We have no means of knowing accu- rately what was the numerical strength of these parties respectively in the Church at large, before the division took place. Between the years 1830 and 1838 sometimes one and sometimes the other was in the ascendency in the General Assembly, as the vote on questions in- volving certain points of difference would indicate. And yet, we must form our opinion in this way with very liberal al- lowance. For votes dd not always rep- resent views and principles, hut some- times approval and disapproval of meas- ures and methods.
Looking from this point of time at things as they then existed in the Church, divisions would seem to have been n- evitahle. There were differences, great and wide-spread, on important doctrines, and church polity and modes of church work Men on either side were honest in their convictions and uncompromising in their attitude. One has said: "The Presbyterian Church might have strug- gled along, as have other denominations, holding together hy her government without any real agreemeut in doctrine or order "# But this would have been & sorry holding together of materials, such as compose the Presbyterian Church. With their deep inwrought convictions, and their manly independence of thought, and speech, and action, without unity there would have been the

absence of the essential elements of strength and the presence of every ele- ment of weakness. Better, it would seem, they should have separated for the time-better for the cause of peace, bet- ter for the promotion of efficiency on both sides, better for the removal of dif- ferences of views and principles, better for the ultimate unity and barmony and prosperity of the whole Church. Sepa- rately cach party righted itself as perhaps it would not, nor indeed could, while together. The divided condition which preceded, and not the division itself, is to be regarded as tbe great calamity of the Church.
Of the actual division in the Presby- tery of Carlisle we shall speak in another article.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Historical, Biographical and Genealogical,
CXXXIV.
PAUL'S CREEK AND VALLEY .- When and why was this name changed to Powell's ? In looking over some old documents we find that it was uniformly written and printed Paul's.
PAPER MILL IN LEBANON COUNTY .- By an advertisement of John A. Heilman in 1804, we learn that he had been carry- iug on the manufacture of paper for thir. teen years. Where was this mill located, and at wbat datc was the manufacture stopped.
EICHOLTZ, THE PAINTER .- What is known of Jacob Eicholtz, the portrait painter, of Lancaster, who bad his studio at the residence of his brother George, on Pine street, in 1822 Many of our citi- zens then had portraits painted by him, and a list of these would be of great in- terest and value.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIETY OF HARRISBURG was organized in 1817, as the fourth annual report was read at a meeting held October 12, 1821. Are the
reports and proceedings of this early as- sociation in existence ? If so, they should be deposited among the archives of the Dauphin County Historical Society.
IN THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY .- Care- full and systematically we are going over the records at Carlisle, and although it will be some time before we shall com- plete our present researcbes, we have learned much of the early history of the Valley. The emigration of families, their connection with each other, their early settlement in that beautiful country lying between the Susquehanna and the Potomac, and their transit to the lovely valleys southward, we have had a chance to study. We have learned bits of biography and genealogy, which many in the near future will appreciate and carefully preserve. The history of the Cumberland Valley has not been written but we hope to see the day when some one fascinated by research, and charmed with its lorc, will take up the subject, which so many pirates have attempted to do and of course signally failed. To prepare the history of any locality re- quires years of patient labor and research, and it cannot be expected that much value attaches to hasty information unreliably given and loosely thrown together. In a few weeks we hope to present some con- tributions to the bistory of the Vatley "west of ye Sasquahannah," and to the south ward.

CXXXV.
"MILLIONS FOR DEFENCE, BUT NOT ONE CENT FOR TRIBUTE," were the ut- terances of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney when Ambassador to the French Repub- lic in 1796.
THE PENNSYLVANIA NAVY .- In an historical article going the rounds of the newspaper press, a brief reference is made to the British ship Augusta which was blown up by the explosion of her maga . zine in the Delaware during the Revolu- tion in an engagement between her and the' Continental Navy. Credit should rest where credit is due. On the 23d of October, 1777, the Pennsylvania navy, under Commodore John Hazle- wood, of Philadelphia, resisted the at- tempt made by the British vessels, Au- gusta, Roebuck and Merlin, to pass up the Delaware. It was the Pennsylvania navy which attacked these war vessels, and through its fireships succeeded in setting fire to the Augusta and Merlin, while the Roebuck succeeded through the rising of the tide to float off and escape.
BREVET MILITARY RANK IN THE REVOLUTION .- By the following resolu- tion, which is found in the journal of Congress, volume viii, p. 407, under the date of Thursday, September 30, 1783, it will be seen that our statement in regard to brevet titles in the war of the Revolu- tion was correct.
"Resolved, That the Secretary of War issue to all officers in the army, under the rank of major general, who hold the same rank now that they did in 1777, a brevet commission one grade higher than ther present rank, having respect to their seniority; and that commissions for full colonels be granted to the lieutenant col- onels of 1777-the resolutions of May 27th, 1778, not withstanding."
FIRST IRON WORKS IN PENNSYLVANIA -The following may. perchance, satisfy a correspondent: In 1717 Jonathan Dick- inson spoke of the great expectations of

the iron works, forty miles up the Schuyl kill. Where they were situated is not so well settled. It is supposed that the ref- ereuce was to the Coventry forge, on the French creek, in Chester county, which is said to have been built by a man named Nutt. It is reported to have gone into operation in 1720 But a forge is also mentioned in March, 1719 or 1720, at Manata wney, now in Montgomery coun- ty. In 1728 Mr. Logan wrote that there were four furnaces in Pennsylvania in blast. One of these was in Lancaster county -probably built by Kurtz in 1726. These four forges were those at Coventry, Manatawney, Kurtz's (in Lancaster county, ) and probably works said to have becn erected by Sir William Keith, be. tween 1700 and 1726." Which of these four furnaces was the first, or who first made iron in them, is a thing which we presume nobody knows.
THE INDIAN TATAMY.
[ The following sketch of the celebrated Tatamy, an Indian of the Delaware tribe, was sent us several years ago by the late Jacob Fatzinger, Esq, of Northampton county. ]
Funda Tatamy was born in the Pro. vince of New Jersey about the year 1695, but when young moved into the forks of the Delaware. He acted as interpreter and peacemaker for the Proprietaries for a number of years. During the year 1758 he was sent by the Governor of New Jersey with a message to the Minnisink Indians. He also served as interpreter to the celebrated missionary, David Brainerd, became a con vert to his religion, himself and wife receiving the rite of baptism on the 21st of July, 1745, the former receiving the name of Moses Funda Tatamy. had a Ta- tamy made a settlement and plantation near a place called the "Orch- ard" in the vicinity of the present village of Stockertown, in Northampton county, previous to the year 1733. In that year a survey, including the settlement and plantation was made for him, the tract containing 315 acres and allowance. This tract was patented to him by patent dated April 28, 1738 (called patent No. 1), "in consideration of the friendship we bear and the regard always expressed for the
Indians of this our Province." But since the tract of land granted by this patent was subject to an entailment. a new patent was given to him, his heirs and assigns, dated January 22, 1741, upon condition of his paying the sum of £48 8s 6d. and surrendering patent number one, in order to be canceled. This tract afterwards became the property of William Allen, as the following receipt will show : " Received, Philadelphia, January 8, 1760, of Melchior Stecher £56 in part of interest due from George Shom. bach on the track of land of 315 acres I sold Shombach in Northampton county, 27th December. 1753, who hath since sold the same to Melchior Stecher, to whom I am to convey said tract of land in fee, upon his, the said Melchoir Stecher, pay- ing the remaining principal of the con- sideration money, being £222 14s and £10 13s 10d, being the balance of interest due thereon the 27th December. 1759. William Allen." It seems that the title from Allen to Stecher was not perfected during the lifetime of the former; for we find that Edward Shippen, as executor of William Allen, deceased, by deed July 24, 1800, conveyed said tract. called "Tatamy's tract, " to Henry and Ma thias Stecher devisees of Melchior Stecher, de ceased. After a careful search among the records of Northampton county we have been un- able to find the conveyance to W. Allen or a recital to that effect. The missing deed, if found, would supply a link in the history of Tatamy. Of his death we have no information. Of the descend- ants of Funda Tatamy we know but lit- tle. He had sons, William and Nicho. las. On the 8th day of July, 1757, Wil liam was shot by a Scotch-Irish lad while straying from a body of Indians, who were marching from Allen to Easton under escort of Captain Forț Jacob Arndt, from the effects of which he soon after died. Nicholas died near Easton some time during the year 1784, and left a wife, Ann, and a son called Moses. The records of Northampton county show that Ann made her mark, but Moses wrote his own name in a fair handwriting.
