N. c. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTIONS
The anniversary Of this institution was held in
this city, commencing on F:iday of last week,
The introductory sermon preached on FIJI
day at | l o'clock by Rev. r. McNabb, and the
Convention Sermon on Sunday, at the same hour;
by Rev J. J. Finch. The next Session of the
Convention is appointed te be held in the city,
commencing on Friday before the third Errds
day in October, l845.
The representation was as far as we could
Judge from observation, unusually large. The
amount of funds contributed was greater, probably,
than it had been for several years. The proceed
lngs were conducted with great harmony, unani-
nifty and brctherly kindness-not the slightest ia.
cdent occurring, calculated to disturb the current
of pleasant feeling. to mar the qualification of
the RumbeEs ia attendance.
In addition to the sessions f the Convention,
which were held from day to day, the N. c. b.
Baptist Society," the N c. Education Society, tte
Board of Trustees of w. Forest College, and the
Board of the Convention, held their respective
meetings during the interval, and on Wednesday,
So far as we have learned, the members and
friends connected with all these institutions, were
much encouraged, and took leave of each other
wIhza confident hope of witnessing a more gen
eral attendance and u more enthusiastic meeting,
year hence,
The brethren were greatly cherrcd, and the
interest Of the meeting not little enhanced, by
the attendance of brethren from Virgins aud So
Carolina. Brethren James and Richard Firman
from the latter, and James TaY Ylor and HarlShorn
from, the former, added much to the. interest Of
meetings and especially to the value of eur
pulpit exercises Such correspondence gives to:

Among the Delegates to the Convention, we
were pleased TO see several brethren from beyend
the mountains; one of whom, SIC 1-toi, was na-
tive Cherokee, " no had pc formed the whole jour.
nry onfoot This brother addressed the Convrn.
tion, and also preached on Sunday afternoon,
through his interpreter, bfoher Chastecn. Ha
was listened to with deep interest and attention;
and bV the simple eloqnrncc of-his manner, con-
nected with his manifest carnrsness and sincerity,
evidently found his way to many heart. He
inspired respect with all classes and in all places,
and we believe has left most favorable impress.
ion ON the community at large, We are sure oil
would be gratilitd to see Sic-n-toi at our next n
nual mceting-and not Sic-a-t0i only but all who
were with US from the Wcst and us many more
rs make it convenient to attend. We rejoice
in this intercommunicaton with our Western
brethren, and trust that their number, with US may
be doubled every year
Our Presbyterian and Methodist brethren Of
this city, with their usual courtesy and good will
offered the Convention the use of their respective
places of worship during the continuance of tho
meeting, which were very gladly and gratefully
accepted. We are sure that the mrnlbcrs of the
Cotivehtiet were highly gratifed by this express
ion of christian kindness, and will feel pItnsnfo
in recprocating the favor, whenever circumstau.
ccs shall put it In their power to do So
