FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES.
PresbyterY of Red River

Recently held its fall sessions in Dr.. Dunlap 5
church, Shreveport, La
Rev. j. f. q. Doremus was chosen Moderator,
and the usual routine OF business transacted.
The plaos of the late Assembly in Sc. Louis,
sent down to the churches, were heartily scqui-
esced ID.
The proposal to divide the Synod Of Mississippi
msets with less sympathy than at first, owing TO
the fact that some of the brethren Of the Presby-
teries Of lower Louisiana, declare, If the Synod is
divided, they will never consent to meet in our
bounds.
Considerably interest was evinced in the discus
sion, in the Presbyteriai Conference, of the sub
ject, How may the ruling eldership be made
more effective"
Presbytery resolved to employ an evangelist at
q salary Of $1,000 per snnum. And during the
discussion 90 this subject the pleasing fact was
elected that many of our ministerial brethren give
tenth Of their income into the treasury of the
Lord. Aud from our statistical report, we learn
the number OF communicates has nearly doubled in
the last seven years Our numbers are small, our
bounds are large, and. consequently, our ministers
are scattered. Therefore the meeting of Presby-
terry is an event to us which we heartily enjoy
May we all be permitted to meet often, aud for
many years. STATED CLERK.

ROBERT ]. TAYLOR.

Our paper last week contained notice of the
death of this only of the late Rev. R. j. Taylor,
in Longview, Texas. paper of that place says:
"This melancholy announcement. will touch the
hearts of those who knew the deceased, with un-
affected sadness. Robert Taylor was noble, gen.
erous young man. and though quiet end unoBtrusive,
his high integrity and gentlemanly bearing won for
him large number of friends in this section where
he had only resided few months.
In the rosy morn of life, full of hope and ZEAL he
has been early cat down lie heart which only
few short weeks ag, beat with high aspirations and
noble impulses, is now cold and silent; but death
has only "sang his soul to rest" and new life of
blessed Immortality is begun.

To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown,

HALF RATES,

The question of railroad fares for
visitors to the Centennial Exhibition is
beginning to be discussed. Major
Mccoy, one of the Centennial Com
missioners of this State, informs the
Eureka Sentinel that nearly all the
railroad companies IN the Eastern
States, have signified willingness to
transport visitors to and from the Ex-
position at one-half the usual rates.
This will induce thousands in the At
lantic States to visit Philadelphia, who
if compelled to pay the usual rates
would probably never seriously con-
slider the question of going to the great
exhibition. One-half rates is an al
most irresistible temptation to many
people whose means are limited and
will not admit of too great an expen
diture for pleasure. The railroad COM
panies will lose nothing by their liber-
atty, as the increased passenger traffic
will amply repay them for the reduc-
ton in rates. This arrangement of
eastern railroads is, however, matter
Of little consequence to the people on
this coast, who contemplate going to
the Centennial. 1t will not add any to
the number, as the main cost of trans
portation is the fare ON the Central and
Union Pacific Railroads. AS yet these
companies have not spoken on the sub
ject, but is probable that they will be
as liberal as the eastern companies,
and issue tickets for the round trip at
one-half the present rates. If such an
arrangement is made by the Pacific
Companies it will more than quadruple
the number OF visitors from this coast,
and the railroads would gain by the re-
duction. If such rates were announced,
thousands who at present have no idea
of going to Philadelphia would make a
determined effort during the ensuing
year to accumulate means to purchase a
half-fare ticket, to witness a cele-
bration Which occurs but once in three
generations.

THE San Francisco Chronicle, dis.
gusted with the ticket nominated by
Gorham and Sargent, has jumped out
of the Republican traces, and seems
undecided whether to become a leader
or wheeler in the Independent team.
In consequence of the well.known dis
position of the Chronicle, it is probable
that the characters of that party will
try it in the swing awhile, as teamsters
do vicions animals, until it is thor
oughly broken in.
