- The members and ministers of the various
Presbyterian churches, meeting in Conference
in New York, have adopted articles of alli-
ance, which declare their UNCONVENTIONAL
unity and their tolerance of other religious
bodies. This is in furtherance of the effort
for the proposed confederation of the different
Presbyterian churches, throughout the world,
and of the General Conference to be held in
London this year. The sort of union proposed
is closely analogous to that of the Congrega-
tional Churches. There is to be grand coun-
Gil, composed of representatives Of the differ
ent Presbyterian churches, which, however,
will have no legislative or judicial powers, and
can only make recommendations, which the
churches are at liberty to accept or reject.
The Association of Congregational Ministers
has precisely as much and as little power, but
it has been able to virtually exercise much
of the authority which belongs to real
ly legislative body. The Pan-Presbyterian
Council will undoubtedly bring about unity
of action among 100000 of Presbyterians
in America, Europe and Australia which
will intellectually increase their power. If
these 100000 can be induced to abstain
from sectarian jealousy and to join in an or
ganized effort it will soon be recognized that
a new power has arisen. The confederated
Presbyterian churches will at once become
the chief of the Protestant bodies

CHESTER, April 81, 1876.


A meeting of citizens took place this morn
ing, according to appointment, at which the
committee appointed at the meeting on Fri
day, made their report, the nature and pro-
visions of which it is unnecessary for me to
state, as they will be found elsewhere in the
columns of the ENQUIRER. j. j. Mcclure,
ESQ. and G. j. Patterson, Esq, in behalf of
the committee and the report submitted by
them, favored the meeting with some practi.
cal and excellent remarks, Of which 1 would
be pleased to make full synopsis, had not
my communication already reached pre-
tracted length. The report was unanimously
adopted, and the same committee, with hve
other additional members, Messrs. W. Il.
Hardin, W. S. Gregg, H. M. Ross, Nathan
Simpson, and j. w. Wilkes, were appointed
to secure from citizens subscriptions Of mon
ey, to be forthcoming at the time of the falling
due of the various notes, in case the Railroad
Company cannot meet them. If the perfect
harmony of the meeting is indicative of the
spirit of our people, think | can safely say
that the citizens Of Chester are determined
that the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge
Railroad shall become fixed fact. QUI.

to the adoption of some plan that will be most
e1sctual in accomplishing the objects of the
meeting. L. M. Grist, Esq, and Colonel W.
H. McCorkle, of Yorkville, were also in town
for the purpose of attending meeting Of the
Board of Directors of the Chester and Lenoir
Narrow Gauge Railroad Company. The two
committees met, conferred, and then stated
the result of their deliberations to the Direct.
ors of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad Com

from all objections. Mr.. Joseph Wylie was
called to the Chair, and Mr.. T. c. CASTOR,
was requested to act as Secretary. At the
request of the Chairman, Maj. G. W. Melton
explained the object of the meeting in an ex-
tremely practical and sensible speech. He
first alluded to the failure to make any ar
rancement with Northern iron men upon the
Joint note Of twenty citizens of York and
Chester, and attributed the failure of effecting
a negotiation to the length of time before the
maturing of the note. He then referred to
the immense advantages to accrue to our
town from the building of the Chester and
Lenoir Railroad. A good portion of the
road was already graded, and only seventy
five thousand dollars was needed for buying
the iron to lay the track. Major Melton
said, in an emphatic manner, that this great
enterprise must not fail, and called upon our
moneyed men to assist him in carrying it
forward to a glorious completion. He said
that, with the exerton of the proper effort.
the road could be in running order in the
course of few months, and that if the assets
of the company were managed properly, a
large portion of the Indebtedness could be
liquidated by the beginning of next year.
Before closing, Major Melton spoke of the
brilliant future of our town, if the business
men would only do their whole duty. He
said that with the concentration of several
railroads at this point, Chester was destined
to become city of considerable proportions
That even in FIVE years, with the completion OF

- The citizens of Brownsville, Texas,
througha special committee of the most prom
inent citizens, have issued report declaring
untrue the alleged statements made by Senor
Mariscal, Mexican minister at Washington,
to the effect that the border raids are as much
the work of Americans as Mexicans, and that
many of them are by ex- x-Confederates in the
disguise of Mexicans and Indians. The com.
mittee show that no acts have been committed
on Mexican territory, and enumerate many
notorious cases of Mexican raids and outrages
on this side Of the Rio Grande.
Oh Friday last FIRE broke out in the
blacksmith shop of the steamer John Kyle,
lying at the foot of Poydras street, New Or

1t is estimated that thirty or forty lives were
lost, including several ladies, who were in the
cabins of the boats when they caught on fire,
and the loss of property in the destruction of
the boats is thought to be about $4,000.

Especial Telegram to Mc Inter Ocean.

CSpesial Telegram to The Inter ocean,
Sioux City, Iowa, May A.-This
afternoon quite a flutter Of excite
ment was o]ccasIoncd by a horseback
rider arriving here and announcing
the capture, by United States Cav
airy, Of the Sioux City and Black
Hills Transportation Company's
train, in Charge Of f. T. Evans, which
left here on April 10th with a party
Of seven wagons and $50 men. John
Gordon went with this train in the
capacity OF guide. At the time OF
the capture the train was in the State
of Nebraska, and not rear any reser-
walton, and travelling in a direction
which would leld them away from
the Sioux reservation. The men in
the train held a meeting two weeks
ago and passed "A resolution to avoid
the hills, provided they were not
opened by the time they should
reach that vicinity, and to pass
around them and go into the Big
Horn Mountains and prospect until
the hills were opened. With this
intention they had altered their
course so IA not to 60 near the rcser-
vation, and were proceeding in this
direction at the time of their arrest.
The train was fully posted, by pony
express from here, as to the Proba-
bility of the opening Of the hills, and
seeing no prospect of their being
opened this season, held a meeting
and resolved as above.
The first night after the capture,
Gordon and three others Innde their
escape. At the time Of the arrest, he
had Just returned from n scout to
Spotted Tail Agency. He learned
while there that there are now a
great many miners in the hills, and
they have found rich diggings, and
were making $50 to the mar per day.
The commander of the troops, o"
discovering GOrdOu's escape, offered
$50 reward for his return, but found
no takers. 1t is probable that Cor
don and his comrades took Grccl"y's
advice, and went west. They man
aged to get away with their hora.s
and q good supply Of provisions.
Themmn who brought the news of
the capture is named J. l.. Gaiiand,
andasays he mnle his escape on the
second night after the arrest; that on
the way here he met several trains
moving west, among them Witcher's.
He gave them warning, and most Of
them stopped and went into camp To
await further developments. Among
others wsis a traiE Of seven wagons
from Yankton, following the Gordon
trail. They were at the mouth Of
Snake River when met by GaIIGud.
