PROGRESS OF INTELLIGENoE IN INDIA -
The distinguished Bishop Wilson, after |
residence of some twelve or fourteen years
IN India, says in q late communication, 81
may truly say, that the fields in India are
"white already for the harvest' Nothing
has, believe, been seen like il since the
days Of the apostolic Schwartz, and perhaps
not then nor any thing approachingt A, /,
outburst OF the native mind seems at banf /
The diffusion of education, the strikir Q
benefits OF European medical science, Il ,e
openings OF an exhaustless commerce on all
hands, the scarcely ascertained riches Of
the soil, the extent and magnifcence Of the
rivers and mines, the superb harbors in
denting its almost intermnable coasts, the
rapid increase Of settlers from Great Britain
and America, the security of person aid
property, the unsullied purity Of our jrlr1s-
prudence, the number Of Offices thrown
open to native merit, the railroads comp e'ted
and almost begun, and the incredible raj i'd
ity OF communication BY steam, untin the
whole world as it were, into one vast
family, are bringing on crisis ia the native
mind most favorable to the introduc ti,on Of
Christianity"


EDIToRIAL ABILITY Newspap' II writ
ing has grown to be an art by itself. MANY
a literary man who thought bee ause the
Ngreater includes the less,'' every author is
er oGeio qualified to be an editor, has sunk
back into the rear ranks and mirror places
of the press, after some smart writing had
shown his bookish talent and his inability
to deal with facts. Others, who, could pour
forth volumes, have failed, because they
could not cope with the hydrar llic pressure
or prompt selection Of salient p oints needed
Tor the space and rapid CONN lents Of the
Journal Take the best paper of London
or Paris, different as the circ umstances of
the case may be, and you mu st allow that
1t is not every BOBBY that CO, lid seize the
moral and spirit Of passing history. The
same may be said with equal ustice of the
American press. People of some little
talent fancy that they can edit newspaper,
II they can do nothing else, but they even
tually Ind their mistake Not only in in
tellect, but knowledge Of the world, misce-
laneous information, tact, industry, rapidty
OF thought, a nervous style, and capacity
at once to catch the strong and weak points
OF every subject, are required for good
editor.-London Speciator.
