To Correspondents.

We have q number Of Communica-
tons on hand, which shall appear as
soon as the crowded state Of our col
umns will permit. Our friend "White
Man, viii have his matter attended
to. has withdrawn the proposi-
tion he made some time ago, agreeing
to furnish us history of the rebellion
in Karthaus. He is carefully compil-
ing the document, and will issue il in
pamphlet form highly embcllishcd
with engravings, of diIapidated "vct-
crans," mules, "loyalty," surrounded
with rose-buds, honey-suckles, and
other necessary embellishments. Pa
triotism, and battlefield will be seen
IN tho distance, while that highly fin
ishcd, and necessary piece ofiurniture
the Negro bureau, will occupy the
fore ground, in front of which, will
stand Black and White Republi-
can, both trying to get into it, with
other embellishments too numerous
ito mention.
We have been written TO by sever.
al friends, in different sections of the
county, asking us why we do not pub
lish the thanksgiving sermon, deliv
cred by the Rev John Chambers, OF
Philadelphia? Our answer rs, be
cause the "blood hounds OF Zion,
have already done harm enough tc
the country, by delivering their pull
pit stump speeches, to gaping congre'
cations, without being assisted in dis.
scmirating their hellish doctrines
through the newspaper press. We
are no agent for the infamous work
Of publishing the knavish cant of a
political priest, sometimes called a
sermon. We care not whether he be
Democrat or an Abolitionist, that
thus betrays his God, Church and
Country. A horse thief has more re-
spect for sacred things than political
priest has. The superintendent of
the regions of the damned, has num-
bcr of agents in this country, chief
among them, is the New York hide
pendant, paper that publishes every
political speech delivered from pull
pit, which it dubs .'scrmon," to suit
the moral market.

BALTIMORE CoNFERENcE.-This re-
ligious body at its late session at Al
exandria, Va, elected Rev. Messrs.
Register, Martin, Norval Wilson,
Veitch, Roszell and Egleston, dele
gates, and Poisal, Rogers, Gardiner
and Welty as alternates, TO the Gen
cral conference of the Church South,
which is to assemble at New Orleans
on the 4th of April next. The roll Of
the conference at its adjournment had
102 names on it, and report ll,1s9
white, and 627 colored members, and
81 local preachers. DIR. Bond and DIR.
Doggett, of Richmond, are authorized
to publish paper in Baltimore, to be
called the episcopal Methodist. -
The missionary meeting took place
on Monday evening. Addresses were
delivered by Rev. DR.. Sehon, Rev,
John Poisal OF Baltimore, DR. Doggett
and other ministers. The amount of
money contributed exceeded $780,
Life members were constituted as fol-

Neither Slavery, Treason, Loyalty,

any of our northern bodies could un-
dergo.

A LoyAL FRrAK.--Gcn. Howard,
tho head of the Negro Bureau, is
stumping the New England States,
trying TO raise funds to build Negro
Church in Washington, by which he
intcndsto improve his loyal pets. We
would suggest that ho had better hire
them out to work, or get something
for them to eat, or the half Of them
will starvc before he gets his church
ready for them. lie and the "divinc'
Stanton may have them devouring
government ratiops, however, by
which they may sustain themselves
until he gets his church ready. We
wonder how much interest these dem
agogues, would take in white man.
We have no doubt that if four or FIVE
thousand, poor white people, would
go to Washington and ask these holy
men for government rations, they
would be put in Prison, or arrested
for treason. How unfortunate to be
both poor and white, while the Nation
is governed by party controlled by
"grand moral ideas"

LOYAL" and Divine" /"

We clip the following from the con-
grcsional debate Of Tuesday the 9th
inst. Mr.. Rousseau is loyal Maj
General from kentucky, of large
ideas. Mr.. Grinncll, is clergyman
from Iowa, who has found that poll
tics pay better than divinity, and has
therefore sold out to Sumner, Satan
Stevens & Co, for small advance on
bis former salaery as clergyman Hear
them:
Mr.. Rousseau, Of Kentucky, rising
TO privileged question, read from
the remarks Of Mr. Grinnell, made
yesterday, as follows: "IIistory re-
peats itself. | care not whether the
gentleman (Mr. Rousseau) was four
years IN the war on the Union side or
four years on the other side, but say
that he degraded his State and utter
ed sentiment | thought unworthy of
an American officer when he said that
he would do such an act on the COM
plant of a negro against him."
Only this much was read, bat the
preceding remark TO which this re-
ferred was as follows:
"The honorable gentleman from
kentucky declared, on Saturday, as l
caught his language, that if he were
arrested on the complaint of negro
and brought before one of the agents
of the bureau when he became free he
would shoot him."
Mr. Rousseau said (: / pronounce
the assertion that l have degraded
myself, as false; a foul slandcr, and
unworthy to be uttered by any gen.
tleman on this floor.
Mr.. Grinnell--I referred to the gen.
tloman's remarks as | understood
them, the gentleman having withheld
his speech from the Globe. had no
desire TO do injustice. / criticised
tho Gentleman's language and | stand
by that criticism. If | did not cor.
rcctly represent what he said, / beg
pardon.
Mr.. Rousscau-My object was not
to get an apology, but TO say what /
have said.
Mr.. Grinnell-The gcntleman's
language is no offense. / stand on my
rights as n member of this House and
and discharge my duties as / under
stand they should be discharged When
| criticised the language OF tho gentle
man from Kentucky, | did so from a
sense of duty, and | thought that Ian
guagc unworthy of an American Off
Ger and of his own State.
Mr.. Rousseau--I understand that
tho gentleman is preacher of the
Gospel, and yet he lacks charity to-
wards all mon. ! am a new member
of the House, and have endoavorcd 20
behave with the utmost courtesy. III
docs come with exceedingly bad grace
from the gentleman, who slept in
safety while others were fighting on
the battlefield to make such remark
me. He could not exercise
the most ordinary charity, but when
a gentleman had gono out of bis seat,
he got up TO insult him, contrary to
the rules of the House.
Mr.. Grinnell-I have only to saw
that the gentleman has paradod his
profession of arms before this House
have not paraded mine. The gen.
tleman says | am a Clergyman. | have
TO answer, was man before / was
minister, | claim to be man and
IN American citizen. am not asham-
ID OF my origian and profession, and |
stand by my constituents, my princi
pies and my country.

War-Past and Present.


The wounds made upon individuals
and society by the late Abolition war
are not healing very fast. The purse
of the charitable, can easily find a
subject, and the glib tongue of the
Boosting "loyalist," has daily oppor-
tunities to practice something sub
stantial, even at his own door; and
thereby assist those he scduccd to help
put in practice, what he failed to do
himself, and are now seeking food
from door to door
We are lead to these remarks by
reading the appeal of the Trustees of
the "Five Points House of Industry"
New York. They have issued an APP
peal in behalf of hundreds of unem-
ployed soldiers, recently discharged
from the army, who have congregated
about that establishment, and who are
destitute and dependent, without work,
and in the language of the appeal,
without shelter at night, save what
the Police station-hosses afford, and
without food other than the cold vict-
uals obtained by begging. For the
most part these men are able-bodied
and willing to work, if employment
could only be found for them, and it
is in the hope that farmers, manufac-
turers, mechanics and business men
generally throughout the country,
who now enjoy in their persons, prop
critics and professions the great boons
of peace and security which these men
aided so nobly in attaining for them,
will not be forgetful Of tho duty they
owe to these war-worn veterans, in
this the hour of their greatest need,
but will endeavor to give them en-
ployment and sustenance. These poor
men are ready and willing to accept
any employment for which they are
fitted, and which promises them a re-
spectacle livelihood, and hence we
hope that no one placed in q position
to aid them, by giving them employ
ment, will turn a deaf ear TO the ap-
peal made on behalf of deserving but
destitute soldiers. BY enclosing the
necessary funds to pay for transpor-
tation, and describing the kind of la
borers wanted, to S. B. HALLIDAY,
ESQ. Superintendent Five Points
House Of Industry, New York, fitly
selected man or men will be sent for
ward without delay. This is cause
that appeals to the charity and patri-
otism Of every man in the land who is
placed in position TO render the asked
for aid, and II should be responded TO
with alacrity and in tho full spirit of
justice and humanity.
The portrait given by the Trustees,
is to be seen in every large town, and
frequently in the rural districts. The
general demoralization of society,
caused by tho war, is felt throughout
the land, and every community is more
or less afflicted, and our charity may
be, expended near home. But this
case above all others, should. attract
the attention of the cheerful giver.
1t is the very hell, made by the war,
and should be abolished. And this
can only be done by the general char
ity Of the country, as the wants are
too gigantic, for any community to
bear.

THE TRUE SOLDIER.

Young Mowbray journeying to the wars,
All belted he and spurred, f.r.
From lady's hand received a rose,
And from her lips this word:
ri loan thee to my country's cause,
For, Glory, nor for doom
To be not slain, but slay her foes,
deck the knighily plume.
Remember caution is no fear-nor rashness valor's
test
If he who fights and dies does well-who fights and
lives, does best.
Now fierce the tide Ct battle laves,
And fast the conflict flows
And high above the fight still waves
The white plume and the rose,
And gaily through the gathering fray
Our Aower-erowned warrior, see,
Strike many gallant blow this day
For love and Liberty
While high above the still din rings, with stroke on
foemen's crest,
Ho! he who fights and dies, does wel-who fights and
lives, does best
All wo is me ! that loves kind hand,
Loves self should, hapless, mar
A marksman view the helmet grand,
And mark'd the blood red star
downward lance Glove helm and crest,
And bathed in crimson tide,
Loves fatal gif. kissed fainting breast,
And murnuring thus he died:
"ob, love for Fame men strike and live for Free
dom heroes fall!
If he who fights and live gives much, who fights an
dies gives ALL"

A FEDERAL SOLDIER TURNED TO SToNE.-W
learn from the Mobile Advertiser and Register o
Sunday, the 10Th inst, that while some laborer
were eXhuming the bodies inferred in the Potter
the collins broke and revealed TO fhe astonisheC
gaze of the grave-diggers the remains of Fede-
raj soldier perfectly petIifed, and looking natu-
raj as life. What was further remarkable, he had
not been buried more than nine months. A new
coffin was procured, and this remarkable image of
natures workmanship recommited 10 its mother
earth in the soldiers burying-ground. Several
prominent gentlemen Of Mobile visited the spot
and examined the petrifed warrior, and they tes-
tfy that he had turned TO solid stone with all the
features and limbs as natural as life. The ground
where he was buried is very low and damp most
Of the year.
