We were unable to learn the precise amour
obtained by Mr.. L. for the purpose o
erecting Church in Washington, but have
been told by those who had the opportuni
ty Of knowing something Of his operation
that he did very well, and was well pleased
with his success. Mr.. Long left yesterday
morning for Wilmington, and We bespeal
/ for him g kind reception and cordial vel
come, hoping that he may meet with the

| A MISTAKE. local of the Progress, two
weeks ago. stated that, in a case before
Judge Barnes, at the Superior Court, II
| which Q cOlOred person or persons were
concerned. q colored man was denied the
privilege Of testifying. The next day,
| however, the Progress, discovering its mis-.
| take, corrected it. Some Of the papers,
which copied the first notice, failed to copy
| tho correction, and the first rumOr having
reached General Siclzles, we learn that he
has, very properly, ordered an investlga-
ton into the case. The investigation viii
no doubt satisfy ell parties that it vas g
mistake, and that Judge Barnes fully com
piled with the letter and spirit Of the law,
both State and National.
We arc confident that 10 instauce hiss
occurred with our Judiciary, in which they
have, in the slightest degree, departed from
Or construed the Law to tho prejudice Of
the colored people. So FEY from it, where
the law has allowed such 81 construction
they have always given the colOred people
the benefit Of it.-Rn5. Scn5tncI l6tI.
