A Startling Prediction-A War Between
the Political Parties Of the North y

We copy rs follows from the Nashville
(Tenn. Union and american, of the 4th !:
Something near two years ago, says
the Columbia Herald, the late Rev. DR..
Baldwin preached at Mount Nebo Church,
in this county, and many of our readers
will recollcct the emphasis and confidence
with which he predicted that there would
break out in the year 1868 a war in the
North between the political parties of
that section that it would be very fierce
and comparatively short; that the consti-
tutional party would triumph, and the
original Constitution would be re-estab-
lished and permanent peace restored to
the country. In this war the South was
to take no part. And it will not be for
gotten with what solemn earnestness the
preacher continued: Brethren, there
are many of you here who will be living
to see these things come to pass. L shall
not see the things that II have foretold.
" hen you see these things come to pass,
you may recalllto mind what have this
day said The speaker is dead, and it
does seem as il the war is as hand"
During the winter Of 1858 or 1860,
Rev. DR.. Baldwin delivered lecture in
this city, in which he predicted that the
great battle of Armagedden would begin
some time during the year 1861 that its
theatre would be the whole South, par
ticularly the valley of the Mississippi
that twould last from three to four years,
and Gil the land with desolation Ger

BY DR.. Baldwin came to pass pretty much
in the manner be expected, but his pre-.
diction that Europe would be involved

So far not more than six witnesses have

The Scnate's proceedings of Saturday were
mainly devoted to the exalninatioa oiwitness-
es with regard to the correctness OF the re-

the Senate and the messages of the President

Presidcnt gives his reasons for the removal
from Office, ot several officers. AIr. Butler in
formed the Senate that the case on part OF the
managers was substantially closed, although
they might call in few more witnesses whose
testimony would merely be cumulative. Mr..

the woman'B rights advocates should make
a note of the fact, the ladies nearly all
took sides with their husbands Thus Sena-

acquittal as the others were for conviction.
