A FORMAL APOLOGY.
I met Tinsley this morning, and he made
formal apology to me for having given the
"vc,cran editor of the Dispatch" credit fol
that little talk had with Senator Robertson
OF South Carolina. at the Warm. It's all righ
now, but he says he knows ] am going Il

CHURCH NOTE.
1t raned nearly all day yesterday steadily
and heavily. The regular pastors offciatet
at all the churches except Trinity. AT thI
church Rev. Spotswood Berkeley read th'
service, and Rev. Hugh Roy Scott, Of Balti
more, preached. Mr. Hullihen is out O
town.
But am afraid "bIax" will consider m
usurper, and so must stop.
