DR.. Talmags has brought down upon him
self the condemnation Of the spirits because
of some recent structures of his on Spiritual
ism in the Christian at Work. He therefore
publishes in this weeks paper poetic ex-
tract from some ghost who had need Of the
schoolmaster when he (the ghost) was in the
flesh, and this need has not been supplied in
ghostland. DR.. Talmage, therefore, invites
those spirits who have opened correspondence
with him to come to his Office any hour of the
day and he win give them some lessons in
orthography, and perhaps also in me.rical
composition.
The Independent reviews the letters Of Re-
verdy johnson and Charles OConor which
have been published in the HERALD, and
agrees with the latter that the President made
. mistake in behalf OF Kellogg in New Orleans.
It is the duty of Congress, it maintains, to
correct this mistake and guarantee to Louisi-
ana o republican form Of government A
usurpation founded on fraud, in utter viola
ton of the laws of the State and sustained by
federal bayonets, 1t adds, is not and cannot
be such government.
The Christian Union charges the troubles
of the South to the supineness of the edu-
Gated planters and merchants of the South,
who have hitherto refused to take part in the
government Of their respective States, and
have thereby thrown it into the hands of the
vicious of the Southern people and the ras-
cally carpet-baggers of the North. "The Penn
movement" says the Union, $50 peaceably
effected throughout the State Of Louisiana,
has created for Southern ability degree Of
respect which never before existed. The
South, in her sorrow, has the sympathy Of
the intelligence of the entire North; and
were the violent masses Of the South re-
strained, were individual crimes against per.
son and property promptly, legally and ode
quately punished, were confidence estab-
lished between intelligent whites and blacks,
the South would receive from her sister Sec
strong for any faction Of party or of govern
ment to dare to resist.
The Christian Advocate, reviewing Professor
Tyndall and the spread of modern doubt,
thinks it would be better for the men of the
pulpit, and of the religious press too, to say
less about these apostles of unfaith, and tc
teach their people more earnestly and fully the
truths delivered to the Church by Christ and
His apostles. "The calling Of the Church is al
this time, says DR.. Curry, ''much more te
cultivate it's possessions than to defend them
its words should be didactic and hortatory
much more than polemical and apologeticaL y
The Christian Inteuigencer has timely arti
Gle on s'The Poor and the Coming Winter,
in which it advises the wealthy to lay aside
something for the help of the poor, and rec
ommends the latter to provide for the winter
by practising the most active economy, by ex
ercising increased application and industry
by acquiring knowledge Of additional handi
crafts to be used as substitutes for their regu
lar callings when these fail them, and BY
abstaining from liquors, amusements and to-
bacco-those constant drains upon the purse
and upon vitality.
The Examiner and Chronicle sees in the in
