We would respectfully call your attentiou to the following facts and suggestions:We have in our midst a largo and rapidly-increasing German population. Many of them have had the advantage of a liberal educaliou in their father-land, and they desire that their sons should be educated in the land of their adoption. They have come among us, not to Germanise America, hut to become Americanized Germans; and while they retain their attachment to their mother tongue, they are anxious that their children should receive an American education. This is especially true of the Protestant Germans. That the Germans in our country will make provision for the education of their sons in German, ashave made suitable arrangements to supply his present position as editor of the Christian Apologist, etc.,at Cincinnati. The Trustees also elected Kev. Joseph Tarkington agent for the sale of scholarships and the collection ot funds for the endowment of said professorship.For further information, we would refer those interested to Rev. L. W.

They will have the advantage of associating with American youth, and thereby acquire a moie extensive and correct knowledge of American character and manners, and a more perfect know ledge of the English language and literature, than they wmild he likely to obtain in a separate German institution.3. A large majority of the Germans do not desire a sepatate institution of learning for their children. They have adopted America as their country, and they wish their children educated in such a manner as will best qualify them lor the duties and re*|Ku-sibiliiics of Ameiicuit citizens.Rev. Geo. B.

This infidelity must be met on our own toil, for the enemy is upon us; and it can best be^done by cultivated mipds who are conversant with the German language. 4. The importance of concentrating ouf efforts, at least in the beginning. There will be-u limited number of youth, at least for a few years, seeking to avail themselves of the advantages here tendered them, and one institution will be sufficient to meet the demand at least for some time; and as few men can he spared for this work from o\hei departments of labor, it is better to take one man than several.Greencastle occupies a central position among the German conferences in the west. It is easy of access by railroad, and in n short time will be in connection, by railroads, with Dvery important town in the west. Greencastle is as healthy a location as any in the western country. A sound moral influence pervades the community. The Indiana Asbury University is established on a permanent basis.— Its present endowment is cash, notes, and property amounting to a hundred and thirty thousand dollars, and all its interests are in a healthy and prosperous condition.The Trustees have undertaken the endowment of a German professorship, not in any doubtful or hesitating spirit, but in full confidence that their course would not only meet with the approval,'but with the hearty co-operation, of the friends of German literature throughout our whole country; and the enterprise is commendedthem, to indicate that the secret of the remedy proposed lie* in the form and mode of it* administration, not in the reinedv itself, which i* really nothing new. sometimes alarmed at the -shock” experienced... the stomach.
