New Orloans. This church, in charge of Rev. 1>. Wayne, had a omn and interesting communion last Sabbath, i’h small building wa> crowded to its full capacity, -ti c -ting very strong ly the pressing need of large er accommodation. Sixteen persons were received into church membership, two by letter and four t-. en by prob ''ion of faith. Two were heads of families and the rest yor.ng people, most of whom have been gathered in from the Sabbath SchooL The Spirit of God is evidently blessing the labors of Ills jervant. The church and congregation are growing steadily. Their greatest need, so far as externals are concerned, is a suitable building.— With a more covenient location and an attractive comfortable house, their prospects would brighten considerably. a''d they would find great encourage ment to expect large and enduring results.—5. F iVessyteriun. Carters villa Church, G*.—The pastor of the Car t- psvi!le church writes to the Presbyterian and Ju dex: 1 de ed a few days ago a little protracted ser vice in my church, resulting in ten accessions to the church* of them but one ou profession of faith. There are others who will, it is hoped, unite with us before long. The entire membership has been much refreshed, and feel much encouraged by this additi on to their small number. “Three years ago. when their present pastor came to them, they had a membership of thirty two, and could ou:y raise $300 for preaching. Now the •uember.'hip is about doubled, and they pay i *r pn/ucim«g. ulus uy sit-iiuy gruwiu, wuu out any extra means being employed, the Lord is strengthening our hands aud encouraging our hearts.” Revival ia Lebanon Church, Ky.—A correspondent advi>es us of a powerful work of grace iu Lebanon Presbyterian church, Grant county, Ky., of which the Rev. W. W. Evans is the faithful and beloved pastor. He was assisted by his brother, the Rev. J. M. Evans, of Maysiick, Ky., who did most of the pr caching. The church was not only revived and eo auraged, but sinners were converted.— Thirty one persons were added to the church, thirty on profession of their faith, and one by let ter. Ot this number seventeen are males, and range from ten to sixty years of age. Thirteen are heads ot families. Wives rejoice over husbands saved, huudun Is over wives, parents over children b< rn aruiu, aud brothers, sisters and friends are made happy together. It was a time long to be remembered, aud long will this people remember with g.'e the good brother who labored so fait! .uny with them during this series of services. The meeting continued eleven days, preaching morning and night most of the time, aud notwith standing the very busy season with farmers, the house was filled to its utmost capacity. We trust that we are thankful for these gracious evidences of G a s presence amongst us. To God be all the prase. Yours truly, W. T. Carlisle.” Recent Intelligence from the October Number of “The Missionary.” 1'n taw Mission.—A letter from Mr. Lloyd, of the :h o!

Since i :y list he has received to the communion of G arch upwards of fifty persons, a number of wh- tu had te n in a backslidden condition for y- ir- i u lie states further that the people •a ung whom he labors had contributed as much a- a iiu ired and fifty dollars’ worth of provisions towao's his support, and that more would be given it he had a suitable place where to store them.— A etter from Mr, Colton, of the 8th of Septern cr, mentions that the school at Spencer is now in tail operation, there being forty seven boys pre re. aud several absent from sickness. He finds it d tricu.t to get suitable servants, and is veryanx us for the arrival of missionary teachers. The Lutherans have been overtaken the wo :i au n iveaieut.

State Taxes Paid by Richmond —The following a stafem nt of the taxes for State purposes as "c l agaiuot the several wards of the city of Richmond, compiled from returns in the office of the Commissioner ot the Revenue: Capitation Tax, $9,446.

R«:;sf for Chicago.—The Common Council of t) .s city have appropriated $10,000 for the relief oi the sufferers of Chicago, in accordance with a request from the citizens, as represented in a pub ic meeting.—Richmond Enquirer. The Extent of the Fire in Chicago.—The statement t at there vrus an area of four miles by one, in the North Division, and one hundred blocks in the South i* v' -ion, destroyed by the recent fire, was not true. We were also mistaken in representing, the other day, that Chicago is twelve mile long by x hr-' T .e dimensions ot the city are six miles by three and a half—or ticenty-one square milts. The tire hu' ravaged a tract lying one mile along the lake, on both rides ot the river, and irregularly extending from 16th street to North avenue, a distance of about three miles. The burnt district is therfore, three equate miles. This was the hu-h >s portion of the city. Some four hun dud blocks have been burned. It is an area double the extent of Richmond. It is stated that 12,000 houses w re destroyed. in the great fire of London, in 1666, it is said ti at 13 a* houses were burned. This fire de -cr wed five sixths of London, although the area ravag l was only one mile long by halt a mile broad—or the half a square mile. It is obvious, therefore, that the Chicago houses were bigger than the London houses. 1’he estimated value of the roporty destroyed by the London fire was from i n to twelve millions sterling—a very large sum in -u u y. It is probably an exaggeration; and tne u.ue ot ;D,U"'.> tor the losses in Chicago is probably too high. i'he town is not destroyed by any means. There :e tubmen square miles left And many ot the tuiltl-ces swept away by the tire were old wooden buildings that will not be missed. Chicago will vrg from her ashes like a second Tyre. In ten tL_* tire will be forgotten. You cannot dis urnri or repress those people. They are already ordering bricks from Buffalo. It Richmond was rebuilt in two years—how long will it take to re build Chicago ?—Enquirer. Feres: Fires.—The great tires which have been raging in the woods in Wisconsin, have extended acre 1 x River, and cover a strip thirty miles wide in Shawano and Oconto counties. The large lumbering towns ot Marinette and Pishtego are .r v J with destruction. The tires are raging over 1-quare miles of territory. About 100 ..in. 's are rendered homeless. Green Bay and other towns are full ot refugees. At least 100 other in ic- arc-in danger of being burned out. Farm lings, bridge', tenees, and absolutely every thing have been swept away. Thousands of square nr.ics of valuable pine forests have been destroyed. Gears and other wild beasts have been driven in -may from the woods, and are flying about in v ry direction. The entire population has been fighting the fires without success. Koa. C. Delano, Secretary of the Interior, esti m.;' that there are about 375,000 Indians under the care of the government, who, with the excep tion of some hostile tribes, are divided into 142 tr ■and embraced within 75 Indian agencies.— The n.w pi hey ot the government—treating them a- us I-, who are to become citizens—is prov ing he ee nomicul, as well as humane, since the e >i ti.is department for the last fiscal year was mi s i G a clear saving of $3,634,000 over ihe last year ot the last administration. Iron Rails for the Tredegar—The United States bark ‘‘Resource,” William Graw, master, entered at the Custom house Saturday from London, with 675 tons of old iron rails for the Tredegar Iron Works. This company will import during the next twelve months twenty-five or thirty thousand tons of the same material, to be worked over into new rails for American roads. Mr. John W. Garrett, of Baltimore, President of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad, has bought tho Natural Bridge for $10,000. Capt. Moore has put the Deed on record. —Lexington Gazette. The Fredericsburg Railroad to be Removed from Broad Street,—The Council Committee on the re moval of tho Richmond and Fredericksburg Rail road from Broad street, held a meeting Saturday, A. D. Chesterman, E-q., presiding, when it was determined to report to the Council in favor of ac C'pting President Daniel’s proposition—to wit, that tne city purchase the depot property on Broad, between Seventh and Eighth streets, at the assessed valuation, and give the company a reasonable time to move its shops, &c. This will free Broad street of the railroad, and give an en hanced value to property in all that section. Railways Projected.—There are in this country between thirteen and fourteen hundred railways projected, in progress, and completed; and the number is rapidly increasing. Last year about 6, 000 miles were added to our railway mileage. It is Estimated that the great trunk lines of rail ways carried last year 3,000,000 tons of Western produce to the Atlantic markets, valued at $400,* fif from the sermon. Proper warmth, and ventilation without drafts on the worshippers, should be the chief articles of every sexton’s creed, and we com mend the following, which we fiud in an exchange: There is more religion in having a church at a proper temperature, at the right time, than may appear at first sight. It is a difficult task for a man to think very seriously about the future state, when he is sitting in a church about half frozen; or, for a mother to listen to preaching, when her children are shivering and crying with the cold. FOREIGN ITEMS. What the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Winchester havo done with so much stir in Eng land is done by Churchmen in some of the colonies, without producing much cxciterueut. The Sydney correspondent of the London Times mentions the fact that the Presbyterian, Episcopal, and Wes Ieyan ministers in a certain town exchange pulpits regularly once a month, and that this is done by the knowledge and sanction of the Bishop of Bathurst. The General Assembly of the Evangelical Church es of Spain convened in Scrilla April 12th, to treat of union among the various Christain congre gations already existing in Spain. The number of congregations represented in the Assembly was thirteen. The basis of the union was approved and the union agreed to. A meeting was appoint ed for November 15th, to complete the negotia tions for unioD. The French Language Displaced.—Whatever may be the truth about the growing hostility of the Czar of Russia to Prussia, on his recent return from Germany, ho issued a ukase, requiring that the German language should be used in all the public and private schools iu Poland in preference to the French. The Italian Government has determined that no Professor of the University of Rome will be per mitted to continue the exercise of his functions without taking the oath of allegiance to Italy.— The oath has been tendered upon this basis, but twenty professors have refused to take it. The Grand Scheme of a plan for bringing England within five days’ journey to India, has been pro posed in a letter to the Prime Minister. It pro poses to make use of existing lines of railway and of the Mont Cenis Tunnel to Trieste, and thence to construct a railroad through Austria, Euro pean and Asiatie Turkey, Persia, and Belooohistan, to Kurrachee, and onwards to Bombay. The total distance from London to Kurrachee would be 5, :ll 1 miles by rail, and 28 miles (the Straits of j Dover) by sea. At a uniform rate of ten miles and a half an hour by water and forty miles an I hour by land, the journey from end to end would 1 be accompli.-hed in five days, sixteen hours, forty- j six minutes. Of the total length of line reouired, nearly one fourth (1,170 miles) is already con structed. The highest estimated cost of the un dertaking is, in round numbers, £41 000,000. Austria.—The surprising rumor comes from Aus tria that the Emperor Francis Joseph is seriously thinking of abdicating his throne. His life, dur ing the past few years, has not disproved the truth of the old saw, “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” The disasters of the campaign with Prussia in.lS66 have been followed by constant in testine dissensions, and the requirements of his position as a constitutional sovereign compelling him to resist the arrogant claims of the court of Rome, and to annul the Concordat between them, I have doubtless been distasteful to him as an car i nest Romanist. He has yielded to the depres ion that has increased upon trim, become gloomy in mind, and disposed to retirement from all public duties as far as possible, and now seeks to be en t’rely relieved from them. Fortunately for Aus tria, *hrough all these troublous times it has had tor its vontrolling mind a clearheaded, sagacious Protestant statesman, Count^Beust, on whom the emperor has wisely relied. Through his influence, j Austria, instead of being the most intolerant and reactionary of the European States, has broken loose from its subservient bondage to Rome, has become a constitutional instead of an absolute I monarchy, and has taken its place in the frout rank j of those nations that concede and enjoy the rights of conscience and of religious toleration. SPECIAL NOTICE. Messrs, Dodd A Mead announce for publication “Tub Sciences ok Nature versus The Science ok Man.’’ By Noah Porter, D. D., LL. I>., President of Yale College. The book is in some part a review of the arguments of Huxley, Spencer and others, and aims to prove that on the principle of many of the current philosophies which claim to be con ducted in the spirit of the Inductive philosophy, it is impossible to have any trustworthy Induction at all. Also a popular work on Corals aud Coral Islands, by James D. Dana, Professor of Geology in Yale. This will be one of the most prominent publications of the year. It will be a large octavo volume of some 400 pages, and will be illustrated with over fifty woodcuts, with one or two unimpor tant exceptions, from designs made by Professor Dana, who visited in person the Coral Islands of the Pacific. In addition to the woodcuts, it will have a full page illustration in color, representing two of the most important varieties of coral. The charm with which Professor Daua invests all subjects that he treats is fully visible iu this volume, which will i be a valuable addition to popular kuow’edge on I scientific subjects.

Died, at her home in Charlotte county, Va., Mrs. Cornelia Daniel, wife of Capt. John W. Daniel, and daughter of Branch J. Worsham, Esq., of Prince Edward. The deceased was born March 21, 1825, and departed this life Sept. 16, 1871. The affliction occasioned by this event is exten sive, and in some cases of-a nature too dpep to be expressed in words. The gap made in t family circle is one which can hardly be contemplated with out anguish. What Mrs. Daniel was to her husband aud her children will not be known by those who derive their information of her solely from this sketch. In all the lelations of life, she showed a lovely character, an affectionate disposition, a duti ful regard to the precepts and example of her Di vine Saviour. Gilted by nature and cultivation with many, and some oT them no ordinary, attractions, she cousecrated them all to the service of her Lord. She lived for others, not alone or mainly for herself. For several years past a member of the Presbyterian church at the Court Hous^ she was not only faith ful and consistent but animated, cheerful, and at times even joyful in the dischaige.of her Christian obligations. It was uo minor obstacle that could keep her from the house and worship of God. Her own house was the centre of a delightful hospitality which went out from her to the ministers of God, and especially to her own pastor. The charm of a modest, gentle heart, and a meek aud quiet spirit, which she knew so well how to throw around all her intercourse, was in the case of this excellent lady marked with force of character, sterling sense and much agreeable vivacity of mind and language. The piety was of that refined and unobtrusive type which is as beautiful as it is sequestered. Like the woman in the Gospel, “She hath done what she could.”— One who has been largely benefited by her kindness, and who mourns over her dewy grave, would lay this poor tribute of sorrow and grateful recollection on the turf that covers her ashes, and already begins to grow green with precious memories. Mrs. Daniel hud for some time lost the appearance of tlond healih, and fell a victim at last to a painful aud insidious malady. Her faith and patience through Divine grace proved not unequal to the trial. She knew “whom she had believed.” Her views of the gospel were clear and intelligent. A week before her death she asked her minister to read the sweet hymn, “Just as I am, without one plea,” and when he came to the second verse, “Ju3t as I am and waiting not,” &c., she broke in upou him with, that is it: that is the way I come;” and had it read to her again. When interrogated us to her resignation to God’s will if he should see tit to take her to himself, she replied, “Yes, He knows what is best.” On the morning of the day she died, with a mind that was calm and clear she gave the same bright evidence of the scriptural steadfastness of her hope— tne nope ot glory—tnat was tne sure ancnor ot ner soul. When her minister began to speak of the grounds of our salvation, as being not in our own gooduess or worthiness, she herself took up the sen tence and completed it, thus—“No, nothing that we can do; it is upon the merit of Christ.” And so she “fell on sleep.” It was almost as if she had said, “When the pangs of death assail me, Weep not for me; Christ is^mine—He cannot fail me; Weep not for me; Yes, though siu and doubt endeavor From His love my soul to sever, Jesus is my strength forever: Weep not for me.” C.

J TO THE FARMERS AND PLANTERS of Maryland and the South generally: HORNER’S Maryland SUPER PHOSPHATE. (We court the Chemist’s Inquiry.) After 23 year’s experience in the Fertilizing bus iness, and after establishing a wide reputation for the purity and excellence of his Bone Dust, the subscriber has been induced to prepare a Phosphate suitable to the requirements, and every way worthy the attention of the Southern Farmer. The “Maryland” is a Itquvcnator and permanent Improver ot the soil. It stimulates equal to Peru vian Guano, and sustains equal to Bone, being com posed almost entirely of these ingredients, with a very liberal percentage of Potash in the residuum. There is no adulterator nor inferior article used— every particle of the Phosphate being ot essential benefit to the land. Neither pains nor expense have been spared in its preparation, and we claim lor it the greatest benefit to the farmer from the smallest outlay. For Cotton, Wheat and Corn, and as a general stimulant and aliment for worn and impoverished land, there can be nothing superior. It is warrant ed to run as high in Ammonia and higher in Bone Phosphate thau any other fertilizer in the market. Price $50 per ton, in new bags. No charge for delivery.
