/ | have none 2" You ask the question, " are
we the (Southern MetbOdists) not In the same
condition rs in which Christ aud his Apostles
began TO build2 would answer emphdHeaily
no, ron are far from II. Christ never rs5siied
against any Government, neither did he
teach rebellion, nor infusc that spirit In any
ono. he taughthis disciples TO I" render un-
to Ceasnr the things that are Ccasar's,'' etc.
and was himself Obedient, even unto death.
His Apostles followed in his footsteps, and
went about doing good, and although desti-
tute Of many of the comforts of this life, yet
they were Gods poor.
You speak about " Baltimore Conference,
having walked out into the fields of Mary-
land and Virginia, without II house or n dul-
lar When you speak about " Baltimore
Conference you have reference to n .faeton
that withdrew from the "0ld Methodist
Church. because they were re6eks at the
commencement Of the war, and called them
selves Independent Methodists." Now,
when the war is over, they seek n society
that is congenial 10 them in sentiment and
spirit. They call II convention after havi ~
a RomGdc existence for nearly five years, and
resolved to join the Church South" ard
have the ggrontery to call themselves the
Baltimore Conference, The reason they had
neither "a house nor n dollar was because
the. never hid any. The real " Baltimore
Conference" is in a more prosperous condi-
ton than ever before in its history.
You say, that " these are shakey times,
when money IS ut stake" Do l. understand
you to mean, that the reason a certain
preacher, left our Church and returned to his
original fold, that you bought him back with
u larger amount Of missionary money, than
he received from the Old Church If so,
yOn still have some money.
In regard to the Rev, DR.. Ingle, who has
been spoken of so freely, ifall be even trne,
you aud Brother Neal have said about him,
/ still believe him honest and sincere Ia his
profession Of loyalty to the Government, and
the "Old Methodist Church. and am glad
to hail him as a,brothcr in the Lord, and hope
that Others may do likewise. | would say in
conclusion Brother Dickry, that am looking
To- the day 10 come, when all the Methodist
Families shall constitute bnt one Church. 1t
will take time and Christian zeal 10 bring this
about, aud the more we have of tue mind
that was IN Christ, the sooner this will be
consumated. But, whether we constitute
ole, or two Methodist families, let us strive
to live and love vs. brethren in the Lord,
,hen shall We be the better prepared TO teach
transgressors the ways OF the Lord, and sim
ncrs shall be converted to God.
W. W. NgAL-Eiior Bristol Ners.--I would

FRIDAY, June l5.-In the case of Harriet
Delp against George Delp on petition for
divorce, decree was entered dissolving the
marriage relation between the parties, on
account of the wilful absence of the hus-
band for more than three years, and his
gross neglect of duty, and also granting to
the petitioner the custody of their child
Sarah Delp. .....
The trial in the case OF James Cummin'
against James Naughton was proceeded
with in the forenoon. The case was argued
to the jury by Judge Warden for the de-
fendant, and John G. Miller, Esq, for the
plaintiff, and submitted to the jury under
the charge of the Court who, after dinner
retired to their room to consider upon theiI
verdict. At four o'clock, they returned in
to Court with verdict in favor of the de-
fendant, or, in other words, finding that the
plaintiff had no cause of action. The Cour
then adjourned till Saturday morning al
nine o'clock.

Gaming OF Mr.. GrInheIl by Gen.
UPAnhusAatn


1t has been fashionable in Congress for
the opponents of the Presidents policy to
impugn the honesty and patriotism of the
President and his supporters. Mr.. GRIN
NELL, of Iowa, on Monday, INDUCED In this
license of speech so far as to be outrageously
insulting to General Rousseau. OnThurs-
day afternoon, when Mr.. GRINNELL was
leaving the Capitol-when he had arrived
near the steps leading to the ground-he
was overtaken by General ROUSSEAU, who
tapped him on the shoulder, and said /:
"Mr. GRINNELL, II have been waiting
four days anxiously for an apology from
you for the gross insult of last Monday on
the floor Of the House;' to which Mr.. GRIN
NELL replied: II have no apology to make;
have nothing to say.' Thereupon, Gen
eral ROUSSEAU broke rattan cane over his
face and shoulders. Mr.. GRINNELL was
hurt some, but not badly. The General
declared to him that it was not his inten-
tion to hurt, but to disgrace him. The af-
fair has stirred up the Radicals consider
ably. They propose to make an investiga-
tion, and talk some of expelling the Gene
raj. They had better cultivate more de-
cency in their speeches. ...
