V (Kr An article in the October. o of the Advocate, in Which we spoke of an Address made to the members ofthe different cburcM cs in North Carolina, by Rev. C. MT. Deems, Agent for the American Bibh So cicty, or .this State, and of the quantjtie of Bibles which had been sent to these wes tern counties and were now lying unattm ded to, has called out the following lettirs. tVith neither of tho Brethren have welhe pleasure of an acquaintance. The frst, Rev. SMSf. BayAJtr, we have seen oice, and perhaps had the honor of personal in troduction to him, but that is all. His letter is respectful, and his suggestions as toj the true cause of tho state of things alluded ta by us, may, Tor aught we can now say, be correct. We have never enquired wcth er the Bibles belonged to a National, State or County Society nit we kndwlsflulwo have repeatedly seen Bibles "in diflrent places, for more than four years last fast, and when we enquired for' the ownership, we were invariably informed that they be. longed to the Bible Society;, and had been sent tnaro ror rrtsnrouttuu. " w have more than once, offered to buy them, or a part ol them, in order to meet the calls made upon us for the word of God, but have, in every case wberewe could have got them at all, raeehfisked neatly fifty percent, more than what we have had to give for Bibles in New York and Charleston, and of coursedid not purchase. We must still believe there has been mismanagement and culpable neglect on the part of some person or persons, but who, we cannot prentend to say. - We take pleasure, however, in exempting brother Deems, from censure in this matter as tho time since his appointment has been too short for him to attend to this with his other important duties ; though we are by no means sure that all previous Agents opera ting in tho bounds of this State, have at. lEflJaJ-' - 'W'anycsFTtf tficy should have done. This is the reason why we wished to know how long brother Defms had been acting. rn'referehco" to the letter ofthe Agent, we have a few words to say. He seems painedand surprised that we should think of taking exceplionslo ahcoureo wTifchlhe American Bible Society should think pro per to persue. True our pretensions are humble, and our sphere 61 operations quite mitcd vertheless, we have the honor to be a member of a christian church in N. Carolina, and as such, upon seeing the ad dress of tho Agent to the members of the different churches, in this State, we con. sidcred ourselves addressed incommon with Others iJookei upon thaaddress as public-4 property, and felt at liberty to say what pur judgment dictated in reference to it. The Agent intimates that we shdujd have written to him, to obtain theThformation we sought. This, we did not deem ourself at " liberty to do, as he was an entir stranger, but his Address, was, after being printed, public matter. A grievous evil as we considered it existed; this was tho first time in more than Jfour years past that we had heard of an Agent in the State, and we considered it proper for us to make a public expose of the mismanagemeftt which liadaken- -place in these regions fin order that the evil if pos sible, might be corrected and similar-ones in future prevented, and from he tone of the Agent's letter, we are satisfied that so far as ho is concerned it will be thocasep As wo stated before, we look upon the ob jects ofthe A merican Bible Society as wor thy of all commendation and should be sup. ported, by all portions of the comrhuDiiy j but we do and expect we ever shall object unhcsitaUngly?ilo such a course i&f busi ness as has been pursued in some o) these western counties. We wish, however, the blame to rest where it is deserved and no. where else. t Brother M'Anally: My attention has been called to an Editorial In tho Temper ance Advocate, concerning C. M.F.Deems, and the American Bible Society. Injustice to the Agent, and the institution, I will give you and the readers of the Advocate, the information required. 1 In the first place, I would remark, that it is not Mr. Deems, but brother Deems, formerly of the New Jersey, now of the North Cardliaa Conference. Secondly he was appointed General Agent for the State some time during the past summer. Thirdly, he knows nothing about the old worm eaten" Bibles in the western coun ties, unless he has acquired such knowledge recently through the Advocate. Fourthly, he has rnever.crossedlhe JUue Ridge, but designs in regular course visiting that por tion of the State. I will here say that in our estimation he isevery way worthy of your .confidence, and should he stand among you to plead the blessed cause of the Bible, I ask you to greet him with a brothers wel come. . , A word or two respecting tho stock of bles in yourcountry mouldy and worm. eaten.'"

Brother Deems is the Ager)t of the, American biwe society the design of which, as you know, is not limited to the supply of tho destitute of our own country, bt extends its action to aid tho Missionary in all lands, sending light and" 1lfeTothC ends" tTtio earth. Tlie one great object ?f this noblo society is to give tis Bible without noto or comment the unfettered wrd of God to all people, that they may rc'd in their own tongue, of Christ and Salvn'bn.

Be as- ired that neither the American Bible So- ty nor its present worthy and efficient gent, is responisble for the state of things which you so justly complain.

DEEMS, Agent American Bible Society. Nine-tentbs of the miseries and vices of mankind proceed from Idleness. With men of quick minds, to whom it is especially pernicious, this habit is commonly the fruit of many disappointments and schemes oft baffled ; and men fail in their schemes not so much from the want of strength as from tha ill direction of it. The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish swncthinhf the strongest, by dispersing bis over many may fail to . accomplish' any thing.
