So far as the main position of the two armies is concerned, it re mains. but slightly changed. The enemy are still in force in the vicinity of Murfreesboro, while Gen. Johnston’s army continues at Tullahoma. The late movements of Rosen crans were not serious. It was announced that his object to unite with Gen. Grant and to concentrate their strength upon Vick burg. But it would not do to leave a mag azine in the rear, liable to be exploded by the touch of a febel match. The condition of things in Kentucky, and the West gener ally, would not warrant the abolitionists in giving us comparatively free access to those regions. . % Morgan, Van Horn, Humphrey Marshall, and Forrest, have reaped a heavy crop of abolitionists within the past ten days. On the 20th 3larch 31organ encountered the en cmy near 3lilton. The fight continued for five hours. The enemy were driven eight miles. Their loss was about two hundred killed and wounded ; ours about half as great. 31 iiton, we believe, is North of Duck River, and a little South-east of Murfrecs boro. Not long after this exploit of Morgan, Gapt. Lawrence Jones of his command cros sed the Cumberland Biver and captured a train of cars near Bowling Green, with a large number of Federal officers, and twen ty-five thousand dollars in funds. About the 22d ult., Van Horn, of Gen. Jenkin’s command, is reported to have captured the 14th Kentucky Regiment. The news from Gen. Humphrey 31arshall is confirmed by a surgeon from his command. * He st&tes that on the 22d of 31arch, Gen. 3larshall surroun ded and captured the entire command of Gen. Sam Carter, of Fast Tennessee notori ety. This is the Carter that made a success ful raid upon the Knoxville and East Ten nessee Railroad some time last winter and burnt several bridges. He was captured be tween Cumberland Gap and Bourbon coun ty, Ky., a rather indefinite locality, but such is the wording of the telegram. On the 25th of 3larch, Forrest made a dash upon Brentwood, nine miles in the rear of Franklin, capturing 800 prisoners, togeth er with arms, ammunition, Ac.. He destroy ed a large quantity of commissary stores, burnt the Railroad bridge, tore up the track’ and took 17 loaded wagons. Franklin is not more than twenty miles from Nashville, so that Forrest was not more than twelve miles from the city when these captures were made. Our cavalry have done splendid work during the winter campaign. By striking the enemy in rear, burning bridges, tearing up railroads, and cutting off supplies, they have so impede 1 his progress and crippled his operations that the winter has passed with out his having gained the least advantage. From Mississippi The news is quite as encouraging as from Tennessee. The Jackson Appeal says that the enemy have again appeared at Fort Pem berton. The abolitionists say that the Fort can not be attacked by infantry. They es timate our strength there at six thousand. Since the first attack our batteries have been greatly strengthened, and when the next as sault is made the enemy will meet with an other repulse. All the efforts in Northern 3lississippi are bent upon Vicksburg. Their experience in front of our batteries is by no means encouraging, hence their digging canals, and dredging passes to find a way to the rear of the • city. Their attempts will prove fruitless if they do not terminate in disaster. v At.-5 o’clock, P. M, on the 25th ult., four Yankee gunboats attempted to pass the up per batteries at Vicksburg. A vigorous fire was opened upon them driving The other two passed under fire of thF^bat almost every shot taking effect. One of them received'a-shotyn her causing her' to sink in .'fifteen ifw of th* escapee?. The jfl posed to be the‘Benton; was and had to*he toWed beyond the- guns by the Albatross. A few more ■f§|ff| will teach them to keep out of danger. NH are a stubborn race, and hard to learn. w3i dom. Their great* Western fleet of gilpboatl and iron-clads is no longer a terror to oft batteries. ■ No farther attempts ’ have beeh made at Port Hudson irfße the firing of the Mis sissippi. The two ships that passed Our bat teries at that time in a damaged condition have been trj ing to get out of their dilemma by going above Vicksburg or returning be low Port Hudson, but they are hemmed in on both sides. The northern papers are growing -somewhat impatient over the ope rations of their Western armies. An uneasy feeling in regard to the Yazoo fleet. The levees above Vicksburg are flooding the Federal camps to such an extent that Jy llnii quar- pended on account of Their ar my is said to be suffering terrflfly w ith all kinds of camp diseases. It feally seems that between high water and low Water, sickness and rebel batteries, the operationVof the en emy in the West are about failures. \^<o From the Coast ’i We have no news of special interest. The enemy have evacuated Pensacola. In doing so they fired the town, but an order from the officer in command of the fleet threatening to shoot every man engaged in the affair if the fires were not immediately extinguished, put a stop to their proceeding; Dot, howev er, before quite a number of buildings hud been destroyed. All the troops that could be spared from that place have been sent to Banks. The remainder now occupy the na vy yard, Forts Barrancas and Pickens. Jacksonville, Fla., was for a time occu pied by a regiment of negroes under the command of white men. The citizens were subjected to the grossest, indignities at their hands. Ladies were insulted publicly upon the streets, and white men put under guard of negroes and compelled, upon pain of death, to obey their orders. These infamous scoun drels, white and black, have all been driven out of the city, and it is now in possession of Confederate troops.. The attack upoh Charleston is a matter of daily anticipation'. The fleet of the enemy at Port Koyal numbered, at last accounts, one hundred and fifty vessels. Burnsides is not in command. He has been sent to the West, to take care or Kentucky. The at tempt upon Charleston surely can not be much longer deferred. Their preparations have been of the most elaborate character. A failure will cover them with disgrace.— We believe that, both failure and disgrace await them, It is said that they intend to reduce the Forts commanding the entrance to the harbor first, by means of* their iron clad monitors, and then run up and shell the city, landing their troops upon the wharf under cover of their gunboats. The people of tha city are calm and collected in view of all these huge preparations for their des truction. very little apprehension is felt, in regard to the result. Upon a general survey we think every thing looks bright and encouraging for our cause. The winter has gone and our ene mies have accomplished nothing worth men tioning. Spring is rapidly advancing, and yet they hesitate. Our own armies are rep resented as being in fine health and -spirits, and very considerably increased in numb’ers Our ability to meet the enemy in the field is not questioned by any one. The greatest obstacle, it seems, with which we have to contend is the supply emn duty of every man who owns an acre of land and who is able to work, to turn every foot of land and every muscle of liis body the production of food. The success of our cause depends much upon it. K But we are not among the number who believe that starvation is at our door. The high prices of provisions has been pro duced by other causes besides their scarcity. The redundancy of the currency and its consequent depreciation may be mentioned among them. But we think that the unac countable manner of seizures, in many cases, made where they were unnecessary and hard upon the parties from whom the articles have been taken, has operated as much as any other cause to drive provisions from the market into places beyond the reach of gov ernment officials. We have all the time dreaded the effects of violent and arbitrary proceedings of the government upon a peo ple who have hitherto been voluntarily mov ed by the nobler impulses of patriotism.—- Force, upon a republican people, tends to produce resistance to authority, to dry up the springs of liberality, and to chill that warm love for the government which was once the agent for the protection of their rights and property. But we rejoice that this evil is about remedying itself. The impressment bill which has recently passed both Houses of Congress will prevent any future difficul ty upon the score of seizures. „ W ben pro perty is taken, the matter is to be left to the wo or three disinfested par A the vicinity, pnder the “just compensation” Blow that the government Hpess to heed the well- H* of the citizen, let him and afford a genefl drJSkrnnient, in tW condel^^HKgßH|H^9H9^HHnS^H||| plian{^^ft9ftKl£3|gHS^HH|^Bßft||iß I'itfCS. pKHpill t the ji'Ml 1 ‘JS f * e\ few-® <>ft tcrity. lift *,f ‘ \ fi’ ‘ ’ jig Ms “€tj -i -T'. a-M . f I . 1 r'.t ->1 i’orhSj \ || *£ ■* l|||p | t, iht is thejft .

The English Emancipation Society under took, (according to its own announcent for, weeks,) to get up “a monster demonstration” at Exeter Hall, in support of President Lin coln’s abolition policy. The meeting was ap pointed for the 29th of January, ‘a week be fore the opening of Parliament, when London must be full of persons of considerable emi nence and of all shades of .opinion,’ and-*“a gents of the Northern Government, provided with funds from America, were at work on tlie familiar business of agitation,” to invest the meeting with eclat. “Times,” “Morning Post” and “Daily Telegraph,” how ever concur in representing “the result of the j mountain’s labor as the birth of a most redic ulous mouse.". The speakers, indeed, were true to the pi vyi um„w of the agitators, .'tty - “made heavy speeches in favor of Mr. Lincoln and Gen. Butler ; gave iji their adhesion to the Northern pol'cy, through thick and thin; talk ed unctiously about the Divine blessing on the Federal arms ; went in on Christian principles for a war of determination ; blackened fUg. names of So a thorn generals; and palliated the monstrous lies of the Northern leaders.” But among these speakers there was “not one man sluua ooußtrr would Baton to On any political subject.” I regret to say that Ilou. and Rev. Baptist Wriothesley Noel, whose accession to our denomination in 1848 clothes liis name with some interest, was of their num ber. He has hardly consulted his own best reputation.through coming times, in tliusjoiu iug the long line of men who find no use for their charity hut to devise Bethesdas for the cure of imaginary moral diseases on the Other side of the globe, “And whirl them (happy rid dance !) from themselves.” If we may credit the ’‘Philadelphia Inqui rer,” a lady, a native of Virginia, has recently gone North, “longing anxiously, yet hopefully I lor the day when the benign influence of the Federal Government shall again shed the beauts of peace and blessing on the unhappy and suf fering States, composing for the time the des potic realm of Jeff. Davis.” Her vivacious ac count of the present condition of society in tht, Old Dominion, includes the statement that “Preaching, Sabbath and day schools, in iuo*t places, have been suspended.” -This is tlie shameless exaggeration of falsehood, stooping to the “dirty work” which malignity desires at his hands. And yet it must he confessed that Sabbath schools especially have suffered in Virginia, under the adverse influence of war. Among our churches in this city they have greatly fallen off; and at the last meeting of the'denominational Monthly Sabbath School . Concept,, the school in Manchester, for the first -tinie, repaved a larger number of scholars than any of our Richmond schools. W$ Hr* a lost ground, not from necessity ; for after all the depletion of our membership by the draft of the army, Baptists enough remair(. if they only ‘had a mind to work,’ to keep u| as numerous a corjgs ot officers, teachers and asi tors, as ever. That our Manchester brethren have maintained their ground, argues wellffor the genuineness of the recent revival in t&eir midst, and abundantly testifies that, even du ring these times of convulsion, the churffies need only to be “in the Spirit,” to ensure the perpetuity and efficiency of the Sabbath School. I hope that lie who, in the days of His flish, was a lover of little ones, and whose grace, wherever its legitimate results are reached, causes all His people to love them, will nse the “Child’s Index” as an instrument for the awakening of our denomination to greater fidelity in this regard. The revival among the soldiers of Barks dale’s brigade*, at Fredericksburg, is a bearu of “glorious summer” in the winter of our na tional calamities. On last Sabbath wlek, twenty-six of our veteran defenders were iap tized by Rev. Mr. Carroll, (amissionary it,the employment, I believe, of thq Domestic Biaid at Marion.) Rev. Mr. Owen, chaplain of the 17th Miss, regiment, baptized eight, and sprin kled eighteen. The baptisms took place in a stream of water flowing in rear pf the tows, on the border of the grave yard in which so many of our soldiers lie interred, the victims of dis ease, and at a point where, after the sangui nary battle of December, the ground wastbick ljLtrea with corpses of our invaders. The sprinkjjlMts wSre performed in a church which had lflKriddled by the balls of the enemy. — Th ujßEjjating mistakes in the matter ofposi the gospel reclaims to itself the >'^W r ’ 8 an S r . y strife ani teriafic car • j|?-jKd “a pleasant thing it is for the eyes ft the ■•.

C., as the place for the meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention. The silence of the “Confederate Baptist,” is sued at Columbia, ‘gives me pause,’ however. And then, as the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in the Confederate States meets there, Thursday, May 7tb, I doubt whether it is expedient that the Conven tion, whose session opens the next day, should appeal to the generous liberality of that com munity at the same time. But it is better to run the risk involved in that'step, than not to hold the Convention. For two weeks, I have designed, hut omit ted, to say that, amoug the .forty-six “gradu ates” at the late Annual Commencement of the Medical College of Virginia, four were from Georgia; namely, Robert C. Eve, and Virgftlius G. Hitt, of Augusta, Thomas B. Slauajiter, of Putnam county, and Jett T. W of Morgan county. It is a fair speci- typographical errors*in newspaper of fices,’ shat these forty-six gentlemen were pub lished, by 4he “Richmond Enquirer,” as “fi radnftes.” T|p correspondent of the “Savannah Repub lican,*” who has earned a national reputation by his contributions to that paper, ha3 said that, as a result of thk^ttlfttrover -iy between Gov. Brown and President Davis, “Georgia has hut little influence at Richmond.’’ I can not but regard this statement as unfortunate —as one which the facts of the case will scarce ly make good.

The British papers contain teriible details of the distress in the manufacturing districts. The Confederate Bible Society has i eceived $50,595,29. A letter from Albany says—“ Bro. Mallary is improving from the fatigue of his return from Macon, though he was unable to fill his appointment here last Sabbath. Bro. Huff left us this morning for Macon. He will no doubt report his good success in person.” Bro. McCall paid us a visit, lately, aud re ports coldness in his churches. Bro. Wm.

Can’t other .bnrehes imitate Macon and Sa vannah and Atlanta in making gifts to their pastors ? Extract from a letter to the Index: “Your paper is now, I believe, the cheapest thing in the Southern Confederacy. How you can furnish so large a sheet, pay for communi cations and make such a good paper for three dollars, is a great mystery to us who have to pay at market more than $3 for a chicken scarcely feathered.

We never “send bills” for such service: the money must ac company the article.] In Seottsboro,’ Feb. Ist, at the residence of his mother, Benjamin F. Palmer, aged near ly 20 years. He left his home in April, ’6l, at the call of patriotism and went forth a vol unteer in the Baldwin Bines, to the defence of his country. After a long absence of twenty one months, during which time he showed himself to be a faithful and gallant soldier, and bore himself bravely in all thebattles in which his regiment, the 4th Ga., was engaged, he re turned oh a brief furlough to his home, appa rently in perfect health. Within aday or two, a violent attack of pneumonia prostrated him and in a few more days he died. Not because he served his country well—not because he was an affectionate son and brother—an up right and exemplary young man—hut because he believed in Jesus, and gave pleasing evi dence that he looked alone for salvation to the crucified Redeemer, his bereaved friends re joice in the hope that he is now “forever with the Lord.” L. Departed this life; in Crawford county, Ga., on the 2lst February last, Mrs. Elizabeth El lis, wife of John W. Ellis, Eeq., in the forty first year of her age. Sister Ellis made a public profession of faith m her Saviour and was baptized about twenty yaars since. She was devotedly attached to the Saviour’Bxnuo. life, and in death liis presence and love were very preciwa to her. Expressiunslof luve to Him tor His kindness to her were among the last words she mttered. The husband has lost a dear wife, the chil dren a precious mother, and her church and community a valuable member, while she, we trust, has gained by the separation a world of unalloyed happiness, an ample recompense for all she has left below. Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee, Since God was thy Ransom, thy Guardian, tliy Guide; | He gave thee, lie took thee, and He will res tore thee, An£ death hath no sting, since the Saviour has died, A. “Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower, When blasting winds sweep o’er the fields, It withers in an hour.” Sis 4 tr Catharine M. Stkoxc, consort of brother 11. 11. Strong, Jr., departed this life 10th Dec., 1862, aged 20 years and 5 months. Sister strong was the youngest daughter of bro. Jacob and sister Sarah Freeman. She was born, raiseiland died im’froup county, Ga. It seems that the hand of Providence had marked her path of life with misfortunes ; in early * childhood her mother’was taken from her, by the fell monster disease; in a few short years after, while still in childhood, her father then in the prime of life, was laid low in the dust of the tomb. These afflicting dispensa tions, visited upon her, in her tender years, may have contributed much, -to make her so eminentJbr piety, so calm and resigned under whatever circumstances her lot was cast, as to procure the admiration and esteem of all who knew her. But so modest and. beautiful a rose was not destined long to bloom on earth,’ so pure and bright a jewel must glisten and sparkle in heaven. Tlie scenes attending the death of sister Kit. ty, (as she was familiarly called,) were dis tressing in the extreme. Her husband had but recently returned from the army in Ya., where he had entirely lost the use of one of his eyes and the other very much injured, with his physical strength much impaired.-- Nevertheless, on the very day of her death, he was enrolled as a conscript. A few days be fore her death she gave birth to twins, and her oldest child was barely two years old. — Thus she was the young mother of three help less babes. However fondly her husband clung to her embrace, however piteously her babes looked, however ardently her relatives and friends loved and respected her, yet the edict had gone forth from high heaven, that sister Kitty’s earthly career had closed, and all earth must submit, though the fond hopes.and ardent desires of those that loved and respected her, be forever blasted. All that could be done, both by kind friends and a skillful physician, was done, but alas ! all in vain, heaven claim ed her for its own. Sister Kitty seemed to have a presentiment of her departure weeks before, and frequently spoke of it to her husband and friends, with Christian confidence and an humble submis sion. She gave her heart to God in early youth, and united with the Baptist church at- Antioch. She “fought a good fight, has fin ished her course, and kept the faith,” and is now gone to wear that crown of righteousness that was laid up for her. She leaves an afflic ted husband, three helpless babes and many relatives and friends. She was an affectionate and devoted companion, a kind and discreet mother, and a compassionate mistress. Whilst we were placing the last clods on her tenement of clay, we could not help thinking that her spirit was in heaven singing praises to the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world, and that death was only a full admit tance into the joys of the Elysian fields of Par adise.- J. G. G. In this city on the 22d day of February, 1863, sister Emily Bern, wife of brother J. M. Bern, in the sixtieth year of her age. Sis ter Bern was baptized by Elder Luke Robin son, at Rockbridge, Gwinnett county, in 1831, and until the day of her death continued an humble, devoted and consistent Christian. Her faith was of the most lively character, and when assailed by affliction she was wont to JlTrh oracles, for strength and com fort. Tne Bible was her constant companion and from this rich treasury she was enabled to bring out things new and old. During her last illness the writer had opportunity for as certaining the ground of her trust, Christ the Hope of glory. Her illness, which was of long continuance, she bore with Christian fortitude and when the hour for her departure approached it found her ready, with her lamp trimmed and burning. And when the final summons came she quiet ly fell asleep in Jesus, leaving a fond husband several affectionate children and many friends to mourn her loss. “Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep. From which none ever wake to weep.” 11. C. 11. Green B. llayqood, son of William Hay good, was horn in. Clark county, Ga., Jan. 22, 1811, and died at his residence, in Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 24, 1862. His early years were spent with merchants. lie was at one time a student in the Academy at Monroe, Walton county, Ga., entered Judge Gould’s Law school in Augusta in 1833. Soon commenced the practice of ldrw, which profession he followed till his death. He was married to Miss Mar tha A. Askew, on the 11th of March, 1838. She now lives at Atlanta, Ga. He left two sons and two daughters. He was for many years a member of the M. E. church. His life was that of a Christian. He loved the Bible, the Sabbath, the church and the family altar, and his great delight was to keep God's law. G. B. 11. was one of the best and most pub lic spirited citizens in his city. And thft church lost in him one of her most enlighten ed, liberal, consistent and pious members. lie was determined in liis course, detested hypoc risy and deceit. In the language of another, “Death came and cut down our brother in the midst of hrs usefulness. Bat he found his house in order, and himself ready and willing to obey the summons. For several years past he has b<en afflicted with a disease, which as suming_a form, he was fully aware must, at no remote period, close his mortal ca reer. lie made and signed his will, then said, “I feel that I liaie done my whole duty to the best of my ability, and that God, for Christ’s sake has pardoned aft my sins, and that I shall go to heaven.” Receipts to March 31,1863.
