The Committee on the Minutes Of tho:
General Assembly, through DR. Dabney,
called attention to several items Dis requiring
special notice, but recommended no action,
upon any OF them. n
Rev. DR.. Morrison, OF the Episcopal
Church, and Rev. afr. Atwell, OF the Metho-
dist Church, were invited to sit as CORE
ponding members.
President Atkinson, Of Halnpden-sidney,
preached in the morning to large congre-,

THIRD DAY.
The Presbytery appointed its spring meet
ing at Fnrmyille on the fourth "Wednesday
OF April at a O'Clock.
Rev. +Mr. Johnston made proposition
that the rules OF the Presbytery be so alter
ed as to provide for only one meeting
year; the consideration Of which was post
ppned to next spring. ssa fs.s
The chief service Of the day was the ordi-
nation Of Mr.. Ed. d. Washburn to the full
work OF the gospel ministry. DR.. Dabney
preached the sermon. The moderator, Mr..
White, presided, proposed the constitu-
tional questions, and offered the ordaining
prayer.
DIR. Dabney, in his sermon, stated that or
dination, az understood by Presbyterians,
was not comforting ministerial qualifications,
but only recognizing them; and he made
the point that Paul spoke of these qualfica-
tions as prerequisite for ordination, and
not its result.
DR.. Smith closed the service by practi-
cal charge to the ncwly-ordained evangelist.
The Willis church, at Cumberland Court
| house, asked and received permission to
employ Rev. =. Hunter Dupuy, OF East
| Hanover Presbytery, as stated supply for
portion OF his time.
Mr.. Dupuy, being present, was invited to
sit as q corresponding member.
| The Narrative OF the State OF Religion
was read by Rev. Mr.. Mccoy, giving sue
cinct statement Of the religious condition OF
the churches.
The claims of Hampden-Sidney College
upon the support especially Of the Prcsby-
terrain Church in Virginia were urged by
Drs. Dabney and Smith, Rev. Messrs.
Rawlings and Wales, and DR.. Atkinson, in
earnest addresses, which seemed greatly to
interest the large audience.
The following resolution was passed:
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this Pres
bytery that it is essential to the prosperity
OF the Synod Of Virginia that Hampden-
Sidney College be cherished by our churches.
4 vote OF thanks was passed to the con-
gregation and citizens OF Cartersville and
vicinity for their cordial hospitality, and
also to the Methodist congregation for the
tender OF the use OF their church. n..'

FIERCE FANATICs.-At Garmspring, one

q lot Of religious fanatics, known as Cobb
ties, have been acting very strangely. z.
D. Humphreys, Of Searcy, and Mr.. Blake,
OF Eipazo, went out to investigate. The
former<was seized, cut to pieces, and decap-
itated, his head being impaled on a fence
picket. Blake escaped and brought the
horrible news to Searcy. "A posse started
out and found the fanatics gesticulating
frantically around Humphreys head. They
started to attack the posse. Black, the leader,
ordered his men to fire, and two Cobbites
were killed. -Four men, four women, and
three children were arrested, taken to Scar
cy. and subsequently released, rs they were
crazy from the combined effects of religion
and starvation. The leader is q man named
Cobb, who they think is Christ. His doc
