vIr. sexyard,s Visit to the West.

This is Mr.. Stewards first visit to the
'.farthest" West. with whose istory he has
been so intimately associated du: ing hi!
long political career. He was the fore
most champion twenty years ago, in the
great struggle which secured California for
freedom. and guaranteed her against slave
ry. and the great speech which he deliver
cd in the Senate on "California and Free
dom" will never be forgotten by anybody
who heard 1t, or who has read it. His
labors at that time not only secured Cali
fornia for frerdom, but the whole OF the vast
territory west of the Rocky Mountains He
had previously visited Kansas, whose bat
ties he also fought and won during the
crisis of her existence. What wonderful
retrospect will be that of the veteran states
man as he passes through regions which
have now grown to great States, but whose
fortunes be shaped in their infancy. When
be stands on the ice bound shores of Alaska,
he will probably only have one regret-that
his political career was cut short before he
had time to add the British Columbia to
the territories of the Union, and extend our
dominion from the Arctic Ocean to the
Bay of Panama.

A Great Discovery in Bristol C
G. Campbell, Esq has discovered in
the very edge Of our town, on the vir.
GINA side, bold spring of White Sui
phur water. Really there has been nc
discovery yet made of so much value to
Bristol. Why it was never discovered
prior to this is explained by the state
ment that heretofore it was 10 the bed
of Beaver Greek. In building a dixie
to prevent inundation from the new
mill dam, the bed Of the stream was in-
vaded just at the lucky point where
there has been so long unknown this
fountain, at which the tabled Gods
might have DRUM. In its present state
it is oveifowod by leakage from the
dixie, so that the water from the crees
stands about twelve inches deep around
The various points Of its exit Yet the
visitor is made aware of his approach to
it at the distance of several stops, So
strong is the odor Of Sulphur. A bold
white sediment is constantly deposited,
and several of our citizens are said TO
have received marked benefit from the
Use of the water 10 its present diluted
state, Gu one sled of the stream is a
bold but variegated bluff, which is Gov

for poetic beauty is not surpassed by any

other is a beautiful allugiaI plain, coS-

belonging to the Southern church but
whose father belonged to tho Northern
branch, then in session, who not know
ing what had occurred walked to the
altar and received the Sacrament in the
belief that bis father had preceded him,
bot 10 this was mistaken. His father
met him attcrward and rebuked him
His reply was "Father, we have been
separated long time, was here and wish

There is a deep feeling upon the sub
ject. The whites are incensed and the
colored men feel outraged. Poor Drake
is blamed for it when it was not his
fault. Ii all resulted from admitting
the colored men to the Conference.

ATouchiny Scene.-During the sit
ting Of the Holston Conference at Jones'
boro, the Rev. +. NJ. Tanning, once
member of the Southern Church was
preaching. At the close Of bis sermon
he remarked there were present many
Of his associates with whom he had serv
ed in the ministry. He was glad to
see them. They we're christians, aud
though they were South and he was
North, he loved them and hoIed to
meet them on the bright shores of Heav+
d, where no diyisiols could mar the
unity of the church. His langua, .
stirred the deep feeling Cf may soul
present aud the Rev. David Sullins, of
the Southern Church, walked forward,
took him by the hand and was invited
into the pulpit. He said that thirty
years ago there was a child three miles
south OF Athens, whose father aud moth,
or prayed for his conversion and at last
the child asked that Brother Fanning
should come and pray for him. He
came the child was converted and
grew to be a man, entered the ministry
ard had served eighteen years, and to-
lay stands before you minister Of the
Methodist Church South, lie had SER,
ed in the same Conference with many
# those present and he could truly say
that he loved them and expected TO
meet them where no dissensions could
creep in TO mar the harmony Of the
church. Old men aud old women were
seen to weep, aud younger ones brush
away the tear as it stole softly down
tho cheek. There was silence for a
time, as if they were trayersing city
of the dead, or walking upon holy
ground, when Tanning rushed into the
arms Of Suilins and embraced him as
brother. 1t was the signal for a gen>
eral embracing and shaking of hands
amo5g those who had been enstrauged
for years. 1t was long before they left
for their homes, and when they did it
was whh a feeling Of christian pride
that they had triumphed over hostile
feelings aud were again friends in the
service of God.
