EDITORIAL SUMMARY.
A. G. Buckiiam. We have your com
munication giving us some account of an
old volume of the Index —the one for 18-
36. The enumeration of articles shows
that then, as now, many good tilings ap
peared in the paper during the year. We
have old files, and therefore do not need
yours. Thank you for the offer.
“Virginia Baptist.” This is anew de
nominational paper, published at Freder
icksburg, Va., with the motto —“ Let jus
tice be done though the heavens fall to
the law and to the testimony.” We sup
posed the Herald sufficient for Virginia
Baptists, but if not, then let them have
the Baptist. We place the new aspirant
for public favor upon our exchange list.
The word Carriages, our readers will
find explained on the fourth page. The
Bible Union in its new version of Acts has,
“ we packed tip our baggage which is Dr.
Ilackett’s rendering also. Doddridge, in
his new version has it—“ making up our
baggage?’ The word so apprehended,
becomes plain.
The brethren at Millwood are inform
ed that such a situation would not suit—
“ Teacher.”
Buo. John Goodman will receive our
thanks for eight new subscribers, anil the
money. May he and others continue to
favor us that way. It would be very easy
if brethren will only try. Brethren, re
member that the Associations are coming
on, and that a short speech made, a few
words spoken, or a few efforts exerted in
favor of “oar paper will carry its list up
to 6000. This you all desire —endeavor
then to accomplish it. How many more
are willing to be the good-man to whom
we can say, “well done /” We want to
enlarge the Index, and thus increase its
usefulness, and also give in one thousand
dollars, for Missionary purposes, at the
next Convention. But this can done
in one way only—by each subscriber help
ing to increase the circulation of the pa
per.
X. B.—The two papers have beer, sent
according to tlie wishes of brother J. G.
Attention Floridians! Thinking our
last issue would be interesting to them,
we have mailed copies to several brethren.
Can we not have the pleasure of retain
ing them, as pre paying subscribers, and
of obtaining their assistance in increasing
our circulation in the land of balmy bree
zes, blue skies and bright flowers ?

NEAYS SUMMARY.
Three Days Later from Europe.
ARRIVAL OF THE INDIAN.
COTTON DRCLINEO.
Quebec, July 24.—The steamship Indian has ar
rived to-day with Liverpool dates to the 13th inst.
Commercial.
Cotton sales for three days 15,000 bales, specula
tors taking 1000 bales, and exporters 1000. Declined
I principally upon the lower grades. Market closing
dull. Breudstuffs dull, Consols 05J. Naval stores
‘steady.
Manchester news was unfavaorable, with but little
inquiry and prices weak. Money market was un
changed.
New* in General.
The Mahomedans rose on the Christians in Jeddah ;
and massacred upwards of twenty persons including j
the English and French Consuls. Three British men
of war were ordered there.
The Vanderbilt reached Liverpool on the loth and
the Europe on the loth inst.
ike latest India and China news unimportant.
Roingto America.—The Globe
says: “The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon preached in the open i
air at Sarum last week, and stated that lie would no j
longer preach in the Music Hall or the Surrey Gard
ens. The reverend gentleman also stated that if he
failed in getting funds for Ills new tabernacle it was
probable that he wouldleave this country for Ameri
ca or Australia.!’
ItSi’rdcr in Savannah.—Early on Friday morn
ing, the store of J. D. Sehwicke was found open—
the store robbed and the lifeless body of the pro- I
prietor on the floor, his head beaten to a jelly. The
crime was subsequently traced and charged by a
jury of inquest to Willis, a negro, the property of j
Wm. B. Giles.
The Worcester (Md.,) Shield says: A correspon- j
dent at Newtown writes as follows : We have liv- I
ing in this place a negro woman, aged about 50 years, !
named Hannah Smith, who presents the rare phe- ;
| nomcnon of a negro turning white. This change has !
been produced by the absorption of the pigmentum j
nigram, or coloring matter of the skin. Her body, ‘
arms, legs, and breast are entirely white, with the !
exception of some spots, varying in size from a dime I
to a half dime, dispersed over her body and limbs. J
1 < nt<r from ihe Cable Fleet. —The Niagara ;
bad arrived at Queenstown on the sth inst. The ca
ble bad parted on board of the Agamemnon on the
29th ult. Alter one hundred and forty two miles had 1
been laid. After the communication ceased, the Ni
agara was allowed to swing to the cable and an ad
ditional strain of four tons was applied to the brakes,
and although blowing fresh the cable held for an hour
when a sudden pitch broke it and the Niagara pro
ceeded to Queenstown. If nothing is heard from the 1
Agamemnon after coaling, the Niagara will proceed
to Mid Ocean still having thirteen hundred miles of I
the cable on board. It is conjectured that the Aga
memnon will await the arrival of the Niagara.
ISail Ten Inches Long.— A correspondent of
an exchange, writing from Coleburg, lowa, says :
On Sunday afternoon, the 23d ult., we were visit
ed by an extraordinary hailstorm. It seemod to
originate in a southwesterly direction, and its course
was through this place towards the northwest. It
extended over a space five miles in breadth, and in
all probability was of considerable length. Many of
the hail stones were prodigious in their dimensions, j
and I thought likely unprecedented in size. Some !
were ten inches in circumference, while others were !
greater in length, being from seven to ten inches ;
long. Many of them upon examination, exhibited
mast and various kinds of grass seeds, which were re
ceived into the formation of the frozen rain, and thus :
were borne through the upper elements to an un
known distance. The effects produced by this sud- j
den and almost unparalleled shower of hail were ter
rifle.
Destructive Fire at Heaven worth City, j
Kansas, — Leavenworth, K.T., July 16., viaßoon
ville, July 17. —A fire broke out here about midnight
on the 13th inst., which at one time threatened the
destruction of the denser portion of the city. It ori
ginated in the green room of the Union theatre, cor.
ner of Third and Delaware streets, and rapidly coin
i municated to the adjoining buildings. Thirty build
j ings, principally included in the block bounded by
1 Cherokee, Shawnee, Second and Third streets, were
reduced to ashes. The loss is under estimated at
i SIOO,OOO, on which there is a trifling insurance.
Arrival of the North Star.
New York July 20.—North Star arrived.—Sales
for three days 32,900 bales. Market advanced Jc.
Speculators took 4,f 00 hales. Middling and Fair
: qualities improved most. Market closed firm.
: Consols 85J to 95§
; Manchester advices were favorable, holders were
I demanding an advance.
The weather continued favorablefor crops—Flour
firm, advanced from 6d to Is. Wheat firm and ad
vanced Is. Corn firm, white advanced from 6d. to
Is. Yellow quoted nominal. Rosin firm, advanced
I from 2d. to 3d.—Turpentine dull. Rice firm.
Some Circulars say the advance was subsequently
’ lost. Market closing firm.
News in General,
j Gold was arriving from Zeland.
It is said that the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, the great
London preacher, is coming to America.
A foreign naval expedition had been organized
to seize the shipping at Peiho destined to supply
1 Pekin.
New Paper in Atlanta.—Messrs. Horton, Pil
grim & Cos., of Atlanta, Ga., propose to publish anew
paper in that city, to be called the “Atlanta Daily
’ and Weekly Citizen,” provided a sufficient number
of subscribers canbe secured to justify the undertak
ing. Terms of Daily 4.00 per annum, Weekly $1.50.
The paper will be “independent in all thing -sneutral
in nothing.
An Interesting’ Discovery.
We see it stated, upon what may be consid
ered reliable authority, that thirty thousand
Christians have found upon an island north of
Celebas. It was rumored for a time there
was there a Christian people forgotten and for
saken, which, however, yet possessed three Bi
bles,and continued steadfastinthefaith. When
missionaries first landed on the island, they
met with a school teacher and his pupils, who
repeat“A> the Malayan tnirguv— --AwTrre'TratT’
panteth after the waterbrooks, so panteth my
soul after Thee, O Lord.” No Bibles were
found, hut the most precious promises of the
Bible written upon the bark of trees. They
knew the Apostile’s Creed, and the lleidetberg
Catechism, and the Christian customs. Twen
ty churches and schools yet existed. Through
the instrumentality of pastor Ileldring, founder
of the Magdalen Asylum at Steenbeck, and
chief patron of Inner Missions in Holland, four
missionaries, who had been educated under
the venerable Gossner, were sent out, and three
persons baptised.
This is certainly a most interesting discove
ry. The island on which these Christians were
found belongs to the East Indian Archipelago.
The Dutch have for years political rule in this
region. This may aceount for the original in
troduction of Christianity amongst this people,
and for the fact that the Heidelberg Catechism
was still found in their possession. . But still
the particular time and circumstances in which
this introduction took place may well challenge
special attention, and elicit investigation from
those who have the leisure and facilities for
prosecuting it. —German Reform Messenger.

At a called confncs of the Double Branch
I church, Lincoln co. the following preamble
1 and resolutions this the 6th of June,
> 1808. m
Whereas, It has pWsed the All-wise Disposer of
; all human events to remove from our midst our
dear brother RANDOLPH DAVIE, who departed
this life on the 4th of June, in the 71st year of
his age : and whereas, bro. Davie lias been a mem
ber of the church upwards of thirty-five years, and
has acted in the office of deacon for thirty years,
and has been one of our best citizens; therefore
Revolved, 1. That in the death of bro. Davie
our church has been bereaved of one of her most
faithful, pious and devoted members, the commu
nity of one of its best citizens, his wife of an af
fectionate husband, his children of a devoted fa
ther, and his servants of an indulgent master.
Resolved, 2, That while we as a church deeply
deplore our loss, we would meekly bow with hum
ble submission to the all-wise providence of our
Heavenly Father.
Resolved 3d, That we as a church deeply sym
pathize with sister Davie and her family in their
sad bereavement.
Resolved, 4th, That this preamble and resolu
ilrtna W ouv vlku.*?oL bool', that rt.pApy
be presented to the bereaved family, and also one
sent to the Christian Index for publication.

MARRIED.
On the evening of the 15th of July, by Rev. I.
H. Goss, Mr. R. W. OGLESBY to Miss S. J. AD
AMS, all of Elbert co., Ga.
DIEID.
Departed this life on the 7tli of June, 1858, aged
2 years, 4 months and eighteen days, MARGARET
EMILY, only daughter of B. H. and S. E. Brown,
of Dawson, Terrell co., Ga.
It is the part of humanity to recoil at the ap
proach of the Grim Monster commissioned to sever
the immortal spirit from its frail companion, tlie
body, and introduce it to the realities of an un
tried eternity. Even when Death approaches in
his mildest form, there is something awfully sol
emn in his aspect. But when he ruthlessly tears
the young, the loved, the beautiful away from the
fond embraces of doting parents -hides forever
the rosy cheek, the efierry lip, the sparkling eye,
the graceful form, in tije silence and solitude of the
grave—there is sometiiing doubly solemn in it.
Little Emily W'as an exceedingly lovely child.—
Beauty—enthroned upon her brow—displayed it
self in every feature, and her animated mien and
amiable temper spread the light of joy and cheer
fulness wherever she went. But, sweet child, she
is gone—gone forever. Transplanted to a more
congenial soil, it is hoped that this tender flower
will bloom forever in the Paradise of God.
Amicus.
In Lexington, Oglethorpe eo., Ga., on the 18tli
inst., aged 7 months and 17 days, ELLA, infant
daughter of T. B. and P. A. Moss.
Little Ella was indeed a most lovely babe—beau
tiful, and remarkably sprightly for one of her age.
She was too lovely for earth. That fair bud lias
been transplanted to a purer soil and balmier at
mosphere, to expand and spread its fragrance be
fore her Saviour. May these deeply-distressed pa
rents find, in this overwhelming blow, “that smit
ten friends are angels sent on errands full of love.”
“Full oft we see the.brightest thing
That lifts its head on high,
Smile in the light, then droop its wing,
And fade away, and die.
And kind is the lesson given,
Then dry the falling tear;
They came to raise our hearts to Heaven,
They go to call us there.”
Cora.
In Richmond co., Ga., on tlie 13th inst., our ven
erable brother, WM# BRYANT, in the 82d year of
his age.
He joined the church at Silver Run in the year
1804, where he remained a consistent member and
deacon of said church until about 1843, when he,
with several others, took letters to constitute a
church at Mount Pleasant, where he remained a
consistent member until his Heavenly Father was
pleused to call him to his church triumphant in
Heaven. It is said, that in all his long life of Chris
tian trials, not a charge has ever been brought
against him. For more than 20 years lie had suf
fered much with tlie palsy, and for the last 4 or 5
years he was entirely incapacitated (o discharge
the duties of deacon.
He died in the full triumphs of tlie faith of that
Gospel he so long loved and lived for, and altlio’
rendered speechless, yet his senses never left him.
lie leaves 4 children (having survived 5) and a
number of grandchildren and great grandchildren
to mourn their loss; but they mourn not as those
who have uo hope. God grant that they may meet
him in Heaven. A Friend.

NOW COMPLETE
COMMENTARIES ON
THE NEW TESTAMENT
By Prof. Hermann Olshausen, D. TANARUS) ,
Late Professor of Theology in the University at
Erlangen.
First American Edition, revised after the Fourth
German Edition.
By A. C. Kendrick,'D. D., Professor of Greek
in the University of Rochester.
Six volumes, octavo. Price, in cloth, §l2; Li
brary Sheep, $13,50 ; Half Calf, $lB.
The clergy, the professors in our theological
; seminaries, and the best biblical critics in our
country, have now rendered their verdict, and by
common consent, this commentary is pionounced
worthy of universal attention by students of the
Holy Scriptures. The religious press of all de
nominations, and of all schools in theology, bear
testimony to the learning, the ability, the ortho
doxy, and the eminent evangelical spirit that per
vades this great work.
The Publishers wish to bring these opinions and
the work itself before every clergyman and every
intelligent layman in this country, believing that
the cause of sound learning and of biblical truth
will be promoted by placing one or more copies of
this commentary in every parish in the United
States.
From the almost innumerable testimonials to its
value, the publishers respectfully request attention
to the following:
From Prof. T. J. Conant, I). D.
“ The work of Olshausen I regard as an admira
ble combination of theological and philological el
ements, in a commentary designed for general use
among Biblical students. Dr. Kendrick has done
a great work for Biblical students, in his judicious
and skilfull preparation of this American edition,
j I heartily commend the work to my former pu
j pils, and to all with whom my opinion may have
! weight, as the best New Testament Commentary.
“T. J. CONANT.”
! Front* Professor John J. Owen, puthor of a series
of Greek and Latin Text Books.
“ Messrs. Sheldon, Blakentan & Co.—Please ac
cept my thanks for the volumes of Olshausen,s
Commentary which you have thus far published.—
Not to speak of the beautiful dress in which you
are giving the Commentary to the American pub
lic, I regard it as constituting one of the most val-
uable aids oe the study of the Bible which can be
put into tht hands of the scholar. I cheerfully and
iully recommend it to every minister and theolog
ical student in the land. Prof. Kendrick’s Notes
are highly pertinent and useful, especially on those
points in which Olsliausen’s views differ somewhat
from those of the best English expositors. 1 wish
for the works an extensive circulation.
Yours truly, “JOHN J. OWENS.
The following are from many and lengthy noti
ces of the newspaper press:
From the Few York Examiner.
“Dr. Kendrick has compared the whole volume,
sentence by sentence, with the original, and in
many cases has evidently performed a labor equal
to that of making anew version. The character
and necessity of his work may be inferred from the
specimens whieh he has given in his preface. But
the amount and value of his labor can only be un
derstood by one who compares the American work
with the Edinburgh edition in detail. Not a page
of the work has been left unaltered. These altera
tions have added immensely to the simplicity aud
clearness of the work, and consequently to its val
ue lor the English reader. The adaptation of the
work to general use has been increased by givin o,
Gicek phrases in their English equivalents. We
feel justified in recommending it to all heads of
families and teachers of Bible Classes, who are de
sirous ol being introduced to the best results of
critical learning, when employed in the defence
and elucidation of divine truth. To clergymen
the work will he indispensable, and we hope that
the period for giving presents will find every pas
tor in our land with a copy of this volume, and a
standing order for the others, as they shall be pub
lished.”
From the Yen- York Evangelist.
“Asa whole, we need not say to scholars, but
may say, emphatically, to Bible readers generally,
that there is at present no complete exposition of
the New Testament more profound in learning,
more skilful in exegesis, or more useful in develo
ping the meaning of the Divine Word than this.’’
From the Yew York Observer.
“He is learned, earnest and evangelical, has
breadth and force of mind, with extraordinary
power of evolving the spirit of a passage, or the
course of thought or narrative in the sacred wri-
Lngs. One great excellence of 11(0 work on the
Gospel is, that it treats the narrative in harmony
comparing the statements of the writers of the
Gospels with each other; reconciling apparent dis
crepancies, and arranging the facts in such a man
ner as to reproduce the circumstances and condi
tions in which the precepts and doctrines of the
Saviour w ere uttered, and throw 7 a strong and
clear light upon their intent and meaning We
are happy to commend the work most heartily to
our readers as one of the most valuable exegetical
treatises accessible to the English reader.” °
From the X. Y. Independent.
“Asa critic, Olshausen surpasses most com
mentatois in penetrating to the inmost meaning of
the Scriptures, getting at the verv marrow of the
text. Every minister who lias not a copy of Ol
shausen, should mark this as the next work to be
added to his library. Liberal men should make
this prominent oil their list of donations to needy
ministers.” J
From the Hartford Calendar.
“Notwithstanding the strong language of ap
proval which we have applied to the preceding vol
umes, we are disposed to pronounco this (volume
5) the very best of them all. The Publishers may
be very glad to know that it is recommended at
the ‘Berkley Divinity School’ as! one of the best
commentaries to be had. Olshausen’s views of the
Gospel are much more satisfactory than those of
Neander, because while his spiritual views rre
equally vivid and profound, the Sacraments have
to him, as they had not to Neander, a deep reali
ty, an awful mysteriousness which was so striking
1} prominent in the early ages of the church, and
which were also conspicuous in the teaching of the
Reformers, but which, alas! has been quite too
much lost sight of by the popular theology of mod
ern days.
The Publishers deserve the thanks of the Chris
tian public for bringing out this work in such
beautiful style, and with a much better translation
than the one in Clark’s Foreign Library.”
Correspondent of Watchman <£- Reflector.
A\ hat an excellent and grateful service would
the members of the churches render by present
ing their pastors with a copy of this work.”
From the, Journal d’ Messenger.
“ AA r e have no hesitation in recommending it to
any intelligent minister or layman, as the best con
tinued Commentary on the New Testament now
found in our language.”
From the Lutheran Observer.
\\ bile wc could by no means endorse every
view set forth by the learned and pious writer, we
do not hesitate to say that we regard it as an in*
estimable work for the miLister aud for every stu
dent of the Bible, and we advise all our clerical
brethren who can afford it, to secure a copy. As
a critic, a scholar, and a profound student of the
inspired pages, Olshausen is far superior to most
of the German exegetical writers.”
From the Southern Baptist.
“These six volumes on the New Testament will
form a repository which every thorough and earn
est student of the New Testament should possess.
The price for the whole will be found very reason
able compared with similar works.”
