that Bishop Andrews Of The Methodist r..
pIscopaI church, is alike distinguished to,
his plety and talents. In late number
OF the South Western Christian Advocate
we fad letter written by hun, repIetr
with sound sentiments, from which we
make the following extract:

THE RACES.j

The first race over the Nood-Pecke
Course, on the plantation of Mr.. Georg'
w. Stigler, in this county, come off OF
the Cd instant, which we had the pleasure
of Witnessing. A large crowd assembled
10 see and enjoy the sport. The day was
clear and the track in pretty good order.
Four horses were started-a bay horse
by Mr.. Ledbeuer; a sorrell flly by Mr..
Stigler; a gray horse, by Mr.. Adams, our
fellow townsman, and gray b. Mr.. Pen
der. See them prancing up to the poles
in gallant trim! Now clear the way!-
Hip, hip; hurrah-Now they go!--Ad-
ans horse bounds off with the grace and
feetness of the Antelope If he has bot
tom he must be successful. High hopes
are entertained for him. But be is fury
and unmanageable, and is presently seen
careering wildly over the field. He has
bolted and thrown his rider. What horse
is that bringing up the rear! 1t is the
Pender gray. HeImoyes as if he had
long journey before him, and was for
outstanding his strength. Some of the
fancy say he is holding back for bite
others that old gray had by some unforn-
nate accident, missed the plough for the
turf. we are not sufficient jockey to
determine which was right But so it is
he was dead slow, and had no show for
the plate. The contest is now between
the other two, and wakes interesting
The bay horse gently leading, but the fill

was no time 10 play. On the back

liant bay, if you would sustain your char
acter, you must put forth all your powers
to this call, he nobly responded, dashed
by his adversary, swept through the
poles some feet ahead, and is proclaimed
victor. The distance was mile and
made in good time.
There was some poney races that were
amusing, but too numerous to record in.I
detail.
Much credit is due Mr.. Stigler, for his
public spirit in getting up the track and
