Bishop Soulc's Letter In Regard 10 the Name
and Policy Of tho Methodist Episcopal Church,

We find in the PicdgnHs the following more
detailed reference to the letter which we n day
or two ago mentioned as having been written
by the venerable Bishop Soule to the General
Conference now III session in New Orleans:
a very interesting communication was read
from the Rev. Bishop Soule, the senior Metho-
dist Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, and the Oldest minister Of that church
IN the United States, and probably in the
world. who, at very advanced age, still lives
near Nashville. The Bishop felt that it was
impossible for him 10 be present with them,
though he earnestly desired so to be. He was
calmly awaiting, with steadfast hope, the
great change. He gave them much earnest
and useful advice, dwelling particularly on
the necessity of the preservation of the itlnc
rant system, which he thought vital 10 the
church and TO religion.
Speaking of the proposed change in the name
of the church, he greatly favored, if any change
was made, that of the " Wesleyan Methodist
Episcopal Church. rs the church was essen
TALLY Wesleyan in its distinctive character
AS to the increase of Bishops, he thought it
should never reach one for each conference ::
evidently because it initiated somewhat
against the theory and system of the itine-
rancy.
Bishop Soule also expressed a willingness 10
see the laity represente ted in conference, but in
such way rs not TO interfere with the minis
terial functions, and not 10 draw upon the
treasury, as now provided for, 10 pay the cost
of their attendance.
Other suggestions were made of great value.
A resolution was adopted expressing the
greatest respect for the venerable and yene-
rated Bishop, and a filial regard for the lessons
of his wisdom and experience.

THE RICHMOND THEATRE.-The dramatic sea-
son. under the management of Mr.. Dufield,
opened on Tuesday night with the perform
ance of Roneo oad inlet, the principal charac-
ters in which were well sustained by Miss
Mary Mitchell and Mr.. Albaugh. After the
tragedy, the Bonaie Fish Wife was played and
with great success. On last night, the play OF
CqmiUe was represented, Miss Mary Mitchell
playing the Col"ette.
Tonight, MrcJeth will be produced with 4
strong caste, Mr.. Dufiield playing Hecdte.-
Locke incidental music will be performed.
The play OF Whiting fer the Verdict, which ran
for upwards of four hundred nights in Lon
don, is in rehearsal, and will shortly be pro-
duccd.
An effort is now being made 10 establish the
Theatre upon n substantial and permanent
footing, and all OF our citizens who are in
terested i'll the drama should encourage the
lessee by showing that they appreciate his en-
deavorS The surest way 10 have good acting
and good plays is TO have crowded houses, and
this can be easily done if the public will give
the same patronage to their own Theatre that
they would willingly extend TO one in Il north
crn city.
Mr.. EAroN's PoEN on LABOR. On Friday
evening next, Mr.. Samuel /. Eaton will re-
cite his poem on Labor i'll the Mayo-strect
Universalist Church. He does this 1T the
request OF the Machinsts Union. This
poem was repeated in several northern cities,
and once in this city at the Mechanics lnsti-
tute. From encomiums passed upon IL, Mr..
Eaton's effort has everywhere been received
with much applause. A New York paper says
of ii: The Poem Of Labor was 4 gem in its
way, and Mr.. Eaton may very we'll be proud OF
such compliments as the daily press OF onr
city, without an exception, paid his maiden
effort in New York. Such an Grafton is un-
common, and so much has been written on the
theme that its original treatment Is as re.
freshing as il was able and beautiful.

Andrew Johnson's sufferings.


From the Washington Chronicle.
Colonel Stokes, of Tennessee, il
his speech at Metzerett's Hall, Sat
urday evening, took occasion to re-
fer to the "suherings" of the ''hum
bic individral' in the following style:
And again he says: WHO has
suffered more than l have? Who
has offered up more sacrifices than
have?" Now, Mr. President, you
ought not to have asked such ques-
tions, because you ought to have
known that some of the Radical
members of Congress happen 10
know you and all about your pre-
tended sacrifices.
Now, fellow citizens, / intend TO
review this matter q little, and 10
show you how great have been his
sufferings. / do it out of ne disre-
spect to him. l am not making war
upon him, aud do not intend to do it.
But having stigDatized me, he makes
it necessary for me to bring the chalk
right up to the line, and chalk out
this matter. Now for the facts: He
left home at Greenville, Tennessee,
in a buggy, with Col Jim Carter,
and rode over to Kentucky and then
took the cars for Washington, where
he took his seat in the United States
Congress as Senator, receiving S3,-
900 year as salary, together with
his mileage. Afterward, being made
q Brigadier General by the lamented
Lincoln, he was sent to Tennessee as
MILITARY Governor. On reaching
Tennessee he forcibly took posses
sion of a rebel house right opposite
the Capitol, not exceeding one hun
dred yards. 1t was q superb man
sion, elegantly furnished, and his
office was fitted up in The most mag
nificent manner. Here he lived IN
the best style, supplied with every
comfort, and indeed with every lux
ury. He Immediately ordered me to
20 and seize upon all the Confederate
Tkisky I could find! l did so, and
had it stored away in the Capitol in
charge of the provost marshal. /
