ReIgIons ImsiruCtiom OF Children

Some teachers suppose that no bene-
fit, but much evil, would be the result
Of the early and systematic instruction
of children in morals and religion
This is q great mistake The doctrines
of Christianity, if properly presented,
can have only beneficial effect upon
the minds and hearts of the young. Is
there aught in these doctrines that can
render the mind gloomy and unsocial ?
Will the habitual gratitude Of the heart
10 the Supreme Benefaetor detract from
the enjoyment of his gifts? Will the
idea of constant presence and protec-
tion-the love and favor of such Be-
ing-tend to depress the mind ? Or
will the wish for the appreciation of his
Heavenly father, friend, protector and
judge, and the fear Of his displeasure,
impair the energy of virtue1 Why,
then, do we reject the salutary assist
ance which religion offers us to subdu-
ing the worst, and cultivating the best
passions and affections Of the human
hearth Alas! because that, by the
public and The splendid scense of this
vain and transitory life, we are so com
pletely engrossed, that in the edaca-
tion Of our children we lose every 9th
er view but that of qualifying them to
attract the applause and admiration OF
the world. For this in our boys We
cultivate the understanding, while we
neglect the heart; in our girls we leave
both heart and understanding to the
care OF chance, while we assiduously
endeavor to make them excel in few
superficial and useless accomplish
ments. But while we thus strive to
build the fabric of their fame, it is to
be feared thati laying the foundation,
we sometimes undermine their happi-
ness.

Influence of a Good Life.

There is an energy Of moral suasion
in good mans life, passing the high
est efforts Of the orators genius. The
seen but silent beauty Of holiness
speaks more eloquent Of God and duty
than the Tongues Of men and angels.
Let parents remember this. The best
inheritance parent can bequeath
to a child is virtuous example, a le-
gacy OF hallowed remembrances and
associations. The beauty Of holiness
beaming through the life Of aloved re-
lative or friend, is more effectual to
strengthen such as do stand in virtues
way, and raise up those that arc bowed
down, then precept, command, entrcaty
or warning. Christianity itself, he
lieve, owes by far the greater part of
its moral power, not TO the preccpts or
parallels Of Christ; but to His own
character. The beauty of that holi
ness which is enshrined in the foul
brief biographies Of the Man Of Naz
areth, has done more, and will do more
to regenerate the world and bring il
everlasting righteousness, than all 9th
er agencies put together. 1t has done
more to spread His religion in the
world than all that has ever beer
preached or written on the evidence,
o Christianity.

NV YoRK, Aug. 8.
The Heralds New Orleans correspondent
says the regulation Of freedmen affairs and the
adjustment of difficulties between the planters
and the c0l0red people, of course, still en-
crosses large portion Of ofattention on the part
OF the Government officials and the public
generally in Louisiana.
The assistant superintendent of the freed
men at Shreveport gives very favorable
statement, representing that the majority Of
the negroes in that section are now working
under contracts with their former masters
Some of the planters in the vicinity Of Port
Hudson have petitioned Gen. Candy for the
removal OF the garrison at that place, on the
plea that the negroes are neglecting their
work and focking thither. The General has
referred the matter tothe Freedmen's Bureau,
but it is not likely that the garrison will be
removed.
The General has recently issued an or
der terminating the collection of taxes in New
Orleans for municipal purposes by the mill
tary authorities the assessment now pro-
vided for by the State laws being considered
ample.
On the Goth of July all but two of the yes
sells of the late blockading squadron remain
ing of Galveston were ordered North, and in
a few days after one of these, the steam sloop
of war Oneida, also took her departure, leav-
ing only the gunboat Port Royal to guard the
post.
The HeralTs correspondent from Mata-
moras and Brownsville show the falsity of the
silly stories published in some of the papers
of Washington and other places to the effect
that General Brown had sent United States
troops across the Rio Grande to assist the
Mexican republicans against the imperialists.

July, up TO which time the most amicable re-
lations prevailed between our own officers and
soldiers on the east side ofthe river in Texas,
and the imperiaists on the opposite side.
Movements on the other side Of the stream
give every indication of the design of main
tanning permanent military establishment Of
considerable strength.
