COLONEL INGERsoLL AND RELIGION.

COLONEL ISGERSOLL AND RELIGION.
II is intimated that since the death of his
brother Colonel INGERsoLL has exhibited a
much more tolerant and considerate spirit
toward the religious world that surrounds
him than ever before, and the probability
Of his embracing the faith of the Christian
and becoming one of It's "stalwart" defend
ers is being discussed with some seriousness
in religious circles. Whether this is to be
so or not time and the ways Of Providence,
which ARE mysterious and past finding
out" must determine. This is one of the
things that man has no power to foresee.
We would that we might be authorized to
make the announcement TO the world that
the transGendent abilities, the large and
noble heart, the power of eloquence, and the
elements of life Of usefulness that the
Creator has cast upon upon his character
had been laid upon the altar of His service
for, rs he is "stalwlrt" against the dogmas
of the Christian religion now, he would be
more "stalwart" in their defense after his
heart had been touched with the converting
forces of Divine grace.
History records one instance in which q
stalwart was thus converted to the great
good of the Kingdom, and that was the ease
of SAUL of Tnrsus, who had delighted in an
| tagonizing the doctrines Of the Saviour and
in the persecution Of the saints but when
he was converted from the error of his ways
he took his stand on the Lords side, became
the head and front of the apostolic crusade
against error, was transformed into mair
pillar of the church militant, thus crownini
his career with a life of eminent usefulness
for good. What has been may be again
and Colonel ROBERT G. INGERsoLL is n,
farther from the Christian altar now thar
SAUL of Tarsus was when he prosecuted th,
saints. Then, again, it must be recollectet
that the Power which transformed tn,
heart and life Of SAUL does not sleep. Iti
eternal. Its mission ON earth will neve
end so long rs there is human heart q
enmity with its Creator.

with 1900 cavalry, attacked Colonel Hanson,
with 500 men, at Lebanon. After seven

practicable moment the ruling spirit Of ffa-
ternity, unity, and peace. This can never
he reached by line of policy which disre-
CARDS the spirit and genius of American in
stitutions and the injunclons and require
mcnts of the organic and statutory laws of
the land. Equal aud exact justice must be
guaranteed to all the governed before the
paths of peace will be successfully found
and followed If the South will now be-
take itself to the building up OF its material
interests by inviting, instead of repelling,
Northern capital, or will turn its own capi-
tai into the paths of manufacture, leaving
every citizen free to enjoy his own political
views, and to represent them under his own
untrammelled judgment at the ballot-box,
a new, happier, and more advantageous era
will come to the South, and, for that matter,
to the whole country.
We notice that the Lynchburg V6ginidn
is under an awakening to this important
question. 1t says:
That must be a dead town that contains no
prosperous merchants, tradesmen, and me-
chanics-a town that sends its money away
/
the labor that thrives elsewhere and neglects
its own. 1t Is impossible that 1t can be other
WISE But even under the most favorable cir
cumstanccs, with a large trade in some
branches of business, and the total neglect of
others that should engage capital and employ
labor, the prosperity cannot be as great as if
these industries were varied aud localized.
Let us take Lynchburg for an example, and
suppose that all the wagons, carriages, agri-
cultural implements shoes, hats, and clothes
that are sold annually in this market were
manufactured here. What population we
should have in that case mot less than 50,-
600, Of men, women, aud children; the effect
of which population would be to increase the
aggregate wealth and importance of this city.
OF course this is but single extract from
an article which is compounded somewhat
from sectional prejudice and hate toward
the North upon which the South is now de-
pendent for whatever is necessary to adj
vancement and prosperity, outside of raw
cotton, sugar, and rice; but it shows that
the South is beginning to think on this sub
| ject, and it is TO be hoped that thought will
crystalize in sensible and rational action.
Then the South will pool its political cussed-
ness in common pit of oblivion and turn
its attention to the principles and processes
Of a healthy return to the paths of peace,
prosperity, and happiness.

THE DE LEssEPs Darien Canal project
continues to attract comment in this coun-

reached that Senator BURNSIDE did exactly
the proper thing in presenting his resolu-

New York World joins in this verdict,
which must be gratifying to the Senator,
who, il will be admitted, has not achieved
any more greatness as a statesman than
would be expected from any modern
CICERO. But the cream of all this oppose

that its execution wQnld interfere with the

livered. The locals of the Herald heard of
it, coveted it, rallied in force upon the afore-
said Leddcr local, and beleagured and bull
dozed with persuasons, threats, and force
until they despoiled him of his treasure and
bore it off in triumph. The result is prose-
cution, two or more arrests, and few law
suits under State statute which reads as

in fear, steals and takes from the person of all.

that there is not a spawned, knock

tican in the State but what is conspir-

would have for swimming across Lake
Michigan with fifty-siX pound shot

ocrats ought to see to it that no such
names get on their ticket. Such ticket
would be defeated by 10000 majority.
Any ticket that they are likely to NOM
mate will be beaten, probably, by
from 5000 to 10000 majority, but a
hummer ticket will be buried, as it
ought to be. Let it be remembered
that the heavy editorial writer on the
Telegraph is himself a Democrat and
that as such he wants all Democrats
of doubtful attachments to "stand a
little back.
