Church Action.

We notice everywhere, over the South, action
Of some kind, on the subject Of the religious in
struction Of our colored people
The Quarterly ReUietr, edited by II. B. B,s-
coxSL. L. D. and published by JoHS EARLY for the
Methodist E. Church, South, for July has an
article on the Religious Instruction of Negroes
written by our old friend the Rev. Mr.. WIBsHr-
MAN Of South Carolina. 1t details what Metho-
dists have done, and are doing, in that
State. The degradation of the neglected
plantation negro is faithfully depicted, the SUI
periority Of House and Town servants freely
admitted; and, also, the humanising influence
which instruction produces.
But in all the reports we have read, one fac,
stares us in the facs-ths bold and open licen-

Away down I'm New Orleans.

The planters in La, so far as we have met
them, are more liberal in their views Of slavery
than the planters Of South Carolina. This may
be attributed to a variety of causes; but chiefly
to the fact that the political pro Slavery action
has never disturbed this State. The Louisiana
planters, very generally, do not hesitate to ac-
knowledge slavery curse, and laugh at the idea
that their soil could not be profitably cultivated
by free labor.
An instance Of this is before us. The New
Orleans National asserts, that Jacob Barker de-
clared-"Slavery was the greatest curse ever
inflicted upon the South" This the Courier
denies. "Mr. Barker may have sad,' it adds,
shat slavery In a curse, and SO it is, aud the
Southern people would soonget rid Of 1t, if they
could do SO without creating evils thousand
times worse.'
Upon this, the National asks-"Has not the

The New Orleans papers speak enthusiast
eaIly Ofthis gallant Kentuekisn. He is weIcOm-

the fullesttestimony to his bravery, warm-heart-

generosity. We copy the following:
CART. CAssIUs M. CLAY.-Among the officers
Of the army, at present sojourning In our city,
we notice the gallant, the whole-souled and be-

have cOnversed with many officers, both from
Gen. Taylor and Gen. Scott's division of the
army, and they enthusiastically unite in testi-
flying to the valor, skill and whole hearted ness
Of their brother officer, the brave and gifted son
Of Kentucky. The person Of Capt. Clay is not
30 towering as we expected to find IL, but his
piercing dagger-looking eyes, and prominent
forehead, are Enthusiastically indicative of the
mind and the heart ofthe man. There are some
sentiments entertained by this gentleman in con-

prevent US from expressing our high estimate OF
a true-hesrted Americana gallant spirit
