GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVENTION.

On November 19th, at Bethel church, Mer
riwether county ; on Friday, at Friendship;
Saturday and Sunday, at Antioch ; Monday,
at Madison ; Tuesday, Valley Grove, Talbot
county ; Wednesday, at Shiloh, Harris coun
ty ; Thursday, at Cuthbert; Saturday at
Beach Spring ; Sunday at Union; Monday,

churches are requested to make the above
appointments as public as possible.
The 7oung Men’s Christian Associ
ation.
This Association has made arrangements to
to have a course of Literary Lectures de
livered in this city during the present winter.
The object is to elevate the taste and im
prove the morals of our people generally, and
especially of our young men. Distinguished
gentlemen in different parts of the State have
been invited to Lecture. It is hoped that
our citizens will appreciate this worthy effort
for their pleasure and improvement. Let the
lectures from the opening to the close be ful
ly attended by the taste and learning of the
city, and especially let the ladies see to it
that the speakers are encouraged.
Prof. H. H. Tucker, of Mercer University,
has consented to deliver one of the series on
the third Tuesday night in December next.
The opening will be made this
evening, (Tuesday,) in the Baptist church, at
7 o’clock, by Hon. Eugenius A. Nisbet.
It will be seen from the obituary in
this paper, that death has removed the son
of Dr. J. S. Baker, former Editor of the In
dex.
We offer brother Baker our sympathies
and condolence in this hour of sorrow. May
God ever afford him that grace and those con
solations which shall sustain until the period
of his own dismissal from earth to heaven.
A brother writes us, “ I want you to
state in our paper what kind of money will
pass, as I can’t refuse to pay for such a wel
come messenger, -which brings glad tidings of
great joy to me every Saturday.’’
We thank our brother for his kind words,
and say, that any Georgia or South Carolina
bills which were good before the bank suspen
sion, are taken nowj in payment for the In
dex.
Mercer University.
The number of students admitted this term
is larger than ever before except once, and
that was several years ago. Thirteen of the
students and a number of other persons in
Penfield have recently been added to the
church by Jjaptism. Avery general interest
is felt on the subject of religion, and we learn
from a private source that students were
never more orderly and diligent.
Sander’s Professorship.
The prudential committee of the Board of
Trustees of Mercer University, take great
pleasure in making it known that they have
engaged the services of brother JohnE. Daw
son as agent for the Sander’s Professorship.
Owing to the financial embarrassments of the
country, the committee have thought it best
to wait a few months before sending brother
Dawson into the field.
Oct. 31, 1857.
For the Index.
Brother Walker : —Will you or some other
brother, for my satifaction and that of others,
answer the following questions through the
Index?
If a Missionary Baptist church was to be
come dissatisfied with any article of the con
stitution of the Association to which she be
longed, and request the Association to change
said article, saying that if it should not be al
tered, she would withdraw from the body ;
would such a church be doing right, unless
she had previously applied for a letter of dis
mission, and been denied one ? And farther,
could another Association lawfully receive a
church that had left an Association under
such circumstances ?
H. PADGETT.
Perhaps some brother who is acquainted
with the circumstances to which our brother
Padgett alludes, will answer the above ques
tions. There is a right or wrong way to do
everything, and it is not difficult to find the
direction of the right way when we patiently
seek for it. We could answer the queries,
but as there may be peculiar tacts and circum
stances connected with them, we hesitate for
want of light. An editor sometimes falls in
to hot water before he intends to, and though
we ai e not afraid of water, we prefer a medi
um temperature.
Missionary Wanted.
The Washington Association at its late ses
sion adopted the following resolution :
Resolved , That a committee of five be
appointed, who shall have power to select
a Missionary for Central Africa, and recom
mend him to the Board at Richmond.
The committee of five appointed under
the third resolution think that there will be
no difficnlty in raising the sum proposed, pro
vided a suitable man can be obtained as Mis
sionary. We wish to hear immediately from
such brethren as feel it to be their duty to
carry the bread of life to the perishing mil
lions of Africa, that a selection may be made
and that the brother selected may visit all
the churches of our Association before he
leaves his native land.
Please address me at Penfield, Ga,

EDITORIAL SUMMARY.
The Texas Baptist , of Oct. 7th, reports a
number of baptisms at Gilmer, and several at
Waco.
r* .
When we noticed the fact, a few weeks
since, that the town of Charlottesville, Va.,
was lighted with gas, we of course concluded
that the streets were supplied with gas light;
but we learn from the Jeffersonian that such
is not the case. A correspondent suggests
several corners as suitable places for lamps,
among them corners in the direction of the
Methodist and Episcopal churches. In our
opinion the most important corner for such a
light, is the corner of the new Baptist church,
that physical hght and divine light may
blend in beautiful effulgence.
The Baptist Watchman has an interesting
editorial on the recent meeting of the Gen
eral Association of East Tennessee. About
S3OOO were pledged to liquidate the debts of
the Mossy Creek and Jonesboro schools.—
“ Ways and means” were also devised to fill
the Domestic Mission treasury.
The Tennessee Baptist has finally “suspend
ed”—the publication of long and badly writ
ten articles, we mean. We have been at this
business nearly all of the passing year. If the
press generally would but adopt this plan,
both thinking and writing would be improved
by it.
We wish once more to inform our con
tributors, that articles sent without the per
son’s full name cannot be admitted. It is
much easier for the writer to give his name—
even if he wishes to appear over a fictitious
signature, than it is for us to guess out ini
tals, or judge by the hand writing who it is.
While we are glad to receive brief and
well written articles from all of our patrons,
we wish it distinctly understood, that we feel
under no obligations to publish for those who
do not take the paper, though we sometimes
do it. Almost every Baptist in the State has
use for the Index in the course of the year :
why not subscribe for it then ?
Brother R. M. Stell, ol La., is informed
that we have not the means of giving him
the information he seeks in relation to Tern
perance papers.
Mr. W. T. 11. Scott, a graduate of Mer
cer University in the class of 1856, Principal
of the Greensboro Academy, has been elec
ted to the Professorship of Mathematics and
Experimental Philosophy in the Mount Leba
non College, La. We feel sure of his success
in teaching these branches from his past pop
ularity as an instructor, and the Mercer has
the honor of seeing another of her stars ra
diating its light from a flourishing Institution
of learning.
TnE degree of N. G., (no gentlemen) has
recently been conferred on the Rev. B. Will
iams, of London, by the editor of the Illinois
Baptist. We hope that our worthy confere
will lose no time in sending on the diploma.
ISP’ Hands off, gentleman, unless you
know what you are doing. The following
from the Examiner indicates work for the fi
nal committee of the Bible Union. Dr. Crow
ell’s revision may need revising:
Christian Review.
The October number of the Christian Re
uiew has come to hand. We have time to
make only one remark, viz : that the criticism
in the first article is founded on a singular
grammatical error. The writer, strangely
enough, confonnds the simple Future and the
Future with Vav conversive ,’ to prove that the
former is used “ with the significance of past
time,” he cites (p. 497, at the top,) Gen. 1 :
4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25 ; 3: 6 ; 29 : 2 ; 31 : 2 ;
but in all these passages, the form of the verb
is the converse Future , ( the Future with Vav
conversive ) the usual historic tense in He
brew. f
We are truly gratified that Georgia and
Alabama are so well supplied with Female
schools. We extract the following from the
Auburn, (Ala.) Gazette :
The Schools in La Grange.
There has never been so fine a prospect of
thoroughly educating young ladies in La
Grange, Ga., as now. We are not so well in
formed as to the Methodist school under the
charge of Prof. Connor ; but in reference to
the College, presided over by Profs. John A.
Foster and Henry E. Brooks, we speak know
ingly when we assert, it has no superior in the
South. Its discipline is perfect—its standard
of scholarship high—its system inductive and
thorough, and in all that relates to education,
this Institution of learning is par negoliis, ne
que supra —neither above nor below its busi
ness. It fills the standard of duty and expec
tation, and works out its own fame by practi
cal demonstration. There are now in school
near one hundred young ladies in the college
department, besides the primaries. They
come from nearly all the Southern States and
represent mostly the intellectual and wealthy
classes.
One item in this College of importance to
parents is the strict watch kept over the ex
penditures of the young ladies. They are
not allowed to contract any debts, nor to
make any purchase unless in the presence of
their governess. This is a valuable regula
tion, these “ hard times.” We know where
of we affirm. In a few words : If we had a
girl to educate and had to send her from
home, we had rather have her in the South
ern Female College, at La Grange, than in
any other institution of learning in the whole
limits of the South.
Men are frequently real
strength and goodness are not properly drawn
out until they have been a short time in hot
water.

ASSOCIATIONAL.
Coosa Association —Hearn School.
Bro. Walker —I had the pleasure of attend
ing the late session of the Coosa Association,
held at Shilo Church, Walker county, em
bracing the Second Sabbath of this month.—
Bro. E. Dyer was re-elected Moderator. He
has served the body in this capacity for the
last 18 or 20 years. This is a rare instance of
appreciated worth and unbroken attachment.
Such are worthy of note. The session was a
harmonious one and promised usefulness. A
permanent mission was established among the
Cherokees, and Bro. David S. Fareman, a na
tive Indian, adopted as a missionary to labor in
that field, to be supported by the Association.
Resolutions urging the duty of Family Pray
er, and the necessity of greater effort in Sab
bath School instruction were passed.
On Sabbath an able discourse was deliver
ed by Prof. Rambaut, ofCassville, on the dis
tinction principles of Baptists, as a denomi
nation. In the afternoon Bro. J. M. Wood,
of Cedar Town, preached a touching discourse
which melted the hearts of many of his hear
ers. A large and attentive audience will long
remember these efforts.
A good portion of Monday was occupied
in urging the claims of Cassville College,
Woodland Female College at Cedar Town
and Hearn School at Cave. Spring. Resolu
tions recommending these Institutions were
passed. The following are those in relation
to Hearn School:
Ist. The Hearn School at Cave Spring has
been founded in Baptist liberality and cared
for by Baptists around it at great personal
sacrifice and toil.
2d. “It is easy in its monetary affairs, and
affords to pupils, ample facilities for an edu
cation, especially in a thorough preparatory
course before entering College.’’
3d. “It will be presided over the ensuing
year by Brother A. J. King, A. M., who is
well known to our people. The Institution
merits and should share liberally the patron
age of our brethren.”
Something over SSOO was sent up for be
nevolent purposes.
Truly, yours,
CHEROKEE.
Ebenezer Association.
Bro. Walker —Another anniversary of the
Ebenezer Association has past. This body
convened with the church at Antioch, Twiggs
county, at its regular time of meeting, Sat
urday, in connexion with 3d Lord’s day inst..
was organised by re-electing Rev. Henry
Bunn Moderator, Rev. W. D. Horne, Clerk.
Quite a full representation from each and all
the churches composing this body. Many of
their letters breathed forth the cheering intel
ligence of the mighty working spirit, and
many have been added during the past As
sociational year. The usual invitation having
courteously been extended to visiting Minis
ters and members. We were glad to find
amongst us as such our good and faithful old
worthies at their post, who cordially accepted
the invitation, and seated with us, and joined
us in our deliberations, to-wit: Rev. J. 11.
Campbell, Rev. Fuller and Scriven, who we
are glad to announce addressed the meeting
on the subject of their important missions
with the zeal and Christian deportment, may
their labor not be in vain ; beside their own
good and long cherished old Bro. and (once
our neighbor) Rev. Hiram Powel and young
Bro. Rev. Warren, who by the by is no small
man in his vocation, likewise accepted the in
vitation, and aided us with their ministerial
labor with the zeal and marked ability, which
labor we trust, will be sanctified to our friends
who happily heard them. We were made
glad to see a growing desire manifest in the
convertion of our Red men, are may be seen
in the committees’ reports which will appear
in our minutes, our Missionaries hands will be
supplied, whose labor to the Indian tribe has
already given sufficient evidence of God’s
sanction to the Holy work; besides other
fields of foreign labor, it will be seen that we
are not forgetful of our destitution within our
own bounds—but have, and support a Domes
tic Missionary whose report tells favorable for
this cause also—we are glad to add that not
withstanding the panic which grew up
amongst some few churches, some year or two
past in regard to the organization of anew
Association, to be designated: “ The South
ern Association,” which embraces a large por
tion of our original field of labor. Some of
those churches which had withdrawn from us
to organize as above alluded to have met us
and returned their letters who are new mem
bers with us, together with one or more new
ly constituted churches. Upon the whole,
our meeting was one of harmony and usual
interest—largely attended, with good order.
And let it be said to the credit of the church
at Antioch with which this body have assem
bled, and the vicinity round and near it, that
we have not seen within the scope of our con
nexion with the Baptist churches, a more am
ple and plenteous provision on any occasion
of like character; nor have we visited any
settlement or church people more mag
nanimous. May God abundantly reward them
for all favors so kindly shown.

DIED.
The uncertainty of all human calculations has been
very strikingly illustrated in the death of WM. BER
NARDO BAKER, son of Elder Joseph S. Baker. His
father had just started him in the mercantile business
in Jacksonville, Fla. He opened his store on the Ist
inst., received his principal supply of goods on the 14th,
opened them on the 15th, was taken sick on the 16th,
and died calm and resigned on the 19th, expressing a
cheering hope of meeting in heaven his departed moth
er and sister and brother. He had been five years a
member of the*Baptist church, and would have attained
to the age of 21 had he lived but one month more.
Died, on the 12th inst., at 9 P. M., at his residence
near Brooksville, in Randolph county, Rev. B. F.
CLEVELAND. He was born 26 Nov. 1810—professed
the religion of Jesus Christ in 1838, commenced preach
ing the Gospel in 1839.
He died happy, in full hope of a glorious immortality
where sickness and sorrow never come. May He who
ever worketh all things together for good to those that
love the Lord, sustain by his divine grace and power
the bereaved partner and children oi him of whom it
may be truly said, none knew him but to love ; none
named him but to praise.
And although his sun at noon has set, its light shall
linger around us yet—Bright, glorious, blessed.
J. E. B.
Nochway, Oct. 23, 1857.
Died, at the residence of her son-in-law, Col. D. W.
Morgan, near LaGrange, Ga., on the Bth inst., in the
54 th year of her age, Mrs CAROLINE MATILDA BAT
TLE, daughter of Sampson Duggar, Esq., and widow
of the late Dr. Andrew Battle.
In the death of this truly estimable lady, it may well
be said that the community of which she was was a cit
izen has sustained a loss of no ordinary character. Ear
ly impressed with the truths of Christianity, she sought
and obtained comfort in the religion of Jesus. A com
municant of the Baptist church for a number of years,
she lived up to its requirements in all things, and re
joiced in the doctrines of piety and true holiness incul
cated by her ministry. She was in truth a Christian.
“ She did justice, loved mercy,'and walked humbly be
fore God.” Asa daughter she was lovely and obedi
ent ; as a wife, she was affectionate and devoted. To
her children she was a mother of priceless value. In
her early years she taught them lessons of virtue and
knowledge, and inculcated by precepts and example
the sublime truths of the religion she possessed. To
her servants she was humane and indulgent; and they
will long remember with gratitude and affections the
tenderness and kindness of their mistress. Asa friend,
jjhe was sincere and confiding. Objects of poverty and
affliction were subjects of her tenderest care and sym
pathy. The brows of mercy wrung with pain and an
guish have been soothed by the touch of her hand of
benevolence, and many hearts laden with poverty and
destitution have been made to rejoice with the munifi
cence of her charity. Her hands were ever open to
their wants and necessities, and her breast sympathized
with them in wretchedness and want. But
“ Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.”
