Number 2.
Most of the old ministers 40 years ago,
had a measured sing-song tone in preach
ing and reading hymns, which would be
amusing to the present race of worship
pers.
Dosier Thornton, Win. Davis and Jesse
Mercer, when warmed with their dis
course, would fall into it. Older Pedo
baptist ministers, as Rev. Win. Springer,
of Wilkes, could use it when on tours ot
preaching with Silas Mercer. So com
mon was the heavenly tone, as called, that
wdien one rose to preach, who did not em
ploy it, many left the congregation.
In 1818, I heard a colored preacher
Venture Galphin in its highest style of
excellence. Ilia hymn was—
And are we wretches yet alive?
And dare we yet rebel ?
Tis wondrous, ’tis amazing love,
That keeps us out of hell.

Summary.
Olhausen's Comment ary.
Asa work of the highest order of merit, its
importance is acknowledged alike by the Pro
fessor, the Critic, the Pastor, and the Student
and while more especially adapted for them,
it is one of its highest recommendations, that
the private Christian, and the humble Sabbath
School Teacher, will find it a work of inestima
ble value to them in the study of the New
Testament. We know of no more valuable or
appropriate gift a faithful, laborious pastor
could receive from his people than a copy of
this work, and we trust the day is not far dis
tant when no Minister’s,Sabbath School Teach
er’s, or Student’s library will be deemed com
plete without a efrpy of Olshausen’s Commen
tary. From among the many testimonials in
favor of this work received by the Publishers,
we call attention to the following letter from
Professor Mahan,of the Gen. Theological Sem -
iuary, New-York :
New York , May sth , 1860.
Messrs. Sheldon & Cos.
Gentlemen, —It is with particular pleasure
that I add one to the many expressions of
thanks that you have no doubt received for
your invaluable contribution to the sound bib
lical and critical literature of the country, in
your excellent edition of Dr. Olshausen's Com
mentary on the New Testament. Os the very
high merits of the original nothing need be said
at the present day. Your American edition
shows a care in the translation, and an amount
of judgment and good taste in the general get
ting up, which decidedly add to those merits,
and render the work in its present shape a
treasure to be desired by students of every
name and every shade of opinion. I give this
testimony not the less willingly that there is
much in Olshausen’s interpretations from which
I dissent, and much more that I deem unsatis
factory and insufficient, In a work, however,
as thoroughly honest, learned, conscientious,
and truly Christian in its tone, and with so
many proofs on the author’s part of a genuine
gift of interpretation, blemishes of this kind
are rather a spur to wakeful reading than any
solid objection to the book as a whole.
A ery truly yours, M. Mahan,
Prof, of Fee. H. in the Geu. The. Sem., X. Y.
To the Baptist Ministers of Georgia.
Brethren, will you not help to extend the
circulation of the Index ?
It is your paper aud we hope it is an instru
ment for good. To make it such shall be our
aim. We promise that its toue, tho’ bold and
independent, shall be such as you will not ob
ject to ; and it shall be a co-adjutor with you
to spread evangelical truth, sound doctrine and
to save souls.
Want of Space.
Being requested to copy Prof. Melt’s article
from the “Landmark Banner,” we were ne
cessitated to leave out the “Review” this week.
Georgia ahead oj A.iabatna•
We see in the receipts for Indian Missions,
from 17th March to 15th May, ’GO, published
in the S. W. Baptist, that Ga. has contributed
$545 40, aud Alabama $164 50. Our sister
State must look well to it, or we will not per
mit her to “bear off” that “Banner”—we shall
certainly make the effort. Remember this
Georgians, and be liberal in your Missionary
contributions tbis year. To this end we urge
you to make your July appointments in fe nod
time and attend to them faithfully, and let ti e
prayerful spirit be stirred up to the utmost, and
the giving spirit also. Urge on your churches,
Bro. D : emulation in such things is glorious
emulation. Rom. 11: 14. But, dear Brother,
we must tell you plainly that we were pained
at the spirit of sarcasm manifested in your last
issue. What will result ? Bro. W. will re
ply, and you will retort, and where, where will
it end ?
Ah, Bro. D is it not barely possible that ‘‘ye
know not what manner of spirit ye are of?”
Is there not “a more excellent way?” A way
of “provoking one another to love and
good works'’ and of being “ at peace among
yourselves 1” Is it not better to “walk in love,”
letting “brotherly love continue,” and being
“kindly affeetioned one to another, in honor
preferring one another ?” “Letting all bitter
ness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and
evil speaking be put away from you, with all
malice ; and being kind one to another, tender
hearted, forgiving one another?” “Now, there
fore, there is utterly a fault among you, why
do ye not rather take wrong ?” “Now we ex
hort you, brethren, be patient toward one an
other ; see that none render evil for evil unto
any ; but ever follow that which is good, both
among yourselves and to all,” “ not rendering
evil for evil, nor railing for railing ; but, con
trariwise, blessing;” and, ‘‘if it be possible, live
peaceably with all men”; but if you must
strive, “strive together for the faith of the Gos
pel” m amity and unanimity. Ah, brethren,
times are too critical and precarious for the
watchmen on Zion’s walls to be warring with
one another, rather than against the hosts of
darkness. We beseech you to take what we
have written in a good spirit, and if ye reply,
let it be from your closets on your knees, and
we will not fear to read it.
The Good Work Begun.
In order to give his brethren a chance to re
joice with him, Bro. Jno. G. Taylor announces
that as one of the Houston missionaries he
“In the latter part of Feb. last, made an at
tack upon a Universal stronghold on Red Bluff
Coffee co I preached there last week, three
days, and baptized 10, received by vouchers 4,
amounting to 14.”
He adds that the prospect is bright, and re
quests his brethren to pray for his continued
success.

Dedication of Ellaville Baptist Church.
On the morning of the 27th of April, there
assembled a large and intelligent congrega
tion in Ellaville to witness the dedication ser
vices of the occasion. Elder Wm. Ross opened
the service by presenting an appropriate and
earnest prayer to God for His blessings upon
the present congregation, and especially the
Church that worship in that place. Elder J.
11. Corley, of Eatonton, then delivered the
dedication sermon from Rev. 11th ch., Ist, 2d,
and 3d verses. After the sermon, (which oc
cupied the time of the congregation for some
thing over two hours), Elder James Perryman
offered some very appropriate remarks and
then made the closing prayer.
The brethren in Ellaville have indeed a
handsome little building, which docs credit to
the place, and especially to the builder, Rev.
G. W. Weekly. Mr. R. B. McWhorter pre
sented the Church a fine Pulpit Bible, which
we trust may be a constant lamp to the con
gregation, and a special blessing to the donor.
In conclusion we say to bro. J. Stallings,
the Pastor, may God bless you, my brother
and give you abundant success in Ellaville.

A subscriber writes from that place : “Crops
in S. W. Texas are quite good indeed, and far
mers are buoyed up with flattering hopes.
Wharton is situated upon the Colorado riv
er, and is a pleasant village. Our house of
worship is not yet completed. Brother Ilill
yer, (a brother to S. G. Hillyer, of Penfiold,)
is our Pastor.”

We are glad to learn that the Baptist church
in this place is being revived. One has been
baptized and more candidates are expected.—
Rev. A. Sherwood is conducting the meeting.
To Contributors.
We have several Communications from
friends who ask us to “correct and con
dense’’ : this we can never find time to
do; and if- the Communications must lie
over until we condense them they may
be considered “indefinitely postponed.”
And we will say of contributions written
on both sides of the sheet, that they also
run a great risk of being postponed indefi
nitely.
We are over-crowded with “copy” and
our friends when they send au article
must wait until we can insert it. Wesay
this with all good feeling. Note the pre
sent issue. It is nearly all original mat
ter. We do hope to have the Index en
larged so that we can accommodate our
friends and obtain a fairer chance of doing
full justice to our position. Now, if eve
ry subscriber will just write to us and find
out how much he owes , and pay up, or, if
he is doubtful, remit at once, we will be
able to enlarge next January, and make
the Index what it ought to be.

Cotton is King—and Pro-Slavery
Arguments,
By E. X. Elliott, LL. D., President of Planters’
College, Miss. Printed in Augusta, Ga., by
Pritchard, Abbott & Loomis, 1800. Price, SO.
This is a great book and one to which we will
ingly call the attention of our readeis ; for, at tbis
time, when the subject of slavery is receiving so
much of public attention, and when so many at
tacks are made upon it as a divine institution, it
becomes all Southerners to be able to rest thtir
minds upon that which will convince their own
consciences that the institution is scriptural, and
therefore right. That they may do so, let them
consult “The Bible Argument; or, Slavery in the
Light of Divine Revelation,” in this book by
Thornton Springfellow, D. D., of Ya. Also, “Lib
erty and Slavery ; or, Slavery in the Light of Mor
al and Political Philosophy,” by Albert Taylor
Bledsoe, LL. D., of Ya. In “The Influence of
Slavery in Social Life,” by Chandler Harper, of S.
0., it will be proved that slavery is the sole cause
of civilizition. Gov. Hammond’s (of S. C.) letters
to Mr. Clarkson, of England, form an interesting
part of the Book. Dr. Cartwright’s “Ethnology of
the African Race,” and David Christy’s “Economi
cal Relations of Slavery,” and Dr. Hodges’ (of
Princeton,) Bible Argument on Slavery, leave no
thing else to be desired on the subject, but the fa
mous “Dred Scott decision,” and “The Fugitive
Slave Law,” both of which are given in the volume.
The whole forms a Library on this subject,
which the Statesman, the Philosopher, the Scholar
and the Christian should possess and peruse.
The Cattle Disease.—Tho cattle disease
now raging in Eastern Massachusetts, prevail
ed in England from 1744 to 1755. In Notting
hamshire 40,000 head of cattle died in six
months; in Cheshire 30,000. During the third
year ofthc disease £135,000 were paid outofthe
public treasury as a recompense for slaughter
ed cattle. In 1857, in forty-three villages in
Holland, 14,000 head of cattle died or were
killed.
GREAT TORNADO.
Augusta, Ga., June 0. —The tornado which
passed over Chicago was more destructive
than was at first supposed. It travelled nine
ty miles in lowa, seventy miles in Illinois, and
extended to portions of Missouri and Ken
tucky. As far as known, over one hundred
and fifty persons were killed, and proper
ty estimated at more than one million of dol
lars was destroyed. In one instance, a train
of ten cars was lifted from the track and
dashed to pieces. It is impossible, in a short
dispatch to give the details.

Near Island Creek, Hancock co., Ga., on Mon
day the 28th of May, 1800, Mildred W. Palmer,
who, after fifty-nine years of uninterrupted connu.
bial felicity with her husband, Israel Palmer, who
still survives, had she lived until the 10th day of
next July,she would have been seventy-nine years
of age.
Aunt Milly, by which name she was familiarly
called, was a native of Virginia, and removed to
the neighborhood of Island Creek in the early set
tlement of this State, and here lived until her
death.
She united herself with the church at Island
Creek, and was baptized by Eld. J. Barnes, in Octo
ber, 1827. Since that time she has ever lived the
life of a devoted and exemplary Christian. She
was an own sister to the late sainted Vincent San
ders, of Greensboro’, and the last one of the fami
ly. Those lovely Christian virtues that so marked
Uncle Vincent, as a true gentleman and genuine
Christian, were no less possessed by Aunt Milly.—
But she has gone to join him in praising Him in
whose sight such a death was precious. Her last
illness she bore withoTTt a murmur or a groan, say
ing that her trust was in Him above. Then “pre
cious iu the sight of the Lord is the death of his
saints.”
A most excellent aud appropriate funeral dis
course, prior to interment, was preached at the
house ot deceased, by Elder J L. Warren, from
the above words, Ps. 216: 15. S.
Oi Dysentery, at his residence in Linton, Han
cock co., on the 16th of Msy, Cyrus C. King, in
tlie 25th year of his age.
Though the subject of this notice had never
made a public profession of religion, yet there w'as
something very remarkable connected with his
case. Having but recently removed to Linton and
commenced a mercantile business, with bright fu
ture prospects, in the midst of health, he informs
his mother that his time on earth is short, not to
trouble herself about him, that all would be well,
without giving any reason for so saying. But a
day or two before he was stricken down, he com
municates the same sad intelligence to his affection
ate wife, tells her what to name their infant child,
regretting the separation from her and the two lit
tle ones, so young and so dear to him, admonish
ing her not to be troubled, that it would all be
well with him, that it had to be so.
During his sickness which was of the most ex
crutiative character, not a murmur escaped his lips,
frequently remarking that all would be well, say
ing to his mother but a short time before he died,
that all was well that he loved everybody.
Cyrus had not a known enemy, but was univer
sally esteemed and beloved by all who knew him.
Strictly just, upright, and honest in all his business
relations. Asa son, none so obedient—as a grand
son, almost idolized by his gr.nd-parents, (one of
whom has since followed him) for his goodness.—
Asa husband none more affectionate and kind.—
But all is well with him. A Friend.

BURNETT’S TOILET PREPARATIONS.
Our readers are aware of tho superiority of Bur

and its success in obstinate cases of Dyspepsia,
Asthma, and general debility of the system, places
is arcing the most wonderful discoveries in medi

any remedy known for these complaints, in all
their various forms. The Oxygenated Bitters con
tain nothing which can intoxicate ; and the medi
cine lias no similarity whatever to the various al
coholic mixtures disguised as “Bitters,” being
purely a medical compound, in which are combin
ed the most valuable remedial agents, and a pecu
liar oxygenated property, hitherto unknown, but
highly efiicacious in all complaints arising from
weakness and derangement, or prostration of the
stomach. We h ar of fresh triumphs every daj 7

Much has been said of the Eastern Esculapius’

ed in searching the boundaries of the earth, for its
antidote. With vast labor has he canvassed the
products of sea and land, through both continents
until he has discovered that combination of reme
dials which expurges this human rot and corrup
tion fronr the system. This new invention we now
otter in our columns under the name of Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, although its virtues are from sub
stances for a more active aud affectual than Sarsa

T HE OXYGENATED BITTEUS.
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Heart Burn, Water Brash,
Sour Stomach, Jaudice, Flatulency, General De
bility, &c., find a ready relief and speedy cure
in this great remedy.
THE OXYGENATED BITTERS
Are believed by many who have been cured of the
above complaints, to be the only medecine which
the materia medica affords for their infallible cure.
It is not an alcoholic preparation, which, while
giving a momentary stimulus, reduces the system
iu the same ratio ; but one distinct and different
from any medical preparation ever compounded,
and which will, in most cases, extract the disease
by the roots and restore the patient to pristine
health. In proof of which, testimony of the very
highest and unexceptionable character is present
ed.
RELIABLE TESTIMONY.
We call the attention of the reader to the fol
lowing letter from President Smith, of Wesleyan
University:
Middletown, Conn., Feb. 28, 1859.
Messrs. Seth W. Fowle & Cos.,
Gentlemen:—l first made use of the Oxygena
ted Bitters some seven or eight years since. Hav
ing suffered for twenty years from a form of Dys
pepsia, which was attended with a nervous head
ache, on an average of not less than one day in a
week. I was induced by the unpretending recom
mendation of I)r. Green “to try one bottle and if
no benefit was received to discontinue the use.”
The use of one bottle warranted a further trial,
to the extent of some three or four, with a care
ful observance of the accompanying directions.—
The result was an almost entire relief from the
usual dyspeptic symptoms and their depressing,
painful consequences. I believe these Bitters pro
duced an entire change in the habits of my system
and upon the active energies of the digestive or
igins. I now deem myself as exempt from Dyspep
sia as most persons. These Bitters have also been
of service to other members of my family.
Very respectfully yours,
AUGUSTUS W. SMITH.

From the N. Y. Examiner.
“We have read the book with uncommon inter
est. The tale is well told, and its development is
natural. It is intended to iliustrute the trials and
triumphs of a young wife, iu maintaining her prin
ciples against the intolerance of the open commu
nion friends of her husband ; and this i3 done so
as to preserve unfailing freshness in the narrative,
and to throw a flood of light on the principles and
practices of the Baptist denomination. We ex
pect to hear that the book will have multitudes of
readers.”
From the Religious Herald, Richmond.
“ We Lave been borne through the perusal of
this book with unflagging interest. Like ‘ Theo
dosia Ernest,’ it is designed for the illustration and
defense of our denominational principles; and
without detracting in the slightest from the envi
able reputation of that work, we do not hesitate
to pronounce this more ornate in style, more artis
tic in plot, more thrilling in incident. It cannot
fail of a wide popularity and an extensive circula
tion.”

a work on Baptism. The Society published it in
the Swedish language, and sent “large numbers to
Sweden ; where its work has been so marked and
even marvellous, that the Society have been indu
ced to publish it in English. Many, if not most of
the ninety Baptist pastors so recently taised up in
Sweeden, date their conversion to Baptist senti
ments to the reading of this work. The discussion
is eminently Scriptural, original and thorough.—
It is sold for 60 cents.
II

The Oxygenated Bitters.
The qualities of this medicine have placed it up
on an imperishable foundation. In destroying dis
ease, and inducing health, it has no parellel.
For the following Complaints these Bitters are
a Specific, viz : Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, Heart
Burn, Acidity, Costiveness, Loss of Appetite,
Headache, and'General Debility.
In many sections of our country this prepara
tion is extensively used by phsicians in their prac
tice, and it seems to have restored many to health
who were apparently beyond the reach of the heal
ing art.
York, Livingston co., N. Y., Oct. 1,1859.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle & Co.—
Sirs—Dyspepsia, with its numberless associates,
took up its abode with me, in opposition to the
skill ot many of the most celebrated phvsicians,
until the spirit was willing (if no relief could bo
found) to surrender and bid adieu to its earthly
tabernacle, when I was induced, by the urgency of
a friend, to try TIIE OXYGENATED BITTERS,
little dreaming that the Gilead was in the bound
less sea of patent medicines, as it was the first
draught I was ever induced to quaff. But thanks
be to God, it was a balm, and a most efficient and
grateful one too. The most aggravating symptoms
in my case were immoderate and irregular beat
ing of the heart immediately alter taking food, at
tended with great prostration, and very frequent
ly violent attacks of palpation, lasting from twelve
to twenty-four hours, leaving the stomach so per
fectly powerless that even a spoonful of milk or
rice water would seem burdensome. I commen
ced by taking half a teaspoonful—the extent was
a full one. I was very persevering until I had ta
ken three bottles ; since then, at intervals, I have
taken two more.
I began to realize its genial effects immediately;
besides, it is extremely grateful and refreshing
as a beverage, which is a charm that but few med
icines can bost of. I would, sirs, most heartily
and earnestly beg all who are afflicted with Dys
pepsia in any form to test your Oxygenated Bit
ters, as I do esteem them invaluable.
Very Respectfully, Miss M. STOCKING.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it docs cure this afflicting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of more service to those sub
ject to this infection. If taken in season it expels
it from the system as it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which arc induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita
tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics,
Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This “ Ague Cure ”
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term accliniatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this “ Ague Cure ”
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

assure the people its quality is kept up to the best
it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to
do for their relief all it has ever been found to do.
