Until be became a SecesSionist, he was gen

minister and have so spoken Of him. But allow
me TO say that whenever Secession enters into
a man in the South, whether priest or Levite,
the devil accompanies it, and you may expect
that time forward aud for evermore. Maynard.

disguise to make his way through to his seat
in Congress, than the Rev. Joseph F. Martin
made a set speech, going through the formali-
ties Of taking text-preached an outrageous
sermon, and prayed an outrageous prayer,

Church in Knoxville, man of education and
fair talent, and until Secession broke out
thought him gentleman and Christian; but
short time before left he had special occa-
sion to preach upon the subject of Secession,
and attracted tie attention Of large crowd
He made the bold and open declaration that
Jesus Christ was a Southerner, born upon
Southern soil. Laughter he did it in good
faith; he did it in sincerity, however not in
truth be said, " Jesus Christ was Southern
er, born on Southern soil, and so were his
Disciples and Apostles, all except Judas, and
he was a Northern man" Laughter. i
Holding up a Bible, he said-I presume he
was sober, but I would not guarantee it"
should sooner my brethren, announce to you a
text for discussion from the pulpit out of
Bible or Testament that l knew had been
printed in bell, than out of Bible or Tesla
ment that was printed north of Mason and
Dixons line" That was part of a Gospel
sermon on the Lords Day. And a more un-
mitigated pack of scoundrels does not live than
the preachers Of Gods word down South gene

Mr.. Hugh promptly but frankly, and like
man, said, l cannot abandon my prayer-book
and regular form. I do not believe in the
Confederacy do not believe in jeff Davis.
They turned him ont, and procured another
plant tool and cat'spaw who was willing to
pray for anybody for his victuals, his wine and
his liquor. IGFeat laughter.l Bad as New

prayers for those vile, unmitigated devils in the
South. After this statement, you will not be
surprised when l say that I was quite willing
TO accept the passport and escort offered me to
leave the Confederacy. The devil himself was
saint by the side Of them, and I would not
insult the memory of Judas by comparing him
to any Of them. Benjamin, the thief at Y ale
