We have received the following communica-
ton from a lady of this city, which we insert
with pleasure:
In CHANGING over the columns of that excellent
paper, the christian Observer" (which by the
way should be patronized by every American
Protestant" my attention was attracted to Its
notices of its religious publcations-one entitled
Discourse" delivered at Schenectady, New York,
on the occasion Of some anniversary the subject
of which was "The education demanded by the
people Of the United States" suggested to my
mind this thought: Do we, as American Protest
ants, and especially american ,cives and mothers
fully understand the Importance of this subject
that of educating our children for the duties which
will devolve upon themf As American citizens
and trainers Of the destnies Of this great republic
we feel and know, there is fearful crisis at hand
and i ever there was time that required the uni
ted efforts Of American wives and Mothers II is
now, to instil into the hearts and minds of their
offspring the principles of religious liberty. (0h,
how wide sphere Of usefulness is ours.) If we
are but faithful in this particular we will not have
time to attend "Women's Rights Conventions,n
or that other monstrosity Of the age go The
Baby Show" No, we have higher and holier
Offices to perform.
And think you, American Professionals, who con-
fde the education of your children to foreign or
homemade Jesuits or Nuns, are fulfilling your
covenant obligations by subjecting your sons and
daughters TO such infuencef / kaop and spsak
from experience, that there are many Inducements
held out by Catholic teachers to secure the patron
age of Protestants; they arc well acquainted with
the workings Of the human heart and are fully
persuaded Of the force Of early Impressions
We may know this by observing the conduct Of
Catholics in this respect. Where win you find the
truly Catholic parent willing to ntrust their child
TO Protestant instruction livery few instances in
deed, If any y on the contrary, 1t 10 urged upon
them by their priests" on every occasion from
the pulpit, In the confessional, during his visits,
whenever he can find opportunity, and tell you
these are numerous. Why are not the ministers
Of the Protestant faith as jealous on this pointf
BY their silence they countenance this dereliction
Of duty on the part Of their mcmbers "a very seri-
Gus and solemn one tool and subject the nurse
lings Of their flock to the insidio wiles of Pope
ry. wish that all those IN authority and the
" wise men Of the nation" as also our " City Fa-
theirs entertained the same respect for the Bible
and It's teachings, as Governor Pollock does, (if
We may judge from his remsrks) In his address to
the Public School OF Philadelphia; then, indeed,
would we have nothing TO fear from Pope Plus TX
and his minions. American Protestants, be faith
ful In all things.
The UNITED srATrs BRro PoRPorsr-No tidings
have been received Of this unfortunate vessel,
which was last seen in September last, on the voy-
age from Hong Kong TO the BONN Islands. The
prevailing opinion has been that she persisted in
typhoon but we are panied TO state that gloomy
suspicious are entertained In some quarters that
she has met with another fate. A gentleman In
this city, who had brother on board the Por-
poise, has received letter from an officer Of the
United States ship yincennes which vessel was
ia company with the Porpoise when the latter was
last seen, from which we make the following en-
tract. The letter is dated Hong Kong, March 2
my own Impressions are, though II ia possible,
and may say the most general conclusion that
she has persisted ina typhoon; TO me there is,
also, probability, and not very remote one, that
she may have been the victim Of mutny. NY
reasons for entertaining this idea are exclusively
my own, and fightful and dreadful as II Is, can
not shut it out from my belief. Should a future
opportunity occur win give those in full,
and to vhomsoever may require Them
What gives more importance TO the opinion Of
the writer, Is the fact that he went out as chief
executive officer of the Porpose, and was trans
