The committee appointed to pre pare an address to the Church on the "State of -Religion,'? made a report, which was approved and ordered to be printed in. the appendix to the minutes, and to be read in all the churches.. This address reveals an interesting condition in the religious condition of the Synod. The committee appointed to pre pare a minute concerning the question of training a colored ministry, ex pressing the views of Synod, asked to be excused from reporting at the present meeting of Synod, and were granted leave to report at the next meeting. - The order of the day was deferred for half an hour, in order to hear Rev. Dr. Hazen "on the Sunday jschool work, especially the conduct of Sun day school institutes and normal classes for the training of teachers in Sunday schools. This exceedingly interesting address was listened to with great attention, and resolutions expressing the satisfaction of Synod in hearing Rev. Dr. Hazen were heartily adopted. , ' AFTERNOON SESSION. Synod met after recess and re sumed business. V The unfinished business of the morning, to wit, the report of the special committee on Evangelistic work, and the best method of pro moting it, was taken up, and the whole report, (excepting the first res olution, which was adopted), was re ferred to the same .committee to report at the next meeting of Synod. Rev. E. II. Harding presented the following report on Sabbath desecra tion: The Synod of the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina, in view of the fact that the railroads passing through our State, or operating in it, do habitually violate the sanctity of the Sabbath; that the quiet of our towns and cities is disturbed and the feelings of our Christian people are shocked and outraged by the loading and unloading of cars and continual running of trains; and also that many are kept from church by being thus employed, and are compelled either to lose their places or dishonor the Lord's Day; in view of all this, the Synod does respectfully and earnestly petition-the Legislature to pass some laws preventing the deplorable defi ance of God's Holy Command. The Synod would respectfully call the at tention of the Legislature to the fact that some other States have laws upon this subject, and that our own State has laws protecting the Sabbath in other respects. The Synod earnestly entreat the Legislature to respect the wishes of the Christian people of this State,and. to prevent by legislation this viola tion of the sanctity of the Lord's Day. ;, The Synod heartily adopted this memorial, and appointed as a commit tee to communicate this action to the Conference of the Methodist Episco pal Church, South, and the Baptist State Convention, both soon to meet in the city of Charlotte, and to secure the co-operation of any other religious bodies Rev. E. H. Harding, Gen.R. D. Johnston, Gen. A. Young. ; ' : The Synod also appointed as a com mittee to present this memorial to the Legislature, Rev. Jos. M. Atkin son, Chief Justice Smith and A. M. McPheeters. " The next order of the day was the report of the Agent of Foreign Mis sions, after the reading of which, the cause was represented in the absence of the Secretary, by Rev. Dr. Jos. R. Wilson. Addresses were also' made by Rev. John Douglas and Rev. Jos. M. Atkinson. The report was re ceived and approved. There has been during the year "about $4,500 con tributed to this cause in the Synod over $600 more than -was given the preceding year. 4 A tesolution was adopted provi ding for a stated missionary meeting every year during the sessions of Sy nod, with report, addresses and a col lection. ,The committee on Union Theolog ical Seminary made report,comraend ing the management and rejoicing in the success of the beloved institution, which was received and ' approved. Rev. B F. Marable, Rev. J. Rum ple and R. L MoDo well, Esq., were chosen Directors. The excuse of George Chadbourne, Esq., for failing to attend the last meeting of the Di rectory, was sustained. The following resolution was unan imously adopted : : Besolved, Thajt, the editor of the Goldsboro Messenger is entitled to and is hereby tendered the thanks of the Synod of North Carolina for the liberality add courtesy "extended to this, body, now in session, by the pub lication of its daily proceedings in an "Extra," and the gratuitous supply thereof' to allthe members of the Synod. ;" ' ' '--'V :.

Four persons were confirmed. The Blue Ridge Blade says that there was a regular attempt to buli-doze the town of Morganton by the Lane crowd from South Mountain. They charge the authorities with "prohibiting tbe liquor traffic and preserving good order." There were fights by the half dozen, but the law finally prevailed. Charlotte Home: Carpets have gone down faster in this city during the past week than any other species of dry goods. Husbands can tell in what manner they have gone down. The ladies of Charlotte offer for the best drilled white military company of the North Carolina State Guard $100. Weldon News: The pigeon shooting for a handsome breach-loader will take place at the Fair Grounds next Tues day, the 29th inst., at 12 o'clock.

Oxford Ifree Lance: The re vival meeting in the Oxford Baptist church still continues and much interest is being manifested in the community on the sub ject of religion. The ministrations of the Rev. A. C. Dixon have produced a marked effect in the town and vicinity. It affords lis pleasure to notice that one of our. Granville farmers, Mr. S. D.

Our county and town were visited on Tues day night last by one of the most severe wind and rain storms that has prevailed in this section for a great maty years. For tunately for our town the wind changed from northeast to southwest, consequently the tide was not so high as might have been expected. The sloop j Grape-Shot, from Alexandria, Va., broke' her chain and was thrown violently upon the shore, and sunk; but we hope the damage to her hull is not so great as was at first anticipated. Several other crafts of smaller capacity were sunk and one or two of them seriously injured. Fences and : trees were blown down, one MORN 5 1 N.

H; D Wilson, D.D., one of the ablest ministers of the Methodist Conference in this State, lies dangerously ill at Greensboro. So seri ous is the attack that fears are entertained that he cannot survive it. The mag nificent postofflce building is an ornament to Raleigh, and a convenience and comfort to the public. Raleigh cannot forget that it is to the exertions and patriotism of that whole-souled, genial gentleman, her best loved son, the late Sion H. Rogers, that she owes the passage of tbe first appropriation for the building. The Raleigh Bap tist Association is now in session at White stone church, at Earpsboro.

Windsor correspondent of the Elizabeth City Economist : Martin don't laugh now, don't joke and don't claim kin with any of the candidates unless he does with Respass. ' He is bull-dozed, hacked, frazzled out and will be beaten not less than 2,000 votes. Raleigh Observer : A fierce and denunciatory discussion took place between the two colored candidates for Congress in the. Second District, at Weldon, on Friday last. Charges of bribery, fraud and cor ruption, bigamy, and misappropriation of county funds, were freely indulged in. It is thought that Harris is the stronger in every county in the Pistrict except Edge combe. Captain Davis spoke to a crowd of considerable size at Egypt on Saturday. He represents the feeling as strong for the chosen leader of our party, and feels great ly encouraged by the news that he hears from all sides,! and the reception he met with in Chatham. General Wiley D. Jones, the Republican candidate for Con gress, spoke Saturday at Haywood . He is in high spirits.and is doing his best to con centrate his party on his support. Raleigh News: Let all good Demo crats remember that on November 5th a primary election will be held jc Wake county to instruct tbe two Democratic members from this county for whom to cast their ballots for U.

In bis mind the word change has no place, but- the same old speech is trotted out each time. Our reports from the congressional outlook in Orange are of a most encouraging nature. The white people are becoming more and more disgusted with Josiah Turner. It is now generally understood that Josiah Turner is to b the next Radical candidate for Governor. This was doubtless a part of tbe original bargain and sele when he "sold out" himself to that party. NBW AUVBRTISEITIKNT8. Heensbkkgeb New books. I. Fubmanski Shaving saloon. S. G.

The case of James Heaton was before Hib Honor, Judge Meares, on Saturday evening last, on an application for a reduc tion of bond.: As before stated, there are twelve cases against him, ten for embezzle ment, one for an affray, and one for assault and battery, the latter in Pender. The bail required of him in the first instance was $200 in each case, or $2,400 in the aggre gate. The amounts were reduced by Judge Meares to $100' in each of the embezzle ment cases and to $50 in the affray, the bond in the assault and battery case re maining the same as before, at $200. This makes tbe aggregate bail how required of Heaton $1,250, which is to be furnished to Judge Meares himself. Thq bail had not been furnished up to a late hour last evening, and Heaton,' as a consequence, remained a boarder at the Hotel de Howard. Dlagaated. Thai was a very appropriate reply made by a prominent colored man of our city, who, when j interviewed and requested to use his influence ahd vote for the Knight of the Lordly Strut the son who never soiled his hands' by toil remarked, "I can't do it; I don't know where to find the Judge. Four or five weeks ago he advised me to support the 'regular nominee of the Republican party. Now he say& the Re publican party is a d d fraud. lama Republican, and therefore can't support one who has just left my party after being honored by it, and now abuses it" Tbe. Case of Henry Spear. .We are requested by Officer Bryan to state that so much of. our article, in Sun day's issue, in relation to Henry Spears, arrested for killing : Charles McKoy, , as represented him as making a threat that he would have to be kiHed before taken, was incorrect - Spears made no offer or threat of resistance, but submitted quietly to the arrest, manifesting a desire for a speedy investigation, and seeming to rely with con fidence upon his ability to prove that he did tbe killing in self-defence.

There will be a grand Demo cratic rally at Brooklyn Hallin ihe First Ward, to-night, and several prominent speakers are expected to be present and ad dress the meeting. The receipts of cotton at this port yesterday footed up 2,441 baWs, the largest number ever received here in any one day. The sales amounted to 250 bales, and the exports (foreign) to 1,207 bales. We learn that Captain J. D. Stanford, of Duplin, is expected to arrive here this morning and take passage on the steamer North East, to fill some appoint ments previously made by him up the river. Those who have to register be fore voting at the coming election should do so at once. All who have become of age since the last election,' or have removed from one ward, to another, are required to register. We noticed yesterday a specimen of Pender county sweet potatoes which are among the largest we ever saw. They were .raised by Mr. J. R. Paddison, at Poin Caswell, and may be termed "big potatoes and few in a hill." Owing to the weather the meet ing of the Visitors of the Ladie? Benevo lent Society was not held as appointed. Tbe ladies are earnestly requested to meet at the Hook and Ladder Hall, Tuesday, Oc tober 29th, at 4 o'clock, P.M. ; I l: We examined yesterday an egg laid by a hen belonging to Mr. B. A. Mc Clammy, pressman of the Stab, which was very much in tbe shape of a gourd, with a tapering handle to it. Taken altogether it was the greatest curiosity in the egg line that we ever saw. Nancy Wright and Sarah Janfe Green, both colored, were sent to jail yes terday, from Justice Hill's Court, to await the action of the grand jury at the nest term of the Criminal Court, on the charge of an affray. The bond required of Jthem was $50 each, which they failed 'to furnish. mayor's Court.

Vollers store, on Saturday night, where he was acting very disorderly. Ar riving opposite the Court House'he asked policeman Williams to take his 'hand out of his collar, and he would go along all right. His request was complied with, and he had proceeded as far as tbe corner of Third and Princess streets, whin he. suddenly bolted and made his escape; t Officer Wil liams fired at the retreating darkey two or three times, but without effect At a later hour the same night Dicko. was boasting to a crowd in Paddy's Ho)lowof how he came it over the policeman; and made his escape, when Officer Woebse, who hap pened to overhear hit remarks, took him in charge, carried him to. the guard house.and locked him up. Defendant was ordered to pay s fine of $loy or be confined in the city prison for fifteen days. ; Wm. Koch, Joseph Ishbell, Carl Dob bins and Frank Closzier, all seamen, were next arraigned. It appears that the three first named were' acting very disorderly hi the neighborhood of Ihe Rock Spring on Saturday night. ' A policeman went among the crowd, and was in a ; fair way to be roughly handled, When he whistled for as sistance, which was forthcoming. The men Resisted, but there were enough policemen now on hand to manage them, and after go ing a short distance they submitted to the inevitable with as good a grace as possible and were lodged safely in the guard house. Wm. Kock was fined $10 or fifteen days in the city prison, Joseph Ishbell $15 or twen ty days, and Carl Dobbins $10 or fifteen day's.: Frank Closzier was discharged, the evidence going to show that he was acting in the character of a peace-maker.

The meeting of the Fourth Ward Demo cratic Club at the Courthouse last night was wejll attended, considering the short notice given. Mr. W. P. Oldham, President of the Club, occupied -the chair, and Mr. W. A. Wilson acted as secretary. . Matters relative to the Club organization and to the appointment of canvassers' and challengers for election day were discussed and acted upon. Upon the'conclusion of business the sev eral gentlemen present were called upon and made short but earnest and stirring speeches, which will doubtless be produc tive of much good. Among those speaking were Mayor S. H. Fishblate, Major John W. Dunham, Col. Roger Moore, and J. I, Macks, Esq.', of this city; Col. L,: A. Pow ell, of Sampson county; Duncan" Cramar tie, Esq., of Bladen ; and Captain R. P. Paddison, of Pender. v ; . Cant J. D.'

' The body of Joseph McKoy, the colored man who was drowned off a flat in the vi cinity of Messrs. Worth & Worth's wharf, on Tuesday evening last, mention of which was made in the StaKj was discovered about 6 o'clock on Sunday morning, by a colored man by the name of Ilenrv New kirk. Coroner Hewlett was notified, and an inquest was held over the body, the jury returning a verdict to the eflect that the deceased came to his death by accidentally falling overboard. McKoy was 'about' 45 or 50 years of age.and hailed from Fayette ville. Two Notorious criminals. Beverly Scott, colored, states positively that he saw the notorious Tom Johnson.and Simon Haggett, the murderer of Bill Boyd, together at the corner of Ninth and Har nett streets, on Friday night last. Haggett was armed with a 8hotgun,but Scott could hot tell whether Johnson was armed or not, as bis weapons, if he .had any. were con cealed. By the way, how is it that no re ward has been offered for the capture of Haggett?' Speaking Id Dupllaw Maj. C. W. McClammy, of Pender, whose reputation as a stump speaker is too well known and established to render any further remarks necessary, will address the people of Duplin, at Duplin Roads, on Saturday, November 2nd, and, as before stated in the Stab, Maj. Jno. W. Dunham, of this city, .will also be present and speak. We hope there will be a large crowd to hear these gentlemen. Senator merrimon Accept.

Church, who lives near the Sixth street bridge, was entered on Sunday night, while he was in the pulpit preaching, and robbed of every article of clothing he possessed except what he had on at the time. No clue; has as yet been obtained to the perpetrator of the robbery. Democratic mass meeting In Colam bus. ' We are requested by Mr. D. P.

The Birdstow and North Carolina ar rived out from this port yesterday. The schooner Annie Catter, McLauch- lin, cleared from .New York on the 2Gth- instant, for Arrayo R. R., via this port. The steam yacht Florence Wetliefbee, before reported ashore at Cape Lookout, was floated off Saturday morning at sunrise and taken 16 Beaufort . Very little, if any damage, was sustained by the yacht The Norwegian barque La Gitam Capt. Keilhan, which arrived here yester day, reports haviDg. passed, on the 19th in St., the same wreck seen by the Norwe gian barque Astor, on tbe 18th, and reported in Sunday's Stab. The La Gitana makes identically the same report as the Astor, except that Capt. Keilhan, of the former vessel, says be made out the -name of the wreck ta be Frederick Ebbett.. Lloyd's Re gister contains a three-masted , schooner named Freddie O. Ebbett. An attempt was made to board the' vessel, but, as in the case ol the Astor, the stench' coming from the wreck was so ' iniolorable that it was found impossible r to do so. No person could be seen on deck, and no one could have existed under decks,, as the vessel was full of water. : There is nq doubt that the Stench came from the dead . bodies of a portion of the crew of ihe ill-fated schooner. .
