RELIGIOUS REvIvAL.-For the past
week Rev. Mr. Barry, of Aberdeen, as
sisted by DR.. Slack, of Pontotoc, has been
conducting revival in the Missionary
Baptist church, at this place. 1t didnot
meet success commensurate with the elo-
quence and efforts of Mr.. b., who day af-
ter day held his audiences spell-bound
with sermons of matchless beauty and
truth, diffiusing light where once all was
darkness. We have not learned the num-

GEN. REUBEN DAVIS.

This gentleman delivered speech in
Okolona last Saturday. He was invited
here by citizens irrespective of party, to
speak upon the political tendency OF
the times not to deliver a partizan har-
angue. He spoke of various votes given
by him during the last session of Con
gress stood and will stand by the econ
ference Bill" and pitched into abolition
lists generally. That's right, Gen. Davis.
If we understand him Alright he don't
swear by the National Democracy but
is clear-gritted, unauthorized, unterri
lied, flre-eating, Southern Rights man
State-Rights- Democrat, if you choose.
He spoke of the encroachments and
threats of the Northeners, and showed
up with master hand the dangers that
beset the South. He drew vivid pictures
OF the willing and whitening condition of
the South under the rule of the Black
Republicans, and warned that clouds of
oppression, dark and threatening as the
shades of Erebus, hang over our heads
Altogether we liked the talk pretty well
what we heard of what we didn't hear.
of course, can't express an opinion.
By the way, the General spoke of some
Abolition Senator saying, at the height
OF the Kansas excitement, that things had
reached the eliminating poiGt. Now we
wish to query as follows: "When
things again reach the eliminating
point, if they ever do, and an overtnrning
is threatened, won't another Conference
Bill be propped against the things to
prevent too much topping?
