The following, from recent address by Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, makes extremely distasteful
reading for some of his political associates:
should be sorry to see any more government
agents spreading out through the land. If the
President would call home every treasury agent
| that is disgracing the North and the governments,
and humanity, and alternating the South /, fer one
should be glad. There are, no doubt, men who
stand above bribery and suspicion of Corruption
noble men and true; but all through the South,
take them comprehensiyey, they are as loeusts
eating up the land They are predatory nuisances
and degrade the North, from which they come
and the government under which they serve.

THE FATE OF JOHN II. MAURY

From the Mobile Register and Advertiser
We published a week ago, an article
from the Richmond Wing upon the subject
Of the mysterious disappearance, at Nicks-
burg, in January, 1868, Of Lieut.. j. II.
MAURY, Of the Confederate Army, a son Of
Commodore NJ. f. MAURY, at that time
serving upon the staff Of his relative, Major
Gen. DABNEY ii. MAURY.
On the day when that article appeared
that is on Sunday last-a stranger called at
the Office Of this paper and stated that he
had some Information upon the subject of
the mysterious disappearance Of the young
officer.
This gentleman gave his name as w. II.
HARRIS, Of Louisiana, formerly in the Con-
federate service as a scout, under the or
ders Of Gen. STEPHEN d. LEE.
None Of the editorial corps Of the AdUcr-
tiser and Register we're in when Mr.. HARRIS
called. A memorandum of the information
given by him was hastily taken by one Of
the clerks Of the office. It is imperfe and
unsatisfactory, and we have RETAINED from
publishing il, in the hope Of learning some
thing more upon the subject, but have not
been able to DO so.
Mr.. HARRIS states according to this me-
morandum that Lieut.. MAURY was captured
by party Of the enemy and taken across
the Mississippi river and that he was then
shot, or, in other words murdered, by order
of one GRIFFIN, a deserter from the Confed-
crate service He says that six balls were
shot through his body, and that he was
buried on the spot-about eight miles below
Vickshurg, on the opposite bank Of the
river.
Mr.. HARRIS also states that two fingers OF
the left hand-the middle finger and the one
below it-were shot of.
He also states that JOHN II. RAINEY, of
Kinds county, Mississippi, was present when
the murder was committed, and can proba-
bly, give the particulars and identify the spot
where the young officer was buried. Mr..
RAINEY is believed to be either in Natchez
or Vicksburg, Mississippi.
We have been unable TO learn what reason
or pretext was assigned for the barbarous act
Of shooting prisoner in cold blood, and
would fain hope that there is some mistake
in the account given. Our information is
however. that Mr.. HARRIS was very positive
in his assertions. The statement was hasti-
Nv made and taken down, end we regret that
we had no opportunity Of making further
inquiry

THE DECLARATION AND TESTING
NY" MEN.
Sensible Letter from the Hon. NeIH s.
Brown.

Brown.
A conference Of the declaration and testi-
mony portion of the Old School Presbyte-
rian Church against the doctrines and prac-
tees which have obtained and been propa-
gated in the Presbyterian Church in the
United States during the last five years, was
held in St. Louis on Thursday and Friday
last. Among the communications read was
tlie following very interesting one from the
Hon. NELL S. BRowN, of this State:
NASHVILLE, July 5, l866.-DEAR SIR
If | did not see so much Of the outer world
with which my destiny is cast to sadden and
discourage me, ! could find more time to
mourn over the discords which pervade the
Church of my fathers. nevertheless feel a
deep solicitude for all that concerns the
honor and the prosperity of an organization
within which my ancestors, as far back as |
know them, lived and died. 1t is really
distressing to a poor weatherbeaten
traveller such as l am, when driven
to bay by the world, l turn for
consolation to the church. and behold it also
full Of dssensions and all uncharitableness.
/ find the leaven Of the Pharasees wherever
] go; gray headed ministers instead of pray
ing for peace, invoking judgments on their
fellow-worms The truth is, radicaljsn, the
bane Of the hour, has got into the church as
well as the world, and it must run its course.
IL will be violent, but shOrt-lived. Peace
will succeed these storms, as certainly as it
follows the storms Of nature; and it will be
a benign, heavenly peace-all pervading.
Now is the time for statesmen and minis
tiers To make their record-in the midst Of
privation, persecution and confusion, l am
glad to see the stand you have taken. l do
not doubt your ability and your purpose to
maintain it at all hazards and to the last
extremity. / may not live to see it, but l
hope You will And if you live ten years,
you will see the demagogue5 in church and
State driven like ROBEsPIERRE and DAN
TON to the moral gullotine of society. They
must perish, OF social order will be van
pushed.
But | did not intend to express my
opinions, but only 10 assure you Of my high
appreciation Of your cause and the kind re-
membranes of your friend,
NELL S. Brown.

sBADIY BIr."-As dog stories seem to be
the order Of the day, we give the following
upyarnished tale a. it was related to us:
a gentleman who had a very fine resi-
dence up town. lately adorned the grounds
with more than ordinary taste. Among
other ornaments, not far from the street. he
placed a large cast-iron statue Of a dog,
whose belligerant appearance and defiant at
titude made him look as large as life and
twice as ngly' For weeks atterward the
little dogs and all on passing by the house,
never failed 10 give the statue compliment
ary bark and growl, which, however, never
disturbed It's eQuanimity. But one day a
bio old Towser from the country was follow
inc his masters market wagon into town,
and happened TO spy the hostile form Of the
cast-iron foe. A preliminary growl and
how-wow produced no effect. Surly and de-
faint his enemy continued to gaze at lin,
Canine nature could stand it no longer.
ono lean over the fence brought him into
the ward. and two or three more carried HIM
TO his mute Antagonist. Quicker than though
he attempted TO fasten his teeth on the cast
iron chaps OF the statue but the next mo
ment gave up the contest. The last that
was seen Of that dog he was sneaking out OF
the ward with his tail between his legs, the
most completely sold specimen Of canine so
ciety ever witnessed Mobile advertiser.
