HEAVY ON THE EPIsCOPALIAS.-A ie liable gentleman from Southwest Georgia reports the follo-aing: An eminent Episcopal clergyman wade an appoint ment to preach at Albany not long since. Everybody was invited to be present; and there being no Episcopal Cburch in Albany, the largest church was secured for the occasion. This church had a very large gallery, which was appro priated for the u.e of the colored peopje. The appointed Sabbath came, and the b6 ilding was crowded up stairs with blacks; down stairs with whites. There being no retiring room, the minister had to enter the Church clothed in his eierical robes. While all were im patiently waiting his arrival, there . sud enly 'appeared a ghostly figure clothed in a long white robe, walking up the aisle. This, of course, was the expected divine, but Culfie in the gallery had nover seen the like before. All of a sud den a shout.of Ku klux ! burst fr6m~the galery, and Africa broke in ihdignimi nate pell mnell for the open air. Heels ver bead -they fell, rolled e nd tumsbled, aid rolled out of doors. The whites, iewing the uproar, also became alarmed, and some one shouted fire. Panic seized the w hite audience, and out they rushed, ut the doorways being crowded, they speedily made doors of the windows. Gass and splinters flew in -every direc ion. The Ghurch was soon emnptied,I and presented the appearance of having een riddled with grape shot. Quiet ias finally restored; the cause of the isturbance-the white audience re turned, but no earthly inducemer.t cnuld ever indnee the negroes to go back. here w ere na converts to the "true church" among the blacks in Albany on the occasion.-Ch- onicle & SentineL.

He spoke of the Commission of Christ to the A postles -the day of Pentecost-early persecu tions under Roman Emperors-heroic frmness and f ertitude of the Christian matrs-the dis ine p)reservation of the Church from corrupting change-its imn mutable stability and continuous grow th in niumnbers and strength, all along through the centuries, until the present tme. There are not many Roman Catholics i.n this place, and this is the first visit of so high an official of that Church which has occ-irred within our recollec tion. PERSONA.-Among the passengers who arrived up yesterday evening in the Aquia creek mail-boat were many who had been in attendance upon the session of the Annual Council of the Episcopal Church of Virginia in Fredericksburg, which adjourned on Saturday last, Gen eral Robert E.

During his stay in Fredericksburg the General was met one morning about a hundred yards from the door of the re sidence of a gentleman with whom he was to take breakfast by fifty beautiful little girls children of the most pro minent citizens of the place, who strewed 60o"-ers in his path, and hie walked the distance upon a bed of roses, the volunteer ofleri.ngs of innocence and loveliness to a brave and noble man.
