Reply of "a Lutheran" to bishop KAin'a
Last Letter.
To he Editor Of I've LItGIGtOaea.
siR:-It was no part Of my purpose in
my communications to answer for other
Protestant churches Bishop Kain's ques.
ton: "Why they have rejected Luther's
doc!1ine?" Iauppose that il any one be-
longing to any other Protestant church
than tho Lutheran were to reply to that
question, he would say something like
this: I'VE have not flung aside the doc
trine Of Luther concerning the Lords
Supper. We never held 1t. We are OF
ZEinele, or Calvin, &C." cannot sec
how the B!ahop can charge those Protest.
ante who Rre not Lutheran with depart
ing from Lu,hel's doctrine when they
never accepted 1t. But the Lutheran
Church has not not rejected It, Query:
TO what branch OF the Protestant Church
does he refer?
But tho Bishop fnds 1t difficult to IN
derstsnd in what respect tho Lutheran
doctrine, az set forth by me, differs from
Conaubstantiatlon. l confess It Ia impos-
eible for me 10 state the difference In
palmer terma. I could quote from sev.
eral eminent divlnes OF other Protestant
churches Language in which they declare
that the doctrine in question Ia not taught
in the doctrinal book OF the Lutheran
Church, but will not take up your val.

He Gays in hiB discourse on the Conform
ity Of Reaeon with Faith: Evangelical
Lutherans do not approve OF the doctrine
Of consubstantiation, and no one could
impute it to them, unless he had failed to
make himself properly acquainted with
their yieWs." The difference seems Il
hayo been ineligible to his mind. Tried
10 state it in my last communication, and
will not repeat the effort.
The Bishop now asks the question
IBID Luther attribute ubiquisy 10 Christie
bodyP" answer he did not, nor has this
ever besn q doctrine Of the Lutheran
church. Luther says works OF Lsipz
xxi, 1851: "In regard 10 the sacrament oil
the body and blood Of Christ, We have
never taught, nor do We now 1857 teach,
either that Christ descends from heaven
or from Gods right hand, or that be as
cends, either yisibly or inviaibly. We
stand fast by the article Of Faith, he as
cended into heaven; he Sitteth at the
right hand Of God. In the eighth ar.
tiele Of the Formula Of Concord, which
treats Of the Person Of Christ, certain
errors concerning this doctrine are expos-
cd and rejected, among which 10 this,
"thst the humanity Of Christ 10 locally
expanded into all places In Heaven and on
esrth-a thing which 10 not to be attri-
buted even to the divinity" But the de-
NAL OF the ubiquity Of Chriat's humanity
does not force Lutheran to accept the
Bishops conclusion, Wis: that the real
presence cannot be effected without cir
cumscriblnR and confirming Ohrists body
to the conseCrated bread.
Il cannot be said that the humanity Of
Christ Is everywhere present IN the same
manner as the divinity ID, that Is % an

five know all the methods Of approach
adopted BY an enemy We are the better
enabled to ward of the danger and post
none the moment when surrender be-

Inherent strength Of the body s1ttces 70
enable it to oppose the tendency toward
death. Many however have Lost these
forces to auch an extent that there 10 little

beautiful balloons could be seen
during the entire evening floating in
the heavens till the sight of the
human eye could see no more.
The day passed off gloriously and
everybody present expressed them
selves as being perfectly satisfied, and
left town happy. The programme
was carried out as advertised, and
nothing to displease anyone.
At night about 9 o'clock the Band
was heard discoursing some excellent
airs, and crowds and crowds of people
men, women, boys, girls, &c, could
be seen making their way to the
Court House Green to see the grand
display of fire-gorks-cOnsisting OF
balloons, frecrackers, torpedoes, pig
balloons, Roman candles, elephant
balloons, sky rockets, guns, illumina-
ting lights, chinese lanterns, and
everything imaginable. After the
crowd had gathered sprays Of fire
could be seen from every direction
and hurrahs could be heard from
every tongue. The display lasted
for some three hourse and was one
of the grandes5 ever witnessed here,
after which everyone went to his
home with hearts full and delighted
to their utmost joy.
Good orde- prevailed throughout
the entire days exercises.
The town was handsomely decora-
ted and Illuminated.
The young gentlemen Of the Eden
ton Cornet Band deserve much praise
for their efforts on the occasion.
without practice, &c,
they strove through it all and dis
coursed some most beautiful and
charming airs.
To the Commute Of Arrangements
5he thanks of our people are most
due. They did well their
part, and the celebration was, in
every respect, a most brilliant sue,
casa day to be long remembered !
and, we hope. to be repeated.

Warren had two shots remaining in

peated his charge, he would shoot
again. Brewer repeated it and told
Warren to fire away; that when all
the cartridges we're fred, his War

A colored weIl-digger, named
Haynes Pratt, met his death yesterday
morning in a well on the premises of
Mr.. c. J. Rogers. in the eastern part
of the town. 1t seems that Pratt
was at the bottom and called to those
at the top to pull him out. When he
had been pulled up few feet he fell
back, but managed to recover him
self and a second attempt was made
to pull him out. This time he was
drawn nearly to the top and fell to
the bottom, a distance of about forty
feet. The colored people standing
around were called upon to go down
into the we'll, but ali refused unless
they were assured the sum of $500
for so doing. Finally one colored
man was induced to 60 down for
$3.50 and then an eagerness was
by several for the job. A
rope was tied about the body Of Pratt
and he was drawn out, but it was
found that life was extinct-Durham
