THE METHODIST CHURCH SOUTH
To the Methodist Episcopal Church be-
longs the honor of the first ecclesiastical dis
ruptiou growing ont Of The ant-slavery dis
cusslon. Twcuty-one years ago was organized
the Methodist Episcopal Church South. This
took place years before Southern church
members nnd Clergy IN other denominations
lost fellowship with their Northern brethren
on the ground Of adherence to man-selling
and woman-wAIpping. Secession then first
bcgnn. when The SontheEn MrthndiAs with
drew from disturbing alliance with carncst,
frecspokcn men who denounced human bon-
dngc ns a sin. The c1cfl, thus long since
made, las wiaened, and tlc bark l,as grown
over the scar.
Time nas ecalcd and scared the scar of the
division. Quite different the case from that
Of denominations less quick 10 rcbuke the sin
Of mau-s!caltng. The Episcopal Church, In
deed, has Bo recently parted from its Southern
brethren that tic old channels Of fellowship
arc being rapidly taken up, There Is hope Of
the Presbyterian and B1ptist elements. The
clergy Of Ill these denominations South have
indeed aided tue rebellion, and have that Elm
to turn from md repent Of Their other sin
the war las put away from them, nad diyi-
sion on s1avery Is impossible. We look to sec
old bonds restored, old Christian fe1lowships
Won back, aud The promise is fair for its ac-
compliehment generally. Tic only exception
Is the one which furnishes the caption Of this

THE EVACUATION OF RICHMOND.
Everyone is on tiptoe in expectation OF the eyac-
uaton OF Richmond although present there On ao-
sence Of any Indications pointing to an carly consume
nation OF that event which oil so cevoutly wish.
no NEWS GOOD NEWS.
The exchange of prisoners is still continued and
every day brings the usual budget Of Richmond papers,
their dngy columns shorn Of every item OF war news
interest or importance 1t is but fair to presume howl
ever that if anything bearing the shadow of resem
bance TO reverse to our cooperating armies the Rebe
authorities would at make haste to lay 1t before
their thoroughly disheartened people. The Richmond
papers OF today full file Of which accompany this, IN
their endeayor to conces from the public their hopeless
condition cannot avoid betraying nervousness not az
all surprising under the circumstances.
ALL QUIET.
With the exception that they have contracted their
lines somewhat on our right and moved considerable
bodies of troops left in anticipation OF another
attack in that quarter from Grant everything at the
front wears It's usual aspect 1t Is reported on seeming
good authority that they have removed much Of their
heavy ordnance from their forts along the ine but
cannonade of few minutes from our works never fails
TO elicit response from the usual batteries.
THE ROAD TO RICHMOND.
Two boat loads of Rebel prisoners, among whom 10
Roger A. Pryor march from Varina this morning, viz
Boulware Landing and the Osborne pike. to Richmond
This route is rendered necessary at present on account
of the high water in the river vhich makes the navga-
ton Of vessel through the Rebel distractions at once
difficult and perilous.
GEN. SINGLETON.
Gen. Singleton accompanied by Mrs. Gen. Helm ana
Mrs. Major Pratt both OF whom have husbands in the
Rebel service go through our lines to Richmond this
morning; the two ladies' to remain and Gen. s. to re-
turn in few days from another Sescc mission. Inc
renewal OF peace negotiations is oosd upon with great
disfavor BY our troops, who are fully convinced tnas
