regret, both through the public press and genera
rumor, that Rev. Marble n. Taylor, a member OIL
/ this body, stationed at Hatteras during the past
year, did, after the late capture of Fort Hatteras
take the oath Of allegiance to the Government OF
Abraham Lincoln, and has identified himself with
that unmitigated despotsm, and thus become a
traitor to his Conference, his State aud the South
ern Contederacy; and whereas, it is now impossi-
BILE to investigate the conduct of said Taylor ac-
cording to the forms of our church. Therefore,
be it
Rcsrlved, That the name of the said Marble n
