MARYLAND.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 25.-At a
largely attended meeting of the
clergymen of this city held to-day,
at the suggestion eff D. L. Moody,
the evangelist, a committee was
appointed to issue q call to the
evangelical ministry and Churches
of the United States to unite, in
the month of Janury following,
upon a week of prayer in a concen-
trated effort for the revival of God s
work throughout the whole land !;
and that in order to this they urge
upon Christian people to lay aside
all conflicting engagements, social,
ecclesiastical, literary or otherwise,
that with united heart the Church
call upon God to revive His work
and stay the tide that threatens our
institutions, political, social and re-
igious. The committee will issue
the call Immediately.
The committee representing the
banks of Baltimore, whose confer
ence with Secretary Sherman in
Washington, Saturday last, on the
subject of resumption, has already
been published, was submitted to-
day to the representatives of the
associated banks in a formal report
of their interview with the Secre-
tary, which was most cordial, and
expressing the hope that the
frank expression of the views
of Secretary Sherman as
presented will be considered as suf-
fcient to allay all apprehension
here and elsewhere regarding the
technical conclusion and operation
of the resumption act. The COM
mittee also presented q resolution,
" That pending an early reassem-
bling of Congress and with the
hope that some modification will be
adopted by them in the existing
currency acts, we deem it prema-
ture and injudicious at this time to
prescribe any line of policy, which
the banking interests of Baltimore
may require hereafter"
This was adopted.

ing 7 o'clock, in the Daily Tele-
graph, says: Leaving Ali Musjid
in charge of a British regiment,
General Brown pushed on, the head
men of the hill tribes coming out on
the route to congratulate him and
pay their respects. Proceeding to
Lundi Kama, within thirteen miles
of where the advance force
bivoucked, Maj. Caragnary rode on
to Dakka, which he reached at 7
o'clock Saturday evening. the Khan
of Lalpoor meeting him to offer his
submission. At dawn Sunday morn
ing the British troops resumed their
march, arriving at Dakka at noon,
finding that place deserted, for it
had been plundered by the neigh
boring tribes"
The British advance has now
reached the frontier of Afghanistan
proper, destroying by its success the
Ameer's authority in an independ-
ent territory, thirty miles in width,
from Jumerood to Dakka.
The flying Afghan army in its
efforts to escape has been plundered
of everything, the country having
risen againstit, refusing even shelter.
The news is confirmed that
Jelalabad has been evacuated and
the garrison is in headlong flight
towards Cabul. Mohamed Shah
Khan, Chief of Lalpoor and head
of the Mohmunds, hitherto the
Ameer's allies, has placed himself
in Major Caragnary's hands.

A Geuuine Curiosity

Col. w. H. Moffett, of New Market,
exhibited in our Office last night one
Of the greatest curiosities of the age,
and indeed a freak of nature which
would seem utterly incredible, but is
nevertheless true. 1t is a sweet potato,
grown by Deputy Sheriff Harvey
Bales, who lives near New Market
1t is almost perfect imitation of the
human form, or that of monkey,
with body, head and limbs complete,
and even an imitation Of feet, repre-
sented in sitting posture. What is
stranger still, what represents the
right arm of the strange con>
Germ is shrivelled away and
very imperfect, just as is
Mr.. Bales right arm, who raised it.,
he having been wounded during the
war.
1t certainly eclipses anything in
the line of curiosities we have ever
seen. 1t would constitute a valuable
addition to Barnnm's collection of
curiosities, and if some of our modern
evolutionists could get sight of it it
would, no doubt, form a text for some
new theory of the origin of the human
race. Col. Moffett had a good deal of
fun coming down yesterday exhibit
ing it to passengers on the train. 1t is
worth looking at.

WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE
viii be kept up during the yea
1879 to their usual high standard
By enterprise, accurateness, anG
close attention to the wants of oul
readers, we hope to merit a contin-
uation Of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals,
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
lication of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party,
We shall make unceasing war
against all men who espouse the
cause of reputation in Tennessee.
Against those who are willing to de-
stroy their State for a little brief
authority, and who for Office are
willing to hishonor and disgrace the
Commonwealth, we shall cry aloud
and spare not.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
to contaminate, and will
publish a paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made en-
tirely correct and reliable.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
We call upon all persons inter-
eSted in the publication of our in
fearless, reliable Repub-
lean journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
If the DAILY CHRONICLE and
