The Acapulco Massacre.

Rev NJ. N. Hutchinson, superintendent
of Presbyterian missions in Central and
Southern Mexico, and treasurer of the entire
Mexican missionary field, arrived at San
Francisco by the steamer Montana on the
tenth instant on his way TO this city. lie
it was who was temporarily ministering to
the Protestant Reformed congregation at
Acapulco at the time the attack was made
upon that congregation which resulted IN
the murder OF number of its members.
On his authority the San Francisco alta
gives the following detailed account of the
shameful outrage, and of circumstances an
tecedent to Il:
Professionalism has made rapid progress in
Mexico, there being now many congrega-
tons organized in the City of Mexico. Vera
Cruz, and other cities. In Acapulco, until
q comparatively recent date, little or no
missionary work had been done. About
four years ago the agent in Mexico OF the
British and Foreign Bible Society, Mr.
Butler, visited Acapulco, offering for sale
the Scriptures printed in. the Spanish Ian
guage. One Franco, shoemaker, OF
thoughtful turn Of mind, was at the time
in serious doubt regarding the Catholic
rel rion. in which he had been brought up.
He purchased Bible, read it, and found
therein what seemed to him sufficient
ground for abandoning Catholicism and EN-
bracing the reformed religion. lie read
the. sacred book to q few of his friends
III the same class Of lite, and gradually
drew around him little body of
believers in Professionalism. About a year
ago this movement received an important
accession in the person of Don Procopio
Dias. editor OF local paper, d member of
the State Congress, and a man of more cul-
ture than those who had hitherto accepted
the new lights. The meetings of the little
company were transferred to the house of
Senior Dias, and were continued. quietly
but effectively, until the little congregation
had grown to a membership of about fifty |
men and women. They determined to
organize church, and sent ommission of
three persons to the City of Mexico to re-
quest the assignment OF a minister to take |
charge of their movement. Mr. Hutchinson |
gladly received and encouraged them |
Special meetings for prayer and consulta- |
ton were held, but Mr.. Hutchinson had no |
one to send to them, and after due de- |
liberation, concluded to go himself, Or
