There are little courtesies about a dispute, as well as other things, which, we think, should be -observed ; if they were more regarded, argumentation would not so often degauerate into sarcasm, repartee, and an attempt to say "smart things, to get away" with an opponent. We are satisfied, how erer, .that Sit Lux" meant no dis courtesy, that he thought he had a right to assist his pastor, (we must Msume nexesarily that "Sit Lux" is aUothoidstX that there could be no objection to his so doing. And, in deed,there is none, except the breach of a conventionality,and the tendency to prolong the dispute to infinity, if erery member of the church should sucoessiTely rise up and direct his lance against ' us.

' We will now proceed to take up flit Lox's' arguments as they come, , his characterisation of our affort, bis horror at the workings of the "Deril," personated by the Club in artful dis pute, his spleen and tone of writing. He starts out by eulogizing. Mr. Swindell's sermon, and relating its compliments ' by some person. We will not say wnat we neard of it Whether the sermon was excellent or or not decides not the disputed ques tion of dancing.' If Mr. Swindell's sermon was conclusive of the subject, it will stand. We do not object to Mr. Swindell or any other living mor tal preaching against dancing. , We freely allow them their honest con victions about it. 'We have said that we were opposed to excesses in dan cingjant maintain that there lis aprop trway of dancing Jm which when so 4pne there is no harm. - We are open to conruiceineirs, and when we, iook inif through the medium of sectarian preiudice,or otherwise,are able to dis- is tmoa TOUDied ana Droxen up from its great deep by indulgence of nh ruga lansasuc, ,um juwb tu ireaTQlts from it than anyother cause, Hesat the purity .of woman, . to whom we nave a cmralrous de vol ion, is Do ing blighted, that he who .dances is sua imp of HelL a minister of the Devil. - inanoeuTeriner to fill the cell of the bottomless pit of pexdnion with Jus own and the scwus oi beau tiful women, we repeat, when, having this awul picture before ns, we can balievo in its truth, we will ayr Be quiet, O, nimble feet "the nxind your guide forbids ;ye would not trip with genue oomraoB uivu mo inP 8it Lux" misrepresents, the ;. con duct oi the Qob" with refertscsto Ur. tgwiadeil's sermon; ; thsywsrB indiraamt, Ihey were even so indig nant, that they openly roclimed npon th streets that they would , "re- nnAitum tnavVa flif Trfv' they were JJemetru aissuacung ine peopl from God, just when his word was: tajwglexraii.xeaxing ; tneir utjivi jrjess ( weak :be stopped, and yro womloV reeoU; tney aitacxea a Christian minister.

We said that all acts were capable of performances in! rigut or wrong way. , JTrom this pre mise he says, stealing, an, act esseo tially wrong, may be proved to be right if done m a... certain way ' Of course, there. is. no; right way of do ing a wrong act so as to make the act right' We meant, bat made pur ex presflsion toau general, ' that acts in themselves right or indifferent,' could be done in a, wrong msnner, : that is, could-be hbosed. No one, we think, can deny this. ' ' r " 1 VSit Ijuxv holds that there, can be no indifferent acts. We will endeavor to illustrate. Suppose, through igno rance of the law, a man violates it, and his act is not malum in $e, or contrary to natural law, although positive.law may not excuse him, yet is there any moral guilt upon his con science? Certainly not. Some wri ters even hold that the known in fringement of a merely positive law, as for example, killing partridges within a prescribed 'period, carries with it no moral guilt, if. the penalty be paid. We go not so far as that, but think such a known disobedience, an offence against conscience, if it in volve any degree of private injury or public miechie otherwise where the law positive waa unknown. Mr. Swindell attumed, as does "Sit ; Lux,'! that dancing is either right or wrong. We examined into this di lemma, and found that the di vision of matter was not complete, that a "me dium" not a "meaiiS of escape was efTorded; as it did not embrace indif ferent acts, the posaibtlity of wbioh has jestiJMSA daaoairaAed. ,' Ff cause to test the,accuxacyror "the asv aumed propoaition, we" applied a log ical method, old as the hills, "Sit Lux aocuses"of "dodging;," and calls it a nappy tnoognt, as u an . inven e. . . a tion of our own. . He wants to know what issue we made; none, but to re ply to Mr. Swindell; we dicLso and, as before said, have not heard from him. He affirm edwe denied; we are upon the defence. 'lfwe refute Mr. Swindell, let him make another stand.; " " Just after this inquiry "Sit Lux" asks again in that depreciatory man- ner, common in petty style of argu-1 mentation, do we think by a smatterf ing of ancient history, a few scripture quotations and a little ridicule, which receives the plaudits of the thought less, 'that a great principle is to be laughed down. We 'quoted history pertinent to our purpose, tbe same with regard to scripture, and if there be any ridicule, which is confessed to be "little,? it arose simply from the refutation of Mr. Swindell s posi tions. As for attempting t to laugh down a principle," we were asl serious as Nestor when we wrote; it Was not a moment oi merriment with us, else It would have manifested itself more strongly '"r 1 - v:- ; Can "Sit Lux"- Wl us what the Bible means by a 'time to dance ' We are much desirous to know, and wish it could be explained if we ad mit tnat words so plain, need expbt-l nation.- Tbe text, a "time to dance," is taken, enort oy jtxeDraie derivation to change its meaning made, after which we hear of it no uaow. Let "Lux be npn it. ;'-"' It is repeated that Mr. Swindell closed his sermon by saying he had no, hope 1 of influencing those not (Jnnstians, ttey were not. supposed to be governed by Christ hence ho use to talk to them. : Oh, Christiani. ty, Christianity, to what a "low ebbrJ indeed, art thos. come; how are the mild waters -of thy chaiity dried up, when thy ministers, and professors would exclude from thy saving pow- er the ignorant, the heathen and un- believing, would leave them in origi - nal darknessv would expel them from the : motherly wing of .Jerusalem, would, in their , own aelf excellence attribute unworthy motives to the acts of blind humanity, and with Pharisaical -pity vlook -down- upon them: thou, whose Founder left the blessed domain of Heaven, put on our wearisome fleslLand suffered sor - rows and laDOurs, opposition- ana Boorn. reproaches "and injuries,' vio Jence and stripes and erud death, and beEran meek and humble, solitary nA elnne. in the face of countless at-foxues. the conversion of a corrupt- ed and dying world I " Oh. draw not thvself coldly witnin tnyBeif, but ex - tend s, neiping nana, as tnou oast -.. . . ...

J As to tne suipnurous , and offensive pun on the word "formai" We ; hate cothinsr to say. f -We will allow it . to smoke; let its noisome fumes ascend tbe nostrils of its per petrator, and disgust him with its smell. Pursuing his disagreeable strain,' -"Sit( Lux" quotes lengthily from aOf outrageous poem pf Byron ; he does ot care how much the mod esty of people is shocked, the dance must go, the blushing veil must be laid aside' for the nonce . r Could not "Sit Lux' find choicer language to express his idea There is a right and wrong, a proper and improper, a delicate and indelicate manner of treatiue a subject " Let him try to reform the vehicles of his thought. , - He advised the ' '.'Wauree Club'' to select their best reader and open each dance with a recitation of the "Apostrophic Hymn" ' of Byron. By doing so we would greatly con tribute to any evil that might arise out of any excesses in dancing. Be sides it is not the proper place for reading; there is a "time to read." If ait Lux'' will have this "Hymn" read, we suggest that it be done at the literary circle with musiu,.' which he advocates. But we would strong ly Sdviee that uuch eelections be rig idly excluded, otherwise the "literary circle with music" would soon col lapse for want of attendance. Citations from many eminent men of I different churches are made to pr Jve the assertion we have before argued against,; that the sentiment of the best people- in ' the world is op posed to dancing. He says, quo ting: , The Bxman Catholio church 8ay8f We consider it our duty to warn our people" agsinst the fathieua hie dances, &cin" Now,' the Catholio church says no such things In sev eral jdioceStfg, oa account of excesses siuo fKOpnet ILe church, - exeroisisg their t episcopal aiscr'etion, Lave prohibited fashiona ble' dances, as the-waltz and german, They were right ia so doiog. This is all; we have no information that the church herself, through her , official kead, has pronounced upon it. If "Sit Lax' had confined his opposition to waltzing, - and not extended it to dancing generally, he. would receive more support from the .'Catholic church. r The Presbyterians, in General As sembly object to promiscuous dan- cini.'i What does that mean? Not all dancing, else: it would have been so expressed.. It would seem to be a warning against all Borts of people that may be encountered at public balls n large places, people that we have not known before, of whom we have no means 'of judging.'. If this is hot the proper construct ion, we would like to have it explained. We would so iutef pret it from the short quotation from the minutes. . The testimony of Dr. Huffham is given for the Baptist Church., j Have th 'Baptists pronounced upon the question ic general convention, Or does Dr. Huffham give his individual opinion? Does' he speak for a par ticular division Of Baptists,' or for the Whole variety of them? several JSpt&corxu antuonties are I quoted from. -Have they ever passed upon tms question u Ueneral Assem J bl? We understand not. We have I no doubt, we enow, tnat many euu- I nent clergymen of that denomination I are opposed to waltzing, but the I ctiurca as a body has not placed itself in active opposition to either waltzing or dancing generally, but allo ws its I members this indulgence, l : Tbe challenge of - "&it JLux is ac oepted: we have named the churches that permit dancing, and we think that- these churches are not faithless to their Lord, and it U not for "Sit I Lux" to say -so, j We are deeply aggrieved that the J conclusion of our reply should be called "reUgious gush."

Ms Carter's aoeoUBt of wa excursion, he - recently made- along--with three hundred -Baptist preachers as L far down ir Mexico as Monterey. c -It was entertaining, -And we recall ' two or tnree amusing mcidents which he re lated. Dr;; Hatch,' of Grace Street cburch, Biehmond, :was arrested, charged with the larceny of a basket At seems, ne bad purchased - from a market-man-a curious Mexican bas ket, but the wife of the dealer not seeing him pay the money and not stopping to enquire, ran after him after he had got some' distance away and calling to' a policeman had him arrested. Not being able to speak Spanish and no 1 interpreter being near, he was taken back to the place where he purchased the article, when the husband of course explained mat ters and tne good doctor was release ed. The accompanying brethren had many a joke , at his expense on the return trip, i Mr. Carter told of an amusing ren contre with a custom house officer. At the first large town they reached, the baggage of all hands was over hauled. Tbe preachers had been traveling several days and being warm weather, much soiled linen had accumulated. After the officer had oue through some half dozed trunks he told the traiu m-n to proceed, but to tell the remaining 294 Baptist preachers that they ought to practice a little more of the immersion they ta ked about so much. At the Hotel National, at Monte rey, a distinguished preacher, when about to retire for the night made certain motions to the Spanish ser vant in attendance trying to oommu- meats to nun the idea that be would like for some of the covering; to be removed from the bed. The servant rushed out and in few minufc S brought back a" glass of brandy I That same preacher a few days be fore at Waco, in the General Conven tion, had made' a strongs temperance speech. h -. ' - - , We think Mr. Carter detracted much from his lecture at its close by the tirade against the Catholic church. Wby Christian ministers of. one denomination are continually whacking at those of another, is one of those things a person outside tbe Christian churchy can never under stand. This habit does" as much to retard the progress of God's kingf dom as an j thing we know. The world is ' amused at it and remarks the absence of that harmony, good will and charity which the Christian religion professes to teach. Some times you will hear a Missionary Bap tist blazing away at Presbytenanism, then a Presbyterian after the -Episcopalians, then a Primitive Baptist rub-' brag it into John VYeslev, then .tne Catholio scorching the heretic, first one, then another, after the balance. Suppose all tbe churches that, be lieve in Jesus Christ . would stop fighting among then: Selves and spend their energies in antagonizing the DeviL how much "more good . would come of it ? And they need all their strength to fight the Devil. Anus far in the contest, be has tbe largest following according to oar observa tion. "United we stand, divided we all.". ,,.1 n-.v,$y-..rt ,Y f A Kllllonalre Bride The marriage in Boston, Thursday, of John P Andrew, son of tlie war governor, and Alias Harriet Thayer, daughter of tne late JNatliani -1 lhayer was ths social event of the season Trinity church was thronged at noon when.the,ceremony took place. Within the great auditorium was made the most magnificent floral display ever seen in Boston.. The chancel was buried in flowers, and over-spanning ! all was an immense arch of rare exotics, twenty feet high.
