oat crop of Georgia is unusually good this
year. The Rome Courier says that estimates
of from thirty to sixty bushels to the acre are
quite common. An oil we'll recently bored
in Warren county, Pa, yields ], 900 barrels per
day. It is 1000 feet deep. '''''.The Southern
Presbyterian Church spent last year $50, ,467 in
the education of colored people South. The
decision of the Missouri Supreme Court de-
claring the anti-gambling law constitutional
has scared the st. Louis blacklegs SO that it is
said that the city has not single gambling
house in operation. ...'''Mr. William H. Van
derbilt. of New York, recently gave his check
for 81, 600 to pay off the debt of Grace Church,
Lexington, Va, which was erected in memory

Herald, 'some enterprising church, awaken

The PREsBYTERIANs.-T Southern Pres
byterians, in reply to their action last week
looking to a renewal of fraternal correspon-
dence and interchange of delegates with their
Northern brethren, received telegram from
the Moderator Of the Northern Assembly, at
Springfield, ILL.,, stating that the Assembly,
withdrew all former declarations offensive to
the Southern Church, except those concerning
''loyalty and rebellion AS the most bitter
and uncharitable declarations of the Northern
Presbyterian Church were those in which
.'loyalty and rebellion" were the leading fac
tors, it does not appear that the Northern AS

charity which has characterized the kilograms
of their Southern brethren, who assert that
they withdraw all their own ''offensive utter
ances'' as to the Northern Church, while
abandoning no principle enunciated in the
past. The two churches might come togeth-
er in fraternal intercourse and cooperation,
however, on the present concessions-the
Southern Presbyterians admitting that they
were not for term of years ''loyal' in the
sense understood by the Jealous loyalists who
poured such lava streams of wrath upon
Southern rebels" during the war and after
it. The two branches of the Presbyterian
family could help each other materially in the
South, and more especially in the border
States, where two congregations are frequent
ly found in small towns vainly attempting to
keep up two church organizations, when there
are about Presbyterians enough to decently
support only one church.-Louisrille JournoL
