The Bishop reported, that he had visited Salisbury on the 4ht 5th. 6th and 7th of Jury, 18;J9 pre. iched Jive times, catccliized the children 'and connnned tour iicrsona. He stated that it had been an- object with him during the year to visit every commu nicant and to catec.Iuse.cvery baptized per- son ot suitable age in the Uioccse where there is no clergyman or established congre gation; and this object he had nearly ac complished. . Mr. Davis was Chairman of the Commit tee oa the state of the church and wrote a very eloquent and encouraging report in which this sentence occurs, ''Net captivated byithe speeious- but seducing influences of the day, the church has remembered nlicay, that to her the object of Divine faith is her adorable Redeemer and Head; her only law aTMav 10, 1847, bv Bishop Ires. simple and entire submission to His will, lie was married on the day of ived ; only a feeofds kept by him r irfc66aplt& Sir Jitntf Ct Mitchell (tto Bdydeo) is the fifKt iiatrfe, ariirtng the lit Of contlrniatiodS, &pt. ! 9 J837 the last name is Cbas.

George Davis once a member of the Confederate Cabinet, as Attornev Gen eral and was educated at the University of 2. Among his seniors were Bishops Green (of Miss.) and Otey (of Tenn.) ; while among his Classmates Were a!so,Bihop Polk) of Tenn.,, the Rev. Dr. Francis L. Hawks, and Judge William II. Battle. He studied law and was admitted to the bar, and prac ticed in Wilmington and the neighboring Counties for several years. His first wife was Miss Elizabeth Fleming, of Wilming ton, who died 4n the year 1833. He was shortly thereafter confirmed, and admitted to the Holy Communion." lie r immediately became a candidate for Holy Orders, and was ordaiued Deacon by Bishop Ives," Nov, 27, 1831; . . In 1832, he was ordained Priest. The first years of his ministry were spent in hard' "missionary work; The town of Wades boro and Prttsboro were. 100 miles apart, and in each f these he gave services on the alternate Suntlay, driving in a conveyance from one to the other -during tlie week, lie had now married again, his second wife be ing Ann Ive Moore, also of ''Wilmington. She was in the habit of accompanying him in Iiis missionary drives ; and wherfthc ques tion was oilce asked, where tliey lived the answer was truly given in these words: "On tin: road." He afterwards became redof of St. James Churchj V umingt on, and remain ed so for about three years. But he was not long in working himself down. The city missionary work was constantly engaging his attention, and among the poor, the sail ors and the strangers,, he was ever ready to do his Lord's service. He then removed to Stlisbury and occupied during his residence there the house previously Owned by Judge Martin the same known now as the "Pres byterian Manse," where the Rev.' J. Rumple resides. While Mr. Davis remained rector of St. Lukes, a number of young theological students we're guided by him in their studies, among others, the Rev. Edwin Geer, who married Margaret Heckwith, a daughter of Dr. John Iieckwith nnd wife, Margaret Stan ly, at one time residents of Salisbury, but J then of Rafeigh. Mrs. Geer was the sister rof the present Bishop, John W. Bevkwith, ot Georgia and both she and her brother were children of Margaret Beckwith, one of the original thirteen members of tlie first organized Presbyterian congregation, of Salisbury. From Salisbury, Mr. Davis re moved to Camden, South Carolina, and be came rector of Grace Church. lie labored there faithfully for nearly six years. In May, 1853, he was elected Bishop of S. C. lie was consecrated in St. John's Chapel, New York, O t. 17 18"3. Bishop Atkinson, of N. C. was consecrated at ftie same time and place. More than 30 Bishops were present. The Bishop elect of S. C. was presented by Bish op Win: Mi Grecu, of Mississippi, and Geo. V. Freeman," of Arkansas. Bishop Davis gradually became totally blind. In 1858, he visited Iv.iirland and the continent of Europe and ron.-ulted the highest medical and surgit-al authority. Hit could not be relieved. Ite never in t it: red- -but bore his trial meekly and natientlv. and cheerfullv He died in Cdmdeii, December 2, 1871. lie was a wise Bishop, a true Christian, a great Divine, and a-sbn-ere. pure, good man, The next Pastor of the congregations in Rowan county, was THE KEV. JOHN HAYWOOt) FARKER.

The remqval of the Rev. Mr. Davis to South Car olina, was a great shock to Bishop Ives. He thus alluded to the subject in his report to tlic Convention : " 1 hat such Priests as the Rev. Thomas F Davis, shwuld be allowed, with the most heartfelt reluctance to leave the Diocese, and for no other reason than the want of necessaries of life, is to my mind a prob'em On all Christian ground beyond the possibility of solution. Noircumstance during the 15 years of my Episcopate, has tended so much as this to fill nie with sad ness and apprehension." The Diocesan Con ventbVn met in St. Luke's Church, Salisbury, May 24, 1849, and again on May 27. 1857. The delegates elected to the last named. were William Murphy, Charles F. Fisher, Benjamin Sumner and Luke Blackmer. from St. Luke's Church; Thomas Barber, Thos. Barber,. Jr., Jacob F. Barber, Win. Barber, Jonathan Barber, Matthew Barber, R. J. JL Barber and Win. F.

B. Walker, Deacon, had become an assistant minister to Mr. Davis. Bishop Ives in his address to the Convention of 1842, thus al ludes to the field of labor under the charge of Mr. Davis '. "The counties of Rowan, Davie, Iredell, Davidson and Surry come Under the charge of another faithful Pres byter, with his associate Deacon. The. mis sionaries here deserve great attention, and claim, although they have hitherto received comparatively nothing, a share of yur bounty. They have been, able to sustain themtielnss only bv limited private means.'! Thi delegare elected to the Convention of 1844, from St Lnke s were John W. Ellis, John B. Lord, Wm. Locke, and Archibald II. Caldwell. Mr. Davis removed to Camdenj Sofcth Carolina, the latter part of the year 1846, after ft continous residence in Salisbury of ten years. He was admired, ; respected and ;lelored by all who knew him. The Parish recd& of St. Luke's Church before the rectorship of Mr. Davis are lost, and the Davis, rector ot ot. LaiKe s Church, was rdained deacon, May 81, 1840, and priest ' - 18 to Miss who lived; only a tew months. On Jan. 25, 1854, he was married to Mrs. Ann Lord widow of tlie late John B. Lord, and daughter of the late.Dr Stephen L. Ferrand. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire, of Tar boro, who was a brother-in-lawl of Mr. Par ker. Mr. Theophilua Parker is the only sur viving child of this union. The Rev. John II. Parker was a faithful servant of Christ, and was greatly beloved by his flock. The Parish paid him the honor to erect a hand some marble shaft over his reniains, which were buried near the church, where he offic iated so constantly arid acceptably for more than eleven years. His walk and conversa tion in this world was that of an humble, oliedient, patient, and God-fearing follower of Christ; and "he died the death of the righteous." : . During the years 1347 and 1848, or por tions thereof, the Rev. Oliver S. Preseott, then a Deacon, was. the minister iu charge of the congregations of Christ Church and St. Andrews, Rowan county, and of St. Phil lip's Church, Mocksville.

Some of the most influential and distin guished names which have adorned the an na! of Rowan county, have been communi cants or adherents of the Episcopal Church. I have already spoken of, the ante-revolutionary period. Between that period and the year 1823, when Bishop Ravenscroft made his first visitation to Salisbury, the fol lowing may be confidently claimed as friend ly to Episcopacy, to wit ; Maxwell Cham bers, Matthew Troy, Anthonyyind John New- nan, Thomas Frohock, Lewis Beard, Spruce Macay, Alfred Macay. Matthew and Francis Locke, Joseph and Jesse A. Pearson, John L. and Archibald Henderson, John Steele, William C. Lve and many ethers.

GASKILL. SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO MiUSTUFjCTURED BY PACIFIC GUANHOMMY. THE LEADING COTTON FERTILIZER. Br reference to the reportTfor tLe past several years made br tlie North Caroli na Experiment Station, it will be seen that Hoi able Pacific Guano (tested by the commercial value) has held tho highest rank among the forty tr fifty different brands of commercial fertilisers ottered for sale in the state. This is a splendid, but not undeserved, tribute to tho Paefie flnano Company which for sixteen years has manufactured an article aniversally admitted to be un surpassed in its remarkable effects upon the growth of the', great Southern staple. Indeed, so well known is Soluble racinc liuauo, that we have almost ceased to tssne circulars except for distribution in the more reuioU districts and in those recently opened to Itailroad transportation. Although we have thousands of testimonials as to the value of Soluble Pacific Gu ano, we will only publish below a few from some of the leading farmers of this and adjoining counties, which will serve to stimulate inquiry among those who have not used it, und will result in securing lavorauie persouai testimony iroiu us oiu patrons to those who are desirous of learning its results in the past, which results, combin ed with the solid reputation of the Pacific Gaano Company, are a sufficient guaran tee that the staudard will be strictly uiaintaiLcu in the future. TESTIMONIALS : J. Allen Browx, Aut : The Pacific Guano bought of you last season paid us well, and we can saieiy re commend it to all wanting a reliable Standard Manure, esjecially for all kinds of crops and lands. Expect to use it more extensively this season. S. F. Lrd, Konan Uouuty. u. s. laioert, Mauiy uoaniy. A M Glover, 44 44 T C Harris, A F Graeber, " 44 DW Crewell. John Ingle, 44 tt ' Having used the Soluble Pnrific Guano for several past seasons we take pleasnro in recommending it as the best paving and most reliable Standard Guano on the market.
