We shall be a mui of jarring. warring, dexnoralvxed, without power at home, or respectability abroad, and, like the Republic of Mexico and Sooth America, we will drift away on ft shoreless and ensanguined aea oi civu eommotion, from which, if the teachings of history are to be trusted, we shall be finally rescued by the iron hand of some military, wrecker, who will coin the sbat tared elements of our greatness and of on strength into a diadem and a throne. Said M. Fould, the great French statesman, t an American citizen, a few weeks since: "Your Bepublio is dead, and it is probably the last the world will ever see. Yot will bare a reign of terrorism, and after k.t twn n tltraa monarchies." . All tLi may be Terified, should this revolution oue ceea. . , , . .

If this banner, the emblem for us of all that is grand in human history, and of all that is transporting in human hope, is to be sacrificed on the altars of a satanic ambition, and thus disappear forever amid the night and tempest of revolution, theu will I feel and who shall estimate the desolation of that feeling that the sun has indeed been stricken from the sky of our lives, and that henceforth we shall be but wanderers and outcasts, with nought but the bread o sorrow and of penury for our lips, and with hands ever outstretched in febleuess and supplication, on which, in any hour, a military tyrant may rivit the fetters of a despairing bondage. May God in his infinite mercy save you and me, ana tbe land we t so much love, from the doom of such a degradation. No contest so momentous as this has arisen I in human history, for, amid all the conflicts 1 of men and of nations, the life of no such government as ours has ever been at stake. ' Our fathers won our independence by tbe : blood and sacrifice of a seven years war, we have maintained it against the a"i" "-i" taph of suicide written upon our tomb. The ordeal through which .we are pissing must involve immense suffering an J losses j for us all, but the expenditure of not merely hundreds of millions, but of billions of. treasure will be made, if the result shall be the preservation of our institutions. , Could my voice reach ever? dwelling in Kentucky, I would implore its inmates if , they would not have the rivers of their pros-, peniynnnjk nway s do unfed streams be-; neath the summer heats to rouse thero selres from their lethargy, and fly to tbe rescue of their country before it is everlastingly too late. Man should appeal to man, and neighborhood to neighborhood, until the electric fires of patriotism shall flash from heart to heart in one unbroken current throughout the land. It is a time in which the workshop, the office, the counting-house and the field may well be abandoned for the solemn, duty that is upon us, for all the toils will but bring treasure, not for ourselves, but for thespoiler, if this revolution is not arrested. We are all, with our every earthly interest, embarked in mid ocean on the same commoa deck. Tbe howl of the storm is in our ears, and "the lightning's red glare is painting bell on the sky," and while the noble ship pitches and rolls under the lashings of the waves, the cry ia heard that she has sprung aleak at many points, and that the rushing v aters are mounting rapidly in the hold. The man who, in such an hour, will not work at the pumps, is cither a maniac or a monster. Sincerely yours, J. Holt. eat orPnbllc I"ntrnctlu. OFFICE OF SUPERINTKNDENT, , Lttdluiafolis, June 12th, 1861. To the County Auditors and Treasurers: Gsbtuiik In the report of the apportionment of the school revenne, made by tbe Superintendent of Public Instruction on the 1st inst., tbe counties are not credited with the amount of delinquent school tax paid in at the last October settlement. Even though nis naa Deen included, tbe auditor could not hare drawn his warrant for the amount. There was no money in the State Treasury, when the present incumbent assumed the duties of his office.' The embezzlement bill makes it a penal offense for the Auditor draw a warrant for the payment of any money, waless there is in the treasury money belonging to that particular fund. If sueh a warrant was issued, and the Tressuret was to pay it, he suffers the same pen alty, xlenoe, as the Legislature made no appropriation to pay back this large delinquent school revenue, it cannot be included , m m ppoi-uonmeus mi specino appropriation is made for its repayment, which will doabtlees be at its next session. .

State War Loan. Attention is called to the advertisement of the Loan Commissioners of our State in another column. In accordance with the statute creating the loan, they offer about two huodied thousand dollars of it, in small Bums to citizens of the State, to be nego tiated at home. It will be observed that the bonds bear an interest of six per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually, in New York City, for which interest coupons are attached to the bonds. A special tax is established to provide for the payment of the interest and liquidation of the principal at the expiration ot the twenty years for which they run. Those proposing to bid uiarlced on the outside, "Proposals for Loan." There is considerable capital in our city and surrounding country, which could be profitably placed in these bonds. They offer a safe and remuuexative investment to all who do not wish to use their means actively. No tetter security has ever been placed npon the market. It is desirable that citizens of the State shall respond to the call of the Legislature cheerfully and propmptly and take the small portion allotted to them. This will inspire additional confidence in the bonds in a distant market, and doubtless enable the Commission ers to negotiate the residue on better terms, j We trust that those of our citizens who! have unemployed meaus will look into this j matter and invest in our own State bonds Active Meryiee-rlnillanR "In."

An attempt was made by the convicts, in the Penitentiary to ascape at Jefferson City, but failed one convict was killed and two wouudeded by the U. S. troops, who were promptly on the ground. Montgomery, with several hundred mounted men, will at once lake position on tbe Kansas side of the Missouri line, ready to meet Gov. Jackson's forces whenever they make a movement from Independence toward Kansas City. The militia and volunteer companies, numbering several thousand, are ready to march to the border as soon as orders are given. Another tragedy occurred in St. Louis, on 17th. Whilst the U.

In tho accomplishment of this purpose they solicit the co-operation of the ladies throughout ihe State, and as far as practicable will send samples of the articles to the different points in the State from which soldiers have gone. As there is no doobt that the article in question will promote the comfort of the soldiers, the ladies of Indianapolis trust that this appeal will meet a ready response, and ihey respectfully request those who may be disposed to aid this object to send their packages of manufactured articles to J.

To these questions involving the real issue, Mr. V. paid no attention, but endeavored to divert tho mind to minor considerations. Many quotations were introduced involving the Bible doctrine of hell, but as these had no bearing upon the duration of punishinent, no notice need be taken of them. We presented eleven negative arguments against the doctrine of endless punishment, of which we can only make the following brief mention: 1st. Upon the Love of God. That the government of God is a government of love. That all its laws emanate from this principle, and are executed in accordance with its dictates. That there is not a law laid down, not a penalty denounced, nor a threatening uttered, that is Cot in harmony with the truth that "God is love." That all those passages which speak of punishment, of retribution and judgment, must be ex- ! plained in the light oi God s love. Hence his punishments and judgments are the inflictions of a beioc of love, and therefore cannot ba endless! 2. Thit tbe doctrine cannot be true from the fct that God will "reward every man according to his works." The following testimonies upon the subject were adduced Eccles. xii. 14; Lara. iii. 64; Col iii 52 Cor. v. 10. That if the character' sustained at death fixes the immortal destinv of an individual, then there can be no such reward m the future state. 3. Founded npon the nromise tr ham. Gen. xxii. 15-18; Gen. xxvL 3- Gen xxviii. 12-18. That this promise wa's on-1 conditional so far as man is concerned beintr a promise in Christ.

That for four thrrusand years in a world's nistory tais doctrine was not reveaaled! That the cases of Adam, Cain, the Antediluvians or rtodomites do not involve the doctrine. That this fact is conceded by eminent Commentators, among whom are Dr. YFhttbr. Dr. Payley, Bishop Warburton and Dr. Geo. Campbell. 5.

John S. Bobbs, Calvin Fletcher. Esq., Hon. T. H. Nelson, Hon. W. McKee Dunn, and Hon. D. Kilgore.1 We Talue tbe approval of our friends higulv. but cannot accept it without rendering iu atice to others where justice is due. Jsnainr Lane and Hon. A. G.- Porter are also at Washington before thi time in the simedutv. ... - - - The authority to our six regiments cf three months soldiers to serve during the war, which, after several declinations, was finally obtained thanks O the President himself, who from the first felt interested in carrying oat the wishes of our Statedoes not bind any officer or private. Those who do not choosa to extend their term of enlistment will retire aod their places will be filled by recruits. Thoee who go on to the end of the war. which Gen. Scott fixes at not later thsn Februsiy. will receire a boanty of $100 cash, besides their pay, and the bounty land that win undoubtedly be voted them by Congreas. . . , The anxiety of our soldiers to be ordered in some direction, where they could strike a blow for the Union in whose service they had enlisted, was really irrepressible, and was increased by the fact that the volunteers from nearly every other Stata besides ours had this opportunity. At their urgent re 3uest, we laid their wishes before the Prcsi ent, the Secretary of War and Gen. Scott, and stated as they instructed us, that all six regiments preferred to go to Western VirVirginia rather than Cairo. It was found impossible to take them all for that service, as there were so many regiments in camp near by. We then asked for two regiments, leaving the Government to pick whichever they pleased; but General Scott finally authorised three, and CoL Du moot's. Col. Crittenden's and Col. Mtlroy's (the last from this District and vicinity) were taken. They left Indianapolis, happy at the opportunity of serving their country, and the regiments they left behind were the unhappiest people around that city. It was not our fault that all were not taken. Stale Taxes. The Legislature at its regular and special sessions, affixed the amount of current taxes as follows: 1. For State purposes, according to see tion 1 of the revenue act, approved March 9. 1861.15 cents on each 8100. and 50 cents on each poll. , 2. For State debt Sinking Fund, pursuant to section 1 of an act approved March 9, 1861, 2 cent 8 on each $ 10O. 3. For military debt Sinking Fund, pursuant to section 5 of an . act approved May 13, 1861, 5 ceuts on each $100. 4. For common school purposes, agreeably to section 2 of an act approved March 9,1861, 10 cents on each $100, and 50 cents on each poll. This makes an aggregate of 32 cents on poll for State purposes. In I860 tho levy for general purposes was 20 cents 5 cents more than it is this year. The Military Debt linking band makes the aggregate just the same as it was last year. THE AnEUIClK CVfOV.

Tiis Euty oif Scoia. One of ihe first acts of Congress, at iu approaching session. ought to be to consider the propriety , of aamitung sugar duty tree, under the exijjiing arrangement, we are actually affording mid and comfort to tbe rebels, by protecting their sugar by a duty of J cent per pound ou raw, and 2 cents on refined sugar. '. As far as Louisiana sugar is used at the North, it mutt be paid for 10 gold, and thus we are as hiating our enemies 10 the most effective manner; whereas the sugar we . got from Havana, we can pay for. to a great extent, with graia and treaJituffs. As revenue is very necessary at the present moment, the deficiency in sugar caa , be made op by smaller duties on tea and coffee. This matter will be undoubtedly urged in Congress. At its last session the measure was very near becoming a law, but Louisiana was not then ia arms against ns, and. Congress was irMiiHposeo. to any unfriendly act. Times are changed now, and we need have no delicacy towards a Sta'e which is sending out pirates agamti our commerce. , m ---nasn aalnsasi ansa When the disunion leaders in Memphis find the r-pirit of their friends flagging, they manage to get a telegraphic report of a great victory of the Confederate troops.
