A WEEK OF Y

We hope the Church will bear in
mind the following appointment
suggested by our Bishop in the late
pastoral address,. For some weeks
we will publish this notice, so that
none may forget it, and that ample
and suitable arrangements may be
made in reference to it:
1--WE propose that Friday, 10th
of August next, b~eobserved in all our
churches as a day of fasting, humill-
alton and prayer-that God would
be pleased to pour out his Spirit up
O n us and upon all flesh; that he
would show us our sins and help us,
by a true repentance, TO turn away
from them ; that he would send forth
laborers into his harvest, who may
serve him more faithfully and eli
GENTLY than we have done; that he
would build up the Church and
comfort her waste places; that Inc
would grant us all those blessings
temporal and spiritual, we have need
of. And we further propose thai
this day Of Especial fasting and prayer
be preceded, wherever practicable, by
religious exercises, begun on thu
previous Sabbath and continued day
hy dav till the Sabbath following

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-We have now bad
more than three weeks Of warmth and sun
shine, relieved at intervals of three or four
days By showers of rain in the different parts
Of the county. The farmers are rejoicing in
the prospect Of full crops and PlethOric cribs,
and everybody else pArtakes of their cheer
fulness, for the prosperity of all classes de-
ponds upon the success Of the planter.
Cotton is doing well, and the freedmen are
working faithfully, as a general thing. As
many Of them are working on shares, the
heart Of 'sambo' is much lifted up.
Our exchanges from all parts of the State
speak cheerfully in relation to the crops.
P. s. Since the above was in type We have
had . succession Of heavy rains.

interesting particulars will be found

fate of the Mexican Republic. Mex

NOTES ON THE SITUATIoN.-We
commence to-day the publication of
avery able series Of articles from the
pen of Hon. II. HILL, Of Georgia,
against the adoption of the Recon
struction plan of Congress. 1t is
unnecessary for us to speak in terms
of cOmmendation of this distinguish
ed Georgian. The fact that he bas
been regarded, for many years, as
one of the leading men of his State,
is sufficient proof that he is OF no
small calibre. He has always rank
ed with such men as Stephens,
looms, Jenkins, Johnston, etc.
AS none of Our own prominent men
are now discussing the question of
of Reconstruction, we hope the argu,
ment of Mr.. Hill will be generally
read.

On Friday evening, 28th ult., the Sabbath
School of the Methodist church, under the
suherintendencc of Rev. c., g. Andrews, gave
a very pleasant and interesting entertain
ment, which was largely attended. The Sc
~lections from scripture, the original speeches
and dialogues, the hymns and poetry, which
made up the programme for the evening,
were appropriate, and we'll recited, delivered
and sung. Seldom have we seen m audi
ence so much pleased as the one assembled
on this occasion. We cannot make any in
vidious distinctions, but must be pardoned
for abiding specially to the Rainbow band
"The Beatitudes~ which won the admira-
ton of all bcholders... The stage was well
fitted up and tastefully decorated, and the
entire arrangements and exhibition were
highly creditable to the Superintendent, the
School, and all concerned.
The chaste and appropriate Address deliv'
cred to the School by Mr.. Il. P. Webster
which elected encomiums from all present
will be found in our columns this morning
Sunday. school celebrations are events o
peculiar interest to the scholars, and to thu
youth generally, and the pleasing remem
brance of them often fingers.
May the Methodist Sunday.school of Can
tcn live and flourish " like Il green bay tree
and may each recurring spring witness 4
celebration by its teachers and scholars nc
less interesting and imposing than the one
just passed.

CHoLERA.-We learn from the Vicksburg
Times that several fatal cases Of this disease
nave occurred in that city.
As the I" sickly season" is setting in, aud
there are some unmistakable indications that
there will be more than the usual amount OF
sickness this summer, it behooves all per-
sons 10 exercise more than ordinary
care as to what they eat and drink, and to
avoid, as much as possible, exposure to the
sun. Our citizens should look well, also, to
their premises, and keep them free from eve
rsthing calculated to engender disease
From certain odors with which the breezes
are laden, we much fear the sanitary condi-
lion Of our city is not as good as it should
be. Let us remember hat "an ounce of
preventive is better than q pound of cure"

THE FRUIT CRop.-Accustomed as we are,
generally, at this season of the year, to be
luxuriating in a bountiful supply of the most
luscious plums, and now and then to revel
in the enjoyment of the early variety of that

and peaches" that were wont to fit before
our mental eye, will be visions still

" peach cobbler," with its saccharine satura'
tons, is a shadow, and the substance is not.
A few apples are all that we have, and we
have not yet seen a specimen of this fruit so
tempting to the eye as to excuse our mater
nal parent for that terrible first faa1 pas.
We much fear that that excellent beverage
made famous in the days of "Tippecanoe
and Tyler, too" will be rather scarce the
present summer. The failure of the fruit
crop is a great deprivation, and we fear its
absence will be detrimental to the health of

throw down the gauntlet to all true Knights;'
of course it will be taken up by many gallant

much fine jo'i sting and a joyful time general
" is anticipated. In the evening there Will
be a grand ball, and it is expected thai the
youth and beauty of Madison and adjacent
counties will grace the occasion with their
presence. A fine band oc music will be on
hand throughout the day, to %enliven and lend
enchantment to the scene. All in all, it will
be a gay time, and on no account should any
one stay away who can possibly attend.
