,D*ar Brother :—’Believing that the render-) of
the Christian Index would like to know the g<xxi
eeiis of the Lord among his people, I saud you a
brief notice of a meeting held at Mount Zion
Church, Pike county, commencing Friday before
the third Lord's day iti July, and which was con
tinued tec days. During that time the good Lord
poured out His Spirit among the people, insomuch
that saint* were made to rejoice, sinners wers con
victed, m mrners were comforted, and ail felt that
it was good to be there. On the fourth Sabbath
morning, I led fifteen happy subjects into the Bap
tismal waters and buried them with Christ—-throe
were also added to the Church by letter. Th*
work, \vc trust, will go on, and many yet bo re
ceived as the fruits of this meeting. The minis
ters ia attendance were the Rev. C. Purifoy, Lang
ley, and Moncrisff. May tuo good Lord reward
Uicrn in their labors of love. Yours respectful
ly in the bonds of Christian affection,

a few days. Ho has been appointed by the Court

The Atlantic Telegraph. —The first attempt to
lay a cable telegraph across the Atlantic having
been unsuccessful, another is about to be made.—
The length of the cable will be 2,400 miles, and
two steamers, each with 1,200 miles of cable, will
meet midway between Ireland and Newfoundland,
and after uniting the cable.*- wiil proceed i:; oppo
site directions to ‘ami.
Trans*Atlantic Telegraph.-*—A company 1 has
t>cen proposed for the purpose of establishing a
line of telegraph across the Atlantic within t hree
years, by way of Labrador, Greenland, Iceland,
and the Faroe Islands, whence it is proposed that
two lines shall diverge, one eastwardly to Norway,
and the other southwardly to Scotland. This
route baa tbs advantage of furishing four land
stations, uo two of which are more than five hun
dred miles apart-
A Revolution in Telegraphing. new instru

is di. similar to that of all other telegraphs. It
prints all messages iu plain Roman capitals with
unerring correctness, and with almost incredible
rapidity, averaging from 20,000 to 25,000 letters
an hour; messages can be sent in opposite direc
tions over the same wire at the same instant with
regularity and certainty. It wiil also work accur

i Rail Roads in Texas. —The people of Texas
seem at leDgth to have entered upon a system of
Railroad improvements. No less than six distinct
railroads are now being- prosecuted with energy
within this State. Three of these connect the ci
ty of Houston with different parts of the interior.
By these a fresh impetus Las beeu given to the
trf.de of Houston—-under which the city L rapid

Productions of the Sandichiek Islands. —A
friend banded to us a few days ago some specimens
of coffee and sugar, from th© Sandwich Island©,
the latter being raised on the plantation of a Bos
tonian, who is a high officer of the Islands. The
sugar is of excellent grain and superior strength,
and it is well to have the production of this great
necessity extended, as its price has risen alarming
ly within a year or two. The coffee is of excel
lent and delicate flavor, and it is to be hoped that
the Sandwich Island Yankees will not only be
able to supply their own people, but, to supply
California with the valuable products of their soil.

Changes in the Episcojsxl Church.— -Some
among the Episcopalians are making a movement
m behalf of some changes in ?he church liturgy.
At the last general convention of their Church, a
memorial, signed Ly a considerable number of the
most prominent presbyters and laymen of the de
nomination, was presented to the House of Bish
ops, setting forth, in strong terms, the want of
adaptation in the Episcopal Church system to the
present condition of society, especially among the
masses, and earnestly advocating the necessity of
some modification of it Among other changes
urged, i.s the practice of extemporaneous prayer,
instead of being exclusively confined to the writ
ten form as now prc**ribo<i in the standard litur
gy of the Church.

Singular Cause of Death.- A colored woman
f'died a few days since at Richmond. Virginia, when
a post mortem examination was held, and a pin
was found embedded iu the Ipng, where-, from its
appearance, it must have been a good hil.—-
; Doubtless, the careless practice, common among
| fetuaies, of holding pins in the mouth, has caused

Another Good Crop. —The New York Times
i says :
. “We are*CHlied upon rather to rejoice and make
- glad over another great crop, one blessing follow
| ng the other in suck rapid and certain succession
j to obliterate all recollections of the sufferings
1 of the past, in the renewed assvmuioe of abundance
: in the future. The heart# of the people are thus
1 made equally thankful to a benign Providence for
j th harvest of 18S§,‘which at once relieved the
I necessities of the poor while it rewarded the toil
j and anxieties >.f the husbandman, and that of 1856,
• which now renews and continues to all classes the
manifold c- ’ profits, and luxuries of that
richest of ail national boons to an agricultural
couti try —a good crop.
“We shall not stop to demonstrate tha: the
harvest- of wheat has proved, or is proving, a great
One. There can now. wo imagine, be little doubt
of this, as applying to almost every part of the
ft is eq*atTy certain that, In prospect of
the competition in our markets from this heAvv
yield, the movement oflast year’s grain and flour
from the South and West has been quickened of
late, and that our export trade is sensibly realiz
ing the advantage of this movement, at a season
when, last year; it had no supplies to work upon.
Nor is it less certain that the growing corn crop,
ir: consequence of the recent seasonable rains, will
prove an abundant one, while the cotton-planters
of the South, who have but just realized from
Europe over a hundred and twenty millions of dol
lar? from their last crop, in addition to selling sev
en hundred thousand bales to our own Northern
manufacturers, have every reasonable prospect o?
another growth of three and a half millions of
bales of this staple.”

OBITUARY.
- -a.
‘Bust thou arL and tmw dust thou sbslt return.”
Departed this life, on Wedntlesday, 30ih of July, of con
vulsions, in Vienna, Dooly eo., Ga., Ida Coknelia, infant
daughter of Count P., and Martha A. Fleming, aged I year
7 monllis and 19 days. She survived but a sliort while after
she was attacked.
“Suffer iiitie children and forbid them not to come onto
me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” - May the rela
tives and friends of little Ida bow in meek subtnis.sion to the
will of our Heavenly Father, and be prepared to meet her
in that place of eternal rest. They know she cannot return
to tlicm, but may the Lord enable them so to live that they
niay go to her. Little Ida has left a devoted mother and’
father, affectionate brothers and sisters, and a large circle of
friends to mourn her loss, but they sorrow not as those who
have no hope, sot their loss is her eternal gain.
She was an interesting child of an amiable disposition.
She wore a bright and pleasant, countenance—but the ooun
lenancelhat was once so bright, lias become pale in death,
and that soft sweet voice is hushed in the cold embrace of
death. The Lord enable Us all to meet little Ida in Heaven.
“Sleep little baby, sleep,
Not in thy cradle bed,
Noton thy mother’s breast.
But with the quiet dead. D. 8. K.
Departed this life, on the 20th June in the 23th year of his
age at the residence of ids father, -Solomon Zellars, of Camp
bell co„ John Alexander Zellars, of consumption.
The deceased was long and painfully confined, hut bore
his affliction with great Christian fortitude, and it seemed
that death had little or fto terror to him. He had not attach
ed himself to the church, but his copvereaiion and walk in
life for eight or nine years fully corresponded with the pa
tience of his iast illness and expression of a weil-founded
hope in the Redeemer, so that his death is not as one wuh
cut hope. As an obedient son, affectionate brother, and
affable companion among his associates, his equal is seldom
seen. His death lias made a vacuum in this vicinity ion- to
be mourned. g_
Departed this life, on the 3J inet, near Searsville, Benja
min Langforu. in the fortieth year of his age, with thy
cramp colic. The deceased was an exemptrv member of
the Baptist church for fifteen years. The smfierings of this
beloved brother was beyond description for twenty-four
hours, when he brealhed his last. He has left many relatives
and iriends to ujotira thorr Ices. A FRIEND.
Departed thi* life, on the 3J day of August. 1955. Mrs.
Eliza W. Hemphill, consort of A. Hemphill, of Troup
county, Ga., in the IGih year of her age. The deceased had
been a member of die Baptist Church about 29 years, ami as
th? lived, she died in full hope of a blessed immortal? -
She has left a companion and three daughters, Itesides many
friends and relatives to mourn her loss. But we -iiooM not
sorrow as others which have a-> hope. For if we beli-Te
that Jesus died and rose again, even so theta aiso which steep
in Jesus will God hring with him.

Progress of Baptist Principles
IN THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS.
By T. F. Curtis, Professor of Theology in the Univer
sity of Lewisburg. Penn , author of •‘Communion.’’
fcte. 12 mo. cloth. Prico, 26.
A liberal discount will be made to parties buying
to sell again. Sent, postage paid, on receipt of reteu
price.
This work is divided into three books. Tha first
exhibits the progress of Baptist principles now con
ceded in theory by the most enlightened of other <fo.
nominations.
. second presents a view of the progress of prin
ciples still controverted.
The third sets forth the progress of principles al
ways held by Evangelical Chrstians, but more eoneist
ly by Baptiste.
It is a work that invites the candid consideration of
all denominations. In his preface, the author says:
“if in a single line of the following page 9 there
should appear to the reader the slightest unkind al
lusion to any other denomination or individual, the
writer would at-onee say that nothing has been’
ther from his intentions or his feelings. * * * *
Hißftim has been to draw a wide distinction between
parties and opinions. Hence the object ot this vol
ume is not to exhibit or defend the Baptists, but their
principles.
NOTICES.
’The work exhibits ample learning, vigorous argu
mentative power, and an excellent spirit towards tu.
persons whose views it controverts. Apart from its
theological bearings, it possesses not a little historian!
interest.”—A T . Y. Tribune.
“It abounds with facts illustrating the progress ©1
Baptist principles in the last hundred years—foots
which will be read with astonishment by many who
have not thought much oa the subject.” —Christian
Index.
“It is a work that will undoubtedly excite ©onsiiL
erable attention among all denominations. Whatev
er those of a different faith may think of
views, they will admire the candor nnd coafflßy with
which he ha3 conducted the discussion. —Boston Trav
eller.
“We know of no man in our churches better fitted
to present a fair exposition of ‘Baptist Principles’
He 10 no eontroversalist, and his discussions are ia
most refreshing contrast with many, both of Baptist
defenders and their opponents."—No. Baptist.
“The aim of the work is important, the plan inger
nion?, yet simple and natural, the author’s preparation
for it apparently thorough and conscientious, aad fcia
spirit excellent. 5 Watchman <t■ Reflector.

This Book has been called for by the action of the
most of the Baptist Associations in Alabama, and also
the several Conferences of the Methodist Church, on
the part of Mr. Hamill, have authorized its publica
tion. The discussion is conducted with remarkable
ability, and it mainly concerns the question whether
Methodist Episcopacy in this country, as a church
system, is Anti-Republican. No discussion since the
debate of Drs. Wayland and Fnller’on Slavery, Km
presented su-h a well tempered, and manly exhibition
of Christian Polemic*. SMITH tfe WHILDEN,
