Our Newark Letter.

NEWARK, n. j., April 16, 1860.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The field for items in this
region being rather barren at present, it
seems almost supererogatory to attempt
anything in the line Of correspondence that
may interest your numerous readers; but,
not seeing any notice made Of the beauti-
full and tasteful improvement in the Plane
street Presbyterian Church, just completed,
from funds mostly obtained through the
interchangeable efforts Of number Of female
members of said church, including the en-.
terprising wife Of Rev. Mr.. Rogers, the
pastor, it seemed no more than just that the
ladies should be commended for their per-
severance and success.
Not being an artist" / can only state
that the interiorwalls Of the audienceroom
music-gallery, corridors and vestibule, have
been elegantly painted, q Ia fresco, which,
together with re-painting the pews and re-
arranging the pulpit gas-lights, has very
much improved the interior Of this popular
place Of worship; yet, alas, the embittered
thought will arise that not one nail was
driven, nor one daub Of paint made by one
Of our poor, despised race, and if stran-
ger from the interior of Africa's continent
should visit this edifce, and after pronoun-
cling it all good, very good, and then turn
around and ask, "Did you do this, my
brethren?" oh, what black man SO degra-
ded that would not feel the utter humilia-
ton to be conveyed in these words, mo,
we did not do it, but it was done by the
white man." srnryrn

NEWBURG, Apr1 Il, lSoU.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I arrived here last We'd
ne8day morning, and in season to witness
an interesting exhibition Of the colored
school in charge of Miss Elizabeth Fl.
Waters, in the A. M. E. Zion Church, on
the evening Of that day. At an early
hour all was in motion preparing for it.
At half-past o'clock, the hour appointed
to commence, | accompanied Rev. DIR.
Thompson to the church, which was al
ready filled, and half an hour after the
place became SO densely crowded that
there was scarcely vacant space to stand
Of ST. AT the hour appointed the curtain
was drawn, and between forty and fifty
children handsomely arranged on thestage
we're introduced to the audience by Miss
Waters.
The exhibition was then opened with
singing by the children, followed with an
address BY Miss Waters, expressing her
grateful thanks for the confidence mani
Tested by 50 large an audience, and prom
iSed that the qualification afforded should
be equal to that Of any previous exhibition,
and they would have an opportunity Of
seeing that the children were still progress
sing in that which was useful The exer-
ciseS continued until 10 o'clock, and it was
one Of the most interesting exhibitions that
| have beheld for some years. The chill
dren spoke sufficiently clear, loud and dis
tinct to have been heard in place larger
than the one then occupied. The pieces
spoken by very small boy named Ed.
ward Mitchell called forth loud applause.
The singing was performed admirably.
The occasion would have been more in
teresting but for the disorderly conduct Of
some loafers who kept up such combustion
and noise that those who were the farthest
from the stage gained but little satisfaction.
and in consequence Of which the exercises
were not completed. When the exercises
we're on the point of being closed, some Of
these disorderly characters commenced a
fight, and rendered it impossible to close
with any due form | am happy to say
that none Of our people were concerned in
the row, except those who endeavored t.
restore order. At the request Of many o.
the friends, it will be repeated the 18th O
May for the benefit Of the conference o.
the A. NJ. E. Zion Church, at which time
precaution will be taken to prevent distur
bance. L. S. 8.

Mr.. EDIroR:-I consequence of numer.

to send for copy of this weeks "Cleve-

first of an intended series of communica.

But that those who are SO disposed can

Letter from Rev. J. N. Gloucester


Mr.. EDroR;-In my note, of the last
week to the Rev. FL. FL. Garnet, you took
occasion to say that "at the especial request
of MIR. Gloucester, we publish it as he has
written it-verbatam ct literatim." Now. |
did say to you, "Please publish without
erasures," but better idea might have
been given by saying without substitu-
tion," as you have done in one of my pre-
vious communications
But you have been pleased to show up
to the light my false photography, or else
the misleading of your printer; but if the
fault is with me--for / am far from being
perfect have only to say that | have
fallen into the carelessness of many of my
craft, whose manuscripts scarce meet any
other eye but their ol0n, and who care
more for the value of thought committed
to paper than for the omission of a letter or
the misspelling of acord.
But suffer me, most learned sir, to say
that in the same paper in which you no
tice my errors, your printer has done you
an injustice, and if you will look over your
past editorials you will find it not the only
instance. He makes you say, in your
structures upon the Herald" Po'adenaoui-
I'm for Paaademsoniasns; and then, when
speaking of your merits as conductor of
The weekly Anglo-African. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1859-1861, 1860-04-28

your journal, you are made to give us the
beautiful and intelligent sentence, "many
gross blunders, sprinkled through some de-
gree of truth" So, my dear sir, you will,
by calling your attention more to these
matters, probably save yourself much in
justice. As for myself, however, I shall
not, from motives of pleasure, trouble your
columns again, for I do not like the spirit
that dictated such publication of my note.
Nevertheless, I shall ever go for correct o.
thography, strong editorials, colonization
denounced, and long continued existence
and prosperity to the "Anglo-African."
