Editors Intelligemcsr
In your daily issue of the 10th inst. l
noticed a short communication written by
Chas. HOotOn, in which be has endeavored
to correct your informant concerning the
Rev. j. E. Mitchell, but. in my opinion, has
made a complete failure; and if any dit
ference at all, has made the matter worse.
1t will be remembered that i made no
statement about the Conference assigning
the Rev. Mr.. n. to circuit or station; con-
sequently my friend has failed to make
any correction whatever,
/ only wish to say that did not make
that statement because Mitchell belonged
to the N. p. Church, but would have made
the same statement it he had belonged to
any other church. 1t was done through
no prejudice whatever.
Mr.. Mitchell preached in my neighbor-
hood last spring, and in addition to that,
as have been reliable informed, raised a
volunteer company for the so.Called
Southern COufederacy. He preached Oft
en- to his men, aud preached some very
good doctrine. He would frequently tell
his men to put their trust in the Lord and
keep their powder dry. Since he left the
regular service aud Joined the guerrilla
bands suppose he has been preaching the
same doctrine, and suppose he claims to
be a member of the church referred to;
whether he is or not l do not know.
Yours Respectfully,

The unexpected repulse experienced by

The old Threats feom. SCI. 9 ua ,.lr


In the Senate on Monday, resolution
to tx the day of adjournment was pend
ing, when Carrot Davis, of Kentncky-a
Senator chosen toillstia seat made vacant
by the treason of its former occupant, told
his peers ''You have passed measures at
this session, which 'nre Unconstitutional
and iniquitous and unwise, and which will
be resisted by tue whole population of Ken
lucky, and such as will counsel nv peo.
pie to resist by every mode Of resistance
they can DEVISE" He was promptly called
to order by Senator Wilson Of Massacbu-
sets, for uttering reasonable sentiments
on the floor of the Senate, when he made
haste to modify his offensive expressions.
This Carrot Davis has of late been initial
ing in very poor way the role which
Davis and Mason aud BreckiGridge were
wonttO perform withmurh more ability and
eciat. He haa threatened on several oc-
casions ITO appeal to the armies in the
field' against the national legislature /; and
that if the cohiscation7 bill should Dass
''another but just war, would be begun:"
and now comes this sweeping threat Hto
counsel resistance by every mode that can
be devised a. 1t is high time that such
threats should cease in the Senate cham
Der, and that the old crack of the pro-
slavery whip should die way. 1854
The fact that the REASONABLE language
was rebuked by a call to order, and BY the
remarks of several Senators, is a good be-
ginning. Let it be followed up. and let it
be understood once for all, that the maioriL
ty viii rule under the Constitution and in
accordance with the laWs.l Mr.: Davis iss
old and sexcitable, and his threats mean
little but they are signaIly out of date, as
