PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL.

InlLADEbt III n DNllOOL. ..
am inclined to believe. that one of the
best Schools in East Tennessee is now under
the control Of the Rev. ID. NJ Rowan, Princi.
pal, and Mrs. Ann Law, Assistant, at Phila.
delphia. The School is about so or 90 strong,
and better organized classes, with more at
tentive and studious habits | have never had
the pleasure of meeting with. 1t appears as
though every scholar. from the little Ind and
lass to the latin class, was identified in inter-
est with the teachers. And then, every eve-
ming, from P. M. until the reclining sun has
bid adieu to departing day and walks behind
the hills to give each pupil rest, Mrs. Laws
class in music gives new life and interest with
the animating tones Of the piano. In truth
may it be said that visit to this School Is a
feast. Great credit is due the teachers for
their efficiency and untiring zeal, and also to
the commissioners for their watchfnlness and
interest already manifested. And will only
cay for the citizens of Philadelphia, that their
industrious and moral habits can hardly be
surpassed, and should be a recommendation to
any person wishing TO send their children
there to School. The sight Of drunken
man or the sound Of an oath are rarely seen
or heard in the streets.

The statement that forgeries Of land war
rants have been discovered at Washington to
the extent of million OF acres, is said to be
an exaggeration of the true facts in the case.
Agang Of forgers in these operations were de.
tected at New Orleans some time ago, who
had their plans prepared for large issues,
perhaps even to the extent represented, but
The certificates and apparatus were seized by
theauthoritics, and consequently the whole
scheme failed. Individuals are the princi-

We think not"
RESOLVED, That in testimony of our regard
for our deceased brother. we wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days.

The CHURcH.-A New Yok paper writing
upon the Peace in Europe, and the results
that ought TO follow, thus speaks of one
branch OF the subject:
IT is easy to point out various ways in
which it'may be turned to account. None
Of the Institutions of any part of the world
nre perfect; and though Europeans might not
perhaps see as many faults m heir institu-
tons as Americans, they would still admit,
unless they belonged to the most hardened
school of conservatives, that they are suscepti-
BILE of Improvement Much may be done
towards liberalizing the church. II is most
remarkable feature of our present civilian
ton that the church alone, which is, or ought
to be, the highest product Of the cultivated
intellect, has made no progress since the Re.
formation. Since Luther split Chrisiendom,
and the one half reformed because that WINS
their banner, while the other half reformed
to save themselves, the church has remained
absolutely ut stand still. Science has
grown, learning has become common, pol.
iiics have been lumanized, every branch of
art and mental development has been nd
vnnced, but religion has stood precisely where
it WINS two hundred years ago. I his we say
not OF one church alone, but of the whole
Christian community. Hence it follows that
France, Prussia and the German cities con.
tain but few men of education and intellect
who are believers. The whole is rejected
because n part is obsolete. Men in this
country have been retained within the church
by forms Of Christianity, or at least of wor.
ship so loose that he must be n skeptic in
deed whose belief would be shocked by their
p-ejudices But in Europe they have not had
this resource. A little tact on the part Of
the clcrgy--botli Protestant and Catholic
would suggest the humanizing Of their reli.
gous systems, so MS TO extend the pale of
the church by widening its gate. Will this
DO done!
