MEETING OF PRESIDING ELDERS
The Presiding Elders of the Indiana
Conference met at Greencastle on
Tuesday, the 18th inst. All were
present except Rev. j. NJ. Green,
whose prior engagements detained
him elsewhere. The missionary as
sessment on the Conference was ap-
portioned the respective districts.
Measures were adopted favorable to
reunion of the four Conferences of
Indiana next Fall. A Sunday School
Convention was called pursuant to'a
resolution passed at the last session

the Conference were presented, and
free interchange of views was had
upon the various interests of the
Church.

A paragraph in the Advocate re-
ports revival on the Poseyville Cir
cult at Stewartsville and Beech
Grove:
Another meeting began at Beech
Grove, Saturday before New Years,
and continued two weeks. At the
first meeting only four persons were
present, but the brethren went forth
in the spirit of Israel's God, and the
result was that fifty-eight joined the
Church on trial. 1t was time of
great power. One night there were
thirty persons at the altar, and others
were back in the congregation crying
for mercy. Many were heads of fam
lilies, and will be a great help to the
Church. Some fine young men and
women joined; from the old, gray
headed father and mother down to the
little boy and girl.

IERRIBLE REFRIBUTION correspond
ent of the Santa; Clara Mercary, who has
known the late John r. Ridge for many years,
furnishes the following in a brief sketch of the
life of Ridge. He says:
1t is generally known that Mr.. Ridge was
the son of the distinguished Cherokee Chief
who was deposed by John Ross, and was MUIR
dered in the following war. Thirty-six. ruff
fans, siding with the Ross party, surrounded
Major Ridges house, in the night, and having
called him to the door, shot and stabbed him
to death, after the manner of savage warfare
The subject Of this article, then. mere child
escaped from the house, hid in the weeds and
finally eluded their pursuit. When, about sew
enteen years of age, the boy, true to the in
stincts of his race, which had not been SUBJ
dued by civilization, went upon the war path
as the avenger of his fathers murder. The
writer of this had good reason to believe that
OF the thirty-six persons engaged in the assas-
sination of Major Ridge, thirty two fell by the
hand OF his son; whose sturdy arm has so re-
Gently become nerVeess in death. Some were
killed in hand-to-hand street fights, one or two,
we believe, in duels, and others were found
dead on the highway, after the manner of John
Brown In Kansas one way and another the
h0micides disappeared from the world until
the few survivors fled from the Cherokee Ma
ton, and Ridge himself was pursued by troop
of horsemen four hundred miles through the
Indian territory towards California.

HIGH PRICRS.

There has been much complaint that
the prices Of produce and al articles Of
prime necessity, such as are used in fami-
lies, still hold up Notwithstanding the un-
precedented crops which have been grown
and harvested in all parts Of the country.
Many people are looking to see prices come
down to their former level before the war,
and because this Is not at once realized
they grow impatient and conclude that
something is very wrong somewhere. We
shall do well to consider that while our
great debt remains, and consequent taxa.
ton to meet our national liabilities, prices
Of all produce and merchandise must hold
high place. II our National debt, with
the interest, is ever paid, it must be met
by the means which labor and toll shall
create. Every bushel Of corn and Of wheat
in short, everything which the labor and
industry Of man shall produce, must con.
tribute to raise the required means to meet
this constant demand upon the Govern.
ment While the large crops will con.
tribute TO considerable extent to cheaper
the necessaries and many Of the luxuries
Of life, still we cannot expect old prices
till we have rid ourselves of the National
debt.

Mexican Affairs.

We take the following summary Of Mexi-
can news from the New York Herald. 1t
contains the substance OF the Heraids
later news. That paper says:
"0ur Mexican advices by the way Of
Havana, August 8, state that MARQUEE
had been found in the capital and Santa
Anna had been conveyed to Vera Cruz.
Our letters from the city Of Mexico are
dated July 20. The reception Of Juarez
at his capital was grand ovation. He
issued proclamation congratulating the
people on the return Of peace and the
great victory "won by the good sons Of
Mexico battling alone without resources
or the assistance OF any one." Tejada, The
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, in a speech
at banquet on the occasion, highly eulo-
gized the example Of the United States,
and spoke Of the war in Mexico as last
ing lesson to two classes. the clergy and
the great proprietors. Madame Jaurez
and her party arrived at the capital on the
25th ult Strong efforts are being made
to save General O'Horan from the SEN
tence Of death, as he had been uniformly
kind to Americans in the city and to the
citizens generally during the ferocious
reign Of Marquez. Salm Salm was in
prison at the capital, and would probably
be shot, as he had incautiously shown a
commission as general, although he only
served as colonel. General Escobedo's
doctor has heavy claim for embalming
Maximilian's body, and it is said to be
held for payment.

Return OF rosrsmstcf General

Randall.
When Postmaster General RANDALL
lelt this city for New York on Friday Of
last week he had arranged to be absent
one month, with the intention Of proceed
ing to Scotland TO join his wife, having
learned indirectly that she and her servant
were both sick. Upon reaching New
York, much to his satisfaction, we are
glad to announce, he learned directly that
Mrs. RANDALL had recovered from her
illness. In view Of this fact and the
necessary demand Of the public business
in his Department, Gov. RANDALL aban-
doned his idea Of going to Scotland him
sell, and dispatched a relative to join Mrs.
r. and accompany her back to this coun-
try in September, and returned himself to
this city on Monday and assumed the
duties Of his Office. We have the highest
authority for saying that the statement in
the New York Commercial Advertiser, ol
the 18th instant, that "Gov. RANDALL will
probably resign In view Of general break
up Of the Cabinet, and then proceed on hi
European journey" is in whole and in al
It's parts without foundation in truth
