An Appeal ir?m the Vestry of Chrlat
Chnrch.
To all Members of the Protestant Episco?
pal Church in tho United States of Ame?
rica :
The undersigned, Vestry mou aud
Wardens of Christ Chnrch, Charleston,
8. C., respectfully make this appeal to
their brethren :
The termination of the recent unhappy
eivil contest found onr church without
fonds and dosed. The disturbing ele?
ments of war and the excitement follow?
ing in the wake of such a struggle as
that whioh barst npon our oountry so
suddenly, like the "fury of a whirlwind,"
scattered oar congregation/and we found
them, at our reorganization, after the
lapse of more than ten years, as "..beep
having no shepherd." Our church, up
to I860, and even later than that period,
was in a flourishing condition. Oar
congregation wr's large and increasing,
and the comfortable ' Gospe) of Christ,
through the ministrations of but beloved
and devoted rector, l?e v. J. Mercier
Green, whom we have recalled to Lis old
charge, was steadily winning souls to tbe
service and obedience of Him who is the
only true protentate-"King of Kings
end Lord of Lords." Our Sunday
School was well and regularly attended,
and we feel convinced that the seed eown
in this direction has not fallen upon
"stony ground." We oan now point
with pride to some of our former
BoVolars, who, ia a quiet and unostenta?
tious way, shine us lights in a dark
world, seen and felt of men. Their con?
sistent Christian lives are examples of the
good wrought through this powerful me
f iain.
We desire, therefore, of all those who
have the interest of true religion at heart
to co-operate with us in this labor of
love, and enable us io plaoe thiu church
upon a strong financial basis. Our
wants are great, our means limited. On
every hand, we behold the material for
effective work. The field is a wide and
inviting one, and we believe that with
the proper effort on our part and aid
from our friends, many now famishing
for the bread of life can be fed, many
thirsty souls filled. This effort we
pledge ourselves to make. We now ask
I of our friends to contribute tb~ir aid.
? Will they refuse it? "He that remem
j bereth the poor and needy, the Lord
will deliver him in the time of trouble;"
and again, "To do good and to distri?
bute forget not, for with such sacrifices
God is well pleased."
We again urge upon all Christians
throughout the length and breadth of
thia vast country, not to treat lightly nor
listlessly this appeal; to cast aside sec?
tional prejudice, if any they have. For
are we not a common brotherhood, and
is not this a common cause in which we
j fight? And perchance, even in some
? distant spot. Home earnest and pious
! follower of the Gospel reading this ap
1 peal-the oat-gushing of honest hearts
-and inspired by that sonso of duty
whioh animates us, may have his sympa?
thies moved to "come up to the help of
the Lord, to the help of the Lord
against the mighty."

Tn*: COUMLXOE ov NEW ORDEALS.
The New Orleans Pi -ayune publishes a
review of the commerce of the Crescent
City for 1871-72. From statistics.pre
seuted, it appears that within tho past
live years tbs imports of New Orleaus
have almost doubled. The total amount
of produce from tho interior show? tx de?
ficit of about $30,000,000. enmpnred
with receipts under that head in 1860 70.
This is a. counted for fro.u tho fuct that
the figures which exhibit this difference
represent value as measured by a fluctu?
ating paper curreucy. Considering that
this currency was nearly twice ns much
depreciated in 1809-70 as it was in
1870-71, and that curreucy prices were
correspondingly higher in the former
period, it may be fairly claimed that
there is no material falling od' iu the
total amount of domestic produce re?
ceived iu the city. In short, the city is
steadily enlarging her import business,
and at loast holds her own in exports and
domestic receipts.
SINGULAR ACCID;NT.-The CrLiield
(Md.) Leader says:
"Cordelia King, a colored girl, uged
eleven years, and living at Hopewell
Station, about three and a half miles
from Cristi- kl, met with a sadden aud
somewhat singular death on Tuesday.
Her mother hud gone to visit a neighbor,
and Cordelia, accompanied by a little
brothor, wont to tho pig-pen for the
purpose of feeding the pig. She had
several needles aud pins sticking in her
dress-front. While in tho act of loan?
ing over the pen her foot slipped and
abe fell, her breast on the feuee rail,
causing one of the needles to bo forced
into her breast. Her brother started for
his mother, followed by his injured
sister, but tho poor girl hud gone
scarcely 100 yards before she fell in the
road and diod."
ACCIDENT.-We learn tbat on yester?
day, while Mr. J. B. Stewart, living iu
Sharon neighborhood, about six miles
from Charlotte was engaged ia packing
cotton, and while driving up some
wedges in tho top portion of the ecrew,
while the screw was in operation, was
caght between the beam to which tho
lever is attached and uuother cross beam

THU ALABAMA LYNCHING.-"We.give
below the facts aa we gather them of the
hanging of Tom Clark und the two bur?
glars iu oar to wo last night:
Tuesday evening, a gentleman of
Athens came to this placo und brought
iaformatioa that, OD the night previous,
nine houses had beoa burglariously ca?
tered ia the towu of Athen?, nod muob
valuable property stolen therefrom. He
said that the parties) supposed to have
committed the burglary were comiag to?
wards the placo, aad advised the citizeos
to be ou the alert. But no one thought
anything of it, and all retired os usual,
little suspecting burglar? rn our quio*
town. Daring the night, tho houses of
Judge Allington, James Hancock and B.
T. Simpson were entered ; gold watches
stolen from the latter two. About half
post 2 o'clock that night, two men were
seen on the streets driving a sorrel mare
to a baggy. Suspicion wus at onoe fixed
upon these as the guilty parties, and at
sun-rise yesterday morning, four men
went in pursuit. It was ascertained that
they had goae ia the directioa of Wu
terloor
The capture of the robbers was effect?
ed by Messrs. Wm. E. Blair, (oity mar?
shal.) Wm. Barks, Wm. Joinor aad W.
B. Warson. The robbers had stopped
for dinner, and were about unhitching
(they were traveling ir a fine top bugg.,
drawn by a sorrel mare) their horse near
the residence of Squire Pettypool, a few
miles below Gravelly Springs. They
offered little resistance, bat expressed
much surprise as Mr. Blair and others
rode up. A search o? their persona dis?
covered uothiug, but on examining the
boggy the pin of a breastpin was ob?
served sticking through the lining of the
buggy top. The party immediately went
"ap stairs," aad found there eight
watches and hands-full of breastpins,
&c. On opening a drummer's sutjhol,
which was in the buggy, files, saws t.nd
other burglarious instruments were
found, amongst which was a murderous
slung-shot. At this purr of the gam
the countenances of the robber, fell.
They seemed to give un all thought of !
escape, and to make up their minds to
suffer the penalty of the law. '?heir j
arms having been taken, they were placed j
in the baggy, und, with their captors be?
fore and behind, turned toward Florence.
The jail being insecure, Sheriff Hud?
son had summoned eight men, in ad?
dition to the jailor, to guard the prison?
ers. About midnight, a great crowd
came to the jail and demanded the keys.
The guard refused to give them up and
fired on the mob. It ii raid t! ut the j
fire was returned. At uny r 'te, the jail ,
d ors were broken open and tho girud
disarmed. The cells wherein Tom Clark
and the robbers were confined were ..Iso
broken into and tbe three men taken out
and carried immediately to un adjoining
square and hanged by the neck until they
were dead. lu tbe morning tba citizen.i
found them there. One was Identified
as Tom Clark; one was a short, stalwart
man, with the initials F. ll. and u star,
in Indian ink, on his right arm, and two
hearts pierced by an ari ow on his left
hand; and one is oupposed to be
Gibson. The younger robber marched
up boldly to tbe tree und requested the
executioners to bold bim up and drop
him, instead of drawing bim up. Tho
prayers of Clark were agonizing and
were beard by tho citizens living near.
Clark is said to have killed sixteeu men
during his time.-Lauderdale Times, otk.
