A SENsATIota-No little talk has been crca-
ted on account of the Rev. j. L. Gray, pastor
of the Episcopal church at Seaford. Del,
omitting prayer for the President of the Uni
ted States as laid down in Episcopal prayer
book. After prayer he made some eXplana-
ton why he did so, saying, that his sympa-
thies were with the South, he being a Sonth-
ern man." He says that he shall continue SO
to do until otherwise directed by the bishop or
the vestry.- Hi5mington Rep.
We never undertake to discuss religious
qJistions, but really we are sorry to meet with
Ltttencss of this sort 1t is akin to black re-
publican exclusion of Shareholders from
church fellowship or communion. A man
whose sympathies are with the Soath, or for
southern rights, officially required to offer a
prayer for the President of the United States,
could surely do so without compromising his
sympathies; while to refuse certainly COM
promises his Christianity If the prayer will
do Mr.. Lincoln any good, it is sheer matter
of duty to give him the benefit of it. We are
little apprehensive, however, that prayer
withheld in such a spirit is not worth much,
whether spoken or not 1t is strange that min
listers of the Gospel of Christ cannot under
stand that the Christianity they profess is de-
signed to illustrate the divine attribute of love-
1t strikes us that a Christian, whether min
ister or layman, who conscientously believes
that the republican party, with Lincoln at its
head, has rtthlessly and wickedly destroyed
this Union, would still suffer ne great demorali-
zation of his politics his religion by offering
prayer for the President of the United States.-

"PACIFIc PoLIcY No better evidences
desired than is afforded by his appointments.
See how they run. We quote from the n. Y.
Iribuue:
"Joshua r. Giddings has been appointed
United States ConSul-Gencral for British Am
erica, to reside at Montreal, with salary of
81, 900 I; year. As Mr.. Giddngs, at his ad-
yanced age would not probably care to cross
the Atlantic, the Government has given him
Il most valuable and honorable foreign appoint
mcnt on this side of the water, a recognition
Justly due to his eminent and lifelong services
in the cause of Freedom"
"Thc nomination of Mr. Burlngame as
Minister to Austria has been confirmed by the
Senate by a vote of 3S to s, the opposition be-
ing from Pro-Slavcry Senators, who objected
to his Endorsement of 1.-The impending Crisis
of the South" These iudicious gentlemen
seem to be determined to continue their advel'-
tisement Of Mr. Helpers book, in which good
work we are very willing to aid them.'
1.-The nomination of Gen. J. W. Nye of this
city as governor of Navada Territory was yes
terday confirmed by the Senate. We consider
this altogether the best appointment yet made
at the instance of Mr.. Seward. There is no doubt
that Gen. Nye is a Republican. He really be-
licves in the doctrines of the party, and has
rendered genuine service in the great work of
fixing them in the hearts of the people"
These are all abolitionists Of the Helper and
Beecher stamp and all the important posts,
thus far, have been filled by just such men,
Is this p0cifc? Let the defenders Of Lincoln
and his policy in this and other border slave
States answer.

Down on the Banks

We find the following in the last Fayette-
vile Obserrcr:
THE BANKS AND EXCHANGE arereques-
ted by one of the largest stockholders in banks
to call attention to what he consideYs-and
we confess that concur with him-an i'm
proper course of policy on the part of the
banks in this State-all of them, we presume.
We learn that whilst they sell sight exchanges
on the Northern cities at from to per cent pre-
MUM they buy 90 day bills on the North, at
l per cent. discount. We are surprised to
hear that this is all the banks allow for bills,
and would be surprised that drawers consent
to sell at that rate If it were apparent that at
present there is no other alternative except
the rather slow one for this fast age OF waiting
till the produce can reach its Northern market
and be sold.
The only plea that we car imagine for this
prodigious shave is, that in such times as the
present there is more risk in purchasing bills.
That is doubtless true but not to sHch an ex-
tent as difference of 3 or g per cent. between
buying and selling
1t is just, however, to the banks here to
state that they have themselves paid per
cent for sight checks, to procure means of
remittance Of funds collected on Northern
account.
We merely desire at present to-: atten-
ton to the fact, and at the suggestion of ono
who profits by but docs not approve of the
system. Cannot the banks, by some concert
of action, change their policy in this respect ?
We think they will thereby show that they
deserve the good will which the people and
the Legislature have generally manifested to-
wards them.

Spring.

A flush of green is on the boughs
A warm breath panteth i'll the air.
And III the earth heart pulse there
Throbs underneath her breast of snow;
Life is astir among the woods,
And by the moor and by the stream,
The year, as from torpid dream,
Wakes in the sunshine on the buds;
Wakes up in music as the song
O wood bird wild, and loosen'd rill
More frequent from the windy hill
Comes greening forest aisles along;
Wakes up in beauty as the sneen
OF wood and pool the CLEANS receives
Tho bright Il overs, over braided leaves
Or broken sunlights, golden-green.
She sees the outaw'd winter stay
Awhile. to gather alter him
Snow robes, frost-crystall'd d diadem,
And then in soft showers pass away.
She could not love rough winter we'll.
Yet cannot choose but mourn him now;
So wears awhile on her brow
His gift-a cleaning icicle.
Then turns her loving to the sun,
Upheaves her bosom's swell to his,
And in the JOY of his first kiss,
Forgets for aye that sterner one;
Old winters pledge from her he reaves-
That icy cold, though glittering spar
And zones her with green cymar,
And girdles round her brow with leaves.
The primrose and wood violet
He tanges in her shining hair,
And teaches eltin breezes fair
To sing her some sweet canzonet.
All promising long summer hours,
When she in his embAace shall lie
Under the broad dome of bright sky
On messy couches starr'd with flowers.
Till she smiles back again to him
The beauty beaming from his face,
And, robed in light, glows with the grace
OF Eden-palaced cherubim.
o earth thy glowing loveliness
Around our very hearts has thrown
An undimmed joyance all its own,
And suEn'd us DER with happiness.

SELECTED POETRY.
BY A. f. LEONARD.
AIR: Friend Of my soul.
Land of the South.

Land of the South the fairest land
Beneath Columbia's sky!
Proudly her hills of freedom stand,
Her plains in beouty lie.
Her dotted fields. her traversed streams
Their annual wealth renew
Land Of the South in brightest dreams
No dearer spot We view.
Men of the South. A fre e-born race,
They vodch a patriot line;
Ready the foemans van to face,
And guard their countrys shrine.
By sire and son a halolng light
Through time is borne along -
They - nothing ask but what is right,
And yield to nothing wrong
Fair OF the South rare beauty's crown
Ye wear with matchIess grace;
No classic fair of old renown
Deserve higher place.
Your vestal robes alike become
The palace and the GIt.:
Wives, mothers, daughters :ove.y home
1e make cherished spot.
Flag of the South Aye, fling its folds
Upon the kindred breeze =
Emblem of dread to tyrant holds
Of freedom on the seas
Forever may its stars and stripes
In cloudless glory wave;
Red, white and blue--eternal types
OF nations free and brave.
States of the South the patriots boast
Here equal laws have sway:
Nor tyrant lord, nor despot host,
Upon the weak may prey.
Then let them rule froll sea to sea,
And crown the queenly isle -
Union of love and liberty,
Meath heavens approving smile.
God of the South Protect this land
From false and open ioes
Guided by Thine all-ruling hand
In vain will hate oppose.
So mote the state of ship move on
Upon the untdthomed sea
Gallantiy DER its surges borne
The bulwarll of the free!
