Odr friend charges us with bigotry. Now we shall go to Webster who says that bigotry means "perverse or blind

attachment to a particular creed, or "to certain tenets unreasonable zeal or warmth in favor of a party, sector "opinion excessive piejudice." Because we denounce the orthodox churches lor their le usal to admit Universalists to pray with them for the evangelization of tho world, we are bigoted!

The Catholics will not, under any circuinstances, join with the orthodox Protestant churches in devotional work because the latter do not accept the doctrine ot papal infallibility and other tenets of the church of Rome. The Episcopal church declines to commune with

other

Protestant churches

bccause the latter do oot acoept the doctrine of the "apostolic succession." Now we denounco the two churches named aa narrow and illiberal in respect to the positions mentioned. Docs our friend call this bigotry If he does not, how dare he stigmatize us as "narrow minded and bigoted" because we denounce the effort of the orthodox churches to cast reproach upon their Universalist brethren by rescinding the arrangement to pray with them.

II a church has no higher mission than a political party, the latter part of our friend's article contains an argument 5 otherwise the point made is too fragile to merit consideration.

There are many creeds to satisfy men's consciences, but there is only one kind of Christianity, and that is built upon the lesson of charity taught by the humble Naztrene preacher. Those who fear that they may be contaminated by devotional contact with Christians whose doctrines differ Troin their own follow not after the Master, but rather after the Pharisee who went up to the temple and prayed, "God, I thauk thee that I wn not as jott^t men are—not as this publican

FRIEND TO MA J. SMITH.

The couree of The Mail in tho discussion of public questions has been influenced at no time by the fear of the withdrawal of any "number of its "weekly patrons." It has usually been found upon the unpopular side of issues, and it has not been moved from its position in any case by threat or denunciation. It did not hope to add to ith circulation by its remarks in reference to the treatment of the Universalists by the orthodox churches of this and the insinuation of our friend is ridiculous and unjust.' The Mail has, doubtless, fallen into many errors, but its most unreasonable critic will hardly assert that it has abjectly followed public opinion, or sought popularity by courting tho strong and abjuring the weak.

There is a grain of truth in this growl but the injustioe comes from the fact that the woman's rights ortactments have not gone far enough. They should guarantee the legal equality of the sexes. We can hardly agree with the writer that "personal correction," in the shape of the threshing and puinmeling of wives by their lordly husbands, "is the corner-stone of inarriage."

Two OR TUKKK weeks ago, we published a statement that a student ol the State University at Blootningion had been given by thefacultj' the alternative of retracting an article in the •Indiana Student criticising the system of military drill in the University, or of being expelled. We are informed that this statement was incorrect and have been furnished with the following resolution of the Faculty concerning this case for publication:

THE colored people in Madison and Macoupin counties, in Illinois, have, it is reported, made extensive preparations lor emigrating to the States bordering on the Lower Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. The emigrants are thrilty, industrious, free-born Africans, and are farmers, mechanics, and labor ers. They are going with their families to the South, intending to make that region their home. This is the advance of the movement long since predicted by The Mail—an exodus ol the blacks from the Korth and a settlement by them in the region tffcich, 'for climatic and political reasons, haw become more congenial to them. The land of cotton, su&ar and rice will soon belome the home of »11 tho blacks. i*

TAX-PAYER" argues in the columns of the Express that the Southwestern Railroad will never be able to pay dividends on stock because the Evansville A Crawfordsville Railroad has not done so. Does he intend to argue that, if the the'con8tru(»,ion of the E.-A C. Railroad had depended uporf thfe subscription of Vigo county,as the inauguration of the Southwestern depends now entirely upon the aid asked from Harrison township, that the subscription of the ciiuty should have been withheld? i'erre-Hante"would now-bean obscure county town doing all its business in a few Btores around the square, if such counsel as "Tax-payer" now gives had prevailed in the past.

A BERLIN paper, with a weakness for figures, publishes some' enrious comparisons of the condition ot EuVope at the ptesent time wilh its condition a hundred years ago. Europe now has three hundred millions of inhabitants then it had about sixty millions. The six principal Powers ot Europe now engross four-fifths of its population, as follows: Russia, 71.000 000 Germany, 40,000,000 Prance, 39.500,000: Austria, Hungary, 36,000,000 Great Britain, 32,000,000 Italy, 26,500,000. A hundred years ago tbe flee great Powers had but half the total population. This was before the partition of Poland. '7

NOT leas than three times the amount of money asked of Harrison township for the Southwestern Railroad will be expended by that corporation and by its employes in this city during the year 1872 il the subscription Is carried on the 22nd inst. The people ofTerre-Haute will not lose one 'dollar by voting for the subscription. The trade flowing In immediately from the construction of the road will reimburse the outlay, and tbe traffic of the region South-west of BI will secure to us enduring profit in tbe future.

"TAX-PAYER," in a very munificent manner, says that no one will object if tbe Southwestern Railroad corporation chooses to build a road to the Mississippi river without asking aid from the public. Here's generosity for you with but one parallel—tbe case of Artemas Ward, who believed in the vigorous prosecution of the late war erven if it took tbe blood of every one of hia wile'a relations!

Witb easy access to tbe iron mines of Missouri this placealiould become tbe iron city of the West. Numberless furnaces^ should light up the prairie during all nightH or the year. It is well for us to understand that our town may become gr at iu the future through our efforts, or it may tie nothing. The great nufauturing city of ibe West— perhaps of the continent—will be located in tbe vicinity of the Bnzil coal fi Ids. Shall we reach out an arm now toward the iron ot Missouri, or shall we sit with folded bauds while the world is a-workingt

There are sanguine citiXens who believe that Terre-Unute is destined to be a very great city, and that nothing can stop her progress. There are oth ers who do not think that everything is rose-colored iu reference to ber future. Here is rather a startling fact: In the business part of the city there are, by actual count, tliirty-three tin occupied store rooms. Does any sensible citizen think that ibe throttling of tbe Southwestern Railroad at the election on the 22nd inst. will have a tendency to fill these vacant rooms with trade

The building of the Chicago, Danville and Vincenpes Railroad through Paris, Marshall and York, is an.assured ftect. If we do not build onr Southwestern, the trade or Southern Clark and of Crawford and Jasper will go to Chicago witbiti a year. After that it will be easy tor our old fogies to count sixty-six, instead of thirty-three, vaoant store rooms.

A masterly inactivity will not win. Terre-Hmite up or Terre-Hauto down is tlie question |p which we are most interested. Our future is to be great insignificant—Influences are at work now to detide which. Enterprise and encouragement. of improvement will insure the growth and development of the town, but if the counsels off the enemies of railroads prevail, it inay be that TerrerHaute has already arrived at the zenith of her glory—at a point from which she will steadily go dowd hill.

"TAX-PAYER," the correspondent of the E^pre$s Who leads'in the opposition' to the' siubscription of Harrison township to the Southwestern Railroad, fears that the project inay be carried by ihe votes of "non tax-payers, "idlers, loafers and pimps" because The Mail ventured tbe remark that "tbe "laboring classes and the men engaged "in active trade cannot afford to op"pose this road." "Tax-payer" is a wealthy citizen be is above dependence upon his fellow men, and can afford to iiisult the "laboring classes and "men who are engaged In active trade" by alluding to them contemptuously as "non tax-payers, idlers and pittipa." This, however, has little to do Wi^h the tnertts of the railroad enterprise referred to. J1 1 11

THE Brazil Mlm»r,replylngtoan artiole in The Mail, makes this argument: "The common schools are an essential "part of free government to compel a •'minority of the children to do what "the majority do willingly (go to "school) cannot be regarded as oppression." Now what does otfr friend of the Miner aay to this argument: Newspapers are an essential part of free government to compel a minority of the people to do vt bat the majority do willingly (read newspapers) cannot be regarded as oppression. $

THE dodge of oandidbtee for State offlcdi writing to and assuring all persons whose names can be procurred that the latter are well known em loading and very Influential party men Ifi the State and beseeching their Influence, is not very thick. However, a few leading constables and cross-roads politicians may be made happy hi the faith that they have become famous, and that (he £taie connot very well get along without them.

OCT of tbe rivalry of two very bad men for tbe preference of a oommon strumpet grew a state of affairs which paused the murder of one man by the other. This is all there is of the Fisk-Stokes-Manafield trag^dv.

He does not mention greenbacks or negroea,notwitb8tanding which he would make us believe that Democracy is tbe same "yoaterday, to day and forever."

WILL "Tax-payer" read the address signed by one hnndred and forty-one business houses of this city, printed in another column, and ascertain if be is still of the opiulon that there is danger of tbe subscription lor tbe Southwestern Railroad being carried by the votes of "non tax-payers, ullurs, loafers and "pimps

JUDGE STRICKLAND, of the Utah U. S. Court, says that "blood atonement— "the killing of anupo tate by a Mor"mon to save his soul—4s murder." The Judge Is right. This practice of the Saints cannot be too strongly condemned. It is impropor and unkind,to say tbe least.

NEW MEXICO, imitating old Mexico and Louisiana, haa got up a little anarchy of her own.

itftECOJ*L ECTIONS OF JENNY LINQ. Jenny Lind made her appearance in Copenhagen as Alice, in "Itybert le Dibble." It was like a new revelation, in the realms of art the youthful fresh voice forced, itself into every heart hererei.ned truth and nature everything was full ol' meaning and intelligence. Jenny Lind va's the first singer to whom the D.inish students gave a serenade tounubes glazed around the hospitable villa where the serenade wag given ,she expressed her thanks.by ag-iin singing »ine Sweedish songs, aud I then saw hen hasten into tbe darkest cornet and,weep for emotion. "Yes, yes,?'said ahe, "I will exert myself *1 will endeavor I will be better qualified than I am whenl again come to Copenhagen."

On the stage she was the great artist' who rose above all those'around her at home, in her own chamber, a sensitive young girl, with, all tbe humility andpiety ora child. "There will not in a wbole century," said Mendelssohn, speaking to me of Jenny Lind, "be born another being so gifted as she jyid his words expressed my conviction.

A noble pl6us disposition like hers cannot be spoiled by homage. On one' occasion only did I hear her express ber joy in her talent and her self consciousness. It was during her lasf residence in Copenhagen. Almost every evening she appeared either In opera or at concerts every houi-was in requisition. She heard of a society, the object of which was to assist unfortunate children, and to take them out of tbe hands of their parents, by whom they were misused and compelled either to beg or steal, and to place them in other ana better circumstances. Benevolent people subscribed annually a small sum each for their support nevertheless the meinsfor this excellent purpose were small.

But have I not still a disengaged evening?" said she "let tne give a 'night's performance for tbe benefit of these poor children but we will have double pricea!"

Such a performance was given, and returned large proceeds. When she was informed of this, and tb*t by this means a number of poor children would be benefited for several years, her countenance beamed and tears filled ber eyes.

Is It not beautiful," said abe, "that I can sing so?" Through her first became sensible of the holiness there is in art through her I learned that one must forget one's self in the service oft he Supreme. No books, no men have had a better or more ennobling influence upon me as the poet than Jenny Lind.-—{Hans Christian Anderson's "Story of My Life." iiwm\
