 MT. EDIToR.-I observe in your paper of 22d instant certain remarks of Elder Jacob Creath relative to the revision of the scrip lures, ending in challenge to public debate As preliminary to anything that may be further said or done on that point, l would propose to him the following questions:
 1at. Does MT. Creath profess to under stand the Hebrew and Greek languages, and will he agree to give translations of such por- tions of the original scriptures as may be spb- mitted to him, during public discussion?
 2d. Will he agree to defend, as correct translations, and as superior to the common one, the following specimens of the new yer sion, which he is laboring to promote, viz :: Acts 2:42, Revised version-.' And they per severeiugly continued in the Apostles teach ing, and in the contribution, and in the break ing of the loaf, and in the prayers"
 And also, of Acts 2ist:3lst, which reads, " And as they were seeking to kill him, word came up to the chilarch of the cohort that all Jerus alem was in confusion"
 A prompt and unevasive answer is required either in the affirmative or negative, without any circumlocution J. W. MOORE.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Feb 20, 1S60
 In the month of November, 1858, ectured in Fort Smith, Ark. on the revision of the English Bible; and AFTER left the State, as l Sas Informed and believe, one CERTAIN J. W. Moore, who did not hear my lectures, and whom never saw, commenced vApoRING in the public prints about the revision of the Bible, and kept it up some six or nine months, without any notice from me whatever; let him RAVE, and l see from the Des Arc Citi- zen, of February 8, that he has begun to GAS again about Dr. Gone, A. Campbell, Dr. Kane and his mother, baptize, immerse, sec tartan movements, Baptist Bible, the French revolutions, my views, I am opposed to the revision movement, beeause, ct cetera and stpposes that because such STUFF as this pas ses for good logic in Ruraia, that therefore it will be current in all other attitudes, and, as said J. W. Moore. or some political-religious scribbler for him, admits the great importance ot the revision movement, and that Sour com mon version is all that we need or desire J Andin order that the people of Arkansas, who are deeply interested in the revision question: may have the argument FOR and AGAINST the revision, to read at their leisure in one pamphlet, and to judge for themseives--in re- ply to J. W. Moore's assertion hat we have in Sour common version all that we need or desire,o submit the following propositions to him for discussion: First, that sometime in the month of March or April next, we meet in the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, and dis cuss, from day to day, in some commodous house. the following proposition: Is the com mon English version of the Bible, IN EVERY RESPECT, plain, faithful and CORRECT COPY of the Hebrew of the Old Testament and the Greek of the New Testament? He affirm. and deny. Second proposition: He may choose one moderator, and l another, and the parties choose third, president to preside over the debate. and to keep order. Third propositions: That the parties choose two good stenogra- phers, to take down the arguments on both sides correctly, and that they be printed in pamphlet form, twenty or thirty thousand, and distributed throughout Arkansas; and that, after defraying the expenses of the discus sion and the printing and stitching, that the proceeds of the sale be appropriated to the re- vision of the English Bible.
 1 hope, as I have been attacked the second time, that there will be no BACKING DOWN from an acceptance of this plain challenge. like to fight hand to hand, with short swords, SOFT WORDS and HARD ARGUMENTS.
