The Columbus District Appointments.
We owe an apology to the Pie-siding El
der of the Columbus District for seeming
neglect. IDs appointments came in good
time, and went into the hands of the com
positors, but were mislaid in the office.
The Christian Index —J. J. Toon, of At
lanta, has purchased the Christian Index ahd
the South Western Baptist and will issue from
Atlanta, this week, the new series of the
Index, to do the work of the two papers in
Georgia and Alabama. The Rev. H. H.
Tucker, D D., a gentleman of high repute,
as a scholar, writer and divine, takes the
editorial control o r the paper. It is put at
$5 00 per annum, and promises to be a val
uable denominational family paper.

Dr. Sehon, we learn, returning to Georgia,
reached Cincinnati, where he was violently
attacked with inflammatory rheumatism,
and though better, was confined to his bed at
last accounts The Methodist , speaking of Dr.
Sehon’s visit to the North, says:
“This gentleman, tru’y devoted to the
Church, South, and yet evidently maintain
ing the old love, conceived in former days
for his brethren and companions in ea ly
toil and joy and sufT ring, comes among us
again, and finds not so much sympathy of
the kind he seeks as he desires ; but stiil
we trust, he sees that it does not come from
lack of love to him personally, but from an
increasing conviction in the Church here
abouts that the far better way for hims' If
and all who love Methodism, is to come at
once to the old hotmstead, saying nothing
of the psst, but simply forsaking H He
makes fiiends for himself personally; for
liis cause, we think, he is not likely to ef
fect much.”

Diary op Kitty Trevylyan — A .Story of the
Timesoi VVuitefi.-lu and the Wes'eys. By
the Author of “The Sctionherg-Cotta
Family ”E c For sale by JW. Burke
& Cos. Price, $2 00.
We want every body to read this charm
ing book. There is a fascination about it,
that is rare in the books of the present day.
The style is good—the discrimination of
characters is just—and the religious in
struction of the best. There is a simplicity
and truthfulness about the narrative that
make all the characters real. The sketch
es of somßofthe old worthies are admir
able; and the influence of the labors of the
Wesleys and Whitefield and their co-workers
turoughout society, even among those who
did not come in direct contact with them,
is most beautifully exhibited. The book is
one that will do good. It ought to take a
high place among the youth of the Sabbath
School, and deserves a place in the family
library.

This is a most excellent story, by an au
thor who has won a good name by books
for youth. The book shews what persever
ance will do in overcoming the little ob
stacles, lying in a boy’s path, constantly
tempting him to idleness, and dishearten
ing him in every eff>rfc to make a man of
himself.

This is j.n unpretending title for a poem
that must rank with the best of the.age—
a story, a drama indeed, which charms the
imagination while it instructs the heart.—
The copy we read from.is cf the twentieth
thousand—a fact that shows how the pub
lic have appreciated the work.

Can your little prattler talk in verse ? If
so, set her to telling the simplest little sto
ry ill her own sweet way to “the baby”—
telling it in verse, and you may have some
idea of the sweet simplicity of Enoch Ar
den. Aid yet it is not a childish story,
though it be the perfection of simplicity.
It teaches a grand lesson of endurance—ot
self denial, perhaps even beyond man’s ca
pability. ’
The Parables, Read in the Light of the
Present Day. By Thomas Guthrie, D. D.,
Author of “Gospel in Ezekiel.” Etc. For
sale by J. W. Burke & Cos. Price, $2 25
An excellent book for general readers,
containing many pious sentiments and
striking practical thoughts, expressed very
happily. A pleasant book to read.
PROM THE BOOK AGENT.
Book Depository at New Orleans,—Our Publishing
House,—The Christian Advocate.
Mr Editor :—Will you please announce to
your readers that there is a good supply Pf
the Books of our catalogue at New Orleans ?
Orders sent to Rev. R. J. Harp, or Rev. J. C.
Keener, D. D., will receive prompt attention.
Brethren in the more Southern Conferences and
West of the Mississippi had better, for the pres
ent, get their supplies from New Orleans.
We have possession of the Publishing House,
and will do-our utmost to meet the demands of
the Church, but it is proper for me to say, that
we are greatly crippled in our operations, and
that it will require time and means to put us
again ih good working condition.
We have on hand many vf> .table books,
which we desire to sell and circulate ; and, as
in former years, we look for the hearty co-op
eration of the preachers. We will, in a few
days, give a more extended notice of the works
we have on hand.
We hope to resume the publication of tht
Christian A create next week. I sent you a
notice a few days since, which I hope you re
ceived and hdve published.

SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
ITEMS PROM NORTH ALABAMA.
Churches in Huntsville—Northern Methodism in
Tennessee—Emigration fr m the North—Revivals—
CJasi meetings—Captain Frauk Gurley.
Mr. Editor :—There are two Methodist con
gregations in Huntsville, but no Methodist
house of worship. The old Methodist Church
was burned while occupied by the Federal sol
diers—and the flooring, doors, windows, pulpit,
althr and pews of the West Huntsville church
entirely destroyed. The Presbyterian, Baptist,
Episcopal and Cumberland Presbyterian church
es, were not seriously damaged, if at all de
faced. The first charge has secured the old
Episcopal church in which to worship; and the
West Huntsville charge worships in the Baptist
church, as the Baptist brethren have no stated
services in the city now. The Missionary of
the Methodist Episcopal church from the Cin
cinnati Conference, advertises his services for
the Court House on Sabbath mornings.
I have met the Rev. Mr. Lakin, who rep
resents the interests of that church, several
times. He seems to be quite an affable, pleas
ant gentleman in his spirit and manner, —de-
clares that it is not their intention to interfere
with our church members or interests, but that
they anticipate that a large tide of emigration
from the Northern States will soon pour into
the South, —that the people are flush of funds
—plethoric with the currency of the country—
and that Northern men will seek homes in the
South and invest their capital in farms, and in
trade for the South—that there is a large
church extension fund being raised to send
Missionaries to the South, secure preaching
places, and be ready to receive their emigrant
members and organize them into churches.
They intend also, to look after the spiritual in
terests of the freedmen, superintend their
churches, etc., and to receive only “loyal” mem
bers into their church from among the whites ;
says he does not use the word loyal in an of
fensive sense, but simply means, I suppose,
such as prefer the M. E. Church to our
church.
There are also preachers from Northern
Conferences in Nashville, Murfreesboro’, Mc-
Minnville, Shelby ville, Pulaski and Tullahoma,
Tennessee, I believe. He informs me that it is
their intention to form a Conference in the
territory of our Tennessee Conference, as soon
as practicable—that the places already sup
plied with preachers are intended as the centres
for the future restricts of Presiding Elders. He
gave me no hints in reference to the circumfer
ences of their future Circuits, Stations, Mis
sions, etc.
I saw a genteel looking old gentleman, wear
ing spectacles, in my congregation the other
night. At the close of service I spoke to him,
and he informed me that he was the President
of the “Wesleyan Female College,” at Cincin
nati, Ohio. I did not hear the object of
visit to our city,—whether he was looking for a
female college for the sable daughters of Afri
can descent, or whether he had in view some
other object of less importance.
The tide of emigration from the Northern
States into North Alabama, setsin very slowly,
and in Middle Tennessee it is smaller still—de
cidedly a neap-tide. Perhaps we do not offer
the incentives they desire. A letter from the
stationed preacher of Shelby ville, Tenn., in
forms me their Missionary had not secured a
preaching place. An application to the elders
of an unoccupied church for the use of their
house, met with a refusal, and a reason assign
ed was, that they did not regard their town as
missionary ground. They thought the preach
ers could find more appropriate fields of labor
nearer home, and that it would only serve to
engender strife, if they preached there. Shel
byville was the strongest Union town iq Mid
dle Tennessee before and during the war. If
the Missionaries fail there, Burely they will feel
like shaking the dust from their feet and turn
ing to the Gentiles—perhaps to Georgia.
We have been blessed with a very gracious
revival in the West Huntsville charge—thirty
joined the church. Others will doubtless join
soon, and other churches, as usual, will share
the fruits of the revival.
The attendance at claßs-meetings ev.ery Sab
bath, now, is quite large, nearly equal to the
number of members belonging to the charge.
Prayer-meetings have been well attended all
the while. The Sabbath-school is in a most,
prosperous condition. Two-thirds of the num
ber of conversions during the meeting, were
members of the Sab’bath-school.
Frank Gurley—the sheriff elect, of this coun
ty, is still in irons, closely guarded, under sen
tence of death, but Respited until his friends can
represent his case in Washington. He was a
commissioned officer in the Confederate army—
captured and tried for killing Gen. McCook, of
the Federal army. Before the decision of the
Court-Martial was returned approved from
Washington, he had been exchanged. After
the close of the war, he returned home and was
recently elected sheriff of the county, by a large
majority. Soon, an order came for his arrest,
and it was announced that he had been under
sentence of death for ene year or longer. I
never saw a community so shocked and filled with
horror in my life, as whsn it was announced he
was to be speedily executed. All who know
him, speak of him as a high-toned, honorable
man. Nothing could sadden all humane hearts
here more than his execution. I made appli
cation to the Post Commandant here, to see him
in the capacity of minister. Two other minis
ters did the same, but Col. Johnson refused us
the privilege. During the war, I attended men
under sentence of death from both armies, and
never before was denied access to a prisoner
condemned to death.
The congregations here were quite small on
thanksgiving day. Many do not feel thankful
for the state of affairs here. I feel profoundly
grateful to God that I am alive, and that my
field of labor is not in Missouri.

I have S6O in hand !o publish the Minutes.
Printing is much higher than we anticipated.
Besides, the work cannot probably be done
prior to February.
It will cost SO6 to print 24 pages, 1000. copies,
besides the expense of going to Montgomery or
Columbus to have the work done. Will not the
P. E. and Preachers exert themselves to help us.
Raise what you can, anti if an amount sufficient
ly large can be forwarded, the Secretary may be
able to send more than the usual number to
each charge. “We cannot make brick without
straw.” Help us, Brethren. We cannot publish
until the money is in hand.
