In what, then, shall we find it ? "We shall find it in this in the influence, we Leandidly believe, of Church teaching, which. where properly underatool.ana carried out, 19 sim ply tha teaching of the word 01 ttod. These peo ple had been born and reared under the influence of that teaching their very cradles bad been the couches of it. They -were not taught that they must be converted. Tbey were treated from the outset as Christians as believing the gospel, and were led on, from day to day, and step by step, in the ways of the eospel. Among other lessons taught them, we know this to hare been one to be contented and satisfied with the condition in which ,God, who allots to all their place: and por tion in this world, ha fixed them. "Art thou caUei Teing a tlavet (doulos ecletbea ?) Car not for it Brethren, let every than, wherein he is called, nbkit therein with God" This tbey were taught, as a part 01 the;r religion. They were not taught to get religion, but to d it-rto lire In It to make it part and parcel of their daily life and actions: As servant! tbey were taught to be obe dient to their masters, in all things not With oye service, aa men-pleaaers, but as the - servants of Christ,! doing the will of God from the heart. Now, we would not say that these, and such like le&eons are omitted in the teachings of tbe de nominations.' By nd means.' Ye . believe jbem to be as faithful as we are, In their own way; but the difference Is this : The denominations treat the j negro, as indeed they do all persons who have not gone through a certain mental process called coo- version, as a heathen. They approach him as If be bad never beard or (jurist, and were in no sense or degree, under the influence of His religion, and tell him he must be converted. To this end, meant and appliances are resorted to music, especially, .which bas peculiar power over tbe race to excite his feelings, and to work him up tn a state of en thusiasm. In this state.be loses sight of every thing that is reali tangible and practical. " He becomes excited and bappy, Just as he would, at a dance, or merry-making of any kind,, where music and singing prevailed, and he takes that bitef state of pleasant feeling, for oowvxasiON, taking it for granted that he- has got religion.'' After this, the duties of the gospel may be urged Upon him with lie greatest fulness and power but be thinks all t&Is is only something by the way; This may all be very well, but tbe main part of the business bas long since been accomplished ; he has been'conrert-ed--he got religion etucb a time and place, and it was a rery pleasant proeess. He would gladly go tbroagb It once a year, If not once a week, and hence looks out, with anxious expectancy, for ere ry Opportunity of a revival. ' Practising the du ties of the gospel, howeter resisting his natural propensities to lie, steal, bate, and revenge him selfgoing about bis daily labor with steadiness and diligence, from a sense of duty to God de nying himself, and taking Up his Cross and walk ing inthe commands and ordinances of the Lord, blameless all this is comparatively,' a dull and iFeless business. It is much more agreeable to get religion by the wholesale, under the influence 01 an exciting tune, adapted to words or soul stir ring energy ; and no tnatter how he may fail In the- morulities of the Christian life, 'he goes back to Its commencement, or' what he was told to be such,'and consoles himself by the recollection of the happy feelings be then enjoyed,' trusting that u uuaequeiib ueucienciea-wui 00 'orenoosea on tnat account. --now, we ask all those wbocoun tahaoce the system of things which .favors and leads to this process, whether we are pot speaking a littlenot a little, either, but a good deal to their own experience ?.

He becomes the victim of an imagiaatioo, stimnlated, to madness, by the lower nd more controlling elements of his nature substituting feeling for duty, and the' ravings of Bacchanal, for the peaceful and holy suggestions of the grace ot" God." .The extracts from tne intelligencer are so long, that I have but little room for comment. I must say, however, that these extracts present food for serious thought, and careful consideration. ; The religious instruction of our slaves Ira matter which must be attended to, if - we intend to do our duty. : We owe it no lets to. the well-being of the slave, than to our own interest.

At some future time,' I will enter more at .length upon this subject. Now, I must content myself with noting, iq brief, some points in which l so essentially agree witn tne writers. j. ''Unhealthy religious excitements," says the correspondent, haver been avoided as religiously as the cholera aud yellow fever the former being considered as detrimental to the soul as the latter are to the body." This is "the truth, the whole truth, and noth ing but the truth." The editor says, the negroes spoken of, ''were not taught to get religion, but to do it to live in It to make it part and parcel of their daily life and actions." Again tbe editor says : "The denominations treat the negro, as indeedthey do all persons who hare not gone through a'praticular mental j pro Oess, called conversi m, as a heathen. They ap proach him as if he had never hard of Christ, and were in no sense or degree, under the influence of His religion, and tell him be must be converted. To this end, means and appliances are resorted to music, especially, which has. peculiar power oyer the race -to excite his. feelings, aad to. work him up to a state of enthusiasm. . In this state, he loses sight of everything that is real, tangible, and practical." But why should I continue to quote extracts which are particularly good ? Were I to con tinue to do so, I shoulu haye to quote all tbe editorial by piece-meal. I will return to the article, again, at some fuiure time. 1 Will not theSarannah Rebaplican, which has shown a oommendable disposition lately, notwith standing it is a sicular journal, and notwithstand ing it' may be a matter of Surprise to see' Saul among the prophet which has shown a com mendable disposition lately to advance the cause of .Christian truth and liberality will not the Savannah Republican republish this article, in order to show how much good sense there is amone tbe Episcopalians, in some things, and j bo whittle real, danger tthere la in patronizing their schools? - .LETTER FROM JOHN MITOHEL. Amond the coriespondence captured recently by the Yankee. Government from Mai. Saunders, was a letter addressed by John Mi ten el one of the Irish rebels of 1848 to the Dublin Nation. It commeneea by telling how he escaped into Vir ginia. He arrived incog, at New York, and pro ceeded as fast as possible. to,one of the Southern Counties,, where, in company with two officers of the Confederate army, he crossed the Potomac. "close by . four gunboats, and under the bow of a Yankee revenue cutter." He extols the people of the tower "countlet of- Maryland, sava thev are loyal to the core to the Confederacy, and that tbey kre constantly -smuggling contraband goods to their friends in the South. Mr. Mitchel says tbst north of the Potomac there ia no law, and he was in doubt all the time whether he was in America, or Poland, or Veoetia. The people of Maryland engage a great portion of the writer's attention, and. he cannot find words enough , to ext .ll them for their patience and Southern pa triotism. Richmond he finds very little changed, and that the Irish citizens, are giving a t'earty support. to the Government. The letter concludes with tbe following: . . H There are, asI learn, about forty thousand Irishmen in tbe Southern ermvr but thtfi ir distributed, as they ought to be, through alf regi ments and all nrms of the service; and baveUever ben formed into an Irish brigade. They 0 not pretend to fight this American quarrel as irish men, nor do tbey desecrate the name nor' j-fosti-tute.the flag of Ireland at all. As for the xfprth ern" Irish, who seem. to have got themselvei "pur suaded that- the enfreochisement of Irela is, somehow, to result from tbe subjugation the South, and .that the Tepeal of one Union inEu rope depend1 on the enforcement of a&her Union in America. Our friends here do nbtorell understand tbe process Of reasoning whicbSfeads to ! that 'conclusion; nor do I; They call'ytbote Northern ibroes, by the one general nameFan fcfs,and indignantly protest that the green btfh 6a g under 'wbich "Irish" brigades have chosen to march to the invasion and subjugation of tbe Sputb, is not the banner, of Ireland at all mere ly one of the Yankee insignia. 4 n all this I agree with (hem entjrely ' Nobody has the right to un . furl the colors of Ireland lb a war of invasion and piundejr and coercion These Irish at the South nave" never pretended to mix up their native country in the struggle; they indulje in no Fon teooyism; they, flaunt no Sunbursts; tbey display n their, banners no round towers, wolf-dogs, or crownless harpe; but go ahead quite aim ply, under the atari add ban of their adopted country, to de fend their own homes and hearths from a host of geedy invaders. If they should ever be over powered and defeated, Ireland at leastwill not be dishonored iatbeir- persons, But tbey have no taought or being defeatadt and J. will sum up my tmpresoion bj declaring my eonyictioa that 1 thii VnXadaracr can narar ba ooBAatrtd. 1: r XfliCQLONBL ZABVQNA;a ; ,The Nassau correspondent of the Obarleston OonrieT". writes an interesting letter under date of the 10th ibstant, from which we make the fol lowing sUmngVxlract f ; t ; The case of that gallant pirit, the high-ton ed and gallant Zarrona, is one of the most har rowing on record. :Xet it fe, published to tbe world.

Seward seems determined to kill; hia rictim. it- ' V;'"' ; ..' ' A rusa worthy, of- the "boasted "cuteness" of Brother Jonathan, was practised at one time on the prisoners. The keeper of the Bastile suspect ing that Zrvona was in correspondence wlyi hit fellow prisoners, bad him quietly removed to the Guard House, one day, and placed one of the Eederal Sergeants, who bore a r&emblance to Zarrona, dressed in his uniform, at his cell win dow. (This was before tbe window was her met-; ically sealed.) The pretended Zarvona salu ted the prisoners as they passed, and occasionally threw to thorn bits of paper, wrapped around nails or. small . piece of wood. The plan succeeded. Those of the prisoners who picked up tbe decoys were thrust into the Guard House. Amffng the suspected was a gentleman from Maryland, Mr. UL W. Cecil. On suspicion of the crime o communicating with Zarona, he was put in a cell two and a half feet by six in size, and though ha was in delicate health there he was incarcerated for ten weeks. His food .was Coarse and scant ; his health failed and finally he was taken ill. The doctor was sent for, but be brutally declared that, nothing was tbe matter. A goad natured feoldier, however, exclaiming in his own emphaN ic way "that it waaa d d shame," subsequently procured Mr. Cecil-some medicine, which be thinks saved his life. Supposing, perhaps, that be was - sufficiently punished, or that they were sufficiently revenged, the authorities released Mr. Cecil from solitary confinement,' and- he came again among bis fellow men a shadow of his for mer self, his face haggard, his hair turned grey, and his 'body wasted to a skeleton. Only tbe greatest attention from his leilow prisoners pre served his life. He was released from the fort two months afterwards, after bsviog been confin ed for fourteen months for no ascertainable cause whatever , A Scini at St. Louis. The following para graph ig taken from a late number of the New York"imes:? The boat from St. Louis, just in, brings intelli gence df the arrival there yesterday of the Rebel prisoners from Arkansas Post. An Intelligent passenger informs pie .that there was a very nu merous gathering upon the levee to witness, and, as it proved, on the part of hundreds of sympa thizers, to welcome their arrival, and to make the occasion a kind of ovation to treason. . finding so many friends on the dock, and so many manifes tation of sympathy, the Rebel prisoners gave vent to savsge outcries of defiance, whleh.were re sponded to from tbe landing. One of the privates, more impudent and tonguey than thereat, voluns teered to be spokeman for thecrowd, and, mount ing a temporary rostrum, harangued tbe assem blage for an hour in the; .most exciting and trea sonable language. He applied to tbe Yankee every term of abuse and contempt which his -peculiar vocabulary could furniahj without the slightest interruption from the officers in charge. Barrels of apples were brought down to the dock, their heads stove in, and their contents showered among the prisoners. And this Is the way we receive in a Union city red-handed rebels from the battle fields where the blood of brave men has flowed in defence of the. Government. Scotch Snuff.
