which he brings me before the public by name,
he says "that the gas controversy was frequently
and violently discussed at the Board Of the Di-
rectors Of the North Western Bank" Whether
this is true 0r not, do not know; hut l will
say, that do not believe that even it is true;
but lift is, let the editor (Bingham) show how
it or something el~e, induced Knote to make
his gas report.
In this same editorial Of the 18th, this same
Mr.. Bingham saws, that in this community of
Wheeling, exhibitions of manly independence
are exceedingly rare;" having previously init
mated that men like Mr.. Knote ''are not expec
ted, in this community. TO have nerve enough

Again ask if my structures upon Mr. Bling.
hams conduct were not just aud fully sustained?
The following is copy, believe, of the note
to the Editors of the lntelligencer, declining to
give my name:
al am not disposed, confess, to have any con-
trover>y with the Editor of the Times

were gross, uncalled for and unwnrrantable, and
shall continue to think so, till hc shows how
Mr.. KS connection with the bank Obliged, or
induced Him to make the report he did TO the

Ma. LAup "suows UP" MS STATEMENT ABOUT
THE n. w, BANK.

lliE ~. W. llANhs
Editors Lntelligenrer-I find the following
statement in the Times of yesterday:
"NTr. Knote is director Of the Northwestern
Bank. At that Board, We learn, this whole gas
controversy was frequently and violently discus
Sed IL was Mt that Board, we learned, that the
legal discovery was first made, that all who
signed the pledge not To take gas until the price
was reduced was [wercl liable to prosecution
for the peniteutaryI Aud it was because we
supposed Mr. Knote had been restrained by the
violent manner in which this gas question had
been discussed in his presence &c, &c.
The very serious imputation here conveyed
upon the directory of the Northwestern Bank,
would seem to require some notice at my hands,
as the community, or portion of it ut least
would perhaps suppose there some fOuuda-
ton for The charge, If it passed without contra
diction. beg leave, therefore, to say that
with the single exception that MIR. Knote is, as
stated, director of the Bank, there is not a
word Of truth in the paragraph above copied.
have attended / believe, all the meetings of
the Board since the gas controversy arose. That
question has never been discussed at the Board
at ALL either violently or otherwise, nor has the
Bank meddlcd with 1t or attempted to influence
It's decision one way or the other. And in jus
tce to our directory, permit me to add that $"
long as | have been connected with the Bank, 1t
has been the policy and practice to discnSs at
the Board such questions only as directly in.
volved the interests Of the Bank; and particu
lary to avoid all questions Of either local or gen
eral politics, as very improper matters to intiu-
vnce the action Of board of directors.
know that variety of opinions are enter
tanned by members of our Board in reference To
"the gas controversy, hut while such subjects
nre not allowed To be discussed at the Board,
both the directors and officers 40 claim for them
selves the right to entertain their opinions
un all subjects of public interest, and TO express
such opinions freely on all proper occasions.

KNOWLEDGE" And again, that "de things that
are rsysHie1lbSioHg unto Us, ASD TO OUR CHILDREN
FOREVER" And yet again, by the inspired Ian
guage Of the Dscalogue that these words which
/ command thee this day, shall be in thy heart.
And thou shalt teaeh them diligently unto thy
children. and shalt talk Of them when thou sit
test in thine house, and when thou walkeSt by
the way, when thou liest down, and when thou
risest up" There is, indeed, vast amount of
secular, as well as religious knowledge, taught
in the Bible, and very wTetched must be the
school, and most inefficient the system OiinStIuc-
ton, which does not often require n reference to
the letter Of the one and only inspired book.
This free Government of OURS, 1t must be re-
membered, was started under n sentiment of
profound reverence for the Bible, and the Faith
ers of the Republic made it the anchor OF the
schools which they established. The under
stood teachings of the Bible and the learning
acquired in the School, were regarded as belong
ing 10 one system. Both are the natural re-
suits of civilization and christianity, and Ar.
Webster Justly laid it down as general prin-
Ciplc, that christianity is part of the law Of the
land" ard if Christianity, surely the Bible,
which is the fountain head Of Christianity.
Judge Story, one Of the wiSest OF our law
givers, made an application of this principle
when he declared, and as an authority for stu
dents of the Constitution, that this now Danish
ed hook from the schools, the restoration of
which we seek, was 1.-The common inheritance
Of christeuiom and the world;" and he makes it
the espe .ial duty Of Government ITO foster and
encourage il among all its citizens and subjects
as point wholly distinct from that of the right
of private Judgment in matters of religion, and
Of the freedom of public worship according to
the dictates Of ones conscience"

WASHINGTON SRws ABorT DOrGLAs L Co.
a very readable letter from Washington appears
in our paper this morning. twill he especially
reIished by intelligent political readers who
have some idea how outdoor, indoor and side
door political operations are carried on in this
wretched world of ours. The gist of the letter,
1t will be perceived, Is that there is now going
on a sort Of underground ncgntistion for the re-
turn Of Douglas & Co., to the administration
camp.
The letter is interesting, not because the
statements are entirely reliable but because they
servo to show how nervOusly suspicious the par
ies and partiSans have got at this stage OF
the game, of each other. For our part, sc haYe
very little confidence in Mr.. Senator Douglas
never had amy of any account. He's not the
man to advocate principles for the sake of prin.
ciple. His private life has been always rcfu
tation Of any such ideas as that, aside from his
political course. ejust surely believe that
he turned tnle on the administration this last
through on the Lecompton question, to advance
his own Senatorial interests in Illinois, and
through them his general prospects before the
country. as We believe that in 1854, as Chair
man of the Committee on Territories, he report
ed in favor of the abrOgahOn oil the AlSSoufi
Compromise for political effect, before the (thcn)
coming Cincinnati Convention of June, 1856.
1t may or it may not be true that, Douglas
has gone on a trip with ''healing on his wings
gone to arrange capitulntion. 1t may be that
it was part ofthc arrangement for Bill Montgom-
cry to come home here, and write that cringing
letter which we noticed yesterday, aud it may
also he that it was part of the treaty that poor
Bill Lawrence should sacrifice himself We
say, all these things may he-we are ready to
believe (and we might add disbeieve,) anything
almost we hear about these men. The good.
honest, Anti-Lecompton men Of the country,
who from their hearts, and who from afore
time have been opposed to ail schemes for cx-
tending slavery INFO the Territories should not
count on these men. beware Of Greks bear
ing gifts was piece of experience dearly paid
for some hundreds Of years ago. Let usnOt

WHAT Texas Is CAPABLE OF PRODUCING.
We extract the following from a private
note of a correspondent in Texas in regard to
what that State is capable of producing:
Texas presents such a wide and prolific
field that the Imagination fairly revcls in the
prospect. There is indeed no telling what an
empire there is here when its resources are
developed. When we shall export 100000
bales cotton, 25,0QO,OOO bushels wheat, 400,.
900 hhds sugar aud other produce in proper
ton, there will still be vast scope of rich
country to be occupied. But it will hardly
do to put these things in print, because peo-
pie cam OF believe them. Yet they are all
within the compass of figures at very moder-
ate calculations. -.4 d ....4s -ya r4qa ef

ScARLETINA AND MEAsLEs.-Mr. Witt,
member Of the Royal College of Surgeons,
has published pamphlet in which he states
that carbonate of ammonia is specific for the
cure of scarlet fever and measles. lie cites
DR.. Pearl, of Liverpool, and other practi-
TONERS, who have never lost case out of
hundreds since adopting this remedy. Two
druehms of the bcarbonate of ammonia are
dissolved in five ounces of water, and two
tablespoons of the solution given every two,
three or four hours, according TO the urgency
of the symptoms. No acid drink must be
taken, but only water, or toast and water.--
The system is to moved by dose of calome
If necessary! The room must be well venti-
lated, but the patient protected from the
slightest cold or draft. Gargles should also
be employed for clearing the throat. The
ammonia, it is said, counteracts the poison
which causes scarletina, and also acts on the
Systsm by diminishing the frequency and at
the same time increasing the strength of the
pulse. As SO many Children die from these
diseases in this country this remedy ought to
receive fair trial from the profession.
