During the latter half of the month the quantity of rain was 1.269 inches. “Resolved , That Beneficiaries in Mer cer University under the patronage of the Georgia Baptist Convention, shall be fur nished by the Executive Committee with hoard, washing, lodging, tuition, candles and the use of Class books by the Li brarian; but their friends, or the church from which they come, will be expected to furnish their clothing.” ♦ The above is a resolution ol the Execu tive Committee of the Georgia Baptist Convention in session Dec. 1843. The Temperance Address is published in this week’s paper, with a t hope that it will be generally read. It is customary with newspaper readers to throw aside long ar ticles for a more convenient time, and con sequently they are never read. Let the length of this deter no one, for it will amp ly repay a close petusal, or even a careful review. Attention is particularly called to the views taken of the effects of Iniemper ance’upon government. The calculations are correctly based, and the argument is conclusive, that this one vice, if permitted to progress in the same ratio, will under mine the liberties of the country. Other Republics have fallen victims to viceoulv. ‘ We have passed gins and snares that have ! trapped some—the deepest gulph is yet yawning belore us—it must be filled, either ; with the Temperance pledge, or our free in-! slitmions and the liberties of the people.— Who will hesitate to decide which it shall be? ‘The Creek nation has decreed that all the white gamblers shall he expelled the country. A noble stand lor savages to lake. Nothing is butter calculated to show olf this class of our people in their fiend ish characiet than the detestation in which even the Indians hold them. While it shows that tribe becoming erect as freemen, not only knowing their rights, but daring to assert them, it reflects honor upon the State of Georgia lor her indefatigable exer tions to remove them from where they could never have such rights, to their own home, where the white dare not intrude Upon the laws of their tlmv We have before us the Baptist Record, Extra. J. M. Peck, G. IL Ide and J. L. Burrows are to be Editors of a paper to be issued monthly by the Am. B. I’. & S. S. S. and devoted “to the religious interests of the whole country,” ’['lie organization and .movements of various sects will be noticed. Special topics: 1. The objects, plan ol operations, and measures of the Baptist Publication Society. 2. Home Missions throughout North America. 3. Ministerial Education and Training. 4. Miscellaneous Department. The objects settle the imporlanccof such a publication. The price allows a large circulation; and as the profits, if any, are lo be appropriated to benevolent purposes, the friends of such institutions should take hold of the work warmly. It is high time that the Protestant world had set up against all holy days except the Sabbailt. That is the Lord’s day, and should they succeed in observing it strictly, it is ali the requisition made upon them in the Bible. The common manner of obser ving other days that the people are taught to regard as equally holy, destroys all rever ential obligation for the Sabbath injunctions. What day could appear more sacred than the birth day of the Saviour? Yet, was it settled that Ghrislmas was that day, and did the Bible enjoin its observance, ils usual festivities would be but extreme blasphe my. Whether it he the natal day of Christ or not, if it be set apart as such, and we profess so to observe it, are not its desecra tions equally blasphemous? Under either view, Christians are at fault. They should either keep the day holy, or decline ils ob servance altogether. If the latter, they should labor to impress the world with the belief that it is not a holy day, and that its customary festivities give no license to the same liberties on the Sabbath. Easier, Whil-Sunday, &.c. are out of ob servance; our 4th July celebrations are at tended in a way more congenial with the spirit of patriotism, while Christmas is continued as the given time for Satan to range up and down the land unfettered.— Every species of abomination and wicked ness is let loose upon the body politic Ibi this “once a year”—the floodgates of vice are thrown open, and the religious world stands hack a quiet observer, or aids to swell the torrent as it sweeps over the land scattering the seeds of wickedness that time can not outrun, till anew crop is sown in the same holy way. The consequence is, that the Christian world is ail the lime clcar ing away the foul growth sown by its own permission, or even aid; and they may clear and clear through all time, and as long as they sow the same seed they will never more than begin to build up the Kingdom of Christ. It is a matter of peculiar pleasure, that in this place we have no cause of com plaint. We have no grogshops here, and consequently no drunkards or gamblers.— Our stieets have been all peace and quiet ness—the diversions and pastime have been such as might be natmal to the winding up of a year’s business, &c. But whilst this has been our good fortune, what a tale might not he told of other places? Then our honest conviction is, that if we can not do away with the hilarity and glee incident to the closing of the year, general release from business, &c. it is our botinden duty to have it pass off as such, and not as a part and parcel of out religious observance. Let the Pope set apart St. Patrick’s day, and as many other holy days as will cover the year, and then calender the balance of the Saints in an -All Saint’s Day, but let the Christian—“llsnieinber the Sabbath, to keep it holy,” “Rev. Sir.—Official ami other engage ments h ive prevented me from returning j an earlier answer to your letter, soliciting me to contribute to the erection of an Epis : copal church at North Castle. | “ Born and educated in the Protestant Episcopal Church, I am attached to it not merely from early association, hut from a , conviction of the purity of its doctrines, and the innocency and utility of its forms. Alter innoli reflection and acquaintance not veiy limited, with oilier religious denomi nations, 1 have come to the conclusion that our chinch as exhibited in the Prayer-Hook und homilies, is the purest Church in Christendom ; and I I'reaely acknowledge j that it is both my duly and privilege to aid I in the extension of such a Church. *• But as it often happens that the admin • i islrutiou of civil government is adverse to die great constitutional principles, on which the government is founded ; so ecclesiasti cal history affords not (infrequent instances ol pastors anil members of churches deny ing, evading, and disregarding doctrines in which they have professed their unbelief. The present state of our church is a mel ancholy illustration of this remark. We are by name a Protestant Church, yet with a powerful party among us die word Prot estant has become a proverb and reproach. V cry few ol our bishops in the official ad dition to their signatures will condescend to avow themselves, bishops of‘the Protest ant Church,’ and you will recollect that Bishop B. T. Omlerdonk did not shrink • min recommending to the convention to strike out the words ‘Protestant Episcopal,’ front the style of our Church. “ When I witness the unceasing and voi lent struggle to add strange doctrines to our faith, and foolish mummeries to our wor -1 counot avoid apprehending its ultimate success, and I run compelled to ask nivself, how far I can lawfully aid in the extension of a Church, which I am constrained to admit is daily becoming more and mote corrupt. Hence 1 have for some.lime past refrained from giving money for any church purposes, except under such circumstan ces as warranted the belief that it would lend to advance the genuine doctrines of our Church. “ I am not forgetful of our blindness to the future, and admit that it is no excuse lor j not doing good, lest possible stone evil con sequences may hereafter arise from our charity. But I look at the Church as she now is. I read the ineeoncilable sonli- j incuts of our clergy, 1 note the hostile lone! of our opposing journals, and I hear of, j and sometimes witness innovations in our service, springing from piinctipies which j must lead to other and greater ones. On j die whole, I am irresistalily brought to the conclusion that our Church has reached a crisis, that it cannot remain as it is, that it is in a transition state, and must be purified, or corrupted, or divided. No one acquaint- i oil with the present slate of things can ven- I ture lo deny that within one or two years, ! some reviler of die Reformation, some an atliematizer of Protestantism, some glori fier of tradition as the rule of faith, may proclaim from die pulpit at North Castle, dogmas, for opposing which my own an- ! eestors were driven from their native land, 1 bv Popish persecution. The condition of our Church compels me lo decline for the present , (hut with the most hitter and mor tifying regrets,) a compliance with your request. “ Be assured you will do me great injus tice if you suppose that any tiling 1 have written, has the most distant reference to yourself personally. Os you, 1 have nev er heard or seen ought inconsistent with the obligations of a “Protestant Episcopalian,” or of a faithful minister of Jesus Christ.— I owed to myself to explain die reasons of my conduct, and whatever you may think of their insiiflieientoy, I beg you to believe that they are in no degree incompatible with the respect and confidence with which I am, reverend sir, your very obedient ser vant. Wm. Jay.” The above seems to have been prompted by the signs of the times before Puseyism declared itself fairly. It was a bold stand against encroachments upon the tenets of the church, and in a practical way. It has been contended by many that Episcopacy was but a step in advance of Popery.— Puseyism puts it upon the same ground, and is but the legitimate result of a legal religion. The law can but regulate forms and ceremonies—it cannot judge of the slate of the heart, or the influences of the Spirit, consequently, when its forms are adhered to, ils religion is perfect. You might constitute the revivalists, into a church who go alone upon impulsive heartfelt reli gion, and lettlicm be regulated in their move ments bylaw, and in three generatinos all soul-felt emotion would be banished their worship for the prosy observance of statutes. We clip the following from an exchange paper as the substance of Puseyism: About ten years ago, some half a dozen clergymen of the Church of England, Dr. j Pusev among the number, conferred, to gether, and agreeing that high church prin ! ciples bad lailen into practical neglect of late years, they commenced issuing at reg ular intervals, the celebrated “ Tracts for the Piines,” which reached the 90th num bei, when the Bishop of Oxford arrested their publication. The ttacls advocated most ol the essential doctrines of the Ro man Catholic Church : 1. Apostolic succession in both Protest ant and Catholic Churches. 2. The regeneration of children by bap tism. 3. There is no salvation fur those out of the pale of the Church. 4. The authority of the Church is high er than the state, and that the sovereign and the senate are bound to submit to the dic tum of the Church. 5. I’lie writings of the Fathers are pre ferred to the writings of the inspired Evan gelists, and the leiteis fotlie Apostles. 0- Thai the Scriptures ought not to be read by the laity, unless accompanied by an exposition ol their meaning to he found in the books ol Common Prayer. 7. Pile atonement, requiring the religion of the heart, is virtually rejected. 8. I'liat religion mainly consists in the observance ol forms anil ceremonies. 9. That llie bread and wine in the sacra ment are converted by the clergy, into the actual flesh and blood of Christ, and that sacrament constitutes a kind of enntinun lion of the atonement of Christ on the cross. The same principles from a Catholic are grossly absurd; but from a branch of the Protestant Episcopal Church, they find their way easily to the hearts of the people. Will men never learn to lake things on their own merils, and to not be gulled bv popu lar names? A Suspicious Circumstance. When we hear one speaking evil of another, we always suspect him of having done an injury to the one whose merits lie labors to depreciate, and nine times out of ten the snspeeion will be found to be any thing but groundless ; and yet—how strange it is !—men are ever ready to believe an evil repoit ol those who occupy prominent, stations in society. The more eminent a man is, the more liable is lie to be assailed by tiie slanderer—of the really vile or in significant they have but little to say. If therefore you see one active in bis endeav ors to infuse into the minds of others, an ill opinion of his neighbor, you may be sure that neighbor, if he has some faults, has merits enough to counterbalance them.— 4'hm: remarks will .ijip!? o uiings aswLlr as to persons. Worthy of Imitation. We see from the minutes of the General Association of United Baptists of Missouri, that a donation of 810,000 has been gener ously offered by Dr. Jewell, towards the establishment of a College and Theological Seminary, to be under the direction of the Baptist Denomination in Missouri. Also that Jeremiah 11. Neal, of Montgomery county, Missouri, did, by bis last will and testament, bequeath the sum of SI,OOO for promoting the cause of missions, to be paid over to, and appropriated under the direction of this Association. The Associ ation has taken active anil prompt measures for carrying the generous designs of the donors into effect. A few more such liberal examples and a more general imitation of the same, would soon not only increase intelligence and a general diffusion of knowledge in the De nomination, hut be productive ol beneficial results, the amount of which the annals ol eternity only could reveal. J. Extract. “I do not think my trip to Louisville, Ky. worth publishing; yet there is one thing 1 would like the biethren in Georgia to know:—l saw brother Henry Jhtarns , the colored preacher, who went from this State; he is the Pastor of the African Church in Louisville, consisting of about 700 members. The brethren speak high ly of his talents and of his inoral and reli gious deportment. Me appears very hum ble and unassuming, and is one of the few who feeds his flock every Sabbath. Would to God every Pastor could do so too—l am tired of this monthly preaching. Adieu. Yours in Christian love, HUMPHREY POSEY. Associational Record.

They travelled during the year 5,005 miles, pleached 380 sermons, gave 250 exhorta tions and addresses, report 691 conversions, and baptized 93 persons. In Eastern, Western, and Middle Tennessee, there are Associations, auxiliary to this.

The Western District had not been heard from. The missionaiies of the Mid dle District report that they have attended 21 protracted meetings and 13 baptist camp meetings, constituted 1 church, ordained 1 minister and 4 deacons. The report of the Executive Board mentions as one of the impediments which have more than any others embarrassed them, “A want of gen eral intelligence among the people, as to our practice, doctrines and designs. Our brethren must read more, and make more exertion in the cause of education.” The Tennessee Bap. Foreign Miss. So ciety—Education Society—Publication So ciety—and Bible Society each held meet ings at the same time and place. The next meeting of the Geneial Association was appointed lo be held with the church at Rotindlick, Wilson county, near Leba non, to commence on Saturday before the fourth Lord’s day in October 1844.

On Thursday last part of the stupen dous clill called Slybarrow Crag, which overlooks Ullswater, was by some unknown convulsion, shivered oil, and some massive blocks rolled over the public road, leading fiom Penrith to Patterdale, down the mighty steep on the other side into the lake.

Australia. —We perceive by the papers, which have recently ai rived Irom Sidney, that a discovery lias been made which has more than doubled the price of sleep in Australia. It has been asceitabled, that, by boiling down the entile carcasses of the sheep, the skins and hams excepted, there may he extracted, on an average, from 25 to 301bs. ot tallow from each. The price of mutton had, up to the period ol this discovery, been Irom Id. to I.!d, per lb. and it is calculated that the tallow will, at a moderate estimate, be worth 3.1d. per pound. Great preparations were making for the manufacture of this new article ol hade, tiom which the colonists were antic ipating a golden harvest. dhe 1 obucco d'rude. —The great seiz ures lately made in Loudon, in which the name ol a first-rate house in that city is mixed up with others, has drawn much at tention to the above trade. It is quite evi dent dial the services ol the government officers to prevent smuggling at the pres ent high rates ol duty are worth less than nothing. Not a seizure is made by their vigilance: every one is made on informa tions eininatiiig from persons not taking government money. The reason for this is clear. The smuggler can well afford to an unscrupulous officer a bribe, of almost any amount, so long as the present high duty of 3s 2d. is maintained. Effects of Fright. —Oil Wednesday week, a girl named Margaret Pete, in order to amuse some companions, dressed her sell in a white garment, and put on a hide ous black mask, in which disguise, issuing suddenly from her residence, in Palmcr’s loliy, Hatclifl'-highway, London, she caus ed so much terror to a child that it died on the following Friday morning. The girl was taken into custody and detained till al ter the coroner’s inquest, when she was reprimanded and discharged. A short time since, at Croydon, a fellow with a long black heard and hair, attired as a sailor, asked charity from a servant girl. 19.,e re fused, on which lie threatened to stab her with u dagger. She was so terrified that for some days alter her life was in danger. The fellow was taken into custody and com mitied to gaol for three months.

It will give some idea of the loss sustain ed by the holders of the shares in the Uni ted Stales Bank when we state, that 100 shares, which sold, on Saturday, in Lon don, lor £’9oo, originally cost the holder £22,000.
