under a deep and just conviction of the want* of j
the Southern Baptist Publication Society. Thu j
Society is not able to employ any colporteurs to j
engage in book distribution, nor is it able to pub- 1
Hah all the works which are offered, however suit- i
able to the wants of tl>p denomination and of the !
country. Thentmoet which the Board of the So
ciely can do, with the limited capital provided, is
to issue h few of tire most apporved publications .
which are offerhd. at tire least expense, i,nd to
to sustain vigorously the Depository establishment
in Charleston, a* a medium and a source of sup
ply, for a!! the lx>ok* which may be called Cor by
t the denomination and the public. Hut this pri
mary interest itself needs an enlarged basis
capital, so that the Depository tnay increase its
its operations several fold, as soon as possible.
It is believed that no institution in the country,
whether a denominational or public institution, or
an individual enterprise, has accomplished a larg
er amount of operations, with such a limited capi
tal. The other great publication ■ institutions in
this country, both those which are denomination
al and those which are conducted by the union of
denominations, have ail such a pecuniary basis
and such resources as enable >hem to accomplish
in a good degree, the work which they have as
sumed, or which has been committed to them.
1 ids Society has now existed nine years, and in
■.lew of the present pressure and the growing de
mands upon it, the Board cannot but regard the
present era a* a highly ••ntica! period of its histo j
ry. If it fails in the present effort for enlargement i
It may fall back into a crippled and permanently
inferior position. We therefore tiK*i respectfully I
and earnestly beg you to consider whether you j
may not avail yourself of the present occasion, to |
contribute effectively towards the foundation of h ’
[society, o eminently fitted to advance the Baptist j
denomination and the cause of Christ, through j
the South and South-West. And if you do{ not j
feel it to be in your power to contribute the above [
sum of five hundred dollar* on the terms above f
proposed, may you not he able to induce uno or j
more reliable {a rsons to join with vou. s a ciub. ;
for making up the given amount, it being under- i
stood, that the pledge will stand in your name, 1
guarantied by such persona a* mv join with you j
in assuming these shares.

Something Wrong.
During the month of February, (a month in
which the receipts of the Index, as well a* other J
papers, are larger than any other) information ha? !
been sought about letters mailed to this office, and i
containing money, which have never come to hand, i
About that time several men were arrested on j
charge of robbing the mail at*d, no doubt, some of |
the mouey sent to the Index, was put into the j
pockets of dishonest public officers. This money i
is of couse lost tv the paper, as all such is sent at
it* risk., The plan adopted by some of writing the
word ‘•registered” on their letters, facilitates the pro
cess by. w ith those who are base enough can plunder
the mail. They are under no necessity of examin
ing every ietter, when there is a mark upon those j
w hich contain money. If those who send roonev i
would fail to have it registered, they would save
the additional pas tag**, and the letter would more
frequently reach its distination.
/fifThc following was received in time for the
last paper, and would have appeared but for an
oversight of the printer. This is the second in
stance in which the Publication Society have been
imposed upon. A year or two since a man by the

Accident. —We foam that the passenger tram
due here to-day, ran off about 95 miles from this
city. The engineer, Mr, Cody of this ?itv, and
some others, wore injured more or less seriously,
and it is reported that the Fireman could not be j
found when the other train left. The accident |
was caused by the act of some miscreant who I

the track.— Savannah Journal.
Central American Question. —A dispatch from

after supposed death, in Cincinnati’: “A child had
to all appearances died, and was laid out in its

and the grave also dug. Some time after, the
father went into the room where the child was,
and was astounded at its calling him bv name and
complaining that it did not lie good. Os course
the little sufferer was supplied with a better bed

from which it was awakened by a hard bed and

: ident of the Board of Trustee*, requesting a (all
’ and rigid inquiry into their course in reference to
the causes which may be supposed to have led to
its present condition. This, we think, is just, dig
nified and manly. They have appealed to the tri
bunal. to which they are directly responsible, in
; stead of restorting to newspaper discussion, which
might involve painful issues highly detrimental to
the beet interests of the College.— So. Carolinian.
Misery and Want in the North. —A large

i out means of employment, and that this winter
j has been to them as severe and distressing rfs the
j past. The association for improving the condition
j of the poor has in its books nearly fifty thousand
J person*.
i They complain that the conventions of the va
: rious political parties lately held in Northern cities
i have entirely ignored the claim* ol the free w'brk
-1 men of the country and lavished all their aympa
i thy on Southern slaves. This touching appeal,
i we fear, will meet with cold support from Nortli
: em citizens. The sad condition of the industrial
! classes in the North, however, is to be attributed
i chiefly to the selfishness of their employers, wjio
whine over the lot of the well-fed negro in the
South, and at the same time extort from the ne
cessities of the free laborer the greatest quantity
of work for the meanest pittance, and when trade
slackens cast him ruthlessly on the world.—Au

I in the pursuit of her duineetic hflares, fell to rise no more,
I till summoned by Gabriel’* last trump; then it will rise a

PROSPECTUS OF
“THE CO.HiHISSIO.ir,”
A MISSIONARY MAGAZINE,
PUBLISHED monthly by the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Southern Baptist Convention,
Richmond. Va., 32 pages 8 vo.
“Thk Commission” will be mainly devoted to the
promotion of Foreign Missions, though it will from
time to t rne record the progress of other Christian
enterprises, *'specia.ly those of the Convention. It
may be expected to contain the journals and letters of
out J/is:;iouaries, articles advocating the cause of the
Heathen, historical ud biographical ske*chee from
the pens of our ablest writer*, sad such other matter
as may be of gener 1 interest.
i\o pains or expense will be spared in the endeavor
lo make it eminently wo-thy of patronage.
The matter of “The Commissi m” will, to a eo- sid
ernble extent, be diff -rent from that contained in the
Home and Foreign Jour-al, so that those who take
both papers will find ea h possessing its own peculiar
value.
It is Intended to make “The Commission” the reposi
tory of our missionary history. The Minutes of th-
Convention will be published in its pages. That *uch
a repository is needed there is a general conviction,
and the Board are convineedsthat in publishing “The
Commission” they shall be meeting a felt want.
Terms —One copy per annum, ?1 in advance.
Any perpon sending the names of five subscribers
with t**e money, [|s] shall receive a sixth copy free
for one year.

TO THE PUBLIC.
CHEROKEE BAPTIST COLLEGE.
NEAR CASSVILLE, GA.
OWING to the late destruction of our College
edifice, by fire, we are deprived of the occu
pancy of the same for this year. But we are happy
to state that the contractors have commenced, with
renewed energy, to rebuild tbo same, relying on a
generous community to assist them so far as able.
The Board of Trustees announce that the School
will begin as published in our Prospectus and ad
vertisements, on the Ist WEDNESDAY in FEBRU
ARY next. We have procured a good house, con
taining six convenient rooms, in the out-skirts of the
viliaee, in which the school will be conducted. We
also have procured, on ! the premises, the use of three
small buildings which will accommodate* ten or
fifteen young men wishing to board themselves.—
We therefore say to one and all, come on and you
will have good accommodations and the very best of
instruction.
In view of the great loss we have sustained, we
would make a most earnest appeal to our old sub
scribers to pay up their old subscriptions without
delay. The subscribers to the endowment fund are
respectfully requested to pay, immediately, the inte
rest on their subscriptions for the first year—due the
Ist ult., and so much of the installment due, or sub
scription, as is convenient for them. The same can
be paid to Rev. Edwin Dyer, Rev. John Crawford,
or sent to me by mail. Any additional sum from
any one to enable us to meet our losses, -Kill be grate
fully received. We hope, in view of our calamity,
no ot..er call will bo necessary.

mendations of the Book:
From Rkv. Dr. Bllcher, of Philadelphia.
“I thank you for an opportunity to examine your
valuable manuscript, and for the t ileut and care shown
in its preparation While entirely different from nny
( thing yet published, it presents 1-iets and principles
which the members of our churches need to under
stand, and which would tend to increase their pi‘-ty
and usefulness. May ample succese follow your la
bors.”
From Rev Dr. Dowling, of Philadelphia.
“Asa book or popular reading and reference, l
think it would bo very valuable, and meet with a
ready sale. The Catena Baptistgerum (as it may be
called,) or connet'.ed chain of Baptists irom John the
Baptist down to the British and American Baptists is
well done, as c nupiete as the proposed brevity of the
book would admit, and will be priz -d by the mass of
our Baptist people, v/ho have not access to .he volu
minous authorities which have been comafted. The
book, when published, by it* comprehensive ness of
plan and compactness of execution, wTI bo an admi
rable specimen of a B iptist ‘tooli-um in pnrvo.’”
From Rev. M G. Cl-arke, of Philadelphia,
“It fills an important pli.ee, for which we have no
other book. • The style is cl* ar, the sp rit is kind, the
reasoning careful, and the argument conc'ueive. We ■
need it-as a manual of B .prist polite and history.—
Baptists have done a gr. at an l goo 1 wo-k already,
and hive a greater and more glorious one in the fu
ture, and our church* s uee I to be instructed both in
the principles of their faith .nd in the greatness of
their achievements. lam persuade 1 t hat tins book
will render important aid.”
From Rkv Joseph Banv \rd, ol V,w York.
“Your history of ihe B ipt -t- is an int resting and
eminently useful wors; just.su- h au one as every min
ister and every intelligent el.rist.ian'onghi to have in
his library. It present* in a >*ond -used form th-re
sults of extended r* search, with ref.-reti eto tin ori
gin, the history, the persecutions, the polity, m and the
present condition of our denomination, in a manner
which makes a reference to any of these subjects per
fectly easy. I should rjoce to learn of i's wide cir
