CURIoUs PRAYER.-A correspondent of the
Western Christian Advocate sends that paper the
following
reverend gentleman direct from the interior
of Texas, stayed at my house few days at the
time MiIlerism was at its zenith iii Cincinnati
lie related to me a rumor which he had heard in
Texas Of man he met in our streets as a merte
preacher In Texas this man got permission to
preach in a school house, and took occasion to
abuse all other. denominations. He said there
were who professed to be called and commits
stoned of God to preach the Gospel but that he
pretended to no such high credentials. After
abusing all who would not say amen to his views,
being about to close, wag whispered to him, if
he wished some one 10 close for him TO call on
Dir II He did so. Mr H took the
stand, gave out hymn, and then prayed 10 this
wise:
Lord we thank thee that thou hast ever sent
thy ministers among Us; We were very wicked
people before they came some of US, however,
have reformed. We thank thee that thou hast
called commissioned and seut thy ministers to
preach the unsearchablc riches of Christ; but as
tor this fellow, he has told that thou ddst not
cou mission him, and We believe him. We hear
strange stories Of him Lord we know not whether
they be true or not but thou knowest; but we hear
he went to Galveston a gambler; that afterwards
he became preacher; that the young men who
knew him iu these characters thought them in
compatible, and, in consequence ducked him in
the bay; from which, we doubt not, he dates bis
com mission to preach the doctrine he has pro-
claimed to us !! We then hear also, that he stole
horse at Galveston; We know not whether it be
true Lord, thou knowest; bat thing do
know-that is, know that he stops with the
widos c., and we know that no decent man
would stop there" BY this time the preacher
was making his escape, without dismissing his
congregation, and afterwards holding
forth in the big tent Of Mlersm in Cincinnati

VICE President STEpHENs.-A dispatch from
Richmond states that the Hon A II. Stephens
will soon return to Georgia to canvass that State
for vigorous-prosecution of. the war. He says
since his return from the conference with Lincoln
and Seward, that the only hope now left for the
South is in the strong ana stout hearts of her
people. Lincoln's refusal to make peace on any
other terms than he unconditional surrender of
the southern people, will open the eyes of others
besides Mr Stephens.

A correspondent of the Columbus Enquirer
states that the rebel cruiser Sea King, now the
Shenandoah, whose deeds about to equal
those of the old Sumter, is commanded by Lieut..
James Iredell Waddeil of North Carolina Lieut..
Waddell, at the beginning of this revolution, was
an officer Of the United States navy and absent on
three years cruise in the Mediterranean. During
the first part of the second year Of the war, his
ship, the Vaudalia We believe, returned to the
United States, and Lieut.. Waddell resigned. He
was closely watched by the Federal authorities,
but managed to escape fnally by swimming the
Potomac river during dark and stormy night
1t did not seem. proper to the authorities at Rich
mond to increase his rank, but no higher tribute
could have been paid to his qualities as an officer
than his selection, among SO many of higher grade,
for such an important command as the one he holds
at present.

THE N. c. COMMISSIONERS TO RICHMOND
Messrs Pool, Carter, Person snd Hall appeared in
Richmond while there, Commissioners
sent by the Legislature of this State for the pur-
poses OF conference, &c. 1t very gratifying
to US to mark the hospitable and distinguished
consideration shown to the State through her Leg
islative Representatives The gentlemen were
admitted to an immediate and protractcd interview
with President Davis, who, Notwithstanding that
be suffering from a severe attack of neural gia,
at accorded reception to our delegation
The matters Of conference were, presume con-
identia but We are enabled to say, that the Pres
ident was frank, unreserved and confding; that he
presented to the commissioners a full history of
his policy as connected with peace negotiations
and that the interview resulted sgreeably and use
fully After passing from the audience with
President Davis, the delegation were presented to
the ladies of the Mansion and were entertained
with refreshing hospitalities. The Legislature of
Virginia, in both Houses, extended to the Com
missoners of North Carolina privileged seats upon
the floor Of their respective bodies, and the Gov
error Of the Commonwealth entertained them at
breakfast. Important conferences, we understand
took place between the delegation and our Con-
gressonal representation, all of which, we presume
will be before the public by the report of the gen.
tlemen themselves.
One thing We are sure was prominent with all
men that no State should desert he. sisters; or
enter upon the mad project ofseporate State action.
We await the report Of our Commissioners with
satisfaction, because from what we observed, We
feel assured that their visit to Richmond and their
conferences there, gratifying to all engaged;
and we have great confidence that good will result
from this action of the Legislature -Ruleigh Con-
tcdcrate.
