We bad the pleasure Of spending few
days, embracing last Sabbath, with our
brethren in ClarksvAle. The renewal of old
friendships, some OF them formed many
years ago, together with the creation of
many new and pleasant acquaintanceships,
and the associations and services Of the sane
tuary, made the occasion to us peculiarly
interesting and pleasing.
There were some, however, whose presence
we sadly missed, who have ceased to live
and suffer, and have gone to their eternal
reward.
Ali yes, where is the Methodist preacher
visiting that pleasant city, whos-not to men-
ton the names Of others--wil not feel the
void made by the death of the Rev. II. +.
Beaumont, the genial gentleman, the holy
man Of God, who spent the years of his life
in making others happy He has ceased
from his labors, but his works do follow him.
Peace to his memory, and the blessing of
kind Heavenly Father upon his stricken
familyl
Since our last Annual Conference the
Church there has been blest with an exceed
ingly interesting, gracious revival. Some
sixty members have been added, and the
whole Church become so thoroughly and
happily organized that permanent useful
ness may be confidently expected from these
valuable accessions.
We attended the prayer-meeting, the Sun
day-school, joined in the communion of the
sacrament, ministcred from the pulpit Sab
bath morning and evening, and feel that 1t is
good, and every way meet to bear testimony
to the works OF faith and labors Of our breth:
reu there.
The pastor, Rev. Robert S. Hunter, our
special friend and brother, is earnestly and
warmly devoted to is work. How free and
comfortable we felt in the time passed in his
| pleasant. parsonage home!
One can scarcely fail to note the complete
harmony and cordiality subsisting between
the pastor and his membership. No Earring
note, no discordant sound can be heard there.
The only variant note We could discover
was in the shape Of an apprehension by
some of the considerable officials, respecting
the amount of work their preacher was TAX
ing upon himself. 1t seemed to them that, to
be always at the Sunday-school, at every
prayer-meeting class meeting visiting his en-
tire membership, hunting up the last one of
his flock near or remote, looking after every
thing, neglecting nothing great nor small
together with the dead hours of the night
assiduosly passed in preparation for the pull
| pit, looked like much of labor for the share
Of any one man. For, besides the regular
Charge, he is looking after and cultivating
several remote points on the outskirts of the
city. With him we visited one of these
points on Sabbath afternoon, and preached
to small, attentive, serious congregation,
and felt that the occasion was one of in
terest and profit and that the labor which
may be bestowed there will yield valuable
precious returns. Pro TEN.

ADMIRAL SENMEs. The order forbidding
Admiral Semmes to discharge the functions
of County Judge, and the suspension of the
Mayor of Norfolk, created some sensation
among the friends of the parties. 1t is very
impoltic in the people of the South to elect
to Office any man who has not been pardon
ed. To do so, places them in false position
that of seeming defiance, and iG forces the
President into false position-that of SEEM
ing tyranny. We are no advocate of knuck-
ling to radical demands, but regret any act
which brings, unnecessarily, the power of
the Executive into collision with the wishes
of any portion of the Southern people. 1t is
mutually embarrassing, and weakens cause
which needs all the strength that can be i'm
parted TO II by forbearance and prudence.
Tho Radicals rave and swear whenever q
reconstructed rebel is promoted to office, and
denouncc it as evidence Of lurking treason
The only answer that should be given to such
demands should be u repetition of the oilense
as often as opportunities occur. The simple
truth Is, that the Union men Of the South
with rare exceptions, are the flag end q
Southern population, and not fit to represent
constituency OF free negroes, much less O
brave, generous, and enlightened people; and
It is better and more honorable to stay out OF
the Union forever, than to stoop to raise such
men to positions of honor and grave re.
sponsibility. We have stopped enough al
ready, and If we ARE to re-entcr the Union,
IL, /, be with forms as erect as conscious rec
titude can make them.
To elect to Office, unpardoned rebels, is TO
RAISE an issue with the President which
weakens him and adds strength to the Radi-
cals. For these reasons, alone, 1t is obiec-
tionable, and with this exception, we would
advise tho Southern people to select their
best men. The opposite policy viii not ad.
vance our interest. aud cannot fail 10 de-
grade US in our own aud the eyes of the
world.

VINO Is TO Nr?-one Conway, lately a
Bureau agent, reports to the New York
Chamber Of Commerce, that there is no use
In trying to Introduce capital aud labor in the
South, because the people, here, "hatc the
North, the Union and the freedmen" as in
tensely rs during the war. viii Conway in
form us what the dominant party, North, is
doing to engender the opposite feeling? Why
should We be required to love Union with
which we have no other connection than the
iron rod of oppression? The Radicals are
internal fools if they expect to squeeze out
emotions of affectionate regard under press
of wrong and insult. Were the case revers-
ed the Yankees would ''lie and fawn and
ilattcr'-profess unbounded attachment to
the Southern half of the Union, with the OK
pec.ation of converting their hypocrisy into
gold. BIT Southern men are not made up
of such stuff. They are too sensitive on
points Of justice and honor not to despise
those who insult and Cypress them, and toe
manly and truthful to profess what they dc
not feel. But Conway lies when he says
capital and labor are kept out of the South
by Southern feeling. Radical villainy is the
sole cause. Reinstate the South in its rights
and withdraw the military; then there will
be fair field for capital and labor, and such
liars as Conway will be silenced.

A SLIGHT CHANGE-The visit of General
Granger TO East Tennessee seems to have
kindled desire, in the hearts of the Radi-
icals, to put n stop to bloodshed and violence,
especially in the county of Washington. This
change is not the result of reviving virtue
and justice, or they would not publish the
glaring falsehood, that it is ex-rebels who
have perpetrated the gross outrages which
demand the attention of the military. An
unarmed minority is physically disqualified
for such deeds, and Southern soldiers were
never born with such base instincts, nor
taught, by precept and example, that MUIR

ish fanatical hate.
But why call II the trial Of Mr.. Davis? II
is a mockery Of law and justice, so to desig.
nate It, Or treason, recognized Lelligerents
cannot be held guilty except in violation OIL
international laws and usages and Of trea-
son TO the Federal Constitution, States cannot
be guilty so long as the theory of the Gov
eminent and the intent of the federal COM
pact remain unchanged. Instead, then, Of
the vindictive attempt to fasten the crime OF
treason upon Mr.. Davis, il would be wiser,
more just and humane to call National
Convention to decide whether the States, In
their sovereign capacity, created the General
Government as their joint agent, or the Gen.
eral Government, in the penitude of It's SOW
ereignty, created the States and branded
them IS. 1t is upon this point that the
question of treason hinges. If the Union
was, originally, voluntary partnership OF
States, and the General Government the
creation and the agent of the firm, it is alb.
surd to assert that eleven States had not the
right to withdraw when the majority of the
contracting parties violated the articles Of
agreement.
This has been held to be the true doc.
trine, by the leading men of both sections
ever since the adoption of tho Constitution
and the trainers of that instrument so de
clared 1t, when they voted, unanimously,
against proposition to clothe the Federal
Government with power to coerce a State
desiring to secede. If this be the true doc.
trine, the war upon the South was as infa.
nous as it was barbarous. And who is tc
decide whether it was the true doctrine or
not? Surely, not the maddened mob of ia
natics who have toiled, ceaseessly, for thirty
years, to break up the Union And even il
the decision did rest with the North, its lead
ing men had declared secession to be State
right and had threatened to resort to it. long
before the South attempted to secede. I'm
der all the circumstances, it is the acme Of
arrogance and tyranny, to charge the South,
Individually or collectively, with the crime
of treason. The South did not conspire with
the enemies of the United States, nor did it
take up arms for the overthrow of that Gov
eminent. 1t made no war upon the consti-
tuition, and infringed the rights of no State
that chose to live under it. 1t claimed the
right of peaceable secession, and attempted
to exercise it. 1t must be shown that this
right did not exist before such charge can
justly be made, and TO infict the penalty for
treason, before this point is settled, is moth
ing more than the exercise of brute force to
crafty brute passion.
