We learn that this gallant champion of the Con-

health as to be able 10 address the people at New
bern on the 3d. Mr.. Pool replied to him. We take
people at Kinston on the 9Th, at Snow Hill on the

from the following letter from Gov. Ellis, addressed
to the Editor of the Washington Dispateh that he
will not be able, owing to his official engagements
in Raleigh, to address the people at Washington on
the 9TH
"The friends of Gov Ellis and the public, will
learn with regret that he will not be able to meet
Mr. Pool here on the 9th inst, as published. The
following letter received from him fully explains the
reason:

DEAR SIR: You will confer favor by stating in
your paper that will not be able to meet Mr. Pool
were made by Mr. Pool, and this last one conflicts
with the meeting of the Literary Board. l must
be in Raleigh on the 10th to prepare business for

not be postponed longer as the Spring distribution
is made then.
Iregret my inability to be at Washington, as
did not visit that place during the last canvass.

GENTLEMEN :-On reaching here yesterday after
noon Learned that six of the counties of my Con-
gressional District, embracing the seat Of govern
ment of the State, hass been for several days en-
tirey without mails and that one half the popula-
ton Of this State md large part Of that of South
Carolina, are suffering the same deprivation in con-
sequence of difference which has arisen between
yourselves and the Post Office Department
As you are already aware, the members OF Con-
gress from this State and South Carolina whose
constituents Immediately interested, have zeal
ously and cheerfully seconded your reasonable re-
quest for increased compensation.
But the suffering and Inconvenience resulting
from the stoppage Of the mails, fall exclusively on
private citizens the owners and patrons Of the roads,
who cannot control the action of the Post Office De-
partment
You will agree with me that they ought not to be
subjected to any unnecessary loss inconvenience.
My object in addressing you is to request that
you will carry the mail as usual until your applica
ton for increased compensation can be more care
fully considered by the Postmast0 General
This request in made on behalf Of the people Of
two States, and the service would be rendered to
them, not to the government. You can acccde to it
without abandoning in any respect the position you
have assumed in reference to the Post Office De-
partment and you will remain at liberty Of course
to discontinue the service at your pleasure.
do not doubt that you will consider such service
emnently due from the Railroad Companies to the
public, and am quite sure that such course, on
your part will facilitate the adjustment of the diff
ference between yourselves and the Department:
l have just reached home, after a long absence
but will return Immediately to Washington and in
connection with other members of Congress, who
have no doubt would cheerfully sign this if they
could be consulted, will urge the matter upon the
attention of the Postmaster General. l am only
waiting here now in the hope that you will adopt
some plan by which the public car get their usual
mails, pending the consideration and discussion of
the subject.
Very respectfully
Your obedient servent
L. OBJ BRANCH.

A SABBATH IN CHARLESTON. "A correspondent of
the N Y. Journal Of Commerce gives the following
sketch of visit on Sabbath to the African Church
in Charleston:
considerable number of the strangers here i'm
proved the opportunity yesterday to attend the At
rican Church, where large numbers of the colored
population worship. The Pastor, Rev. Mr.. Girar-
deau is an able, eloquent and earnest preacher of
the Presbyterian denomination The church-edifice
is very large, capable Of seating between two and
three thousand people, and was we'll filled the con-
gregation, we should judge, being about equally d.,
vded between the slaves and the whites the former
occupying the body Of the church, and the latter
the hall pews We have seldom seen a more fash
ionabe audience than the white portion of Mr.. Gil
Rardeau's congregation, and the blacks, numbering
at least thousand were well dressed, orderly and
attentive listeners to very able DISCOURSE from the
text "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great
salvations" While listening to the earnest and elo-
quent discourse, We could not help rejecting that
thousands of the laborng population at the North
have no such spiritual instruction. and in this res
pect at least are not as well off the slaves in the
chief city of State where slavery is more rigidly
established and maintained than perhaps any other
in the Union. 1t is interesting, too to witness the
display of dress which the blacks make, when rig
ged out in their Sunday attire Nearly all of them
are dressed WELL and some of them elegantly, the
passion for gay colors and striking contrasts being
very visible to every observer. -

RALEIGH May 9TH, 1860.
DEAR SIR Your communication of yesterday is
before US, and we have given it the consideration
which its importance deserves.
In reply, We desire to say that our action, as
ferred to by your note not taken without grave
and calm deliberation, AID much reluctance The
conclusion which led us thereto was the result of
our conviction of what is justly due to the impor
tant interests concerned in our respective roads
that is, Of the States and of individual stockhold-
crs-which interests it is official duty to protect
We perfectly appreciate the considerations so
properly presented by your note, and especially
that of the serious deprivation of mail facilities to
four hundred and forty miles of our line with its
important commercial and metropolitan interests,
embracing many considerable side lines; and it is
solely for the fact of this serious DEPRIVATION be-
coming daily more injurious, that are willing to
consent to your proposal as gratutous concession
to the wants, the interest and the convenience of
our people.
In doing so we merely say, in explanation of our
action, that contracts for carrying the mails
pired in July last; that upon adyisement with our
respective Boards of Directors, were authorized,
by their unanimous approval, to decline to renew
the same, upon the same TERMS without an increase
of compensation, deemed to be fair and just on &C.
count of the actual increase of service.
We accordingly made to the Department a re-
spectful application for additional compensation and
have, within the ten months since, by communica-
ton, and by repeated personal application, urged
the matter. In the meanwhile we have, for the very
considerations suggested by your note, for the pub
lie interest and convenience continued to carry the
mails without contracts, relying upon the Depart
ment to do US justice, after Congress should make
the appropriation for the mail service.
In the month of March, becoming satisfied that
our delay not causing favorable consideration
IF ipfa vra mo final IN
the Department. fixing the first of May as the limit
of continuance to render the service unless for
the compensation We had proposed
At that date having received no reply, We declin-
ed, according to notice. to carry thesnas longer.
We now, for the considerations named, order the
usual service to be resumed for the present

DEAR SIR: In the last STANDARD see commu-
nicatIon from R. W. York, recommending that the

ever have, that such an Association would tend to
elevate the profession of teachers in the eyes of the
world bind together the interests of teachers, and
raise the standard of scholarship am much in "a.
education being called and as no time or place has

more suggest that you and the teachers and friends
Of education at Raleigh, make the necessary pre-
parations for holding said convention, and give no
tice Of the same. .3

~ The Washington Constitution, the organ of
the President continues its attacks on Mr. Douglas
The patriotic Senators from Louisiana, Indiana
and Delaware" are defended, and the friends Of Mr.
Douglas held up as exhibiting the rage of dis
appointed partzanship and defeated personal ambi-
ton" Now we think these attacks on Mr. Douglas
and his friends have gone far enough. Silence is at
least due to the man who commanded majority Of
the whole Electoral College in the late Convention
and whose Democracy, whatever may be his faults,
is quite as sound as that of many who assail him.
