Nh. EDIT 1roR.-Tne following is anse1-
tract from / letter addressed by Bishop
Payne, of the African Methodist Church,
to his nephew, Charles II. Holloway OF
the 54th Nj sss. Young Holloway had a
father and mother in Charleston. He
booed to fight his way with his comrades
into that city, the mother OF abomlna-
ton, to carry freedom to her bondmen,
but he fell m mortally wounded in an en-
gagem ent on James island on the 10th OF
June.
The heroic conduct of his regiment ~
the recent assault upon Fort Wagner, rs a
prophecy o. certain victory and universal
freedom. The letter will be read with in
terest. VI. l.
:. You hope that your movement will
meet with my appreciation. In answer to
which I have this much to say. l felt
disappointed, at first, because l desired
to educate you to high point OF scholar
ship. in order that you might become one
Of the Educators OF our hopeless race.
But secondly, 1 know, lowe duty to
our common. country and common hu-
manity, which requires me, not oHiy to-
willingly give UP my cherished nephew,
bit an only son, if I had such, a precious
sacrifice to the cause Of holy freedom,
Justice and government. I, thirdly, there

Christian character in the midst OF the

regiment furnished with one, rs soon as
possible. Give my kind regards to your

HEENAN AND SAVERS. By recent letters
from England We learn that in consequence
of the recent rebel raid into Pennsylvania
and the removal of the scene OF war from
Virginia into the Northern States, Heenan
and Sayers have indefinitely postponed
their visit to this country. They are evil
dently afraid that their tour through the
States at this juncture of affairs would
not prove successful in Il pecuniary point
of view, and therefore they will await 4
more convenient season before crossing
the Atlantic. Heenan's engagement with
Howe u Cushings Circus expires on the
26th of the present month. After q few
weeks enjoyment in Paris, where ne pro-
poses proceeding. he will return to Eng
land to prepare, by a strict course OF
training, for his great contest in the roped
arena for ten thousand dollars with the
redoubtable Tom King His old trainer,
Jack Mcdonald, will accompany him and
superintenl his preparation, as well rs
second him on the eventful day. Tom
Sayers will, in all probability be his other
second, and give him the benefit OF his
vast experience in the ring There IS but
little speculation rs to the result rs yet,
as the hackers of the men do not care
about betting on an event yet so distant.
In what little is done, Heenan has the call
of 500 to 800.

I were 'disloysl,' and 'Secessionist;' but intel,

sll such allegations to be false and malicious

proceedings charged upon them, exist more

gone forth that men were killed and 'seri-

been induced to stigmatize as sec ssionists.'
Democrats do not intend the Government
shall be destroyed. They have sustained
it amidst indignities and prosecutions and
will continue to sustain it in spite of every

doubtful whether they can be made to &C

aside all advisers who hesilated about the

at all points if his aim was, as he believed it
was to restore the Union. He said there
were Burrs and Blennerhassetts living, but
that they would wither before the popular
approval which would follow one or two
victories, such as he thought must take place
ere long. The turning point IN this war
will be the proper use Of these victories--if
