A. Tyler from Clinton Chapel, in this city, and made Pre siding Elder of him, and sent here in his stead, Rev. Robt. S. Rives.— 1 Mr. Rives is a young man of ability and excellent moral standing from a boy. He is a modest, unassuming Christian gentleman, and we Jthink will suit our people. He preached in Statesville the last conference year and was greatly loved by his people, who regretted to give him up- Our good friends here know just how to receive strangers and it iB hoped that they will make our new minister feel that he is at home as soon as he reaches the city. Let them take hold of him at once and not wait for any ceremony or form ality. He is our minister, and we are his people. Let us all show him that we feel like we are all of one family. He has a wife and two or three children. They arc from the Cape Pear section. The Messenger wel comes him to his new field. REV. J. A. TYLER. This gentleman who has labored with us the last three years, having served as long as the Methodist cus tom allows, has been sent to new and broader fields to labor in. He is now Presiding Elder over the Concord district, which has been presided over the last two years by Elder C. R. Harris. This district takes in Salisbury, Concord, Monroe, &c. He will be expected to hold about 52 quarterly meetings at 13 different places and preach at each meeting. The people of his church here did not want to give him up. His fam ily will remain with us, and we may expect to see him about the middle of nearlg every week. SOME OF THE APPOINTMENTS.

How Can We Sucoeed. There is no question harder than this to answer properly, let it come as it may, and from what source, and it seems more so to a poor, in experienced race, that has such evils to contend with as our race has had; but we must face the mu sic and tiy to prove ourselves “Mas ters of the situation.” We must do as all other races have done that have succeeded, and it requires edu cation as well as thought and hard work. The people must be taught to know good from bad, and right from wrong. This should not be left for the school teacher, alone, but it must commenced in the family. The mothers and fathers of the rising generation must set good ex amples before their children. They should be taught to be truthful aud honest, which will make them relia ble and respected. Do what you can for them at home, aud then send them to school, where they may learn to read and write, if no more; but they should be kept in school until they complete an Eng lish education. They should be taught to work, for there cannot be any swjcess without labor. We must have more laborers and fewer loaf ers ; more honest men and fewer thieves- More of our people must Igo to the farm, where they can make an independent living, in the place of trying to stay in the cities and towns. Give more attention to agriculture, and less to politics; give more attention to home inter ests, and less to national affairs, for the present. We should treat every man with respect, regardless of his religion or nationality, and demand the same from him, in any way be coming a gentleman. Learn to save as well as work hard and col lect what we earn. — Watchman. An African Blahop In The English Church. Rev. Samuel Crowther, D.D., a native African of the Akeo tribe, the distinguished mark of which he yet bear upon his cheeks, is one of the Bishops of the Church of En gland. This very learned and dis tinguished preacher when about 11 years of age, with others of his tribe, were taken captives by another hos tile tribe and sold and put on board of a slave ship which, beforo reach ing its destined port, was captured by tho English cruiser and taken to Sierra Leone, where the captives were set free. Young Crowther was put to school at Free Town, which he attended for some time, and made rapid progress in his stud ies and was subsequently taken to England to receive a higher training. He received a liberal education 1 and also prepared lor missionary work and returned to his native country' and established the Christian reli gion. He translated the Bible into his own native tongue, and made up a grammar of his own language and wrote a dictionary of the language of his countrymen. In a visit to England a few years ago, he had conferred upon him the title of D.D., by one of the highest of England’s institutions of learning. He becamo an object of admiration of the Queen and her Consort who became his patrons. While wo were on the west coast of Africa, laboring as a missionary a few years ago, Dr. Crowther made another visit to England and was then created Bishop of the Valley of the Niger, where he is doing a great work in the cause of Chris tianity, under the care of tho Mis sionary Society of tho English Church. It is worthy of remark in this connection, that the English people are doing more for Africa’s redemption than any other poople in the world. Were the American people as liberal as the English are in their views toward the African race, there would certainly be a mote rapid change in the aspect of tho race than we have over seen. No people on the globe were ever so warped by the institutions of slavery as the American nation.— No elevated condition of the black man in this country seems to dissi pate their prejudice to the extent of a moral recognition of his moral or intellectual worth; not even in a Crowther, who is a living sample of the high susceptibility to which the black race may aspiro. Yet, they must “Arise.”— Nimrod. Chicago Iron Mill Closed. Chicago, Dec. I.—The Northside Rolling Mills were shut down for want of work, throwing out of employment 1,800 to 2,000 men.
