Joseph E. Muse. Of Cambridge, Md.

some structures upon two communications
which have appeared in the Cultivator, in
regard 10 the character Of the cut.worm.
He endeavors 10 show, that its character
has been mistaken, BY both OF our CORES

Peters, and concludes his communication
with the following statements, which we
insert for the chronological information
which II contnins.-CELtiuator

Why's AND WHEREFoREs.-There
was a total abstinence society in the Sun
dav School, and most of the scholars and
leaders were members of it-pledged to
abstinence from all that mtoxicates. Mr.
Lane is a faithful and consistent temper
ance man in principle and practice, and
has done very much to promote the bless
ed cause among children and youth. The
society was formed precious to Mr.. Mines
coming among them.
On the 10Th of Feb. | was invited to
address the society and Sunday School on
Temperance. l did, and incuIcated the
doctrine of abstinence from all that can in
toxicate, and urged the importance of get
ting all children, from earliest life, pledg-
ed to drink no intoxicating liquors. In
reading a notice of the temperance meet:
ing and address in the morning, Mr..
Mines expressed his disapprobatlon Of to-
tai abstinence societies among children
He was opposed to juvenile pledges =
1t is hard for man to drink Dine when
children rebuke him.
Some two weeks after this, met a mum
Der of children and youth at the house OF
Mr.. Lane, and formed a juvenile Anti
Slavery Society, of which Mr. Lane was
chosen President-The children mostly
from the Sunday School, OF this meet
ing and its object Mr.. Lane gave notice ir
the Sunday School. The reasons giver

stinence and juvenile pledges to temper
ance.
g. He had given notices OF anti-slavery
meetings, thus introducing abolitionism
3. He invited stranger TO address the
school on total abstinence, contrary to the
wishes Of the pastor
The SESSION AND PREsByTERY.-
The session disappearing of his course
had several interviews with Mr.. Mines
to settle the difficulty. Finally, the sub
Ject, with other matters, was referred t
the Presbytery. 1t came before the Pres
bytery in the following form, Has pas

wishes Of the session p After fully de
batting the subject-it was decided a1lnos
unanimously that he had no such right

One thing is remarkable in this cas-
of clerical outrage. After Mr.. Mines hac
accused Mr.. Lane of teaching anti-chris
tam doctrine, Il. e. anti-slavery and tota
abstinence, and had disbanded the schoo
on this account, he said-"I now yer,
cordially invite the late superintendent AM
teachers to join me and aid in forming an(

HoRRoRs OF SLAvERY-So SOUTHERN
TEsTIMoNY.-Some Of the horrors of
slavery may be gathered from the follow
ing extract from the Maryville (Tennessee)
Intelligencer:
"To say nothing of the system of,
slavery, as such, with its hydra-headed
train of concomitant and inseparable evils,
let me give you one case, which though
among the worst, is not very dissimilar
to many others. A certain negro ran
away, to avoid whipping, perhaps for
trtte. His master pursued and overlook
Hun within the precincts Of his own farm
drought him back and extended him at
length on bench, binding him fast with
his face upward. He then took his bullet
moulds and broke off his four front teeth.
He next operated on his toe-nails, which
he successfully pulled out of root, from
the least to the greatest cutting them
| round the selvage with his knife. His
finger nails, in part shared the same fate.
He then cut his ears off smooth with his
head; and, to cap the climax, severely
whipped, and sailed him away. Under
the Jewish dispensation, a servant went
free for his tooth's sake, but not so in the
south. The subject of this cruel treat
ment is n01o a Stare within few miles Of
where | write, and though witnesses might
not be obtained here TO substantiate the
facts of the case-as it took place some
years since in a different state-yet the
manned trunk of the slave will show for
itself, while his own testimony may satisfy
those who believe negroes can tell the
truth"
elm general the most trifing offence,
and often no offence at ALL is met with the
seVereSt treatment. Some days since, the
gong of cOorhtde was heard-quite
common music in the south-in a little
town. A hearer counted 80 lashes, and
slipping to the door, asked what was the
offence. The mistress, in a rage replied:
THE nasty, dirty slut, had the irnpudence
to pull cucumber off the vine This
is tender mercy, and yet Mr.. Douglass,
Ia reverend gentleman of Fayetteville,
n. e., who had written an article in de-
fence of sIavery,] tells US that slaves live
comfortably, have no care, and often more
clear money than their masters What
a happy condition. what a paradise on
earth! Strange he don't exchange places
with some Of them"
