Editor State llighti Democrat t in your comment on my communica tion 1u last week's Democrat, you take exceptions to its spirit, ajid think I was unreasonably pafelonato, aud used lau guago unbecoming a minister. So fur from being in a" passion, I was sorry to sco such glaring misrepresentations of tho doctriuc and teachings of tho Church of which I am a humble member cominf? from oue I had considered a pcrmnal friend; and if I did uo the word "false," it was not in a spirit of crimination, but ns being the only word ia the English language which o oleariy expresses tho idea of something tho opposito of truth. My object in wri'ing the communica tion was not, as you suppose, to enter into a discussion or debate, for uothiu" could bo farther from my purpose, but simply to set my Christiau brethren and myself right beforo tho world, supposing that in oracr to nave tho erroneous impressions which your article couvoyed corrected, it would only be necessary to call your .ti...i:.,.. : i. uui-uuvni iu im luarcuracius. iui in IHI' I was mistaken. So fir from nttnmntimi . : I e to rcujovo any xaise impressions your article may have niado upon tho public mind, you rcitcrato your lurincr uufououed assertions. In tho first place, in relation to your declaration that Alexander Campbell was tho founder oi tho Christian Church. which I denied and challenged the proof, you say : "We could easily how, by un disputed authority, that our htatcmcnt is essentially correct. i ell, as ycu have failed to bring to light this " u'ldputed authority," which can be so readily ad duced, 1 but mmrm my former ucmal As proof of vour second statement, that we belierc 4,that when a man Hay, with the Eunuch, that he believes that Jesus is tho Christ, the &on of God, and wilt be baptized by immersion, ho U ou the road to Heaven," you quoto Campbell from he Harbinger, irom -his debate with McCalla, aud from the Christian liaptbt, vol. 5, p. 1G0.

I, therefore, leave it with the public to judge. The only proof ycu aduueo 10 support of your third ttatc meut, that kthey (the Christians) deny the power, efficacy and oflico work of the cpirit. and some go so far virtually as to to deny His existence, is that a certain sect called 'Stoneitcs," one of whose cardinal doctrines was the non-cxt- ence of the Holy Spirit, broke up their organization and united with th Chris tians. Now what docs this prove? Many infidels have, from time to time, united with the Church, but that does not prove that the Church teaches infidelity, From tha Albany Journal.

Had the . party remained united, as usual, he would have been . defeated ; if he had been defeated we should have had no Civil War; 500, 000 of the flower of our land would not now be sleeping the 6leep that knowa no waking ; the country would not now be filled with widows, and orphans, and maimed soldiers; ne groes would riot now be on a social equality with the, whites; the nation would' not : now be on the eve of another convulsion, nor would it be staggering under a load of public debt more gigantic than that of any other people on the face of the globe; While we hold, of course, that the Radicals are criminal beyond all computation for making a bad use of V the power placed in their hands, yet those Dem ocrats whobolted who refused to be governed by. the - timehonored rules and u iuges of the party are far from being blameless m this matter.

See ad, of their error, renounced their former doctrines. I think it fair to infer that when the "Stoncitc," who believed in the non-existence of the Holy Spirit, dis banded their society and united with an organization that believes in His exist, ence and teach His "power, efacaey and ofhee work, they renounced their for mer belief and became believers in the doctrines of the society with which they united. I believe it is not usual for a proselytor to teach tho doctrines of his proselytes, but tho reverse. In tho same connection you say that tho Christians ' boast that they have no creed, and m far as an unwritten one is concerned, this is true." The statement that we have no "tcntcrittCHr" creed, ol course, presupposes that we have a written one, and as I have been a minister in the Christian Church for many years, and have never seeo anything of the kind, you will confer a lavor by producing it. You state that you have never "said you would bo en tirely silent on religious topic. I not ask it of you. I am perfectly willing that you should speak in a proper man ner on any or all religious questions at your pleasure, and also watch preachers and "haul them over tho coals" when ever occasion demands it or the facts will justify you; but I deny your right to make any unprovoked attack upon a large body of innocent Christians and publish to the world false impressions of their re ligious belief. And now, sir, I have done. Havinf set these things before the public in a proper light, and (as I havo already stated) having no desire to enter into a discussion, 1 6hall here let tbo matter rest. I am sorry you havo seen fit to take the course you hate; but as it is so, although I cherish no feelings of ill-will towards you, yet I cannot further lend my support to one who will thus persist ently misrepresent my religion. Iam, therefore, compelled to take the course indicated by you, and henceforth our paths will diverge. II. M. Waller. Quotations op Gold. The quota- uons oi goia, as given oy tne money ar ticles of the newspapers, convey no fixed idea to the common mind. Ihomforraa tion needed is, irhat is a paper dollar worth ? The following will answer the question : When gold is quoted at $1.10. a paper aonar is worm m cents, nearly. When gold is quoted at $1.15, a paper aonar is wort n cents. When gold is quoted at $1.20, a paper aonar is wortn soj cents. When gold is quoted at $1.25, a paper dollar is worth bU cents. When gold is quoted at $1.30, a paper dollar is worth 70 cents. When gold is quoted at $1.35, a paper aonar is wortn 04 cents. When gold is quoted at $1.40, a paper dollar is worth 71 cents. When gold is quoted at $1.45, a paper aouar is wortn t cents When gold is quoted at $1.50, a paper aouaris worm wt cents. ju ma na Her. Ihe rule to find the value of greenbacks by gold quotations is to diyide 1.000 bylthe price of gold. Say gold is quoted at 1.40, then I,UUU divded by ;1-4U giyes the price ot greenbacks at 71 and a small frac tion. If gold is quoted at 1.35, Jwo pet greenbacks up to 74 and a fraction. So the value of gold and greenbacks can bp arrived at by dividing LQOO by the value of the currency. Say greenbacks are worth 75, then 1,000 divided by 75 gives S1..33J, the price pf gold.

The' Pawnees to the number of fifty hare had a 6;ht with the hostile Indians near Plum Creek. They took fifteen scalps and two prisoners, aud captured a large herd of stock. More than a mile of telegraph line is reported to be destroyed. Mr. Ward, the telegraph operator at Plum Creek, and five of his men, are reported missiDg, and great fears were entertained of their safety. The escort :fr6m Fort Mcpherson has not been able to get away. The Indians are now ia sight of Fort Mor gan. Parties on the plains say that sol diers were moving about the country in large bodies, with brass bands to notify and scare the Indians away, something ia the style of the Chinese fighting with gongs.
