burg, says:
BISnoP LYNcB.--This dignitary of
the Roman Catholic Church, Bishop Of
the di,ce<e Of South Carolina, made a
flying visit to our towr last week, arrl'
wing Tuesday afternoon, and leaving
Wednesday morning. His discourse in
the Court House, at night, to hastily
collected audience, was general review
of the Christian Church. He spoke of
the Commission Of Christ to the Apostles
the day of Pentccost-early persecu.
tions under Roman Emperors-heroic
6rmness aud G,r,itude of the Christian
ma,trrs-the divine preservation Of the
Church from corrup,ing change-its i'm
mutable stability and continuous growth
in numbers and strength, all along
through the centuries, until the present
time.
There are not many Roman Catholics
in this place, and this is the first visit
of so high an official of that Church
which has occurred within our recolec-
ton.

HEAVY ON TIE EPIScoPAL1ANs.-A ,e-
liable gentleman from Southwes, Georgia
reports the following: An eminent
Episcopal clergyman made an appoint
ment to preach at Albany not long since.
Everybody was invited to be present ;
and there being no Episcopal Church in
Albany, the largest church was secured
for the occasion. This church had a
very large gallery, which was appro'
priated for the use of the colored people.
The appointed Sabbath came, and the
building was crowded up stairs with
blacks; down stairs with whites. There
being no retiring room, the minister had
to enter the Church clothed in his
clerical robes. While all were i'm
patiently waiting his arrival, there sud
denly appeared ghostly figure clothed
in long white robe, walking up the
aisle. This, of course, was the expected
divine, but Cutie in the gallery had
never seen the like before. All Of sud.
den q shout. of Ku klux! hurst from the
gallery, and Africa broke in indiscfimi-
nate pell nell for the open air. Heels
over bead they fell, rolled and tumbled,
and rolled out of doors. The whites,
viewing the uproar, also became alarmed,
and some one shouted fire. Panic seized
the white audience, and out they rushed,
but the doorways being crowded, they
speedily made doors Of the windows.
Glass and spllnters few in ev.rv direc-
ton. The Church was soon enp,ied,
and presented the appearance Of having
been rildled with grape shot. Quiet
was finally restored; the cause of the
white audience re-
turned, but no earthly inducemeht could
ever indnce the negroes to go back.
There we're no converts to the ''true
church" among the blacks in Albany on
the occa>ion.-Ch'o onicle l. Sentinel.
