FMu.axu, the - Roy I’kSXCSkb.” —On Sabba ,h night, despite the soaked earth and falling rain, the new Methodist church W«s crowded to its utmost cmacity with an immense congregation, all eager to listen to the young prodigy who had been announced tor the even ing. In physic il appearance Mr. ll oil \ml is slender sind very youththl. with mi.d m l w ntting min ner s. He is the very antipod *of the great di vtae who prec-ed -d im tne .-veiling tiefore, and yet equally distinguished for oloqu race and lib tellectnal power. "JL'he one storms the battlements of error and carries the ramparts sword in hand. The other with his dulcet strains wins over the garrison. and causes the gates to'fly open, as though touch 'Ad by the magicians wand. The one is nervous’ uncouth, and imp •tn.ms in his utterances. The other graceful, polished, and enphonious in word and manner. The one alarms , electrifies, and overpowers his hearer. The otner charms, snb dties and disarms him. The one reasons a fortio ri and annihilates opposition. The other by the Inductive method charm% the senses, and ttihds his way into the hearts and consciences of his auditors. The one is the religious courtier,—— the other the bold and bluff advocate of tnlth. With all these dissimilarities however, each haa an equal love for their comntJn Lord and Master, each an equal zeal to win souls into the kingdom, and each wields an equal influence from opposite stand points, upon the churchand people of God. The theme of the speaker was the power of the gospel, unto salvation. Those who listened to his entrancing eloquence felt that he himself was a striking, living exem plar of the message lie would inculcate. The priceless love of Jesus, the power of faith, the guilt of being ashatnid of our Lord, the all sufficient sufferings and atonement of the Savior ■ of mankind, all these topics were portrayed with • might, aud felicity of illustration, at once con vincing and irresistible. Never will his scathing animadversions also upon the hollow coavoniimulities, the devotion to fashion, the subservience to rank and station, and the unblushing hypocrisy which too often eutor within the pale of tbs church, cease to be remembered- For splendor of diction, fluency of expression’ brilliancy of imagination, aud refinement and polish, coupled with no small degree of nervous strength, this gifted young thcotogian and Chris tian, has few, it auy equals in America. The discourses of Dr. Munsey ami Mr. Holland, are alone amp’ y sufficient to r- ply the visitor for his attendance upon the meetings of Confer ence.

Missionary M tETtsa—Saturday. ‘evening, which had been Set aside for the consutererion of domestic missions, in compliment to Dr. Mnnsty tb* agent for foreign hhissiofA for the Methodist ehurcb South, was devoted 4o the diAnwion and furtherance of that branoh of the Christian work After the repot 1 * of the several Districts of the State bad been submitted. 'With tbe amount of funds contributed by each. Dr. Mnnsey was in troduced to the -audience and fprdeeeded to ad dress them. The porwinal appearance of tbe Doctor is n iqne, and far 'from prepossessing. His face has the mongol cast, aud no prick eared con ven auter in the days of Cromwell ever bad bis seaip more closely shaVen A few energetic sentences, serveo however to' dispel any douiit or prejudice wbicn his curious personcl might have aw.ikertei in the minds of his auditors. Soon it became very apparent that no ordinary ‘man stood b -fore them. Br. Muisey’s first spoke of the missionary work in its infancy. Fifty yeiits ago one Smalt chant' ber'Would haVe contaln- A every rtifMohar'y on i the globe. Now 4# JO heralds of the cross pro-j Claimed sfdValion to a dying 'Wot ld. The con-' Vef-’ts also numbered millions, and ten millions of dollars had teen expanded the past year s*l tlie missionary fi--ld. The two great enemies oftbe Wofk were irtl delity and si.dflshnesa. Much had been said of What it costs to conv -rt oneTi rathun But that -cost decreases in the snm • ratio that the number of converts increase*. New ft-Sds embr.icin? Mexico, f-iemfh America and Cuba were opening tip to-our very doors, aud called for gr -ater ef forts on the part of the church. Tlie speak -r then in glowing and impassioned terms p tinted the rnefftidl ibis value of the soul. And here the rfeport f’s p -ncillinis were sud. denly ti-rminated For a* well could the pen Iteep pate wiih ih-fagiftg Whiriwin 1. or with tbe roat* iiig tatutact leaping fh.m cjiff to cliff, at with that resistless flood of .doqSeace which' swept ev cry thing la-fore it Such gifts of speech, such powers of imagery, and siieh rugg ’.dlighr.iiiiig like illustrations drawn from heaven, earth and fi 11, which' caused tbe hrealh to come and go.and the chest to heave with excitement, we have never Is-fore witnessed. Tbe people were he'd spell bound, and sobr. and ex clamations, and those tumultuous emotions which stir the heart to Us innermost depths, struggled for utterance.. Carried away by the glorious grandeur of htf theme, the orator himself seemed enthused and wrought tip almost to a pitch of plirensy. Hi* frantie gestures, rapid utterance, ami majestic presence, well nigli transform id him Into some thing more than human. We began to fear with Wirt in hi? description of the blind preacher, that our speaker could nev er descend froth the lofty heights to which he had borne his auditory. But tbe closing sen tences in which ttie church was represented un der the figure of a ship with its crew of ebristuus on board, and Jesus at the helm, proved the grand culminating climacteric of tbe discourse, and lie sat down amid the tears and triumphant shouts and ejaculations of the vast assembly. One such effort is sufficient to stamp with im mortality the tniftd that produces it. A handsome sum was then raised to defray tbe missionary "debt of the church, and the exercises closed with the benediction. Abstract of Sermon of Rev. J. S. Ket. in the Church, on Sabbath Morning.

Again, the ceaseless effort of our divine Cre. ato is so to reveal itims.-lf, that all of Uis chil dren may have full, ficcarate ami suftcient knowledge of Itis being and glorious attributes. The old dispensation of sacrifice was iustitu ted, for this purpose, to typity the death, atone meat, and meditation, of our Lord, and Saviour. So did His prophets subsequently teach, and in t)ie same manner did the burning bush and that fearful voice reveal to the trembling Moses, the majesty, character, and ui-rcy of (-tod. tact ns censidtt the mode of this revelation. The Hebrews had been groaning under a cruel bondage for many generations. Their manhood, self-reliance and indepen dence were gone. They labored from day to day in t m brick kilns of Egypt and were requi ted to mike mortar without ttraw. Without nationality, they sittlpiy filled the ftlle of slaves. It was necessary that they should lie educated, aud fitted for that glorious destiny which was in store for them. Hence the Deity sought to do this by itnpar tiilg a knowledge of MimsClf—hy graving upon their lieaits and minds just conceptions of His potter, tVisdom and providence. They heeded these lessons to hold their besot ted hearts in subjection to God. They were u:terly unable to •■efctize and com prehend the great, purposes of Jehovah, and the deliverance to lie vouchsafed to thttift Hence proofs, convincing, Undeniable prooft were nec essary. God. therefore reveals His providence and might to the people, through llis servant Moses This mau of God,rescued sos that purpose in his lit tie cradle amid the bulrushes and crocodiles of th* 1 Nile, appears before Pharaoh thl! King, and de mands that he sh uld -Met his people go.” He says, the Lord hath sent me that His people should go out and worship -the God of their f*. there. Pharaoh asks, who is the Lord ? The God of Heaven replies, l>vill teach the proud mon arch Who I am, bj lessons of blood, and lice, and locusts, and pestilence. But God hardens his heart that he might noi believe, and submitted him to the test of the hail and murrain, which swept atviljr all cattle, and finally laid His hand upon the first born of the King, and every inhabitant of the land, save >thc children of Israel. * Then did Pharaoh’s heart quake Within him, and he permitted the Hebrews after spoiling their oppressors to go forth with bounding foot, steps and rejoicing hearts. To compass his utter ruin, and signalize still further the power of Israel’s God, the heart of it- Egyptian King was again hardened, and he r»- peuted of his consent, and with his war charios and a mighty army pursued after the fugitives. But the greatest display of the divine povv-r was yet to be manifested, in the rolling back up on the struggling host of the angry w iters of the red sea. so that all perished miserably in f„;| view of the Hebrew multitude. Thus was Israel taught the ' goodness, pdttrr and providence of the God who led them tort,.

A goodly array, numbering of the t(right eyed girl* and promising boys of tbe city, with their teachers, formed aa interesting audivo-tl .yf while the crowd of adults occupied dir if ry ot her available inch of space. After appropriate singing, Hev. Godfrey, of Atlanta, pronounced an excellent address fall ot piety and good counsels, and was followed by J. <l. Sidrank of Mnrshalirille. This gentlemaA by bis tirnag app-iU interspersed with agree abie aivcdotes. completely enlisted tbe attention of the vast audience. Some passages of bis ad* dress rose to tbe dignity of true eloquence. Dr. Smith then followed with one of bis character istic efforts. The Doctor is possessed of an. im'-ert«rbab>e equanimity, which no surrounding* can over throw. Rising at a late hour of the evening before a fatigued assemblage of sleepy juveniles, to speak upon a theme already apparently exhausted, his task was indeed a difficult one. Bat in five minutes it beet mi evident from sandry outspoken .‘responses to questions propouh ed. that* tbe Sunday school legion was fatly awake, and on the qui vice for a'l their orator had to sav Nor did he disappoint their expectations.— While a substratum of fervent piety and practical application, lay beneath bis exhorta tions, they Yfrere diversified with telling anec dotes and amusing incidents wbicb completely carried away his hewrers. One little fellow said he intended to come ev ery night to Conference. We are tempted to reproduce some of the fe licitous illustrations used to evince the profound ignorance of the bible, which obtaMt evtln among the educated of the land. But no de scription could do justice to tbe vivacity at and tact of the speaker, ■aftd our limits forbid am plification. Indeed, subsequent rehearsals of brilliant say ing?, when tlie magnetic sympathy between speaker and hearer has subsided, are always state and inadequate We will mention one Descanting upon borne influence and the pow er of a mother’s love, a pleasing incident from tbe pen of Lamartine tbe gifted French feuillet oni.-t, was introduced. The geatle poet relates, that a little bird once built its nest Upon a bough overhanging the riv er Seine.

Tbe report of Mr. Dean on Sunday Schools wa< deeply interesting and contained many sali ent facts. One of the speakers announced also, that in the United States, tbe sub bat# school army num bered one and a ! a f millions of pupils, and the stati tics of the church showed that eight out of ten of the annual converts were members of these school* or bad formerly belonged to them. The exercises closed with that beautiful refrain, the land of Beulah, and steel clad indeed must •have been that bosom, which could tie insensible to the touching melody which filled the air from the lisping voices of that multitude of children. The Sunday school aniversary will notsodn be sos gotten. Fresh Fish aud Oysters, Received daily, by • GEO. C.

Anthony Porter, for mer president of the bank of the State of Georgia. From our earliest boyhood we have known and enjoyed the friendship of this excellent man. His name was a synonifti for hones ty, and no citizen ever passed through a long career of public life, with a repu tation mere spotless and untarnished. His largo heart and beneVoUtbt cotih tenanoe, will long be remembered “on change,” in the city with which he has been identified for more than a halfcbti tury. A visitor at the recent Alabama State Fair, held at Montgomery, gives rather a doleful account, as will be seen by the following : “A slim show of plows and other agricultural imple ments, a few wagons, one buggy, one carriage, two edok stoves, and ono bag of cotton below stairs, in the only huild ingon the grounds. Quite a creditable •show of paint ngs irom the Jn l-on Fe male College, twi*" oases plated silver ware, from this city, a display of seeds from a Philadelph a seed house, the never faring string nnti liiee, i don’t know whose patent, and the usual Varie ty of patch work quilts, rag rugs, piano covers, etc., above stairs in the same building, and you have the Alabama State Fair.” Bgk, It is somewhat remarkable that our “dlstingtiished Northern gu. «ts,’ < whom we took M much trouble to bring to Georgia, and Who expressed them selves delighted with everything and ev* erybody, no sooner roach their home than a simultaneous fire commences -dong the whole Radical line against our State, with peremptory demands that a military despotism be again erec ted over her !
