Is Beeeher Guilty2

Editor Press and Banner:
I was surprised to find, in a late issue
allusion made to short, casual conver.
sation had with you, in the street. ]
did say that it appears to tne the report
of the committee of Plymouth Church
is special pleading, and that Moulton's
statement is very damaging to Mr..
Beecher; but / was far from desiring to
obtrude crude opinion on the public. 1t
is important to know the characters OF
the parties, of their surroundings, and
of the influences brought to bear. We
are too far away for all that. The better
course will be to defer the forming
definite opinions, till after the Courts
shall have decided. .. .I-...i 4F..a

embodiment of egotism and self-suffi-
cheney. He writes slowly. and builds
up his poems word by word, writing

fifty times. He Is q man of wealth,
and is said to have made 100000 by his
pen. He has delightful home on the

FINE Roe MULLEr.-Friend
Browning of the Pascagoula STAR
laid npon u table a fine specimen OF
picked mullet, caught and picked at
Biloxi, Miss, where this Ash abounds
in large schools. The favor of this
mullet wien cooked, is superior to
the famous mackerel making a much
mere delicate dish. We understand
that the fisherman Of Biloxi, propose
to catch and pickle them for the New
Orleans and other markets ; the fact
that they are a superior fish 10 the
mackerel when picked, and can be
supplied at a lower price, ought to
bring them at once TO public favor.
