From Petersburg.
For the Fayetteville Observer.
PETERSBURG, July 81, 1872.

PETERSBURG, july 81, 1917.
Mr.. Editor-DEiR SIR-Since
my last communication nothing
new or very strange has transpired
in these parts of old Lincoln, and
everything is moving on very
calm and smoothly. | will as
sure you we are having some of
the warmest weather that it ever
has been my lot to experience in
these parts. | will now proceed
to give you a small history of the
Sunday School celebration or pic
nic. or whatever you please to
call ii. About ten O'Clock the
Sunday School commenced gath
ering at the G.. P. and M. E. Churb,
and soon proceeded from these in
procession to the grove, where the
exercises of the day commenced
by singing a song by the school,
and then prayer by the Rev. JAS.
Ii. Warren, and then another song
by the school, and a large and
respectable crowd was addressed
by Professor c. L. Randolph Of
Oak Hill on the subject of Sab
bath schools. The address WIS
an able effort, and all the friends
of the Sabbath schools desired
After another song by the school
and recess of ten minutes, the
crowd was addressed by Rev. j.
Z. McCutchan, in a very able
speech, in which be showed plainly
the folly of all this fine dress aid
show, and how it was locking the
doors of the church and Sabbath
schools against tie poor and the
needy, and it took all the money
in the country to keep up this ex-
travagance, and there was none
lett 10 send the Gospel to the
heather, or buy Sabbath school
books, nor clothing for the poor
and needy, so they can attend
church and Sabbath school, sc.
Everything considered, his speech
was splendid, such as we need
more of every day, until all of
this tomfoolery and pride are driv.
en- away from among US. Then
we will become the moral and so.
cial beings that God intended us
TO be, &c. After the speaking
everybody was invited to dinner,
which was spread down ON the
grass short distance from the
stand. In quality and quantity
there was enough for all present
and they seemed to enjoy it. Ev.
erything seemed to be entirely sat
islactory to the crowd, and the
day passed very pleasantly by the
young folks. We trust some good
has been accomplished for the
cause of Sunday schools, &c.
Yours, SERENUS.

e@ Hon. Charles Sumner ha

eG Hon. Charles Sumner has
at last satisfactorily defined his po-
sition. His letter to the colored
deputation at Washington is a
worthy supplement to his great
speech. As between Grant and
Greeley, Mr.. Sumner has no hest
fancy IN pronouncing in favor of
the latter, and advising his col.
ored friends to give him their sup.
port. 1t is Mr.. Summers opinion
that Grant deserves Impeachment
for high crimes and misdemeanors,
rather than denomination. This
letter will give fresh impetus to
the canvass and will prove q most
effective document.
