Points Of Faith.

The Christian Iptedigeacer remarks
The different views concerning the future
state, held BY the Christian shurch, may
be thus classified, arranging them exclu-
sively under eight divisions:
|. The Romal Catholic Chuch makes
three conditions hereafter, namely:
/. Everlasting JOY.
2. Everlasting suffering.
/ 3. Temporary sorrow in purgatory.
Ii. The Orthodox Protestant Church
makes two conditions hereafter, namely:
-. Infinite and eternal JOY.
2. Infinite and eternal suffering.
III. New School Universalists and
Restorationists make two conditions here
after, namely:
/. Eternal joy.
2. Temporary and finite suffering.
Nv. Unitarians make an infinite num-
Der Of conditions hereafter, according 10
the various characters and moral status Ct
man.
". The Swedenhorgiaps make an in
definite but unlimited number Of heavens
AMI hels, suited TO the varieties Of charac-
ter, but having a supernatural origin.
vi. The Spiritlialists make the other
world like this world, with no essential DIFF
ference, making il a continuation Of the
natural life.
VII. The Annihilatiorists believe the
finally impenitent viii wholly perish and
come to nothing.
The Madison Argls adds: We think
the Late2ligencer mislepresents the ortho-
dox creed. 1t is not infinite joy and inf
mite suffering, for it is impossible in the
nature Of things for finite mind to expe-
rience infinite Joy or infinite misery. The
two conditions Of orthodoxy should be sta
ted thus: Perfect and eternal misery;
Perfect and eternal joy; each relative to
the capacity Of the finite soul for enjoying
or suffering.

Letter from the Second Wisconsin Cavalry.
KehosTia. WIS. .ITPFr5- 1852.


FRIEND CovER:-As you have no cor
respondent in this regiment, / thought a
few items might be interesting to many Of
your readers.
We are camped here in Kenosha, very
comfortably situated, but the boys are be-
coming impatient at this long delay
There are now in camp 1910 as good men
here as could be found, impatient to be of
and do something for our bleeding coun-
try. We, have now been in camp Ave
months, aud. ought to have been dow3-.ln
Dixie long ere tbs.
We have the Sibley tent, and mess to-
gether sixteen in tent, each squad doing
their own cooking, and we are furnished
with plenty Of good wholesome food.
We now drill by Cooks tactics, as See
rotary Cameron recommends them and
says they shall be used. They are entire
y different from Stevens, so that we are
set back somewhat in the drill. We have
our swords, but no reyolyers yet, and only
two hundred horses; the reginenf. is all
uniformed. The officers Of the regiment
are as follows: Colonel, Il. Daniels; Lieut..
Col, J. M. Lewis; First Major, 0. II. La
grange; Second Major, Professor Pome-
roy; Third Major, w. H. Torrey; Adju-
tant, w. II. Burbank; Regimental Quar-
ternaster, j. G. Mann.
There is talk of disbanding elcayalry
regimenta, as there is more than is needed.
But if the First Wisconsin Cavalry Regi-
inent is disbanded, we viii form a regiment
Of infantry and still do something for
freedom. The general health Of the camp
is now pretty good. There are but three
of us here from Old Grant.
Yours for the War,
A. BARNETT.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 10.
FRIEND CoyER:-As promised, now
send yeu some facts in reference to our,
regiment and company.
Our regiment was lettered last week.
In lettering the Colonel departed from the
tactics by which a. is first company,
"B" tenth, az fifth, DC. He also de-
parted from the array regulations in the
mode Of assigning place to companies
The rule is, the oldest commission is com
pany a." next oldest "B,n &c. Somc-
times, however, companies are assigned
place according to merit and appearance.
Ours by neither rule. Our letters begin
"a" on the right, and running down to the
left, "B,n co. I'D" 70 "In-J being of
course omitted. The numbers Of compa-
nies are same as in the tactics, viz: l, @ A,
o, 8, s, 5, 10, Z, 2. We are company
-" hence, as you see BY arrangement,
Not.

Cotton Culture in Illinois.

An agent appointed by the Illinois Cen
trail Rail Road to travel and investigate
the subject, reports that there are in Hi
nois from eight to ten millions Of acres Of
land adapted to the culture Of cotton.
These lands will also produce flax, cas-
tor beans, sorghum and other semi tropical
products.
The Chicago Tribune cotains strong
array Of facts which prove that cotton can
be raised in. Southern Illinois with as
much : - = I'D as proftably as in the
cotton regions of the Southern States
The names aud addresses are given of a
large number Of persons who have been
raising ii in I'll, $50. for many years,
and who have, under their careless mode
of cultiyating, succeeded in raising from
800 to 500 pounds per acre. At ten
cents per pound this gives from $50 to $50
to the acre, and, reckoning eight acres to
the field hand, which is the calculation
made Of slave production in an official re-
port to Congress in 1852, we have then
$24o to $500 as the yeats product Of one
hand and eight acres.
There is an immense field for profitable
enterprise for the production Of cotton
next season in Illinois.

viii Negroes Work /?

In the second volume Of Mr. Olmstead's
"Cotton Kingdom page $50, we find a
quotation from the Southern Cultivator,
a standard work in all the economies Of
slave labor agriculture. 1t is introduced by
Mr.. Olmstead for another purpose; but
we here reproduce it, 1.-THE italicising being
our own for the purpose Of showing for
what purposes negroes will sometimes
work very hard:
Most persons allow thier negroes to cult
vate a small crop Of their own. For a
number of reasons the practice is bad
one. It IS merit to impossible to keep them
from working the crop on the Sabbath.
They labor at night when they should Be
at rest. There is no saving more than to
give them the same amount for, like all
other animals, the negro is only capable OF
doing certain amount of work without
injury. To this piont he may be worked
at his regular task, and any labor beyond,
this is an injury to both master and slave.
Ifthis Southern account is to be relied on
negroes, after doing task labor for their
owners, will week cat night and on the
Sabbath on their own little patches Of land,
not for subsistence, already provided for
them, but for the inlnlgences and extras
which they may obtain by the sale Of WHIT
they can raise. This does not tally with
the ideathat nothing viii drive them to
labor but the lash or starvation.
