The Meeting Of Synod.

"H." reports the editor of the
Presbyterian as among the absent from
the meeting of Synod, and so he was
very much to his regret. For the
first time in twenty mine years he Was
unable to 60, and for the second time
in that period he was absent. Provi
dencc has been very kind to him and
his in this matter. His way has
never been hcdged up before, and he
has never felt at liberty to try to
frame an excuse, and hence, with the
two exceptions above namod, he has
never been absent from the meeting
of Synod since he entered the Semi
nary as student. Once he was be-
yond the Ohio, at tho time of the
meeting, (Which was held at Bethel,
Ga. in 1Sl) and onco sick. viii
"H.n movo to sustain Our reason Tor
absence
A coincidence occurs to US here
that is worthy Of note. At the meet
ing in 1851, from which we were ab-
sent, Rev. r. A. Ross was the Moder-
ator at the late meeting from which
we were absent, Mr.. Ross was again
the Moderator.
We regretted very much to be ab-
sent from the late meeting, for various
reasons. not the least Of which was,
that we greatly desired to visit Pts
cah. its Pastor and people, as it is a
section of the church which it has
never been our pleasure to see. But
the Air Line road will soon be COM
pleted, ard then, D. w. we can visit
it easily and quickly.
The meeting of Synod seems to
have been q small one, but the usual
amount of business was transacted,
and with a good degree of harmony,
as we learn. A few things not men,
toned by III" may be noticed.
1st. The time Of the meeting of
Syuod was changed. 1t is hcnccforth
to meet in October, instead of Sop
tcmbcr.
End. The opening and closing of
the sessions in Erskine College was
changed, so as to bring both about
two weeks earlier. we believe.
3rd. The Asscssm enls Of last year
were continued for the next year.
4th. Rev. D. +. Haddon was ap-
pointed to represent the Synod in the
next meeting of the United Prcsbyte-
ran General Assembly.
5th. Rev. r. Latham was appointed
% visit the Southwest, including
Texas, and to spend at least three
months during the year in hunting
Up our scattered people in that re-
rion.
9th. The subject of Foreign Mis-
lions was discussed, and u Committee
appointed to report on it next year.
7th. Synod adjourned to meet next
7ear at Mt. Zion, Missouri.

Look unto thy God to make that burden light.
Be strong, weak heart, nor send the tear drop

JAMES River AND KANAwHA CANAL
PRoJEoT.-From Major Anderson, who has
just returned from the Grcenbrier region, we
learn that the work of surveying for the pro-
posed steamboat canal. to be called the James
River and Kanawha Canal, across the State
of West Virginia, to unite the waters Of the
James and Ohio rivers, has been fnished.--
Last winter Congress made an appropriation
Of $4,000 for the purpose Of making this
survey. The proposed canal is to be over
200 feet wide, wide enough to admt Of the
passage Of steamboats, carrying three hundred
tons. 1t will follow the James and Jackson
rivers to the foot Of the ALE hauy mountains
at point few miles from Covington, where
it is proposed to make a tunnel under the
mountains, nine miles long, and Of ths full
width Of the canal This tunnel will be over
1000 feet above tide-water- Two miles from
the western end ofthis tunnel the canal will
enter the Greenbrier. river, near the iron
bridge of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
over the stream. 1t is proposed to lock and
dam the Greenbrier, New and Kanawha riv-
ers to point FIVE miles below Charleston
Wheeling Register.

A Beautiful Extract.

It was night, Jerusalem slept as quietly
amid hel hills as a child on the breast. OF its
mother The noiseless sentinel stood like
statue at his post, and the philosopher lamp
burned dimly in the recess of his cha.nber.--
But i moral darkness involved the nation in
its unenliyhtened shadows Reason shed: a.
faint glimmering over the minds fmen like
the cold and insufficient. shining of a distant
star. The Immortality Of mans spiritual ma
ture was unknown, his. relation to Heaven
undiscovered and his future destiny ohscur-
ed in cloud Of mystery. It was at this pc
Rod hat two forms of ethereal mould hover
ed about the land of Gods chosen people
They came like sister angels, sent to earth on
some embassy of love. fhe one OF majestic
statue and we'll formed limbs which her dra-
perry scarcely concealed. in her erect bearing
ard steady eye, exhibiting the highest degree
of strength and confidence. Her right arm
was extended in an impressive gesture up
ward, where night appears to have planted
her darkest pavillons, while on her loft re-
dimes her delicate companion in form aud
countenance the contrast of the other. She
was dropping like flower moisened by re-
freshing dews. and her bright and troubled
eyes scanned them with ardent but varying
chances Suddenly light like the sun, fash
ed out from the Heavens and Faith and Hope
hailed with exciting songs, the ascending
star of Bethlehem. Years rolled away. and
stranger was seen at Jerusalem. Ho was
meek uDassumng man, whose happiness
seemed to consist in acts of benevolence to
the human race. There were deep traces of
sorrow on his countenanca, though no one
knew why he grieved, for he lived in the
practice of every virtue and was loved by all
the good and wise.
BY and by it was rumored that the stran-
ger worked miracles that the blind saw. the

Envy assaulted him to death.

the earth. But Faith leaned on his arm,
and Hope, dipping her pinions in his blood,
mounted to the skies.
