VRorNIANs.-Rev. Mr.. Slaughter says in
the "Southern Churchman :"
GAS the twelve tribes of Israel we're scatter
ed abroad in almost all lands, so are the church
men Of Virginia. Outside of New England,
its ministers or members are to be found in
nearly every State, from the Lakes to the
Gulf, from Virginia to California. The first
Bishop Of Tennessee was a Virgiuiap the
Bishop Of Arkansas is Firgiuian the late
and living Bishops of Alabama were Vir-
ginians; Virginia Bishop presides over the
Church in North Carolina, and the newly
cOnsecrated Bishop Of Louisiana is a Vir-
ginian. The old church of Yirginia has its
representatives in Canada on our Northern
and Mexico on our Southern frontier, as also
in the adjacent isles of the ocean. She has
sons and daughters in Old England, and also
on the continent of Europe. The Bishop of
Cape Palmas, in Africa, is Virginian as is
the Missionary Bishop of China and Japan.

MUEDERERs HUNG.-At Summcrville,
Mississippi, recently, two brothers, named
Fitzgerald, murdered young merchant in
his store, and then robbed him of fifteen
hundred dollars. They were pursued by the
citizens, captured, and hung without cere-
mony. The younger brother confessed to
having murdered several other men for their
money. It. is believed that the Fitzgeralds
belonged to regular organized band of mur-
desers and robbers in that part of Mississippi

Gen, sEDGwIcE.-Tho following is from
the Galveston Bulletin of April 18th:
Brevet Brigadier General Sedgwfck passed
throug h this city few days ago. going North
to receive his final discharge from the Federal
army 1t rs said that on his passage he stated
that he had other orders, not yet made public,
IN reference to his invasion of Mexico, and
that they would go far to show that he had
official warrant for all he did. He has also a
copy ofa letter addressed to tho General G ov-
ernmeHt By President Juarez, thanking him
for the invasion. These documents Of Gen.
SedgWIcksy 1t is said, will be published as
soon as he is perfectly and entirely relieved
from army obligations. Itis contended that
the language Of his orders WAS explicit, direct,
aud repeated, ''do not permit " certain things
to be done. He could not obey this order
without the invasion, which it was afterwards
found convenient to ignore.

manufacture Of olive oil and Indifferent gar
