He then became editor of the "True Union," a denominational paper of superior excellence, from, which poi 8ition he withdrew to become co-editof with Jtev. Geo. B. Taylor, of "Tie Chrittian Jieview." which fr many-vears was the great quarterly of the denomi nation in the United States. I Dr. Wjlson is a man of handsome fortune, and lives in elegant style in the western suburbs ot Baltimore, but bis money he has always seemed to hold as a steward of the Lord. He has not only educated a number of younor' men for the rninistry.nnd given thousands of dol lars to the cause of missions at home and abroad, but he has contributed more largely than any other man in Ma ryland to the establishment and mainf tenance of churches in that State.

I REV. J. B. JETER, D. D., ' ij of Richmond, Va., is now one of the most - venerated and. universally be loved, as be has for years been one ot the most useful, ministers of Virginia. . He was born in one of the early years of the present century, in Bedford county, Ya., a county which has probably pro duced more ' distinguished ministers than any other in this country. He was1, in his younger days, a missionary ot his State Association, and has occu pied, since, two important pastorates in Richmond and one in St Louis. He is now the seuior editor of the ' Religion Herald, the organ of Virginia Baptists, and has a circulation of 12,000. Though now recognized wherever he is known as a gentleman ot thorough and elegant culture, Dr. Jeter is a self-educated and self made man. Few men are more thoroughly iniormed in all branches ot learning , and very , few wield a more graceful pen. : Such is his' reputation for wisdom and exalted moral worth, and his influence acquired by many years of useful labor, that tie might, with propriety, be called the Nestor ot the Convention. . - Dr. Jeter is the author of a number of works, some of which have attained a very wide circulation. Tears ago he uubhshed a book entitled "Campbell ism Examined,' which is one of the ablest works ot controversy we ever lead. The celebrated Presbyterian pas tor ot New Yrk, Dr. J. W.

C, and is a half brother of that old man eloquent, Rev. W. H. Jor dan, now a pastor in Sumter, S. C He was educated at Columbian College, Washington, and is considered one of the soundest theologians in the denom ination, to which ho is an honor. Dr. Poindexter is very deaf, but as was the case with John Milton, who "from the cheerful ways of men " was quite M cut off, " his thoughts have been the more turned inward. ! ! He is recognized as a bold and inde pendent thinker on theological and phil osopbical questions, and there is proba bly no man among Southern Baptists, whose opinions are! more sought and respected, - -' - j : -, Much of his life has been spent in the laborious and useful service of an Agen t. He was, at one timq, Agent for Colum bian College, afterwards he represented the Baptist Publication Society, located in Charleston : tor several years lie was associated with the late, but now saint ed, Dr. James B. Taylor, as Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Con vention, and since the war, be has raised a hundred thousand dollars for Rich mond College, Va. j Dr. Poindexter is a vigorous writer,, an able preacher, and as a piattorm speaker has ew equals in the country. The most eloquent and powerful speech we ever heard from the lips of man was made by him in the Capitol in Raleigh, before the Baptist 'State Con vention, in 1856, on the subject of edu cation.! No one who beard that speech will ever forget it its; influence was felt all over the State, and an impetus was then given which secured tor Wake Forest College an endowment of a hun dred thousand dollars.

Dr. Curry is still a young man,-not more than lorty-nve ' ile entered the ministry since the . war, and while a preacher of much power, he is more distinguished as a i platform speaker and our people may promise themselves a neb treat in hearing him on some of the important questions which will: claim the attention of the Convention. i Dr. Curry) has sbeen invited to the pulpits of several large churches and has been called to the presidency of Mercer University, at Macon, Ga., and.

J After carefully scanning the proceed ings of the late Radical Convention, we discovered, to our surprise, thatHerford did not vote for Governor, though we knew that the county was represented in that meeting. We have since ascertained that the two delegates from this county being div d d in sentiment, hdd to pa r 6f and there was no vote from Hcrtfoid tor either of the canditates. . The col ored delegate was tor Cald well, while bis collegue was strongly in favor of Settle. rou must allow us to express our satis faction on reading the manly, patriotic and well written letter ot Kev. N. B. Cobb in odg pf your receut issues. He could not have said less under the cir cumstances,and we candidly believe that he has said , it most admirably. We have no patience with political preach- 3, but we cannot see how : any true North Carolinian can be indifferent to the struggle going on in. the tate De- tween honesty and and respectablity on one side, against fraud and a want of re spectability, on. the other. Good men dignify a cause, and it is a source oi pride to us that so many of the best and the most talented ministers in the State are the staunchest friends of the Con servative party. Studiously avoiding any active interference with politics they are nevertheless ready at the pro " per time to show their preference by their votes. '. . r .. " .1 . ' . '": ' Sheriff Pipkin left home yesterday on the " Heicn Smith " to escort Belch to , Edenton, where he is to be tried this week before Judge Albertson. It is rumored that Belch has expressed satis-. taction at the elevation of Albertson t the bench, as he feared him as a prose cutor, and hopes to escape through the inefficiency of the Solicitor. We can riot vouch for "the truthfulness of this rumor, nor do we know anything of the Solicitor. We only give the report lor what it is worth, without any cxpres-f sion of opinion!. I i - Several gentlemen have left here for Mr. Ed. Wood's ishery, below Eden ton, and we envy them the jolly good time they will be sure to have .dorn there. Mr. Washington Griffith, one of our best citizens, has the management of the fishery, and we are sure he will do everything in his power to make tueir visit a pleasant one. We recollect having Tead, belore the late - unpleasantness," in Pdrte Crayon's sketches tor Harper's Magazine, an account of his visit to the. North Carolina fisheries, and were much pleased with it. To one who has never seen the finny tribe taken upon a large scale1, there is much to be seen and learned by a visit, and we are surprised that, many of our people do not come east during the spring to witness the 'operations of the large seines. But tor tear that you wi'l think we are growing hshy " we will desisfc. , , " Bishop Atkinson is . expected ; here next week, and will probably have two services during his stay in this place. We learn that there will b at least two Candidates for confirmation. As the time for holding the Congres sional Convention for this district is rapidly approaching, we would re spectfully suggest to that body the same ot our countyman, Alai. J. J. Yeates'as a suitable standard bearer in the approaching contest. We are sat isfied that he is the strongest man of the party in the district, and should his disabilities be removed before the assembling of the district Convention, we feel almost sure of his nomination. Should Congress however,refuse to do so, we then declare our preference for that gallant soldier, and able State Senator, Major L. C. Latham, ot Washington. With Yeatesor Latham, we can go into the canvass without fear feeling al most assured of victory. Hertford. The Case of Dr. Haston. The case of Dr. Huston, as it now stands, is very unsatisfactory to the public, and the impression is gaining ground that the chnrch authorities are endeavoring to smother it. The ex amination of witnesses thus far by Pre siding Elder Rogers and Rev. Dr. Gard ner, is merely to make up the list of charges on which he is called on to answer before a 'committee of the church. 'What progress they have made in the investigation of these charges is not known, but no one can talk with these, gentlemen without being satisfied that the proof they have already received is very damaging. There is to-day hot a' clergyman in ; the city belonging to Dr. Huston's church who will undertake to defend him ; and it is rumored that Samuel Snowden, his counsel, is anxious to withdraw from the libel suit commenced against the Baltimore American. That paper stands firmly by its accusations, and expresses its readiness to prove its charges before a jury, but no bill of complaint has yet been filed in the case. Dr. Munsey, of the Central church, who advised Huston to fly from the city,' telling him at the same time that he believed him to be guilty, has proved all the charges brought against him by Huston to be false and malicious, and on Sunday last preached in Huston's pulpit, which was regarded as an evidence that he has justified himself before the presid ing elder. He immediately, on hear ing of the charges, demanded the appointment of a committee to accompany him to' Parkersburg, Va., which was the location of the "ori gin of the charges, and where it is t nought Huston is now bidden away from the world. The delay in the in vestigation is galling to .the feelings of his victims and their families and friends. He has charged them with be ing parties to a conspiracy, and has called upon God to witness the truth of bis denial ot guilt. Three months have nearly transpired and do opportunity has been given to prove the truth mt their assertions and to snw thst they arc tb victims of ft professional libertine, who had held thess la his toil from childhood.

" :r: The general tenor of the report carries the idea, notot sweeping destruc tion by freezing, but ot injuries by thin ning out,by killing in spots and patches, and aspecially by retarding an early start and vigorous gro win. In many cases the plants, apparently dead, were only steadily improving in appearance, but firmly rooted, and ready with favoring warmth and sunshine to start into sure and steady, if not' rapid growth.1.
