TO THE MEMBER .
OF THE STATE CONVENTION
OF THE
BAPTIST DENOMINATION,
OF SOUTH OAROXiXNA.
DEAR BRETHREN: The President of
the Board of Trustees of the Furman
Institution has recently informed me that
the affairs of the English and Classical department
have undergone such a change,
since the annual meeting, as to render an
Extra Session of the Convention indispensably
necessary. From the statement that
he makes in bis communication, I fully
concur with him in his opinion. I have,
therefore, consulted the Board of Agents
of the Convention on the subject, at whose
instance I am authorised to call extra meetings
of the Body. The members of this
Board concur with me in the opinion that
sttch & meeting should be called on the
present occasion.
Thus authorized, I do now appoint 10
o'clock in the morning of Monday, the 6th
day of July next, as the time, and the scite
of the Institution, three tiilesfrom Winnsborough,
as the place at which the members
of the State Convention of the Baptist
Denomination in South Carolina are
requested to assemble in Extra Session oti
the affairs of the Furman Institution. And
as the interests of the Denomination and
the cause of God, imperiously require that
the meeting be held, I do earnestly and
affectionately, entreat every member of
the Body to be present at the time appointed.

THE LARGEST PAPER IN THE WUKLD!!!
The proprietors of this mammoth sheet, the 'Great
Western" among the Newspapers, have the pleasure ;
of spreading before the reading public, a weekly pe-1
riodical, containing a greater amount and variety of
useful and entertaining miscellany, than is to bo
found in any similar publication in the world.
Each numbor of the paper contains as large an amount
of reading matter, as is found in volumes of
ordinary duodecimo, which cos? two dollars, and !
more than is contained in a volume of Irving's Co-1
lumbus, or Bancroft's History of Columbus, which;
cost three dollars a volume?all for six cents a num- j
bcr, or three dollars a year.
Brother Jonathan being a genuine Yankee, and j
that some things can be done as well as others, is '
determined to present his readers a Medley hitherto
unrivalled by any other paper, of Anecdotes, Allcgo- j

News from all nations lumbering at his back."

usefulness, to our fellow men, will be advocatod and j
