DEAR BENNETT -
Never within my recollection have religion, poll
tics and finance created so much excitement in Lex
ington as during the past few months. most go-
rious revival attended with the happest results has
been in progress in the Methodist Church for six
weeks, during which period more than one hundred
persons, many of them very hardest ca
ses, have been hopefully converted, and per-
suaded to express their faith in Methodism and the
Christian religion, and yet the work goes on
Meetings are held every night. and Christians are
awake to a sense of their responsibility, and mour
ners constantly crowd the altar, soliciting their
counsel and an interest in their prayers Surely this
must must be the dawning of the Millennium, for
which we look with interest most intense
Our Church certainly merits much credit for the
zeal we have manifested in this great work. More
particularly Tor our untlrng and successful efforts to
resuscitate Transy lvana University which you have
already been informed has been in very depressed
condition tor many years past, but Is now beginning
to arise like the Phenlx from its ashes, being the
suit of the cooperation of our whole church, and
the very Judlclous management of the most intel
lectual and learned faculty in our country. Look

spirit and extremely modest depOrtment-a single
glance at him in the pulpit is sufficient 10 convince
any unprecedented mind that he is destined at dis.

the Apostle Paul himself
Though we have had the management of the IN

dents already exceed POO, and is daily increasing -
The benefit to Lexington is consequently ncalcula-
BILE; and yet regret to say, large portion Of the
community are becoming quite jealous of US, the
Presbyterans particularly; simply bscausG few of
ths,r members have left the old, crazy, worm eaten
and eaky Calvanlstic vessel, and have resolved to
sail with us in the gallant vessel of Free Grace,
into the haven of eternal rest, shouting, singing and
praylng as we go.
II is really gratifying to see how happy the lads
of the University appear, dressed in uniform, with
yellow badges of distinction on the shoulder; and
with what grace and modes'y they strut the streets,
| conscious OF their own Importance
| Do you recollect Ex Con gressman Tom Marshall,
who, sometime ago SO cruelty bored Col Webb, Of
| the Regulars! Well, Tom has reached home
where he Is resolved to remain in spite of all oppO
| sltlOn. Immediately upon reaching Lexington he
called together the public, in order to render
count Of his stewardship; which was done in man
nei sufficiently sophstcal to satisfy his best friends
Tom assured US that Mr.. Clay and his party had al
together abandoned whiggery; and that he Tom NJ,
was the only true whg in the land very modest
admiss on. What pity his friends will not believe
this to be the only ground of his hostility to MIR
Clay. Marshalrs political career has closed, and
Garrett Davis has taken the stump, and doubtless
will be our representative IN the next Congress.
