Principals 0bsta. Our readers have no
doubt paid some attention to the movement
now making at the North towards introducing
the name of Christ as thesupreme head of civil
society, in preamble to the Constitution
of the United States To many who have not
considered the origin of this movement, who
do not know what it involves, and of what it is
the torerunner, it may appear a very proper
thing 70 introduce these new clauses into the
Federal Constitution. But those who look
deeper, entertain very different views of the
matter.
1t is probable that agents Of the parties en-
listed in this new Puritan scheme, or agents,
selEappoiRted, and pretending to canvass for
signatures to the petition to be presented to
Congress, viii soon be seen, earpet-bag in hand,
trayersing the South, in all directions, solicit
ing names, and contributions also, in aid of this
sanity enterprise.
One of these volunteer agents has already
made his appearance in this city, and been

THE LAND WE LovE.--Contents-The
March number of THE LAND WE LOVE con-
tains seventeen articles, from able writer's, re
presenting eight Southern States. Among the
poetic contributors, in this number, are Mrs
Margaret j. Preston, Dr. f. o. Ticknor, Judge
A. j. Requier, and j. Augustine Signaigo.-
Among the prose writers are, Rev. DR.. Dab
ney Miss Porter, Gen. Hodge, Hon. Fl. W.
Ravenel, I. c. DeLeon, ESQ.,, &c. Soldiers
will feel an interest in the two military articles
in this number, the lovers of fiction in the two
thrilling stories, agriculturalists in the article
on Japan Clover, literary men in the article on
Mr.. Dickens Readings, and the whole country
in the account of the Burning of Columbia.
Gen. Hill states in this number that he has
purchased the interests OF James P. Irwin and
Captain j. G. Morrison, and has become sole
proprietor of this magazine He trusts that
his old army friends will rally to his support,
that all the Confederate soldiers, who wish the
truth of Southern history to be vindicated,
will see the necessity of supporting the only
magazine devoted to that object; and that the
noble men of the North, who have sympa-
thized with us, in our, sufferings under the
wrongs and outrages of the Jacobin party, will
continue that patronage, which is all the more
gratifying, because of the source from which it
comes.

THE ELEMENTS OF PHYSIOLOGY AND HY-
GENE; A Text Book for Educational In
stitutions By Thomas Fl. Huxley, LII. D.,
f. r. S., and VIM. Jay Youmans, M. d.,
with numerous illustrations
Appleton & Co., New York, have just is
sued this large volume of 400 pages limo.
The character of the first part is thus stated
by the author, Prof Huxley: My object in
writing has been to set down in plain and con-
else language, that which any person who de-
sires to become acquainted with the principles
of Human Physiology may learn, with fair
prospect of having but little to unlearn, as our
knowledge widens."
DR.. Youmans has added eight chapters on
Hygiene The reader will find this work OF
uncommon interest and ability. If it could be
kept from year to year in each household, it
would act a silent but most salutary part in the
education of the young. The chat of discred-
tied doctrine and unsound speculation is win
moved away unsparingly, and the established
results of the latest and most thorough investi-
cations are concisely presented The buyer
may depend upon getting ten times the worth
of his money.
We have received this volume from the
house of A. FL. Christian & Co.

1868.
This is limo. volume of about $50 pages.
In print and binding it is beautiful specimen
of art. But these are not the chief recommen-
dations In its thirty three chapters, we find
most discriminating and judcious discussion
of the whole subject of Sabbath Schools; and
what is of great value is that it is all so prac.
teal in its cast 1t is apparent that no one
could write such book who was not thorough
ly familiar with the whole business Of Sabbath
Schools, as Mr.. Pardee has been for thirty
five years At the same time the author has
condensed the best thoughts, experience and
observation of Sabbath School laborers and
authors, not only in this country, but also in
Great Britain.
We express to such superintendent and
teachers as this notice may reach, the uncom-
mon pleasure received from this work, and as
sure them that they will find in it treasure
of useful matter. 1t would be public bless
ing if copy could be placed in the hands OF
every one throughout the country.
