~ From the Church Journal Nov 30

V.
The Presiding Bishops tour to Louisiana
and Kentucky was OF more than common i'm
portance in many points Of view. 1t was the
first time that any Presiding Bishop had been
requested to travel to such great distance 10
the personal performance of his duty as Conse-
orator; and in both cases there was an earnest
request for his presence both from the bishop
elect and from the standing committee OF the
diocese. Theu again, it was the first visit Of
any OF our bishops, sioce the war, to any of the
Gulf dioceses, and might thus be we'll regarded
as the visible realization Of the restored union
of the Church. It was received with the most
generous warmth and with an overhoWing
cordiality which touched him deeply, but the
details of which it would hardly be in good
taste to spread before the public. Every
where churchmen seem disposed to thank God
and take courage, and are awake to the glorious
opportunity Of the Church now 50 visible to
all sides.
The one great drawback is the want ofmeans
and men, The failure of both the corn and
cotton crops through large regions ofthe South
make the pecuniary prOStratlon deeper than
ever. Wide fields OF blighted corn and stunted
and dried.up cotton met the eye on every side.
Here and there we're ruins of the War-low
brick pillars on which extensive buildings once
rested, which have lett only a few charred
fragments behind Jackson, Mississippi, is
partly yet a mass Of ruins, and the church site
stands empty Of all but grass and the old rusty
iron furnace standing out alone IN the weather.
We heard nota disoyal word from white man,
and not disrespectfu word from colored
man, during the whole trip; and the city OF
New Orleans is so quite and orderly that ladies
of the highest standing walk alone in the
streets after dark without escort. But every
where the greatest exertious are being made to
repair the ravages of war, and restore the 10
errupted industries OF peace ;and every passing
day helps the good work We earnestly beg
all our friends every where, to respond, with
all the ability in their power to every appeal
from the South aud the Southwest, and that
not for spiritual needs only.

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.

In the address delivered by Mr.. Garrett, the
President of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R., at
the last meeting of the Board of Directors, we
find the following, in relation to tie railroad In
this State: .-, ... ..... .....
''Iu an address upon similar occasion, a
year since, had the honor to present to this
board views in reference to the importance OF
a line of railway from Harper's Ferry throug gh
the Valley Of Virginia, to connect with the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad, and thence,
by the connections Of that road, through the
intermediate States to New Orleans 1t WAS
understood that these views received the sane
ton of this board and of this con munty.-
The large population in he great and fertile
regions which would be so tavorahy affected
by this improvement failed 70 secure such
legislation at the last scs ion OF the Legislature
of Virginia as would induce the necessary
investment of capita in this enterprise. The
entire population of the valley, and the regions
that would be so vastly benefited by a work
of this magnitude and importance, are intense
ly anxious for successful result.
In intercourse with the leading citizens OF
that great State who desired to confer OF this
subject, yonr executive has informed them
that as the Baltimore and Ohio company has
before it enterprises which are abs0rbing, and
will more than absorb, all the means it can
command, yet, if the State Of Virginia should
desire the aid Of its capital, and Of capitalists
who might be Influenced 10 their investments
by this company, it will be gratitcd to CO.
operate in promoting the restoration OF the
prosperity of that State, by developing, as
undoubtedly would be the case, the manutac-
turing, the mining and the agricultural lnter-
ests of the extensive regions which would be
affected hv The nrosecution Of this work.
