4 SIGN,-Two thousand male and
female teachers have held a congress
in enc Of the provinces of Austria,
al which resolutions were adopted to
the following effect;
1. The teaching of religion, &C.
cording to creed, is opposed to the
fundamental principle of popular ed
ucatiOn. 2. Religious teaching should
develop as simply and spiritually as
possibly the knowledge of the origi-
nal source Of existence by means of
science and history. 3. The teach
ing of morality should proceed by
example as we'll as by precept. 4.
1t being admitted that the teaching
Of religion and morality is irrespec-
tive Of creed, the necessity for an
ecclesiastical teacher of religion in
national schools disappears.

SSPI' ~ IL -
Gentlemen In reply to your
communication of this date, we beg
leave to say that we have, for several
weeks past, been cognizant of rumOrs
to the effect that yellow fever exists
in New Orleans. For obvious rea-
sons, we have taken especial pains to
investigate the subject, and We can,
in all candor, aver that neither of US
has seen any thing approaching the
disease; that We have not encountered
a physician who has seen a case; and
that we have no good and valid rea-
son to believe there is a case in the
city. Indeed, the health of New Or
leans this season, and at the present
time, is remarkable.
Very respectfully,

To Coz. DaUiS, Aas'iR:
There are but five cases of yellow
fever in the city, and but three deaths
in ten days. None of the cases are
considered dangerous, and there is
no fear of the spread of the disease.
The quarantine now enforced seri
Ously impedes commerce, and many
persons of your State nOwin the city
are greatly incommoded by it.

To Goyern0r Darts, Austin:
There are only two reported cases
of fever here. The city was never
in healthier condition. I have my
family, unacclimated, here, and would
not keep them IN the city an bour
did l deem it dangerous.

They can reach your State in three

Many of our oldest and best ply

yellow fever. Also, they hold that
not a single case has appeared this
season.
