The Tendency or the Dramn--sIrs. xen,bIe
and Mr.. Barry.
The statement IN the papers. that the Rev Mr..
Bellows had accepted an invitation to address
the American Dramatic Fund Association at its
approaching anniversary diouer. has given
new phase to the discussion as to the tendency OF
the drama, which has recently occupied 20 much
of public attention. Mrs Fanny Kemble has
written letter to the reverend gentleman, re
questipg him not to lend his countenance to any
charity in aid of such wicked set Of people as
the actors aud actresses. Mrs. Kemble was ooce
upon the stage, and comes from q family which
achieved its fortune and fame entirely through
the sock ard buskin. Mrs Kembae has, how
ever, taken up the Ito herr more profitable
business Of reading from the works of ShakSpere,
and she ia shocked ct her former Immoral ESQ
Citations. Mr. Tbomss Barry, the manager Of the
Boston theatr-s gentleman Of the striotest
honor, morality and integrity-comes to the
rescue of bis profession like presr chevalier as
he is, and gives Mrs Kemble some severe raps in
several tender places. !.
Mr.. Barry's letter is simply criticism upon
the inconsistency of Mrs. Kemble's conduct 10
kicking over the ladder by which herself aud
relatives climbed to eminence. He does not de-
lend tie vocation of which he il 30 worthy .
member. He simply states that the "prejudces
against the stage are dying away, and that even
clergy men raise their voices In its defence"
Now, we have every reason to believe that Mr..
Bary's theatre in Boston is 80 conducted as to
fulfil the best tendencies Of the stAge-to refine,
elevate and amuse the people but the position
taken by Mr.. Bellows is that the stage and
dramatic literature have much to do with form
ing the manners and morals of the people. either
for good or for evil and that 1t is the duty Of
the clergy and the press to use their utmost en-
deavors to direct the influence Of public amuse
ments in the right direction.
The best defence that the drama can have
must come from the efforts Of the artists, the
managers, ard the play writer's themselves. Mr..
of the most popular plays of the season have
been grossly immoral, and that an actress who
brought several Of these productions forward at
Wallsck's theatre, and made the stage the arena
for the most improper exhibitions, has not been
satisfied TO take her money quietly, but las fur
ther injured her vocation by al attempted de-
fence Of q shameless Performance against ittls
severe but sound criticism.
The press, the pulpit, and the actors Themselves,
have been equally remiss in their duty With re-
gard to the stage. We have seen this actress
overwhelmed with the most fulsome puss in
leading journals, pretending to much piety,
morality and refinement, and we shall find that
her temporary success will bring down upon Us
shOsl Of imitato.s-pupils of school which
will do fer more to ipjwe the stage With right
minded men and wssnen than all the letters which
Mrs Kemble could write or the Rev. Mr.. Bellows
could preach from now till doomsday.

" The WORLD IN MISIATURE."-W We would eau
ton the Southern people against being deceived into
purchasing worthless and inaccurate books printed
at the North but registered at the South purportng
TO be Southern publications.
ook-pedlar has recently been selling a geo.
graphical work in this place. under the above title,
which on its ttle-page purports to have been pub
ished i'll New Orleans and entered in the district OF
Louisiana but close examination proves that this
tite-page is pasted over another which gives the
credit of its origin the other side of Mason and Dix
oR's line. Independent of this deception sat
sted from hasty examination of it that the book is
faulty in many respects-its statistics gathered from
old books returns ten years back-and that
it sold for four times its value.
We express this caution because we think it not
unlikely that other impostions will be practced, IL
order to meet the wishes of those patriotic citizens
who desire to FOLLOW the Recommendation OF the last
Southern Convention by purchasing Southern books
even above their value.
We learn that the pedlar above referred to has
gone hence towards Godsboro'.
