Cothran, Secretary. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, nearly all the delegates from the different churches were present. Large and attentive crouds attended the two succeeding days. A number of Interest! nr addresses were made each dav Rev. H. R. Moseley gave Interesting accounts or missionary work Id Mexico, Rnd told about bis recent Imprisonment by the authorities of that country because of a pamphlet written by him and published In the United Suites denouncing Catholicism in Mexico. This pamphlet had been sent from the United States to Mexico and had been translated into Spanish, many portions being omitted thereby materially changing in many instances the original meaning, and scattered broadcast throughout that country. He was released from prison on the grounds that the pamphlet was not originally published in Mexico. He spoke of the extreme poverty of the people, asserting that nine-tenths of the inhabitant* of Mexico live worse that the poorest negro In the United States.

We have received a copy of the "Blue and the Gray" for August. Among the notable contents is an article by Walter L. Miller, Esq., of the Abbeville Bar, on Henry Clay, which we have read with Interest. Henry Clay was one of America's greatest statesmen, and during the fifty years ot bis public lite, beginning with the century and ending in 1852, he took an important and leading part in all the questions that agitated this country. He pushed vigorously the war of 1812, with the British, and when negotla Hons lor peace were Inaugurated ne resigned the speakership of the House of Representatives and In 1814 sailed for Europe as a peacemaker. He opposed National Banks In early life, but afterward was a zealous advocate of the system. He was tbe author of tbe "Missouri Compromise." In 1833 wben a collision between federal authority and the State of South Carolina was Imminent he proponed a tariff compromise, which was accepted by large majorities of both houses of Congress, though opposed by President Jackson. Mr. Clay took an important part in recoglulzlng the independence of Texas, and Congress.adopted bis suggestions. Afterward be objected to tbe absorption of Texas while this country was Ht war with Mexico. He always sought amicable and satisfactory arrangement of the questions involved in slavery. He was always regarded as a Kentucklan, but was born near Richmond, Va., April 12, 1777, and died in Washington June 29, 1352. He married Lucretia Hart, who survived Mr. Clay until 1864. Eleven children were born to them. The six daughters died early. They had five sons, one was killed at Buena Vista, In 1847. Auother represented his father's district in Congress. Upon the whole, this country has not produced a more remarkable man, or one who took a more active part In the affairs of tbe nation for fifty years. A Rising; Yooog Minister. Washington Post. Rev.
