As it.' passed along, poor old man was overcome by the labors and heat of the journey, and sinking down, was left to perish on tho road. The missionary saw him, and kneeling down at bis side, when the rest bad passed along, whispered into his ear, "Brother, what is your hope?" The dying roan raised himself a little to reply, and with great efTurt succeeded in answering, "The blood of Jesus Christ clcanseth from all sin," and immediately ex-pirad with the effort. The missionary was greatly astonished at the answer; and in the calm and peaceful appearance ol the man, he felt sure bo bad diod In tbrist. llow or where, be thought, could this man, seeming' y a heathen, bare got this hope? And as he thought of it, he observed a piece of paper grasped tightly in the hand of the corpse, which be succeeded in getting out.

On that pago the man bad found the gospel. Tholulianaand Victor Emanuel. The Jirow' Paris correspondent says: It is pretty certain that all the Italians are not overjoyed at the off hand manner in which the King of Sardinia is proceeding in his work of liberation, and accepting gifts of territory Irotn the hands of his Suzerain. There are many patr ots who have not cooperated in this work of Italian independence merely from the territorial aggrandisement ol Victor KtnanueL What they desire is independence, not only tf the Austrian or the French, but equally so of the Tiodniontese. They cry out against the sleight of hand theut'tiwiotue as they term it-by which Victor Emamuol in coolly taking possesion of Lombard: and I know of several Italians who leave Paris with the avowed object of resisting the invasion on the part of their Piedmon tese liberators. Their motto is Confederation, and not Fusion. The Lotnbardies will not bo Piedmontese any more than Tuscans, or Hodenese, or Parmesans, or Neapolitans, and it would not be surprising if civil war followed any attempts to force them into submission. : A Capital Move in the Game of war. The Philadelphia Tress says: ." " Tbat the game of War is a game of Chess, upon large scalo, was said by the Great Ka poleon. . It is quite true -that strategy avails as much as force, in campaign. The bead to plan is required as well as the hands to exe. cute. An bngluh paper says tbat Sir W U jiam Napier, the eminent Historian of the Peninsular War, who is now dangerously ill, and in an advanced period of life, had predicted some time ago, from a consideration of the condition of Italy and the comparative position of the co.tibatants, that the attack opon tho Austrian right, by which Garabaldi estab lished himself 1 J Lomberdy, and has cutoff his opponents from using the Splugen Pass, mat tla particular mow, in the great game of tear, tchick ihould be made tzaettyut Oievni tin.

That tho Papal power is to suffer much by it, no one can doubt Think of the Papal States being nearly surrounded by a country wbore, with a constitutional government, will roign freedom ol the press, freedom of speech, and lib erty of conscience! No frontier, nodoganiere can prever.t these influences from creeping in; the people of tbe Roman States will want to have what they see enjoyed ou their borders. Will the Pope grant it? then it will all Ve over with him. Refuse it? what will then become of him? Unless he is delivered from all the care of temporal government, which some think Napoleon, out ef pure love for bim and tbe Church quite disposed todo, great troubles are certainly awaiting him.

"How do you do, Mr. Brown?" 'Do what?" "No, no, how do you find yourself?" 'I never lose myself." Well, how have you been?" Been been where?" "Pahaw! how do you kel?" ' i "Feel ol me aad see." "Good morning, Mr. Smith. "If not a good morning it's wet and nas ty." And tbe parties separated. - A attaint writer eays. "I have seen women so delicate that they are afraid to ride, far fear of the horses running away; afraid to sail hr rear the boat might upset; and a Irani to wbik. for Icar the dew might fall; but I nevor saw one afraid to get uiarneJ." A notion soller was off ring Yankee clocks, finely varnished and colored, and witnaio.it-inr rlaad in front, to a lady not remarkable for personal beaulr. "Why. it's beautiful," said the vender. "Beautiful, indeed! A look at it almost friL-hiens me. said the lady., " 1 nen marm," tenlied Jonathan, "guess you'd better buy one that has got no looking glass." raxsiDRKTiAL. The Kansas Press, (Cottonwood, K. T.) concludes a leader declaring for Gov. Chase, in 18CC thus: MVa repeat, bad Fremont been out of the way in 1800, Gov. Chase would have been the Philadelphia nominee for President That he will not only bi nominated, but'slccied in lfiCO, we do not lelitctUia doubt," . . .' Coiiiimiiiifatioia Fur th Mt. Veriiou Itqiubllcan. Response to Rev. . Henry White-man. , Mr. Editor: As the "self respect" of Mr. Whiteman will not allow him to notice anything from me, unless! prove or retract my statements, and as he possesses an altogether original mode of disposing of proof, this article will probably olose the controversy. Still, I will kindly try to accommodate the gunllemau with proof, aud if his wounded self ruxpect should sufil- ciontly heal, he may be iuducud to take up his pen again, and in the eveuu of bis doing so, let me suggest to bim, that "hate tlunder" "false-hood" "inlamuus false-bood! are not the most gentlemanly terms to uso iu a controversy; and if they do not injure his "eel respect," so free a use of tbe in will add noth. ing to his own or tbe reputation of the "church of his choice," whilo they will not anger me in the least,uor preveut my holding bim steadily to the points iu dubate. I write not for Mr. W., I could have afforded to havo dismissed him after his first article, but 1 write for your reader. What, then, are tho real matters in dispute between us? . I have charged Bishop Janes with being a Southern man ia his feelings. Mr. White-man declares him a noble anti-slavery man. I had said the Arkansas Conference wore either slave-holders or the delondors of slave- holding. Mr. Whiteman declares them mag- naninuiue anti-elaoenj mat he knows them! These are the questions. 1 attempted to prove my positions. I stated that Bishop Janes was the southern candidate in 1841; that ho did not then, had not b'forc, has not since, put forth as tho product of his prolific pen, nor uttered with his lips, any manly protest against siaveholdfng in general, nor tbo slave-holding of the M.E.Church in particular; and called upou Bev.Mr. White-man, who has drawn Bishop Janes bofore tne public in this controversy, to point me to one sentence or line containing his anti-slavery views. Boas he deny these statements? Not all. Does he produce the quotation! No. It is easy for hint to talk shout lulschood. But he attempts to meet i t by a quibble that would wound tbo "self respect" of most men. Hear him: "So far . Mr. 11. is aware, Bishop Janes bas never written anything against slavobolding. And so far as I am aware, Mr. B. has never written anything against polygamy, and therefore be is in favor of it." Now il Mr.W.is not ashamod of such shutlling, he ought to be. He declared tbo Bishop a high minded anti-slavery man. and I asked him to point out one line from Bishop Jaues, proving what be stated was polygamy practiced in the church of my choice, as slave- holding is in the church of Mr. Wi choice, and I did not both write and speuk against it, he might declare me in favor uf polygamy. I quoted from Dr. McFerriu, Editor of the Xaehiiille Christian Adoocale, a statoment in letters addressed to Bishop Morris tbu the and Bishop Janes, bnd, to his certain bwwfom'sr- daincd slave-holders. :-:J ? How docs Mr. Whiteman meet that? Whv he first inquires if I bring any proof that sky M. E. Preacher ever admitted the truth 01 those statements'. Proof that they admit the truth ol theso statements! What does be mean? Have they ever been denied? Does he believe Dr. F. lied? Were they over denied by editors of the M. E. papers North? Has Bishop Janes or Morris cvor denied tbem? Wbv don't they? I!eoaue they know them true; and after all, Mr. W. says h does not doubt their truth; and I challongo him to stake this question upon the truth or untruth of those statements. Who is Dr. McFerrin? Ho is a southern man and a stave-holder, I presume, but ho is a literary gentleman, and in no sense an "apostate from the M. E. Church;" the onlj ground for s jell a chargo, being the fact, that when the General Conference of 1814, drew up apian dividing lie church into the M. E. church, and the M. E. Church South, he went, from locality and inclination, with the Souibern Church. What will your readors think of the recklessness of Mr. W. who calls Dr. F. "an apostate" for such a cause snd then talks about defaming men. Nor was the church divided on the question of the right or icrong of slave-holding but tho etjieJ ieiuy of a Bishop's holding slave, elava-holders remain ing In the M. E. Church after the division just as before. After tho division, J. P. Durbin, J. Kenne dy, Ignatius T. Cooper, W. IL Guilden, Jo seph Castles, a committee from the I'biliadel-nhia Conference, prepared an addiesai to tho elave-holding porta of tba committee, tbe por tions in slsvo territory, in which Vtey declare it is a standing qneslion of the Conference. "Are you an Ahnlitionietf" and unless an-sweted in the negative, no one could be re-etivod. - .-And they Say in addition, "it Is proper tbat we remind you of the fact, that the provisions of tha desciline of tie M. E. Chureh.aod of tho M. E Church South, are precisely the name, even to the very word. We cannot, ' therefore, see bow we can be regarded as abolitionists without the M. . Church South being considered in tbe same light." Wel- mlngton, Del., April 7, 1B7. " ' Mr. W.professes to be filled with indignaUon at the slander found in the rtat 'inettt that there is any snob question, but I found it in real report, signed by these gentlemen, and adopted by the conference, and unless Mr. W- u ignorant ol the queatiosa be ia diarussipgb knows It Why the a bint tbat 1 am a slanderer when 1 simply quote it. And now, let me return one more to the L :.. C I J. I, i . . ...S. r. : L character oi tue siikauww wuMjwnias, Mr reaaoning was this. All tho more northern conferences, having slave territoty, admit slaveholders, so that there are prJvala , memberiv. clBas-leaders, stewards, and Eldiri, who hold slaves, and, therefore, it is 'ajr to infer tbat the Arkansas Conference does tl a same. Dr. J.. T. Cooper, of the rhi'ilelphia Conference, a great Opponent of abolitionists, has declared (hat, there ore not male mem-hers enough, In that part of the Conference) embraced in. Maryland, not slaveholders, to constitute O.Ticial Boards iV the church. In answor to a note addressed to an M. E. Minister of extensive information, I have just received the following. Tbe Arkansas Conference receives slaveholders. This none will deny unless ignorant. 2d. They . e. the Preachers ore auti-slavery men, just as a rumscller and rany drinker Is a temperance roan.and in no otherwise, t have one other witress a cultivated gentloman, now a member of the N. E. Conference of the M. E. Church, who spent six months traveling through these Conferences, the Missouri and Arkansas included, to ascertain the facts Rev. H.C. Atwater. Hesayi in Zion's HoraTdV ,, , "I traveled extensively ia Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and Virginia, and the result of that thorough examination was, that. I found no Methodists more intenselypro-slavery in Alabama, Louisiana, or in any of the 'fire eating" ports of tho South, than I found tho members of tbe mission churches to be, in the Border Conferences. ( They utterly reject the name of abolitionists or of having any sympathy with the anti-eluitery wM&ucnt in Out freeSOilee." "It matters pot how many slaves a mau owns, it is no objection to his becoming member of those mission churches." , ;l Again he says: "I wish that there was autre proof that they are the vanguard of freedom's army; but alas! on tbe contrary, they most inequivocally rind categorically deny" the charge that any antislavery blood is in their voins, or that any action of the General Conference can be printed out. to prove that the church North is abnlitinnized. They toll them, truly, that the division in 1844 did not turn upon the binge of the slaveholding, but on the minor, and nonessential point, whether a bishop might hold slaves." This quota tion is from a letter sddressed to Dr. Haven, Editor of Zions Herald, Boston. The same gentleman in a letter to Rev. H. Matteson, a member of the last Goncral Conference, states tbat he demoiutated the follow ing adj. ' ' e 1. Tint the M. E. Church North, in tho slaveholding States, and in the mission Con ferences referred to (including the Arkansas) both as to ministers and nn-rultiT$, were ae strongly pro-slnvery,as the AT. E. diurth South, ' Both with equal sensitiveness, repudiate the idea of being abolitionists, or having any sympathy with an abolition church, or of de- ,iring to have the sluee enjoy liberty." . 'Second, The fact of owning slaves, of living on unrequited toil, is not the sUtjIdetl bar to membership in the mission churches." Thus testifies Rev. Mr. Atwster. Now, hers is tbe testimony of a minister of high standing in the M.E: Conference, no apostate-who has visited and inspected for himself, and be dec'arcs the Arkansas Conference just as pro-slavery as any In the Church South. Mr. W, drin cry fnhehooil, base slander, hut how can he disposo of this witness? 1 wish his "alf suspect" would allow him to try. , One of thi most cute dodges ever practised, is constantly resorted to. When tbe Church wai uivided, the M. E.' Church agreed, by the terms of the division; not to go ipto the tcritory of the Church South. But this tbey soon violated. The S;uth, in order to raise prejudice against them, charged them with being abdilionista which they, at once, and constantly deny. This charge, ministers ia the North quote, to make their people and the pulilic believe their church anti-slavery in the South, keeping out C f sight, the fact that the charge is denied by tho very men in whose behalf they quote it. Whether such aconrse is high minded others may judge.but let mo not be understood as charging it upon all the M. E. Ministers some are above it,anl of that class is Mr. Atwster, Iron, whom I have quoted iu this aiticlo. Honor to all such. " . 1. :. .,, Mr. Editor: there are a few things I wish to .notice in Mr. W'slsxt article, that I have been obliged to omi' in this reply. I may, tho re-fore, write again. Allow one more r-uiark.

As it.' passed along, poor old man was overcome by the labors and heat of the journey, and sinking down, was left to perish on tho road. The missionary saw him, and kneeling down at bis side, when the rest bad passed along, whispered into his ear, "Brother, what is your hope?" The dying roan raised himself a little to reply, and with great efTurt succeeded in answering, "The blood of Jesus Christ clcanseth from all sin" and immediately ex-pirad with the effort. The missionary was greatly astonished at the answer; and in the calm and peaceful appearance ol the man, he felt sure bo bad diod In tbrist. llow or where, be thought, could this man, seeming' y a heathen, bare got this hope?

Veriiou Itqiubllcan. Response to Rev. . Henry White-man. , Mr. Editor: As the "self respect" of Mr. Whiteman will not allow him to notice anything from me, unless! prove or retract my statements, and as he possesses an altogether original mode of disposing of proof, this article will probably olose the controversy. Still, I will kindly try to accommodate the gunllemau with proof, aud if his wounded self ruxpect should sufil- ciontly heal, he may be iuducud to take up his pen again, and in the eveuu of bis doing so, let me suggest to bim, that "hate tlunder" "false-hood" "inlamuus false-bood! are not the most gentlemanly terms to uso iu a controversy; and if they do not injure his "eel respect" so free a use of tbe in will add noth. ing to his own or tbe reputation of the "church of his choice" whilo they will not anger me in the least,uor preveut my holding bim steadily to the points iu dubate. I write not for Mr. W., I could have afforded to havo dismissed him after his first article, but 1 write for your reader. What, then, are tho real matters in dispute between us? . I have charged Bishop Janes with being a Southern man ia his feelings. Mr. White-man declares him a noble anti-slavery man. I had said the Arkansas Conference wore either slave-holders or the delondors of slave- holding. Mr. Whiteman declares them mag- naninuiue anti-elaoenj mat he knows them! These are the questions. 1 attempted to prove my positions. I stated that Bishop Janes was the southern candidate in 1841; that ho did not then, had not b'forc, has not since, put forth as tho product of his prolific pen, nor uttered with his lips, any manly protest against siaveholdfng in general, nor tbo slave-holding of the M.E.Church in particular; and called upou Bev.Mr. White-man, who has drawn Bishop Janes bofore tne public in this controversy, to point me to one sentence or line containing his anti-slavery views. Boas he deny these statements? Not all. Does he produce the quotation! No. It is easy for hint to talk shout lulschood. But he attempts to meet i t by a quibble that would wound tbo "self respect" of most men. Hear him: "So far . Mr. 11. is aware, Bishop Janes bas never written anything against slavobolding. And so far as I am aware, Mr. B. has never written anything against polygamy, and therefore be is in favor of it." Now il Mr.W.is not ashamod of such shutlling, he ought to be. He declared tbo Bishop a high minded anti-slavery man. and I asked him to point out one line from Bishop Jaues, proving what be stated was polygamy practiced in the church of my choice, as slave- holding is in the church of Mr. Wi choice, and I did not both write and speuk against it, he might declare me in favor uf polygamy. I quoted from Dr. McFerriu, Editor of the Xaehiiille Christian Adoocale, a statoment in letters addressed to Bishop Morris tbu the and Bishop Janes, bnd, to his certain bwwfom'sr- daincd slave-holders. :-:J ? How docs Mr. Whiteman meet that? Whv he first inquires if I bring any proof that sky M. E. Preacher ever admitted the truth 01 those statements'. Proof that they admit the truth ol theso statements! What does be mean? Have they ever been denied? Does he believe Dr. F. lied? Were they over denied by editors of the M. E. papers North? Has Bishop Janes or Morris cvor denied tbem? Wbv don't they? I!eoaue they know them true; and after all, Mr. W. says h does not doubt their truth; and I challongo him to stake this question upon the truth or untruth of those statements. Who is Dr. McFerrin? Ho is a southern man and a stave-holder, I presume, but ho is a literary gentleman, and in no sense an "apostate from the M. E. Church;" the onlj ground for s jell a chargo, being the fact, that when the General Conference of 1814, drew up apian dividing lie church into the M. E. church, and the M. E. Church South, he went, from locality and inclination, with the Souibern Church. What will your readors think of the recklessness of Mr. W. who calls Dr. F. "an apostate" for such a cause snd then talks about defaming men. Nor was the church divided on the question of the right or icrong of slave-holding but tho etjieJ ieiuy of a Bishop's holding slave, elava-holders remain ing In the M. E. Church after the division just as before. After tho division, J. P. Durbin, J. Kenne dy, Ignatius T. Cooper, W. IL Guilden, Jo seph Castles, a committee from the I'biliadel-nhia Conference, prepared an addiesai to tho elave-holding porta of tba committee, tbe por tions in slsvo territory, in which Vtey declare it is a standing qneslion of the Conference. "Are you an Ahnlitionietf" and unless an-sweted in the negative, no one could be re-etivod. - .-And they Say in addition, "it Is proper tbat we remind you of the fact, that the provisions of tha desciline of tie M. E. Chureh.aod of tho M. E Church South, are precisely the name, even to the very word. We cannot, ' therefore, see bow we can be regarded as abolitionists without the M. . Church South being considered in tbe same light." Wel- mlngton, Del., April 7, 1B7. " ' Mr. W.professes to be filled with indignaUon at the slander found in the rtat 'inettt that there is any snob question, but I found it in real report, signed by these gentlemen, and adopted by the conference, and unless Mr. W- u ignorant ol the queatiosa be ia diarussipgb knows It Why the a bint tbat 1 am a slanderer when 1 simply quote it. And now, let me return one more to the L :.. C I J. I, i . . ...S. r. : L character oi tue siikauww wuMjwnias, Mr reaaoning was this. All tho more northern conferences, having slave territoty, admit slaveholders, so that there are prJvala , memberiv. clBas-leaders, stewards, and Eldiri, who hold slaves, and, therefore, it is 'ajr to infer tbat the Arkansas Conference does tl a same. Dr. J.. T. Cooper, of the rhi'ilelphia Conference, a great Opponent of abolitionists, has declared (hat, there ore not male mem-hers enough, In that part of the Conference) embraced in. Maryland, not slaveholders, to constitute O.Ticial Boards iV the church. In answor to a note addressed to an M. E. Minister of extensive information, I have just received the following. Tbe Arkansas Conference receives slaveholders. This none will deny unless ignorant. 2d. They . e. the Preachers ore auti-slavery men, just as a rumscller and rany drinker Is a temperance roan.and in no otherwise, t have one other witress a cultivated gentloman, now a member of the N. E. Conference of the M. E. Church, who spent six months traveling through these Conferences, the Missouri and Arkansas included, to ascertain the facts Rev. H.C. Atwater. Hesayi in Zion's HoraTdV ,, , "I traveled extensively ia Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and Virginia, and the result of that thorough examination was, that. I found no Methodists more intenselypro-slavery in Alabama, Louisiana, or in any of the 'fire eating" ports of tho South, than I found tho members of tbe mission churches to be, in the Border Conferences. ( They utterly reject the name of abolitionists or of having any sympathy with the anti-eluitery wM&ucnt in Out freeSOilee." "It matters pot how many slaves a mau owns, it is no objection to his becoming member of those mission churches." , ;l Again he says: "I wish that there was autre proof that they are the vanguard of freedom's army; but alas! on tbe contrary, they most inequivocally rind categorically deny" the charge that any antislavery blood is in their voins, or that any action of the General Conference can be printed out. to prove that the church North is abnlitinnized. They toll them, truly, that the division in 1844 did not turn upon the binge of the slaveholding, but on the minor, and nonessential point, whether a bishop might hold slaves." This quota tion is from a letter sddressed to Dr. Haven, Editor of Zions Herald, Boston. The same gentleman in a letter to Rev. H. Matteson, a member of the last Goncral Conference, states tbat he demoiutated the follow ing adj. ' ' e 1. Tint the M. E. Church North, in tho slaveholding States, and in the mission Con ferences referred to (including the Arkansas) both as to ministers and nn-rultiT$, were ae strongly pro-slnvery,as the AT. E. diurth South, ' Both with equal sensitiveness, repudiate the idea of being abolitionists, or having any sympathy with an abolition church, or of de- ,iring to have the sluee enjoy liberty." . 'Second, The fact of owning slaves, of living on unrequited toil, is not the sUtjIdetl bar to membership in the mission churches." Thus testifies Rev. Mr. Atwster. Now, hers is tbe testimony of a minister of high standing in the M.E: Conference, no apostate-who has visited and inspected for himself, and be dec'arcs the Arkansas Conference just as pro-slavery as any In the Church South. Mr. W, drin cry fnhehooil, base slander, hut how can he disposo of this witness? 1 wish his "alf suspect" would allow him to try. , One of thi most cute dodges ever practised, is constantly resorted to. When tbe Church wai uivided, the M. E.' Church agreed, by the terms of the division; not to go ipto the tcritory of the Church South. But this tbey soon violated. The S;uth, in order to raise prejudice against them, charged them with being abdilionista which they, at once, and constantly deny. This charge, ministers ia the North quote, to make their people and the pulilic believe their church anti-slavery in the South, keeping out C f sight, the fact that the charge is denied by tho very men in whose behalf they quote it. Whether such aconrse is high minded others may judge.but let mo not be understood as charging it upon all the M. E.
