Lutheran Synod of South Carolina and adjam

Th. Sy'od embrace* congregations in South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.?
Oxv ng to the large extent of territory in which
v the ministers and members are situated, the
attendance was not large, there being only
nineteen ministers and seventeen lay delegates
present. The churches generally were reported
as being in a prosperous condition. Two

6ve licentiates admitted to ordination, and two
students from the. Theological Seminary at

Resolutions were passed giving permission
for the tbrinalion of two new Synods, one in
Mississippi and the other in Georgia, provided
the congregations in said States may so determine.
; ^ Resolutions were also passed instructing the
Hon ! of Diiectors of the Theological Semina

for the removal of the Seminary to some more
eligible locality in South Caiolina, and also to
apply' to the Legislature of that State to change
the act of incorporation to that of a regular
College, with the privilege of conferring degrees.
It was determined to establish a depository
in Savannah, for the sale of Southern publiea
tions. at the bookstore of Messrs. John M.

A liberal appropriation was made for missions
within the founds of the Synod.
The next annual meeting of the Synod is to

Wocld Rath nil be in* Slavery.?In the
PoJice'Court yesterday a colored man named
John Stewart wa< arraigned oil a charge of
^stealiivg a qoantitv of clothing from an elderly
_? colored woman. Stewart plead guilty, and of
feted in mitigation that he wus out of funds
and food, and had taken this course to provide
himself with the necessaries of life. He stated to
the Court that a short time since he was a slave
in Raleigh, North Carolina and upon being informed
of the kind treatment he would receive
from the Abolitionists in the North if he
could become a free man.be concluded to pur
chase himself, and did so at a cost of $900.
He b'ft his master and came to Ohio. "Since
I came here," continued Stewart, ;'I have been
kicked about and abused by all classes ot
white men. Can't get work from no one, and

i I did a great deal better there than I ever did
here."' Here the detention* took his seat to
await the sentence of the Court, whieh was to'
be sent to the chain gang at hard labor for one
month; he did nt t mind the labor, and was
thankful for the prospect of getting something
to eat in jail. He declared that as soon as hg
got out he would go South and become a slave
again.?Cincinnati Times.
Washington, Nov. 17.?I have already stated
that in spite of the increased expenses of
the increased usefulness of the Post-Office Department,
6uch is the rigid economy with
which it is being managed that with the increased
revetiue from postage it is expected
that in about four years from now, provided
the same economical administration of the department
be continued, the revenue will cover
the expenditure. Since the 4th of March,
1852, but one single defalcation has occurred,
(in the case of the postmaster at Troy, but the
sub-treasurv act being promptly applied, the
whole amount wait recovered, and no loss there.
fore sustained by the department. Considering
that there are about 23,000 post-Offices in
the United States, the lact is certainly highly
creditable, both to the administration of the
Post Office Department and to the discrimination
used in the appointment of postmasters.

A letter received this morning from the United
States Consul at Algiers, to Mr. Mason,
furnishes the first fruits of the recent official

The second Monday in January next nas
been recommended bv the Presbyterian General
Assembly a* a day of fasting and prayer, not
only for the conversion of the world, but with
special reternce to the alarming providences, divine-Judgments,
and numerous prevaleut evils
with which the Church is, and has of late been
afflicted.
The whole number of churches connected with
the Congregational, and the O. S. and N. S.
Presbyterian denominations, in the United States
is 5,84)6; of these 1,149 do not exceed 25 members;
1,287 do not exceed 50; 1,527 do not exceed
100; 846 do notexceed 150; 458 do not exceed
200; 356 have 300; 159 have 400; and the number
of churches whose members exceed 400 is but
98. These facts show why so many churches are
unable to support ministers.
Confirmation.?On Sunday last the Rt. Rev
Dr.Davis; Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina,
on a visit to this city, administered the
holy rile of confirmation in three of the Episcopal
Churches, viz: in the forenoon in St.

candidates; in the afternoon at St. Michel's, to
nineteen white and one colored; and in the evening
at Calvary Church, to one white and five

Military Elections.
On Saturday the 25th inst., Adjutant Thomas J.
Warren was elected Major of the Lower Battalion 22d
Regiment S. C. Militia, in the place of Lt. Col. Kershaw,
resigned.
On the same day, W. E. Hughson was elected First,
and II. II. Evans Third Lieutenants in the DeKalb Rifle
Guards.
R. G. Ellerbe was elected Second, and Wm. C. Clybnm
Third Lieutenants in Beat Company No. 2.
Jas. Holland was elected First, and Tlios. Davis
Third Lieutenants in Beat Company No. 3. All be.

Appointment for Camden.
It will be seen by reference to the list of appointments
in another Column that the Rev. James Stacy
has been appointed to the pastoral charge of the Methodist
E. Church of this place. Mr. Stacy was stationed
here in the year 1836, and will, we are snre, prove
hitrhlv satisfactory to the concrecration. which he is to

Death of a Worthy Citizen.
Since our last we have followed to his final resting
place our esteemed and worthy fellow citizen, Mr. Lewis
W. Ballard, who for many years was our Chief
Marshall, Town Recorder and Treasurer. Mr. Ballard
was an excellent citizen, and in all the relations of life
evinced those qualities whicl^ make the man. As a
public officer, he was firm, faithful, and unflinching in
the discharge of his duties?none more so. As a private
citizen his character was irreproachable; and as
a friend, he was warm and enduring. It remains for
others to speak of his social qualities, and Hie domestic
hearth is very desolate where he was best known and
loved. He possessed much of that charity which was
kind?and the poor of Camden will feel his death most
sensibly.
His funeral took -place on Wednesday afternoon at
the Baptist church, and his remains were followed to
their last resting place by numerous friends and relations,
and the closing ceremonies at the grave were performed
by the Members of "Wateree Division Sons of
Temperance, of which he was a most excellent and ex
eropiary memoer.
South Carolina Legislature.
Our Legislature assembled'at Columbia yesterday at
12 o'clock, the roll was called and the members present
were qualified and took their seats.
The usual duties of organization, &c.. occupied the
day. In our next wc shall be able to give some of
their proceedings.
The Annual Meeting
Of the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance of
South Carolina will take place on Thursday next, in
Columbia. This we hope will be an interesting occasion,
and every Son of Temperance who can, ought to
attend.
The Press Association.
Why does not our President publish a notice of the
meeting of this Association? If we are not mistaken,
Wednesday, the 6th of December, is the day. Are wo

Something New and Interesting.
The South Carolina Railroad Company have determined
to impose an additional tax on their tariff of
rates for passage on their road. It takes a good look

now, and a quarter eagle for a ride On the rails to Co
lurabia, a corresponding charge to all other intermedi.
ate points and on additional item on the tariff of
freights.
They are getting on fast, Postmaster General Campbell
has been knocked into a cocked hat, and there is
no telling what will be done next. Look out for the
Engino when the whistlo blows.
The Methodist Female Colleges.
Alter all the promises of Columbia to give so much
towards the Female College, it appears from the report
of the Building Committee, only about $15,000 are in
hands after paying for the land purchased, which cost,
two acres, $3,300
Camden had over twenty thousand dollars which
could have been made available for the College, and
we could have raised the amount to $25,000. We
wanted a whole College, but aomo folks-think a half
loaf is better than no bread.
Another Newspaper Union. 1
The Anderson Gazette and Southern Rights Advocate
have joined their fortunes together, and hencoforth
these two will appear undor the title of tho Anderson
Clazette and Advocate. We regret to shake
farewell hands with brother Rice. Wo shall miss his
graceful pen, and wo aro^ sure that our regret is not
singular. Wo wish him much succeBsin the prosecution
of his legal profession and earnestly hope that a
brilliant future awaits him. To brothers Earle and
Harrison a warm welcome is again tendered. We believe
the course pursued by these papers in the amalgamation
of the two, is wise, prudent, and will bo
profitable. Success attend all parties.
Gubernatorial Nominations.
As is usually the case, there ore a number of newsnnminntions
for the office of Governor. Wo pro
8urootho Legislature will be able to decide tbia question.
The Hon. Edward Frost lias been' suggested by-a
correspondent of the Cheraw Gazette as eminently
qualified to fill the gubernatorial chair of South Caroli*

Counterfeit Onk Hunered Dollar Bill.
?The Charleston Standard of the20th inst.,says:
A dangerous counterfeit wasjast Saturday sent
to Mr. Shingler to ascertain whether it was
genuine. It purported to be a One Hundred
Dollar Bill on the Bank of Camden, South
Carolina, aud described as follows: Vegnette
bee hive; figure of the Goddess of Liberty ou
'the right; eagle on the left, with a scroll suspended
from its inouth, on which are the words,
"State Sovereignty?National Union;" the figures
100 are oil the upper corner, and the upper
and lowdr left corners; dated 1st June, 1852 ;
signed, W. G. Grant, cashier, and W. C. McWillie,
president. For the information of those unacquainted
with the Bank of Camden, it is proper
to remark that the Bank has never issued any
bills of the denomination of one hundred dollars.
The bill in question is well executed, and calcu;
lated to deceive the unwary. As there may be
more bills afloat of a similar descjiption, tho
public are cautioned to be on their guard.

the word as it is in Him, ever bearing in mind that in.
due season they shall reap if they faint not.
The attention of Conference was occupied considerably
with the subject of the Female Colleges; on Friday.
Andrew Wallace, Esq., was introduced to the Conference
and presented a report from the Building Committee
of the Columbia Female College. The Committee
report that they have procured a lot, of two
acres, for $3,300, in a central, eligible and beautiful
location. Possession will be give.n on the first of January
next. There are two acres adjoining, which may
bo secured. A plan for the edifice was submitted
with the report, 280 feet in front, containing a large
Chapel, recitation rooms, rooms for Chemical, Philosophical
and Astronomical apparatus, and ample accommodations
for two Professora' families, and two

dowment fund, by a citizen of Columbir. not a member
of the Methodist Church. The Committee recommend
to the Conference the appointment of a board of
trustees, that they may apply to 1I10 Legislature at its
approaching session for a Charter. The amount of
ftinds in the hands of the Committee, after paying for
the land purchased, is about $15,000. $30,000, it is
thought, will be needed to erect such buildings as are
desirable. They therefore ask the appointment of an
agent to raise the monoy; and designate, as the roost
suitable person for that work, the Rev. C. Murchison.
The report was adopted and referred to the Committee
on Education.
The Rev. Jas. Sfncy gave information to the Conference
that efforts have been made for the establishment
of a Femalo College in Mariou Village. A constitution
has been adopted upon the joint stock plan. It
is intended to place the institution under the patronage
of the Church. A charter will be asked for at the next
sossion of the Legislature. There has been a subscription
of stock already, to the amount of more than $20.000.
On Monday Jlessrs. Tucker and Bobo, esqrs, were
introduced to the Conference, and gave interesting information
in relation to the progress and prospects of
the Spartanburg Female College. Dr. Smith replied,
and the discussion qf tho respective claims of the Spartanburg
and Columbia institutions was lively and high,
ly entertaining. Trustees for each institution wero
appointed, composed of the clergy and laity.
A Tract Society was formed, and Dr. Whitefoord
Smith wns elected FiesidenL Bishop Pierce and bis
wife, Bishop Capers and his wife, and Dr.- Summers
and his wife, wero niado life members by the payment
of ton dollars for each of them by members of the Conference
and others.
A resolution to sell the stock owned by the Conference
in the South Carolina Rail Road Company was
offered and discussdd, but lost. The Anniversary Missionary
Meeting of the Conference was held on Saturday
night, and collections made to the amount of sixi?uh
