MIMHOP W1UHTMAN TO TUB COL-
OR MO PEOPLE.
Bishop Wightman, of tho Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, at the re
qUest of the Mobile Conference, has
prepared End published an admirable
Pastoral Address to the colored mem-
bers oi that Church. We should be
glad to republish it, had we the spnee
to spare. The Bishop reminds them
of the labors of the ministers and
missionaries among them, over since
they have been in this country, by
which thoy have been brought from
the' dSffcness of heathenism to
tho light' and faith of the gos
pel. He assures them of the undi
minished interest which these minis-
ters and, their churches still take in
their spiritual welfare and everiastr
ing happiness, now that their coudi
tion is changed by emancipation. He
urges the cultivation ]of the kindes;
feelings between themselves and their
brethren of old, and warns ^thaw
superior. He was to the Methodist
