EDITORIAL SUMMARY.
We would advise brother D. E. Butler
to send us the fifty cents he has tor us
from E. Denard in three cent postage
stamps. We cannot give credit on our
books for any thing but cash received.
We hold in our possession the right
hand half of a five-dollar bill, and the left
hand half of a two-dollar bill, which breth
ren have sent us with the promise to send
the corresponding halves when they shall
have learned the safe arrival of the halves
above named. This is a perplexing and
useless way of sending money. There is
no safety in it; for if the half should be
lost, all is lost, and as the office takes the
risk of mail losses, brethren might as well
send the whole at once. Ever since we
left the Pajdobaptist Church for the Bap
tist, we have not been able to do any
thing by halves. We must have a whole
faith, a whole baptism, whole-hearted
Baptists, and whole bank-bills, or the In
dex must cease to point the right way—
that’s all.
Ihe Minutes of the Florida Baptist
Convention have come to hand. They
were noticed in a previous number.
J. TANA RU5...., Waynesboro, Geo. The $lO
came safely to hand.
John Syb , Rehoboth, Ga. Will
please send the names of the two new
subscribers at Lincolnton.
Mrs. E. A. E. .s’ paper goes to Erwin
ton, S. C.
W. A. II Double Wells, Ga. The
$2 was received.
T. W. 5...., Sparta, is paid to No. 29,
’6O. Don’t fear losing you.
H. G. Massey. What is the post-office
of this subscriber ?
Geo. M. W Craftsville, all is right
for you.
W. M. Stewart. What was your other
post-office ?
Mrs. A. C. D. .y, Albany, owes $5,00.
Stopped by P. M.
A pamphlet from Blakeman, Sheldon
& Cos. titled .Thoughts on the Missionary
Organizations of the Baptist Denomina
tion, came duly to hand. They are truly
great thoughts on a great subject by a
great man.
Just see what Brother Otis of the West
ern Recorder says below:
15,000.
(Kr Remember that every Baptist
preacher can get the Western Recorder
lor one dollar a year as soon as our list of
subscribers numbers fifteen thousand.
That is doubtless a safe offer in Ten
nessee Baptist style. We shall make the
same offer for our patrons after our list
reaches 20,000.
Our readers will find an able article on
the first page from •‘Vindex,’’ in reply to
our Missouri correspondent. Both these
gentlemen are known to us, and are able
writers, but with due deference to the
judgment of our esteemed brother in Mis
souri, we must think that “Vindex’’ has
the light side of the question. We mmt
make a distinction (as it seems to us) be
tween the sovereign right of a church to
receive a member excluded by another
church, and her right to receive him at
the hazard of disturbing denominational
fellowship.
We acknowledge the reception of two
tracts on the nature and design of Bap
tism, from Louisville, Ky.
The Western Watchman in allusion to
the first page of our first number for this
year, remarks as follows;
The first page of the Index is covered
with an amusing debate between the edit-
O", and others, respecting the encroaching
?o!icy of a publishing house at Nashville,
‘enn., which, it seems, only asks to be
allowed peacefully to swallow them all up.
Some of the Georgians insist that it is
their duty to consent to bo swallowed up,
for the good of the concern aforesaid, and
blame the editor “a stranger’’ for not but
tering the morsel. And, further, they are
very much grieved with him for being
‘neutral” in the Nashville troubles.
The staples of Georgia, judging from
our standpoint, are cotton and poetry. The
Index cannot get on without the former,
though it might occasionally dispense with
the litter.
The beautiful Catalogue of Zeilin <fc
Hunt has been laid on our table. We
wish our neighbors great success.
Ivorv.—The old book says—in a story which,
without further explanation, is transmitted to
most of new ones —that “ a great part of the
ivory imported is from the tusks of dead ele
phants.’ which are found lying in marshes and
jungles. VI c are not able to say how far this is
true, but it seems impossible that it should re
main much longer true, and we should like to
know the facts about this interesting matter. It
is really interesting, because a supply ofivory,
derived from dead material, must, at sonic time,
be exhausted, and the cessation or material re
duction of the supply would compel a curious
change in many manufactures, ami many hab
its ot life. Several years ago, it was estimated
that the consumption of ivory in English Shef
field alone, (where it was used for knife han
dles, and the like,) was equal to the tusks of
ttcenly-lico thousand elephants, annually. Such
a slaughter, if the ivory were derived from ele
phants killed for the purpose, would soon re
duce the supply to a minimum. The chief sup
ply from the tusks of dead animals—for the re
mains oi the mammoth and other creatures, not
elephants, furnished ivory tusks—is, we believe,
from the northern part of Eastern Siberia, where
the tusks of the mammoth, and other animals,
are found in large quantities. This is called
“ fossil ivory,” although, of course, it is not
fossilized. The particulars of the course of this
trade, and its resources, would be worth look
ing up.
Comparative Distance of tlic Near*
EST FIXED STAR.
Acorrespondent of the Londou papers says:
“As the comet is parting company with us, I
think the following statement will afford the
public, whose minds are not familiar with as
tronomical distances, a pretty good idea there
of. If the earth’s distance from the sun, 95,-
103,0J0 miles, is represented by a space of 1
inch; Jupiter’s, 490,000,000 miles, by 5 inchet;
Saturn’s, 900,000,000 miles, by 9 inches ;
U) anus’s, ],BOQ,OOQ,OQO miles, by 18 inches ;
a d Neptune’s, 2,900,000,000 mileis, by 29
Uches ; the diameter of the longest ellipse m
tie orbit of Donati’s comet, whose period is
■aid to be 2,495 years, and distant 32,100,000,-
003 miles, will be represented by a space of
368 inch. Then the distance of the nearest
fixed star, which is at least, 35,000,000,000,-
030 miles distant, will be represented by a
■ >ace of 348,000 inches, or 5 7-9th miles, which
i®Lbbo times that of the comet when furthest
off or 12,680 times the distance of the planet
Neptune from the snn, the most distant yet
discovered belonging to the solar system, and
which occupies 165* year in its orbit.
The Dollar Tel (graph
The fifth number of this we <kly will be pub
lished next Thursday, and co.Otain, as it will
every week thereafter, twenty-fonr columns of
exclusively reading matter. It will be made up
mainly from the larger Weekly Telegraph, and
embody interesting matter—tales—anecdotes—
news, State and National—in amount and variety
altogether unrivalled at that price, by any print
in the Southern country. The receipt of the
paper will be in all cases evidence that it is
paid for. We cannot send receipts by letter*
Mail us a dollar and it shall be sent to any ad
dress for a year.
An Earnest Appeal.
Is now made by the Board of the South
ern Baptist Publication Society to all who
are indebted to Smith & Whiiden, Depo’-
ry agts., (said agency having closed Jan.
1, 1859) on account of books purchased in
1858 or previous years, to make early set
tlements either by cash or note.
It is particularly desired that the unset
tled business of this department of the so
ciety’s operations be closed at an early
period.
The Board would also respectfully call
the attention of all who are in arrears to
the Society on account of subscriptions
made, and request such to make remit
tance, that the interest of the Society
may be promoted by the publication of
additional works called for by the wants
of the denomination, some of which are
now ready.
It is hoped that this appeal will not be
disregarded, but meet with a prompt and
cheerful response.

DIED.
Died, near Talbotton, Talbot county, on the 18th
inst., Mrs. Maky A. F. Wilson, wife of Elder J.
D. Wilson, in the forty-fourth year of her age.
Sister W. was for over thirty years an exemplary
Christian and a devoted member of the'Baptist 1
church. All who knew her can testify to the ■
kindness of her heart. Asa w ife, mother, mis
tress and neighbor, none was ever more devoted.
To her afflicted family and neighbors, she was in- ,
deed a ministering angel. The way-worn minister ,
of Jesus always found in her house a home ; the
poor and needy always found in her a friend. She
cheered her afflicted companion onward in his
ministerial labors by her encouragements and self
denial in the cause of the master even on till death.
Perhaps a heavier stroke never fell upon a family.
May her heart-broken sons never forget the ex
ample, the counsels and prayers of that sainted
mother. May it be their constant aim to meet her
in Heaven. A FRIEND.
Baptist please copy.
At her father’s residence in Madison county,
Fla., on Sabbath morning, 16th day of January,
1859, Sister Ellen A. Hampton daughter of Dea
con S. O. Sullivan, aged 18 years 6 months and 28
days.
InJfebruary last, the writer of this performed
services which made her the happy
bride of Dr. B. W. Hampton. On the 6th of the
present instant, lie performed like services, which
made her sister the happy bride of a happy hus
band. On the 7th, I left .my brotherj Deacon’s
residence, and surely, I thought I never saw a
more happy and joyful family circle in all my life.
On the 16th I was again sent for, but to perform a
very different service. Alas! how sid the change;
how great the contrast a few’ short days had pre?
duct'd; that happy family thrown, suddenly thrown,
from the highest state of joy, to the very deep
est depiits of sorrow. Alas! how deceptive are
the flatteries of earth; how true the adage, “In the
midst of life we are in death.”
The subject of this notice was, by nature, so
cial. amiable, lovely, and these characteristics all
heightened by intellectual training, and by a pious,
devoted Christian life. It will be a source of com
fort to her numerous friends in South Carolina,
where she was educated; especially in Charleston,
where she completed her studies, and where she
has many devoted friends, to know, that she died
as she had lived—a Christian. PASTOR.

From the Rev. Dr. Wayland.
GenPemen—l learn with great pleasure that
you are about to republish the Annotated Para
graph Bible of London Religious Tract Society. I
have carefully examined a considerable portion of
the work and consider it eminently adapted to in
crease and diffuse a knowledge of the word of
God. The notes are precisely w hat the reader of
the Scriptures desires—very learned, judicious and
able, and everywhere throwing light on the mean
ing of the text. I heartily recommend it to Chris
tians of every denomination, and especially to the
Teachers of Bible Glasses and Sabbath Schools, to.
whom it will pro re an invaluable aid.
From Rev. Dr. Tyng.
“There can be but one opinion about the new
edition of the ‘Paragraph Bible,’ in course of pub
lication, by the London Religious - Tract Society,
and lam most glad you have undertaken its pub
lication here. I should be glad, in any way within
my reach to promote the success ot’ the enter
prise.”
From Prof. H. B. Smith, of the Union Seminary.
“The plan of the ‘Annotated Paragraph Bible’
is excellent, and the work seems to have been ex
ecuted with great care and judgment. In the
same compass, it would be difficult to compress
any more of the right sort of materials for the pro
fitable study of the Biole, by all classes of readers.
The notes are brief and pertinent ; the chronolo
gical lists, the maps and references have been pre
pared with great diligence. The work commends
itself to careful study and general diffusion.”

GEORGIA— COTTON.
Glenat.ta, Marion Cos., Geo., Oct. 27, 1858.
John Kettlewell, Esq.;
Dear Sir:—Your favor of the 13th inst., came to
hand yesterday, desiring me to give you the resnlt of
my experience with Peruvian and “Manipulated
Guano” this year, upon my cotton crop, which I do
with much pleasure ; but it is necessary and proper
that I inform you, that the “ Manipulated Guano”
was not received till 10th April, which was about
ten or twelve days after I was done planting where
I had applied the X’eruvian Guano; and I put the
“ Manipulated” upon old and inferior land and the
yield has been about equal per acre. I used it upon
poorer land, that I might be better able to know its
value as a manure; and lam fully of opinion, that
the production was doubled by the use of it, and the
cotton of better quality, than upon the same kind of
land where no fertilizer was used. The test experi
ment has proven so satisfactory to me, tnat I shall
hereafter continue the use of your Manipulated, in
preference to the Peruvian Guano.
Yours, Arc., ISAAC T. ROBINSON.
P- S. —I perceive no difference in the quality of
cotton grown from the Manipulated and Peruvian
Guano.
SOUTH CAROLINA—COTTON AND CORN.
Abbeville, 25th Oct. 1858.
John Kettlewell, Esq.;
Dear Sir:—Your favor of the 19th instant, asking
my experience in the use of your “ Manipulated Gu
uno” is just to hand—l reply, with pleasure : I have
ased five tons of it in the* growth of cotton on both
old and fresh lands of mulatto soil, and the result is,
that, on the former, where without the use of your
guano, I have made 200 lbs. of seed cotton per acre
with it—l will gather this year—which has been one
of such drought that cotton will be cut at least one *
third short on my place—4oo lbs. per acre, and on
the latter, the increase of yield will be about 2 to 1.
I am satisfied, that if the season had been more
favorable, the result would have been more manifest.
There can be no question but tnat your “ Manipula
ted Guano” is an admirable manure—its cheapness
over the Peruvian Guano, together with its adapted
ness to the production of cotton, will certainly re
commend it to the cotton planters. I expect to use
it much more liberally on my next year’s crop.
I am truly yours, H. A. JONES.
Charleston, Oct. 27th, 1858.
John Kettlewell, Esq-;
Dear Sir: —ln reply to your letter of 14th inst., in
which you make the request that I should give you
“ the results of my experience with your Manipula
ted Guano, especially in comparison with the Peru
vian, both as it regards quality and quantity.”
For the last two years, I have used your No. 1
Manipulated Guano largely for my farming purpo
ses, and in various experiments to test it with the
best Peruvian in quantity and quality. They have
been conducted with great minuteness, and in every
instance the Manipulated Guano has proved superi
or to the Peruvian alone—the growth of the plant
being more vigorous, and the product heavier.—
This result was more particularly applicable to corn t
yet, as to other crops, say barley, oats, &c., the su
periority of the Manipulated was apparent. I think
it a stronger and a cheaper manure—cheaper, be
cause it requires less to the acre, and also on account
of difference in price. I therefore use it in prefer
ence to Peruvian, on all my crops. Not planting
cotton, I have no personal experience of its effects
on that plant. Yours, very respectfully,
BENJ. a. rHett.

West Hill Warehouse, j
Messrs. John Rowlett & Co—Gents:
In reply to your inquiry I with pieasure state, that
sometime in the early part of this year, the Inspec
tors at this Warehouse sold for Mr. F. R. Wills, a
successful farmer of Prince George’s, and a gentle
men of high character and undoubted integrity,
two lots of loose tobacco, one of which as stated by
him was made on land where Manipulated Guano
had been used and the other where Peruvian Guano
had been used; the former bringing S9J per cwt.,
the latter only $7. As indicated by the prices there
was a very marked difference in the two lots so far
as to the quality and character of the tobacco; that
of the former being heavier and rich ; of the latter,
then, bony, course and poor.
In addition, I will state, that so far as I am inform
ed, the tobacco grown on land where Kettlewell’*
Manipulated Guano has been used, is generally of a
superior quality, and consequently several of our
large tobacco growers are now using this guano on
their tobacco crop in preference to other manures.
Very respectfully yours,

port the standing of your Guano in our county with
our farmers. I have to report universal satisfac
tion; I name N. C. Dickersou, E. R. Griffith, J. War
field, H. Crawford, F. M. Griffith, and could go
much further, were it necessary, who believe it e
qual, if not superior to the best Peruvian Guano for
the first crop. I have tried on all c> ops in all ways,
and do not hesitate to say that I esteem it superior
to Peruvian Guano—because it produce* an equal
crop when first applied, if not better—far better ia
second crop, and admits of no comparison for grass,
I use noothertban the ‘ Manipulated,” and rest as
sured as loDg as you keep the article to the present
standard, it must supercede the Peruvian with us.
Respectfully yours, URIAH H. GRIFFITH.
In addition to names given by our agent, we nam*
A B. Davis, Dr. F. Howard, E. J. Hall, near Brooke
viile, F. Valdevar, near Colesville, &e., Ac. jan 112a
