No Union of the Churches North and South.

BALTIMORE, May ga number of pri-
vate letters which have been received here
from leading members of the Southern
Presbyterian Assembly lately in session at
Little Rock, indicates that the Southern
Assembly was almost unanimously averse
TO union with the Northern Church.
They received the overtures of the North
ern Assembly with GOODNESS, and, while
they considered the subject of union with
some other body, their general impression
was toward consolidation with the Dutch
Reform Church. Some of the leading men
were inclined to accept the overtures of the
Northern Assembly, but they were SO
overruled that they were obliged to aban-
don their own ideas in favor of reunion.
They have written to the Assembly here
regretting that the project has failed for
the present and hoping that it may be re-
newed with more success in the future.
There is. much regret in the Assembly here
that this offer for reunion has failed, but
there is also sentiment that they have
done all they properly can and that the
next proffer must come from the South,
