ANOTHER HERO BRoUGHr HoME-The
Raleigh Sentinel says that N ajor Henry Miller
has just returned from Gettysburg, Penn :,
bringing with him, for re-interment in North
ampton Co., the remains of the gallant Col. Ii.
Il. Burgwyn, Of the Twenty SIKH North Caro-
lima regiment, who fell at the head Of his col
umn, halfway up the heights, in that awful
contest of July, 1868. Major Miller had no
difficulty in finding the burial spot, having been
one of the number who inferred the body The
graves of hundreds of the Confederate dead who
fell there have been ploughed over, and the
head boards scattered arouud but the grave Of
Col. Burgwyn had been sacredly protected by
the gentleman on whose grounds be was buried.
Major Miller speaks in the most compliment
tary terms of the treatment he received at the
hands of the citizens of Gettysburg and vicinity.
He was entertained at the private residence of
Jesse Walters, Esq, and was not permit
ted to pay for any item of expense that
his visit Incurred. The Southern Express
Company, with the liberality that is character;
stic of its officers, not only gave Major Miller
furlough from his duties to enable him to fulfill
his mournful mission, but awarded the corpse
free transportation to North Carolina, and all
expenses were paid by them.

Esz- Last week a gentleman from North Car
olina but now connected with the Southern Ex-
press Company, met in Washington one Of his
former slaves whom the war had liberated. The
negro recognizing his former master lifted his
hat, and they shook hands on the avenue. Said
the gentleman "Come, Sam, I reckon you want
something to drink and the two stepped into a
saloon. "Here, barkeeper, give this boy some
thing to drink" The barkeeper looked at the
complexion presented blythe case, and launched
out in TRADE of abuse against the gentleman,
whom he termed I'D Radical negro Worship
per" and said that if he gave that niger drink
it would ruin his house, for no. white man who
heard Oft would enter it again. The gen.
tleman explained that the negro was at one time
his slave, and he his master, and SO far from be-
ing Radical or a worshipper of the negro, he
was strong Southern man in feeling and senti-
ment, and had fought in the Southern army
The astonished barkeeper put up both his hands
with "Well Enever," and supplied an extra Julep
for Sam, convinced that the real. friend of the
negro, after all, were not the Radicals, but their
former masters -Rtchmond Dispatch.

cession to certain leading American capitalists,

CoNGREssToNAI AproRrroNSENr. Tho amend
ment Of the Constitution, proposed by the Com
mttec on Reconstruction, has been adopted by
the House by much more than the two-thrds vote
yeas, 100 nays 46 Previous to this vote, the
amendment Of Mr.. Schenck Of Ohio, apportion-
ing Congressional representatives among the states
according to the number Of voters ios representa-
tives 10 state legislatures, was rcjected-aycs 80 ;
nays 1870. The amendment adopted by the House
is as follows;
Resoirod, BY the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatiyes Of the United States Of America, in
Congress assembled two-thrds Of both Houses
concurring that the following Article be proposed
to the Legislatures Of the several States as an
Amendment to the Constitution OF the United
States, which, when ratified by three-fourths Of
said Legislatures shall be valid as part Of said
Constitution, viz
ARTICL.-- Representatives shall be appor-
toned among the several States which may be in
cluded within this Union, according to their re-
spectve numbers, counting the whole number Of
persons in each State, excluding Indians, not
not taxed, provided, that whenever the elective
franchise shall be denied or abridged in any State
on account Of race or color all persons therein Of
such color, shall be excluded from the ba-
sis Of representation
There has been great deal of clamor against
this proposition, by those in Congress who assume
to be the friends of the late slave states and there
will be great deal more by few of that class
who dwell in New England we therefore invite
attention to the fact that it gives to the Southern
States precisely the same proportion Of rcpresen-
tatiyes to population that Vermont will have, pro-
yided those states adopt the Vermont rule-that
is, treat all persons alike irrespective OF race or
color Those states, and all the states will have
the measure Of representation in their own hands
Is not that liberal enough? Certainly we think
the true objection for the negro-haters to make is
that Il IS too liberal. II, as they say, this is " a
white mans government then white men only
should be represented, aud the South would be
reduced TO half the number Of representatives it
can have under this amendment, and 10 less than
it had before the rebellion. We know. of course
what these men mean by white government TO
wit, that every white man in Southern state shall
offset two white men in a Northern state As the
Constitution now stands, members Of Congress
will be apportioned to the whole population, which
in the South is about equally divided between
white and black, while the elections are to be made
in the South by whites alone. The practical effect
Of course would be TO give a Southern white man.
late in rebellion, double the political power in
Congress Of Northern white man who has helped
whip the Southern rebel into loyalty Where is
there a loyal or an honest man who does not think
it right TO change that rule?

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

ANOTHER NEw Church IL MONTPRtrER-On
Friday evening, I'd inst. at a meeting in the YES
try Of the Brick Church. it was resolved that due
regard for the prophecies Of public worship, the
convenience Of the people and the credit Of the
parish and the town, require the erection Of a new
church, at an estimated expense Of from thirty to
forty thousand dollars. The last figure, in our
opinion, is the lowest ought to think about, and
therefore the figure we should all ic0rk for in right
good earnest The meeting also adopted a form
of subscription, and both the resolution and the
form Of subscription were adopted unanimously.
The determination was TO have a new and good
church aud to this all opinions as to conditions of
subscription were subordinated This is the true
way. new church never can be built if every
body shall wait for everybody else to agree about
the details. committee has the matter of sub
scriptions in charge, aud viii Immediately enter
upon their duties. Now let the people meet them
cordially and lberally. 90 come let us worship
the Lord in the beauty Of holiness, said David on
one OCCASION and we read in the margin that She
invitation was to worship q" in HIS glorious sane
tTary.n The sanctuary should be glorious for
purity and beauty, a the temple was. How unlike
that are most sanctuaries and ours If our pri-
vate houses no better, we should hardly wish
to invite friends to them

unusual degree of religious interest in Ascutney-
vile, which commenced in the Sabbath School
some months ago, and still continues Sixteen

and two by letter, nearly doubling the number Of
