The Bible.

--The bible societies in the Southern States collected last year a sum largely over $100,000, of which about $70,000 were remitted to the society at New York, partly in donations for the foreign work, but mostly in payment for Bibles and Testaments. This indicates the existence of a machinery, which may soon be brought to work efficiently, in the shape of an independent Bible Society for the Confederate States. Southern Christianity has too long worn trammels and walked in leading strings.
