The Methodist Episcopal Ohuroh, Knoxville, Holston Con.— Some days ago, I wrote you a very brief account of the very remarkable revival then in progress, at the First Methodist Episcopal Church of this city, and while I essay to give a more particu lar history of the mighty “refreshing from the presence of the Lord,” I am also permitted to inform the friends of Christianity that the glo rious work still continues, not only with una bated interest, but increased, and, I believe, increasing power. For a long time our cause lingered here. We were blessed with able and good men, but it seemed as though this was not the charge in which their labors were to be blessed and recognized by Heaven. Just after the close of the war, there were some conversions and accessions to the Church. But still there had been no great "demonstration and power” attending the labors of our minis ters. During the two past years the Knoxville Station had been filled by that good man, Rev. J. R. Eads, who, at the last Holston Confer ence, took a transfer to an Illinois Conference. He was succeeded by our present honored and excellent pastor, Rev. J. B. Ford. It is writ ten that “Paul may plant, Apollos may water, but God must give the iucrease.” So it seems to me that brother Eads, while here, planted the good seed, and brother Ford came along and watered them, when it pleased God to give the increase. If indulged for a moment, I will make a comment pertinent as au explanation. Brother Eads studied and preached theology as a science, thus gently impressing the hearts and minds of his hearers with the truths of the Gospel—essentials of salvation. Brother Ford studies and preaches theology, not as a science, but as an effect—a producing cause. The two men are as dissimilar in their manner of thought, as any two men of the same ability to be found in the whole Church. And yet, no two men can be found better suited to succeed each other, and especially when brother Eads is selected as the “sower,” and brother Ford to come along as the "reaper.” Eight weeks ago, brother Ford began his meeting, intend ing to protract it, foreseeing the result by faith. The revival spirit gradually developed itself, until it has now approached the character of a Pentecostal occasion. It is indeed glorious. Rev. John F. Spence, our most worthy, and sometimes badly abused presiding elder, Rev. N. G. Taylor, of the Athens (Tenn.) Station, and Rev. Mr. Nichols of the North Knoxville Charge, have all labored effectually since the meeting began. And Rev. Mr. Bachman of the First Presbyterian Church, of this city, should not be forgotten, as he has preached and prayed with us, and gave us liis full Chris tian sympathy from the beginning. The result of these labors, and the progress of the meet ing, has been more than one hundred conver sions, and a like number added to the Church. Old fashioned Episcopal Methodism is once more getting a foothold here, and may she grow until all peoples can recline on her bosom 1 A Methodist. Lke Ct., Va. Con.—C. Y. Chapman.—l will give a few notes from this the extreme western end of the State and Conlerence of Virginia. The county of Lee, from which I write, is the extreme Southwestern county of the State, lying between the States of Kentucky (on the north) and Tennessee, (on the South,) and terminat ing in a point at Cumberland Gap, the great natural gateway through the mountains from Southern Virginia and East Tennessee to Ken tucky. The point where the A. M. and O. R. R. will pass through the Cumberland Mountains. The road is now surveyed, and will be put un der contract next Spring, and when finished will give us a through line from Norfolk, Vir ginia, to Louisville, Kentucky, greatly enhanc ing the value of our lands, and the interests of our country. The Lee Circuit is composed, principally, of the county of the same name, and traveled this year by brethren Redwine and Penley, very good men and acceptable preachers. Our last quarterly meeting, for this circuit, was held in Jouesville, December 30th and 31st. Brother Milburu, our aged and be loved elder, failed to attend, being unwell, and having been confined to his room several days. His place was tilled by brother J. M. Adams, from the Pattonsville Circuit, who preached very acceptably. Brother D. H. Carr (M. E. Church South) has been holding a series of very interesting meetings in various parts of our county, and under his ministrations, there have been upward of a hundred professions The work is still going on, and invitations have been sent to several prominent members of our Church to come in and aid in the work. Some of our preachers have been with them, and been invited to participate in the services, and have been kindly and courteously entreated. Brother E. B. Clark of our Church, and brother N. VV. Vaughan, of the Church South, held a protracted meeting during Christmas week, at Cedar Fork, on their work (the Taze well Circuit, Holston Conference.) resulting in five or six conversions. The most happy fra ternal relations exist between the two Churches on their work, and the kindness and courtesy with which the preachers treat each other, give promise of much good being accom plished. Brother Patty’s quarterly meeting was held last Saturday and Sunday in Taze well, and was a good meeting. A great many persons spoke in the love-feast Sunday morn ing. God poured out his Spirit, and it was a refreshing season. Brother Patty preached with his usual force and power. Brother Vaughan, of the Church South, was with us, and preached for us twice during the meeting. Fraternization still progresses, and we hope that strife and discord in the Churches may soon die, be buried, and on their tombstones be written, “uo resurrection.” "athens District, Holston Con.—J. W. Mann —There are tweive charges in this dis trict 1 have closed my first round since Con ference, and met every appointment. Most of the quarterly meetings were deeply interest ing, and attended with happy results. I think that about one hundred and fifty persons have been added to the Church since Conference—all white. The preachers are devoted to their work, and being much better supported than they were last year. We are building quite a number of good churches, and paying for them. We dedicated a neatly finished log church on the Winter’s Gap Circuit, at the first quarterly meeting. Brother S. Grear is in charge. Over sixty have been brought into our Church since he came to his new field of labor last October. The people are manifesting a deeper and more active interest in the success of our cause in this country, than they have hitherto done. They are not laboring in vain. God is with u&, and who can be against us? Virginia Conference—M. E. Church.

Leesburg, January 24 th. lotting of gtuts. From the Churches. At a meeting of the Evangelical Alliance William E. Dodge was elected president and Chief Justice Chase and several others vice presidents. Dr. Chapin said the Christians of America ought to take the newly-arrived Jap anese Commissioners out of the hands of poli ticians and show them something of the work ings of our Christian institutions. He said the Burlingame mission was a comparative failure, because Christians kept aloof from it. The delegates from the various Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church South met at Memphis, on the 24th ultimo, with the object of establishing a university for that denomina tion. The Calvary Protestant Episcopal Church, corner of Fourth aud Shelby streets,one square from the post-offlee. Louisville, has recently been purchased by the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Church Extension Society pays $10,000; Joshua Speed, Esq., $10,000; Amos Shinkle, of Covington, $4,000; and George S. Buckner, SI,OOO. The entire cost has been $30,000, all of which will be forthcoming when dedicated, and all other debts paid. Dr. Reilly is pastor. The Congregationalists, Baptists. Presbyte rians, and Methodists, each have a Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society in this country, which, together with the Woman’s Union So ciety, have now in the field 98 missionaries, 200 native helpers, 2 904 scholars in the Sun day-schools, and expended $110,714 during the last year. The South. The Virginia Senate recently voted on the motion to abolish the whipping-post; the vote stood yeas 8, nays 21. Twenty-four of the South Carolina Ku-Klux have been sent to the prison at Albauy, New York. Ice is being packed in East Tennessee. There is great rejoicing in Tennessee over the passage of the Cincinnati Southern Rail road bill by the Kentucky Legislature. Wm. M. Holbrook for thirty-five years one of the editors and proprietors of the New Or leans Picayune has withdrawn from its manage ment. Gen. N. W. Ransom was elected to the United States Senate, by the North Carolina Legisla ture. The Republicans geuerally took no part in the election, claiming that the Legislature has no right to elect a Senator a*t this time. On Tuesday, the 30i,h ultimo, the public schools of Atlanta were formally inaugurated. Addresses were made by Hon. Joseph E. Brown, Dr. Lipscomb, Judge M’Cay and oth ers. Great enthusiasm is manifested by all classes, over this successful commencement. Several hundred children have applied that can not be accommodated by the present build ings. General. Last week a statue of Franklin was unveiled in Printing House Square, in New York. The resolution passed by the Missouri Leg islature to pay the State gold bonds in currency was vetoed by the Governor. The Senate af terward passed the resolution over the veto by a large majority. The debt statement shows a decrease during the month of five and a, half millions. Japan and Persia are the only two organized nations on tiie continent of Asia where religious liberty is not guaranteed by treaty. The foreign trade of San Frauciseo increased over $9,000,000 during last year. Seven mil lions of the increase was in the China trade. Wisconsin people are flooding their Legisla ture with petitions asking for the Ohio Liquor Law. In Chicago the new Mayor is making war upon the gamblers. The Ohio Liquor Law is in force in Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. The value of school property in Ohio is nearly $15,000,000. The Cincinnati Railroad bill, chartering the road from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, has passed both Houses of the Kentucky Legisla ture. Four appointments of ladies to first-class post-offices, with $4,000 salaries, have been made during the present national administra tion. Over one hundred women are employed In similar offices, though not at such high sal aries. Breaking up of the Ku-Klux.— The New York Methodist makes some timely remarks upon this subject. After quot ing from Judge Bond, it says : This is a picture of a condition of soci ety little short of barbarism. It may well make intelligent Southerners ashamed of their country. Let it not be said any more that the Methodist Episcopal Church has no business in the South. It has a work there, and so has every Christian associa tion engaged in the work of carrying the light of knowledge and religion to the be nighted of the earth. South Carolina needs primers, spelling-books, slates, and school-masters. The strong arm of the law may curb the violent, but only educa tion and the missionary labors of Christian teachers can cure the evils which have here been exposed.

SCOVTLL is the inventor of several medi cal preparations which have become very popular and have been liberally used. Among his inventions are “Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs” and ‘ Liverwort and Tar.” For the past ten years a belter Luug remedy has been offered to the public. Read the following letter from Dr. Scovill referring to it: Messrs. J. N. Harris & Cos. GfrUt l make the following statement from a per fect conviction and knowledge of the benefits of Allen’s Lang Bals.m in curing the most dee ,-seated pulmo nary Consumption I 1 have witnessed its effects on the young and tbe old, and X can truly say that it is by far the best expectorant remedy with which I am acquinted. For Coughs, and all the early stages of lung complaints, I believe it to be a certain cure, and if every family would keep it by them, ready to administer upon the first appearance of disease about the Lungs, there would be very few cases of fatal consumption. It causes the phlegm and matter t<J raise, without irritating those delicate organs (the Lungsi and without producing con stipation of the bowels. It also gives strength to the system, stops the night-sweats, and changes all the morbid secretions to a healthy state. Yours, respectfully, A. L. SCOVILL. gold by Medicine Dealers generally.

Philip Phillips has obtained the right—by a heavy expense—to select from all popular sources the best Sunday-school songs pub lished, for the purpose of embodying them in one book —a thing which has never been done before; and all who have given it a careful ex amination, unhesitatingly pronounce it the best book for Sunday-schools and prayer meetings extant, as it contains not only the recent popu lar songs, such as “I love to tell the Story,” “All to Christ,” “I’m safe within the Veil,” “The Water of Life,” “Pilgrim’s Mission,” “Over There,” etc., but all the real old bys” that we must ever continue to sing, and which grow better by use. Our better class of Sunday-school workers are getting tired of so much new Sunday-school music, which is becoming a burden to our schools, and we are gratified now to qffer a book containing only the true and tried spirit ual songs, and at so low a price, as the New Hallowed Songs, with its companion, Hallowed Hymns, and its yearly supplement, Singing Annuals.

TO be good and durable, a GOLD PEN should be made of 16 carat gold, as no writing fluid will corrode gold of this fineness; be sufficiently heavy to be strong and possess good elasticity. The points should be of the best quality of Tridosmium, (commonly called diamonds,) firmly attached to the gold and well finished. It is almost impossible to mar out such a point on paper. Those who wish to enjoy the advantages of GEN UINE G OLD U’JtCJSTiS should only pur chase those that possess the above qualities, and be careful in selecting a pen adapted to the hand, as they necessarily vary in point and spring. If fairly used, they are warranted for one year from the time of sale. 49-Send for Price List. For sale by HITCHCOCK A WALDEN, No. 64 Peachtree-street, Powell Block, 550 ATLANTA, GA. NEW BOOKS.
