New YORK, December 20.--A special
from Cincinnati says: GA meeting Of
negro Immigrants from North Carolina was
called fer Saturday night at the courthouse
IN Green Castle, Ind. The purpose OF the
meeting was TO compare experiences and
interchange views as to the proprlGty OF
encouraging the movement. The Demo
cratic sheriff, however, closed the doors OF
The courthouse against the cOlored men,
and the meeting was not held. Pains were
taken. however, by newspaper corrcspon-
dents to gather from the colored men who
have arrived since the movement began Il
number OF statements or their personal ex-
pcrcncc. Green Castle Is the home OF Mr..
Langsdnle, who guaranteed homes and en-
pDyment TO all who would come, and the
greater number OF the new arrivals have
naturally located in that vicinity. or q
dozen or more intelligent negroes, all ex-
pressed themselves us greatly pleased at
The change they had made. Suid Willis

a dozen others interviewed, without
exception, talked in the same strain. About
100 men, women, and children have, SO far,
settled in Putnam county. One thing that
plcases them is receiving pay for their work
in money instead of store orders, rs they
did in North Carolina. Republicans say
that plenty OF work is still TO be had on the
farms in that part OF The State.o

AUGUSTA, December 30.--The Committee
OF Public Safety OF this city had long In
terview with Governor Garcelon this morn
ing. They Informed the Governor that they
represented the people OF the town. and
would cordially Join with Mayor Nash in
his recommen dations and suggestions; and
they trusted that no military would be
brought TO Augusta, rs the augmented po-
lice force would be ample to quell any dis
turbancc. The Governor replied that be
had already given orders to take one hun
dred stands OF arms from the State arsenal
at Bangor and ship them by express TO Au-
gusta. He did this 10 test the sincerity OF
the citizens of Bangor in saying they would
obey the civil authorities. He had never
ordered any troops to Augusta, and would
not unless there should be an outbreak.
The Governor informed the committee that,
as they might be aware, he had full power
to cali the Legislature whenever lie pleased.
and on the slightest disturbance he would
take the Legislature away from Augusta.
On the subject of submitting certain ques-
tious 10 the Supreme Court the Governor
said he would go 10 Portland and obtain
further legal advice before deciding whe-
tier he would so submit or not.

on the 2Sth at Cline's Ranch, on the Gin.

LIZ se held Yesterday at the Baptist church
of Nhis town. After an able sermon by the
pastdr. Rev. w. FL. WILLIAMS, letters were
read, from ex-pastors OF the church, some
extracts OF which now give you.
Rev. John a. Bfoadus, D. D., OF Louis
vile, KY, writes: 81 was pastor OF your
church from 1851 to 1889, being eight years,
Dunng the two years from 1855 TO 1851
had leave OF absence to act as chaplain OF
the Uniycr aty. and the duties Of the pas
torste wereS most ably discharged during
those two years by my assistant pastor.
Rev. A. Es Dickinson. - Often md
often | have looked back to those years as
the brightest and sweetest OF my life.

IWrsi.s "As long as live l shall feel a
deep interest in the Charlottesville Baptist
church. IIejoice IN the prosperity which
IL now seems to be enjoying. At the hour
OF your meeting and my family will be
thinking OF you, and be praying for the
Lords blessing upon you"
Rev. A. 4. Dickinson, D. D., OF Rich
nond, Va, writes - TO no part OF my life
do recur with more pleasure than to the
tgo years spent as pastor 10 Charlottesville.
TO the glory OF Gods grace do record that
In few weeks after ] entered upon my
work the showers OF heavenly refreshing
poured down upon us, with scarcely an
jnicmissioD, for more than year. Many
will recall, as they hear this letter read, the
immense multitudes that crowded the house
and the festivities OF sacred Joy we had. On
one sunday administered the ordinance OF
baptism at four different times. In
clu.ing must say TO you, my beloved bro
,hcr. that in my judgment YOU occupy one
OF The most important pastorates In the
land. The University is mighty
educational power, with magnificent
record and a yet more splendid future
il is TO be the centre to which will be drawn
the brightest young men OF the South, at
the most tender and impre>sible age-men
who are 10 be our judges, advocates, gov
errors, authors, legislators, and preachers.
70 impfess such men is to put your mark
upon your entire country and age. You
must OF course remember that you must
Sow and others reap, but both shall at last
rejoice together"
There are indications OF prosperity in all
the region around the town, aud il we can
have peace and quiet all viii be well again.
