in question; and most decidedly object to the
modus operandi adopted by the aforemen-
toned gentleman.
Bishop GRECO, of Texas, has been in the
North for some months on similar mission.
The Tribune contains letters from Texas ne
groes, saying that the Bishop was not author
lied to beg for them that when they wanted
their Northern friends to assist them in the
cause of education, etc., they would send del
egates of the proper color. Now 1t cannot
but be extremely unpleasant to Southern gen.
tlemen and oven Southern Christians to see
procedure of this kind, which puts it in the
power of vile and habitually calumnious
sheet like the Tribune, to snub some Of our
best men,-and on what must appear to
Northern readers as good grounds.
Pride, we are taught, is unchristian, but
surely self-respect is the foundation stone of
all character. And in the present posture of
affairs, we should prefer q little less hob
nobbing with our Northern brethren.
We are pleased to see move in some of
the Southern States toward independent Tract
and Bible Societies. If our Churches deem
such institutions necessary, there is no reason
whatever why they should remain clients
and pensioners of the New York and New
England religious cliques who cannot hand
q Bible or q Tract to their Southern brother(?)
without taunt at the late stakeholder. A
recent copy of the New York Tribune, in
noticing the move just mentioned, does go
with its usual malignity, insinuating that the
Southern Churches first got all they could
out of these Societies, and then went off and
left them. The records will show that the
bulk of these foundations was contributed by
Southern iberality. ....s.
1t is not thus that union, harmony and
Christian fellowship can be restored to a suf.
fering country. 49,.

lieve that he is almost, il not altogeth per-
suaded il his own mind that the immediate case
to the rearing and educating the tender offspring
of our valiant and faithful soldiers (who now fill
the patriots grave)-is Of paramount Importance
admit that it is our duty to search out and
maintain the identity Of the graves or burial place
Of our departed braves Such has been the Gus
tom Of all people and nations, and (as I have
heard it before remarked) we have read OF no
Government, however despotlc, that has ever de-
MED to man this sacred privilege. But my object
has been to impress it upon the minds of these
devoted mothers, wives and sisters, forming the
Ladies' Association of Charleston, the Importance
Of letting this sympathizing and benevolent duty
which they have undertaken to perform, Of identi-
flying and marking the graves Of departed hus-
bands, brothers and son, stimulate them with the
determined resolution to go forward promptly in
the great and cook work of Immediately caring
for the destitute widow and orphan.
It is now nearly five years since these tender
children lost the protecting hand OF kind
father and we all know that it is with them, like
as with the young and tender corn, which requires
the early work and constant care Of the husband
man, that he may clear away, dig about its roots
and keep down the obnoxious weeds and briers
that would otherwise choke and destroy it's valu
able fruits. Just 80 with the young, innocent and
active mind of early childhood it must have oul
prompt, watchful and constant cultivation, il
order to save it from the destructive vices ant
snares that are 80 certain, if neglected, to bias
the character and destroy that mind which, whel
breathed into man, he became living soul, ant
like unto the image Of his God.
