DAILY NEWBERNIAN. Seth M. Cabfenteb, Editor. NEW BERNE, N. C., MAY 31, 1874. Tor gtmexintendent of Public Instruction : COL. STEPHEN D. POOL or Cbaven ECCLESIASTICAL MANIFESTATIONS. No one who studies closely and philosophi cally the different phases of public sentiment, can be indifferent to the changing and restless tides of religious feeling. The Southern branch of the great Methodist connection has just terminated its General Conference in the city of Louisville. A distinguished episode of that convention, was the exchange of fraternal greetings between the Northern Commissioner sent to that body, and the entire representa-j tion of the Southern Methodisf Church; f Noj one canrea.d (the pathetic, thrilling speeches of those Commissioners, filled with the true spirit of the Gospel of Jesus, replete with the tenderest i offers of reconciliation and brotherhood, putting behind the dark screen of the vanished years all hostility and bitterness, and striking hands over the honored graves of Asbury and Wesley, through weal and woe, for the trials and strug gles of the future, without having every gener ous drop of blood in his body leap with patriotic ardor. They did not go there for organic union, ; for both sides know that that is , utterly! impos sible. . They went there to bury strife and be come friends, and they gloriously accomplished their mission. There is something superbly inspiriting to see those old men, the war horses of the dark days of 1844, who enlisted the great talents of Webster and of Choate to argue their legal difficulties, and who struck the first ter rible blow upon the strong rivets which bound the Union together, now standing up with their gray haira under the "weeping: willows past, and grasping each others hands i felt unity and peace. In looking scene, we naturally ask ourselves the who are the men who are keeping infernalrfire of division between the of the in a heart- upon tne question, alive jthis Sections ? The soldiers of Lee and Grant would have recon ciled and rehabilitated the country long ago, if they could have been allowed the opportunity. '.The truly religious people of the nation, as the foregoing incident shows, would have done the same thing. The question then recurs, who are the fatal agitators ? The answer is, difficulties among its own members Its antag onists "throng the air, darken heaven and rule this lower world." Fortunately, the Presbyte- rian Church has as clear a recorctdn this subject as any other ecclesiastical organisation in the world. '.. . i. and Protestant Episcopal Cfeturfentlon Convention called to ortfet at l0;o'clock ' ai opened with prayer by Bishop Atkinson. ; PfrtvWHnwi of vesterdav were read and, after - Q . . . ! ;f being amended in several unimpdrtant particu lars, they were adopted. . i Bishop Atkinson read a charge to the clergy (it being made the duty ofhe Bishop to deliver a charge pnee in three years,: unless a reasonable cause nrevehtsTthsfxoain ppid which was BacramentaVcone said prevailed VO a cunsuexyio;--j , 1 ."7 tiAA 'AArrtii aCTainst Vrhicirlfe tstrong odDrniiig it nnftnthonzed'' and 1Senuci6usfarid' he further said that auricular confession betng established, the more frequent the sin . in hope of speedy pardon;' that it was a most essential and' active influence to crime. t-: ; .-. , f .

EL Battle seconding them: - . ;: Eesolved, 1. That the members o this Dioce san Convention pledge their faithful and earnest support to every proper measure which may be adopted by the General Convention pf the Church tending to banish and drive awy from this church all erroneous andstrange doctrines; to maintain uniformity of service at heri altars, and to suppress excess or defects-bf ritual in her worship.' : " ' ' 2. That' we solemnly, protest against any change in the liturgy of this church as n0w pre scribed in the Book of Common P,rayer-a lit urgy venerable in its antiquity, and in ,which, we are persuaded, there is nothing contrary to sound doctrine and which may not he concluded and proved by Holy Scripture. An J election for deputies to General Conven tion was then had, the vote being taken by par ishes, with the following result: : Clerical Bev. A. A. Watson, D D., Rev. Al- mean, mercy, mind, fanatipal politicians; and may God, in his soon send fhem repentance and a better or give them fire and brimstone without measure. The Presbyterian Church has been having its difficulties in the trial of Dr. Swing for " -." " -''" j . i heresy, schism and a hundred other Unministe- rial delusions. The investigation of the charges against the Bev. gentleman, has resulted in his acquittal before the bar of the highest tribunal of his church. Nevertheless, Dr. Swing now announces his withdrawal from the connection. He has written a very touching letter to his brethren, declaring that he is tired of theolog ical controversy and personal recrimination, and that he wants rest from the fierce storm of po lemical strife. -We. think the whole matter is highly creditable Tto the Dr. and to 1;he 'ruling powers of the Presbyterian church. If there was no peace for him in his former ecclesiasti cal relations, he ought by all mean to go where he can find peace. The Church is no place for gladiatorial combat, and no theatre for the mis erable subterfuges of personal spite and malice. ; If a person cannot exert his- full capacity for usefulness, without being hectored, persecuted and abused by the restless emissaries; of j Satan, who steal the liverv of Heaven to serve the Devil in, let him seek better quarters The highest authorities of . Dr. Swing's church judged him justly and strictly, as holy men will always , do, and despite his enemies and persecutors, Tfpund him guiltless of the charges brought against him. The Church of Christ j had better be engaged in better work, in these degenerate days, than in instituting trials and fomenting bert Smedes, D. D., Rev. J. C. Huske Bev. Jar vis Buxton, D.

Cnrians Ilclics of a Bjecne Age, From Switzerland, under date of April 16, we haTe the. following interesting jcoxnmunicatiop: Ten minutes walk from the railway station of Thayngen, in the canton of Schaffhauserv Switzi erlahd, and in the immediate vicinity of the railway, there is a cavern, commonly called Kesserlocb, which means "the tinkers, or, rather. . "the gypsies' hole." Two teachers of Thayngen, Messrs Merk and jWepf, began tb dig there last winter, hoping ta find some rem nants of a far bygone age. They fcrand much more than they could even hare dreamed of. Havinff dus about ten inches, they found fa black stratum, humus and limestone, baked to gether, and beneath that a redish! one. Both strata contained an enormous number of objects, being clear witnesses of that cavern having been inhabited bv several generations ot trogioay tes. The writer of these lines saw last week twelve chests full of those antiquities, and, .besides thiSj, the floors of three apartments strewed with the most valuable articles. Teeth of the mammoth, a tusk' of the ' same animalj' which, however, broke into splinters; bones of , the: ursus spelaeus of the hyena, or the wolf, of the norse, tne nare, etc;, were found, some in a pretty petrified con dition, others still showing the primitive struc ture. But the most' valuable objects are knive and chisels made of flint, needles, harpoons ajd nfliPT ihRtrnments made of reindeer, bones, or naments made of horn and smoothed charcoal And last, but not least, polished bones contain- inff engraved reindeer and horses, tne neaas.oi which are admirably well made, while the bodies ate : too long and too stiff: Many visitors hate made their appearance from bwitzeriana, jer- many and France, who have declared, this spot to De one 01 tne ncnesi mmw w .uv. ;, The treasure will be divided between the two gentlemen and the museum of Schaffausen. J Another cavern, distant about two miles Irom the above mentioned one, has also been searched through, but the yield so far has tively small. ' ... I been comparjt- I if. too hastily by Wedded Souls. . The marriage state is entered many entered before the judgment has fairly ripened. Contracts of this kind should be made to last forever. There is a touching little story in the Apocrypha about a young man and wp? man who were just married and ready to start together on their untried career, and this ws their first -cry to heaven, when! the wedding guests had gone, and they were left alone in their chamber: Mercifully ordain that we may grow old together. " r If all young married and strive to would not life the great nat woman ; and folks would utter such a prayer; render its fulfillment possible, be sweeter for many ? Audubon, uralist. married a good, sweet RVift beffan to find him out,' she found that he would wander off a thousand miles in quest of a bird. She said "Amen! - and went with him. camped in the woods,5 lived ' in log huts and shanties on ; the frontier, anywhere to be with him. She -entered into his ? entnusiasm. shared his labor, r and counted all things but loss for the excellency. o the, glory pf being Aur dubon wife. Wheh $ the children began io come to them he- had to wander pfif alone; biit he could not go. into a valley iso deep or wilder ness so distant that the . light would not - shine on him out of their windows, j He knew exactly where he would find her, and how she would look; for while, as Buskin reminds us, the clouds are never twice alike, the sunshine s alwavs familiar, and it was sunshine he saw when1 he looked homewardj Sliei understood if triAant to " errow ased together.
