PRITCniKD AGAIN. iii reply to Dr. Pritchard's article of yesterday morning I would say : The Doctor acknowledges that his memory may he somewhat at fault, as to what was said, in refer ence to some things written in my article. He asKs, however, "If I did not kuow he was absent from the city, at the time of the meeting which I quote, that he wrote a let ter to the Alliance stating three things, etc." I answer. The Doc tor was away from town the first meeting I quoted, May 26th. There was another meeting appoiuted; the Doctor was away from the city. It was called iu. Another appointed, the Doctor was not present when we met. At the meeting of June the 9th, which is quoted by me, the Doctor was not present, in fact he was not present at a meeting of the committee, after April 29tb, (accord ing to the minutes) though this matter which was considered of vi tal importance to the Alliance was uoder consideration. On this morn ing, June the 9tb, tbe question was asked where he was. One ot tbe members stated that he thought Dr. Pritchard had gone huntiug that morniug. The President's recol lection is that the Doctor stated to him the reason of his absence at a former meeting was that be forgot it. Now as to the letter, he says he wrote to the Alliance stating certain things, I do not say the Doctor did not write and send it. But if it ev er reached the Alliance neither the President, Secretary, nor several of the members whom I have seen, have any recollection of it. The minutes I quota do not mention it in any way, though they state fully what Dr. Hoge said. I am sure if as important a document as that would have been at that time bad been there, somebody would have remembered it, and the minutes would not have been so unfair as not to Dctice it. The Doctor was not there, he surely has not en quired as I have, to find whether it had been received, and yet he asks if I am not guilty of a suppression of the truth, and insinuates that I haveaconmiinf(italics hs) memory, had intentionally (italics mine) for gotten his disclaimer iu order to put him in a false light, &c. Ab, Doctor, I had hoped that by our as sociation, which has been so pleass ant, that you had learned to know me better than that. "May my right hand forget its cunning'' before I am ever guilty of a thing like that, about any one, much less one of God's ministers aud one whom I love. No, Doctor, I know nothing of the letter. You can bring the same charge with equal justice against tbe minutes, they could not put them down unless they were there. The Doctor seems to get ready for his statement about my convenient memor' by stating what a great English lawyer has said, ''That he would rather trust a line on paper as to a facf,iu the past thau any man's memory,'' I have given the liues on paper, the min utes of the Alliance which proves the Doctor mistakeu about two membersof the Alliance, protesting against Jones' visit to Wilmington. Another maxim of the law is "false iu one, false iu all." 1 would put it, mistaken, by the record once per haps iu all. In all candor, Doctor, I am entitled by this rule to the benefit of any doubt until proveu otherwise. Does the Doctor say and expect the reading public to ac cept the statement that he has raised but one issue, the pulpit manners of Sam Jones. How then will he explain bis opposition at the first proposal ot Jones coming. The protest of two members ot tbe Alliance. "Let it be remembered that tbe Methodists called him.-' That a great stir has been raised in WilmingtOD, and charges it to Jon3' paipit mauuers, and makes this is sue with him and his friends. If this is the only issue he makes, why need he take so much time and words to tell about how Jones came, who was for him, who agaiust him. No, Doctor, the public see you have made an issue agaiust those who called and helped him when he came. That issue I have tried to meet, how well the reader must des cide. Iu doing so 1 have noticed some of the strange statements you have made aud which I cannot reci oncile in reference to Brother Sam Jones. Take for example what he says in one article, "That he does not douht his piety or impugn his motives." In his last article he aayp, ' I charged him with being a vulgarian, a blackguard and profane swearer, (italics mine) and what is more, 1 proved each of the charges true from his own pulpit utteran ces." The Doctor, of course, being the Judge. The Doctor seems to see thiugs that many ot his breth-. reu and other Christian people do not in reference to Sam Jone. Many of the good people of Wil mingtou, wives mothers and daugh. terschaste, pure, refined, attended the meetings, many of the Doctor's own congregation. They did not consider that they were listening to a vulgarian, blackguard, aud pro faue swearer, and when asked if they had been benefitted by the meeting as conducted by Brother Jones almost unanimously stood up iu testimony of the fact. They heard more, a great deal more aud saw more of Jones' pulpit manners than the Doctor and yet thai was their vote. Take this statement from the daily Advertiser ot Mont gomery, Ala., under date of 28th instant : "After the conclusion of the ser vice, Dr. "Whartou, pastor of the Baptist church, Dr. Burkhead, of the Presbyterian church, Dr. Moore, of the Court Street Methodiss chnrcb, Mr. Cummiugs, of the Dex ter Avenue church and Mr. Thompi son, of the Adams Street Baptist church, made short talks endorsing Mr. Jones and expressing sincere thanks for the great work he had done iu Montgomery. Dr. Moore took a vote to see how many peo- pie in the audience wanted Mr. Jones to visit Montgomery again in tbe next twe've mouths, and ev eryDody stood up.'' There were these men of God, pure, chaste, refined mothers, wives and daughters, all voting for the return of this man ot God. Doctor, his pulpit manners certainly did not impress them as they did you. You say I have not touched the is sue. Let the verdict come from the people and I will be content- As to the Doctor's charge, "That I sinned against charity, and brought a false charge against a brother" in what I said about his requesting the publication of his ar ticle on Sunday, or any other day. Let me quote what I said : "The Doctor then asked, as I am informed, that it be copied in a Wilmiugton paper.'' What are tbe facts, gath ered from the source to which the Doctor directed me? Dr. Pritchard iu the latter part of last week, said to the Editor: ''You asked me some time ago if I wTould write anything in regard to Sam Jones. I said, I did not know yet. I have written in Charity and Children. Look out for it." Io reference to the Sunday matter I said, "I was sorry when the Messenger stated on Saturday that tbe Doctor would appear on Suuday.'' I did not say positively the Doctor requested to have it published at all. I said I am in formed he asked it. I did not say the Doctor requested it published on Sunday. I stated a fact. I was paiued to see the notice. I was pained after the notice was given, that it appeared on Sunday. And now, JJoctor, l want to say that nothmg could ever have been fan tner irom my thougnts, tnan to call, J . 'i much less try to "prove yon ao un mitigated scoundrel." Thateouud-s ed harshly. I don't think an j body who knows me will say I would try ' to do anything like that. There; J wa3 au issue; you made it, I tried I to meet it. This art'ele eudeavors to explaiu the points made in your last article. Doctor, I honor your thirty-six years iu the ministry. I am glad tbat your charaoter is uu blemished. You have a reputation undisputed, and many a man might well rejoice to have it. I assure you that my wishes aud prayers ate for your continued happiness and suc cess in your work as preacher and pastor. I have in what I conceived to be the interests of justice to my church, my people, and iu this arti cle, my own good name. As stated before, if tbe Doctor had not writ ten, and, as he did, I should have said nothing. When he shall see fit to close the matter, I am willing, and will gladly do so. lill then, 1 shall try to give light, as I see it, it considered necessary. With kind esC feelings for all who differ from me, as well as those who agree, I close with a prayer upon tbem all. W. S. Creasy. From Wilmington Messenger. One More Word from Dr. Prienard to Ur. Creasy. Dr. Creasy says tbat I attended oeither of the meetings of the Alli ance, wheih considered the restgna of the Methodist pastors, aud tbat come one said I had gone hunting. The law does uot allow hunting in May and Juue, the months in which these meetings were held. At the first, I think I was at Wake Forest College, as a trustee of the Baptist Female Seminary. At the second, 'vas at Chapel Hill as a trustee of tbe University. I certainly wrote a letter to the Alliauce, aud I understood from tbe Rev, Mr. Peele that my letter was read. I must have misunderstood him. It not only does not wound me to beg Dr. Creasy 's pardou for reflecting on bis fairness unjustly but it really affords me pleasure to know that he knew nothing of my letter and is uot guilty of an un worthy act. But if I had written no letter my article published iu the tar, iu which I disclaimed all my discourtesy towards my Methodist brethren, ought to have protected me from the charges Dr. Creasy brings agaiust me. No, my good brother Creasy, you can't mislead the public that way. Tbe question is not between me personally, and my brother pastors, it is not between the Methodist who co-operate with Sam Jones and other churches who did not the real issue and the ouly issue be tween us is the pulqit manners of Sam Jones. As a temperance re former he would be superb and as an evangelist, I say it iu all sinceri ty, I should be delighted to work with him, if he had the manners of a Christian gentleman. I dou't want to prolong this con troversy and I think I can bring it to an issue. Here are eoine of the expressions Sam Joues used in the pulpit. "The aristocracy of Wil mington would not be allowed to sweep out the kitchens of the aris tocracy of Baltimore." "You don't approve of.'Sam Jones' ways! You blear-eyed fool!" "You hounds ot hell." You infernal hounds." Iu Norfork he said: "If you fellows hear any one abusing Sam Jones, give him ten cents and let him ride to Capt. Roper's and I'll guarantee to eat him raw as nasty as the job is.'' If any oue says Sam Jones is vulgar he is a louUmoutbed liar," "I want to say to you preachers, if you cau't swallow the whole of this carcass from head to tail, you had better take yonr hats aud go home "You damnable polecats of hell." ''You pusillanimous polecats of hell.'' Now if my Brother Creasy will take these sayings of Sam Jones, and write them off ou a piece of paper aud get down on his knees, and put his band on his heart and say, iS0 God, from my heart as a minister of Christ I endorse these pious pulpit utterances of my be loved Brother Jones,'' and will sign that; nanpr ami nnhlisli if in thp! r , ,, , t Messenaer. then I shall havft nor an other word to say.

Pol 6 and Dr. Macune, of the National Alliance, have taken extraordinary precautious to pre vent their being criticised, and to punish all papers and persons who differ from tbem or oppose Alliauce measures, by a boycott by the en tire Alliauce, said to represent a million members. This will strike mauy with hor- ror, and yet the proof of it is here ith prt. rented. Below is a secret circular issued by Coll Polk from the national headquarters in June lust, and which until now haa been a secret to tbe out fide world. Ou on side of the circular is a "circular letter" and on the other is a louj: preamble and set of reso lution :o boycott- S'jeb a blow at the f reei iota of the pr's was never before attempted in this country, nor was a; cb a blander on tbe Am erican press ever framed as is con tained in this pronunciaineuto of Col. Polk. On the back ot the circular ap pears what is beaded a "circular letter," and ou the frout, coutain. ing the seal ot the National A li ance, is the address "to the Farmers' AUiauce and Industrial Union." Here is the document in full : Circular Letter. To all members of the Farmers' Allu ance, Wheel or Union : There seems to be unmistakable ovideuee of an orgauized fight to be made ou our order by its enemies through such uewspapers as cau be nought or influenced. It is impossible for us to tell when a paper has been bought or influ enced, because such things are gem erally done in secret. The only way therefore, tbat we have ot judging to which side a paper belongs is by irs utterances. There are paid cor respondents who hatch up false hoods on the officers and works ot oar order, and publish them iu a number of small or obscure papers at the same time; theu all the pan pers that are in the ring copy the article and express their hypocrisy aud malice by sighs ot pretended righteous indignation. These lies are iu variably made from whole .loth, and have iu no case yet re ported had a shadow of truth ou which to rest. They have up to date beeu hurled at the chairroau of your national legislative committee, Brother Macune, principally, with occasional attacks on your other of ficers, but we expect, as our order develops strength aud shows tbat it is making au effective move in favor of the producers, that all en gaged iu your behalf will be slan dered without stint. For these reasons the address ou the other side of this page has beeu agreed upon. To the Farmers' Alliance and In dustrial Union : BllETlIKEN : Iu view of frequent, systematic, lalse. maliciouM and slanderous attacks made by au un scrupulous, partisau and subsidized press upon the officers, members and methods of the Alliance., aud aud while it is o;teusibly done to expose some wroug doing, the real animus is to injure and break down the influence of the Alliance, and af:er careful consideration, your ex ecutive committee have prepared the following circular, which we ak the secretaries of the State Alliann ces to forward at once to all locals for their information and action It systematic aud coucerted action in takeu we shall not be troubled long with t bis class of abuse: WHLfiEAs, It has become clearly evident tbat certain papers of the paiiisa.u press of the countrv have been ciubsidizad by corrupt power for the purpose of defeating the ef tortu auil purposes of the great far mers' movement ; aud WnEEKAS, It is also clearly appar ebt that one of the methods to be tuiulos h to traduce and render the om'cers and other proaiiueLt aud 4urlucIi,i(ll mfcmbets of our or- der, with tbe view of destroying the confidence of the membehip m their appoiuted leaders and friends; and Wueeeas, This cowardly mode of warfare is waged against tneM brethren, however true and loyal they may be, whatever their char acter as men and as citizens ; and Whereas, Many of these slan derous papers live and move and have their being iu tbe support of the farmers, the men whom they would thus traduce and defeat; and Whxbias, While ve should respect and defend the freedom of the press only o far as that freedom shall be exercised ou the side of truth and good government, and should con demn it when empl)ed as an en. gine of corruptiou ; therefore be it Jiesolved, Tuat we earnestly rec ommend aud urge the brotherhood throughout the conutry to note carefulh and constantly the attw tude of the press toward bs, and wtm auy paper by vicious aud ma bcious misrepresentation of any otflcer of whatever rauk, from the lowest to the highest in our order, or any member of the same, or by unfair methods against our Older, shall seek to impair our strength or unity, that any and all such papers shall no lenger receive in any man ner the couuteuauce aud support ot" members of our order. Resolved further, Tbat wheu any body ot our order shall decide to withdraw or withhold its support from auy such paper, it should by proper methods notify any and all advertisers who eek their patrou age through the advertiedug col uraus of said paper that they will withdraw and withhold their pas tronage from all such advertisers. Mesolved, That the president bo requested to cause a sufficient uum bee of copies of these resolutions t bo printed, one for each subordinate body of our order, and forward the required number for each State to the respective State secretaries for immediate distrinution to the sub ordinate bodies, and a copy to each of the State officers. Resolved, That the pnsident be requested to send a copy to eah State president, aud request that he communicate it officially to the State body at its first tesiou, and ask its favorable action thereon.

Employer und Kuiploye. We once knew a cottou mill su perintendent who seemed to have au e:isy time of it. A woolmi mill t-uperiutendeilt who eu vied him his position asked him what was the most difficult thing about cottou mill superintending, when he dryly auswered, "Gelling thn position." From our observation we should nay that keeping a positiou after it was obtained was the most difficult pars of the undertaking. Few peopl deliver iu the shape ot service what they bargaiu to deliver, huan we see good men secure good positions uid keep theui for a ynr or two, aud then lose them. Thev wfere. not discharged and they did not leave. "Big head" is sometimes the cause; big head seldom fjiv. s oue dollar's worth for a dollar, hence dissatisfaction follows; big head gets so important that he thiuks rime tables were not made for him. In fact, he sometimes gets more important thau hi.- employer ; wheu he gets to this sfue he is ripe, and should quit and get a position as an oil drummer. There is another class of meu who are smart euougb, bat they have always soaiti business outside of the mill to aUeud to. Iu fact, they are trying to serve two masters equally well, aud no one has yet succeeded in doing it. The result is, the time table is neglect ed, aud pay day looked for as if it was the most important thtug iu life, all of which is noticed by the employer, and the employe is put iu the balance aud fouud wauting, and a change of position is the re sult, bringing a lo.vs to both parties. A great macy good men lose posi tions because tbey do uot give a dollar's worth for a dollar. This may come about iu many different ways, but no matter what the cause employer and employe suffer alikt both in Uiiud aud fiuauces, and there is a breaking up of homes and changes to new localities, all of which could be avoided by a proper understanding ot what cous stitutes thine and mine.
