LEITr. tlhe Work of the Sonthern Presbyterian. ST. Loas, Mo., May 2).- -At last night's session of the Presbyterian General Assembly the Rev. Mr. Page presented the protest of the Synod of d North Carolina in the Robinson mat ter. It was numerously signed by members of the Assembly and was spread upon the record. The moderator announced the com - nittee on oiganic union. He said e that the task was one he would gladly have avoided. lie did not appoint extremists on either side, but men who could be depended upon to dis cuss organic union calmly and fairly, and could further be depended upon to weigh well any action proposed. r He did not know the feelings of any d members of the committee upon the subject. The Assembly then closed its business and adjourned, to meet n in Baltimore, Md., next year.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-The cul mination of the National Drill was reached and passed exactly, accord ing to programme, at 3 o'clock this 1 afternoon, and with every element o contributing 'to make -the event one - to be remembered. The troops, about 2,000 in number, were drawn up in five lines, their ! centre facing the stand erected in the it middle of the broad drill enclosure, o upon which Lieut. Gen. Sheridan and a brilliantly uniformed staff had taken their places. Gen. Augur and staff came on horseback and remained .emounted during the ceremonial. Gen. d Ordway, chief of Gen. Augur's staff, 6 formally announced to Gen. Sheridan - that the troops were assembled, to rhear the awards and receive the prizes in accordance with the decision of the board of judges. An envelope containing a list of the awards, sealed >f with a ponderous circle of red wax, d was then handed by Gen. Ordway to .Col. Black, chairman of the board of judges, who itunpassed itoCol. King, conductor of dress parades. -This officer rode to a position a few >- yards in front of the stand, opended .the envelope and read the awards, eordering the commanding officers of the winning organizations to front in tturn as the several awards were an n n?ounced. t As the name of the first organiza f tion-the Virginia National Guards e-was announced, and the coinmand eing officer was called for, Col. King d turned and said : "He is in town, sir, e and can't he far away." At that n moment the colonel of the Virginia troops came around the stand from the rear. The troops left Washing ton for theirhomes last Saturday and the colonel and lieutenant colonel were alone on hand to receive the -prizes. Three half-covered boxes containing medals were handed to the colonel by Gen. Sheridan, ..who then asked if he had anyone to re ceive the flags. The lieutenant colo nel then came foreward, and the large e flags with their oil-cloth covering, n making a comfortable armful, were I passed down to them and carried away to the rear. rlthe other prize winning organi t zations were in line and their com . imanding officers came forward at the word, marched sword in hand to the stand, saluted and received from the lieutenant general the prizes. The cash awards were contained in open envelopes, out of which projected the rends of newly issued national cur rency in bills of large denominations. It seemed to be a problem with some of the proud recipients how to secure th'e bills in the fresh breeze which Swas blowing, take charge of the e boxes containing the medals, and with their hands thus occupied salute as they retired. Two hands were -hardly up to the requirements in ssome cases, and more than one lucky commander retired perforce without .t saluting in due form. Augus4ta to Have a New D)ail.
