from Iter. Dr. Horn on the subject of fashion

with th. ;r jtr j '-ranswers.
The committed recommend that the inqui
ries be sewered as follow: 1. “Whether

Answer: Probably none of our judicatories
are as faithful at they ought to be; but it is
lielicvcd that the churches generally, do in
some form discountenance dancing. And
the Presbyterian churches through its supreme
judicatory lias repeatedly borne its testimony
against dancing and other worldly amuso-

i as theatrical performances, card playing, etc.
t:i 1 while the Assembly believes that the
"lascivious dancings” declared to lie forbid-
I den in the 7th Commandment by the answer
to t lie 13th question of the Larger Catechism
are not th<~< usual in our Iicst society, yet it
iriirf that the tenor of the teachings
- : of the S riptures and of our Standards is in
did' direct opposition to this social usage. Christ’s
■ ' n Kingdom is not of this world, and the apos-
‘ u " tie exhorts Christians not to-be conformed to
,r - of 1 the world, Though wo do not say that all
“ion. these worldly amusement* arc “in their own
nature sinful,” it Is clear that they “may
tempt" those who engage in them and others

them as worldliness. If the practice of the

Mr. Lafiin, oi New York, from the com
mittoe on Printing, reported a resolution that

port. without coven, tie printed for the head
quarters of the armies of the United State*:

tary Affairs, to equalize tbe liounties of sol

in case of death the bounty to revert first to
the widow, second to the children, third to
tbe father (if a loyal resident of the United
States), next to tbe mother, and next to the
brothers and sisters.
On the panage of Mr. Ilendeson's resolu
tions declaring treason to be a crime, Mr.
Donnelly introduced the following, which
was agreed to:
Whereas, the republican institutions can
find permanent safety only upon the basis of
the universal intelligence of the people; and,
whereas, the great disasters which have af
flicted the nation and desolated one half ot
its territory are traceable in a great degree to
tbe absence of common schools and general
education among the people of the rebellious
States. Therefore,
RefNteJ, That the joint committee on re-
construction be instructed to inquire into the
expediency of establishing in this capital a
national liurean of education, whose duty it
shall be to enforce education, without regard
to race or color, upon tbe population of all
Sti ;h States as shall fall below a standard to
bo established by Congress, and to inquire
Wither such a bureau should not be made
an essential and permanent part of any system

that the Committee on the Judiciary be di
rected to inquire whether the act of Congress
by which so much of the District of Columbia
as Ucs South of the Potomac was ceded to
the State of Virginia ia not void, as being in
conflict with the provisions of the Constitu

the government to resume itsjurisdiction over
that portion of the said district, to report the
bill or otherwise.
On motion of 3D. Paine a resolution was
referred to the Committee on 3Iititaiy Affairs,
that justice demands that in case of any in

mans took up because not being able to elect
a German, they chose a man who knew the

A Tribute of memory.
Died very suddenly on the night of the 28th of
November, David Kendall, son of the late Dr.
David Kendall, of Bellwood Farm, Upson county,
Georgia.
Although in his usual health the day preceding
his death, and more than ordinarily cheerful, he
seemed to have a presentiment that his end was ap
proaching, and mentioned to several his fears on
the subject, but it was thought to be merely Im
aginary. In the night he became violently ill, and
calling for an opiate took a small portion, bat not
having the desired effect, in two hours he called for
another dose, and in a lew moments was quietly
slumbering. His friends, not considering him in
any danger, then retired, bat alas! they little knew
his voice was stilled forever.
At daybreak his anxious mother entered his
room, and there in the dim morning twilight, found
her child sleeping in the ley arms of death. Oh,
who conld describe a mother’s feelings on such an
occasion! How many fond hopes lay there before
her cold and dead! Trials, hitter and severe had
long been hers; her pleasant home had ruthlessly
been invaded, deep losses sustained, precious
relics borne away and earthly hopes one by one all
dashed aside, hut these were as nothing when com
pared to this new and terrible affliction.
There was no comforting thought of kind friends
bending over the beloved form to catch his last
whispers, for aUflout ;amc the Death An«'
midnight darkness and stealthily ushered hbj into
eternity! Truly the ways of Providence are full of
mystery and “past finding out**
David Kendall was educated at Oglethorpe
University, and attended Medical lectures in At
lanta and Philadelphia. He was gifted with an ex
traordinary mind, which he had stored with useful
knowledge by his great fondness for literature, and
I hare never known one to a&k him a question in
History or other branches of learning that he did
not folly understand and minutely explain.
He acted as asslstantSurgeonof the 29th Battal
ion Georgia Cavalry, and we are proud to say was
ever a true friend to his country through all of her
trials, always openly avowing and nobly defending
those principles which guided ns through the late
contest for independence. Though of a melan
cholic temperament, he was sociable, kind hearted
and generous, and found many opportunities in his
useful profession for deeds of charity. He had a
deep^rcverencc for religion, but wandering fancies
led him into the “slough of despond," and becom
ing discouraged, like many others in search of the
healing fountain, he imagined that no efforts of
his own conld obtain for him eternal happiness,
though he '.frequently desired the prayers bf his
friends and the church.
Thus has passed away another member of our
broken household, the fond playmate of our
childhood, and the counsellor of later years. May
this severe dispensation be a timely warning, not
only to an afflicted family and numerous friends,
bnt to all those who place their brightest hopes on
earthly treasures, fair and promising awhile, but
alas l how fleeting. A SISTER.
