"Dred Scott" has already got into the pulpit and,
for the future will be great hobby, doubt. for
many of our clergymen, who love to mnglc in poll
tics to the detriment of religion. Yesterday, Sun

rtans instead of preaching from the Bible took up
Judge Taneys decision, commented on it, denounced
its reasoning, ridculed its conclusions, Tin his own
estimation, If nobody elses and entirely demolish-
ed the whole affair still great many people thought
the Reverend gentleman should have confined him
self to his legitimate calling.

O'clock A. NJ, until sunset, in the discharge of

over. Mr.. Erwin, of Burke, and Messrs. johnson,
Cantwel. A. NJ. Lewis, X. P. Battle, and w. W.

utivc Committee.
The Board resolved to proceed with the water
works, the gas-works, the erection of walls for
closures for the patients, &C., under the appropra-
ton made for the purposes specified by the last Leg
isature. Arrangements were also made for the
lum every Sabbath, by the pastors of the four prn
cipal denominations in this City-the Methodist the
Episcopaan. the Baptist, and the Presbyterian-the
ministers to succeed each other in this duty in reg
ular order.
There are at present about one hundred and ten

1t affords us pleasure to bear testimony to the f.
deity and zeal of all the officers of the inst tution
and especially Of DR.. Fisher, the Superintendent
He combines in high degree all the qualifications
for this responsible post; and among these We may
mention an evenness Of temper, and kindness and
benevolence of manner which never fail to produce
good effects upon the unfortunate class placed under
his CHARGE We gratifcd to state that his health
which some months ago was quite feeble, appears to
be nearly entirely restored.
The next meeting of the Board will be held on
the 9Th of June. Messrs. Taylor and Erwin are en-
titled to the thanks of the public for having travell
ed so long distance TO be present, and that with.
out compensation; and we trust at the next meeting
not only to see them here, but also Dr. Blow and
Dr. Mills. who, We are sure. would have attended
the late meeting If it had been at all convenient for
them to have done so.
