WE regret to see, the zeal Of the
Sentinel oa-tlse- Border, in behalf of
the Evansville, Henderson & NASH
vile Railroad, so soon growing cold,
now that the elections are past. In
yesterdays issue, that paper is quite
Respondent, and chills our enthusiasm
with representations like the fol-
lowing: Fsoa arc ~
We would, however. advise the people
not to be over-sanguine as to the early
completion of the road, for really the en-
terprise is befogged by complications and
conflicting Interests a ,.e .rts m.
Come, cheer up, neighbor! There
is no such word as fail in our vocabu-
larry. The people of this enterprising
and growing city, when things get in
the right shape, can take hold of the
enterprise and put it through. What
is more, they have the intelligence to
put things in the right shape, if those
having the matter in charge delay too
long in It's proper arrangement. We
have become convinced that the E.,
II. & N. Railroad is necessity, and
as such must be constructed before
many seasons come and go.

OF no class Of persons can it be so
truthfully said that they draw on
their imaginations for their raets .
as the Washington correspondents.
Their special dispatches from that
city have degenerated into special
lies. Their stories are a disgrace to
the profession, and it is high time
that newspapers making any preten-
sions as mediums for conveying relia-
bic news to the people, should reform
the abuse or abolish the whole system
of " special telegraphic correspond
ence." As the thing is now managed,
newspaper men with ordinary inge-
nuity can as well write dispatches
from Washington in their own Offices

Peace Conference in Africa.

the terms Of peace aoers discussed.
Mr.. Chas. Livingstone, British Consul in
the Blight of Biafra, has published an ac-
count of recent interview, with the King of
the Okrika country, with view to'stopping
war between that country and New Gala
bar. Many chiefs were present. The Kings
audience chamber had no light except
through the doorway. The narrative says !:
Masses of human skulls hang from the
walls, and numerous rows of skulls cover the
roof of sort of altar. In front of this al
tar sat the jujuman, having foot stool of
human skulls. The Okrika had eaten the
victims whose skulls decorate the juju house.
The old man who accompanied us spoke
with evident gusto of the different cannibal
feasts he had partaken Of, and mentioned
the parts of the human body which he con-
sidcred the sweetest.
Mr.. Livingstone discussed with them terms
of peace, and it was finally arranged that
Fabia should send down two of his chiefs to
meet the chiefs of Bonny and Calabar and
settle the differences. The consul adds: :
"The session lasted four hours and half.

RADICAL MEETING In yICKsBURG.

A meeting of the loyal citizens of
Vicksburg was held at the A. NJ. E
Church on the evening of the sth inst.
Dr. George St. G. Hussey, of Natchez,
Miss, was introduced, and was greeted
with hearty welcome. The Repudh-
can says:
He reviewed the military bill, the
civil rights, and the emancipation proc
lamation, and what they had each ac-
complished for the colored people. He
told them their duty-to registsr, vote
for convention to amend the constitu-
ton of the State of Mississippi, to cast
their votes for men whom they know
will so amend it as to be acceptable to
Congress. He asked them to remem-
Der who were their friends when eman-
cipated, who fed and clothed them, who
had and are still donating funds to ed
ucate them and their children, in doing
all of which hundreds of thousands of
dollars have and are still being spent
for these purposes. He advised them
to act in union and harmony together,
and not to suffer themselves to be turn
ed aside by sympathies or intimidated
by threats. The doctor received
throughout the warmest expressions of
appreciation and endorsement, and took
his seat amid storm of applause.
Major CASTILLO, from Natchez also,
was then introduced, and delivered a
speech of great power, in which he ad-
vised harmony and unanimity, and
concluded by advising them to stand
by their friends, and support none but
unconditional Union men.
Mr.. A. Mygatt, an old citizen of
Vicksburg, who is well and favorably
known throughout that State as an I'M
compromising friend of freedom, adj
dressed the meeting at length. He said
that he was proud to hear the gladstone
shouts of so many enfranchised men,
and he hoped that they would demon
strate by their conduct the wisdom of
Congress in comforting upon them the
blessed privileges which now enjoyed.
Other speakers addressed the meeting,
and were listened to with marked at
tention. 1t is seldom that we have
witnessed a public meeting conducted
with so much unanimity and decorum.
Every heart seemed to beat in unison to
the time and music of the Union.

THE STRIPED BUG.-Every gardener
mows that this is most destructive in
sect among melon, cucumber and other
young vines, sometimes damaging the
crop seriously. Many remedies have
been suggested, some ofthem, no doubt,
good in their way, but Troublesome
Now we have tried for several years an
other, which has proved with us COM
plete success. Instead of aiming to
drive away the insect by SCOT, ashes,
&C., we pet it, or rather furnish it with
food better than the young melon and
cucumber plant. We sow around each
hill at the time of each planting few
radish seed, and coming up about the
same time the tops supply pasture for
the bug which it much prefers to the
vines. Lettuce will also answer, but
radish is rather liked the best. While

To Rev. L. L. HENDREN,
P. E. Of Raleigh Dist, ~ q. CONFERENCE !:
MY DEAR SIR AND BROTHER - am
strongly attached to the Methodist Church.
In its communion my parents lived and died;
I was early baptized by the now salntea
Thomas Crowder. At an early age sought
the priceless pearl of its affairs, and then
found peace and joy in believing l am
trying to live Christian and want to Ole
Methodist. q 49,,
For you as gentleman, have the high
est regard-for you as Christian, a sincere
affection-in you as a minister OF the holy
gosrel the utmost confidence. For these
reasons address you. ,
The rules and regulations of our Church,
as framed by Mr.. Wesley and his worthy
successors, are very stringent, and have no
doubt gone far towards promoting the glory
of our Heavenly Father, and in planting
Methodism SO widely and firmly on our con-
tinent. Those stringent rules and ancient
landmarks cannot safely be set aside, and 1t
is to be hoped that the custodlans OF our
church government and discipline, OF the
present age, will not ignore the noble pur-
poses of our fathers.
The Methodist church has been distin-
guished for the devotion of its ministry, the
piety of its members and the strictness Of its
discipline. But in what contrast to all this,
let me most respectfully to yourself, ask, is
the course of one of its prominent ministers
in your district. For years member OF our
Conference, holding an elevated position
therein, until he had gained an influence by
that position that might have been exerted
for untold good, then suddenly deserving the
position he so unfortunately had attained, to
sink into the worldly avocation, to say the
least, of political editor Is the course of
the Rev. w. E. Pell, at present, such as is
calculated to promote Gods glory and bring
sinners to Christi Is it compatible with the
spirit of Methodisml He was regarded as
pious man; is not his course such as is
likely to lower the standard of piety, his
bitter partizanship likely toinjure the church,
and his manifestly improper temper and dis
position calculated to make the impenitent
infdelsl
Our Church recognizes local ministry
and the propriety of its ministers engaging
in other pursuits than the exclusive work OF
preaching the gospel But does it comport
with the spirit of the Dicipline or the Bible,
that veteran minister should engage in
party politics at time like this? Is the
spirit manifested by the Rev. W. E. Pell to-
wards his political opponents becoming 2
Should no. some church action be had upon
his case9 With the highest respect for your
self and the Quarterly Conference of Raleigh
Station, 1 would suggest that his case be
we'll examined, and that no interest be al
lowed to conflict with prompt action, when
the cause of Christ is suffering, and immor
tai souls are perishing through his incon-
sistency and untaithfulness.
Affectionately yours, E.

MEssRs. EDITORS Il can scarcely express
the pleasure had in reading the address of
the Hon. John Pool. to the people of North
Carolina, to see that we have some great and
good men left to defend the truth and the
long abused friends of the Union, Peace and
Liberty. 1t may truly be said of the I'M
wavering loyal, that they have come up
through great tribulations." If we could
have had enough of such men as the Hon.
Jno. Pool in our country, just think of the
thousands that would have been saved and
now mingling with society, as hopes for the
future, as well as JOY to the present, instead
of being sacrificed on the wicked altar of
madness and folly-torced on by the blind
secesh and pretended Union leaders that were
in power; and now we are under military
rule on account of the imprudent rule of
such pretended Unionist as are in power.

SPEECH OF EX-GOv. BROWN AT AUGUSTA.
Ex-Gov. Jos. E. Brown addressed a large
meeting at Augusta, April 81, and in the
course Of his speech presented the following
dilemma to those who opposed reconstruc-
ton:
GENTLEMEN: None of US can claim con-
sstency in this matter, unless it be the man
who was from the start per Sc Union man,
and one who stood to it. fear none of us
were very consistent. Gentlemen, we failed
upon the issue that we made, and when we
did we were left in the condition where we
must expect to return to the Government of
the United States in good faith, or leave the
country. At the end of the war, no man
who was not under arrest was obliged to re-
main in Georgia if he did not want to. II
you were so much welded to the doctrine of
State sovereignty (and confess was we'd
ded to IT'D and SO bitterly opposed to the
Government of the United States that you
could not afford to live under it, you had an
easy way to get rid Of it. All the avenues
were thrown open at the end of the war, and
you could enlist under any flag you pleased,
and live under any monarchy. Why did
you remain here, then ? Some did go, and
those who have gone have most of them re-
turned to their native land. After the war
man had no right to remain here disloyal,
and yet claim the protection of the Govern
ment. 1t is not honorable. If we remain
here and become citizens, it is our duty to
try and build up this Government again,
because We have readopted it. We lost our
rights by the war. and an appeal to the
sword. anG as we did not leave the country,
we are bound to accept such terms as are
offered us. Suppose we now adopt the rule
we then stood upon, and if we are out ofthe
Union, we have no rights, and they have the
right to readmit US upon their own terms.
Now take that horn of the dilemma, how do
we stand? Having faile.l by the sword, We
became conquered people, and the Govern
ment had a right, according to the laws of
nations, to dispose of US as conquered peo-
pie, by imposing such terms upon us as the
conqueror chooses to put upon the conquer
ed. They might keep us under Military
Government for years to come. There is
where we stood out of the Union an indie
pendent State, said Georgia Then they
conquered Georgia. What right has she,
then, to claim right, or claim to appear
before the Supreme Court, or any other
privilege of the Union2 None. We will
now take the other horn of the dilemma
Suppose the Northern view of it was right.
Our act of secession was void. If we were
still in the Union, we were in rebellion. and
each of us who took up arms was guilty of
treason, and liable to be banged. This is so
if we are still in the Union. There is no
escape from it. Not only 50, but being
guilty of treason, our property would be
subject to con6scatiun-ou personal proper
ty, at least Then, if this is true, what right
have we to dictate the terms upon which we
are to return to the United States? We
either did go out, and the Government had
the right to deal with us as conquered peo-
pie or else we did not secede, and we were
Rebels and liable to be dealt with rs Rebels.
