BISHOP MCGILL Bishop McGilI, Of this
city, was in Alexandra Sunday, and admins
tered the ute of confirmation ut st. Mary S
Church -Rjch. Wing.
Bishop McGill was to have been in this city
last Sunday, and was expected here on that
day by large number Of the congregation Of
St. Mary's Church; indeed an announcement
that he would perform the ceremony of confir-
nation in Alexandria on that day, had been
published on the authority Of prominent NOM
bers Of the Church, if not upon that Of the
pastor, but all were disappointed because the
Bishop was detained in New Orleans until
Tuesday the I'd inst. Next Sunday, Palm
Sunday, however, the Bishop is expected here,
and will administer the sacrament Of coniirma
ton TO those who arc prepared to receive it.

The Meridian Gazette has an able editorial
ON the true mission of the press, at the pres
emit iuncture, in the course of which it says
'The press must assume its true position, and
act with the hardihood and nerve the occa-
sion demands. The people must have the
dangers that environ them pointed out, and
the road leading from suffering and oppres-
sion clearly indicated. Words of scOrn, de-

we learn that the Senate of that old

the cooperation of the Legislature in
passing and executing laws to promote
harmony and peace" Such action by
so respectable a body as the Senate of

is, under the circumstances, exceed

The style Of comment emploved Il,

Inc style OF comment employed BY
the editor Of the Mississippian, upon
the course Of The CLARION under its
present. management, cannot have es-
capped public notice. On the 18th,
through gentleman, we notified him
that it was personally offensive, and
that while we did not object to cour-
teous comment, we demanded that he
should desist from that style Of pub
lication in reference to ourself He
disclaimed any intention to offer af-
front and expressed surprise that we
had so conjectured, and there the mat
ter rested (although the>te of his
articles, Notwithstanding his disclaim-'
er, still yerged upon the limits Of the
demand We had mhde) until yesterday
morning, when we found copied into
his paper, from a letter of Gen. Mar
tin, remark of general tenor, so as
to give itpersonal application, as fol
ows

pill for the Clarion: "Iam not wiling

tins letter to Natchez Courier.
The same offence was repeated in
the republication of remark from
another paper, which was torn from
its context and applied to us, not as in
tended by the original writer.
In addressing to the editor of the
Mississippian such note, on yester-
day, as these APPARENTLY premeditated
afronts required at our hands, it was
ascertained that he was absent, and on
application at the office Of that paper
for the name of the party who ordered
the above publications, we were in
formed that they were furnished by
the editor himself Immediately on his
for Memphis the day before
they appeared. AS he is not here to
answer for them, it is proper that we
should make this statement, lest our
silence under repeated and
aggravated aggression be misunder-
stood.
