accessions to the Church. At this meet
ing we were assisted by Rev. Walter Knox,
Rev. M H. White, and by brother Mat
tox, of the local ranks. Brother Knox,
though feeble, was enabled to preach each
day for five days, and his sermons made a
lasting impression upon the whole com
munity. A". Collinsworth, seven have
been added since onr meeting. We have
received, during the year, 106 on profes
sion of faith, and 7 by certificate.
Whitesbubo Cikccit, North Georgia
Conference. —Rev. W. A. Simmons writes
October 21: Sixty one members were re
ceived on profession, and thirteen byoer
tifioite, at the fruit of our protracted
meetings, besides many more conversions
—some already in our Church, and others
who joined other Churches The mem
bership at all the churches were greatly
revived, but New Hope, it Carroll county,
was most powerfully bleesed. There were
occasions when almost every penitent at
the altar was converted in a moment, and
every Christian mida to rejoice as by one
impulse, and all the congregation to rush
together as by some invisible power.
Mach of the fruit of this meeting grew
out of a neighborhood prayer-meeting
that had been kept np all the year. At
Fierce's Chapel in Coweta county, also,
we hid a wonderfully good meeting, re
sulting in a rich harvest of souls. My
own soul was riehly blessed at all of theee
meetings, nd my strength remarkably
sustained. This good work is not accorn
plished by “ might nor by power, but by
the Spirit.” Nor is G>d a respecter of
perßous.hnt I noticed that those churches
and people who prayed most earnestly
were most powerfully blessed. I observed
also in every case where parents were
deeply concerned for their children, that
t.boir prayers were answered in the con
viruonof those children.
Stewart Circuit, South Georgia Con
ference. —R-v. J. W, Domingrs writes
October 15 : We havd keid six protracted ,
meetings dririog the season, and the
Lord has been with us. Only thirty seven
have been added to the Church, bat
many profess that God has blissed them.
Several havecomuieoeoj the duty of fam
ily an 1 private prayer. Indeed, church
and family religion seems to be on the in
crease all around the circuit. We have,
at present, fwo Young Men’s prayer
meetings that are working finely. One
of them has been in existence about three
months, an 1 his in it eight or ten boys
and young men, ranging from fourteen to
twenty-four yars of age, who respond
when ever called upon to pray in public.
The other is younger, and not so strong
in numbers, but doing well, nevertheless.
I think these meetings will furnish a liv
ing and growing blessing to the commu
nities in which they are held.
I did not mike my collections at the
times ordered by the last annual confer
ence, because I was obliged to postpone,
or get almost nothing. But lam making
tha collections now, and notwithstanding
the storm, and dry weather, and money
panic, I think we are about doing oar
best.
Bryan M:s ion’, South Georgia Con
ference. —Rev. W. J. Jordan writes Oa
tober 215 : Tho Lord bun greatly blessed
ns in this work. We have had no sweep
ing revival, bat tut-re has been steady
improvement throughout the year. I en
tered upon the work in Febrnary last,
preached, visited from house to house,
appointed Church Seer Varies, and made
appointments for Onnreh Conferences
which have been regularly held with in
terest and profit to both preacher and
people. 1 found upon comiug to the mis
sion ouiy two orgsniz *d churches, with a
membership of forty-eight. 1 have re
ceived twenty -eight members into the
church, and have six preaching places.
The greatest obstacles to oar progress are
whiskey, and the prej ul cos of the Prim
itive Baptists; bnt we arc looking for
large success, despite the opposition. A
most hopeful fact is, Shat tho members
generally take the sacrauieuL, and the
brethreu, with very few ere -prions, pray
in their families.
Worth Mission. South Georgia Con
ference. —Rev. R. M. Booth writes Octo
ber 25th: The Lord has abundantly blet-s
--ed us this year. We have had some very
interesting meetings, resulting in the
addition of fifty eight members to the
Ohurch. I have organized three new
churches this year, ail in destitute regions
of country. lam trying to extend the
blessings of the gospel to as many us pos
sible. I have eleven appointments, and
other places greatly needing preaching.
The probability is that the assessment for
the Missionary cause will be raised. I
have been blessed this year with good
health, with the exception of one short
attack of bilions fever.
Van Wert Circuit, North Georgia
Conference —Rev. S-im’iP. Jones writes:
We have had some gracious meetings on
this circuit this year. The Church has
been greatly revived, and we have had
sixty-one accessions. We feel mnch in
debted to brothers LaPrade, Seals, and
Jarrell; also to brother Pledger, who has
been abundant in labors. lam now clos
ing my third year on this work. I have
received into the Church three hundred
and seventy tix membirs in the three
years, and have ‘‘seen the grace of God”
and felt it, and rejoiced in it, more than
a hundred times. My successor will find
a preachers’ home, where bis wife and
children will be amply provided for.
Sa ntee Circcit, South Carolina Con
ference. — Rev. J. L. Sifley writes: Oar
trial camp-meetiDg at Andrew Chapel was
a decided success. The divine presence
was manifested from the beginning to the
olose of the meeting. We had bat one
tent upon the ground, bnt everybody
living within a reasonable distance, came
prepared to take care of themselves.
Sixteen united with the Chnrch, some
twenty-five were happily converted, and
the Chnrch was greatly blessed. The
camp-meeting for Santee Cirouit is now
settled, and we hope to have many tents,
and to be otherwise better prepared for a
camp-meeting next year.
Davisboro Circuit, South Georgia
Conference —Rev. J. B. Culpepper
writes October 23d: The Lord has revived
ns at every chnrch on the work. More than
one hundred have been added to the
membership—one hundred lead in public
prayer, and seventy-five pray in their
families.

MACON, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 3, 1875
Visit from a Veteran:
Daring the session of the Grand Lodge
last week, we had a visit from Rev. Caleb
W. Key, Grand Chaplain. Brother Key
is one of the oldest itinerants in the
Georgia Conference. We made a slight
error some time ago in saying that our
good brother Josiah Lewis had been in
the field for forty-eight years; we should
have said thirty eight years. Brother
Key has been in the active field of labor
for forty-five years.
His present work is St. Lake’s Mission,
in the city of Augusta, comprising what
is known as Harrisburg, Rolleyville, Wat
kinsville, and Woodlawn. This mission
was organized at the last session of the
North Georgia Conference, and brother
Key, who had just closed his fourth year
on the Augusta District, volunteered to
supply it. Ttiere had been for fifty years
a neat chapel built for all
nominatiocs to preach
had been organized. The
goue into dilapidation,
abandoned for years to the
bats,as unsafe to occupy. The old
ing was tendered to brother Key, if he
would occupy it. He began the work of
repairing under great discouragements,
but by indomitable energy he raided near
six thousand dollars, and put the building
in thoroagh repair. He began his labors
on the fourth Sabbath in April, and the
first Sabbath gathered np a few scattered
Methodists, some of whom had been lost
sight of.and organized a Ohnrch of twelve
members, and a Sabbath-school of seme
twelve or fifteen children. By strict at
tention and visitation the little band be
gan to increase, and some few weeks ago
-he spent eleven days and nights in a pro
traded ell art, and over twenty persons
embraced religion—seventeen of them
joined the Church, all but two of whom
were heads of families, and of the very
best citizens in that part of the city. He
baptized on one day twenty three chil
dren, on another three, and seven adults,
making thirty-two baptisms. He now
numbers forty-three Ohnrch members,and
has a Sabbath-school of eighty members.
We consider this pretty good for an old
man. Brother Koy is the best preserved
man of his age wa know of. He is, as
everybody knows, father of our beloved
brother, Dr. Jos. S. Key, but on account
of his yonthful appearance has freqently
been mistaken for his brother. May the
Lord add many days to the tisaful life of
brother Key.
The State Fair Again.
As several of the secular papers of the
State have spoken in terms of disparage
ment of the success aud management of
the late Fair, and have given as a reason
for what they are pleased to denominate a
failure, that the horse racing and side
shows were prohibited, we feel that all
lovers of good order and morality, and
especially all Christians, should stand up
and defend the noble President and the
Executive Committee f r their manly
course. Let it not be said that men who
stand up for virtue and religion siiad
bo mi-jndgej and abused by their friends,
or that being slandered by their enemies,
their friends stand by and see it done,
without raising tbeir voices to defend
them.
The Fair, for ‘he time-,was a snoees' —
a decided success. It paid out and left a
good surplus, and this in the fac- of the
oft repeated prediction tint it wonl.i be a
failure, if the managers persisted in ex
eluding horse-racing, gambling, ami inde
cent shotrs. General Onlqaits aud the Ex
ecutive Committee—bus especially Gen
Colquitt—have been denounced and
abused ail over the State for their attempt
it is said ‘‘to turn a Fair into a camp
meetiDg.” Surely all good men and good
women will speak out in defence of the
honest effort of General 0 dquitt and his
co-laborers to maintain the cause of mor
ality and religion, and not allow them to
be overborne and slandered by the howls
of the vicioas aud irreligious men who
think that horse racing and gambling alone
can attract a crowd to a Fair in the Slate of
Georgia.
We hope the true friends of good order
and religion will not hesitate to stand on
the side of the management of the State
Fair,and if the opposition complain at it,
let us defend the right. We hope Gen.
Colquitt will continue to ran the sched
ule of the late Fair, and by another year,
with prosperous crops aud increased pros
perity in oar State, it will be seen that
horse-racing and side-shosvs are not the
only things that will attract a crowd in
Georgia.

Naw York, October 22.—The commissioners
representing the city of Mobile are in this city
endeavoring to eflect an arrangement by which
Its debt may become less burdensome. From
their statement it appears that the total debt,
principal and interest, to be paid in sixteen
years, will be s4,44s,S9o—being 25 per cent of
the total asseseed value of the city. If held to
this the commissioners eay the city will become
hopelessly insolvent, and can never pay it. To
help toward the settlement of these difficulties,
the Legisla'ure of Alabama passed an act giving
the Govervor of the State authority to appoint
three citizens of Mobile, as commissioners, to
settle the city debt. This act provides for the
issue of $2,000,C00 of six per cent, bonds, pay
able in thirty years from May 1,1875, and creates
a first Hen on the real estate belonging to the
city, as well as on the revenues of the city.

were about five thousand in the line.

the tribate of its people to the m> mory of its
gallant Cbris'iau soldier, General T. J. (Slone,
wall) Jackson, on the occasion of the formal
Inauguration of the statue by Foley, presented
to Virginia by a number of English gentlemen.
The im; osing pageant and luteresting ceremo
nies combined to make the grandest demon
stration over witnessed in this city. General
Joseph E. Johnston was Chief Marshal, und
General Harry Ileth, his principal assistant.
Arrived at the Capitol the procession was mass
ed in the vicinity of the veiled statue and the
platform from which the oration was to be de
livered. After prayer by Bishop Doggett, of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Gov
ernor Kemper made an introductory address,
in which he spoke in the most feeling terms of
the occasion anil in eulogy of Jackson. He
concluded by introducing the Rev. M. D. Hoge
of the Presbyterian Church, as the orator of
the day. As the last words of the orator died
away, the veiling of the monument was sud
denly withdrawn, and, amid the thundering
cheers of the multitude, the firing of the mus
ketry, and the booming of cannoD, the bronze
figure of Jackson greeted the gaze of the as
sembled thousands. At this point General
Page, of Norfolk, introduced to the crowd Ge •
eral Jsckson’s only child, a little girl of thir
teen, who was received with deafening and
continned cheers. The ceremonies were con

The total d-preciation is 62 000 0(4) bushels.
The crop is estimated at 246,000,000 bushels.

falls short of last year, which had au areiage
crop. The cat crop is five per cent, gieate
than lsst year. Bailey and buckwheat are 87
por esnt. of last year and about equal to the
reduction in quality indicated. The potato

two per cent, above the average.

London, October 22.—The weather is temp
estuous and much damage to shipping is re
ported. Disasters involving a less of twenty
lives are already reportid. The Timet in its
financial article says we learn from the Trapers'
Trade Journal, that a Manchester firm has begun
to import calicoes from the United States. The
fact is significant, and as the importers say that
the goods are of mnch better quality and ap
pearance than ours, Manchester, it appears has
found a competitor at last, but that depends on
the price.

From the Philadelphia Presbyterian.
From the World's Dispensary Printing Office
and Bindery. Buffalo, N. Y., we have received
“The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,
in plain English ; or. Medicine Simplified,” by It.
V. Pierce. M. D., Counselor-in-chief of the Board
of Physicians and Surgeons at the World’s Dis
pensary. Whoever helps humanity in its struggle
with its inherent weaknesses and diseases, to bear
or cure, is its benefactor. Ignorance is not only
of itself a cause of disease and mortality, but it is
the enemy of every effort to cure or mitigate.
Nothing will so speedily remove this cause as
knowledge (an elementary one, at least) of the
diseases to which we are heir, as well as those
superinduced by our own imprudonce. Dr. Pierce
has rendered, in our judgment, a benefactor’s ser
vice, both to the afflicted and to the profession, in
his diagnosis of the disease treated of, and in the
presentation of the philosophic priuciplesinvolved
in their cause and removal. He is sparing of rem
edies, and usually prescribes such ns are safe in
unskilled hands. Asa book merely of abstract
knowledge, it is exceedingly readable and inter
esting, especially the following subjects: Cerebral
Physiology, Human Temperaments, Pscudo-lly
giene. the Nursing of the Sick, Sleep, Food, Ven
tilation, etc. In one chapter on another subject,
so delicate in its nature that it is shut up beyond
the domain of warning to all but physicians, so
accursed in its results in modern society, he is
most explicit, and alike true to God, to virtue, to
life, and to society, shows the truth as presented
in the teachings of Scripture—that life begins
with conception—with great force, to which is
K warnings.

A BOOK FOR THE TIMES '
The Disruption of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, 1844--184 U; Comprising a
Thirty Years’ History of the Relations of the
Two Mothodisms. By Edward U. Myers, D. D.,
with an introduction by T. O. Summers, D. D.
Macon, Ga.; J. W. Burke & Cos.
This book opens thus; “To al 1 tho members of
the two Mcthodlsms of the United States of
America, who wish to know and to follow the
truth, this appeal to the future against tho past—
to 1576 against 1848 —is respectfully dedicated by
the author.” It is pre-eminently a book for the
times, when everybody is seeking to solve the
problem of the future relations of the two Meth
odisrns. The later generations of Methodists have
here, in compact form, so complo a history of the
“Disruption" that they may bo
*’ posted ” as to all the facts and conscquodMß
that transaction. Those who may
ry to discus-- these facts,
need to km-w what is hen*
may ever be called on to vote
Intions. in either Annual or General
must know these facts, before they ean voMM
telligently. # Those who oppose fraternization
shou and read it, to learn how thoroughly grounded
upon principle is their opposition; while those
who favor it need all the more to read the book,
that they may learn how not only Christian prin
ciple, but common worldly integrity, may make a
permanent fraternization possible and easy. In
short, the book commends itself to all who may
wish thoroughly accurate information respecting
one of the leading questions of the day in tho
! Christian world; particularly, as it is written in
*he interests of the real fraternization of the two
Methodisms.
The subjects discussed are the relations in 1844
of the Methodist Episcopal Church toslavfry ; tho
constitutional powers of tho General Conference,
and the relation of the Bishops to that body ; the
action ofthe General Conference of IS 44—whereby
an inevitable separation of General Conference
jurisdiction was provided for; the subsequent ac
tion of tho Southern Conferences; the legitimacy
of the separation ; this the third division of Epis
copal Methodism: and the present relations of
the two Methodisms. It will be seen that this is
an exhaustive discussion of the entire subject;
and we may add. There is involved in these ques
tions much of interesting Methodist history bear
ing on other subjects.
Dr. Summers, in his introduction, while com
mending tho “irenic spirit” of tho book, says:
“ Perhaps no man living is better acquainted with
the matters discussed in this volume than its
author. He was for several years editor of ono of
the leading journals of the Church—ho has been
an efficient member of several General Confer
ences—and has been chosen by the Bishops of tho
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, as a member
of tho Commission *to adjust all existing difficul
ties ’ bet ween the Northern and Southern branches
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His relation
to tho subject, his great utilities, and peculiar
turn of mind, eminently qualify him for this
work.”
And again. Dr. Summers says: "Wo are author
ized to say that some of tho Bishops of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South—we doubt not all
of them will concur with their eolloagues—agree
with us in our estimate of this work, und tho ex
pediency of its publication.”

APPLETONS’
American Cyclopaedia
NEW REVISED EDITION.
ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE ABLEST
WRITERS ON EVERY SUBJECT.
Printed from New Time, and Illustrated with sev
eral Thousand Engravings and Maps.
The work originally published under the title of
THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA wa,
completed in 1363, since which time, the wide cir
culation which it has attained in all parts of the
United States, and the signal developments which
have taken place in every branch of science, liter
ature, and art, have induced the editors and pub
lishers to submit it to an exact and thorough re
vision, and to issue anew edition entitled
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years, the progress of discov
ery in every department of knowledge has liade a
now work of reference an imperative want.
Tho movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to tho industrial and useful arts, and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Groat wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country, which
was at its height when the last volume of the old
work appeared, has happily been ended, and
a now course of commercial and industrial activi
ty has been commenced. Large accessions to our
GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
have been made by the indefatigable explorers o
Africa.
The groat political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every ono is Curious to know tho
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which the details
are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in
the transient publications of the day, but which
ought now to takes their places in
Permanent and Authentic History.
In preparing the present edition for tho press, it
has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
most rccout discoveries in science, of every fresh
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions iu tho practical arts, as well as to give a suc
cinct and original record of the progress of
Political and Historical Events.
The work lias been begun after long and careftil
preliminary labor, and with tho most ample re
sources for carrying it on to a successful termina
tion.
None of tho original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been
PRINTED ON NEW TYPE,
Forming, in fact, a now Cyclopaedia, with the same
plan and compass as its predeeossor.bat with a far
greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such im
provements in its composition as have been select
ed by longer experience and enlarged knowledge.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS,
Which are introduced for the first time in th#
present edition, have been added not lor the sake
of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and
force to tho explanations in tho text. They em
brace all branches of science and of natural histo
ry, and depict the most famous and remarkable
features of scenery, architecture, and art, as well
as the various processes of mechanics and manu
factures. Although intended for instruction
rather than embellishment, no pains have been
spared to insure their
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE.
The cost of their execution is enormous, and it 1
believed they will find a welcome reception as an
admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy
of its high character.
This work is sold to subscribers only, payable on
delivery of each volume. It will be complete in
Kixlccn large Octavo Volumes, each con
taining about 800 pages, fully illustrated with sev
eral thousand Wood Engravings, and with numer
ous colored Lithographic Maps.
