THE CMURCHEs ON SUNDAY.

Large Attendamce-Ablc Sermons.
The beautiful weather and visiting min
listers as well as the devotional feelings of
the people, drew larger number than
usual at the general churches, where the
most interesting sermons and exercises
were had.
The First Presbyterian Church was
crowded to repletion to hear their former
beloved pastor Rev. DR.. r F Bunting,
now of Galveston Texas. His text was the
Both verse and Sd chapter of Genesis.
The subject matter of the discourse was
the influence and power of earnest chris
tan prayer. The subject was handled
with that eloquence, force, ability and
impressive earnestness characteristic of
the Rev. Doctor, and all of the congrega-
ton at the close of the discourse felt that
''it was good to be there" It was pleas
ing to witness the Christian greetings ex-
tended to DIR. B., by his former flock who
at the close of service, gathered about the
pulpit and fingered in the aisles to grasp
him again by the hand. He preached at
night at the Presbyterian Church in Edge
field, his theme being Christian courage,
to very large congregation. He leaves
for the General Assembly tomorrow and
may all goods blessings attend him.
The Central Baptist Church was well at
tended both morning and evening to hear
the sermons of Kew. w. G. Inman and
Rev. c. Fl. Toy, both able and earnest
ministers.
The Elm Street Church was filed to hea1
Rev. G. NJ. Halsell, who was formerly pas
tor here. He left here yesterday for Stock
ton, California, whittier he has been called
] to take charge of church.
{ Rev. DR.. Dunlap delivered a discourse
at night at the First Presbyterian Church
that was listened to with deep interest by
good congregation.
At the McKendree Church there was 6
very large congregation, the services being
conducted by Rev. S. B. Smith, of Louisi-
ana. The subject of the discourse of the
latter was 1.-The Harmony of Geology and
Revolution He calculated his subject
in highly interesting manner, evincing 6
wide range of reading and thought and q
vast emulation. DR.. Sawrie took his &C,
customed earnest part in the exercises.
The other churches we're well attended.
Taking all things together, the church and
Sabbathschool exercises of Sunday last
were every way elevating and instructive
aud were probably more largely attended
than those Of any preceding Sunday during
the season

Having consulted with some five or six
candidates for the Attorney-G eneralship as
to the propriety of postponing the County
Convention until next Monday, find that
they are inclined to favor the proposition.
The reason assigned is that large majority

for the Convention when the deer chase,

presented, which no man fond of sport
cares to miss. What say the other candi-
