Revision.
The Proceedings of the Bth annual meeting
of the Bible Revision Association have reached
us. Its total amount cf receipts for the year
was $20,078 23.
Rev. \V. T. Russell, is Agent for Georgia.
We find in the Minutes Pres. Crawford’s ad
dress before the Association, and give from it
one pertinent quotation:
“These considerations, then, press upon us
the question. Is not this the time and place f<r
revising our version of the Scriptures, as we
may freely inquire for truth and freely pub
lish the truth ; as the labor of generations has
secured to us a purer and more perfect Greek
text; as the science of philology and the laws
of interpretation unite to lend us their aid ?
I repeat, has not the time come ? If not, when
will it come ? You admit that revision at some
time is proper, nay desirable. Will it ever be
more desirable than now ? If God has put us
in possession of results most favorable for re
vision now, may we not take it as an indica
tion of His will, that we should engage in the
work now ? If not, may we not rightfully ask
of our opponents when shall the work be en
gaged in ? When will you be ready to take
hold, and when may we properly undertake
it ?”
Levei t Female Seminary.
Its Catalogue for 1800 is at hand. After an
experiment of three years its friends have san
guine hopes of its permanence and usefulness.
It is situated at Talbotton, Ga., under the
Presidential charge of Win. B. Seals, A. M.
Colporteur of Sarcpta Association ,
Rev. Jno. 11. Westmoreland, reports for
March the following labors : Visited G 1 Bap.
families, 47 not Baptist. Prayed with 10,
conversed with 29 persons on religion, preach
ed 15 times. Value of books sold, $33,90,
donated $1,45, sold 11 Bibles, and gave away
1,000 pages of Tracts.
President Bacon
Has regained good health again, but having
lost his wife in Miss., the circumstances which
now surround him and his family, not being
compatible with his engagements there, and in
rearing of his family, he has sold out his inter
est in the Aberdeen Female College, and has*
so far, left his lot uncast.
The Mississippians are making a vigorous ef
fort to retain him in that S^ite.
A rope in America.
Archbishop Hughes, of New York, is to be
made a Cardinal this year; but that this.is
only the preliminary step to his being made
Pope. The poor weak old Pope, finding that
his temporal power is going, if not gone, and
that the city of Rome is likely to be a very
uncomfortable and unsafe place for him, is
looking to the United States as the seat of
Pontifical power.
The American Vatican is to be situated at
St. Louis.
Maine.
Is said to be comparatively the strongest
Baptist State in the country. A correspond
ent at Waldoboro’ writes : “The Lord has been
visiting this place in great mercy for two or
th ree months past, quickening his children in
the various churches, and bringing sinners
from darkness to light, Such has been the
state of religious feeling throughout the town,
that a thoughtless sinner is a rare exception.
Many are troubled, and a large number have
been hopefully converted.”
Change.
Rev. N. G. Goodhue, for several years a
preacher among the Congregationalists, uni
ted with the Baptists at Bellows Falls, Vt.,
lately, owing to a change in his sentiments on
the subject of baptism. lie is said to be a
man of good gifts and of a clear discriminating
mind.
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
We understand that the commencement ex
ercises of this Institution, will take place on
Monday the 28th May. The Board of Trus
tees will meet on Friday, the 25th. On Sun-
day the cdbimencement sermon will be preach
ed by Rev. J. T. Tichenor, of Montgomery,
Ala. The sermon before the Society of Mis
sionary Inquiry, will be preached bv Rev. G.
w. Samson, D. D., of Washington city. Mr.
J, A. Chambliss, of Alabama, a student of the
Seminary, will deliver the address before the
Andrew Fuller Society. On Monday night
the commencement address will be delivered
by Ilev. J. I>. Jeter, D. D., of Richmond, Va.,
in connection with which the diplomas will be
given and degrees conferred.
Southern Baptist.
Scotland.
In various districts of the north of Scotland,
the revival movement has latterly made mar
vellous progress, though the opposition has
been very powerful. 11. Haynes, M. D, in
the Aberdeen Free Press says: ‘‘ As yet, I
have not heard of a single case of backsliding.
The work still goes on, and I have no hesita
tion in saying that aloug this coast thousands
have been brought to a saving knowledge of
the truth, full of heavenly joy and love.”
A Heavy Contribution.
At an overflowing meeting in behalf of the
British and Foreign Bible Society in Abbeo
kuta, in Africa, a collection was taken which,
when finished, was as much as eight men could
carry, each calabash whemfilled being emp
tied on the floor near the pulpit. The collec
tion amounted to nearly 8150, a large portion
of it consisted of cowries, a kind of small shell
which the natives pass as money, over 170,000
of which were contributed.
Goshen Association Va.
This body sets a noble example to all others.
Its number of churches is 43. The most of
them are poor ; and many of them recently
organized. Its usual contribution to the Mis
sionary fund is about $5,000. It sustains
two missionaries in the Foreign field.
Return of Mrs. Mason.
Mrs. Mason, wife of Rev. Francis Mason of
Toungoo, accompanied by her son, arrived at
Boston in the steamer America, the last week
ia April. Her object in visiting this country
is to excite an interest in behalf of female edu
cation among the Karens.
Another.
It rejoices us to chronicle the entrance of
Missionaries upon such a heavenly work,
The Southern Foreign Mission Board, on
Monday, the 23rd ult., received brother A. L.
Bond, as a missionary. The examination was
most satisfactory, and the testimonials of bro.
B. were of a high character. He is a member
of the First Baptist Church, Baltimore, and at
present a student of Columbian college, and
will graduate at the close of the session. Bro.
B. will be connected with the Shanghai Mis
sion, China.
Spiritual Depression.
The Presbyterian utters it as a “firm convic
tion that a large portion of cases of spiritual
doubt and depression in those who lead a con
sistent religious life arise either frem want of
proper attention to health, or from the neglect
to engage in some work of active usefulness,”
and we believe it to be true. A Christian nev-
er feels in a more lively and devout frame
than when after a day of healthy exercise in
his Master’s cause, he finds, at night, his blood
coursing warmly through his veins as a conse
quence.
Baptism in Montgomery , Ala.
We learn that Rev. Mr. Calloway baptized
five negroes in the river there lately. There
was quite a large number of ladies and gen
tlemen looking on, and a thousand gaily dress
ed slaves thronged the bluff and the wharves.
Basle.
This city in Switzerland has an American
Protestant Missionary.
Rev. Mr. Ilebick, who had been for twenty
five years one of its missionaries in India, a
truly Christian and devoted minister of the
gospel, somewhat blunt and eccentric perhaps,
but earnest and zealous, returned and com
menced preaching in the city of Basle. lie
drew crowds to hear him, and many were hope
fully converted ; but the pastors of the city,
many of them rationalists, were greatly dis
pleased, and insisted that such preaching could
not be allowed. The Missionary Committee
composed in part of these pastors, refused, tho’
by a small majority, to countenance his fur
ther preaching, and the consequence was an
American was obtained by the aroused people.

Salient Points of the Alabama
Pulpit.
Rev. J. M. Scott, of^Shelby county,
now about four score, is the venerated
pastor of one or two churches he has ser
ved for more than thirty years. In easy
circumstances,he has spent a life in preach
ing, without pecuniary reward. lie has
baptized and buried almost a whole gen
eration. The Deacons and the good men
who were around in his settlement in the
county, are all gone.
The purity of his life would suffer in
comparison with none who have home
the Master’s Commission in modern times.
Serenity has been his marked peculiarity ;
no croaking no despair of the times, no
gloomy apprehensions that virtue and re
ligion are dying out of the world.
Father Scott has always been regarded
an able minister of the New Testament —
not learned, nor eloquent, but knowing
what he said and w’hereof he affirmed. —
Wo have no doubt that if any one might
most safely, he might adopt the
he is old and well stricken in years—“ Our
rejoicing is this, the testimony of our con
science, that in simplicity and Godly sin
cerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by
the grace of God, we have had our con
versation in the world.’’
REV. M. P. SMITH.
Rev. M. P. Smith, has been the belov
ed pastor of Beulah Church, Pickens coun
ty, Ala., for a quarter of a century. We
love to record such cases of permanence.
He is a plain man, whose sound piety, un
wavering devotion, and usefulness, have
so wedded his people to him, that they
have not thought of calling to his place an
“educated minister.” Familiar with the
Scriptures, he know 9 how T to draw out of
the treasury the'things that are suitable, j
at the proper time. Ilis words are right
words ; his example holy; his piety above
the region of doubt. We have heard him
say that such a thing had not troubled
him in twenty years. ’Tis the appropri
ate result of the character of his life.

Burnett’s Cocoaine.
Messrs. Joseph Burnett & Cos., Boston, are the
well known manufacturers of this celebrated ar
ticle for the hair, which is now fully established
in its popularity and recommended by physicians
and chemists through the Uni'ed States. Mr Bur
nett’s abilities as a chemist have enabled him to
produce a compound, combining the properties of
the Cocoa-Nut Oil, with a peculiar vegetable tonic
sufficiently to preserve and promote the healthy
growth of the hair, at the same time that it is un

WISTER’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY.—
So long as disease prevails and it is the lot of hu
manity that it always will—so long wi 1 the suffer
ing seek for the best remedy which science and
skill have discovered for their relief. In our cli
mate, especially, coughs, colds, and lung affections
are all-prevalent. Few, if any are fortunate
enough wholly to escape their effects, the slight
est form of which, if neglected, is liable to lead to
serious results. If, then, a remedy is to be had
which is equal to cope with the worst features of
disease, which is speedy in action and permanent
in effect, it shoffld 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.

In Powelton on the I3th of February, Mrs. E.
11. McLellan, in lhe 65th year of her age. She
joined the Baptist church of that place in the
Spring of 1828, was baptised by the Rev. B. M.
Sanders, and her membership continued with that
church until her death. For several years past she
was one of the main stays of the church, and one
of Powelton’s most favored and important citizens.
No one remains to fill her place, and her beneficent
hand will long be remembered by the people of that
community*.
She was ready and willing to meet the King of
Terrors, and has gone to dwell with the redeemed
in heaven.
In the same house with Typhoid Fe.er, on the
25th of November, Mary Ann Davenport, 16 years
of age—daughter of Monroe and Sarali Ann Dav
enport,of Cass county. She had made no formal
profession of religion, but her daily walk, mighty
devotions, deep interest in religious matters, and
great anxiety to be one of God’s people, left a glo
rious and encouraging assurance, that she was one
of God’s favored children—and lias gone to sing
songs of triumph round the Great White Throne
through an endless eternity of happiness.
On the morning of 26th of November, the insa
tiate Monster death, took from the same family
circle another of its blooming buds. Little Lizzy
Lou Davenport, a sweet little cherub of 5 summers
was snatched away from her fond parents, and
transplanted in another and better world. While
the affectionate and sorrowing mother was weep
ing over the dead body of one of her children in a
distant portion of the State, she was summoned
home to clasp for the last time the cold and stiffen
ed clay of her pet little one, and it too was depos
ited in the ‘cold, coldgrouad.”
Weep not after them fond mother, for their ‘in
heritance is incorruptible and fadeth not away.’—
Though their little bodies lie far apart, their saint
ed spirits dwell together ‘in a house not made
with hands eternalin the heavens.’

“We Lave been borne through the perusal of

rrillE first volume of this great work had a re-
JL markable success, and by the general voice
of the best critics, the author is assigned a place
in the front rank of American Historians. The
Boston Journal says of him : “Many of his admir

among younger writers, to till the place in our
literature, left vacant by the death of Prescott.”
The second volume will he found more fascina

It will at once take rank among the best Me
moirs of modern times. Its subject was a great
and good man, a foremost leader among the emi
nent and useful men of this country. The biogra
pher has executed his work with rare ability and
discretion, and the reader is brought into acquain
tance with the statesmen and philanthropists of
England, and with prominent military officers and
civilians in India. Life in India, in all its wonder
ful variety, is finely portrayed, both before and
during the late mutiny. The Christian will be
charmed by the earnest piety which everywhere
pervades the volume, and the general reader will
be attracted by its wonderful stories of informa •

CHRIST IN HISTORY.
By Robert Trunbull D. D.
12mo. Cloth, $1 25.
This able work, on its first appcarauce, received
a cordial welcome from scholars and theologians
as a most important contribution to religious liter
ature. It furnishes a key to all human history by
unfolding the true relation of the Lord Jesus
Christ to our world, as the Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end of all things; the moral
centre around which the providential government
of God revolves, and towards which all human
thought and action converge. The volume has
been revised and enlarged for the present edition.

The sale of the first large edition of this work,
in a few days attests the public opinion of its value.
The voice of the press is also most explicit in its
favor. A few specimens may be given:
“The consummate learning, judgment and gen
eral ability, displayed by Mr. Rawlinson in-his edi
tion of Herodotus, are exhibited in this work also.”
—North American.
“In its special application of secular history to
the illustiatioifeof the sacred record, it possesses
an interest and value for Biblical students which
can hardly be expressek in words. We see not
how any man of candor can read this volume and
retain a doubt as to the authenticity of the histo
rical books of the Old Testament.”—lndependent.

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 lor the numerous and dan
gerous pulmonary affections which 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 in 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. Wistar'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 iny fife, and am able to follow my oc
cupation as farmer as fuliy as any one.
I also had a sister in a more advanced state of
the disease, h ving 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 Cherry, 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 will cheerfully answer any one who may
address me on the subject and state our cases more
fully. JACOB MILLER.
23T CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The only

Scrofula, or King’s Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, apd 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 cliildrcn.”
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, wliich, 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
are 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
AYER’S
Compound Extract of 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 consequence.-.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive
and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire,
E.ose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules,
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 from Vitia
ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief
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 PHYSIO.
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them,
their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human pagan
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 his
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 benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten. PREPARED BY
