Abbeville, S. C., March 19,181H. I<ast Sunday was a brlgbL beautiful uay and the air was filled with the sweet perfume of many flowers. All our churches had a large and attentive congregation. In the Methodist church Dr. Bays preachcd In the forenoon a most excellent sermon lrorn Kotnans 5 and 8. "Hut (4<>d coiiiineudeth his love toward us. In tbat, while we were yet sluners, Christ died lor us." Arguments l were fall and conclusive showing God's rich 1 and abuudant love lor us. while we nuu aoue 1 nothing lo merit, or deserve it, and that we should love blm because he first loved us. At tbe conclusion of the sermon fifteen members were added to tbe tnembersb lp, seven of 1 the number by certificate. About one bun- 1 tired members have been added to this church under the ministry ol Dr. Bays; forty since 1 Uie tflose of tbe last Conference year.

MOODY AND SANKEY, Intercut! liitf Account of ho Iiilore?llnjr H. lltflotiH Meeting in W>t?tlilnirl?ii. Washington, I). March 10, lsyt. While the Hou-.e of Representatives ha.? not been able t<i do its work lor a fortnight or more for tlie want of a quorum, aud me .Senate practically waiting lor the Tariff bill to be reported uy lis finance committee, tne people iti the cupuoi nave ior uie p?m uium been lending ilieir presence to the series oi revival meetings conducted by the wellknown evangelists, Messrs. Dwight L. Moody mid fra B. sankey. Alter four weeks of preparation, the series of meetings begun on Ash Wednesday, and lasting lor lour weeks, closed on Wednesday night. It was by far the greatest religious gathering ever known in Washington, and what whs more noticeable was the fact tuat it was not a denominational meeting. There were 45 different congregations represented on thegeueral committee under whose control the meetings were conducted. The meetings were held at Convention Hall, which is a block in length and half a block wide, with just 4.990 seats, including the choir stand, uuti every seal was tilled an hour before the meetings would begin, during the entire services, except, perhaps, one day when a violent snow storm was raging all day, and even then, several thousand people attended. The capacity of the hall was so taxed that overflow meetings were held in the several different churches near by. It required a iorceol 75 ushers to seat the people, aud it was done with the least possible confusion. The audience was made up of all classes of people. Mrs. ('leveluud attended, whilst Vice 1'resltleIH SiepueiiMuii, luciiiuciDui uicvauinet, Jusiise.s ui" the Supreme Court. Senators, and Kepreseniatives with llieir respective lamilits, merchants and capitalists, clergymen ami men about the city dotted the gath erlng sufiiuhniiy to make their presence noticeable. The delegation of Esquimaux Irom the arctic wast who were visiting the city attended the meetings, and au army of clerks and mechanics wuo had come to see uud near, uuu in many Instances to be convinced of the Cheerfulness which Christianity bevels In its be> it vera. Itwasan Intelligent audience for its size, aud being largely composed of God-fearmg people, who go to church on Sunday, and exemplifying some of their religion during the the week days, it entered into the spirit of the occasiou. Perhaps here may be found why Moody and Sauky have been so successful in their campaign in behalf of Christianity, They attract the church going people as well as the curious. Mr. Moody is of short stature and has grown somewhat stouter since his visit to Charleston in March 18Sti. He is by no means itn orator, nor does tie speak the best of English, but dealing as he does with plain illustrations, and presenting them with much earHess and simplicity he commands the alienllou of his hearers, and his words seem to take efiect In the hearts of the people. Mr. .Sauky is glued with a peculiar style of singing, using as he alwaj s does, a very small 3rgnu that lie plays himself, Tnere were others who sang solos who seemed u> touch chords of sympathy in Ihe great crowded oall, but as Mr. Sanky would sing one o! his favorite songs "Throw out ihe life line," all A'ax silence, and one could see readily that tie seemed gified with that spirit of rendition that no others seemed possessed or. The choir stand contained 1,050 seats, and svery one of them was filled with a singer luring ihe entire series of meetings. The choir whs led by Prof. Johnson, and in au<wer to the baton the volume of mu>Jc would *well forth and till the hall as none of the oand oonceris have ever been able to All It. The biendina of the voices was excellent, the ileur tont-s of the sopranos answering to the deep roll of the bashes and baritones, tilling Ihe hall on the full chorus and the softer passages floated over the auditorium, and echoed from ihe farthest gallery. The singing was >neof tne irlumps of the meetlags, and peop.e would linger In the hall as long as the music continued, and it could be heard several blocks away. Perhaps one of Ihe most impressive episodes >f this series of meetings occurred during the [.'losing scenes ol the last evening. Mr. SanIcy sang with touching pathos: "Where Is my Wandering Boy To-night?" and while the refrain yet echoed throughout the vast hall, and the hearts of the people throbbed with deepest emotions, Mr. Moody, requested ill to bow in ?lleot prayer for the "Wandering boys of Washington." Five thousand devout beads bowed before the mercy seat, and irom UVC UIWUMUIU bwuuii^ uchiui r\i uao on Incense of prayer to the throne of God. The silence whh intense, and one could almost iu*ar the flutter of aug^ls' wings in the tano> I lied atmosphere above. When it seemed that thesurcharged heart could bearthe strain uo longer, the great cliotr burst forth in Joy)us tones?1 Welcome the Wanderer Home." rbe effect was magical. Mr. Moody himself said that he bad never before had such an audience or such a choir. 1'he different pastors will carry on this work lor a fortnight In their respective churches. Mr. Moody and Mr. Sanky have both none lo their respective homes for a few days rest, when they will begin a series of meetings In Richmond, Vu. J. M. H. APPEAL TO KINARD. ?. Fine Hursps ?

We would advise our farmers to sow burr clover. It is ouu of the best of grasses for graziug. Our farmers are buying immense quantities of guano. Six rents for cotton seems to stimulate their energies. News has readied Ninety-Six that Col. W. B.

I DEATH OF CAPT. E. COWAN. .4 Frieixl I'hji ? IJcjieryctl Tribute to ilit* Memory of the Bullle-Scnrretl V<>lrrniiN. Oapt. E. Cowan, aired nlxty-slx years, died at his home on Tuesday. March i:{, lSi>4. His ninny lnilmate friends and ihe whole people of Abbeville county feel deeply the loss they have sustained in his death. Early In life he married Miss Sarah Jordan, and their union was blessed by eleven children, all of whom are living. He has been to us a useful citizen?a man who always answered the call of our proud old State, however desolate her situation or desperate the emergency. He served as a Confederate soldier in the 14th 8. C. Regiment, being captain of company ?. We need not expatiate on his brave and honorable bearing as a soldier, for there are still among us a"few of those stout-hearted, determined men, those fast fading monuments of our lost cause, who have no doubt borne willing testimony to their children of bow he o|ood by their sides in the vain effort to establish what we conceived to be our rights; how he shared with them their lowly beu and ate with thern the cruet of contentment. And when the sound of the war trumpet had ceased; when our fanatical northern brethren heaped upon our broken spirited, torn and bleeding people that crowning Indignity, viz : a negro g&rrison composed of our former slaves; wheu our families were ruthlessly Insulted and peaceful citizens liyed In terror of the torch in the hands of ignorant. unrestrained negroes, no citizen counseled more wisely or labored more earnestly than he for the restoration of peace and the resumption of law in our land. Captain Cowan perbaps knew individually more people in Abbeville county than any man who survives him. He has frequently served as School Commissioner; which ottice he held at the time of his death, and In bis rounds canvassing the county, visiting the schools, etc., there were few localities In which he did not find a genial welcome and a hearty support at the bands of his old comrades or their children. Though he suffered a great deal from two almost fatal wounds received in battle, he would not allow his physical pain to sour his disposition. He always met his friends and acquaintances with a kindly greeting and a jovial manner. We will miss his face from among ns, and with a leellngof our loss we tender our deep aud heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family. He was a member of the A. R. P. church at Long Cane, and In that lalth be died. His remains, covered with The scars received in nis country's service, were laid to rest in old Long Cane cemeiery.and many a tear bedimmod eye lookeu there for the last time on all that was mortal of Capt E. Cowan. .?-? mm - ? J TO BREAK UP THE DISPENSARY. Cotton In the Drill imu t orn in ine Hill-Cotton Sale*. I^owndesvllle, S. C., March 19,1KSH. Mr. J. M.

The spring communion of Providence church will begin next Saturday the twentyfifth. Rev. H. (J. Fennel In charge. Our largest cotton sale at one time took place last Friday. Messrs. Sherard <fc LeRoy sold 4t)0 bales, to Mr. McBrayer, representinr the Anderson mills, at 80.95 per hundred. The above firm had bought only good cotton, and It brought the top of the market. In the last Issue of the Southern Chrlstaln Advocate, It is stated that the Dispensary at Chester was broken Into last week and $279 worth of it's stock stolen. That quanlty will stock about 25 first class, or about 100 general class "blind tigers." Some people have been doing all that they could to put down the Dispensary, In one way and another, and have so far tailed, aud may be this Is the beginning of a new and united effort, to break them up by stealing all of the stock. A lew more as warm days, as the last two or three have been, will make a wonderful cbaDge In vegetation.

The subject of the formation of new counties seems now to be agitating the public mind of our State.
