MACON NOV. 20, 1863.
Notes on the Times.
The red drama-curtain of war seems about
to rise both in Tennessee and Virginia. Gath
ering bests, anti the apparent necessity of some
successful achievement on each side seems to
render it incumbent for one side or the otter
to inaugurate fiercc hostilities. Bragg, either
resting at Chattanooga or falling back to a
more favorable situation, appears to be endea
voring to turn Grant’s left flank ; while Grant,
entrenched in Chattanooga, and by the open
ing of his line of supply, safe for the win
ter ; likewise, appears inclined to menace
our left flank. But the whole situation may
be embraced in one sentence; Bragg will try
to regain tbe E. Tenn. and 1 a. It. R., and by
resting quietly in North Georgia, prevent an
advance of Grant until next Spring. From
R. Tennessee, we have had no mews during
the week past.
In Virginia on the i th, at Kelly s Ford, two
of our brigades, Hoke’s North Carolina, and
llayes’ Louisiana, were surprised by a large
ly superior force on tbe other side olthe Rap
pahannock and suyrovjijded, and partially des
troyed. 600 escaped, 400 were taken prisoners,
several hundred were killed and wounded, and
the balance were scattered and are coming in
to camp individually. Tbe Examiner esti
mates our loss at 1500! We lost one battery
—the Louisiana Battery. It is thought that
a general engagement will soon take place in
Virginia. Lee is on this side of the Rapidan.
At Charleston affairs continue the same.—
An attack on Savannah is apprehended.
In general we are in a more advantageous
situation than one year ago, as far as arms
and men go; but as far as the war spirit is
concerned ; and as far as general wickedness
is concerned, we have deteriorated. People
seem to forget that we are engaged in a life
and death struggle ; and are as intent on ma
king money and seeking enjoyment, as tho’
all was peace. In every city theatres flaunt
their flaming bills, traveling minstrels parade
the land, speculation is running rife, selfish
ness is predominant, men are madly bent on
making money, while uncloanness is manifes
ting itself to an alarming extent throughout
the Confederacy.’ Prayer-meetings are com
paratively neglected, the ministers are, many
of them, being forced from their pulpits, the
religious papers are monthly reduced to a half
sheet, revivals are growing fewer and fewer,
and exertions for supplying the army with re
ligious reading and religious services are
slackening.
While we are growing weary of war of
glorious independence our enemies are becom
ing more bitter and more united—one proud,
vindictive, demonish spirit pervades the whole
mass of the Northern people ; aud they are
bent upon the annihilation of the black race
and the pennant subjugation and destruction
of the white race at the South.
If we do not wake up, and care for our ar
mies and recruit our forces, and forsake our
sins and turn “to God in prayer and humility,
we will have good reason to look for the just
judgments of heaven to an extent more severe
than any we have yet suffered.
The Green Street Church of
Augusta.
We see it stated also that when the Presby
terian church of Augusta, Georgia, was taken
by the government authorities for a hospital, a
Baptist church of that city offered the use of
their bouse of worship to the congregation of
the former “on communion and other occa
sions.” And yet according to prevalent Bap
tists views the Presbyterian is not a Christian
church at all, its minister not areal Christian
minister, and its ordinances invalid and un
lawful. So does ihe logic of the heart refute
the logic of the head, and the true Christian
spirit, when times and circumstances wake it
up, set at nought the surface errors of our
creeds.— Southern Presbyterian.
We suppose that the misquotation in the
above extract from the Southern Presbyterian
is unintentional ; but, as it is a misquotation,
in being a part only of a sentence, and calcu
lated to create a false impressiou concerning
the Green St. Bap. church of Augusta, we
publish the extract in order to make a correc
tion.
The editor seems to imagine that the Green
Street Church is “open communion” in senti
ment ; at least he creates that impression up
on the minds of his readers. But let him read
the resolutions passecWby the church, and his
mind will be disabused on the point: the
church offers the Presbyterians ond Metho
dists the “exclusive use” of the church edifice
on pedo-Baptist communion occasions, and does
not hint, in the remotest degree, at mixed com
munion. The following are the resolutions
adopted by the Green Street Baptist church:
Resolved Ist. That we cordially invite our
Presbyterian and Methodist friends to unite,
in worship with us in our church edifice.’
2d. That otvCoinmunion’or other occasions
(when they desir<) we tender them its ex
clusive use for such purpose.
3d. That our Paster arrange for such alten
- ations as may be most agreeable to each.
Our pedo-Baptist friend need entertain no
idea that Southern Baptists will let the “log
ip of the heart refute the logic of the head,”
even in such times as those through which we
are now passing. .

Archbishop Whately — Negroes — “ Chicfyima
ga” Saloon—'■“Ditriplcs” — Xo.agatetnent of
Revival Interest. * * (
Nov. 6, 1863.
European papers* b£ing us intelligence
of ths deattaqf Archbishop Whately, at the
advanced age of eighty years. He was un-
one of the lights of the times. To
the last, he vindicated his title to the reluc
tant praise, wrung by his emineht abilities
from the more honest among the High Church
advocates of “sacramental theology,” that he
“possessed originality of expression, fertility
of illustration, ingenuity of argument, and
what is much better, general candor, simplic
ity and moral courage.” This, however, needs
not the saying. And I should have passed
over his demise in silence, but for my wish to
fecall the signal manner in which he falsified
the unfriendly prediction, ventured by the
more intemperate enemies of his ‘Low church’
and evangelical views. A quarter of a centu
ry ago, they represented him as “so fast de
scending from one heresy to another, that
even dissenters must soon become, ashamed of
. quoting him-as authority?’ The event stamps
this prophecy as calumnious falsehood. All
through his life, his name stood as a tower of
strength to the opponents of Roman and Ro
manizing theologians. It will stand so, until
religious polemics shift to entirely new fields
of battle ; and can we more fitly express zeal
for the truth, than by the wish that another
Whately may rise up then to be her cham
pion?
The spirit which led Cain to say, “My pun
ishment is greater than I can bear,” doubtless
still walkathe earth. Can none of its foot
prints be detected among our people ? Are
there no instances of the exaggeration of the
sore evils we suffer, beyond the limits of exact
truth ? I ask this question in view.of tlie fol
lowing facts. There is a Virginia county, the
population of which, according to the census,
embraced over 5,400 slaves. More than a year
ago, we heard, again and again, that this
county was “stripped almost bare of negroes.”
And yet official investigation shows that, up
to the more recent advance of the Federal ar
my, the entire number of slaves who had been
carried off by our enemies, or who had run off
to them, amounted to only 342! Now, if’lhese
eases of evil unduly magnified are of anything
like frequent occurrence, must they not con
tribute to swell that tide of popular despon
dency which is apt eneugh to rise too high
when fed only from the fountain of evil actu
ally endured ? Is not their tendency, then, to
weaken the arm ofnational defence.by nnknit
ting the bands of buoyant hopefulness : and
does not enligetened patriotism warn us to
avoid them—no matter what purpose they
may serve in the policy of the passing hour ?
Nay, do we not owe it to the protecting hand
of God, that the full extent to vhicli it tem
pers the wind and turns aside the storm of.
this trial-time should be reverently and grate
fully acknowledged? May not a righteous
Providence condemn us to feel to the last “jot
and tittle,” whatever we wickedly presume to
feign —whatever we weakly suffer ourselves to
fear?
A drinking saloon here rejoices in the sou
briquet of “Chicamauga.” The name is not
inaptly chosen. The true “ river of death” is •
there —a river that drowns reason ; that sweeps
away the bulwarks of conscience ; that buries
under its deluge the sphere of personal, do
mestic and national happiness; from whose
ooze and slime spring murders, robberies,
lusts, and sorrows, and shames, and deaths;
and which bears all its victims steadily on
ward—downward to the gulf that is bottom
less. If I were commissioned to hurl the thun
derbolts of Omnipotence, once and once only,
who shall say that I would greatly err, if it
seemed good in my eyes, to smite from the
earth rather tbe whole hosts of those who in
this night of peril are selling strong drink to
our citizens and soldiers, than the legions of
the invader ? The “poisoners general,” not
only vend a beverage pronounced by high
medical authority “likeopium in its operation
and like arsenic in its effeots,” but they “broad
cast through the land” the seeds of a moral
degeneracy which, if suffered to ripen, must
soon make our people a stench in the nostrils
of the nations t
Our city was favored last week with the ses
sion of the Virginia Annual Convention of
“Disciples”—otherwise, and more definitely,
(if not more appropriately,) known as “Camp
bellites.” The gathering, from all I hear, was
.a small one, and the occasion was marked by
no special interest. The cause of the Refor
mation has never prospered in Virginia. Its
adherents were more numerous twenty years
ago, than they are to-day. Contrary to previ
ous usage here, the pulpits of the First, Sec
ond and Grace Street Baptist churches were
thrown open, on Sabbath morning, to .the
“proclaimers” of the Convention. But the re
sult of the experiment was not such as to en
courage a repetition of it: and I strongly in
cline to think that the coming year will wit
ness nothing of the kind. The speakers, with
a single exception, trod too near the verge of
the grave errors which occasioned the rejec
tion of “ Primitive Campbellism” from our
fellowship, to justify this semi-endorsement
of their status in theology. The Reformers
and ourselves are emphatically two peoples,
and must walk apart, until their views great
ly change for the better, or ours for the worse.
Os the latter change I have no fear ; and of
the former little hope. By the way, in these
times when the fashion seems to set in so
strongly toward ecclesiastical re-unions, is it
not somewhat surprising that no charity-mon
ger has proposed to fuse Jerusalem-Baptists
and Bethany-Immereionists into one ?
The revival interest appears to have under
gone no abatement in the First and Grace’
Street Baptist churches. Twelve persons have
been baptized in each. In each, enquirers are
numerous, and professions of conversion are
daily and rightly made. SEMKT.
A Work for Chaplains Sugges
ted, r
I frequently meet with soldiefs, on the cars,
in camps, and in the who cannot
read. Could not our Chaplains profita
bly and pleasantly an hour or iifo'cash day,
in instructing those who cannotaead ? To do
this would give them a strong hold on the af
fections of our soldiers and tend so make them
more favorably disposed to receive the spirit
ual instruction whieh it is theiraim to im
plant. The itinerant life of the missionary
does notallow him to engage in thifgood work.

Died, near Perry, Ga., on the 22d of Oct.,
1863, of diptheria, Julius M., second son of
Dr. J. C. and Maria T. Gilbert, aged 4 years
5 months and 7 days.
nis protracted illness was characterized by
intense suffering which he bore with a pa
tience quite unusual for one of his tender
years. He was a bright, interesting child and
too much beloved to be easily resigned, but
we woiilfr point the sorrowing parents to that
bright world where now their “loved one”
chants the praise of his Redeemer close by the
throne of God.
“While o’er his dear remains affection weieps,
• A voice preclaims, He is not dead hut sleeps.’*”
Died in the Medical College Hospital, Sa
vannah, Ga., on Monday, Oct. lltli, 1863, bro.
Wm. D. Parker, aged nearly 24 years. He
had been a member of the Baptist church at
Jones’ Creek. Liberty county, about 4 years.
His whole life was exemplary; so much seas
to elicit from all who knew and spoke of him,
the remark, “he was a good bey.” One who
knew him well testified that he never knew
him do or say any thing immoral. It is scarce
ly necessary to say that his Christian course
adorned his profession. Camp life (for he was
a member of the sth Ga. Cavalry,) did not, in
the least, swerve him from the path of piety,
his captain being judge, whose voluntary tes
timony to his character as a man, a soldier,
and a Christian, is most pleasing, and well cal
culated to cheer the hearts of his parents in
their affliction. But a short time before de
lirium ensued he arranged with the writer of
this notice to carry a contribution to the-ap
proaching association of which he was a mem
ber, for army missions. Isis removal has made
a void in the family, the church, tbe commu
nity and the company of which he was a mem
ber, that is deeply felt. But he doubtless fills
a mansion .in heaven. Thither let those who
love him seek to follow. D. G. D.
SERGEANT T. J. WILLIS.
The subject of this notice was born April
22d, 1832. He enlisted in defence of his coun
try the 4th of Marsh, 1862, in Capt. t’ooper’s
Cos., 46th Ga. Reg. After moving with the
regiment to Charleston, thence toN. Carolina,
thence to Mississippi, he was lastly ordered
to North Ga. There, in the ever memorable
battle of Chicamauga, in the fierce conflict of
Sunday 20th Sept., he received a mortal wound
in the head, of which he died on the 22d. Be
fore going into battle, in a conversation Anth
his brother, he said if he should fall “hisway
was clear,” alluding to the bright prospect be
fore him of a glorious immortality beyond the
grave. lie fought heroically, like a man who
had no fear of death before him.
His life was that of an exemplary Christian,
having been baptized into the fellowship of
Bethel church, Muscogee county, Ga., by his
father, Rev. C. C. Willis, in 1847. He never
disgraced his profession. Those who knew
him will bear witness to his manly, upright
pious character. But his noble, fearless heart
beats no more. He freely poured out his blood
for his country. And he now sleeps liis last
sleep among the sons of glory who fell on that
victorious bloody field. No more will he be
startled by the “ear-pierc.ing fife and thej spirit
stirring drum.” The loud cannon mqy roar
again, but it will not awaken him. lie has
exchanged the field of battle for those fields
which “stand dressed in living green.’?
Heart-broken wife, afflicted father, motWF,
brother, sisters, let us .value the liberty and
rights which have cost such precious blood,
and at last meet the hero aud the saint in thnt
happy place where “no war nor battie-sOnnd
is heard.” A Fiukntk
Mbs. Francis Salk, wife of P. W. Sale,
died in Goshen, Lincoln county, Ga., on Sun
day, 27th of September, 1863, with scirrhus
disease of the liver, after a painful illness of
seven months, which she bore with Christian
fortitude. She joined the Baptist churclj at
Goshen Sept. 10th, 1831, and lived a consis
tent member until her death. She* was a de
voted wife, affectionate mother. She left be
hind a husband, five children, an aged moth
er, one sister and other friends to her’
loss. She was born the 9tii day of April, 1810,
age 53 years, 5 months and'lß days. Mrs.
Sale was willing to die and said all was peace.
Peace, ’tis the Lord, Jehovah's hand
i Blasts our joys in death,
i Changes the visage once so dear,
And gatheis back the breath.
M. L.
Died, in Thomas county, Ga., Sept. 21st,
1863, Miss Eugenia Celestia Makeix* eldest
daughter of John S. Marlin, aged 17 years
wanting one day. Her father resided in Bruns
wick at the commencement of the war, aud
was the well known anji efficient. Post Muster
in that city, and also a worthy deacon of the
Baptist church. But when the fanatical abo
litionists took possession of thg.place. he and
sister Marlin were compelled to flee from their
pleasant and peaceful home to find shelter for
themselves and their family of little daugh
ters, their only son having joined the army of
his country to battle in defence of those inter
ests so dear to the heart of every true patriot
in the Confederacy.
Brother Marlin found a home in this coun
ty, but death, the king of terrors, found out
his place of retreat, and asserted his claim.
Eugenia had net made a profession of faith
in Christ. Though amiable and lovely in her
temper and 1 disposition, and though fond of
the Sabbath school and its instructions, she
had not manifested any deeply marked intCßr
est in the salvation of her soul. When she
was attacked with diptheria, the disease which
terminated her life, in the midst of her ex
treme sufferings she appeared to have a pre
sentiment that she would not recover, and was
heard to utter ejaculatory prayers to God for
mercy. When her father asked her if she
had any evidence of her acceptance with God,
she answered, in substance, that she desired
to he a Christian, and had been praying to r be
one. This was a day or two before she died ;
but afterwards, w hen conversed with on the
subject of death, she expressed a willingness
to die, believing that God had pardoned her
sins, and that he would take her to himself in
heaven. But a little while before she departed
to be with Christ, she entreated her friends to
meet her in heaven, gave them the parting
hand, and sent word to her brother in the ar
my, “to be a good soldier and to endeavor to
meet her in heaven.” May her prayers be an
swered.
“Lord, teach our souls to fly,
To reach the land we love —
-- - -The bright inheritance on high';
Our glorious home above.”
“Hark! the muffled drum sounds the last march
of the brave!
The soldier retreats to his quarters, the grave,
Under death, whom he owns his commander
in-chief ;
No more he’ll turn out with the ready relief.i’
William Madison Jones, son of James M.
and Retheny Jones, of Meriwether county,
Ga* died on the 7th of September, 1863, at the
Poplar Lawn Hospital, Petersburg, Ya., aged
22 years. He was a member of Jackson’s
corps 13th Ga. Reg, Cos. K, Early’s Division,
and served his country faithfully in all the
battles fought by Jackson except the Sharps
burg battle, from which he was absent on ac
count of a wound received while bravely de
fending our rights at the second Manassas bat
tle. He was wounded also in a subsequent
fight, but we are informed the Physioian tho’t
the wound received at Manassas was the cause
of his death. He was a true patriot,, and
Christian soldier, a devoted and pious mem
ber of, the Baptist church 5 years. He was
truly brave for when he first beheld the brave
oppressed with odds, touched with a desire to
shield or save, lie joined a company of volun
teers and remained so constantly with his reg
iment that he never failed to he with it in any
of its fights, except the one above mentioned.
Thore is a tear for all who die,
A mourner o’er the humblest grave :
But nations swell the funeral cry,
And ti iumph weeps above the brave.
Asa son he was ever dutiful an<J affection
ate, and as a Christian he was prayerful and
full of hope and rejoicing to the end. llow
hard it is to part with those whom we love,
yet the friends of William Jones may comfort
themselves with the assurance that be died the
death of the righteous and is blessed in the
Lord. - ‘
“Now he lies low, no more to hear,
The victor’s shout or clashing steel :
No more of war’s rude cares to bear,
No more kind sympathy to feel.
No more he charges with the host,
The thickest of the battle field;
No more to join in victory’s boast,
No more to see the vanquish’d yield.”

WILSON O. B. WHATLEY,
Died of consumption, October 16th, 1863, at
his residence in Cedar Valley, Polk county,
Ga., Wilson O. B. Whatley. He was born in
Morgan county, Ga., December 12tli, 1811,
was baptized into the fellowship of Cedar
Town Baptist church, Oct. 7th, 1849, by the
pastor, Kid. J. M. Wood. He suffered at times
greatly for two or three years, and bore his
affliction with unusual fortitude, never having
been heard to utter a single complaint at his
sufferirfgs. On Sabbath prior to his death lie
attended preaching near his residence, from
which time he sank rapidly until he passed
awav. At 8 o’clock on the evening of his
death, like a Already in sight of ;
heaven, he bad his sefvairtfcfoalled in, talked ;
to them and prayed with his family, then j
sank rapidly jmd died 15 minutes before elev- i
en o’clock. sFor years he had appeared per
featly resigned to the Divine will, and the last j
few weeks qf his life he was very happy and
deshred greatly to see his friends to tell them j
of his hope and joy in Christ. The writer of!
this notice knew him long and knew him well,
and feels iftbfoss irwcoramon with those who
lovtffi him. IleTVas possessed of some natu

In his politics he has long been decidedly a
true southern man.j>f the State Rights school.
Oftr departed brother had been also the sub
ject of sore bereavements. A year or two since
his eldest daughter and his dear little son*-
Lumpkin, were taker; from him. While his
heart was greatly crushed and tears Whal'd
flow when he qf the sad dispensation,
yet he murmured not. From this time until
his death his heart was fixed upon heaven and
heavenly things. But he has passed away to
tbe land of tho blessed and will be known to
earth no more. Well do I remember liis last
farewell and his solemn requests. Friend,
Christian, brother! Farewell, until we meet
to part no more!
“I leave the world without a tear,
Save for the friends I held so dear :
To heal their sorrows, Lord, descend,
And to the. friend less, prove a friend.
I come, I come, at Thy command,
I give my spirit to thy hand;
Stretch forth thine eveljpsting arms.
And shield me in the last alarms!
Hark! tho golden harps are ringing,
Sounds unearthly fill his ear;
Millions now in heaven singing,
Greet his joyful entrance there.”
