The sections with reference to the location of the Orphanage were adopted witiiout de bate, but there was quite a long dis cussion of the section prescribing the manner in which the institution should Ik managed and be governed. ' Many Charlotte people, including a considerable number of ladies, were i present to hear the committee's report After the reading of Wednesday's ! record, the Moderator, pursuant to a Sunday schools and individuals have j out" ueorgia, ana r torida to a con resolution, appointed the following j agreed to be responsible for the yearly felnc.e concerning our mutual neces committee to m ike nominations f(r support of at least four orphans."

The chairman received tiiee ieport, and a synopsis of them, together with all the original documents, was pre sented to the commission at Charlotte, Oct. 0, 1880. The following is the chairman's report Paper A.: To the Sy nodical Commission for thees tablishmen ot an Orphan's Home: j Gentlemen;: -As. Chairman of your : Commission 1 would respectfully report ; concerning the duties imposed on me that I have secured responses Irom all the five Presbyteries in regard to their action concerning the proposed Home. 1. Orange Presbytery endorses the action of the Synod and commends the cause to her churches. The Presbytery is persuaded that the churches will con tribute 500.00 a year towards its snje port, and will increase that sum as necessity demands. No offers of land or money for the erection of the Home are made. (See minutes Orange Pres bytery, April, 1880, page 70.) 2. Fayetteville Presbytery assures the other Presbyteries of her hearty inter est in the scheme and pledges her co- I IIs i operation in building up and maintain- ing such an institution. This Presby- ing tery recommends the acceptance of Dr. MeKoy's generous offer of one hun dred acres of land and building at Sum- merville, unless a more advantageous otter be made elsewhere (See extract of Minutes enclosed.) 3. Wilmington Presbytery instructs; Dr. Marable to lay before the Conimis- sion tne oner 01 a tract containing 100 . 1 11 1 , 1 I i IIUUUMIUC I lie VI llllilim llliuir, uii'i w acres of valuable huid m T60 make a cmpleter!port of its condition, c mnty, 0.1 the VV tlmington Chadburn - . ttlwlieBttIBllefrf helps, and num & Conway railway GSJ miles from Wi I- o h annually, to the Synod imngton, made by the Chadburn Mills ; v.u'.,mi,BU Railway Companv, together with free I transportati' 11 of material on the rail road. The land has sufficient timber and brick clay on it for all building purposes. No offer of funds for erect ing buildings or support for the Home u made by this Presbytery. (See pa pers.) 4. The responses from the churches of Concord Presbytery assure us of their willingness to co-operate in building up aud maintaining an "Orphan's Home." One church, Davidson College, offers $30 annually. The Salisbury church and some of the citizens of Salisbury made the following offers, viz: 1st. Three parties offer a choice of several ten acre lots, in the immediate vicinity of Salisbury, each of them de sirable, and -of an average value of $50 per :cre. upon condition that the Horn shall be lortatd -tpon them. 21 The Session of the Salisbury church pledges $500 in cash, with.ii the year 1890, provided the Home i loeated at or near Salisbury, on eithei of these lots. 3d. The Session of the Salisbury church further pledges $390 in cash towards the establishment of an Oi phans' Home by the Synod, wherever located, as soon as the scheme seems feasible, smd likely to be put in opera tion. The session also assures the Synod that the church will aid in the supported of the home, wherever located. 4th. A gentleman of Salisbury pled ges himself for $50 towards the erec tion of the Home, provided it is located at Salisbury. (See papers and pledges enclosed. 5. Mecklenburg Presbytery approves the Synod's movement, and assures the CorunissionthattheCharlottechurihes I e following resolutions, and the con will turn over to the Home its sub- j sideration of them was made the special scription lists to the Home in Charlotte orir for tllt session this afternoon. j aoout $750.00 per annum, together i with four hundred dollars tried ved bv ' individuals for a building fund. . .

That although declining the offer of other locations, the Synod is deeply sensioie 01 tne irenero ltv that h;i nenero itv mat nas prompted these offers, and tenders its thanks to Kev. eill McKov, D.

H. That the Synod appoint a "Board of Regency, c usistingvof eight mem bers, whosh II have the management of the institution, who shall hold office for four years, so arranged that t wo shall go out out of office at the meet ing d Synod each ear, but eligible to re-eh etion by the Synod at the expira tion of their terms of office. 4. This Hoard of Regency shall have powr to elect one of their number as chairman, also a treasurer and secre tary, and to appoint such executive committees, and employ such superin tendent, managers, teachers, and other he:ps as t he necessity of the Home may require. A one of t hese officials need be luetiilier of the Board, except chair man; and said Board of Regency shall meet on day of , at Char- loti: for th purpose of effecting an organization under his plan. 5. ihe Board of Regency is hereby directed to procure by purchase or do- nat-on, an amount of land, not less than ten acres, 111 the vicinity ot Char- lotte, . t., suiraide tor tne nonie,anu erect upm it such buildings i?s may be needed as soon as the way be clear and without contracting debt, vesting the title in the trustees of the Synod of North Carolina. 0. 1 he Board of Regency is directed to incorporate the industrial feature in the management of tiie Home, requir ing the beneficiaries to labor daily at domestic employments, gaidening, agricultural I.b r, or mechanical pur suits.

These regulations may be chang ed by the Synod at any regular meet ing, as the suggestions of experience, and the necessitias of the iu titution may demand. Your cmnmittee has considered the proposition of the Rev. W. P. Jacobs, of the Thorn well orphanage at Clinton, S. ft. to appoint two members of its Board of visitors, and would recom mend th it the Synod decline the offer, as calculated to divert the attention and sympathies of our churches and people from oir own enterprise. And further that the state ! clerk of the Synod be directed to tender our thanks to the authorities of the TnornweH Orphanage for their kind proposition. -By order of the Commissioner, J.

An Advertising Scheme Which Bid Not Pay. Statesville Landmark. A man from a neighboring towu came here two or three weeks ago and solicited cards from our business men to go on a bill advertising the State fair. He sold space at $2; per inch aud raised $48 here for -which he was to furnish 20,000 bills. The bills came. They were about ftxlO inches in size. Stitesvillo cirds, 1 arid 1 inches eich, formed a border for an advertisement of the fair in the centre; and, except ing the fair advertisement, the largest aud most conspicuous card on the bill was that of the job office at which the work was done, tne proprietor of which hail worked up the business. The con tract was that these bills were to be thoroughly distributed. They were '"distributed" ly the handful. We are certain that we saw 25 of them on the street in front of one residence. Stacks of them were left on the counters and show ea.-es of merchants, where they are i 1 1.8; for wrapping paper for small packages. Oar business men who were hood winked in this scheme do not deserve ridicule. They went into it in good lank, with their usual enterprise, with the view of advertising themselues. This case however, raises the question as to what is advertising and when is it profitable? The man who wants to buy something or sell something wants publicity and he should use the med- takes a certnin space in a newspaper it , is for the pnrpose of getting before the j publie Uld it jg worth m fco him I t nfwd not to a rHtiona 1 Ulan thrtt if he has a message for the in w 111111 will Lfivt ir rn n rn 1 r n la ... 1 I. I I " ' 1 ' T 1 np,inle of a certain emmtv hihot mMn of reachi.ig them is through a news paper which every person in the county 1 reads who can read at all. In the 1 case in point the money spent on this Jittie bill was money thrown away be cause it. did not give our business men i that which they thought they would ! get by it, to-wit: publicity. The State fair and a certain job ofhee got a cer tain amount of advertising not much, around our streets and stores-- aud the business men of Statesville paid for it, they themselves not bt ing !eneficiaries in any degree what ever. Doubtless some of our people were caught by this trick because it bore the imprimatur of the State Agri cultural Society; and we take leave to say to the officers of that society that they do wrong to lend their conntenance to these catch-penny tricks. We are reminded just now of this little game by reading in the Salisbury Watchman that Salisbury was picked up by it just as Statesville was. The Floor Gave Way. Durham Sun. At one of our colored churches, re cently, a revival was in progress, at tended by large congregation. At one of the evening services the preach er had stirred up the sinners to the enormity of t heir sins, and church mem bers were singing and had commenced what they call the "holy rock" which is a rocking of the body from one side to the other. The floor could not stand the pressure and it fell through, letting a portion of the congregwtion down several fet. The fall came with uch suddenness that it created a stam pede and con.-itlerab'e confusion. The night'! metin adjourned then and tbre. little Confederate. When Confederates came swarming across the Crew's farm t reach us on Mai vern Hill, we knew they were com ing to death and defeat. We hail been driven back from the Chickahnni iny, step by step and day by day, fight ing fiVne battles at 'every rallying point, but this was the end." Malvern Hill, crowned with troops, and bristi ling with canuon, was impregnable L ii .i ...- , wards the Crew's house in the drv bed . , . "- wmiHj5 , of a creek. It was a capital rifle pit, and we -were packed in there so thick that we scarcely had elbow room. As the legions in gray attacked, our rapid fire, assisted by the batteries above us, was enough to demoralize the lines, without the infantry, higher up, tiring a gun. Magruder must have been insane I that afternoon to send his men to their death across that onenin? as he did. We could see them come out of the forest in splendid formation, and as they got the order to advance their step was like clock work. There was a meadow with hardly a stump in it stretched awav before us for half a aetnnu ,.,ba a,u enough to make our Hesh creep to see . ... the havoc worked by our shell bafore the lines got within musket rang. The maq on my left laid down bis musket and prayed God that the rebels would go back and thus put an end to the horrible work. Then, when they pushed on and got within range, there was a flame all along onr line flame after flame and not a rebel got within a stone's throw. The last charge, nvide just a twi light was the raost desperate of all. Thje tinea started with a yell and charged on the run, and though hun dreds went down other hundred kept on. We shattered and scorched and withered them with our musketry fire, and 1 finally heard them sound "re treat." We sprang np, gave them a last volley, and then'dashed forward a hfew rods with the bayonet. Out of the smoke and darkness suddenly ap- j a 1. nNi eareu a ngure on my iront. mere was a bla$e. and the man on my right went down, shot in the shoulder. There was a whiz 2 z! and the butt of a musket cleared my head and knocked the man on my eft flat to the earth. I had my musket at a charge when a voice called out: " Hold on, I surrender ?' I went forward and took hold of him, and who or what do you suppose he was? A boy not yet 15 Tears old and ns pale faced ss a girl. More than that, he was wounded in the side, in the leg and in the head. We bad then driven back to stay, and our beys were cheering and yelling, and I tmk the boy on my back and carried him be yond the creek into our lines. He must have been suffering painfully with hi wounds, but he never uttered a groan, I heaped two or three blankets togeth-r er and made him a bed, but I could get no one to do for him, There were dead and wounded men almost without number around us, and that last des perate charge had hardly been driven back before McClellen issued his orders to fa!' back to the river under cover of the gunboats. As my brigade was nearest to the rebels we were the last to move, and it was long after midnight before we got the word. Meanwhile 1 had inspected tin boy's Wounds and soothed him as best I could. It was plain that he was fat tally hit, and when he realized this he said: "1 I don't care for myself, but mother poor old mother! And sister Mary and little Jim it will break their heart." Bye and bye he fell into a sort of stupor that lasted for a quarter of an hour. Then he roused himself aud ex claimed: "It was a glorous charge! We knew that, we were going to death, but never a man hung back never a man lost the step! Were they driven back?" "Yes." "But we re.iched your line?" "Yes, a few." "And I was one?" "Yes, poor boy. Never a one came nearer than you." ': That's grand! They said I would be afraid, but I wasn't. I didn't feel it when I was hit. We were on the double-quick. I wascheering Hurrah! Hurrah !" Half an hour later he was dead. There were three of us bending over him when he suddenly sat up, waved his arm and sought to cheer again, but the blood choked hint and he fell back dtal. Twenty long years after, one day in a Georgia farm house, I found his mother, old and bent and gray, and little Jim, now grown to manhood, and sister Mary, now a woman, wife and mother. They knew he fell at Mal vern Hill, but he had been buried among the unknown, and he died they knew not where. Detroit Free Press. An Interesting Fact Why do birds not fall from the perch when they are asleep? Because they cannot open the foot when the leg is bent.

The snhject of history as taught Am our State has long bseti a matter of interest to me, especial I v that part which treats of the late war. While it may be natural that north ern writers should teach, and northern children believe, that thom who f ought on the southern side were re Vis and traitors, it seems only right that south- em children shoo Id nermitUd to look upon both sides of the question and should be neoun$pd to seek out the reasons on which their fathers acted, lt was with no small concern then that I lately read a history nf North Carotin now being advertised ia your paper, a book whose great merit is marred hy faults too grave to he left unnoticed; in which the opinions of the author are taught ns facts; the grave questions which eminent states- 1 men have hesitated to decide upon ar settled by a stroke of the pen, and th northern view of the bite war is pre sented as truth with a boldness winch few northern historians of to-day as sume; a book which styles the seutur of the forts at Charleston s open re-" bellion" which nO government should permit, and asserts that the " snenrd " doctrine of States Rights was hrough forward about the year 1S0O. North Carolina not onlv refused to aid in suppressing this reVllion, but sent 125,000 volunteers to join the rebels. Yet this history of North Carolina declares that the hearts ot her people were not in this war to which they sprang so willingly and to which they gave more men than any other State. The writer evidently confound the Union party with the people of tb State. We find the bsrest mention of Lee, some words of praise for Presi dent Lincoln, but to President Davis not even common justice is accorded. We are told that Psideftt Davis, and his cabinet rwrsistetvUy refused to take any advice or to accept sav Urn. a held out hy the North, lint the northern men made conciliatory ad vances; that President Lincoln met at Fortress Monroe a commission of three men reluctantly appouiml by Ifresi dent Davis to meet him, and offered them what would now; ajapeastriking Iv liberal term; that President Davis and his cahiart w4io hrvi cer tainly the merit of adoring: to their own judgment, rejected" "these strik ingly liberal teriusO and all others that would not setnr the separationi and independence ptt the southern? mate.

Ar nold to deliver to the Bri t issf the key of West Point, sems never to have entered the fair author's brain. Nor does the thought eem to have occur red to her that there may have been two opinions among statesmen on. the subject of the absurd " States Rights doctrine. That the editor of the News aiuf Observer; generally so discriminating and so conversant with historical mat ters, should let4 hie name to sutli a publication is a matter of surprise to me. That the hook is only for th use of very young children being w excuse for its errors, for beliefs in stilled in early childhood are the ones which last till death. The children of the South shonld 1ms taught that their fathers were not necessarily unscrupulous politicians or blind and ignorant followers of such blind leaders. They should learn that there are too sides to every question and that in seceding the South merely undertook to assert a right which had been claimed to belong to the States ever since the foundation of the Union, By all means let those who hava charge of the public instruction se that nothing so dogmatic and antt- southern in the points I have men tioned be taught in our chool.
