style.
The Folding Case of the Family Machine

From the Raleich Sentinel.

HENDERSON, N. c., Sept. I'd, 1865.
On yesterday negro man whose name did
not learn, committed very great outrage on a
highly respectable lady Of this county (Gran-
vlle,) residing near this place.
Yhe lady is widow, and from motives of
delicacy | suppress her name. He had been
lurking about her premises for day or two,
and watching his opportunity. When nearly
alone he seized her person, dragged her in a
most brutal manner to the earth, and committed
the helhsh outrage on her person.
The alarm was soon spread. Her father flew
first to her rescue, and overlook him in his
flight. The negro turned upon him, seized his
gun aud deliberately attempted to shoot him,
but providentially the cap popped only and his
life was spared.
The neighbors gathered thick and fast,
put the dogs on his track, and after six hours
hard chase he was captured. lie was carried
BY justly incersed people before the lady, who
lay suffering at her house. She recognized him
he confessed the outrage, and was straightway
shot-a punishment due to the enormity of his
crime.

The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1865-09-12

The address of the Bishops of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. South, although it is signed
but by three of them may be considered the sen
timents of all of them. 1t has disappointed many
who hoped that the Conference called i'll the
interest of reconciliation, and that these prelates
| would be foremost in the work of reunion. The
Methodist Church separated twenty years
ago upon a moral and political issue. which
then vital-namely. the righteousness of slavery.
That question is settled, and there need be no
more discussion over it. Being renewed, there
is really no obstacle to the reunion of the Meth
odist Church at the North and the South, as upon
ecclesiastical points there has always been ac-
cord between the two branches.-Ph'adelph ia
Enquirer.
The above is an extract from all article in the
Philadelphia Inquirer assauting the Bishops of
the southern branch Of the Methodist Church and
disappointing their motives.
How can the "Inquirer' any one else expect
the Southern Methodists to unite with the North
ern Methodist Church while the latter keeps up
continual abuse of the former. The Northern
Methodsts are the most fanatical set of human
beings in the world In their Conferences, and
their Church pulpits, they talk and preach poll
tics, and abuse, denounce and misrepresent South
ern people; and their fanatical resolutions and
acts are applauded in buildings dedicated to Gods
service lust like we'll acted comedy is applauGed
in Theatre.
The slavery question is not now in the way of
a re union but the unchristfan acts and the ir-
religious spirit exhibited by Northern Methodsts
forbid and will prevent reu union: The South
ern Bishops enjoin Southern ministers to preach
Christ and Him crucifed," while the Northern
Bishops encourage harangues about John
Brown" Uncle Tom" and the "wickedness of
the rebels If the Northern Church really
wanted the Southern Church to re-unite with it,
it would not contnne its abuse of Southern Meth
odists. Southern Methodists, while they intend
to be loyal citizens of the United States, do not
intend to be mixed up with political preachers
and political preaching. If the Northern Meth
odists had shown the liberal and christian spirit
which has been exhibited by the Episcopalians of
that section since the close of the war, union
might have been effected.
