CALLING FOR THE DEPOsITEs.-Mr. Dix, the Sec
rotary of the Treasury in view of the Strengthened
condition Of the federal finances suggests that call
be made on the States by Congress to return the
deposite monies of 1885, Nearly all the School
Fund of this State is based on these depostes-
North Carolina is bound in honor to return these
deposites whenever called for The loss and distress
which would be occasioned by such demand, and
by return fthese depostes be better imagined
than described And now, what is the cause of this?
The sudden violent, and uncalied-for secession of
certain Southern States has embarrassed and we'll
nigh destroyed the credit of the federal government
and not being able to borrow money save at loss
of twelve per cent, the Secretary of the Treasury
naturally looks to and falls back the deposites
with the States.

The old party strength there is pretty evenly bal

HE HISTORICAL EVIDENCES OF THE TRUTH THE
SCRIPTURE RECORDS STATED ANEW, WITH SPECIAL
REFERENCE TO THE DOUBTS AND DISCOVERIES OF MOD
ERN TIMES, in Eight Lectures, delioered in the o.
ford University pulpit in the year 1859, on the
hampton foundation, by GEORGE RAwLINsoN, NJ.
A, late FeLLOD and Tutor of Exeter College, Ed
itor of the History of Rerodotus, dc.
We think we shall render a service in bringing
to the notice of readers this learned and inter-
estng work. 1t is the copious titlepage informs
us, by the erudite Editor of Herodotus who by his
previous studies, eminently adapted to illustrate
this department of the Christian evidences, and to
concentrate the and beautiful lights which have
been shed upon the historical records of Scripture
by the recent explanations of his gifted brother Sir
Henry Rawlinson. There is to us something not
merely interesting but impressive in this revival Of
evidence-in this disentombng of ancient records
in this deciphering of old and hitherto unknown in
scriptions, confirming the independent and unrela-
ted testimonies of the inspired writers. As we
learn more Of the family life Of the ancient Romans
from the remains of ancient art and the memorials
of their domestic customs from the dsinterment of
the long-buried cities OF Hercuaneum and Pompeii,
than from the most vivid pictures of the ancient
classical writers, and strongly confrmatory of the
details which they have left us-so these Assyrian
remains give more vivid sense of reality than any
thing written in book could impart and at the
same time q monumental evidence, new and unex-
pected, in confirmation Of the inspired and sacred
record. II is probable that orthodox and intelli-
gent believers have conception of the variety, the
exactness and the conclusveness of the outward and
historical evidences which sustain the sacred temple
of the Christian Scriptures. We are never to for
get indeed, that the internal and experimental evil
Gences of the Scriptures are the most convincing,
the most satisfactory, and the most decisive in
gard to own personal character and prospects;
and yet the Bible will stand when tried any other
book. The evidences of the authenticity of the
books of Moses of the same kind precisely, and
quite as conclusive those which establish the his
torical authority Of the Commentaries Of Caesar or
the AnabaSis of Xenopllen This new and most at
tractive work may be had at Mr.. Turner's bookstore

The ATLANTIC MONTHLY FOR AUaUsT.-W'
have only had time to glance over the pages O
this number Of the Atlantic; but We feel war
ranted in saying that the reader after perusinl
1t will, II he have any genuine literary taste
wish that there was more OF II. He will desire
especially that there could have been redupll-
cation of such articles as "Trees in Assemble,
ges," and "Concsrning Veal" not such veal as ID
found in butchers shambles, but that literary,
logical and metaphysical veal which the soul ID
oftentimes compelled to feed upon for want Of
the more solid and nutritys beef.
"Agnes Of Sorrento" (Mrs. STowE's new sto-
ry) is continued, and grows in interest. Among
other articles in this number are "Miss Lucin
da,"a New England Tale; "Fibrilia," an essay
on the fbrils, cotton, Aax, etc "NAr. TuR-
Mars Insurrection;" "Reminiscences Of STErH'
IN A. DOUGLASS" q sketch Of personal traits
and incidents in the life Of the great Western
orator and statesman, tolerably free from par.
tisan prejudice; and "MailC Clad Steamers"
an essay recommending the employment Of iron.
plated steamers in the Government service.
"Where will the Rebellion Lsave us2" is q
question more easily put than answered. The
writer of this article thinks that the present
geographical limits Of the United States will
remain unchanged, and the Union reconstruct
ed upon some such principle, applied in the Sc
ceded States, as has been acted upon in Western
Virginia in the attempt to put in operation
new State Government.
An article on "THEoDoRE WINTHROP" who
fell at Great Bethel, concludes the series Of
prose contributions in this number Of the At
lantic. isu
There are several poems of no uncomfortable
