DISCOVERIES IN: PALESTINE. The explorl-
tions of the Holy Land, going on under the di-
rection of Lieut.. Warren, are attracting much
attention, in England especially, where the
funds are mostly raised for the prosecution OF
the work. At a recent meeting in London, OF
those interested, a report was made OF the
proceedings thus far; and it was stated that
Lieut.. w. had made discoveries of the utmost
importance in Jerusalem, which not only tend
ed to throw new light upon the original features
of the Temple Hill, but led to the hope that
before long sufficient data would be obtained
for forming tolerably accurate opinion upon
the various sites in the Holy City, which had
been so long matters of dispute. For the
first time the actual streets Of the ancient city
have been reached, underground passages
which have been hidden for centuries by the
mass of superintendent ruins have been
brought to light, and by degrees complicated
network OF drains and reservoirs IS being iald
bare In the valleys. by succession OF shafts,
many of them sunk to enormous depths, dis,
coveries of interest have been made with regard
to the original course and character OF valleys;

researches of Jerusalem had caused other oper-
atoms to be suspended, but several surveying
expeditions had been made and Lieut.. w. had
thoroughly surveyed the Philistine plain as tar
north as Gaza together with large tract OF
country to the southwest of Jerusalem. he
had also surveyed portions of the Jordan and
its valleys The work had been supported by
subscriptions from many classes, and, among
others, by the large and influential body OF
Freemasons, who had encouraged the attempts
being made to search out the sites of the works

FALL TRADE.-we are glad to see that
some of our merchants are already receiv-
ing their first supply OF goods for the fall
trade. The prospect of doing large BUSH
ness has not, for a long time, been more
fattering. We have been blessed with
abundant crops; and in spite of the gloom
which has spread over the State Ivy the
wretched legislation of "the powers that
be-" money appears to be forthcoming to
meet any demand which will pay for its
Investment. Prices here keep up wonder
fully in all things, especially in real estate.
Sales are being made almost daily, and
large advances given on purchases of re-
cent date. This appears somewhat strange,
but 1t is nevertheless true.
The stocks I'm the dry goods, clothing and
grocery houses here cut down to small sup
plies at the close of the season, making the
aggregate sales almost unprecedented, and
we are informed that the greatest number
of our merchants, perhaps all, will open,
the present fall season, the largest and most
complete stocks ever offered in the city, and
will make It an object for buyers through
out this whole region of Tennessee and
Southern Kentucky, to come here and get
their supplies instead Of patronizing other
places. We hope their anticipations OF a
heavy fall trade may be fully realized.

Last Friday Clarksville witnessed an ims
pressive scene. According to previous no.
tice, the remains Of Col. THos. W. BEAU
MONT, a well known and lifelong citizen
of this place, aud of Capt. GEO. Y. WILL
LIAMs, Confederate officers killed In the
battle of Chickamauga, were brought to
the city, and an immense concourse of peo-
pie assembled TO assist In the last sad cere-
monies OF their sepulture. All funerals are
sad, but this was unwontedly sad and pro-
foundly impressive. Not so much from
the brief but eloquent Grafton of Hon. Jno.
+. House, their companion in arms, though
many of his sentences, rs usual with that
noted orator, fell with thrilling effect APP
parently, upon the hearts of every one In
the densely packed audience, nor from the
solemn funeral services so alphabetically
read by Rev. Mr.. Mooney, but rather was
the impressiveness due to the thick COM
ing memories of the mighty events I'm
which the dead before us had participated,
and to the subsequent fall of the cause and
dissolution of the greet armies that upheld
1t. We could not but Remember that since
that bloody September day, 1868, on which
those gallant gentlemen fell, in presence of
whose dust we stood with reverential I'M
covered head, nearly all for which they
fought, but honor, had been lost. A con-
siderable number indeed, of the old soldiers
who fought by their sides on their last bat
tle-feld, also saw their remains committed
to the grave here in the home of their
youth. If the ways of an inscrutable Prov
idence are past finding out, and sadly nd
verse to the designs and wishes of mon,
we may yet gaze at the few melancholy
beams of light that cross them, and hope
and endure.

Ministerial Educational Aid society
O( the M. 4. Church south.

At the last session of the Tennessee An
nual Conference, of the NJ. f. Church South
held in this city in October 1857, highly i'm
portant action was taken, looking to the
organization of a Parent or Conference So
ciety, and of Auxiliary District Societies,
the object of which should be, to afford pc
cuniary aid to young men, in order TO their
obtaining an education, preparatory to the
work of the itinerant ministry, i'm the NJ.
r. Church South. 's sh~ 4 -
On Thursday the 9th ult., pursuant to
notice, the subscribers in the GAINESVILLE
District, met at the office of C. G.. Smith
Esq, the Presiding Elder, Rev. II. z. Ran
som, in the chair, ana organized n District
Society, under the title which heads this
article, and elected Its officers for the next
Conference year. s-.
BY the action OF the Conference under
which this Society was organized the use
of all the funds collected by the Society,
was restricted to the single object, ofdefray-
ing, the actual educational expenses, OF
candidates for the 1tinerant Ministry, of
the NJ. T.. Church. At this, the first meet
ing, one applicant for aid was received, ms
beneficiary of the Society, and provision
was made for his education.
All applicants for aid must he recommended
by the Presiding Elder and the quarterly
Conference of the Circuit or Station OF
which they are members.
All members of the Tennessee Annual
Conference are "cx-ofiicio" members OF
this Society-othcr persons may become
| members by the payment OF ten dollars an.
nually and life members may be constitu,
tuted by their giving their notes for one hun.
dred dollars each, payable in ten annual in
stalments of ten dollars each. This action
on the part of the NJ. T.. Church South in
our midst is certainly a step in the right
direction and deserves the hearty support
of all Its membership as well as of al
others who feel an interest in its advance
ment and success.
