Henry Ward Beecher preach. The services were opened by singing the hymn commencing, ‘As bigh as the heavens are raised above the ground we tread.” Taking as his text the and 5th verses of the 12th chapter of Romanus, Mr. Beecher commanded the closest attention for an hour or moze, dwelling at some length upon the subject of Christian unity as | inst * unity of the mere outward forms of religion. It is the part of true Christianity to exercise et eye and love toward all mankind, no less to the criminal and outcast then the upright. As the parent prefers the comfort and welfare of its offspring to its own, so man should desire the welfare of his fellow-man. We should not let our abherrence of crime and immorality de- a our sympathy for the criminal! and un- godly. At the close of the services a collection was taken up for the benefit of a poor widow living in the vicinity of the Twin Mountain House, who was left the death of her has- band with 8 mortgaged farm end a large family of echildre: The sermon was pronounced one of Mr. Beecher’s most succersful efforts.

Beecher bad an attack of heart disease, to which she is subject, and had to be taken from church. THE Hostile SAVAGES—Fighting the Troops with Fire.—A special from Wichita agency says fighting with the Kiowas and Naconies, which began three weeks Ve was continued in a desuitory manner until the morning of the 25th. The Indians, in bands ranging from fifty to five hundred in number, made 8 series of dashes on General Davidson’s outposts and set fire to the prairie grass to destroy the buildings of the agency, but all their attempts were defeated and the Indians finally fled westward, hegre! off their killed and wounded. ° The tire, w! ek sometimes was as bigh a. the treetops, was sub- dued after great effort by the troops and the buildings saved. General Davidson has induced the friendly Caddoes, Wich tas, Comanches, Keches, Tawacomies, and other tribes to return to their reservations. Two additional companies arrived at Wichitaon the 25th. The Kiowas and Naconies had murdered several white men on the , and the bodies of four had been brought into camp riddled with arrows and hor- ribly mutilated. —<—_—_____.

Editor Evening Star: Having remained at the Thousand Isiands the time allotted by our p-o- gramme, on Sunday morning, the Schof Aug ast, took the Canadian steamer Qorsican for Montreal, a distance of 140 miles. We were ac- companied from this point by Dr. J. D.Jacxson, of Danville, Ky. On this boat there was quits large number—perhaps 250 or 300—of passe: gers, chiefly from the United States, who hal been visiting Niagara, and were extending their excursion to Montreal, Quebec and the White Mountains, &c. The weather was warm, but breeze upon the made it deligatful, and during the day nearly all the passengers congregated upon the decks to view the scener¥ and tl we were passing, pointing out to each other the beauties they were constantly discovering, and particalarly to be in readiness to eajoy the novel sensation ie DRIFTING DOWN THROUGH THE RAPIDS that are eo remarkable @ feature of travel on the St. Lawrence. These rapids form so proa inent @ part of the special attraction to the tourist upon tis river that they deserve some erpecial meution. first rapid is a few miles below Prescott. It continuous for abont nine miles, and Ix known as the “Long Sault.” The stream throughout the falls is exceedingly rough, with a rolling, billowy motion that heaves and tosses the water into @ foam, and the boat is rocked upon it to and fro, ina very perceptibls man ner, reminding you of the motion of a heavy sea; but the wat being deep, the boat bailt specially for this service, the engines strong, and the pilot famiiiar with the channel, no cou- siderable danger seems to be apprehended, and as the boat rushes down with wonderful rapidity one experiences @ sense of great delight. No accident has ever occurred to the passenger boats on these rapids that have involved the loss of life. A canal for the accommodation of freight boats descending and ascending the river, as well as for all ascending crafts, has been built around these falls. The first pa: through these falls by steam was about 1810, and was run under the guidance of an Indian pilot, Tarouhiahere by name. The canal is nearly 12 miles in length, with seven locks, and of suf- ficient width to accommodate any vessel trading on the river. The actual descent for the twelve miles amounts to forty-eight feet. Al- though there are eight rapids around which canals are built, the next one in importance is the Cecar Split Rock Cascade rapids, which is alzo about 12 miles in length. Around this there is also a canal, which hag nine locks and an actual descent of eighty-two anda half feat. The last and perhaps most dangerous of these rapids to oes er is that of the «Ls Chine,” which is nearly nine miles in lenzth and has a fall of forty-five feet. A canal is als> bailt around this, which bas fire locks. On ap- proaching the latter rapids the whistle is blown as & signal for THE INDIAN PILOT “ nAPTISTE” te come aboard for the purpose of steering the boat through the rapids. He has been piloting for the last thirty years, and is about fifty years of age, with a large and powerful form and an intelligent f It is reported that the in- surance company makes it a condition of their insurance, that he alone shall pilot boats co ed by their policies through these rapid This is, I apprehend, a mere fiction, tol for effect. The whole fall or descent in ‘the river ‘St. Lawrence trom the head of the Thousand Islands to Montreai is 231 feet. In passin; down the river the boat landed at a number ot thriving towns and villeges, Prescott being the largest on the Canadian side, and Ogdensburg on the American side; at the latter, however, we did not land. At some points the riv spreads out into large and very considerable lakes, of which Lake St. Francis ts the most notable. Tere is one large and important island in ft, known as ** Nan’s Island,” which rises perhaps seventy-five feet above the water and ts beautifully cultivated, and contributes to the support of one of the principal convents of Montreal. Ip passing through Lake St. Francis we cateh the first glimpse of the mountains back of Mon- treal, to which Champlain, the tint explorer, gave the name of “ Royal Mountain,” and from which the eity itself has derived its name. Casting the ey in a southeastern direction, the “adircndack Mountains” are seen rising high above the horizon, sixty or cighty miles distant A carry. On a+wall island, about midway of the lake, in front of the village of Lancaster, I believe, 0: the left bank, stands, I think, the only cairn ever erected in America, except the ones erected since the rebellion to the confederate dead, in the cemetery at Richmond.

The towers, of “hich there are two, both stone, reach a height of 220 feet, and from them a fine view may be had of the city and harbor and many surround- ing villages. In one of these towers is hung THE GREAT PRLL, the largest in America, weighing nearly 30,000 pounds. It isonly used for striking alarms of fire. In the other tower there is a chime of smaller bells. Bonsecour market, in which are also the mu- nicipal offices, is a handsome stone stracture and a unique institution; the lower stories of which are well sdapted for a public market. Among the other buildings of note in the city of Montreal may be mentioned the new court- house, post-office, McGill college. the English catbedra!, Place d’Armes, Hotel Dieu Hospital, the Mount Royal Cemetery, the Gray Nuonery La Chine canal, as the principal points visited by the tourist. The hotels, which are large and comfurtable, at this searon espectally, are ex tensively patronized by American tourists, hundreds of whom arrive and depart daily. ‘The stores and shops are handsome and seem to be well stocked with a good qaality of wares. We inferred thet the Americans do a very con- siderable smonnt of shopping while in this city. Tourists will find it to their advantage in an economical way to obtain gold for immediate use while in Canada. It is true that at hotels and in the large stores U. 8. bank notes will be taken at the lar disconnt, but without coin > cannot well pay backmen, porters and a undred other lit expenses. The cheap, yet respectable, MANNER OF DRESSING adopted by the Canada people is to be admired. The fabric of the clothing worn both by the gentlernen and ladies does not, as a general thing, cost one-third of that worn by our trades. men and bumness people in the states. ‘The population ot Mo: 5 h a curious mixture of French, English, S Irish and Awmerican, is still largely fashioned after the French element. It is curious to notice that while the physicians are mostly of English ori- gin, the legal }d clerical professions are evi- dently mainly French. This fact may perhaps be accounted for by the circumstance that the English government has faithfully observed the provisions of the treaty by which Canada was transferred to 4t, whereby their own law and religion were guaranteed to the French settiers of the colony. It is well known that the laws and usages of a people are more permanent in their character than are the physical sciences, and that upon the condition of the latter rests the efficiency of the medical profession. The advance of the medical pyofession and the physi- cal selence in Canada, we are inclined to be- eve, keeps pace with the other parts of the world. Theology claims to be perfect, law to be conservative, and therefore little or no pro- gress is made hy either, while medicine is one of the progressive sciences. T FRANK Moulton Prints a Carp.—Frank Moulton printed # card on Saturday, stating that he notified the Ueecher committee that he ‘as ready to Le cross-examined at any time, bat the committee took no notice of his offer conse- quently be went to Plymouth church Friday night, baying a right there as a member of the eburch. After bearing the misrepresentatrons in the report he sent a note to the moderator, requesting to be heard, but was not permitted Moulton says he will have all the Beecher let- ters printed; end conclades bis card as follows: “I will add that the hearing which was last night denied to me in the place where I had the best right to demand and expeet it, I shall ask for from the pubilc at large in a few days. Tbe only delay in publication will arise from tbe preparation of fac simile copies of letters papers, including Mr. Beecher’s written certificate of Mr. Raymond's safe and trust- worthy ignorance of the case. I have songht tor four years, for the sake of the innocent chil- dren of the two families, to shield Beecher from the exposure of his crime of adultery. Beecher, Lis committee and his church have united to compel me, for my own self-protection, to re- vea! him to theworld, as 1 shall shortly do, in a still worse light than he now stands.” Several interviews with Moulton were pub- lished in the Brooklyn papers Saturday atter- noon, in which be declares be will prove Beecher a wilful and adulterous liar; and will prove ail other charges he has made agaiust bim. He also stated that he bad heard Bowen charge Beecher with adultery. Moulton de- clared that Beecher made a coufession to him of having bad criminal intercourse with a laly of his congregation, but this lady was not Mr Tilton; but even after this Moulton claims he held bis peace by reason of his personal friend- ship tor Beecher. Tae Race TROUBLES ty Tuz SovTH.—Tron- ble with the negroes continues in some parts of the south. A body of 800 recently assembled at Conshatte, Red Kiver Parish, La., and greatest alarm and excitement ’ prevailed throughout the whole upper Ked river esunt: The object of the gathering was not stated. Conshatte was guarded by 200 white men, who called for help, and aid was sent from Cotton Point and from Meriden. The black popu!a- tion ef Red River Parish outnumbered the whites three to one, and Conshatte is fifty miles from the nearest telegraph station. The latest dispatch states that the whites affected the ar- rest of the white ringleaders of the negroes, and that two negroes and one white man were killed, and ove white man seriously wounded. The threatened conflict then terminated. Itis said the negroes at Woocache Valley, Alabama, beld recret meetings last week and prepared to attack the whites, but their plan was revealed by an old negress. When the negroes made an atteck they were driven back and four killed They tien burned two churches and left. W2aT A CATHOLIC Missionary TOLD Gen. SREEIDAN AzovT THE BLack HILLs.—Gen. Sheridan says that about fifteen years ago he met on the Columbia river, in Oregon, Father De Smett, a Catholic missionary, who had traveled the length and breadth of the un- expiored Northwestern Territories. He was acquainted with every tribe, and knew their recrets, and he then told the General of ~~ diggings of surpassing richness in the neighbor- hood of the Biack Hilis.
