A writer to the -Chicago Viiiverse:
Bcnry C. Wright, in a letter from a
'Cape Cod Camp-meeting," describes
'a great gathering of self-fogttiDg, progressive
men and women, met to find
jotwhero they wish to go, and to help
jne another to go there." These "selfforgetting,
progressive men and women
'subscribe to the following as the basis
jf their religion :?
"Resolved, That the religion of Fact,
which is to be the religion of the future
recognizes and inculcates the "great
truth that man is before and above all
jutside gods, as an object of thought
ioVe and* worship, and that human
beings, as*husbands and wives, parents
ind children, brothers and sisters, and
n all relations, do and ought to bestow
heir thoughts and affections on one
mother, rather than on vrfiat is recoglized
and worshiped as God by Chrisendom
and -by all the religion of the
rorld."
The writer gives an account of Ma
ruly great and nobU woman,'.' a priest
tssat tho altar thej^have raised. Her
lusband asked tins noble-creature, "who
las most of your thoughts,plans, interests
?your husband, or an crj/sm* God f"
5he replied ; "I do not know who, nor
vfiftfc/. npr where God is, outside of my
lusband.* My hnspqnd is my manifest
jQd. Is God outsido " of. my husband
.personal Being, with heart, mind,
bought and feeling ? Does ho pour
ijfon me his boundless, infinite love,
lay by day, hour.1 by hour ? Pocs he
are for me as he cares fpr all-, with a
endcr, patient, fatherly love??
^uch a God, as Jar as He is true and
ight, according to my ideas .of truth
ind righteousness, no farther, I can ad?1W
niva mr
houghts" and interests to .Him beforo
iy husband."
The above is another of the peculiar
issues" whose hot-bc#is in that pious,
Itate, the home of Sjjteoner, Phillips,
{ tier, Whittomorc,' and a host of*kinred
spirits. If the woman referred to,
bove, is a specimen of the women of
lassachuselts, God help those who
iny be below this "great and noble woinn,"
in the scale of humanity.
The writer of the letter is a Radical
f the first water?was an abolitionists,
nd has made rapid strides towards
erfection, having reached Atheism and
Yce Love. If these " bolder minds"
ontlnuc on in the inarch of improvement;
they may find that they will not
b "a whit Jess easy to drown, than to
ting to land a Irfte hooked fish."
leroic Consuls--'The Right Man
iu the Right Place.
The following circumstance occurred
cccntly at Santiago de Cuba; and was
oticcd in the telegraph reports.
A seaman of English parents, but
American born, was apprehended as a
libuster, confined in prison, and after
sham trial condemned to be shot, on
ery improbable evidence. On the moriog
appointed for execution, he was
lurched to the usual place afnidsi a
how of bloody solemnity. * Mr. Rainsen
the British, and the American
ice-Consuls having previously made
fforts in his favor, followed the prisner
to tho place to make further efforts
ir his release. Mr. R., read a protest
i behalf of himself and the American
lonsol, declaring tho prisoner innocent
f the charge, demanding bis immedite
release?declaring if the uofortuate
rasp's life was taken, the actors
rould be guilty of murder, and answerMo
tn tho onvernmcnts of Encland and
M,v ~ O' U
lie United States. During the readig
the prisoner fainted, and the Spanih
troops were impaticn for the sacrice.
After a consultable the Spaniards
iformed the Consuls that their rcniontrancc
came too late, that the prisoner
ad been found guilty and sentenced
or taking up arms against Spain, and
he sentence must bo carried into effect,
nd the order waB given to "proceed."
n an instant, ConsuHtamsden and the
Lmerican Consul rustjed with their flags
icfore the leveled rifles of the Spanish
roops, in front of the unfortunate man
nd addressing the officers in command
aid : "Gentlemen, as Consul of IIis
Jritanio Majesty, I cannot stand by and

His very beiug, was tho soul of

icnt, that his noble spirit want times,
little .wayward, yet, never uDder any
ircumsfances, wan he known to make
be faintest allusion to, or disclosure of
rofcssional secrete. Being n person af '
aturally strong, -religious convictions^
nd tendencies, lie always recognized
is responsibility to his creator and
boroughly comprehended the delicate
jlatjoos existing between man and man.
nd nclicc the grand aim of his life was,
) act ju?t!y and uprightly towards all
icn. Dr Salmond was not a profesjr
of Christianity, and yet no one,.we
cnturc to affirm, ever did or conld posibly
have loved the Presbyterian
iliurch, which was the church of liis 1
ithcrs, more than did ho; he loved
bosc who ministered at her alta-s and
as ever ready and willing to share with
icra, the last loaf; he loved the prcsgc
of the church, and above nil, her
octrincs, and we know, that the carest
desire of his heart was, to become
sincere christian, .
At tl.e breaking out of the Into wnr
etween the two sections of the Union,
c enlisted f?s the surgeon of the 2nd
. C. Rcgi merit, but was subsequently '
rQmoted to the office of brigade surcon
"of Korshaw's Brigade. As a sol- j
ier in the above mcniioncd capacity,
is qualities were of the highest order.
0 say, that, he was a patriot, conveys
ut a faint idea of his true character,
1 that hchulf. Indeed, he was more
inn a patriot. lie not only discharged
is individual duties with a punctuality
nd fidelity that arrested the attention
nd enlisted the admitafion of his comatriots,
but by his firmness and iliscro- i
on. frequently recruited the ranks, by
mdiug forward unw?lluig;8o1dicjs, and
ot he did it with so much gentleness
nd such nice discrimination as to
haracter and motive and regard for the
rclings of others, as to render his conuct
u subject of general remark. In i
ointoffact, he did none injustice, and
ct rendered complete justice to the
ruse and country. In the hospitals i
nd on the f>:-ld: whenever and wbercv
r duty or honor on lied, he was present.
Jeer to do and to dare, even to death

that they were of the purest ordcr.-pSolfishness

believed that the means of grace instituted
in the church, were the only
channels through which the merits of
Christ had a lodgment iu the soul. The
family alter was a fixed thing with him,
and the earliest recollections of his children
are connected with their fotheir at
family prayer and the pious instructions
given to them tuorniog ami evening by 1
their devoted parents. Who will won- J
der then, that two of his sons arc now
upon the walls of Zion, and the other *
children all members of the church ? J
This greatly sustained him in his painful
illness of several mouths duration; G?d
nut only heard his prayers in calling ull ]
his children from darkness to light, but
tliey were all in the church- t>f his own
choice. Thus*Was God especially bless- i
cd hitn in his desires respecting his *
children Hi* last days were 1 ull of 1
comfort spiritually, though suffering sc- i
veroly in body. Strong faith see'iuncl I
to pervade his whole stiff!, at.d bring t
