• Cr into fraternal correspondence with
o -cerel Assembly of the Presbyterian
", af rh. Sonth; and,
ffssssss. the causes which prevent
h * correspondence are certain deliv-
Jy. n, of both bodies which, now hap-
! f united, constitute the General As-
ii«J. P".“? during the exciting
of the late civil war; and,
’ Wssasas. the General Assembly, re-
fftttiag that these acts complained of
,V,d-1 in the way of close relations with
..(.O -n-ral Assembly of the South, by
jj! r , r interpretation of concurrent
Elutions, and by their expressing con-
{ len x in the Christian character of the
p.,.hTterian Church, South, withdrew
... injurious deliverances indirectly and
l, (1 | of inference; and whereas, what
, k „ Qroetal Assembly has done indirectly
. ‘..j F hould do directly by affirmative ac-
a. when the glory of God and the m-
,;^U of the chnrch of Jesus Christ’s
Leg lorn require such a procedure;

Resolved, That all acts and deliver-
of both bodies now forming the
ytorian Church before their union
-.J.--ting injuriously upon the Christian
-.aractor of the Presbyterian Chnrch of
• South, be and hereby are declared in
centive and void, and that the chnrch

-rievancss under which they have been

Tbs resolution was laid on the table
tat ns subsequently taken up and refer-
.,] to the committee on Bills and Over-

rian General Assembly met to-day. After
devotional exercises and the transaction
of routine business, the Rev. J. 8. Noble,
of New Jersey, introdnoed the following
resolution, which was referred to a com
mittee:
Resolved. That the continuous, per
sistent and repeated efforts of the Papists
throughout the country, under the tntil-
age, direction and advice of the papal
hierarchy, to obtain control of the school
funds in the several States of the Union,
or to have a portion of said school fond
diverted from the legal and legitimate
uses to which said funds are pledged, in
order to devote the money to the sup
port of the papistical schools, demand
from all Protestant Christians of every
denomination, and every^citizen of the
United States who is opposed to a nnion
of church _ and state, a resolute,
determined and combined effort and un
ceasing watchfulness to prevent the
succe33 of the insidious attempt| now
being made, in all sections of the country,
by the adherents of the papacy to secure
control of the school money, and it is
hereby recommended by the General As
sembly of the Presbyterian Church, that
all attempts to subvert our school fands,
or divert any portion of the various
school funds, in any of the States of the
Union, to or for the use of any church or
sect, shall be resisted and prevented by
all legal and honorable means.
Resolved, That the outcry of the Pa
pal hierarchy against what they call our
gedl. ss schools, can wish for more jus
tice and greater propriety be applied to
the schools they have instituted. In the
common schools of our country, the pare
word of God is read, without comment,
while in the papistical schools the Bible
is excluded, and dogmas and traditions
of men are substituted for the command
ments of God.
The remainder of the morning session
was occupied in considering tho report of
the committee on work among the freed-
men of the South.

a delegation of Scotchmen from Cumber
land and Robeson counties, immortal as
the scene of Flora McDonald’s devoted
loyalty, with bagpipes and banner with
the lion rampant in tha centre and the
Scotch thistle at each comer. Lastly the
citizens generally in a vast multitude.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who was ap
pointed to act as marshal, wa3 detained
at home by sickness, and a brilliant array
of assistant marshal sustained Gen. Cox,
and enabled him to keep the vast con
course of people in order. The procession
reached the Fair Grounds at 12 w. where
the ceremonies were announced to take
place. The streets through which its
course lay were crowded with people, and
tho houses along the route were hand
somely and profusely decorated. At the
Fair Grounds a large platform had been
erected for the oratprs, marshall and in
vited guests, the front of which was or
namented with a number of bornet’a
pasta in commemoration of the histori
an's description of the people of Meck
lenburg during the Revolution.
Gov. Wm. A. Graham, whose father
was one of the signers of the Mectlen-
burg Declaration and a distinguished
soldier of the revolution, conducted the
ceremony and introduced the speakers,
first making an elegant little speech per
tinent to the occasion. After prayer by
Rev. Dr. Miller, of Charlotte, Major
Seaton Gales read the Mecklenburg Dec
laration of Independence, prefacing it
with a neat and timely speech, which
brought round after round of applause
from the audience. The orators of the
diy. Hon. John Kerr, on the port of
North Carolina, and Hon. J. M. Bright, on
the part of Tennessee, were then intro
duced. Each spoke about one hour, elo
quently defending the Mecklenburg Dec
laration, the State of North Carolina and
the Sonth, and claiming that the people
of this State and section were loyal to
the government, and would so remain,
provided constitutional guarantees were
not violated. A synopsis of these able
and beautiful efforts is not possible.
After the orators concluded loud calls
were made for Hendricks and Vance.
The latter responded briefly and in his
happy manner. As the Governor was
concluding the platform gave way, and
precipitated the speaker an J a number of
the distinguished guests to the ground.
Fortunately no one was hurt, and Vance
finished with the remark that he always
succeeded in bringing down the house.
The speaking having been concluded,
the various organizations and the invited
guests were marched to Floral Hall,
where a handsome collation had been
prepared. Abont three thousand per
sons had their appetites here, satisfied,
and upon the conclusion of the banquet,
a number of telegrams were read by
Mayor Johnston, of Charlotte, including
sue from the National Centennial Com
mittee, expressing congratulations, and
another from the Convention of the Pro
testant Episcopal Church, now in session
at Newbern, N. C., of a similar congrat
ulatory character.
In response to lond calls, Gov. Hen
dricks, of Indiana, arose and addressed
the assemblage, the toast being the Uni
ted States He declared in favor of the
sovereignty of the States, while ac
knowledging the paramount authority of
the General Government, and said no
true union could exist until this great
principle was firmly established and con
stitutional limitations of power were re
spected. The speaker was frequently
interrupted by prolonged applause, and
the greatest enthusiasm was manifested
daring the continance of his remarks.
Gen. Bradley T- Johnson was then call
ed to the stand, and paid a glowing com
pliment to North Carolina, Baying that
her people were the first rebels in this
country, and they would ever be found
rebellious when their rights were in
fringed.
Gov. Brogdon followed Gen, Johnson,
after which the assembly shortly dis
persed.

New Holland Spring
T
IHIS famous spring, located on the Richmond
and Atlanta Air-Line Railway, two miles
from Gainesville, and fifty-seven miles from At
lanta, has been leased for a term of years by the
undersigned, who WILL BE READY FOR THE
RECEPTION OF GUESTS ON THE FIRST
OF JUNE.
As a place of resort for health and pleasure
seekers, THIS SPRING CANNOT BE SUR
PASSED Posiessing.asit does,waters acknowl
edged by all to have superior medicinal qualities,
located in a mountainous country, noted for its
health-giving properties, with a cool, bracing cli
mate-pronounced by the chief of a Geological
Surrey (under Jefferson’s administration) to be
the finest in the United States—easy of acoess,
and with board tokuit the stringency of the times,
it offers advantages which recommend them
selves to those who wish to find health, pleasure,
and all the comforts of home.
Since last season several new cabins hare been
erected, the original buildings renovated, and the
grounds improved. My table shall be supplied
with the very best, and everything in my power
done to secure the comfort and enjoyment of my
patrons. In proof of my ability ana willingness
to accomplish what I propose, I refer to the
patrons of the Kimball House under my admin
istration. These embraced the best citizens of
the South, North and Northwest.
The usual accessories of Springs—Music, Ten-
Pin Alley, Billiard Room, etc.—will be fuund
here.
The most important and enjoyable feature trill
be a bathing pool, 20 by 40 feet, that I propose to
erect especially for ihe use of ladies.
Another feature, which will commend itself es
pecially to invalids, is its accessibility, the depot
being within three hundred yards of the hotel.
Business men will be able to get their mails and
telegrams regularly.
With a determination to please, polite and at
tentive clerks, well drilled servants, excellent
fare and good beds, I ask and hope to receive the
patronage of my friends and tha public generally.
