A New Translation of the Bible and Extraor- dinary Results Looked For. THH TOMB OF JONAH. A HERALD special correspondent, dating in Mosul, supplies the foliowing valuable and highly interest- ing communtcation, the facts having been annoted almost entirely ‘amidst the bricks of Nineveh:”"— Religion. Mosox, May 18, 1870. Apart from its proximity to the remains of Nine- veb, there is little mdeed to attract the general traveller to visit the city of Mosul, Thanks to its position on the Tigris, and the industry of its inhabit- apts, it can boast of a population of 40,000 or 50,000, ‘Who are reputed to be very wealthy, As a city 1t differs in no respect from the general Oriental pat- tern—narrow streets, square, fiat-roofed houses, straight, vaulted bazaars, turbaned men, veiled Women and an abundance of donkeys. It is simply smaller edition of Bagdad, or Bassorah, or Aleppo. To Americans It 18 also of some Interest, as having been the scene of twenty years of American mission- ary labor, Outside the walls, in the cemetery where Europeans are usually interred, a dozen or more of simple graves contain the remains of such among the missionaries as have here Quished their career, Iam sorry, however, to have to add that this is almost the only trace of the former operations of the mission. Six years ago the fleld was abandoned, and though there ts still a small Protestant church, numbering some sixty or seventy members, it is constantly growing smaller, and a few more years ‘Will almost certainly witness its total extinction. Upon the population in general no impression Whatever was made by twenty years of conscien- tious, earnest labor, The Europeans here, indeed, speak of the American missionaries with great re- #pect, but they add that the work in which they ‘were engaged was one In which success cannot be hoped for, Such converts as were made came from a Christian charch—the Nestorians; there 1s not an instance on record of a Mussulman having been drawu over to the true falth. Surikingly different to this somewhat sad story of wasted effort is the brilliant success of the French mission of the Dominican Fathers, This misslov numbers several thousand converts, and is now erecting a handsome chureh—an erection which, when finished, will be the most imposing edifice in Mosul. One need not seek far, however, for the ex- planation of this difference. The people in Mosul upon Whom both missions have exclusively directed their proselytising batteries are Kastern Christians, Whose ritual and creed varies but slightly from those of the Churen of Rome. From one church to the other is indeed but a step, and the Christians of ‘Mosul have the strongest of secular reasons to make it; for, let them but once become Catholics, and the French government, which 1s represented here by @ full Consul, will go any length to protect them, while, if they become Protestants, they are, rather more defenceiess than before, Jor they are disowned by the Church: they leave, while the heads of te Chureh they join have no poliucal influence what- Iu should be remembered that the Dominican ers have falled among the Mussulman a8 com- pieiely as the American imission has done: te; caunot boast a single convert. In zeal and pa- ence and unseifishness of purpose both mussious are equal One among te Domini- hers IMdeed renounced the most brilliant in the mission. He was house surgeon at the Hospital Si.

Who can wonder that the Mosiem cannot be converted to wie religion of the cross? “A MEDICAL 8!

Two Arab viliages now stand near tis mound; but the one called Khorsabad 1s the nearest and largest, and to this we proceeded In or- der to procure a local guide and leave our horses, After sitting in the Shetkh’s house long enough to smoke out a sebeel and wateh some half a dozen Arab damsels (very pretty, with cleanly-cut, intelli- gent features and clear complexions) spin out a iew yards of cotton yarn from their wheels, we all— Sheikh, Thomas’ and some dozen villagers—ad- journed to ihe mound. THE TOP OF THE MOUND. The top of the mound 1s still pierced with scores of huge shafis, and the passages Ino the mound are perfectly visible, though so filled up with earth, Washed down by the rats, that a man can scarcely crawl through them. Having brought candles es- pecially jor the purpose we ventured in a little way; but the earthen arches over our leads seemed 80 shaky, and the Arabs (from the outside) so joudly procialimed the peril In which we were pracing our- selves, and, above aW, there was so evidently noth- ing to see, that we came out again, Lying about the mound, in ge direction, are fragments of sculpture exhumed by M. Botta, but left behind as being too valueless or too heavy to carry away. The best of these is a colossal horse with feathered wings and breast of conch shells, but With the head broken off.

Leaving Khorsabad the Arabs told us to call on our way back at a little hill wuich they pointed out to us, and which they satd contained @ much finer liguve than any we had seen, Cantering smartly for- ward we soon reached the mound indicated. It was some hundred feet in height and covered with grass. A flock of sheep, shaggy with a year’s fleece, were grazing at its base, tended by ainan and a conple of boys, allof whom were armed with the crook familiar to the readers of pastural romances, Mounting the hill and descending a huge exca- vation, & treat, indeed; awatted us. fe were face to tace with an enormous marble figure, whose front aione, some twelve or fifteen fect in height, was open to view, though pas- sage oneach side led into the mound round it and enabled us to see that it was some twenty or twenty- tive feet in length. It is indeed one of the iwo or three figures which Messrs. Layard and Hotta ex- humed and admired and wished to carry away, but were unable to do so on account of their weight, The figure is iat of a bull or a horse, whichever auti- quarians have di , the breast covered with conch shells, the shoulders adorned with feath- ered wings, aud (he head buman in slape, with As- syrian features and a huge curled beard, The head is crowned. All round the sides of the figure there are long cuneiform inscriptions. The carving, as with the figures at the other mound, is still as per- fect a8 when first chiselled. JONAW’S GRAVE. _I had almost forgoiten to say that at the village of Nineveh the spot where the miraculous gourd grew is stil pointed out. The same spot, according to Moslem tradition, is the site of Jonan’s grave, and a mosque, not very handsome, has been erected upon it, We succeeded, after a great deal of trouble, in getting an order from the Pacha to view the interior, and, greatly to the disgust of the guardian of the shrine, he had to let us in, making us, however, take off our boots, and grumbling loudly that never before had a Christian foot deiiled the mosque. But we saw nothing worth deseribing. The reouted tomb is covered up With rich draperies, which are never re- moved. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. Politics in New York—Republican Expecta- tions Suggestive to Democratic Leaders—De Witt C. Littlejoin for Governor—The Catho- lies and the Democratic Vote. [From the Penn Yan (Yates county, N.Y.) Chronicle (republican), June 23.) If the republican party of this State proposes to Maintain its life, and give tts proper share of ilte to the national supremacy of repubitcan principles, a vigorous contest for the control of the State at the Gubernatorial and Congressionai election the coming fall is indispensable, We have a majority of the legal voters of the Staie, and ought not to le down and die out becanse a gang of freebooters in the city of New York have cheated us out of two or three of the past elections. What we want 18 pluck, a live State Committee, a good candidate for Governor and a fighting, aggr: sive determination to win back what belongs to us. Pluck will be the growth of the occasion if we show that we open the contest lefts The State Committee should be appointed by the Chairman of the State Convention, without reference to geography. It should not be large, but should be pono of men entirely true ana vigorous as sieel. ‘The candidate for Governor should be a man abreast of tne times, identified with the progress of ihe State, with a world of faith and energy and bound to win. We have a strong suspicion thas De Witt C. Litilgoim couid poll more votes than any other man; because he is a wide-awake man, an able man and identified with interests involving in a large degree the prosperity of the State, and certain to add largely to its wealth and power. He is positive and earnest, has large experience in public affairs, and would make an excellent Governor, Where 1s the mau that would make @ more ayatlable candi- date for 1870? live Issue will be found in the question of secta- rian appropriations, not that we wish to cultivate sectarian prejudices or array one religious interest agalust another, But the alliance of the democratic party and the Catholic hierarchy 18 unwholesome in Ais fruits and always must be. It should be broken up. It could be broken up by putting democratic sincerity to the saie test that dissoived their uillance with the slaveholders, When their day of trial came the siaveholders found thetr democratic alliance was useless to them. So the Cathoiics wil find when the final trying test 1s applied. It will prove an advantage to them to find inat they wrong themselves in giving their entire support to one political party, and especially such a party as the democrats. There is no jee in such an alliance. Such Js the mstinctive feeling of the peo- ple, and they will eagerly rally to give it expres- jon. The State Convention should be called carly and active measures adopted to carry the State. Political Notes. Colonel L. W. Humphrey has deciined being a can- didate for Congress on the conservative ticket in the Second North Carolina district, on account of nis failing health. In regard to the late election in Oregon the Port- land Herald (democratic) says:—‘‘In view of the im- mense agencies which co-operated against the demo- cratic party of Oregon at the late election, we deem the triumph achieved by that party one of the grand- est victories recorded in the history of our State politics.” But, notwithstanding this triumph, the demvcrats do not seem inclined to take a “Holla- day.” THE NEGRO MILITIA IN NEW ORLEANS.—Some few negro militia comganies have been formed in the city, and we have already very uuwelcome porteuts in their insolent, not to say btoodthirsty, bearing towaras white people.

Desugue, lowa, June 22, 1870, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— ‘The past week was ushered in by Trintty Sunday. Services were held in St. Jonn’s Episcopal church both morning and evening. The service was read by Rev. Mr. Judd, principal of Lee Seminary, and by Rev. Charles L. Lymour, rector; sermons by the Right Rev. Henry W. Lee, Bishop of the diocese of Towa. To say that both sermons were deep, logical and appropriate to the day, is but a plain fact, The whole was full of glowing eulogium, Brilliant, burn- ing metaphors gushed forth at every sentence, and the ear and taste of the most fasdidious rhetorician Jound nothing Wanting.

It was all that rare and costiy plants and flowers, brilliant music and rich song could 8 st to make it attractive. The music was all exquisite, but we must speak of the eigit-hand per- formance of four young ladies of the school, a charm- ing song by Miss Woodruff, of Independence, Iowa, and of the brilliancy of song by Mrs. Charles Kogers, @ petite brnnette, Who would do credit to an audi- ence of any size that Parepa or Kellogg might. The pubuc schools are closing this week with examina- tions. Ali the schools have fine corps of teachers. Memorial Charch to General Washington. To THE EpiTor or THE HERALD:. We have learned that recently the idea of building a church memorial of General Washington has heen suggested by some patriotic, and, we presume, pions lady in Philadelpina. She proposes to build it in the county of Westmoreland, Virginia, in which Wash- ington was born. The 1dea strikes us as being a good one and suggestive of a commendable spirit of pa- trlotism. Whatever feelings may have been pro- duced by the terrors and sufferings of the late war, we cannot forget that those who regard the early Revolution as the source of all American prosperity and happiness must attribute to that great and good man more of the credit of success than to any other. In contemplating his chatacter and achieve- ments we lose sight of more recent events. All must delight to honor him, and no one has ever yet feit justified in refusing to pay tribute to his memory. In colonial times there were five Pana pal churches in Westmoreland, Pope’s Creek church was nearest to the birthplace of Washington, and it ts supposed ils family worshipped there, The churches were Yeocomico, Nomint, Pope’s Creek, Round Hill Leeds. Of these Bishop Meade says, in his “Old Churches and Families of Virginia’’:—Where are now the venerable churches? Pope's Creek, Round Hill, Nomin:. Leeds—where are they? Yeocomico only survives the general wreck. Of the old men, mansions, churches, &c., we are tempted to say, *Fuit Ilium, et ingens gioria bar danium,’ And yet we rejoice to think that new ones have taken their places, in some respects bet- ter suited to present times and circumstances, Those who in the general defection have remained true to the Church are exerting themselves to repair the waste places; and we trust there awaits for Westmoreland a greater glory than the former.” In regard to the new churches that have taken the ae of the old ones the Bishop was in error, Even the spot where Pope’s Creek stood cannot Witit certainty be designated. There are now no Episcopalians in its vicmity, and for the evidences of a church there we must look only to history. It 1s true that a new (comparatively) brick church has been built on the site of the old ‘Nomini chureh, bur none upon those of the others, A few Episcopal churcbes have oeen built im other places in the county, but these are languishing and show but few signs of aly Indeed, epee one looks over the pasi history of Virginia, her churches, her institutions and her once proud position, the exclamation seems involuntary ‘“Fuit Ilium, et ingens gloria Dar- danium.” At one time every county had its mas- sive Episcopal church, built in the most substantial manner, sliowlig them to have been the religious re- sort for the people of wealth and standing in the State. Now most of these have crumbled into dust, leaving no stone to mark the spots from which eurnest prayers once ascended to heaven. Even the materials of the new churches, so unsubstantial, seem to say, “We are rapidly passing away and s00n the Episcopal Church ta Virginia will be no more.” Many counties 1u Which in former days there were several Episcopal churches now have none, and com- paratively few of their inhabitants can point a stranger to any spot where there was once one. In view of tus state of the Church in Westmoreland it has occurred to us that if there is really any desire upon the part of the American people to build a church in memory of Washington no plaee could be More suitable thaa the site of Yeocomico church, and insicad of building @ new church repair this one, Of course Pope’s Creek church, having been the place of resort of the Washington family, that spot would naturally suggest itself as the one most suitable. But there are no Epis- copallaus there now, and the church wouid not be attended. Washington used to attend Yeocomico, and tradition says he was bap- tized there. Being the only old church left in the county, it seems by far the most appropriate place for those who are laudatores temporis actt to conse- crate to the memory ofan early and attractive epoch in the history of the charch and of the country. ‘This chureh is now out of tepair, but by a recent es- timate of an Engitsi archil€ct, who has settled in its neighborhood, an expenditure of $1,400 would but it im perfect order. The original wall surround- ing the yard oi the church 1s in good repair, and averages about four feet of thick, solid masonry. The church was built in 1706. Over one door in the bricks is cut @ rose; over another the Scotch thistle. In 1813 Captain Wiliam L. Rogers, of New Jersey, of the Thirty-sixth regiment of United States in try (Colonel Carberry), came to the county with his com- pany to watch the movements of the enemy on the Potomac. Aiter remaining on the river for a time he moved into the forest for a better camping ground, and ciancing to pass along the road on which this church stands, and being attracted by the lovely site of the old church, pitched lus camp there, It Was then not used and was rapidly going to decay, At once the soldiers were set to work to clear away the rabbish and repair the damages of time and ‘neglect as far as they could. When this company left there was no one to care for the church, and again the hand of decay and ruin feil upon it. In 1820 Captain Rogers again returned to the county and visited this place, which had become a spot of great interest to him. Finding the churen still gving down, he suggested the idea of thor- oughly renovating it to Mr. John Murphy, “a@ Scotch gentleman trom Ayrshire, living ‘at Ayrtield, halt a mile distant from Old Yeocomieo, Whose estate of some thousands of acres surrounded ine and barial ground on all sides; aud they interested others, ana by their united efiorts pat the church, yard and wall in good order. Since then nothing of consequence has been done to it, but of such sab-tantial maverial is it built that the wails and timbers are in perfect repair. Oaptain Rogers is now dead, but this church js and always will be a place of great interest to tis family, still esiding in New Jersey (Prmeeton). There i anoiner Norihern family whose early history is iniimately connected with this old church. It is the family of the late Dr, stine Sunith, of New York—a gentieman of uittvated and refined. In the year 1778 and in 1776 we are told Kev, Thomas Smnth was its minister, and erher “before or a lum Kev, Augustine Sinith was its minister.” ‘Tcze ininisters had charge of the two churehes in Cope parisu—Yeovomico and Nomini—anad resided at the Giebe, on a of (hat name, an old structure of brick, bul iu te Old viyieg the me Dr, Jom | Augastine Smith married Miss Letty Lee, daughter aire Life, of Sq of Lee Hall.

The County Cavan (Ireland) Mission. One of the most successful private missions that has for many years past appealed to the patriotic and religious feelings of our fellow Irish citizens has just concluded by the recall of Rev. John Boylan, parish priest of Crosserlaugh, of the county referred to above, Father Boylan came here on behalf of a call for aid on the re-erection of Kilmore College, of his native town, an institute that has been singularly successful in cdu- cating students for the ministry and perfecting others for, the learned professions and higner walks ot life, ‘The reverend gentleman and his as- soclates met in this city and throughout the coun- try and Canada hosts of friends, who contrivufed, iv may be fairly said, with unprecedented liberality towards the object Fattier Boylan had so much 4 heart, His recall was unexpected and almost pre- mature, for the field had not been gone iore than half over and a richer harvest remained to be gathered.

A commission issuing out of the Supreme Court of the State of New York to inquire into the alleged lunacy and unsoundness of mind of George F. Von Beck, @ resident of Rondout, is now in session at Kingston. ‘The petitioners are Mr. and Mrs, Gifford, of New York, son-in-law and daughter, and George F. Von Beck, Jr., son of George F. Von Beck by a second wife, THE ALLEGED LUNATIC. Major George F. Von Beck is, it is claimed, a descendant of the German nobility, and about seventy years of age. His careef has been a very marked and checkered one, Receiving his education ‘at one of the best of German universities he gradu- ated with high honors, and at an carly age chose the profession of civil engineer, and was one of four persons who resurveyed the boun- dary lines between France and Germany, His services on this occasion were duly Tecoguized end highly appreciated by the government, and he was presented with @ gold medal by the King of Bavaria, He afterward went to Spain and joined the Spanish army im the War against France, holding a commission as an oMcer on the staf of the commanding general. Dur- ing the war he received a severe wound iy the side, which incapacitated him for further service. He then returned to Faderiand, where ne married, and shortly alterward was made Mayor of Salzburg, which position he filled with honor and dignity for several years, He took an active part in one of the revolutions whieh have periodically shaken t or man principalities, and upon the unsuccessful ter- minauon of the struggle ne was forced to flee the country. Leaving his wife and five cnildren behind, he sailed for America, landing in New York with very little money and no friends, his estates in the Old Cowmry having beea’ confecated by the King. After searching arcund New York ior employ and finding none, voneladed to invest What little money he hed in a land organ, wnd tent of kingly favors became AN ORGAN GRINDER, and lor several mouths ground out his daily sub- sistence in that tmpecunions calling. At last, be- coming sick and disgusted with this mode of life, he succeeded in obtaining a situation as a farm hand in Ulster county. Here he begun the stuay of the Eng- sn languase, and very s00n mastered it, as he had already the German, French, Spanish and Italian. He (hen taught school for some time, after which be took charge of # canal boat on the Delaware and Tludson Canal. While taus employed a Itttle meideut trauspired which was the stepplug-stone from pen- ury to aMluence. A break hed occurred in the canal, and Mr. Lord, the chief surveyor and engineer of the company, Was about taking the measurements of the break preparatory to haviag it repaired, when Von Beck stepped forward, paced out the base line, made a trigonoimetrica: calcuiation, and tatormea Mr. Lord the distance of the break, at which he was very much surprised, and, becoming iterested in him, he secured for him a position in the company’s employ. His business qualities soon became mahi- fest, and ere long he rose to the position of paymas- ter. About this time he woved, won and wedded Miss Jane Deming, of Eadyvilie, Keeping bis former marriage @ projoundsecret, fe remained in the em- ploy o1 the Company for several years, until some in- accuracies were found in his books and he was forced to resign, retiring from the company with a large for- tune. He a few years ago identifled himself with the State militia, and was very insiruimeutal and active in raising 1t to a bigh standard of excellence, and, as a@ recognition of his services, was presented by Gov- ernor Seyimour with a sword formerly owued by Lafayette, Hearing from a relative that his first wife was dead, he sent to Germany for his children. They cume, and not wishing his fumiiy here to know of hus former marriage, he introduced ts children into his household as servants, They soon married, and in a jew years became alienated from the affections of the faiher, Who seemed Ww reserve all his kindness and atfection 10r the Children of his lust marriage. Becoming alarmed, he petitioned the Legislature to pass an act legalizing its second marriage and jegitimatizing the children, whith act was passed by the Legisiature in the year 1644, which virtually legalized MORMONISM. This law, it is scarcely necessary to say, was clearly illegal aud unwarranted, and in direct vioia- tion of that provision of tue constitution of the United States Which declares that no State shali pass a law linpairing the obligation oi contracts, THE APPEARANCE OF MRS. VON BECK NO. 1 at Rondout this spring, after a separation from her husband of over forty years, cudsed great chagrin on the part of his second wife and chudren.
