AFRICAN COLONIZATION.

This great scheme of philanthropy is tak- ing strong hold of the affections of the Arne- rican people. Three vessels have recently sailed for the African Republic with emi- grants from our shores, two left the South, and one, lately from New York.

' You have doubtless read Bishop Scott’s letters, detailing the particulars of his recent episcopal visit to Liberia. They are valu- able, full of interest and endorse entirely this plan to civilize Africa, and to extend the blessings of Christianity to her countless hcntlien tribes.

The Rev. Mr. Gurley, an ‘eminent Colo- nizationist, has twice visit the American settlements on that coast, at first in the year 1824, and again, some four years ago. He was sent upon this last mission by our Government, to obtain authentic informa- tion of the new African Republic. Upon his return he presented to Congress at va- luable Report on the subject, which those sufliciently interested may find printed, with the Executive Documents to the U. S. Sen- ate, No. 75, 3lst. Congress, lst. Session. English philanthropists and Christians have manifested an interest in this noble work of benevolence. Two or three years ago I received, through in mutual friend, a request from Lord Lindhurst, to furnish him with full and written information concerning the Liberian Commonwealth. I regret, how- ever, that other engagements interfered with the request, which would have been otherwise a. pleasant task. The cause numbers some strong friends in Great Bri- tain, the Government being foremost.

Mr. Gurley, himself an eye-witness, gives valuable testimony. When he reached Monrovia, the capital of the Rcpitblic in I824, he met I00 blacks, assembled in the only Church then existing. This was an humble, thatched temple, and he read the first plan of civil government ever submit- ted to them, and these I00 men were all the coloured emigrants from the United States, then on the African shores.

At the time of his last visit, he found 1500 inliiibitnnts, living in well-built dwel- lie 8, some were elegant, and nearly all we l-fiirnished.—Somo were employed in agriculture, others in trade and cornnies-ce, and all “busy and happy,” to use his own expression. The Liberian Republic is now l0,000 strong in emigrants, thousands of whom were emancipated from slavery in the U. States, because there was this home pre- pared for them in their native land. In this view, the Colonization scheme is the beat anti-slavery society in the U. States. The slave owners at the South, of their own accord, and -ioillioul pay, tnanumit the ne- groes— whilst the philanthropists, both North and South, bestow the funds to send them to the African colony. This is the quiet operation of the Colonization Society. It is daily spreading, the most powerful heads, hearts, and hands of our land sup-- porting its purposes. I doubt not that the State and general Government, will, soon- er or later, lend their uid. \Vlien that atta- picious day arrives in our national history, the African exodus will be great as the Irish or German now is, to our own fevoiired shores.—VVliy?-—for one and the same r-eaeon——both will emigrate Io better their

JUNCTION OF THE TWO OCIANS. The completion of the Pacific railroad on any of the lines that have been proposed cannot do away with the necessity for water communication between the two oceans, to accommodate the heavy trade from eastern Asia and the islands in the Pacific ocean.

the arrangement was made by which the ,

management of all proceedings should be placed in the hands of Dr. B|ack——that one half of the directory should consist of Ame- rican citizens, and that one half ofthe stoclt should be open to American subscription. In order to carry out the idea of giving American notionality to the work, an appli- cation lItlS been made to the Secretary of the Navy to authorize a survey ol'the Isth- mus. That application hus been, as we learn, favourably considered, and Lieut- enant Isaac G. Strain has been selected as the person to command the detachment from the home squadron to make the survey.

Its object is, ifwe are rightly informed to give nationality to enterprise, and authen- ticity to results. The Isthmus has already been examined by Dr. Black's agents Mr.

Lionel Gisbourue and Mr. Forde, civil engineers, were sent there, and made a reconnoissance.—They landed at Port Es- coauis, an old Scotch settlement long since abandoned. Then they crossed the coast of the Cordilleras, when they were taken by

the Indians, and conducted down the Ca- lcdonia river, to Caledonia buy, on the Carribean sea. After being released, they

went to Panama, and thence to the Gulfof San Miguel, on the Pacific coast, and re- coinmenced their reconnaissance from the

west, discovering that tne Savnnu River,

empties into to the Gulf of San Miguel. a safe and capacious harbor, and is navigable for the largest vessel for seven miles; hav- ing for that distance thirty-six feet of water at low tide.

The point at which the navigation of the Suvnna ceases is but thirty-three,iriiles from Caledonia buy on the Atlantic coast. The summit range between the two oceans is only one hundred and fifty feet high, with a narrow base; and the eastern coast ridge ofthe Cordilleras is entirely cut through by the Cxiledonian river.-—-With this informa- tion, it is proposed to make a canal or rather to open a strait from the Savuna river to Caledonia bay, thirty feet deep and one hundred and sixty feet wide, without locks, so that the largest vessel may go through, passing each way. This is a great under- taking. Nothing but a strait will answer. A canal, with locks, would no more serve the purposes of commerce than a railroad. But we understand that there will be no difliculty us to the requisite means. Indeed, the connection of Sir Charles Fox with the enterprise gives it all needful stability. An agent is now in China to procure labor in such quantity that the whole line ofimpi-ove- merit may he proceeded wit at the some time under the direction of the provisional organization which has been made prepa- ratory to the final and permanent officers. —WasIii'ngton Sr-rilirsel.

Tut»: LAST Prt.irsit.—-Some years ago, in it mountainous district of Wales, there re- sided a outh who had been piously and respectably educated; but be early mani- fested it disposition to turn aside from the paths of piety and rectitude. Many trem- bled for him, and cameatly was he entree!- ed, are it was too late, to consider the nth he was pursuing, and the end to whic , if pzerscvered in, it would inevitably lead.

ut, alas! the counsel of those who sought his eternal happiness was unheeded. He seemed resolved to drink still deeper of the imaginary pleasures of the world, and if at any time the voice of conscience regained its power (and he listened with rather more attention than was usual to the cnti-cuties of his friends), his answer to them invaria- bly was, “There is plenty of time yet; God is very merciful; a few moments for repen- tencc on‘ it death-bed will'i_nulte amends for nll,—just a few words of prayer then, and all will be well.” It was in vein that he was reminded that life was uucertairi; at any moment he might be callefl from time into etcrnety; his heart was hardened against God, and he feared nothing. A short time after he had been thus warned, he went on horseback as usual, in the morning (his horse was oung‘and spirited); tiller riding for some true, it determined in his folly to attempt the ascent of one of those stee and narrow bridges so frequent- ly met witli in those parts (and from which a person cannot 'until they arrive at the summit, discern Anything on the other side) he proceeded madly urging forward his horse but scarcely had he finished thesa- cent, when a_liock of shoe side, hitherto unperceived, likewise gained the top, the bone shied, hesitated a mom then rushed prcipitately over the edge 0 the bridge into the chasm below; assistance was uickly obtained, but he seemed to be brca ing his last. He s olte——what words of prayer, think you, di he utter at that moment? prayer tw s,"truly in its awful form: those,‘ words’, ‘ere, “ Tit; dscilitefie all!" ‘Tlitlil his and idded another testi- mony to the truth of . that soriptu_i-e,Ip" that bein often I

3,500,000 Roman Catholics are found. ‘

The Jews are 60,000 in number, and the followers of that mysterious teritate, the Grand Lama of Thibet, amount to no less than half that amount. But there are creeds still more extraor- dinary throughout the enormous tract of territory which constitutes the Russian empire: 170,000 are open idolaters, and no less than 600,000 are addicted to the disgusting practice of Fetichism, worship, ing bats, cows, and every uncouth speci- men of brute, as representative of the divinity of heaven.

But as the_ wind causes the young trees to strilie their roots deeper against the coming of winter, so it is with the storms of life; they do but lead the Christian to seek a sure foundation against the the coming of those days of which it is said, ‘I have no pleasure in them.’ .
