Sunday School Meeting.

meeting OF a very interesting character was
held on Tuesday evening, at the Presbyterian
Church, on Lafayette Square, to take measures for
establishing Depository of Sabbath School books
in this city, desderatum which has long been felt
by those who interested in these schools. The
| meeting was one in which various religious de.
| nominations united with a truly Catholic spirit.
1t was opened with prayer by the Rev Mr.. Good
| rich, OF ST. Paul's Church, after which the Rev
| Mr.. Campfeld, Agent Of the American Sunday
School Union, made an extended address, He
| spoke OF the want of more general education as
| shown by statistics from the late census, giving
the numbers in several States, of those who could
neither read nor write, and dwelling on the i'm
portance OF establishing Sabbath Schools, if for
no other reason, to prevent another generation from
growing up in ignorance. He spoke at much
length of their religious influence, and of the
amount of valuable religious knowledge conveyed
by Sunday School Libraries, and referred to the
high character of the books which are written for
the young at the present day, as contrasted with
similar class of books twenty five or fifty years
ago. The master minds of the age are now EN-.
ployed in wr ting ehildren's books. One eminent
theoogian of the Presbyterian Church, now living,
has written thirty volumes of this character, which
have been published by the American Sunday
School Union.
We Skipwith and Rev. w. Prime, now supply
ing Dr. SCOTS place in the First Presbyterian
ohareh' addressed the meeting, illustrating in
their remarks the emlnenty beneficial influence of
Sabbath Schools, and the necessity of having
libraries connected with them in order TO make
| them interesting and permanent DR., Neville. of
| Chrlst Church, made an eloquent and forcible an
peal to the friends OF Christian education IA en-
brace this occasion for providing their children and
the children OF this community, and of the country
| of which New Orleans is the centre, with the
| facilities for obtaining Christian literature He
| referred to the temptations which prevail in this
city, and which are so powerful to lead neglected
| children astray, and, audlng to the notion that
children should be left to grow up without any
religious bias said that if they received no bias to
that which is good, they would be sure to receive
bias to that which is evil, when surrounded by SO
many powerful temptations, and repeated with
great emphasis, and accompanied with many forci-
Bile remarks, the words of the wise man, "a child
left to himself, bringeth his mother to shame"
The importance of establishing Depository
which shall be kept we'll supplied with books OF
The character designated, was fully shown and
ao'y advocated, and we are greatly mistaken in
the character of our citizens if they do not noby

The Charleston Courier says: GA villainous
attempt was made about day light on the morning
of the 18th inst, on the Central Railroad, about
four miles from Richmond, to throw the cars off
the track, by placing sill of timber across it,
which was fastened down by stakes upon high
embankment. Fortunately the train was going
very slow, as ii came upon the obstruction and
the engine alone was thrown from the track. IL
was supposed that the object of the villain was to
obtain plumber from the wreck OF the freight"
