Dr. Wm. Hoge.
Rev. Dr. Wm. Hoge, whose recent return to Virginia was announced this paper, has for some years been assistant minister of Rev. Dr. Spring, in one of the principal Presbyterian churches of New York. Dr. Hoge has found great difficulty in relinquishing his charge at an earlier period, from the fact that he was one of the few ministers of that city who abstained from preaching on political affairs, confining himself to the proclamation of the Gospel, which rendered his congregation very unwilling to give him up, notwithstanding his strong Southern sentiments. We welcome him back to Virginia with great pleasure, for he is a true and gifted son of the South, and all such will rally to their old mother in the hour of need.
