Fee ETE TEEEIREENEEEE Qhose who donbt their power inquire inte the effoct that manufacturing interests havo in phaping the polloy of Now Eogland—a section influence over the whole eountry can ly be overestimated. Lot them reflect ei tho. {ofuence of a few mining and rail- =-stane in shaning, tha noliav o# corpormuc.... sare ante enasylyania, one of the mest powerful of the hood Of Staiss, Or think of the noto- and acknowledged ralo of the Camden Amboy Railroad in a neighbor- State. Ask the inhabitants of Cen- Illinois, one of the richest ms of the fertile West, whag power the inois Central wields over the ‘ict through {oh it runs, on how many farms it holds ortgages, how many of its candldates—for ese companies are all well represented in th State and national legislative bodies— ve been defeated of late years. The ‘estern Union Telegraph Company extends fits power and exercises political influence, not bnly in's few States, but throughout the whole ‘country, We doubt whether there are a dozen Senators or members of Congress who @o not hold passes trom that Company en- tiling them to use its lines free of charge. Let that mythical person, the impartial ‘observer, reflact on all this, and then Jet him determine the power which these so-called’ servants of the public fhave acquired in our midst, As to their Hinfluence here, let all tho scandal, the bitter baw suits which have occupied the atten- ‘on of the courts and of the public, answer. ‘Does not @ so-called “railroad ring” exist in ‘every Legislature? Has it not become part of ithe political creed of many sections of the jcountry to resist further concessions of na- tional territory to swell the millions of rich \acres which opulent corporations have wrung om the national domain? What further roof of their power can be wanting, when two railroads not only control but absolutely own territory exceeding in extent many a European State—railroads owned by individuals, but ‘built with public money, obtained as a loan ‘and secured by mortgages on lands which were a gift ? ‘And with these many instances of power is ‘anything to be called impossible for a com- bination of these companies to do? Can we Bot imagine a state of things in which a combination of circumstances might throw the power of nomination for the high office of President into the hands of a few corporations ? ‘Lot us suppose that the great railroad lines of this State are consolidated, and that the clash- dog interests that now prevent their ab- sorption of the Western lines are harmonized. ‘Let us suppose this, and, keeping in mind the power of ashort trunk line in New Jersey, imagine the possible power of tho many millions which such a combination as we have hinted at would possess. Our chances of con- trolling this rests in the veto power of the President and in the existonce of a powerful minority in Congress, It is to a President as yet untrammelled by these complications, and to all earnest, far-secing men in our next ational legislature, that we look for a remedy to the evils which may arise from the great power of incorporated interests. To them we look for an ealighteaed and comprehensive system which shall determine the power of; corporate capital, and which, while leaving the widest possible field open to enterprise, shall, at the same time, firmly and effectually control any abuse of an agency so powerful and at times so unscrupulous in its operations. ‘Tho Africans of the Slave Trading Wan- derer. We published yesterday a very interesting ‘despatch from Washington relative to the Africans of the slaver Wanderer, It was intended that these poor creatures should be landed at Cuba; but a United States war vessel cruising off that island overhauled and captured the Wanderer, finding the condition of its human cargo such as to render it neces- sary to make for the nearest port—that of Savannah, Before President Buchanan’s instructions that it should be brouzht into some Northern port could be complied with a lawless gang boarded the slaver by night and hurried the Africans off towards the Gulf, dis- trivuiing them on plantations in the interior of ‘the country. This created great excitement jthroughout the United States in 1859, but the search which was instituted for the kidnapped victims proved unavailing, and subsequently, during the excitements of our civil war, they ‘were entirely lost sight of. Two years ago, however, the Rev. Mr. Phillips, a missionary ‘of the Southern Baptist Convention, who had just returned from Yoruba, in Central Africa, waa addressing a congregation of colored ‘people in Mobile, and took occasion to repeat the Lord’s Prayer in the Yoruba language. A group of negroes in the back part of the house broke out into shouts of delight, which the preacher mistook as indications of religious % ; avie and even lau fervor until, at the end of his discourse, they came thronging around him and spoke to him iu their African tongue. They told him that they were part of the company carried off from the Wanderer, and described their being am- bushed and seized while on a trading tour to threat he must either be an empty braggart or amaniao, Very rarely, if ever, is there any heroism in this kind of self-sacrifice, and when it 1s made Insanity and not herolem is the cause, If any {mportant military results could follow ths blowing up t would be an exous- oie and even laudable ect, but as Montmédy is of no mune tmapoi chanoe whatever shefe 1s no senso in the threat, if it over was made. The story, however, is too much of the dic- in-the-last-ditch order to be believed. Tue Revortep Unsvoorssrut Sortiz From Bztrorr reminds us that that fortress is the Inst stronghold remaining in possession of the French situated in that part of France originally belonging to Germany. It is not likely that Belfort will be captured easily, as the French had ample time to provision and garrison the place before the investment, The fortifica- tions are all of modern construction, well armed and naturally strong. Except by the slow process of starvation or gradual ap- proaches Belfort cannot be taken, Of course a voluntary surrender would be a different thing, but that is scarcely probable, Personal Intelligence.

M., from the Eighicenth precinct. It was further stated that the police had found Hines in Sixteenth street, between First avenue and avenue A, where, it 13 alleged, he had been shot by Wm.

H, MeNevins and their respective friends, At intervals during the time named these rival gangs of roughs bave come in violent collision, with varied success, according to the number of persons engaged on either side, and broken heads, black eyes and bloody noses were the result. Kveu the femaies of the two families took part in the quarrels and often sutiered quite severely. About balf-past one o'clock yester- day me the belligerents met 4a force at the groggery of William Flary, 426 East Sixteenth styeet, when angry words at once passed between then. To bring matters toa speedy crisis James Hines drew a large knife, making @ pass at McNe ins, cutting hita sughtly. A general fignt then en- sued, during which most of the parties stepped out on the sidewalk, and while there McNevins drew a six-chambered revolver from his pocket and dis- charged three shots at Edward Hines, one of the bullets taking effect m the groin, another in the back of the head and a third in bis back, A speedy scattering of tie warring factions took place, and the aiarm being givea McNevins was arrested and sent before Captain Cameron, of the Eighteenth eat police station, where he ts held to await she result of Hines’ injuries.

Dr. Newman was more than ordimartly eloquent and earnest. The subject of his sermon was practical Christianity, His text was taken from Matthew vil. 21—“Not every ene that saith unto Me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king- dom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven.” It was, he said, consts- tent with the doctrines of reason and the teachtugs of revelation that God should have a will touching Mis chilaren, It was also consistent with cach that that will should be revealed tw the simplest manner possible, and that to do the will of the Creater should be man’s first and highest duty. Christ, himself, was mindful of this in each event of life, saylng—“Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God.” Nothing {3 So natural, so beautiful, so rational as harmony between the human and divine will. Chris- Uanity consisted of two things—doctrines and prac- tice, or believing and doing, accepting and being. ‘Yhe subject suggested practical Christianity. considering it Dr. Newman enlarged upon the false notions which men hold and the devices to which they resort puse the: ives from tha 1E3 OF A CHRISTIAN LIFE. He showed that Jestis Christ incurred the aispiea- sure of the age in which He lived by pointing eut, in simple and direct words, the false ideas and life of the people. After relering to the opinions enter- tained by the Pharisees aud Sadducees in the tine of Christ, the Laise lous of the present day were taken into considers First, it was @ false notion that Christianity 1s a system of sublime abstraction, to be comprehended only by phitioso- phers. ‘his must be true toa certain extent, but these abstract traths were tauglit us in the most beautiful parabies, Second, lt was false to suppose that Christianity covsists in church ceremontials, al- thougi tue patriarch of Alexandria, who recited Fr too dangerous to be at large in the comumunity. A STRANG: CASE. A Man Tw! Tried and Convicted of Murder, and Sentenced to be Hanged. {krom the Owego (N. Y.) Times, Nov. 25.] On Monday night the Sberiff of Cattaraugus county Jodged ta the jail in this village a man who has had ahardlot. Aboot a year ago, in Littie Valley, a man named Burdick was met on the street, about half- past three o'clock in the morning, by two colored men, who, we think, were in a wagon. ‘They got into @ bei when this young man drew a pis- toLand fired, killing one of the colored men, named Baker. For this careless use of the pistol he was in- dicted for murder in the first degree, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death, For some tuformaitties a second trial Was had and he was again convicted and sentenced to be. executed on the 2th of this nionth—but Governor Hoffnan has commuted bis sentence to imprtgonment for life in Auburn State Prison, and on Monday night last, in charge of the Sheriff of that county, he stopped at Owego and ‘was put in jail for the night, Tue purties, started on the Southern Central on Tuesday morning. He Is a slight built, dark complexioned young man, evi- dently nervous, and fron his careworn look has seen trouble. He ta by profession a watchmaker or golasmith, and has wife and one child. Bis lot is a hard one. He claims he shot in seif-defence, but it Seed ty inevidence that he had on a previous occasion used the pistol recklesely. The prisoner seems about twenty-five or twenty-six years of age- GETTING MARRIED UNDER DiFFICULTIES, {from the Charlotteville (Va.) Chronicle, Nov. 20.] We heard a few days since ofa gentleman of Alri. can ‘scent, about fifty years old, who had pro- mised to marry a girl ona certain day that was not ord enough to teave her mamma yet, and who was consequently sobjected to the following inconve- miences:—He started out on the morning belore the happ| event was totake place in search of the clerk’s ofMive to secure tho necessary papers ; but, lo! on his arrival there the sage clerk In- formed him that he would have to bring a certificate from the parents of the young lady. He remonstrated, saying that he had walked seven miles and that he could net go back for Wat; butit ‘was ho use, andso flnding it, off he went. Return- ing in a few hours with the certificate he said dat was all right; but upon examination there was no witness to the paper, and we can tmagive what his surprise must have been when he was told that he mnst go back again, ‘Why go back!’ he said; “the sua ‘most down and seven miles t@ igo back for witness; Can't doit; obliged tq get married to- morrow, license or no license.” Bus, after think- ing awhile, he started off, and retuxged on Sunday morhing with tke proper certifigate, after haviug walked forty-two ming for those, prayers every fifteen minutes during the twenty-four hours, Must have so considered it. Such was the belief of the Pharisee, who placed his dependence on ceremoniais rather than on the vital principles of Christianity embodied tn every-day hte, it was a falsé notion that religion requires our thoughts to be aiways fixed on God, to the exclusion of all other thoughts, The ex- perience of & schovlboy, ever conscious of the coming holiday while learning his lessons, was @ refutation o! this idea. Indeed, it was a law of our mental nature that while we were engaged in some importast subject irrelevant thoughts might be passing through tue mind. All that retuigion re- quired was that all other thoughts should be kept in control. While the Christian 1s performing secular duties thoughts of God and neaven were ever before him, sending their divine radiance over his spirit. ‘That time spent in secular pursuits t@ a loss to religion Was another false notion. This was one of the errors of the day and an error that was working ruin to many minds and keeping many out of the church. Among the devices to which men resorted to avoid the necessity of exer- cising piety in every day ile might be mentioned, retiring from the world to religious imstitutiens, ‘Thos arose monkery. But what a lamentable pic- ture to see a great muscular monk spending his \ife counting beads! Far better for him to be jostled Hdout among men. Solitary places of religious re- lirement are the very places for the devil to find a man. Others handed over religion to the keeping of their wives, sisters and mothers, Tois was paying a very high compliment to woman, but atthe jast day every man must stand or fall to him- self, Another expedient was dividing thi ap into secular and sacred, But men forgot that Christiant- ty embraces all times, all places and all relations.

Mr. Needhauty of the English Baptist Missions, on Spiritual Regeneration, WAsninaton, Nov. 27, 1870. Rev. George 0. Neednam, of the English saptist Missions, trom London, who haa been sojourning ia Washington, preached to a large con, aregauon thia afternoon at Lincoin Hall, He comes from Rey. Mr. Spurgeon’s church, and evinces some of the spiritual Pathos ascribed to that reverend gentleman, Hav- ing read the third chapter of St. John, he chose for his text the seventh verse of the same chapte “Marvel not that Lead unto thee, Ye must be bora agam.” He said that these words were ad- dressed to Nicodemus, a teacher among the Jews, and astonished this master in Israck Ho was & man repured learned in the Jewish law, who had acquired in a great degree the pharisatcat spirit. He considered himself well informed, and the words of our Lord Jesus divested bim or his personal notions of ac- ceptabllity in the sight of God. He marvelled thas he should be born again before he could enjoy the blessings of eternal life, He had formed to himsett notions of righteousness in accordance with the pre- vailing teachings among the Jews, and tt became to him amore maternal than @ spiritual mystery, aa his subsequent inquiry clearly shows, The worid may havo knowledge; its children may possess faith ‘that will move mountains, yet Jacklug the one thing thege avall nothing. The world con- in God, yet in its tons dispreves @ belief in an intimate relationship between the creature and the Creator. Ia our own day many seem to think the language of the text will do very Well to preach to the heathens, but that to intelli- gent Christians it has only a figuraturo meaning. On this Deg of regeneration the speaker wisn: to show that the new Lirtu 1s ons of fact and nob of fancy; next, the necessity, and lastly, the means b: which it 18 accomplished. Our Lord Jesus was n speaking aguceetey in the text—Lle means @ real second birth, He declared that 1t was necessary and hence this spiritual regene:at.on is treated as wonderful reality, wnd‘in proof of this assertion thi reverend speaker quoted passages from the gospela and the epistles, showing (hat those who ffvek' in the Ume of Christ, a3 Well ay thoso who came after him, accepted those words in their literal meaning. 1t became @ serious quesiton, then, bh sald, with all of us whether We accept this teachin as they did, or whetuer we put upon tt our own in terpretation. From the tenor of the digerent pas. sages alluded to no one could tail Wo te convinced thal A NEW CREATION WAS ABSOLUTELY NECEISARY before he could stand upon the golden platforin of the Now Jerusalem. Maa ,out of Christ was an ex- latence entirely different from one who bas been born again. One is spoken of as @ man of the spirtt, and another of the fesu, aud not pleasing to God: therefore we should realize the necessity of a second birth. A man {3 not suflicient for hinsell, He has, in addition to his own weakness, & pow: erful, au artful enemy in tho devil. To be conquerors, to be victorious over all of our enemies, we must be born azain; for in our nata- ral infirmity we are not alapted to fight aguinst the opponents of our salvation. Again, We ave destined to live in God s holy presence forever, and we are not pure. How, then, can we expect, without spiritual regeneration, to be made acceptavle in His sight? If man, in his sinful coudilion, were trans lated into His’ holy presence, it would be eternas misery to him. The blemish upon nis soul would be evernally magnified in the presence ot God; his association with the angels weuld be cut of; hence the importance of this spiritual birth, Many object. t the Word of God in this sense. I, seems a hard saying to the werldly minded, The children of Adam forget tiat the child of a slave ta a slave and the child of a sinner tt asinner, “The heart ts deceitful above ali things and desperately wicked.” So sounds the prophec: of all those who lived before the time of our Lord and ifthe beart be desperately wicked who shal change it? Our exterior may be fair to the world, we may even deceive ourselves in our notions of self-righteousness, but we cannot deceive Gud; neither can we bo deceived in the word of God. Our spiritual regeneration becomes a thing of neces- sity, and not a matter of desire, if we hope lor ctere nal bigs, it must be God’s work and can alone be Mmplished by Hun, The means by which our Ivation 13 assured are through tho Holy Spirit; mot merely an tufluence, but the work ings of ¥ divine personulity. Our Lord Jesus said that if ie were taken from among His discipiea the Holy Ghost would come aud convince the worid of sin, Jesus died that sluners migitt saved, and the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, communicates to tha con- trite the gift of that new life which our Lord Jesus bas miprttea for us, The word of truth ts the word ol \. IT 18 THR LIVING SEED, which, planted in our hearts, must fractify, Until mau 1s 30 be eee he caunot inherit the kingdom of heaven. Now, in what this spiritual regeneration consists we may not be so well assured. Our Lord said to Nicodemus that he must be born again, and of Himself that He must be lifted up, In this connec. tion the salvation or man and the suierings of Calvary are inseparable. Man cannot save himself, Of hbimsecif he has nothing accept able in the sight of God. Jesus dicd for all, that all might be saved. Therefore, if all are not saved it 13 not because tt 18 not the will of God? In what docs this spiritual regeneration con- sist? Many fancy that they must experience some wonderful interior feoling, and look for that as @ sign of acceptance with Almighty God. If this were 80 thousands upon thousands might die without ex. periencing such @ change of heart. DiMdence in ourselves, & casting ofl Of self, a holy, childilke con- fidence in God, and faith in the teachings of our divine Saviour, are the essentials, There 1s Ro mele tal process, no volcanic outivurst, no momentary impulse, accompanying the change of heart. The spirit of God 1s the spirit of peace, and tts fruits ara manifested in that faith which teaches us Uiat who- soever believeth on Him should not perish, but should have everlasting tiie.
