We will not express an opinión concerning all the grounds of complaint, but only say that the charge of sectarianism is undoubtedl y true. Under the pretence of opposing all sects, they have worked themselves into a sect: The causes which required God's chastizing hand upon us, were in my humble opinión, Pride, Fanaticism, and Sectarianism. Pride worked in many ways. We ascribe our conquest in argument over our opponents to ourselves. We were seeking the honors or applause of men more than God. We were some of us seeking to be leaders, ñatead of being servants: boasting too mucfi of our doings. Fanaticism: I know our enemies accused us of thisbeforewe were guilty: but this did not excuse us for running into it. A thousund e.xpressions were used very irreverently, such as 'God bless,' &c. I was afraid it was done in very many cases to the appeárance of outward piety: rather than as the hidden manna of the heart. Sometimes our meetings were distinguished by noise and confusión, and forgive me, brethren, if I express myself too strongly, it appeared to me more like Babel, than a solemn assemblage of penitents bowing in humble reverence before a holy God. I have often obtained more evidence of inward piety from a kindling eye, a wet cheek, and a choaked uterance, than from all the noise in christendom. - Sectarianism: this isways produced by some private opinión of man rather than the plain declaration of God's holy word. For years after I began to proglaim this blessed truth of Christ at the door, I never, if possible to avoid it, even alluded to secarían principies: and the firt objection my Baptist brethren brought against me, was I mixed with and preached unto all denominations, even to the Unitarians, fcc. But we have recently, my brethren, been guilty of raisiag up a sect of our own; lor the very things which our fathers did when they became sects, we have been doing. We have, like them, cried Babyion! Babyion!! Babyion!!! against all but Adventist. We have proclaimed and discussed, "pro et con" many sectarian dogmas, which has nothing to do with our message, may God forgive us. And now brethren, we have need of patience, that after we have done the will of God we may receive the promise. Yoursas ever, WM. MILLER.

Two shots were fired without nny damage being done to eithcr of the principáis. We believe that the conditions were that after the second fire the seconds should determine whether there should be another. They decided ihat there should not, and so the matter ended. The quarrel, we were informed, grew out of an insuit offered to Mr. Duralde, who was the challenging party.Preserving Fruit. - Fruits maybepre served in bottles, without sugar, foran indefinito time.
