FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

We subjOin extracts from Giles of English and French
papers received at this Office:
SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS CONTRAST.
The following is the concluding portion Of an edito-
rial in the London Herald:
In America the cause Of Abolition has been chiefly
espOused by the same class of persons who have
popsed with equal earnestaess hereses OF kind
pAraleled since the decay Of those exraVagant mix-
lures of Christianity and heathensm, which perpexed
the earliest age of the Church The leading pres
of emancipation have been in some few cases SocinAns
and Universalists but for the most part open and
ayoWed unbelever their followers have been recruited
among the votAries Of Shakerism, Communism, Wo-
mans Rights aud Free Love-" who are rife among
the mongrel population OF the Northern States and
Abotonism was until lately regarded by sober Chris
tians in America as one among the many forms OF
belon against Divine Revelation and social order which
have sprung from the unbridled lcence Of wild and
lawess democracy. There il has been closely dent
fed with unbeief az here with belief of strict and
peculiar FORM and for Wlberforce and Buxton its
champions have been Garrison and Theodore Par
Kerr This Is one point on which Yankee ingenuity has
deceived the credulty and msed the Smpathies Of re-
eious bat uRinformed Englishmen. Another delusiOD
still more prevalent has been that the North waS aud
that the South not religious country that pety and
virtue be sought for in the camp Of Builder and
Bleuker and Joe Hooker rather than in that of Lee
and StoneWall jackson. The truth is exactly the
verse Of this. there has, perhaps been less 10 the
South Of that narrow pharslic intoerant Pdrtanism
which distinguished the founders of Massachuset and
ia not yet extinct In New EugAnd but the S0ulhein
have been always earnestly aud devOutly Christian
people among whom the lOabsome doctrines preached
freely and widely accepted in the North hav9 never
found favor; by whom Mormonism and Ffee-Love have
been secuted with indignation and disgust; and among
whom no man who valued his peace aud social position
would dare 10 treat with rreverercetbe ordinances or
the ministers OF religion. Even that institution which
most prOvokes the indignation Of religious Engshmen
has been defended in the South save on Christian
grounds and it has been left for the Aboloaists TO
postpone the authority of Revelation 10 their peculiar
doctrine and OCry out for can ansayery Church, an
anti slavery Bible, and an anti-slAvery God" No slm
lar blasphemy would have found federation from any
Southern audience It not the countrymen of Gar
rison and Claiming, but those Of Stonewal Jackson
and George Washington, who have the highest ellims
on our feelings Of Christian sympathy and Christian
brotherhood.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Tee Imperial Court OF Lyons Las Just given a judg-
ment which decides an important point Of law relating
to life insurance. In 1862 radesman named Bouvard
died Gsolyent, leaving vile and children, for whose
benefit he had time before insured his life for 90
0OOfr. as yeatly premium Of l072fr. The widows
claim to this money Oppo ed by her husbands credi
tIrs who insisted that the 0000fr. belonged to the
bankrupps estate, and commenced proceedings to r .
cover the same After feaing counsel for the creti
and the widow, the Court decided that the contract by
which person nsures to a third party the payment Of
certain sum at hiJ deceasc was perfectly legal unless
the insurance were made with fraudulent Intention,
which not alleged in the present case and that no
other person had any claim on the money so insured
it accordingly gave judgment rejecting the demand OF
the creditors and authorizing the insurance company to
pay the 20 O0Ofr to the widow.

A letter in the Columbus Baqsirr, from the front,
dated 2ath ult., says:
Last night our skiTmhhers concluded to test the
mettls OF the enemy about 10 P. N. they advanced
and opened upon their skirmishers; they stood
their ground for about half an hour then broke and
fed 70 their breastWOrks. During the melee their
cannon opened upon US furiously We suffered no

down with knapsacks blankets and canteens. Captain

that h0 fell back TO Chattanooga because it was "A

Their regulars were terribly cut to pieces. This is no

The Saturday Reysw has the following remarks on
the press Of the Confederate States
The tone pervading the press Of the Southern Con-
federacy, and evnciug the state Of public opinion 10
sIikingy different from tina. of the Northern jour.
mails that it has been frequent subject of remark during
the course Of the present There eafnestness
Of purpose, and calmness OF judgment in weighing
success and preparing for Disaster which form the most
remarkable contrast TO what one would wish to CALI
the Eogsh spirit of the Northern press and people,
At time has this high tone been more apparent than
at the present crisis Of the There is no attempt
at evadng the fact that disasters Of great import have
happened and may still happen; but at the time
the people Of the South urged to the strongest ex-
ertons aud most unweared efforts retrieve their mis-
fortunes. Already the tide of defeat seems partially
have been arrested for the Southern armies though
repulsed not routed aud their Generals able to
conduct retreats without impairing the efficiency OF
their troops The circumstance lie remaI kable aud
must be accounted for by the that the superior ee
ments which form the Confederate armies are able to
resist the decentralization consequent retreat, by
which the discipline Of the best European troops
is tried.
