Of thosa twenty-ln c original members the great-

Xiie first elders were Samuel B. Hunter and
fathew Uobcrtsoa, wlio were ordained on the
4th day of Octobfr, 1827. Judge Hunter is
ell known and highly esteemed in this com
•unity. For many years he has been an elder
ill ; esda Church, in Monroe county, about
. i .;r. miles from this city. Map Robertson was
• of the most valuable men the Presbyterian
' Uurch ever had in Georgia. His lather was a
. u; i r of the Baptist Church; he had, there-
tc, no early Presbyterian training or predi-
. . ..s. Eocoming interested in the subject of
r c a i religion, after a careful study cf the
• U. r it denominational standards, he embraced
i- iVg-bytcrian system, and united with the
< Korea in Macon in the April before his ordi-
i -'•‘ion :o the Eldership. To his active and in-

He united with th,.- Psdiyl-riiB I'lumeh
in the Mate of Tennessee, in die year He
came to Macon from Harien. He was a man of
strong mind, of much intelligence, of clear and
decided convictions of religious truth, of activ
benevolence, and of unostentatious but impres-
site piety. He was calletl to his reward on the
22d of Nov. 1853, ageil 65 years. His surviving
family remains in tho congregation.
Ten years after the organization of the Church,
a larger and more attractive house of worship
was rendered desirable, by the increasing con
gregation and the advanced taste of the commu
nity, and the cigigregation resolved to build a
second time. The house we to-day leave, built
at a heavy expense, and at the time much in ad
vance of the other Church edifices of the city
and surrounding country, wasVoinpletcd and
opened for worship in the year 1837. The ad
vantage from the new edifice, however, was out
weighed by the heavy debt it entailed on the
congregation; which was not entirely removed
licfore the changes which had taken place in the
city, had made the propriety of building a third
time in a more eligible spot a subject ofi
sion. The inconvenience and disadvantage
its location, wc have all sensibly experienced
ring the six years past.
In November 1886, Rev. Samuel J. Cassels
was elected pastor. He entered upon his du
ties early in 18?7. His ministry to the cliurcli
continued a little more than three years; du
ring the continuance of which there was an ac
cession of seventy-two white mem'iers—thirty-
two on examination and forty on certificate—
and, as’nearly as ran Ik- ascertained, forty-one
colored members.
Mr. Cassels was a native of Liberty county.
He made a profession of religion in his early
youth, and his attention was soon after direct
ed to the ministry. Without the means f«y ac
quiring a liberal education, lie was assisted by

ly recognised fact on all sides, that there was no
difference in principle between the Black Re
publicans and the “American” party of New-
York, and yet, our cooperative organs in Geor
gia, who go for “ combining all the dements of
opposition,” are fearfully exercised over the Dem
ocratic dissentions in Illinois, and thc “ Squat

From the New York Tribune of the 1-tth instant.
The failure to form a common Opposition ticket
at Syracuse is not easily comprehended by the
great mass of the voters. They cannot perceive
any adequate reason for their disappointment
and thc hazard it involves. That it was an af
fair not princplcs' but of men, they dearly see;
but what men are at thc bottom of the difficiilty,
doth not so plainly appear. And the American
leaders—who have in their ranks quite as many
and as hearty adversaries of “fusion” as the Re
publicans, and would have furnished quite as
many votes against it had one been effected—
__ busily exciting t _
the whole blame on thc Republicans and repre
senting it as the result of ddiberate bad fatli on
the part of the latter. This is unjust, and ren

which controlled the progress and termination

Tlic Cotton Crop in 185S.
The Macon, (Ga.) Telegraph says:—In con
versation last week with a gentleman who has
very recently traveled over nearly the whole cot
ton growing section of the United State, lie ox
pressed thc opinion that if present prospects are
certified, the crop will be beyond all precedent
in quantity.. The idea of a deficit of 400,000
bales in the south-west, resulting from high wa
ter, he considered altogether delusive, and main
tained that he had been in no county of that
section where present anticipations did not
fix thc quantity of cotton grown above what
could be gathered. The com crop everywhere
was more than abundant.
Mississippi, September 11, 1858,
Editor of Telegraph, Macon, Ga.
Dear Sir: I clip the enclosed from Moore's
ural New Yorker, and hope you can disclaim
start Your informant is ingstcgrc-
giously mistaken, and, dear sir, who can tell in
July what will be made ? Jf our crop is under
water, we can tell what we will not make.
These reports do us incredible harm. Last
year wc were to make 51,300,000 bales. T de
clared it must be error—that I could not figure-
up over 3,000,000, yet it might exceed or be un
der by 100,000. I assure you, sir, that in this
comity—I lincls—the largest producing county in
Mississippi, we can gather 2 or 3 times what
we will make. Under no circumstances can we
make such a crop. I do not believe we will
even gather last year’s crop by 25 to 33 per cent
I am positive my crop will fall short onc-fourtM
My Overseer thinks one-third, and my Driver
thinks over two-fifths. I believe if thc true ver,
sion of tiie crop could be now known, that the
planters of the United States would realize 10
to 20 millions * more. I know many planters,
have seen, conversed with, heard from, received
letters, and know of no county, except it may
lie Madison county, where a crop can he real
ized.
I have 375 acres in cultivation, and I will give
per acre for a per acre yield as made last
year. I made, last year, over 1 bale per acre,
this year, 300 hales will be a large figure. In
my immediate vicinity there will he- 500 hales
short, only a very few together—not a large
community. Com is by no means large, I will
make mote—planting more.

The reader is doubtless aware that American
ism in New York State has been for long months
steadily and sedulously wooing that dusk* maid,
Black Republicanism. Matters had programed
very favorably up to a iortnight. since, when
both parties had appointed a State Convention
on the same dny, at Syracuse, in apparent good
hope to complete the alliance and mergw their
fortunes in a common ticket and a common fate.
Each Convention appointed a Committee of Con
ference to agree upon the terms of alliance, or
'fusion,' 1 as they call it, and it seems there was
no kind of difficulty upon the part of American
ism. An eager suitor, lie was too much fasci
nated with liis sooty flame to standlong upon
conditions; but the friends of the bride were a
little more particular. They could not all agree.

Reports of Morality m Charleston.
Our cotcmporarif s of the press, in Charleston,
appear to be sons what annoyed at the appear
ance,’ in the newspapers of other places, of re-
I muse in the sable household, bids thc disconso
late wooer wipe- his eyes, and fear not His
hopes shall be realized. The Tribune says:
“The attempt to combine the two parties repre
sented at Syracuse in a united eflort 'against the
abhorred measures and the corrupt and faithless
men of the Buchanan Democracy, appears to ha-
foiled. IVc regret this result, but are not sur
prised at it. A little more experience seems to
be neccessary to the masses or to the leaders
of the two parties. A combination of them is
inevitable, but flu- time for it has not yet arriv
ed. But though the anticipated co-operation
has thus been prevented so far as thc State tick
et is concerned, we trust in may yet tie found
practicable in the Congressional Districts, es
pecially where the "two parties acting separately
are sure to be beaten by the common foe.”

Crawford Court
Adjourned on Friday morning last. Elijah
Hicks was acquitted of the charge of murder,
and one Griggs convicted of Perjury. Griggs
was indicted for swearing falsely in a slander
suit brought by a female against Dr. Richard
son, and a verdict for quite a large sum ills ob
tained against Dr. R. on the testimony of Griggs.
We understand thc proof of Perjury was clear
and indisputable against Griggs, and if so wc
hope iie will suffer the severe penalty of teh law.
Tlic Supreme Court.
The jiapers publish the proceedings of a re

the proceedings of the Coweta meeting and in
struct their Senator and Representatives to go
for the abolishment of thc Supreme C’eurt.
Conviction for Burglary.
The case of George M. Griffin, of Savannah,
was tried at Madison week before last and re
sulted in his conviction. He was indicted for
an attempt to commit a Burglary, and tfie charge
was made out by proof of Griffin’s having ob
tained an impression of the Lock ofa Jeweler’s
Store in Madison, taking it to Savannah, making
a key to fit, and sending it back to Madison in
a Box by Express to a person whom he suppo
sed was acting as his accomplice. This person,
however, revealed all of Griffin’s plans—wrote
him letters and obtained his answers, and thus
ky letters which he (Griffin) had written, was
enabled to make out thc case.
Judge Cone defended Griffin, -and with great
ability, but all to no purpose.'
We understand thc case goes to Hie Supreme
Court on several legal points—anil among oHi-
ci s, the question of Jurisdiction. Mr. griffin
has been a resident of Savannah for many years,
ami has enjoyed the reputation of being an up
right, honest and virtuous citizen. Wc hope
lie may bo able yet to acquit himself of Hie
charge. 1 [c was sentenced to one year’s impris
onment in Hie Penitentiai-y.

DOUGLAS.
Hon. A. G. Brown, Senator from Mississippi
and one of the ablest and tnicst Southern "Rights
Democrats in the Union, in an address delivered
by him at Iiaziehurst, Miss., on the 11th of this
month, spoke of Judge Douglas as follows:
And now, fellow citizens,having mentioned the
name of Douglas,alIow met odigress so for as to say
my sympathies are not with those who indulge
in wholesale denunciation of him. lie is niorc
honcst, more consistent, more the friend of the
Constitution and tlic rights of the Stateswjinil a
better Democrat than nine-tenths of those in the
free SL-ttes who abuse him. He is a giant in in
tellect, a giant in will, a giant in eloquence, a
giant inieverything tliat makes up the character
istics om great man, anil I hope he may thrash
Abolitim Lincoln out oflus boots.
I neednot say tliat I differed with Douglason
tiie Katpas Lecompton question. Wo met in
debate—we discussed the question, I hope like
Senators—we differed in the end as wc hail dif
fered in the beginning—but we parted as we hail
met, frieikls.
If I could getamanofmy own faith,, I would
gladly take him. But God forbid that I should
discard a great man like Douglas, who differs
with me <m one point, and take a small man like
Lincoln who agrees with me in nothing.
We think so too.

thentic health returns are undoubtedly of more-
service to the reputation and business ofa place
during an epidemic than silence or concealment,
upon which the most unfavorable construction
is always placed. Rumor and gossip will sid>-
ply whatever reports the authorities foil to make,
and lie sure never to foil beloio the truth.
Health of Savannah.
The News of Saturday morning says:
The stonn of Wednesday and Wednesday
night closed the bad spell. of rainy wcath- i
which had prevailed for several days prev
ous, and thc wind having dispersed the clouds,
came out from the north-west on Thursday mor-
ning. The sky was bright, ami Hie atmosphere !
cool and bracing. Yesterday was a clear, dc- j
lightful ilay, with a brisk N. N. W. wind. This I
state of things could not but be' favorable, and
we were gratified to learn yesterday that there
was a most decided improvement in Hie health
of Hie city. Wc made diligent enquiry, but
heard of very few new cases of sickness (of any
kind—none of yellow fever. The physicians
with whom we have conversed assure us tliat
the sickness is not only diminishing, but con
tinues ofa very mild character, and that, if tin-
present favorable weatln-r should continue for a
few days longer, we will have good grounds to
hojio that the wonted general good health of the
city will soon be re-established.
Wc have never had a healthier season than
thc present up to about Hie commencement of
the second week in this month, but the weath
er for some eight or ten days previous to Weil-
nesday last—during the brewing of the equi
noctial stonn which we liave just experienced—
was very unfavorable to health, and during that
time we have hail some fever, and some few
deaths by yellow fever. But the favorable
very healthy—neighborhood unexceptionable—
Churches and good Schools convenient. Ifnot dis
posed of before, it will bo put up at public outcry in
Perry, on the first Tuesday in December next.—
Terms reasonable.

ure cf announcing to our friends abroad that the j
fever has disappeared from Savannah. Of one
thing they may rest assured, the Hoard of
Health and the Press will keep thc public cor
rectly informed in regard to ti>° health of the
city.
It is proper that we should say Uiatno extra
ordinary »Urtu is felt by our citizens. On the
contrary, the opinion Is very general that tiio’
wc have had a lew cases of yellow feyer, we have
not, nor are wc likely to have it as an epidemic,
Thc Republican of Hie same date, says:
During Hie long rainy spell through which we
have just passed, every tiling bore a dull and
gloomy appearance. Business was almost en
tirely suspended, and a general feeling of de
pression seemed to prevail. The clouds have
now passed, ‘and yesterday was an agreeably
cool, bright day.- Tho storms seem to liave car
ried their dismal influences with them, and the
terror-stricken, wiio left in their wake, will no
doubt be glad to return'Wore they travel much
further.
We know qf physicians of large practice, who
liave not seen Hie first case of yellow fever yet.
