DIR. BALTIMORE LETTER.
BALTIMORE, March II, 1860.


Mr.. EDlroR:-By invitation, attended
gathering of the friends of Rev Enoch
Steward. who is now in Campbell JaiF
to be sold South unless his wife can secure
FIVE hundred dollars, the price asked for
him. Mrs. Stewart got this effort up TOR
the object named 1t was well patronized
by our people and some whites who were
in sympathy with him The gathering
was addressed by Revs. Messrs. Turner,
VIM. II. Waters, and Scott. Your cores
poudent also said word. The choir OF
Fbenezer Church discoursed delightful
music on the occasion. After the speak
inc. Mrs. Stewart fed her guests sumptu-
ously. Mr.. S. is local preacher in Ebe-
nezer A. M. E. Church. We hope to Sc
cure his freedom, as his wife, am told,
has already $500 to aid in the object.
On the evening of the 18th, the little
ones" connected with the st. James (EpiS-
copal) Sabbath School made things lively
with their merry glee. There was good
singing and speaking by children, and an
address by Rev. Mr.. Webb, pastor OF the
church.
There is a glorious revival in progress
at the Bethel Church. Nightly the altar
is crowded with penitents.
Rev. Bishop Payne reached Baltimore
from Ohio, in good health, on the l4th
inst, much recruited from his illness Of
last year. He brought with him young
minister, quite youth in years, but who
has made great proficiency in his knowl-
edge of God and His word. He promises
much. He is a good speaker, a ready
writer, and good minister. His carly
training was under Bishop Payne, in this
city. before his 18th year, and since then
at Dartmouth. He has been stationed at
Galena, ILL.,, and his name is Jas. Lynch.
The hope of the church is in our young
mon If the church had thousand ID. A.
Paynes, how many of our young men now
idle could be brought out, educated and
trained for the pulpit. He has done more
in this work in the A. III. r. Church than
any other man in her ministry. Oh! how
the church needs an educated, pious, and
working ministry, to train the thousands of
our people now in ignorance For more
than twenty years has Mr.. Payne been in
this kind of work.
HON. MR.. JACOBS AND THE INTERVIEW WITH
HIN.
Nv last closed with the promise to de-
tail the interview between MIR. Jacobs and
some of our colored citizens. Your cores
pondent wished to see this man-to look
him we'll in the face, SO that he could de-
scribe him to others, and remember him;
for he had sought our destruction-had
sought to enslave 10000 of US. A report

pened to be present, and details the inter
view as follows:

colored man, to private interview at the
Bannen Hotel. Happening to be at the
hotel when Hackett and his friend, Rev.
John N. Brown, pastor Of Bethel Church,
On Saratoga street, appeared. Mr.. Jacobs
