lacM aa they are, respecting said churchea ; and
thus afiord you an opportunity of placing your
tAf right with tkii community, and also before

Aa lohg tgo as 1837, the Presbyterian Church
commenced its reform, and made its division
not by a'ssctiocial line, but in relation to doctrines
and ciitrds-onier wparatjng at one time a large
portion of that ' loose, floating, fanatical element
to which jou referred. Since that period our
duty as regards that matter, has been easy, and

these have since gone off some in one direction,

we. Others a little fractious have, under conser

phia, in Buffalol and . Nashville, ltd 'all of which
places there have been the same harmony of ac
tion, and the same cordiality of social intercourse.
I was, myself, a member of the Assembly which
met in Philadelphia in 1863. There were many
delegates from the South; and I deny that-any
discrimination was made against Southern men
in that m)J I am' rjersuaded also that no
members of the Assembly from any other part of
the country were more- cordially received, more
respectfully treated, or more kindly, entertained
by the citizens, than were those rrom tne oouin.
The same. I have been told, was the case at Buffalo
A member of the Assembly which recently met
in Nashville has related to me the following inci
dent, which occurred in that body, in direct con
flict with your statements: An over sealous
delegate from one of the Congregational Associa
tions down East, being admitted to the floor as a
eorreenondin s member, so tar forsot his where
abouts as to undertake to lecture the Southern
members upon their "sins and duties !" Instant
ly a" dozen or rnore .Northern members sprang to
their feet, each eager to cast the nrst stone at mm.
And among them, they gave him very much sucn
a "lettine down" as the old man did to the young
intruder whom he found robbing his orchard.
Most handsomely and ably, says my informant,
were the Southern members defended by their
Northern brethren, without the necessity of a
Southern man saving a word such men as Dr.
Boardman of Philadelphia, Dr. Dumont ot aew
York, and Dr. Rice of St. Louis, taking the lead
in the defence T
Instead, then, ofita beins true that we of the
South are in danger of being overpowered, and
driven out bv those avalanches of abolition, of
which you spoke in so earnest admonition, the
fact is, we hare put them where they deserved to
to be o the outside, vkiU we remain ecurtuith
in : have swept them from our whole arena : and
' a -
there they will be compelled to stay not ft frag
ment of that disturbing element left to annoy 1
Instead of ceaseless and intolerable dissensions, as
vou stated we have verfect peace Instead of
impending and Inevitable division, no such thing
is even in the distance contemplated. Indeed,
we have nothing about which either to contend or
divide. Such are briefly the facts in relation to
agitation, fraternization and the prospects of di
vision. But there are other tacts.
The principal religious newspaper of our de
nomination is published in Philadelphia a Urge
and ably conducted paper called the "Presbyte
rian " That paper is now in the 25th year of
its age, It circuities throughout the United
States, It iaone of the most conservative and
reliable papers in the world. I hare neyer yet
seen in it an "infected article," nor one in any
other way offensive to the South. We hays
also a book publishing establishment, called the
Board of Publication
The members of that Board are elected from
year to year by the whoh? General Assembly
live majority of the members are always Nor
thern men. Our Publishing House is also in
Philadelphia within that vast region whence
von have supposed nothing "clean could ever
issue. The publications of that Board amount
now to about five bandred different works. Large
and repeated editionsof many of them have been
for several years scattered all over our country.
They embrace a vast variety of subjects, and are
adapted to persons ot all classes, characters and
eoaditioni tracts, children s books, and "nurse
ry lullabjes" forming no inconsiderable portion of
their issues I And yet, sjr, if you can point out
a single paragraph m any one of them which di
sjsnti
whole
Soatb has thus far been unable to do ! Indeed,
it was precisely ou these grounds that the "Simon
Pnre, "ho now constitute the "Free Synod" of
the West, left us, Our Assembly was firm as
Gibraltar against their seductions and assaults
and they could pour none of their lava streams
through any of the presses of either the Assembly
or the Synods. They left ; and for the "reforma
tion of the rest of mankind, they are now doing
their own publishing.
With htile if any aualjfication, I believe that
the same may be said of the millions of books
published by the American Sunday School U
nion, the American Tract Society, and the E-
niscopal Church aye; and of their newspapers
and children's papers also, wbchhaje an immense
circulation. And yet all these are published
north of the line. Indeed, nearly a)l otar books,
of every kind, come from the North, Large, then
as is the mass of rapid, fanatical publications,
vastly greater is the strength, and incomparably
more numerous are the works, of those millions
who have not bowed the knee to the modern
Baal, Nor do I agree with you, that in regard
to any f these matters is there anything porten
tous of a worse state of things ju future. So far
as the Old School General Assembly ia' concerned,
me cxKiin may nave me iuiiesi connuence in
future character and action. For not only are
its spirit and its principles thoroughly conserva

Lulu and Nettie were twins. Lulu had always
been more fragile and delicate than Nettie, though
both were fair and seemed more fit for Heaven than

the poor and needy always found a friend in him ;
and now Mrs. Lee found herself bereft of one of
her darling children. She had loved both almost
to idolatry, but Lulu, being more gentle and del

loved ber most ; but she was devotedly attached
to both. She led Nettie to her cham

tions of the National Whigs ofNew JC ore ana

tive Whigs of those two great States are nobty
standing forward to breast the storm of treason
and fanaticism. In both of them, while preserv
ing a distinct organization from the American
party, they have planted themselves upon ks
platform, so far as that subject, which "mainly
menaces the Union, is concerned.
NEW YORK.
A meeting of the National Whigs of the city
of New York, opposed to Fusion with Aboli
tionists, (after the manner of the Softs, and that
portion of the Whig party of the State, which
lately assembled at Syracuse,) was held on
Thursday evening last, and was addressed by the
Hon. Geo. Wood and the Hon. James Brooks
From the Address adopted upon the occasion,
we make the following extract :
"The great father of our party, Henry Clay,
foreseeing, in the geographical ambition of cer
tain men, this attempt to merge the whigs ot the
Korth in a mere abolition party, cried out from
Kentucky, in 1860 :
If the whig party is to be merged into a con
temntible abolition party, and if abolitionism is
to be engrafted upon the whig creed, from that
moment I renounce the party and cease to be a
whiz. I go yet a step further : if I am alive, l
will give my humble support to that man tor me
Presidency who, to whatever party he may De-
long, is not contaminated by fanaticism, rather
than to one who, crying out ail the time that he
is a whig, nv doctrines utterly subversive
of the constitution and the Union."
This attempt to separate parties m the North
and South ia not the first attempt in our country,
tor it was attempted in ixxuraoia, o. anu ui
Nashville, Tenn., and in the famous Hartford
Convention, during the last war but the people
of the country, ever true to the advice of Wash
ington, have " discountenanced " and put down
all such attempts. Northern and Southern
churchea of the same denomination of Christians
may exist, jeopardizing, however, but not dis
membering the Union, because they look up to a
God and have a common Bible, but xSorthern and
Southern political parties must begin with aban
doning their common country and end in abolish
ing the federal constitution -the now common
political Bible. Whigs of New York, the so
called Fusion Convention has thrown to the winds
every whig principle that uuder our Clay and our
less v -ccmivorfreqent. In all cases where

2ruato-oc of par strongest defenders against
ror to his army, on the occasion of the evacuation
of a part of Sebastopol :
" 1 he prolonged defence of Sebastopol, a de
fence almost unexampled in the annals of war,
has fixed the attention not only of Russia but of
entire Europe. From its very outset, it placed
the defenders of that city in the rank of those
heroes who have reflected the greatest honor op
the country, r or eleyen entire months the gar
rison of Sebastopol disputed with their powerful
enemies every inch of their native soil surround
ing the place, and each of their operations was
signalized by deeds of the most brilliant valor.
A terrible bombardment, four times renewed,
and the fire of which has been justly termed in
fernal, shook to their foundation the walls of our
fortifications, but could uot extinguish nor enfee
ble the zeal and constancy of the defenders.
With invincible courage and an endurance wor
thy of the soldiers of Christ, they repulsed the
enemy or tell, without thinking ol surrender.
But the impossible exists, even for heroes.
On the 27th of the present month, after hav
ing been repulsed in six desperate assaults, the
enemy succeeded in making himself master of
the Kormlon bastion, and the Commander-in-
Chief of the army in the Crimea, sparing the
precious blood of his companions in arms, t
effusion of which would ha"ye been useless under
those circumstances, determined on moving over
to the north side of the towu, leaving to the be
siegers only blood-stained ruins.
Deploring from the bottom of my soul the loss
of so many valiant soldiers dead in their coun
try's cause, and devotedly submitting myself to
the decrees of the Almighty, who has not vouch
safed to crown their exploits with complete suc
cess, I consider it a sacred duty to take' this occa'

enemy was encamped three miles lefore them,
and were to march next morning to Lord Coru
wallis's heail-quarters ; hw position w.ts accurate
ly descrilied, and the route to the c.imp minutely
given. Col. Wiilianw and some of his men were
well acquainted with the shape of the ground and
tue rtpproacnes w it.
It was now alter twelve o clock ; the rain had
ceased, the clouds were passing off, the sun shone
brightly, and nature seemed V smile upen the en-
terpi im.' at hand. It was determined to march at
once upon the campj and dacile the conflict with
out further rest or refreshment. Each man was
ordered to "tie up his over-ooat and blanket,
throw the priming out of his pan, pick his touch
ioIc, prime anew, examine Ins bullets. and see that
everything was inj readiness for battle." While
this was being dMie, the officers agreed upon the
general plau of attack, which was to surround the
e uiuence and make a simultaneous assault upon
every part of the camp, lhe men were soon in
their saddles and upon their march.' When with
in a mile of the battle ground an express from
Ferguson was arrested, on whom was . found a
despatch to Lord Oornwallis, urging him to send
immediate reinforcements, and stating the num
ber under bis command ; and that he was secure
ly encamped upon a hill, which, in honor of his
Majesty, he had named King's Mountain, and if
all the rebels out of h- 11 should attack him, they
would not drive him from it. The contents of
the despatch were, with the exception of the num
ber of the enemy, communicated to the riflemen.
the march was resumed, their pace quickened, and
they rude in a gallop within view ot the camp of
t erguson.
A closer examination of the ground and the
position of the enemy demonstrated the feasibili
ty f the plan of attack-already concerted by the
officers. More minute arrangements were imme
diately made aud carried into execution. It was
deckled that the troops commanded by Winston,
McDowell, sevier, and Campbell, being something
more than half of the whole number of the assail
ants, after tying their horses, should file to the
right, aud pass the mountain nearly out of reach
of the enemy's guns, and continue around it till
they should meet the rest of the troop eueircling
the mountain ointe other side, and led by Mam
bright aud Chronicle, and followed bj Cleveland
and Williams ; after which each command was
to face to the frout,.raise the Indian war whoop,
and advance upon thq enemy. Accordingly the
troops moved lorward, and passing up a ravine
between two rocky knolls, came in full view of
the enemy's camp above them, and about one
hundred polos iu ffont. Herp they dismounted),
and haying tied their horses, left a small guard
with them, ihe right wing or column was led
by Winston and Sevier ; the left by Cleveland and

Hon. Geo. S. Hilliard, of Boston, made i

The entire vote of Jetton county was given for
Whitfield. In Leavenworth county, Whitfield
had 800 and Reeder 200. At Willow Springs
100 votes were polled, all for pro-slavery candi
