THE AvsYRIAN DIsco! To the Evlitor of The Chwago Tvibuie: Cuicaso, March 27.—I1 have read with interest your lato accouut of tho recont dixcoverics among tho cuneiform imecriptions taken fromtho excavations at Kouyounjik by the oxpedition of tho Loudon Telegraph, and, whito not disputing their groat interest and impurtance, I wisi to differ with you as to tho evuclusions drawn by you in your editorint regarding tho origin of tho Book of Goneais, thoea conclusions not boing sustained by the facts, You take ground with Draper, that the greater part of tho narrative portion of the Book of Genevis is of Assyrian origin, being tho Aesyrian version of the many mythical traditions touching the Creation common among al primitive peoples; that during the Babylonian captivity undee Sbalmanoxer and Nobuchaduezzar, lasting during s period of fifiy- six sears, tho Jews became familiar with tho Aesyrian legends, which, upon their roturn to their own country ‘npon the accession of Cyrus, thoy carried with them, and ine corporated with their national roligion. ‘Tho coincidouce betwoen tho recontly-discover- ed inscriptions and tho Book of. Gonesis in it- self proves notling farther than the moro fact that, somo timo in their roypective histories, the Teractites nnd Assyrisns had come into contact, and thatat that time one of thom bad received from _tho other tho legends in question. And hore I wish to correct tho chronology by which you aseiga B. C, 1100 a3 tho date at which tho library of Sardanapalus was collected. Sardans- palus IL,tho King in question, was the last King of Assyria, and tho bost suthoritics, Rawlivaon, Layard, etc., fix tho dato of his fall between B. B. §25 and 605, This difference of dates makes a material diferonce of rosult, as ot that time ton of tho Isracliti#h tribes, thoso known as the Isrnolites in distinction to thoes of tho Jorws, hind beon 317 years in enptivity, distributed throughout the outiro Kingdom. ‘Theso recorda had theroforo at that time been the joint possey- sion of both Ieraclites and Assyrians for 117 years, and thera is nothing to show exclusive possession ov the part of tho Assyrians prior to that timo, and tho presumptive evidence scoms to be against such s conclusion. ag I shall show, ‘ho history of tho Jews from tha timo of the Exodus is tolerably cortain, ag also thelr ro- Tigious beliof, which, howover derived, was first formulated and strictly defined by Mowos 1,400 B.G. Vheir retigion dittered totally from that of all othor religions, by ita peculinr foaturo of monotheimm—bvby ita ides of one God, omnipo- tent, omuiscicnt, immutable, the Creator of all things. ‘Tho formulation of their ralizion was complicto and thorough ; shore wero ro ambigui- ties, no uncertainties, but all was “Tha saith the Lord,” snd the porvading idea wastho powor and might of the Lord, the all-pervading omnip- otence, Whatever dispute thore may ba rogard- ing tho facts narrated prior to tho Exodus, thero is vo diepute ns to the fact that tho Ieractites did leavo Egypt, that their Government became a puro theocracy, tho lawa of whieh wero rigidly dofined, and that for 700 years those laws wore ecrupuloualy preserved intact by tho pricsta,aud, in tho main, rigidly oboyod by the people. Aud those Jaws had for a central idea the idea of ono God, the Lord of tho uniyergo, tho Creator and giver of all things. Horo we have two salient facte, rleidly-dofined Tawa on tho ono hand, and stendfant observance of those laws on tho other. ‘This notwith- standing that thoy had many times been brought into intimate eoutact. with many of the heathen roligions, from assimilation with which thoy had been seripulousty predekvad: Attho ond of this period came tho invasion of Sbalmancacr, by whom tho greater portion of the inhabitants of tho Kingdom of Ierael were carried into captivity. The captives wero woll treated, and gradual, be- cams assimilated to tho Assyrians in manuers and custome, and perhaps also in religious beliof. Ono hundred end thirty-four years later, Nub- uchadnezzar made anothor irruption into Cavaan, and carried off the tribo of Judah to Babylon. Unlike thelr brethren of tho ten tribes, tha Judeans were not soparated from each other, but were treated in all respects os Assyriaua; thoy wore permitted to live by families, were governoil according to the Mosaic law, bed their own chief, oni wero allowed freo oxercive of thoir own re- igion, evo now como to the question whother tho Jows adopted the Assyrian account, or vivo versa. ‘Cho poculiar characteristiey af the Jow- ish religion, its foundation in monotheism, with tho necesuarily accompanying ideas of supreme tulerehip and creative power, Love boon shown to havo boen possessed and maintaived with Rreat tenacity amidst all vicinmtndes by tho Judeans until the Babylonish captivity, a porlod of upwards of 800 yoarg, ‘They remained in Babylonia for the comparatively short umo of &6 yoars,—not long onough for a groat many of them to forget their native country,—and during that timo thoy wero not subjected to any intlu- envea which might lead thom to abandon or cor supe tho religion of thelr fathers. That they did not abandon it, but that, on tho cootrary, tho national roligioua feoling romained strom, wo have abundant proof from tho acre writings of that poriod, and the fact that, on the accession of Cyrna, the entiro inass of the later exiles, and of tho former, the tribe of Levi, availed thomsslves of the permission to return. With the lon tribes conatituting the Kingdom of Isracl the case was different. Thoy had been 190 years away from their own land, all memory of ithad long vince perished, tho deriro to return lad vanished au wealth and aflluenco acerued to the descendants, Low in number, scattered in aituation, disintogratod tu nationality, they wera subjected to intluonces whica their brathren of Judes Led not felt, and undar those influences their national character declined, and, with it, their religions character, until finally, ovor- whelmod by the gioss poly iielata of the Anuyri- ang, it coased to exist. ‘Ti hewover, Lad no national character, like tho Jewixh, but, on tho contrary, bad an vudioss varioty of forms ; and, constantly changing, aa o cangoquence adantod to iwelf many of tle tra- ditions and ceremonies of othor roligivns with which it came in contact. In this way tho tra- dition of the Creation (for, whether Jewish or Avsyrian in {te origin, I malotain it to be but traditional) was taken by tho Israolitos from Ca- naan to Agayria, by tho Avsyrisus, or Asayrioe Turaclites, wodliled and enlarged, and, with tho readmees of credonce characterintio of alt poly+ thetatio religions, it waa speodily ucized by the Assyrians, and, becoming part of the popular be- Hof, a4 such was incorporated in tho cuneiform inscriptious of ardanapalus, Bacuses, ave us LianT, To the Eilitor of The Chicago Tribune: Cuicauo, March 27.—1 am pleased to seo a dis cussion of lifo inauranco ta going on in your Journal; for whoro there ara 6,000,000 paid anoually iv Jifo premiuimat in Minos slope, tho iuguring public ts deoply {n- terested in any correspondence which tendae to the ventilation of the subject.
