ing, was the copious rain that came down in grateful showers on the thirsty and dusty earth.

The report states that as no systematic efforts have hitherto been put forth for gathering Sabbath School statistics, they have been able only to take preliminary mcasutes lor the work. From circulars of inquiry sent out to the schools they had received but 420 answers, about one-third of the schools. Total num ber of scholars in these schools, 33,415; scholars in infant classes 0031; scholars in bible classes, 10,240; number of teachers. 3555 average attendance of teachers, 2589 average attendance of scholars, 20,490; num ber of teachers who are church members, 2930; number of scholars who are church members, 7359; conversions in 207 schools. 1743. In 53 of the churches reported there are no Sabbath Schools, from various causes. There are 03 Union Sabbath Schools. The committee recommend teachers' meetings as a good means of peeping up an interest in the schools also the cooperation of churches and Sabbath Schools—old and young, parents and children monthly concerts, which should not be allowed to degenerate into sensational exhibitions quarterly and yearly meetings uniform lessons; Sabbath afternoon to be given to the Sabbath School; mission schools the temperance pledge and all the helps to the cause. The reading of the report was followed by remarks from Rev. 1). M. Graham, 1). l).,of Chicago, who proceeded to answer the ques tion. how is the world to be converted, and und peopled with good men and women? When we think of the “good time coming,” we should remember that it is to be brought about by the efforts of the church and the Sab bath school. The church is to do the great work of bringing the world to God, and the Sabbath school is the most powerful instru mentality that can be used. Referred to con versions in the schools as cause of great joy. We must get rid of “starch.” and go into the work without gloves, and with sleeves rolled up. Rev. Ur. Ricker, pastor of the Baptist church in this city, was called upon, and con gratulated the brethren in the progress that had been made in the denomination since his boyhood, lie remembered that in the town of l’arsonsfield John Buzzell was the origina tor of the first seminary of learning that came under the auspices of the denomination. At that time there were but few sabbath schools, lie blessed God for the progress that had been made in the line of education, in training the ministry, and in other matters, which had been as marked as any other de nomination in the land. lie cherished the hope and expectation that the time will come when the great Baptist family will become one in organization and in name as they are now really one in spirit. Rev. Mr. Ball of New York city, followed in interesting remarks on the same subject. The following report of the committee on resolutions was submitted: Resolved, That we deem it necessary that every Sunday School shall have uniform les son. Resolved, That we recommend the adoption of the National series of Sunday School les sons. Resolved, That it is expedient for all our schools to devote the entire time of the re ligious services on Sabbath afternoon to the Sunday School. Resolved, That it would he an invaluable help and encouragement to the Sunday School cause, and the means of its farther extension and usefulness if the Morning Star and Chris tian-Freeman should devote one or more col umns to an exegesis of the lesson recom mended. Resolutions recommending importance of working in Sabbath schools, and referring matter of exchanging books to executive com mittee. The first resolution was amended by sub stituting the word “desirable” for“nccessary.” The second resolution was discussed with earnestness and vigor, mixed with humor, and the following substituted Resolved, That we recommend to the special attention of our ministers and Sabbath School superintendents and teachers, the series of Sabbath School lessons published in the Na tional Sabbath School Teacher. the American Sabbath School Worker, the Mimpriss Sys tem of Graded Sabbath School Lessons, and to other examples of uniform exercises, as a means of making the work of our Sabbath more attractive and efficient. The fourth resolution was rejected, and the remaining resolutions adopted. The meeting then adjourned. Evening. The anniversary of the Ilome Mission So ciety was held in the evening, the X’resident, Itev. J. L. Sinclair, in the chair. After singing, prayer was offered by Itev. Mr. Boyd. The Treasurer, Itev. Silas Curtis of Con cord, N. li. reported receipts for the year, at $10,517.45, expenditures 810,087.20, leaving a balance of 8230.25. Permanent fund in vested, 82,393, the interest of which can only be expended. These figures only embrace New ICngland and New York. All the con tributions from the West go into another treasury. The report was accepted. Itev. G. II. Ball, I). 1). of New York city, Corresponding Secretary of the Society, made a very interesting report of operations for the pnst year. Funds have improved, there has been more interest in church exten sion than ever before. We must christianize our growing population. With religious de nominations in this age, not to grow is to die. We should foster and plant churches where they will give the denomination influence. I he foreign Mission cause depend* upon church extension and Christian activity at home. Prosperity in home Missions ensures the carrying forward of the work in the for eign field. By making aggressions upon the world we shall show that our faith is hot dead. We shall be useful according as we are diligent. Our geographical position de mands that we be faithful. Our 70,000 mem bers are scattered all over the country many of them need some little assistance in plant ing churches. The society has received con tributions from 200 churches and 302 yearly meetings; something has been done for the freedmen. Several churches in important positions have been helped. The report from Vermont is very cheering. New life has been infused everywhere. Hun down church es have been revived. There have been re vivals in many churches. The labors of Kev. J. S. Manning in the Southwest, and of Kev. I). G. Holmes in the West, have been great ly blesseu. Twenty new meeting houses have been built the past year. The close communion sentiment is (lying out, and the great body of Baptists will soon meet on the ground now occupied by us. Young men are giving them selves in large numbers to the ministry. The report was accepted. Kev. I- B. Tasker of Vermont, was the first speaker on the topics brought forward in the report. He spoke of the past history of the denomination. The fathers had work which the young men find it hard to perform. There are difficulties increasing upon us, which arc in a measure met by the Missiona ry Society. But fields of activity have been spread before us faster than we could culti vate them. He thought the Missionary Soci ety the agency for doing the work of the de nomination. It was organized thirty-six years ago, and is now extending in every di rection. He approved of able men lor mis sionary agents, and missionary committees. The next speaker was llev. A. II. Merrill, who has labored in the mission fields of the South, and is now on his way to Harper’s Ferry to engage in the work. He made a touching appeal for aid in that hopeful part of the country, and related interesting inci dents of his experience among the freedmen. The mission in the .Shenandoah valley is es pecially- hopeful and prosperous, but more la borers and money are wanted. Kev. Dr. Ball made a stirring appeal. He thought the minister should not confine bis labors to his own parish, hut go out in mis sionary work, in the true evangelizing spirit. How few take an interest in this society and how much work is to be done. A collection was then taken up for the so ciety, amounting to $44, alter which a few remarks were made by Anna Dudley, who has been laboring for five years in the Shen andoah valley. The meeting then adjourned. The following is the programme for this, the closing day: Thursday, Oct. 13.—Social meeting at A. M. Temperance Convention at 10, A. M. Speakers: Kev. E. A.

Heavy Guns gone forward from Rouges. Tours. Tours, Oct. if*. The government is fully satisfied with the good faith of Gen. Bour baki. Messengers sent to Orleans yesterday where the battle was going on, report the French in much smaller force than the Prus sians, and were literally crushed by their superior artillery and driven back into the suburbs of the town. Some barricades had been erected there, and our forces took ad vantage of the shelter thus afforded. The Papal Zouaves and Mobiles behaved most courageously, but the regular troops fled al most at the first fire. None of the regular troops made much resistance and many threw away their arms in flight. The Prussians opened fire on the town after the French defeat, and owing to the barricades many fires occurred. The rail way depot was destroyed in this way as well as many other large establishments. At last accounts the people of Lyons were flying in all directions. At a late hour last night the Prussians had pushed soutii to Beaugency and Mcung, beyond Orleans. It is feared the Papal Zouaves will be surround ed and captured. The other French troops in that neighbor hood are in good position and heavy rein forcements were sent forward to them during the night. It is reported some heavy guns have also gone forward from Bouges. The French troops at Beaugency and Mcung arc excellent. They arc composed mostly of National Guard and Mobiles, and are deter mined to resist to the last. In view of urgency of the case Garibaldi left Tours this morning for the field.

Head Lettuce.—It is said that heads of lettuce can be produced in winter in from twenty-four to forty-eight hours by taking a box filled with rich earth, in which one-third part of slacked lime has been mixed, and watering the earth with lukewarm water; then take the seed which has been previously softened by soaking in brandy twenty-four hours, and sow in the usual way. We are assured, but will not vouch for the fact, that a good-sized head of lettuce may be obtained in the time mentioned.—Harpers' Magazine.

I propose to give evidence that this Remedy is not a patent medicine. The objection which gener ally lies against all discoveries and invention* in medicine is “publicity.” If somebody should dis cover a remedy to prolong life, or an infallible o tre lor cholera or consumption, what a monster would he be to withhold his knowledge! We have yet to learn from what chapter or verse in Scripture to quote, “that may not heal others of their fellow men of auy disease.” Nor have we asked Pickwicks, affected prudes, or, in short, men who are possessed of every kind of sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin ions but their own. The Buchu is* a good tiling. It has hundreds of thousands of living witnesses to attest its virtues and commend it. It is the preju dice of bigots and the envy of “Quacks.”

Cure of Kidney and Bladder Affection of a Patient seventy-eight years of age. THANKS TO MR. HELMBOLD. Girard, Pa., March 31,1809. Editor Cosmopolite:—I desire, as an unsolici ted tribute to the merits of Hklmhold’s Bugiip, and for the benefit of those similarly afflicted as myself, to say that alter consulting many eminent physicians ami tryingnearly all Lite best advertised remedies, m the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated kidney and bladder diseases, from which I have suffered excessively for many years, good fortune finally suggested to me Hf.lmrold's BUCirr, which I commenced using with little faith, and no apparent beneficial effects for about a month. At the expiration of that time, however, 1 thought I commenced to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to persevere in its use. and now at the expiration of four months, although I i am an infirm old man, nearly seventy-eight years of age, and consequently medicines cannot be ex pected to iavorably affect me as they otherwise would, 1 have found such unspeakable reliet and permanent benefit from Mr. Ilelinbold’s valuable discovery, that I feel I ought to publicly record the fact, as an acknow ledgment to him, and a valuable suggestion to the public.

I would say 1 have used and sold the article in various forms for the past thirty years. 1 do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have nut used, or known to be used, in the various diseases where such medical patent would be indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder mid kidneys, and (he reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts. 1 have seen and used, as before suited, every form of lluchu—the powdered leaves, tincture fluid ex tracts—and 1 uni not cognizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years’ experience ought, I think, to give me the right to judge of its merits, and, without prejudice or par tiality, 1 give you precedence over all others. 1 value your lluchu for its effect oa patients. 1 have cure'll with it, and seen cured with it. more: diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have ever seen cured with any other buchu or any other proprietary compouud of whatever name.
