AMERICAN TRACT SoCIETY-THREE
MONTHS WoRK.-Mr. 7. L. D. Walford, the
Superintendent and Depositary of the
Richmond Agency Of the American Tract
Society, furnishes us with an interesting
statement of the work accomplished by
that organization during the quarter ending
September 1, 1869. The Jurisdiction Of the
Richmond Agency extends over all the
south Atlantic States, with headquarters
in this city,
The Society has had at work during the
quarter sixty-five colporteurs, selected from
the people among whom they labored, re-
commended by local ministers, and repre-
senting all the different Protestant evangeli-
cal denominations OF these there were
twenty-siX in Virginia, twenty flour in North
Carolina, eight in Georgia, one in Alabama,
and one in Florida. Eight Of those in Vir-
ginia and six in North Carolina were theo-
logical students, who take advantage Of the
summer vacation to engage In the good
work, The aggregate time Of labor by these
c0lporteurs is computed to be one hundred
and twenty months and twenty-one days.
During the three months religious litera-
ture valued at 50, 744.92 was circulated. The
sales amounted to 4,512.0S, and the value
of the publications gratuitously circulated
was 81 ,S56.24. The colporteurs organized
and aided over 300 Sabbath schools, held
1,2G2 meetings for public worship, and there
were about / 800 conversions under their
ministry. They found 3,1O7 families entirely
destitute Of religious books, 1910 families
destitute of the Word of God, and 1901
families who habitually neglect church SER
vices. The whole number Of families visited
was 210,5E, and q good word for religion
was spoke at nearly every visit.
This statement shows a large Increase in
the number of colporteurs employed, fami-
lies visited, etc, and affords pleasing evil
dence Of the efficiency and activity OF the
agents of the Society.

ENGINES FOR THE SoUTH.-We noticed, a
few days since, forty horsepower engine
and saw-mill, of improved design and ele-
CANT finish, from the extensive establish
ment of Messrs. William Z. Tanner & Co.,
of this city, loaded on flat at the depot of
the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com
pany, and way-billed to A. l.. Maxwell,
GrisWoldville, Ga. The engine stood upon
wheels, and was as complete an affair as we
ever saw of the kind. 1t must be cause
for congratulation that the work of our
Richmond establishments should be of such
a character as to attract attention from this
great distance, and that our great railroad
thoroughfare rid East Tennessee can afford
to transport machinery S2l miles (without
change of cars) as cheaply as it could be sent
to same point by water Uia Savannah, AM
thence 1S1 miles by rail.
