eaumeratihg the points Of difference

precateS what IL calls MIR. Calhoun's

out, would be fraught with infinite mis-

Mr.Calhoun and his friends here seem
TO be incredulous. They assert that

truth OF every Imputa'ion Of alliances in

say that IL Col. Preston shall attempt 60
make trial Of personal strength with

Preston and hts party must fall they
deny that the people OF the state are
with Preston and that he has too much
good sense 10 engage in q war which
must terminate in deseriion Of his prio-
ciples and party, and so directly in vio-
laiion Of :he pledges under which he

On the other hand. those who profess
TO know PrsSton's views and feelings,
say that he IS impatient Of the restraint
IN which he has been placed; that

daughter OF the late Wade Hampton, he
can command money: that the family

The Synod Of Virgins, which as
sembled IN our village on the 9th inst.
adjourned on Tuesday last, after an un-
usually interesting and important ses-
sion.
The most important subject which
engaged the attention of the Synod,
Was the excelsior of the four Synods in
Ohio and New York, by the last Gen.
eral Assembly. The debate on this
subject, extending through two entire
days, was quite able, and though very
animated, was conducted in a frank
courteous, christian spirit. There were
none Of those fierce, fist-and skull rem
counters, which have too often been
exhibited. TO the scandal Of religion,
by theological bruisers in their Jealous
contentious for the faith once deliver
ed TO the saints. Neither did we wit
ness any indications Of that snarling,
arrogant, acrimonious spirit, which is
said peculiarly to characterize the
wranglings OF gentlemen of the black
coat. There was little 20 which any
one could take ust exception, while
there was much TO commend in the
gentlemanly bearing of the speakers
towards each other. They neither
qusrrelled nor fought, nor blackguard
ed each other; they conducted them.
selves very much like gentlemanly sin
ners are accustomed TO do on similar
occasions; which is no mean praise in
these days Of angry sectarian contro-
yerSy.
The Synod sustained The excision Of
the Synods by a large majori,y.-the
vote being, we believe, 100 to 10.
Against this decision the minority
We understand. entered solemn Pro-
test upon the Journal.
4 OF the other proceedings of the Sy-
nod we are no, accurately advised, ex-
cept that the resolution, passed at the
last meeting Of Synod, recommending
the Southern Religious Telegraph to
the patronage Of the Church, was re-
scinded by small majority, and the
'Walchman of the South recommend
ed 10 public patronage in its stead
The preaching 50 far as we heard il
was quite good. The Rev. Mr.. Arm
strong's sermon on Sunday morning
was one OF the finest specimens Of
pulpit eloquence We recollect ever 10
have heard.
The Synod holds its next annual
meeting in Staunton.
