As the beDdinge, with the addl-
them how making, win no* aecosaaso
date more than jiffy boarders, par
■ana intending to auad should make
application as early so possible oo so
bo broaght up for five years,
wo think that tbe friends of the
General Bynod Booth in tbe North
Gnedina Byuod allowed themselves
to he overreached. Fire yearn’ nia
uipaint ion by the determined a^vo-
cafes of union with the TmgBee
Byuod can not fail, unleaffPHmat
protects the old and faithful Synod,
to make that body as symbolical
and as lifeless as the Tennessee
Byuod. The object of the aniou of
Tennessee and North Carolina had
for its float jHirpuse beside the better
support of the North Carolina lite
rary luaututious, for which, a lead
ing minister tohi us, it—the union—
would he a good thing, the uuion
with the General Couual. We sek
now if neither Tennessee nor North
Carolina Bynods, after all the efforts
made, and all the time and labor
wasted, have succeeded in effecting
each an uuiou, what probability is
there that tbe other Bonlheru Bynods
would have oouuected tbeuiselves
with the Council f Bat Ilolstou
Synod sefiurated from the General
Bynod Booth. Yea, and the beat
and the most enlightened and godly

On opening our exchanges ftaai
Thursday,; we read an j>art of the
head of one “Church Paper,* we in
stantly concluded it moat bo Our
Church rafter, but as it In not aura,
and having resolved not to be both
ered with |t, we at ooee enclosed it
in a wrapper, put a stamp on it, nod
seat it to the post office, directed to
New Market, Va.
We are! much obliged to tbo un
known friend who mailed it to as,
aud hope he will excuse our refusal
to benefit from bis kindness. The
first number only of Our Church Pa
per was apt ns; too late to begin
nowr. We have better things to at
tend to.

we thought duty to the church Booth
and tier preservation in' one body
imperatively demanded. And we
aiill believe ao. We fivel^ admit

that we do regret. We never w rote

that a fire daring tbe night of J«ty

8tores and five dwelling houses were
completely destroyed with their con

following lubscribers to the Fteefor;
