tended to this study was given by the President.
Passing through the audience, he requessed a sen
tence promiscously from each oue. This elicited
some amusing specimens in Geography, law, med
icine, politics, tine arts, ami drollery, until fifty dis
tinct and heterogeneous sentences were pronounc
ed in the hearing of the class. These sentences
were then promptly repeated by different young
hulies, who began at the first and went through the
entire fifty in regular order. They reversed the
order with equal success. Various numbers were
then called for, when the class gave the correspond
ing sentence. Also, on calling the sentence, the
elas- would as readily announce its appropriate
number.
Tn the department of Belles Lettres, we would
particularize but one class as a sample of the
whole. And we select this not because it is the
be-t that can be chosen, but because the examin
ation in it was novel in its plan, and gave assur
ance that a master hand had guided the study.—
We allude to the class in History. The time
spent in this study is usually time thrown away.
But h.-re we discovered that a frame work, com
bining till the prominent events of history, had
been erected in the minds of each pupil. Each
was able to name the cotemporaneous sovereigns
dPUMI I: h,Afln4- tegivajUtfr -tending
historical knowledge of the ladies had been laid
up philosophically, and that they will be ready at
any future time to add, in its proper place , the re
sult.-: of their future readings.
‘fhe exercises of Monday were closed by a very
satisfactory examination of the Senior Class, in
Astronomy. At the same time there were exhib
ited quite a number of drawings of solar and lu
nar eclipses, calculated and projected by the young
ladies in a manner highly creditable to themselves
and their instructor.
But time would fail us to speak of all the things
that were worthy of notice. During the whole
of the examination the pupils did well—-very well.
Whether natural or metaphysical science, belles
lettres, or languages were the subject of attention,
the same ready and accurate responses were giv
en, which have ever characterized the pupils of
this College.
On Tuesday, the Junior Class read their compo
sitions in the hearing of a very large and atten
tive audience, and elicited universal satisfaction.—
The compositions displayed a wide range of sub
jects, as well as a most gratefying versatility of
intellect. We hero witnessed flashes of wit, and
the keen edge of sarcasm, interspersed with
appeals to the deeper feelings of the soul. In a
word, most of the pieces manifested cultivated
minds and virtuous hearts.
At five o’clock we witnessed some interesting
ceremonies, upon the setting of a neat sun-dial up
on a marble pedestal, in front of the College Chap
el. The calculations for the dial were made by
the members of the Senior Class. This we re
gard as a triumph of the female mind over the in
tricacies of mathematical calculations. Upon the
dial plate is the following inscription— lu
ted, Projected, and Erected bp the the
Graduating Class of 1855. Georgia Mmale Col
lege. Latitude 33 deg., 43 min., 20 sec. North.”
These ceremonies were concluded by ashort but
appropriate address from John S. Sale, Esq., of
Augusta, Ga.
At night, the musical department gave a Con
ceal, in which was iProduced both vocal and in
wfas played in its appri^®P®
Toovement,” and that the important graces of “ac
cent,'’ and “expression” had not been lost sight of,
whilst “time” and “harmony,” the body and soul of
music, were prominent in every performance.—
Some of the longest and most intricate pieces were
performed with admirable skill, clearly showing
that each pupil had received thorough instruction.
Several of the young ladies, in singing, displayed
a richness, combined with a softness and sweetness
of tone that we have never heard equalled. The
large and somewhat boisterous assembly which
crowded the spacious Chapel was frequently push
ed to breathless silence by the voice of a single
maiden.
< hi Wednesday, the young ladies of the Gradu
ating Class read their eoiujjositions to a crowded
ami delighted audience. The parents and friends
of this . lass have great cause of gratification,
whether we consider the subjects selected, the
spirited manner in which they were written,
or the clear and distinct enunciation with which
they were read. We take great pleasure in say
ing that the Georgia Female College may receive
■t high compliment by pointing to the graduating
class of 1855. After a moving and appropriate
address from President Browne, handsomely exe
cuted diplomas were presented to the graduates,
twenty in number. The exercises both of this day
and the day before, were interspersed with some
choice gems of music, vocal and instrumental, ad
mirably performed.
The exhibition by the “School of Design” was
of the most pleasing character. The Chapel walls
were decorated with many specimens of paintings
in crayon, oil, Ac. We noticed particularly the
“foliage.” the “hair,” the “drawing,” and the “col
oring,” Itccause these are the points upon which
tyros so generally fail. The coloring was perhaps
a litile too high for our grave taste, but that is a
defect which nothing but time and experience can
correct. The other points commanded our admi
ration for the successful labor bestowed upon them,
and for the artistic finish in almost every part.
The wax flowers and fruits were displayed in
the Apparatus Room, and such a display we have
never before seen. Flowers of every variety, as
natural as if copied directly from nature; wax
1< aves, exhibiting the veins of the true leaf, with
wonderful accuracy; fruit, luscious and juicy,
tempting the palate; and all the work of the young
ladies.
At five o’clock, Col. X. G. Foster delivered an
address which we must characterize as short,
healthy and happy.
Economy of time and good order prevailed
throughout the exercises. At no time was there
the slightest contusion or delay. At the tap of
an unseen bell, the class which had undergone
examination would retire by oue door, whilst the
next cla=s in order would appear through another
door, with a promptness and quietness which
showed that good order and discipline prevailed
r.o the highest degree.
The Board of Visitors take pleasure in paying
a merited compliment to the President and Fac
ulty. No department has been neglected. The
education of the student is entire and thorough in
every department.
Regarding the history of the past as a sufficient
guarantee for the future, we commend the Georgia
Female College to the country, as a seat of learn
ing entitled to their highest confidence.

Dear Pro. Dagg : —My brother Horatio J.
Goss’ last meeting with the Baptist Church of
Christ at Fellowship, Anderson District, S. C.,
was one of much interest. It was commenced
Saturday before the 3d Lord’s day in this month,
and continued seven days and six nights. Eigh
teen were added to the church by baptism, and
one restored. Brethren J. Grimes, B. Goss,.l. C.
& Wm. Jones, with myself, assisted in the meet
ing morq or less. The meeting closed at the
water, where 1 baptized ten persons, on Friday
evening,my brother, the pastor, having left Thurs
day evening, after hap tiling eight persons, to com
mence a meeting with his Harmony church, El
bert county, Ga. lie commenced his meeting
Friday before the fourth Lord’s day in this month ;
continued till Tuesday after, and then adjourned
the meeting to Saturday before the fifth Lord’s
day. At which time it was taken up again and
continued till Monday. The meeting I learn was
quite interesting. Four or five were received for
baptism and others by letter.
Friday night, after dismissing the meeting of
Fellowship church, 1 met the people of my charge
at Big Genesostee church, Anderson district, S. C.
and continued with them day and night till yes
terday, or for ten days. Twenty-nine were re
ceived for baptism. We usually had baptizing
between nine and ten o’clock in the morning,
preaching at eleven, prayer meetings about an hour
before sunset, and then preaching at early candle
light. This meeting was remarkably interesting
all the time. The church was much revived and
had a mind to work in the Lord’s cause. The
Lord added to the church daily such as should he
saved. I know that I ever saw before such
a feeling, weeping lime as we had there yester
day, when taking and giving the parting hand.
What strange feelings does the pastor have when
bidding his brethren and sisters farewell, after la
boring amongst them day and night for several
days ! When bidding the lambs of the flock
farewell ! —and when bidding mourners farewell
for whom he has often prayed, and to whom lie
has often preached Christ and Him crucified as
the only Savior given under heaven amongst men,
whereby they must be saved ! Strange feelings
indeed! —a mixture of joy and grief ! I was as
sisted in this meeting two nights by brother Ver
non, and more or less of the time hv brethren J.
C. A Wm. Jones, whose membership is with this
church. Also, we were assisted, a part of the
time that the meeting was held, by brother James
Sullivan, one of the young members that had
just joined at Fellowship. This young brother!
was useful by public prayers and exhortations,
and it is hoped that the Lord will make him
abundantly useful in his service.
Yours with Christian respects,
J. 11. GOSS.

The Canada Btypists.
It is not a matter of to the care
ful reader that there are a numtterof open com
munion Baptist clergymen in Canada. Whether
these men were educated in England, where open
communion has done its perfect worßfor whether
THE CHRISTIAN I NDEX.
it is from sympathy with their English brethren,*
or some other cause, that they maintain the anom
alous position of open communion Baptists, we
are not informed. It seems, however, that there
has been no distinct organization of open com
munion Baptists in Canada, until quite recently.
The “ Regular Baptist Denomination,” and open
eommunionists, commenced tlieir united Evangel
ical operations in 183 G, and carried them on to
gether for about twelve years, when the Regular
Baptists refused to co-operate with their open com
munion friends in missionary and educational in
stitutions, on the old basis of Union. A meeting
of the open eommunionists lias recently been held
in Toronto, which the Montreal Witness notices
as follows:
“ A Convention of ministers and members ot
the Baptist denomination in Canada, was held in
Toronto, on Wednesday and Thursday last, with
the view of taking steps towards a reorganization
of the body, considered necessary in consequence
of the withdrawal from their fellowship of the
“ Regular Baptists.” The Rev. John Gilrnour, oi
Peterboro, was chosen Moderator, and the Rev. A.
Borinjer, Secretary. On the recommendation of
a special Cemmittee, consisting of the Rev. Dr.
Davies, Rev. R. Dick, and the Rev. Mr. Roberts, a
constitution entitled the “Baptist Union of Cau
sis, and if so, we think the sooner it and the Con
gregational Union could he United the better.”
The “Congregational Union,” is undoubtedly a
more appropriate field of union for these men
that of the “Regular Baptist Denominatien* in
Caanda.” The experiment of a union of strict
and open communion Baptists, has been pretty
thoroughly tested in England, and proved a tie* ~
ded failure. Open communion Baptist churches
there, have, to all intents and purposes, become
Pedobaptist churches, and this is the tendency of
open communionism everywhere. The simple ac
knowledgement of an important Bible truth is not
enough.—Let that truth be acknowledged, and at
the same time disregarded, or lightly
and it will pretty certainly fall into disrepute. It
has been so almost invariably in England, Baptists
there have been so liberal as to admit Pedobap
tists into their churches, and the consequence has
been that these churches have become essentially
Pedobaptist. In admitting that the Bible requires
of them obedience to a plain command of Christ,
and does not require the same obedience from offic
ers in church fellowship with them, they have
brought the truth into disrepute, and the conse
quence has been a virtual overthrow of that truth,
so fai at least as the influence of the particular
church of which they are members, is concerned.
The Montreal Witness presumes that the “ Bap
tist Union of Canada,” consisting of some twenty
ministers, is formed upon “the open communion
basis.” To this the Christian Messenger, publish
ed at Brantford, Canada West, replies in the fol
lowing firm an<l dignified language. We are re
joiced to see that the Regular Baptists of Canada
are decided and unyielding on this important ques
tion. The Messenger says:
“ Now as Regular Baptists we have nothing to
fear, but much to hope from this organization.—
The question of Open or Close Communion is one
which has been productive of no small amount of
agitation among the Baptists of Canada—and the
result lias clearly proved that it was impossible for
open any/sfriet communion Baptists to work liar
monio|A together, in denominational
the uvular Baptists ‘of Canada to
zatiyns which should embrace those, holding their
distinctive views and principles. Such organiza
tions they have formed and sustained, and the
pity is that the line of demarcation was not drawn
distinctly, sooner than it was, and that those who
have now formed themselves into a Union, after
being disorganized for about seven years, had hot
formed such, seven years ago, or even what would
have been better, before that period. It would
have saved a great deal of trouble and agitation.
These brethren have as good a right to form Soci
eties, and to operate through those Societies, as
any class of men under heaven, and to advocate
through theii instrumentality, their religious views
and opinions, and we would not seek for a moment
to hinder or retard their progress. All we ask is
to he left to pursue the own tenor of our way
without molestation. As matters now are, those
who are Close Communionists can work with those
who are conscientiously opposed to the practice of
Open Communion, and who have no fellowship
with it, and can find among the Regular Bap
tists those who agree with them in this add other
points. When two do not agree and cannot walk
together, reason and Scripture both counsel a sep
aration, so that there may he no strife between
them. Strife is always unseemly among men, and
more so among Christian men, professing godli
ness.
“Now that those brethren before named have
formed themselves into a Society or Union, the
constitution of which defines their views and prin
ciples distinctly, so that there can be no mistake
about the matter —we wish them success, regard
ing their organization as a favorable omen for the
success of the general cause. The Denomination
of Regular Baptists in Canada, is strong and pow
erful, and is destined to become increasingly so
We have no fear as to the ultimate triumph which
awaits us, if we are only faithful to God and our
principles, and this new movement excites no fears
on that point, in our mind, blit gives birth to new
hopes, of a brighter day to the Regular Baptists
ofoCanada, than any they have heretofore scent
tlu\ present not excepted.
“ Should the Baptist Union lately formed unite,
with the Congregational Union, or any other Pe
dobaptist organization, it will cause us no trouble
or uneasiness whatever. We shall hold on our
way.— Zion's Advocutv.

OBITUARY.
-*> • • **-
“Dust thou art, ami unto dust thou shalt return.”
a. Died, in Tattnall County, at the residence of her falijr,
ori the 15th. Inly, 1355, Saraii, daughter of James and Sarah
Tillman, aged 3 years, G months arid 9 days. We mourn riot
the deparlure of our lillle daughter, as a flower yet unblown
she has been taken from earth to bloom in Heaven. “The
Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be tin*
name of the Lord.” May her parents, brothers and sisters,
meet her in that happy land.
Died, of inflamatory fever, after an illness of 17 days, at his
father’s residence in Talbot counly, Ga., June 241 h, in the
27tU year of his age, Mr. Robert Barnes I’ickard, young
est sow of Micajah and Sarah Pickard. The subject of this
notice joined the Baptisi Church in 1352, and lias been a
devoted pious ami humble Christian until tin* day of his death.
Seldom does the smiting hand of Providence inflict a blow
that is felt with keener emotions of sorrow and regret both
by relatives ami friends than is experienced on this occasion.
Here we behold the proudest expectations of a father and
the fondest hopes of an affectionate and tender Mother—
crushed to earth--crushed to rise no more. He was a man
unasuming in lijs manners, kind and generous as a neigtibor,
graever forgetting a friend, and never did that which would
®reaie an enemy. His place in the family circle and comma
nky can never be filled.
Bui he lias left the brightest of evidence that their loss is his
eternal gain. For some two ‘.ears past, he was in the habit
of carrying a pocket testament with him, which lie perused
when opportunity presented itself. Oft in the still night, af,
ter retiring U> rest, lie could be heard ir. his devotions to Al
mighty God, and also repeating different passages of Scrip
ture. A few days after lie was confined to his her! he told
a friend that he should die, but he was ready. He bore Ids
sickness with great fortitude and resignation, awaiting his
heavenly Father’s will. Tiie morning of the day that lie died
being conscious that the time, of tiis departure was at
hand, lie sung several stanzas of different songs. A short
time before Ids departure, lie engaged in prayer that ids
brothers and sisters might meet idm in liea v en. He also
and prayed for all Ids associates that they might
meet him where parting is no more. He then turned to Ids
faithful physician—exhorted ami prayed him also. He soon
fell asleep in Jesus with a heavenly smile on his countenance,
leaving ids aged parents, brothers and sisters, and a large
circle of friends to mourn tlieir loss. Then let us live the
life of the righteous that our last end may b*iike ids.

Died, at her residence, in Elbert county, Ga., June 25th.
Mrs. Elizabeth M. Arnold, the wife of Mr. Davis Ar
nold, in the 70th year. She joined the Baptist Church of
Christ at Dove’s Creek, about 27 years ago, and was bap
tized hv I lie Rev. F. Caiaway. She lived an exemplary life
ns a Christian. She was more or less afflicted for two years,
but not confined until a short time before her departure.—
Being struck with paralasis, she was not able to converse as
much at t lie close of life as she might otherwise have done ;
but was permitted before she had become speechless to tell
her friends that she felt prepared to go—that all was well;
and to bid them in a eaitn, deliberate manner, farewell.—
This was Friday evening, and then on Monday morning af
ter, she fell asleep in Christ. Let not the bereaved mourn
as those who have no hope. Though sister Arnold is dead
she shall live again with all (lie redeemed.
J. E. BENTLE-Y.
Died, at the residence of Steplin English, Esq., on the 6th
of August, 1851, Benjamin Sandford. He was horn in
Halifax county, N. C., March 12th, 1770.
There were no thorns in his dying pillow, no lingering re
grets, over a prayerless and unfaithful pilgrimage, no dark
cloud shrouding his heavenly hopes, ft was no leap into the
dark, with painful doubts as to whether he would sink or
rise. His death was a whole battle field of triumphs.
Truly, as the wise man says: “The heart knows its own
bitterness, and a stranger intermeddleth not with its joys,”
but yvilli friends that love us, and are beloved, the case is
far different. And how gladly do we pour into the sympa
thizing bosom the burden f sorrows that has overcharged
our own. ‘Die few facts, hastily cast together at the present
time, go to show what the man was during his career of life,
and through the illness produced by the wane of life, which
had waxed to over four score and four years. He al
ways exercised, in a peculiar manner, the grace of patience,
with which it pleased Deity abundantly to endow him. It
was his wish that patience might have its perfect, work,and
Deity lie glorified thereby. When his sands were fast wast
ing away, lie was never heard to murmur one word, but
was resigned and dignified, with the ful! and unmistakable
assumince before him. At the same time, he used diligence,
with proper means, to assist his recovery, if such should be
Deity’s will ; yet in tiie probable event of his speedy depar
ture lie was not only resigned, hut looked forward to death
as a happy entrance to eternal bliss. lie was and had been
an accepted member of tiie Old Baptist Church for many
years; and there are few who have been blessed t live to
such a green old age, and enjoyed with happiness and con
tentment tiie society of life so much. lie was married to

Missionary Wanted!
nU HE REHOBOTH FOREIGN MISSION COM
* MITTEE, desires to procure a brother aud his
companion, who will go on the Mission to Central Af
rica, to till the place occupied by the late Brother
Dennard and his wife, and make ourn>port at the next
session of the Rehoboth Association.
Brother Dennard and his wife, *av sent out and
_ supported rjp no
ees, and crfjgjy lofVt is to pro
vide well for our missionaries while laboring, and for
their return at the end of three or four years, to im
prove their health, aud to foster a missionary spirit in
the Churches.
The oue hundred millions and more, of Africa, must
have the Gospel. They are included iu the number
of those to whom the Savior said, “Go preach the
Gospel.” The field of labor in Central Africa is a
promising one. The Kings in the interior desire mis
sionaries, and offer them every inducement to settle
among them. Then “the word of God is not bound.”
The climate in the interior, is not so unhealthy as
has been generally supposed ; and missionaries may
go there with the prospect of ordinary length of life.
Besides this, the people, unlike those on the coast, are
partly civilized, and have some of the common comforts
of life.
But were the climate over so insalubrious, the foun
dations for our missionary oppositions must be laid,
and the supporting of this stupendous building—this
temple, which we intend to erreet, to the name of the
Most High —must be erected by the labor of our white
brethren. The language must be reduced to writing,
dictionaries must be made, grammars constructed, and
a plan of general operations fixed, before we can dis
pense with their aid. When this is accomplished, then
it may be practicable to carry forward the work by
the labor of colored men, who are better fitted by na
ture to Southern climates. But cost what it may, it
must be done! Africa is a part oi the world, and these
saUp sons, are a part of her “early creation.”
Let our young men and maidens, who have given
themselves to God, in solemn covenant, and are anxious
to do something for the Savior, ask themselves, wheth
er this be not the field in which God will have them
work—let them hear the voice of their Lord while he
says “Go work to-day in my vineyard.” The morning
of youth will soon pass, and the night will come.”—
“Go work to-day in my vineyard.”
The Committee will take occasion in this communi
cation also to call the attention of the Rehoboth Asso
ciation to the propriety, of erecting suitable Grave
stones, over the remains of our fallen Missionaries. Let
all the churches, individuals, or friends, who favor this
object, send up their contributions to the next meeting
of our body at Perry. We prayed for and sustained ;,
our beloved Dennard aud wife ; while they lived, we
cherish their memory now that they are no more, and
we will erect some monumental stones, to tell their
names, their virtues, and their work.

rpHLS Institution, by j nto
A with the I rustecs North, Ainu “fitc consumma
tion of said compromise, is now entirely under the
control of Southern Trustees, and located in George
town, Scott county, Kentucky.
Relieved from embarrassment, caused by the im
possibility of mutual co-operation, between the North
and the South, situated in one of the most delightful
and healthy portions of the South-west, and with en
dowment sufficient to authorize the selections of the
most able teachers that can be procured, the Trus
tees feel persuaded that the Institute is destined to
exert a wide and salutary influence among the church
es, by the education of students for the ministry.
I lie plan of instruction will remain as heretofore,
with such improvements, from time to time, as ex
perience may suggest and the wants of the churches
may demand.
No person can be admitted to the Institute, unless
he is approved by the church of which lie is a mem
hqj: as a candidate for the ministry, and comes with
suitable recommendations of piety and other qualifi
cations, from at least one well known minister of the
Gospel, i poii presenting such testimonials, he is
to be examined by the Faculty, in relation to his
Christian experience, call to the ministry, and profi
ciency in study.
Ihe regular course iu Theology embraces a period
of two years. This is designed for graduates of Col
leges, and those who have an education equivalent
to a regular college course, alftd as far as practicable
a fair knowledge of Hebrew-grammar. Provision,
however, is made for a limited course, adopted to
age, mental endowments, pecuniary circumstances,
and necessities of the churches, so that the latest
number may be prepared for more extensive useful
ness in the shortest space of time.
No student will be retained any longer than he
evinegs true piety and encouraging progress in his
studies.
All the students of the Institute shall have furnish
ed rooms and tuition without charge.
Provision is made for preparatory education, or
education not strictly theological, to such an extent
as nitty be desirable, by an arrangement with the
’trustees and Faculty of the Georgetown College.
Frequent opportunities will be arranged for the
young men wno are preparing for the ministry, to
preach the Gospel. And besides this, they will be
required to engage in the ,Sabbath School and Bi
ble classes, on the Sabbath. ‘ J> ~’
The Faculty at tlte present time consists of the
Rev. S. W. Lynd, D. D., President, and Professor of
Systematic and Pastoral theology ; and the Rev. D.
R. Campbell, LL. TANARUS)., Professor of Biblical Literature
and interpretation. The department of Ecclesiasti
cal History will be provided for, by a mutual ar
rangement between the College and the Institute.
Boarding will cost from $1 to $1 50 per week.
The students in Theology will have access to the
Library of the Gollogc, as well as to the Library of
the Institute.
An arrangement is contemplated by which the In
stitute shall take the entire supervision and respon
sibility of all students for the ministry who may at
tend at Georgetown, and by which the Kentucky
Baptist Education Society shall furnish pecuniary
aid to deserving young men of advanced attainments
in literary studies.
The next session will commence on the third
Monday in September.

Van’s Valley, Floyd county, Ca, containing 317 acres,
more or less, returned I3t’ quality, oak and hickory,
mostly of soil and surface not to wash—some 100 acres

of many well-selected varieties, especially of appcls,
and a large and commodious brick dwelling, surround
