Tim existence of a fragment of the 1
family of Abraham in the interior of ;
China lias been certainly known for I
upwards of two hundred years, and
surmised much longer. The Jesuit ;
Kieci, during Ins residence at Peking,
in the beginning of the seventeenth
century, was the means of exciting
the attention of foreigners to the
Jews of Kai-fung-fn, the ancient eapi- j
l:d of Iff) -1 in 11 nrovinrn. In KilS '
they were visitcA by Aleni, a follower
of Uicci; ami, a hundred yours later,
between 1801 and 1732. fathers
(ion/.ani, Domenge, and Cianbn were
enabled, from personal investigation
on (lie spot, to give minute dcscrip- !
tions of the people, their synagogue, i
and sacred nooks, the latter of which I.
few coufcf even then read, while (he j
former was, with the peculiar institutions
of m oses, fast falling to decay.
Beyond a few feeble and ineffectual
efforts, 011 the part of biblical critics,
nothing was subsequently attempted
lr? mnintiiin n rnminmiir.-itinn witli
the handful of Jews, until in 1815,
some brethren in London addressed a
letter to them in Hebrew, and offered i
a large reward if any 01. would!
bring an answer in the same language.
The letter was entrusted to
a Chinese bookseller, a native of the
province, who is reported to have delivered
it, which is doubted, as lie
brought no written answer.
.Recently, the Jew's Society in Lon
don, cncouragcd by the munificep.cn
of Miss Cook, who placed ample
funds at their disposal, instituted inquiries
on the subject, and sought
the co-operation of the bishop of Victoria,
who having previously opened
a correspondence with Dr. Mcdhurst

recent visit to Shanphae, the plan of j
operations was agr il upon. This
was to despatch two Chinese Chris- |
tians, one of them a literary grailu-,
ate, the other a young man with a j
competent knowledge ol English, acquired
at the Loudon Missionary
School. The North China llerald,
of the 18th January, contains an interesting
account of their mission,
from winch \vc gather the following
particulars:
The two emissaries started on the
15th November last, and after an ah?onnn

Shanghae, the distance between the
'two citicx being hIjuuL six (uiiidrcii
miles.* Arrived at their destination,
they found in the decayed city of
Cai-fung-fu, both Mohamedans and
Jews, the latter poverty-stricken and
degraded, their synagogue in a state
of dilapidation, and the distinguishing
symbols of their religion nearly extinct.
The books of the law, written
ill ;i smnli snnnro. rhnrnHnr nn slioon
akin, are, iiowevei, still pieserved,
although it would seem for many
years they have been seen by no one
able to read them.
The Jesuits mention the existence
of the sacred books, but were not
suffered to copy or even to inspect

countered no such scruples, so that,
besides taking copies of inscriptions
onthestono tablets, they were enabled
!o bring- away eight Hebrew !
manuscripts, six of them containing j
portions of the Old Testament, ana ;
two of the Hebrew liturgy. The cor
respondent of (he North China Herald
states that?
'The portions of Scripture are from
the 1st to (he 7th chanters of Exodus,
from the 38th to the 4th chapters of
the same book, Leviticus 19th and
20th chapters, .Numbers 13to. 14th,
and 15th chapters, with the23d chapter
of that book. Various portions
of the Pantateuch, Psalms, and Hagiographa
occur in the books ofpravers,
which have not yet been dennu 4iy
fixed, The character in which
these portions are written is in an
antique form of the Hebrew, with
pointst They are written on thick
paper, evidently by menus of a style,
and the material employed, as well
as the silk in which the hooks were
bound, exhibits marks of foreign origin.
Two Israeliljsh gentlemen, to
whom ilicy have been shown in
Shanghae, say they have seen such
books in Aden; and the occurrence
here and - there of Persian words,
written with Hebrew letters, in the
notes appended, seem to indicate
that the nooks in question came ori/r
ina'/ly froj.i the western part of Asia,
nerhaps from Persia Or Arabia.?
.There is no trace whatever ol the
Chinese character about them, awl
they must have been manufactured
entirely by foreigners residing in Chirm,
or who nmy iiave come from a
foreign country. Regarding their

Tl)e result of tins mission has neon

at least will be made by some

occasion aro so far satisfactory, yet i
in the aceoant given, on the authori- i
ty of the Chinese emissaries, we pro- 1
&umc there arc several things that
might otherwise excite incredulity.

Notwithstanding all the objections
which infidels and sceptics have bro't
against Christianity, it lias nothing to
fear from impartial examination. It

It will afl'ord instruction to the philosopher,

consolation to the ignorant how- j
ever wretched.

opinion. W hen the celebrated l)r.
Edmund Halley was talking infidelity

it, and 1 am certain that you know
nothing of the matter.1
Dr. Johnson well observed that no
honest man could he a Deist, for no
man could he one after a fair examination
of the proofs oi Christianity.
On the name of Hume being men- j
tioned to him, 'No, sir/ said he,;
lume owned to a clergyman in 1 )ur i

Lord Bacon, toward the close of
his life, said that a smattering of philosophy

a thorough insight of it|\vill
lead a man hack again to a first
cause. He added, that lie durst not
die with any other thought than those

among christians.
Infidels should never talk of our
giving up Christianity until they can
propose something superior to it.?
Lord Chesterfield's answer to a fe
male infidel was, therefore, very just.

Voltaire to sun with him and with

mcnt headed as above. It conveys
to every boy and impressive moral
lesson.
"An honest, industrious boy" is always
wan led. He will always be
sought for; his services will he in demand;
he will be spoken ol in terms
i a' i '
oi commendation; ne will always
have a home; he will grow up to be a
man of known worth and established
character.
He will be wanted. The merchant
will want him for a salesman or a
clerk; the master mechanic will want
him for an apprentice or ?i journeyman;
those with a job to let will
want him for a contractor, clients
will want him for a lawyer; patients
for a physician; religious congrega-,
tion, for a pastor; for a teacher For j
their children; and tho people, for an
officer.
He will be wanted. Townsmen
will want him as a citizen; acquaintances
as a neighbor ; neighbors as a
friend; families as a visitor; tin1, world
as an accmaintance : nav crirla will
want Siim as a beau, and finally for a
husband.
An honest,industrious boy ! Just
think of it, boys, will you ever answer
this description? Can you apply
for this situation? Are you sure
that you will be wanted? You mav
bo smart and active but that does not
fill the requisition?arc you honest ?
You may be capable?are you industrious?
You may be well dressed
ami create a favorable impression at
first si^ht?are you both "honest and
industrious?" You may apply for a
"good situation"?are you sure that
your friends, teachers, acquaintances
ran recommend you for these qualities?
Oh, how would you feel, your r
character not being thus established, 1
on hearing the words "can't employ '
you." Nothing else will make up 1
for the lack of" these qualities. No '
readiness or aptness will do it. You '
must be honest and industrious; must work
and labor; then will your "call- '
ing and election" for plpce of profit s
and trust be made sure.?[Vermont

'o which the signatures of the citizens \

solicited.]
i o t/ie Honorable the Senate and
flouse of lieprenentatirxis:
The humble Petition of the undersigned,
citizens of Pickens District,
ihowoth to your Honorable body,!
lllflt "PirWfMlK Distrint fovloriflinn- ItVjol I
wd West, or from the Saluda to the
Tucaloo river, sixty miles, and North
and South, or from North Carolina
to the Anderson line thirty-fiv<s miles)
embraces within its limits an area of
Territory much more extensive than '
that which is usually contained within
the limits especially of a Judicial
District: Your Petitioners further beg 1
to lx* permitte 1 to show to vour Hon- I
orable Body, that this great extent of
territory occasions much and serious
inconvenience?Heightened by the peculiar
geographical and topographical
characteristics of the country?to
a large majority of the people of the
District, and to crave that you will
take into consideration the propriety
of Dividing the same into 'I wo Judi
cial Districts, to bo called, the one
Calhoun, and the other Pickens, or
to be called 1 y any other names
which to your Honorable Body shall
seem most meet and proper.
Your Petitioners also desire to suggest
the' Kcowcc River as a suitable
line of Division, and to submit that
the territories included between the
Saluda and Kcowcc, and between !
the Kcowcc and Tugaloo, being re
sportively 01 an overage width ?l
thirty miles, and in length varying
from thirty to forty miles, and respectively
containing Twelve Hundred
Voters, are quite sufficient for the foi*
mat ion of two Districts of convenient
and respectable size.
The extrememeonvonioncc arising
from its present unwieldy si/.e, will :
become apparent, when it is remem
bered that the eastern and western
borders are by far the most populous
parts ol the J district, and that persons
residing on either cf these must pass
over twenty-five or t'lirty miles to
reach the Court House.
These difficulties and disadvantages
are sti'l further heightened by the
unfortunate location of the Court
House, which being situated in the
midst of a considerable extent of
rough and barren country, is approached
from no one point of the
1 )ist rict with ease or convenience.
These, and manv other, disndvnn
tages, arising from the same cause,
by preventing persons at a distance
from settling amongst us, and thus occupying,
reclaiming and bringing into
market the many thousand acres
of tillable lands, which now lie waste
and uncultivated around ns, prevent
or delay the development of its resources!
and greatly retard the prosperity
of the Distncti while the A'hole
State suffers a proportionate loss,
Irom the langor and depression of
one of its pi.i ts. These causes have
also contributed to drive many ofour j
best c'izens to hunt new homes in
the South And Wesl. wherfl tlioir in. I
dustry would be trammelled with less
inconvenience; and thus, and fom
there causes, while their energies
have lent additional impetus to the
rapid development of new States and i
Territories, pure drops have been '
drained from the life-blood of our j
State, and she has lost forever the
benefits of their labors aivl counsels
in peace, and in war of their strength
and activity.
It would bo presumptuous were the
undersigned even to hint to your Hon- i
orable nody what it so well under- ;
stands, vi/.: that?likely to be placed 1
in a hostile attitude to tin; General
Government, and surrounded bv cold
friends if not secret enemies?it iu the i
true policy of the Stale, by fostering'!
I lie peculiar interests of the various
parts of the community, to render herst-lli
as far as may be, independent of
all foreign aid or extraneous"assistance;
and no where is the truth
more dourly comprehended than lis by
your honorable body, that one great
step towards tins desired independence
has been taken, when by wise
and impartial legislation the prosper
ily of the grain growing T)'?stficts has
been permanently secured..
Believing as they do, that hy
acceding to I heir prayer yon will great j
ly advance I he interests of the nconm
of Pickens District, and calling to
mind the many occasions upon which
your Honorable Body hns evinced
the liveliest interest in die well-being I
of the Mountain Region, your Petitioners
come with more confidence
l>efore you, and feel more fully assured
ofthe success of their Prayer.
Ami youi PeiiiionerB, us in tiuiy .
