DIED,

On the ed instant, In the twenty-eighth year OF
her age Miss LUCY A. FILBATE.
On Sunday the 24th instant JOSHUA T., young
est son of Thomas and Sallie A. Wells, aged TWO
years and two months.
The blinds are closed and darkness relgns
Around the snow-white bed
Wherein our little Joshy lays
For little Joshy's dead.
Step lightly toward the little bed
And kiss his forehead fair,
And gently with thy hand smooth back
The floating fiaxen hair.
Then gently in his coffin lay
The cold and lifelcss clay;
And God will watch itnight and day
And shield it from all harm.

nounces, as if by authority, that the court
of impeachment will probably adjourn to-
day without voting on the remaining arti-
cles. The reason given is an excellent one,
and will please all honest people. 1t is
that the Managers are unwilling to risk
another vote at present" Mr.. STEVENS,
continues HORACE, is pressing some new
articles upon the Managers, which he de-
clares he will present to the House if the
Managers will not accept them. Perhaps
JOHNSON would not be able to employ coun-
sci again. The Managers have UNCLE SAN

MISSIONARY OPERATION:

neFs IhIs IL iaAu.
MISSIONARY OPERATIONS.
The committee to whom was referred 80
much of the Bishops address as related to
missionary work, and also the report of the
Diocesan Missionary Society, presented,
through Rev. DR.. Pendleton, an elaborate
report. To meet the present exigencies
they recommended the adoption Of resolu-
tions.
LIST. Providing for gu extra collection in
Lent for missionary purposes, said collec-
ton to be forwarded to the treasurer Of the
Diocesan Missionary Society.
I'd. Approving of missionary work under
the auspices of convocations.
Sd. Providing for the appointment of
itinerant missionaries by the executive COM
mittee.
4th. Urging that each minister ought to
feel free and bound to intermit his local
duties on from one to four Sundays in the
year, in order to supply vacant and weak
parishes with preaching-expenses to be
paid by the Missionary Society.
The proposed resolutions were discussed
by Rev. Messrs. Pendleton, Peterkin, Hy-
land, Mason, and Isaac Gibson.
In the course of the debate, Bishop Johns
paid an earnest tribute to the faithfulness
and diligence of the Executive Committee
of the Diocesan Missionary Society. They
have done all they could, and have accom-
plished great work, although their re-
sources were limited, and their means
scarcely adequate to retain in their sltua-
tons some of the most useful men in the
diocese. They had also employed one itin-
eront missionary who had been laboring
efficiently in the country between Rich
mond and North Carolina.
Mr.. Mason gave an interesting account
of his itinerancy in the neighborhood OF
Warm Springs. His experience led him to
attach great Importance to the service OF
itinerants, and he felt that great good would
result from the adoption Of the third reso-
luton.
On motion of Rev. Isaac Gibson, the
"month of October was substituted for
the season Of Lent" in the first resolu-
ton, and the resolution as amended
adopted.
The other resolutions were adopted as re-
ported, except some unimportant verbal al
iteration.
On motion, one thousand copies of the
Journal of this session were ordered 10 DC
published for distribution.
STANDING COMMITTEE.

constitute the standing committee for the
ensuing year: II Nor.o,

A WORD IN BEHALF OF THE
CHURCHES.-It seems that the
Gods have made one part of this
country mad in order to destroy
all. What enormous crime has
been committed by us, we leave
the clergy to decide, but the won
derful prosperity which made us
forget God, perhaps, in our pride
bids fair to be succeeded by scenes
OF anarchy and distress equal in
their darkness to the light which
once shone on this picture.
We should all pause and re-
fleet upon our religious duties.
We speak these words honestly
and without affectatiou. We max
no professions, but as a guardian,
in some degree of the public NOR
ais. We gravely ask, if it is not
the fact that we all rush with
might and main after the things
of time, while we leave the I'M
speakably great affairs of eterni-
ty to chance? The question is
lmbued with an awful significance.
We see churches falling into de-
cay; we behold vice uplifting its
scarlet front in the land, while
the reverse of this picture shows
us the clergy poor in worldly
goods, and pinched by want.
This is a terrible picture to con
template, and we gravely submit
to all our readers that the church.
es OF the State should be main
tanned, even at a great personal
sacrifice on the part of the laity.
We can hope little for ourselves,
and less for our children without
the benefcent influences of religi
GUS instruction.
Let us all, then, with one &C.
cord, do our duty, each one to
wards the ehuch of his faith, with
the comfortable conviction in our

% We consider ourself "loyal."
We pay our taxes, we desire the
restoration of the Union, we obey
the laws, we defend the Constitu-
ton and uphold the public iber-
ties: but, for all that there are
those who look down upon us
from their superior elevation of
loyalty" and hold us to be rebels.
Now, what constitutes a ''loyaP
man in their estimation? 1t is
difficult to answer, but from our
knowledge of many of these pa
triots, we incline to the opinion
that first Of all you must be ready
to swear to anything which Con
gress may require. Did you have
son, brother, father, in the Con
federate army, nay, for that mat
ter, were you there yourself? II
so, then step up to the book and
take heaven to witness that you
had no sympathy for that son,
brother or. father, and wished the
whole Confederate army blown
into atoms-Next, you must pro.
test that you believe your life
and the life of every other "UniOn
man" is in danger, and that you
expect the diabolical "rebels" to
give the world a st. Bartholomew
day, in which the 'loyal" men
will be "wiped OUT with a bloody
sponge. For self-preservation, you
may then assert your claims to
the Offices-State, Federal and
municipal-in order to protect
yourself from oppression, and
finally to complete your pertec
tons, embrace Warpoth with a fra
ternal hug and avow eternal de
votion to the accomplished Dunn
Do this and you will then be con
sidered a 'loyal" man by the 'loy
alists" of Louisiana. On the Other
hand, if you still retain some
prejudices in favor of a white
mans government under the Con
stitution, if you believe perjury
to be crime, lying to be disre
putable, theft to be a violation o
the moral law, and raseality q fiji
passport to Jail, then you mus
expect these intensely '1oyal' feI
lows to compliment you by tn,
epithet "rebel," which they all for
get was once borne by the great
est and purest men this continent
ever produced.
