We may say with propriety, that we know of no city, with and equal number of inhabitants, which exhibits so small a bill of mortality, weekly as ours. Peace and activity are here also, save a temporary sensation, produced by the arrest of General Smith last month; upon that subject, among honest men, but one sentiment can prevail, and that is-figuratively,-it was a poisoned arrow, shot from Missouri, by men in high places, and aimed at the heart of the innocent saints, for persecution and murder. The life, animation, and good order prevalent among us, whispers the approval of the Lord,-and that is better than silver, yea, more desirable than gold.
