The Sabbath.

The Sabbath comes. How perfect and
how grateful is its silence Dumb is labor
and hushed all tumult and care. Even the
great marts of trade are deserted, and cities
rest. The very birds sing new song
and certain delicious soothing greets you
at your waking, and murmurs to you CRATE
fully "This is the day the Lord has made.
Dull and dead must be be beyond the dull
ness and deafness OF the mere sluggard, who
does not feel some awakening of the better
man within him at the hallowed advent of
the Sabbath morning.
10 consecrate and complete the home,
there must be religion in it and, as the
world and life are, Sunday must be looked
to mainly for the giving that conservation
and completeness. In itself the home is a
sacred place. Its founder is iod. Its gifts,
its possibilities are bis. The things sacred
to the soul and life are of it. 1t is the place
of birth, of growth, OF death,-and these
three great nj stories, these processes in
our being, sanctify it unto US. Distinctively
religious then should the home be made by
US, and every father and mother be known
as the priest and priestess of the domestic
ditAF. uC Olu ACtltlCdl law SuOulu UG IT.
vived among US, and every man "sanctify
his house to be holy unto the Lord"
The religion of home should be broad
and genial as religion in itself is not CON-
fined to seasons and to tasks, not to catech-
isms and articles of faith, not to set acts
and forms, not to the Bible and devotion,
but liberal and complete, EMBEDDING and
touching everything, everybody, every pos
ition, relation, act,-joys as we'll as sorrows,
the least, the common, as we'll as the
greatest and the exceptional. 1t should
have all the reverence OF the first command
ment, and all the scope of the econd,-and
this secured by word and work, by precept,
by influence direct and indirect, not by caus
ing to know and do, but by leading the way
in knowing and doing. The thing most to
guard against, is disgusting the members OF
the home with the subject of religions
thing many well,meanlng homes have done

OMlTHfiEID, ~ ", may IOD-
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the llth instant was
handed me to-day by Mr.. Simon Goodwin, in which
several enquiries made in regard to a meeting
held in Smth6eld Saturday before last 10 petition
General Holmes to appoint Military Patrol for this
(+lst RegO In reply 10 which, | will endeavor to
answer your enquiries or questions order they
made or propounded in your letter. First, |
am asked what part Col. Heath took in this meet
ing? In reply to which, | can only say he came TO
my house and said he wished to see me, when we
walked out and down to the Court House. Soon
after left the house. the Colonel told ME he had
been informed that the citizens of Wayne and Will
son, and perhaps Others had petitOned Gen. Holmes
to appoint a Military Patrol for those counties
which petition he had granted and made the APP
pOintment, and that there was n meeting at that
time at the Court House of some of our citizens To
consider the matter in reference to this county, and
asked me to go down and participate with them,
asking at the same time what | thought of it |
p<6lied to him could see no objection to il and as
other counties had considered and asked it, and as
the Patrol understood at all times to be under
the CONTROL and subject to the orders OF the General
it might be a good move. When we got to the
Court House, went into the Superior Court
Clerks office, IN which was several gentlemen
petition had been drawn up asking the appointment
of the Patrol above referred to- Mr.. VIM II. Joyner
adding together the number Of slaves returned
on the tax lists for this Regiment, to fill blank in
the petition. In regard to the secresy Of the meet
ing, can only say we acted with the door closed
and that some SecreSy was enjOned but for what it
was not stated nor do 1 know any particular rea-
san for such injunction. presume very few Of our
citizens knew anything of the meeting. I knew
nothing Of it until Col. Heath came to my house
and informed me Of it. If there had been any call
for such a meeting have no knowledge of it
In regard TO Col. Heath's contemplated visit to
Gen. Holmes, it was understood that he would 60
down and present the petition the Monday follow
ing if sufficient number Of signatures Of persons
above the age OF 80 years could be obtained in time
As to the manner by which the signatures were to
be obtained, l think it was by general request, Col.
Heath took the petition to get The signatures re-
qured. 1t is true, Col Heath, Lient. Col. Whit
ley and Adjutant Atkinson were among the persons
recommended to be appointed.
AS you will perceive, was invited into the meet
ing after the commencement and after the prelim
naries were through with, and, therefore, cannot
answer all your enquiries so full may be expect
ed, or as others might be able to do
Yours very respectfully,
EDWIN BOYKIN.

Mr.. ANDERs:-In reply to your request, have
to say that on Saturday evening, the Sd inst, |
went over to town to attend to some private bust
ness and while there Col. Heath called me- went
to him and he told me there a proposition to
petition to Gen. Holmes for military patrol to be
composed Of men between the ages Of Is and 80
years, and stated that the citizens Of Wayne and
Wilson counties had petitioned and secured such
patrol. He further stated that meeting was being
held in the Court House there, and said come in
and hear the argument" 1 went in with him and
learned petition was being drawn up by Mr.. VIM
H. Joyner, for the purposes above stated, which
was afterwards read and accepted. The PROPOSE
ton was to recommend men from each Captains
district 2 of whom should be slave owners and 2
n.Save owners-and for SInithfield district sug-
geSted Col. Heath, d. W. Boykn, s. X. Morgan,
and Mr.. Boykin mentioned Wm. Nichols, and sug-
gested his name. Secresy was enjoiued for the
present but do not recollect by whom suggested
and acquesced in it. 1t was remarked that Col
Heath would carry the petition to Gen. Holmes, and
he assented thereto.
With regard to the certificate to which you refer,
l was not aware that any particular word was ital-
icised therein | did not hear any one request Col
Heath to carry the petition to Gen. Holmes, in so
many words, but the impression with me was, that
all understood that he would carry it.
have endeavored to give impartial statement
of the facts and circumstances they occurred.
Respectfully, SETH WOODALLL

AS to the secresy of the meeting Of the Sd inst,
it appeared to be settled upon when went into the
meeting. l regarded it as a matter of but little
consequence, and therefore acquesced therein with
out inquiry, and without any knowledge of the
object Of secresy As to the certificate referred to
in your letter. my recollection OF the facts and cir
cumstances are these: Col. Heath came to my
house with the certificate and asked me to sign it.
read it over and signed it, but have no recoec-
ton of any underscoring, italiczing, or any par
ticular stress being laid applicable to any par
ticular word therein; but simply understood it to
mean and embrace the action and conclusion OF the
meeting of the Sd inst, in which had concurred,
and part of which had taken part in.
My letter of the 18th to you, with the above,
contains about all know about the meeting.

DEAR Sir: You ask me if my letter of May llth
in regard to meeting on the Sd, to appoint pat
rol, has been revised and answer that as see it
printed in your card so think wrote, and know
that was not prompted by any person, for wrote
in private, and did not hear from it until saw it
in your card-and as for the ingenuity OF construc-
ton, must claim that it does not exist, when the
original is referred to. In regard to the certificate
Of myself and others taken by Col. Heath, would
say nv impression is that Col. Heath proposed in
the meeting to take charge of the instrument, pro-
cure more names and proceed with it to the Com
manding General, and there was no objection. AS
to privacy of the meeting, Col Heath did request
the thing kept private, and all seemed to acqucsce
without mquiring for what purpose

Clpt. G. B. Sanders:
To G. B. SANDERS, at home.

DEAR SIR:-Tn reply to your question, whether
was consulted in regard to the military patrol and
by whom" | answer, that Col. Heath sent me Pc
tition to Gen. Holiness signed by several citizens Of
our county, asking the appointment of patrol for
the county. In a note accompanying the petition,
Col Heath stated that he had been requested to
make the application but had declined to do so un-
less it was approved Of and recommended by the
old and influential men of the county. did not
join in the petition because thought the patrol
ought to be taken by lot, and not appointed by the
petitioners. This was my only reason for refusing
to sign. approved the appointment of patrol
and think yet that we ought to have one for the
county, il it could be obtained 10 manner that
would give satisfaction to the conscripts.
Yours respectfully,

C. 3. Sanders, Esq. -

DEAR SIR:-In answer to your note of inquiry,
we have only to state that the petition for military
patrol was presented to the afternoon of Sat-
urday, the Sd instant by Col Heath, which we
read, approved and signed, with the implied under
standing that he was to carry it to Gen. Holmes
and acquesced in the propriety of keeping the mat
ter private, as suggested by Col Heath, until the
fate of the enterprise could be learned. Whether
the suggestion originated with HIM, was the re-
suit of the consultation had by gentlemen who got
up the petition, in the meeting that was held, we
are unable to say, as We were not present.
Very respectfully, WM II. MORNING.
