CORRESPONDENTS constantly ask US
to rewrite their illusions. This is some
times done when the information fur
nished affects the great body of our
readers; but it rarely happens that any
use is made of a communication written
on both sides of a letter sheet, and 50
carelessly constructed that the writer
must ask the editor TO revise and copy it
for the printer. Editors have other mat
ters to occupy them, and then these
badly constructed communications are
often consigned unread to the waste
basket. The newspaper is not a school
in which TO educate writers. They must
be taught elsewhere, and not mistake
editors for p~edagOgues.

Mr.. H. B. PLANT, President of the
Southern Express Company, and &
prominent member Of the Southern Sc
curity Company, has, by his associate:
Of that company, as we learn, beer
elected President of the consolidated
lines of railroad from Bristol, on the
Virginia border, to Memphis, on the
Mississippi. Under one management,
and such management as we know Mr.
Plant has the ability to bring TO beai
upon it, this grand trunk line of road
must become the most important in q
financial, as it is in geOgTaPhiealsense
coming into Memphis. In May next
Mr.. Plant will be in the city, and in
June, as per contract, the Charleston
road viii be turnedS eer to him as the
representative of the lessees. Mr.. Wicks,
thus freed from railroad cares, will be
able to turn his attention in other diree-
tons, perhaps more probably to him
and the people Of Memphis. With a
genius for work, he cannot be idle, and
we may expect to hear from him in con-
nectiOn with other great enterprises.

The members of their Church should he
grateful for the accident which brought
this important fact to light; it will help
them to understand whether their conf
dence in their religious teachers is well
founded.
If Their assertion on this point is true,
Bishop Elder must have known before he
wrote that letter, and while he was writing
IL, anu when he sent it, that its statements
| were unreliable,
The Editors of their paper who published
1t without one word Of dissent, knew this
when they published it. Tie Archbishop
who commends and approves" their
paper still, must have known that his en-
d"rsement sanctions statement which
cannot be maintained This letter was
ev;.dtni'y written and published that it
might 10" believed, and it has never been
withdrawn. Our neighbors, therefore,
force us to the conclusion that Roman Ec-
cIesiastlcs and Editors are in collision to
create public sentiment and religious be-
iief, founded on statements which they
themselves acknowledge to be unreliable.
.. In order to avoid admitting that Peter
was deatitute of the infallibiity claimed
lor the Pope; they are compelled to admit
that Romish ArchbishOpe, Bishops and
Editors are deliberately and systematically
deceiving their people by means of state
ments which cannot be quoted as authority
or information.
We are sorry to learn that Bishop Elder
whose duty it is "to judge aud interpret"
cannot be believed in this matter. We
should say that if a man in his position
should deliberately circulate statements-
known to be unreliable-on such q ques-
ton, he does not deserve to be believed on
any other question. For, all this must
have been known to him beforehand and
if he really kne,o his definition to be unre-
liable. it is difficult to see how he could
urge it upon the belief of others without
intending to deceive. Neither can we per-
ceive how those who published this letter
without any hint of disapproval. will
shield themselves from the charge of being
partners in a purpose to deceive the COM
munity, on this most important point.
Every one will draw the inference that if
Roman writer's and Ecclesiastics, can de-
deliberately deceive us in one particular,
they cannot be safely trusted in any other.
Who can believe in their assertions, refer
ences, or citations, if their very definitions
are iDsinceref The universal verdict will
be, falsus in uno, talsus in omnibus!
We advise onr neighbors to abandon such
slippery tactics, which can only. serve to
show the dishonesty of those who-use
them. And we exhort them to redeem
their promise of proving from the word of
God-if they can-that Peter was infallible.
If they cannot prove it, we ask them, like
honest man, to say SO.
We shall then be ready to consider their
other arguments, If they hare any.

Our Rev. Clergy men in the country have
it in tLeir power to aid US in greatly in
creasing the circulation of the STAR. In
each town or village throughout tho South,
a few words from the resident or visiting
priest would secure the accession to our

pushing this work, besides the strong rea-
sons which have actuated His Holiness,
Pope Plus, and all the Bishops of our Holy
Mother the Church. to advise the general

we would respectfully offer, as a further

as they may select, to the value of one

Infallibility by the Evidence OF the
Church.

1t appears to US that our neighbor the
Presbyterian, is under a temporary eclipse.
The increase of personality in it's style
and its manifest tagging in the effort to
keep somewhat up with the argument
would seem to indicate that the writer
heretofore conducting it's side Of the discus
sion had for the time given way to another
of less urbanity and ability.
The Presbyterian is making strenuous
effort to avoid the real question end draw
attention to side issues that have nothing,
Its chief point now is one of indignation
against Romanists for suppressing facts
and deceiving people generally; first, in
our own instance, as to the opposition of
certain Catholic States to the dogma of In
fallibility and second, in the instance of q
little note that Bishop Elder, of Nathez,
wrote in utter innocence of the thought
that it had any thing to do with this dis
cussiol
The charge against us is that we made
O "positive assertion that the Romish Co.
vernments in Europe did not reject this
dogma" and that this assertion "was not
based upon any information in reference to
the subject" Now we ask in all candor
what has that to do with the question.
That question is not whether the MORNING
STAR is infalhble in matters of history but
morals. Surprising the charge true, there
fore, it is nothing but point to draw us
away from the real work of the battle and
the pursui. of an enemy already democrat
lied and broken.
But though the point is one of such
slight importance we will say in the inter-
est of truth, LIST, that we have not admitted
ignorance of any facts which show that
Romish Governments have rejected the
dogma; Cd, that the facts quoted by the
Presbyterian do rot prove anything of the
sort, and Sd, that even though q Catholic
had expressly rejected it, that
would have nothing to do with it's correct
ness. The Almighty has not given to go
the power of deciding in spirit
ual question, though the Episcopalians have
given it and all other Protestant sects
would like to do SO if they could get any
government to accept the job.
