The MONEY PANIC.

Chicago, Nov. PA New York special
says there was an improved tone in all the
markets at the opening, but afterwards it
was reported chat the backs were large
creditors at the clearing house, which was
accepted as another indication of greenbacks
looking up, and everything declined. and
there was an increased press ure to sell in all
directions. There is feeling Of great un>
easiness in regard to the future. Markets
are influenced by every rumor-it being
known that it is in the power of the COM,

Correspondence confirms the report that
Puerto has risen in revolt, and five war
vessels have been ordered to depart immed-

prominent leader of the rebels is believed
to have gone to Seward to urge the exped-

The government authorities in Havana are

REPORT ON :ouuncu L1rEa..runE. !.

REPORT ON CHURCH LITERATURE.
Tho committee to whom was referred tho
subjects of church literature, unanimously con-
cur in the opinion, that it is a matter of grave
Importance, not only to the advancement but
also to the very existence ofathc church, Sc
cond only to the ministry oftho word, as an
agency in propagating the doctrines Of the
gospel and in spreading scripturai holiness over
these lands. We believe that the Bible con-
tains all things necessary to salvation, and
should be carefully read and pray orfully studied
above al other books, for '.'All scripture is
given BY inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrnc for rcproof, for corrections for in
structon in Righteousness; there is, notwith-
standing, some means wanting, by which its
doctrines may be illustrated, its rcproofs ad-
mistcrcd its ,e corrections applied, and its in
structions impaired and enforced, so as to pro-
ducc holiness and uprightness in the heart and
life of the unregencratc and, 20 as tho '.Thc
man of God may be perfect, thoroughly fur.
nshcd unto every good word and work" 1t
is true, that this want is in a very great meas
urc supplied by the preaching of the gospel,
for it hath pleased God by the foolslncss of
preaching to save some" Yet to facilitate its
blessed Instructions and the accomplishment
of its sublime ends, wc regard a sanctifcd
literature almost if if not altogether, indispcn-
sable. We arc happy to state that we have
such al, agency within our midst. We have
had books'and periodicals within the reach Of
all, and they may be, by proper cxortion, seat
tered broadcast over all tho land. For n list
Of our books published, we would refer you to
the general catalogue sent out by the book
agent at Nashville Tennessee
We heartily recommend the Southern Chris-
tan idcocate, our own Conference organ, pub

patronage. II ought to be in every family,
destined as it is to do good work wherever it
