A, r. SYNOD.

The Synod of the Associate Reformed Church,
South, met at Rev. H Quigg's church, (Hope
WELL Newton County, Georgia, on the 9th in
slant. We have only space to give the leading
results of their deliberations. The resolution
passed by last Synod to remove the Theological
Seminary TO Nashville, Tennessee, was resciuded
hence the Seminary is now a "6xed fact at
Due West. Rev. J. P. PRESLEY, D. D., was
transferred from the Greek Professorship in
Erskiue College, to a Professorship in The Sem.
mary. Rev. R. C. Grier, D. D.-who has had
sole charge of the theological students for the
last year-assisted as he will be by Dr.. Presley
hereafter, has accepted a call from the congre-
CATION Mt Due West to the pastorship of their
church, made vacant by the late death of that
good and pious man, the lamented Dr.. Ebenezer
Presley.
The vacant Greek chair in the College, will be
filled by Pres. E. l.. Patton and the Latin chair
left unoccupied thereby, will be filled by a new
Prof. elect-Mr. John P. Kennedy. The Facul-
ty, in addition to this, were empowered to en-
tloy n Tutor to take charge of the Preparatory
department. The College session will hereafter
commence on the first Monday of October, in
stead of November and Commencement will &C.
cur on the second Wednesday of July, instead of
August, as heretofore.
1t was decided not to embark just now, in the
work of foreign missions; because the field at
home is so "white unto the harvest" Rev. W.
B. Presley breaches the Missionary Sermon
before next Synod.
Rev. H. Thompson, of Virginia, is the delegate
to next General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church Rev. D. G. Phillips of Georgia, alter
nate. Rev. Jas. Boyce, D.. D., the last delegate,
stated that owing to "the distracted condition
of the public mind in regard to our peculiar in
stitution,' the particular locality of the meeting"
Rochester, New York. &c., he did not attend
the last General Assembly. His reason was
sustained. Rev. E. T. Baird, D. D., of Missip-
pi, in attendance upon Synod as a delegate from
the Presbyterian Church, presented the fratern-
al regard and kind greetings of his church to
Synod, and regretted exceedingly the circum-
stances influencing the decision of her delegate.
Rev. James A. Sloan is Moderator elect. The
meeting of Synod is changed to the third Mon
day in September.
Rev. R. W. Brice, j. Y. Mills and Col. W. G..
Beatty were appointed a committee to give such
attention as may be necessary to the bequest Of
$1,000 to Erskine College, made by the late Col.
Wright Of this place.
Among the ministers sent to various places in
the South, we notice the names of many whose
faces are familiar to US; our comrades in the
olden ESQ stationed, and some literally
''going about" on their work of divine love. We
cannot refrain from waiting for their happiness,
a prayer mingled with the golden memories of
the sunny past.

......The United States Senate which as
sembles in December and closes on the 18th
March, consists of thirty.six National or
Administration Democrats, t~wenty-seven
Republicans and two Douglas Democrats,
with one vacany from Oregon. The new
Senate will also consist Of a majority of
National Democrats, with a strong probabili-
ty that in the House they will also have
the controlling power for the next two
years. The House which meets in Decem-
Der and adjourns on the 9TH of March, con-
tains an anti Democratic majority.
There is some apprehension that one
or more States will secede in the event OF
Lincoln's election ; and the question is ask
ed, will they be coerced back again by
Federal power? Now, whilst we deprecate
and oppose disunion and secession, so long
as the free States are suffered to nullify with
~impunity the fugitive slave law, it would
be a somewhat dangerous experiment for
them to attempt forcibly to retain a sece'
ding slave State. Massachusetts,, Vermont,
New York, and other free States are pretty
examples of loyalty, certainly. Theyshould
say as little as possible about Southern reb'
els and traitors.-Macon (Ga.) Journal
and Messenger.

ern part of Texas, says, that although the
drought has been severe, there is enough
corn and wheat for home consumption
Stock is fat and f%ourishing; butter and
milk are abundant, and plenty Of acorDs
for the hogs. The health Of the country
is very good. Much interest is felt in ed
u%cation, and the schools and seminaries are
Aourishing. The New Orleans and Texas
Railroad is a greatly favored project; in.
deed the people are much awake to the
Importance of railroads generally. The
completion of this road will give a great
impetus to the raising of stock, for which
Texas is peculiarly adapted. There is no
yellow fever on the coast. The farmers
are preparing to raise a much larger guam
tity of wheat, which is found to be the
very best Texan crop-also to increase the
production of cattle, sheep, goats. horses
and mules.

quently one of them wa. taken to lions Hill
Cemetry, in the suburbs Of Hartford, and dashed
to a tomb stone the second was taken in a car
riage, and suspended by a rope under the arms
in an old well and the third was Mr.. Sill. He
is described as 80 quiet, peaceable young man,
who would disturb no one, and who himself pre-
ferred not to be disturbed or personally abused"
A carriage was provided, and he was seized by
two students-others being near to aid-when

drew a pistol and fired upon his assailants. The
shot missed. On hearing the report, the faculty
interfered, the assailants disappeared, and Sill

- On the 9th August, the United States
steamer, Mohican, captured the SLAYER Erie, with
1877 Africans on board, off the coast Of Africa
and conveyed them to Monrovia-thirty negroes
dying on the passage. The vessel and officers
were brought to New York a few days ago; and
the latter were detained as prisoners. The yes.
sci was found to belong to a Northern man!
- Baltimore has been, perhaps, more noto-
rious than any other city in the Union, for the
bad management and the bloody results, of its
great popular elections. Heretofore, the police
men, whose business it is to keep good order and
preserve the peace, have been connected with
politics aud parties; and as they CHANGED to be
ranged with this or that party at the different
wards of the city, it became dangerous even to
the life of men on the opposite side, to cast their
vote. The "Plugs" on their side would rule the
day. Now, however, the police of Baltimore, by
q city regulation, are divorced from politics ;
and their neutrality in elections, as far as "stri.
king" is concerned, and their devotion to the
rights of all parties, are part of their tenure OF
office. The result, on Tuesday of last week,
when the State elections were held there, was to
free the city entirely from the rule Of the "Plug-
uglies," and secure to each citizen the vote of a
freeman,

Harper's Ferry Anniversary Celebration.-T

Browns raid on Harper's Ferry, Va, was cele-
brated by the Republicans in Boston, bya Wide
Awake procession, the first division Of which

First anniversary Of the capture of Harper's

square on Tuesday evening, October l6, to 60,

EEa. 1t is a common observation that there
are more sufferers from debility, among Ameri-
cans, than can be found among any other civili-
zed nation. The reason is obvious. We take
too little exercise, and forget the wants Of the
body in the absorbing pursuits of business. In
all such cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good. What is required is just such a tonic and
invigorator as DR.. j.. Hostetter has given to the
world, in his CELEBRATED "BITTERS." The
weak and nervous denizen of the counting house,
the exhausted toiler upon the shop-board, and
the Frustrated student of the midnight lamp,
have found a wonderful regenerator in the "Bit-
tiers" and prefer i, to more pretentious, but less
eficacious medicines. But it should not be for.
gotten that the agent which is so magical in its
influence upon a frame which is merely debilita-
ted, is equally powerful in assisting nature to
expel the most terrible forms of disease. Who
would not give it a trial?
