SHOWERS OF SALVATION.
The Day Of PentecOst Revived in
Pulaski.

Pulaski Citizon.l
The revival at the Methodist church
in Pulaski has developed into a relig-
iOus awakening the like of which was
never seen before, not even by the old
est ministers who have been in the
midst Of the religious crusades that
ran so furiously from city to city over
the country few years ago. The old
est and most hardened sinners in Pu-
laski stand awe-struek, and some of
the most hardened have yielded
and proiessed. The meetings, morn
ing, afternoon and night, are
crowded. The great feature in it is
that the presence of God is so man
ifest and the work so miraculous
that no man can doubt. 1t is an
actual demonstration. At 9 o'clock
every morning the Y. NJ. G. A. hall is
literally jammed with men anxious to
praise God and to confess their SINS
at the same hour the church is the
same anxious scene with the ladies':
at 4 in the afternoon the church again
holds both men and women and the
meetings are conducted with the livest
enthusiasm; at night the people all as
semble, the preachers talk and the
laymen preach, converts exhort and
all pray and praise, and the blessings
Of God are almost tangible. almost
material, they are so plain. Nearly a
hundred conversions are known. Men
and women are penitent and praying
all over town, and prayer meetings are
being held everywhere. All men
have come to know that this matter
ofreligion is serious and grand truth.
This state of facts is not sudden re-
suit, butitis the natural aud legitimate
end end effect of systematic aud zeal
Gus preaching. DR.. Leftwich has
preached religion and urged his people
show their religion in their conduct to
rather than in their creeds, and he has
pressed and pleaded and preached un-
til the people do it. The Y. NJ. q. A.
seems to have been instituted in
Pulaski just at the right time to assist
in this work. AS men were pressed to
duty, this association afforded field
for work. The result is that there are
perhaps fifty men and boys who will
pray and express themselves in public
who would not do so year ago. These
conditions brought about the great
work that is now absorbing all interest
and working for pood II is verify n
day of Pentecost in Pulaski. Moth
ing like it was ever seen, and it seems
that it but is just begun. Alta meeting
Monday five men stood up and
acknowledged Jesus as the Christ,
who two weeks ago we're unbelievers
and some of them infdels. A man
cannot go to these meetings and go
away unimpressed. The conversions
are so many and OCCUR at such odd
times and places that the pastor can
not keep list.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-General
McCoOk, who has been on General Sher-
mans staff for years, has been ordered
to join his regiment at White river,
and Chaplain Mullins has been order
ed to take charge Of education in the
army. Army officers say that Secre-
tary Lincoln has expressed his inten-

have been enjoying fat and lazy bertbs
too long, and that it is fair to give
them taste of service, and let those
who have seen hard service perform
staff duty awhile.

In the house to day at Nashville
the senate bill to compromise the debt
Of Memphis at 20 cents on the dollar
was amended by inserting 335 and
passed. The rate of interest is three
per cent for FIVE years and after that
six per cent. This is a reasonable
settlement, and, we believe, will be
generally accepted by the taxpayers Of
Memphis and the bondholders. The
debt in full amounts to about $6,000,-
600, whilo the assessed value Of prop
erty is not far from $12,OOO,OOO. If
the act as amended passes and is ac-
cepted all around, the debt will be
reduced to about s2,0O0,0OO; interest
per annum at three per cent, 100000.
We had better carry this, even if it
falls heavily, than to have it hanging
over uH.

TIE Clarksyille Tobacco Leaf
high tax paper, believes there is some
thing binding in pledges, which is
more than can be said Of some others,
when anxious to carry point. The
Leaf Of the 9Th says:
No man who did not visit Nashville
during the time the senate had this
bill under consideration can under
stand the tremendous pressure which
was brought to bear in order to get
the senate to pass this bill. Prominent
public men from all over the state were
there advocating its passage. The in
innate and confidential friends of
Senator Daniel who favored the bill,
were there, and urging him to vote for
it. In spite of all these influences, he
had the manhood and the courage to
obey the dictates of his own conscience,
and voted against it because he made
his canvass on different basis of
settlement, basis which he in COM
mon with the rest of US believed could
be agreed upon by both the state and
its creditors. Mr.. Daniel offered his
bill on basis Of fifty cents, and in 20
doing he has made an honest effort to
settle the debt in manner consistent
with the pledges made during his can
vass. We may be sorry that the debt
is not settled, but wo attach no blame
to the man who has kept his word.
Ifall the members of the senate and
house had kept their pledges and re-
sisted the concentrated energy aud
influence of a powerful, monied and
reckless lobby, the Infamous legisla.
tion Of yesterday could not have been
enacted. Weak men, if not corrupt,
represented the people and betrayed
them. The people may survive this
outrage, but these unworthy public
servants cannot.

some such name-a doctor-fasted in
