TsxRs has been n manifest dispc

THxRR has been manifest disposi-
ton on the part of the leading Copper
heads Of this county to divide or break
up all churches or congregations where
the ministers were unwilling to comply
with their demands to ignore the cx-
istence of the Government, and the re-
auirements Of the Gospel to ''pray for
those in authority" Following the
teachings OF such men rs the editor of
the Gazette, wherever Copperhoad iniiu-
ence Is in the ascendant in any church,
that influence at once overrides the doe
trines oft church and the Bible, and
seeks to gag the ministry and prevent
the utterance ofany sentiment or the
breathing Of any supplication that does
not accord with their bigoted and dis
loyal notion of Christianity or patriot
ism; and failing to control or silence
the ministry by the expression of opin-
ion, the Withholding of support or the
application for relief to the tribunals
Of the Church, they resort to the last
great and popular argument of modern
Democracy, the irresponsible force oi
the mob.
Our readers ara familiar with the
st. Clairsvillo demonstration in this
direction, where the political mounte-
banks who control the copperhead par
ty OF the county, by falsehood and
fraud, black enough TO add infamy te
the midnight character of those who
psrpetrated them, closed churcl
against the citizens Of ST. Clairsyill'
and the respectable portion Of its owl
membership. A few of the sam'
fraternity, who learn their Christianity
as wen as their patriotism from thu
columns of Copperhead papers, have
been striving TO starye or force out tn
Presbyterian Minister at Morristowl
for no other reason than that in th'
dark struggle through which the coun
try 10 passing, that minister in his sup
plications TO Throne OF Grace ask
the God of Nations to support thos
in authority in our Government, ant

FoR several weeks we have been an

nouncing that after the first of Febru-
ary, at which time we enter upon the
fifth volume Of the, CHRONICLE since
we took possession of it, we should
send the paper to those subscribers
only who paid in advance. This fan
nouncement, VIC are pleased to learn,
is satisfactory to most Of our readers,
and we shall suffer less from the in
PRODUCTION of this reasonable reform
than we anticipated. A few subscri
bers, howeyer-and they are not gener-
ally of that class who are least able to
pay in this way-flnd objection to it,
and will probably suffer theirpapers to
be discontinued. 1t may not be amiss,
perhaps, to assign a few of our reasons
for adopting the advance pay system,
and the doing so may have the result
of satisfying portion of those who do
not see the propriety of its adoption,
and convincing them that it is the only
true system and is beneficial alike to
publisher and reader.
One of the disadvantages Of the old
system to the patrons was, that, when
a name once got on the publishers
books, it was very difficult to get it off
again, and the paper was continued and
a bill of two, -four, six or eight dollars
run up against the subscriber that he
never intended to incur, and when call
ed Oh to pay it would do so, if at all,
with secret dissatisfaction, and some
times open complaint Another is,
that men are induced to subscribe when
assured that it makes no difference
whether they pay in advance or not,
who would not if they had to pay in
advance, and he finds his accommodating
bill each day more difficult to pay, and
the editor refuses to discontinue his
paper until all arrearages are paid, and
thus the party is forced to pay for Q
paperfor years, that, perhaps he neve,
would have taken at all, or at longest
for n single year.
On tho other hand, scores Of names
are sent to the publisher under the
credit system of persons wholly ire
sponsible, and as he cannot possibly
know everybody within the limits IL
which his paper circulates, his list il
very seriously encumbered in tn,
course Of time with non-paying sub
scribers.
Again, names are sent in OF persons
whom the editor know wei, and who ar,
responsible men, and ought to take til,
paper, but after you have sent it fol
three or four years, the bill is sent ou
and the subscriber coolly informs tn,
editor that he never ordered thepaper
and has never taken 1t outof the office
J and does not consider himself respon
} sible for it. :
Again: II Is very annoying, as wei
as Improbable, after paper has beer
sent four years to a subscriber to be in
formed when the bill Is sent out, tina
the party has moved West, or has lef
J the eosnty. but this is no unusual an

Memphis didn't belong to white folks
yesterday; they we're OF no account; the
colored population had everything their own
way, aud celebrated the emancipation proc
lamation of Father Abraham on grand
scale AT one lime. in the morning, Main
street was theirs flom one end to the her,
to the exclusion of vehicles, and the entire
blockade of the sidewalks and crossings. =
1t looked as II all Africa had been turned
loose, and taken permanent possession of
this goodly city. All ages and sexes were
there, and every shade, from the octoroon
to the deepest dyed negro that ever Piled a
hoe, or shuffled through plantation break
down. 1t was grotesque scene, and yet
full of interest, in comparison with the past.
1t was strongly suggestive of the future.
This mass OF men, women and pican-
ninnies, in garbs of more variety of colors
made the coat Of Joseph historical, and
styles of the past half century, formed in
procession at the eerner of Main and Vance
streets at ten clock in the morning, under
the direction of Grand Marshal Wash
