But the species of religion admired and cultivated in North Carolina, and especially in Rogersville, Tenn.,--where the sweet-souled Colonel Netherland. gave his negro that beautiful basting behind the church, which, through these columns, has passed into history — this species is one which Father Ludovico does not appear to fancy.

And what Father Ludovico is doing, the Abbe Olivieri is also doing at Naples, for the negresses, so that when Africa is christianized, it seems highly probable that it will be done rather after the fashion of Rome, than the fashion of Rogersville, in the State of Tennessee. We know that it is exceedingly wrong, although not quite so unpopular as it was two or three years ago, to say one word in praise of the Roman Church, or in extenuation of its alleged errors.

We know that it is exceedingly wrong, although not quite so unpopular as it was two or three years ago, to say one word in praise of the Roman Church, or in extenuation of its alleged errors. But, whatever may be urged against it, nobody can dispute its boldness, and activity, and far-reaching sagacity. In the enterprise under consideration, we have another added to innumerable previous instances of its faith in human culture; a faith transcending the most recondite speculations

our religious contemporary, The North Carolina Presbyterian, asking the masters of that State why, in the name of common sense and the very cheapest economy, they do not stir up a revival; because, as The Presbyterian justly observes, The market-value of a pious slave is greater than that of an impious one, while a lively faith improves his personal appearance --plerophory being followed by pingniosity, and solemnity by sleekness. But the species of religion admired and cultivated in North Carolina, and especially in Rogersville, Tenn.,--where the sweet-souled Colonel Netherland. gave his negro that beautiful basting behind the church, which, through these columns, has passed into history — this species is one which Father Ludovico does not appear to fancy.

We hope the Presbyterian Church South, and all other Southern churches, will duly consider the example offered by the Babylonian dame. Fas est ab hoste doceri--it is just the thing to be taught by an opponent. We can imagine the surprise, and even the consternation, which would ensue, if the population of the quarter-houses should be summoned by the overseer — this one to receive a French grammar, and that, Lindley Murray, and the other, Malte-Brun. We would not plunge into the middle of things in such a reckless way, but would set out with due simplicity, with primers and pictures, and good serviceable horn-books. But, interpose the Patriarchs, teach them their letters, and they will all run away! Well, if fit to run away, able to run away, and desirous of running away, why should they not run away?

Father Ludovico's fancy. the Popes of Rome have accomplished some very tough and apparently hopeless work in their day; Naples. For there is in that charming city a certain Father Ludovico, a monk, who is highly zealous and particularly interehiopia — it never having been the luck of the weak-minded Ludovico, to peruse those overwhelming ethnologico-theological exes, has passed into history — this species is one which Father Ludovico does not appear to fancy.

He knows that the heads are rather hard, but he feels perfectly satisfied that if he can get anything into them, it will have small chance of getting out again. So Father Ludovico goes cheerfully to work with his black possibilities. He teaches them Latin, Italian, French and Arabic, adding to this polyglot process, instruction in geography, arithmetic, physics, chemistry and elementary geometry. Having thus trained these animals in secular accomplishments, he adds to their stock of knowledge the doctrine of the Catholic Church, and sends them home to Christianize Africa. And very successful is the Father Ludovico with his animals, in spite of their facial angles and bone-bound brains. At a recent exhibition of the cultivated beasts, everybody was
