AIFX ANnRTA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER.
The Synod OF Virginia.

This body OF christian ministers met, pursu-
ant to appointment in the Presbyterian church
of Charlestown, Jefferson county, on Wednesday
evening last, at O'Clock, and adjourned, after
a most interesting session, on saturday night.
The average attendance was upwards OF hun
dred divines and elders. Among the former
we're many distinguished, not only within the
synodical limits but throughout the country,
for their eminent piety and commanding clio
quence.
The exercises of the Synod we're opened with
a sermon by Rev. T. E. Peck, D. ID. OF the
Union Theological Seminary: on the subject OF
the duties of the ministry.
Questions of grave import to the interest," 20 on
the Church were discussed with striking agill-
ty, and in a tone of becoming christian mouer-
alton. The subject which evoked the most
earnest consideration of the Synod, was that OF I
the ordination of coored men for the work OF
the ministry. 1t had already attracted the at
tention OF the General Assembly and such ac-
ton had been taken as was objectionable to
many of the churches in Virginia The debate
in the SYNOD occurred upon proposition to
overture the General Assembly to reconsider
| it's determination, and to admit to the Offices
of the ministry, colored men suitably prepares
and who bad shown by the unmlstakab:c lndl-
| cations of Providence their designation tor the
sacred calling Of teaching elders i'll the church.
After fruitIess effort to dispose of the mat
ter by indefinite postponement, a debate upon
its merits took place, which lasted for several
hours on Saturday. The opinion seemed to
be general that the question was not "a prac-
tica one now, nor was it one that would IN the
future require any action on the part OF the
church. But whilst this was the case, 1t was
thought that the conclusion reached by the Zen,
| eral Assembly was an erroneous one, and needed
correction 1t was maintsined that as the
Presbyteries alone controlled the work OF the
| ordination of ministers, an attempt on the part
| of The General Assembly to assume jurisdiction
of the matter was irregular and improper.
Resolutions expressive of this view and over
turing the General Assembly, which is about tc
meet in Nashville, to refer the whole subject
( TO the Presbyteres, were finally passed.
Thronghoutthe day on Sabbath, the churches
of the different denominations in the town were
thrown open for divine worship and were al
filled with delighted and prof ted auditors Tho
sermons delivered were Of high order OF merit
and made impressions which will doubtless re
main for good through the lifetime OF many
who were there to hear them. Charlesto'0f

UNION MEN-The American Union, Radical
paper published in HaIrisonburg, Rockingham
county. he editor Of which, DR.. George K.
GiImer was candidate for the Constitutional
Convention expresses surprise and regret that
the Thinkers Of that great county did not vote
in the recent election, 1t expresses surprise
because, from some unaccountable cause, it
had fallen into the strange and erroneous
opinion that those who had been opposed 10
secession and the attempted disruption OF the
Union would approve the unconstitutional
Radical scheme OF Reconstruction, the sole object
of which is to perpetuate the power OF the
Radical party through the fundamentally of
universal negro suffrage and regret because
that respectable class in that county would be
cast for him.
Among the ablest and most determined OPP
pooents of the Radical scheme of reconstruc~
ton in the South, are those who were most de-
yoted to the Union and most opposed to the
policy of secession. Those who are in favor Of
the Union as it was before the war, and as it
came from the hands of the great and patriotic
men who founded it in wisdom, are necessarily
opposed to the Radica scheme ofreconstruction
which would radically change the character of
the Union, and the Government, from what
they were and were designed to be. Those
who were in favor Of the Union and were the
friends of the Constitution, if they have pre-
served their consistency to this time, are neces-
sariy opposed to the Radical plan of reconstruct
ton, because that scheme changes the char
actsr of the Union and violates the Constitution.
Its authors and chief supporters acknowledge
openly that the Constitution furnishes no
authority for the legislation of Congress which
adopted that hagitious scheme of outrage,
No Union man, in tie true sense of that term,
and no man faithful and true to the Constltu-
ton ought to be in favor of that scheme
