Gentlemen.-In reply to your card OF

least hesitation, that / am unalterably
opposed to Baltimore being allowed To
encroach another foot on the trade area
of Virginia, or to extend her communi
cations further through the State. !
have ever regretted the policy which
allowed her to extend the Orange and
Alexandra railroad from Lynchburg to
Danyille, thereby divertiag portion Of
the trade of Western North Carolina
from this city. l equally eeplors that
same policy which allowed her to ex-
tend the Valley road from Staunton to
Salem, Va. BE therefore assured tina.
by no vote of mine, if elected Senator
from this district, will she ever be al
lowed to extend this road from Salem
down the Clinch Valley, and make any
further inroads into that Southwestern
country, the trade of which | trust
Richmond will secure by her frequent
connections or roads now in contempia-

Let us assure our friends in Rich
mond that the people of the Valley are
"unalterably opposed" to being longer
held in subsection to Richmond or to
Richmond interests. We have agri-
cultural and mineral interests which
must be developed and we intend to
demand the facilities not as favor but
as matter of right You may delay us,
but rest assured the Valley will have
her railroad in spite of your opposition.

The Pastors Topics To-Day.

Faith is the most important faculty in man,
without which he could not live in peace with
his fellow men any more than with his God
There are different kinds OF faith, but unless
it be to war against sin and evil habits we
know not what lighting faith is good for;
but DR.. Deems will, doubtless, explain all
about it this morning. 1t was the power Of
faith and prayer that caused the King Ahasuerus
to spend one sleepless night, the results Of
which the Jewish people throughout the
world commemorate annually, and concerning
which Mr.. Pendleton will speak this evening
1t was faith that unveiled God, not only to the
ancient patriarchs, but to the dying thief, in
answer to prayer, about whom Mr.. Hawthorne
will speak to-day. 1t was faith that impelled
the patriarch Noah to build the ship that car
ried the worlds inhabitants emblem of the
Gospel-ship that carries the inhabitants Of
the world Of bliss thither, about which Mr..
Boole will speak and it is faith that makes
the life that now is worthy of our regard, and
the life that is to come, concerning which Dr.
Thompson will speak, reality to the pious
soul. Faith puts man on the safe side, as
him his rights and his duties toward God and
toward all men; it helps men to love their
neighbors, because they have confidence in
them, as, no doubt, Mr.. Terry will demon
strate, and it sets up God and His
attributes as the model Of perfection for
humanity to copy. as Mr.. Hitchcock will
show.
A hard winter is probably before us, and
anything that will tend to inspire and encour-
age people should be welcome in view of the
months to come. Mr.. Kennard has few
hopeful words, which he will utter thereon.
He will also show the majesty of the character
that can say mo" to temptation, however
glded and specious it may appear to the eye or
the mind. 'The Prodigars Return" is still
able to do Its share in persuading prodg OF
to-day to return, and will be so used by
Mr.. Merritt DR.. Ganse will strike the
note to the heavenly host who ,uns their
harps anew for every prodigals return and
make the upper regions ring with the melody
of heaven. The example of Dor cas- and her
memorial work has led hundreds and thou
sands OF her sex in the Christian Church to
do likewise, and the seed of the good woman
has multiplied in every land and yet there
is work and to spare for all Of her name and
kind could they be multiplied a thousand
fold more. There will be work for Dor
cas- in this city between this and
the 1st of April, and we dare cay Mr.
Macarthur will stimulate his people to noble
deeds and almsoivinQ in this direction to-dav

cloud, and fears that MI Gadstone's mani
festo may wreck the work of his (Gladstone's)
career and tarnish an illustrious name. 1t is
one of those controversies which can have no
end, and which Mr.. Gladstone would have
been wise, perhaps. to have ignored. The pre-
tensions Of churches and church rulers, rest
ing, as they do, upon belief in the heavenly
origin of religion, and the direct over
ruling Providence of God over the affairs
OF men. are frequently in antagonism to the
DEGREES of Commonwealths We have them
in the United States. Many of our churches
advance doctrines which might directly con-
fict with the citizens duty to the State. But
they rarely, if ever, assume practical shape,
because the tendency of human nature is to
regard religion as o sentiment and to make it
subordinate to the duty of citizenship. No
American statesman cares whether Roman
Catholics in America accept or reject the
dogma of Papal infallibility. They may feel
that if the Pope chooses to regard himself as
infallible he has perfect right to do so, and
to find as many as he can to agree with him.
So with any other person. There is no rea-
son why every clergyman in New York
may not advance the doctrine of per-
sonal infallibility. We are not concerned
about the assumption, because it is, after all,
a sentiment, q faith like belief in the sacra-
ments and effectual calling and the commu-
nion of the saints. If the Pope or any other
religious ruler were to declare in his infallible
wisdom that citizen should not pay taxes,
or that he should take up arms against the
country, his mandate would be disregarded,
if not by the citizen from sense of patriot
ism, then by the violent and summary process
Of law. We practically adjust the relations
between conscience and allegiance. We have
never yet found them conflict If they ever
should conflict the power Of the State would
be asserted as firmly as it is by Bismarck.
There should be no such conflict, and we
believe there is no real ground for it. either
in Germany or England. Mr.. Gladstone's
fear that the Pope is about to drag Europe
into war seems to be baseless, and is proba-
bly, intended for political effect upon the
minds of Englishmen. A religious war would
be the most dreadful Of all calamities. Arch
bishop Manning only asserts what has been
the teaching Of the Roman Church since St
Peter, and what every clergyman in New York
will reterate, SO far as his own creed is con-
cerned, that the law of conscience is para
mount to any other law. Practically, how
ever, the claim has no value and for Mr..
Gladstone to present it now as new assump-
ton Of power on the part of the Roman
Church is to create danger that has no life
and need never exist under free and wise
government.
