Each token of the promised land.

The bright moon rose over the mighty 
city, tipping with silver the domes of more 
than two hundred churches, and pouring 
a flood of light over. a thousand palaces, 
and the dwellings of three hundred thou-
sand inhabitants. The weary army sunk 
to rest; but there was no sleep for Mor· 
tier's eyes. 
Not the gorgeous and varie-
gated palaces and their rich ornaments-
nor the parks and gardens, and oriental 
magnificence that everywhere surrounded 
him, kept him wakeful, but the ominous 
foreboding that some dire calamity was 
hanging over the silent capital. 
When 
he entered it, scarcely a living soul met 
his gaze as he looked down the long 
streets; and when he broke open the 
buildings, he found parlors and bed-rooms 
and chambers all furnished and in order, 
but no occupants. This sudden abandon-
ment of their homes betoken some secret 
purpose yet to be hlfilled. The midnight 
moon was sailing over the city, when the 
cry of "Fire!'' reached the ears of Mor-
tier; and the first light over Napoleon's 
falling empire was kindled, and that most 
wondrous scene of modern times com-
menced-
THE BURNING OF 1\IOSCO\V. 
Mortier, as governor of the city, im-
mediately issued his orders, and was put-
ting forth every exertion, when ·at day-
light Napoleon hastened to him. 
Affect-
ing to disbelieve the reports that the in-
habitants were firing their own city, he 
put more rigid commands on Mortier to 
keep the soldiers from the work of des-
truction. 
The Marshal simply pointed 
to some iron-covered houses that had not 
yet been opened, from every crevice of

can draw from it a real love for all those 
with whom we are called to live; not. an 
exacting, suspicious love, but a merciful 
love, which excuses and forgives, like 
that of God himself; not a proud love, 
but a love humble, and accompanied by a 
feeling of its own faults, of its own mis-
ery; not a changing love, but a Jove as 
immutable as eternal charity. "A voice 
of siuging, of triumph, and of deliver-
ance, resounds in the tabernacle of the 
just." 
When the hour of trial come, 
that hour which sounds sooner or later, 
and oftener more than once in the dwell-
ings of men, what powerful consolation 
will domestic piety afford ! Where are 
trials experienced, if not in the bosom of 
families? 
Where then but in the bosom 
nf families ought the remedy for trials to 
be found 1 What grief is there in an af-
flicted family which has not this consola-
tion ! The different persons who c.om-
pose it, mutualy increase their sorrow. 
But if, on the other hand, the family 
loves God-if it is accustomed to invoke 
in common the holy name of God, from 
whom proceeds every trial, as well as ev-
ery excellent grace, how the bowed soul 
will be lifted up! The remaining mem-
bers, the fragments of the famly, gather 
around the table upon which is found the 
Book of God, that book in which they 
read of the resurrection, of life, of im-
mortality, in which they find the certain 
pledges of the happiness of him who is 
no longer of their number, of their ovm 
hope. 
The Lord is pleased to send 
them in abundance tJ:e Comforter; the 
spirit of glory and of God rests upon 
them; an ineffable balm is poured into 
their wounds, and spreads there great 
sweetness ; hence peace is communicated 
from heart to heart· 
They taste in some 
moments of a joy almost celestial.-
" When I walk through the valley of the 
shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for 
Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy 
staff shall comfort me. 
0 Lord, thou 
hast brought up my soul from the grave; 
For his anger endureth but a moment; 
in his favor his life; weeping may en-
dure for a night, but joy c.ometh in the 
morning." 
Who can te11, my brethren, what an in-
fluence domestic piety may exert over 
the whole face of society? 
v	at encour-
agements to this duty cannot all find 
therein, from· the highest officer of state 
to the most humble artizan! If all would 
accustom themselves to walk in this way, 
not only in the sight of man, but in the 
eye of God, how would each one learn 
from it to be content in the station in 
which he is placed! 
Good habits would 
be formed ; the powerful voice of con-
scienee would be strengthened; prudence, 
decorum, talents, the social virtues would 
develope themselves with a strength alto-
gether new. 
Behold what we may ex-
pect for ourselves and for society; " right-
eousnes has the promise of the life which 
now is, and of the life which is to·come." 
The Sacred Mountains. 
THE 
M 0 UN T 
OF ,0 LIVE S • 
BY THE REV. J. T. HEADLEY. 
The Mount of Olives stands just with· 
out Jerusalem, over the little stream of 
Kedron. 
Its height and magnitude 
would not entitle it to the name of moun-
tain as we use the word; hut being called 
such in the Bible, it belongs among the 
" Sacred Mountains." 
In moral gran-
deur it towers above all the preceding 
mountains that rise along the horizon of 
history. 
It is difficult to recall any scene vividly 
that has been so often described and so 
long familiar to us as that which trans-
pired on the Mount of Olives. 
The 
mind is prepared for every event in it, 
and hence cannot be taken by surprise, or 
held in suspense. 
But there are mo-
179 
ments when the heart forgets all that it 
has ever heard, and seems for the first 
time to witness that night of suffering. 
The indifferenr.e which long familiarity 
has produced disappear-s before rising 
emotion, and that lonely hill-top-that 
m.idn~ght prayer-that piercing agony, 
with Its bloody testimonial, and the rude 
shock of Roman soldiers, all, all, swim 
before the swimming eye, with the fresh-
ness of first sight, till the heart thrill:s and 
throbs at the wondrous spectacle. 
But as morally grand and moving as 
that scene was, it c~used but little talk in 
Jerusalem. 
The streets of the proud 
city were filled with careless promenaders 
-parties of pleasure were assembled-
dissipation and revelry were on every 
side; ·and the quiet of the staid citizen's 
home was not interrupted by the tragedy 
Mount Olivet was to witness. 
Evety 
thing moved on in its accustomed way, 
when, in an obscure street in the upper 
chamber of an inferior dwelling, a group 
of coarse-clad men sat down to a table 
spread with the plainest fare. 
The rat-
tling of carriages, and the hum of the 
mighty city were unheeded by them, and 
you could see by their countenances that 
some calamiLy was impending over their 
heads. 
Few words were spoken, and 
those few were uttered in a subdued and 
saddened tone, that always bespeaks grief 
at the heart. 
At the head of the table 
sat one whose noble countenance pro-
claimed him chief there. 
He had ,.,.·on 
the love of those simple-hearted m~n, 
and now they sat grouped around him, 
expecting some sad news, but oh, they 
were unprepared for the startling declara-
tion that fell from those lips : " This night 
one of you shall betray me." "Is itl ?I' 
" Is it I ?" ran from lip tci lip in breath-
lPss consternation. 
At length all eyes 
centred on Judas, and he rose and ·went 
aay. 
I will not speak of the conversation 
that followed, but amid words that thrilled 
every heart were heard such language as, 
'' This is my blood shed for many;" 'and 
as the bread crumbled beneath his fingers, 
" This is my body ;"-strange language, 
and awakening strange sensations in the 
bewildered listeners; and a mournful sad-
ne::,s rested on every face, as through the 
silent chamber rung those tones of ten-
derness. 
Gradually the great city sunk to 
re~t, 
the noise of wheels grew less and less, 
and only now and then a solitary carriage 
went rumbling by. 
It was midnight, and 
from that solitary chamber arose the 
voice of singing. 
The victim at the al-
tar-the sufferer by the wheel, struck up 
a hymn at the moment of sacrificc-
W as there ever before a hymn sung un-
der such circumstances. 
Through the darkened streets those 
twelve forms are slowly passing towards 
the waHs of the 
~ity, cared for and no-
ticed only by the police, whom the be-
trayer has put upon the track. 
Kedron is 
passed, and they reach the garden of 
Gethsemane. "Sit you here," says Je-
sus," while I go and pray yonder," and 
takin<Y with him only Peter, James, and 
John~he ascended the slope of Olivet.-
As they paused on the solitary summit, 
the human heart threw off the restraint 
it had put on its feelings, and burst forth 
in tones of indescribable mournfulne~s, 
"My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even 
unto death;· stay here and watch with 
me." 
Every prop seemed fa1ling beside 
him, and in the deepening gloom and 
dread that surrounded him, he reached 
out for sympathy and aid. 
Then, as if 
recollecting himself and the task before 
him, he broke away even from those 
three remaining friends, and they saw 
with speechless grief and amazement his 
form disappear in the darkness. 
Jerusalem is sunk in slumber and se-
curity, and nought but the tread of the

New York, July 1st, 1846. 
P. S. Some of our brethren think it inex-' 
pedient to alter the title of the paper, because 
you may obtain subscribers through this dis-
tribution. 
The brethren referred to in the foregoing, 
will see the wishes and expectations of the 
brethren on this subject. 
We trust all who 
are requested to write on the respective sub-
ject indicated, will comply with the request, 
and forward to ,us their communications, as 
soon as may be practicable. 
From the topics 
mentioned, and the brethren who are requested 
to write, we think we can promise a useful 
and instructive sheet. We shall afford it at 
$2 00 per hundred, which is one half. the reg-
ular price of the " Herald." 
Those who 
wish for copies, are requested to forw·ard their 
orders without delay. It is necessary that be-
fore we print it, we should know the number 
of copies that will probably be wanted, so that 
we may know the number to prin~ ; for the 
office is not now in a situation to have left on 
hand a large amount not ordered. 
We design to issue this sheet about the 
first of August. 
We therefore wish to re-
ceive all orders and all communications for it, 
previous to that time. We want those who 
write should be short as practicable, and to 
the point. 
Study to crowd your ideas into a 
short space, so that every line shall contain a 
thought, and every paragraph awaken and 
kindle up the affections of the heart, and in-
terest and instruct the higher faculties of the 
mind. 
But while we request short articles, 
we also request that justice be done to each 
subject. 
We hope all who write will care· 
fully revise, and use the pruning knife on his 
own article. 
By the above, our brethren abroad will know 
what we design and expect, and will act ac-
cording to their own judgment in the premises. 
but still the prayer goes up, and still the 
tion of these articles, that all the papers be-

we had no service. 
The passengers, however, 
The second source of danger, against 
whicll I would warn my brethren, is the 
allurements a 
attractions of the world, as 
well as it care~ and perplexities. 
Tl1at we 
should be expnPed to such dangers, the 
Scriptures, and especially the instruction of 
our Savior, clearly indicate. When speaking 
of the things that would exist prior to, and 
at the time of the Advent, he says, "As the 
days of Noah were so shall also the coming 
of the Son of man be." We turn to that 
eventful period, and we find they were given 
up to sensual pleasures and 
indul~ences, 
11 eating and drinking, marrying," &n. We 
now discover the same prevailing dispo!lition 
in community for pleasurable gratification. 
And perhaps never, in the whole history of 
the world, was there more of a. spirit of 
fleshy indulgence than now. 
The improve-
ments and facilities of the day greatly con-
tribute to its increase: there are more rar· 
ties of pleasure in consequence 
The fatal 
board is furnished with productions from all 
parts of the globe. The most delicious fruits 
have spoken." 
. 
Again, the importance of wakmg up to 
this duty is st:eu when we contemplate the 
effect of examples. We profess to believe 
these truths, how deleteriousour example if 
not li vin,.. as thou!l'h we did believe them. We 
say to tt7e world: you are liable at any mo-
ment to hear the last trump that summons 
us to the judgment.

Bro. Bliss-Dear Sir :-About seventeen 
years ago, I united with the people called 
10 t~1e West Reformers, Disciples, or Camp-
belhtes ; and up to the time I espoused t.he 
Advent doctrine, and opened my house to 
preachers of that faith, I was esteemed a 
goo~ mao, and u orthodox preacher of the 
ancient ~ospel and order of things. 
The 
Reformation preachers made my house their 
home. I lodge•t, fed, and nursed them, and 
all who . called OtJ me, sick or well, of the 
r~format1oo eect. 
And in return for my 
kmdness to them and sacrifices tor the cause, 
they manifeated a warm friendship for me. 
But .so soon as thtly learned that I also en-
tertat.ned Adventists, and was partial to the 
doetrme of the second Advent nigh, they 
became cold, formal, and reserved; and 
finally withdrew from me. 
From this indi-
cation of diapleasure, they proceeded to other 
acts more decisive, of their hostility to me, 
.. , 
-.~ 
craft-the assumptions of the c~ergy, pru-
scription for opinion's sake, and dtvers other 
things into which they have of late run With 
unblushing effrontery. But I forbear to dwell 
longer on their shaweless violation of their 
solemn covenants with God and man. They 
have perfidiously broken them, and the sin be 
upon their heads. 
As a respectable number of churches have 
shut their doors against me-and as there has 
been no formal remonstrances against it by 
an equal nurobAr, I am constrained to con-
sider myself as expelled from the fellowship 
of the body. In the absence of an organized 
ecclesiastical court for the adjudication of 
cases of heresy, there is no other way of 
aiming at a knowledge of their will. 
I am, 
then, excluded from fellowship with the 
Disciples, or Campbellites, for holding and 
propagating sentiments adjudged erroneous 
by Alexander Campbell. These sentiments 
are, 1st. The pre-millennia! coming of 
Christ, an event that may be looked for 
every day. 
2d. That when he comes he 
will raise the righteous dead, and change 
tbe righteous living., and glorify them. 3d. 
That the present heavens and earth may be 
'destroyed by fire, and from the chaotic mass 
will arise a new heavens and a new earth, 
which will be given to the saints for an 
.everlasting inheritance. 4th. On this new 
earth Chnst will found his kingdom, which 
will stand forever. 
His kingdom was not 
set up on the day of Pentecost, as Mr. Camp-
bell supposes. He understands the two resur-
rections described in the 20th of Revelation 
to be spiritual, and the coming of Christ in 
person post millennia!. 5th. I believe and 
te&ch that the New Jerusalem spoken of in 
Revelation to be a real city. 
Mr. Campuell 
says it is merely a figure of a happy state. 
6th. Notwithstanding these points of dif-
ference, I have never made any of them a 
test of fellowship or matters uf controversy 
with my reformation brethren, as they them-
Hives can testify. 
Yet fur refusing basely 
to surrender my· right to teach them, and 
submit to a gag-law, I am excluded from 
their fellowship. 
Thus closes my labors 
with a people with whom I have been identi-
fied for nearly twenty years; and for whom 
and with whom I have suffered much re-
proach. Their boasted unity upon the Bible 
alone vanishes into thin air. 
For consci-
entiously believing and teaching' what they 
do not understand or believe, they exclude 
from their fellowship one of their oldest 
preachers. 
They alledge nothing against 
my Christian character. Although I regret 
to dissolve connexion so long maintained, 
one in which I have enjoyed much pleasure, 
yc,t I cannot but oelieve that I will in the end 
be the gainer by it. 
God in his goodness 
will overrule it for his glory and my benefit. 
Yours looking for the Lord,

LETTER FROM A DEAR BROTHER. 
lJear Bro. Himes :-Time is still bearing 
us on its wings ; week after week flits along, 
and each in turn brings the welcome messen-
ger, "The AdvP.nt Herald," richly ladened 
with tbe "delicacies of the season," 10 suit 
our taste; one feast is scarcely over when I 
feel the keen gnawing or craving appetite 
again looking forward into another week, 
and count the days until again I grasp the 
glad tidings of" the Lord at hand." 
It is sweet to look back a few years and 
see how thJ hand of God has led us through

Wllrd the inheritance, incorruptible ::nd un-

of God through faith. unto salvation, ready 
to be revealed in the last time, wherein we 
greatly rejctice, though. now for a season,

Dear Bro. Himes :-In this place there 
are no Adventists but myself. Bro. Mansfield 
gave a few lectures here some t.ime ago, 
lmt very few would come out to hear him.-
1 have lent and distributed papers and pam-
phlets among those who were disposed to 
read them, but I know of no one who has 
been so much enlightened as to believe the 
second Advent just at hand. 
I lent brother 
Hale's excellent work on the Harmony of 
the Prophecies to a presbyterian clergyman 
who beheves in a spiritual reign.-He read 
it, said " it did not alter his vtews,-he did 
not believe that Christ was coming at all."

fooudest knowledge ofhuma11 nature,devotiog

who, with the most careful circumspection, 
does not steadfastly resist the great enemy," 
'' praying always with all prayer in the 
spirit." 
Bro. M. M. MuMFORD writes from Sac-
carrapa, Maine, June 30th, 1846:-
Dear Bro. Bliss :-1 feel a great interest 
in behalf of the doctrine of the " Second 
Advent," and I trust I shall continue to, 
until it shall no longer be an event for the 
future to reveal, but the great and grar:d 
reality itself shall have been witnessed. 
I 
also feel an interest in the means which are 
taken to proclaim this truth. to the inhabitants 
of the earth. 
The Herald has been an efficient means, 
through the help of God, in proclaiming to 
the sons of men scattered over the wide 
earth, that "The Lord is at hand," and the 
kingdoms of this world are about to become 
" the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ." 
It gives me pleasure here to state that I 
have been and still am gratified with the 
calm, and steady, and consistent course mani· 
rested in the conduct of your paper, amid the 
surrounding element8 of fanaticism and op-
position. I rejoice to see the Herald still at 
its post, declaring the whole truth in this 
great cause. 
The foundation of our hope is immutable 
as its changeless Author. 
Those who con· 
tend against it know not what they oppose. 
"Our Lord will come again." 
This is 
our faith and our hope. 
The s~me glorious 
Redeemer will return to earth to take the 
kingdom, to whom it belongs. 
I give you 
the full assurant!e of my belief, in the language 
of the Herald, that that coming is near, is as 
evident as th.at it is pre-millennia!. 
I trust, 
that our brethren who have gone to foreign 
lands to proclaim the truth, by the help of 
God, will shake the foundations of darkness, 
openillg lhe way for the admission and diffusion 
of light. 
May we be prepared fi>r that great 
and glorious kingdom, the time of whose 
establishment will form1 an era whose equal-
the world has nut seen. 
Bro .. B. N. CHILDS writes from Worces-
ter, Mass., June 20th, 1846 :-
1 want to say to all who are of like pre-
cious faith, to hold on to your confiqence 
steadfast unto the end, for the grace that is 
to be brought unto us at the revelation of 
Jesus Christ from heaven; for I believe that 
t.he tirue is at hand. 
I believe the Advent movement, I mean 
the rational part of it, has been of the Lord. 
Some ~ave run into strange notions, or delu-
sions, which have not beP.n in accordance 
with the Scriptures, nor With common sense 
or reason: but we must pray for them, and 
hope for the best. 
I believe that all the 
honest hearted ones will be brouD"ht to a 
knowledge of the truth. 
We ali. l~ave had 
great trials to pass through since the cry 
was first sounded, and nothing snort of the 
grace of God could have kept us from falling. 
But thanks be to God, through our Lord J e-
sns Chri:st, who giveth us-the victory. 
Our 
trials have been mostly in relation to time; 
but l am as confident as I ever was, that the 
saints do, or will know about when they are 
to possess the kingdom. 
I do not think that 
we are warranted in setting the precise ,Qay. 
nor ever have been; but after seeing certam 
signs, and the fulfilment of certain prophecies, 
we are warranted in saying it is near, even 
at the very doors, which is the only way we 
are e~er to know which have bten given. 
I 
believe we are directed to watch continually, 
thl!.t we may not be disappointed in our ex-
pectation'!. 
I feel to thank the Lord for the 
light that has been shed upon my mind from 
the'word' of the Lord since I first embraced 
the Advent faith. Knowledge has been truly 
increased, and is still increaeing. 
THE CHRISTIAN. 
Tho' the murky waves of pollutednes~ roll, 
(A delight to the wicked and sinful 'soul,) 
The Christian, undaunted, unshrinking, alone, 
Pursues the short journey to heaven his home: 
And .ever as he bends the suppliant knee, 
A fervent prayer ascends, silent and free. 
When dangers are lowering with fearful dis-
play, 
And nought hut trials seem to darken his way, 
Nerved by the arm of Jehovah alone, 
He clings to the cross till the victory is won : 
And his soul IS buorant as ne neareth that 
home, 
· 
Where sin is debarred, nor sorrow can come. 
When the vital sparks of his frame grows 
cold, 
And the body with sorrow and care is old, 
His joy i.s increased in a tenfold rate, 
As he quits the scenes of this mortal state : 
For his is a part in the regions of rest., 
Where the sanctified dwell, and· ever are 
blest.

to law before the unjust: but the sermon 
consisted mostly of an exposition of the last 
verse of the chapter-" Glorify God in your 
body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 
We felt strengthened by reason of this broth-
er's presence, and in the manner that he gave 
the counsel of God to us. 
Truly, what a 
loss the brother must be to the denomination 
that he was formerly with. 
Bro. Bennett 
also 
di~coursed to great ac~eptance,-a 
brother filled with much tenderness, and '>"ith 
the love of God. 
He preached with power 
on this subject, and that this is what will 
make the children of God have "boldness in 
the .day of judgment." The Lord has been 
good to us, for which we feel glad, an& praise 
his holy name, feeling additionally confirmed 
in the Advent nigh," even at the door." We 
mean, by the help of the Lord, to occupy tiU 
he comes. 
The great adversary probably sees that he 
cannot kill the Advent cause, and therefore 
have we not need to look well to his decep-
tions, fearing lest he will succeed in making 
it popular-in some degree with the world 1-
We have need of much watchfulness, and 
prayer to be directed aright by the Spirit of 
God, in order that God may get all the glory. 
Bro. I. ADRIAN, writes from Champlain, 
June 26th, 1846 :-
B1·o.' Himes:-The interest I feel in the 
cause induces me to move my pen in giving 
account of the state of things in these parts. 
The Lord is with us, notwithstanding our 
love of this world. I have lately returned 
from a camp·meeting held at Borgon, N. Y. 
In giving report &f that meeting, I am glad I 
can say the best of feeling prevailed. 
Oh. 
praise the Lord, a happy union, and no ex-
travagances; the power of God was with us, 
sinners were seen weeping on the ground, 
and when pointed to the Savior,they believed. 
I feel that this cause cannot die, and although 
we desert it, yet God will have a people, 
and our places will be filled; it will live, 
until the king c~rnes. 
I. ADRIAN. 
.Bro. A. H. BRICK writes from Fitchburg, 
N. H., July 6th, 1846:-
.Bro. Bliss :-1 feel an interest in the Ad-
vent cause. 
I wish the coming of Christ 
might be proclaimed among those who have 
nut heard, that those who love his appearing 
n:ay be made glad, that they may lift up their 
ht:ads and rejoice, and that some who at 
present may nut love his appearing may be 
alartned at their condition, and be induced to 
turn unto God and live. I wish 1 could aid 
more in the promulg:~tion of this "gospel of 
the kingdorn," but I have not my thousands, 
or even hundreds of dollars, in houses or 
lands, or any orher way ; but I have an in-
Mme of what I can earn with. mv own hands. 
Out of this, what I can spare at this time for 
the English missit~n, I now send to you. 
Bro. J. D. JoHNSON writes from Manlius, 
N.Y., July 4,1846:-
Dear Bro. Bliss :-Brn. Bywater, Pinney, 
and myself, came to this place at the request 
of a few scattered brethren in this region, to 
hold a grove meeting, June 26, Friday, and 
continued over Sunday. Very tew meetings 
have been held here on the subject of the 
Lord's cominrr. 
The result seems to be fa-
vorable. 
Ma~y professors are honestly in-
quiring, Arc these thin.as so 1 Some praise 
God that we came he;e, for the light which 
has been communicated, nnd the spiritual 
meetings thev have enjoyed. 
There is a 
spiritual, dearth among. all denominations in 
this region. Since th~ meeting in the grove, 
where, the Lord willing, we expect to holol 
meetings to-morrow, (Sunday,) we have held 
meetinrrs every evening at 6 o'clock in this 
place, ~n the steps o( the Methodist meeting-
house, a very good place, while the people 
are quite attentive and respectful. We have 
no offer of a meeting-house, although there 
are four in the viliage, which is~ about a mile 
from the grove. 
Singing is our bell. I trust 
that good will be done, notwithstanding many 
in the sects say almost all manner of evil of 
ns falsely. I am more pleased with the plan 
of out-door preaching of Wesley and others, 
than I ever thought I could be for myself.-
It has many advantages. 
The novelty of 
the scene draws out many who would not at-
tend otherwise, and are most generally inter· 
ested, especially when there is good spiritual 
singing. 
Much good might be done in this 
way in new places, by those who would go 
out like a Whitefield, full of faith and the 
Holy Ghost. 
We have many calls which 
we cannot supply.

Revolution in Mexico !-Paredes DP.posed! 
-Restoration of the Constitution !-Santa .llna 
Recalled !-The New Orleans Picayune of the 
24th ult. gives the following important intelligence 
from Mexico:-" We received yAstcrday a copy 
of El Locomotor, of Vera Cruz, of the 8th inst. 
which i:~ four days later than any ad vices received 
by the Falmouth. The news is important. 
A 
revolution had brol,en out in the Department of 
Jalisco. It commencAd on the morning of the 
20th uf May in the city of Guadalaxara. 
The 
battallion of Logos, followed by other bodies of 
military and by the enthusiastic populace, attacked 
the palace of the Governor. 
The assault of the 
insurgents was so prompt, that the guard had only 
time to make one discharge, by which one man 
was killed and one wounded. 
Some of the de-
fenders recognized frit:mds among the assailants, 
and refused to fire. 
The disatlection then be-
came general, and some of the leaders of the 
Government troops were arrested, to save them 
from the fury of the insurgents. 
Some skirmish-
ing ensued, and preparations were making for 
a general engagement, when General Duque, 
who had taken command of the Government 
troops, prop<•sed a parley. 
Thi;; was agreed to, 
and the result of the deliberation wao~ that the 
troops under General Duque should be allowed 
to retire with the honou of war, by a route de-
signed by them, directly to the city of Mexico. Pro-
vidions were given them, and they were allowed 
till tha 22d to prepare for their departure. 
Don Jose Maria Tanez was at the head of the 
insurrection. 
A f!'rmal declaration was drawn 
up Jjy the insurgents, proclaiming Santa Ana their 
Chief, and declaring that a new Congre~s should 
be summoned tu be elected by the people, accord-
ing to the electoral laws of 1824, to form a new 
con~titution, in which the monarchial principle is 
to be excluded. 
It also provides that the Con-
gress should meet four month~ after the liberat-
ing army shall gain pos~ession uf the CapitaL-
Don Juan Camplido is recognized as provisional 
Governor of the Department, and his oath in-
cludes the "repulsing of the infamous usurpation 
of the Americans.'' 
. 
On the 6th, Com. Ingraham, of the United 
States brig Somers, received despatches from 
thll Yucatan Congress, proclaiming their neutral-
ity in the pending war .. The Somers sailed the 
same evening for Vera Curz. 
A letter from an officer of the U. S. squadron 
in the Pacific, dated at Mazatlun on the 19th of 
May, which says that the news of Thornton's 
capture had just reached them, and they were to 
s:.til the next day, or the day nfter, to plant the 
American flag in California, by the capture of 
Monterey and San Francisco. 'lhey had taken 
on board on the 19th a large number of shovels, 
spades, and axes, from which the writer in-
ferred that it was intended to throw up fortifica-
tions at those places, in the capture of which 
they anticipated no more oppo5ition than Commo-
dore· Jones met with in the capture of Monterey 
a few years since. 
The frigate Congress had not 
yet joined the squadron. 
Great Fi·re at St. John's, .Nt>.w Bru.nsiJJiclc.-
At an early hour in the morning of June 27th, 
the bl_!)ck of building;> in the parish of Portland, 
owned hy Me!'srs. Harris & Allan, and occupied 
by them as a foundry, workshops, &c., was dis-
covered to be on fire ; and the flames havina 
gained much headway before being observed, th~ 
whole were destroyed, with nearly all their con-
tents, consjsting of a valuable steam engine, pat-
t6rns, moulds, lathes, &c. The entire loss to 
the enterprising owners cannot be less than, if it 
does not exceed, $40,000. 
The Pope departed this life on the 1st of June. 
His Holiness had been indisposed during the last 
week of May, but on the 28th or 29th of that 
month he was deemed by his physicians perfectly 
r«1covered. 
· Tbe member of the Sacred College most like-
ly to succeed Pope Gregory XVI. is the Cardinal 
Franzoni, Prefect of the Congregation of the ProP-
aganda. 
He is, however, considered friendly to 
the Jesuits, and will be, of course, opposed by 
France. 
Great agit:ttion continues to prevail in differ-
ent parts of this country, especially in the Papal 
States, and it is to be feared that outbreaks will 
take place. 
The account that 300 French pri8oners had 
been put to death in Algeria is confirmed. 
.Mar-
shal Bugeaud was positively on the eve of return-
ing to France, and remaining there. 
The Duke 
d'Aumale had arrived in Algeria. 
The South American Wars.-Just before the 
Britannia left Liverpool, a vessel arrived from 
Montevideo, bringin;; accounts of General Rive-
ra's return to that city, and the commotion that 
was raised by his presence. The English papers 
said that messengers came in this vessel from 
Mr. Ouseley, to urge the speedy transmission of 
more troops. 
But the London Chronicle affirms 
that the steam frigate Devastation made steam 
for Buenos Ayres on the 25th of May, having on 
board a Mr. Hood, charged with instractions for 
the speedy and final arrangment of all the difficnl-
tiea in tho Rio de Ia Plata. It must be confessed 
THE ADVENT HERALD. 
that Mr. Ouseley and Baron Deffaudis have made 
a bad business of it. 
More than six thou~and dollari! had been sub-
scribed at Haliti•x for the sufferers by the fire at 
St. John's, and subscriptions were. still goiug on. 
Vessels had left Halifax with provisions, &c. for 
the destitute inhabitants, 
The steamer L'nicorn had arrived from St. 
John's, and confirms the accounts previously pub-
lished of the destruction of property, and mi6ery 
among those burnt out.

" Mille1·ism " Winding up.-A correspon-
dent of the N. Y. Observer savs-" Last 
week as I was passing through the western 
part of Hamilton Co., 0., in a most lovely 
grove, I saw an encampment, much like 
the gipseys' camps on au Euglish common. 
I tied my horse and alliedto a group of 
men engaged in putting up a ''ter.t.'' I in-
quired what. was the object of the enr.:unp-
ment, and soon found, that this was the spot 
where the ·• Adventists" are tt congregatA 
and wait till the world, with its wicked in-
hahitants, is to be consumed. 
They are 
gathering in from different !Jiaces; a group 
had just arrived from Cleveland, .Ohio, anoth-
er, which had taken up with the 'Shakers ' 
in an adjacent village, was expected. It is 
a second edition of Mormonism. 
They ap-
peared to have no property; considered that

They expect tile dissolution of all things in 
a few days-' the children of the first resnr-

came tu a farm house near the camp and in-
quired more about these deluded fanatics. 
The old German farmer remarked, 'they 
are de false prophets dat de Scripture talks 
of. 
J know ·one thing, I shall st'e dat mine 
.cellar and barn he well 
fa~tened.' They 
number ahout 35 men, women, and children. 
Their appearauce is squalid and dejected, 
and they are evidently iaboring under a strong 
and wretched delnswn."

no reason to question, with the excer:tion that 
they were "Adventists." 
Why the J>rinci-
pal religious papers persist iu attributing all 
the fanaticism that exists to the•Adventists, 
we cannot conceive. Those persons of whom 
they speak are Shal<ers, and are no more 
Adventists than they are Preshyterians or 
Dutch Reformed. This pen1isting in calling 
them what they are not, we cannot recon-
cile with moral honesty. It shows a moral 
obliquity that is inconsistent with the near 
expectation of the Millennium.

Many of our friends have visited the picture, 
and we have heard bot oue opinion expressed 
in reference to it, both as a work of art, and 
for its n10ral effect. It is truly a great master 
work of genius. Grand in conception, sur-
prisingly perfect in execution, the eolorina 
brilliant and beautiful, the anatomy and draw: 
ing correct, the representation of character 
accurate, the expression varied and striking, 
and the whole effect grand and sublime. It 
has been visited by immense numbers, some-
times 700 in a day, and we truly rejoice in 
its abundant success ; for we feel that it is 
calculated to improve the mind and better 
the heart of every person who beholds it.
