CHURCH DEDICATIoE.-T The Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church, on Court
street, between Second and Third, was
dedicated yesterday morning with appro-
pirate services by Rev. Mr.. Davis.
Shortly before the war the plans for this
church were drawn, contracts given out
and the building commenced. The roof
and flooring were hardly down, before
the work was discontinued, and after the
Federal occupation of the city the
church was seized and used as an
armory for the Second Regiment of En-
rolled Militia, When the church was
restored to its owners the congregation
went to work energotically to complete
it, and the present handsome building is
the result Of their labors. The principal
entrance to the church is surmounted by
a stone pediment with handsome dental
cornice. On each side of the entrance
are two spiral or turnpike stair cases,
which give entrance to the church proper.
The church has plain but very neat APP
pearance, and is calculated to seat over
one thousand persons. 1t is admirably
lighted with ten semi.circular topped
windows of stained glass. At the south
ern end OF the church on dais is placed
a very neat pulpit, behind which is an
elegant sofa, having on each side two
very handsome chairs covered with Grim.
son damask. The pews are elegant, and
at the same time very comfortable, all
being cushioned with the finest damask
cloth, while the aisles are covered with a
beautiful Brussels carpet. The organ
gallery is supported by six mosaic
bronzed columns, surmounted with cor
inthian capitals, and having in front a
rich and most elaborate railing neatly
bronzed. The ceiling is of the purest
white, and almost the only attempt at
ornamentation is an elaborate arch be-
hind the pulpit, which is supported by
pilasters with ornamental capitals. The
church has a chaste and neat appearance
that is most agreeable to the eye and re-
fleets credit on the minds under whose
supervision the beautiful structure has
been conceived, erected and ornamented.
