ali Baptist Churches throughout the State to meet

| Rev. DR.. Ryland, Corresponding Secretary
| OF The Education Board, reported that during
the past year the Board have aided twenty
| nine young men in preparing for the ministry
| at the Richmond College, four Of whom are
| candidates for graduation. The following is
| all extract from DR., Rylands report
'The long cherished hatred of the Northern
States towards the institutions OF the South,
has at length developed itself in an aggressive
and cruel War-a war which, in the made
quacy of its cause, in the earnest efforts of
| the assailed to avert it by peaceful adjust
| ments, and in deliberate purpose to eXteTmi-
nate or Sublugate brothers whose chief criIRe
| consists in asking to be let alone has no pa
| rallel among civilized nations. Orr reliance
for ministers OF the Gospel must heneeforth
be, under God, exclusively on ourselves
While we cherish, with un6irninisheG conf
Gence, those brethren among us who, though
| born and bred at the North, are yet loyal and
| true to The South, We proclaim IL on the
house top, that in future IN arches will
not, and should not, accept a si9gle evangelist t
coming from that corrupted region. What
was once prejudice, that time and aequain-
| tance often overcame, is now u tern and set
| tied principle, that Will admit of no discussion
| no modification-no relaxation.
| "We have convincing and painful evidence
that large majority of the so called minis
ters of the Prince OF Peace are active instiga-
| tors OF the crusade against cur soil, our homes
our wives, our daughters. The inference *,
that our educational iabors, instead of BEN Z
| iessened, must hereafter be grea tly augm sht-
ed. Especially must we train our own preach
ers During the progress of the war, ws con
sent and advise that every dollar, if needed
| shall be given to the holy cause of main tain
| ing our independence. But as soon as vie
| tory shall perch on our banners, 1t surely
| will in the end, and we shall be recognized, as
| we shall inevitably be, by European Powers
| ana the int ted States as Il distinct eonieder- =
acy, q scene of pros sperity, unexampled in our
| past career, viii open upon us, and then We
| shall call on every lover of his country I
| give hobIy to the cause Of emancipation from
| ignorance, as he does now to the cause OF de-
| liverance from social and political oppres-
! sion -
Rev. a. B. Brown read Il report from the
| Foreign Mission Board, from which it appears
| that Baptist missionaries in heathen lands are
laooring with hopefulneSs and success. This
report gave rise to an interesting discussion, in
| which keVs. L. w Allen, J. Ii. TAYLOR a NJ
| Poindexter, G. w. Sampson, and a. Broad
| dus, participated.
Rev Geo 3. Taylor reported the following
| impor tant preamble and resolutions

A report on Sunday Schools and Pubiica
| tions, prepared by a. II. Sands, Esq, OF Rich
mopd was read by DIR. Burrows. From thi
report make the following extract:
In the Sabbath School cause we hay
made some steps in advance. The number 0
conversions reported, and attendance on tn
| schools, Will appear in the annexed tabu la
: statement. Too great care cannot be taken Il
ensure proper selections of Sunday ISchoo
| libraries. This is peculiarly i'm portant in tn
| present attitude OF our nStional affairs. w
have one good Southern book-the Bibie-W
can confidently recommend, wherever print
ed but We have not otherwise good South
ern Sunday School iiteratur 1t must
|, | necessarily, be of slow growth; and untli WI
have such literature, produced by Southern
writ ters, and published by Southern publish
! ers, every volume that passes into the hand
OF our children and youth should underg
the rigid supervision OF some competen
Sou uthern man"
