MR. EDiToR: wish to say, through the medium Of your sheet, that Sermon will be delivered oa the mode ol B.FTIsM, at the Methodist Church, in this city, on Sunday, the lath inst, commencing ut l I o'clock, A, M
 The design of tbe Sermon is, to satisfy the minds of the candid, in this community, ol the violence which has been done to Scrip iure and reason, in tlse animadversions ol Rev. Mf. Clarke on this topic. And. as the members of the different Churches were suf- ,6cien,ly disencambcred of the fastenings ol an unwholesome prejudice 10 attend his lec- ture, is 1t unreasonable to suppose that some of his admirers will patiently listen to our reply io his incorrect siaicmentss This ques- i:on will be answered in due time.

AsormEs RoBRsaY or THE MA,I.--Agsir

ASoTHEs RoBBERY OF THE MAiL.-Agsin the United States mail has been stolen on the Ohio wiihou. the slightest clue having ss vet been discovered as 10 the persons by whom the robbery was committed. The circnm- siances detailed are of the s,rangest chagae- ter It seems that immediately before the J. S Mail Steamer Benjamin Franklin from Louisville reached the wharf al Cincinuati, Il was discovered that the mali tags had been removed from their usual place. After some search they were found ia one of the state sooms cut epan and robbed. Ilappeared al- most impossible that they could have heea dragged across the deck and crowded into ihe narrow door of the state e-reom, without attracting tue atseaas4sa pf many persons who must have been awake during the night All the passengers, officers and crew were scar ched, but there was nothing 10 criininaie any of them. The roll of passengers having been called, three men failed to answer to their names, one of whom occupied the room in which the bags had beea discovered. Is was not known how they lefi the boat, or who they were. The robbery must have been cummiiied sbsse Rising Sun, as the bags were safe when the boat passed that place.

Attention is directed, by our neiei:bor ol the Gazet.r. to letter tn his papsr last geek, which he designaies as s.the very latest from : our volunteeis,n portion of which was writisu too mucl, in the spirit of '-aid and comfort to the enemy" extended SO kindly by certain whigs, a, this period, to bc pala. table to us. l. captains reproach to the Arkansas regiment, which was published, we have no doubt, without having been not ced by the Editor. ard we feel sure las not his sanction. The following is the objectionable paragraph:
 Borland, who could be good officer, takes no interest in any thing since he quar- relied with Yell. Yell, himself, is the langh- ing stock of men--ior, as vel, he has never undertaken to give any onier without blum der. The horses are worn down, the men are undiscipiined, and every body, officers mad Essa. Is tired out, worn down and dis gnsted. have no doubt that the moment Gen. Taylor sees us he will discharge us.
 And all this time this Regiment raised io get Fsii iaio fhe .Senatc. costs just as much as four infantry Regiments, one of 'cAieA srosld be rcorth fen ef if.n
 The meaning of which seems to be, that the Arkansas Regiment is totally inefficient both men and horses, for which reason Gen. Taylor will discharge it.
 Now, we can very well conceive that men, accustomed to all the comforts and luxuries
 
 of life. nigh, be willing 10 escape the further prisasions and toil required from soldier, bat that the volunteers. from this State, are either Sworn out" or disgusted,' or will be sdischarged'' for want of ability to do ser vice in the field, we are no, yet prepared to admit On the contrary, from all the siate- ments which have reached us, many from those having at least equal opportunities of information win the correspondent of the Gazette, ii would appear that our men have endured the climate and the iatigues of lhe campaign quite as well as any others, while their horses have stood the march better than the bloodsiock Of kenlacky. The declaration of the writer, that one regimen. of infantry would be worth ten of ii, is only equaIIed in sbsurdity by the statement that tihe Arkansas regiment was raised to promote the political views of Gov. Yell.

 Mesars. I.ilIaFsl, Moshy & Co, of this city, have received letter from Mobile, dated the 29sh inst, from which we hays besh politely permitted io make the following extract olI the same melancholy subject
 sThe steamer Tnskaloosa, Capt Kirk, bnrsled two of her boilers last evening about
 10 o'clock, and afterwards burned to the wa ter's edge. The explosion was so loud that i, was distinctly heard in Mobile, although the boat had been absent from the city near ly an hour. Capt Kirk was very badly seal- ded, as was also Capt Oliver, lnie eomman- der of the Warrior---the 2d Clerk, lst Mate, and 2d Engineer. were instantly killed, and nearly all the deck hands and Eireuen. There are 30 passengers supposed to have been killed oT wonatlesl-snany of the passengers and crew are badly maimed and scalded, and cannot possibly survive. The scene was most dreadful to behold.-the lady passen- gers were all saved, though the night was a most stormy one. The total loss of lives has no, been asceriained, but cannot be much less than 5. Strange as il may appear, the explosion was caused by the smoke-pipes having been struck by lighiaias--she fluid passing down tlse pipes, striking the boilers and causing the must horrible explosion ever witnessed, since the Ben Franklin blew up in 1886. There was quantity of powder in the hold of the boat. which exploded si- muIaneodsly wi,h the boilers, proving most conclusively that the boilers were struck by lightning.
