BISHOP PIERcE.-A correspondent of
the Petersburg Express, giving an account
of the proceedings of the Virginia Confer
ence at Elizabeth city, speaks as follows
of Bishop Pierce's speech before the Con-
ference Missionary meeting:
"Bishop Pierce made one of the most
powerful appeals we have ever listened to-.
1t was, however, only in keeping with the
Bishops wide spread reputation as finish
ed orator He makes no apparent effort to
excite his hearers, but the man who can
listen to him in the pulpit without being
moved. must be wanting in those high en-
dowments which distinguish his species.
| have heard great many speeches. but
Bishop Pierce, for effectiveness is in my
Judgment without rival. He preached
on Sunday morning Pentecostal sermon
from the words: 1--WE preach not ourselves,
but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves
vour servants for Jesus sake
Bishop Pierce presides at the session OF
the n. C. Conference which convenes in
Goldsboro O-mOrrOw.

THE N, G. BANKS.

The last Chester IS. c. Standard replies
to our article of week before last, wherein
we objected to the language used by the
Standard with regard to the notes of the
Banks of this State. We are pleased to
find that the Standard does not entertain as
much feeling against our Banks as we in
ferred from its previous article. We only
noticed its remarks because we believed
the inSinuations therein contained uni Just
and wrong. A comparison of the opera
tions of the Banks of North Carolina with
those of South Carolina impressed US with
the belief that the notes of the former were
as good (if not better) as those of the latter
State; and especially was this impression
strengthened in view of the statement, by
the Charleston Standard, that the Bank of
the State of South Carolina, at the time of
suspension, had twelve dollars in circula
ton to one of specie in its vaults. There
is no Bank in this State in as bad condition
as that.
But the Standard says it was prompted
to speak of the matter not from any doubts
as to the solvency of our Banks, but from
the fact that the S. G.. Banks, and some of
the merchants, refuse to take their notes
on deposit or in payment for goods; and
further, that the Charlotte and 5. G. Rail-
road refuses to take them in payment of fare.
And the Standard very pertinently asks
the questions: when your own Railroad
discredits your Bank bills, how can you
complain of us % There is considerable
point in the question, and we could wish it
were otherwise. But the Standard must
remember that it is not 'your" (our) Rail-
road by great deal-only short distance
of it being within the bounds of this State.
We were somewhat surprised at the state
ment of the Standard, and upon inquiry
learned that they will take n. G. Notes at
the Depot III this town but at no other
place.
We do not pretend to be the peculiar
apoligists of the Banks of this State-we
neither ask or receive any tavors from
them--but then we know that they are as
good as any in the country, and much better
than the majority, and therefore we do not
intend to remain silent when they are un-
derrated.
We are pleased with the tone of our
South Carolina cotemporary's article, and
are cratifed to hear him say that he be-
lieves our notes as good as any, although,
| for the reasons mentioned they cannot be
used as readily as those of his own State.
