EPISCOPAL EEgEENTEAE CON
VESEsON.

The Triennial General Convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Church IN
the United States assembled in Balti-
more yesterday. The Gazette of that
city says:
As the session OF the General Con-
ventiOn is an event of great interest to
many of our citizens, we give It's pur-
poses and powers as set forth in the
Church Almanac:
"This body, which meets triennialiy
is composed of the House of Bishops,
consistingof all the Diocesan and Mis-
sionary Bishops in the American
Church. and of the House of Clerical
and lay Deputies, consisting of four
clergymen and four laymen from each
Diocese. 1t legislates for the Ameri-
canC within the limits of the
United States, but can make no alter
alton in the Constitution, or in the
LitHTgy and Offices, unless the same
has been adopted in one Convention
and submitted to all the DIOcescs, and
afterwards adopted in another Con-
vention."
The most important committee will
be that on Uniformity OF the Usages
of Public Worship. 1t was appointed
at the last General Convention, with
orders to sit during the recess. and re-
pOrt at the present session. 1t consists
of the Right Rev. Bishops Lee, VIII
liams, Odenheimer, Clark and Keer-
foot. Under the report of this com
mittee will arise the discussion as to
Ritual Observances, aid what action,
if any. shall bc taken concerning them.
The majority of the bishops on the
committee are known TO be moderate
ly High Church in their views, and it
seems TO be understood that the report
will be conciliatOry, and that it will
probably recommend that some meas
ures be taken i'm reference to the prac-
ticeS of those who are regarded as Ri
tualiSts. In addition to this the case
OF the Rev. Mr. Cheney, which turn
upon the use OF the word "regenerate'
in the baptiSmal service will come up
for discussion, Bishops McIlwaine,
Alfred Lee. Johns, Payne, Henry w.
Lee, Bedeli, Stevens, Vail, Whitaker,
Cummins, and Whipple have already
expressed their views on the subject.
They suggest that some alternate
phrase, or equivalent modification in
the office for The ministratiOn of bap-
tism of infants. he considered by the
convention. Bishop Potter, of New
York, VINO objects to any modification
OF the baptiSmal service. has replied
to the eleven Bishops in a pastoral let
ter, to which Bishop Lee. OF Delaware
has sharply responded. The debates,
therefore, on this subject, when it is
brought up in convention. Will proba-
hiV be of q veTy animated kind. Some
recent differences in New York be
tween the Bishop and several of his
clergy viii also. it j. supposed, he made
matter of debate. Many OF the daily
sessions OF the House of Lay Deputies
promise therefore, To be more than
usually interesting, and perhaps may
elicit, at times, considerable warmth
OF discussion.

JCHNSON CITY, Tenn,
Sep. 25, 1871.
A few days sin"e, Elder Daniel
McIaturf of the Christian Church,
and family left this place en- route for
Missouri. A number Of blacks, also,
started at the same time. Numerous
other parties have left this section
for the West quite recently. The
emmigration feeling seems to be gain
ing favor. Others contemplate going
soon. Texas, Kansas aud Missouri
are usually the points of destination.
This movement is especially sensible
on the part of such freedmen IS fHd
themselves able to reach richer and
cheaper lands. Nor will many of the
whites WHO go be likely to worst their
condition.

Of the occasion. Upon the whole,
the interest manifested was credita-
BILE in the his hest degree.
Our community is suffering from q
chronic complaint which at this time,
is common. no doubt, to very many
localities. It's symptoms appear in
the form of bitter grumbling at the
hard times At certain periods.
communities eU nuSSe take up sOEIe
complaining cry and pass it in melan-
choly accents from center to circum-
ferrnce of society. To receive the
doieful story of some as very truth,
oAe would think i; next to impossible
for ever the best to exc out a bare
existence. Such is the tone of our
Lilliputian CITY at present, with
many the complaint is just but num-
bers raise the hue and cry only
because they hear those around them
do so. There is well nigh a COM

however, there remains a suificiency

The afflicted are generally colva-

was seriously injured some time since
by falling from horse and the horse

cred from her injuries. The little

Speaker Vaughn.

The election OF Gen. Vaughn TO
the Speakership Of the Tenn. Senate
has been source of very general
surprise. 1t places him in the second
position in the State, and if Gov
Brown should die he will become the
Go: ernor of Tennessee. 1t is this
view of the case which brings him
conSpicuously forward on the test Of
ability. We are not one of those
who think it horrible thing that
rebels should place their own fellow
sufferers in those positions from which
they have been so long excluded. and
we believe the disposition to invcigle
against the exclusion of those ConscT-
Vativc loyalists who have been hold
ing our Offices for the past six years,
Is little worse than CANNON. But
we are not convert to the belief en-
tertaincd by the present Senate, that
Gen. Eaughn'S abilities are such as
to entitle him to the gubcrnatorial
succession. in the case of uufavorable
developments as TO the health of the
present incumbent. Gen Vaughn is
under the ban of the 18th ameud-
ment and we suppose he will present
favorable opportunity for the decis-
!oa Of the question our own people
have raised.

FUR THE BRISTOL NLws.
Bristoi---Escr SCheoIS,

hope your readers will indulge
me a few moments while / speak of
the advantages Bristol offers for cduca-
ting.
Until within the past two or three
years. we had 10 School facilities. at
least none to merit more than local
patronage. Deeply sensible of this de-
ficiency. Our citizens, ever active, and
enterprising, determined TO create a
social and intellectual center amongst
us. from which would radiate lights,
calculated to bless the age.
They felt it to he important that We
should have school system cOmmen-
suiate with the growth. In other res
poets, OF our thriving little city.
A variety of circumstances happily
blended. and serving TO initiate their
hopes in the rapidity with which Bris-
tol would outstrip her elder sisters,
between Lynchburg and Knoxville,
in the race for municipal prosperity !;
led them to look for "a speedy issue out
of their labOrs. But the success
which has thus crowned their efforts
exceed even the most enthusiastic eX-
pectation.
One OF the causes, leading 10 such
grand and happy results Is to be found
in the interest which has been awak
ened in our people OH the subject Of
education. They are learning TO re-
gard it a sacred duty to cultivate, and
not permit to grow up in weeds. the
talents with which their children have
been endowed.
They can no longer shut their eyes
to the fact, that our age, demands cul-
tivated minds. The necessity for
trained intellects. to cOntendsuccessful-
ly in the battles of life, has silenced
the voice of ignorance and laughed to
shame, the fOgyish conclusions OF
the past; that very little learning, is
sufficient for the practical purposes of
life, and. that each successive genera
ton has nothing more tO DO than To
to burTOw amid the ruined inheritaL-
ces of their fathers. Mr.. Editor | re-
ioiee to see that progress is 40 longer
eliminated, and that the modern idea,
is fast gaining universal prevalence
among our people that there i nOtl-
ing great on earth. but human beings,
and nothing great i'm them but mind.
When parents are once convinced that
il is their duty to educate, the question
uhere IL shaH be done, engages their
thoughts, and their decisions are de-
termined, in most every instance by
the circumstances of health, mora!
and physical, the qualifications OF
teachers and the expenses.
We are glad to say tnat our Schools
are second 10 none" in Virginia or
Tennessee, so far as the essential requi-
sites enumerated and concerned. We
are situated in the midst of attractive
scenery, enjoying n healthful climate
and surrounded by a moral, intellec-
tual and industrious community. y
thickly studded and beautiful growth
of forest trees greet the eye ON every
side, constituting astriking and agree
able feature.
