mot Approved 1.-THE basis of the Joint
Committee for the union of the Old and New
School Churches in the Old School Presbyte-
ries, has failed to receive a sufficient number
of votes to secure IT'S adoption. The New
School PreSbyteries, with one or two excep
tons, have adopted it. Most of the Old
School are in favor of union on the Standards
without modifying explanations. The New
School will probably accept this basis.
OF the members of the Joint Committee,
three have died since their appointment-Drs

The SYNOD of South Carolina

Met recently in Columbia, S C.. The South
era Presbyterian, says:
The attendance both of ministers and ell
ders was full, aud we were favored with pleas
ant weather The spirit of the brethren was
earnest aud lively, and also harmonious. The
preaching and also the discussions of the body
drew a much larger attendance of the people
than was usual here in former years. On the
whole, we do not remember having ever at

Presbytery of Chickasaw.

The PreSbytery of ChickaSaw held its fall
session at Monroe church, P0ntotOc county,
Mississippi.
Ii was perhaps the most interesting meeting
this PreSbytery has enjoyed since the war
In the first place, Monroe is the oldest
church in the Presbytery, and the first seat of
missionary efforts TO carry Presbyterianism
into this section of the country. 1t was the
church of the Rev T. C. Stuart, that veteran
whose life has been devoted TO the cause of
Christ principally among the Indians, and who
is now waiting his Masters summons home.
The brethren seemed, too, to be more fully
alive on this occasion to the Importance Of the
great work before them. There has since the
war seemed to be among many of our PreSby
teries a feeling bordering on despair The
field large and poor, the laborers few, the con
dition in which the churches found themselves
seemed to preclude all hope of building up
PreSbyterianiSm in this region. These doubts
have BEEN let US hope, completely dispelled
by the action OF the Assembly In regard TO
SuStentation. Ii seems to throw new lite into
all the movements of this portion of the
church. Presbytery took steps TO avail herself
of all the advantages of that plan at an early
day.
The report of visitors to the Female Cole
gldle lhStlVutc NJ IOutOtOc, MIS-, gave very
encouraging account of the condition of that
institution, now under the care of the Rev.
j. d. West
Presbytery adjourned to meet at Oxford
during the sessions of Synod, at the call of
the Moderator. Several questions of interest
will be considered then The following are
among the most important:
How TO secure TO the best advantage, the
exact necuDiarv ability of all churches i'm orr
bounds? What steps we shall take to secure
in the shortest time possible the services of
an evangelist in our bounds?
The next regular meeting will be held at
Ebenezer church
