VOL. VI.	B E T H A N Y, VA., JANUARY, 1849.	NO. I.

      LAST volume, page 647, eight lines from bottom, for Loch Lomond, 30 miles long and 8 broad, read Loch Ullswater, 9 miles long and one broad. By some inexplicable casualty, in our Letter No. 33, from Europe, Loch Lomond is read twice in one sentence, placing two Loch Lomonds in one and the same island. A very singular kind of sportive typography. Our friend, Mr. Sands, of the Religious Herald, Richmond, Va., I am told, has displayed great geographical learning in detecting and exposing our ignorance of English geography. I seldom read or even scan the outlines of his paper--never having seen in it a truthful or candid exposition of anything connected with myself or the cause I plead.

      He undertook, some months since, to expose our ignorance of the statistics of the Glasgow population. In this case, also, he has only exposed his own want of good taste and accurate knowledge. So great has been the increase of population in Glasgow, as I was informed on the ground, that it had increased some forty thousand beyond its last published census. I presume Mr. Sands had seen in some old almanac the population that he gave, but we are on this subject better advised than either himself or the almanac or tablet from which he presumes to correct our errors. In this snarlish mood, my friend Sands but shows his teeth; and after all that can be said in their praise, they are rather scant and stubby.
