To Correspondents.
We hope our beloved brother Milner’s
first communication will not be his last. —
Brother Willis’s communications generally
contain good news, either of the spread of
the Gospel or of the circulation of our pa
per. We too love to cherish the remem
brance of our labors in connection with
brother Willis and other dear brethren in
Western Georgia and Eastern Alabama,*
for the best of it is the Lord was wont to
work with us and through us. We rejoice
to learn that though we failed to attend bro.
I‘olliiU's meeting, the Lord failed not to ap
pear at it in his power and grace and glory.
Wc hope brother Morgan will have more
good news to report from his section ol
country. If it was not wrong for Chris
tians to crow over one another, we would
publish extracts from the letters ol our dear
brethren who have written from Lafayette
Ga. and Lexington Mi. We truly thank
our brother J. Oates for the names of/c/
new subscribers with the mmey enclosed,
the extras w ill be sent as ordered. Our
good brother and agent, A. E. \\ bitten,
knows we are gratclul lot his “favors——one
who renders us such services ought not to
pav postage on his letters. We shall refer
to some tilings in his letter (about subscrip
tions) in our next number.
Brother Y. D. Armstrong our agent at
Benton Ala. will find a ctedit given to J.
w. W, Cook for 63 in the first paper pub
lished after the receipt of the same (paper
for Nov. I.) The credit of $2 50 was
given to J. Jmekhart, a subscriber at Ml.
y.ion, in this Slate. There is no error in
ibis instance, except in omitting to state that
the money was received through our agent-
A receipt was forwarded to the I*. M. as
ho requested. We generally, to save time
wad paper, omit the name of the individu
al through whom payment is made, unless
specially requested to insert it.
Our Subscribers. —We have a lrw that
douot seem lobe ambitious tube either hon
est or beneficent, mid a few more who seem
11 be blind to every thing but to the faults
of the editor anil his paper, but taking our
subscribers in general, we know not that
the world could produce such another list
of honorable, kind-hearted, obliging, sym
pathising patrons The way they do ad
minister to ns the balm of consolation, when
we suffer wrong, makes it almost a pleasure
to receive an injury ; and if at any time we
begin to get behind hand in money matters,
in consequence of their unintentional delin
quencies, we have but to tell them of it,and
they seem to vie with each other for the
honor of being tlio first to fly to our relief.
For some mouths past our expendituies
greatlv exaeeded our receipts. We kept
silent until we found our paper in imminent
danger of being overwhelmed wills debt;
we then barely apprized our subscribers of
the fact, and—look at our receipts—already
are they flying lo our succour: and wc
doubt not, by the first of January, they will
enable us to pay off the debt of the current
rear and a portion of the old debts too. If
wc could refrain from reverencing such kind
and faithful friends and’ brethren, wc would
merit to be hooted as a monster; and if we
-could betray llteis interests, would deserve j
1o be hung. Go on, brethren, To pay our
arrearages for the last quarter and the cm
■renf expenses of the present quarter, about
:SI2OO, must be raised by the first of Janu
ary next. We want to ‘ jubilate ” on new
year’s day ; and we feel very sure you will
help us to a triumph.
The Currency. —To our Southwestern
agents and subscribers wc say, in answer to
sin inquiry on the subject, that while we
prefer gold, or Georgia and S. Carolina bills,
.any bill that will command specie in N. Or
leans, Mobile or Nashville, will be accepta
ble to us. Wc renew ‘our request lo our
subscribers in Georgia, not to send us Mu
xon or Columbus change bills. With lit
tle or no trouble, on their part, these bills
be exchanged for Ute changejiills of the
(Si. Mary's Bank and the Georgia Railroad,
private bills of Macon and Columbus, when
received, have to lie on hand until we have
jin opportunity of sending them back to he
exchanged. As we have lo expend our |
money nearly as fast as it is received, this
trequently subjects us, not only to inconve
nience, but to actual loss. We know this ‘
statement of facts will not be disregarded i
by our friends,
Our fontribntor*.
Our columns, a few weeks since, were
crowded with origmal communications. —

in ink, and write. tmjJotaw.w, I "sciiUfercd

We started last week for the Alabama
I Convention, but on reaching Social Circle,
the present terminal of the Georgia Rail

Vermont Observer —Proposed Discussion.
As the editor of this paper seems desir
ous of discussing the subject of slavery in
our columns, and as he has generally evinc
ed a disposition to deal faitly and honorably
| with those who oppose his views on the
I subject of shivery, we will say to him, if he
: can find any passage of scripture to prove
cither that slavery did not exist in the
church, in the days of the apostles ; or that
it was condemned by Christ or his apos
tles. wc will cheerfully publish them, with
his comments theieon. More, at present,
we are not disposed to promise.
A Suspicion obviated.
As it has been suspected that we have
’ received intelligence, relative to the opera
j tions of the A. B. P. S. from individuals in
1 Philadelphia, in private communications,
and as such a suspicion may do injury to
the individuals suspected, we think proper
to state, that wc have never received a pri
vate communication from any one in Phila
delphia or its vicinity, in reference to the
doings ol the Society or its Board of Malta
grrs—one from Rev. J. M. Peek, the agent,
excepted, which wc itad well nigh forgot
ten.
i A young mall', a graduate of Brown
University, who can produce the most sat

delay, 1). 1,. Root, care of Rev. Win. ’J’.

ly add, that Mr. Root’s recommendations
are Irom distinguished brethicu, who are
well known loathe denomination at large.
I Any services which the editor can render
’ in procuring his services for those who de
sire them will he rendered cheerfully.
The Sabbath Recorder.
The editor ol this highly respectable pa
per lias commented, pretty severely, on
brother Steele’s article on “Sabbath Occu
patiotif.” He also quotes the resolution
[ passed, at the recent session of die Georgia
Association, in favor of a strict observance
of the Lord’s day, and calls on us for light
from the Scriptures itt reference to the reli
gious observance of this day. As it is the
part of an index to point the traveler the
way, we point our brother—if lie will allow
us so to call him—lo the record of the Aels
of the Apostles of our Lord and Saviour.
Sound Doctrine.
The extract from thcletlcrof Dr. Sharp’s
church, which we published in our last
number, and which contains a condemna
tion of slaveiy, appeared originally in the
Baptist Record, a paper that looks to the
South for a considerable portionof its sup
port and that professes to represent the in
terests of the denomination at large. It was i
published, too, under the caption which we
prefix to this article! Do Southern Bap
tists really believe that the doctrine which I
teaches that slavery is sinful is “sound doc
trine?” If so, they ought by all means to
become abolitionists instantcr.
Fanaticism. —Fanaticism sweeps, like a
desolating blast, over otir land. Effectual
security against its destructive influence can
be obtained, only by prostrating one’s self
in the vale of humility and clinging fast to
a throne of grace. Bow, yo people of the
living God, that you perish not with those
who trust in their own strength.

Though restricted in benevolcnue(Torts
for the benefit of out colored people, wc
can still do much and we ought to do what
we can. The plan of oral instruction,
which has been introduced in various parts
of the southern country, appears to us to
promise great usefulness, It is not letters,
but the facts and doctrines of Christianity,
which it is chiefly imporlattuhal men should
be (aught, in order that they may be wise
to salvation ; and this instruction the sys
tem proposes to give to our colored.popula
tion. It lias been in operation in Liberty
county of this State, for several years, with
great success ; and wc arc glad to find that
the subject is attracting increased attention
in various places. A distinguished brother
in Alabama writes, “I propose to go to our
Convention, if the Lord permit, and my
principal object will be to move for some
suitable action in regard lo the oral religions
instruction of our colored people. You
have, no doubt, heard that our experiment
in T is working well. It is indeed an
interesting object. It attracts attention front

j ties. God grant it for his Sotfs sake ; till

\ Efforts have been made with gratifying
success to organize a school of the kind in
’ our own village. From 70 to 100 colored
’ persons, of different ages andjof both sexes,
| meet on every Sabbath afternoon to receive
I instruction from 14 teachers, who engage
j with much pleasure in the work. ll'Jie
i colored people attend to the instructions giv
en with lively interest, and without any of
that drowsiness and dulncss, which they so
often exhibit under preaching. The Child’s
Scripture Question Book, published by the
American Sunday School Union, has been
selected as best adapted from its simplicity
to the present slate of the classes. Their
attention was first directed to the history of
our Saviour's incarnation and life. They
learn to answer these questions with facili
ty. They also learn hymns in their sep
! arate classes which they afterwards both re
: cite and sing in conceit. It has given the
| teachers much aid and encouragement in
: their labor, that the owners of the servants,
or other members of the families to which
they belong, instruct them in the week, so
as to prepare them for the Sabbath days’ ex
ercise.
We earnestly recommend the plan to the
consideration of our readers ; and shall be
glad to receive accounts of the institution
and progress of such schools and to publish
the same in our columns.

I’ll in fill Accident.
Wc are grieved to be compelled to re
cord the occurrence of a most melancholy
accident which happened in this city on
Saturday last, by which a sprightly aid in
telligent lad, aged 12 years, a son of /indge ,
Sturgis, lost his life. The particulars, as |
far as we have been able lo leant tlieii, are j
as follows: It seems that a few o’ the
school hoys had been projecting a iliatn
fight, with toy cannons, which was to lonic
off on the ‘Jib. One of tip boys iinpre. j
paring his cannon, put into it a few buck- j
shot, but they were afterwards all yith
drawn, as was supposed at the time. When
the boys met, the parties were airajvJ a- ■
gainst each other, and the cannons UuA'icd
off. when it proved that a targe Imck-lhot!
was left in one of them, /which structttlic !
unfortunate boy in the neck, alid caqsed
his death in a few moments. A Coronir’s
inquest was held over the body of the! le
ceased youth, and a verdict of “accidej jal
death” rendered, in accordance with u lie
facts. The most heartfelt sympathy t ir
vades our entire community lor the nfilct
cd family, who have thus suddenly and tln
foftilliatejy been deprived of a darling &n.

mens ifey.l. j n t i*“ n £ Plaits that are to be
found of the work the
author has, very wisely given in
teresting sketches of churches and individ
uals with whom Father Mercer became as
sociated, while engaged in the work of the
gospel ministry. Among the individuals,
of whom sonic account is given in the Me
moirs, arc Governor Rabun and Deacon
Thomas Cooper, late of Ealoiitou. We
hare thought that the tribute paid to the lat
ter, if transferred to our columns, might pos
sibly excite others to “Cos and do likewise.”
With this end in view, wc now invite the
attention of out readers to the following tri
bute, paid by one who knew him well, to
AN EXCMPLAKY DKACON.
Whilst connected with the Eatonlon
church, Mr. Mercer was favored with the
co-operation of some brethren of much effi
ciency and rare Christian worth. Amongst
these, stood forth in striking prominence,
the late pious and excellent Thomas Coop
er. lie was baptized by Mr. Mercer in
Powelton, ill 1811, removed to Eatonlon
and connected himself with the baptist
church in that place in 1822, and in 1821
was ordained one of its deacons, brother
Cooper was scarcely less distinguished as a
lay number, than Mr. Mercer was as a min
ister. In him were joined to a native in
tellect remarkably clear, discriminating and
vigorous, the most excellent qualities of
heart; and all was sanctified by fervent and
exalted piety. Three times a'day would
he retire to commune with Cod. For the
last twelve or fifteen years of his fife, this
we and venerable-man was an humble ptt
pil in a bible class. IJ is faithfulness, in en
couraging, counselling, and if necessary, re
i proving his brethren, was worthy of all
j praise; and as a judicious, watchful, eonsci
j entions, punctual, pains-taking deacon, a
| brighter model has nevef appeared in our
j churches. Ilia pecuniary bounties were
i scattered over a broad field with a liberal
! hand. For many years before he died, his
I entire income beyond his necessary expen
i ses Aas consecrated to pious purposes; and
| towards the close of life, liis benefactions
I would sometimes encroach upon his capi
j till. For a long time, to the writer’s knowl
| edge, he contributed annually one hundred
I dollars to oacfi of some half a dozen relig
: ions objects; whilst his extra contributions
of from one hundred to one thousand dol-
I lars, (unknown indeed to many,) Were not
; unfrequent. In his last will and testament,
the claims of Zion were as sacredly remem
bered as the children of his own body.—
Long will it be before we shall see in our
inidstsueh a minister as Jesse Mcreot, and
perhaps as long before wo shall see such a
deacon as Thomas Cooper. He entered
into his rest, July, 1813, in the 73d year of
his age.

“Out of thine own mouth will I judge
thee.” Luke xix. 2.
Our brother of the Record, after intima
ting that the sale of the Psalmist in the
South is such as to render the project of a
Southern hymn hook premature, says,
“However, if Bro. B. and onr southern
friends, are indeed serious on this subject,
and think that it would he advantageous to
the South, and promote the spirituality and
comfort ol the brethren to have a hymn
hook adapted to their location and habits,
we hope, they will set about it ingood faith,
amftillow the baptist Publication Society
to publish and place on it theirimprint, and
thus derive the profit from its sale; instead
of throwing it into the hands of a private
publishing house.”
On this paragraph we have a few things
to say : 1. It is rather strange that our re
spected brother should wish the proposed
work to he published by our Publication
Society, if lie thought it could not compete
with the Psalmist.
2. He virtually condemns the action of
the board of Managers, for “throwing—in
ttrthe hands of a private publishing house”
the publication of the Psalmist. It was
contended by brother Jewell and the agent
of the Society, that the publication of the
hymn hook, designed as a standard denom
inational hymn book, by “a private pub
lishing house,” advanced the interests of
the Society more than if it had been pub
lished by the Society; but now that it is
proposed to get up a hyUnn hook for the
South, it is discovercdTliat it would he
mote , afitable to have it published bv the
text at the * f ‘ Vc think
j x* - ‘
we might venture to warrant, that those
who may publishNa southern hymn book,
would be very willing to allow Abe Society
lo participate in the profits of the work, on
terms similar to those which they accepted
from Messrs. Gould, Kendall and Lincoln
—so, be easy, brother. ’
-3. The proposition to which allusion was
made did not originate with us, neither did
the suggestion about hymns adapted to the
condition of our servants. If our brother
knew their origin lie would boas mute as
a mouse. \Ye approve, most cordially,
both of the proposition and the suggestion.
There are passages of scripture adapted to
the condition of masters, and others adapt
ed to that of setvants; and so must our
hymns be, if they accord with the scrip
tures.
As top the “orders—coming from the
South,” we know that a certain class of bre
thren, (whom we cannot even so much as
name without giving offence !) have order
ed on a large quantity of the hooks in ques
tion, but we happen to know, too, that they
find a dull sale for them.
From the Baptist Record.
“ Southern Cump Meeting Hymn. —ln
the poet’s corner on the fouith page, will
lie found a rare specimen ol poelrv, and an
example of the kind of hymns that are fre
quently sungat camp meetings in the South,
and by the coloured population at their so
cial meetings. If this is one of the hymns
for “servants” and of which it is said, there
are none to be found in the Psalmist, we are
tuH surprised that objection should he made
to the book, in certain quarters.”
REMARKS ON THE ABOVE.
1. Wesliouhl nottliinktheeditoi’ssnecrs
at Southern taste ami practices calculated to
advance the interests of his paper in a South
ern latitude, but in this we may be mista
ken.
2. The editor’s allusion to us, in thecoit
neciiou in which it is made, is wholly gra
tuitous, uncalled for, and indicative of a
state of feeling entirely different from that
manifested before we had the hardihood lo
object to the Psalmist.
3. We have uever said a word about the
song entitled “The Old Ship Zion,” either
for or against it; but wc will now say, that
we certainly think it less objectionable than
the heathenish odes that are to be /burn! in
a certain hymn book, cditeiU’lTv a certain
prominent abolitionist, and kept for sale at
the Depository of the A. B. P. and S. S.
Society, Philadelphia. Brother, keep cool
and quiet. We have no desire to break a
lance with you. XV e esteem you too high

or a plume from the pinion ot voih'ambi

Baptism by PitdobnptisTs.
The following preamble and resolution
were passed by the Dover Association at its
session heid last month.
If'hereas, many individuals who have
been immersed by a p.-cdo-baptist Minis
ter, wish to unite’ with the African Baptist
Church in Williamsburg, and whereas, the
Church desire advice as to the propriety of
their reception* therefore, •
Resolved, That in view of the advice
sought by the African. Baptist Church in
Williamsburg, we rcconiniend, according
to the decision of (his Association, at its
meeting at Clark’s Neck, ami subsequently
at Enimaus, that the individuals inferred to
be not received.
The Dover is the oldest and largest As
sociation.in Virginia. The Ayes and Noes
were called for on the above resolution,
which were as follows: Ayes, 52—Noes

The Rappahannock Association, at its
late session, passed the following resolu

Resolved, That this Association request
the Churches composing this body, to send
up their candidates for ordination atom reg
ular Sessions, to be examined by a Com
mittee appointed for the purpose, who up
on such examination, shall advise the dm reli
es as to the expediency or inexpediency of
ordaining such.
The I’ortmouth Association, we think,
passed a similar one at their meeting in
May last.
