SOLDIERS AT SAVANNAH are eager for
Tracts and Testaments,- and religious pa
pers, and Chaplains state that every facility
and encouragement in their lebOrs is given
by the officers. In large battalion sta
toned near the City few pious men COM
menced prayer-meeting, and soon large
numbers attended and the Holy Spirit is
evidently at work in many hearts. Some of
the chaplains hold nightly meetings, NOV
ing them to different parts Of the encamp-
ment, that all may be invited to attend.

CTuB.sUBSCRIBERS.

After = qoodsdeal Of deliberation we have
concluded to discontinue for the present the
plan of subscription by clubs. The main
reasons are:-
/ The price of 81 is lower than we can
rrbbsb our present half sheet. Let any one
only think Of the enormous advance in the
cost of every thing belonging to the pub
LEGATION of a newspaper, and also in the cost
of living.
oDerotion The terms were that 81 should
be pad strictly in advance. This was not
often complied with.
We have been unwilling to increase the
priee Of the Central Presbyterian and can
see no fairer way of relieving our necessities
then BY making it equal to all. Surely there
can be no Just ground of complaint against
this In all cases where club-subscriberS
have already paid 10 advance for the next
wear. either directly to this Office, or to the
usual agent, their account will stand as SET
tied. Those who have not paid at the date
of receiving the paper containing this no
tice will be expected to pay according to
the advertised terms, $3.50 in advance So
if not paid within six months. 10 Agents
who may be so kind as to make collections
the same allowance viii be made as form
erly.
The Norh Carolina Presbyterian, we Gnd'
has abolished the plan of clubs, andintro-
duced the cash system. We hope in due
time to fail into it. No merchant would ever
think of conducting his business upon a
scheme which would leave on his books little
deoss of 81 so, scattered over circumfer-
euce of hundreds Of miles. The cash plan
is the fai, est and easiest all around, and 1t
is we'll that it is fast becoming the common
one.

Another Minister Called Home.

Rev. JAMES NJ. WILSON, died in Arkan-
sas, on the 8th Of September, 1862, in the
And year of his age.
After preaching in one of his churches on
the 9TH, on his return home his horse be-
came alarmed and ran away, and threw him
from his buggy with great violence. He was
taken MP quite insenaible, Physicians we're
soon with him, and al that skill and affec-
ton could do, was done for him, bat in vain
He closed his mortal life on the following
day.
His funeral was preached by the Rev.
Mr.. Moore, to his two weeping congrega-
tons. A minister and neighbor who was at
the funeral says: alt has never been my
privilege to see such devotion to o pastor
becotten in so short a time. IL had scarcely
been six months since he began his minis
try among them, and yet in that short space
he had won for himself the respect of the
world around him aud the tenderest affec-
ton of the members of his churches. He
was much encouraged in his work, and we
all fondly hoped he was laying the foupda-
ton of work of widespread and lasting
usefulness sin his Masters cause"
Thus has this minister, in the mysterious
providence of God, been called away from
his labors in the church below, in the MIDST
Of bis days, and from the BRIGHTEST pro-.
facta OF usefulness. iBat however dark 81
US this event may be, He who ordered It, %
infinitely wise and good. What He does Is
best.
He has left an aged father end many rel
atiyes and friends to mourn their loss, ana
three little children, now orphans indeed
without father or mother. May these dear
little ones, find fether, in their iather S
and mothers God.

PROVIDING SUCCESSORS.

Who are to preach the Gospel to the next
generation ? : ThOse who have long pro-
claimed 1t are passing away, exchanging the
cross for their crown. What is to become
of our churches; whence its ministry to be
derived9 This is momentous question
now, and will, after little, press upon us
with still greater weight. We shall have
great destitutions. How are they to be
provided forl Many of our choice young
brethren have already fallen; all of our
theological students, it is believed, are in
the army except two. We now refer to
Union Seminary. Our churches must ex-
pect to lose many more of those to whom
they looked as their future pastors. What
are we to do7
Among the many duties arising out of
this condition, and this prospect, there is
one to which we would call attention.
Why may not every minister of the Gospel
set himself upon the search for at least one
young nan of piety and promise, whose
case he will earnestly watch over, and be
the means of bringing forward for the work
of the ministry. Let US provide successors.
We shall soon be called hence. We need
those to come after us who shall be more
efficient laborers than we have been. Let
Us d0@ in our power to train them up for
tao vast acrk our Southern church must
undertake. VIII our brethren of the miu-
istry adopt this idea, which may without Of
fence be claimed as the true scheme of
.4pos,olicaL succession2 1t has to our mind
the recommendation of great simplicity,
power of expansion, safety and efficiency.
And ought not every Christian to be
training up those who shall fill the place
left vacant by him when he is called home
Next to the pursuit Of personal holiness,
and in fact most intimately connected with
it, and one Of the most important we can
engage in, is that of fitting others, by the
blessing of God, to work in his vineyard.
Those who are blessed with pecuniary abun-
dance may help many young man of no
bic heart and mind to do good on large
scale. Many a.Christian merchant is thus
preaching the Gospel now by proxy, to his
fellow-men, at home and abroad.

A REVIVAL. The Presbyterian church
in Clinton, n. c., in charge Of Rev. G NJ.
Gibbs, has just received precious visitation
of the holy Spirit. Rev. r. J. Graves, of
Orange, madeus 6 visit after the meeting
of Synod, and preached series Of ten SER
mons, beginning on the first Sabbath Of the
month.
The results of the meeting will be fully
known only in the eternal world; but, with
our limited ability to enumerate them, they
may be summed up thus About thirty
hopeful conversions, among the youth Of
the congregation proper and others from
abroad. The Institute Of Prof. Graves has
shared the blessing in large measure. The
heart Of this faithful instructor and deyout
Christian is thus cheered by seeing his dear
pupils, for whose spiritual. as well as intel
Iectual advancement, he has been patiently
toiling and praying, brought to the Saviour.
Many families of the village have been
visited by the Spirit; and the parent who
has for years hoped and prayed, when hea-
ven seemed to shut out the prayer, is now
rejoicing over the children of those fond
hopes and earnest prayers, brought to saw
ing knowledge of the truth.
