EDITORIAL SUMMARY.
Oar friend, “Obsekvec,” is doubtless
correct in bis views of the 18 chapter of
Matthew, but we must allow'the. parties
to manage for themselves;
1 The Minutes of the. Georgia Baptist
Association, just received, Show, that the
introductory sermon was preached by
Rev. IT:Jt£. Tucker, that Rev. P. H. Mell
was elected Moderator, and Rev. J. H.
Stockton, CleA. ; , ; *
■“J. S. S.” on prayer—Rather lengthy,
but we shall find a place for it next week.
We have received several of the ad
vance sheets of Dr. J. S. Baker’s valua
ble work, now passing through the press,
and hope to find room for some extracts
from it next week.
To our friend, Dr. Sherwood, we would
say, that the suggestions seDt in pencil
were duly appreciated, but we doubt if
anything can bo done. The case must
work out its results.
Paying foe tiie Platk.—The editor of
the Texas Christian Advocate, who some
■ time ago made a flourish over a present
of silver plate from the Baptist church in
Galveston for pulpit services, is now pay
ing interest on this church investment, in
the shape of Methodist misrepresentation
of Baptist church-government. -
11. D. M. —You are correct. Are cre
dited to 1, ’59.
J. C. M., to 6, ’59 is correct.

B. E. F.—The other half bill came
safely.
U§lP We clip the following from the
Christian Era, and only remark, that the
doctor mistakes as to the amount of stock
the devil holds. He is in fact the sole
proprietor of the concern :
Mr. Randolph, a celebrated Spiritualist, has
openly recanted. In a lecture at Utica, on a re
cent Sunday, he stated it as his candid opinion,
founded upon an experience of nine years as a
medium, that Spiritualism is one-third imposture,
one-third insanity, and one-third diabolism. Dr.
Randolph declares that insanity is the usual fate of
trance mediums.
It does not take a medium to tell us this. We
see the insanity, imposition and diabolism of what
ia called Spiritualism, almost every day. It will
do more to break up families, destroy characters,
and ruin souls, than any other device the devil has
ever presented to the human mind. It is doing a
work worthy of the Prince of Darkness himself.—
It will have its day and die.

Mr. Editor—l wrote to you some time
back, that D. Henderson had moved from
here, and to stop his paper, and it still
comes. You need not send it with the
expectation of getting pay for it, for there
is no person willing to take it out of the
office. Yours, truly,
LEWIS PYLES.
To Editor Christian Index.
We give the above from the postmas
ter. If he ever wrote to us before, his
letter never reached here. That we need
not expect to “get pay for it,” is clear
from the fact, that D. Henderson has paid
nothing since No. 43, 1851, and now owes
SIB,OO. When a man owes that amount
and then rnoyu away without informing
the publisher the paper which he has
read lor seven years at their expense, it
would be a rare thing if he should pay
what he owes.
We should be glad to be informed of
the time when he removed, and the place
to which he has gone. We should like to
■end his old friend after him, now and
then, to look him in the face.
A Texas Baptist writing to his editor,
expresses his opinion thus :
My own opinion, Brother editor, is, that Bap
tists ought first to support their own paper, and
then support as many political journals as they
please—at least, as many as they need.(?)
The folio wiug was cut some weeks since
from a secular paper. It shows how per
plexed Pedobaptists are about those little
church-members, called little infants :
Infant regeneration is the subject of considera
ble discussion in the Nashville and Memphis Ad
vocates. Mercein’s theory—that infants being in
a state of innocence, through the atonement, are
also, by consequence, in a state of purity—is the
text. Rev. C. D. Elliott, Dr. Banner and Dr. Bos
well, affirm—countenanced by the editor of the
Memphis Advocate. The editor of the Nashville
Advocate, and Dr. McFerrin, deny.
An exchange brings us the subjoined
extract:
“Disappointment lurks in many a priEe,
As bees in flowers, and stings us with success.”
But do not let it kill you if it stings. Never let
Imagination picture to you the horrors of disap
pointment. Always anticipate success in any law
ful undertaking, but at the same time be prepared
for a defeast; for thy best plans may come to
nought when thy powers are faithfully exerted.
The origin of the Virginia aristocracy
is thus given:
Why the “F. F. V. s were so Called.—The
term “First Families of Virginia” originated at
the early settlement of the State. It was found
imposible to colonize it unless women went there.
Accordingly a ship load was sent out, but no
planter was allowed to marry one of them until he
had first paid one hundred pounds-of tobacco for
her passage. When a second ship load came, no
one would pay over seventy-five pounds for the
matrimonial privilege except it were a very supe
rior article. Consequently, the decendants of all
those who were ranked as the First Families,
are descended from females who cost 100 pounds,
while those who brought but seventy-five pounds
are now ranked as the Second Families ; and the
reason why no one can ever find any of the second
families, is because you can’t get a Virginian to
admit that his mother only brought seventy-five
pounds of tobacco.—[Petersburg Intel.
The Alabama Educational Journal has

A printer’s mistake is made in the head

“Whereas, certain reports of a slander

We, whose names are hereunto subscri

Arrival oftlie Africa.
New York, Nov 20.—The steamship Africa
arrived to-day, with dates from Liverpool to the
13th. . She brings the following report of the
sales of cotton for the week 39,000 bales, of
which speculators took 3,500 bales, and expor
ters 7,500.
The sales on Friday were 10,000 bales, spec
ulators and exporters taking 3,000 bales each.
An average business was done during the week.
There is no quotable change in prices. Hol
ders are offering freely and the inferior qualities
are unsaleable. - The market closed steady.
Breadstuffs very dull. Provisions declining.
Consols 98J a 98§.
Late from Mexico.
The steamship Tennessee, from Vera Cruz,
has arrived, with dates to the 21st inst.
Three Spanish and two French ships of war
were anchored off Sacrificios. Admiral Renaud
was daily expected with the remainder of the
French squadron.
Gen. Trejos has surrendered Perote.
By this arrival we have advices from the city
of Mexico up to the 18th inst.
Gen. Miraben had arrived in the city. The
liberals wese occupying Zacatecas. Zuloaga
was levying contributions and repairing fortifi
cations.
The liberals had been successful at many
points.
Thanskgivlng Day in Macon.
The twenty-fifth opened brilliantly in this
city. Father Sol rose from his bed in unwonted
splendor and flung his golden boams o’er the earth
with the lavishness of a monarch. AH hearts
were cheered and animated by his radiance, and
every countenance seemed to manifest the gen
eral feeling of the day—thankfulness.
The merchants closed their doors in honor to
the Gubernatorial proclamation, and the citizens
seemed seriously inclined to enter into the spir
it of those who first instituted the anniversary.
An observing stranger might easily have per
ceived that the day was a holiday, from the
members who flocked the streets intent upon en
joyment.
In the Morning, the Macon Volunteers, in
their handsome uniform, paraded to the sound
of martial music and exhibited a very gallant
appearanee with their snowy plumes, manly
forms and excellence of drill.
But, sad to say, the immediate cause of their
martial display was to honor the remains of a
departed comrade. The corpse of Moses Barnes,
Esq., who in a distant Northern city was met
and conquered by the grim monster, Death, had,
the previous evening, been brought to the city,
and to pay the last, sail, solemn duty to a friend
was the oocasion of their appearance.
As was meet, divine service was engaged in
by the members of all the churches. The
Methodists and Presbyterians united in their
thanksgiving exercises, attending the Presby
terian church.
This structure is hut recently finished and per
haps is the most” elegant house of worship in
the State. Built of brick, handsomely painted
inside and stuccoed of a brown stone color on
the outside, it is surmounted by a steeplo that
towers near 200 feet in the air.
The services, here, were led by the Rev.. Mr.
Harnsbergerh of New York city. This gentle
man has been recently engaged by the Presby
terians to officiate for them for the next six
months.
He belongs to the Dutch Reformed church,
and is about 65 years of age. In person he is
tall and commanding, has a good delivery and
a capital voice, and is perfectly at ease in the
pulpit. He graduated at 21 at Schenectady,
New York, began to preach in Brunswick, N.
J., then he preached in Philadelphia, then in
New York city. Owing to a casualty 2 years
ago his health failed and he quitted regular pas
toral labor. He was employed for a time by
the Presbyterians of Savannah and being recom
mended, was employed by the Presbyterian
church of Macon.
He strikingly resembles Millard Fillmore, has
a manner of much suavity, and is a very enter
taining companion, being full of anecdote and
reminiscence. His grey locks give dignity to his
very commanding form.
His remarks were founded on a Psalm and
were very appropriate.
He noticed the delightful nature of the duty
to which we were called, and the several reasons
assigned why we should engage in the service,
with all our hearts and souls. For the duty
consisted in “ making a joyful noise unto the
L©rd” ; that is “in praising Him with gladness,
and in coming before His presence with sing-
V- > - - *
ing,” In general ia our closets, in our fami
lies, anand in our
ful unset Him arp bleSsing His name” in ati
info His .gates with thanksgiving, and into His
Courts-with praiser!” And Those seasons were,
That “ the Lord, he is God.”
That “He hath made ua, and not we our
selves”* r ■■■ i\
■ Thai “We are His people and the sheep -of
His pasture,.”. While ‘He is gated—His mercy
is.-everlasting, anfl llis TrutJf endureth to all
generations” *
In view of the first, we should render the ho
mage which is duo to Him alone. In view of
the second, we should acknowledge our depen
dence. And in view of the third, we should
bring our tribute of gratitude and lay it upon
His altars—encouraged thus to feel and act, by
the consideration annexed, not only that “ He
is good” (as is manifested by the fact that “the
lines have fallen to us in pleasant places, and
that we have such a goodly heritage,)—but that
“ His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endu
reth to all generations,” and therefore we may
believe and Hope in respect to the future, as
well as be satisfied with the past and present
dispensations of Divine Providence and Grace!
A large number waited upon his ministry.
At the Baptist House of worship the Rev. Mr.
Landrum, Pastor, officiated. As is customary
with him, he gave his people an exceedingly
appropriate discourse—one in which the presence
of thought and method indicated careful prep
aration. He took for the foundation of his dis
course the 145th Psalm. In giving a short and
interesting exposition of this Psalm, he gave
the general reasons why, on scriptural grounds,
we should give thanks, and exhibited clearly,
that, in the order of things, it was man’s plain
duty to enter upon this pleasant exercise.
He then gave as special reasons why the cit
izens of Macon, the people of Georgia, and of
the United States should give thanks. He said.
1. That during the past year we had enjoyed
national pease, with all its attendant blessings,
drawing a beautiful contrast between the pres
ent and revolutionary times:
2. That, in a roraarkablo degree, the city had
enjoyed good health. Within his recollection,
so few deaths had occured in no single year, in
Macon; and with the exception of some of the
seaboard cities, he represented the whole State
and country as having enjoyed fine health:
3. That fruitful seasons and commercial pros
perity had been enjoyed by the whole country.
In contrasting the present state of the Commer
cial world with what it was ono short year ago,
ho excited wonder; and urged upon his audi
ence, the duty of great liberality, therefor, in
the cause of Christ:
4. That all should rejoice on account of the
wonderful Revivals, with which the country had
been favored. Observing that nothing like it
had occurred for one hundred years, that a half
million of converts were said to be its fruits, he
showed that it was a cause of thanksgiving to
every heart
Before closing, he reminded his people that
gratitude ought to be attended with humility,
and that all should remember that all blessings
were the purchase of the Lord Jesus Christ
The attendance at this house was good.
In the Episcopal Church, where the exercises
were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Rees,the usual
morning prayer was used, with special anthems
of praise and thanksgiving. The beautiful hymn,
“O, all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord,
praise him and magnify him forever,” seemed to
carry out most fully the injunction of the Gov
ernor in his Proclamation, where he exhorts in
the words of David, “Let the people praise thee,
O God ; then shall the earth yield her increase,
and God, even our own God, shall bless us.”
The Sermon, from the text, “Let everything
that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the
Lord,” appealed to the best feeling of the heart,
and urged upon all, not only gratitude for tempo
ral mercies, but that these should lead us to the
higher duty of love and praise. An Angel’s
thought, he said, would be needed to scan aright
our daily dependence on almighty care and wis
dom—wisdom that gives alike to the rich and
poor the ripened grain and the cooling
showers, the blessing of health and the joy
of peace. He urged upon his audience stron
ger faith, that even the simple petition of
“give us this day our daily bread” might as
cend to the Throne on high, from true and
devout heart —ever wrestling for the promised
blessing.
Praise, he said, was the incense that ever ri
ses from grateful, earnest love to God; and our
lives must show forth as Christians, this highest
privilege and duty of true religion. “Let eve
rything that hath breath, praise the Lord” flowed
from his lips with the melody of a heavenly
message, and many immortal spirits were there
drawn by the love of God, and the mild, persua
sive views of the preacher, to a more entire con
secration of soul to Him, who had crowned the
year with his mercies, and “doth not willingly
afflict or grieve tho children of men.”
The attendance at these services was also grati
fying in point of numbers. It showed that
people felt that they did have something for
which to be thankful, and that gratitude was
working in their hearts.
In the afternoon the Fire Companies of the
city made a grand display. Parading in full
numbers with brilliantly scarlet uniform, they
gave the streets a very gaudy aspect There
was no contest among the different companies,
but each exhibited the power of its engine, and
manifested clearly that Macon has a right to bo
proud of her fire department
And the day ended.
Festivity marked it; and each and all seemed
to experience and exhibit a spirit of Thanks
giving.

DIED, on the night^ofTh e"?- tl7*Xov. at the re
sidence of her grand-son, Dr, J. E. G. Terrell, in
Greenville, Merriwether counter, Gfa.~ Mrs. Jane 11.
Chapman, in the 60th year of her age.
Mrs. Amanda M. Hanes, wife of W. C. Hanes,
and daughter of Col. Thomas and Ann J. Allen,
was born in Henry county, Ga., on the 25th Octo
ber, 1834, and died in Jonesboro’, on the 19th
November, aged 24 years and 25 days.
We are scarcely ever called upon to record the
death of one .so triumphant as was that of sister
Hanes. Having been blessed in childhood with
pious parents, she was early taught to reverence
God and sacred thiwgs, and at the age of 15 she
became a subject of converting grace and joined
the Baptist Church, in which connection she re
mained a faithful and pious member until death.
In 1854 she was married to Mr. Hanes, with whom
she lived in much affection, for more than four
years. She was amiable in her disposition, pos
sessing a meek and quiet spirit, tempered by the
precious iufluences of religion.
She possessed all the natural qualities and vir
tues which enabled her as a wife, a mother, a neigh
bor, and a Christian, to attfe- well her part and
thereby become an example to others.
She was confined to her room for months and to
her bed for several weeks previous to her death,
during which time the writer visited and conversed
with her frequently upon the subject.
She always expressed herself as being resigned
to the will of the Almighty, believing that He
would do what was right.
As the time for her departure drew nigh, the
clouds of doubt and darkness began to be dispelled,
and as the world, with all its glories was receding
heaven, and eternal life heaved in view, and the
path through the valleo of the shadow of death
was made bright, and she was enabled to wade
through the turbid stream, fearing no evil, though
her last hours were full of suffering, yet, they
were full of hope.
As she began to sink down in the cold embra
ces of death, and the power of speech was fast gi
ving way, ■ her brother told her that when she
could not talk, if she felt the Lord was with her,
to raise her hand, which she did more than once,
as an evidence that the God of all grace was still
with her. Her prayer was, “Come, O my Lord,
and take me home.” Precious in the sight of the
Lord, is the death of his saints.”
Her last words were,
“Come, dear Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my raptured soul away,
Send thy Angels down to carry
Me to realms of endless day.”

ITIHE undersigned feels it his duty to render
A thanks to the citizens of Houston and adjoin
ing counties, lor their liberal and extensive patron
age. While he begs a continuance of their favors,
he will state to those who do not know him, that
many years practice in the principal cities of the
South and a complete Dental Laboratory, enable
him to make as elegant and perfect Dental substi
tutes of the most approved and latest style, as
can be furnished by any Dentist in the State.
A WORD ABOUT THE
“CHEAP STYLE OP WORK.”
Persons needing Dental Operations or Artificial
Teeth, and not able to pay me my regular prices,
may feel assured that I will rather share my pro
fits with them than “accommodate” them with a
cheap, or inferior style of work, as such will never
give satisfaction, and is the dearest in the end.
All persons desiring my services will please call
at my Residence, in Perry, where they will find
all the comforts of a first-rate Dental Office. Fam
ilies living at a distance may procure my services
by giving me notice.
Dentists will find a large assortment of the best
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.
