The religious anniversaries fthe Ban-
tlst denomination are now in progress in
this c!ty-having been commenced on
Tuesday evening in the splendid new

Mr.. Judson, the Baptist pioneer in the East,
has so long been stationed, the seed which
he has sown is springing up widely, and
bearing much fruit. Among that most
interesting people, the Karens. the church
numbers now more than three thousand
converts.
Among the exercises yesterday the most
gratifying speech was made by John Bush
yhead, a Cherokee convert, who is a
preacher The accounts he gave of the
moral condition of tie Cherokees in their
new home, We're deeply interesting. He
stated that religions awakening had
sprung up among their bands when on
their march from Georgia TO the great
West which has continued TO some extent
until this day. Among population of
5000 souls, there are now 1000 exem-
plary members of the Christian church.
They have a regular government repre-
sentative in its :orm. with a settled magis-
tracy; and the people are engaged in build
ing school-houses, opening schools, estab.
fishing churches, and in the adoption of
such other measures as seem to be neces-
sary to bring order out OF their late confu-
sion.-N. Y. Spec.
