"a The General Synod Of one branch of the
Lutheran Church of the Southern States, was in
session in Stanton, Va, last week The Rev.
MIR Aldrich writes to his paper in this place as
follows:
"The officers of the present Convention are:
Rev Rothrock, of North Carolina, President;
Rev L Boinest, Of South Carolina, Secretary;
Mr. Chisolm, of S. c., Treasurer.
On the second day of the convention, Rev.
Smeltzer introduced to the Synod Rev. A. J..
Fox, (of Lincolntou, N. CD as Commissioner
from the Tennessee Synod, who came forward
and presented bis credentials and proceeded to
state the conditions upon which that Synod
would be willing to unite with our general body.
A committee was Immediately appointed, con-
ssting of Revs. Rude, Dosh, and Bittle, to con-
slider these conditions and report.
The committee made report and offered the
following resolutions which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved LIST. That we will cordially receive
them as an integral part of this body, on the
truly Lutheran basis which We have adopted, and
in accordance with which we feel bound as an
ecclesiastical body to withhold our sanction or
amprtmatur from any religious publication of
whatever form, which shall inculcate principles
opposed to the doctrine of the Augsburg Confess
sion, as uniformly construed and defended in the
symbolical writings our Church
Resolved, I'd. That we feel in like manner
bound to appoint or employ no professor in our
theological schools who shall teach doctrines at
variance with our time-honored Confession.

U. S. COURTS IN THE SoUTH.-Chief Justice
Chase has given notice that he will hold circuit
court in North Carolina early in June. The
scruples he entertained year ago about holding
courts where military law prevails have in some
way been removed Although military rule is
now constant and supreme. as it was not then.
and the remnant of civil power exists only by
sufferance. this is not considered an obstacle to
the regular session of the United States Courts
in what are now military districts.

become extremely radical in its utterances in the
last few days. the object being to secure any
radical patronage that Greeley may lose by his
course in the Davis bail case.-Rich. Times.
Not long ago the Herald censured the Govern
ment for keeping Mr. Davis in confnement--now
it is grumbling and growing because he was
leased on bail. 1t is strange why a paper SO
destitute of principle honesty, as the N. Y.
Herald is. should receive the patronage and sup
port of Southern or Northern people. 1t is
seldom that you find liar and villain without
some good trait, but if the N. Y. Herald has any
we have never perceived it.

EFFECT OF A REMOTE Cause.-The news
of Queen Victoria's mediation between France
and Prussia is said to have caused rapid rise
10 the price of white oak slaves 10 West Vir-
ginia. The French aud Spanish wine merchants
are supplied largely with this wood for wine
casks from that region, and the trade is thereby
peculiarly sensitive to the fluctuations in Europe.
Thousands of dollars could be made by North
Carolnians if they would engage in the same
trade.

shows that if the military would refrain from in
terfering in un;mportant cases, more good would
be accomplished. and less evil. Mr. Pollard ad-
vertised to deliver a lecture in Lynchburg on the
"Chivalry of the South.' The military COM
mander ordered that the lecture should not be
delivered; which order caused good deal of
talk and discussion. But, finally, after several
days, the order was Withdrawn, and Mr. Pollard
went to the designated place to deliver his lecture
when. 10 and behold he had nothing to speak to but
empty benches. Of course the lecture was in
definitely postponed.

CITY IMPROvEMENTs.-We presume that but
few of our own citizens have a correct idea of how
many new buildings have been erected in this
City within the past few months. From our
own observation, and after consultation with
others, we estimate the number of new Dwelling
Houses at seventy fve-one-h half of which are
very comfortable houses of four rooms and more;
some contain eight rooms. Besides, there have
been ten or twelve new Store Houses built, the
largest one Ia double two-story brick) being now
in course of construction by Messrs. Miller &
Black. Also, Mr. s. P. Smith has finished up
handsome dwelling over his store room next to
the Bank.
At this rate. may we not reasonably predict
that Charlotte will soon become indeed and in
truth great City.
Judge Kelly of Philadelphia, and two Reporters
for Northern papers, while here ten days ago,
declared that they saw more signs of prosperity
in and around Charlotte than anywhere they had
been since entering Tennessee on their trip

Rock ISLAND MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
We hope that Southern Merchants, especially,
while laying 10 their Fall Stock will not neglect
to give the goods manufactured at Rock Island
Mills 10 Charlotte, trial. The Raleigh Sem
tinel makes the following proper remarks about
this establishment
ave beg to invite the especial attention of mer-
chants in this and the other Southern States under
whose notice it may fall to the advertisement OF
Gen. Jne. A. Young, President of the Rock Island
Manufacturing Co. We regard this establishment
of the most creditable constitutions" OF the
Stale Its fabrics know to be of the most su-
peror quality and texture-entirely free, as the
President says, from shoddy or other impurities
We are proud of the Rock Island Manufacturing Co.,
and cannot too highly commend its goods TO the
of our people and the patronage of our dealers"
A trial of the goods will satisfy any one that
they of superior quality.

The PRoposEp UNION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN

The PROPOSED UNION OF THE PREsBYTERIANs.
The New School Presbyterian General Assem-
Div have unanimously adopted the report of the
Joint committee of the Old School and New
School General Assemblies on union of the two
bodies This report submits the plan proposed
by the joint committee to the two churches at
large, leaving The Assemblies of 1868 at liberty
to take action upon it The New School Assem-
bly, continued its committee during the coming
year, and Apressed earnest desire for the con-
summation of the union. In the meantime,
another branch of the Presbyterian family. the
General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, has passed resolutions favoring a union
of all the Presbyterian bodies, and, for maturing
this plan, has called General Presbyterian con-
vention, which is to meet this fall.
THE Presbyterian Church in the South is not
connected with the above movement

dressed the people of Concord and Salisbury.
We learn that his speech at Concord gave
general satisfaction and as to his speech at
Salisbury the Banner remarks: His manner
and the matter of his speech were not only IN
exceptionable, but, in the most part, commend
able.''
We begin to think that Mr. Kelly has been
badly misrepresented by correspondents and
newspapers South of this State. His speeches
in this State shows the Importance of giving a
man a fair hearing before condemning him.

| MILITARY RULE.-Those persons who declare
that they prefer to live under military rule for
years to come. rather than 60 into the Union on
| certain conditions and under certain leaders,
have thought but little about the dangers of our
present situation and the tendency of military
authority to override civil law.
| No matter how well disposed a military officer
is, his action and decisions are almost necessarily
arbitrary and one sided. From habit and edu-
! cation he has learned to demand and require
strict obedience to his orders, whether they seem
just or unjust. The people of the South have
already had experience enough to teach them
that i: is useless to think of disobeying military
orders, right or wrong; and if there were no
other motives to prompt desire for speedy ad-
mission to the Union, the wish to get clear of the
military and have civil government fully re-
established in midst should prompt all to
heartily cooperate in reconstructing the State
Governments under the late Acts of Congress.
Gen. Schofeld, the commander of Virginia, is
considered one of the best officers in the South,
but the following dispatch shows that he is
gradually but constantly encroaching on civil
authority:
RICHMOND. May 3O.-Gen. Scho6eld. on yes
terday. issued order for the purpose of giving
adequate protection to all persons in their rights
of person and property in cases where tho civil
authority may fail, directing the appointment Of
Military Commissioners in sub districts hereafter
to be defined. giving them the command of the
Police. Sherihs and Constables. and clothing
them with the powers of Magistrates. These
Commissioners to take jurisdiction in all cases
where they may have reason to believe that JUS
tice is not DONE The order concludes as follows:
Trial by the civil courts will be preferred in
all cases, where there is satisfactory reason to
believe that justice will be done. But, until the
orders of the Commanding General are made
known. in any case. the paramount jurisdiction
assumed by the Military Commission shall be ex-
elusive. All persons civil officers and others,
are required to obey and execute the lawful
orders of the Military Commissioners. Any per-
son who shall disobey resist the lawful orders
or authority of Military Commissioner shall be
tried by Military Commission, and. upon convic-
ton' shall be punished by fine and Imprisonment,
according to the nature and degree of the offence
This order will not be so construed as to excuse
civil officers in any degree from the faithful dis
charge of their duties. This is intended to aid
the civil authorities and not to supersede them
except in cases of necessity"

BANKRUPTCY.-We learn from the Salisbury

trict, Thomas b Keoah, Esq.
Col. Cilley was an officer in the Northern ar

since the close of the war. This is some evil
dence of the good treatment Northern men re.
ceive from our people, for we presume North

r. The Raleigh Sentinel recently accused US
of being fault finder, because, we suppose, we
have always insisted on a more economical ex-
pendture of the public money. and because we ad-
vocated the adjustment of useless and unproit-
able offices, such as Adjutant General of Militia
and State Geologist.
The people of the State now taxed more than
they can bear and because We have advocated
measures for lessening taxation, and condemned
appropriations of money for objects not essen
TALLY necessary, the Sentinel accuses of being
fault finder. Very well-the Sentinel may
talk it pleases, but it will find out pretty soon
that the great mass of the people of the State
agree with US and demand measures for reducing
taxes. The Sentinel is understood to be a
fomenter of political strife, which is far worse
than being Pathfinder.

Crops IN SOUTH CARoL1NA.-Our ex-
changes generally give favorable reports of the
crops in their respective Districts. Wheat and
Oats are doing finely; in some sections rust has
appeared, but not 10 sufficient quantity to in
ju1e the crop, which will probably be abundant
if the next two weeks are favorable. Corn is
also reported to look we'll, though We are sur
prised to learn that a compare lively small crop
was planted in some localities. There is yet
time to remedy this error, for it certainly is
great error, if the present distress for food
throughout the State is any criterion. Cotton
has been injured somewhat by the late cold and
wet weather, but much has been replanted and
the present indications are that We will have
large crop this year. In this District, so far as
we can see and hear, the above remarks are also
applicable, except that We believe the proportion
of grain planted is larger than usual, though we
fear there is not yet as much corn in the ground
as there should be YorkOiite Enquirer.
Except few localities, the prospect for wheat in
North Carolina is very fine.
