pointInent from the Evangelical Knowl
/ edge Society "a Low Church of which
Rev. Mr.. Tying is prominent member,)
Ito lecture in its behalf, and was invited
u Rev. Mr.. Cheney, Rector of Christ's
Church, to occupy his pulpit. Bishop
Nhitehouse, whose sympathies are not
t all with the Evangelical knowledge
<ociety, hearing of this, wrote to Bishop
ummins that he thought it would be
active of trouble if be came in this
diocese on his mission, and while he was
welcome to occupy pulpit as Bishop,
he desired he would not come in the ca
pacity of an agent of the society. Dr.
Cummins, however, came and delivered
in Christs Church, to a crowded au
dience, powerful address, on 'The Re
formation of the Sixth Century, in which
he took strong Low church grounds.
He made strong point on the argument
against the use of the word "priest," as
applied to a christian minister, aud, il is
understood, defends his course in com
ing into the diocese against the wishes of
the Bishop, on the grounds that he came
not as such, is entitled to accept the in
Vitation of the rector. to minister in his
parish.
In the morning DR.. Cummins preached
in Trinity Church, Of which he was
formerly Rector, on the Unity of Chris
tiaus, taking broad and liberal grounds,
and arguing that the prayer of Christ
- that they may be one'' had been an
swered, although Christians were divided
into different seets.
The Standing Committee of the Church
took action previous to the arrival of Dr.
Cummins and coincided with Bishop
Whitehouse in his stand on the subject
There is no doubt that the present diff
Guilty will be referred to the Bishops for
settlement.

b. request we copy he following, which
appeared in a recent number of the Little
Rock Gazette:
Editors Little R0ek Gazette:
In view Of the fact that there viii be
convention of those Interested in railroads
in our city on the lOth, it might be wen to
call The attention of our citizens TO the
different enterprises now before US, and
the prospects Of success: a:su7
l. 1t Is known that The Memphis and
Little Rock Railroad Company have au-
thority, by charter, to construct branch
road from some point on their line
west of White river to Pine Bluff,
the point of intersection TO be Sc
lected and established BY said COM
pany. At preliminary meeting held at
Pine Bluff, in April, resolution was
adopted requesting the company TO locate
their branch from Duvall's Bluff, on White
river Al a meeting recently held at DO-
nOke station, in Prairie county few days
since, they unanimously requested the
company to make that the point of inter
section, in accordance with survey made
by the people of Pine Bluff in 1860, and
they promise large subscriptions in case
this is made the point of junction. They
have sent delegates to our convention who
win properly represent this interest.
They urge strong financial reasons for this
location. SO far as Pine Bluff is con-
cerned, it makes but little difference which
point is selected, so we make the con-
nexion somewhere, we win be satisfied.
We leave this whole matter to the wisdom
of the company who will build the road.
Il is absolutely necessary TO have this road
completed to secure our prosperity, and
we think it win pay better in the way of
trade to the city of Memphis, than the
main line to Little Rock, for the reason
that we arein the best of the cotton re-
gion. AS an illustration, take the cOtton
trade of last season Our merchants pur-
chased and paid for in Pine Bluff last sea
son. according to City Weigher's report,
about 7500 bales cotton, worth 5000 be-
sides the amount that was shipped from this
point, on which adyanceswer made. about
5000 bales, worth S5OO,0OO making in all
81 ,250, 900 for the cotton crop alone Dur
ing the months of January and February,
they purchased from the adjacent country |
5OO,OOO pounds fresh pork, at a cost of S60y-
600, which they salted and resold; and
this is only the beginning of. that trade. !
We are informed the value of cotton ship |
ped from Little Rock to all points was
only $3.50, 900, or less than one-half of that
of Pine Bluff. So Memphis, as well as
the company, is deeply interested in the
branch road.
2. The other enterprise now before US is
the Little Rock, Pine Rlnf and New Or
leans hne-a road of vast Importance to
our people as wen as the State generally.
It will be a continuation of the Fort
Smith line down the valley of the Ai'kan-
