The Union Mans Greed.

Tho Union man whose creed falls below
this, is behind the people and the age we
live in:
1. Resistance TO any and every effort at
q disintegration Of the Federal Union.
2. An undivided support of the United
States Government, and its measures to put
down the rebellion.
3. The early return of all States in rebel
lion to their rightful allegiance to the United
States.
4. No fellowship with, or voting for,
men who are in sympathy with rebels, and
continually finding fault with the civil and
military authorities of the United States
5. There being but tuo parties in the
country, Rebels and Loyal men, all men are
on one sido or the other, and should BE- 80
regarded.

Elcyating the Negro.

Ths elevation of the negro in Mississippi,
does not seem to be remarkably rapid At
Natchez, they are declared by GIN. TrTrLr,
in command of the Federal troops, to be
"idle, lazy, and prohgate, and the General
issues an order to place them under the
charge OF 'somo responsible white person.
The following is GEN. TuTrIE's order com
msndinc at Natchcz. We need just such
sn order in Knoxville:
II is to be apprchcnded that serious dan
Rer to the health of this city will result
from the congregation within it's limits OF
tho large numbers of idle negroes which now
throng the estrcets, lanes and alleys, and over
crowded every howell Lazy and prodigdtc,
unused to caring for themselves, thrittcss
tor the present, and rccklessly improvident
for the future, the most of them loaf idlcy
about tho streets and alleys, prowling in &C.
cret places, and lounging lazily in crowded
novels, which soon become dens of noisome
Nth, and hot beds fit to cngendcr and rapid
" disseminate the most lodthsome and mdlig-
ndnt diseases.
TO prevent these evil effects it is hereJy
ordered that after the first day of April,
1864, no contraband shall be allowed to re-
main in the city of Natchcz who is not en-
ployed by some responsible whte person, in
some legitimate business, and who does not
reside at the domclc Of his or her employ
sr; and no contraband will be allowed to
hire any premises in this city for any pur-
pose whatever, and no other persons will
be allowed to hire such premises for the
purpose of cvading this order, nor be allow
cd to hire or harbor any contrnband who
cannot satisfy the Health Officer that he or
she needs the services of said contraband
in son,e legitimate employment All con-
trabands remaining in the city in contra
vention to this order after April lst will BE-
removed to the con IA band encampnent.

These governments, in disregard of duty

Mr.. thornton at The Methodist Confer
encc,


At the General Conference Of the Mctho-
di:t Episcopal Church, in session at Phila.
delphia last week, n delegation was present
from the British Conference. The Rev
W, J., Thornton, one of the delegates, pre-
scntcd written address from the English
Methodists, and then followed with n stir
ring speech of his own. In reference to
our national troubles, he spoke on the fol-
lowing terms;
We have not heard Of your bereaycd fam
lies, your scattered churches, your bleeding
country, without many tears, without many
prayers What we desire for you is an
honorable and abiding peace. What we de-
sire is the extinction of the blot of slavery
from the oscutcheon Of people called
Christians (Grcat sensation and cheers
| say, we wish for you an honorable
peace. ! read in the 10th Psalm, Come,
behold the works Of the Lord, what dosola-
tions he hath made in the earth, it is not
for the sake of the dcsolations; but for the
bringing in Of everlasting tranquility,
for ittollows Immediately, He maketh wars
brcaketh the bow and cuttcth the spear
in sundcr; He burneth tho chariot in The
fire ] would express my own conviction
and it is the conviction Of many Of my
countrymcn, that the Prince of Peace will
claim for himself the glory Of rcsCuing and
saving your magnificent country. Great
applausc) Bishop Morris and Reverend
Fathers and Brethren, ! rejoice to address
those whose trust is not in the ttlc-bow
or in the spear not in the horscmcn or in
the charots, but in the might Of the High
est. The Lord of hosts is with us, the God
Of Jacob is our refuge Light shall come
out OF darkness, God shall be glorfed, and
glory shall dwell in your land. lCries of
Amen) We know what is tho teaching Of
history. God works in marvellous obscuri-
ty. lie makes the darkness his pavilion
He once made Babylon "tho hammer Of
the whole earth, and the Assyrian the rod
of his anger The men Of the world is a
sword, but the hand that wield5 it is Gods.
thank God that you, as conference, have
undertaken to acknowledge this on next
Friday. Surely you will have power with
Him to whom the shields Of the earth
belong. Let me say, as we have been ac-
customed to say in our country in times Of
conflict:
'God Of the battles! all sustaining,
Guard the valient soldiers head
Let him, other dread disdaining,
Thee, the God Of battles dread"
My own conviction just now is that we
need, more than anything else the baptism
Of the Spirit--hoods upon the dry ground
This would do more than all else to settle
the question. Oh! for rsviving visitations |
for floods upon the dry ground. (Re-
sponses Of Amen, Amen) There is not an
instance in all history in which nation de-
cIincd even in material prosperity while re- |.
ligon hourished and churches grew upon
its soil. While you are true to God, he will .
be true to you. If God be for you, who can
be against You? Many may be ) but none
with honor-nono with succcss-nono with
impunity.

at the Knoxville Convention. They are
patriotic, national conservative, and present

Such resolutions, if properly presented TO
the people Of the North and South, would,
in my opinion, do much to sooth the bitter
strife Of thi.most crue and unr lcntng war.
Those resolutions will meet the approba-
