To THE CHURCHES OF THE EDGEFIELD BAPTIST ASSocIATioN: Sendeth Christian Salutation. BELOVED BRETHREN To any one, who-feels anxious concern for the extension of Christ's kingdom, and forthe present and futurelhappiness of his fellow-men, the great destitution of Min isterial labor at present, must he a subject of serious and mournful reflection. - Look over our country. our State. our District, our Association ; to say nothing of the re gions abroad. Whole sections are entire ly destitute of Ministerial labor. Many Churches are destitute of stated Preach ing, having that, which is only occasional. Others have preaching as often as once a month, but no other labor. Few Church es indeed there are, that have pastors to breakto-them the bread of life every Loid's Day,and'to minister to their spiritual wants during the6 week. Taking into considera. tiot-tho fact, that miniiterial labor is the i'atmearin God uses, in saving men ~A 1U_0 W iprepiringdheur biiihhl, veu*cirtainly such destitution sliould-ex cire Painful~ refleciion, and stimulate ti prompt and effective action for its removal. This subject suggests two important in quiries: First :-What are the causes of tihis des titution? Second :-How may these causes he te moved - To answer, to some extent. these inqui ries, is the purpose of this letter. First:-What are the causes? 1. Want of zeal and proper energy a mong Ministers, may be a cause of scarcity of ministerial labor. If there were a sufficient number of Min isters.in the gospel-fielk to cultivate it rho. roughly. and some, or all of them, were to remain idle, or to labor only a part of their time, the field could not be cultivated. Dow much of the presentdestitution is at tribtable to this cause, we will not pre teud to say; but it is to be feared, far too much of it is. There are some at least, bearing the name of Ministers of the Gos pel, who labor very little; and others who do not labor nearly all their time. It is true, some of these are prevented from Ia boring by circumstances over which they -have tnot entire control, as we shall have reason to show in aniot her place; but too many lack zeal and energy. A love of ease, or an inordinate desire for wvorldly thsings, has long since caused *zeal for God's house to cease to burn in their btosoms.' 2. Feweness of Ministers, in proportion to the field to be cultivated,must be a cause of deficiency of ministerial labor. - This cause isi quite apparentt at present. 1-ts~wuld be impossible for the'ntttber (if iniisters now in the field, to cnitivato it, if abiey wbre to labor faithfully day and night. * 3. A. lack of ministerial support is at cause of lack of ministerial labor. It operates as a cause in two ways ; it itiduc'es fewness of Ministers, and restrains the.fowv already in the firld. It rehlalires .a large stock of love to God, andI to one's fellow-men, to influence a tian to engage in the ministry, with no other prospect thtan to endure poverty and waent himself. atnd * to. entail them on his chikdren; the lan guage. "wee is me if I preach tnt the Gospel,". ounditg in his eairs, to the con trary not withstanding. Nor is this an in oginarv cause ; it is a real, a lamnetntable oe. According to the presetnt state of things, poverty, and in many intstances, . piniching want are almaost inevitable, in ~the casespof those who devote their time exclsively to the initstry. For, while poorer Ministers get a small pittancefutly, by way of charity, those in more easy cir cumstan)ces get nothing at uall. Such a mode of treatment. anty one may see, wili *make the poor'till poorer, antI reduce to -*.poverty these in -nore prosperous circttm stances. It is true there are some few .caseq, which form exceptions to this too -eneral rule. In some places the ministry smeasur'eably viewed'in its proper light, *and itreated properly;- but these places are far moo few. While this state of stmags *,Sxists, few will ventunre to entter- the mainis try, atndIthoso talreaidy ini the field oh labor, *pist he greatly, rctarded itn their ell'ot ts. A. Inifmbrence to religious tit ters, on the part of professors of religion is some imes a cause of dimunition of ministerial labor. In order to success in his work, the Min ister must not only receive the pecuniary 5id of his brethren, but he must be sup). ported by their prayers, assisted by thei kindness and brotherly love, and aided in iis labors by a promptness on their part, to perform their respective duties. It some imes happens, that professors of religion ire so busily engaged in worldly matters, hey will scarcely attend the most public ninistrations of their pastors. Private meet ns, for their especial benefit, are entirely ieglected. They and their families are iever prepated to receive, and le benefit ed by visits from their pastors. Hence Mlinisters, too frequently, having to push against wind and tide, both the opposition f the ungodly, and the almost worse indif 'erence of professors of* religion, become liscouraged, and settlo down to be driven along by the current of events, concluding :o abide the cnsequence. Second,-How may these causes be to noved ? 1. A want of zeal and proper energy among Ministers, can be removed, only by neans similar to those commonly recom nended, for removing religious declension. Such as eornest prayer, reading the Scrip ures, exhorting each other to love good works, &c. It is the privilege too, and duty )f every professor of religion, to speak plainly, but affectionately, to his pastor, >r to other Ministers, respecting pastoral luties. Let no one suppose the Minister ins a perfect right to point out to his bre hren their duty, and to reprove them for iot performing it, while they have no right o deal with him in a similar way. It is heir right and they should use it. Let Ministers then who are apt to be remiss n the performance of duty, use the means o recommend to others; and let christians tenerally feel at liberty to stirjup such, to ove and to good works; and this cause vill be removed. e. If fewness of Ministers be a cause of lestitution. this cause can be removed, on y by increasing the number, There are various ways of doing this. Ministers who ire already in the field of labor, may. by mursuing the proper course,ionfluence others o enter. It is their duty to watch, and whenever they see one who they think is lesigned for the work, to give him all the soutagement possible. Private members nay, by aising proper means, increase the iuumbet .Mg j~hy - 4oiepri Lh'I~rd iheohara eat, to send fortr more laborers.' The Lord of the harvest hav ing sent'labormrs, they are to encourage them, by giving them labor to do, giving thern sdrtething for doing it, and praying for success to attend their ellbrts. It is the duty of private members too, to find out, and e-courage by words, such as they may suppose have impressions to become labor ers. if all, both Ministers and people. were tcr perform faithfully their respective du ies, fewness of Ministers would not long remain a cause of dpstitution of ministerial labor. The Lord Jesus has gifts for us, and will bestow them, when we ask fm them, and conduct ourselves so as to be worthy to receive them. 3. Lack of ministerial support can be ro moved. only by a more systematic, and tlTective plat of contributing to the suppori nf M1 inisters. The question will no doubt arise here, Whar system can be adopted ? We would answcr, by asking n question. What systen do we adopt, with respect to our school teachers, our physicians, ou public servants, in political all'airs? The answer is, we pay ther in propor ion to their labors, or the benefit of their labors to us, as individuals, or comnuni ties. Now treat your ptublic servants ii spiritutal matters, in the same way. Pay ete in proportion to the amount of the value of their labors. The great diflicuhy: is, we do nut generally look upon1 the mini istry as aon occupatiotn; while indeed, it i. not only a distinct ceiipation, but one 01 th most laborious. and responsible, thal man cver followed. It seems to us, with this fact in view, it is no'. so very dhillical to determine, about what amotunt,any labor er in the gospel-held shouhul receive. Bul some one will say to us probably ; I do not ice how a lack of ministerial suppari can induce a fewness of minaisters, as yoi seem to think. For, 1 think if any onei called, he wilt do w-hat he can b~y way a preaching, &c., if lho got nothing for it.' It is trtue that some love the cause of theil Redeemer,and t he souls of their fellow-met so well, as to sacrifice almost every thin1 like worldly comfort, to labor itt the gospel field. lBnt su ppose sotne of those called aire not quite so wvarm hcarted; but tha they are no more ready to) make sacrifices than their brethren aroudthem, who ar< withtholding from their Minister a support is it at all surprising, thtat the satme wani of a sense of duty, whbich keeps so manly christians from tnaking a sniall sacrific< towanrds the support of Ministers, shoul keep many, who reel impressed to engag in the ministitry, frotm making the tremn dous sacrifice they must make, in doin1 so1 Some will say no doubt ; we watnt nr Ministers, that htave so slight a sense o duty, as nto! to mtake any sacrilice, to lahlti for Christ, and thme good of immortal souls Wo might say the same respecting pro fesors of rcligioit generally ; and carrying out the pritciphe, we should certaitnly er lude all that will not make a small sacri flee towards the support of their mnititers for this sacrifice is as much required. itn th Scriptures, as the othter. The nmistakie is and a ga-eat one it is, that 3liuisters art cotnsideredl boun~d to labor lior the good 0o oaters, whiletosa bhtmwistdar nrudrer no obliatio to do any thing in return. God views not things in this light. Nor do we believe, that he will ever punish Ministers for not leaving their homes, and lamilies, to go and labor for those who know, and who have the means of per forming their duty, but who will not do it. And hence conscientious men, who reel that they ought to engage in the ministry, will not do it. The farther we pursue this topic, the wider the field appears before us, but we are reminded, that the limits of this letter demand a close to this part of the subject. 4. If indiirerence to religious matters be a cause of diminution or ministerial labor, this cause can be removed, only by the use of proper means, both upon the part of Ministers, and christians generally. Min isters, in such a case, should deal faithiul ly, and candidly with their.hrethren; and endeavor to keep before their view, as much as possible, their duty, the obliga. tions which they are under to God, and to their fellow-men. Christians should use those means, which will he more likely to keep up a lively state of religious feeling; in short, they'should seek after high toned piety; they should be ready to stand side by side with their Ministers, to assist and encourage them in their labors. By pur suing a course of this kind, indifference to religious matters would soon vanish, and their whole souls-would be eugaged in the good work, or extending the Saviour's kingdom, and makiug immortal souls hap py. In conclusion, we would simply. say; dear brethen, if we have seemed to be plain in our remarks, we do not think we have been more so, than the subject required. And we do hope, that you will not simply scan this letter with the eye of a critic, and lay it by to be forgotten, but that you will keep continually in view its subject, (and the remarks in it, worth your notice,) until we shall have the happiness of seeing the gospel-field full of zealous, able, and efficient laborers. O, dear brethpn! this world would soon become again 'the Par adise of our God,' if we could all see eye to eye in this matter; and would ' come up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty." ' By the foolishitess of preaching, God is pleased to save them that believe.' 'Faith conies by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' 'But how shall they, hear without a prea chr, and how sball they preachexcept. they be sent:'' . T Uhe of11 I I he1.,1 111,, -. food, which it is the business of Ministers of the Gospel to give, is enough to make our very hearts hudder. Dear brethren, let us all give tor this subject prayerful re flection. 'And what our hands fiud to do, let as do it with our might. For soon the nig-lt will approach, when none of us can work.' God enable is so to do, is our.prayer for his name's sake! Amen. Aflectionately yours, WILLIAM B. JOHINSON, Modir. B. M. TALUErT, Clerk.

Inviolability of Confession.-Somec time ago a Mr. Hlotten), in Baltimore, wvas robbed of sundry valuable papers, whlichm were taken from a desk in his office, by means of a false key. Some daysafter the papers were rettmined to. Mr. Hotten by Rev. Mr. Hickey, a Ipriest of the Roman Catholic Church, and a youtng tian named Greacen was arrested asithe supposed robber. Mr. Grencon was brought in for trlal. fThere was no evidence against him, and Rev. Mr. [I. refused to testify, the facts having canme to his knowledge uinder the seal of confession. His right to reftuse wvas admittedi by the Court, and Mr. Grencen wasticquitted.

As soon as the canon placing tho power to remit or modify such a sentence as his, in the House of Bishops, had become a law, - by the acton of both [louses, a committee of five Bishops, elected by ballot, brought in a report recoin mncnding, unanimouly, that the Bishop "has leave to withdraw his papers." The report went largely and ably into the reasons for rejecting his demand. Among others, it is stated tha't there was no reason to believe that he had repent ed of that of which he had been found guilty, and that until there should be received from him an ample confession of guilt and satisfactory profession of repentance, restoration was impossible, The report went further, antd aimed at impressing on the mind of ishop On derdonk, that since the officer of a Bishop was given him, not for his sake,. hut die good of the Church, there wa~s nothing left to him, lbut the bare "legal possibility" of being ever restored, and nio such possibility 'as should be the basis in his mind- of any expectation.

COMMENTS OP TITE nRTTISH PRESS ON TIE MEXICAN WAR. From the London News of Sept. 20. The descendants of Cortes and of the S.panish conquerors of Mexico, have, after all, made no effectual defence against the present race of invaders thai the people of the Incas did against the Spaniards. There conld not be a city more capable of defence than. Mexico, surrounded by. lakes or chains of. moun tain passes connecting those lakes; Mil itary skill, with the bravery that th& Mexicans have shown, inght' have ren dered their capital and its preci&nsijal ley impregnable, at least to the te'n or twelve thousand men that the Americans could at l)resent have brought against it. But as the arrows of the Mexican In.. dians told weakly against the firearms of Cortes, the nullity or freachery of Santa Anna in defensive warfare has placed the city of Mexico at tfie mercy of the American general; From the Leeds Mircur..Oct.2.

Whilst. we cannot butdeplore the badness of their cause, it must be admitted that the Mrilitary conduct of the. American offi cers, and the bravety of their men may. be compared with the achievements of the verera'n' troops of any European state.
