Resolued, That we consider their pledge of

disregard of the teachings of the Scriptures, and
we would respectfully recommend the insertion

of st. Paul. g Drink we no longer water, but take
little wine for the stomach's sake"

heretofore kept silent, but now manifested avery
bitter spirit, and finally the meeting broke up in
confusion.

THE APPROACHES TO ATLANTA.-A letter in
the Cincinnati Commercial July 8, speaks of the
formidable character of the rebel works which
Gen. Sherman has thanked in his approach to
Atlanta The correspondent says:
GAS we approach Atlanta they steadily grow
upon us-line after line is uncovered by our
forward march, each more elaborate and ire
by all save Shermans army
than the last Imagine all the country between
the Altoona Mountains and the Chattahooche
the River plowed into huge ridges, an ave-
rage once in every miles, continuous cribs
built of rails and poles, oftener of huge logs,
filled with dirt taken from the clenched roots of
Georgian forest, feet high and feet wide,
running through the thickest woods and cleared
fields alike always two oftener three, and some
times even five lines deep, and all finished per-
fectly and polished, the trenches cut down square
and true, and the parapets shaped as if with the
square and plummet, and you have faint con-
ception of the mazes of rebel Notifications
through which the army has fought and fanked
its way thus far into the Confederacy My tent
stands tonight within five yards of the huge
wrinkle of earth erected by desperate rebels
Immediately after the abandonment of Kenesaw
the second from the river-and in coming to
it 1 rode for hours between the first and second
main lines, running along on top of a ridge just
over against that on which were our own, and
truly it seemed more the work of Titans or in
fernal Gods than of any mere men.
"The prevailing terror with which our artil-
lery has inspired the rebel Imagination, was
well illustrated by the numerous pits dug just
inside the breastworks, and rooted over with
logs and earth to shed the fierce iron rain which
poured upon them, both when they slept and
when they waked.''

A Scene in Charleston.

a scene IN Cndfl0SCOu.
I was lying on my bed in the Charleston Ho-
tel unable to sleep from the excessive heat and
listening to the sharp sound of the cannonade
kept up on the enemy's position from the bat
teries on James Island. Restless and weary OF
the night, had lighted candle in defiance Of
musquetoes and sought to pass away the time
with a volume of Lies Miserabes.' Ithappened
to be the one containing the account of the bat
tie of Waterloo, and while deeply int crested in
the description of the rushing squadrons of cu-
rassers was startled by noise that from con-
nection with my reading, resembled the whirr
of phantom brigade of cavalry gallopping in
mid-ar. My first feeling was that of utter as
constituent; but a crash succeeded by deafen-
ing explosion in the very street in which my
apartment was situated, brought me with
bound into the center of the room. Looking
from the window saw smoke and fire issuing
from a house in which were stored the drugs of
the medical purveyor. Waterman
ming frantcally down the street and when he
reached the corner just below me commenced
striking with his staff against the curb signal
of alarm practiced among the Charleston police
At first I thought meteor had fallen; but
another awful rush and whirr right over the no.
tel and another explosion beyond, settled
any doubts might have had-the city was
shelled. People are not generally given to
laughing under such circumstances but will
defy any one who witnessed what witnessed
on leaving my room, not to have given way to
mirth in moderation. The hotel was crowded
with spectators who had been attracted to the
city by the sale of some blockade cargoes, and
the corridors were filled with these terrified
gentleman rushing about in the scantiest of Co.'S
tunes and the widest alarm. One perspiring
individual of portly dimensions was trotting to
and fro with one boot on and the other in his
hand, and this was nearly all the dress he could
! boast Of In his excitement and terror he had
| forgotten the number of his room, from which
| he had fastened at the first alarm, and his dis
| tress was ludricious to behold. Another in
semi-state of nudity with portion of his gar
ments on his arm, parked the shins of every one
| in his efforts to drag an enormous trunk to the
staircase. On reaching the hall discovered
motley crowd some of whom with the biggest
| words were cursing the Federal commanders
| Whirr! came another shell over the roof, and
down on their faces went every man of them in
| tobacco-juice and cigar ends and Gathering
among the spittoons. need not say that this is
class of men from whom the Confederacy hopes
nothing; on the contrary, by their extortion
practiced on a suffering people, they haxe made
themselves execrated. If shell could have
| fallen in their midstand exterminated the whole
race of hucksters, it would have been or great
benefit to the South.-Btocka0oods Margarine.
