Gs-A regulation Of the Michigan agricultural
college at Lansing provides that the clergymeu
Of the town may preach to the students in turn
on Sundays in the college chapel. Lately the
Universalist clergyman has been made an excep-
ton by the faculty and the consequence is seri-
Gus excitement among the students and the cit
izens, who denounce the attempt to transform
the college into a sectarian institution.
9s- The long standing custom of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, which requires its cler-
gymen to change their pastoral residence every
two years, is threatened with mobilization
The propriety of extending the time to three
and even five years has been debated at several
Of the recent conferences, and there appears to
be a strong opinion in favor Of q change. The
subject will be brought before the general con-
ference of the church.
Gs- Rev. Mr.. WISE son Of Gov. Wise, a
young Episcopalian, clergyman at Richmond,
Va, is taking liberties with the established rou-
tine. He breaches without notes and as if he
were in earnest, discards the priesty habiimeuts
and appears in his ordinary dress, not even wear
ing white cravat to distinguish him from lay
men. He also talks very boldly to the slave
holders about their religious duties to their SER
wants. and being an earnest msu and not at all
discreet according TO the wisdom of this world,
the probability Is that in the slavery matter he
will 60 further, in which case he will certainly
fare worse.

The Episcopal diocesan convention OF South
Carolina, held recently at Charleston, devoted
much time to the discussion OF the marriage Of
slaves. The general conclusion arrived at, was,
that slaves should have Christian marriage, aud
that it is wrong for masters to separate husband
and wife, but that when they do Il the slaves
are thereby released from their marriage obliga-
tions and may seek other partners. It is quite
evident that in establishing single basis for d.
vorce the founder Of the Christian religion did
not take into the view the necessities Of Amer
ican slavery. His regular successors are there
fore obliged to resort to special legislation to
meet the case.

The M-biIe (Ala) Mercury states boldly that
there are at present active movements going on
in the City of Mobile with a view to dissolu-
tiOn of the Union. The Mercury says
'"The times are now ripe for the organ
ization of political movement in the slave
holding States, irrespective, of course, of
all old party designations and there are
peculiar reasons why such q movement
should be undertaken now and here. In
deed, we are credbly informed that confer
ences have already been held by leading
patriotic gentlemen in this city, of all par
ties, and the plans of Southern organiza
tion have been set on foot and almost ma
tured, preparatory to action. We earnest
ly hope the good work may go on, and
speedily. This country, we repeat, is ripe
for the movement and, if judiciously in-
augurated, it will sweep over the land with
a force that no opposition will be able to
check. We therefore caution our friends
in the country, everywhere, to be prepared
for it, and to keep themselves free frcm all
entangling alliances which may hinder them
from joining it untrammeled."

From the New York Tribune.

FROM tne New FORK Tribune.
A Government train has been attacked
by the starving emigrants who are return
ing from Pixies Peak across the Plains, its
conductor has been killed, and the newly
appointed postmaster of one of the two
embryo cities near the mines has been hung.
This is probably only one of the out
RACES to which desperation has driven, or
will drive, the poor victims Of the gold ma
MIA. From letters which we publish else.
where, it appears that the emigrants are
exposed to trickery and privation on their
way to this new Dorado that they find
that the Settles" on its border are mere col
lections of log huts that provisions are
scarce, and that the productiveness of the
mines is, at least, questionable. Some, dis
heartened by the reports which reach them,
turn back before they see the promised
land others arrive only to starve others
manage to make the two ends of the day
meet for few weeks by the proceeds of
their labor ; others still, seeing what the
end is sure to be, make the best of their
way home through more or less serious diff
ficulties. OF this latter class, some, but
we hope not many, appear to have been
maddened 10y disappointment and hunger.
In this state of facts we can hardly under
stand how it is that emigration still con-
tinues. The tide has slackened, but still
there is some flow of travel towards Pixies
Peak : men who have made up their minds
to go and have completed their prepara-
tions dislike to give up a cherished project,
and the sanguine will hope. But whether
or not there be gold enough to repay for
the labor of mining-on which question
the smallness of the quantity that has
reached civilized regions throws some light
it is certain that, in the present state of
things at Pixies Peak, it is worse than fol.
y to go thither.

BU1L's HEAD.-The number of beef cat
tie in market this week, says the New York
Tribune, will be over a thousand head less
were in the city last week. The number
yarded at Forty-fourth street was only g.
300, with not over 100 more expected
say 2,4O0 against 1920 last week. The
consequence was, that the price advanced
full half a cent pound, and the cattle bro
kers hold their stock very stiff. We think
that full half the stock this week sold at
prices equivalent to IL cents a pound for
the meat. As to quality, we have never
seen a better average in market. Some of
the droves are really remarkable, and we
expect to be able to record sales In our re-
port of the market tomorrow of whole
droves at about 1920 dollars head, aver
aging IL I-2c pound. There is scarcely
anything in market that will sell less than
ii cents net pound. 1t is not expected
that the advance of freights will stop the
influx of poor stock from the West.

Our FRIENDS IN LAKE, had a very satisfac-
tory gathering on Saturday last. Judge WADE
made one of his characteristic speeches, full of
vigor, and apt and scathing rebuke to those
who pirate so effectingly about the sacredness Of
law, while no enactment, human or divine is too
sacred to prostitute to the most selfish and
wicked purposes. A single paragraph, in refer
ence to this bypocritical cant puts this thought
in more fOrcibe terms than we could hope to.
In this effort of that party to trample
the rights Of freemen in the dust" says the
Senator, "they have done it through the
influence Of wicked and corrupt Judges,
just as tyrants have done through all time
Were not the mWrdererS in Kansas COM
mitted under the name of law and order +?
From the time of Pontius PLATE when he
condemned the Saviour of the world. judi
cial authority has been perverted and sub
verted to carry out the damning behests
of tyrants."
