Correspondents.
Owing to the space devoted to the Con
vention in this issue, we have been com
pelled to slight correspondents. But we
are confident that all will thank us for the
accurate Report we have succeeded in
providing. Though not as full as it
might have been, yet it is fall enough to
give a general idea of all the occurrences
of the Convention.
We ask our correspondents to bear
with us until another issue appears. And
now a few words in regard to the Index.
As was expected by some, it is not sold ;
the Baptists of Georgia, have, through
their Convention, decided to keep it their
own property —to support all the interests
of the Convention, and advocate the high
est and best interests of our Denomina
tion in the State. We say to them all
now, that it becomes them to sustain the
the paper. It becomes each one who now
takes it, to secure anew subscriber ; and
it becomes the 1200 subscribers who are
in arrears, to pay their arrearages. To the
Ministers especially, do we appeal for new
subscribers to the Index. Read the let
ter on our first page, and let each one
adopt the suggestion there made, that
our State Convention paper may cany
words of-encouragement, religion, morali
ty, and cultivation into 20,000 families.

WISTAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY.—
So long as disease prevails and it is the lot of
humanity that it always will—so long will the suf
fering seek for the best remedy which science
and skill have discovered for their relief. In our
climate, especially, coughs, colds, and lung affec
tions arc all-prevalent. Few, if any are fortunate
enough wholly to escape their effects, the slightest
form of which, if neglected, is liable to lead to se
rious results. If, then, a remedy is to he had
vyliich is equal to cope with the worst features of
disease, which is speedy ip action and permanent
in effect, it should be known to all. Such a reme
dy does exist in Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cher
ry, and we confidently recommend it as such.

M ELANCIIOLY OCCU RRENCE.
On Siturday evening, March 10th, Samantha
Jans, a beautiful and lovely litt!e„girl, five years
old, and daughter of Frederick and Elizabeth Mc-
Whorter, of this county, while playing with her lit
tle brother on a piece of ground near her father’s
house where some heaps of brush had been burn
ed early in the morning of the same day, had her
clothing set on fire by aflame which they, in their
childish and thoughtless amusement, had kindled
from an unlucky coal found beneath the ashes.—
Her frightful screams soon caught her father’s ear,
who was not more than sixty paces from her, and
pale with alarm, and his heart sinking within his
bosom, he ran with all possible speed to his little
one whom he saw almost covered with flame and
with her little arms extended, calling “Pa! Pa! !
Pa ! !!” He, with the aid of two negro men, soon
extinguished the flames and stripped from her the
burning clothes. But, oh 1 too sad to tell! the
little creature was severely burnt over more than
half her body. She sank beneath it, and on the
next morning, about 7 o’clock, she left her father
and mother, heart-crushed and weeping, and her
little brothers and sisters, for a home beyond the
skies.
“In her earthy bed beneath the flowers,
My little darling lies;
But from heaven’s blue I hear a voice—
’Tis hers. It sweetly says “Rejoice,
I am beyond the skies !”
“ Beside her grave among the flowers,
1 walk with thoughtful tread;
And ’midst the buds beneath my feet,
1 hear a whisper fairy sweet,
“ Your da ling is not dead !”” H.
Greene to.
In Taylor county, Ga., March Bth, 1860, Wiley
B. Shepherd, in the 44th year of his age, of a Tu
mor under his right arm, which greatly enlarged,
causing immense suffering, all of w hich he bore
with Christian fortitude. Bro. Shepherd was born
in Wilkinson co , and united with Liberty Baptist
Church in early life. He was chosen Clerk, and
served in that capacity many years. In 1855 he
removed to Taylor county, and was chosen Clerk
of the Baptist Church in Butler, and from his
knowledge of Church discipline, and active busi
ness turn, he won a high position in the church
and in the hearts of his brethren. But he is no
more. He left a wife and six children, w ith a large
circle of relatives and friends to mourn his early
death. E. H. W.
Mrs. Betsy Ann, the wife of Jesse T. Gunn, Feb.
18th, 1860, in Butts co., Ga,, aged 60 years want
ing 16 days.
She united herself to the Baptist Church at Sar
dis, Henry eo., sometime in the Spring of 1828,
and sometime afterwards she removed her letter
thence to Macedonia Church, Butts co., ever since
living an exemplary Christian, exhibiting that de
votedness which only characterizes a true follow
er of Jesus, at the same tints show ing by her god
ly walk and conversation, that she had passed
from death unto life.
The last few months of Mrs. G.’s life were spent
in pains almost intolerable, (her affliction being
that of a Cancer.) Yet she bore it patiently to
the end. Indeed she ever expressed a desire to
be resigned to the will of the Lord, and during her
last days her constant prayer seemed to be, like
Stephen’s of old, “Lord Jesus receive my spirit.”
But now she is gone, “where the wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are at rest.” She
left a husband, and several children and friends to
mourn her loss. Yet their loss gain.
“Jesus, the vision of thy face,
Hath overpowering charms,
Scarce shall I feel death’s cold embrace
If Christ be in my arms.”
Alas! she is no more. Her soul has taken its
flight to the realm of everlasting happiness, w hile
her body lies mouldering in the tomb.
We, as children, mourn for one that was our
best friend—one that cradled us in morality, and
taught us so many moral precepts. Yet we mourn
not as those who have no hope, for we have un
mistakable evidences that our mother is now in the
climes of glory. Therefore weep not for those
who are gone hence, but rather pray that our days
m#y be eo ipent that we may meet our relative!
in Hegven.
“ Life’s duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven and earth combine to say,
‘llow blest the righteous when he dies!”’
A SOX.
At his father’s residence, in Madison, Morgan
connty, on the 11th of April, Charles Carroll Walk
er, aged 21 years and 3 months.
From infancy to the 3d of August, 1850, he was
always in perfect health. On that day he had a
small hemorrhage from his lungs, liver and heart.
The last three winters were spent in Texas with his
father, and he had frequent promise of restoration
to health, but God’s providence had ordered oth
erwise, and this providence though afflictive to his
person and his friends, was but the mercy of his
Creator in bringing him to heaven, through re
pentance and faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
Long before he died he rejoiced in the hope of
eternal salvation, and would praise and thank his
parents that they had early instructed him in the
ways of the Lord. He was a constant pupil in the
Sabbath school for more than fourteen years. His
last breath was an intelligent expression. “I love
Jesus, he now leads me through the dark valley
and shadow of death, I fear no evil.”

fcW* Any of our readers afflicted with Seroiula
or Scrofulous complaints, will do well to read the
remarks in our advertising columns respecting it.
But little of the nature of this disorder has been
kr.own by the people, and the clear exposition of
it there given, will prove acceptable and useful.—
We have long admired the searching and able
manner in which Dr. Ayer treats every subject he
touches : whatever has his attention at all, has a
great deal of it, he masters what he undertakes,
and no one who has a particle of feeling for his
afflicted fellow man, can look with indifference
upon his labors for the sick. Read what he says
of Scrofula, and see in how’ few words and how
clearly he tells as more than we all have known of
this insidious and fatal malady.

If any people in the world ever needed an apos
tle to cast their devils out, it is ours who live in
the water-logged country. The miasmatic poison
of our Swamps aud Marshes becomes a veritable

vers which shake and scorch us all. Ayer’s “Ague
Cure” is said to he the apostle we need, and some
of our neighbors who have tried it confirm the re
port.—[Journal, Plano, 111.

This able work, on its first appearance, received

unfolding the true relation of the Lord Jesus

centre around which the providential government
of God revolves, and towards which all human

Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
This remedy has long been cherished in the com
munity for its remarkable efficacy in relieving,
healing and curing the most obstinate, painful and
longstanding cases of Cough, Cold, Influenza, Sore
Throat, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Croup, Asth
ma, Inflammation of the Lungs ; while even Con
sumption itself has yielded to its magic influence
when all other means have failed. Its whole his
tory proves that the past has produced no remedy
of equal value, as a cure for the numerous and dan
gerous pulmonary affections w’hich prevail all over
the land.
Read the following Letter from, a high
ly respectable gentleman:
Limestone, Montour co., Pa., Oct. 22, 1858.
This is to certify that I was pronounced by sev
eral physicians as consumptive, and had all he
symptoms of the disease in its worst form, such as
coughing, severe pains iu the chest, shortness of
breath, night-sweats, and extreme weakness and
lassitude in my whole system. My family nearly
all having died of the disease, I had given up all
hope of recovery, as nothing gave me relief; but
through the persuasion of a friend I was induced
to try Dr. Wis tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. The
first bottle relieved me considerably, and the third
bottle cured me entirely. I now feel as well as ev
er I did in my life, and am able to follow my oc
cupation as farmer as fully as any one.
I also had a sister in a more advanced state of
the disease, h viug been confined to her bed for
over a year and pronounced beyond hope by our
best physicians. She also was entirely cured by the
Wild Cflerry, but it required six or eight bottles,
and she still takes it occasionally as a preventive,
being naturally weak chested.
I wonld sincerely urge all'who are similarly af
flicted to try Dr. Wistar’s Balsom of Wild Cherry,
as I am satisfied that but for your own valuable
remedy my sister and myself would not now be
living. I w ill cheerfully answer any one who may
address me on the subject and state our cases more
fully. JACOB MILLER.
CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The only
genuine Wistar's Balsam has the written signature
of “I. BUTTS” and the prited one of the Proprie
tors on the outer wrapper ; all others are vile and
worthless.

Scrofula, or King’s Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending “ from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; ” indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, “ I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children.”
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
AYERS
Compound Extract ot Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Ekupttvr
and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire,
Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pus iiles,
Blotches, Blains and Boils, Tumors, Tetter
and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and,
indeed, all Complaints arising prom Vr >a
ted or Impure Blood. The popular 1 lief
in “ impurity of the blood ” is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC.
are so composed that disease within the ran • of
their action can rarely withstand or evade t. m.
their penetrating properties search, and ci use,
and invigorate every portion of the human •‘hol
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. Asa consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find h:s
health or energy restored by a remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costive
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid
Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefit*
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten. PREPARED BY
