The:Vilalnirlon county, press notice the
meeting, to he held at Carom:Ours today,
as more important;ttanany yet held. The
•
amount of. subscri ption ' required has :been
attained and'it mashie Only to arrange the
terms of payment/ and then push on the
work of construction. ' The arrangement
desired is that the subscriptions be made
payable in ten per cent. instalments each
month, instead of twenty-five per cent. at
intervals in the progress. With this change
accomplished, the friends of the road are
assured that it may bd built within the
ten months ensuing. The Pennsylvania
Central Company will accept, on these
terms, a subscription of $240,000; in plue
of _ the $300,00%. at first required. Our
Washington friends express confidence that
the present subscription of $254,000 will be
conditioned as desired, and the meeting to
day will witness definite and probably as
senting action by the subscribers on these
terms. In that event, the work of con
struction will be commenced at once.
THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
A Washington,dispatch'states the whole
,sitnation briefly, bul k comprehensively, as
follows :
F,ighteen Senators and Representatives
have forwarded here their projects for
bringing about *resumption of specie pay
ments, and doubtless twice that number
are in embryo. But Comptroller Hulburd
has told the whole story in his official dec
laration that whenever the people ponclude
that A is more economical to conduct the
business of the country on a specie . basis,
they can ordain specie payments by seeing
that their representatives make provision
for the payment 'of the national floating,
indebtedness. This, ,on the let of October,
amounted to P 56,021,073 in greenbacks,
and 532;933;687 67 In fractional notes—in all
138£4954,687 67 in paper circulating as
money, and designed to take the place of
gold and silver by being made ' , legal ten
der for all debts, public and private, except
duties• on imports,l and interest on the
public debt. It is these United States
promises to pay that never are paid, which
prevents a return to specie payment.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The month of November is memorable in
Methodist circles from the fact, that - the
7ecclesiaatical year of the leading Church
interests closek t and also that the statistics of
the denomination for the year are colnpleted
and published. We gave the statistics
some days since. The General Mission
Committee of the M. E. Church, composed
of the Bishops, and one minister from each
mission district, and a deputation from the
Board of Managere, met- in New York last
week, and lifter a careful examination of; all
'the facts arid inforniation relating thereto,
made the following appropriations for the
year 1869: Foreign Missions, $275,866,78.
Domestic Missions--Fdreign population,
$52,150,00. ' Indian Missions, $5,800,00.
American Domestic, $297,250,00. Missions
in Territories otthe United States', $14,000,-
00. Miscellaneous apprOpriations, includ
ing the payment of drafts already
drawn,, but' which., have not matured,
4204,933 22. Grand total, eight hun
dred and . 1 'ti thousand dollars. In the
appropriations for Foreign MissiOns,
twenty thousand dollars were fur opening
new missions in Spain, Itidy, Cuba and
Mexico. The Third annual meeting of the
Church Extension Society of the M. E.
Church was held some days.ago in Philadel
phia. From the report of the Treasurer we
learn that the balance on hands November
15, 1867, was $9,228 78. Receipts for the
year ending 15th inst., $80,607.,42. Total,
$89,887 20. Amount disbursed for the
year, $85,355 92. Balance in the Treasury
$4,501 28. The Society has assisted by do
nations eighty churches in twenty-six
States and Territories. This3s encouraging
front the fact that the year pievlons the col
lections were only about thirty-three thous
:and dollars. . _ ,
The fourth anniversary of the- Philadel
phia Young Men's, Christian Association,
took, place on Tuesday evening. Addresses
were delivered by Rev. C. H. Payme; M.
E. Church; Rev. Dr. J. C. Smith, DD.,
Episcopal; Rev. Dr. Herrick Johnson, Pres
byterian; and Rev.:Warren Randolph, Bap

It is stated, in the United States, the New

The 'Methodist, in a late issue, argues in
favor of lay management of e.hurch (Meth
odisi Episcopal) journals, that by Buchman
&gement alone will give them• their proper
rank and standing in the journalism of the
country, and that a moral responsibility to
the Church is a infilicient guarantee that
everpdenominational interest will be prop
erly attended to. The Philadelphia Prees, l
in commenting, says it is a fact that speaks
for itself that only those religione papers
which are under the control or managenfent
of the laity have risen to national position,
and influence. A newspaper is a business_
concern just as Much as a shoe`store or
a banlc, and needs the management ofbrisl
nese men if it is intended to ne either suc.-
cessful or influential on a large scale.—
Union, Mass Meetings are being hold in

It is gratifying to note that the late Gen
eral convention of the Episcopal Church
took decided action in.regard to the easy.
dissolution of the marriage relation now
possible in many States. To the practical
question, What shall ministers do who are
appealed to for the soleinnization of a new
marriage between persons, one or, both of
whom have been divorced from partners
still living? the Convention gave an answer
forbidding a minister from mairying any
person who has been divoreed for any other
cause than adultery, that one crime which
the Lord points ,out as the only sufficient
reason for severing the union.

The National Baptist is out, 'editorially,

The Advance contains very fall detaili of
the first annual , meeting of the Connecticut
Centennial churches at Waterbury.. Much
time was occuped in considering Praying,
?reviling, Reading of Scripture and Sing
ing. In the general disenssion of this four.
.fold theme, it was urged that prayer in pub
lic worship should be.fervent and -comore
hensive, but not long, (avoiding the tedious
length of twenty • minutes to one-half an
hour sometimes heard,) peculiarly scrip.
- tural and frequent 'yet tender, reading of
Scripture; varied between the Old and New
Testaments, with a larger-field for selection
than is common, with the people giving
close attention by following the reader in
silence with their open* bibles, or else re
sponding in alternate verses. Singing sheuld
be , congregational, led by a good, strong
choir. The flashy style of quartette per
formances, so rife in our churches, was
greatly deprecated.
Rev. 0. B. Frothingham; a well known
Progressionist of Boston, took for his sub
ject in a recent lecture, "The Soul's Unity
of Faith." It is reported thathe denied the
spiritual authority of either the - Church,
the Bible, the Creed, or the Priesthood, and
asserted an imuiediate natural relation, with
out mediatorship, between the individual

next step with this daring thinker, doubtless,
will be to.proclaim the human soul's inde

for widows and orphans, the sick and poor,
is ever present, and requires but little effort
to stimulate into practical results, but for
degraded women there is a strong repug

springs from a horrorof vice. Experience
has also taught there is greater difficulty in
producing reformation in thin direction
than any , other; which • has caused many

(From the Phlindelnbis Enquirer.) r
We are enabled to: announce the inspor
'tont fact; that all the Republican members
of the Legislature for the city of Philadel
phia have agreed to support at the next ses
sion,,j. Edgar Thomson, Esq., for the po
sition of ignited • States Senator from this
State. Their concord upon etch an impor
tant(subject is very gratifying; and the solid
voice of the ..Phlladelphia delegation' with '
the members elect will have its influence
upon the Republican members through the
State, to determine the result, and which has
been effected by the withdrawal, in favor of
Mr. Thomson, of the only candidate from
this city, Hon. William H. Kemble.
(From the Kitten:deg Itepubliese-)"
The fact that Allegheny county presents
the names of two of her most prominent
citizens, renders it probable that neither
will be chosen unless one or the other with
draws from the canvass. We conceive it to
be impossible, for that county to get the
Senator, unless their candidate enters the
Republican caucus with a united delegation:
We regret that there Is a difficulty among
them, and that; their difference cannot be
reconciled. Both the candidates from that'
county are distinguished for their eminent
• abilities, and would do honor to the great
) State of Pennsylvania in the national coun
cil, but it is very apparent, that both cannot
succeed. *• * But our choice and the
choice of the Republicans of Armstrong
county, is the Hon. Andrew G. Curtin.'
AlMough we hear he Is not a candidate, •yet
the office in this instance -idiould seek• the
man, not the man the office. * • * *, As
the case now stands, we could Make no
other choice if we were disposed. A West
ern man may by some be considered prefer•
able; but how are we to make a choice from
among those that we know, and from among
whom. e'no doubt 'would choose, if Gov.
Curtin was not in the way, whenme know
that existing divisions would render', the
election of tiie'person selected imposeible.'
Either of the gentlemen named by our
neighboring county of Allegheny would be
acceptable to ;Ads 'county: - Between Mr.
Moorhead and iMr. Marshall; we believe
there la no choice. Both are looked upon
as gentlemen int every way capable, but , we
meet the opinion that they should settle
their difficulties! at -Wine, and come before
us one at a time, with the unitedsgpport of
their own county, before they can expect
the support of their neighbors. For the
e redit of the old Republican county of
Allegheny, and for the credit of her inet
glorioua Republican majority, we trust that
she may be able to present a candidate eit
'dorsed b,y her whole people, and receive
e united enppprt of her entire delegation.

MESSES. EDITORS Elle to add a
word to the very modest and brief notice
of this visit, probably by President' Ganiett.
The College ought to be better known.
The party wwfirst taken to the Presi
dent's study, a Mfie large room, neatly car
peted and furnished., It contains an exten
sive library of well selected books, several
thousand volumes I should think, a good
telescope, a large French plate electric ma
chine and other - philosophical apparatus;
besides, a fine full length statue .of Rev,
Charles Avery, the large hearted founder
of the institution. Two teachers, Miss .
Johnson and Prof. Sampson seemed to be
!teaching their respective classes in diffetent
rooms and having excellent order and at
' tendon. As ,the time for the stay of the
party was litriited some fifty or sixty stu
dents were in a few moments assembled
in the chapel. - •
• Gen. Howard's speech was characterized
by - the most unpretending simplicity and
good sense. It was most fatherly and kind
in its tone and spirit and with tits evident
desire to make a lasting impression for
good. Three-fourths of those present being
i.
women, many of hem certain to attract at
tention by their eatness and in many cases
by their Cornell ess and beauty as well as
the ease and grace of their manners, the
General dwelt mainly on the importance of
their forming a good character; of being
fitted to resist temptation as it might come
in life, but especially of the absolute neces
sity of pure and pleasant homes tind of the
!good they might do in their own homes
and as teachers in the South. Every eye
seemed riveted—not a listless soul did I
detect. Would that our whole community
could have been present to see how gently
and mildly words of wisdom were dropped
into the hearts ; of these young people by
this noble and earnest Christian man.
~
He was followed by J. M. Langston, Esq.;
the eloquent colored orator and lawyer
who so thrilled the audience at the close of
the Freedmen's meeting on Sunday'night
at the Third Church, by his most touching
appeal for the poor whites - of Me South. His .
address to these young -people was one of
the finest things In the way of word paint
ing I have ever heard. With exquisite tact
he followed up the line of thought of his
chief, by narrating with - marvelous - power
the influence of a little _colored girl in
Memphis, in forming just such a home,
bringing her own drunken father to sign
the temperanee pledge,: and ultimately ,
bringinlz him to Christ. In a most touch
ing manner, tob, he alluded to his own lit
tle boy, asking him, on one occasion, "'Pa
pa, why don't you ask a blessing?"
No soul present will ever foiget this visit
to Avery College. Owing to the lateness of
the hour,President Woods declined making
any remarks,
'cannot refrain from congratulating the
Executors of Mr. Avery and the Trustees
of the College, both white and colored, on
the present prcsperons condition of the
College. On one or two former occasion
I had seen unmistakable evidence of decay
and ruin—great disorder—lack of interest
—foolish tawdriness in dress and other ap
athy, apparently on the part of I teacher and
pupils. Now,under the wise administration
of President Garnett, all this is changed.
Those interested in the welfare of this class
will be gratified by a visit to the College.
They need accommodations for boarding
pupils froni a distance, which. I under
stand, the Executors are thinking of prO
viding at an early day. The colored pep
ple of this section have a right to .avail
themselves of the opportunities, here af
forded throukh the idea munificence of

giving day was appropriately observed in'
the jail, and the prisoners; afforded ari
portunity to blend their voices in . prayer
and gratitude with those of . their fellow
citizens throughout the country. The ser
vices,were of an intensely Interesting-char
acter, and were participated in with much
fervor and religious enthusiasm on the - part
of the prisoners. A Sunday School teacher
with a number of his Scholars was present,
and conducted the exercises. The text of
the lesson, on the blackboard plan, was
taken Lora St. Luke, chap. XVII_, 11-19 v,
detailing the Cure by Christ of the lepers.
The lesson was thus originally illustrated:
"Jestrs, master, have mercy on us!"

Those familiar with blackboard exercises
by turning to the text recognize in
this chart one of the prettiest and most
powerful ever introduced. So many. great •
truths, such encouragement to virtue, obe

manner, while stir, the leprosy, and its
evilsare depicted in 'a striking and forcible
manner. The prisoners were delighted
with the exercises which, doubtless', made

NATURE'S GREAT ALLY, -
- It took the world nearly two thousand years to dim

mankind hag ever believed in: From the time of . •
Galen, to la comparatively very recent date it was
supposed hat, in order to cure a disease, it was ne•
emery . tolvitaken the already enfeebled patient by
artificial means:. Bleeding.'bllatertng, violent par
gation and salivation were the main reliance of the
facnity, not more than fifty years ago. Restoratives
were only - administered as imppiementiul agents. k
after the lancet, eantharidelOalip and calomel had
dope theitl depleting woriii . MOdern science has et.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are now giv- •
en with the utmost confidence and the happiest re- `•
sults. The reason why this admirable botanical
preparation has superseded the debilitiang nelsons
of the old snoterid medico. are these : 'it combines
the properties-of a wholeseme tonic, with those of a •
gentle cathartic, an anti.billious agent, a nervine, '
• and a blood depnrent. • Thus, whlle it keeps the
bowels free regulates the liver, and purifies th e
current of life. is sustains tile pl.ysical strength of
the invalid, and by this means t he expulsion of dis
ease and the restoration of constitutional vigor go
on together. • -
At this season when intermittent and - remittent
levers, with other complaints arising trom a damp,
mephitic atiosphere, are prevalent, course of the
BITTERS. is the best means of protecting the system .
from an attack.
