TEACHING SLAVES TO REAp.-A writer
in the Memphis Eagle and Enquirer of the
14th inst, is out against some clergsmen
in that neighhorhood who had proposed to
teach slaves to read. He says:
The idea now advanced is, that "slaves
have souls to be saved" and that the
best way to do that is to "teach them to
read the Bible" This teaching our slaves
''to read" is a new, and think a danger
Gus doctrine. AT least, it is one which
do not wish to have publicly discussed, as
it is limited at. 1t does not suit the cline
or the times.
DECLINE OF ChRIsTIANITY.--A writer
in the same paper says:
ain the earlier ana purer days of Chris
tianity, not one in one hundred thousand
could read; ye; religious instruction was
orally given to millions; and millions were
thus converted to the truths of the Cos

The Davenport Gasette and the Typo
graphical Onion Of that city, have got at
loggerheads. The Union has published the
Gazette Office - Rat" Institution and some
Of its workmen a. receiving wages made.
quate to their proper conpensation, and,
therefore. detrimental to the interests Of
the craft The Gazette retorts BY saying
the workmen alluded to are actually recei-
wing more wages per week than the Union
demands for its members, and that the prin.
tiers composing the Union are many Of them
not entitled to journeymen's wages in con
sequence OF their incompetency. We know
nothing OF the merits of the controversy be.
tween them, but our experience ofPrinters'
Union, has been rather unfavorsble to their
side of the case. They are frequently
composed Of Printers who cannot maintain
a first class situation In any respectable
printing office, and are consequently always
irving BY the means Of ONIONS" to crowd
good printers out of situations 20 that they
NAV stand q chance. Sometimes. they
have even gone 90 far a. to dictate to pub
fishers not only wha. prices they shall be
paid, but what hands shall be employed
how many boys to the number of journey
men 8uAti DC hii0Weu III u printing ONCE,
&c. The latter 10 quite wrong. The pub
Usher must be allowed to employ such hands
as please him at fair wages, and the nam
Der Of boys and journeymep in an Office
must always be regulated by the interests
Of the pubhshef--in fact the business of
publishing cannot be otherwise carried on.
We do not wish to be understood as re-
tiecting upon the Davenport Printers Uni
on ie these remarks, but simply to give our
testimony in general. That Union may be
right for aught we know but it ought to
take heed to the following remark Of the
Gazetts, which 10 surely true:
practical printers are not the natural
apostles of publishers either in feelings or
interests, and nothing 90 widely draws the
line OF difference between them a. badly
conducted Typographical Unions, which as
sumo in their very formation that publishers
and printers are contsnding parties. They
are dependent on each other, and il 10 or
should be their mutual object to promote
each others interests."-R0ck Island Adr

Hssiag learned that there are certain 10.
iarioss reports in circulation in regard to
the eoarse pursued by DIRE. Fountain and
Adler, in the case Of John Ge,,is, who was
fatally injured on the II. 4 NJ. Railrosd
Friday night, January asd, which reports
are to the effect that Drs. F. and A., when
they learned that said Gettis had no money
and that the Railroad Company were not
responsible in the case, left him to be taken
in charge by the Township Trustees; We
have Investigated the matter thoroughly and
are perfectly satisfied that these reports are
without foundation and absolutel false.
