lovaI local preachers within the Confer
ence. This order includes myself who
have been a local preacher in that Con
ference. lam going back, and intend to
call a Conference Of the local preachers,
and we will expel the last devil of these
rebel priests. We will put these seceders
and rebels out, and recover the church
property which rightfully belongs TO us,
and not to the traitors. This Methodist
Book Concern in your city, which has
published so much treason, is not the
property of the rebels, IL belongs 10 the
loyal Methodists, and we mean 10 have II
back. Heie is a copy Of the church Die
cipline, and it most positively enjOins
upon all our preachers obedience 90 the
laws and constituted authorities Of the
land. A transgression Of this injunction
makes the offender liable 20 expulsion
from The church. When the Elders are
ordained they are brought around the
altar-you have seen the ordinatiOnshere
frequently. for 1.-THE Elders were ordain-
ed here, as this was an aristOcratic con-
gregatian--a bon toni, uppet-tendom church
and there in the presence OfGod and the
congreg CATION, the Bishop lays his hands
upon their heads and swears them 20
oppose all disloyal doctrines. Thus thtse
rebel preachers are periured, fou|ly, basely,
wickedly, perjured. EARLY, when he was
ordaineda Bishop, took ant oath to promote
peace, and harmony, law and order |
heard him swear the lie myself in Column
bus, Georgia. Parson Sawrie, who knows
him well, in some private transactions,
says that Early is miserably corrupt
old creature. Let us believe these rebels
always, when they testify against one

Publishing House employed me TO write
book exposing that internal scoundrel oil
the Baptist Church, Elder j. Il. Graves.
They then denounced him for all that was
vile and rascslIy, but now they are all
standing shoulder TO shoulder in stirring
up rebellion. They are the worst scoun-
drels in the Union and intend TO expose
their damnable hypocrisy, villainy, and
falsehood TO the gaze Of the world. No
man living but me can do il, for know
them better than any one else. intend
to resurrect the RBozviHe Wing, and pour
hot shot into their rotten hulks. Preachers
have had more to do with treason than
any other men. Some sneaking scOuh-

asking my opinion Of ANDY JOHNSON.
There is no more Inconsistency in ANDY
Johnson and myself working together in

sRIN and GRAVES TO pull together, in the
Woke Of the devil, TO destroy the Govern
sment When the villainy OF these
ewretches shall be exposed, the revela-
tion will shock the country. These
Southern Methodist preachers began the
work OF disunion years ago. JOHN y.

sent for Bishop CAPEBs, and had a long
private conference with him, at the time

then rang with cries Of "go on" but as
the speaker declined, these were sue

have their appetites whetted for loyal

Mr.. MAYEARD, who responded in most
thrilling and effective speech, which our
limited space cOmpels us reluctantly TO

he had concluded the crowd again

days, and may meet you again, as we
may make sort of protracted meeting
of IL. When my friend Maynard spoke
of the brutal treatment Of his wife and
children by the rebels, could not refrain
from tears, i thought of the miserable
wretch General +. Kirby Smith, who
issued an order through that scoundrel
Churchwell--who died recently and
went further South 20 get his deserved
rights-commanding him TO convey my
wife and giri-children beyond the rebel
lines; and afterwards took my house for
A-hospital. But day Of retribution is
coming We will exact a swift and
terrible revenge for the cruel outrages
we have suffered, and when we return 10

miles of hell with the gut fat of Tonnes-

The Parson concluded amid peal after
peal Of tremendous applause, whose
echoes might have fallen on the ears Of
Belshayzar Breckenridge and his court at
Murfreesboro like the death knell Of
treason and rebellion.
