GENTLEMEN: Suffer me through your columns to correct some interpretations, recently published in your paper in reference to the operations of the American Sunday School Union.

 An extract from the Presbyterian, "a paper falsely asserted to be "pubshed under the care and direc- ton of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church" has been copied in recent number of the lntellgencer, simply stating, in reference to the terprise of the American Sunday School Union for establishing Schools throughout the Valley of Mis- sssippi, that the astyear," e the year preceding May 1st, 1881 J had been chiefly expended in ex- ploring and other incpient operations" Hence the strange inference is made that the whole amount of money expended, about $38 000, has been paid for tauern bills and stage hire and not School es- tablished."

Union. One of these Agents is known to the writer, who will ever esteem it one of his greatest pleasures, to have been successful in organizing during the year at least 20 Schools for nstructng the youth and children of this State, in those duties and truths which taught in the sacred Scriptures. w.

 P. s. We trust it will not be unnoticed by your readers that, instead ofthe statement that not a School has been established the truth is, that hun dreds have been formed in the single State of Ala
