f,.y comply with the request Of Mr.. Nm Langhofne
of this city, publish the annexed account of meet
in recently held in the city of Richmond TO consider
a subject which has for time past received much
attention at the hands OF Mr. l.. aud other christian
gentlemen, who are now lending their best exertions
in order 10 effect reformation IN matte. which AL
meals in the strongest terms TO the sympatbies nm
support Of all good people, in the South The extract
which follows is from the Central PRESBYTERIAN of
Richmond. We regret our inability to publish the
entire article which would amply repay a pcrusaL-
The limited space Mt our command is the only excuse
we offer
1.-THE discussions were continued to n late hour
and conducted with great harmony. DrGaines of Ham
over made statements OF deep interest in regard 10
the success of his efforts his plantation and gave
il as the result OF hive experece that were there
no other tor the religious instruction OF SER
v nS than the temporal advantages u, crung to them
and their master, it would be worth all the labor ex
pended it. Mr.. John Walker of this city, made
similar statements in regard 10 similar effort that
he had been making for several years in his tobacco
factory. They concurred in the opinion that the eff
feet OF religious teaching their servants was emf
uenty saiutnry, in every respect and that Chris
tans they had been richly rewarded in the pleasure
that they had received in CARRY ing on the work
Here the experiment has been tried hy Christian mas
tiers in the great departments of labor the plan
tition and the manuactory and their testimony is
distinct that in both of them the result has been sal
utary in temporal point of view. Christian masters
will feel the obligation from much higher motives
and will ought to instruct their servants because
they immortal souls, inrusied TO their hands by
God, for whom they sacredly responsible. as
they are for their children. But those who are in-
sen sibie to such motives, and may fear that to
instruct their will be make them in subor-
dinae and worthless, may learn from the cases cited
which are but two ont OF many hundreds that could
be given, that good christian can never be n bad
servant and that to teach tuem the why to heaven
can unfit them for the duties of earth.
ave hope therefore that the attention now uwak-
ing all the South to this duty may lend to more
thorough and systematic efolts in this direction
New RAILROAD ScHEDuLEs.-The officers Of tie
different roads who assembled mt Knoxville last
week, agreed upon the following schedule;
Going west leave Lynchburg at II. III. arrive at
Bristol at p. m, aud stop an hour for supper
Leave Bristol at p IN, and arrive at Knoxville at
4 p IN. next. Leave Knoxville at p. m, and
rive at Dalton at l p. IN.
Going east leave Dalton Mt midnight Knoxville at
: a. H., and Bristol Mt a m, next day and arrive
at Lynchburg at p.
This arrangement is an excellent one from Mem
phs to 1.ynchburg, AS there is no more time given
to each company that just enough to ensure con-
nexion The time from Knoxville 10 Brisol--20
hours-will enable tue stage coaches ample time to
meet the railroad cars at each end of their line. and
we think there will be no more complaints lodged
against the stage company.
The most important part of the arrangement of
the schedule is the agreement of the superin
tendent oil the Georgia State road to run the trains
that road so as to make close counexlon Mt
Dalton from each end of the ne-that is the trains
from Chattanooga and Atlanta will meet at Dalton
and there the passengers from each train will imme
dately go on to Knoxville by the cars of the East
Tennessee and Georgia roads.
This is altogether arrangement so far
Southern travel is concerned aud passengers from
Alabama Georgia, when they get to Atlanta, can
if they choose. take the mountain route and
the vicinity of all the mineral springs of upper Geor
gia, Tennessee and the long time celebrated springs
of Virginia, and avoid the hot 5ultry weather. that
prevails on the Atlantic coast route The new sched-
ue to have commenced yesterday. -Br'stoI News.
We believe that the above schedule in the main is
correct yet there will be slight deviation from
it. For example, the hour of arrival at this place
will be o'clock p. NJ instead of o'clock though the
hour of departure from here will be the
PRESENT. o'clock A. NJ.
SUPPOSED HoMIoIDE-On Monday week. Mr.. Pat
rick Gallagher, highly respected citizen of Mont
gomery county, shot, and probably killed, by
man named Blackwell. Gallagher was the owner of
anil in Franklin county, and some words had pas

Thos. r. Joynes, Jr., writing to the commissioner
of patents from Accomac c. H., Virginia, states that

part of II square in his garden for seed In the sum
mer of 1855, after saving seed he had it cut spaded
up and the ground raked clean. The few roots left
in the ground soon sprang up, and now 1t - as thck
