The late meeting of this body, held at Grinda
remembered by those who were privileged tt
attend. The over-hanging clouds and contin'
uous rains under which the greater number OF
US left our homes, the muddy roads, long distance
and swollen streams, are facts not soon to be
forgotten. SO, too, the cordial greeting receiv'
ed from that noble flock and hospitable COM
munity around the newly organized church, the
pleasant s%ojourn there, and the interesting
meeting of the Presbytery, constitute it on oc-
casion to be cherished with delight for many
long years to come.
The opening Sermon was preached by the
Moderator, Rev. W. T. Hall. Twenty eight
members were present-more than half Elders.
Rev. J. H. Sage was elected Moderator, and W.
T, Hall, Clerk. Rev. John S. Harris, preached
the Doctrinal Sermon on the "Persever ance OF
the Saints - and Rev. A. A. James was elected
his successor to preach on the theme, "For
whom Christ Died ?" Rev. John S. Harris and
Robert s. Hope, Esq.-with Rev. D. Harrison
and W. P. Thomasson, Esq, as alternates-
were nominated Commissioners to the General
Assembly of 1861.
The Reports from the Churches indicated that
Gods blessing had been upon them. The ag-
gregate of members, received since our Synodi'
cal report, was about 175. While all the
had received some accessions, those
named here had been most largely blessed, viz:
Bethesda with 81; Catholic with 81 Concord
with II; Ebenezer with 13; Fair Forest with
II Douglass with 10; Pleasant Grove with II !;
Bethel not heard from.
The cause of Domestic Missions received con-
siderable attention; and is evidently drawing
more largely than ever before, upon the sympa.

"TO LUNA.

"TO LUNA"
Your favors now grant me, ye powers above!.
To you is committed ''the course of true love;"
wisdom be pleased to impart-
For now is endangered the peace of my heart.
Dear Luna I saw in o rural retreats
The hours, they were brief, and the minutes
were feet;
But her crimsoued cheeks and her love-speaking
eyes,
Took captive my heart, and in chains it now
lies.
I went to her bower, untrammeled and free,
My spirit was blitbe, as a spirit need be;
But ere I departed, twas sorely distressed,
For the missile of Cupid had tortured my breast.
Together we rambled sweet flowers to seek,
And silently wondered what language they
speak -
Not the violet's tint, nor the blush Of the rose,
Can the hearts deep devotion and fondness dis
close.
Oh! pity me now, happy powers abovel
To you is committed 'the course ftrue love -
Let the missile Of Cupid to Luna descend,
That our hearts rosy streams of affection may
blend. ELECTUS.

INKLINGS.

- Glasgow, situated on the river Clyde in
Scotland, was built up from a mere hamlet t.
its present size containing 1884 900 inhabitants,
by the Virginia tobacco-trade. The house o.
Frazer, Trenholm g. Co., of Charleston and Liv'
erpool, have just set on foot a movement which
will, we hope, ultimately rebound to the greatly
increased size and Importance of both that city
and Charleston. They have just established a
line of packets which will ply between these
cities and it is thought that the comparative
freedom from fog and ice along the route to be
traversed, together with other advantages, will
enable this line to compete most successfully
with New York commerce. The Glasgow Cou
risr Of a recent date, contains an article from
Mr.. J. D. Dougal,, who speaks well Of this en-
~terprise and, in calling the attention of ship
owners and merchants to it, advises steam to be
placed upon the route-so important does he
deem it for Glasgow to have this direct connec'
ton with 'the great and rich states to which
Charleston is a natural outlet The unmistake
ably onward movements which have this sum.
mer been made by the friends of direct trade
tend to enkiudle a sympathetic hope and ardol
for the cause of Southern independence.
"A company of Cavalry, says the Laurens
Vile Herald, with the title of "Palmetto Ligh'
Dragons" was organized on sale-day last a

men were elected officers of the newly organized
company: J. Wash. Williams, Captain; c. M
Miller, 1st Lieut.. ; W. H. Franks, End Lieut..
O. F. Simpson, Sd Lieut.. In consequence Of
the probable adoption of o State Uniform, the
"Dragoons" prudently forebore to uniform them
selves, at present. This argues that they have
enlisted to serve the State, and not in a fit o
military pride. Well done, Laurens.

THE BRoGAN MOVEMENT.

Az enquiry made in a recent number of the
Southern Guardian, whether negro shoes Of
Carolina make could be had anywhere in Col
umbia,' together with other advertising lntu
ences, has developed the grateful fact that more
than one, perhaps between two and three hun
dred thousand pairs of brogaus are made yearly
in South Carolina. The largest Factory we
have heard of, Mr.. Lynch's of Cheraw, turns out
one hundred pairs per day, and is patronized by
planters in various parts Of the State. The
next largest belongs to Mr.. Allen of Camden,
who now puts in the 'Florida, Alabama, Mis-
~sissippi and Arkansas" market upwards OF
Is, 900 pairs annually;" and is making arrange
ments hereafter to manufacture $4,000 pairs per
annum, to meet the demand which the POPULAR
ty of his shoes has created on the plantations OF
the west. We could place our finger on per
haps more than a dozen 'shops," in the upper
districts, which manufacture each from 5OO to
5000 pairs of negro shoes annually.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1860-10-11

These shoes commonly cost from twenty five
to fifty cents per pair more than Yankee bro
gans while for actual service they are really
worth perhaps one half more. The best made
Yankee shoe will scarcely last a negro fellow,
engaged actively upon the farm in rain and sun,
ice and snow, during the severity of the winter.
The homemade brogan will not only do this /;
but, if at all taken care of, will serve the negro
a kind turn on logrolliug occasions, when plough
ing in rough ground, at the harvest season,
while binding fodder at night-in short upon all
occasions when he needs g shoe throughout the
whole year. If we simply take into considera'
ton the length of time the shoe lasts, the home
made is the cheapest; but there are other facts
worthy of note. The Southern shoe-for the
simple reason that it is stouter-protects the
feet from rain and cold better; and, therefore,
is a better guardian of the negroes health and
life. We begin to die in the feet ~oftener, per.
haps, than in any other part of the body. They
are farther from the heart and hardest, there
fore to keep warm. The Yankee shoes are
often made of light split leather that soon wears
into holes. They are badly pegged, and soon
"trip" The eye seams are stitched in a gallop
and soon yawn. Water or snow gets to the ne
groe's feet through these apertures then a cold,
pneumonia, death-an immense loss rs we'll as 6
crime.
Over and above all these facts stands the
ever present and ever-pressing need of more
Southern independence, appealing like the star
wing cry of a beloved mother to the patriot
Say 200, 900 pairs of brogans are made annually
in South Carolina. That would be upwards o
500 pairs per day; to make which would require
200 men. To feed and clothe these and them
selves, 200 more would be necessary. So, her
are 400 men to add to the wealth and power o
the State in peace, or form q fine battalion ane
lido valiantly" on the day of battle.
Success, then, we say to the brogan move
ment! One hundred "guns" and ~ovations fo1
"Alden," 'Lynch,'' "Mc," and all the rest!-
"Nine hundred and ninety. nine thousand cheers
for the ''bloodless victories" of Southern indie
pendence!

The editor of the Southern Christian 4

--The editor of the Southern Christian Ad
pocate, published at Charleston, has just re.
covered from IN attack of Yellow Fever. We
give below his vivid description of the effects
produced by this direful epidemic:
Another Advocate goes forth to its readers,
without having received any care from the Edi
for. He is indebted to his excellent friend, Mr..
Canning, the foreman of the Office, for all that
has been done, while he himself has been en-.
loving the luxury Of a bout with fever. And
such a fever! Had it come up with hot hand
and slapped one boldly in the face saying ''stand
that ifyou can" there might have been some
credit in ~succumhing but to have it sneak on,
without ever sending Ague to shake the doors
down. or Pain to wrench them off the hinges,
and crawling up to ones heels lay hold and creep
up, hanging leaden weights, all along up, up to
ones neck, and pulling him down and sitting
on him for ten days-this is fever you need not
want. How the leaden waves seem to ebb and
flow through you; and then they divide and
subdivide you, until you do not know how many
people you have come to be. Yonder is one
arm roasting a hundred yards off, and yonder a
leg quarter of a mile away, and you cannot get
to them to pull them out of the fre-and you
feel that if you could only come all together
again, you would be sound. Well, at last the
difficult task is accomplished-unity is estab.
lighed once more and after a twelve days con
test, the doctor says-the cook may take you in
hand now. Pleasant words, only the cook can
not half do justice to the occasion. Oh! for
Sever or Mrs. Glass. There is a orumb of com
fort. The doctor opines that yellow fever has
been writing his receipt all over us, and has
given US epidemic acquaintance for the future
If so, the immunity has not been dearly pur-
chased either for ourself or for several mem
bers of our family who have been sick. Able to
creep about now, we pen this paragraph in hope
that next week we may return to our work
which, hard as it may be, is more pleasant than
being sick.

District, and q new organization expected there
was reported. There are but two vacant
churches in the Presbytery. The following
ministerial supplies were ordered for these anu
destitute communities, during the next SIX
months. At Unionvile, Ministers James, Har-
ris and Hall, preach one Sabbath each. AT
Cane Greek, Anderson, Davies and Banks, each
one Sabbath. Near Halselville, Adams, Baird,
Erwin, Sage and White, supply s many as three
Sabbaths between them, and as many week days
as convenient. In a community, east of Lam
caster Court House, Craig, Harrison and Smith,
preach one Sabbath each and Rev. s. l.. Wat
son, one Sabbath in q vacant Church or desti-
tute locality.
Notice was given, from the committee author
ICED, to the members of Presbytery, that a con-
~vention of Elders and Deacons is to be held in
Yorkville, on the first Wednesday in August
next; and that on the occasion Rev. J. NJ. H.
Adams is to preach q Sermon to the Eldership,
Rev. 8. L. Watson to the Deacons, and W. P.
Crawford, Esq, to make an address to both the
Elders and Deacons. The objects Of the Con-
v~ention were recommended, by resolutions a.
dopted in Presbytery, to all the officers in our
Churches.
After remaining together three days, and en-
Toying q blessed Communion on Sabbath, the
Presbyters sought their homes on Monday. Ii
parting from that youthful but exemplary church
With whom we had been so pleasantly associated
we recorded our s~inoerest benedictious, and ex
pressed our bright anticipations Of its future
prosperous career. 1t is q monument of what
small band Of Christians-mostly women, aided
by gentlemen of intelligence and heightened
priuciples-can accomplish by the blessing 3
God. This is q church of but one years stand
ing and fourteen members yet it enjoys tn
pastoral services of one Of our best preachers
for half the time. Surely, here Isl rebuke t
some of our large churches-having t'0enty to|
