 acceptable speaker, preached at this place
 last Sabbath. His subject in the afternoon
 was Music, which he, treated in most interes
 ting and instructive manner. < In this connection, we would submit that it is to be deplored that the. singing of minor
 tunes is so universally discarded in our church
 es, as it is. We'll if our choirs more generally understood than they seem to, that penetential and petitionary hymns cannot be so appro-
 priately rendered in the use of major, "as mi nor tunes.

n@- Governor rierpout of Virginia got in to little difficulty in Washington theother day, by asserting, in an unguarded moment, that The southerners will not submitto pay ing any part of the national debt" This does not look as though even this very loyal gov ernor was thoroughly reconstructed :" Either the " southerners' are not citizens of the Uni ted States and have TO claim to the rightsioi liberty and representation, or they must bear the burdens of such citizenship. That those men, who have brought all this debt and dis grace upon our nation, should now be made a privileged class, exempt from all the b1rdens and yet crowned with every right of citizen ship, is most impudent and absurd pretention
 and we are glad that Mr. Pierpont, received a just rebuke, for his impotence and indiscretion.

He- A. H. Stephens of Georgia, and J. H.. Reagan of Texas, who had been confined for several months in Fort Warren, were released last week on parole, and have left for their homes. The former, at the beginning of the Rebellion, opposed the movement. declaring its unrighteousness and impolicy in speech that has been largely quoted throughout the war to show the folly and wickedness of seces- sion, but was bought into the interest of the
 confederacy' by the election as its Vice Pres ident. His companion was Postmaster-G Gener. al of the c. S. A. Both seem very humble and repentant now. Stevens assured the Pres ident that he should lend him all possible as
 sstapce to reconstruct. his State. and Reagan
 has already written noble letter to his friends in Texas, in which he exhorts them to accept the proffered terms of reconciliation. They possess large influence in the South, and we
 have reason to believe that they will be of great
 assistance to the government in the work o
 reconstruction.
