BAPTIST FEMALTT COLLEGE.
We call attention to the new advertisement
of this Institution; and we feel that we can re
commend the College from our knowledge of
its conductors. The President appeals to the
friends of the College to stand by it. The
Circular of this Institution has reached us,
which we will notice another time.
MARIETTA FEMALE COLLEGE.
The next session of this College will com
mence on Monday, Jan. 14th, 1861. Please
take notice, friends all. Bro. T. B. Cooper
is at the head of this Institution.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX.
The fortieth volume of the time-honored
Index appears before you, dear readers, with
anew Heading, indicatory of a determination
to make greater headway than in the past.
Recuperated by its three weeks rest,it comes
as a strong man prepared to run a race. Un
able because of the stringency of the times, to
enlarge as it hoped, it is determined, even in
these hard times to maintain its own; and it
holds out to each one of its readers the cheer
ful hand of welcome and bids to each a bright
and happy New Year.
Confident that it will be met by a smile of
gratification it unfolds itself to the gaze of each
and says, Let us continue to be friends in spite
of Hard Times.
And it offers a warm Baptist heart, throb
bing for the prosperity of Zion and the wel
fare of the Baptist cause; and it extends the
friendly hand to point the right way, and if
need be, contend for that way.
It invites attention to its series on Religious
Liberty, which it promises shall grow in inter
est and value, even unto the close. It will
touch upon the origin of Religious Liberty,
Roger Williams, Religious Liberty and Slave
ry', Religious Liberty in Now England, Relig
ious Liberty and the Federal Constitution,
Religious Liberty and Infaut Baptism, New
England History, &.C., &c. And it requests
notice to be taken of the following subjects
that will be treated of, without intermission
hereafter, by Dr. Baker, in bis “Rights of the
Churches.”
The Constituents of Baptist Churches. —
Rules of Order and Confessions of Faith.—
Church Discipline, what it includes, viz: in
struction, practice, censures, &c. Os the offi
cers of a church —The right to appoint, try and
exclude them—Church Councils —lawful, and
often expedient, but not essential —not author
itative —The agency of the Church in propa
gating the gospel—no right to restrict others—
The obligation rests upon Christians in their
individual character —also the right of seces
sion. Excommunication, what it implies—How
far the act of one church should influence or
bind another —Appeals —not allowable in a le
gal sense, but allowable in its ordinary sense —
Female communion—Female Voting—Rebap
tism—Associations, their objects, rights and
usurpations. Other mooted questions will be
discussed.
We promise soon a highly interesting series
to be called “ The Pastorate in action” from
one of Georgia’s best writers and most practi
cal men. This series will be full of interest
and will abound in practical suggestions and
incidents drawn from experience.
Especially do we invite attention to an early
forthcoming History of Southern Baptist Mis
sions., that will dispel all ignorance on all points
of history, operations, past successes, present
condition, number and state of our missions
and missionaries, and the modus operandi of
sending contributions to the missionaries and
supporting them. This series will be most
valuable.
Our little friends will find the five numbers
of the Honeycomb Family highly entertaining,
and they must be careful to read them.
Reminiscences will continue some time lon
ger, and will increase in interest. A portion
of the paper will be devoted to the Unconvert
ed, and it will consist of a scries of short arti
cles which ministers are expected to exhibit to
the unconverted of their congregations.
The controversial tone that has appeared in
the paper of late was temporary only ; and as
anew year and anew volume begins, so does
the paper intend to make renewed exertions
to extend the sphere of practical Christianity
among professors and non-professors, and to
increase the information of its readers in re
gard to what is going forward among the Chris
tians on earth, and in reference to the victo
ries being achieved by the hosts of Zion.
No pains will be spared to make the paper
just what every Christian family needs. It
will be emphatically A Religious News paper.
It will be out-spoken, independent and fear
less in the defence of truth and right. Its ar
ticles will be short, pithy and practical.
contributions.
Never before have we been able to make so
ample and satisfactory arrangements for edi
torial assistance and stated contributions, as
we have now effected. We are safe in saying
that no paper has stronger thinkers and abler
writers than some now engaged to write for
our columns. Valuable communications from
pastors and others in different, ports of the
country will also appear from time to time.
ODR NEWS DEPARTMENT.
Great prominence will be given to revival,
general religious and denominational intelli-
gence. Much pains will be taken to collect all
important news of the day,at home and abroad.
But enough is promised for one issue. While
the Index will thus strive to please and in
struct, it expects every reader to do his duty in
procuring new subscribers and paying up sub
scriptions.
A FEW WORDS ON THAT POINT.
Bear in mind, readers of the Index, old
friends and new friends, that the Index can
not be printed without —money, and that this
money must be forthcoming in hard times as
well as in flush times and, furthermore, that it
must come from the subscribers to the paper.
We are trying our best, through the mails, to
let those of our subscribers who are indebted
to the Index, know it; and, of course, then,
this appeal is mostly to them; and to them we
say, Are you who profess to love the Index go
ing to let it suffer ? Will you, who profess to
love the Index, inflict an injury upon it ? Will
you see it in need and not help it, by paying
what you owe to it ?
‘‘ Times are very hard.”
We know it, dear reader, and hence we urge
you to strain a point and raise and remit the
small sum you owe the Index ; for with it the
hill is sleep.
If every reader will but make one effort, and
remit at once', we will mount the ascent.
Friends of the Index, shall we call in vain ?
Georgia Baptists, will you let your Convention
organ become embarrassed for want of funds?
Convention men, we ask you to use your in
fluence in behalf of your paper.
“ What can we do?”
You can pay up if you think you owe or if
you’ve received a bill: you can pay in advance
for another year f'you can beg your friends to
remit; and you can induce others to subscribe
and send the money.
Pastors, we call on you emphatically to help
the Index. In various ways it helps you :
now is the time to reciprocate.
Conductors of our colleges, you are indebt
ed to the Index for various notices—return the
favor.
To each and all—to you, dear reader —we
say, Help the Index some way. Who will be
the first to say, “Our Editor’s appeal shall not
be in vain. 1 will not only send on $2,00, but
will work for the paper.”
January, February and March—3 months
before Convention, to work in; and then come
the summer months—what ye do, do quickly,
friends and brethren. We want to report a
full treasury and 5,000 subscribers at least, in
Athens.

TnE Religious Views of the Chinese Reb
els —More recent Intelligence.—ln the pre
sent state of uncertainty respecting the relig
ious tenets of the rebels in China, no reliable
information can fail to be welcome. We have
seen none that appears to be more authentic
than that contained in a letter of the Rev. An
drew P. Happer, D. D., one of the missionaries
of the Presbyterian board, at Canton, under
date of September 26, 1860, which is published
in the Presbyterian of the 22d inst. The latter
is a lengthy one, and we shall confine ourselves
to its most important statements. It is well
known that the rebellion has been advancing
in the heart of the Celestial empire for a num
ber of years; but the exact nature of the doc
trines of : ts adherents, as well as the measure
of its success, have been difficult for Europeans
to ascertain, because, in no place have the re
bel armies advanced to the sea-shore. Neither
merchants nor missionaries could reach them
without passing through a country still subjeet
to the power of the Emperor of China. Now
that the capital of the rebels is at Nankin, and
their predatory expeditions have extended to
Suchau (an immense city, of two million in
habitants), the missionaries at Shanghai find
themselves within sixty-five miles distance of
their outposts. As soon as it was practicable,
some of these devoted men visited Suchau, and
the report they brought back was in the high
est degree encouraging. “The most favorable
expectations were reawakened,” says Dr. Hap
per, “and some of the enthusiasm of 1853 was
re aroused in their behalf.’, These impressions
were confirmed by the receipt of a book, con
taining what would seem to be pretty clear
views on the subject of Christianity, of which
liberal extracts have already been published in
the Missionary Herald , and elsewhere. The
book was the composition of a . native, Hunt
Jin by name, a relative of the head chief, who,
for six years, had been a pupil of the mission
aries of the London Missionary Society at Hong
Kong. It comprised, among other matters, a
collection of some twenty hymns, derived from
a hymn book published by that society.
Dr. Happer calls attentions, however, to the
fact that this book was in manuscript; thereby
evincing that it had not received the approval
of the rebel chief or his council, who make a
bundant use of the art of printing te propagate
their cause. At most, he asserts, it can can
only be viewed as an expression of individual
opinion. One of the missionaries above refer
red to, Rev. Holmes, of the Southern Baptist
convention, resolved to go to the headquarters
of the rebellion at Nankin. He succeeded in
reaching the place, and remained there a full
week—a long time, compared with the few
hours which the missionaries previously spent
at Suchau. The result of his observation, we
are sorry to say, was far different from what
he had hoped. In his letter, addressed to the
North China Mail , he thus sums up the infor
mation gained: “I found, to my sorrow, noth
ing of Christianity “but its name, falsely appli
ed—applied to a system of most revolting idol
atry ; for whatever may be in their books, and
whatever they may have believed in times past,
I could not escape the conclusion that the sys
tem they now promulgate may be justly so styl
ed. Their idea of God is distorted until it is
inferior, if possible, to that entertained by the
Chinese idolators. Their idea of a Saviour is
low and sensual, and his honors are shared by
another. The Eastern King is the Saviour
from disease, as Jesus is the Saviour from sin.
The Holy Ghost is made a nonentity, poly
gamy is another dark feature: the Heavenly
King has thirty wives, and one hundred wo
men in his harem. The other kings are limited
to thirty wives each ; the high officers are a,low
ed to a plurality.” Mr. Holmes states that the
under chiefs xlaim that their king is the sec
ond Son of Ghid, in the same sense that Jesus
is the first begotton Son. They justify the
same adoration of him by saying “He is the
Son of God, and in worshipping him we wor
ship God.” They speak of the wife of the
Heavenly Father, when they call Heavenly
mother—of the wife ot Jesus, the Heavenly
sister in-law. In the worship, at which Mr.
Holmes was present, a roast pig, the body of
a goat, other offerings were laid out on tables
in the outer court.

It has been the object of the Principal to place
the Institute upon a basis founded on sound learn
ing and correct scholarship. It is not for him to
speak of the success of his efforts ; but he would
say that the accomplishment of so desirable an
end will be kept constantly in view. The depart
ment iu French and the introduction of Military
instruction deserves especial notice in this connec
tion. Hitherto, but little attention has been paid
in our schools to the study of the French Language.
This is, doubtless, owing to the fact, that the com
mercial intercourse of the Southern people with
European countries has been carried on mainly
through Northern agente. But in view of the
prospective direct trade, and the consequent inti
mate relations that will necessarily spring up be
tween the South and her trans-Atlantic neighbors,
the languages of France,Belgium, Spain, and Italy,
are invested, especially the first, with more than
usual interest It is to be hoped, therefore, that
before a knowledge of the French language be
comes a pelt want, cur people will see its impor
tance, and provide for its thorough acquisition.
It is unnecessary to say one word about the ad
vantages of Military instruction among our peo
ple. They are known and felt already. Tho
roughly compeut instructors have been secured to
fill each of the above departments. It is earnestly
hoped that these important changes in the curri
culum at Brownwood will be properly appreciated
by an intelligent community. Besides the most
thorough instruction, to those who desire it, iu
the Literature, there will be a daily exercise for
the entire school in colloquial French—by which
all may learn the language practically as an art,
and, it is believed, without loss of time or detri
ment iu other departments of learning. All, whose
parents do not direct otherwise, will receive in
struction in colloquial French. None will b* re
quired to unite with the Military contrary to his
wishes, nor allowed to withdraw from the compa
ny after having his name enrolled as a cadet. Any
one desiring it, may substitute th french ior eith
er the Classical or JSugiish course, without extra
charga—provided it shall be done at the beginning
of the term. 6
Special attention will also be given to the de
partment of Chemistry and its applications to Ag
riculture and Pharmacy. Students will here have
an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the
analysis of soils, mineral waters, &c., and the adap
tation of different soils to particular products.
For further particulars, or for a Catalogue con
taining the history and internal regulations of the
Institute, apply to the Principal.
