A correspondent Of the Pres5yterian Of
The West, writing an account Of bis vOy.
see doEn the Mississippi, along With .
bundled other ministers, 10 siisnd the Gen
sral Assembly at New Orleans. thus tells
what the preachers did on Sunday. The

ton that we would ray the expenses Of the

sixty dollars, but be would take five hun
dred dollars. The money was raised and
the bargain closed. We arrived at the lit
tie village Of Providence, La, abd that
Providence which directs all things SEEM
ed indeed TO have directed our course to
that point 10 spend the Sabbath.
"0n awakening 10 the morning, all quiz
ct on board, we learned that the Presby-
terry Of Central Mississippi had closed its
business sessions there on Saturday even
Jog. and thst the sacrament Of the Lords
Supper was to be celebrated that Sabbath
morning. We, therefore, gave up our in
tended service on the boat, and joined the
congregation in the saerameutal services Of
the Presbyterian Church. And precisely
such q meeting. under such circumstances,
bad never before occurred upon the banks
Of the Mississippi, and may never occur
again; one hundred ministers and elders
from thirteen States and Territories Of tbe
Union, stopping one Of the floating pal
aces Of this majestic river, on purpose t.
keep holy the Lords day, meeting pres
bytery in session, and joining with them
and with the Church in celebrating tie
Lords Supper. 1t was most refreshing
season to our company, to the Presbytery,
