Reunion of tile Northern and Soutli ,u ern Churches. % Jo the Editor of the Nut’ York Times • 1 most respectfully ask permission to offer a few remarks on the subject of the reunion of the seperate churches of the North and South. These remarks spring from the dis cussion of the topic in the columns of your paper during the week. I cannot speak for other churches. They have their own pens. But, being on a visit to this metropolis, I deem it due to my brethren of the Southern Methodist Chureli to offer a tew remarks on the present aspects of the question, as I un derstand it- The Methodist Episcopal Church was, by common agreement, divided into two great bodies, the Northern and the Southern, twen ty-one rears ago. Since lhat period they have respectively grown, in many respects, quite unlike. So unlike, indeed, that, for one, I deem the reunion an utter responsi bility. The attempt, if forced upon the Southern people, would result in their total ditpersion into other churches, or new or ganizations. It should also be borne in mind that the peculiar structure of the Methodist Church does not make mere “union” essential to the accomplishment ot its great spiritualjmission. After the separation of the church into two great bodies —the Northern and Southern—it is a historical fact that they both prospered more than at any former period since the days of the sainted Wesley. Nor is there any reason to suppose their uniting would in any manner increase the the usefulness of the body, Ami there is as much reason in re quiring the I'estoiutioti again of the Metho dist Church of Canada, or the union of the British Wesleyans with the Northern Metho dist Church, as for the reunion of that church with the Southern Methodist Church. Ail the courtesies of Christian intercourse can us easily be maintained between the two lat ter as they have been between the tluee for mer churches, without consolidation. Beside, the “Union" would make the body 100 unwieldy in many respects for the tree exercise of its own functions. Already the quadrennial assembly, known ns the General Conference in the Northern Church, must number two hundred and fifty members. That of the Southern has, per haps, near two hundred. I cannot now pause to refer to statistics. If united, the body in a few years would number several hundred, and the expensiveness of holding such an assemblage would compel its divi sion. Indeed, at no very remote day it may be found necessary to set off the Pacific States into a separate church, and probably others, by the Northern Methodist Confer ence, for the above and other reasons; then the Southern Church would again find it es sential, also, to re-establish her independ ence. Nor is this all. The Church South feels the necessity of making several important changes in her general economy to meet the changed conditions of society and extend her usefulness ; and she does not wish uor mean to be embarrassed by those who never did, do not, and never can appreciate her character, claims and obligations. Tne Evangelical Methodist Church knows nothing of politics. She will spread no flags for her sacramental solemnities; nor will she bedizen the sacred pulpit with symbols of political pewer—no, not even with “The Star-spangled Banner,” though she will sincerely pray that it may Wave o'er the land of the free And tlie home of the brave " If, however, the “Union” were desired on the part of the Southern Church, the spirit and temper of the leading officials of the Northern Church arc such as to forever repel her advances. Witness the Episcopal raid over the South “flanking” the houses of God, as horses were sometimes “flanked,'’ by loose foragers who were foot-sore, and preferred to ride.* Witness the sanguinary demands iu the leading journals for the hanging of eminent rebels, confiscation and penalties. Political journals exhibit far more of the spirit of the gospel than these Methodist journals, to say nothing of magnanimity. The Christiau people of the South simply desire to be left in quiet. They underslaud their situation, and by the grace of God they will go forward in the performance of their duties. They will support the government, defend the Constitution, observe the laws, render to Cccsar the things that arc Caesar’s, and to God the things Unit are God's." But Southern Methodists would sooner seek repose and spiritual consolation in the bosom of the Roman Catholic Clutch, a thousand times over, than re-enter the bosom of the Northern Methodist Church. ludeed, we have been more kindly treated by tlie Catholics than by the Northern Pro testants for the past twenty-five years. And here another reason against re union addresses itself to my thoughts. From ail I can learn, there is to be another war—a war for the extirpation of the Roman Catholic Church. When this battle comes on, come as it may, whether with the pen, the ballot or the sword, the Christian people of the South will stand up side by side with the assailed church. We intend to claim for ourselves the right to worship God according to the dictates of our own consciences and the teachings of the word of God ; and the South, true to her characteristic magnanimi ty, will be no parly to the deprivation of any other church of the same inalienable right. In View of such a‘crisis and such a contro versy, I would entreat all Southern Christian people to maintain their present separate status, letting the fury of Northern fanaticism expend itself in these disgraceful raids upon their ecclesiastical neighbors, while they give themselves to the work of the ministry and the feeding of the tioek of Christ. Already the Northern Methodist Church stands up a boasting political power iu the United States. Rev. Bishop Simpson boasts that that church elected the late President, Abraham Lincoln. The Southern Church never dreamed of tol erating the idea of so gross a departure from her holy mission of publishing the Cross. Now, if this Northern Church, alone elected one President, how long would it re quire the two churches combiued to elect another, and then another? Animated by the political ambition, nnd inspired with the idea of a gigantic and overshadowing church, the two bodies, melted together, would, or, to say the least, could control the future administration for all coming time. So profoundly am I penetrated with the impending peiiTs menacing the land, in pros pect of the domination of an apostate Pro testant hieraicky, lhat I fed compelled to warn my countrymen against giving encour agement to the consolidation and solidarity of great ecclesiastical establishments, whose ambition, on the one side at least, has been so recently flattered with the idea of having tuled the destinies of this country for the last four bloody yean. Are the american people prepared to sur render the control ol their political fortunes to the unskilled hands of Protestant Pre lates. Are they ready to surrender the chaplain- cics of Congress, the army, the navy ; the professorships and clerical offices of An napolis and West Point to one great Nation al Church? Press this unnatural church reunion, and you encourage what may in the end prove a spiritual despotism that will make America as intolerable to liberty as the most despotic government that ever ruled a crushed aud bleeding nation. For one, as I desire the lreedom of the press, the freedom of ballot, the freedom of speech, and the freedom of worship, I will stand up in my place and remonstrate against any other union of the two churches tbau that of fraternal sympa thy and good will, which the South will not fail to reciprocate when manifested. And, then, we of the South will invoke all true patriots aud Christian people to look on and testify who best observes the spirit of the constitutional compact, the laws of the coun try, and the obligations of American citi zenship. When the South ceased her conflict with the North, she surrendered to God and the overpowering forces of the United States Government. Thus far, there she stands. But if haughty ecclesiastics in the North attempt to subjugate us as a church, aud de mand our surrender or capitulation to them, we beg to decline. It is the last thing we shall do. Nor do we deem this conduct antagonistic to the interest, prosperity, future peace, union aud happiness of the American States, but conducive in the highest degree to those im portant objects. In this view of the matter 1 consider it the worst possible policy' to agitate the subject of church reunions. ’ Let the subject sleep.— Let wise men be warned. Beware ot politi cal ecclesiastics. Beware of the pretensions of those who can make Presidents. They may, some day, unmake something. I jet the Southern Church rest. Nobody has asked her to be united in wedlock. She has not rejected any proposal. My individual opin ion, however, is, that none need be made ; and, further, if the American people, outside of all churches, could view this unpleasant subject from my stand-point, they would unitedly join me in a solemn protest against any step toward the reconstruction ot these sacred Christian bodies. D uot css some people in the South mi y accept in a small way, missionaries from tne Northern Church, and some in the North may desire once more to hear the Gospel after the manner of the departed fathers. — Let each take their course. The world is our parish. Millious are perishing—even under the shadow of Christian churches—for want of the bread of life. Let Ephrain and Judah cease to vex each other. If the South, with the sword in her hand, could uot dis solve the Union, the Northern Methodist divines need give themselves no concern about the destinies of the nation, arisiug out of the independence ot Southern Methodism. With great respect, I am yours, C. Iv. Marshall, Church South. St. Nichols Hotel, New York, Sept. 20, '65. * True, the Secretary ol War Rave an order for seizing tne Southern churches ; Imt who put the unchristian amt barbarous idea into his head ? Who claimed the right, on the ground of eminent services rendered to the jiarty at the ballot-box ? But the noble President, uot "waiting for a decision of a tri bunal already committed against everything South ern of a light color, has ordered all the churches to be restored at once. THE FALL FASHIONS. ’ OPENING DAY IN NEW YORK. [Prom tlie New York Herald of Sept. 23d.) There was more real business done yestei day than has been for many an opening past. Money never seemed so abundant, and never was more readily parted with. The new styles excited a great deal of comment and crticism, but admiration predominated. They are new and odd—two great points in their favor; small enough in the front to answer all thlj requirements ot fashion, nnd it is claimed wide enough at the cape to ad mit of a “waterfall.” This we think doubt ful, but inasmuch as fashion is fickle aud the waterfall no novelty, the popularity of the new bonnet will not depend on its adapta bility to that style of wearing the hair. Outside garments undergo little change until later in the season, but one novelty, in the shape of a sieeveess sack, has made its, appearance this month, and will probably retain its hold on popular favor, weather permitting, for some time t<> come. Short sacks, paletots, casaqucs, casquines and cir culars are all worn indifferently, and are equally popular and are equally fashionable. The coming season will probably develope some novelties in outside garments, which are very much wanted, for though we have variety enough we lack genuine novelties. Indeed it is rumored that the winter will bring us something decidedly original in this department. This will be good news for those who are tired of sacks and circulars and long for radical changes. BONNETS. The bonnets for the coming season are odd. striking and original, rather than graceful or pretty. Fashion, however, is exacting only on one point, and that point novelty ; and as the new styles arc novel enough to satisfy the most whimsical taste, we presume they will be popular accordingly. The l'anchon. which held its ground tena ciously during the summer, is, like the summer, passing awav and giving place to the.“Empire," the “Josephine," the “Gypsy," and outre looking nondescripts, formed by curiouscombinationsoflhe.se three princi pal varieties of the new style. Crowns have come in again, but not so the capes; these aie replaced by a straight, un graceful band, which seems rather a prolon gation of the crown than a cape. The crowns are generally stiff and flat; but soft crowns have also made their appearance; but these, instead of drooping ns formerly, rise above the level of the brim in full, erect puffs The front is close and round resembling the old cottage in shape but not in size. The trim ming is confined almost exclusively to the top of. the bonnet, and affects erect stateli ness rather than careless grace ; and it must be confessed there is something very striking and attrac ive in its elegant though unyield ing formality. This style of trimming is in such strong contrast with the pendent sprays, floating ribbons ana drooping feathers of the last season that it is quite a relief to the eyes, • fatigued with endless repetition of the one idea. Flowers, berries, sprays and grasses enter into the trimmings, and gold in every form, from delicate ebainwork, glittering fringe and tiny coin to burnished butterflies, with outspread wings, lends its own peculiar lustre. Lace is also much used in trimming, and ostrich and marabout feathers are fre quenlly teen enhancing the beauty and ad-' ding to the elegance of the tout ensemble. — The materials are royal and uncut velvet, chip and silk, plain and embossed. Veils of tu,le and Chantilly are attached to the left side of the bonnet, imparting to it an airy grace and costly elegance that add wondei t'ully to its attractions. Tne turoanß and round hats are still worn, and some very pretty uovelties in this style have made tbeir appearance at the opening Prominent among these is the “Madeline,' composed of black velvet, the full crown confined by a baud of crimson velvet run ning down the centre. A fauebon of black velvet relieved with streamers of black and crimson fulls over the waterfall, half hiding and half revealing the glittering net in which the mass of tresses are securely coiled. By the way, if, as the poet says, Beauty draws us withs single hair, what mast be the effect of waterfalls? Notwithstanding the marked chances in the bonnet, it still continues very small; the lront, in tact, is bat a nominal affair—a SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1865. foundation on which to arrange trimming— “ouly that and nothing more.” As to its being a shade for the lace or offering any protection from the weather, that is absurd, an old fashioned idea—so old fashioned, in deed, lhat it is about time for it to come up again as the latest fashion. The crown and band look like providing against the winter, and better still, they look like dispensing with the waterfall, which is a thing to rejoice at; for lhat artificial excrescence and manu factured deformity has had its day and more than its day, and we would be glad to see the shape of the head once more. As for colors, it would be impossible to say which is most fashionable. Green is iu high favor, and white for opera, and full dress is in great demand. Promenade hats are graver, but very elegant and stylish, and richly trimmed. We never remember to have seen a pleas anter or more successful '‘opening’’ than that of yesterday, one prepared for with so much care aud participated in with so much zest. The bonucts were generally admired—the admiration in many instances being in pro portion to the “oddity” of the bonnet, and the unusual character of the trimming. Front among the many that canto under our on servation we wiil select a few, to describe iu full, so that ladies who had not an opportu nity of being present may have a correct idea of tlie incoming styles. In A. M. Stewart’s, a hat of white uncut velvet, “ empire" shape, was universally ad mired for its simple, refined elegance. ' The most delicate blonde and the rarest ostrich and marabout, through whose leathery fringes could be indistinctly seen clusters of glancing green berries, composed the trim ming. Beside this bonnet was placed the “Jo sephine,” as odd, as elegant, as striking and as outre as any hat worn Dy the graceful im perial creole whose name It bears, and of which it seemed to be a Lilliputian represen-, tative. The material was black velvet, and the trimming, flowers and gold ornaments disposed round cape and brim stately aud full, and around it was coiled a treble cord of gold. From the cape dangled aud swung small glittering ornaments, resembling a shower ot gold and dazzling papillons, whose prototypes could only he found in the myth ical realms of the great El Dorado, hovered over the strings, as if resting after a weary fliulit. Rich crimson astors, gold sprays, grey leaves aud black lace formed a very be coming face cap. Another very elegant hat of mauve velvet attracted the attention ot the spectators, and shared the honors with the “Josephine.” The front was as small, but instead of being round and shapeless it was pointed in the centre in the well known “Mary Stuart” shape, aud turned up in the side brim, from which gold peudents swayed to and tro with the slightest motion. This shape neither permits nor requires a face cap, A veil of tulle, dotted with golden stars, falls to one side, forming a graceful fiuish aud producing a very charming effect. We must uot forget another gay, stylish looking bonnet of the “empire" shape, made of white royal velvet, laid plain on the foun dation, brim and crown forming but one piece. The junction of the crown and the straight band, by courtesy or thorough cus tom called ft cape, was hidden under a ruclt ing of velvet, and a fall of black lace con cealed its stiff, unyielding lines and impart ed to it a factitious grace. Througit the cen tre of tlie niching run a gold cord trimming in tasels of the same material. Ou the edge oi the brim a little to one side waved a white and purple feather of mixed ostrich and marabout, and on the other side purple violets interspersed with coin completed tlie trimming. It would be difficult to conceive a more quietly elegant hat than this, or without having seen it to imagine the possi bility of softenmg down the formal outlines of the present shape into suclt perfect grace. Another hat of drab velvet with a plaited silk crown ot the same color wound about with gold cord and tassels, looks like an tiquity modernized, and wants but a deep brim to bring us back to the last century. With the cron n, however, all resemblance to past times ceases, for the front is as pre- Dosterously, or, perhaps, we should say, as elegantly small as any of its compeers. In close proximity to this old-new-- hat, which would puzzle the veriest Cuvier of a modiste to assign to any peculiar class, was a decided novelty, “the Stalactile,” a perfect gem iu its way. It was made of white chip, powdered with silver, and it flashed and scintillated in the sunlight as if it had been extracted irora some grotto or cavern. It was trimmed with green velvet, and the bril liant scarlet berries of hawthorn tree ar ranged in a very peculiar aud very elegant style. Rows of velvet disposed in narrow ing circles formed a mound green as an em erald, and within this mound were sprays and grasses ol commingling green and gold contrasting with the vivid scarlet of tlie hawthorn berries, and all standing up so tali and stately within their green enclosure. It was quite artistic, and deseived all the ad miration it excited and encomiums lavished on it. The inside trimming corresponded in character with the outside—it was formed of a bandeau of green velvet, tblack and white lnce, scarlet berries and golden heath. Other bonnets of tlie same style, some frosted, some powdered with gold, were on exhibition, and received their due share of attention. A frosted chip, trimmed with rose pink ribbon and white blonde, was by uni versal consent declared “ lovely.” Full blown roses—clustered at the brim'so natural that they might be supposed to have attract ed the insect which is half hidden in the heart of one—form the outside trimming, and a bandeau of pink velvet caught up with sliver drops, at the extremity of which is a bouquet of moss rose buds," black and gold spears of grass and sprigs of heather, forms the inside trimming. Another hat, with the trimming arranged nnd twisted into something like a whimsical resemblance to a cornucopia, from tbo open mouth oi whiclt poured a profusion of grasses and sprays and heather bells, was tlie centre of admiring crowds thronghout the length of the day. There were some very pretty hats on ex hibition yesterday formed of white silk, em bossed with crape and velvet, and trimmed witlt marabout and some extrem ly distingue affairs made of black velvet. One, called the “Gypsy,” was particularly striking, aud deserves a passing notice. Its only trimming was gold and Chantilly lace ; a veil of the same costly material fringed with gold drops fell to one'side, harmonizing with the design and adding to the beauty of the lout ensemble. Judging from the plentiful supply of opera hats that graced the exhibition reoms this opening, music will be in the ascendant dur ing the winter. Every fashionable modiste prepares hats for the Academy as regularly as for the promenade; but this season they appear to have received more than their jisual share of attention, and to occupy more than their usual space in the rooms. Asa general thing white is the favorite color -, but some prefer to suit their complexion rather than follow fashion, and these instances of individual assertion are trequent enough to relieve the eye and avoid monotony. It often happens that the very prettiest bats, from their elegant simplicity, give little room for detailed description, and must be seen to be appreciated. So it is with an opera hat of white royal velvet, without flowers or feathers,‘that we saw in one of our most foshionable modiste’s yesterday. A bouquet of emerald green berries on one side, a long tulle veil on the other, aud a delicate gold cord, ending in tassels, was all the ar tiste had to work with, and oat of these slight materials she produced a bonnet that could not fail to satisfy the most refined taste. Asa sort of offset to the smallness of the bonnett, it may be mentioned that the prices are large enough. The bonnet may contract at the dictates of fashion, but the prices gen erally more tliau make up for any falling off in the quantity of the material Bonnets can begot tor twenty live dollars, but three times that amount is not thought unreason able for a first class fashionable hat. Throughout the day the different miiinery establishments were crowded by iadieseager to get the first view of the new styles. In some there was a perfect jam, and in all there was a pleasant, and we hope profitable, bustle from morning until night. Whether the success of the opeutng is to bo attributed to the favorable weather or to the great in flux of strangers among us we know not, bill we do know that it is long since we have had such an “opening" so satisfactory to all parties, such a profuse display of metropoli tan skill and such a keen appreciation of it. DRESSES. in this department there is not anything very new to chronicle. All the light, elegant, flimsy fabrics of the summer have disappear ed with the equinox, and are replaced by those heavy materials and warm co’ors that form so pleasant a contrast to the fading leaves of autumn. Moire antiques, rich silks, pjplius, alpacas, Empress cloth, reps and tlie endless variety of goods for winter wear strew the counters of Stewart's, Lord & Tay lor's, and all tlie fashionable establishments were our New York ladies delight to spend their time and their money. Plain silks are nhvays elegant, aud stripes and small bro caded patterns very desirable. Changeable silks are still to be seen, though Dot so fashionable as formerly. Dresses en suite— that is, the dress, under skirt nnd basque of the same color and material—arc the newest style and the highest fashion just now. Extravagance is still the order of the day nnd asserts its sway now over magnificent silks as it did over the airy nothings of sum mer. It has simply changed its base of ope rations, and gained in tlie heavy goods of the approaching season a firmer field for dis play. The trimmings are diverse, complica ted and profuse, sometimes in good taste, hut more often in direct.opposition to it. — They consist of velvet, ribbon, lace, silk fringe, braid and the latest novelty, goid and silver cord. Cord is also used of other colors to match the dress, where gold cord is not desirable or suitable. By tlie way, gold en ters very much into trimmings of all kinds this season. It mingles with the flowers in the bonnets, it dangles from the veils, it glit ters among the embroidery, and even in rich collars of point lace we see it shining. Sashes arc very popular, and form a very important item ot trimming. Those wide, ungainly belts lhat no lady could wear with impunity, have disappeared, and in their stead we have belts of a moderate width, fastened with clasps or buckles. THE CORSAGE. There are so many ways of making tLe corsage that ail tastes, however diverse, are sure of finding some styles to suit them Pointed waists are still in fashion, with one or more points at front, back or over the sides. The round waist is again working its way into favor, and the “Bolero’ and other jacket shapes hold their ground against all competition. Long coat tails are still worn l so also is tlie deep square basque. Both styles are ungraceful, and if good taste, and not fashion, were consulted would not ob tain more than an ephemeral popularity.— But the present rage is for something striking, no matter what is sacrificed to obtain it, and that that end is attained must lie conceded by nil. THE SLEEVE. In the hands ot a skillful modiste this por tion of the dress gives character and tone to the entire. Some dress-makers imagine they have done everything that could be desired when they make a handsome corsage and stylish sleeves, each unexceptionable in it self but uo more suitable to each other than a Tuscan capital on a Corinthian column.— It is a mistake, however, which a true artist will never commit, for she recognizes the fact that peifection in the details never makes up for want of unity and harmony in the whole design. In view of the many different styles of sleeves that we may select from it would be well to bear these few words of warning in mind:— The wide flowing sleeve of former days and the voluminous undersleeve are no long er to be seen. The revolulion of time has brought us almost to the opposite extreme._ Sleeves are worn now almost tight to the' arm, barely leaving space lor a close fitting undersleeve. Sleeves half tight to the elbow, and trimmed with an oval tab on the back or with puffings at the top and bottom of the sleeve, are much worn, as is also the funnel shape, the Cara, &c. Caps are almost universally worn, and formed in all sorts of shapes, epaulettes, points and medallions being the favorites. THU SKIRT. The amplitude of the skirt is not in the least diminished and its length is rather in creased. The universal practice of looping up the dress in the streets was likely at first thought to lead to the erroneous impression that economy was the object, and therefore prompt measures were taken to squelch out such a derogatory idea. The jupe (it would be profanity to call those elegant articles petticoats) is often made of the same materi al as the dress, more fully trimmed and more elaborately ornamented, fluted, braided, scolloped and corded than any dress, and finished in the most expensive style. It is thus, by deeds not words, ottr ladies assert themselves. In the skirt, as in the other portions of the dress, profuse trimming is the rule. It is sometimes carried round tlie bottom of the skirt, and sometimes extends up each seam. It is arraigned in talis or lozengers, or laid on in bins lold ; in fact, in every conceivable form that trimming can be made to assume, nnd in every available spot where trimming can be placed, we find it. Fluting is now gen erally confined to the underskirt. Designs embroidered with silk or braid, and inter spersed with gold or stecljbends, will be in fa vor this winter, and on heavy material will be both elegant and effective. Cord is also in high favor, and where properly used is styiisu and distingue looking. In short, skirt trimming has been carried to such an excess that we may confidently expect a return to simplicity ; for in this,’ as in other things, extremes meet. Attack. Upon a Pxc-Nic Party of Colored Folks.— About 8 o'clock la3t night, as a par ty of colored folks reached Eleventh street, E. D., on their way to the ferry, from a pic nic at Leffcrt’a Park, they were set upon by a gang of white folks, and an indiscriminnta row was the result. Sticks and stones were freely used and bloody heads became numer ous. When the fight was at its height the police of the Forty-fifth Precinct made their appearance and arrested several of those en gaged. One of the arrested uegrocs says his party were marching along in an orderly manner, preceded by a fife and drum, when h« heard someone about out, “Kill the nig gers—kill the niggers," and then a shower of stones were poured into them. A white man who was caught throwing stones, on the contrary states tnat the negroes were the first to commence the row. It was not as certained whether any one had been mortal ly injured. The following parlies were lock ed up last Bight, and Will have a bearing before Judge DailAy ibis morning: Anthony Jones, Wm. Mitchell, W. Laflin, Geo. Harris, Francis Sattcrs and Isaac White, all colored, •ad Michael Farphy, white.— N. Y. Times, 23 d in st. Mr. John Seward has been appointed postmaster at Thomasrille.
