Mr. Twitty preached an ex cellent sermon at the Methodist church yesterday morning at 11 o’clock from the text, “You arc not your own; ye are bought with a price.” In tho afternoon a meet ing was held at the church to as certain wliother the members were ready for, and willing to aid in, a revival of religion. After a vote was taken, it was decided to com mence last night and continue the meeting through the week, having prayer meeting every afternoon at 4 o’clock and preaching at 1. Our pastor and leading members seem very much in earnest, and I be lieve we will have a good and prof itable meeting. Hope our liaptist brethren and friends will take an interest and assist us in tho good work. Our friends at Bronwood arc taking steps to build a Lutlierian church at that place.

C., Sept. 21 Secretaiy Gresham will bo at ills desk in tho Treasury Department on Monday, returning to-morrow night from his visit to Secretary Frelinghnysen'o to see the Presi dent. Gen. Gresham has not as yet finally determined how long he will remain in his present position. Ho accepted it in good faith as a permanent appointment. His pres ent intontion is to remain just where lie is until March 4 next. He has not determined to take Judgo Drummond’s place on the Circuit bench if it should he offered to him. It might be accepted as certain that Qen. Gresham would remain at the head of tho Treasury until March 4 were it not for the fact that some of Ills friends are urging him earnestly to go on the bench at once. In this eonneotion office out cotton avenue, I know my friends and cus tomers think that I am rather silent since my return from the North, but it was done on ac count of moving into my new | mammoth store, and also in opening and arranging the stock. I will break the silence by stating that I have bought a very large stock of goods, comprising Dry Goods, Furnish ing Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, and in fact everything pertaining to ladies and gentle men’s wear. I “struck” in I time the Halstead, Haynes & Co., which stock, was sold at auction through the assignee- These goods are of the finest and best makes, and I will offer them at prices that will make you think that I have got them without buying them at all. I will take pleasure in showing and pricing them. Come and examine whether you wish to buy or not. One word to the wise: I bought these goods to sell, and go they must for several rea- i sons, hence take advantage of 1 the low prices and lay in your | fall supply in the wearing line, i Respectfully, !

Aaron Burr, old John Brown, Ben Butler, Bob Iugcrsoll, Bill Tweed and Star Route Dorsey, are instances, it is also equally well-known that many men ot Hue talent and rigid honesty have always been charac terized by a quiet, reserved and sometimes rcpcllant manner.

It is always safe to regard a man with suspicion when there is more said about bis mag netism than bis honesty. ___ remarked, “tlmt Georgia material should be used where it is offered tbe contractors on equal terms.
