We published, in our issue of last week, an Essay, ou “Poets and Poetry,” from the pen of Dr. Turner, of South Carolina. Father Ryan did not see the MS. It was handed to one of the publishers of the paper, who thought it a well written article, and published it. As Scott's Monthly Magazine has not come to our office for several months, we, certainly, are not to blame if an article from its pages should be palmed off upon us as original; particularly by parties whom we would have no reason to suspect of plagiarism. Still, whatever blame is due in this in stance, must attach to the publisher, who received it, and had it inserted in the columns of the Banner. We make this statement, simply as an act of justice to Father Ryan, and not with any desire to palliate the injustice of the plagiarism. We can do no more now 7 , than to express our regret at the injustice done to Mr. J. R. Barrick, and that the Banner should be the medium through which that injustice is done. Our attention is called to this subject, by the following article, which we find in the Atlanta Constitution, of September 6th, a friend having furnished us with a copy of that journal : Shameless Plagiarism. —ln the Ban ner of the South, for September sth, ap pears a four column contribution, under the head of “Poetry and Poets, An Essay, by John M. Turner, M. D.,” of Dumbar ton, S. C., about three-fourths of which is taken, verbatim el literatim, and with out the ghost of a quotation, from an Editorial Essay, under the same head, written by J. R. Barrick, one of the edi turs of this paper, for tlio February number, 1867, of Scott's Monthly Maga zine, of which lie was then associate edi tor. The theft is so glaring, unmitigated, and impudent, that the Local of The Constitution cannot consent to let it pass unexposed. The literary productions of one’s pen are as much his property as the money in his pocket, if the poor writer is fortu nate enough to have any. They are ot far greater value than ordinary property, and however the world may value them, they are treasured in the author’s alloc tions as above the price of gold. Had the plagiarist copied the article entire, and in the order in which it originally appeared, the real author, despite the criminality of the act, might, perhaps, have taken it as a compliment. But this modern Esculapius, with a dexterously manipulated scalpel, first dissects each paragraph as carefully as he would the several muscles of the human frame, and, iu attempting to adjust them to another, makes it a monster. He would substitute the muscles of the arm for those of the leg. lie would fasten a “ horse’s neck to a human head,’ 7 or “ what is a beauti ful woman iu the upper part to au ugly fish below,” and thus, with “ pictures formed by a wild assortment ot many parts,” lie would fabricate a “ union pro ducing nothing hut what is monstrous and ridiculous.’’ With the exception of the opening and closing half column, it will he seen that the remainder of the essay’ is made up as indicated. We can employ no language to .suffi ciently characterize so palpable an out rage on the proprieties of the Press, and the requirements of common decency’. For Father Ryan, the accomplished editor of the Bannei', we have no word of cen sure for having admitted the article to the columns of his ably conducted jour nal. The original, if he ever saw it, had of course, escaped bis memory. Still, if in the mutilated form in which Dr. Tur ner presents it, the reverend gentleman has deemed it worthy to fill so large a space in his paper, it is somewhat singu lar that “Poets and Poetry,” as published in a leading Southern magazine, had es caped his critical eye. To News Dealers. —News Dealers haring copies of Nos. 16, 17, and ‘2O, of the Banner of the South, will confer a favor by returning them to this office. They will he credited in their accounts with the number they returned. To Six Months Subscribers. —With the present number, most of our six months subscribers’ terms expire. Several of them have already renewed their sub scriptions. We should be pleased to have them all do so; and hope that they will send in their names for renewal at once. Personal.— We had the pleasure, on Sunday last, of meeting with Mr. Budd, Proprietor and Editor of the Charleston (S. C.) Gazette. He has been in our city for some days, and has, we hope, found his visit both agreeable and profit able. The Gazette is one of the most valuable exchanges on our list; and its experi enced and enterprising proprietor spares neither pains nor expense to make it one of the most popular Catholic and Literary journals in this country. He has our best wishes for his success. Musical Pvblications. —We have received the September number of Peters' Musical Review, Parlor Companion, and Glee Hive. These are published monthly, by J. L. Peter, No. 198 Broad way, N. Y. The first is $2 per annum ; and the two others at $3 per annum* each. They are all handsomely printed, aud contain a very large amount of choice music, a great deal more than could pos sibly he obtained otherwise for the sam»s price. The Reciew, in addition to its musical selections, has a large quantity of inter esting reading ; the whole constituting a valuable musical library 7, which every musician would do well to have.

PATRICK’S SUNDAY SCHOOL On the attention paid to the Religious education of youth in any country, de pends principally the future prosperity of its people. It is the neglect of a good Religious training of children which causes them, in after life, to • ocomo oooupants of Peni tentiaries, or, even worse, doomed to die ou the gallows. Too many parents seem to think that it is sufficient to give their children a Secular education ; but reading, writing, Ac., Ac., are not Education, but only a part of the term. How many men of splendid intellect, and who are fully qualified to fill the highest positions in the community, are so degraded from dissipation, theft, or some other vicious habit, as to become, instead of an honor, a burthen, and a disgrace to society It is, therefore, of' the utmost import ance that Parents and Pastors should take that lively interest in the Religious education of youth which will enable them, while becoming good members of Society, to fulfill that grand and noble end for which man was created—his soul’s salvation. I have been led to these reflections by being present, on last Sunday evening at the distribution of prizes to the children of the St. Patrick’s Sunday School. The pupils, numbering (girls and boys) 400 children, assembled and took their places at 2 o’clock. The Rev. Fathers Duggan, Ryan, and O’Hara, several members of the congregation, together with the President and Teachers of the Sunday School, were {.'resent. There were three children out of each class recommended for a premium, each by their respective Teachers. In recom mending a child for a premium, the fol low 7 in" were taken into account : Attend- C ancc, conduct, and good answering, at the Annual Examination, held some two weeks since. This is, certainly, a good mode of telling a child’s deserts. Immediately before the distribution of the premiums, Father Ryan delivered a very beautiful Address to the children, pointing out to them the great necessity of acquiring a thorough knowledge of their Religion, and the many evils result ing from an ignorance of the principles of our Holy Faith. He expressed him self much pleased with the good attend ance, answering, and marked conduct of the children, exhorting them to continue in future as they have done, and that thoy could not fail to reap that reward which is in store for all good Christians. lie paid a marked tribute of respect to the President and Teachers for the zeal and energy with which they labored in such a holy and charitable work. Then commenced the distribution of prizes to the successful children; the three of each class coming forward as their names were called by the Secretary, and each receiving their prize from the hands of Father Ryan. The prizes consisted, in each case, of a beautifully hound book, suited to the capacity of the recipient. The following is a list of the children receiving prizes : GIRLS’ DEPARTMENT. FIRST DIVISION.

Next came the distribution of two prizes for good conduct, which were giver, by the worthy President to the two best conducted girls and boys of the School, and was de termined by a vote of all the children. The first prize, in the Girls’ Department, was awarded to Miss Hannorah O’Connor, and the second to Miss Agnes Ward. In the Boys’ Department, the first prize was given to Master Wm. O’Connor, and second, to Master John Bessman; and they, certainly, could not make a better selection. The first prize, in each case, con sisted of a beautiful Silver Medal, on which was a Maltese Cross and Crowt beautifully chased with a wreath around having inscribed on it, “ Reward <-/ Merit.” The second was an elegautlv bound Book. Miss Annie Galvin, behalf of the Girls, was chosen to preset the first prize, and did so in the followl ing words; Mr. President , Teachers, and Children of St. Patrick's Sunday School: l ac deputed to perform a duty as pleasing t me as any that could be conferred; and as agreeable to you, since, by unanimous consent, you have concluded that Hannah O’Connor is fully entitled to therewat j purchased (at individual cost) by our worthy and excellent President, f Gr “ Unitorm Good Conduct.” I have no hesitation iu saying, that, were he rich enough, he would have presented every girl in the School with a similar testini . nial, as he again and again lias spoken of his Sunday School as No. 1 iu moral excellence, and second to none in a know ledge of teachings of our Holy Church, As our President had but one, and oil one could receive it, we take a grateful pleasure in bestowing it on you. Re ceive, then, from my bands, as the agent of your class mates, this simple testimo nial, more honorable than the Golden Fleece, or Roman Eagle, as it is given as a reward for Christian Virtue hoping it may stimulate you in your course through life, and make other* imitate your virtues. Master A. E. Boulineau, on behalf of the boys, was chosen to present the first prize, and, in doing so, spoke a« follows ; By our worthy Sunday School Presi dent, we arc presented with two beauti ful Medals, to be given as rewards f r Good Conduct—one for the Boys aud the other for the Girls. To me has been assigned the pleasing duty of present ing one —which pleasure is more than enhanced by the consideration that the honored recipient is a member ol my own class, whence I know better than others, that a wiser selection could n t have been made. Accept, then, Win. O’Connor, with pride and joy, this little testimonial, given you by the unanimous voice of your school-mates, as a proof of possessing Christian Virtue of n high order Prize, keep, and let it be your Banner for future action, while it shall also be a means of reminding us that the same honor awaits us if we are only judged worthy. In conclusion, in behalf of my companions, we thank you. worthy Pru dent and Associate Teachers, for the in terest 3'ou have manifested in our urn fare, both spiritual and temporal. After the distribution of Prizes, th President, Mr. J. D. Kavanagh, return-] thanks to the Clergy’ and members of th Congregation, for their kindness in being present on the occasion, and gave a brief history of the working of the Sunday- School, from its organization in ISSS, when it numbered only eighty children, to the present time, when the number its rolls was over four hundred. II spoke highly of the good conduct an 1 regular attendance of the children, and returned thanks to the Teachers for tim'.r good attendance, and earnestness, vLn in the Sunday School, hoping that Pa - Parents, and Teachers, would continue their exertions in the good work tha u of such vital interest to the welfare society. The Rev. Father O’Hara came for mi i and expressed himself highly p!em-:l with the flourishing condition of the Sun day School, and that it is not inferior t any in the country. lie hoped that :■:? children would persevere in the good work, and pointed out some crr.r which children should particularly juari against. This finished the business of the lay, and it was certainly a glorious one for children of St. Patrick’s Sunday Sou : of which the Catholic Congregation Augusta have good reason to feel jryni It must be truly gratifying to the 11 v. Father Duggan, as Pastor, to witness such a grand display of the youth of he flock, and he has well deserved the ur— - fication, laboring, as he has been, aiunm them through a long number of yeirs and always exhibiting the qualitie.- of to good Catholic Priest.

Before closing these remarks, I
