We give below a letter received | from a very highly esteemed friend j upon tho above subject. While not attacking his vlows, which will cor respond with those commonly enter-' tallied by our people, yet we think that there are two sides to every ques tion, and this one is not exceptional. Wo are strongly of the opinion that no confined rules, not found specifi cally stated in the Bible, can apply to all alike. In the inscrutable wis dom of tho Creator, He has estab lished such a variety in the mental calibre of flic human race as to make each individual different from the others, and lienee the. necessity of differences of creed and sect. We find, also, that climates have a very considerable effect upon the human family,mentally as well as physically. Until the millenium these discrepan cies will continue to exist. Pious people in New England prepared the “blue laws,” and in their conscien tious efforts to obey these laws t hey trampled, as fanatics, upon the rights of the family, and rendered those of society too circumscribed for happi ness. Again, it is notoriously true that people interpret tin- Bible dif ferently ; just, for instance, as did the great reformers themselves. Luther did not, in all respects, coincide with Galvin, or John Knox with Luther. Hence, nearly all countries differ; pructieully in the observance of the j command, “Thou slialt keep the Sale j bath day holy.” If our correspond ! ent is right, wo must condemn, per- \ haps, the majority of Christians, for ' they differ with him. In Germany, I people conscientiously perform what i they esteem their duties in the ob servance of.the Sabbath, and then re pair with their families to some cool, shady park or garden, where all na ture soems to rejoice with them in this day of rest. Little children play in innocent freedom; mothers talk with fathers, husbands with wives, and if occasionally the orchestra dis courses sweot music it but refines the thoughts of these work-people, who liavo no other mode of enjoyment. In Franco, as in Italy and in all Catho lic countries, the day seems one of levity to tho Protestant, for whether in the Garden of the Tuillories or the hundreds of little parks like that, at tho I’alais Itoyal, or in the Bois do Boulogne—where art strives to rival naturo—or at Royal Ver sailles with its wonderful palace and parksaud fountains all isdelightful, gay and beautiful in the extreme. We could not say that they are right, but it seems presumptious to say that they are wrong. Their natures are not like our natures, and centuries of customs like these have, perhaps, ed ucated their conscience. Yet go to tho house of worship, during the week or on Sunday, and tho cathedrals are crowded often with devoted worship pers. Tho flsherwomon drop their baskets to repair to worship. And in all these gay crowds on Sunday, in a town boasting nearly twice tho pop ulation of Georgia, a drunken man is rarely seen, and disorderly conduct j is not visible. The tailor, who has been sitting down all the week, the j mason, the mechanic, the day la borer, all take Sunday for rest and a re-ereation. Perhaps they are wrong, but we have often debated tho ques tion witli ourself while strolling at Fontninoblean or St. Cloud, or at the j Belvedere in Dresden, and a hundred other charming places where these same family scenes, enlivened by music from a skillful orchestra, would i meet our eye. Our friend is wrong in thinking that these people lose theji confidence of tho community by such iudulgenoo. They constitute tho com munity. But wo think that ho is right so far as our community is con cerned. Educated as we have been, it would tie wrong for us to adopt the customs of those densely peopled cities or countries of the old world. Neither have we the necessary acces sories here with regard to population or parks or public music to make it desirable. While we would not change prevalent customs we do not j endorse attacks upon customs that, to our humble judgment, sccin ap propriate where t hey oxisf. A sacred concert often carries the heart in si lent worship Heavenwards, and is in itself an impressive sermon. Mr**r*. Editor* : Will you admit a letter of one of your readers and well-wishers? I read a few days ago in the New Orleans bulletin Blotter from a correspondent in Germany,! describing a visit to a Beer Garden on j Sunday afternoon. Is it best to see! continually only one stile of any question in a secular newspaper, especially when that side attacks the truth? I do not think it comports with the mission of journalism to; practically suppress what u large number of its subscribers esteem to j bo truth and that phase of truth wijich will interest so many. Are— viierof God’s law may say witty j tilings which are not. true. Is flic Bible God’s book ? Decide it. If admitted, its injunctions and prohibi tions are wise, good and authorita tive; then the question is what does it teach? Can you toll why men and women who frequent such places and j engage in these amusements at once j lose their hold on the confidence of j the community for devotion and trust j in Divine interposition? I think, on j reflection, it will lie perceived to be an inherent incongruity. The religion of the Bible is not a j sentiment, nor are its principles and j prohibitions abstract truths, nor are ! its principles mere arbitrary and j onerous enactments. Men often choose to forget, that all that is really fundamental of tho framework of civil law, is taken from tins Book. \ Take a map and select the most civil- 1 ized and prosperous people, and you j will find that their lives and laws are conformed to the .teachings of the Christian religion. Why is this? Simply because they most nearly con- j form to the teachings of Him who! gives us His law as a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. It is easy to ! make statements which no sensible i man can deny, or suppose characters that can not be opposed, and give them ns the views of others—but | quite another to set aside the eonvic-' tion of earnest minds and the teach- j ings of ages past. Respectfully, Alaham i. • ♦ • Jin lliiuki-r Take* u *li> at Mlti-raiaii. [Golden City (L. I.) Cor. N. Y. Times.) Major-General Joseph Hooker, bet ter known as "Fighting Joe,” of the Twentieth Army Corps, is residing for tho good of his health in this sub urban city. He came here last No vember for “elhow room,” he says, and fresh air, and having found both, is in no hurry to leave. Your eorres-; purulent called on him yesterday and i found him hale and hearty. He still suffers from the stroke of paralysis which so seriously affected his right side, but, as he says himself, that does not matter so much while he] can eat, sleep and enjoy as good health as lie new does, He is ever ready to talk of the “dark days” and and the boys in blue, whom, he says, ho prizes more than all other people on earth; and lie recalled with en thusiasm to-day the memories ot some of his comrades sleeping down in Lookout Valley. Upon the intro duction of tho subject of Sherman’s Memoirs, lie changed Ids tone, and gravely condemned the manner in which some of tho country’s best Generals had been spoken of in them. Said ho: “1 had rather be among those maliguoil by the Memoirs than among those oommendeil.” In his esteem Oenentl Thomas was the great. Ueneral of tho army, Sherman’s superior as a soldier in every sense. Farragut was the hero of the war. He then made the following criti cism of the Memoirs and their au thor: “t have no objection in the world to stating to you briefly my opinion in regard to the extraordi nary publication of General Sher man’s Memoirs, f think it is the first instance recorded where a comman der casts aspersions in this manner on his whole command. 1 have no taste for responding to General Sher man’s slanders, but may do so, nev ertheless, at tho proper lime. Indeed, my own command almost requires this of me, and I shall not shrink from tho responsibility, no matter whether these slanders emanate from tho Commander of the Army or any other functionary of the Government. I feel indignant at the desecration of the honored names of Thomas, Far ragut, McPherson, and a host of ot h ers I might mention. Ido not envy the man who had it in his rrrrtnro to do so, as it seems General Sherman had. His march to the sea, in my judgment, is not properly understood yet. Furragut’s conception and ex ecution of the great capture of the Lower Mississippi had much more influence on tho close of the war than anything that General Sherman’s army did. But people must not lie surprised at his slopping over, for he has been doing this all his life. This is enough, I trust, to give the people an index of my opinion of the Me moirs and their author. Apparently he is impatient for advancement, when, I think, he should be well sat isfied with what he lias already ob tained. He made war like a brigand, while many other Generals never forgot that they were making war on their own countrymen. General Grant learned the character of his Lieutenant long before tho war was ended, and now, if Sherman is ignor ed by tlie Administration, lie can on ly thank himself for it. The march to tho sea up to Atlanta was well done, but beyond that the enemy dis appeared from Sherman’s armv and followed Thomas, who demolished them at Nashville. It is ridiculous to talk of Sherman’s having ended the war, put up the price of gold, or taken Kiehmond. lie had no more to do with any of these than the man in the moon. He did, however, leave a black streak in his rear, for which, no doubt, some of his countrymen justified him. I think, however, that it will, some time or other, be considered disgraceful by the great Christian world. When the press re covers from tho shock it and the country received on the appearance of the ‘Memoirs.’ I take it for grant ed that it will show less indulgence 1 | and leniency towards the author than it has done thus far. It appears to have been appalled, like all others, by the magnitude of iho outrage per petrated on those whom the Nation honors us its best defenders, and who, being dead, are silent.” • Kvtract* fi-ni a Journal. A Title TO VESUVIUS. We refuse the horses and t lie solici tations of numerous guides and the Lazaronl followers. Selecting one stout guide, who spoke only Italian and a little bad French, wo start from tlie baso of the mountain. It is a long journey, but wo have the will to walk it. As we go upward, ponies clatter up with their riders, each per ! son followed by a troop of Lazaroni following either at the side of the ponies or holding to tho tails of the stunted animals. They pass us. We leave the road ami take a more direct route; this route leads over the lava, regions. We are surprised to see how rich is the cultivated side of tho lower ! parts of the mountain, where the vineyards flourish. There, also, the mountain plants are in their vigor and the grass is luxuriant. I am as tonished upon one of these sections at the direct, contrast the dark black border, which speaks to vegetation tho command, “thus fur shalt thou come and no farther”; above, a wide, black, cheerless desert winds its way upon the mountain sides; below, the luxuriance of the vine and green grass. I liavo never seen any thing like this lava region before. [ It seems a dormant mass of iron. < The huge lava rolls, which seem slum- j boring ere they make another effort,j like a sleeping destroyer; the rolls lap over each other and join, while an open abyss yawns, with its rent sides and hot breath. We pass the first line the lava of 185 k still lying as then, and still warm, as if its fiend ish work was hardly finished. The j lava assumes a varied character. There Again are the huge, dark river-! courses of lava, with.its narrow val- j leys filled with a thick white sheet of purest snow! Contrasts meet eon-, trusts, and we wonder what will be j the next proof of tho greatness of the Creator. As we go higher our guide ; points out to us the course of the last.! lava flow, which filled lip the carriage way leading to the Hermitage of St. Salvador. To the right is a small, yellowish clump, which is sulphur. Tlie luva around us now is of a dirty : hue, soft, and broken into small par ticles; while still at a distance rolls the black, quiescent mass. The Her mitage is half-way up the mountain. The Conservatory, where the plants of Vesuvius are collected, is not far distant. The walls of this eonserva- J tor> are of native lava; the huge rocks which rise at its side are also lava; and the very building seems chiefly lava. Wo are surrounded by vast fields of this metal, (VeuJ'er. The first lava is the Aire diva, which bears all before it; tho second is a softer and morel sinuous metal, which fills tlie crevices; whilethestorm of cinders, ashes, etc., finish the singular conglomeration which we find ot I’ompeii. THE ASCENT OF THE CONK. At its base one finds a field ot sand and pebbles; if lava was ever here none knew it. Ladies are carried up in chairs borne by men; it is almost precipitous. We go up step by step, fragments of lava, like grouping ! rocks, are our stepping stones. Final ! lv we reach the summit, and sink ex ! Imitated behind a heavy rock, which ! shields us from the furious wind j which is over present here. This ! wind blows in every direction the sul ! phurous smoke. Whence comes the ! smoke? From out crevices anil little | craters which dot the summit of Vo | suvius. We rise, and gaining the top ! most peak, stand and gaze upon this scene one of Earth’s greatest won ders. We see the very lava streams | which burned Pompeii two thousand j years ago. It was belched forth from the opposite Cone, very similar to this one, but is now inactive. The roofless city that lies there in the val ley below artistic Pompeii is a per manent landmark to the dreadful eruption which buried it in the year ’79. Here in the midst of desolation in the wierd track of Vulcan- -the eye sweeps over the country below. Na ples and its charming campagaa; eampagna which is “the image of the human passions, sulphurous and feconde, its dangers and its pleas ures, seem born of the flaming volca noes which give to the air so many charms, and makes to rumble the thunder heath our feet.” ) The beautiful blue sea with its ! "blue grottoes,” and the crescent shaped buy Bnin, Barro. Portiei, | Nola, and other charming towns dot the landscape; but a dark and omi nous line, which winds its tortuous way down the valley, is tho lava col umn that stormed and buried a little town in 1859. Now the third and brightest con trast presents itself the Appenines are opposite, their peaks covered j with snow. Beautiful! beautiful! As we approach tlie Cone, we take | the last pause. Here we are in the I midst of the lava—its course is not ! that, of other liquids—the valleys are ] often surrounded by high lava waves which are powerless to fill them up. 'as would seem the natural bent; too heavy and too sweeping alike, the burning metal formed its only obsta cle, and seems to have suddenly weld ed together- a compact mass in some places, a chaotic cluster of hot, yawn ing fissures in others. Tlie crater it self lies before and beneath us. A short time ago it was violent; now it is quiet, except here and there smoke issues from a yawning fissure. Pal mer banters me to venture in it, and !we go into the very heart of it. The smoke nearly blinds, and the sulphur nearly suffocates. Its yellow bed, cracked with fissures, caused by sub terranean beat, is u bed of sulphur. We walked across it. now leaping from jetting lava rock to another, now crossing a fissure, under which, ! like a demon, heat seems to be seeth- I ing. We re-aseend, and walk around | tho summit to take a roup il'oril from tlie other side. Beneatli us hangs a white, cirrous cloud, floating peace fully under this awful, elevated Gulf. Tlie cloud somewhat obscures the views of Pompeii. Wo return, enter one of the small and now quiet cra ters and rest. A lazaroni, with his basket, offers wine and eggs; we buy a bottle of “ l.ru bryiuiv f'liri*hv" wine, a piece of broad from the Hermitage, and then place a couple of eggs in one of the fissures of the volcano, whence we draw it at the expiration of three minutes thoroughly cooked! After resting a while, with a wave of our hats to tlie ladies in chairs, we go down the Cone. “One time and two motions," and self-propelled, uf ter once starting, so precipitous is it, and so yielding the ashy ground, that we reach the foot of the Cone in five minutes. It required a half-hour to ascend it. i.int or lkttehn Roma!uluk in the Pout-Office at Columbus, (la., { June 6th, 1873, amt which if not called for j within woven day* will he wont to the Dead Letter Offlcc: Austin mrs M Johnson Thomas Api ile h> mis* F.
