MEssRs EDITORS ~ have by accident
picked up, at the room of a friend, copy
Of a rebel sheet published in the city of Ra-
leigh, and dated July 18th, 1867. The fol-
lowing paragraph attracts my notice:
The fourth Of July orator at Elizabeth
City (who we will guarantee is candidate
for something) went a bow-shot beyond any
of his contemporary "glorifiers" IN eulogizing
Mr. Lincoln" &c. $50 ri
Ihad supposed that old Bro. Pell had
consented some time ago to repent and be-
come good man. The hearts of some of
your correspondents were touched about the
date of his recent affection, and they with
draw their fire, supposing that just vista
ton of Divine Providence would serve as
warning and lead him to consider and amend
his ways But as it seems to have failed,
they may find it necessary to deal with him
again, and a little more severely.
i Do you suppose he has any such great ven
Grafton for the character of George Washing
ton as to be troubled at his disparagement2
His heart was wandering, when, he wrote,
after the gods of the ConfederacY. Suppose
the name of Jeff Davis had been used where
that of President Lincoln was, would Bro.
Pell and his readers have been displeased?
No one is likely to convince our people Of
the sincerity of his attachment to the T" faith
er of our country while he manifestly hates
the national government, dishonors the ma
tional birthday, and SO far as he dare, fouts
the national flag What right have they
who sought to destroy the country of Wash
ington-who at heart detest the nation
whom his valor, and skftssnd goodness
established-who riddled with bullets on the
battlefield, the flag beneath whose folds
Washington and his brave compatriots
fought-what right have they thus sacrileg-
iously to mention his name2 There is not
foreign nation, but that loves the flag and
country of Washington more than Bro. Pell
and his political school. 1t is truly refresh
ing to hear brazen-f faced traitors pirate of
craftsmanship and patriotism
The name and memory of Washington
will always be revered by the true and loyal
of this country. For his many sterling traits
of character, he stands peerless upon the
pages of history. Washington fought to Sc
cure the liberties of his own countrvmen.
and to maintain the principle that all men
are created free and endowed with the ina
ienable right of liberty. JEFF Davis and his
followers denied the principle and fought to
fasten the chains of slavery on millions.
Abraham Lincoln will be forever honored
and loved>by the good and true friends of
human liberty for his unselfshness in break
ing off the shackles that bound race-not
of his own color and blood, as in the case of
Washington-bu down-trodden and nelp-
less race, and in ushering them into light
and freedom.
1t was no love for Washington, but hatred
for Lincoln and the government, an oppor-
tunity to let off little rebel steam and a
personal pique. that caused Bro Pellto pen

OUR CHURCH IN RICHMOND, Va
We are in receipt of a circular from
Rev. James Mitchell, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in Rich
mond, with a very strong Endorsement
by Governor Peirpoint and Judge
Underwood, setting forth the great
need of a church edifce for our de-
nomination in that city. Respecting
the necessity of the case, the circular
forcibly observes that it becomes abso-
lutely necessary to occupy the great
centres of influence once held by us in
the South; for no seeding branch of
Methodism can do the work of the
parent body or carry an independent
and untrammeled gospel to the families
Of the land. This has become matter
of painful experience.
Governor Peirpoint remarks "There
is great need of the church building
above referred to; it is one of the ne
cessities of the times at this point
The spirit of the southern pulpit is
thoroughly disloyal, active in the
propagandism of rebel sentiment, and
in cherishing a hope that the lost
cause may be gained by the destruc-
ton of Republican government in
this country. regard the establish
ment ofloyal churches throughout the
South as the great means of counter
acting this influence
And Judge Underwood characteristic
scally says: r..
"The fashionable pulpits of this city
have all been false to their trust and to
the claims ofhumanity, and as natural
result the general conscience is almost
paralyzed. Poverty and sin abound. !"
Quite independent of these political
and social considerations, or placing
them in position altogether secondary,
we are fully satisfied that our Church
has mission in the South, and especi-
ally in such a place as Richmond,
which should not be left unfulfilled,
and for the accomplishment of that
work at that place, suitable house of
worship is necessary. Mr.. Mitchell,
therefore, appeals for "material aid"
which, we trust, will not be withheld.

the reconstruction programme of the Con-
gress ofthe United States, which after trying
the effects of gentle means and failed,
have had to resort to more severe method
to reclaim the erring people Of the South.
ResoIoed, That we hold that all men are
created free and equal and should enjoy
equal rights and privileges under republi-
can form of government. ~ ~
ResOlced. That we sincerely exult in the
fact that as nation we are now absolutely
a nation of freemen, and that the sun in all
its course over our wide spread country no
longer shines on the brow of slave; with
out reservation we heartily endorse the great
measure Of civil rights impartial enfranchise-
ment withoutany property qualification con-
ferred without distinction of color, and that
we are ready to unite in the early practical
attainment of these inestimable privileges
Resolped, That as the most potent and eff
ficient means by which the South can speed
lily regain her lost prosperity, we earnestly
advocate spreading of knowledge and ed
ucation among all men, and that to the at
tainment of this great end, we demand and
shall persistently and firmly insist upon the
absolute right of free discussion and free

GENERAL GRANT ON REcoNsTRUo-
r1oy-A special dispatch to the Dos
ton Adoertiser says:
aThere has been good deal OF talk
during the past two orthree days ABOUT
General Grants position on the recon-
struction question. 1t will be remem-
bored that some time last summer one
Colonel Hillyer, formerly on General
Grants staff, wrote a letter to some
BODY in Indiana, saying the General
endorsed the Presidents policy, when
allegation was met by saying That
seitber IIillyer nor any one else mad
authority to speak for him. The De
mocrat;c members of the Judiciary
Committee OF the House, it appears,
THOUGHT point for the President might
Il be made out of the matter, and accord
4 inslv General Grant and Colonel Hill
yer were summoned to give evidence
IN the impeachment inquiry. Hlllyer
testified that a long interview took
place in February oflast year between
the President, General Grant, and hlm,
self. and that his letter as to General
Grants position was founded on what
was then said. :,
ssHillyer had but recently returned
from an extended tour in the South,
and was giving some account OF AFFAIRS
down there. He spoke of the generally
unsettled condition, and General Grant
Endorsed his report by saying he had
8 discovered the same stale of facts IN his
hurried "trip a short time before. The
President made some observation to
the effect that matters would not be-
come right till the States were restored
to the Union, and that this ought to be
done as soon as possible; to which
both his hearers assented. General
Grant was before the committee on
two occasions, and his evidence was
far enough from being pleasing to the
gentlemen by whom he was called.
He said in effect, as is understood, that
he had not thought it his province to
meddie in politics; that he had never
been asked by the President for his adj
vice or opinions on political matters;
that in all he had said about the neces-
sity for early restoration of the Union
he had spoken as military man and as
citizen, and not as politician; that
in his view military rule ought to cease
as soon as possible consistent with jus
tice and safety; that the Southern peo-
pie themselves should be anxious for re-
Storation of the civil authority; that
lie had always understood the Presi-
dents work in the South as of tenn
& porary character, and at most as but an
aid to Congress in setting up the civil
. governments; that he had not sympa-
thized with the President in his conflict
with Congress; that he thought the
fixing of terms of reconstruction was
matter belonging to Congress; that in
his Judgment the South made grave
b mistake in not long ago heartily accept
ling the terms offered that he stood
firmly by the Congressional plan, and
that he was anxious now, as he had
been ever since the end Of the war, for
the early restoration of the rebel States
to the privilege of representation in
Congress- oaqs

MASS MEETING In WARRENTON---LETTER
FROM n. z. GOODLOE, ESQ.

MEssRs. Ep1ToRs "A grand mass meet

thousand persons were present, most OF " HON
were colored.

w. Brodie, colored, and DR.. Mat. Williams.
This was the largest assembly ever met IN
Warrenton. The speeches were all well re-
ceived and appropriate. ButImust say the
address of Mr. Jas. 81. Harris was one OF the
best political speeches ever heard falr and
logical, and delivered in most eloquent and
graceful manner. He took strong grounds
in favor of the restoration OF North Carolina
and the other rebellious States according to
the acts of Congress-advised all to aid the
great Republican party in support OF these
acts-gave the Democrats OF the North some
hard -interspersed his speech with
beautiful illustrations, and was frequently
applauded. Mr. Harris is certainly fine
speaker. think Warren is all right, and will
vote, when allowed so to do, almost uani-
mously for the Republican ticket. I wish I
had time to give you synopsis OF the diff
ferent speeches.
The Hon. DAHL R. Goodloe was invited to
be present and address the meeting, but was
prevented from doing so on account of official
business. herewith enclose copy of his
admirable letter, which hope you will find
room for in the Standard.

ly have done, for there was no blockade to
speak of during the first Year, and holding
it there till it rose to fifty cents, we would
have had $S00,000,000. Well, carly called
Mr.. Davis attention to it, but he told me he
knew nothing of finance, and said go to
Meminger.' Meminger and I talked it all
over one day, and we were to have another
meeting two days afterwards, but in the
meantime he came out in the newspapers
with an article showing the demonstrations
atty of the proposed measure, and I never
went near him on the subject Afterwards
But had we acted as 1 have indicated, we
might readily have bought fleets in Europe,
and might even have hired mercenaries to
fight our battles. l proposed to have fifteen
iron clads constructed in Europe, and to
have three out by the following March. We
might in this way have kept at least one or
two ports open, and if the portal system is
kept open the organism can live. A man
will live if he can breathe through a quill
even; but when, one after another, we lost all
our ports, even to Wilmington, the game was
up"
FATE or A PEACE MISSIONARY.
In connection with the peace question and
the reluctance of the Richmond authorities
to give any countenance to efforts looking
in that direction, Mr.. Stephens told me a
strange story, which believe has never been
published, of the fate of an unfortunate
peace emissary from the North. 1t appears
that in the spring Of 1854, person named
Caball, from one of the Western States. was
taken prisoner at the battle of Olustee or Is
land Pond, in Florida, whittier he had gone
tor the purnose of BEING taken nrisonor o,l
