Harmony Presbyterian. This bodylmet, pursuant to adjournment, i o Sumter, 8 0 , on tbe 14th instant. At its meeting in Manning last mouth, cer tain romors were reported to it iojuriuns to tbe character of Rev. J. E. Donlop, aad although oothiog was brought forward that could prove them, yet Presbytery appointed a commission to visit tbe place where they originated, lakh* testimony, and report back to it. Judge T. B. Fr?ser, chairman of tbe commission, witb Rev. N. W. Edmonds, D. D4 Rev. W. J. McKay, D D , and Rev. W. W. Mills, members of it, visited Indiantowo, and spent four days io patiently takiog sworn testimnny of a number of persons, white and colored. At tbe late tutetiog in Sumter, Presbytery received tbe report of this commission, aod beard all of tbe testimony re. -nd then by a vote of 27 to 3 sdoptsd a paper cootainiog a preamble ana 5 resolutions, tbe two last of which are as follows I "Resolved 4th. Tbst tbe conOderce which Presnyiery has, aod has always had, in the integrity and piety of this brother, would in itself, and especially iu the face of bis solemn oath ot iooocency, lead them to believeibat a satisfactory explanation did exist even though it could oot te given ; but io addi? tion to this, tbey feel convinced that 'be ex plaoatioos tbat have been given by bim, are conclusive, oot only in removing all pre? sumption of guilt, but also io producing the ?troogest coavictioo of ionoceoey. "Resolved 5th That io visw of tbe con? victions thos arrived at, Presbytsry sees oo cause to pursue tbe investigation farther, but rather to congratulate our brother in bis ability to thou vindicate bimse'f, sod to com? mend bim to the renewed confidence aod fel? lowship of all, whose faltb in bim, may bave beeo affected for the time by these rumors." Thus has this noble and faithful servant of Qod beeo exonerated by an overwhelming majority, every one of his ministerial breth? ren, and most ot tbe ruling elders present voting for the resolutions, while only three elders voted against them Presbytery by its vote, even congratulated him, on bis vin? dication.
