| We are in receipt of a circular from Rev.
James MITCHELL pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in Richmond, with very strong
| Endorsements by Governor Peirpoint and Judge
Underwood setting forth, the great need of a
church edi6ce for our denomination in that city
forcibly observes that it becomes absolutely nec-
essary to occupy the great centres of influence
once held by us in the South !; for no seeding
branch of Methodism can do the work of the
parent body or carry an independent and I'M
trammeled gospel to the families of the land
This has become matter of painful experience.
! Governor Peirpoint remarks: 'There is great
need of the church building above referred to
it is one of the necessities of the times at this
point. The spirit of the southern pulpit is
thoroughly disloyal, active in the propagandism
that the lost cause may be regained by the de-
struction Of Republican government in this
country. Iregard the establishment of loyal
churches throughout the South as the great
means of counteracting this influence.
And Judge Underwood Enthusiastically
says: :,
"The fashionable pulpits of this city have all
been false to their trust and to the claims of
humanity, and as natural result the general
conscience is almost parayzed. Poverty and
sin abound"
Quite independent of these political and
social considerations, or placing them in posi-
ton altogether secondary, we are fully satisfied
that our Church has mission in the South
and especially in such a place as Richmond
which should not be left unfulflled, and for the
accomplishment of that work at that place,
suitable house of worship is necessary Mr.
Mitchell, therefore, appeals for material aid, -
which, we trust, will not be withheld NeU
York Christian Adrocate
We are surprised that Governor Peirpoint
derwood, of course, is always ready to SANDER
any man in Virginia. He is an alien.-Dis-

TO THE PLANTERS OF VIRGINIA.

In our present condition, when so much is de-
pendent upon the result of crops, a matter
which deserves the earnest consideration of our
planters is: How they may best get their land
into such condition as to bring large crops, and
also permanently improve it. Now Peruvian
Guano is SO very high in price as to be almost out
of reach, and some substitute must be obtained.
There are many articles in the market which pur-
port to be Peruvian Guano substitutes. bnt very
little is known of them, and the only way in
which the matter can be decided is to buy only
those articles which have been tried and found
valuable by actual test.
One of these is advertised in another column
e'Baughs Raw Bone Phosphate, I" and from the
high character of the gentlemen who are agents
for it in this county, we feel hesitation in adj
vising our planters to give it a trial upon their
wheat the approaching season, if only to limited
extent; they will then be convinced of its value.
It has been very largely used in our sister State,
Maryland, for six years past, and since the war
it has been introduced into this State, and the
experiments made with it are resulting most adj
anirably, and we believe it to be what is claimed
for it, a valuable and reliable Peruvian Guano
Substitute" asa3 gee --s7 ttls 4s@ 4

A New Medical DispensatiOn.

The dark ages of medication now draw to a
close. Two great specifies are superseding all the
stereotyped and hackneyed nostrums of the age.
Dr. Maggiers Pills and Salve, by their extraor-
binary cures have opened the eyes of the public
to the ineficiency of the (so-called remedies up
on which they have so long blindly depended
MaggePs Pills are not of the class that are swal-
lowed by the dozen or the score and Of which
every box taken begets an absolute necessity for
another! One, or at most, two or three of Maggi-
ELS Pills, sufices to place the bowels in good con-
dition tone the stomach, create an appetite, and
render the spirits light and buoyant
There is no gripping and no reaction in the form
of constipation. If the liver is affected its func
tons are restored and regulated. If the nervous
system is feeble, it is invigorated. Ulcerous and
eruptive diseases reliteraly extinguished by the
disinfectant power of Maggiel's Salye. Invalids
who are wise enough to try these pure and pow
erful vegetable preparations will infallibly rec
ommend them, discarding as comparatively val
ueless every other Pill and Salve in existence
In fact, it will be found that MAGGIEL's BILIOUS,
DYsPEPTIC and DIARRHGA PILLS cure where
all others fail While for Burns, Scalds, Chill
blains, Cuts, and all abrasions Of the skin, Mag
giers Salve is infallible.
Sold by j. HAYDOCK, II Pine street, New
York, and all Druggists, at Is cents per box.
"COUNTERFEITs buy no MaggiePs Pills or
Salve with a little pamphlet inside the box. They
are bogus. The genuine have the name Of j.
Haydock on the box with the name of J. Maggi-
ell, M. D. The genuine have the Pills surround
ed with white powder" july2-to feb19
