The feeling before Lincoln's election.
--In laying the corner-stone of the University of the South, (In Tennessee,) on the 10th of October, 1860, in the presence of seven Episcopal Bishops, viz: of Florida, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and two others, there were deposited in the said stone the Holy Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Constitution of the United States.--When the latter was about being placed in the stone, Bishop Elliott, of Georgia, said: "I next deposit in this corner stone the Constitution of the United States, the time-honored bond which binds together the States of this Confederacy, to testify that the University of the South, while it holds the Church superior to the State in all strictly spiritual matters, acknowledges herself subordinate to it in all matters of government and of law.
