The Rishop's Address,

In continuance and completion of the
proceedings of the Episcopal Convention
recently held in Tarboro', we publish the
address of Bishop ATKINSON read upon that
occasion, emitting merely the detailed
statements of his regular visitations as be-
ing of little interest to the general reader.
It hos been our purpose, in our desire to
promote all interests in North Carolina. to
report the proceedings of religious, as well
as political, commercial and agricultural
meetings, which we have thus far made
good. Our reports of the proceedings of
the different meetings here have been most
highly appreciated, and in some instances
adopted by the religious organs. We also
gave a full report of the Baptist Conven-
ton held at Goldsboro', and quite full re-
port of the recent Episcopal Convention at
Tarboro', an accident preventing the non
attendance of special reporter. The en-
tire absence of official organs with some
denominations, and the necessarily imi-
ted circulation of all, makes this course not
only proper, but necessary, with the secu-
lar press.
