Editor ; I desire to ay n few words to the topic of Oregon through your press in regard to tho principle and rules of the Southern Methodist Church. lTp to the present time there ha been ao organization of the Southern Cliurvh in this Ter ritory (now State), yet there have been, fur yenrs, lam lo!d, many individuals dispersed over the oooatry who were once members of heruominuu ie, ind earnestly desire to bu so again. But the Introduction of the Southern Omreh into thi (tat ha been, and is, strongly opposed by our dc Bominational enemies, and many evil tiling have bee laid again! us, in order to prejudice the pub lic mud against us, and prevent, if possible, our ur gaolzation here. But lis s opposition only increases too oecenlty for the organization, as it necessarily licnate the afleelions of our people from the other branch of the church put uu end to Christian Mktwthip, ami miikcs it absolutely lieeessurv that Km Souifieri Methodists should have n church of weir own, or leave the Suite, or remain out of the osmroli. A we live in a free country, whose glorious constitution guarantee the rime religious privilege to all, we feel under no obligation either M leave the State or to bo controlled by the relig ion dictation of other. We claim the rit;ht to think and act for ourselves, while we obey the laws (our country and lhenian.lateofour(oi. As much that is false has been published against at in the Pacifio Christian Advocate, I bei leave bora to atatc the true position of the Methodist Kpiscopd Church South touching those thiiign wberaiu we difllr from the other brunch of the M. 8. Church. . J. The M. E. Church South holds Hint the ckarch of Christ i purely a religious ho ly, orfjan read for religious purine alnue, and therefore ha o authority from Christ or his apostles to entcr taia, discuss, or meddle with any question of State, or political question whatever. , i. The Southern Church further holds that the qoastion of !avery, as it exist iu Iho Southern titatrs ii, in fact, a State question, controllable only by civil law, and, therefore, not a church question at all ; and that the church, us such, has no author ity to legislate upon it, nud that to do so is to violate Ilia order of Christ. See 1 T,m. vi. I., dto. S. The work of the church, as such, beins pure ly religious, mid her coinm asiuu at wide as thew' world, il is her duty to preach the iroel in its ful'nesaA K ali classes, alike to the dew and to the Gentile U the bond and the free; nnd she c iunot be inno osot in the sight of herGre.it Master, if, in her felly, (he hedge up her own w.iy of usefulness iu regard to any one of these classes. 4. The M. Ii. Church did, a early m the year 178 1, iutroduco into her Discipline rules and regu lation directly interfering with the civil relations a matter aim slave, nntuonistia to the Constitu tion of these L'nited States, nnd of the slavo States ladividually, and huve from time to time since that period, both in the aumiul and pnnenil confer Oces, passed similar rendu tioni, by which the sjaaceniid harmony of the church has been greatly disturbed, nud her usefulness in tlio South greatly abridged ; so that an absolute neoessily has b.en thereby created, and is still maintained, for a di vision of the church into North und South, so that too southern portion might pursue its own legiti mate work of saving soul without hinderance. 6. In the general conference of 1841, he'd iifl th city of New York, and composed of lawful delegates from all the annual .conference North aad South, after a fruitless effort to dispose of the alavery question, the Southern delegate asked, as a favor, to be set off to themselves in a separate goneral conference. This was finally agreed to, aad a " Plan of Separation" waa drawn up and ' adopted by a large majority of tho whole general conference. Thi " Plan of Separation" give the church, South, equal r flits and privilege with the Church North, and under it the Southern Church wa fully organized in 1846, and lis been in uc aaasful operation ever since. Her way has been pen to give the gospel to the Southern slaves as it aovsr was before since the first introduction of aaa'-alavery rule into her Discipline : and lain shod of thousand of them have b.en hopefully averted to God through her imtrumentulity.

The melt inside of the circles rose up, but instant ly fell dead or mortally wounded under the fire of the wretches who so cruelly sought their lives. Nothing remained to bo done, except to kill the frightened females and their innocent children clasped in their arms. Others clung with desperation to their bleed ing, dying husbands, pleading in vain for mercy at the hands of tho " Christians" who controlled the no more savage Iudinn as sailants. John D.

No one form an idea of the terrible ef fects of this storm, which lasted but fivo minutes, with little rain.

The house of Mr. Barnabas Barrows was destroyed, and it is said two of bis children are missing. The bouse of Mr. Jesse Henry wos also blown down.

Prof. Turner expresses his views freely, deeming it a " great pity" that Mr. Rich mond's challcngo "should stand before the people of Illinois for some twelvo years, aud that at last he should be driven to go out of the State, nwuy down to New York, for a competitor." Mr. Richmond, it will be remembered, unsuccesslully challenged the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.

A Shot in the Flock. We wonder if the following Paixhan shot, from the " Notes from the Plymouth Pulpit," by Henry Word Beecher, hits anybody in all this region round about? We hope not. Beecher said: " There are sitting before me, in this congregation, now two hundred men, who j stun tlieir Sundays mil or what they call religion, and then go out on Mondays to catch their brother by the throat, saying: " Pay mo that thou owest; it's Monday now, and you needn't think that because we sat crying together yesterday over our Savior's sufferings and love, that I am going to let you off from that debt, if it docs ruin you to pay it now.'" which ho traces for tho policy of France, it will be the first great redeeming feuture in his career.
