We present to our readers this evening the plan of Sunday School, which it is proposed to establish in this city, and which to us to merit the pa tronage of a liberal public Even those who do not approve it, cannot fail be struck with the force and beauty ofthe composition.
 We live in time of high Religious excitement. Many who are themselves friends of the Christian Religion and ardently desire to see its benevolent and humanzing spirit diused over all the earth are alarmed at the sectarian violence and fanaticism which have of late been conspicuous, and at the disposition to encroach on religious liberty, and the rights of society, more plainly revealed within a short time past than at any previous period. None can be weak as to apprehend at present, any direct attempt at the establishment of Hier- archy: but who shall say what the next age may moi witness, if zealots are permitted to wield the whole force which the instruction of youth places in the hands of their instructorsi And what is the mighty

Gama Grass-The following letter on the sub- ect of gama grass will be read with intense interest by all our agricultural friends. We have carefully examined the head of the grass which accompanied the letter, and find it beyond all doubt to be the Trpsacu,n Monostochyon of botanists. Elliott de- scribes it clearly, and in Loudon's Encyclopedia of Plants the description is illustrated by drawing, which corresponds with the head we have received 50 exactly that, even were its botanical character not clearly defined we should have no room to doubt its identity. We regret that correspondent in the hurry of preparing his communication, has omit ted to indicate his place of residence-even the usu- al postmark is omitted on the envelope. We beg our correspondent to favor us with much of the seed us he can spare, and we will take good care to test its adaptation to climate and to give it as wide distribution as the quantity he may send us will allow of.-Amer.
