An Atheists Truthfulness.

/" But, says the Washington Telegraph, we
don't believe him, when he says he disbelieves
the existence Of a-Deity. Well then, you car
have no objection to his oath on that ground
certainly. As the test with you is not truth
yeracity or morality, but simply the belief in q
God; and as. you insist that he does believe, he
must be competent even on your own ground =

man may deceive us by falsehood in say
ing that he does believe in God when be does
not That is his fault. But if he says he does
not he either does not or lies and blasphemes,
and it is safe to discredit him in either case.
The arguments for refusing the testimony
Of men who deny the existence of God are
among the most silly and weak in christen-
DOM "-Afnyor.
We do not in legal trials credit the simple
assertion of Christian. He must solemnly
,all God to witness his sincerity. An atheist
believes in no God, and can make no such APP
peal. Are his natural moral sentiments so
much more elevated than those of Chris tan
hat his simple declaration should be received?
We would place them on q just equality, and
believe neither in such cases unless under the
,olemnity of an oath or affirmation before God,
which the atheist cannot make

JENNY LIMBS CoNcERT.-The popularity of
this lady appears to be none the less, now that
she is without hoaxing managers and an ex-
pensiye retinue of singers and others. The
Harrisburg heystone says of her:
"Mlle. Jenny Lind gave concert in Harris
burg last evening at the Methodist Church,
which is capable of holding larger audience
than any building in town. 1t was filed in
every part, though the notice of her entertain
ment was short; and Notwithstanding the high
expectation raised by her world wide fame
none present were disappointed. The prices of
tickets were two, three, and four dollars, nc
cording to the situation of seats The gross
receipts, we understand, amounted to $50, 000"

MESSAGE OF THE GovERNoR OF MIssouRI-The
annual message of Governor King argues in favor
OF acknowledgements law, earnestly recon :
mends a State geological survey, the establishment
of school of mining, approves of the compromise
measures passed by Congress, and deprecates agi-
tation.
The Governor has prepared block of marble
from the Cape Girardeau quarry, which he pro-
poses to send to Washington, for the Washington
monument.
The lunatic asylum will be ready for the re-
ception of inmates next sumner; an additional ap
preparation of S l0,0 900 will be necessary He has
received the States share of the distribution fund
from the United States, 5000; and ii has been
put to the credit Of the lunatic asylum.
The Missouri and Iowa boundary line question
has been settled, except controversy about fees of
lawyers.
Improvements and extensions proposed in the
pententiary buildings; it now contains one hun
dred and ninety eight convicts.
The subject OF draining the swamp lands Of the
southeastern part of the State s pressed upon the
attention of the Legislature.
The State University is in prosperous cond-
ton. A very considerable portion of the message
is devoted to the subject of common schools, and
various notifications Of the present laws sug-
gested.
He speaks openly and decidedly in favor of inter
nal Improvements, and particularly of the Pacific
railroad and the Hannibal and ST. Joseph railroad.
He proposes that the State shall lend its credit to
these companies, as the work progresses; and, if
charters should be asked for other roads he thinks
they ought to be granted.

The increase was eleven, or twenty per cent. on
