PRoeREss.-In 1860, population of
Charlotte was hut 5000, in 1869, it
had increased to $500 and to-day 1t
reaches considerably over $4,000,
nearly doubling in four years. We
believe there is no city in the South,
. which can boast of the same ratio Of
inerease.-CharLotte Observer.
A Catholic paper says that in 1871
there we're in the United States but
one bishop, twenty priests, about TWEEN
ty churches, and Catholic population
numbering one hundred thousand.
To-day there are several archbishops,
ffy-niue bishops, about FIVE thousand
priests and six thousand churches,
while the Catholic population numbers
ten millions.
The Zion Colored church, Charles
ton, S. c., have resolved to enter the
plan of the Southern General Assem-
bly, for separate colored organization.
This is the church Of which the Rev.
DR.. Girardeau, moderator Of the South
ern General, is pastor. The action Of
the church makes it necessary for
them to secure colorcd pastor, and
separation from their old pastor, un-
der whom the church has grown to
great importance and usefulness, is
looked forward to with regret.
A report Of the census taken III
ScotieI3 in 1871 has been issued. OF
the 3,360,01S, which is the total
population Of Scotland, it appears that
l,46s,5S5 followed occupations Of
some kind. The professional class
during the same period has increased
BY 81 ,763, its total number being H.
694. In the agricultural class, how
ever. there was the marked decline Of
I02, ,2S9, the total number now being
270,009, instead of $4,000 as in
1867. This fact, says tie report, ful-
ly bears out the conclusion We arrived
at, that the prosperity of our coun-
try is every year becoming more and
more dependent on the prosperity Of
cur commercial, manufacturing and
mining industries"
Five years ago there were only
about six Protestant Churches in
Mexico. Now there are ninety-eight.
a paper published iu the city Of
Mexico says those who can remember
when foreigners we're pelted with
stones if they neglected to remove
their hats while Catholic procession
passed, "caunot but fully appreciate
the wondrous change that has been
effected 10 Mexico within the past de-
cade. The difficult and delicate Ia
bors Of the Christian missionaries iu
Mexico have been thus far crowned
with success. Ia this city alone chere
are some FIVE Protestant Churches,
largely and regularly attended, and 1t
is truly surprising to See the large
number of converts that have been
gained over from the ranks Of the
Roman Catholics"
