know you are interested for the Churche*
in this city, I write. Al>>ut the middle
of January Biabop Ames arrived, and his
ootnrniaeioo was different from what we
all expected. It baa ended in liia taking
poaaeaeion of all the Methodiat Churches
in tbe city and supplying the pastorates
liia order from the Secretary -of War was
to take charge of all Churches "not supplied
by loyal pastors and appointed by
Loyal Bishops." Of course, this whs com
plied with by trustees, etc. * * * I
never had such strange emotions as on
Sabbath. 24th, when, for the first lime
in my lila, i was without freadom to worship
(-rod. No other day of my life ever
equalled it for unutterable siulness ?
Surely we are touching on some of the
prophetic times of the B;b!e.
Thie Bishop Aiues is Irom Indiana.?
As we had news about six weeks .-.go, he
"occupied and possessed" in likft manners
the Church at Memphis, ^acting a faith
ful pastor to make room for a reverend
gentleman from Indianapolis. Doubtless
tba Churches of VickxLurg, Natchez and
Baton notige and intermediate points
bar* been attended to ais..; for as none
of otfr Bishops are "loyal" in the sense
of this eclesiastie military commission,
none of tbeir appointment* may stand
before iL
In analogy with the purpose of the
United States to reduce the Confederate
Statee to the status of territories, the M.
K. Church, North, is to reduce the M. E
Church, South, to the status of missions.
Bishop Ames has unbluehingly begun
the work. He is accompanied by one
Dr. Harris"of Ohio, their As-isUm Mis
aionary Secretary.
After Southern Methodism, the head
and front of offenders against aboliHon dom,
has been disposed of, the other
Cburcbee will Lave their turn*. Dr.
Breckinridge would mHke a good lool
for bringing Southern Presbytenant under
the yoke; Bishop Potter of Pennsyl
enia, Southern KpiscopaliHn*; our Bap.
list brethren will not lack a persecutor
abd confiecator; and ho the others.
Thie ia the last turn of the screw. It
puts m Jieiinctly darker shade on the pic
ture of subjugation. It completes tie
plea for Self defence?jn o uri$ ei focit. I

and people must lake bold of the work.
Our country is invaded ; our towns and
Clitirclies are in peril; everything is at
lake, and every energy must be invoked
to repel the invader. Let no man among
us now, when called to tbe battle field |
bold back. These are times when the
preacher ? should cheerfully abandon their
peaceful avocations to roll back the tide
of invasion.
Let them, as Christian patriots, strive
in their private and public ministrations;
seek to siir up the people to do their duty
in the present crisis ; show the people
their duty, wake up the women of the
country to their responsibility in reference
to husband*. nons and brothers : unovr
*tha evils of desertion, which are alas! too
oftan brought about by letter from home,
as I understand that large naraliers of
those shot for desertion attribute their
faults to such influences; and then let all,
both preachers and people, be often aud
importunate at the throne of grace for
the country.
Let us humble ourselves before God,
with sincere rppotitence for sin and hun

doings', let us abandon the altars of

" We ' e marching on" with a tread
that is shaking the very foundation of

Mission Hoard has jus*, received, from the
Secretary of War. lull and formal author

sion Society to take possession of every
abandoned B iplisl meeting linuse within
the limits of what have Iu known as
the Kobe I States, and of every Oilier Baptist
meeting house now in the hand- of
the rebels. This great authorization was
obtained through the ageucy of the Home
Mission Secretary ami Senator Harris,
and the Homo Mission Board will need
pr_* einiueni wisdom and energy, besides
many men and much means, adequately
to ine.it their new responsibilities. The
Baptist population of the seceding Si ate,
is probably larger thfcn thai of any other
denomination, arid hundreds ol aban
Joned Baptist pulpila will be open to

An Khcatkd I'hison Kit's opinion.?
We find in the Greensboro' Patriot an
interesting account of the escape of a
North Carolina oflicer and some others
from Johnson Island, by way of Canada.
We suppose the writer to be Major Win
slon of Rockingham count)-, N. C., and
of the 45th Kegt., who has recently
reached h a home. lie say* "it is esli
mated that over three hundred escaped
oomeuurAie prisoner* are now m UhiihiIh
waiting Hfi opportunity to get home."?
Speaking of bis experience id the North,'
be says : * i
"To tbe Confederates, one who know*
would speak, cheer up. Our eeeiniea are
becoming disorganised. 80,000 Yankee
deserers are now in Canada. As to old
regiment* re enlisting, it is all a humbug.
Their treasury is failing; when this takes
place soldiers who fight under thousand
dollar bounties will not light, ("beer up.
Ood with the weapon of right will con {
ipier a glorious peace."

been lour invasions of Florida. Tbe first
was in March, 1862, when (hey catne to
