What I regret is that you hail not informed your self more fully ot the facts in relation to the churches of which you spoke. And what I complain of is, that your statements uncor rected, place those churches in a false light before the world, and thus do them great in justice and injury. H la support of your argument in favor of Southern organization, yon pronounced the whole was of the population north of the slavery limits, with the rarest exception, "thoroughly ami hopelessly abolitiouized !" Uted that "their coirversation, their teaching, their books. Slid their nursery lullabies, were alt deeply imbued with those execrable Sen-titnent--that in consequence of this state ot things, division had taken place years ago, in the Methodist and Baptist I'hurches that the Presbyterian and the Episcopal churches vers in a state of deep agitation, w ere indeed u the very eve of division, and that division was inevitable ! "Now whde I freely admit that the fanati cal element in tlwt region is large, that por tions ot it are so fur gone that no reasonable nope can be entertained respecting them; and while I agree with you that their spirit and course of artiou are highly censurable, I dieseiit wholly from your inferences, as to what must be the inevitable result of their fanatical course; and I protest against the oc capancy, oa the rbove named churches, of the position in which your statements would place them. Yon spread out before your hearers thoe loathsome masses, and repre sent them as abounding equally in all the Churches. But the Baptist and Methodist churches, years ago, cut loose from their pnr tipie of those contaminating hordes, and. of cvurte, have, ever since stood forth before the wotld, purged, commendable and glorious; while the Presbyterian end EpicopaT church es are aittl in the odious contact still frater nising, or striving to do so, with thne on whom politicians not always very fastidious it their moral tastes spit only venom, and from whose touch their purer spirits instinc tiff If recoil ! ! Thieeir. ia the iwwWS which you nave placed as! Now, in relation to those divided churches, 1 say .blessings on them in their deed ! They chose their oo course had a perfect right to do o actt-d no doubt from conscientious motives pursued the only course w'.iich, as tbey iippitf.1, cuald be taken. e "As long ago as 1 837, the Presbyterian Cha i,.h commenced its reform, and made its division nut by a sectional linr, but in re lation to doctrine sand church order separa ting at one time a Urge portion of that loose, floating, fanatical element to which you have referred. Since that period our duty, a re gards that matter, has been easy, and gene rally pleasant. Here and there a" few obstrep erous spirits fur a time remained. Mot of three have since gone off some in one direc tion, some in another thinking themselves iulier than we. Others little fractions. have. euder conservative inileenres. been ! restrained.

Al blv is concerned, tht South my have the ful lest confidence in its future character and ac tion. For not only are its spirit and its prin- cip'es thoroughly conservative but it isnll powerful s segafds ability to keepout or sup press fanaticism of error of whatever kind, or under whatever name. And so determined have its members been, that agitation on vexed and fruitless subjects should be excluded, that they have in several instances broken ofTall correspondence with prominent foreign bo dies with whTch they formerly held inter courej on account of iheir attempts to cast firebrands among our churches, or detract our ecclesiastical councils. e No one, it seems to me, can douM the conservative spirit of the Episcopal Chorch. It is one of the list bodies in which we should expert to find fanaticism of the rabid stripe of which you spoke. Order' and " unity'-' have ever been their boast. And so far as I can leatn, no division on the subject of sla very has been anticipated, or ia likely ever to occur. But those several bodies, taken collettivelv, constitute a wellordered conser vative phalanx of prodigious strength. Anil they are actuated by a spirit which will nei ther flag in duty nor suffer itself to be over borne. Thus. sir. have I, as in duty bound, laid the 'facts respecting these several points briefly belore you ; anil Hoping mat it win meet your approval, I chill, through the press, present them to the Southern public. It is due to all parties concerned that this should be done. Facts and investigations are what good men always desire.

S Anse t It ha been asked if Scbasinpid is tena ble, so long a the Russians remain masters of all the forts on the north side, which line the sea in f out of t!.e town t Undoubtedly I it may be held in spite of this. It ia true that the occupation of the north by the Rus sian prevent our entering the roadstead and the port. What need have we of them when we already possess excellent harbors Have nut our flretaalready passed lhe winter with out incurring any danger in these waters It hat also bern asked if the allies will have te andertake, nw or later, the siege of lhe forts on ihe north side ? There appears te be ne absolute necessity lor so doing. " The forts on tht north side can neither prevent oerorcupatioo of !cbaiopol, nor can they thwart our operations in the interior of the Crimea, on account aif their eccentric si tuation. We should not be surprised at their being blown ap so soon as the Russian army ia romp lied to retreat front the neij;h borhood of Mrbastopot. For the pree til lhe allied army hold its strong position until the occepatiou of lhe town shall have been proper ly arranged, and itt chief defence thoiough Iv rrpsiicd. It doe not appear to hare any tiling ele tn do at present. The Russian ar my, lire its part, occupies the excellent posi tion uf Mackenaie, strongly enirenrhed end lined w ith redoubt like our own.
