Bishop Pierce's Address.

The Charleston Southern Christian Adrocats has
been re-issued at Macon, Georgia, after a suppress
sion of three years and the Rev Mr.. Myers its old
editor, is at its head In it appears address to
the Georgia Conference from Bishop Pierce. We
have perused the address, and we have perused the
leading articles in the Advocate. We have read
both with care order to ascertain how far South
Methodists are disposed to be loyal to the Uni
on. The positions of both the Bishop and the Ad-
vOcste might, if defined in plain terms be stated as
rebel with acceptance per force, of the existing
military and political situation There is general
move on the part of the leaders of the Southern
Methodis, to revive their demoralized Conferences,
their geographical lines and to resist any and all
attempts at re-constructing the Church they divi-
ded in 1914.
Before the war, Methodism enrolled in the South
ern States about 100000 members; and we may
safely assume that less than 100000 of them remain,
having escaped the general storm Of naturalization
that swept over the South. The old Church will
occupy every field of labor, and if a contest shall
arise between the two organizations we may safely
assume that of the 100000 remaining, including
eolored members, 100000 will go to the old
Church.
To avoid this conflict, we propose reunion of
the Churches on terms of friendship and eompro-
mise But we say TO the South in all csndor, their
must be no putting Of airs; the day for that let
Southern preachers and people rest assured is past
The South has bsen conquered in war it brought
on for disuniOn and slavery and for union and
freedom, 1t will be held forever! We havedestroy-
ed the sn, but We are for saving the sinners. This
can only be done by ecclesiastical restoration of
the hosts, whatever may have been their political
or moral alterations. In order to do this, we
should approach only with words of tenderness and
christian kindness. In this work, we should all
save thousands and secure one of the most potent
means of national restoration and tranouiuization

Foreign Items.

European advces state that the British Psrlia-
ment will be dissolved on the 10th prox. The ne
gotiations between England and Canada are about
to be concluded satisfactorily, the understanding
being that Canada is TO undertake the defence Of
herself-the home government furnishing the mon
ely therefor and guaranteeing loan for the con-
struction of the Inter- Colonial Railroad
The French government has published a circular
closing its ports to rebel cruisers.
Mrs. Lincoln has written reply to the letter OF
coincidence from the Empress Eugene. Spain has
withdrawn its concessions Of belligerent rights to
the rebels. The Austrian Emperor agrees to rein
state Macmillan in all his European rights in case
of his failure in Mexico The revolution in Peru
is still in progress Chill is threatened by Spain in
case she does not accede to the demands of the lat
ter The revolutionary party in San Salvador has
been thoroughly defeated. Colonel Totten has
been unsuccessful in the negotiation of the new Pa
mama railroad contract.

The Great Criminal,

Vattel is an authority oftener quoted than read,
more spoken than known. In that part of his
Drot de Gems" THE Law of Nation, or Prinei-
piles of the Law of Nature applied to the Affairs of
Nations and Sovereigns," first published in 1885,
in which he treats "Of Civil War;" he distinctly
states how such great public criminals as Jefferson
Davis and colleagues may be justly treated. He
says:
when the Sovereign has subdued the opposite
party and reduced them to submit and sue for peace
he may expect from the amnesty the authors of the
disturbance, the heads of the party; he may bring
them to a legal trial, and punish them if they be
found guilty He may act in this manner particu-
larry occasion of those disturbances in which the
interests of the people not so much the object in
view as the private aim of some powerful indvidu-
ais, and which rather deserve the name of reusLt
than of cicI lcarr

Our Foreign RelatiOns-Their SatiSfac-
tory ASDect,

The steady rise of our bonds il the European
market, and the enlarged demands that has recent
ly sprung up for them there is an evidence of the
satisfactory relations of European Governments
with our own. It was feared for a time, that the
Mexican enlistments in this city, fictitious though
they were know to be here, might lead to remon-
strances on the part of France, and our credit
in consequence fora short time unfavorably affect
ed; but the speedy and complete collapse Of the
entire movement and the prompt action of the
Government in preventing the sailing Of q susp-
cious vessel from San Francisco, quickly restored
confidence abroad.
The fact is, if we may take the solemn allega-
tons Of the leading statesmen of England and
France, there is nothing they are more anxious to
maintain than peace with the United States and
to that end, they will adopt all possible measures.
England is even willing to discuss the question of
paying damages for the injuries inflicted by the Al
ALBANIA; and the official mouthpiece of the French
Empire proclaims the anxiety of his government to
find some feasible mode of escape from Mexico
There is no doubt that our government meets all
this in like conciliatory spirit; and there is no
doubt that therein it is supported by the great body
of the American people-N. 7. Times.

The Locust Plague.
The following letter gives an account of the plague
of locusts in Syria: Er--

of locusts in Syria; ar--.
"WaaLka, Nay Isl think you will be interested
to hear about the of locusts which have Wis
tied the whole Of Palestine and the Lebanon, and
which, fear, viii leave little food for man or beast
Early in last month the locusts first appeared and
in such myrisds that on looking through the tele-
scope they seemed like dense fall of snow, in huge
yellow flakes far the eye could reach and con-
tinued for weeks to cover the whole land with the
exception of a small portion. We are very thank
fu that in two little villages and for few miles
round, no lOcusts alghted. Every evening the town
crier used to go round and cry out Men, woman
and children Of Maalka you are to leave your work
and go 10 drive away the ocusts, and he who DISC
beys shall eat one-hundred rods, sit twenty-four
hours in prison and pay fine. By shouting and
drumming, the people brighten away some Of the
swarms to hinder them from depositing eggs. Then,
a fortnight later, proclamation was issued that
every individual must bring measure of locusts'
eggs to the Serago to be burnt and those who could
not gather must buy their share So locusts' eggs
We're sold st a high price, and finally burnt The
last thing ordered information of little canals
into which the young lave NOW Matched and eat
ing voraeiously might be chased and destroyed Ell
n1aSse. With all their efforts and orders from the
Sultan, very few, comparatively can be killed and
fear the land viii suffer grievously The locusts
have not come here for twenty years back and their
visit now is supposed to be owing to the very mild
winter we had"

Mr.. LINCOLN AND JEFF DAvIs.-The New York
correspondent of the London Spectator asks in his
letter: ''Was there ever more striking contrast
than that between the close of the public careers of
the two foremost men in this tremendous conflict :?
One careless of his life, and dying upon the sum-
NIT Of success mourned by agreat nation, and clio
iting unprecedented respect and sympathy from all
Christendom the other, leading his followers TO de-
struction arrested he 'skedaddled across corn
field, to save his neck in his wifes petticoats' The
Spectator adds, editorally:
This Republic, which was supposed to be alb
sorbed in trade and agriculture enervated by wealth
and prosperity incapable of the efforts and sacrif-
ces which are required for war-thiS Republic has
already shown itself upon battlefelds the rival Of
the Republics of Rome and Greece. Like the Gre
clan Republics it has already had its two Nervic
wars-its Persian and its Peloponnesan war. The
war of IVA to 1882, which created its nationality
and the war Of 1861 TO 1865, which has put an end
to slavery, has engraved its in the first class
among the records of martial glory That is enough
for it. God grant that may be able TO stop with
out going further in this career of blood and dan

THE END OF THE WoRLD-This Is what the
London Spectator says of the end of the world 4:
Almost all European writers, whatever their sub
iect politics or society, now tacty assume that the
human race is to progress forever TO state their
latent idea more strictly is to advance steadily for
an indefinite period towards 2 nobler life and a
higher civilization. The idea of fixed term Of
history, which so greatly influenced the Middle
ages has utterly disappeared the semi-relgious be-
lief of cataclysm to occur at distant but visible
date though still entertained has ceased to be pro-
influence him The reyerie of the politician is no
longer absent from the great minds Of the first four
centuries-but of coming millennium, when all
mankind shall be allied and the motive force OF the
European, and subtle brow of the Arab, and the
def hand of the Mongol shall all be employed to-
gether in making earth more lovely and more con-
venient for its people

Brown.
JoNEsBoRo, June 20, 1856;

Dear Father: a.
have not started that bundle of papers, the
mails are so uncertain. l wrote you that l would
express them, but the express agent did not know
a thing about the country, whether the railroad
run in hundred miles of there or not, so he would
them until hear from you, and for you to advise
me what Office to express them to.
Father, if ! was you / would leave Kentucky.
Everybody knows where you are and the first thing
you know you will be indicted by of the friends
of those that were executed by rebel authority.
If such a thing should happen, it would be a very
easy matter for you to be arrested before you could
get breath of it. So if I was you would leave
Immediately, or as soon as you get the papers you
want.
Willie, presume, is out of prison, and with you.
Oh am so glad you are together.
We lost that meat you left atBlsir's. r. l.. Blair
came down to Bristol and gave Mrs. Blair permits
sion to it for debt you owed him. He said you
sold horse of his for SIS, 900, and made of this
money and for her to use the bacon. l wish you
would write to us about it. j. Blair is the cause of
it. have no doubt, for he told Jennie that perhaps
he could replace one hundred pounds of it in the
fall; then he went to Bristol and came back and
told us what r. L. Blair said about it. Jennie then
went to Bristol and Mrs. Blair told similar tale,
but it did not have quite SO good face, and then
she said that j. B. advised her not to let US havethe
meat no way, for we had meat at present, and did
not need it. j. B. has told so many different tales
about it that it quite evident he has acted the dog
about it. wish you would write to US how we
could recover the meat off of j, B. if you don't
want it to stand so.

place of John Gallaher. We are all WE'LL Write
