PEN FIELD.
FRIDAY, MARCH 1, IS4-1.
School for the Deaf aud Dumb.
It is with much pleasure we inform our
readers in die Southwest, that .Mr. S. ’l’.
Potu of Louisville, Miss., has employed a
Teacher to teach the deaf mutes in his own
family and will take pupils at $lO per month
for hoard and instruction. The School is
to open on the liistof March. The terms
are very moderate. We hope that this af
flicted class will avail themseves of the op
portunity afforded of securing access to
many sources of information and enjoyment.
Sabbath Schools.
We hope that the friends of Sahbath
Schools will exert themselves to establish
schools in all our churches. The winter
has passed, the weather has moderated, the
days have been lengthened. Now is the
season for act ve operations. No one knows
how much he can do in-the good cause un
til he makes an effort. Zeal, combined
with prudence and perseverance, will over
come the most formidable diflicullies.
Bj.ik Depositories.
These are established lor the benefit of
the denomination at large. ‘l', ey afford
facilities to those who wish to supply them
selves with good books tograulv that wish.
Those wishing to engage in circulating
them, ought always to accompany their ap
plication for books with as mm It money as
w ill at least pay the original cost of the
books thev order. If every individual is
allowed to draw books from a depository,
without making a deposite of money, our
depositories would soon lie exhausted, and
we should have no funds w iih which to ob
tain new supplies, it is impossible to col
lect, m season, small sums, that are scat
tered throughout an association, or perhaps
a larger section of country. It is desirable,
we think, that each association should have
a depository and employ a colporteur, or
on.- to travel and sell the hooks, converse
oa practical leligiott ami pray wiJi the fam
ilies he may visit, ll a pieacher cTiu lie
engaged as a colporteur, all the better, pro
viileil lie will rely more on the distribution
us hooks, coiiveisatiou and family prayer,
than oil public harangues, for the actum
plislimeut of Ins object—winch should ever
lie, the promotion of the gloty of G nl, in
the holy living of believers and the convic
tion and conversion of unbelievers.
We have been induced to make these re
marks, in consequent: • of the numerous in
quiries that have been made relative to the
Book Depository about to lie established
within the bounds of the Georgia Associa
tion ; but we make them in a general way
that they may he useful wherever deposit
ories are established.
A Little Oasis.
Our esteemed brother, Kev. Luke Rob
inson, writes, •• Since 1 last wrote to you.
I have had the pleasure of baptizing seven
members at Union Grove, and those a
mongst the best citizens in this eouiintini
tv.” We regret that there was cause to
add, “ we however are doing but little at
present.”
Brother 11. proposes to correct, through
our coin unis, * some erroneous views, as to
ministerial support, which he imbibed,
even before entering upon the ministry.’—
Wo shall always be pleased to hear from
him on any subject connected with the
cause ofClnist.
Zion Languish™.
Does not the cause of our blessed Re
deemer languish in the South ? It (locs-
Brethren why is this ? Hath God forgot
ten to be gracious? Has bis ear grown
heavy that it cannot hear ? Has his mercy
failed ? Has he changed bis character and
ceased to be a God of love, a prayer hear
ing ami a covenant keeping Hod? No;
but ire have changed. We have forgotten
our first love, restrained prayer, cast off
fear, lust our solicitude lor the salvation ol
souls and, consequently, ceased, or greatly
abated oar efforts in the cause of Christ.—
Let us with one accord arise from our State
of lethargy, confess our sins', seek forgivt'-
ness, implore grace to prestqp-e us hence
forth pure in heart, fervent in spirit and
faithful and diligent in our high calling, and
endeavor daily to abound more and mote in
every good word and work. Away with
the vanities of lime and sense, after which
the ungodly seek. Away with the eares ol
the world. Doth not out heavenly Father
care for us ? Away with the love of pell,
but cherish, brethren, the love of Jesus.—
The love of Jesus ! —Oh it is life—joy—
peace—riches here ; aud it insures glory,
honor and immortality bey ond the grave.
The lo"ve of Jesus ! Sacrifice every thing
for it—it is worth all the world besides.—
Let us adopt the language of the poet:
“The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol he.
Kelp me to tear it from its throne
And worship only thee.”
For the Flint River Association.
The raason why the Central Association,
at her last session did not appoint Delegates
to the Flint Association, was that the Cen
tral meet again before the Flint—at which
Itrae Delegates will he regularly appointed.
Our Flint brethren will notice this.

Abuse of the Press.
Much has been said and written, of late,
on the abuse of the press, but we do not re
collect that any one lias suggested any
measures to prevent it, we will, therefore,
throw out a suggestion on this subject,
which may pass for what it is worth—we
desire no more.
The character of the press must ever de
pend upon the character of those who con
duel it. If in the hands of iiceutimis men,
licentiousness will not only pass utirebuked.
but will receive passports alike to the book
sellers’ stall, to the family circle, to die most
secret cell ol tire recluse, and even to the.
holy chancel. The duellist will not frown
oil dueling, or on those who advocate the
barbarous practice:’ ami liis frowns will he
reserved for those who decline accepting a
challenge when given, li were vain too n.
expect the lover of strong drink'lo expose
the evils ol aicttlfhlii* hqmits, or the gam
bler die secrets of the I'aro-bank. Men w ill
ever palliate offences of which they them
selves are guilty, and seek lo conceal the
evils of prac ices in wlii -]■ they ar won
to indulge. To preserve the press Iree
therefore from corruption, we must keep it
out ol the hands of the vicious—we must
keep it in the hands of men of virtuous
principles and moral lives. But cantos
he done ? The vicious cannot perhaps be
wholly excluded from the press any more
than hypocrites can he vvbo.lv excluded
from the elilirch ; hut just as re lam as il is
possible to limit die number nl the one, is n
possible lo lunit the muubei of die other.
The number of unprincipled editors aim
printers may, iu our opinion, he so far th
iiiitiislicd as lo lender il necessary ‘.hr them,
lo sueeu and in their voe.itiou, to nil like men
iTI virtue—it may lie so and mimshcd ih.tl-tue
power to control public, sentiment shall he
in the hands of the virtuous, and in theirs
■only. But how is this to be effected ? Tni
is an important inq dry mid tie minds seri
ous attentio i. Oar answer to ii i.s, hv Leg
islative E.tndmenls. At this uiiswci, it is
probable, the leelings ol” many will revolt,
aril some, ol hasty temperaments, will
throw do tv n our paper ami read no thriller.
Imt the lumesl inquirer afu-r truth, we are
persuaded, will give us a p.uienl hearing.
We have laws, requiring those who
would engage in life nine (ice of la w or met!-
iei a-, to obtain a license, and interdicting
the giving ol a liei-iisd to those who do not
possess tlic qualifications which are deem
ed requisite lo a sound exposition of law
alld a salutary adimmslialimi of healing
remedies. Now, we would a-k, ttht
should the lihei ties ol one class of men lie
more restrained than dial id aunt n r? Why
should barriers lie llirovvn in the wav ol
those who would enter the profession o|
law or medicine, while none are inierposeil
in obstruct the wav of those who would en
ter the profession of an editor ora publish
er ? Why, iu other words, should one pro
less ion he more p tvilegcd than another?
Does the welfare ol die community depend
more oil a thorough umlcistauding or a
proper application of the principles of Na
tional law than on those sacre l prin
ciples wlii.-h the Great Author of all things
haiwiiscribed on every leaf iu the volume ol 1
nature, as well as on every page in the vol
ume of inspiration ? Are not vicious prin
ciples more baneful to society- than poison
ous drugs or potions ? ’The latter may de
stiny tin! Imdv, but the former rlestr .vs boili
soul and body—iile, reputation aud proper
ty. The. one affects iml vidttals. the other
a whole community. While a fiinily de
plores the effects of quackery fit law or
medicine, whole nations feel and rue die el
feels of vicious principles, ami heaven con
doles wiih a suffering world.
Oar suggestion then is,'ilia; our legi-la- I
lures require of those who would enter the J
profession of an edttoi or publisher, to ob
tain a license from mime legally appointed
tribunal, ami that they specify tile qnalili
cat ims requisite to ihc'obtaiuing such a li
cense. No mail slimiM be allowed lo ob
tain a license without a If-riling saiisfu-l irv
evnlenee o! go! nurd character. In die
ca-e ol religious editors, il might, perhaps,
fie well to require, that die eau Ii late pro
duce a certificate from the e mrcli in which i
lie holds his membership, ol his f.iirstaml
">g-
Legislative action, ol the character of that
we propose, would not exclude any one
limn tit - honors and emoluments of the pro-’
Cessions in question. It wo.il.i affect c'lur
nclf.ru and not individuals. It would great
ly elevate the character of the press and
render it an honor to be connected with it.
The scientific physician, and the regularly
educated lawyer, finds dint everv empiiic
in his profession abstracts from liis li itinr.su
t the mi idler ti cmm her ol unprincipled
men connected vv iih the ptess, the greater
would he the honor of being authorized,
not by a few individuals, hut by a govern
ment, to conduct it. U liat a powerful in
centive would he presented to a large e’ass
of our citizens, who are evety dev grow it g
larger, to maintain a virtuous life! and what
a salutary influence might they not semi
out to the ends of the earth !
Legislative action, like that which we
have suggested, would curtail the number
of judicial processes for libels, riots, &e.
It would leave the mouth of the press as
unmuzzled as it now is, while it would keep
out of it much nauseous and noxious mat
ter that fends to infect the whole system
and induce disease, delirium and death. It
would lend to perpetuate, rather than de
stroy its liberties; and it might be difficult
to decide which would be most benefitteil
by it, gentlemen of the type -and the quill
or dtp community at large.
Our suggestion, very likely, will pass
unheeded, Imt we are peisuailed tluil the
time will come, when the subject will force
itself upon the attention of the commuuilv
—, crimps too late—perhaps when the enn
trolling powur has aheudy passed into the
hands of the vicious.
