PRICE REDUCED.

The following announcement is made
in regard to the price of the Central
Presbyterian:
l. To New SUBSCRIBERS, Three DOL
lars a year, payable in advanee. Pay
ments made within the first tooO months
from date of subscription, will be consid-
cred in advance.
?. -Four Dollars year, if payment is
not made within two months.
3. After the close Of the present vOl-
uae, in July next, the price to all sab
seri6ers will be reduced as above.
4. To ministers of the Gospel, their
widows, and to candidates for the minis
try the price is Three Dollars.
The offers for those obtaining subscribers
are as liberal as any paper can give, and it
is hoped they will be embraced by many,
both for their own benefit and for ours.
Inasmuch as the volume does not close till
in July, and nearly all the names on our list
begin with that date, it would be without pro-
fit to most, and inconvenient to us to make
the new terms operative till that time, except
to new subscribers.
Thrust be distinctly understood that to those
who do not see proper to secure either for
themselves or for US the benefit of payment IN
adraRce, Four DOLLARS will be mv0riaby
charged and it is expected that no one will on
any account, whether paying month or day
too late, ask that just rule should be In
fringed, which if broken for one, may as well
be broken for all

whilst the other 700 have persisted in Crete
either by sickness or wounds.
The Turkish authorities are resorting to the
atrOcious measure of recruiting their army
from the Christians of the island, compelling
those who have kept aloof from the revolt to
enter the service, and to fight against theil
own countrymen and defenders. The Chris
tians in Kissamos, unwilling to endure this
cruel service, are seeking transportation fol
themselves and their families to other homes
others are showing their willingness to unite
with the rebels, at the sacrifice OF all their in.
terests, rather than, according to the diaboli
cal scheme of the Turkish government
stain their hands with the blood of theil
brethren.
Such is the state of affairs in the Western
department of the island; in the East the PEG
pie are plunged in grief at the death of theil
General the heroic Hercules Kokkinides.
On the End of March, between and 4
clock, not far from the temple of Hercules al
Gazi, this hero fell MORALLY wound by Turk
ish bullet, showing by his death that Greece
has not ceased to be the mother of brave men
Crete and all Greekdom will mourn the fate Of
this intrepid and renowned Cretan, whose glo
ry will live immortal in our history.
The head of Hercules, severed from hi.
body, after 1t had fallen into the enemy
hands, was carried in triumph through th'
town of Herakleion; the body itself was thrown
into the fire, whence it was pulled by the wor
thy son of the barbarous Rhesid, attached tt
his horses tail, and dragged through thu
streets Of the city.
On the same day, another battle was Tough
near the villages of Skoteinos and Goubes b.
the Brgadiers Triphopoulos and Emanue
Kranotakes. Here the latter was struck b.
bullet and killed, whilst fighting valianty 70
his native land.
Whilst the arms bearing men Of Crete ar
thus fighting and falling heroically for thei
country and their religion, their wives, thei
mothers, and their children, along the coast
of the island are perishing far and wide, iron
the pangs Of starvation.

The committee on Domestic Missions were
directed to inquire into the practicability Of
employing an evangelist to labor within the
bounds of Presbytery, and, if the way be clear,
to employ some suitable person as such evan
gelist.
The recommendations of Synod on the sub
iect of Ministerial Support, &C., were adopted.
On notion, it was
Resolred That the churches within the
bounds of PresbStery are hereby required to
report to the next stated meeting whether or
not they have conformed to the article in the
Form of Government requiring the election Of
Deacons as an integral feature in complete
Presbyterial organization, and in cases of de-
linquency in this particular, to show cause for
such failure.
Rev. r. S. Bell and T. s. Witherow were
appointed to supply Washington church as
often as practicable until the next meeting of
Presbytery. Rev. L. B. Bach to supply
Greenwich church, and other pastors and stated
supplies to preach at least one Sabbath to some
vacant church, or at some point where the
building up of new organization seems prac-
ticable.
On motion, it was
Resolred, That the resolution of General
Assembly upon mental culture, referred to the
Presbyteries, meets the hearty approval OF
this Presbytery.
William O. Robay, licentiate, was examined
in part with reference to his ordination, if the
way be clear, when, on notion his examina-
ton was suspended, and he was directed to
place himself under the supervision Of Rev.
J. w. Lupton, in the farther prosecution of
his studies.
Rev. j. T. Leftwich and A. d. Pollock were
appointed a committee to confer with Patapsco
Presbytery in reference to an union Of that
Presbytery with Rappahannock, or, failing in
that, to prepare suitable memorial to Synod
in reference to the enlargement of our Presby-
terial Bounds. &C. JOHN w. PUGH,
Stated Clerk.

Still the individual members of that secular
body would govern all their acts, personal and
corporate, by the general principles of Chris
tan conscience. For instance, true Christian
men form society to mine Goals. They all
desire to honor Christ and save the souls OF
men, But they have found by long and sure
experience that the attempt to discriminate In
favor of Christianity or Christian hirelings, In
their bylaws, has done unmingled mischiefs,
by opening strife, by encouraging hypocrisy
and sycophancy; by driving away useful and
faithful agents They have concluded that
the most Christian plan is to disconnect their
society from such objects, and attempt, as a
society, nothing but the lawful, righteous and
useful mining and sale of Goals. Is it therefore
an anti Christian society? Yet each one OF
the members, both when voting in the society,
and when acting as separate person, is guided
by his Christian conscience.
Such is a free Christian commonwealth.
