: —— = a ae Office, No. 36 Commercial street. ai — SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. 17th. The following. communication has been sent.to.ue-fer -publication. We show our appreciation of the ability with which 1t is -written and of thé learned and liberal mind of its author, by inserting it in the place of what is called the “leader.” We consider it better than anything we could give our readers : THE SECOND ADVENT. The Second Coming of Christ, as foretold in the sacred Scriptures, has been a subject of much discussion for ages. Some have believed it at hand, and othets have regarded Gf'as distant; some have said it would be a spiritual coming, and others a material manifestation; some have thought it would be attended with the destruction of ‘the physical world, and. others of the prevailing church; some have presumed thst Christ would then establish a kingdom on_ this earth, and others that he would gather his elect into the eternal kindom in the lreavens. There has been room enough on many points of dispute, and the strict constructioniste atid the liberal commentators—those who adhered to the letter which killeth, and those who received the spirit which maketh alive— have each had a thousand arguments to sus~~ tain their favorite theories. % —In_these latter days we have strangely mixed what pertains to the temporal and the spiritual. Rome has’ combined the two and made its Pope a king. temporal and a head spiritual. In this country, where every man is his owu pope and not unfrequently aims at being his neighbor’s, we have done or permitted: the same thing in a different way.«-The pu’pit often preaches politics, on the newspapers become the vehicles‘of religious instruction or teaching. Ove man’s opinion may be as good as another’s—that what is termed in the Word the Second Advent, is now an event past, or at least an whose beginning. has been past for a whole century. Counting the physical the substratum for the spiritual to rest. upon—the earths the foundations of the heavens, I have not looked for any of those material changes that others have watched for, but for great revolutions in opinions—in ‘matters mental and religious—which would constitute the passing of the old and the establishment of the new among men; the destruction of the old amidst great noise, conflict and convulsions, such as men have seen in the last hundred years, and the institution of a new heaven and a new earth, such as we have had forming the last three generations past, who have made more progress than any thirty generations before them from the time of: the Christian era. I may be wrong in this; but if I can say as Cicero said of his behef in the immortality of the soul, it is a pleasing delusion—if it be a delusion—of which I would not wish any one to disabuse me. In the conflicts of the day it serves to console us with the pleasing bélief that if the present be dark the morrow will be brighter. If liberty for the moment seems to recede before dark oppression—if. governments in which we have hoped appear to be breaking up—if at times madness rules where reason should be enthroned, and endless confusion to the human eye is inevitable, where all should be harmony, beauty and love, we say to ourselves that the end of all this draweth nigh; it is the mysterious workings not of weak and blind humanity, but of the eternal mind and the almighty hand, that can not fail. Let the wind blow—let the storm rage, whether the elements perceive or we know it, or not, they are bridled. and curbed, and can wy answer the high and necessary purposes that are ordained. A write to call attention to the opinions of others, who believe that this year is the prophetic year of the second. coming of. Christ, that the time is fulfilled, that the prophesies of Daniel are unsealed, and that the hour is at hand: To this class, and it is more numerous than many suspect, all the wars and revolutions in Europe and this country have aa important significance. They say that the two witnesses spoken of in Rev. ) who for 1260 years were ¢lethed in sackcloth, are the Papal and Mahomedan powers, and reckoning 1260days as years, they make the termination ’of these powers in 1861. Thus Mahomet was born 571, and began his career at the age of thirty, or in 601. Ad. ding 1260 to that date, brings us to 1861 as the termination of the Mahomedan power. We have in this year the occupancy of a portion of Turkey and the arrangement of its internal affairs and external relations by the-allied powers, and it remains to be seen whether that interference, and what may follow the death of the late Sultan, is equivalent to the end of Turkish rule, which is the embodiment of Mahomedan power. Very generally we concede that the reco of the Turkish empire is made up. 1 In looking back, we find that the universa Romish Bishop was vested with authority ‘about the same date, and consequently the Romish power—if that be the second witnesa—should terminate in 1861. Aguin they deduced the same result from another period —‘ the setting up of the abomination that maketh desolate ""—which they affirm to be the enuaciation of the doctrine. of transubstantiation, which was promulgated in pm that date we have another I. 3—6, > ation that maketh desolate was set up,” and of ofi things; and we have in this year the tl eee 1 fig = sacergre its temSiaol all the world as the King of Italy. I believe the above gives the line of their reasoning, and the means by which they fix on this 1861 as the year of great events in the civil and religious world, and of the great event for which all others happen, to wit: the termination of the age and the incoming of anewera. Whether they are right or wrong in the one fact to which they ask attention—the coming of Christ, many will agree that this is the period of the greatest interest since man was created. Every day now ig as an age of olden . times, and every minute is big with the fate of nations. Fd A Unston Vicrory.—Late Monday evening as Mr. C. A. Crane was pense up Clay street, homeward bound, he heard cheers for Jeff. Davis proceeding from the bar-room of the St. Francis Hotel, which considerably riled his Union blood. In he walked, divested himeelf of coat, hat and cane, which he laid on the Billiard table, and stated that he came into thrash-the, traitors who cheered for Jeff. Davis. The parties who were thus jubiliant. proved to be Billy Carr and a comanion known as Frenchy, into whom Mr. rane sailed in like a man-of-war. Mr. Crane is a large man, and when his blood is up he can do some damage. At any rate he struck out. manfully, and after a few passes received reinforcements from some of the Union boys in the ee oat ern who quickly hustled Carr and Frenchy out of the house, Crane assisting the former from the door to the street with his foot, until Carr desisted from his cheers arid acknowledged the corn, that the Unionists had whipped the ‘‘ Seceshers.” Mr. Crane had ‘his shirt torn off from him in the melee, and somewhat injuredone of his hands from the force of his blows.—S. F. Call. Mr. Crane is the San Francisco agent of the TRANSCRIPT and is a specimen of the patriotism and muscle connected with our in. stitution. Wemerely mention this is a warning to seseshers and fellows who want satisfaction. MAN TRAPS.—Our neighbor of the Transcript discourses dolefully over the streets in his portion of the town, forgetting that the ways of transgressors are ere hard. But we do not feel sure of the broken leg speculation. If it is illegal, and unconstitutional, for the city to replace a broken bridge, It must be 7 wise, politic and constitutional to have the streets within the town as dangerous as possible. ever, if ‘‘ Jokal items’ Howwishes to make a strong case for the Supreme Court, he can walk off the Pine street bridge at any time, and we will furnish affidavits in advance that he has broken his neck. But we donot think it is right for the Transcript to worry the public-spi citizens of Main street with his complaints. If their ‘bridge does fall down;-the Broad street and Piety Hill men: will build them another—the fourth they have had within the last five years —without requiring a lawsuit to pay their share of it. Don’t worry them. : Lokalitums is much obliged to the Demoerat man for bis kind offer, but as he has already declined the invitation of breaking his: leg on the Main street bridge, he cannot consent to yo and break his neck on the Pine street bridge not even for the sake of making a “strong case” for the Supreme Court. Besides he is somewhat in doubt whether the promised affidavits would pass muster. If they were from any of “those conservative” cusses Conness and Edgerton converted to the Douglas Democracy on Saturday night, they certainly would not. But, neighber, youask us to do that which we can never agree to when you want us not to worry the Main street folks. We delight in worrying people—it is our especial avocation— and we only feel happy when we think we have succeeded. Tue Youne So_pieR Dying.— Bring me my knapsack,’ said a young soldier, who lay sickin one of the hospitals at Washington. ‘ Bring me my knapsack.’ ; _ ‘Whatdo you want of your knapsack ?’ inquired the head lady of the band of nurses. ‘I want my knapsack,’ again said the dying yeung man. ’ His knapsack was brought to him. and as he took it. his eye gleamed with pleasure, and his face was covered all over with a amilé, as he brought out from it his. hidden treasures. ‘ There,’ said he ‘ that‘is.a bible from my mother, .And this—Washington’s farewell address—is the gift of my father. And this’ —his voice failed him. eee The nurse looked down to seo what it was, and there was the face of a beuntiful maiden. i . ‘Now,'said the dying young soldier, ‘I want you to put all these under my pillow.’— ‘She did as she was requested, and the poor young man laid down on them to die, requesting that they should be sent to his parents when he was-gone. Calm and joyful was he in dying. It was only going from night to endless day—from death to eternal glory.-So the young soldier died. THERE was a rumor in Nevada, on Tuesday evening, before the issuance of the Demoerat Extra,.to the effect that the Federal troops at Harper’s Ferry had been defeated by the rebels.— Democrat. . We should never have known such a rumor had been current had not the Democrat announced it. {3™ The Bourd of Fire Delegates, at San Francisco, have received from ex-Chief Jno. C.

Beal’s. Cavalry company was not accepted Thursday, and could only be accepted as Infantry. It is publicly reported in ‘the street of San Faancisco, that a Captain of one of the companies mustered into service Wednesday is a rank secessionist, and that he has of late so expressed himself:.— Gen. Sumner has been furnished with evidence of his disloyality, and it is generally believe that ‘secessionists are enlisting in our ranks, and trying te obtain commissions from the Governor. a _ ARTFUL DopGE.—Quite a pretty female, but an old offender, named Mrs. Leonard, says the Call, was put into the station house at San Francisco, on Tuesday, for drunkenness. By hook, or crook, she -had shed her hoops and most of her under-wardrobe. She essayed the part of ‘‘ Ophelia,” in her last stages of lunacy, strewing imaginary flowers about her cell, and chanting refrains in lugubrious strains. The dodge didn’t work, however, for the hard-hearted turnkey could not believe her crazy enough to unlock the iron gate and let her go free. t# The London Times which is animated by no love for the United States speaking of the celebration of the last 4th of: July, by American citizens at the British capital, says itis “like the anniversary of a divorced couple’s wedding.” The London Times and all the world will see ‘before many months, that it is no divoreement, but rather an elopement. Goop Pay.—The “ steamboat” company on McAdams’ creek, took out last .week, between Monday morning and Thursday . ’ evening, one thousand dollars. This is very little over the average pay of this claim all the time.THE DIsTaNces.—Alexandria is six miles south of Arlington Heights; Fairfax Court House is fourteen miles west of Alexandria ; Centerville is seven miles west of Fairfax, and Manasas Gap Junction is seven miles west of Centerville and the Junction. te When we asked a man a few days since what induced him te make a law student of his son, he replied, ‘Oh, he always was a lying little cuss, and I thought I’d honor his leading prospensity.” Tinie. , te A joke is told of au eccentric divine, who, while preaching one evening, was somewhat annoyed by one of the feminine gender who after a while arose and walked out. There goes the devil’s daughter!” said he. The lady turned around, and in a polite manner exclaimed : ** Good night, father! ” fe By the arrival of the ship Speedwell, 23 days from Honolulu, dates to the 22d ult. have been received. At Hilo a military company composed of forty petsons, had been formed, and their services are to be tendered to the President of the United States.

And this’ —his voice failed him. eee The nurse looked down to seo what it was, and there was the face of a beuntiful maiden. i . ‘Now,'said the dying young soldier, ‘I want you to put all these under my pillow.’— ‘She did as she was requested, and the poor young man laid down on them to die, requesting that they should be sent to his parents when he was-gone.
