The Overture of the Northern Presbyterians
to their Southern Brethren.

DR.. Nieolls as Chairman of the Committee on
Bills and Overtures presented the following paper,
which was unanimously approved by the Assembly:
"Res0lred That the General Assembly do sol
EMMY declare that, 10 accordance with a resolution
unanimously adopted BY each of the two bodies
now constituting the reualted Assembly, all action
touching brethren adhering to the body known as
the Sou bern General Assembly, together with all
action touching the body known as the Old School
Synod of Missouri, has been, since the reinlQD,
null and void, and therefore OF no binding effect,
aud not TO be pleaded as precedent IN the future
ReSOlCeI That the Assembly express confidence
in the souudness of doctrine aud Christian charac-
ter Of these brethren, and cannot doubt that more
intimate communion would lead to a speedy removal
OF the barriers that now separate those OF like faith,
TO increased mutual liking aud esteem and to a
practical manifestation Of our oneness In Christ.
With regard to the civil magistrates and the rela-
tons Of Church and State the Assembly deem It
sufficient to call attention to the following prnGl
pies and statements found in these Staudards-to
wit: Synods AID Councils are to handle and con-
clude nothing but that which Is ecclesiastical, and
are not to intermedde with civil affairs which con-
Germ the Commonwealth, unless by way OF humble
petition in cases extraordinary. That all Church
power, whether exercised by the body in general,
or In the way of representation by delegated au
thOrity, is only ministerial and declarative. That
the Assembly will appoint two commissioners TO
confer with similar committees II appointed by the
General Assembly Of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States and by the Old School Synod
in Missouri, to seek closer and more fraterna rea
tons with these bodies. "-BaltimOre Sun, 22d.

FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Greenbrier Presbytery.

In addition to its proceedings given last week,
the Stated Clerk says
THE hearts of Gods people ought to be en-
couraged by the TACT that there seems to be decided
growth 10 almost every feature OF the work. Pres
bytery is making unmjstakable progress In its eff
forts to occupy the large and destitute territory al
lotUed to it. 1t goes on with the work of organic
ing churches and building houses OF worship. Its
working force is continually strengthening.
The number Of its candidates for the ministry Is
increasing, an excellent sign of an active church.
Two new names were added to the roll OF ministers,
Rev. w. Z HILL and Rev. j. d. MoClintock, the
latter to be installed at Huntingdon the former at
Buffalo and Point Pleasant Rev. Geo. Lyle is,
by permission of Presbytery, serving the churches
of Carmel and Salem, and We hope will soon be
formally on our roll.
. There is also growing regularity in the support
of various benevolent schemes of the church, and
the number Of blanks thereby essening in the re,
ports sent up to Assembly.
This is especially true Of some of our younger
churches ministered TO by our evangelsts, Most OF
the reports from the churches show greater or
less number Of additions by profession-some not
passing single communion without such token
of Gods presence.
Presbytery viii hold an adjourned meeting at
Mount Pleasant church, July Sd. 1873, and its reg
ular fall meeting at Richlaud church, October lst

anxiously debated. and trust they were guided by

wHATTO WEAR.

Miss Elizabeth Smart Phelps has writ
ten book to tell her sisters what TO wea :,
and this is one of her confessions:
"For myself, confess l never feel thor
oughly ashamed of icing a woman, except
in glancing over a large promiscuous as
sembly, and contrasting the comparative
simplicity, solidity, elegance and good
sense Of mans apparel, with the flimsiDe S,
the tawdiness, the ugAness, and the imbe-
cility Of womans." 4t##s
A writer in an English magazine has
some peculiar ideas about the costume of
the looming woman" Hear him, for it is
a man who dares to write thus: ...
81 think that hat of enc of the many
pretty shapes which have been worn for
some years past, with the glossy hair floa.-
ing over the shoulders, the figure displayed
by tighi-ftLing dress, looped-up skirt,
full at the hips; bright colored sash, tied
behind; the petticoats excessively short,
fully displaying long, brilliantly white
trowsers falling gracefully across the instep,
just showing the open worked stocking, and
the feet flashing brightly in the pretty
patent-leRther shoes and sandals l have
written of before, constitute the most
piquant, dainty and captivating costumes
devised for girls"
That would be a decidedly picturesque
costume. Irr --".
