THS CttlJIE OF TE.lCni;yG-A LADt REFUSED " '." BAPTISM The Walnut street Baptist Church is one of the famed institutions of . Lonia- villo Tvv.

' For the last three months this church has been enlarging its bor ders misrhtil y. A constaut revival has been in progress, with success so re rri irkable that it seemed as if the wick edness of the wicked in that city would certauily come to an end very soon, a few evenings since, among a little com- 0 . iJ rlauy that called upon the past.r or uie Walnut street Baptist Ulmrcn, rvev. Geo. O. Lariner, to express their desire to unite with said church, was a young ioAir rnhn fnr snmn time PUSt. ll.'lS en- I gaged in teaching a frucdmen's school in T.nnisv Uie. She is of one excellent Qnakfii- family in Pennsylvania, and was formerly a teacher in the State 1 School of that State. She is a Christian lady of culture, refinement, and unusual intelligence. Some three years ago she sought and obtained a position as teacher of freed men, because she conscientiously thought she could be of more service to the CJhnstian cause in that capacity than in any other. Having given the pastor a history of her religious experience, she was cor dially welcomed. But the man of the Lord had not yet found out that she was teaching a nigger school,' and so when that fact came to his virtuous ear, lie was of course startled, and felt it his duty to counsel the officers of the church before proceeding any turther in the matter. This was accordingly done, and twice putting off the young lady Without an answer, after some pernio xity and trouble of spirit, during which lime a baptismal robe had been sent her, and all the necessary arrangements made for her baptism the following Sabbath, these holy men informed her that they, could not receive her. :so reason was given none could have been given for their action except the Fact that she had taught a freedmen's BchooL POES A DISSEVERED 1IE1D RETAIY SEN SIBILITY, . lhe .British Jiedicai Journal says: much has been written and man v con flicting opinions expressed as to wheth-1 er the head after decapitation retains any sensibility, and the question has been revived, in Paris apropos of Le isures execution. JM. Homiatont gives the following account of an experiment on the dissevered heads of two Arabs, Which will probably set the question at rest, lie says : " 1 was in Algiers in 1833 where I met with a military sur geon, M. de Fallois, who asked me what 1 thought of the assertion of Dr. Wil son, of New York, that a dissevered head retaind its sensibility for two or three minutes. I maintained the impos sibility .of the asserted fact on physiolo- meal grounds ; but M. de allois re mained unconvinced. I heard that on the following day two Arabs were to be beheaded, and obtained leave to make sonie conslusive experiments on the sub jects. ' For this purpose I had placed on the execution ground a small low table, on which was placed a large shallow v ise nearly filled with powdered plaster. I then went to the place of execution, provided with a small ear trumpet and a very sharp lancet. It had been agreed that the charus should place the bead. immediately alter it was cut on, upon the plaster of paris, so as to stop the hemorrhage, m. Fallois was to speak zo tne urst need by name, placing the ear trumpet to the ear, whilst I-examin-' ed what occurred in the eyes and the other features. This was done; but notwithstanding all the shouts into the arI5ou1d not perceive the slightest signs oi me. ihe eyes remained glas sy -and motionless ; the face discolored. The muscles gave scarcely any sign of contraction under the influence of the Ianoet.

He says "It left alone the negro will act in harmony with his master ; every day by means of this radical agitation the negro will be dess and less under the influence of his true friends and neio-h- bors. At present, out of the towns and villages, the negro cares nothing about ms ngnt oi sum-age, and knows noth ing. Unless influenced by bad men he will not trouble himself to register or vote. This, however, will not always be the case. . If, therefore, we are wise in the coming election, true to our selves, and have, the true interests of the negro-at heart, we may defeat the call of a convention, and save the State from radicalism-and agrariauism, and a war oi races m-the tuture." Here is disclosed the clearly defined purpose of the rebel leaders to oppose jeuuuBu uuliv" unuer laws ot Congress relying solely upon the ignorance of the' negro in the rural districts for the pow er with which to defeat a convention. This is precisely .the fact to which we have called .attention repeatedly; and to overcome the obstacle we have propos es wgauizauon snrougnout the South stating distinctly that it was only in the -cities and towns that t.h m.0 were informed. The warning we have so often repeat ed has .to a large extent passed unheed ed ny tjie Jttepublican party. But now that -the: plan, is disclosed by the con- fession of a leading and obstinate rebel it 15 hoped that the warning will be ef- iective. Speeches .and documents for the South are well.: they will do good: but they .are useless for any practical rosRlt nlesg preceded by organization. And t.Vnn nrmn: P i T ' ? X must oeso gene Tfi-Xo include the masses of the peo- pe iu town and country. Anything Jess will leave the rebel leaders in con roI just as Governor Perry says. The Jiepubheans must recognize the fact that the reconstruction laws are td'ope- rate upon more k..i,.lf a mil inn or" uiau uo" ""f uninformed voters and- that unless those voters are informed they will certainly become the sport and tools of their masters,' as claimed by Governor Perry. Organization then, general ana I . . r . 1. When tnorougn, is uie un u,, I unit is auuuiiifuoupu n nm ie easy to instruct. Intelligence to some extent must precede reconstruction ; or, as Governor Perry desires, ignorance must be permitted to defeat reconstruction. The Republicans can take their choice. The Governor is still harping upon the war of races, and proposes to keep the negro in ignorance of his rights to pre vent such war. This in our judgment is the only sure way to produce such war. Inform the negro of his rights, and see to it that he is not prevented their enjoyment, and the cause of war on his part will be removed. It is to obtain right that men usually go to war. The rebels, however went to Avar to lose theirs, and they are now anx ious to have the negro commit the sameb lunder. Great Republic. ORDER OF REGISTRATION BY GES. SCIIO FIELD. Riciimoxd, June 3.

After which the committee reported the fol lowing preamble and resolutions which was unanimously adopted : Whereas, An awful crisis of affairs has arrived in our country, many of our public men having long since turned traitors to the government, and in addition to the general devastation which they have already brought upon us, they are determined, it seems from their present course, to sink the country deeper into ruin, destruction and despair ; and whereas, nothing short of the most powerful, prompt and vigorous exertions of the men of the great National Republican Union party can avert the impending storm can save us from unutterable and irretrieva ble ruin ; therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the highest and most solemn duty of every patriot, of every Union loving man the State over, to arouse himself and buckle on the armor of truth and justice, and make one mighty, one powerful effort to redeem his country "from the very jaws of oppression, and place North Carolina once more in the glorious old Union upon a safe, a firm and lasting foundation.

Resolved, That it is disheartening and hard for us as Union men to be taxed and oppressed to keep in existence a disaffected State government through which traitors and disloyal persons are permitted to and do rule over us, throwing at the same time every conceivable obstacle and obstruction iu the way of reconstruction which the in genuity of the ignoble brain can invent. Resolved, That we favor and do recom mend that a system of free schools for the benefit of all children without regard to race or color, should be guaranteed by con stitutional and legal form.

That we protest against tue con tinuance in power of the present rebel State organization which taxes the people, and is a burden upon their shoulder without cor responding benefit, and whose officers are rolling in luxury, while the masses of our loyal citizens are almost reduced to beggary or starvation. Resolved, That it is the sense of this meet ing should Gen. Sickles use the power given him by Congress in the reconstruction act, to remove the present rebel State organiza tion and place the civil powers of the State in the hands of loyal men oaly, as it would enable the truly loyal vctera of the State to carry out effectively the Congressional plan within the meaning of the reconstruction act.

The President's Movements, and the Movements ef other People. On Monday evening a large concourse of the citizens of Raleigh assembled at the Depot to see President Johnson, who was expected by the Northern train. This large and respectable assembly was more than two-thirds composed of colored citizens the other third being made up of military, State and municipal authorities, aud white citizens. A company of the 8th U. S". Infantry, a squadron of Cavalry and the band of the 40th regiment were drawn up as military escort. We observed that Gen. Sickles, Gen. Miles, Gen. Avera, Col. Bomford and other distinguished officers, and Gov. Worth, ! Ex-Goveruors Graham, Swain, Manly, and Bragg, Judge Reade, B. F. Moore, Esq., and Mayor Haywood, were present on the occasion. When the train arrived, there wa3 some excitement manifested ; and. when the Presi dent was escorted from the car to the pres ence of Gen. Sickles, Gov. Worth and others, one little boy in a tree hallooed three cheers for Johnson. This was faintly responded to, and that was all the cheering done for the next hour. Mayor Haywood now tendered thc hospi talities of the City in a brief address, when Pres. Johnson replied, returning his thanks and expressing his gratification at the kindness of the citizens of his native town, who had known him longest and best and who thus honored him. In the meanwhile some that were present pumped the Presidential elbow vigorously, hobnobbed with Mr. Seward and tickled Sec. Randall under the short ribs. Here was harmony, reconciliation, my policy, &c. &c, illustrated and expounded. We further observed that the colored people stood afar oft and said nothing. These observations were cut short by a nioyemcnt towards the carriages,-when The President, Mayor Haywood, Sec. Seward and Gov. Worth being seated in an open vehicle, the others leing accommodated and the military procession formed, the whole moved up to Hillsboro street and thence around the Northside of Capitol sqnare, to Fayetteville st., and the Yarboro House. We observed on the.e streets some cold demonstrations of welcome and a great deal of curiosity. Pres. Johnson kept bowing at imaginary individuals, who were waving star spangled banners, cheering enthusiasti cally, and blockading every avenue and door way. We saw some hat3 lifted and hand kerchiefs waved, but beyond that there were no demonstrations of joy all the gazing and crowd-gathering proceeded from mere curiosity. When the distinguished guests alighted at the Yarborough House, a large audience of the colored people and male white citizens assembled and stood in silence for the space of half an hour. Then the door of the Presi ilent's room opened, and a little colored boy jumped out on the balcony to see if it was staunch, and none of the timbers sawed in twain. Then Gov. Worth, with a crooked bandied hickory stick,and the President ap peared lor a moment in the door, when a slim shout arose from the crowd, and two or three called out u speech from Johnson." A few moments afterwards the President and Governor reappeared, when the latter introduced Mr. Johnson in a broken address of about five minutes, in which he expressed the opinion that everybody was now a Un on man. After beating the railing once or twice in a nervous manner, with his crooked handled hickory stick aforesaid, he stepped to the rear, and Mr. Johnson began to speak, evidently op pressed by the cold bath, of Gov. Worth's el oquence, which chilled as it fell in crystalli zed syllables. The President returned his thanks for thi3 reception by his native city; he said that he could not' affect indifference amid the scenes of his boyhood. Where were the triends of his childhood ? Echo answered where are they. Forty one years ago, poor and penniless, he had left the City of Raleigh to make his way in the world. It was for others to judge if he had succeeded. But he had ever loved his na tive State, and though she had not been to him a cheriahiBg mother, vnevertheless she was his mother. He would not discuss po litical matters, but invoked all men to stand by the Union' and the Constitution. Throughout bis life he had followed such principles only.- He further addressed the young men of the City and bade them labor to m ake themselves men of learning, distinc tion and power. . . ... : nnl nn... 1 -.

Rn speaking now where he could not have Spo ken in times past ; it was not his fault then and if it so happened again, it would nou' his fault the next time. He expressed ki 1 feelings towards all, and retired amid u,n"u applause. Post Master General Randall was nejt called out. Mr. R. eulogized Preset Johnson, encouraged other young men t0 persevere as he had done, &a, and nfter clo sing, Gen. Sickles, being invited by the crowd came forward. Gen. S. thanked the citi zens for their good conduct, and assured th President that order reigned throughout North-Carolina. AH these addresses were frequently an 'plaudefl. The meeting then dispersed. Durin the evening the band of the 40th Infantry (s coursed Kweet music. The accommodations of Mr. Blair for the distinguished guests were of the first order and the street in front ot the hotel wa3 g0! riously overshadowed by the folds of a large and beautiful national banner. The military in attendance enlivened the scene, and by their pleasing nrannersand martial bearing gave unusual zest to the oc casion. Mr. Johnson appeared to be in good health. He i3 a man of great physical pow er his mental abilities are known to all. The party accompanying the President consisted, in addition to the Secretary ot State and the Postmaster Genera), of Col William J. Moore, hi Private Secretary General R. O. Tyler, Chief Quartermaster of the District ; Basil Morris, Surgeon United States army ; W. S. Mitchell, Usher at the White House; Col. J. R. O'Brien, United States army; and Colonel A. H. Seward, United States army, son of the Secretary. Messrs. C. A. Gobright and George Mat tingly rl the Associated Press; Messrs. Fair field, of the New York Herald, and Ed. Brooks, of the New York Time, are in the City. The President's daughter, Mrs. Stover, contrary to expectation, did not accompany her father. On Tuesday, ihe President gave a public reception in the Common's Hall. Hundreds- of people, white and black, passed in, shook his hands, then those of the two Secretaries and passed out in an orderly manner. Gen. Sickles and the military were still in attendance. But few of the aforetime uppertendom of this aristocratical City came to grasp the tail or boy's hand. Only the friends or the descen dants of the friends of his childhood came. Those who would have crushed through a thousand in the attempt to reach the hand of Jefferson Davisj " our " President, were not there. On the whole we think it was proper that they stayed" away. we applaud their sincerity we do not complain only ifc is a fact, and we note it as such. At 11 o'clock, the President and his suite,, with the Commanding General and staff, the State and municipal authorities, and Gov.. Swain, orator of the day, repaired: to-the City Cemetary. Here a large audience was assembled, a stand had been erected, and the monument to. Jacob Johnson, the father of the President,, stood. Of sand stone, with neat inscription; and but little ornament, it was in keeping with the character of the man it was intend ed to commemorate. The President and party being seated, the the exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Mason; then the cap was placed on the monument, and Gov. Swain deliver ed an address, after which benedictiou was pronounced and the President returned to the Yarborough House. Here at 3 o'clock a splenfrid dinner was served by Mr. Blair. The President' was seated at the tablfe-with- Secreta-rie Seward and Randall, and Gov. Worth, Gen. Sickles and others. la the afternoon? the- party visited the Asylums, in the City and vicinity, and Pres. Johnson took supper with Mr. James Iitcu fbrd, an old acquaintance of many year's standing.

We trust that Republican Newbern may come to see us at Raleigh over and often. Mr. J. H.
