Ew-ORLEANS.

We have received, from very respec-
table source, a communication relative 10
the moral condition of New-Orleans. ! ne
former part embracing structures on some
of Mr.. Shedd's statements at page 100
of our laStvolulpe, and bearing severely
uuon Rev. Mr.. Clapp, successor OF Rev. MIR
Larned, we must decline publishing, for
various reasons. The concluding part we
insert with pleasure ~ Y. Dos.
How does it happeu that this point New
Orleans has been neglected The small
est destitute village in the Western States
seems to excite more commsSeratlon III
the hearts of our eastern Christians, and
among the Missionary Societies at the
North, than this most important City, al
ready containing population $4,000, and
rapidly increasing. How strange is it,tllat
the most important post in our country,
should be wholly forgotten. Fifty thou
sand souls inhabiting spot Of ground not
more than two miles in length, and one in
breadth and only three small Protestant
congregations. Christians, thiDk OF tins
Christians, look at the mighty valley ofthe
Mississippi, already teaming with popu-
Iation of more than three millions and IN
creasing with a rapidity unexampled
look at its water courses already navigated
bv more than three hundred and thir-
ty steamboats, for this mighty valley
there can be BUT one OUTLET. At this
outlet, stands the City of New Orleans.
And now Christians ask yourselves what
must be the influence Of that City on the
millions who are to people the immense
and fertile vallies Of the West. Look
too at Cuba and see the connexion that
must necessarily subsist between the fertile
Islands and this place andsnow ask your
selves-can we any longer neglect that inn
portant post and be guiltless Remember
too that your sons and your daughters are
focking hither, to fill up and increase
our City are you willing that they and
their families should remain exposed to all
the temptations which asSaii them--that
they should live without God and die with
out hope =? Hundreds of those who have
been brought up in the steady habits. of
New England, here throw off all restraint,
disregard the Sabbath, ana indulge in all
manner of Righteousness.
. 1t is melancholy fact, that great num-
bers of our citizens from England and
New ork keep their stores and counting
rooms open on the Sabbath morning, and
spend their afternoons in idlenes and dissi-
patton. Will you make no effort, mot even
to rescue those who are bone of your bone
and flesh of your flesh, from the jaws of
the destroyer ! All Christians, could you
see whist we see land feel what we feel, you
would no longer turn deaf ear to orr CT
ty--you would come and help US.

KEEPING AT HOME.

might 1eel some neSltatlOn IN the intro
duction of this subject, if had not sane
ton which none can we'll dispute, that OF
the apostle Paul, who expressly commands
that tho young women be keepers al
home.' Now, | have applied to the learn
ned, to ascertain whether the words in the
original or by any possible rendering, might
be made to contradict what they seem to
enjoin, since this is no unusual mode of dis
pensing withpcssages that may not suit our
taste or convenience; but believe in this
instance, am tolerably safe and nothing
remains to be done, as we cannot refute the
command, but to conform our habits to the
genuine sense it. 1t is obvious, howev-
er, that it would be impracticable for fe-
males to observe and profit by the expert
ence and conduct of others, and to perform
many of the duties which devolve upon
them in society, il these words were to be
understood in their widest meaning; they
can only be designed to correct that pro-
pensity to gadding, that disinclination to the
retired occupations ofhome, which too ma
ny have evinced, from the days Of the apos-
ties to the present time. If the heart is a.
broad, the footsteps will follow, under some
pretence or other. Those who cannot re-
sist all invitation, who seize every oppor-
tunity, or create opportunities whore none
exist, to crafty this dangerous passion,
should have such text of Scripture. set be-
fore them continually, in all its forcible sim
plicity and unequivocal meaning, before
they venture upon direct breach of the
command. 1t is surprizing that many who
profess Difference for the Bible, should
act in this, and some similar instances, as
if no such injunctions could be found in it.
A thoughtless creature must she be, and
CIPHER in her family, who inquiries schy she
must keep at home. Those who are ha-
bitually absent from home underrate their
own Importance, for their presence ought
toibe as essential there, as that of Gen
eral at his post; and it would be no breach
of charity to presume that something was
amiss in such families. Jane Taylor.
Several applicable ms have been made to
tho Greek committee of this city, from in
diyiduals and companies of young men, de-
sirous of adventuring in tho service of
Greece, to be furnished with conveyance
TO that country. Among tho applications
offthis nature, is one from a company of 60
young menin Belchertown, Massachusetts,
who state themselves to be disciplined in
cavalry tacticks, land are DESTROYS of offering
their personal services in defence of the
rights of an oppressed people. One of the
apple itiois is made with the further offer
Of paying for their passages. However
praiseworthy may be the motives of these
applicants, such offers,we believe, were not
expected BY the committee, and no arrange
ments have been made to convey volunteers
for that service. Greece, it is believed,
does not want for mcn.-N. Y. paper.
