From &" Notes Of Travel" BY W. Il. H., in the
Christian Ojserrer, We make the following extracts:
THE PRESBYTERIAN church, of ClorksviIle
which numbers 200 members, many OF them the
most substantial and influential men Of the town,
though az present vacant by the removal Of their
late pastor, Rev d. o. Davies, to Henderson,
keep up al their regular services, not only on the
Sabbath. but during the week, being supplied In
part by DR.. Shearer the President of the College
Their Sabbath School is especially large and -four
ishing. being presided over by Col. ID. n. kenne
dy, one OF the most active and efficient ruling e
ders IN the whole Southern Church. | have rarely
seen more interesting and interested number Of
children and youth than assembled on Sabbath at
ternoon, 10 engage IN singing and prayer Tor re-
yival Of religion, and to listen % an address on
early piety. One secret Of their interest, as |
JUDGED, vas the deep interest manifested by their
teachers No Sabbath School can ever flourish
aud be very useful, whose teachers are not deeply
interested for the salvation Of their pupils.
But il vas Stewart College. located there under
the care Of the Synod Of Nashville, which most
deeply interested me in this visit. Hitherto, l
had been accustomed 70 look uponit as the proper
g Of the Synod Of Nashville alone, and as it was
but partially endowed and located in one corner
OF the territory Of the Synod, and the Synod itself
not large body, although one Of the most efficient
in our Assembly, had not regarded It's prospects
as very bright or peculiarly encouraging. The &c
ton Of The last General Assembly, however, in IA
voT Of concentrating the patronage of tour or five
contiguous Synods upon one College, of which
was an advocate, has thrown a new interest around
Stewart College, in my eyes. The SynOds Of
Nashville and Mississippi have already moved in
the matter Of concentration, and appointed CON-
mssiOners TO meet similar ones from other SynOds,
70 see If something cannot be done towards estab-
fishing one large. well endowed, Wellmauned Col
lege for four or FIVE States That this is the true
policy Of our Church in It's present exhausted con
dition in the South, l have no doubt One well

The Democratic National Committee.

"According to established usage,
the National Committee Of the Dom
ocratic party are not assembled by q
published call. but by u private note
sent by the chairman Of the Commit
tee to each Of its members. In ac-
cordance with this usage, Mr.. Bel
mont has just forwarded by mail to
his associates on the Committee the
letter of which VIC insert copy:
"lou arc requested to attend q
meeting Of the National Democratic
Committee on Wednesday, the sth of
May next, at 2 p. H., at the residence
OF the Chairman, 100 Fifth avenue,
New York"
This circular, following the custom
ary form, does not specify the pur-
pose of the meeting; but the mem
bers will readily understand that it is
to designate the day and place for
the assembling Of the Democratic Ma
tonal Convention to nominate candi-
dates for President ard Nicc-Presi-
dent OF the United States"
In thus announcing the meeting OF
the National Committee which is to
fix the time of holding the Demo
cratic Convention, the New York
Herald rebukcs the impalicncc OF
those critics who have impcachcd the
wisdom Of Mr.. Belmont's delay, and
who have been urging premature ac.
ton in the premises. The time ol
the proposed meeting is fitly chosen,
and has been determined after consul,
tation W! th eminent and trusted Demo,
cratic leaders. 1t is just week after
tho Cincinnati Convention, and fur.
nishcs an implied recognition Of the
Importance Of that political assembly
Whether that Convention is to bc pro
ductivc Of important results is yet tc
be seen; but its character and actor
will likely determine the course ot
the Democratic party; aad 4 strong
demonstration at Cincinnati will like
ly secure the Democratic endorse
mcnt and support of its nominees. =
In view Of possible contingencies, th'
true policy is to watch and wait.

HABEAs CoRPus.-A Washington
correspondent of the Tribune says that
''thc hardest fight of the Senate, and
the only one in which the Democrats
will take very active part, is expected
over the proposition to extend the power
of the President to suspend the writ of
hdbcas corpus beyond the end of the
present session. Very great doubt are
expressed in regard to the passage of a
bill Of this nature"
The power to suspend the writ, ex'
pircs with tie present session of Con-
gress, but we have no doubt will be ex'
tended by the Radical majority, if by
so doing, they will be enabled to carry
the Southern vote for Grant.
