sd9- The Wing and Advocate, printed at Sasbu-
ry, is by far the most abusive sheet in North Caro-
lima Its manner of assailing the Banner, of the
same place. is positively disgusting. Wilson, of the
lattor journal, throws in hot shot now and then
meets such arguments as advanced in the Wing,
retorts in very bitter strain, and gives evil
dence generally of disposition to avoid PERSONAL
ties, which the Wing will not permit him do; and
so the RACES to the decided disadvantage, as we
think, of the Wing. The truth is, more than
suspect that fearing Wilson's influence with his pen
a determination formed among certain Wings
in that region to put him down drive him out
and the Wing selected to carry out this deter
mination. But this movement will end in smoke
The Banner is constantly increasing in circulation
as we trust it will continue to do Wilson is one of
the best writer's in the profession and is gentleman
and an honest man. Nothing which the Wing can
say can affect his character in the estimation of just
and intelligent men.

SINGULAR STATEMENT RELIGIOUS PAPER. The

holds the following remarkable language on scept
cism and reform:
Among all the carnest-minded young men who are
at this moment leading in thought and action in
America, venture to say that four-ffths scep
teal even of the great historical facts of Christian
ity.
What is told as Christian doctrine by the church
is not even considered by them. And furthermore
there ssamong them general il-conccacd distrust
of the clerical body class, and utter disgust with
the very aspect of modern Christianity and of the
church worship This sceptcism is not fippant;
little is said about it. 1t is not popularity alone of
the radicals and fanatics many of them men of
calm and even balance of mind, and belong to no
class of utraists 1t is not worldly and selfish The
doubters lead in the bravest and most sclfdenying
