The Petersburg Express, of Yesterday
saws it has substantial grounds for the
belief that Giant was reinforced last
week by 10000 Of Thomas troops, and
during all of Thursday, Friday, and Sat

be otherwise than comforting to General

ga friend has handed us an eight page
pamphlet by "w n. v."-Hon. w. H. Yinton
entitled aBrief Reply to the article in the
Portland Press of Saturday, Sept. 2, 1856" on
the Maine Law Convention. As Mr.. v. did
not favor us with a copy we do not know that
It'll decorous to allude to it. If he had sent
the article to the Press we should certainly
have published it in our columns, as an act of
Justice to him. In relation to his course on the
Maine Law in 1856 he makes some explana-
tons entirely new to us, which go far to clear
his record and to exculpate him from, deserved
censure in relation to that matter, especially
since he confesses to sincere regret for the vote
he cast that year, claims to have been deceived,
and did all he could the very next year to re-
pair the damages.

FRDAY AFTERNooN.-At two O'Clock Rev.
c. F. Allen, preached from lisa. So: 1. After
an interesting INTRODUCTION, in which he gave
the historical facts in the history of the Jewish
people as connected With the text, and showed
its more important reference to Christ, he
announced the subject for CONSIDERATION

Gus obstacles in the way of the sinners saliva

in the deprayity of our nature-ln the char
actor of those sayed-n simplicity of the in
strvmeptality by which he saves, and in the
fact that it extends to the uttermost. The
services at the stand were followed by pub
lie prayer meeting when many presented them
selves for the prayers of the Church, and were
greatly Dressed. g3 s-'A
In Intervening was held the last public SER
vice for preaching. Rev. E. Martin announe-
ed for his text Neh. 6: g. The character of
Nehemiah and his position as cup-bearer to
Artaxerxes His interest and determination
in building Jerusalem when he heard of it's
sad condition were presented. The preacher
then drew an anology between the work of
Nehemiah and the Christians work Its
greatness was dwelt upon. The enemies
against which each had to contend; some
times with SCOTS and ridicule-then with
threats, and afterwards 18th propositions for
compromise. He encouraged and urged the
Christian to his work from the time it takes to
accomplish it, and tile reward offered to the
laborer
IS SATURDAY MISUNDERSTANDING large part
of the night has been heard the sound of prayer
and praise and singing. Visitors upon the
ground who had not tents or places to lodge,
apeacably retired from the encampment. This
morning at an early hour as many as could be
be released from the work of preparing their
tents and baggage assembled in front Of the
stand and listened to faithful and practical re-
marks of the Presiding Elder, DIR. Weber, who,
by his gentlemanly department, dignifed man
ner, manifest decision, has maintained the or
dersof the meeting The concluding prayer
was by Rev. CT. Allen.
The singing during the meeting has been
uniformerly good, and much praise is due to
those who have conducted this part of worship
The church has been greatly benefited. A
goodly number have been converted, and the
friends of Kennebunk Camp Meeting feel
greatly encouraged in the hopes entertained as
to its future success. The ground has again
been leased for twenty years, and those to
whom the management Of the meeting is COM
mitted are determined to spare no efforts for
Improvement. OBSERVER.

The AnglO African seeks to inculcate habits
of frugality, virtue and temperance among
both free and freedmen, to promote education
by holding up to gaze the honors won by many
of our people in the field of letters, and also
endeavors to promote spirit of patriotism
among them, by bringing to view the glories
won by colored troops on every battle field of
the South on which they have contended.
The union of vast numbers who have been
long separated by the memorable demands of
slavery, was also an object in establishing the
paper, and we knoso that it has done, and is
doing, much good in that direction. q
These are some Of the objects for which the
paper is published, and to the accomplishment

CATHOLICISM VERSUS FEN1AN1sM.

CATHOLICISM VERSUS FENIANISM.
There is trouble brewing in the Fenian
camp. Archbishop Kenrick Of st. Louis, has
refused the use of St. Patrick's Church in that
city for the purpose of Fenian funeral, at
which great display was to have been made,
and has further directed the Superintendent
ofthe Catholic Cemetery not to admit any
procession Of men or women bearing Fenian
insignia within its gates. The Archbishop
declares that members OF the, Brotherhood are
not admissible to the sacraments of the church
so long as they remain united with an associ.
alton which he declares to be s.immoral in its
object--the exciting of rebellion in Ireland
unlawful and illegal in its means, a quasi mill
tary organization in this country, while at
peace with England, to be made effective in
the event of war with that power"
As the members of the organization are
nearly all Roman Catholics, such pastoral Or
der as this is virtually calling upon them to
choose whom they viii serve We shall see
which is the stronger, the Church or the Broth
