MACON JUNE SI, 1870.
The Presbyterian Ke-union.
As voiy appropriate reading for the day, we
conclude on our first page the publication of
the whole series of papers upon the matter of
the Northern proposition for a re-union of the
Presbyterian Church of America. We have
printed in order—1. The proposition of the Phil
adelphia General Assembly, with the speeches
of the distinguished delegates bearing it from
that General Assembly to lie Assembly at Louis
ville, and tho answer of the Moderator of the
Louisville General Assembly. 2. The response,
ftt length, of the Louisvillo General Assembly,
and speeches from members sustaining and ex
cepting to that answer. 3. The final action of
the Philadelphia Assembly (which we reprint to
day) with tho speech of Dr. Van Dyke, review
ing tho preliminary terms and conditions de
manded by the Louisville Assembly, pronounc
ing them inadmissible,incompatible with and fa
tal to Ac very objects proposed by the confer
ence and negotiation—postponing tho further
consideration of tho matter —discharging the
committee—expressing profound regret for the
result, and substantially devolving upon the
Southern ohurch the duty of re-opening future
negotiations for re-union, should they think it
desirable.
Wo need not invite the attention of tho reader
to the closing chapter of this profoundly inter
esting passage in the rehgio-political history of
the continent. It will be difficult to over-rate
the momentous consequences of such events in
their bearing upon the whole religions, social
and political frame work of the country, and he
is but a shallow thinker, or insensible to the
public welfare, who does not view tkenj with
profound interest and concern.
For reasons clearly stated, a few days ago,
and quite conclusive in their character, we with
hold all views of our own upon this subject,
and indeed they are needless. The reader has
in tho papers wc have printed the best possible
statement of both sides of the question, and will
find no difficulty, if he has read them, in coming
to a satisfactory conclusion, upon the merits of
the proposition and the attitude of the parties.
The Examination of Colored Cartels.
The editorial oomments against the board of
examiners at West Point for their action in re
jecting the two colored candidates for cadetships
ns invidious to the colored race, has called forth
a statement from General Shriver, Inspector-
General, to the effect that Michael Howard,
(colored,) son of a member of tho Mississippi
Legislature, nominated by Mr. Perce, was ex
amined and found to bo physically capable bat
utterly unfit mentally, having attended school,
not over n year. In tho other case, John W.
Smith, of South Carolina, the board of medical
examiners unanimously certify to his physical,
incapacity. He is nearly blind at times, and has
an affection of the longs.
The above is a Washington special to the
Richmond Dispatch, of Saturday.
It is real good, reading for Howard and
Smith’s colored brethren down South, for of
course those of them who have senso enough to

whan girls are as “plenty as autumn leaves in
tho vales of Valambrosa”—we would suggest
that our young friends defer hostilities about
fifteen years, at tbe expiration of which time,
their lovo being as ardent, and their cry still
for blood, we doubt not their wonnded wrath
might be appeased by arranging for a meeting
with yard sticks and awls, at abont three hun

Completed.—The new bridge of the Macon
& Augusta Railroad, which spans the Ocmulgee
river, one mile below town, is now about com
pleted. It is an excellent and most substantial
peice of mechanism, which will reflect credit
for many years to come upon .its energetic and
accomplished builders—Wilkins & Brothers.—
These gentlemen, it will be remembered, were
providentially interrupted in their work cm the
bridge, last March, by a tremendous freshet,
which swept away portion of tho bridge and*
oyer turned the center pier, before any bracing
dr supporting of either coaid be made. If the*
high water had struck the bridge a few days
later than it did it wonld have done no damage,
bat it so happened that the freshet came at the
critical moment and away tho bridge went. Bnt,
notwithstanding this ^avoidable set back, the
work of reconstruction was entered upon with
renewed energy, and has been completed in a
most satisfactory and admirable manner.

Washewtox, June 12.—The President orders
the release of the Cuban steamer Hornet to her
original owners, upon bond in fifty thousand
dollars. B. F. Butler and Wm. E. Chandler aro
the bondsmen that she will not be used in vio
lation of the neutrality laws. The value of the
steamer and property released is one hundred
thousand dollars. The Hornet was a Cuban
privateer, which put into Wilmington for coal.

Charleston, June 12.—Wm. Gilmore Simms,
the distinguished Southern novelist, died at the
residence of his son-in-law, in this city, last
evening, aged 64.
New York Bank Statement.
New Yobs, June 12.—The Bank statement
shows a decrease in every item and changes, in
some cases, quite violent. The heavy decrease
in loans is due to general dulness in trade and
speculation. The largo falling off in deposits
arises from tho decrease in loans, specie and le
gal tenders. The decrease in the latter, is due
chiefly to payments into the Treasury for inter
nal taxes and the fact that some money has gone
West during the week. Tho decrease in specie
is rather larger than generally expected; but
tho average at the close of the week was a fall
ing one and this probably has affected the aver
age this week. An analysis of the statement
shows that the banks have made a net loss in
their legal reserve of about 2,150,000 dollars, but
they still hold over twenty-five millions above
the legal limit.
General Cotton Statement.
New Yo3k, Juno 12.—The cotton movement
during the week shows a heavy decrease both
in receipts and exports, which is qnite natural
in view of the approaching close of the cotton
year. The receipts at all the points for the
week were 17,995bales, against 22,441 last week,
30,730 bales the previous week and 44,055 bales
three weeks since. The receipts at all the points
since September 1, 1869, reach 2,702,800 bales
against. 2,072,187 bales for the corresponding
period of last year—showing an increase of
720,602 bales in favor of the present season.
The exports from all ports for tho week were
22,9G2 bales, against 36,160 bales last week and
25,613 bales thi3 week, last year. The total ex
ports, since September 1,1869, are 1,983,841
against 1,39G,6S3 last year: The stock at all
ports is 263,896 bales against 107,669 bales at
this date.last year. The stock at interior towns
is 48,167 bales, against 51,915 bales last week
and 71,025 bales this date last year. Tho stock
in Liverpool is 603,000 bales, against 465,000
bales las year. The amount of American cot
ton afloat for Great Britan is 132,000 bales,
against 80,000 last year. The amount of Indian
cotton afloat for Europe is estimated at 339,683
bales against 559,816 bales last year. Tho crop
accounts are generally favorable, although the
recent rain storms along the Atlantic coast may
have extended into the interior and possibly
done some damage to tho growing plant.

A Quarantine War.
A Quarantine war has commenced between
Brooklyn and New York. Some vessels which
had been permitted by the quarantine authori
ties to proceed to the Atlantic docks in Brook
lyn, were ordered by Dr. Cochran, the Brooklyn
health officer, to proceed to Piers farther np

steamer, attempted to tow off tho vessels, where
upon their hawsers were cut by order of Dr. Coch

Revision op tiie Bible—the Proposed
Work in England.—The London correspon
dent of the New York Times says:
The Convocation of York refuses to join
with that of Canterbury in bringing abouf* a
revision of tho English Bible. For this rea
son a royal commission is out of the question,
but the Convocation of Canterbury has resolv
ed to undertake the work, and a k the aid of
all religious denominations throughout the Eng
lish-speaking world. The Dean of Canterbury
wished to include the Jews also, so fur as the
Old Testament is concerned. Therefore, every
one who has an amendment to propose should
send it to tho Archbishop of Canterbury, post
paid. The present version was a long time in
preparation, and after it was published it was
a full half century before it came into general
use. A new version might take longer, con
sidering the violent opposition of men, like
Lord Shaftesbury, to any change. It is said
that an adequate revision would, on an aver
age change one word in every verse of the New
Testament, and many whole verses, and some
that arc considered very important ones, wodtd
be left out altogether. Still, as far as I can
see, the errors are not so important as many
suppose, and the interpolations are, in nine
cases in ten, merely explanatory, and many
have been first introduced as marginal notes,

Colic.
Don Piatt's Letter to Cincinnati Commercial. |
I was pained to learn, from the High Custo
dian of the Boot-jack, that the Administration
had been down with the wind colic. The Ad
ministration had imprudently partaken of
strawberries and cream. ‘Whether the hemes
were too ripe, like Cuba, or not ripe enough,
like San Domingo, I do not know; but the
cream soured and curdled so that the digestive
apparatus of the Administration was paralyzed,
and the fruit, instead of digesting, went into
rapid decay, causing a fearful accumulation of
foul gases in tho stomach of the Administra
tion, disturbing the bowels and causing intense
pain. Tho treatment consisted of a mustard
plaster to_ the bowels and stomach of the Ad
ministration, and a hot brick to the small of the
hack. In forty-eight hours tho Administration
was .sufficiently convalescent to boar fifteen
minutes of the State Department, when the
venerable sardine gave small doses of Catacazy
on hemp and Thomton on Fenianism.
