On yjciday evening, an admirable scr nion was preached on "Ministerial Con secration," by the Rev. D. E. Frierson, Pastor of the Church at Anderson C. II. The Rev. J. L.

The next regular meeting of the Pres bytery will be held at Richland church, Oc<?nee County, on Thursday before the &th Sabbath in September.

T, Capers, the able and elo quent pastor of that church, followed by the members of his congregation, accep ted the invitation to partake of the sac rament of the Load's Supper in the Pres byterian Church. The entrance of the Methodist into the Presbyterian Church ut the close of Dr. adger's sermon, was pleasingly impressive, and gave evi dence of/ the harmony and good feeling which prevail between the two churches of-this place?showing "how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell to gether in unity."

Buist is tho most capacious member of the Presbytery, large and full both in body and mind. He read the 1st chap ter of .the book of Revelation, and in terested bis orihodox hearers much by expository thoughts both novel and striking. The subject of the sermon vva%: 4*The Church a Golden Candle- j stick;" the Church, a school-house,! not a temple; and tho special favor of (jod abiding with tho Church. From first to last tho preacher pursued his1 own plan and style, never entering an old pulpit rut either of theological argu-> inent in technical terms, or of parsonic Intonation. His propositions were sim ply and clearly stated, and his discourse j ?"?" inlnpni'tillir onil IlKfI'llftil'n II " / O .

Of the meeting it makes the fol lowing report: ' The mooting was opened promptly at 8 o'clock, by the sulecti'm of Fcd crick Conkling as Chairman, which position ho filled with excellent judgment and good sense, pacifying ihe audience when disturbance occur red?owing to efforts of tlio crowd outside to force their way into the room, and preserving order in spite of the difficulties under Which lie la bored. The usual" reading of names of the officers then followed, and the Secretary?Prof Glanbenskeo? read Lho resolutions which were brief, weighty and emphatic. "Senator Trumbull was next intro dueed, and was received with tumult uous checrin<r, which, however, was surpassed by the enthusiastic applause from all sides when Horace (J rue ley appeared on the platform and took a seat near the speaker's stand. Trutn i bull spoke with great energy and lire, and not only electritied, but also in terested his audience by his eloquence. His assaults on the CO' tvalizing ten dencies of the present Administration were hailed with indignant, cheers, and he astonished his hearers by showing thorn the despotism which I threatened the safety of the Republic, j He uphcl I, in unqualified language, i the true.Democratic doctrine of Slate j Rights, and while denouncing rebels as traitors, he yot said they were never thieves, lie warned his au dience against the dangers of a cen tralized authority, which has already established, in dilForent States of the Union, tribunals for the adjudication of the property and lives of the peo !pie, subject to its own cc ntrol, and said this power was in great danger i of abuse. "Senator Sehurz next took the stand, and was received with similar overwhelming ovation to that of Trumbull, as the lion of the occasion and the leading light of the Reform movement. 1Lis speech was eagerly anticipated and attracted many per sons, cxpressiy to hear it. JIo spoke cauniy una yet earnestly, using very lull notes, liis manner was not full of lire and fury?signifying nothing? but clear, logical and convincing., ; His dispassionate arguments did not carry away the feelings of his an-1 diencc, but the}' appealed to their, reason and held their attention closcly. i His voice rang loud und clear through j the vaulted hall and throughout the j packed, yet silent throng,"like the! notes of a clarion. , The audience seemed spellbound, and only at in-' tervuls recovered themselvessuflicient-1 ly to applaud. This, however, they did repeatedly and with vigor, show ing the eloquence of the orator was. fully appreciated. Each word wasj received with attention, and ev?ry! strong point made against tlie Admin-1 istration was fully appreciated. As ( to the speech itself we can only refer j to the full report annexed, which alone e:m do justice to its acumen j profundi!y, elowo reasoning, wit ant oilier admirable qualities."
