GEORGIA FEMALE COLLEGE.
Madison, Sept. 22nd, 1860.
Dear Brc. Boykin:
A friend of mine who is a good scholar for
his years, and a successful teacher, is inclined
to change his location. If any of our breth
ren wish to secure the services of one capable
of teaching classes and mathematics, as well
as English studies, they may address me, and
I will forward their letters. My friend is un
married and a Georgian.
Yours truly,
GEO. Y. BROWNE.
The following is an extract from a letter
written by the Rev. J. S. Holme, pastor of the
Pierrepont street, Baptist church Brooklyn,
N. \ to the Journal Messenger , Cincin
nati, Ohio, and speaks volumes in favor of that
world-renowned medicine, Mrs. Winslow’s
Soothing Syrup for Children Teething:
“We see an advertisement in your columns
of M rs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Now we
never said a word in favor of a patent medi
cine before in our life, but we feel compelled
to say to your readers that this is no humbug
—we have tried it and know it to be all it
claims. It is probably one of the most suc
cessful medicines of the day, because it is one
of the best. And those of your readers who
have babies can’t do better than to lay in a
supply.’’
Sold.
The Southern Presbyterian is sold, and will
be removed to Columbia, S. C., and put under
the care of Rev. A. A. Porter, of Ala.
Missionaries to Africa.
On Saturday morning, Sept. Ist., Rev. Hen
ry Martyn Bridgman, of Northampton, with
his wife, embarked from Boston in the bark
Gemsbok for South Africa. He is to join the
mission of the A. B. C. F. M., among the Zu
lis.
Correction.
The types lately made us say that 54 were
received into the church at Hamilton —“37 by
letter and 51 by baptism”—it should have
been “3 by letter and 51 by baptism.” Bro.
JavisG. Johnson sent us the account. We
were away that week and got someone else to
read our proof.
Associations.
We shall attend the Columbus Association ;
and we beg our friends to come prepared to
settle their bills. Those who do not come
should send their subscriptions. Will pastors
be kind enough to offer in conference to carry
this money, and will they not advise their
brethren to subscribe ?
We will attend the Ebenezer and the Heph
zibah, and the Bethel and perhaps the
Friendship.
Bro. Haygood will attend the Georgia, the
Houston, and perhaps the Hepbzibah.
For all to read.
Through misunderstanding, a message Lo
cum Tenens made a slight error last week in
saying Dr. Baker’s series would begin in this
paper. The Doctor has been travelling in
Ya.—lias just returned home, and says be will
go to work immediately on the series, and
forward them to me. What he has to do, he
generally does quickly. He says Virginia is
a unit on the question involving the right of a
church to receive one unjustly excluded from
another church. [A right that a church ought
to be exceedingly cautious and chary in the
use of.—Ed. Index.] Ido not believe there
are half a dozen in the State that would deny
the right. I heard of but one in Richmond.
This reminds of a quasi-message sent us by a
certain one to brethren Dawson & Sherwood,
who affirm that their theory is the old one.
“Tell them that Sands who edited in Mer
cer’s day, says they are mistaken —that Mer
cer and Meredith agreed with him 20 years
ago, and that he taught then as now.”
“The Herald of Truth.”
This weekly journal has been published
now nearly a year and a half; and we have
learned to prize it. It is a weekly paper in
quarto form, and brings out every week , at
least three sermons by the first class preachers
of the world, besides much interesting edito
rial and other matter.
Sermons from Europe are received by each
mail ateamer, and are generally published
within about three weeks from the date of
their delivery. The present is a good time to
subscribe, as the Second Volume commenced
in March, and back numbers can be supplied.
Terms, $2.00 per annum ; two copies to ODe
Post-Office, $3.00, in advance.
Teacher.
A single lady, a Virginian, who can exhib
it the best recommendations, desires to obtain
a situation as teacher. She is a member of
the Baptist Church. She prefers not to teach
music unless the school is small; but is pre
pared to teach the usual branches of educa
tion. She is of a highly respectable family
and desires to live farther South from the 10th
of October the 10th of June. She will expect
a salary of 600 or 800 dollars, according to
circumstances. Address
HARRIET A. BAKER,
Genito, Powhattan Cos., Va.
Redeeming our promise.
According to promise that we will furnish
interesting articles for our readers, we an
nounce that we shall begin next week, per
haps, the publication of a series of articles on
Idoniram Judson — the modern apostle, that
will be of great value and interest. The se
ries will run through six or eight numbers,
and we caution our readers to preserve every
article, as the whole will form a popular sketch
of the life and labors of that great and good
man.
Indulgence asked.
We ask indulgence for apparently crowding
our columns without a due regard to variety.
The truth is we are travelling most of the time
and cannot give more than two days out of the
week to the paper. When in office, all we
can manage to perform is to answer letters,
and arrange matter for the press. When the
associations are over we shall organize anew
state of things in the paper : we shall arrange
our matter as to give the paper a more inter
esting aspect, and lay down certain rules that
will make the paper more readable, but which
lack of time prevents us carrying out now.
Revision Agency.
Eld. W. T. Russell, agent of the Revision
Association, will be present at the appoint
ments of Eld. W. N. Chaudoin :

than assist it at once
New Books.
Our Baptist publishers in Boston, Messrs.
Gould &. Lincoln, are about adding to their
choice list of books another, entitled “The
Pulpit of the Resolution, or the Political Ser
mons of the Period of 1776.” It will contain
several discourses as specimens of the pulpit
eloquence of the time, and a historical intro
duction by the editor, showing the influence of
the pulpit, in all our early history, in forming
the public sentiment which was so fully mani
fested in the Revolution. The same publish
ers are also about to issue “The Life of
Trust,” by the Rev. George Muller, iu which
he narrates the wonderful dealings of God
with him, not only in his remarkable conver
sion, but in prompting him to open, without
pecuniary means, a large orphan asylum, the
wants of which have been met from day to
day by voluntary contributions, often anony
mous, in answer to prayer. They have also
in press another little work, written more
than three hundred years ago, by Aonio Pa
leario, the interesting history of which has of
late been noticed in some of the public prints.
It is entitled “The Benefit of Christ’s Death.”
Prof. Phe'p’s “Still Hour,” one of their re
cent publications has been eminently success
ful, and eighteen hundred copies have lately
been ordered to supply every family in one of
the large interior towns in Massachusetts.
Sheldon Sf Cos.
This firm is determined to be ahead of all
others. Merely to give the names of their
new books, weekly, would confuse our read
ers, and they always publish good books. —
We have just received from them, Everett’s
life of Washington, a handsome quarto of 350
pages, with a medalion likeness of Everett
himself. We anticipate a rich treat in its pe
rusal.
They send us also, The Life and Letters of
Emily C. Judson, by Prof. A. C. Kendrick. —
This is a book of 425 pages, and we think
will prove as interesting as the best of novels.
We are reminded by the author of this book
of the Life of Rev. Nathaniel Kendrick, pub
lished by the Am. Bap. Society. We are
reading this work, and have become deeply
interested. It is a book for youug ministers
and Christians generally. Beautiful in style>
handsome in print and pious in tone, it is cer
tain to be largely circulated and do great
good.
Speaking of books reminds us of a very
interesting X. Y. letter from our friend
“occasional,” treating of the many new
books of the season. The letter would
have been published but lor an accident.
We hope he will send another soon.—
The following works are just issued by
Sheldon & Cos., of X. Y.
Life of George Washington, by Hon. Ed

The Letters of Dr. Tyng are the result
of forty years’ experience as superinten
dent of one of the largest and most suc
cessful Schools in our land. A portion of
these letters have already appeared in the
columns of the X. Y. Independent, but
many of them will now be published for
the first time. Those who have read the
letters in the Independent will be glad to
have them in a more permanent form.

IN REGARD TO BRO. CAMPBELL, STATE
Evageust.
Bro. Boykin—At a State meeting of the
Executive Committee, it was thought
best to call attention to the action of the
Convention, and invite brethren and the
churches to act upon that subject.
Bro. Campbell is already in the field,
and dependenCupon contributions for his
salary.
Last year we did not realize the full
amount, and will not this,unless the chur
ches and Associations take immediate
steps to raise it. The Committee, there
fore, recommend early action in his be
half, believing that his work is a just one
and deserving the cordial co-operation of
every one who loves the cause of Christ.
Respectfully, D. E. Butler.

And can this restless, roving mind,
A place of joyful labor find,
In all these wide extensive plains,
O’er which the power of darkness reigns ?
Yes, there is room for every one,
Who lives beneath the shining sun,
To work in this extensive plain,
Until the truth of God shall reign.
Then, where is my appointed place,
To labor for the chosen race ?
Where shall I go to find a home,
On this green earth o’er which I roam ?
Shall I begin about me here,
The cross of Jesus Christ to rear?
Or shall I go far hence to dwell,
And leave the friends I love so well ?
If Jesus speaks let me comply
With the stern mandate of the sky.
If he will show my feet the way,
I’ll follow him from day to day.
Tho’ he direct me far away,
I will the gentle voice obey—
Supported by his saving grace,
I hope to fear no mortal face.
There let me labor till I die, -
The cross of Christ to raise so high,
That men may look and learn to love
That friend who lives for them above.

DUFAVEL’S ADVENTURE.
One morning, early in September, 1836, as
Dufavel, one of the laborers employed in sink
ing a well at a place near Lyons, in France, was
about to descend in order to begin his work,
one of his companions called out to him not to
go down, as the ground was giving way, and
threatened to fall in. Dufavel, however, did not
profit by the warning, but exclaiming, “I shall
have plenty of time to go down for my basket
first,” he entered tho well, which was sixty-two
feet in depth. When about half way down he
heard some large stones falling, but he never
theless continued his descent, and reache die
bottom in safety. After placing two p ; •
plank in hid basket, he was preparing to ie-. -
cend, when he suddenly heard a crashing above
his head, and looking up, lie saw five of the side
supports of the well giving way at once.
Greatly alarmed, lie shouted for assistance as
loudly as he was able ; but the next moment a
large mass of the sandy soil fell upon him, pre
cluding the possibility of his escape. By a sin
gular good fortune, the broken supports fell to
gether in such a manner that they formed a
species of arch over his head, and prevented the
sand from pouring down, which must have
smothered him at once. To all appearance, how
ever, he was separated from the rest of the world,
and doomed to perish by suffocation or famine.
He had a wife and child, who now came into
his mind, and the thought of them made him
feel still more bitterly his imprudent obstinacy
in descending into the well after being warned
of the danger to which he was exposing him
self.
But although Dufavel regretted the past and
feared for the future, he did not give way to
despair. Calm and self-possessed, he raised
his heart in prayer to God and adopted every
precaution in his power to prolong his life.—
His basket was fastened to the cord by which
he had descended, and when his comrades
above began to pull the rope, he observed that,
in their vain efforts, they were causing his
basket to strike against the broken planks
above him in such a manner as to bring down
stones and other things, lie therefore cut the
rope with his knife, which he had no sooner
done than it was drawn up by those at the
top of the well; and when his friends saw the
rope so cut, they knew that he must be alive,
and determined to make every exertion to save
him.
The hole made by the passage of this rope
through the sand that had fallen in was of the
greatest use to Dufavel ; through it he receiv
ed a supply of fresh air, and, after a while, his
friends contrived to convey food to him, arid
even to speak to him. Os course, he was in
utter darkness ; but he was enabled, in, a cu
rious manner, to keep a reckoning of time. A
large fly was shut up with him, and kept him
company all the time that he remained there.
When he heard it buzzing about he knew it
was day, and when the lly was silent he knew
that it was night. The fly boarded as well
as lodged with him; he was as careful as
he could be not to interrupt it while taking its
share of his meal; when he touched it, it would
fly away buzzing as if offended, but soon return
again. He often said afterwards that the com
pany of this fly had been great consolation to
him.
More skillful persons than the poor laborers
of the village of Champvert were soon engaged
in the attempt to liberate Dufavel. The muni
cipal authorities of Lyons procured the assist
ance of a band of military miners, who, under
the direction of experienced officers, began to
form a subteranean passage for the purpose of
relieving him. Prayers for his safety were of
fered uj) in the churches of Lyons, and the most
intense-interest prevailed. It was found neces
sary to erect a barricade, and station a guard of
soldiers round the scene of the accident, to keep
off the flocking crowd Irom the neighborhood,
all eager to obtain news and see what was being
done.
l’he cavity at the bottom of the well, over
which the wooden rafters had so providentially
formed a sort of roof, was at first about seven
feet in height; but owing to the sand constant
ly running through, and passing down from the
roof above, by the third day the space became
so small that the poor man could no longer stand,
or even sit upright, but was crushed upon the
ground in a peculiarly painful manner, his legs
doubled under him and his head pressed on one
side, against his left shoulder.
His arms, however, were free, and he used
his knife to cut away such parts of the wood
work as particularly incommoded him, and to
widen the hole the passage of the rope had
made. Through this hole, by means of a small
bottle, soup and wine were let down to him, and
after a few days, what was quite as important,
an arrow bag to receive and bring to the surface
the constantly accumulating sand, which must
soon have smothered him if this means of re
moving it had not been devised, and he had not
had strength and energy for such a painful la
bor as the constantly filling and refilling the
bag soon became. Os any pressure from above
would have forced in the temporary roofso that
nothing could be attempted in the way of re
moving the mass of sand, etc., that had fallen
in. They dared not to touch the surface above;
but they contrived, by means of a tube, to speak
to him. A cousin of his, himself a well digger,
was let down for this purpose. The man spoke
to Dufavel, and assured him the miners were
making progress, and would soon reach him.—
He inquired after his wife and child, and charg
ed his cousin to tell her, from him, to be of
good cheer and not lose heart. At this time he
had been a week in the well.
Day succeeded day, and still the expectations
of the miners were deceived. They worked
night and day, but such was the treacherous
nature of the soil, that neither pickaxe nor shov
el could be used; the foremost miner worked
upon his knees, insertring cautiously a flat piece
of wood into the ground, and afterward gather
ing up with his hands and passing to those be
hind him the sand which he thus disturbed.—
On the twelfth day of his imprisonment, they
calculated they were only twelve inches from
him, and yet it took them two days longer be
fore they were able to reach him. Every min
ute the ground was giving way, and it sometimes
took them many houre to repair the damage
that a single moment had produced. Besides,
they felt it necessary to proceed with the utmost
caution, when they approached JTufavel; for
there was great reason to fear, whenever an
opening was made, the mass of sand above his
head would fall down and suffocate him.
At length, about two o’clock on the morn
ing of Friday, September 16th, they made a
small opening into the well, just above his
shoulders. The poor man shouted for joy, and
was able, with his knife, to assist in extricating
himself. He was carefully conveyed along the
horrizontal gallery, and warpped in blankets
before he was drawn up into the open air. Sev
eral medical men were in attendance, and one
mmummfmmmm mot -- -f niTri - “ - , —’
of them had him convsyed to his house and put
to bed. * .. -
We will not attempt to describe Dufavel’s
happy meeting with his wife, nor the tears of
joy which he shed over his infant boy, who did
not at first recognize him, muffled as he was
obliged to be to protect him from the cold, and
his chin covered with a beard of more than a
fortnight’s growth. In the evening he was so
well that Doctor Bienvenu consented to his be
ing conveyed to his own home; and he was ac
cordingly transported thither in a litter,
ed by a great concourse of happy and thankful
spectators.

DIED.
In Brooks county, on tbe 16th day of Septem
ber, after a brief illness, Mr. George W. Dunham
in the fifty-third year of his age. His bereaved
family, consisting of an aged mother, a wife and
two children, with a large circle of affectionate
relatives and devoted friends, mourn their irre
parable loss. The deceased was a native of Liberty
county and a member of Sunbury Baptist church ;
highly esteemed and bearing through life an un
blemished reputation at home and abroad. A kind
and noble heart has ceased to beat on earth, but
those who loved him well, do humbly hope te
meet him again in a better and an eternal world,
where the mourner’s tear shall be dried and death
can never separate. A FRIEND.
After a painful illness of seven weeks, Stephen
Hopkins, youngest son of Mr. Hardy and Mrs Axie
C. Morgan, at tbe residence of his father in Lee
county, Ga., on the 15th of September, 1860, aged
three years, four months and ten days.
Could kind attentions and earnest prayers have
availed, the bright-eyed little Stephen would have
remained to gladden the hearts of his doting pa
rents, and to shed sunshine around the fire-side at
home; but his Heavenly Father ordained other
wise, and surely, the Judge of all the earth will do
right. Faith is satisfied with the assurance that it
is “well with the child,”
That he’s gone to inhabit those mansions prepared
“For all who are washed and forgiven,
And many young children are gathering there,
For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Departed this life in Warren County, Sept. 12th,
1860, Mrs. Sarah Beall, in the 78th year of her
age. *
Sister Beall joined the Baptist Church at Long
Creek by experience, on the 26th of May, 1811,
and from that time to her death, her pious walk
and Godly conversation denoted at all times that
she had been with Jesus. She was a woman, like
Mary of old, encumbered much with the things of
this world, having shortly after joining the church,
to bear the loss of a kind and affectionate com
panion, who had united himself to the church with
her. She was left with eight small children to raise
and educate, and well did she do it. She not only
acted out a mother’s part but a father’s also, and
trained up her children in the way she would have
them go, in all the various scenes of life that she
was called to pass. She sustained a high moral and
Christian deportment. She had the pleasure of see
ing several of her children united to the church,
and it is hoped that all will follow the example of
the mother, and be prepared to meet her where
parting will be no more. She was a kind parent,
kind and humane to her servants, kind to the sick
and afflicted, and was always, when able, punctual
to the house of God. But she is gone, as we trust,
from this w orld of sorrow to the haven of eternal
rest, and we hope all her children will endeavor to
be prepared to meet their dear parents in the world
of eternal glory never more to part.

portant advantages ; amoug which the opportuni
ties which it will afford them of hearing the de
bates in Congress and in the Supreme Court on
important subjects, must be obvious to all.” To
these advantages there are now added those of
free access to the Libraries of Congress, to the
national collections in mineralogy, natural history,
&c., and to the Lectures of the Smithsonian Insti
tution.
