7b the Editor of the Boston Journal :
I am h?r? in tlilscld Kngliah town to atIsnd
a meeting called by tha church war d??i
of this dtnooM. which was held yester
day afternoon. It w?i attended by w*?r?l
Lord*, i *anib?r of member* of Parliament,
will a larger number of clergymen. and the
great body of ehureh wardens of thia vicln
Ity. and members of the Chureb, of England.
A* foreshadowing the futuie, It Is one of the
most important mooting? which ha* been
-held since Victoria oama to the throne.
WOT TUB MBrnXO WAS BKLIV
The iir.niedlnte cooeeion whioh brought
this great body of stanch men end women
together in convention t* a charge recently {
given by Dr. Hemllton. Bishop ol Salisbury,
-who reside* here under the shadow of the
tallest Cathedral spire in England. But
beforo noticing the featnrea of the eherg*. ^
a few word* In regard to the *' ritnaliatle "
movement now going on in tha Church of
Kapland are ueceeeary for a elear underatapdlng
af the question. For a long time
there hav* been two partiee in tha enurch
?tha low ehureh party?those who were
-couleat with a simple ritnal?the wearing
of robes by the ministry,and bowing only
at the name of Jesus in the service, turning1
toward the altar while repeating the thirtynine
articles. The High Church party for
a long time has advocated a more imponing
ritual, and gradually they have introduced
in many churches the use of candles, Incense,
embroidered robes, crucifixes, genu
flexions, and wbnt is called the intoning of
he Scriptures, till in a largo number of
churches a stranger would see but little
variation from the ritual of the Romish
Church. It ia a party powerful by tla numbers,
its wealth, position and influence, embracing
a large number of the aristocratic
families ef the realm. The advocates of
high ritualirm claim that a majority of the
members of the Church of England are in
favor of the introduction of more forms and
ceremonies in the service. The Archbishop
of Canterbury, the primate of all England,
the Bishop of Oxford, and the Bishop of
Halishury, and I know not how many more
prelatea, ore High Churchmen; also, Mr.
Cladstone. It was stated io the mooting
yeeterdar, that the High Church party had
control of the Ecclesiastical Courts and the
management of EccKsinstical affairs generally.
in tho parish of St. Albans, a Monkish
brotherhood hss been formed, called the
"uuiid of 51. Albans, where llio conioeaional
has been nUMUhcd, and where
Miany of the rights and ceremonies of the
Romish Church are imitated.
The High Churchmen are active and
energetic. You may purchase their 1 recta
ud pamphlet* at alt the railway stations
and book stalls, and they commend their
doctrines to the lower clnssps by advocating
the abolition of the pew system, and making
church sittings free to all. As your
readers aro doubtless aware, many second
eons in gentlemen's families enter the church
as clergymen?not on account of moral
fitness, but bocau'c they must have standing
in society, and it is only a question of
choice whether tlioy purchase a commission
in the army or in the church. This class of
ministers are generally ndvncntcs for a
grand and imposing ritual. Let me not he
understood as saying that oil of the aristocracy
aro High Churchmen. On the contrary,
some pf the pobility ore strenuously
opposed to any departure from the present
forms and ceremonies. The Low Churchmen
are sometimes called tho " Evnngelicala."
Tlioy arc hoat'le to innovations in
form or doctrine, and look with alarm at d
indignation upon the practices and doctrines
latoly brought forward.
TOH UI8I101- OK SALISBURY.
A clap of thunder from n cloudless sky
could not ho more startling than the doctrines
enunciated by the Bishop of Salisbury
throe weeks since to the clergy of his diocese.
There was no call for the charge; it
was an extra ecclesiastical opinion, put
forth as the Dred Scott decision was?as a
feelor. It is not the Bishop's opinion alone,
but that of other prelates. It wa* intimated
Ofterdny that it was the opinion of the
ArehhUhop of Canterbury as well.
What those doctrines are will he seen by
quoting from the Charge. The Ch<*reh of
Kngland, in common with most Protestants,
hold thai the words of Christ uttered at the
Last Supper?" This Is my body "?are to
be taken figuratively, ^ile the Romish
Church bold that Christ's hotly islictiially
nod literally present. The Bishop of Salisbury
says: .
"Obi-Lord's words, 'This is mv body.'
ought to be understood literally.
The effect of your blessing the elements is
that there becomes a reel presence of the
Lord's body and blood i.i the Sacrament."
The Bishop believes, in common with
many members of tlio Episcopal church, in
an Apostolio priesthood, but not stopping
there, he maintains t hat " to the clergy are
drU<j<iUil the ministrations of the Priesthood
of Jesus Christ." He docs not openly say
that a priest has power to forgive ein or
al>solve sin, but it is generally understood
that he holds to that belief, although he has
not seen fit to make a public avowal.
No one mi?yudges the Bishop's sincerity,
and all speak of him with affection, and if
he were the only clergyman of the eslab
lished church holding such doctrines, there
would have been no such gathering as that
of yesterday, but it is understood that be is
on'y the mouthpiece of the Ritualistic party,
and that "ritualism" means more than a
change of-ferms and ceremonies?the acceptance
of doetrinee which will ere long
sweep the church of England over to Rome.
I have not. space to give extracts from the
tracts and psinphlets put forth by the ritualistic
p'artv, bat it was stated by several
of the speakers, and the pamphlets warrant
the aaaertion, that the new " Guild of St.
Albans" held to nearly all the doctrines of
the Roman Catholic, transiibstantiali^m,
confession and absolution and the power of
the priesthood.
ruE MEiTrxo.
It was held in a lurge hall, which was
packed to It* ntmoal; extra trains were run
no the railroads and their usually quiet old
town was filled by stanch men and women
of iho middle class, whose souls are stirred
within them at the ntterance of sueh doctrines
as those put forth (>y the bishop.?
Oenaral Buckley of the army presided?a
stout, bluff Englishman. Lord Sydney Os
borne, wbo although a Lord is also a minis
tcr of the church of England, gave the first
address. He is tall, spare, has a thin face
and gray beord. He spoke with much
emotion. He could not eoneeivc of a meet
Ing held under more trying circumstances.
)Ie would not ndnce matters ; they had met
In direct opposition to the chief officer of
their church, in the town in which he
dwelt, and in which he was justly loved
and respected. He never had belonged to
a religious party, but the time had come
when it wis* neccenry to look danger boldly
fn the face, for .*.11 that tliev held dear was
threatened?the fsith of their fathers and
their own faith. He would give the Bishop
of Salisbury credit for being sincere, and he
whhed lie could my the same of nil the
lib hops on the bench. Ilo then took up
tin dm triiiid I oiut.-* ot the bi.lu p's charge,
TUB 8 <
hewed how Mm prelate had departed from
th? dMtrhin of (hi chortk aid concluded
with gloomy farfcbodtnge for the future wel
fere of the ehitroh. He offered a resolution
to the effect that the meeting viewed with
alarm end indignation the Innovntionv
which had been introduced into manj of
the pariah churches.
Mr. Long, member of Parliament, atated
(hat In a larva number of the pariah ehurohes
eandlea and Inaenae had been inlrodueed.
The tirao hee come, he aatd, when many of
them mnat either be subjected to just auch
displays aa may he aeen in the Romish
churches, or attend clinrCh at great inconvenience
in other parishes, or j'in the die- '
enters. In the town of Calne, the parishioners
had gone to work to build another j
church, as they could not stand the popish
mummeries forced upon thorn by the officiating
clergymen. In some plaoes secret
confessionals had been established, and ?o
men an<l girl# were eneourege4 io repair to
eon fesaion without letting husbands and
parents know of what was going on. lie
nuoted from tlio London Times, which aaid
that " Rit**ili*tn t* the shadow of a great
calamity," but it is more than that, it is the
downfall of the nation. He scouted the
idea thai the Ritnaliats were lu tho majority
; they would hud that the nation which
sent Charles I, to the block and drove
James II, from the throne was not going to
scecpt Rome with all her abominations.
Rev. Mr. Graves made a thrilling address,
saying that " England was on the evo of a
revolution." Let the ritualists have their
way and thore was an ond to the Chinch ;
society would undergo a change such as
England never had experienced ; the power
of England would be like tknt. of Italy or
Spain among the nations. Tbere were
many mout eyes in the house; strong men
wept as he narrated the ebonies that had
already taken place, and added that if
things were allowed to go on as lliey were
going there would soon lie the confessional
in every parish. Ue did uot believe in
leaving the ehurch and joining the nonconformists,
but he would slay in the cliuich
and drive the Ritualists to Rome.
I have not spaee to notice in detail the
many epenkere. Some speakers doclared
that rather than submit to such degradoiion
and mummeries as were practiced, they
should at once join the diB'eoters. Others
advocated remaining and fighting it out to
the end in the Courts and in Parliament.?
Resolutions were adopted, and petitions
signed for presentnlioii to tha House of
Lords. It is claimed by tho ritualists that
a majority of the peers are favorably dis
posed to a change in the ritnnl. One
speaker was for fighting it out in the Courts.
"IJut what if the Courts sre agaiuut lis?-*
was tlie question. " Then I shall step out of
the ChuicfT of England," was tho emphatic
statement roundly applauded.
One gentleman said that a great deal of
censure had been east upon the clergymen
who had introduced caudle* and incense
into the ritual, while the Bishop of Salisbury
bad been ticated with great leniency
by ths speakers. IVbat wou'd England
say if one of the Admirals of the Royal
Navy should mule-lake to go over to an
enemy with nil hu llett, guns, tlores, munitions
and men! Yet that was just what
the Bishop was doing I Ritualism was
Rome in disguis*. It was no time for soft
words or smooth speeches. Tlu-se sentiments
were lienriily npplnuJed.
TliK Vt TL'KK.
It i? a dark hour to those who are attached
to the simple forms of the English ehurch
It was evident from the tone of the meeting
that the Ritualistic movement Lns made
much great'r progress than lies generally
been supposed. It is als:> evident that
lurge numbers are leaving the fold of the
church and joining the Konnmifoffhists, and
tliut others arc joining the Roman Catholie
Church. Wo are not warranted in usstiniing
thnt the Ritualists, id a l>ody, intend to hooon?o
Romanists, though the !/iw Churchmen
maintain thnt there is no hailing place
between Ritualism uwd l'ejury, and that
inasmuuli as the doctrines and practices ?>f
the Ritualists conform to the Komnn Church,
they will noon acknowledge the Pope a?
head ol the church, rather thuu the tjueou
of Krigland.
The natural sequence to thin is that there
will bo a breaking uj> of tlio distiuclivo features
of English society, nrlsing from the connection
between church and state, mid so tho
London Times, foreseeing the end, exclaims that
" Hitunlisui is the shadow of a great calamity."
And ono of tho speakers of yesterday had reason
to say that " England is on tho cvo of a
great revolution."
After the in"eliug I saw a plain man, in a
working suit, a farmer from a rural parish, in
conversation with a clergyman.
' What shall I do? Wo have candles and
incense nnd nil the new fangled notions in our
service," said the farmer.
" Tell your clergyman," was tho rely, " that
it is a grief to you?an innovation?a practice
not warranted by tbc Scriptures tlor by the
Church."
" Hut ho won't stop for thnt. Do yon think
that ho will give any attention to a layman?
ho boing a priest?"
" Then, if thoro is a good dissenting chapol
near and a minister who is not rejoicing in the
troubles of o?r church, go there : hot fl" there
is no such cbnpcl near get togctlieryour neighbors,
read the service yourself, rather than
countenance tho mummeries of the Church of
R9tne."
Whether tho disruption of tho Church ol
England has coinincnced?whether thero Is t<)
Ik! a breaking up of sorno of the distinctive
fcnturcs of English society?whether England
in till* day, nf'.er tlireo hundred year* of proteatation
against Roma, in about to accept
l'opcry, remains to be aeon.
Tho question is alroady beforo Parliament.
Lord Shaftsbury is an Auti-ritnalist and has
introduced n bill in rvdation to " Clerical Vestmen
In." A meeting was held ir. London three
days ago in support of it, which was numerously
attended. Ono of tho spankers boldly
accused tho Archbishop of Canturbery of nr?k>
ing a Jesuitical speech. In that mooting lov'ernl
declared their intention of quitting the
church if tho ritualistic practices woro continued.
Prom ull this your readers will sco that
a question is alrcndy beforo tho English people
which bids fair to inako a great rofo in in
society. Tho question is deeper than that of
Reform ; it takes hold of tho inmost ronvie(lions
of men and of their most cherished opiuions.
It relates to the prcseut and tho future
lifo. Tho questions are the old ones of their
fathers?for which they fought and in which
they triuinphod. Tho Anti-ritualists hnvo
been asleep; they had no conception of tho
progress which Rifnwlisni had made, lust now
they nro awake and the mooting of yesterday
is but tho pcrcursor of others?of an agitation
I which will bo felt from Land's End to J..tin
O'Oroat's House. Tho result no imo ran sco.
T have no speculations ami but one prediction
to Fwikc : Whatever clso may haiq-cn, Kuglaud
is u</t going over to Home!

Last weak we reportcu the case of Aonbw
m. Bobo, decided bvforo Judge liar as, at this
Court, which was au actios upoA a do to given ,
In 18&8, for & nogro ; the note being held by a .
New Yorker, under tho-protecliou of the Court, ,
? verdict wm given for "tho entire debt The |
case wm defended with greet ability, and, according
to oar humble opinion, by tbe moil ,
triumphant argument, by J. P. fe?r>, Eaqo
the Solicitor of thia Circuit, who meintainod
that contracts not having been executed, and ,
the law of tbe land making it now criminal to ,
hold a dave, no Court eoald enforce the contract
now remaining executory.
Cues ot this kind have not yet reached the
Supreme Court of tbo United States, and the
case we speak of Wing under two thousand
dollars, no appeal can be taken, so the verdict
of tbe jury as to it is final. This is to bo regretted,
as wo think it most probable that the
Supremo Court would dooido the ease against
the enforcement, at this time, of contracts for 4
negroes upon the sumo grounds thattbeSuprcme
Court of Louisiana lias dceidod. Wo ore
constrained to bclievo so, because the analogous
cases support that decision, that where
tbo law supporting a contract Is repealed, the
contract goes with it, more especially when
the vory consideration of the contract becomes
absolutely criminal as well as void.
Whether the Plaintiff is entitled to psy <
for the services of a negro up to the time of ,
emancipation, is woollier question. Natural ,
justice would seem to require this much \
certainly, we think no more. The power \
of States and Governments to emancipate I
slaves, has always been claimed and exer- <
ciaed, and win-never that power wss put in 1
force, the Stntc and tlio Unitod "State* as 1
scried llnlr paramount right and title to
control the services of slaves. After they
have done this, it would seem injustice in
those powers, through a court, or any other
instrumentality, lo compel any man lo pay
for the life time services of a negro, when
these same powers, State and Federal, civil
nnd military, would terribly punish hiiu if
lie dared to elaim those services.
We think General Kick Lies, iu suspending
all suits for negro debts, lias shown a wise
forecast, nnd that Ids proceedings in this
rcgnrJ will ho fully vindicated her? after by
every department of Government, both

unperformed, must perish with slavery itself.
This we veil tu*c to ?ss?rt, notwithstanding
tlie opinions of a number of good
lawyers, mid respectable jurists to the contrary.
Wo know we litre many of the
same eort to sustain our opinion.
Eallrcnd Connection with Aobovillo.
North Caro'.iuA.
Our information assures us thai the Itni!roiul
from East Tennessee will reach Ash. villo.
Now is the time for every friend of
his Slate, and of Charleston, and every
Western North Carolinian, and Keel Ten
nessccan, Kentuckian and Cincinnati citi
r.en, to secure a connection, the lest and
easiest, between Charleston and the great
North-West. From Aslieville to Gro*nville
is only sixty miles ; there is a good gap in
the inonctains, and splendid ground to
build on thie side, and the other side.?
Oreenvillc is the route for North Carolina
and the West, as well as for Charleston ?
It will be tho nearest by constructing the
short link between Ninety-Six and Aiken,
and over ground that never overflows, wrilh
no possible chance for freshets to interfere,
as l>y the rivers leading to an 1 from Golinn
bid. Our over-mountain and western
friends, by the Greenville route, will have
the advantage of tho nearest?certainly the
best access to Charleston, and also as to
travel tho heel routs tn (Via ft.uil 1.-W
Georgia, and to Savannah and Augusta.-?
At the game time, they would he connected
with Columbia by the present Ilui'road, and
with that connection, they would have a
connection with the whole central part of
South Carolina. Columbia would receive
for distribution, to the Districts around and
beyond her, and for her own market*, full
supples of precisions, direct from the fertile,
provision-producing regions over the
mountains, instead of from Now York and
ltaltimore, and great trade between our
State and the West would be the coose
rpience, to the mutual good of all. We shop
return to this subject again.

Tho reader will find in another column a
very interesting article from tho Boston Jo*rn<il,
giving an account of the groat controversy
now going on in England, between lbs Ritualists
and their opponents. Ritualists ur0
those who attach supreme importance in
Church worship to tho dross of tho ministov
and church ornomonts, wax candlos, genuflections
and divers etlior and various trninporics(

hip which Iho llitiralists insist are becoming to
genuine Christlenity, and wliieh the mm *pir
itunl part of the English Episcopal Church re.
gard with groat disapprobation and disgust.?
The Ritualists aro carrying their imitation of
Roman Catholics eren to Iho adoption of tho
confessional, and sonre are c*cn going over to
Romauism. The Dissonicrs in England, Methodists,
Presbyterians and Baptists, aro, of
course, with tho best portions of the Episcopal
Church, opposed to tbis Ritualism and its tendencies.
It is to bo hoped that it will produce
a separation in England of tho Churoh and
Slate which always, in all countries, in al]
nges, hns been and must bo corrupting and
degrading to tho church of lliin whose kingdom
is not of this world.
Thcro is hopefulness to tho world out of the
very excos* of Ritualistic folly in lite High
Churcb of England, if that groat country
shall set the example of separation of Church
and State, (as it ought to have done long
ago,) and full seligiour toleration would
speedily heroino the rnlo among civilised
nations instead of tho oxc?|Hion. The

The enterprise.
Having reduced our paper to tho loweet
n'o that any one desirb g a paper could
ifk, and having, as wo believe, spared to
>aiiis In advocating those measures promo
ivc of tl.c welfare and Interest of tho peoile,
wo think wo have eoine claims upon
>ur friends for them to Use their exertion to
idd now subscribers to our list. These wo
lave been oonstanlly gaining, it is true,
nut .now that p'onty has again returned,
ihrougli the blessing of general good crops,
here are f. w persons in the country tliat
:anrut afford to take a paper, whatever
ihoir circumUaveet. The a.lvantngos of
u.Mcssing a well conducted newspopor, giv J
tig news ami information concerning mat- |
era of interest ami importance to all class !
-s of men, ami nfForiling cntci tniuing and
instructive reading, can IrnrJly be overestimated.
It is often the case that a single
number of the paper contains information
ivorth fnr ttmro than a year's subscription,
ind ocensh nally n hundred fold, because
tome discovery in regard to the business of
ihc reader, or improvement either in farmlog
or in mechanics, in trade, In medicine,
>r some of the thousand tilings that oonsern
men, women and children Id every de^
parlmont of life, are often in the columns of
the nevspnper. Not only in material
things is information given, but literary entertainment,
moral instruction, and occasionally
matter concerning the great interest
of RrViglon itself, and tluffe things that
ihnpg kingdoms nnd nil societies of mrn.
Not only these things are furnished by
Ihc newspaper, l.?t whoever desires to know
ihe eotenaporary history of tlrt world
Lhey live in, should subscribe for one. The
luhreribcrs^ of the-E*Utrpriu, doubtless
with very few exceptions, are well aware
t?f nil this. Will they endeavor to extend
Ihe benefit a of their knowledge nnd help

We ask it aa a favor.
