NEWS OF THE~WEEK7 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&lt) 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. . —* Hasty Telegrams.

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. J. S. fiAKER. ,****,, Acknowledgements.

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.” A. E. C. Baptist Banner please copy- 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 ral eccentjri<sities'bf character, hut on *lllO whole but V'. better qu?n have ever lived.— I His rcjprd for the poor and Amount- 1 ted alnfost to a passioD, and many of them have received liberally of his benefactions.— 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.” W. Bap. Banner please copy.
