A TELEGRAPHIC dispatch from ST'
Louis announcing that Bishop Cull
NEY, in a sermon pr.ached on Sunday
list. in that -city, had said, Rev. STE
HIEN H. Trso. Jr., of New York, ,was
"in hearty sympathy with the
formed Episcopal Church movement,"
'has created 'quite a stir among the
members of the Episcopal ettureb iu
the latter place. A reporter of the
Times called upon Rev. Mr. TYNCI to
obtain moboration or refuta
tion of the correctness of Bishop
CHENEY'S assertion. Mr. TYNG was
at the fair in aid of the fund for
his new church edifice, and wag, of
course, somewhat busily, engaged by
the 11[111(404 of persons at .the fair
who had something, to. Bart() their
pa.itor, but so far as circumstances
would permit at the _time‘lie Very,
readily explained his position. When
asked concerning _tiro accuracy of the
Bishop's annouucement, he replied:
" Well, sir, the ti,siop is quite right;
he is perfectly correct in his state
ment. He a4ys I am in syMpathy
with the movement, and so I am. I
am in syMpathy with it precisely as I
am in sympathy with every Christian
Church movement throrighoul the.
world Bishop CHENEY is a very dear
friend of mine, and. I have watched
he , movement in which ho is engaged
with a great deal of interest. I gyrn
pathize with the ruovetnent -because
lie is a friend of mine; and becaus,,
I Juive many friends in the meve
rut-nt who are good Christian people."
To a suggestion ( of :the reporter
that i people generally ;did not dis
criminate so closely as to the . mean-
ing of words, and . that the report
that he was in sympathy with the
movement led ninny to suppose that
he was engdged in it. Mr. TYNG re
plied: 'that if; just where I may not
be understood, but I have endeavored
to be Understood - on , the matter, for
I have preached two sermons on it
within a short time, in which I have
explziined my views. I rim, as 'I said
before, in-sympathy with the move
meut, but .I am not in 'it. People
generally who know me are, I thjuk,
tolerably well aware of the fact Mat
I do not say one 'thing and mean
another, and when I say that—my
sympathies aro with this movement,
I mean it. I ani in favor of any

I A SiSIEWHAT enthusiastic writer in
the Naplel (N. 1!).: Record describes
as follows an incident . ..which occurred
some years ago in the villaie of flush
vitlt,Yates coutity,that State: "About
nineteen years ago, 'there came to
this village a lad apparently seven
teen 'or i eighteen years old, and of
pure African descent—to deliver an
atiti-slavery lecture He was poorly
clad, 'and to covert his thread-bare
anti dilapidated coat, he wore whil ,
speaking a short cloak or circle. He .
hetured , at tile ' Congregational
Church, and was listened tb by a
large!andience, who were astonished
at the wonderful eloquence of the
y..nithful speaker. The •members 'of
the Rushville Lyceu'were so favor
ably impressed with i m he lad's abiliq,
bat_they invited him to remain ant
take a partin their nest' debate, the
question being the feasibility of tho
immediate abolition of slavery. He
declined at first, but being strongly'
.
Urged, consented . to 'Tetuan'. Amt
the members of the lyceum t that
time were DANIEL Alonati, Esq., since
iiteuib,-r of Congress, . CEIiLER F.
hmEN, Esq., JOHN SAYRE', Dr. OTIS
itICELVIR, N. 'W ARFIELD, I ' and _ others.
The debate came off iu the old Acad
emy. B. iv. WARFIELD and C. F.
GREEN spoke for immediate emanci-
tition, and a Moms, Dr. Ovis, and
J. SAYRE against. The lad remained
silent until all had spoken; he then
arose,and with becoming modesty and
with wonderful eloquence delivered
a speech , which astonished and be
wildered every one. He. answered
his opponents in the oider in ;' - ‘hich
they had spoken, commencing, if vle
remember right, with Dr. OTIS. The
Doctor, in a speech ofconsiderae
-length, had exhausted all the argl
merits used in those days in favor of
gradual emancipation, and concluded
by triumphantly declaring that it
1 would be the greatest inhuniantly to
eniaacipate the slaves without first
educating or preparing them in some
i -
way fur the great change. The lad
1- diSpatched the Doctor at a single
blow' as follows: ' I understand the
gentleman is a surgeon, and one who
understands his profeSsion. I would
ask him', if he had a patient whose
arm it wag necessary l to : =palate, it
he would prepare him fOr ,the opera.
tion by cutting off a finger at AL time,
or would he cut off the diseased limb
at once?' The Doctor ica,it silermd r l
Mounts. with his usual eloqttence / und
lawyer skill, had . foilied, rids /posi l r
tion with arguments;that saem'ed'ila
pregnable, but the lad tors, them t
shreds and scattered them like cha
bet'cle the wind. The vict4ry for th
colored boy was complete, and thp
4•xetteuient of the andienca, knew up
bounds; it- was, a subject-Of- remar?‘
for a long time afterward, Sndistill is
well remembered by those who wlit;

B. Ettierr,.and he is nowj a meruh r
