"a It sesms the martyrs are net all dead
g Dr. olds, who finds Christianity unpala-
i. 3 table to his COpperbesd notions is about
10 enter upon his great mission of Paul to
the Gentiles. It appears from the record
,ra'- in the Crisis, that on Thursday the 14tb
day Of Jsnuary, Aubo Domini, 1864,
meeting was held in the court house, in the
sssslsEs' town Of Lancaster to reOrganize the
churches Of Ohio. Future ages will read
.4AaA with astouishmsut Of this new movement,
ss a BY which the whole Christian world was
rent and torn, hsving its birth in court
house. It is not said in the reports Of the
nesting whether cloveu tongues like as of
3 FIRE. sat upoa these chosen apostles Of the
new Copperhssd Christianity, but it is to
be inferred from the proceedings, that
they were baptized with SONS kind Of FIRE
Eis,n B. who, like Paul dwslt for sea
son in dungeon walls, is to be the leading
martyr. BE therefore opened the meeting
BY explaining at length its object in
written address Unfortunately for the
interests of humanity, we have 10 record
ofthe substance of this apostolic plea for
new church, but we may infer what tits
from the resolutions passed.
The Yankees are great on resoluuonsI
and 70 Virgil E. Shaw Chat is, Virgil, o.
PshawD brought before that reverend
body q series Of whereases and therefores
whose invincible sequence Oflogic, they no
doubt think, will put the new church on
its legs without the assistance Of PfOvi-
denee.
From the fact that this assembly o.
saints offered up no prayers in behalf OF
the enterprise we conclude that the ma
chine is to be run without any cooperation
from on High, and that the motive power
will be furnished chiefly by these opening
resolutions and the efforts Of those sanity
Journals, the Crisis the Enquirer, the
Chicago Times and New York News.
That our readers may be better &C
qusinted with these preliminary steps in
the great Reformation, we will be a little
more precise.
It seems, in the opinion Of these ghostly
gentlemen, that the Christian religion as
now managed, is roaring lion, devOur
ing hycna, blood -bedTabbled demon, o.
some "bydra Or chiners dire" Th'
churches have ceased to preach goddess
cbsriiy, and meskness and now inculcat'
49, bitterness strife, hatred, and dovilishness
Thsclergy are filing the earth with atheists
ind infdss, and bringing the Sabbath
dsy into disrepute. Therefore all Of th'
more devOut saints, especially those wh'
.~ have cOppery flavor, are to go up to Co
- lumbus on the third day Of February
1864 Bro. Given, of Capital, Is th'
Gamsliel at whose feet the faithful viii
sit on their arrival He will receive then
and provide entertainment.
All VINO believe in the Christian efficacy
Of logging niggers are invited. All wh'
are afraid that sambO viii get tho start o
them in the war of the races are expected
oa there. All who feel offended when tbs
minister calls JEFF. rebel will come. Al
who 20 in for saying Bro. Bragg, Bro
Longstreet Bro. Besuregsrd, and Biz
ter Davis, Sister Stevens, and Sister Lee
will be present. All who adore the sanity
images of COpperhead Democracy viii
bow down with sweet humility and lister
to the apostolic olds.
Hail the new era Ern when San. Ne
dairy, Sam. Cox VaIlandighsm, Cathcer
and Fernando Wocd are to be the mode
fH saints.
