Bethel Presbyfvy.-At its recent meeting
on the 4th of Oct
"Interesting communications were re-

Hall, two members of the Presbytery; the
former chaplain of the OH regiment of South
Carolina volunteers, the latter chaplain Of
the 18th regiment of South Carolina volun-
teers. Mr. Hall reported an interesting case
of the hopeflt conversion, baptism and death,
in camp, of young man who was mem
Der of the company fom Ebenezer, York,
his own pastoral charge. Both these chap
lains report the deep and hopeful interest
with which their respective regiments gen.
orally attend on the preaching of the Cos

REVIVAL INTELLIGENCE.-Aco correspond
ent of the Southern Presby terian gives an
account of precious meeting at Mt. Oilvet
church, Tuscaloosa Presbytery.
At the first Of the meeting there was
manifested an interest among the ungodly
part of the congregation surprising to the
church and to the ministers. The interest
Increased, and the meeting continued for
ten days, brother A. p. Sillimau assisting
me With his usual JUNCTION and efficiency
We do not know how many were hopefully
converted during the meeting, but our lit
tie church received sixteen by profession,
Gye by certificate, 1.-TWO from the Baptist
church, and one restored-in all twenty
two, with applications still awaiting our next
preaching day. Some of The converts will
jcia other churches.
One peculiarity of this revival was the
number Of heads of families hopefully con-
yerted. | do not remember ever to have
seen so large a proportion of fathers added
to the Church at any one time. The pecu-.
mary strength of the little church is fully
doubled, suppose, by1the recent additions.
Mount Oliyet is not on any of the great
thoroughfares of travel, only getting the
nail twice week, yet the military officers
were organizing and recruiting within the
congregation al the time Of the meeting;
