I have power to lay it doum and I have power to

f And not only was it necessary that he
should possess the right to lay his life down,
and to do so of his accord ; but he must have
the power, (to be an all-sufficient Atoner) to
take it hack —that is, raise himself from the
dead, “ for our justification.’’ If he is not
risen from the dead how can he prove that
satisfaction has been rendered, and claim the
reward of our salvation ?
Now, none but a divine being could fulfil
these conditions; hence the necessity of Christ
being divine.
And we perceive, also, how completely
they destroy the efficacy of the atonement,
who deny the dignity of Christ. They take
from him the grand, indispensable requisite
for working a satisfactory atonement. For if
he is not divine, he has no right to lay drncn
his life ; if he has no right to lay it down, he
has no power to take it again ; if he has no
power to take it again, “ then is not Christ
raised ; and if Christ be not raised our faith
- is vain—we'aro yet ill our sW>a.*

The Examiner, of New York, likes neith

A correspondent of the Religious Herald
has found Out that “ Co-operation without

that it has proved to be, in one instance at
least, a bitter pill in practice. “The practi
cal workings” have quite satisfied him.
The J unior Editor of the Religious Herald

Terrible Catastrophe at Sea!
LOSS OF THE CENTRAL AMERICA —400 TO 450
LIVES LOST!
Wc have to chronicle one of the most terri
ble disasters on record—the loss of the Cali
fornia steamer Central America, with all on
board, except 49 men and the women and
children. The following particulars were
written out at sea by a passenger who was
saved, and with four others, was transferred
from the Norwegian brig to (he bark Saxony,
and arrived in Ibis port this morning:
At sea, Sept. 12, 1857, on board bark Saxo
ny, from Boston, Capt. Smith, bound to
Savannah :
Editors Savannah Republican :
Gents: —Below please observe description
of the loss of the steamer as seen by me on
board.
We left Havana Tuesday, September Bth,
having had delightful weather and calm sea
from Aspinwall. In the afternoon of day of
sailing from Havana had a fresh breeze, and
on Wednesday morning blew very strong.—
The gale continued and at night was still in
creasing and rained in torrents, and on Thurs
day it blew a hurricane—sea very high con
tinued. Eriday, the storm raged with una
bating fury. At about 11 o’clock, A. M., it
was first known among the passengers that
the steamer had sprung aleak and was ma
king water fast. A fine was formed and men
went to work bailing from her engine room,
the fires having been already extinguished
by the water. We gained on it so much as
to be able to get up steam again, but 6he
held it but a few minutes and stopped then
forever. Bailing continued in all parts of
the ship and was kept up until she finally went
down. During Friday night the water gained
gradually, but all being in good spirits, work
ed to the best of their ability, feeling that
when morning came we might possibly speak
some vessel and then be saved. The fatal
Saturday came at last, but brought nothing
but increased fury. Still we worked on, and
about 2 o’clock P. M. the storm lulled a little,
and the clouds broke away; hope was renew
ed and all worked like giants.
At 4 P. M. we spied a sail and fired our
guns, and our flag was at half mast; it was
seen and the brig “Marine” of Boston bore
down upon us ; we then considered our safe
ty certain. She came near, and we spoke to
her and told our condition. She laid by at
about one mile distance, and we in tfho only
three boats saved placed all the women and
children, and they were safely put on board of
the brig. So far so good—but evening was
fast approaching, and we discovered another
sail who saw us and responded to our call
and came near us. Capt. Herndon told our
condition, and asked them to lay by us and
send a boat, as w r e had none left. She prom
ised to do so, but it was the last we saw of
her, except at a distance, which grew greater
every moment. At 7 o’clock we saw no pos
sibility of keeping her afloat much longer, al
though if we could do so until morning, all
would be saved. In a short time a heavy sea
for the first time, broke over her upper deck
and hope faded away. Life-preservers were
supplied to all, and we sent up two rockets.
A tremendous sea swept over us, and the
steamer in a moment went down, and I think
some 400 or 450 souls were launched upon
the ocean at the mercy of its waves (the
storm at this time had entirely subsided) we
we all kept near together, and went as the
waves took us. There was nothing or very
little said, except each one cheered his fel
low comrade on, and courage was kept up
for two or three hours, and I think for that
space of time none were drowned ; but those
who could not swim becameexhausted,and one
by one gradually passed int* Eternity. Hope
that boats would be sent to us from the two
vessels whom we had spoken soon fled from
us, and our trust was alone in Providence,
and what better trust could you or I ask for.
I saw my fellow comrades fast sinking and
at one o’clock that night I was nearly alone
upon the ocean some 200 miles from land. I
however heard shouts from all that could do
so, that were not faiy from me, but I could
not see them. Within an hour from this
time I saw a vessel I judged abont one mile
from me. Taking fresh courago I struck out
for the vessel and reached.it when nearly ex
hausted, but was drawn on board by ropes.—
It proved to btr a Norwegian bark from Ba
lize, Hondnras, bound for Falmouth, Eng
land. I found on board of her some three
of my comrades, and at 9 1-2 o’clock next
morning we had for forty-nine noble fellows
on board, and these are all I know of having
been saved. We stayed about the place un
til we thought that all alive had been recued,
and then we set sail. We found the bark
short of provisions and the crew living on
gruel—we had some tea and coffee to refresh
ourselves, and at noon on Sunday spoke this
American, bark bound for Savannah who sup
plied us with provisions and took five on
bord. Our names are :
B. H. Ridly, native of Maine.
Jabez Howes, resident of San Francisco.
Samuel W. Lock, of Maine.
Adolph Frederick, of San Francisco.
Henry H. Childs, of New York.
The Norwegian bark set sail for Charleston
with the balance of the forty-nine passengers,
the names, unfortunately, I cannot give you;
the few which can be recollected are :
Capt. Badger, of Baltimore.
Mr. Frazer, 2d Officer of the Central Amer
ican.
Mr. R. F. Brown, Saoramento, California.
“ Billy Birch, of the S. F. Minstrels.
“ A. J. Easton, San Francisco.

0n the 2d day of Sept. 1857, at the residence of
Mn. A. J. Howard, in Oglethorpe co., Ga., Mr. WIL
LIAM GLENN, Sr., in the 92 year of hia age. He had
been a resident of the same community 70 years; and
a member of the Baptist church at Millstone 48 years;
and a Deacon 37 years and 6 months; the last 8 months
of his life he removed to spend his remaining days with
hiidaughter and son-in-law, Bro. Howard, in the same
county ; and changed his church membership to Claud’s
Creek; passing through the membership of 48 .years
and 6 months free from any accusation whatever be
fore the church. In the death of Bro. Glenn, the Bap
tist church has lost an humble, pious and devoted chris
tiaa, whose example was worthy of imitation. Having
received the public confidence and trust of hi% fellow
citizens for a number of years. He was regarded by
his numerous acquaintances as in the language of the
Psalmist, 11 truly a good man.” He is gone to reap
the reward of a faithful Christian.
To share the joys of a heavenly world,
And sing the praises of our Lord.
Leaving many relatives and friends, but they sorrow
not as those who have no hope. A FRIEND.
Departed this life at her residence in Randolph coun
ty, Ga., on the 30th of August, Mrs. MAR Y WALKER,
formerly of Columbia county, in the 61st year of her
age, after a painful illness of four weeks, which she en
dured “with Christian fortitude. She attached herself
to the Baptist church in the year 1839, and continued
an humble and consistent Christian to her death. She
was beloved and highly respected by all who knew her.
In her death the church lias lost an active and devoted
member, her children a kind and affectionate mother,
and the community a true and faithful neighbor. She
died willingly in the triumphs of faith in the blessed
Savior. She said the only thought that disturbed her
peace, was her leaving an absent daughter in the world,
who professed to have no hope in Christ, and she fear
ed she would never meet her in Heaven. Her triumph
ant dtath says to her children, “Weep not for me but
for yourselves and your children.” T. M.

Also, Aug. 17, 1857, JOSHUA TANARUS., eldest son of John
HI and Sarah J. Callaway, after an illness of twelve
aged 14 years and 10 months. His mind had
alfays been of a serious and thoughtful turn, and
though he had never joined the church on account of
his youth, ho had experienced a change of heart, which
exiorted the exclamation on his dying bed, “that he
would not give his hope of Heaven for all the world’s
ritfaes,” aud’whilc clasping the necks of his parents, he
payed that their faith might not fail them, and thus
enured. Thus he passed to the land where flowers
