Some demanded a change in the heading
tf our ppr, and are pleased with its
present appearance. Others do sot like it.
What is to be done ? This must and 'can
be dune. Let one hundred n.cn send each
525 to the Publishing Fundexcept Father
Pious Gripe, froui whom wo expect $.j0.)
"We will then he enabled next year to do
cur own Publishing, to purihase a!l nces
rarj material, to ei.Iirge ue paper a little
and to get an electro-type heading with
"North Carolina Christian Advocate", in
full, large eler tyjo, and to hsve all other
ppurtenaaces ia dueord -r.
It is proper, in this connection, to state
that the ruanner.in which our publisher is
isiuing the paper gives general satisfac
tion. The "'ill tide of the paper cannot
be gotten in with type of the size generally
approved.
Our Old Friend, Again.
Father l'ious Gripe this week surpasses
himself. Wc feel our heart warming to
ward him. lie is sensitively alive to the its
jn-runi't, aiid to the - credit of North Car
olina. If be will borrow a pair of specta
cles, he wU' be enabled to see "North
Carolina," all about in the paper, which
will be a great relief to his patriotic old
heart ; whi!? we shall at the same time
flourish in his good opinion of our economy
to such &b extent as to encourage a san
guine expsctstion of that donation to the
Publishing Fund.
We shall be glad to hear from him every
week. Rut when the aged speak, the
young should be silent. We stop just
here, therefore, and refer the reader to
Father Grip..
"Sermoas to Young Men.
Rev. N. F. Ileid will preach, in the
Methodist Church of this City, on next
Sunday evening, a sermon to young men.
This ia the first-of a series, to be contin
ued, on Suudy evenings. Thi3 design
was announce! ' j. number of weeks ago,
but lias been delayed by the inclemency
of the weather. The preacher, the theme,
the end aimed at, all bespeak a full and
regular attendance of the young men of
the.itr.
Greensboro' FemaJe College.
Ia reply to inquiries as to terms, &e. of
Greensboro' Female College, we refer to
the advertisement ia to-day's paper.
A few words about this institution.
Others are good; we think this is tho
best in the laud : others we commend, and
commend heartily; but Greensboro' Fe
male College stauds first in our estimation
and in our affections. It is the oldest
school of its grade ia the whole South ; it
has steadily advanced for years in the fa
cilities and finish of complete education.
The President we know well. A finished
scholar, a polished gentleman, his own re
tiring modesty forbids us to speak of him
as we could .wish to do, for the sake'of
those who have flacghtexs to educate : yet
we must be permitted to say that he is
just the man for the place he fills. The
corps of teachers is complete and accom
plished ; aud in every respect the College
is all that the warmest friends of Female
Education could desire it tc be.
There are now sixty-two boarders and
twenty day scholars in the College : not
half the number there ought to be. In a
private letter before .tis, the President
says: "Our church has so many institu
tions to sustain, that we cannot reasonably
expect a very large patronage just at this
time, wjkea so many are so deeply inte
rested ia other institutions." Yes ; and
" our church" has had to sustain a winter
f unparalleled severity. Their daughters,
nd the preachers all of whom are agents
and friends of the College, have been
frozen in at home. And they were re
pelled from a trip to Greensboro' at such
a season, by the dread of bad roads aad a
tedious, hanafsing journey by stage
coaches. But now,. the winter will soon
be gone, the preachers are getting about
among their charges, and the cars are run
ning to Greensboro'. "The church has
many ios-iitations to .sustain." Yes, and
she can sustain them iL North Carolina,
and particularly the Methodist Church in
North Carolina, is notable for the number
of her daughters. She has multitudes of
them. They lighten the horizon of the
future like a. northern uurora lorcah's as
bright -and as beautiful, but not no evanes
cent. Greensboro' College can be filled
with them, and ihe other institutions all
be sustained, and still the cry will he
they come." Hence President Jonea
does srell to state, as he does in the letter
before alluded to, that when the spring'
opens, the large additional buildings of
the College will be commenced. Let them
be erected speedily. They will be needed.
The Conference and the country will stand
by this cherished institution. There is
but one thing that can happen unto it,
aud that is, abundant prosperity.
A Mistake. Trade at Eome.
La-t week we published a list of Visit-j Of trade, as it maybe affected by tri5
Inz Committer, from the Richmond Ad-! and oth-r political contrivance and que
vwate. annointed bv Pishop Andrew, and lions, this paper has not the inclination
forwarded to that paper. j
.Several months have massed since Con-:
fnr nrmo. vhl,h the lii-hrm has had i
upon him "the care of all the churches."!
More pressing duties having occasioned
Lim to defer so long the appointment of!
the committees ordered by Conference, and ;
relying upon memory alone, have caused
him to fall into some errors.
Doubtless these errors occurred from !
the ctuses indicated, and in due time j
Bishop Andrew will correct them. Nor j
a.r.nl 1 nr.; t, rnittrr t H .ut for!
the fact that this mistake has excited some j
uneasiness, particularly in lajetteviUe. j
The citizens of that town having estab-!
llshed a school of the best grade for the'
education of their daughters, have very 'j
wisely called lUv. W. R. Fell to preside J
over it. We say wisely, becauia, although
we regrst to lose him from the pastoral
work, we believe he 13 well qualified for
the position he now occupies.
The Fayetteville High School is not a
denominational institution; all the denom
inations of Christians thereabouts assisted
in its foundation. Now, however, a fear
seems to be entertained, not by the friends,
but the enemies of the School, that Rev.
William E. Pell will compel or impel the
vmmnr- hiflifts into Methodism. And an
attempt has been made to create the hn- that we have done full justicatolns claims,
predion that the N. C. Conference and j Wilmington is entitled to a large portion
the Bishops assume to exercise some con- of the commerce of the State. In loca
trol over the institution. Because this j tion, stock, enterprise and liberality, that
otherwise harmless mistake of Bishop An-1 growing city is entitled to a liberal cash visi-
drew is bein- perverted to -ive plausibil-'
drew is bein0 pervertea to Dive p ausion
ity to such misrepresentations, and to em-!
barrass the gentlemen who have the deep-
est interest in the School, we take occa
sion to state that the North Carolina Con
fcre.ee assumss and exercises no control j
whatever over it, did not appoint a com-j
mittee to visit it, and expects Rev. W. E.
Pell to act in perfect good faith to all who
are interested in that institution.
Since writing the above, the following
11. u
note 01 correction cas oeen reeciTeu, wnii-u
speaks for itself. We insert it with plea
sure, and hope that the matter will be
fully understood and all will be satisfied.
To the Editor of the X. C. Ch. Advocate :
Dkau Sir : I was not a little surprised
to see on yesterday in the Richmond Chris
tian Advocate, and to-day in your paper,
that in the lisst of literary institutions to
which Bishop Andrew has appointed Vis
iting Committees, he included the " Fay
etteville High School." Such appoint
ments, I believe, are never made, except
at th request of the Trustees or author-
mistake as to appoint such a Committee to
,1 .. f.f TI- , e 1 i -.i J
the " layctteville High School, iutkot
invitation or request, I can account for
o r ""'-- "
only in this way. The oScers of a num
ber of the Schools requested the Confer
ence to appoint Visiting Committees. Ow
ing to the pressure of business, the Bishop,
as the presiding officer of the body who
usually appoints Committees, did not do
so during the session, but waited until his
return home, when, not having at hand a
list of those institutions which made the
request, by mistake inserted "Fayetteville
High School" id the place. of some other.
The proper authorities of the Goldsboro'
College did request the appointment . of a
Visiting Committee to that institution, but
I perceive its name has been omitted in
the list. The Fayetteville Female High
School made no such request ; so far from
it, I distinctly stated before the Confer
ence that th institution was owned and
sustained by gentlemen who were .mem
bers of the different churches, and by
those who were not connected with any
church ; that it was a echeol for the com
munity, and was not and could not be sec
tarian ; and that the Trustees did not ask
or desire either the endorsement or patron
age of the Conference.
I regret the mistake, a no doubt .the
Bishop will when he discovers it, as it
places us.awkwardly before the public; for,
as you well know, there would be as much
propriety in the Bishop's appointment of a
Visiting Committee to the University of
North Carolina as to the Fayetteville Fe
male High School. The Conference and
the Bishop have as much to do with the
one as the other.
I confess I am a little sensitive on this
subject, as this is the second time I have
had to make a correction, in order to re
fute the charge which has been made, and
which, perhaps, some not very friendly
persons to either are anxious should be be
lieved, viz. that the Fayetteville Female
High School is a sectarian institution, and
that the North Carolina Conference is seek
ing to control it a charge which, in whole
or in part, I take the responsibility to de
clare, is a groundless (and, I fear, ia some
cases, a malicious) fabrication.
I wish to be understood. I attach bo
blame to any one who has unwittingly laid
on me the necessity of making these cor
rections. In both casea, I am sure, they
are simply mistakes. Yours, &c.

we Lave caned attention to commercial
houses out of the State, because they a 1-
vertise in our columns ; we have looked
into their basinet-houses, been treated
liberally and courteously, know our people

that if they will do this, they will do well j

all that are represented in our advertising j
columns. Rut it is Dot to be inferred, aa
one of our best friends in Wilmington
seems to fear it may be, that on this account
we are unfriendly to the interests of home
trade. In the very Dotices complained of
we plainly intimated our preferences for
North Carolina, in trade as well as in every
thing else. Business men who do not ad
vertise in this paper, have no right to com
plain, if we call attention toadvertisements
sent and paid for, whether from Virginia j
or Van Ricman's Land.
The friend alluded to of course does not
complain on his own account, as a closer
! examination of our columns will show him
tation from all the country merchants. A j
j -w.i, !
better population than that of Whmington
does not exist in this union.
Fayetteville, near the head 01 navigation j

i North Carolinian blush toanythousands

, -
turning the balance of traae against us,
and sustaining rival interests to the "detri
ment of home.
Rut could country merchants supply them
selves with complete stocks in our home
markets '! Our advertising columns, with
a single exception give no response to this
inquiry an inquiry which has met us
again and again. And if we were silent
also, no one would have a right to complain.
But we love North Carolina better than

his protest against the nortnwaru current
that sweeps our resources into the pockets
of men who wax fat and kick us.
In Wilmington, in Fayetteville, and
upon the completion of the rail road, in
Newbern and in Beaufort, country mer
chants can meet a safe market for country
produce, and get every article they may
need to complete their own stock in trade.
They need not doubt this. By a fixed law
of trade, the supply is equal to the demand.
And merchants in cur home markets will
be impelled by interest and inclination to
offer as good terms as can be met elsewhere.
As a public journalist we have felt at
liberty to indulge in these suggestions, and
may at a convenient time speak of the re
ciprocal influence of commerce and reli-
trion a fruitful and more congenial theme.
Christian Perfection-!
The Bibla doctrine of Christian Perfec
tion, as guarded, held and taught by th
Methodists, is the leaven that is destined
to leaven the lump, to pervade and purify
the church of God.
The question for every Christian is, not
with how little religion he can escape hell,
but under the economy of grace, and alone
by the effect of blood-bought grace upon
his heart, how much of the holiness of
heaven he can obtain on his pilgrimage to
heaven. When a proper answer to this
question is obtained from the word of God,
no -matter by what name the blessing Is
called, whether it be "holiness of heart,"
or "assurance of faith," or the "interior
life," it is substantially what we mean by
the terms "Christian Perfection."
The Methodists in the days of John
Wesley, were the first to revive this doc
trine, and to restore it to its proper rela
tive position in the system of religion
taught by the scriptures.
It was regarded as a peculiar sectarian
dogma of the people called Methodists,
and for teaching is they were violently op
posed by other churches. It is no longer
peculiar to us. It is spreading in other
churches. They speak the truth on this
matter, with a brogue, a sort of foreign
pateis, not perceptible in those to the
"manor born." They encumber and con
fuse it somewhat by an additional recur
rence of some old chronic doctrinal error,
to which they have been addicted. We
may mention Upham's "Interior Life," as
a sample of what we mean. Nevertheless,
we rejoice to know that they speak the
truth on the main question, and manifest
a kindling, yearning desire after the great
est possible attainments in the divine life.
But how is it with ourselves ? Onr doc
trinal standards remain ; our tows are ro-
corded; andifa.ll thee wrelostin oblivion, j
"the word of the Lord which endareth j
forever,' renins still to teach the doctrine 1

Singular Exposition.
Mi. Editor : A Baptist minister, (one
of the mea who are alone authorized to
administer the ordinances of the church,)
in one of the upper counties of Georgia,
gave his congregation the following expo -
sition of our Saviour's entry into Jenisa -
lem : " The Jews were Tery much opposed
to ths Saviour's coming to Jerusalem, and
throiced all the obstacles they could in his
way ; and now, whea he was about to ride
in, they fixsfc tried to stop up his icay with
palm leaves, but finding this would not do,
they actually pulled off their coats and
throwfd them along in the road, to try to
slceer his critter." Iron WnxiL.
