METHODIST.
The Independent says there is no more NOR
tiiyiug expression OF the bitterness OF proessedly
Christian men than is to be found in the utter
auces of the Southern Methodist papers when
speaking of the Northern Methodists, who are
sending their agents into the Southern
StateI. There are no quar.els like family
quaITels. Bishop Marvin, writing to the Balti-
more Eplscopot Methodist (Soutbern), says:-
''When MolOCh himself was satisfied with blood
and plunder, there was yet an unsauated and
unsuitable nav to be appeased only by the
franchises and property OF the Methodist Eois-
copal Church South. The Northern Methodist
Church, with q conscience scared by the crimes
OF the war, with warm, bloody flesh OF martyrs
still quivering upon its tusks, and an appetite
Tor plunder which four years of ravine could
not glut, but only whetted to super-demoD
eagerness, plead with the conqueror its SER
vices, as a reason why it should be turned loose
upon the domain and the property OF the
Southern Church. This coalition of q military
despotism and an apostate church against
Southern Methodism was well calculated to
throw them strongly upon Themselves"
"A late number of the Boston Traveller says:
More churches in this city were occupied by

. EPISCOPAL.
There have been so many statements and
ened ecclesiastical trial of Rev. j. P. Hubbard,
of Westerly, and so long delay, that we had
supposed the policy of the High Churchmen
was to avoid making any more martyrs. But it
is now stated that the Standing Committee of
Rhode Island have decided unanimously ito
present the Rev. J. P. Hubbard for trial, for
having violated Title I, Canon II, and having
broken his ordination vows.n This, we under
stand was mere preliminary vote, to the effect
that presentment should be made and does
not prescribe the form that the presentm snt
ultimately, will take: 1t is perhaps. too early
to hear that the Rev. Mason Gallagher, of
Brooklyn, has been presented for repeating Mr..
Tyng's ofense in the First Presbyterian Church
OF Detroit, during the me eeting OF the Convention
of the Christian Associations. The bishop, it is
SAID, forbade the ministration but his injunc-
t1on failed to be served on hr. Gallagher -

sermon as rector OF All Saints Church, on the
morning Of the 18th instant. The engagement
OF regular and permanent minister so soon
after the resignation of the Rev. Mr.. Brnghurst
is much 10 be valued. For the congregation
was beginning to scatter, and other attractions
were felt and obeyed. The congregation of All
Saints Church is not fashionable and wealthy
| one but is composed of solid people in mode
| rate circumstances. They are attached to the
usages of our Church as they have been plainly
| and unosteniatiously administered, and they
| will not be satisfied with or desire any novel
ties. The parish is not strong, though generous
and devoted, and capable OF growth, develop
ment and increase. The people long for the
full and powerful preaching OF the truth. They
will labor in the vineyard work, but they must
! have the spiritual nourishment from the Word
TO sustain them in their exertlons.-Episcopa
