Can you not suggest to us some Evangelist, able, eloquent, and prudent, who might he induced to visit the South? The prejudices of the community against the ancient gospel have been very much broken down by your visit; and all we need now, under the bless ing of God, to reap an abundant harvest, is the labors of such an Evangelist. If you will suggest such a one, I think that, though we are poor, we can bear his expenses. Truly the harvest is plenteous and the laborers are few.

T. W. RUCKER. Jackson, Louisiana, March 18, 1839. This is to inform you that, owing to bad weather and other circumstances, I did not get up to Consolation until yesterday. The day being fine, we had a very crowded house. After speaking I made a proposition to enlist soldiers under the banners of King Jesus, when three came forward, which, with the four who came forward when you were there, makes seven--all of whom I immersed yesterday. Many left the place weeping. I am happy to say that your preaching there was not without much effect-more, in fact. at that place than any other from which I have heard. Sectarianism, I think, has at that point received its death stab. There is so much partyism in this place, that I am inclined to think the cause of primitive Christianity will progress but slowly.

B. L. D'SPAIN. Georgetown, Kentucky, March 28, 1839.

I reached home from I ouisville, where I bad the pleasure of seeing and hearing you, evening before last. I labored two weeks in the city, and obtained forty-four excellent additions to the congregation of our Lord. The brethren discharged their duty faithfully, and they merit the assistance of the Evangelists. They are much elated; and they feel disposed to put forth their energies anew in this glorious cause. Your discourses had a wonderful effect, and I made the best use I could of the happy influence which had been produced.

Brother Morton returned to my help; hut he was so unwell that he was compelled to leave for home. He immersed four persons on the Lord's day following your visit to Shelbyville. I regretted deeply that I could not be with yon in Georgetown. The circumstances were imperious for me to remain, and I know you would have advised me to J. T. JOHNSON.

that course,

Erwinton, Sonth Carolina, February 25, 1839; Nothing of much importance to communicate. The Baptists continue to exclude their members for "heresy," as they call the adoption of the word of the Lord, as the man of our counsel. Two were excluded in this district ten days ago-one preacher in Savannah, Georgia, since we were there-and one brother in Augusta, Georgia, lately. Two joined us in Augusta from the Baptists when I was there last week. The leaven is working throughout this district. EPHRAIM A. SMITH.

Bogg's Store, Alabama, March 7, 1839.

On Lord's day last three were added, among whom brother Willis Nall, an intelligent teacher. May God speed him in the path of usefulness! The signs indicate a rich harvest, even in latitude 32. On yesterday an intelligent gentleman informed me that Paton Graves, from the pulpit, washed his handkerchief with tears logical, because of the refined infidelity of Campbellism, which is destined to a wide sweep in despite of all effort." Poor man! Brother Campbell, you are commanded "to weep with those who weep." But may I tell this veteran of Methodism that he may belabor himself versus the truth until the finger of God gives the last touch to the great drama, and it will only be like the soft summer's zephyrs upon a mountain of stubborn granite; for God has written bitter things as the doom of that anarchical city, and the gates of hades cannot thwart his prophecies. Five years ago I ordered the Harbinger to the said Graves; and, as Doctor Grigsby informed me, he returned it, and said, 'be considered his name disgraced merely because it was written on the envelope.' This is equal to Judge Innate, who declared himself competent to the decision of an important case without law or testimony!! Brother Curtis is daily expected from Tuscumbia to peregrinate the South as an Evangelist. Thank the Lord! The beloved Doctor M Means has launched his bark Instructor on the high seas of gospel grace. May Israel's God pilot her safe through! O how condoling these! JA. BUTLER. Rocheport, Missouri, March 11, 1839. We had yesterday a large concourse of people collected here, to hear our much belov ed and very intelligent brother Thomas Allen; who addressed them much to the purpose, and to their edification, as appeared to us. He is a choice brother in the Lord, and is doing much good in the great cause of our Redeemner. Six persons united with us after the discourse, which makes our number not far from a hundred members.

THOMAS HART.

Springfield, Missouri, March 10, 1836. Brother Haden came here some two or three years since to attend to the duties of his office (Register of the Land Office,) and began to preach. The opposition was, perhaps, never exceeded at any time or place. He, with some other preaching brethren, succeeded in convincing several persons belonging to the sects. A congregation was organized eight miles in the country. Brother Potter and brother Harper were made bishops. I migrated hither in the month of November, 1837, and last spring we organized in town with fifteen

members. Brother Haden is our bishop, whose oratory and biblical knowledge are not surpassed in this state-allowing me to he judge. Since our organization there have been inore than double the number added by confession and immersion, and from the different kingdoms contiguous-some Methodists, some Baptists, and some Cumberland Presbyterians-and I assure you that those who have joined us from those parties were amongst the most intelligent of their members. The Lord will bless Zion; be has not forgotten us in these remote ends of the earth; for we have frequently sat together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. J. M'BRIDE.

Centreville, Wayne county, Indiana, March 1, 1839.

I am always gratified to learn through your valuable periodical, that sinners have bowed to the peerless authority of the Messiah, by being buried with him in baptism; and believ. ing that such news is equally grateful to the lovers of the primitive gospel. I would simply stale that three worthy heads of families were immersed in a stream near this place, at two successive meetings in January. When I was yet a Pedobaptist preacher, and occnsionally reflected on the action, or so called "mode of baptism," I generally concluded that immersion would be extremely inconvenient, and even prejudicial to the health of ail engaged in it, and could not be performed without producing circumstances incompatible with the sanctity of the ordinance. But from observation and experience, I am entirely satisfied that my conclusions were incorrect. The most profound stillness and becoming solemnity marked the crowd on the bank, in the above cases of baptism. I havə been informed that a thoughtful sectarian remarked rather soberly, that "if these people will go into the water in the cold month of January, what may we not expect when warm weather comes!" Prospects for further increase. May God bless all the consecrated brethren! SAMUEL K. HOSHOUR.

Martinsburg, Knox county, Ohio, November 13, 1838. On the last Saturday and Lord's day in August we held a two days' meeting, two miles to the west of this place; during which seven persons turned to the Lord and were immersed The disciples praised God and took courage A few days since I visited Mo. hickinville, and delivered three discourses, and two persons were persuaded to put on Christ. I then returned to this place, and on the 2d Lords day in October I delivered two discourses-one at 11 o'clock and one at candle-lighting. At the close of the last two happy converts made the good confession, and were immersed the same hour of the night. On the 3d Saturday and Lord's day in October I attended the co operation meeting in Kenton, Ohio. A number of proclaiming brethren were in attendance. During the meeting six persons turned to the Lord. On last Lord's day I preached about 4 miles from this place: at the close of the discourse I gave an invitation to the disobedient to put on Christ, when one man came forward and confessed the Lord, and we repaired to the water and I immersed him. Thus you see the glorious cause for which you and others are pleading is still on the march in this section of the country. We have some noble. minded disciples in this part of the county, who are determined to support the gospel. We have some few, and only a few, who oppose co-operation. And, brother C., let me tell you, there are a few proclaimers of talent who oppose the co-operation of the churches advocated in the Harbinger. I want you to lift your pen once more, and put a sharp point to it, and give us another essay on this subject, and put down the Lilliputians who oppose this great matter. DAVID G. MITCHELL. Vernon, Indiana, November 20, 1838 The truth is prevailing in this region. Brother Newton Short is now with us, and has immersed about 24 persons within one month. May the good Lord grant that we may have more faithful laborers, public and private, in his vineyard.

J. B. NEW. Williamsville, New York, October 29, 1838. Brother Shepard and myself visited the few disciples in Vermont. There were 27 enlisted during our stay. The truth travels very slow in this northern region.

JOHN M. BARTLETT.

Daviess county Kentucky, September 25, 1838. Since I have been a subscriber for the Millennial Harbinger, we have organized and added about 60 disciples on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief corner stone. I have found many a good lesson in the Harbinger to tell to a dying people. We would greatly rejoice if some of the teaching brethren would direct their course this way. SAMUEL HAYNES. Williamsville, New York, November 21, 1838. We built a meeting-house, 45 by 30 feet, in this place, last summer, and held a several days' meeting in it a few days ago; at which time there were twelve introduced into the kingdom of heaven, and prospects good for more. Brother Silas E. Shepard was the principal speaker. Brother J. M. Bartlett was also here; but took sick, so that he was unable to preach. BENJAMIN HERSHEY. Paris, Kentucky, November 19, 1838.

On the Friday before the first Lord's day in this month, f, with several others, com inenced a several days' meeting at New Bethlehem. Twelve came forward-nine for immersion. Brethren White, Moore, M'Cormick, and Stivers were present. There was great joy among the saints.

On the second Lord's day, at my meeting at Paris, there were two immersed. Brother Stivers authorized me to state, that within the last year, in the counties of Clark, Estill, and Madison, in which himself and John R. White have labored, upwards of one hundred persons have been added by faith and baptism: and that at a late meeting held on Slate, in Montgomery county, nineteen persons made the good confession, and put on the Lord. A. RAINES. Evansville, Indiana, January 1, 1839.

I have long thought that I would write to you of the want of the knowledge of the true gospel here. There are no reformers here but my wife and myself. We came here a year ago from Cincinnati, and feel that it would be a source of much comfort if those of our society, who may be travelling past, would call on us. I see pressing solicitations for you to visit many places beyond us: if God please to send you this way, we should be happy to see you.

We have a pleasant and growing town, and, I think, a field for the reformation. We have many privileges here, but gospel privileges; and though it is at all times our happi. ness to enjoy these, we feel at a loss for the society of those with whom we can safely exchange the sentiments which we feel of joy and grief-happiness or misery. Not to weary you with things that you are familiar with, I will only say, that, by recommending our situations to the brethren, it may be the ineans of happiness to us, as well as relief to many a bond sinner. R. W. DUNBAR.

Euclid, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, February 13, 1839. We have just closed an eight days' meeting, attended by that excellent brother John Henry. Seven were immersed, among whom I had the pleasure of introducing my sister and her daughter into the kingdom of Jesus. Three others were added, who had heen immersed. We had truly a time of rejoicing. Ithink it was one of the best meetings we ever hud in this place. We had a crowded house and attentive hearers. We may safely say, that the good seed is sown in the hearts of many, and we anticipate ere long to reap a rich harvest. The next Lord's day three more were immersed for the remission of sins.May the Lord bless the labors of brother John Henry, that he may turn many to righte ousness and receive a crown of rejoicing in the kingdom of Jesus! and God shall have the praise through Jesus Christ. W. O'CONNER.

Baltimore, Maryland, January 31, 1839. In the last holidays two of our brethren went to visit a brother and sister who had formerly lived in this city, but now reside at New London Cross Roads in the state of Pennsylvania, about 70 miles from this This brother and sister, though by themselves, were in the practice of commemorating the death of our Lord Jesus on the first day of the week, Though alone, and feeble folks, yet this ordinance was kept. The visiters from this called the attention of the people of the neighborhood to the gospel and ancient order of things. Five were immersed, and four intelligent persons from the Baptists joined. Hence, with the first named brother and sister, there is a little body of eleven disciples in that place, professing to obey the Lord in worshipping him. Religious worship, disjoined from justice and virtue, can on no account whatever find acceptance with the Supreme Being; because it is for the sake of man that worship is required, that he may be rendered better and acquire those pious and virtuous dispositions in which his highest improvement consists. Our brethren were from home not more than seven days. We have heard from these dear brethren since: they have been visited by brother R. Ferguson of Virginia, and one of the brethren of this church, who gives a good account of their well-doing.

We are going on comfortably-no discord nor confusion; but peace and love prevail. One was immersed, and one who had been amongst the Calvinists, a promising man, joined this month Our brother Coleman, from Charlottesville, Va., was with us, and the brethren from Philadelphia part of the month of December last.

WILLIAM CARMAN.

Grant county, Wisconsin Territory, January 30 1839. There are a few disciples located here. We met on the second Lord's day in October, when eleven of us united together, taking the New Testament for our guide to the New Jeruselem, where troubles cease and the weary are at rest. Two more have joined since. Would to God that our brethren in the States would send us a proclaimer, or some of them take a notion to make this their home; for the harvest is truly great and the laborers few. I know of but one proclaimer in the reformation in this territory, and he has bad health; he lives some 25 or 30 miles distant from us.

PHILIP R. CAMPBELL.

Mount Gilead, Marion county, Ohio, February 13, 1839. After a tedious tour to the West, I have arrived at home, and seat myself to give you some information respecting the progress of reformation in this section of country.During the year 1838, for which period I was appointed to ride as an evangelist, there have been added to the Lord nearly one hundred persons. I have been chosen again by the same churches to labor for the present year, and I feel humbly confident that if the brethren will do their duty many will be added to the saved. Lord grant that the standard of truth inay he unfurled in every land!

WILLIAM DOWLING.

We have some strictures on Christianos to offer; but as we would not prejudge him, nor decide for our readers till they have heard him, we shall reserve our review till he has done. Meanwhile, let him be heard with candor, as he is a candid man, aud then we shall try his reasonings. A.C.

PROSPECTUS

OF THE

LITERARY AND MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINE. THIS work is not designed to be the advocate of Sectarianism, nor the organ of proscriptive Partyism; but, on the contrary, as its name imports, it will be devoted to literature and general miscellany. It will be a medley, embracing every variety of topics consistent with the character of such a work. As the benefit of the reader is its principal object, and truth its chief aim, it will closely investigate and scrutinously examine all subjects consistent with its nature and design It will fearlessly advocate TRUTH, and boldly expose ERROR wherever found, and under whatever garb manifested. This attack, however, will be directed against Principles, and not Men. The wise saying, Hear the other party, will always be borne in mind. To this end, every one, as far as limits will allow, Shall have the privilege of presenting his views to the public through the pages of the Magazine, provided he does not outrage common courtesy

Much excellent matter will be gleaned from the labors of several distinguished men of liberal minds, who rank high among renowned critics; and much aid is expected from respectable and intelligent correspondents, whose age, experience, and literary attainments entitle them to a candid, fair, and impartial hearing In short, the Editor will use every exertion to make it a useful and valuable periodical, suitable for every class of readers. Subservient to this design, in the course of the work the following subjects will receive attention:

1. The utility, importance, and advantage of a good education.

2. "The inadequacy of the present systems of education to develope the powers of the human mind, and to fit and prepare man for happiness and social enjoyment."

3. The probability and necessity of a thorough reformation in the present systems of education

4. A close investigation and critical examination of the subject of English Grammar. 5. The incompatibility of several systems of English Grammar with the genius of our language, and their incompetency to impart a correct knowledge of our vernacular tongue. 6. "Occasional notices of other works, including reviews of new works, bearing on any one of the subjects within our precincts.

3. Give a passing notice of events and occurrences of the day.

In short, every thing and any thing, tending to interest or amuse the reader, shall be deemed the lawful province of the Magazine.

With these general statements concerning the design and the course which it means to pursue, we commit the Magazine to the wave of public patronage, firmly relying on a generous and humane public for support, particularly those who prize mental improvement higher than all earthly emoluments--who had rather see this nation prosperous, intelligent, and happy. than see any party rule the people distracted by division, feuds, and intestine broils.

SUPERNATURAL FACTS.

AN ADDRESS, delivered by A. CAMPBELL, to the MAYSVILLE LYCEUM, on Monday evening, the 25th March, 1839, and published by the unanimous request of the Institution.

GENTLEMEN

In testimony, not merely of my sense of the honor you have done me, in unanimously electing me an honorary member of your Institution, nor of the high regard which I entertain for such of your association as I have the pleasure personally to know; but rather in proof of the high estimate I have formed of the great and useful objects of your Lyceum, do I at this time appear before you. On every other account I should certainly at this time have declined a task for which I am so ill qualified.— Fatigued as I am with the labors of a six months' tour, only closed this forenoon in this city, and not having had an hour to arrange my thoughts on any subject since I received from your committee an invitation to address you; I should, in justice to myself, as well as to the expectations expressed by the large assemblage before me, have deferred this address to a more convenient and propitious season.. But, as in the routine of the reigning manners and customs of society, we sometimes make visits of friendship, as well as fashionable visits, I prefer to appear before you in the guise of the former, rather than in the disguise of the latter. In the one case dress and display are supreme; in the other, the frank and unadorned congratulations and communications of friendship and of the social feelings have the ascendancy. Without the corsets and trappings of a set speech and a fashionable address, I propose then, gentlemen, to offer you a few practical and useful remarks connected with the great object of your association-viz. “Mental and Moral Improvement.'
