Neral PROGRESS IN MississIrpI.-Om accounts
from the State of Mississippi highly interesting.
II is already well-known that that rich and respect
able Stale has repudiated large amount of her
public debt, and given name to that system of
morals throughout the civilized world. BY recent
accounts from Mississippi, we perceive that there
is also another system Of Reputation going on
there. The people Of that interesting State are
very rapidly repudiating sin and wickeduess. Ac-
cordlng TO the most recent accounts and by the
returns of the great Mississippi Conference upon
religion, which was convened at Woodve, upon
the 10Th of November, and adjourned on the 9Th
of December, we find there is a net increase of the
saints in that State, over the number OF last year,
Of 22l2 making now, in all, 25O6 saints or men,
bers l2O local preachers, 81 local deacons 81 local
elders and 100 travelling preachers, besides volun-
tares round about the plantations and in the
suburbs of the various cities.
SO we can now say, if Mississippi does not pay
her debts to clustering John Bull, she pays her
debts to heaven. If she does not pay her debts to
her European creditors, she has large surplus
upon the credit side of the books of the kingdom
of Heaven. This is something.
