JLlKe many other educational institutions of the South, the Southern Univer sity was serionsly injured, by the' war. Military operations were fre quent in its vicinity, and as an al most necessary, consequence, the bnildings were destroyed. The close of the war, in 1865, found all its operations suspended, the conn- try prostrated, the noble liead and founder of the University number ed with the dead,-as also the ven erable . Chancellor, .Bishop Otey, and others, pt ,thQ iiishopa and Trus tees, Clerical and Lay.

' ' You m&yrerAeiubejr, that the plan of an annual offering was adopted by the Trus tees at the .meeting of last year, and soon after, com.me.rided to you by the tea Bish ops, (who are cx-nfficio Trustees), in a Pastoral Letter. For various reasons but few Parishes responded, - and. very little was given. The hope . is arjiestlj.. cher ished, that this may not be the case again. A brief statement of. (-the condition, wants and claims of the ."University'' must suffice for our present purpose. The Junior, Department was opened in Septem ber,, 18G8. . The close of the first year found the number of students, (nearly one hundred),too large for the accommodations provided. In view of this 6tate of things, a measure of success almost unexampled in any similar undertaking the Board, at its late meeting, appointed a special agent, the Rev. O. P. Thackara of Florida, to raise, by personal effort in our Parishes, at least twenty-five thousand dollars, lor the erection of additional boarding houses, and a building for the Grammar School, to be ready, if possible, by the opening of , the Lent Term in February next. Mr. Thackara has consented, though at much sacrifice, to undertake the work. He is eminently fitted-for it. and earnestly commended xto you, in its prosecution. The object of his mission, however, is entirely distinct from the "an nual University Offering," which is. to continue from year to year, to assist in5 'the gradual development of this central educa tional bchool ot the Church io our midst. Through this, the channel 'of our parochial offerings in every: place, it is designed ? to give all our 'people an opportunity ' for systematic contribution to ' an object wnicn ought to bo dear to their (hearts; and in this way, as well as by information thus annually imparted, to interest them tbe more in its progress. - ' -A Eelf-supporting point has been reach ed as to the salaries of the Professors. Be yond this the receipts lrom tuition can scarcely be expected to go. To provide for permanent College buildings, the nec essary apparatus in every department of instruction, and the purchase ot books fbr the Library, (now numbering over 4,000 volumes,) lunris must be raised from other sources. Munificent endowments and be quests by individuals will doubtless come in the course ot time to the aid of tbe University." But upon these we can not rely to meet the pressing necessities of its early growth which have been mentioned. It is rather to a steady stream of contribu tion lrom the members and friends of the Church throughout our borders that we must look, and on this we hopefully and confidently rely. To Viu end the plan of the "Advent Offering" wa9 proposed and adopted. "Whether large or small in any place, it will nevertheless help to swell the general amount which is now. and will continne to be, so much needed. Of the original subscription ot about four hundred thousand dollars, but little we fear, can now be collected. No State en dowment can come to our aid. Our brethren in' other portions of the land have their own Church work to encourage and support. We must, therefore of ne cessity rely to a great extent upon-,ur- sclrea. And as we ouzht to do this, .so we believe witli the rapidly returning prosperity, of our people, their common obligation . in this important behalf will be met in annually increasing measure. ' . The general plan of the University, as embodied in the Constitution 'and Stat utes, was intended to combine the best features of those great Schools of Learn ing in the old world which have so long flourished, as well as of the.-best in our own country. And in its religious- aspect at least, as it is developed! with '.' time and ample endowments, it will doubtless mark a hewera'in tbfiljiiryi'American Uni versity education, .J Though; now in its in fancy, tbe Faculty.

A Catholic Priest Murdered. a Jtian t Conresslou Shoots Him Dead The Murderer Walks info the Jail and De Clares his, Gnilt A Baptist, Methodist, and a Roman Catholic-One of the Most Re mailable Cases of Assassina tion on Record. From the Belief ontalne Republican, Nov. 12. A few minutes before 8 o'clock on Mon day evening, a man came to the iail and delivered himself to the iailor. savinsr that he had killed the priest and wantad to e put in jau..jNo alarm nad been beard in town, but Mr.Beatty at once confined 1 . . .11 -t ... mm in a ceii ana started .down town, and soon met parties from the scene of the murder, spreading the alarm. A number at once repaired to the house of the priest where tiny found him"lvinsr dead on the Moor, in Ins blood. The priest lived in a small brick house in the same vard with the church, which is located in the ex treme southeast part of the town. With him lived a girl who kept house for him. She left the house to go to a neighbor's, and made some preparations for washing the next day. On her return she saw a man running from the house, and on her entering, found the priest, the Rev. J. Convey, lying dead by his table. John Powers, who delivered himself up as the murderer, 9aid that he went to confess to the priest, and that the priest began to abuse him and highly insulted him by telling him that the Protestant religion was no better than a dog's, and that he then drew his revolver (a Smith & Wesson six-shooter) and shot the priest as he went to the table to snuff the candle. The ball entered the priest's head about three-fourths of an inch above and for ward of the ear, and passed through to the base of the brain, killing bim instant ly. Powers at once started for tbe jail and delivered himself up. No one saw him do the deed, and no one knew be had been in the house. The girl who found the priest dead gave' the alarm, which soon spread through the town. Coroner Jones at once impanelled a jury, and Dr. S. W. Fuller examined the wound. Con stable Bcatty and Marshal Sherman were examined as to the confession of Powers. on giving himself up, and the jury return ed the verdict that tbe deceased came to his death by reason of a pistol shot wound. inflicted at the hand of John Powers, in accordance with the facts we have given above. This horrible affair, the killing of a man in his own house, in this cold-blooded manner was the first murder ever com mitted in our town, and naturally caused a great deal of .excitement among all classes, and especially among the mem bers of Father Covuey's own church. There was talk of lynching the murderer. but better counsels prevailed, and we were not called upon to witness another tragedy that for. a while threatened ns. Alter the. tact ol the murder was ascer tained, and the particulars- learned, the inquiries came next, "Who is Powers?" "What was his motive for kiUmsr the priest?'tf , The) questiojr was easily answered:"" I'oVefs was "born in "'Ireland, and when a boy lived ld-Belfontaine. His motherwaa a member; of l be Catholic Church. But' we ate told, that when--a boy. Powers left the Catholic Church and joined the Methodist, and he says himself that hej joined . the Baptist Church in Chicago.

Xast Friday ; he came here on a visit o this natureTHis brother- inaw was the dhly hearhelghbor of the priest, and lived just across a narrow alley from his residence. Powers is a single man, about twenty-eight years of age, stout built and 5 6F! rather rgor)H fcrjpearance, though having downcast and. treacher ous look. ' t- k' In answer-rti the "Question,"44 Wb was his motive for, the murder!?, there was and could be 1 no"7 Satisfactory answer. The whole affair" seemed to be wrapped; in in comprehensible mystery. There were ru mors that bis -brother-in-law,. hjid a diffi culty withthe priest before Powers came here, but it was slight, and not of a na ture1 to arouse such diabolical passions in the breast of a man who appeared so cool and self-controlled. There were various suggestions, but nothing seemed to meet tbe case. , Only the facts that a horrible murder had been - committed, ' and the murderer had given himself up! were clear. Powers said that he went to the priest with a heavy load on ibis mind to make a confes sion, and the remarks of the priest highly insulted him, ' and ;:: started thef'; blood through his veins," and be shot him; and t b at if the Ut d- had - pot - killed him he would have fired ther other -fivef and that if he had not killed 1 .him then he would have done it some other time.

He said that his brother-in-law's trouble had noth ing to do with the matter that he never had anything to do with other people's quarrels. The story he told, and his earnest, soul- absorbed manner, with the peculiar work ing expression of his eyes, all left upon us. and those who were with us, the impres sion that the man was a maniar c.razv doubtless, on the subiecfr.bf religion; or love or both. We knew it was common to play the crazy game, but in this case we felt there was nothing assumed, and no attempt At it , beveral physicians, have since been in, to see Powers, and. .they, one and. all pro nounced him insane."
