nothing, saying nothing, Nashville would
have leaped for JOY instead of hanging a sui

RELIGIoUs.-Somc dissatisfaction has
been expressed on the part of the loyal
members of the Methodist Church in this
town, during the past year, in regard to the
position of the pastor, Rev. W. II. Elliott,
on the great questions of the day.
In consequence of this, u meeting of the
Official Boards of the Church, consisting of
the Trustees, Leaders and Stewards, was
held recently, to determine what course
should be pursued in reference to the
appointment of pastor for the next year,
We learn. that at that meeting Mr.. Elliott
made full and particular statement of his
by the meeting Of the following resolution :
8 Resolred, That after full and free inter.
change of opinion and perfect explanation
by Rev. W. II. Elliott of his opinion res.
pcctng the present national troubles. we
are coavinccd-howcycr much we may
regret that this explanation was not sooner
made-that he is now thoroughly loyal to
the L mon, that he desires the suppression of
this uniustiiablc and wicked rebellion, the
success Of the Government in all its depart
mcnts and the restoration of its authority
over the whole land,
At the request Of the pastor the above
resolution was read to the congregation on
Sunday, the 9Th inst. as an exposition of his
views. A man who desires the suppress
sion Of this unjusttablc rebellion, the sue
cess of the Government in all its depart
mcnts and the restoration of its authority
over the whole land is certainly sound.
and we congratulate the Methodist Church
of EEkton as the posscssor Of the only loyal
settled minister in the town.
