ReligiOus.-An unusual interest has been

special meeting for converts and seekers
is held at G., daily. Public confession, and
sincere regret for past spiritual GOODNESS
and neglect of duty has been very freely
and generally expressed by the members of
church. Bold and deliberate declarations
have also been made also by many persons,
not Of the church, in favor of new reli-
gious life. A more thorough and deep reli-
gious feeling has seldom pervaded this COM
munity, than that now prevailing here.
