BISHOP IVES, DIssENTERs," &c.

IL wv
/ Mr. EDITOR Among the important developments
of this progressive age, have observed with som e
curiosity the learned controversy being waged
I between the Hon. Bishop" Badger, L. l.. D. of
Wake County, and the Right Rev. Bishop Ives,
ID. d. of North Carolina.
But as this is entirely family QUARREL of their own
gettng up, these distinguished gentlemen and their
respective friends may think it not only ocIous but
impertinent for " outsiders to interfere in their do
mestc broils. think so too therefore care not how
eloauently or sarcastcay they discuss the point,
what the English prayerbook, the American prayer
book Rome Hooker, St. Agustine Ravenscroft any
body else teaches, respecting Presty confession and
absolution-we, the people, Ggnorant though we beg
have the Bible, the revealed word of God, and con-
tent in obed fence to His commands, to confess our
sins and seek forgiveness from Him, and Him alone
But in reading Bishop Ives Z" Pastoral Letter. we
have been struck in speaking of his branch of the
Catholic Church, that he also talks about unautho-
rized teaching,' " dissenters,' &c. Will you
therefore allow the enquiry of yourself, or any
possessing the desired information what the Bishop
means bv unauthorized teachings? and who are
Sc dissenters -? Now every school boy knows that
in England, where the State supports a Church, by
enacting laws exacting thes from the rich and poor,
and comforting livings ministers of a particular
sect, that those who differ in religious faith from
this State establishment, are sometimes called Dis
senters; but we have not yet seen 1t othclally
or otherwise announced that there is any alliance
between Church and Sta e in North Carolina or that
CONGRESS has thrown the protecting arm OF the law
around any particular Church, making its {" teach
ings'' the authorized established religion of the ma
ton thereby causing any to dissent from it, Who
then, we would again ask, are these " "dIssenters
the Bishop refers to in this land of civil and religious
freedom /? and from whom and what do they dissent?
Or can it be, that this term is employed in the COM
mon parance, as well the authorized teachings OF
certain Glass; in order famiarZe the minds OF the
peope-prepare them it may be, for some future po-
tical schemes and developments, uniting the Church
and State and establishing amongst here an eccle
siastica tyranny and desposm, such as once caused
our sires to quit their father land. We want more
liobt-we ask for information on this subject. =.

The WH1e CAucus-STANLY OF NORTH CARO-
LIMA. The New York papers are lifting the veil from
the proceedings of this body, which was held in
Washington the Saturday preceding the meeting OF
Congress. After it was organized, Mr.. Toombs' OF
GEORGIA. offered resolution to this effect:
\ .sResolued, That we will dscountenance and op-.
pose all legislation by Congress on the subject of
Slavery in the Territories in the District of CO.
lumbia."
The reading of the resolution was hre-brand un-
exnectedlv thrown in the midst of the Whg camp,
and it produced great excitement Extraordinary as
it NAV seem, Edward Stanly, of North Carolina, was
the first to rise and to lay it on the table, and
other Southern Wings took the lead in opposing 1t.
After such base betrayal of the rights of the South
by men protesting to be her representatives, what
rght have we to expect that our claims will be res
pected by the designing fanatics of the North
Norfolk .argus.

Pontment of the Hon. Jno. II. Bryan, Chairman, and
b. b. Smith, Secretary. General Saunders, on behalf
OF the Delegation from the County of Wake, to the
Greensborough Convention, made a highly satisfac-
tory report of the proceedings of said Convention
and then entertained the meeting for the space of two
hours, in speech repete with sound argument, and
thrilling eloquence in favor of the great Central Rail
Road scheme, the successful completion of which
the General most conclusively demonstrated to the

SAD News FROM THE ARMY. We learn thatintel-
igence has been received at the War Department of
the death of two young officers lately attached the
Fourth Military Department of the army. On the
26th of September last, Brevet Captain w. H. War
ner, of the Typographical Engineers, was murdered
MIA; and on the 10th October, Brevet Capt. Herman
Thorn, of the second infantry while in command of
the escort with the collector for the district of Mon
terey, drowned whilst crossing the Colorado rv
er, near the mouth of the Gila. The Indians who
made the attack upon Capt. Warner consisted of a
party of twenty-fye and they shot.him down whilst
he was leading command, eight arrows having en-
tered his body, and passing entirely through it.
The loss of these meritorious officers will be severely
felt, not only in their corps, but in the whole
Service, and particularly that portion of it serving
on the Pacific. Net. LntelEgencer.

We may observe here that the sentiments contain
ed in all the Regular Toasts not suited to all
present. The Dinner was intended as personal
compliment to Judge Saunders, and hence gentlemen
of all shades of opinion willing to contribute to
it. In connection with the Regular Toast about the
Rail Road, we are sure, if our fellow-citzen James
B. Shepard had been present when it was read, he
could not have assented to it. Mr.. Shepard and
is still opposed to the construction of Rail Roads,
built either entirely partially at the public expense
and with the public money; and most especially to the
action of the last Legislature in regard the subject
of Internal Improvement.
