Mr. Editor : As you know, a great ami
glorious meeting has been held at the M.
E. Church in this village. The meeting
commenced on the 24th ult., and closed on
the letinst. There was an addition to the
Church of seven whites and twenty-six
colored. There were about eight or ten
conversions among the whites—number of
conversions among the blacks not known.
The Missionary collection on Sunday, the
last day of the meeting, was a very good
one indeed—b'ciug in round numbers five
hundred dollars. Well done, Blakely—
*• many have done virtuously, but thou ex
cellest them all.” But to you, Mr. Editor,
do we fell indebted for so large a collec
tion. We will long remember the strong
and ardeut appeals you made in behalf of
Missions. Oh, what a man you would have
been bad you gotten your growth !
The Sabbath School paid £33,75 for.
Missions. God.bless the “little folks.”
The colored people raised, for the support
of their preacher during tha.ymug £1,35 45.
They are a noble band. “ The Lord lias
done great things for us, whereof we arc
glad.” Withall, the oldest citizens declare
such a meeting has never been held in this
place. Yours Truly,
F. M. Wilson, P. C.

Bags for the News.
We desire very' much to procure a quan
tity of Clean Cotton & Linen Hags, that
we-may obtain a sufficiency of paper to
continue the News through another volume,
which we will be unable to do without we
can get Bags to exchange for paper. We
appeal, then, to the lady readers of the
Neivs to forward us all the Bags they have
on hand, and save us still more. We will
certainly be under many obligations for
large or small quantities, and besides will
pay ten cents per lb. Then let us have
Bags, and continue our paper.
Lookout for the X.
There being a number of subscribers on
our books whose times will soon expire,
and whose subscriptions have been charged
to the former Editor of the News, we have
concluded to notify them of the approach
ing expiration of their subscriptions by
annexing an X opposite their names on
their papers, which will denote, that their
subscriptions will expire in three weeks.
Then lookout for the X, and renew your
subscriptions.
T.fee Alabama and Florida Conferences
—Change in tlie time of Meeting.
Summerset, Oct. 22, 1863.
Dear Brother: In the last Advocate, you
will sec a notice fixing the time of the Al
abama Conference for the 4th of Decem
ber, and Florida for the 24th of December.
Late intelligence from Florida has decided
me to change these times. The Alabama
Conference will meet at Columbus, Dec.
4th, and Florida, at Thomasville, Ga.,
Dec. 23rd.
As the time is short, I must request you
to have this notice of change published in
the Montgomery papers as early as practi
cable, and call the attention of the preach
ers of the Alabama Conference to the change.
Your compliance with the above will great
ly oblige,
Y ours affeQtionally,
, .James O. Andrew.
From Florida.
The editor of the Columbus Sun learns
from a gentleman direct from the vicinity,
that a Yankee gunboat, iron-clad, entered
St. Andrews Bay on Saturday morning
last, driving off the salt workers, and des
troying the works almost entirely. They
then moved up to the town of St. Andrews,
and commenced sounding the May, prepar
tory, it was thought, to further advance.
The Salt Works on East Bay were all des
troyed, as of those on West Bay. Desert
ers from our army are said to be plentiful
in that region, and the probabilities are
that one of the objects of this raid was
to gather as much information from these
deserters as possible, as well as to destroy
the salt works, which .were being worked
successfully by our people.
The Charleston Courier says : In one of
our tip-country towns, lately, a Charleston
family of refugees was suffering iu the ill
ness of several children. Milk was need
o i for dressing a blister for one of the pa
tients. The miK was procured readily at
the rate of eighteen cents a pint. The
i" ighhnr who furnished the milk at this price
had, «>n the next day, a case of illness iu his
own family, and sent to the Charleston fam
ily begging a dish of coffee, which was de
sired for the patient. The coffee was giv
en. Which acted the part'Of the “*Good
Samaritan ? ” Such eases we hope will
not become characteristic or general.
From South-Western Virginia.
From the Lynchburg Republican , of the
21st, we learn that this important part of
our State is once more clear of Yankees,
they having fallen hack into East Tennes
see. Our.forees were advanced Sunday as
far as Blouutsville, nine miles from Bris
tol, hut nothing was seen of the enemy.
The damage done by the euemy in this
raid was nothing like as great as reported.
They burned live small bridges within four
miles of Bristol, and tore up about half a
•mile of track ■ destroyed twelve or fifteen
cars and two unserviceable locomotives be
longing to the East Tennessee and Virginia
Railroad, and destroyed one car belonging
to the-Virginia and Tennessee Company.
A small quantity of salt belonging to the
" East Tennessee Railroad was also destroy
ed. No damage done iu the town of Bris
tol, other than some petty plundering un
worthy of mention, and the same may he
said of the country which they advanced
through. —Richmond 1 Vhig.
State Rbad Appointments.
We learn that Dr. Phillips, formerly
Auditor upon the State Road, has been ap
pointed, by Gov. Brown, Superintendent,
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death
of Major Rowland. This appointment we
consider a most excellent one, aud are in
formed that it, met the decided approbation
of the President, who learned of it as ho
passed'through this city. The Doctor is
too well known in Georgia to require any
commendation through the papers.
Mr. George Hillyer, of Walton county,
* has succeeded Dr. Phillips to the Auditor-,
ship of the Road. He is a son of the Hon.
Junius Hillyer, was foimerly a member of
the Georgia Legislature, and is a young
man of decided ability. He has been in
the service, and we believe was in the army
at the time of his appointment.
Atlanta Confcderaby.
A correspondent, writing from General
Bragg’s army, tells us a good joke that
was going the rounds of the camps- rela
tive to Gen. D. 11. Hill and a band of mu
sicians. The leader of the band made ap
plication, through his Colonel, for a furlough
for himself and hand. The application too’k
the regular channel, and was approved all
the way up until it reached Gen. Hill
The General disapproved it, and returned
it with the endorsement “ Shooters before
Tooters.” It is said that this actually oc
curred, and it smacks of his characteristic
aversion to every class hut that which car
ries the musket aud the knapsack.
(-olumbus Enquirer.
A dispatch in a Northern paper from
Chattannooga says :
Our supply trains are much annoyed by
their sharpshooters between Bridgeport
and Chattanooga, who pick off, daily, team
sters, mules aud horses! Most of the ar
my supplies are carried over the mountains
by pack mules, on account of the difficulty*
of transportation. -
