All suffering from irritation of the throat

forded by the use of Brown Bronchial
Troches.' The demulcent ingredients
allay pulmonary irritation; and, after
public speaking or singing, when the
throat is wearied and weakened by too
much exercise, their use will give re

Baltimore to their Most Rev. Archbishop
Dear Archbishop Spalding. Whether Sec

whose sense of duty is his only motive oil
action; but we know also that this I'M
prompted expression of cordial concurrence
on the part Of your priests, whom your I'M
varying paternal kindness has taught to
love you, and whom You have ever hon
with Difference their advice.
If, dear Archbishop, all Awerica has a
right to feel proud of him who 80 de-
servedly holds the frst place amongst heI
Prelates, surely yonr Immediate clergy
may deem themselves at liberty TO give ex-
preston to their feelings. AS often as we

Church's infallible authority the Infalli-

Christ himself proclaimed more than
eighteen centuries ago, We shall think
with pride of the jealous and able advocacy
which our own Archbishop gave to the de-
finition of dogma, the proclamation OF
throughout the world a powerful impulse
and renewed vigor of growth. God loves

We have, dear Archbishop, the honor and

PRESBYTERIAN SCHOOLs.-We have seen
with pleasure during the<past week that
our Presbyterian felloH <citizens are to or
eanize q set of schools for the education of
their children, ts6d with such practical
names as thes6of j. A. Maybin and VIM. o.
Rogers, EsGs., among the movers of thepro-
ject wes6annot doubt that good plan will
be adopted. This movement is probably
t1e result of arrangements introduced into
the Common School system as at present
ehnducted, and, if the Presbyterians are
determined not to send their children to
those schoolsyw we are certainly pleased to
see them providing pisces where the more
needy among their brethren may secure the
advantages of education to their children.
Indeed we are glad to see the movement,
irrespect4ve of the disorganizing element
that has been introduced into the Common
Schools, and even supposing them to be
fiourishing in all possible vigor and perfec-
ton. We shall be glad to see these chill
dren in schools where the idea of God is
recognized by authority, where morality is
taught aud religion venerated. 1t is true
that the pupils in this case viii be raised
heretics. but that is far better than that
thew should become scOffers and infdels.
we certainly prefer seeing Protestant
children educated by system which will
Undue their minds with respect for religion,
even though compiled with many errors,
than untleF q syssean whence all religion IL
etudi6usly excluded and the natural effect
of which, 60 far rs 10 goes, is irreGgion.

OuREoLUNTEERs.-It is evident that the
result of the late war has not entirely
damped the native Southern ardor for
arms. For some time after the restoration
Of peace, militia organization was at dis
count, and any proposition to raise a vol
unteer corps would have. been regarded
with disgust, but now we see several regi-
ments raised in few days and more up
plicants for acceptance titan can be received
under the existing militia laws. We have
no doubt that the troops thus organized
will prove as great credit to our city as
its fine volunteer force always was in
former days, and as attractive an object of
admiration in all pageants and public dis
plays.
The spirit which animates our young
men in this movement is quite commend
able and their organization may subserve
ends of utility as we'll as of ornament.
War clouds seem to be darkening over
Europe, and if great struggle should
commence there, the United States may
possibly be drawn into it. In such cases
the South has always borne most honor
able part in the duties of the occasion and
would probably be expected to do 60 again.
At any rate the trite counsel Gin time of
peace prepare for war;" is a good ono and
the rights of no people are safe where they
are not prepared to protect them. Indeed
the interior affairs of State sometimes re-
quire the exhibition of . little military
streneth. "a when it become necessary to
put down q riotous or lawless spirit.
The South is rapidly regaining her
former responsibility in agriculture and
wealth there is no reason why her militsfy
resources should not be correspondtngly
respected.

Piety. We may possibly have placed an
over estimate upon the position which Mr.
Tilton holds In his Church, but that does
not dispose Of all the authority to the same
edlect contained in the same article. The
great Southern Presbyterian General As
sembsy held in Louisville, ought to be good
authority Tor our neighber and it distinctly
anathemAtised the Northern branch as
having complicated religion with politics,
and gone aatray in the doctrines of grace.
They refuse TO unite with their Northern
b.etAren mot only beoause the Northern
church have fatally complicated themselves
with the state in political utterances, hut be-
cause they have compromised "the doctrines
Of grace.
Is not this language sufacisntly .trong to
sustain our point though even no retort at
all from the Northf It shows pretty con-
clusively the very important difference ex-
listing between the parties in the construc-
ton OF the Bible. Mr.. Tilton's counter
charges against Southern Presbyterians Of
being worse than heathens on the slavery
question, may be excepted to as not COM
ing from good authority, but we all know
that the Same sentiments entertained by
the most "pious" Of the brethren /at the
North.
''The Editors Of many of these papers are

say-how nnscrupulousi 1t Is of the last inn
poftAnce that even such men should be under
the restraints of law, and public opinion; if it
were otherwise the most frightful cruelties
might enBue."
The best of men make these errors, which
only show that the Pope may make them
too. Therefore Presbyterian infallibility
amounts to the liberty of making very
gross errors in the construction of the
Bible. And because individuals make them
the Church is no better off. 1t cannot
teach men all truth. 1t cannot tell them
positively whether holding slaves is, or is
not heathenism and terribly sinful. 1t can
not quiet the mind of men unsettled by the
grave charge, that they have perverted the
"doctrine of grace" Neither in morals
nor in faith is there any authority which
can set the doubter right in matters of ex-
tremely grave importance.
Certainly not, says our neighbor, these
are essentials. Fatal admission! For
who shall tell the doubter which are essen
tails and which non-essentialsf
