was before, and the Bishop enjoyed it as
well as anybody else-as well as he had
enjoyed the hosptalties of his house, for
he had been there many times. Fountain
E. Fitch, an old Presiding Elder of the
Conference, a man who had been in every
General Conference for 80 years, who
went to Europe with Bishop Soule, who
had one or two sons in the Rebel army,
was chaplain of Nashville regiment,
and he made it a practice to get drunk,
carrying bottle with him he drank to
excess and swore profanely, but preached
every Sunday faithfully to the soldiers,
and in his discourses told them actually
that the cause in which they were en-
gaged-and lie only gave him as a speci-
men of all denominations-fghting for
the independence of the South, fighting
to keep back the Abolition hordes of the
North, and to repulse the hordes of Lin
coin, was so good and so holy a cause
that ii they died in this cause they would
be saved i'll heaven, even without grace
Great laughter and applause One Of
them, the Rev. DR.. Baldwin, of the Meth
odist Church, Senator Pickens being in
front of him, knelt down, as was the
Methodist custom, one Sunday, to pray ::
" o Lord he said, -" we thank thee for
having inaugurated the Revolution"
Judge Pickens rose up in his seat, and
taking his hat, says he, cd d-m
such a prayer to hell !' Loud laughter.
A Reverend of the Baptist denomination
his name escaped our reporter, the re-
porter's table having been placed at a
great distance from the speaker, at the
head of the Baptist publishing house in
Nashville, when the Union army ap-
preached Nashville, and he found his
neck in danger of the halter, took to his
heels, and as he was running out Of Nash
vile in sulky, 9 or 10 miles an hour, l
was going in under a flag of truce. He
is now heading regiment of Rebels, arm
ing them with pixies.
A GENTLEMAN (Dr. Pearson, President
of Columbia College, KY gives an ac-
count of DR.. Martin, of your town. He
graduated at the Union Theological Semi
nary here in New York.
Parson Brownlow-You didn't fully
graduate him at your college; he is now
taking lessons under the devil to my per-
sonal knowledge. Great applause. He
is a New School Presbyterian, resident
OF Knoxville. Until he became Seces-
sionist he was a gentleman, and I regard
ed him as Christian minister, and have
so spoken of him. But allow me to say,
that whenever Secession enters into man
in the outh, whether priest or Levite,
the devil accompanies it, and you may
expect him TO do the works of the devil
alone from that time forward and forever
more. Mr.. Maynard, our Representative
lin Congress, is an Elder in the New
School Presbyterian Church, scholar,
and gentleman. He had no sooner left
in disguise, to make his way through to
take his seat in Congress, than the Rev.
Joseph F. Martin made a set speech, 60
ing through the formality of taking a text
preached an outrageous sermon, and
prayed an outrageous prayer, " that his
wicked and unhallowed tracks might
never again be seen or known in Knox
vile" he mortified wife of Mr.. May
nard, WHO is in this neighborhood, and
Who Is ii lady, and so regarded, in every
sense OF The word, an intelligent, chari
table, Christian lady, shedding tears on
that occasion, rose up and left the house
and journeyed home, and although she
was driven out but few weeks ago, with
my wife and children, she has, to her
honor and credit, never disgraced her
name by visiting his vile sanctuary any
more. Cheers, "Good."j Feeling that
he had behaved in mean, sneaking. con-
temptible manner, he made her q visit
and apoIogized, saying, "I didn't want
10 DO it, bat my elders made me do it,
and had to do it or lose my salary and
my place" What do you think of a devil
ike that? Well, Sir that is one of your
New School gentry Now for the Old
School. The pastor OF the Old School
Church in Knoxville, man of education
aud iair talent, and until Secession broke
out, thought him a gentleman and a
Christian +; but a short time before l left
he had a special occasion to preach upon
the subject. of Secession, and attracted the
attention of a large crowd. He made the
bold and open declaration that Jesus
Christ was Southerner, born upon
Southern soil. Laughter. He did it
in good faith Re did it in sincerity, how
ever not in truth he said, Jesus Christ
was Southerner, born on Southern soil,
and SO were his Disciples and Apostles,
