The Clergy of rebellion.--A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, writing from Marion, Ala., says: “Rev. H. A. M. Henderson, late of Kentucky, is now canvassing this portion of the State, raising a regiment.
He is a Methodist clergyman, and was driven from Kentucky because he would not take upon him the Lincoln yoke.
It argues well for the Southern confederacy to see the clergy flying to arms.
It is stated here that one-half of the Baptist ministers of this State are in the army, so that in the convention many vacant seats are to be found.” --N. Y. World, Nov. 20.
