Church Seizing in Yiuginia.—A cor
respondent of the Baltimore Gazette wiites :
_ On t li c 4th, a squad of soldiers took posses
sion of the M< thodist church at Hamilton;
during the following week they went to Ar
nold’s Grove, where the family of the Rev.
Mr. Waugh occupy the parsonage attached
to the church, and in liis* absence, at Con
ference, his family was notified by this same
military force to leave the parsonage within
six weeks, or be put out at the point of the
bayonet. On the 18th, (Sunday.) another
expedition was sent out to Hamilton, the
scene of their fin-1 exploits, where they ar
rested a3l r. Pugh, Mr. Hatcher, a.id two
Messrs Hoskins, and stowed them away in
tne rgu tv<l-hou e. I made it my business
to impure the cause of their arrest, and, for
fear l might not get the facts in the case, I
sought and obtained an opportunity of see
ing them myself. 4 hey informed me tl;at
alter they were ejected from their church, as
above stated, 11 <ey went and removed some
of the personal property belonging to the
church, donated by different persons for the
use of the congregation, consisting of a Bi
ble, presented by a Mrs. Jlavenner, a hymn
book, presented by Rev. 31. Mercer, a Sab
bath school library, purchased since the war
by the congregation, and a table belonging
to 3lr. David Carr. r J’he congregation con
sists of seventy members, or communicants;
only three of this number belong to the mis
erable faction that is doing all this, and
these three, judging from actions and outside
appearances, have about as much religion as
Pontius Pilate, and Pilate had about as much
as the missionary sent her? for the express
purpose of doing all this mischief. Seventy
persons are to be deprived of the property
earned and erected by them, because three
of their eongregition desire it. Who ever 1
heard ol such a state of affairs t Then torn
away from their quiet and happy homes on
the Lord s day, its sacrcdness and sanctity j
violated by a band of soldiers, then dragged i
and thrown into prison—for what?* Was it
for robbery or larceny, or any other violation 1
of law? if so, the civil courts would pun- !
ish them. But it was for no such thing; ’
they only took what justly belonged to them, j
and what any court of jus ice in this or any j
other land, would give to them; and more!
than that, it would give them their church |
too.
The M. E. Church in Charleston,
S. C.—A correspondent of the JN. Y. Chris
tian Advocate thus speaks of the prospects
of the Northern Church in Charleston :
‘‘The Methodist Episcopal Church is a
living, acting, and eiludcnt agency here.
She is enlarging her borders and extending
her influence. Her church accommodations
area little tramped, but yet Dr. Webster
manages to keep open three places for pub
lic worship, and three services a day. There
is a, lively spiritual interest manifested in
all the congregations, and the increase of
membership is encouraging. A few whites
have lately been brought into the fold, but
these are considered exceptions to the gen
eral rule. The native white population
stand aloof, and usually do all in their pow
er to hinder the work ol the missionary in
administering to the spiritual aid and com
fort of the freedmen. But in spite of all
this, the work goes bravely on, and believers
are built up and established, and sinners are
converted to God. Brother Lewis has just
returned from quite an extensive missiona
ry trip iiito the interior of the State, and
brings very cheering accounts of the pro
gress ot Methodism among the freedmen at
Florence, Darlington, Sumter, Camden and
Columbia. Churches are being organized
at most, if not all the places indicated, un
der the pastoral care and supervision of
native preachers. We hope soon to have a
conference here, established on the plan of'
the one lately organized in Mississippi by
Bishop Scott. It. will ho a great conveni
ence to have all the machinery at hand and
in motion necessary to carrying on the great
work of evangelizing the freedmen. The
field is extensive and white for the harvest,
and not a moment should be lost in its oecu
potion. Ethiopia is sketching out her
hand, and her call for help should not go
unheeded. Apian is in process of maturi
ty for establishing at the earliest possible
moment a theological seminary for the train
ing of colored young men for the work of
the ministry. Education is now pouring
its living streams of light and knowledge up
on tho late benighted minds of the freed
men, and we must have a ministry that is up
to the demands of the times. It will not'do
for the Church to fall behind in the great
march of Christian civilization.
TnE Rev. Colin Murchison, of the
South Carolina Conference, has been ap
pointed, says the Record, a general travel
ing agent to obtain subscriptions towards
re-building the Washingtoc-sfcreet Metho
dist Church in Columbia. This appoint
ment is an admirable one, and we hope Mr.
Murchison will meet with a warm and lib
eral reception.
Bishop Soule. —We are pleased to say,
says the Nashville Advocate of last week,
that Bishop Saule’s health is improving,
lie is able to be about his room, and will,
we trust, be spared till after the General
Conference. Ho will hardly be able to at
tend the Conference, but he feels much so
licitude as to the result of its deliberations.
A Note from Geo. G. Hull, Esq.,
to Rev. J. S. Key, states that the Delegates
to tho General Conference will he passed
free over the Atlanta and West Point Rail
Iload on their return from New Orleans.
t range of Name —The Nrshville Ad
vocate says:
We have a correspondent over in Ken
tucky, who argues well against any change
in the name of our Church. But we reckon
a little alteration in our title will be made.
Since the Baltimore Conference has united
with us we extend from the Pacific in the
west, to the Atlantic in the east. We reach
into Kansas, and up to the lowa line, and
have hosts if friends, "tis well as two news
papers, north of the Ohio river. The word
“South,” appended to our name, is not so
appropriate us it once was. We do-ire to be
represented, in the future, among those who
go “into ail the world and preach the Gos
pel to every creature.” The Advocate fam
ily, and a majority of the delegates, think a
slight modification in our title, demanded
by “the situation.’’ We suppose it will be
made.
The Diocese of Florida, in its recent
Council, Bishop Rutledge presiding, with

Congression a!.
Washington, March 13.—The Senate, to-day.
refused to pass the bill for the admission of
Colorado into the Union.
The House, by a vote of 109 to 39, passed the
Senate bill declaring all persons, white or
black, born in the United State?, to be citizens
of the United States, and that the Government
should protect them in. their civil rights and
furnish the means for their vindication; nothing,
however, in the Act to be construed so as to af
fect the laws of any State concerning tlie right
of suffrage.
Washington, March 14.—1n the Senate, to
day, 31 r. Davis offered a resolution that the
joint committee on Reconstruction ought to
take the testimony of a reasonable number of
persons whose names may be suggested by
Senators and Representatives from the Southern
States. Mr. Grimes objected, and the resolu
tion goes over. The bill to increase arid fix the
military peace establishment of the United
States, was then discussed and passed. It con
tains a proposition for negro regiments.
The House was engaged with the joint reso
lution making an appropriation for the Parks
Exhibition for 18 57.
Washington, March 15.—The Senate concur
red in the House amendments and passed the
Civil right's bill. It now awaits the signature
of the President.
The House was engaged to-day with a consid
eration of the Loan Dill.
Washington, March 10. — In the Senate, to
day, Mr. Steward offered resolutions declaring
in favor of universal suffrage in return for uni
versal amnesty, believing that as negro suffrage
seems to be the main impediment to Southern
restoration, its adoption would insure the ad
mission of the Southern representatives to
Corgi css.
The House was engaged in the consideration
of the loan bill, which gives to the Secretary of
the Treasury new power in the management of
the country’s finances.
Washington, March 17. — 1n the House, last
night, the loan .bill was defeated by a vote of G 4
yeas to 70 nays. This is a condemnation of the
financial polity of the Secretary of the Treasu
ry. The bill gave him very’ large powers, and it
is supposed it will be revived and passed. If3
defeat has occasioned great excitement.
Washington, March 19.—1a theSena’e to
day Mr. Fessenden reviewed the letter of Gov
ernor Graham of North Carolina, published in
the National Inte’iiger.cer, which, ho said, was
written to show that the investigations of the
liecon truclicn Committee were not impartial.
Mr Fessenden said he did not regard the late
ly rebellious States iu.the light of a criminal on
trial, tor was lie acting in the capacity of a
prosecutor. If Mr. Graham desir 'd to intro
duce i'ur.her t stirr-my ia the case of North
Carolina he should do so.
Tiia House reconsidered the vote by whi:h
the Loan bill was rejected, and recommitted
the bill to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Washington, March 20.—The House, to
day, passed the bill to protect from legal prose
cution Union officers for acts committed du
ring the war by order of their superior officers.
President Johnson to the Kentucky Dele
gation.
A delegation from the State of Kentucky pre
sented to President Johnson on the 9th inst.,
the proceedings of a mass meeting held at
Frankfort, Ivy , indorsing his veto message.
Mr. D nwson read an address, in the course of
which he said the presence of the agents of the
Frecdmen’s Bureau in Kentucky tended to pro
duce demoralization among the negroes ; annoy
ance and inconvenience to the white citizens,
and was productive of no good resu’ts.
The people of Kentucky, and the laws of the
State, if left to themselves, will secure the ne
gro in all his rights of person and property.
There are more cases of wrongs by negroes upon
white persons in the State which go unpunished
by the civil authorities than of wrongs by whites
against the blacks.
He would not disguise the fact that there has
been and there still is some impatience and dis
satisfaction felt by the people at what they re
gard as unkind suspicions and discriminations
.against them upon the part of the Government
which they sustained throughout the late terri-
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE
b'e confl.ct at such a sacrifice as only they and
those similarly situated can know.
The President briefly responded, tendering to
those whom the delegation represented, and to
the State of Kentucky’, his unfeigned thanks for
the kind expressions and manifestations of con
fidence in him personally, and the indorsement
of the policy which shall control his adminis
tration.
It was peculiarly gratifying to receive these
assurances at this particular time. He trusted
that the result would, show that the confidence
thus repost and was not mb placed, and would
never become a matter of regret upon the part
of those who gave expression thereto. The pres
ent is regarded as a most critical juncture ia
the affairs of the nation—scarcely less so than
when an armed an t organized toree sought to
overthrow the Government, by armed combina
tions: and mid-ary force is t o more dangerous
to the nati mi than an attempt to revolutionize
and undermine it by a disregard ami destruc
tion of the safeguards thrown around the liber
ties of the people in the Constitution.
Oar stand has been taken. Our course is
marked out. We shall take no step backward
in this matter. No other or higher evidence of
our purpose in this regar l can be given than
has already been furnished. In the future, as
in the past, we shall endeavor in good faith to
make the administration of the affairs of the
Government conform to the Constitution in its
letter and spirit. Therein is the only guaranty
to the liberties of the people
It is hoped by’an adherence to this rule to
remedy ere long all the irregularities and an
noyances to which the people have been sub
jected. Again do we assure you that these de
monstrations of confidence and assurances of
support upon the part of the people are so ex
ceedingly cheering to us that we are grateful for
and properly appreciate them, and that our most
earnest wish is so to discharge the trust con
fided to us as to merit them.

The Release op Semmes —lias been fore
shadowed twice in the Ledger's dispatches, and
the sudden “ hitch ” 1 have spoken of while the
work of securing evidence was in progress, was
tile President’s own act, and the result of a full
examination of his case by the Executive, is the
order issued this morning for his discharge
from further imprisonment. At no time, it is
said, w:i3 the arrest approved cither by the
President or Lieutenant General, it beb'g the
opinion of each that the prisoner was fully pro
tected by his parole. The letter of Semmes
himself, backed lip by the legal opinion of

French Commerce.
According to recent official returns, it appears
that the imports of France, during the year 1805,
exceeded those of the previous year by 251.090,-
090 francs, and the increase ol exports reached
the sura of 273,000,009 francs. Since 1 SGI,
French exports have increased from 1,946.260,-
090 to about 3,200,000,009 francs. These facts
constitute the strongest argument that can be
framed in favor of ftee trade ia Franc 1 . If the
effect of free trade is thus favorable to the pros
perity of France, why should not a similar sys
tem be beneficial to this country ? The test of
experience or. y served to convince French pro

SIX EVENTS OF LAST WEEK.
Last week wav one t > b > memorable in the
history of our country, and specaiiy to 1 e clt. -
tinguished »mong tue closing sco’ev- of tho late
war lbr tho Constitution ad the Union
On Monday the Vkto of the Fr olmen’s
Bureau Bill was sent by the President to the
Senateoftho Unittd State-. The tv/o grand
prints which ce made in his M e-sage,
first, the unc >nstitutionality of the bill, and',
secondly, it is opposed to the fu darner.la!
principle of our imtituii ms, v z: that the peo
pl3 who bear burdens must ba repie.cntef in
the Legislature that impo-e them: taxation
and representation are m eparnhie

The second incm.»rab'o ev<nt of the week
Wft'the uprising of the people in .‘Uppirr, ol
the President’s Vito Met;age. No lung like
it has Ken known sree tho apear. war meet
ings of 1891. la cities, villages an I remote
rural i eighoorbo. ds, tho people by cm m n
impulse, an instinct of danger and dclivera- ce.
give expression to tbyoir feelings by tn.husi
sist c demonstrations. Meting* were he’d,
speeches made, cannon fi ed, and the air rout
w th the sbou'3 > f the pe pie.
Toe third overt to do mentioned was ire
celebrat on of Wtshirg on’s birthday. This
"fras more general as and more e 11 u-on-Uc tint*.-
usual. The war was over, ad Washington's
c >u: try was res ored to unity peace. The
children of 'Washington ceebraud IDs birth
day or. ce nitrons one family, separa ed in
deed for a time, but now cue and to ba or.e
forever.
Th e fourth event wa'stha great Union meet
ing in tnts city on Thursday mg' t. It, was
composed e-f men < f all sanes. but all the
speu.e sand rminsg< rs were leading numbers
or the party that oi .eled a* and supper s tho pres
cut Adm'Uiislrn i >e. Some ol them have been
known as thoroughly ra-iiei! in tbeir views
and measure?. They met to sustain the Pres
idect in ois hero c sand up >n tho basis of the
Constitution at and '.be ivhoie union. Mr. Sew
ard, the Seretary of State, was Here, wen
with the barb e sofsta'e and re; rred by tbe knife
thatsoughthisd stinotion. Feeblemb dv bu
strong and cheerful in spr.t, ho stood be o; e the
assemb ed thousands and | r chinr and the ; r nei
pees iba-, corer? ed the bre him n’.etl Pro ’Joint
and the present Administration, in re-toii -a
the country to peace ad union. M-*. Denni
son, the Putt Master General, was tin re. a::d
maintained the rig; t of all the States to h*
represented, and thy duty of Congress to o • n
its doors to loyal and true m-n flora tno - ;
quar er of the land. Mr. Raj m>r and am m—
ber of Congress, and a leading mem her of the
party in power, took the ground tha*
Congress is how obstructing, not promoting
the work of union, at.d he contended that a
movement is going on to change the nature ol
our institutions, and make the government
imperial instead of republican.
the fifth g eat act in the d-ama of last week
was the speech of the President at W asbington
on Thursday. Being called upon by a ve,t
crowd of citizens, he ntf.de an impromptu
speech in defence cl himself and Ms podgy
against the personal attacks Da’ bad been m uk
upon him, in and out of Congress. It wi* a •
unfortunate address. Betrayel in tho excite
ment of his situa ion into undue warmth, the
President retort and upon hi3 enemies with a de
gree of personality that was more painful to
ii s r ends than to ill se he denounce! It is be
low the dignity < f his office for the President
to bandy wo:ds with demagogues. It is
belter for him, always, to tru3t to the good
sense of an enlightened p3ople, which never
fails to do justice. But as de from this unhap
py reference to his enemies, the President’s
exposition of the principles by which fco is gov
erned, and the dangers of the times through
which we are passing, will m&ke a profound
impre sion upon the country.
Ho brings us b;ck to the status ante helium
—where wo were before the war—and shows
us clearly that he is a traitor and a disunion*
ist who denies the rights of tba people u tder
the Constitution. Ours is a federal republ e.
The States are to be fairly represented by men
true to the Constitution and the Union. None
but loyal men ought to hold power under it.
But if the S ates send such mea to Congress,
they have a right to tbeir sa&ta and to refuse
them, is to change the f v rm of our Govern
ment, to defy the Constitution, and inaugu
rate a revolution.
The sixth was « great speech oi Alexander
11. Stephens before the Legislature of Geor
gia, on Thursday. His views are patriotic arc!
statu manlike, and if they are embraced by tho
whole South, we are one pe/ p’e forever. 110
says, “I deem lie whole United States our
country, to be cheiished and defended a? such
by all our hearts and all our arms.” That’s
the true meta!. We ask no more, to make us
a united, happy, glorious Dation.
All tbe3e great events were compres?ccl into
four days of tho last week: mtm arable days,
and their influence will be felt for j Qirsto
come, on tho legislation of this country,
The Quartermaster’s'Departin?nt propose* a

in a dilapidated condition. It will, no dottb ,
create a sensation in the Old World.— Exchange
Doubtless, and will bo thoroughly laughed at
with tlsoso who sent it. What possible interest
the French, or any other people in Europe, can
feel in an old worn out army wagon, vve are
unable to see.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
We are asked—
-1 Are preachers agents for the Advo
cate ?
They are, where they will act. In the
Conference! of which it is the official organ
—SjuTi Carolina, Georgia and Florida—
the paper L sent to tin m free of charge,
on the cmditiou they procure subscribers.
In other Conferences, any f readier sending
S3O can get the paper without charge.
2. How is m ney to be sent, and at whose
risk. Semi by safest method within reach
—by mail or express—and at. lisk ts cflico.
But where the risk is greater than ordinary
wait till the opportunities are better. Dele
gates to General Conference can carry up
the money you now have in hand.
“ Bro. . though a member of the
Conference, does not get the paper.’ So
says a correspondent. Answer —1. We did
not renew his P. O. 2 It would have been
eary for him to have sent in a few names,
and said that he wanted the paper. 3. It
would have been easy for him to have said
as much without sending names. Surely
the paper is wonh writing for.
Will correspondents p ease take notice.
I Let ers contaii ing r.ames of subscribers,
remit'ances, Post Office changes, etc., etc ,
should have nothing else written upon them.
Tfiey m ivt go at once io the hands of tho sub
scription ele k and bo jut on file. Nothing
else, therefore, slu u’d be on tbe same paper.—
Even on the back of it
2. Ii anything is to be said to J. W. Burke
& Cos., wii.e that on another slip cf pa
per.
3 Ifanythirg is to be sa'd to the Editor of
the SoutLe n Christian Advocate, write that,
too, on a> other sbp of paper.
4. Always tign yc ur name and give dato and
