Gated maturity Of thought, q com
prchcnsivcncss Of viows, felicity
and scripturalness of expression rare
IN so young a minister. We take oc-
rasion in this connection TO say that
tho increasing modern tendency
TO employ 4 sort Of scculalizou
phrascoioSy in tho prlpit shonld be
d;sapprovcd. Every science has its
nomcnclature-cvery profession has
its vocabulary, its tccLnicalilics.
What would DO thought Of lawyer
who, in his addresses at the bar,
would borrow tho phrascoIogy Of an
other profession, and scarcely ever
quote his l"w-boois? What are We
to think Of q minister Of the gospel
who prays and breaches in o secular
dialect, who scours creation for novel
illustrations, who roams abroad over
tho universe in search OF ideas, quo
hing this and that and tho other uu-
thcrity, BUT NOT TIE BIELE? The
preachers on this occasion. we are
happy to say, escape this ccnsure.
The Rev. II. r. Miles treated Of the
history Of tho English Bible. Ho de-
Tended King James translation and
demonstrated against tho sacrilcgious
hands that have laid upon the Holy
Scriptures. 1t is enough to say that
this elaborate and learned address
gave entire satisfaction to the intclli-
gent audience, and contributed very
materially to tho interest of tho oc-

COUNTY CONVENTIONS.
DEMOCRATIC HOFES.

The editor of the Griffin Georgia.
Star rejoices in the prospect of a
war in Europe for three reasons, the
first of which is, that breadstuffs will be in
such demand that the South will be COM
PEELED to raise them. The second reason
given is, that war "will knock greenbacks
into cooked hat, and will be a death
blow to the bonded aristocracy, which
now lords it over the country" The third
reason, and apparently the weightiest OF
all to the mind of the editor of the Star is
given below in his exact words, italics
and all:
"Then, again, there is another and much
greater hope looming up in the distance, and
that is Southern independence For be it
known we (our individual self have never
yet given up this idea! We still insist that
the North and South can not permanently
and pedceably lire together in the same house
hold While this is true. it is equally true
having been demonstrated-tha we can not
unaided, achieve our own independence.
Should Europe, however, engage in universal
war, European possessions in America must
become involved; and through these compli-
cations the United States must inevitably be
drawn into the contest. Then it will be seen
and known that the South will join fortunes
with any European power that will guarantee
us freedom from the thraldom OF the North"
