Minister may be useftgl.thoitgh'he ba not popia-. lar: That lie cannot.be usefTl to the full ex tent of his ability if froinihe fear-of man le. fail to declare'all the coiunsel of God.' Bearing in mind the cliarge'of:'the Apostle to Timothy, under the rnost solemn zanc'tions, to "'preach the word," It not onlybecomes the duty of the, ;ministry faithfully to declare the truth as.it is in Jesus, that-they may be " pure from'the blood of all men;''-but also.ai a means by which they may indhce those under their charge to make that word the rule6ftheir lifeE To produce this result, we observe, 3. That the message.of salvation should be proclaimed in thespirit ofits author. Rom. viii. 9. "If any man. have not the spirit of Christ he isinoheeof his."- He is not qualified o be Christ's in any respect unless he be un er theinfluence-of.a'like holy disposition; and cannot be prepared, therefore, to proclaim his gospel successfully -to others. The truth may be delivered in-such a manner as not only to fail in producing a good effect; but of steeling the mind against. its- reception. This arises not so much from the language in which it is delivered as the spirit. The truth, though ne-. cessary to be taught, must be spoken in.love. Eph. iv. 15. But Speaking the truth .in lot's, ay gro* up into him in all things, which is the head, Christ." -Love to God and mail is the foundation of every qualifieation of the servant of Christ. See i Cor. chap.xiii. par ticular verses 1-8. Wauld" Ministraiinduce their charge to practicethe precepts of the Bi ble, let themtake heed to the spirit in which those precepts are taught.".. 4. Ministers should be living exemplifica ons of the precepts they teach. Rom. ii. 21. ' Thou, therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou, that preachest a man should not steal, dost .thou steal? 23. Thou that makest thy-boast ot' the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God Y" It has been said of Ministers, that they were as posts on the wayside, which,-without walking in the way of their. own direction. pointed the traveller to the path which leads to the desired goal. The truth or falsehood of this charge will not be fully unfolded till the day in which Jesus Christ shall judge-thesecrets of all hearts: Yet of this may the-ministey rest assured, that they will not prove as successful in influencing men to walk in the way of holmes as the index on the way tide, unless they lead in the way. Do the ministry preach against worldly mind. edness. and are they conformed to the world ? Do they teach others to love their enemies, and do they bear malice? Do they inculcate principles of benevolence, and are they of a contracted and illiberal pirit ? Alas ! there may be some few individuals among their ranks of this stamp, but we trust "they are but few and far between." It may be said ofsome 'fthem however, with some show of propriety, "Phy sician heal thyself." 2. Tim. ii. 4. "No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who bath chosen him to bea soldier." Yet one has gone to his merchandise, another to his farm, another to his school-room, -while but few remain con stantly at their posts on the walls of Zion to cry aloud and spare not. But in reply may such not say, I. Cor. ix.7. "Who goeth a - ivarfare at any time at liis own charges ? Who planteth a vineyard, -and enteth not the fruit thereof? or *ho feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk- thereof?" ver. 14. " Even so hath the Lord ordaiudithattthev which preach the gospelshali livei6f the gospel " Ministers are men of like wants with other men, and have those for whom theymust provide. If they make not this provisionthey will have denied the faith and acted worse than infidels. They are not mirdedlously supplied, neither has God promised 'miraculously to supply them with food from heaven, and garments that wax not old, but while they are commanded to at tend to the spiritual interests of the Church, the Church is under equally strong obligations to provide for their temporal wants. 5. Ministers should he men of prayer. The prayer .of faith claims the promises of God, whichcannot fail. -Let Ministers water their labours with much fervent prayer, and in due seasonathey shall reap if they faint niot. James v. 16. ' The effectual fervent prayer of a right eous maa avamtleth much." Matt. xxi.22. "And all tlimgswhatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall i-eceive." 6. They should rely alone upon the power of God to effect' the -work. John xv. 5. "For wvithout me ye can d<, nothing saithi Christ. Their let Minmsters make themselves thorough. ly acquainted, with the oracles of truth: let them faithfully proclaim iin the spirit of love that truth and practice it; *'Let them weep between the porch and the altar,' and go in the strength of the Lord God; then will their flocks learn to prize more fully the scriptures of truth, make them more conscientionsly and effectively the rule of their life, aud be more exemplary and zealous in the cause of.God. --Then shall Zion arise and shine in the glory of him who rises upon her, looking forth as the mnornr, fair as the moonm, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners.

We little thought, at the time we pitt forth that niotice, thrit every editor, wvho was friendly to sustain ing the good standing of the Art, would. upon publishing it, receive- a volley of abuse, from one, whom we have found out to be divested *of any pretensbons to common decency or civil ity, and wvho has always. sinice lie has been knotvn to thme profession, been a complete beg gar for ,favors from the craft, and woeathereock to all parties. We had a hope, that the editor of the Gazette would have treated him with si lent contempt, as we ought to have done long since. he editor of the Gazette, in the follow ing has given him his just deserts, and we have no hesitation in endorsing the remarks as true to the letter,. Front the Anderson tsazette. -Hamburg Journal-The Editor of the above sheet, is resolved to have some no torioty, and when his tergivereations in, polities, by the most barefaced abandon ment of principles, have failed in creating a sensation with the presses of the country,: he resorts to Yliohopeless game, of picking Editorial quarrels and 'controversies with his brethren of! the corps.

Our connection=vith th'e press has satisfied us that -if any class of mechanics earn hardly their sustenance they are urintera. We think their:prices are moderate, and are not disposed to.lend our aid in docking their-wages. If the Journal has represented truly, the increase of his subscription list since his wonderful conversion to whiggery, he has but little excuse for soliciting [or begging?] advertisements at half price, we opine that his new allies in accordance with their, established usage will pay hiim in promises. A few months will satisfy him of their intriasic value-especially if these promises are drawn upon and dishonored, at as early a date as some of the like des cription were after the cider campaign of '40. ' An editor, however lean, lank and hungry he may look, must have a more substantial diet than mere promises. It is hard indeed that this wonderful apostle of Whiggery should he driven to the dire ne cessity of petitioning for advertising, at half prices, to-afford that support which his new and delighted allies refuse to give him. Does.tho editor suspect noth ing from this fact? His brethren are in doubt whether he will stick to them through the campaign, and we should not be at all surprised to learn at any time that he had become a "ranting loco-foco." We ask the editor, seriously, what cause he has to complain at us? It has not been more than 3 months since we copied, without charge of course, the Prospectus of the Fifth Volume of the Journal four times, although our political principles were totally at variance with his, and nearly half a column of our paper was taken up with the prospectus.-Were we -under any obligations to him before that time? What right then has he to com plain at our copying the advertisement of of the Advortiser? The Editor of the Advertiser kindly copied our Prospectus at the commencement ofour Volume, and has since then extended us every courtesy in his power. We returu him our thanks for it, and gladly embraced the opportu nity of repaying his favors in publishing of his advertisement to continue business at the regularly established rates. If the editor of the Journal had made a respectful request of us to publish his half fee advertisement we would have complied with it most cheerfully. If we publish it now it will be charged as an advertisement. The Augusta W1ashingtonian.-We with plea sure announce the receipt of the first number of the third volume of this valiable Temper ance. Journal, and hope that the friends-of this good cause will step forward and give it that support it so justly deserves. We adyise the friends of Temperance to give the following remarks, giving their views and intentions, :a careful perusal: - Front the Agusta Washingtonian. To ALL whoa IT MAY coCCa--We to-day make a new bow to our readers, and after a brief suspension of our weekly salutations, extend to them the cordial hand. When we last addressed you, the prospect for the renewal of our acqu'ain tance was not very encouraging. But owing to strenuons exertions of. a. few friends; our list has reached that number, which warrants us in again issuing our sheet. In appearing before you 'at the commencement of a new volume,'it may be proper to premise a few remarks-first, as to what we expect from you. Our object, then, you will understand, is to advance the great lemperance refor mation. It will be our aim to present such statements and arguments as may be interesting to the friends of the cause an the one hand, anti as may operate benefi cially upon those who are still in danger from the intoxicating bowl.-Whilst this shall be the leaditng design of our paper, we also" hope to pay some attention .to inalters of a misellaneous character. It will be our purpose to furnish that.variety which shall make the Washingtriian .a welcome visitor to the family circle, and which shall minister to the gratificationof different tastes. -We profess no polities. In the discharge of our duty, we know neither Clay nor Frolinghuyson, Pol1k nor Dallas. Whenever wve catn, we shall applaud either party ; whenever we: must; we shall condemn either. We prefer no sectarianism; but we trust that we shall ever be found supporting, to the heat of our ability, the interests of true religion. Our aim, in short, will be to entertain, instruct, and profit all who may favor its with their patronage. Of our readers we have a very small request to make. It is that they bear with our infirmities, and throw the matntle of charit y over ouir errors. It was a source of regret that any one's feelitnes should have' been wounded by articles wvhich ap peared in our former volume. Nothing cari be further from the intention of any one who writes for this paper .than wound a friend of the .cause.. -If we have .ap peered severe, or if at any. future otime we we may seem - harsh, let it be borne in mind -that our seeming' sevet ities are -the efforts of a love eager to -resce.-It-is bard to desist from saying some sharpi things whin we behold the wiles of the Tempter for the destruction of virtue and innocence. .We aim to hit bad principles, not bad men. We would destroy the poi son-at thessame -time-we would imjure neither the hand that supplies it, or the baud that receives it. -. Such are our. piomises, and such our expectations. Let both then be realized, and at the close of. the year we -will -not regret having labored for you, nior will you regret having purchased and read the third Vol. of the Washingtonian. -- "The frst bale of Cotton."-W e believe we are in posession of this annual curiosity but to allay all jealousy among dealers in the article, we state that it is a- small bale, being sent to us a very fair articleebut we profess not skill in the matter.

Government Deposilcs.-The amount of funds of the Government of the United States in deposite in four weeks in the city of New York on the 1st instant, viz: the Bank ofCommerce, Bank ofAmerica, Merchants and American Exchange, was $4,383,000 and in Albany $94,000. The U. S. Treasury.-A Washington correspondent ofrthe Philadelphia Mercu ry says: "Ilearned to-day that the receipts at the Treasury Department exhibit a degree of prosperity in the finances of the Government almost beyond parallel. Fur the iast four or five years the weekly re ceipts-rarely exceeded $250,000 whereas they now seldom fall below $900,000, and at :imes exceed a million!" The Crops, and the Damage by Floods. -In speaking of the, crops, and the dam age which has been -sustained by the re cent disastrous floods, the editor of the Vicksburg Constitutional says: "In the interior the crops are generally good; in -all the valley regions they are seriously injured or totally destroyed, and there are but few :plantations indeed en-. tirely exempt from injury -by the flood. Where the levees were unbroken, the hack water has destroyed from -one-fourth to three-fourths of the hopes and pros pects. We have, not heard of any planta tion on the rivers or bayous for many miles above and.below as wholly free from damage.. Some estimates have been at tempted of the destruction. None can he made with anything like certainty;. but twenty millions of dollars would assured ly not cover the loss of property and crops, from the falls'ofthe Missouri to the Gulf. Some well informed person, who have seen much of the. ruins, do not .hesitate to name a much larger sum, and the work of desolation is yet going on. The water here has fallen very little. The last re ported rise above has not reached us." The same editor says that -he has seen several estimates of the destruction of the cot ton crop in all the submerged country. The general belief is that it will be 450,000 bales, or nearly one-fifth' of the whole. crop of the U.States. Overflow at Bayou Sara.-The Bayou Sara Ledger of Saturday last says that .'Our . town ivith the exception, of the squares frcnting immediately on the river,. between the Bayou Sara and Principal. street, is fairly inundated. Some families have already left their dwellings. and oth ers are propariig to follow.. Altogeiher, thie'prospect is .uocomfortableeiough, for, when'the water leaves us the action of the sun *on the deposit of vegetable and other matter will scarcely fail to produce, death dealing pestilence, among our citizens.

By order of Capt. C'. A. Meigs. BACON, o. s. July 24 3t 26 To those Candid lMen WHO honestly doubt the truth of the Bran drethian System, we would entreat them to ponder well upou the following facts: The F'ood taken into the stomach is conivert ed into blood, which vital stream, flowing through all the rainifications of the system, not only imparts strength and 'continues life, but actually creates, forms, and builds up. each and every part of the animal machine. If the blood therefore, is pure and healthy, the body, which, is formed from, and supported by the blood, cannot be diseased. Bitt it'there be in. any p art of the body any efreetion, such as bile, or ulccr, even a bruise, the blood circulating through that part, takes up impure matters from the 1to cal affection. andre~arries it into the general sys tem.
