HENRY CLEVELAND, Ed i tori *lB LAMBBT CIRCULATION. Tuesday morning, feb. to. m» OVRCHRkSTtANITIr. If people practiced the doctrine* Nya principles of Christianity as much as they profess thehi !u theory* how peace able end happy they would be, and what a glorious world this to live in ! But alas I tre ere too much given to theory, too fond of words, grand displays of ideas which are lost amid the struggles for wealth, lor fame, and for political aggrandizement. We have too much of the Pharisee about u»; 100 fond of penitentially striking our hearts on a given day of the week, and devoting the other days to speculating) to fraud, to defamation and a Whole catalogue of greater and lesser vices. The merchant will sand his sugar and water bis whiskey, and go down on his kuees in prayer, with as solemn an unc tion as though he had performed a series of virtuous deeds; the church member will recite his orisons, read his bible and sing his hymns, and then denounce his neighbor’s faith and character, retail slanders, perhaps in a doubting way, yet slanders, nevertheless, and so, contrary to the teachings of his Christianity; the fashionable ludy and gentleman whose silks and satins, and broad cloths cre ates a sensation wherever they go, ap pend their names to every subscription list which is to be published, and yet refuse the cup of cold water and the morsel of bread to the poor mendicant at their door. Pity 'tis, 'tis true—bnt such, neverthe less—and we blush to own it—is the fact. As it is in social life, soil is in our poiili ■' cal and national affairs. We find men, boasting of their Christianity, sitting in high places, and legislating in a most unchristian manner for unfortunate subjects who have no representation in the councils of the na tion, no voice in the affairs of govern ment. We find editors and publicists denouncing their brethren, retailing the vilest slanders against them, as if they were wholesome truths, advocating po litical theories diametrically opposed to those golden rules of true Christianity which teach us to “love our neighbor as ourself,’’ and “to do unto others as we ■would that others should do unto us.’’ We Hud so-called Ministers of the Gos pel denouncing the sacred Scriptures, and condemning their fellow-country men who chose to differ politically with them. We find men turned out of a Presbyterian church in Ohio because they dared to vote a Democratic Hcket. AVe find Ministers in Missouri compelled to take a test oath (more properly a de. testible oath) before they can preuch the Gospel. We find other Ministers im prisoned because their forms of prayer do not suit those in power. And so we might go on multiplying the bUck catalogue of injustice that marks the social and political progress of a great people boasting of their en lightenment,their civilization, and, above all of their Christianity.” Oh! is there no “balm in Gilead,” to heal this dreadful sore? No great mis sionary to rise up and denounce this un christian Christianity—this worse than Pagan morality ? No free and un shackled press to deal its powerful blows against this Moloch of wickedness and folly, help to hurl it ffom its throne, and establish that beautiful feature of Chris tianity—“ Brotherly Love” in its stead? We fear not. The former has obtained too firm a grasp upon our people—it has enchained them in its wicked power, and they will not rid themselves of it. And yet if Christian Ministers and an uncorrupted and incorruptible press will take hold of the matter ; denounce vice, paint it in its most hideous colors, and hold up virtue ns the bright exemplar which she is; frown down social slanders and political trickery, the hearts of rulers and ruled may finally be reached, and though perfection be unattained, yet a degree of rational and social harmony and prosperity be established which will be somewhat more creditable to our boasted Christianity and civilization than is our present policy and line of conduct. Let ns, then, work for this end, and some good may finally be accomplished. It is, at all events, worthy of the attempt. —A meeting of the Directory of the Griffin and North Alabama Rail Road ■was held in Griffin, on Monday of last week, at which it was determined to re open books of subscription—issuing new script for stock—and ns soon as one hundred thousaicl dollars shall be sub scribed, to commence work by compan ies formed of the stockholders. sjfew AdverHeements. gift sittoEirra, OF ELLIS AND CENTRE STREETS.

OWING TO THE awful condition of the 2k2sEsolUHb road from Winnsboro - to Alston, Bomb Carolina, I have discontinued my line of stages between those two points. I am now running a No. 1 Tri-Weekly Line of Four Horse Coaches from AIKEN and COLUMBIA, South Carolina, in connection with my daily line of Six Horse Coaches from the latter point to the head of the Charlotte and South Carolina Kail Road, to Ridgeway. Leave Aiken after arrival »f train—say 5 P. M., Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, arriving at head of Charlotte and South Carolina Rail Road next day at 7 P. M. Leave head of Cbarlotto and South Carolina Rail Road after arrival of train, say 7 P. M., and arrive at Aiken next night at 11 P. M. This is the cheapest and quickest route to Columbia and places beyond. Passengers by this line arrive in Columbia oight hours in advance of other lines, and by this moans make connection with places beyond, with out delay, arriving in Richmond, Va., a day earlier than they can otherwise. D. T. HARVEY. JJARVEY’S STAGE LINE. TESTIMONIALS FROM PASSENGERS. This is to certify that on the 19th day of last month, I rode from Columbia to Aiken on Harvey’s Stages. This was the first trip this line bad ever made on this road I take pleasure in saying that the coaches and teams are good, and the drivers are polite and attentive. We reached Aiken an hour before the trains passed to Augusta. There were eight passengers on, five ludies and three gentlemen, and all seemed satisfied with the time made, and I do not hesitate to recommend this lino to my friends and the travelling public generally. C. G. Holland, Fel. 6, 1861. Virginia. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 5, 1566. I take pleasure in recommending to the pnblie, I>. T. Harvey’s Stage I-ine. I have travelled with him much during last year. His teams and Stages are the best I have found in the South. I have always made good time on his line, and was always treated with marked politeness. John P. Murray, cf Tennessee. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 5, 1 866. TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. This is to certify that I have lately trav ollod over the Stage Line of D. T. Harvey, and feel confident that I can recommend this line as safe and punctual in making time, as is represented in the bills. I have always been treated with kindness, both by the proprietor and, drivers, and they are second to none in the country. R. 11. Butler. Younger:lie, N. C., Feb., 1866. TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC. I have travelled over It. T. Harvey's Line of Four Horse Stages, from Aiken to Colum bia, and from Columbia to Winnsboro’, and found his Coaches and horses No. 1, and drivers obliging. J. T. Van Hook. Augusta, Ga,, Feb. 5, 1866. For the past, twelve months I have known Mr. llurvey. Myself and family have passed over the road in his coaches. We always found them neat and comfortable, with kind and attentive drivers. Wo al ways made the best lime possible, and had the best teams that ever was on the route between Morganton ami Asheville, N. C. We always found Mr. Harvey a perfect gen tleman, disposed to accommodate his pas sengers as much as possible. E. W. Hernden. Albany, Ga., Feb. Mr. Harvey, of Danville, Va., having told me that several persons have endeavor ed to detract from the merits of It is Stage Line between Aiken, S. C., and Ridgeway, on the Charlotte and Columbia R. R., I take pleasure in saying that I regard his Line as one of the best in this portion of the coun try, as I had occasion to travel over it seve ral times lately, and have not only found them “up to time," but have found the stock better than on any other line, and the drivers careful and polite, while the vehi cles were much better than any I have seen elsewhere. This was the case, also, when the Lino was in the upper part of South Carolina, from Winnsboro’ to Alston. I would recommend it to travellers generally, going through the States of South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. Geo. C. Douglass. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 7, 1866. TO THE TRAVELING PUBLIC. I havo passed over Mr. D. T. Harvey’s Stage Line through South Carolina, and recommend it to the travelling public who may pass that way. He has good coaches and teams, and polite and accommodating drivers. W. J. Blair. February \oth, 1866. D. T. Harvey. Esq.—Dear Sir: Our atten tion was directed to a card on the train from Augusta to Aiken, written by a person named Kenny, stating that Harvey’s through Line of Stage Coaches from Aiken to Ridge way on the Columbia and Charlotte Rail Road was a gross imposition on the traveling public ; we deem it therefore an act .of duty not only to you, sir, but to all persons travel ing this route to the North to state that we made the connections with ease, having likewise several hours of spare time to make up lor any accident that might occur to any stage in whiter season. We therefore take n pleasure in corrcctiug any false impres sions that such a tout libel may have made (by an opposition line) to your coaches, drivers, or the prompt time stated in your schedule. And we further state that we arrived nine hours soouer at Columbia than the line of Stages by way of Branchville. We are, respectfully, your ob’t serv’ts, R. A. Montoomert, Rockingham, N. C.
