ROANOKE PRESBYTERY.
MONDAY, April Is, Is

MONDAY, April 1S, 1870.
From the Committee to Review, the Mi
nutes Of the General Assembly Rev. Il. W.
Moseley reported paper disappearing OF
the action of the Assembly authorizing the
Presbyteries to license lay preachers, and
asking the Assembly to repeal that action.
Mr.. James w. Shearer was licensed to
preach the Gospel as probationer for the
ministry.
A memorial to the General Assembly was
adopted opposing the establishment Of u
university under the Assembly's control.
The reasons assigned were these:
a. That the Church has no power by
Scripture or by it's Constitution to control
directly the secular education Of its chill
dren.
CO. That the scheme proposed is expe-
dent, az well as unscriptural and unconsti-
tutional. The end aimed at by its friends
can be and has been more efectually Sc
cured by institutions established and con-
trolled by Presbyterian people, without the
| interference and control of the church
courts.
Reports on Sabbath schools were re-
ceiyed from nineteen churches, reporting
fourteen schools, eighty-fve teachers, and
| five hundred and six scholars, with an ave-
rage attendance of sixty-one teachers and
| two hundred and ninety-eight scholars. In
| some churches where there are no Sabbath
| schools there are Bible classes, which par
TALLY supply their place.
| The statistical report to the General AS
sembly exhibited the following summary,
adding by estimate for three OF four
churches from which reports were not re-
| ceived-viZ.:
Of ministers, 80 churches, licentiates.
Received on examination, 90; received on
certificate, s.; total number Of communi-
cants, including colored, 1,70O; adults bap-
tized, 81 infants baptized, IS.
Contributed to sustentation, 1926; con-
| tributed to foreign missions, $3.50; contri-
buted for education of candidates for minis-
try, $50; contributed to publication, Sl30 !;
| contributed to presbyterial fund, 5000; con-
tributed to congregation expenses, IS, 900
contributed to miscellaneous objects, $213-
total, S1O,30s.
Most of the time on Monday was spent in
| the examination of the New Book of Church
Order. This review proceeded only as far
as through the Form of Government, and
| a resolution was adopted memorializing the
General Assembly not to send down the
book for final action by the Presbyteries
this year.
The Presbytery adjourned at 10 o'clock
Monday night, the members fastening to
return to their own families and fields OF
labor, but carrying with them most pleasing
| recCllections Of the genial and generous
hospitality of the families on the hill !"
and glad of the proofs Of life and prosperity
enjoyed by the two institutions OF learning

We think it a fact that should be graft.
flying to our citizens that at the late meeting
OF the new Virginia Steamship Company
the proposition to build in this city the first
iron steamship Of the company's line met
the cordial approval of the stockholders re-
siding in Norfolk, and Petersburg, and
Lynchburg, and Danville. It was an evi.
denee Of good neighborly feeling that prom.
ises the brightest results. If our Virginia
cities viii only work in harmony they can
make up for the want Of strength of any one
Of them by their combined power in advanc-
ing the general welfare Of the Common
wealth.
This revival Of Virginia shipping inter-

ment Of our Rio line. Some conversation
on this subject took place in business cir
