The Religious Conventions. Tho spring-tlmo brings tho various religious bodies of Ibo country into Bossion, Tho Southern Baptist Convention bas bold a most harmonious session at Qrooovillo. Tho Episcopal Convention is in sossion ut Spar? (Auburg. Tho General Conference of tho Methodist Church, South, is in session nt Nashville and the Ocnornl Assembly of tho Southern Presbyterian Church will bo held in a low days at Atlanta, instead of nt Co? Inmhuti, whore it was (bought prudent for it to meet on account of tho emull pox senro nt tho former piuco. Wo hope to bo able hero after to givo tho results in condensed form of tho important work of tho bodice. Tho Through Trains. The Greenville News, of Saturday, la monts as follows: "After tiwlay tho through train from Co lumbia, which hus heretofore run to ?his city, will only como to Bolton, whore an cngino with two passenger conches will meet it and bring tho paseongors for this point on thc samo schedule as at present. This, of course, makes Greenville a branch station, but will neither effect the health, prosperity nor happiness of its inhabitants. They will, of conree, bo put to a considerable inconvenience by n change of cars nt Belton, but this is only one. of tho ills that flesh is heir to." Tho through train from Charleston, under Cnpt. Isaacs, one of tho oldest nnd most efficient conductors on tho Columbia and Grccnvillo Bond, carno in Monday last. These through trains to Walhalla aro quito an ndvantago to the placo nnd will become ono of tho permanent institutions of our great railroad system. Wo hope to bo able to chronicle ero long that woik has com menced on thc Blue Bulgo Bailroad and that our splendid new fast through trains will continuo on to Knoxville at an oarly day 1 Tho Southern Baptist Convention met in Greenville last week Thc ntlcndunco of dele., gates was largo, although Ibero was some complaint that ono or more of tho railroads had not been liberal in tho way of reduced faros ns thoy might havo been. The Con vention is a representative body and keeps watoh and ward ovor tho intorosts of tho church in tho Southern States. Tho report shows that tho Theological Seminary nt Louisville, Kentucky, was io a fairly prosperous oouditiou under tho Presi dency of Dr. Boy oe. Ono of tho exciting questions boforo thc Convention was thc removal of tho Homo Mission Board from Marion, Ala., to Atlanta, Qa. The Convention was well nigh unani mous in tho vote for removal-228 to 13. It was insisted in tho discussion on this subject that Atlanta was full of pluck, energy and perseverance, and that thoso dcsirablo qualities would bo infusod into tho members of tho Board, if it was moved to Atlanta, and this argumont had its weight. Tho Convention seems disposed lo break with tho American Biblo Society in regard to Bibles for foreign missionary work. Tho Churoh will as soon ns it cnn print Bibles for foroign missionary work. James' translation le satisfactory for all purposos at homo, but edi tiens, unequivocal in relation to immersion, wero thought to bo noooasary for foreign mis* sionary work. In nil other respects thcro is harmony and cordiality between Baptists and tho American Bible Society. Many other important and interesting mat ters of loss moment engaged tho uttontion of this ohio and vcncrablo body. Many of tho ablest members of tho denom ination in the South wero prosent, among them notably wore Gov. Brown and Dr. Mell, of Georgia; Dr. Boyeo, of Kentucky, and others, Tho next meeting of tho Convention will bo hold at Wnco, Texas, in May next. Assassination. Assassination is ono of tho blackest and viloBt in tho annals of crime and is from its prominent frequency alnrming to all good i citizens of every country. Tho death of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke, in Ireland, fills tho public koort of tho world willi dis gust and dismay. Just nt tho timo when tho English Government, having failed apparently in its efforts nt coercion, was endeavoring by thc appointment of these ostiruablo gentlemen ns micro of Ireland to ameliorate tho condition of tho Irish poo plo, they were brutally nssasseinntcd in tho most publio manner. So fur all efforts of thc Govcrnmoot and pooplo to discover and arrest tho perpetrators of tho horrible crime have been futile.

A Trip Across the Country Cconoo and Piekens. DEAR COURIER: YOU have often asked us to contribute lo your columns anything (hal wc regarded worthy ol' note or of interest lo the reading public, lt may not bc a matter of con cern lo auy of your readers lo know that wc wc uso the plural, not because such is thc con scious dignity mid importance of Hie writer, that ho regards himself of more value than belongs to thc idea ot' unity, but we say tee, because there were (woof ns-left t li o town of Walhalla on thc afiei Huon of Ila- 5th instant, making u circuit of fifty miles and returning lo the start ing point on thc evening of thc 7th. Hut il is a fad that a party of two did take such a lour and this fact may excite ibo curiosity of some to know whither I ll O j went, what they saw and heard and what arc thc impressions made on them. Tho objective point of our (rip was thc town of Central, on thc Air I,inc Railway, half way between the cilios of Atlanta and Charlotte. Our first stage was ulong the Greenville road via thc High Tails lo Old l'ickens Lour! House, or rather lo thc site of what in days gone bv was thc court house (own of l'ickens County including the now l'ickensand Ooonec Counties Thc most noteworthy feature thal attracted om attention on thc way he.ween this ami Oh Piekens wns thc number of new clearings nm BCltlementS. A short while ago there wa: almost ono continuons forest Hom ('one Creel to the High Falls. Now newly cleared field and new houses arc to bc seen at short interval along tho whole route. This certainly is signiti cant. Thc baud of progress and improvemcn are nt work. At tho High Falls wc hailed a few minute where wc met Capt. J. Hilary Sligh. Ho i busy nt work in utilizing thc facilities afferde by tho place for tanning. Thia" business wi doubtless bc made a success under his manage mcnt. There mighl bo other industries starte at this piuco which would contribute nol only t Ibo profit of individual proprietors, but lo Hi wealth of thc county. There uro advantage offered at High Falls for running machiner which ought to bc embraced. Thcro is a nain dam across Little Uiver at the falls which maki a great water power available with but coir parativcly little labor. There ought to be u lac lory al t'ont poi nt on a scale ontensive enoug to manu I net ure all thc cotton raised in ll upper part of South Carolina. What a gre factor such an enterprise would bo in thc mi terittl development of Oconcc County. After a pleasant conversation with Capt. and his good lady we drove on lo tho residen of Mr. Silas Cannon, where wo halted for il night. Mr. C's dwelling is on thc bank of i! Keowcc River and within Ibo incorporo limils of what was once Old l'ickens. Thc nrc now only two white families living on t area formerly included in thc town. Mr. Ca non is one of Hie thrifty and enterprising fin ers of Oconcc. He linds no trouble in sccuri labor. Ile pays thc laborer wages for ibu til he is employed. Hy Ibis plan ho can comma whatever labor ho needs and al tho dcsn lime, und he is succeeding. On Hie morning of the Gib, instead of pi cccding on our journey,we yielded lo the teni talion of trying our luck al angling in beautiful waters of tho Keowcc, but we failed tempt many of thc finny tribe to (ry our b: Alter a pleasant sojourn with .Mr. Cannon crossed over (ho river into l'ickens county i proceeded in thc direction ol' Central. WI our road in (his county was nol dost il ut o of signs of improvement, yet these signs wero so frequent as in Oconcc. This difference r bc owing mainly lo (he nature of thc corni through wbicli our road happened lo lie. Kr in thc afternoon wo stopped al (bc residene Mr. John Hoggs, a most delightful country ho within a few hundred yards of Twelve ? River. Mr. Hoggs is tho son in-law of fellow-townsman, Capt. J. W. Hollcmaii. H. is nn enthusiastic young farmer. Hcaui fields of grain, patches of clover and arranged and commodious farm houses, evidences of Ibo interest taken by thepropri ns well ns thc good management which is harbinger of success. Would that moro of young men would give their talents and ener to thc great work of farming. Wo call il great work, because upon it, moro than 1 other, depends tho development and prospt of tho country. Let our farmers bo thrifty intelligent and every interest of our pcoplo bo advancod in proportion. Mako tho farr interest of any section a success and oihci duslrics will spring up as a natural conscquc Whatever tends to tho increase ol' capital paves the way for now investments und cn distinct departments of labor-leisure for ? i.,. ???.i'''.' ? . ,? , . .???.!!! cultivation of tho mini, (ho application of theory to nd vane oil and enlarged practice, dis coveries io the Held of scientific investigation, nud invention ia the way of the arts, mercantile pursuits, tho learned professions, in a word, all that contributes to the completion aud perfection of tho Kilto or community-aro the results mainly of tho lnorcauc of wealth achieved by agriculture. Uenoo we cannot magnify too much tho importance of farm work. You may talk about railroads and factories as necessary to Hie development of this Piedmont region, and wo would not disparogo in tho least degree enterprises in those direotions, but tho greatest and most essential factor lu attaining tho true permanent and real prosperity of our up count ry is thc farm work. Let our people advance along this line until they understand how to make Hie mother cartti yield the riohost and groatcst variety of profitable crops of willoh sho is capa ble, then all the other facilities for trade and travel and tho conveniences of lifo will be (ho necessary sequence. Enough of this or wo will not reach the point to which nc started. After spending tho night nuder thc hospitable roof of Mr. Hoggs wo proceeded on (ho morning of tho 7th to tho town of Central, a distance ol' three miles. Wo wcro accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. H., who went with us lo thc Presbyterian Church In Central. It was tho Kubba th. We wero much pleased as wo neared (he pince to see thc new and beautiful dress in which (ho church edifice appeared. The handsof some noble hearted ladies had been nt work. Ood bless tho ladies! Neither Ibo church nor tho Stale oan got along without them. A little band of Presbyterians were organized into a church two or three years ago in Central, They wcic seemingly loo weak to provide for themselves staled supplies of tho means of grace. They had no building in which to conduct tho public worship. Tho Baptist denomination kindly offered them the uso of their house when liol occupied by them selves. Tho necessity of having a church of their own was soon realized, and il vas not long until a commodious frame building was creeled on a beautiful rising ground on thc Wesl side of thc town. But the contributions for Ihcclturoli building (vere not adequate lo its completion. Thc good work had lo stop on half way ground, unpainted, uncoiled, without n stove and bell. The good people thought (hey had done all that they were able to do and therefore they must bc content to worship God in a half finished house. Wc mean by tho good people, the meir, but thc best people, thc ladies, said that more could bo done and must bo done. Wo might give thc names of thc nobie spirited Christian ladies who load thc way in thc work, but for lear (hal wc. might omit some who ure equally worthy ol' meii i iou, we forbear. Wo know thai these ladies, being actuated by purely Christian mo tives, were not seeking the notice and praise of the world, and therefore would prefer not to have their nil III es published. They have raised money enough nearly to complete the work, thal of painting already finished, >ind they aro de termine.! to persevere until thc whole work is complete. Theso ladies arc indeed a baud of earnest workers. The Presbyterian Church at Central is regularly supplied with preach lug twice a mont h. The congregations aro good ami manifest much interest in (he work of thc church. Wc will have lo omit tho incidents of the last half ol' thc circuit. Suffice il to say thal wc reached home nt thc time mentioned, hoping to make many more visits to Central and wishing the good people of thal place and all along our route peace and prosperity.

K." iu Philadelphia Timos.] WAPHINOTON, April 22.-Tho Supremo Ciuvt of tho United States-that groat har binger, ehcot-aiiohor, safety-valve, oto., of our libortio6-has during the week eat with a full bench for tho first timo io th reo yours. I droppod in on tho oourt a day or two ago. What a jolly old set! Thcro was tho ohiof justioo, with iron gray hair, thick and stiff, and wliiikors jost tho samo, a big nose and a big mouth, wrapped in his black silk gown, hot looking very liken Chief Justice. Bat he attends to his business, leaves politic* to tho dug* nnd is respected by his associates. On his right, oldest in commission of any ono on the bench, is Justino Miller, round aud fat und sixty-four, a little bald and closely shaven face. On the bench ho is as cross ns a hitohot, for ho hatos ci rca m locu tion and shams, and half tho bar is mado of them, but off tho bench bo is ns jolly and kind und gentle ns any man you over saw. Ho has been regarded for years ns the ablest man on the bench. The three last appoint ments on tho bench may chango this, but I doubt it. On tho Chief Justice's left is Justice Fio'd, appointed as a Republican, but now a pesky old Democrat. Ho is tall, bald-headed, spectacled, full boarded, with a Jewish casi of countenance. Smart he is, too, as all tho Fields aro. Ho writes strong opinions and is popular. Ho is a most entertaining com pani m and n great traveler and scholar. Drink? yes, once ir, a while Miller and Field respectively arc tho two oldest Judges in commission on the bench. Justico Bradley is next in point of rank-a thin, relined, closely shaven, gray haired, scholarly, judi cially looking <dd gentleman, who doosu't neem to have much to say to anvono. Jus lieo Harlan, fe ii rt li in rank, excepting, of course, thc Chief Justice, is a specimen Kentuckyian-a giant in his way. Big body, big head, big bauds, big feet, lone; minn and long headed without u doubt. Ho is nt least six feet six inchon in height lie rents ii furnished house from u friend of mino and my friend had to have mudo. Ospooially io r ibo groat Kentuckian, a nine-foot benstead, with m al rosses, blankets, sheets, eic, to cor respond, and also ono for tho son of thc Judge, who is lull. Judge Harlan was a strong acquisition to the hench und is popu lar on thu bench and efl'. Chow tobacco, did you say? Well, I should think so, and he knows a gloss of b.nu b in when he tastes it There is not much known of Justina Wood-. Ho is a grizzly, slouching man, whose per sum?! bearing and appearance aro not nt nil striking. Ho is a judge by opp notaient, hoi doesn't look like one. Justice Stanley Mat thews is built on ti big madel, physically and mentally. Ile is self-poised, dignified and lino looking. As un intellectual foreo bc scarcely has a superior ntl ibo bench. Ile is quiet in his intercourse and does not seoul to caro to extend his acquaintance. Justice Gray is a tall, white haired peppory old bachelor, who snaps op everybody and had rather quanol than win a ouuse. When ho first came on tho bench boro ho was nearly killed with heavy cuting mid drinking, but that time ls over. As tho old Judges aro very tenacious of ibo rights of seniors ho is not likely to bo popular. Justice Blatchford, tho last appointment, looks like your own George ty". Childs and is, therefore, clean genial, affable, well dressed and kindly na lured - else tonks do not count. Chief Justioo Waite lives in a handsnmo house on Rhode Island avenuo; Judge Miller owns n (inc house on Massuohusetb avenue; Judge Field basa largo well buil house on Capitil Hill -a present from hi brother Cyrus-u portion uf what was once known as ibo old Capitol prison.

Without such knowledge, all efforts to apply a rofnedy aro but leaps in tho dark, j ist ns liable to work injury as good, Thc discovery by an eminent Kreuch physician of tho parasite, j or baccilli, from which eruptive^ fevors aro germi nated) led tho way for tho dis covery of remedies which have well nigh robbed all such diseases of their terrors, and which make science master of tho situation. Tho investigation of Professor Koch, the great German physician, into the origin and development of tubercular diseases, ns detailed by such an authoitrity as Professor Tindall and treated seriously by tho British Mcidical News, but louds tho way ina mighty revo lution by which that most waist ing and fatal of diseases may yet be made to yield as readily to the physician's skill as lo the most or dinary fevers. It has been de monstrated, by tests on animals and tho regular operation in the dissecting room that consumption, pneumonia, phthisis, and similar diseases are caused by tho pres ence of a poisonous parasito,which continues its depredations upon ihe (ung until it results in tho death of its victim. The further fact has been demonstrated that in many ways those diseases are commu nicable, tho most remarkable case being ono in which the diseaso was introduced through tho aqueous -natter of tho eye. ?Now for the remedy. It surely cannot be that thc medical skill of tho world hav ing a positive? knowledge of tho cnusc'of thc discasc,will fail to find a means of killing (he parasite, ol by some sort o? inoculation, great ly lessen the danger (rom tho rav ines of consumption. The fact (li 1 nearly one-third ol the adult deaths of the wor'd are due solely to lung diseases, makes tho now field ol inquiry ono of great impor tance.
