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. Clr r k of lhe Association.. J 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.
