In this reply the editor coavsys swo
ideas detrimental to the interests, and re-
aeeting upon the morals OF the citizens oil
the city. First-IIs conveys the idea
that ws have churches bat that few
persons attend them, a. persons attending
them win 'snos be crowded for room, y
intimsting that cur citizens are not q
moral people; or second: that The preach
era in charge are Of such an inferior class
intellectually that they cannot interest
their hearers aud therefore fail TO induce
people to attend their respective plaees Of
worship.
Nov all these inferencsa which may be
drawn fran the above reply are false
The fact 10 We hare ak churches in the
city which are well attended every sab,
bath and on all other occasions Of public
warship. We have the Episcopal Mssh-
Church, frame building Of respectable
dinsnsions-the Catholic Church, brick
building Of good size and yell finished
the Congregational Church, brick build
ing of respectable size and fnish-ths
Presbyterian Church, wooden building
large enough to accommodate all who at
tend 1.-THE Episeopalian' Church, = aeai
wooden building, anished with much taste
and elegance, and the Dutch Reform
Church, neat brick structure handsome
iy finished. We have also in the course
Of construction, ard nearly flashed, .
large, commcdious Presbyterian Church,
built Of brick and in Q ssyls that will
compare favorably with churches in aont
OF the IN ost aourishing cities Of the East
In addition TO these facts, We win furthei
state that tho ministers in charge Of tbs
above named Churches are men Of talsnl
and unquassionabls piety and devetien ID
the canse in which they are engaged.
Had the editor of the NoapareiI stated
these facts, instead Of barlesqueing tbs
Churches, the Preachers and the People
- BIS did In the above answers to hia cor.
respondent, be would, At least have ex.
kibised better sense, il be did noe mak'
80 much display Of wit.
/ His replies ia relation to OR wharfa
the health Of cur city, ara snch abortiv'
attempts at Wit that they do net require

We will remark, however, that ouI
steamboat landing il like all sthers OF
the Upper Missouri; and thai the healsE
Of the city and the surrounding country

Union. Add, ii anybody fsels like smi
grating Wess, that they cannot, 10 Gu
opinion, fad more thrifty and health,
place than Council BlnEs wess OF the Mis-
sIssippi River.
