4 Good Deed.

The Chicago Americsn Churcbman says: We
find the following acknowledgment in the Gospel
Messenger, and wish we could find many more Of
similar character. A single act Of this kind has
a stronger tendency to heal the wounds of our
stricken nation, and to remove the bitterness re-
ss,itins from our sectional war, than all the tiI-
kering OF our corrupt and viliainons politi.
clans. Wei are thankful that God governs the
world, and not the devil or polit cians,
I AcKNowLEDGMENT the war the church
at Van Buren, was robbed Of valuable Com
munion Service. 1t was the gift Of friends in
New Orleans, and believe the only silver service
in the State. 1t was supposed 10 be in Kansas,
and have been engaged in correspondence, pros.
ecuting inquiries in that quarter.
Unexpectedly, however, have received a let.
ter Fl ON the Rev Mr.. Franklin, Of Mount Nor.
rs, Western New York, informing me that he had
found the plate in question in the hands of dis.
charged soldier. With the assistance OF some
kind friends he bought il, paying for it Its esti.
mated value as cold ,silver,h $l0S. To-day
have received the express receipt for it, and thus
the Communion vessels are returned 10 the parisl
free of all charges.
| In the name Of the parishioners, and IN my
| own behalf, tender 10 Mr.. Franklin and hi:
co-adjustors sincerest thanks. They have done
an act OF kindness very grateful 10 the hearts oi
\ Southern Churchmen.
And thus may it ever be. May the Church
| still bind up the wounds which man in his vio
| lence has made, and out of her own bounty re.
store that which man in his selfshness has taken
away. HENRY c. LAY, Miss, Bp. of Ark.

E. A. Holcomb, Of Charlton county, consents
TO the Of his name by the Radicals Of the Sixth
District, as a candidate for Congress. Mr.. H.
Is man OF some ability. We will do him the
justice to say believe he is qualified to teach a
district schooricr negro children. We say negro
children, because he is manifestly more Interested
IN their welfare than in that Of white children.
But as Congressman-oh, Mistr Holcomb !
Where ia your modestyp By the way, Mr.. Ho-
comb says he "believes treason against the State
nr General Government is crime" Ahi DO
YOU, Mr.. Holcomb? Is that one of your issues, TO
be discussed in the canvass2 You had better
trst try and find some one who denies that 'treasen
sa crime" II you had said all who oppose the
Radical party are traitors and ought 10 be hung
without trial then you would have expressed your
dea better. When you have lived little longer,
Mr.. Holcomb, you will, perhaps, learn that no
man can properly be called tIaitor who has not
been convicted Of treason and when you tay
"that he who sympathises with traitors sympa-
thises with criminals" your saying is entitled to
just SO much respect as that of an ignorsmous
who don't know what he is talking about. There
Is law in this country for the punishment of trai-
tors and if you know Of any, it is your duty to
have them arrested and prosecuted. DON'T blow
about what you bsliere; give US facts.

Such parties contending earnestly for sincerely

mischief in the State. Like the composition Of

But The party is not so much for the expression

the weapons Of war were laid aside forever, never
dreaming that within the very limits OF the State
itself, the common liberties OF free citizens would
be tram1pled upon, that the cry 'to arms" would
resound again through our borders. That faction,
that now rules the State has forced the alternative e
Of war upon us. The Chief Executive Of the State
hSs, without authority Of law, organi zed already,
and armed from sixty to one hundred companies OF
white men and negroes, how many more we do

totally outside OF the pale Of law, as bushwhackers
and guerilas. The use 10 which they are to be
put is proclaimed by Radical confidential friend
of the Governor TO control the polls at the coming
election. What other uses they are to be put to
It is impossible to tell. The Radical revolution

When thoughts from baser passions fee,

Reflected back the dearer light
