A dangerous infernal machine has been discov-
ered at Columbus. Ridges of newly disturbed 
earth were observed and traced to a cavern in 
the bluff, where were found implements similar 
to those used in a telegraph office. with wires 
running in a dozen different directions. Again 
following the raised rows of earth a spot where 
something had evidently been buried was come 
to, and in digging down five feet an iron cask 
three feet high by a foot and a half in diameter, 
in shape like a pear, was found. It had an iron 
cap fastened with eight screwsAnd on being op-
ened revealed a quantity of grape, canister, and 
four 8-pound shells, surrounded by about two 
b ishels of coarse powder. To the botton of the 
cask was affixed a battery,with a wire leading to 
the cavern spoken of. 
The correspondent of the Chicago Times says 
a dozen of these iron pots or casks were thus 
united with this cavern. Half a dozen of these 
caverns have been found, and probably seventy-
five or a hundred of these infernal machines are 
thus buried in the earth, some distance from the 
enemy's works ; and the time to be exploded 
would be when our infantry had driven them in-
side their works, a sentinel would give the ope-
rator inside the cavern the signal, and he would 
send the electricity through all the wires and de-
camp. The result' may be imagined. Whole regi-

THE ADVENT- HERALD. 
prophet had not apprehended their meaning. And 
though he was aware of words spoken, the first that 
he distinguished may have been the enquiry, 
"How long shall be the vision ?" 
The holy one who makes this enquiry,is, undoubt-
edly, Gabriel ; for when Daniel sought for the mean-
ing„ he heard a voice, saying, (v. 16,) "Gabriel, 
make this man to understand the vision." Gabriel, 
therefore, was the one whom Daniel heard enquir-
ing about the duration of the events symbolized : 
"which things the angels desire to look into," 1 
Pet. 1: 12. 
Who, then, is the "Holy One" of whom Gabriel 
makes inquiry ? In the phrase, He "said unto that 
co lain which spake"—the word saint being sup- 
plied—the word "certain" is, in the Hebrew, Pal-
moni ; which appears to be a title, or epithet ap- 
plied to the One enquired of, and not His proper 
name. This term occurs in no other place in the 
Scriptures ; though a similar one Peloni, occurs in 
Ruth 4:1: "Ho such a one turn aside." Stuart 
regards it as expressive of a particular individual 
whose name is unknown, and therefore equivalent 
to our English phrase, "a certain person." The 
margin gives, "The Numberer of Secrets, or, The 
Wonderful Numberer," as its meaning ; for which 
rendering Mr. Barnes thinks there is no foundation. 
Those who thus render it, derive the word from po-
lo, wonderful or secret, and manah, to number,— 
applying it to Christ, the great depositary and re- 
vealer of secrets. Where it is said "Unto us a child 
is born," &c. Isa. 9:6,7, one of the names by which 
he was to be called is "Wonderful." When Manoah 
asked the Angel of the Lord his name, the reply 
was, "Why askest thou after my name, seeing it is 
Secret," or as in the margin "Wonderful," Jud. 
13:18. And when Manoah knew that he was an 
Angel of the Lord, he said unto his wife, "Weshall 
surely die, because we have seen God." v. 22. The 
same Person doubtless, was the One whom Daniel 
saw in vision, as recorded in the 10th chapter ; who 
was "clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with 
fine gold of Uphaz : his body also was like the beryl 
and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his 
eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like 
in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words 
like tlfe voice of a multitude," Dan. 10:5, 6. 
and who, according to v. 21, is called Michael the 
Prince. The same Personage is refered to in Dan. 
12: 7, as "clothed in linen," of whom another en- 
quires, "How long shall it be to the end of these 
wonders ?" v. 6. And the One thus seen is evi-
dently Him whom John saw, when he beheld "in 
the midst of the seven candlesticks One like unto the 
Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the 
foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle," 
Rev. 1:13. 
It was Christ, then, who was before Abraham,—
the "Word" that "was in the beginning with God" 
and that "was God," of whom Gabriel made enqui- 
ry, "How long shall be the vision ?" &c. ; or, as 
Whiting renders it, "Until when, the vision, the 
continual sacrifice, and the transgression of the de-
solator, to give both the sanctuary and the host to 
a trampling down," or, as Stuart gives as the sense, 
"until when, i. e. unto that time, how long ?" 
The "vision," which is the subject of enquiry, 
begins with the standing of the ram before the riv- 
er, before the Medo-Persian empire began to push 
either to the west, or north, or south ; and if the in- 
quiry had respect to the entire period covered by the 
vision, it must date from an epoch earlier than the 
conquest of Babylon, by Cyrus in B. C. 536. As 
that epoch, however, would date more than twenty 
three centuries in the past, the inference is that not 
the whole length of the vision is involved, but the 
continuance of certain specified events. 
Were the question simply, How long is to be the 
vision ? it would be an independent clause, the 
meaning of which could not be of doubtful import. 
Instead of this, the enquiry is evidently modified by 
what follows—the words in italics not being in the 
original ; so that we must look for the commencing 
epoch of the period given by the Wonderful Num-
berer,—not at the commencement of the events sym-
bolized, but at some prominent occurrence during 
its fulfillment. 
As the symbolic animals passed in vision before 
the prophet, he, it appears, was not the only spec-
tator, nor the only one "desiring to look into" their 
meaning. And what interested both Daniel and 
Gabriel, more than any other event then symboliz-
ed, must have been the acts of the "little horn,which 
waxed exceeding great," when it cast down to the 
ground some of the stars and of the hosts of heaven, 
stamped upon them, and even rose up against the 
Prince of the host, taking away the daily, and cast-
ing down the place of His sanctuary. Therefore it 
was that Gabriel enquired, and it was that symboli-
zation which gives significance to the enquiry, "How 
long—the vision—the daily, and the transgression 
of desolation, to gi IT both the sanctuary and host to 
be trodden under foot ?" And though the enquiry 
sap ; the sacraments, in the blood and water is• 
suing from his pierced side ? It is St, John 
Who of them makes us live with Jesus Christ, 
makes us know him intimately, so that our per-
sonal sympathies are excited by some trait of 
character that reveals the emotions,the struggles 
the sorrows of his soul—"Jesus wept"—or by 
some incident of domestic life that discovers the 
tender affections of his heart—"Disciple behold 
tby mother : woman behold thy son,"—or by a 
sublime prayer for all the people of God in all 
ages---"I pray not for these alone, but for all 
who shall believe on me ?" It is St, John. 
Let me add that the turn of mind which fitted 
John to become the Evangelist of the person of 
Christ, also helped to make him "the disciple 
whom Jesus loved." Was it not because John's 
eye was so intently fixed upon the person of Je-
sus, that Jesus honored him with an intimacy 
s o peculiar, that at the Last Supper he leaned 
upon the breast of hiP)Master, and was the one 
chosen by his companions to ask who was the 
traitor ? Was not this intimacy, which I admit 
had respect to the humanity rather than the glo-
rified person of Jesus, the pledge of a still more 
glorious friendship to which the same disciple 
should be admitted under the economy of the 
Spirit? And can we think of John, after an 
exile of more than seventy years, otherwise than 
as still leaning upon Jesus' breast, and with the 
confidence of the Universal Church, charged by 
her to draw from him by the power of love, the 
most hidden mysteries and the most celestial in-
spirations ? 
ADOLPH MONOD. 
Wait and see the End, 
If our eyes were always open to see the end as 
well as the beginning of troubles, we should find 
our experience similar to that of the merchant in 
the following story : 
"A merchant was one day returning from mar-
ket. He was on horseback, and behind him was 
a valise filled with money. The rain fell.with 
violence, and the good old man was wet to the 
skin. At this he was vexed, and murmured 
because God had given him such bad weather for 
 
his journey. He soon reached the borders of a 
thick forest. What was his terror on beholdin 
on one side of the road a robber, with levelled 
gun, aiming at him, and attempting to fire But 
 
the powder being wet by the rain, the gun did 
not go off, and the merchant giving spurs to hi 
horse, fortunately had time to escape. As soon 
 
as he found .himself safe he said to himself 
"How wrong was I not to endure the rain pa 
tiently as sent by Providence ! If the weather 
had been dry and fair I should not, probably, 
 
have been alive at this hour, and my little chil 
dren would have expected my return in vain 
The rain which caused me to murmur came at 
fortunate moment to save my life and preserve 
my property." It is thus with a multitude o 
our afflictions—by causing us slight and shor 
sufferings they preserve us from others far great 
er and of longer duration.

THE REBEL INDIANS. A correspondent of th 
Boston Journal speaks as follows of the Indian allie 
of the rebels at the battle of Pea Ridge : 
You will of course have heard of the fact tha 
the reb Is had some three thousand Indians unde 
the command of Albert Pike. Also, that som 
twenty of our men—who fell in the engagement un 
der Colonel Osterhaus on Friday and under Gen 
Davis on Saturday, and had the misfortune to b 
left on the field—were foully and fiendishly scalped 
murdered, ani robbed by these red-skinned wretch 
es. So far as the fighting was concerned, the Indi 
ans were not to be taken into account. Notwith 
 
standing the frantic excitement of Pike and other 
they could not be made to stand the fire of our me 
for more than a single round. Our artillery se 
them howling back as quickly as they made thei 
appearance in a body. It is related, and with so 
grounds, that these savages seized upon a quanti 
of whiskey belonging to the confederates on Frida 
and becoming furiously drunk began to fight amo 
themselves. The Arkansans were called upon 
quiet the riot, when a promiscuous and bloody ba 
tie ensued among the Indians and Arkansans, 
which several hundred must have been killed a 
wounded. The Indians, who have been so wick 
ly pressed into the service of insurrection, became 
scourge to their masters and a punishment to the 
selves."

as large an addition, as the generosity of donors 
shall open their hearts to give, towards making the 
A. M. Association an efficient instrumentality for 
good. 
Correspondents, on matters pertaimag solely to 
the office, should write " Office," on the envelope, 
to have their letters promptly attended to, if the 
editor be temporarily absent. 
To the Patrons of the Herald. 
For the successful prosecution of the work, for 
which the American Millennial Association was 
formed, funds are needed ; and fur the lack of these, 
the Association has not been able to do what it would 
have otherwise accomplished. The regular weekly 
issue of the Herald, also, is dependent on the gener-
osity of friends for a few hundred dollars, annually, 
over and above the amount received from subscribers. 
The whole receipts during the year now closing; 
have not paid expenses ; which will be embarrassing 
to the office, unless its friends supply the deficiency 
with their accustomed liberality. The promptness 
with which response was made two years since, tc 
remove the debt from the Association,encouraged the 
hope that future aid would be supplied with equal 
generosity. It is not pleasant to be obliged to re. 
mind friends of these necessities ; but it is still morn 
unpleasant to lack the adequate means for the Her. 
aid's publication. This is the season of the year, 
when, better perhaps than any other, it is easier tc 
obtain new subscribers, and to remit donations. 
Our treasury needs aid in both these directions ; and 
will not the friends see to it that it is supplied ! 
They would not wish us to abandon the Herald : 
but its weekly issue costs money, and it is not tlu 
policy of the Association to run into debt. We hays 
kept out thus far,but without more abundant week. 
ly remittances, this cannot continue. What is nova 
' wished for, is that every subscriber will endeavor tc 
forward the name of an additional one. And we al 
so wish to see a full column of Donations,each week 
till it 411 amount to $400 ; which was needec 
by January first. 
, Brethren and Sisters,shall this expectation be rea 
lined ? 
In 
r Exposition of Daniel's Prophecy. 
b 
CHAPTER VIII. 
(Continued from our last.) 
"Then I heard one saint speaking, and another 
saint said unto that certain saint * that spake, ilo 
! long shall he the vision concerning the daily sacri 
, fice, and the transgression of desolation, to give botl 
the sanctuary and the host to be trodden uncle 
foot?" v. 13. 
t 
c No sooner had the vision, recorded in the previ 
; ous portion of this chapter, passed before the eye ( 
- the prophet, than he heard a conversation betwee 
two super-human intelligences—one of whom is ef 
c dently the other's superior. In our rendering, the 
are alike denominated "saints" ; but in the origina: 
, as shown also in the marginal reading, there is 
. marked distinction ; and this is evident from thei 
discourse—the one soliciting and the other commi 
; nicating information. Thus Daniel heard one sair 
:
3 speaking,—or one holy one. The one speaking, 
it the saint of whom the other holy one makes enqu 
r ry ; but of what he was then speaking there is r 
e record. From what precedes and follows, it is pis 
Y bable he is unfolding to the other saint the meani r 
of the successive symbols shown in the vision ; fo 
r, 
,g subsequently, (v. 16,) he commands him to expla' 
;co the same to Daniel. The prophet may have been : 
t- absorbedin contemplation of the vision as not 
have been aware of the import of what was heir 
said ; which seems not to have been spoken to Da

id

a is required to explain the symbols, it is evident tl 
1- * The words here italicised are so marked to i 
in respect to the duration of the vision, may not be 
limited to the time of the Sanctuary's desecration, 
yet as the termination of that desecration, accord-
ing to the answer of the Wonderful Numberer in 
the verse following, is to mark the closing epoch of 
the period given, it is important to determine, as 
clearly as peacticable, what is to be understood by 
the treading down of the Sanctuary. 
In Daniel 9:26 it is predicted that after the cut-
ting off of the Messiah, "the people of the prince 
that shall come shall destroy the city and the Sanc-
tuary ;" and in v. 27, that "for the overspreading 
of Abominations" God shall make it desolate, even 
until the consummation, and that determined shall 
be poured upon the desolate ;" or, margin, on the 
"desolator.'' 
The word "Sanctuary" (koh-desk) in 9: 26, is the 
same as that in the passage under consideration ; 
and, as before remarked, it is clearly equivalent to 
the phrase, "the place of his Sanctuary, (mik-da-
hzh,)" in v. 11, which must include more than the 
temple. And, in 9:26, the koh-desh, (Sanctuary,) 
must include more than the "city ;" for it would be 
incongruous to say "the city and Sanctuary," if the 
latter term was equivalent to, or was included in 
the former. 
To preserve a knowledge of the true religion, God 
had selected the land of Palestine, had driven out 
from it the heathen,and had made it an aslylum, a 
refuge, or a Sanctuary for his people. Thus Moses 
said, (Ex. 15:17,) "Thou shalt bring them in, and 
plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in. 
the place, 0 Lord, which thou bast made for Thee 
to dwell in, in the sanctuary, (mik-dahsh,) 0 Lord, 
which thy hands have established." Palestine was 
a mountainous "land which the Lord thy God car-
eth for : the eyes of the Lord thy God are always 
upon it,from the beginning of the year even unto the. 
end of the year."—Deut. 11:12. To this asylum 
God conducted his people. "He brought them to 
the border of his sanctuary, (koh-desh,) even to this 
mountain which his right hand has purchased," 
Psa. 78:54. And then, by a metonymy, the place 
occupied being put for its occupants, the Psalmist 
says, "Judah was his Sanctuary, (koh-desh,) and 
Israel was his dominion," Psa. 114:2. 
This term, rendered sanctuary, is frequently ap-
plied to Jerusalem and the mountain on which that 
city was built. "They call themselves the holy 
(koh•desli, or sanctuary,) city," Isa 48: 2. "0 
Jerusalem, the holy, (koh-desh,) city," Ib. 52-1. 
"Them will I bring to my holy, (koh-desh,) moun-
tain." 56:7. "That forget my holy (koh-desh) moun-
tain," Th. 65:11. "My holy, (koh-desb,) moun-
tain Jerusalem," 66:20. "They shall not hurt nor 
destroy in all my holy, (koh-clesh,) mountain, saith 
the Lord," Ib. 65: 25. 
The term koh-desh, or sanctuary, being thus ex-
pressive of the holy mountain and its surroundings, 
it illustrates what our Saviour said, (Luke 21:14), 
that "Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gen-
tiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled ;" 
which must be this predicted treading down of the 
sanctuary. Our Lord also makes express reference 
to the predicted overspreading of abominations, when 
he said, (Matt. 24:15) "when ye therefore shall see 
the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Dan-
iel the prophet,standing in the holy,"—(Gr. hagios 
—which is the rendering in the septuagint of all the 
places where koh-desh occurs in the Hebrew,—) 
"place, (whoso readeth, let him understand,) then 
let them which he in Judea flee into the mountains." 
And that Jesus here refers to the Roman armies, 
which offered idolatrous homage to their eagles, is 
clear from the parallel reading in Luke, (21:20), 
"When ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with ar- 
mies,then know that the desolation thereof is nigh." 
The import of the angel's enquiry, then, is, How 
long shall be the period to the end of which Jerusa- 
lem, with its surroundings shall be trodden down of 
the Gentiles ? or, When will the times of the Gen-
tiles terminate ?

At the disaster in Pittfield Mass. in March 1862, 
in which Mrs. Barnes, an elderly lady of more than 
three score and ten years, was instantly crushed to 
death by the falling of the building in which she re-
sided, she was engaged at that moment in knitting, 
as unconcerned as any one could have been elsewhere, 
and a little girl by her side was singing the juvenile 
hymn, 
"There is a happy land, 
Far, far away ; 
Where saints in glory stand 
Bright, bright as day." 
And as she was singing the third verse, 
"Bright, in that happy land, 
Beams every eye; 
Kept by a Father's hand, 
Love cannot die : 
Oh then, to glory run, 
Be a crown and kingdom won," &c.

THE ADVEN r HERALD. 
The War. 
ing the morality of the Allies, we may suggest that 
very probably this solution of the difficulty was aid- 
ed by the consideration that the United States does 
not like the idea of a monarchy on its rear lot, and 
that it will soon have an army much the largest in 
the world, well disciplined, officered, and supplied, 
and quite out of a job. The news of the victory of 
Fort Donelson has crossed the Atlantic; it is regard-
ed as an important achievement, and American secu-
rities are higher. 
All the foreign relations of the United States are 
peaceful and friendly, `and unlikely to become other-
wise, so far as can be seen. 
There is a general disposition among the Chris-
tian subjects of the Sultan to rise against him ; and 
the recent insurrection in Greece is said to have been 
started by discontent at King Otho's purpose of not 
co-operating with these rebellious Turkish subjects. 
The most prominent movement in Turkey is at Van 
in Armenia, where the Armenian populace, enraged 
at a real or imputed insult to a Christian symbol, 
attacked the Turkish garrison, beat them, and took 
possession of the citadel. 
The Sumpter is still at Gibraltar, watched by 
American ships of war. 
The Prince of Wales is spending a month in 
Egypt. 
Germany is becoming more unquiet, an excite-
ment spreading through its many brother nationali-
ties in consequence of the enormous tyrannies by 
which Frederic William I., Elector of Hesse-Cassel, 
is enforcing the collection of his oppressive taxation. 
A general demand is growing louder and louder for 
permanent relief to the subjects of this crowned 
scoundrel. 
The Burnside expedition captured the town of 
Newborn N.Carolina,on Friday last after a desperate 
fight, in which our land forces distinguished them-
selves gloriously The last entrenchments were tak-
ken at the point of the bayonet ; the rebels flying in 
all directions. Owing to a dense fog the naval ves-
sels did not participate in the fight. The force of the 
enemy numbered about 8,000. After their defeat 
the rebels attempted to burn the town of Nedvbern, 
but were prevented by the citizens. Our forces cap-
tured a large number of cannon and a large quanti-
ty of military stores, which the Confederates left in 
their hasty flight. Our loss was only about one hun-
dred killed and four hundred and sixty-six wounded. 
TIIE CAPTURE OF NEWBERN. We find two or three 
additional items of interest in a dispatch to the New 
York Commercial : 
"The troops landed on the southern bank of the 
Neuse river,which at that point is quite a wide bay. 
The landing was, effected in admirable order at a 
point eighteen miles below Newbern, and near the 
line of the railroad, connecting Beaufort and New-
bern. Fort Mason is at the entrance of Beaufort 
harbor, and the possession of Newbern is virtually 
a cut off of the fort. 
"Newbern was deserted by its inhabitants, who 
fled before the advance of our troops. A soon as 
order w r3stored,and assurauco given and received 
that private property and personal rights would be 
respected, the people began slowly to return. The 
army behaved with propriety as became a conquer-
ing force. 
"The blow inflicted by General Burnside, follow-
ing so closely upon his success in the northern part 
of the sounds, has struck the people with consterna-
tion, and they begin to see and feel that the power 
of the federal army is not to be despised. 
"The contrabands welcome the troops, and many 
amusing incidents are related." 
The following is from the Express : 
"The troops landed under cover of the gunboats 
on the morning of the 13th, at Slocum's Creek, 
marched some twelve miles and bivouacked on the 
railroad. The gunboats went up the river and shell-
ed out the first battery, Fort Dixie. 
"The troops started again on the morning of the 
14th ; about five miles from Newbern they encoun-
tered the enemy behind the breastworks and batter-
ies over two miles long protecting the railroad. 
"The enemy's flank was turned by a gallant charge 
of the Massachusests 21st and the New York 51st, 
supported by the other regiments of the 2d and 3d 
brigades. 
"The gunboats continued up the river before the 
troops and shelled out in succession fort Thompson, 
Brown, Ellis and Lane. 
"The river was obstructed by sunken ships and 
chevaux-de-frise of iron-shod stakes. Torpedoes were 
also in the channel. 
"The fleet escaped almost without damage. 
"The rebels had scows filled with tar and turpen-
tine at Newbern, to go down the river and burn the 
fleet. When fired the tide failed to move them out 
into the stream. 
"Our troops crossed in small boats to the city,and 
took possession in the afternoon. 
roof,and instantly crushing the old lady, but leaving 
the little girl unharmed. She was truly 
"Kept by a Father's hand," 
snatched as it were from the very jaws of death. 
And yet she was no more "kept" than is each one 
of us continually, over whom watches a kind Prov-
idence,preserving us during each day ; and for which 
we should be ever thankful. 
The beautiful hymn, of which the above is a part, 
is a versification of Isa. 33: 17 ; "Thine eyes shall 
see the King in His beauty : they shall behold the 
land that is very far off;" which is addressed to 
such as are described in the previous verses (15 and 
16): "He that walketh righteously and speaketh up-
rightly,he that despiseth the gain of oppression,that 
shaketh his hand from holding of bribes,that stoppeth 
his ears from hearing of blood,and shutteth his eyes 
from seeing evil ; he shall dwell on high : his place 
of defense shall be the munition of rocks : bread 
shall be given him.; his waters shall be sure.'' "To 
such persons it is said, "Thine eyes shall see the 
King in his beauty : they shall behold the land that 
is very far off." 
What far' off land, then,was this which the right-
eous would behold ? Was it a fancied region, in dis-
tant space ?—or as sonic poets sing, 
"Beyond the bounds of time and space ?" 
Ncesuch locality is promised as the inheritance of 
the redeemed ; which is to be "under the whole heav-
en." "Blessed are the meek ; for they shall inherit 
the earth,"—not some distant world. Thou "hest 
redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kin-
. dred, and tongue, and people and nation, and hest 
made us unto our God kings and priests, and we 
shall reign on the earth,"—sang the redeemed, as 
shown in vision to John in Patmos. The far off land, 
then, was not "afar off" in space, but was distant 
in point of time,—it being the renewed earth which 
will be inherited by the children of the resurrection ; 
and though it was once afar off in the then distant 
future, it has now been brought nigh to us by the 
lapse of time, and by the purchase of Him whose 
last revealed message to His church was "Surely, I 
come quickly." It is when Ile comes that the land 
once afar off will be seen and enjoyed by all the 
redeemed, who then, standing in glory, will behold 
the King in Ilis,beauty,—their crown and kingdom 
being won. 
tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made 
them white in the blood of the lamb. Therefore are 
they before the throne of God, and serve Him day 
and night in His temple : and he that sitteth on the 
throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger 
no more, neither thirst any more : neither shall the 
sun light on them, nor any heat. For the lamb 
which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, 
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters : 
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes," 
Rev. 7 : 13-17. 
Helping one Another. 
Bro. Bliss :—A sister wishes me to send the en-
closed dollar to pay a six months subscription for 
the Herald, for bro. E. W. Mead, It gives me great 
pleasure to do so. I hope our good sisters, who can 
spare a dollar will keep a look out for those who 
cannot obtain the means to pay for the Herald and 
provide for them. 
Yours fraternally, 
J. P. Jr. 
Newburyport, March 21, 1862. 
This comes in a good time, and will prevent the 
discontinuance of our brother's paper at No.1088,as 
he expected—this donation paying for it to No. 
1114, or to the 1st of Oct. next. We hope exam-
ples of this kind may be frequent. 
Ackn owledgements. 
We are indebted to Bro. E. Bullock, one of the 
subscribers to the Advent Herald in East Liverpool 
Ohio, for the present of an elegant China Ice Pitch-
er inscribed in gilt letters with the names of the 
Donor and Donee on one side,and that of the Maker 
on the other. It is from the manufactory of W. 
Bloor of East Liverpool, "manufacturer of Porcelain 
and Parian China ;" and if this is a specimen of 
what can be made in that establishment, we see not 
why their wares may not rival those imported from 
abroad. Bro. Bullock the giver, whom we have nev-
er seen, has been a subscriber to the Herald only 
about a year ; and though he writes that he sends 
it "as a token of the esteem" in which he holds its 
editor, we prefer to regard it as evidence of the re-
gard he has for the paper and for the great doctrines, 
it inculcates with which he has been acquainted for 
a quarter of a century. We shall fill this gift with 
the most delightful, wholesome, and common bever-
age that nature has been supplied with ; and as we 
hope ever to remember and be grateful to the Giver 
of all gifts, so will the sight of this bring to mind 
its giver, with whom we hope, hereafter if not here, 
to become acquainted, and to drink with him of the 
fruit of the vine in our Father's kingdom. 
We are likewise indebted to Bro. D. Bosworth of 
Waterbury Vermont, for one of his excellent clothes 
wringers, (Colby's patent) which, after comparing 
with, we are fully satisfied is far superior to any 
other made. It is simple in its construction, self ad-
justing and self holding in its action, and gives per-
fect satisfaction in its use, after several weeks' trial. 
Any family once using it would regard it as indis-
pensable in their domestic economy. To those not 
acquainted with the article,we would say that every 
housewife will find it a great saver of strength in 
her weekly washing ; and it is so much superior to 
any other wringer, besides being cheaper, that we 
would say to all who wish for something of the kind 
to be sure and procure none but Colby's patent. 
Foreign News. 
ITALY. 
The Frankfort Journal positively asserts that the 
recognition of the Kingdom of Italy by the Prussian 
government is actually decided upon. Another au-
thority says Prussia has made overtures to Russia 
for a simultaneous recognition by both powers. 
It is asserted that the Papal government was en-
gaged in destroying or removing large quantities of 
of secret documents in the archives of Rome. 
In reply to a question on Italian affairs,Lord Pal-
merston said he believed there was a strong desire 
that Rome should be the capital of Italy, and that 
the pope's temporal power should cease. The Bri-
tish government, however, had taken no part in an 
expression of opinion, and no instruction had been 
given to Sir James Hudson to make any remonstrance 
on the subject at Turin. 
The indications are that the allied expedition to 
Mexico is about to break up, and the whole under-
taking to end in nothing except some additional 
Mexican "guarantees," which are a security a grade 
above Confederate scrip in value. Preliminaries to 
a treaty have been signed, on the basis of an admis-
sion that the internal affairs of the country did not 
call for intervention. Accordingly, the monarchy 
scheme explodes ; the English troops, that member 
of the partnership have already become dissatisfied, 
were to be withdrawn before ; some French re-en-
forcements will return without landing, and the 
completion of an amicable treaty seems likely to fol-
low, without any more trouble. Without impugn- 
"The greater part of the inhabitants fled. No op-
position was made its occupation. 
"Among the prisoners is Colonel Avery Smith of 
South Carolina. 
"The force opposed to us was nearly fifteen thou-
sand, under command of Gen. Branch." 
On the Mississippi, at Island No. 10,on Monday, 
the federal gunboats had hot work with the rebel 
batteries, and without receiving much damage,near-
ly battered some of the forts to pieces. A rifled gun 
burst on board the St. Louis, killing two men, mor-
tally wounding two more, and injuring ten others. 
The action was to be renewed the next morning. 
A fight has occurred at Salem, Arkansas, between 
the forces of Col. Wood,and a superior force of Con-
federate troops. After a sharp contest the enemy 
were routed, with the loss of one hundred men kill-
ed, and the capture of numerous prisoners, among 
which are three rebel Colonels. 
Full particulars of the battle and victory at Pea 
Ridge, Arkansas, have been received. The rebels 
numbered 30,000. The prisoners taken are on their 
way to St. Louis. Our loss in killed and wounded 
was about I,000. 
The Indians under Albert Pike were completely 
dispersed in the Pea Ridge battle. The rebels were 
pursued for twelve miles. General Sigel is said to 
have acted most gallantly in the affair. 
St. Louis, March 21. A special dispatch to the 
Republican,dated "Island No. 10, March 20," says 
the cannonading by the gunboats and mortars con-
tinued through Wednesday. All the guns in the 
upper battery except one on the Tennessee shore 
have been silenced, and one gun on the island dis-
mounted. Shells were constantly falling in the re-
bel camp and batteries, and numbers have been kill-
ed and wounded, the latter being carried away on 
litters. A large number of loaded wagons are leav-
ing the Tennessee shore, from which it is believed 
that preparations are being made for the evacuation 
of the works. The floating rebel battery has been 
moved nearer the head of the island. 
Gen. Pope allowed a rebel gunboat to approach 
within fifty yards of a masked battery on Tuesday, 
and then sunk her, killing fifteen of her crew. He 
had previously allowed five rebel steamers to pass on 
toward New Madrid, and they are now between his 
batteries unable to escape. Over a dozen vessels, to-
gether with a floating battery and ram are now 
above Gen. Pope's batteries, and will be captured or 
sunk. 
Mr. Beadell,one of the oldest citizens of Memphis, 
arrived last night. He reports that there are but 
three rebel regiments between New Madrid and 
Memphis, and they are stationed at Fort Pillow. 
The rebel government is manufacturing pikes at 
Memphis for new levies, but less than one hundred 
men have responded to the call of the Govenor. The 
railroads terminating at Memphis are being connec-
ted so as to send all the rolling stock down the New 
Orleans road when necessary. 
The Atlanta (Ga.)Intelligencer of March 8 thus 
confirms the reported evacuation of Pensacola 
"To day we have some intelligence to give, which 
has been kept back thus far from prudential mo-
tives. The army from Centreville and Manassas 
has fallen back to a strong position on the Rappa-
hannock, and Pensacola, like Columbus, has been 
evacuated ; our army there, with all its immense 
armament, has taken a more formidable position of 
defense. Upon these changes of position, brought 
about by circumstances, we have no comment to 
offer. They were doubtless dictated by military 
skill in the art of warfare." 
Cincinnati, March 20. The Cattlesbury corres-
pondent of the Commercial says a boat has just ar-
rived from Piketon bringing the particulars of Gen-
eral Garfield's expedition to Pound Gap, forty miles 
beyond Piketon. There were 5000 rebels intrench-
ed on the summit of the Cumberland Mouutains, at 
Pound Gap. Gen. Garfield ascended the mountain 
with his infantry by unfrequented paths, and while 
his cavalry, by advancing along the main road, and 
making a vigorous attack in tront, drew the rebels 
a short distance down the summit, the infantry ad-
vanced along the ridge and completely routed them 
after a fight of less than twenty minutes. The re-
bels abandoned everything. Gen. Garfield pursued 
them six miles into Virgihia, and after quartering 
his men over night in the captured camp, burnt 
their barracks consisting of sixty log huts, with a 
large quantity of stores. The rebels loss was seven 
killed and wounded. Nobody was hurt on our 
side. 
Fortress Monroe, March 23. The steamer Chan-
cellor Livingston arrived from Hatteras Inlet last 
night. 
Immediately after the occupation of Newbern an 
expedition to Beaufort, N. C., was started. The 
place was evacuated, however, before our troops ap-
proached. Fort Macon was blown up by the rebels, 
and the steamer Nashville was burnt on the day 
Gen. Burnside occupied Newbern. Sixteen thou-
sand troops were on the road between Goldsboro' 
and Newbern.

NUM 
In this department, articles are solicited, on the general 
subject of .-,be Advent, from friends of the Herald, over 
their own signatures, irrespective of the particular views 
which it defends. Views of correspondents not dissented 
from, are not necessarily to be considered as editorially 
endorsed. Correspondents are expected to avoid all per-
sonalities, and to study Christian courtesy in all references 
to views and persons. Any departure from this should be 
regarded as disentitling the writer to any reply. Christian 
and gentlemanly discussion will be in order ; but not 
needless, unkind, or uncourteous controversy. 
From Bro. S. Chapman. 
Bro. Bliss :-L-Two and a half months having now 
past since I last spoke through our columns, I take 
pen in hand to continue my uniform custom. When 
I wrote from this place Jan. 1st, 1 little thought 
my next letter would be dated Springwater ; but so 
it is. At the conclusion of my last I said, " An 
interesting work has recently commenced here."—
None however, had then been baptized. Well, Jam 
now happy to say, that this precious work contin-
ued with increasing interest for weeks. The first 
Sunday in January the ice was cut on Hemlock 
lake, three miles from the village, where 1 had the 
pleasure of baptizing four happy young converts ; 
and thus we continued to do, once every week for 
seven weeks in succession ; but finding it to conflict 
with other Sunday services, we subsequently attend-
ed to baptism on Saturday, instead of Sunday, and 
this removed all embarrassment. While the ice was 
being cut on the lake, the candidates, and a respect-
able number of our citizens convened at the sanctu-
ary, one mile from the lake, and listened to a brief 
discourse on baptism. Then all went in procession 
to the baptismal waters, to perform and witness the 
solemn and interesting scene. Twenty-three pre-
cious souls have thus " put on Christ," Gal. 3:27. 
Some are still waiting, and others. seeking. All 
that received baptism, and seven others, have united 
With the Advent church here, increasing its number 
to 60 members. Previous to my coming here this 
time, some of its members had died, and others 
moved away. The old members therefore were great-
ly cheered by having their number doubled in so 
short a time, and the more so, as the subjects of this 
revival, generally, are young and middle aged men 
and women of the first respectability, and are very 
active in all their meetings of worship, which have 
been often repeated during the winter. For more 
than two months we have uniformly convened for 
that purpose on the sabbath, A.M. and evening,and 
four other evenings during the week, besides our 
Saturday service, and occasional prayer meetings. 
After preaching, some 20 to• 30 generally rise in 
quick succession, and speak with life and animation. 
One evening, when several had just submitted to 
God, and found peace in believing, I took it upon 
myself to count them as they rose to speak, and no 
less than 38 rose and spoke that evening, each ex-
pressing their strong faith in the soon coming of the 
Lord. Had Bro. Rimes been present, he would 
doubtless have said of them as he did in '53, of the 
converts in Illinois, " These are truly Bro. Chap-
man's children in the gospel ; for they all partake 
of his measure of faith," &c. The services of that 
evening were protracted till 10 o'clock, and after 
the benediction several of the friends lingered until 
11, and then returned to their respective homes,-
2, 3 and 4 miles—singing, and praising God with 
vocal voices. It was indeed one of the most inter-
esting meetings I ever attended. Except that even 
ing, we generally closed service at precisely 9 o'cl'k 
and all retired in good season. During my stay here 
I have visited Father and mother Jenne at Conesus 
some half dozen times, and preached at their house 
in the evening,and although our congregations were 
small, these seasons have been mutually refreshing. 
Some three weeks since, I left the good work here 
in Bro. Sterling's care to meet an earnest call from 
a few isolated Adventists in Prattsburgh—some 20 
miles east—spent near two weeks there to good ad-
vantage, though the elements were much against us. 
Held our meetings on what is called Lent Hill,—
where we experienced such snow squalls and despe-
rate snow drifts as I never witnessed before. But 
the people—especially the friends—having become 
interested to hear, they prest their way through, 
and listened attentively to the word on the sabbath, 
and with two exceptions, every evening in the week. 
The brethren—or sisters, mostly—were manifestly 
revived, and others were attentive to the word.—
Several expressed a wish to be constituted into an 
Advent church, but as Bro. F., the only prominent 
and active brother among them, was soon to leave 
the place, it seemed inexpedient to organize. I felt 
deeply for them, exhorted them to watchfulness and 
prayer, and promised to visit them again, if possi-
ble. When I returned to this place last week, I 
was happy to learn that the meetings had been 
faithfully sustained, and the converts had acted 
their part well. Since I returned our meetings have 
been very interesting ; but I will particularize only 
on the exercises of last Sunday. Our sanctuary 
was crowded to overflowing, and after listening to 
a lengthy discourse on the 24th of s1atthew, no less 
than 41 warm-hearted disciples rose and heartily 
responded to the word, and added their faithful ex-
hortations that each and all be in constant readiness 
to meet the Lord at his coming, which event they 
considered near, " even at the doors," Matt. 24:33. 
After a brief recess, we celebrated the Lord's sup-
per, in which a large majority of the congregation 
readily participated ; and many said, " This has 
been the most interesting communion season we ever 
enjoyed. Bro. Rimes was with us on Wednesday 
evening of this week, and gave us an interesting 
discourse on the time of the end, showing its near-
ness, and the necessity of our being in a waiting 
position to meet the event. All were glad to see 
Bro. H., and more especially to see him with his 
health completely restored. We hope he may live 
to witness the desire of his heart—escape the grim 
monster, and " be changed in a moment, in the 
twinkling of an eye," 1 Cor. 15:51, 2. For more 
than 20 years have I been cheered with the same 
glorious prospect before me. Truly it is a "blessed 
hope," Titus 2:13. A Mr. Colvin, a young minis-
ter of much promise, now settled over a church in 
Steuben county, 40 miles south, being here some 
weeks since on a visit, by his wife's request consent-
ed to come with her to one of our evening meetings, 
and being interested, they continued to come till 
she heartily embraced and publicly confessed faith 
in the doctrines we hold. About the third evening 
Mr. C. acknowledged that he was interested in the 
views we presented, after which he took a friendly 
part in the services, and on one occasion said, " I 
confess that I never attended a meeting where there 
seemed to be so little excitement, and yet such a 
manifestation of the presence of God." As lie was 
about to leave, and return to the people of his 
charge, he gave me a cordial invitation to visit 
Woodhull, and hold a series of meetings with his 
people. The call was so kind and courteous, I gave 
him to understand that I would meet it when my 
work was completed here. Have just received a 
friendly note from him, requesting me to be there 
on the coming sabbath, if possible, and if not, then 
come as soon as I can be spared here. Under these 
circumstances, I take encouragement to hope that 
an effort made there will result in some good to that 
people, though the views which we hold will be en-
tirely new to them. It is now my intention to be 
there about the middle of next week. When thro' 
there, shall go to Spring Mills, Allegany county,25 
miles further south, to which place Bro. C. kindly 
offers to convey me. Hope the Lord will continue 
to direct my steps until the trumpet sounds. Pray 
for me, dear brethren and sisters, such of you as 
may read this epistle, and are interested in the doc-
trines we hold and teach, and soon, I humbly trust, 
we shall meet and mingle together in a much more 
peaceful kingdom than this. Amen. Even so, 
come, Lord Jesus• Yours, Bro. B., as ever,

PS. As a testimony of the genuineness of the 
revival here, Bro. Bliss, I am happy to forward you 
the names of four of the converts, with their $2 
each, as new subscribers for the Advent Herald.—
And now in conclusion I will say to the friends,un-
til I write again, my Post-office address will he

We are obliged to Bro. Chapman for the substan-
tial evidence he sends, " of the genuineness of the 
revival" under his labors in Springwater. May his 
labors every where be crowned with like success. 
ED. 
From Bro. D. Bosworth. 
Having at least satisfied my own mind that the 
heaven in which the prophet saw a door opened was 
the heaven of the divine presence, we proceed to in-
quire concerning the persons and things seen in the 
presence chamber of Deity. That the things seen 
in this vision are among the things that then were, 
will, I think, he apparent from a few considerations. 
First, Deity is seen seated on the throne of eterni-
ty. That a present God who gave unto Jesus Christ 
the sealed book, containing the history of " the 
things which shall be hereafter," was then symbol-
ized, will hardly be questioned. Second, that the 
Lamb as it had been slain" symbolized Jesus 
Christ in his own proper person, will hardly be 
doubted by any reflecting individual—Lamb being 
formerly a metaphorical title, used in the Apoca-
lypse as a proper sacrificial name for the Redeemer 
of the world. The reason for such symbolization is 
—no created being can symbolize the untreated God; 
neither would any mortal creature be a proper sym-
bol of the immortal Son of God. Third, the elders 
[ancient ones, Isa. 24:23]. It is claimed by many 
expositors that we have in the elders a symbol of 
the redeemed of our race, and the reason given is, 
they sing, " Thou hest redeemed us, and we shall 
reign on the earth." But this is begging the ques-
tion. It does not follow because they are, or sym-
bolize a portion of our race, that therefore they re-
present the whole. As well might we say that the 
" great multitude," Rev. 7, symbolized all the sav-
ed, when a hundred and forty-four thousand are ex-
pressly pointed out, of another class. Or that the 
144,000, Rev. 14, represent all the redeemed that 
shall stand on mount Zion, when they are pointed 
out as having certain characteristics which, above 
all others, entitle them to the special regard and fa-
vor of God. And in this vision we have the "four 
living creatures" spmbolizing one class, and the el-
ders [ancients] another : and yet all unite in sing-
ing the same song of triumph. Who are the elders 
then ? and whence came they ? We understand 
them to be those of the ancient dispensation desig-
nated of God to be subordinate rulers in his future 
kingdom : already translated or resurrected. See 
the song they sing, Thou wast slain, and hast re-
deemed us—past tense—and we shall reign, Ste.—
future tense. It may be objected that the redemp-
tion was complete when Christ covenanted to per-
form the work, and therefore the past tense proper-
ly used, although the work was not absolutely ac-
complished. We do not admit the argument, but 
suppose it admitted for a moment, that covenant 
did not constitute them kings : it only placed them 
in a position to be constituted such by an exertion 
of executive authority. But we find them in their 
own proper persons, already crowned, and acting as 
agents in presenting and explaining the vision to 
the apostle. If it be claimed that crowned elders 
would be proper symbols of those who should be 
exalted to thrones in the future dispensation, we 
answer No, unless they had already been made im-
mortal and received a crown of life. This will be 
seen in the case of our Redeemer ; he is presented 
in his sacrificial character before the throne, evi-
dently because the time had not come in the scenic 
representation to present him with the symbol of 
dominion on his head. And expositors give this as 
a reason why the dragon, Rev. 12, was presented 
with horns uncrowned, and the wild beast, Rev. 13, 
with those appendages crowned. In the one they 
are presented crownless because they had not re-
ceived power, in the other they are surmounted with 
a diadem because they had been exalted to domin-
ion. So these are presented with their diadems, in 
their own proper forms exalted to thrones, because 
they had been made immortal by translation or res-
urrection. It is objected that those raised were all 
Jews, while those who sing the song were from eve-
ry nation, tribe and people. But I believe there is 
no authority for saying the resurrected were all 
Jews. If they were all raised from the cemeteries 
about Jerusalem, we know there was a godly seed 
there, in the days of Melchizedek, before the Jews 
ever possessed the city. But if it could be shown 
that they [the raised] were all Jews, still the idea 
might be correct, for while there might be Jews, 
those symbolized by the four living creatures might 
be from the other nations. If this idea be correct, 
then while Some are exalted to thrones, others will 
be priests, and doubtless others will be happy sub-
jects in the kingdom of God. The idea of a king-
dom in which all are kings, consequently without 
subjects, is incongruous and absurd ; and yet such 
is the manner in which we have been taught. But 
in this vision while we have " ten thousand times 
ten thousand" singing the song of redemption, we 
have but twenty-four crowned ones, who shall exer-
cise regal authority over this portion of the inhab-
itants of the empire of the great King.

Reply. 
Bro. Bliss : Having returned home from a 
preaching tour after an absence of nearly four 
weeks, I embrace my first opportunity to say a few 
words respecting Elder Grant's note of " Correc-
tion" in a recent issue of your paper. I am happy 
to agree with him on some points, and where we 
differ wish it to be fraternally. 
He gives the report of the business committee 
of the Providence Conference ; I give the preamble 
and resolution which were there adopted,—these, 
however, are substantially the same. 
He views the resolution as a " recommenda-
tion" of the policy to be pursued by us in relation 
to the questions of the state of the dead and end of 
the wicked ; 1 also speak in my journal of our res-
olutions " recommendatory." 
He considers the resolution has " reference on-
ly to the manner of presenting these subjects, as it 
was known to be a lamentable fact that some on 
both sides of these questions had been in the habit 
of using reproachful epithets, when preaching on 
these topics." That it recommends us to avoid 
preaching on them in a manner calculated to give 
offence to those holding opposing sentiments, and as 
far as is practicable to express ourselves in the lan-
guage of Scripture, I freely admit, for it is dis-
tinctly stated ; but if the " only" thing intended 
was to forbid " the habit of using reproachful epi-
thets when preaching on these topics," why did not 
the Conference pass a resolution covering all sub-
jects on which we speak, as it is well known that 
some preachers are very harsh in their expressions 
towards those who differ from them on any matter ? 
—in short, it would have been better to have voted 
that such texts as the following be acted upon,—
" Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from 
speaking guile ;" " Let no corrupt communication 
proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good 
to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace 
unto the hearers." 
The published records of the secretary of that 
conference will shew that when the resolution was 
under discussion, " Elder J. Litch gave an interest-
ing history of the origin and progress of the divis-
ions caused by the AGITATION of these and similar 
questions," and " was followed by appropriate re-
marks on the necessity of mutual forbearance, &c., 
and a judicious manner of promulgating these sec-
ondary subjects, upon which there is a settled diffe-
rence of views ;" and I remember " it was must 
clearly talked and understood" that it was not so 
much the fact that men honestly differed in their 
opinion on these subjects that " produced alienation 
of feeling, and other sad results," as it was the way 
in which these questions were pressed upon the peo-
ple ; and as an illustration of this, reference was 
made to brethren Rimes, Fassett and others having 
labored harmoniously together for many years, tho' 
holding different views on these points ; and it is 
well known that they only labored thus in harmony 
by neither party making prominent their peculiar 
views, and thrusting them upon community wher-
ever they went. If Bro. Grant, therefore, thought 
that the policy recommended to be pursued, was 
such as to admit of these subjects being made pri-
mary, instead of " secondary,"—or, even equally 
prominent with the doctrine of the speedy coming 
and kingdom of Christ and the preparation need-
ful ;—in other words, if he thought it was intend-
ed that we might agitate these questions wherever 
we went, only forbear getting into " the habit" of 
using abusive and " reproachful epithets,"—I must 
say he took a different view of the matter from what 
I did. 
With his veracity and sincerity in saying,"In 
no case am I conscious of violating" any pledge 
then given, I suppose I have no more to do than I 
have,when he says in the Crisis of the 12th inst., 
" We find no figures from the 4th verse of Rev.20, 
to the close of the book." 
I might add that I never heard Eld. Grant preach 
and know nothing of his " manner," only as I ga-
ther it from his writings, by having heard him speak 
in conferences, debate with Dr. Litch in Boston,and 
from the statements and course of those who have 
heard him. After carefully reading again my jour-
nal in the Herald of Nov. 16th, '61, I cannot per-
ceive that I have done him any injustice; if I could, 
I would feel bound to retract the statement. I am 
still of the opinion then expressed, " that the spirit 
and principles of these recommendatory resolutions 
have not been acted upon by all, and as the result, 
we behold division, discord and distrIction." That 
he, and some others associated with him, intend to 
make prominent their materialist views wherever 
they go, is now so perfectly obvious that our breth-
ren should know what to expect. 
As a firm believer in " the sleep of the dead" and 
" destruction of the wicked," but not in the un-
conscious, state of the dead and extinction of the 
being of the wicked, I remain yours, waiting for 
the day when a!1 God's faithful watchmen will "see 
eye to eye,"

Starks Conference. 
This conference was held as appointed, commenc-
ing March 6th. The roads were very bad, but a 
good number came from abroad, and as a good in-
terest prevailed already in the place, a large congre-
gation was in attendance. This is a new field.—
Some over one year ago Bro. J. Hemenway went 
there and preached a while, and the word took ef-
fect, lodging in good ground, sprang up, and has 
been growing. An intelligent and worthy portion 
of the community have embraced the gospel faith 
and hope, several turned to the Lord and found par-
don. Bro. Jones, of Conn., also preached there 
some last year, to good effect. Brn. Lombard and 
THE ADVENT HERALD 
103 
Howard have also visited them to water the seed. 
So when the conference commenced we found sever-
al young converts, and many others " not far from 
the kingdom." Our ministering brethren present 
were, Elds. Sevey, Haggett, Howard and Wellcome. 
The preaching was of the right character, calcula-
ted to lead men to Christ and his truth. The breth-
ren were joyful in hope, and active in the wore of 
the Lord. God abundantly blessed us with the gra-
cious influence of his Spirit, causing love and union 
to prevail. It was good to be there. Many receiv-
ed the word gladly, and are actively searching the 
Scriptures to see whether these things are so. A 
deep impression of duty to obey God rested on the 
minds of many, and in our closing meeting, Sunday 
evening, seven arose asking the prayers of the Lord's 
children, and many others seemed to be deeply pen-
itent. The work seemed but just began, and sever-
al brethren tarried to continue meetings several days 
longer. We are satisfied that God is doing a good 
and lasting work in Starks, Me.

The Maine Mission-Funds. 
Although our mission work has thus far progres-
sed finely, under the blessing of God, and bids fair 
to sustain itself when once placed on proper footing 
for its work, yet it is duty to notify its supporters 
and friends of its condition and wants, that they 
may calculate and act according to the necessity of 
the case. We have purchased a team at an expense 
of one hundred dollars. I have paid out about for-
ty dollars more than I have collected, and borrowed 
the money to do so. I have also pledged to pay 
thirty dollars more, which I must soon pay. I am 
not a man of money, nor able to earn much. I am 
treasurer, and chairman of the mission board, and 
am therefore obliged to take a responsible part, and 
should also report progress. Will the brethren who 
wish to aid the Mission send in their mites to re-
plenish the treasury, and relieve me ? We shall soon 
need a wagon. How shall we get it ?

Dear Bro. Bliss :-Although perilous times shall 
characterize the last days, and the love of many 
shall wax cold, yet the Lord's arm is not shortened 
that it cannot save, nor his ear heavy that he can-
not hear. In proof of this I am happy to say the 
Lord has heard the prayers of his children and blest 
the labors of his servant Elder D. Bosworth in this 
vicinity and South Duxbury, in granting repent-
ance and remission of sins, as we trust, to somesev-
en or eight precious souls. Bro. Bosworth has 
preached to us nearly every evening and one Sab-
bath for about three weeks, closing one week ago 
this evening. I think some four or five of the above 
had at some previous time indulged a hope.

From Sister E. Cope. 
Dear Bro. Bliss :-I enclose a small mite ; but it 
is given with a free-will to the best of causes, and 
you will not despise it. I hope to be able to do 
more at a future period. I love our glorious cause, 
and am willing to deny myself of things that must 
soon pass away, to support it. May God bless you 
and all my dear brethren and sisters, who are work-
ing in the same cause. My prayer is that God may 
bless and crown your efforts with abundant success. 
I prize the Advent Herald next to the word of God; 
and therefore I cannot, and do not intend to do 
without it so long as it is sustained on the same 
principles. It certainly would be a great trial to 
me to have to give it up ; which I hope will never 
be the case. One Herald is worth a year's subscrip-
tion to your sister in the blessed hope of soon meet- 
ing in a better land, ELIZABETH COPE.

Bro. Bliss :-Because of previous obligations I 
can neither pay up past dues for the Herald nor be-
come one of the list according to Bro. Burnham's 
proposition for the permanent support of the Her-
ald, which I very much desire to do. 1 have come 
to the determination to sell my farm, and would 
say to any of our friends wishing to seek them a 
home in the West that I offer my place, containing 
75 acres, ten of which is timber, surrounded by 
flourishing villages, such as Cedar Rapids, Annam-
ora, Mt. Vernon, L-c., a thickly populated county, 
and within one hour's drive of Railroad Depots and 
markets for all kinds of produce. The place will 
be sold, with all its stock of cows, horses, hogs, 
poultry, farming utensils, including all kinds of 
grain, sufficient until after harvest, household fur- 
niture, in fact everything that is necessary to live 
and conduct a farm, all for less than the cost of 
some quite ordinary dwellings in many of our vil-
lages East. Any one wishing to avail themselves 
of the opportunity, or desirous of further particu-
lars, will address me, enclosing a stamp, at Fair- 
view, Jones Co., Iowa. DANIEL KEELER. 
Our Ella in Prayer. 
At morn and eve she knelt in prayer : not alone 
For self she prayed-nor needed much-she prayed 
For other's woe. Her soul embraced in love 
The human race ! Heaven registered the thought, 
Vouchsafed its aid, and sent a blessing down. 
" God, who with power encirclest all the earth, 
Who reign'st supreme o'er all the work of nban ! 
Wilt thou propitious prove, and grant me my 
Request : right views of thee and thine to have-
A sense of what I am, and thou wouldst have 
Me be." 'Twas thus she prayed, nor prayed in 
vain. 
Smiles wreathed her countenance, for inward joy, 
Such alone as consciousness of right can 
Give-or full answer to request-she felt. 
What wonder then that they, who her presence 
Shared, should better be ; should feel a nearness 
To the source of good, not felt before. T.

Memoirs of William Miller. 
By the author of the Time of the End-excepting 
the first three chapters, which were by the pen of 
another. pp. 426. Price, post paid, 75 cts. 
Few men have been more diversely regarded than 
William Miller. While those who knew him, es-
teemed him as a man of more than ordinary mental 
power, as a cool, sagacious and honest reasoner, an 
humble and devoted Christian, a kind and affection-
ate friend, and a man of great moral and social 
worth ; thousands, who knew him not, formed opin-
ions of him anything but complimentary to his in-
telligence and sanity. It was therefore the design 
of this volume to show him to the world as he was 
-to present him as he appeared in his daily walk 
and conversation, to trace the manner in which he 
arrived at his conclusions, to follow him into his 
closet and places of retirement, to unfold the work-
ings of his mind through a lone series of years, and 
scan closely his motives. These things are shown of 
him by large extracts fropi his unstudied private 
correspondence, by his published writings, by nar-
rations of interviews with him, accounts of his pub-
lic labors in the various places he visited, a full 
presentation of his views, with the manner of their 
conception, and various reminiscences of interest in 
connection with his life. 
The revivals of religion which attended his labors, 
are here testified to by those who participated in 
them ; and hundreds of souls, it is •believed,will ever 
regard him as a means, under God, of their conver-
sion. The attention given to his arguments caused 
many minds, in all denominations, to change their 
views of the millennial state ; and as the christian 
public learn to discriminate between the actual po-
sition of Mr. Miller, and that which prejudice has 
conceived that he occupied, his memory will he 
much more justly estimated. The following notice 
of this volume is from the "Theological and Liter-
ary Journal." 
This volume is worthy of a perusal by all who 
ake an interest in the great purposes God has re-
vealed respecting the future government of the 
world. If the first chapters descend to a detail of 
incidents that are of little moment, and betray a 
disposition to exaggerate and over-paint, the main 
portion of the memoir, which is occupied with the 
history of his religious life, is not chargeable with 
that fault, and presents an interesting account of 
his studies, his opinions, his lectures, his disap 
pointments, and his death, and frees him from many 
of the injurious imputations with which he was as-
sailed during his last years. He was a man of vig-
orous sense, ardent, resolute, and upright; he had 
the fullest faith in the Scriptures as the word of 
God, and gave the most decided evidence that he 
understood and felt the power of their great truths. 
Instead of the ambitiousness of a religions dema-
gogue, he was disinterested ; his great aim in his 
advent 
 His de- 
meanor, on the confutation of his calculations re-
specting the advent, was such as might be expected 
from an upright man. Instead of resorting to sub-
terfuges to disguise his defeat, he frankly confessed 
his error, and while he lost faith in himself, retain-
ed his trust undiminished in God, and endeavored 
to guard his followers from the dangers to which

A Volume for the Times. 
"THE TIME OF THE END." 
This volume of over 400 pages, compiled by the 
present editor of the Advent Herald and published 
in 1856,treats "the time of the end," (Dan. 12: 9,) 
as a prophetic period preceding the end ; during, 
which there was predicted to be a wonderful in-
crease of knowledge respecting the prophecies and 
periods that fill up the future of this world's dura-
tion, to the final consummation. 
It presents various computations of the times of 
Daniel and John ; copies Rev E. B. Elliott's view 
of "our present position in the prophetic calen-
dar," with several lectures by Dr. Cumming, and 
gives three dissertations on the new heavens and the 
new earth, by Drs. Chalmers, Hitchcock, and Wes- 
ley. To this is added "The Testimony of more than 
One Hundred Witnesses,'' of all ages of the church, 
and of all denominations of Christians,-expressing 
faith in the personal advent of Christ, his reign on 
the renewed earth, on the resurrection of the just, 
&c. It is for sale at this office and will be sent by 
mail, post paid, for 75 cts.-to those who do not 
wish to give $1., its former retail price.

, WHITTEN'S GOLDEN SALVE is a step by way of 
I V progress in the healing art. It is adapted to all the 
purposes of a family Salve. It effectually cures piles, 
wounds, bruises, sprains, cuts, chilblains, corns, burns, 
fever-sores, scrofulous humors, erysipelas, salt-rheum, 
king's evil, rheumatism, spinal difficulties, chafings in 
warm weather, &c• &c., and is believed by many experi-
enced and competent judges to be the best oc•nbination of 
medicinal ingredients for external inflammatory difficul-
ties that has ever been produced. Many of the best phy-
sicians of the various schools use it and also recommend it. 
Every farmer should have it for horses ; for the cure of 
scratches, sprains, chafings, &c., and also for sore teats on 
cows. It cures felons. It cures warts. 
From Mr. Morris Fuller, of North Creek, N. Y. : "We 
find your Golden Salve to be good for everything that we 
have tried it for. Among other things for which we have 
used it, is a bad case of 'scald head ' of our little girl. 
Its effect in this case was also favorable." 
" We like your Golden Salve very much in this place. 
Among other things I knew a lady who was cured of a 
very bad case of sore eyes."-Walter S. Plummer, Lake 
Village, N. H. 
Mrs. Glover, East Merrimack street, Lowell, was cured 
of a bad case of piles by the use of one box of the Salve. 
Mr. Farrington, a wealthy merchant and manufacturer 
of Lowell, was relieved of piles which had afflicted him 
for many years, and remarked to a friend that it was worth 
a hundred dollars a box for piles. 
Miss Harriet Morrill, of East Kingston, N. II., says : "I 
have been afflicted with piles for over twenty years. The 
last seven years I have been a great sufferer. And though 
1 never expect to be well, yet to be relieved as I am from 
day to day by the use of your Golden Salve, fills my heart 
with gratitude." 
From Mr. J. 0. Merriam, Tewksbury, Mass. : "I have 
a large milk farm. I have used a great deal of your Gol-
den Salve for sore teats on my cows. I have used many 
other kinds of salve. Yours is the best I ever saw. I 
have also used it for sprains and scratches on my horses. 
It cures them in a short time. I recommend it to all who 
keep cows or horses." 
From Dr. Geo. Pierce, Lowell : " Your Golden Salve is 
good. It will have a great sale." 
From Dr. W. S. Campbell, New Britain, Conn.: "Tout 
Golden Salve is a great thing for chilblains. I have also 
used it in afflicting cases of salt rheum, erysipelas, and 
sore nipples. Its effect was, a speedy and permanent cure." 
Dr. Bliss, of Brunswick, Me., says : I have several 
friends who have been cured of scrofulous humors by the 
Golden Salve. You may ecommend it from me as a val-
uable Salve." 
" I received a wound in my foot by a rusty nail ; by 
reason of which I could not set my foot to the floor for 
two weeks. The pain was excruciating. When your Gol-
den Salve was applied, it relieved the pain in a short time, 
I and two and a half boxes of it wrought a perfect cure."-
Mrs. Lucinda. A. Swain, Merideth Centre, N. H. 
Mr. H. L. W. Roberts, Editor of Marion Intelligencer, 
Marion, Ill., says, "Every person that uses the Golden 
Salve testifies favorably." He has also published a list of 
names in his paper, of persons cured of wounds, sores, hu-
mors, rheumatism, &c., and gives the public reference to 
them ; who, he says, are among the first citizens of the 
place. 
THE GOLDEN SALVE-A GREAT HEALING REMEAY.-It 
is with much pleasure we announce the advent of this new 
article in our city, which has met with such signal success 
in Lowell, where it is made, that the papers have teemed 
with cases of truly marvelous cures. They chronicle one 
where the life of a lady was recently saved-a case of bro-
ken breast ; another where the life of a child was saved-
a case of chafing ; another of a lady whose face was much 
disfigured by scrofulous humor, which was brought to a 
healthy action in a few days ; 'also another of an old man, 
who had a sore on his foot for twenty years-cured in a 
few weeks. Our citizens will not be slow in getting at its 
merits, and will herald it over the land.-Boston Herald. 
Boston, July 12, 1859. Bro. Whitten : I have used your 
Golden Salve in my family, and I am acquainted with a 
large number of families also who have used it ; and I 
have reason to believe that it is really what you recom- 
mend it to be.
