The Chris,iamlxatiou Of Negroes,

The four millions of negroes at the South are
the most civilized and christianized Of any four
millions of negroes ever known to exist upon
the face OF this earth and any rational person
must know, il he knows anything about the ne
gre, that il the supremacy of the white man o
yer him were abolished, he would soon relapse
into his original condition OF savagery. The
Educational Journal, gives the following as the
number Of negro slaves connected with the diff
erent churches South:
Connec ed wit the Methodist church South
are 100000; Methodist North, in Virginia and
Maryland $4,000; missionary and hard shell
Baptists; $4,000; old school Presbyterians,
(supposed) 5000; Cumberland Presby erians,
10000; Protestant Episcopalians 1000; Camp
bellles or Christian churches 10000; all the
other sects combined 10000; total colored mem
ship, South, 465, 900
at it a safe calculation" remarks the same
journal, Ito say thai three for every one connec-
ted with the churches attend divine service on
the Lords day. In the extreme Southern
States there are more, for the owners and over.
seers require them, in many instances, to turn
out to preaching. Then 475y00o multiplied by
three gives us ], $3.50 slaves in attendance
on Divine service in the South every Sabbath.
millions Of dollars have been spent, and hun.
dreds Of valuable lives, in the attempt to evan
gelize Africa and yet slavery--abhorred, cursed
reviled institution OF slavery-has brought us
five times the negroes into the church than all
the missionary operations of the world combi-
ned.
"These facts are food for reflection. Sci
righteous and above the ways of humble godli-
mess as political preachers generally are, one
would suppose such practical results would
stagger their self conceit and overweening con-
fidence, that they are right in denouncng sla-
very and God wrong in permitting it.

SDeaAimg his mind.

Old Deacon Hobhouse had habit oi frequent
ly thinking aloud. Especially If any matter
troubled him. he had to talk it over with himself
before his peace OF mind could be restored. One
day he was alone in his barn, pitching hay from
the seaffold to the NOW, when his neighbor
Stevens heard voice and listened. 1t was con-
demning in The strogest terms the extravaganza
of the ministers wife.
She sets worse example than Satan! ex.
claimed the deacon, by way Of climax
And having freed his mind, he was preparing
to come down from the loft, when Stevens glid.
ed out of the barr, and came in again just as
the deacon landed on the floor.
'How de do, deacon! cried Stevens. Il want
to borrow your half f-bushel an hour or two.'
%, >art,n, sar,in,' said deacon. The meas
ure was put into the neighbor's hands, and he
departed.
Ii was peaceful comnunty,--the minister's
wife was an excellent woman. Notwithstanding
her love OF finery, and Deacon Hobhouse was OIL
all men the least disposed to make trouble in
the society. Hence the sensation which was
produced when the report circulated that he
had used almost blasphemous language in speak
ing of that amable lady. The sweetest tenn.
pered W man would not like to hear OF grave
and influential deacon declare that she sets q

vile whose ear was IN due time reached by the
report, felt in high degree incensed and sent
her husband to deal with the honest eld man.
The latter was astonished when told Of the

the minister that he had been falsely reported
1t was therefore necessary to dig the root OF the
scandal Mrs. Brown, who told the minister's
vie, had heard Mrs Jones say that Mr.. A
dams said that Deacon Hobhouse said so, and
Mr. Adams being applied to, stated tia he had
the report from Stevens, who said that he had
heard deacon say so. Stevens was accordingly
brought up for examination, and conhcntad
with the deacon.

Eiha LnSf Word

Is the most dangerous Of internal machines. -
Husband and vile should no more strive to get
it than they would struggle for the possession
of lighted bomb-shell. Married people sho'd
study each others weak points as skaters look
after the weak parts Of the ice, in order to keep
off them. Ladies who marry for love should
remember, that tha Union Of angels W tn wo-
men has been forbidden since the flood. The
wife is the sun ofthe social system Unless
she attracts, there is nothing to keep heavy bo-
dies, like husbands generally are, from flying
off into space. The wife who would probably
discharge her duties must never have soul

the hint from this provision of nature.

These are days Of fearful doubt and dread
anticipaaons. From Baltimore We learn that
organizations exist to prevent the passage Of
Northern tsoops to Washington, for the pro-
lection Of Lincoln and the inaugural exer-
cises. They are also doubtless in direct
league with the plot to seize the Capitol.
The only hope Of saving Washington is for
Gen. Scott to concentrate in that city without
delay, enough Of the regular army to hold it
against all cOmers. Instead Of hearing that
1.-TWO companies Of troops arrived to-day, =
we should be able to read thst each day saw
the entrance Of regiments and brigades into
the Federal city.
From Charleston we hear that the demand
has been made upon the General Government
for the surrender of Fort Sumter, and that
unless the demand be complied with, the Fort
will be immediately attacked. This we do
not doubt; the military are doubtless i'm
patient st the delay, and eager to make a rush
for the grim walls which frown upon their
batteries. And if that attack is made stimuli
taneously from the batteries and forts which
almost surround Fort Sumter, It sOiH be taken.
No fortress on earth, with q puny garrison of
sixty or eighty men, could hold out long
under such circumstances. The attack may
have been made BY the time this reaches our
readers, and this mornings sun may break
through the sulphurOus smoke of the bat
tie.
At Pensacola, there is equally imminent
danger Of an attack upon Fort Pickens
Should that be made, there viii he bloody
battle, for the Brooklyn is there ready to join
in the defence Of the fort This attack, too
may have been already made.
So the time wears on and none can tell
what day may bring forth.
