Anxißty to see a Slave —The Welcome Ivind -1 y Greetings— Family Prayer—Tbe Higher Law —Discu ssi on. “Mother, do show me a slave as soon as Ae steamer gets near enough.” This request was made by a beautiful young lady, as she stood on the deck of a large steamer that was nearing the port of Savannah. It was her first trip South. The fulfilment of a promise of long standing, made to a dear uncle, that when her educa tion was completed she would pay him a vis it. He had left New England when quite young, and having married a Southern lady, seldom returned except on business, or to spend a few weeks with his aged parents. In contemplating this visit there was but one thing that marred the anticipated pleas ure of the mother and daughter, that was the idea of seeing the poor slave in chains, of listening to his groans of anguish, while they were powerless to free him from his bondage. They had been led to regard as real, all the tales of woe, all the horrible tragedies of which they had so often read in speeches, •ermons, books or newspapers. They were sincere in believing slavery to be the “sum of all villainies j” and they had mutually a greed to give their influence to the cause of “human liberty and equal rights,” in other words, to abolitionism. Fully expecting to see the negroes chain ed together and bearing heavy iron weights, the curiosity of Miss Nellie Norton was ful ly awake to catch the first glimpse of a slave. The steamer having reached the wharf, the passengers came thronging to the shore, some after long absence eager to re ceive the affectionate greeting of their friends, some in search of pleasure, while others, with pallid cheeks and wasted forms, have come to seek new life and strength from the balmy breezes of a more Southern clime. “And sure enough you’ve come,.sister; welcome to our Southern sail and home. I am so happy to see you.” Mrs. Norton threw her arms around the neck of her bro ther, and for a moment both shed tears of joy at meeting again after so long an ab sence. “And Nellie, dear Nellie, is this you! Surely this is not my little Nellie whom I last saw eight years ago in New England ! Why how you have grown ! No, this is my niece, Miss Norton. Come let me seat you in my carriage, then I will see to your bag gage.” As Mr. Thompson led the way to the car riage, Nellie, still on the qui vive to see a slave, could not longer restrain her curiosi ty- “ Uncle, do show me a slave if there is one here.” “Jack, come here,” cried Mr. T. The carriage driver promptly obeyed his mas ter’s call, advancing with hat in hand. Jack was a fine looking mulatto, neatly dressed in a suit of broad cloth, liis hat being tidily bound with crape. “Hero is a slave, Nel lie,” said Mr. T. “Oh no, uncle, you jest, do you not?— That cannot, be * a slave. I thought you .Southerners kept your slaves chained lest they should run away from you.” “Pshaw, Nellie, you have certainly been to Brooklyn and heard that villainous hyp ocrite Henry Ward Beecher. . But here we are at the carriage. Jack remain here un til Igo and have the baggage put in the wagon.” “Yes, sir,” said Jack with a quick and* emphatic voice. The ladies being seated, concluded that while they were waiting they would begin to acquaint themselves with slavery by ob taining information from one of the suffer ers. Nellie, who felt her superiority as au educated young lady, over the ignorant peo ple of the Soat'a, as she imaginod them to be, began the conversation with Jack, the negro carriage driver. Hesitating for a moment as to whether she should address him as Mr. or Sir, as a free man or as a servant, she finally began without either. “Are you in my Uncle’s service ?” “Yes’m, I b’longs to mas. George.” “How do you like him ?” “I liks him fust rale; “he’s mighty good to us, feeds us well, gives of clo’se and is good all do time.” “But would you not rather bo free, as we are, so that you could go where you please, and when you please ?” “Don’t know, Missus, color’d folks han’t . got white folks’ ways, no how; wc wouldn’t know how to ’haveourselves; we too ignunt.” “Suppose I were to buy you and carry you home with me, and set you free so that you could work for yourself and have every thing you made, would you like that?” “Es you’d carry mas George and miss Penny and the childens wid you, and let me stay with dem ; not ’thout.” “Why would you rather live with Uncle ad be a slave than to go with me and he free?” “I could’t quit mas George, no how; he’s good man, and den Miss Renny she’s monstous kind, and when wo gets sick she tends to us and nusses us so good, and gives us such nicefixinsto eat, ani has us tended ti mighty kind.” “What a stupid dolt,” said Nellie, softly to her mother. “Poor fellow he loves his chains.” Mr. Thompson having arranged the bag gage, came and took his seat in the carriage with his sister and niece. Jack was ordered to drive forward, and while they were going to Mr. T’s residence they conversed on fam ily matters, Southern scenery, society, &c. After a ride of several hours, they ap preached the elegant home of their relative. The house stood on a slight elevation, sur rounded by exquisite shrubbery, tastefully arranged and trimmed, while at the distance of a few hundred yards could be seen two rows of neatly painted negro cabins. Mrs. Thompson meeting them at the gate with the true grace and cordial affection of a cultivated Southern lady, extended to them a most hearty welcome. The childven, too, of whom there were five, were all eager to see cousin Nellie and aunt Julia, of whose coming they had heard so much. They were each embraced in turn, and seemed highly delighted to see their Northern relatives. They entered the richly furnished dwel ling just as the sun sank to his evening re pose, charming the visitors with his gorge ous coloring of the Western sky. After ar ranging their toilet, the ladies were invited in to tea. Having spent some time in social conversation around the table, all were assem bled for family prayer. At the sound of a bell the house servants came in and seated themselves near the door. One of them hapded Mr. Thompson a Testament from which he read a chapter, occasionally stop ping to make explanations. When the chap ter was finished, they all knelt and he pray ed, while an occasional response in the way of an audible groan proceeded from some of his colored auditors. This was an unusual scene to the new comers, wliq were totally ignorant of Southern life and negro charac ter, no remarks, however, were made, for they feared to speak, lest they might wound the feelings of their deluded relatives, who ignorantly imagined it was right lo hold hu man beings in slavery. “Well, Nellie, you have now seen several of my slaves, what do you think cf them and slavery?” said Mr. Thompson, after they were all seated in the parlor. “Do you ask me for the truth , uncle?” “Certainly I do, my dear, I would not have you speak an untruth.” “I think well of your slaves, as you are pleased to term them, but I abominate the laws and public sentiment which doom them to a life of servitude.” Then, my dear niece, you abominate the law of God, and the sentiments inculcated by his holy prophets and apostles. Ido not feel reproached by your remark, but"l would kindly suggest the propriety of an investiga tion from the Bible, of the origin and per petuity of slavery, at some convenient time while you are here.” \ “Uncle, slavery shocks humanity, how could it then he taught by the Divine Being? I cannot believe it, and if I did, I do not think I could confide in the justice and goodness of such a Being.” “Why, Nellie, you shock mo. If God is not such a one as you would have Him to be, you will not worship Ilim. If lie does not'eome up to your standard of what He ought to he; if He dares to teach what does not accord with your views, then you reject Him. Con jider, my dear niece, of what presumption you are guilty.” “But, uncle, there is a law of the human mind higher than all other laws, having its own intuitive perceptions of what is right and wrong : this law. of the mind is above all other laws, and is at liberty to accept or reject any proposition, as it may accord with or differ from this intuitive moral consciousness. Sla : very comes in direct antagonism with this law of my mind, and hence I reject either the interpretation or the authority of any and ev ery standard which favors slavery.” “These ‘laws of the human mind,’ these ‘in tuitive perceptions,’ this ‘moral conscious ness,’ were given you by your gracious Crea tor. Then they are creatures of His. Now shall the Creator become subordinate to the creature ? ‘Shall the thing formed, say to Him who formed it, Why hast thou made me thus ?’ But from what did you learn your ethics, or metaphysics, or rather infidelity, I ought to call it, for it is really worse than the system either of Pain or Hume? lam more and more astonished at you. I was not aware that abolitionism had resorted to such desper ate ends to sustain itself. I knew that Theo dore Parker had rejected the Bible because it was a pro-slavery book, but I did not know that the sentiment had taken possession of the pulpit, the press and the schools, so thorough ly that a girl just from lier alma mater should be so well versed in the whole argu ment. But I did know that tins would be the last and only successful point from which ab olitionism could be defended. The North must give up the Bible and religion, or adi.pt our views of slavery.” “Not so fast, uncle, I have not admitted that the Bible is a pro-slavery book, nor do I believd it. Upon the contrary, I have been taught to believe in its Divine origin, to reverence its holy truths, and to obey its heavenly precepts. I only said what would be the case in the e vent it did teach slavery.” “I am glad, dear Nellie, you have been “so piously taught; I only regret that this relig ious education has taken such slight hold up on your reverence; for with your firm belief in the Divine origin of the Bible, you rever ence the higher law more than you do its heavenly instructions. You will believe the Bible is.from God, a holy hook, worthy of the heart obedience of all, unless it tenches slave ry, in which event it is ‘'sans Dieu.” Well, I see you are afraid of the Bible, the only reve lation from heaven, the only sure unerring source of information. So you must be left to “the law in your members which wars against the law of your mind, and brings you into cap tivity to the law of sin.” “No, uncle, I am not afraid of the Bible, nor do I fear to investigate the subject of slave- i ry as revealed in it. I am only surprised that I you should have been so deluded as to believe the institution can find any favor with a holy God. lam willing at any time to begin the investigation with you.” “Very well, then, the arrangement is un derstood. When you have had sufficient time to rest, and look at slavery a little in its prac tical workings, say one week from the present time, our investigation shall begin.” To be Continued. For the Cbiistian Index. Dialogue between a Baptist and Pedo-Baptist. Pedo—Why do you Baptists exclude pe do-Baptists from communion at tbe Lord’s table ? Bap—Because wc do not think you are baptized. Pedo—But how do you know we are not baptized ? Bap—Because after a thorough investiga tion, we think the word means only to im merse. Pedo—That is a very slender basis. Bap—Then what we conscientiously be lieve to be a positive command of God, you would have us regard as a slender basis. Pedo —But you may be wrong. Bap. —And we may be right. Pedo—But we don’t think so. Bap —And yet we do. - Pedo—But you don’t know it. • Bap—Nor do you know to the contrary. Pedo—But why do you risk so much when there is a doubt ? Bap—We do not think that there is any doubt, and even if there was, we are bound to act in accordance with what we conscien tiously believe, or else reject it, and substi tute what we do not believe. Pedo —But you acknowledge us to be Christians. Bap—And you acknowledge us to be the same. Pedo—Then how can you innocently ex clude those whom you believe Christ has re ceived ? Bap—l appreciate tbe importance of your enquiry as it is a subject which has given me deep and painful thought; but if you will only bear with me a little I will try and reconcile our apparent inconsistency. You are ready to admit that if Christ receives both Baptists and pedo-Baptists, he evident ly receives one or the other, (through the abundance of his mercy,) in great error ? Pedo---I am willing to admit that. Bap—You will also admit that if either of us should at any time discover that the er ror is on £he part of the other, it would be hts duty as a Christian to make it known, and that the other, as a Christian, should not only receive it kindly, but also immedi ately renounce the error. Pedo—l will if he proved itLeyond doubt. Bap—Very well. Then I am prepared to prove now, beyond doubt, that we do not ex clude you, but that you exclude yourselves, and therefore, that the error is on your part and not ours. Pedo—l am glad you have made the dis covery. How do you prove it. Bap. Do you all believe that our baptism, immersion, is a valid baptism ? Pedo—We do. Bap.—Then all you have to do is to. adopt and practice what you believe and you shall never have cause again to complain that Baptists do not invite you to the Lord’s ta ble. Pedo—But you have not yet proved that the error is ours; why not as well the Bap tists come over to us ? Bap—Because in doing so vre would be compelled to renounce our faith, and prac tice what we do not believe, whereas, if you come to us you will not have to do either.— Now which is most reasonable ? Pedo—But we are not responsible for Bap tist faith. Bap—Very true, but Baptists are. And will not God hold you responsible if you do not make this matter right, when you can do it without renouncing your faith, and Bap tists cannot, even if they do renounce theirs ? Ped—l am not convinced!! Bap—lf this does not convince you we are compelled to believe that there is a worse difficulty in the way than a mere error of the judgment, and that yfe aie not really as so licitous about this matter as you pretend to be; are you quite sure that pedo-Baptist de nominations really desire to commune with the Baptists? Pedo—l am. And we consider it a mat ter of such vast importance that we believe Baptists would be justifiably in renouncing their faith, relative to baptism, in order that we may commune. Bap—Very well. Do not pedo-Baptist churches invite all protestant denominations to commune with them ? Pedo—They do. Bap —-And do pedo-Baptists accept each others invitation ? Pedo —Some individual members do sorne m times. Bap—But do you as denominations at all times when an opportunity is granted ? Ped—We do not, Bap—Now I discover your error in all its naked deformity. Disrobe yourselves of all | your selfish denominational pride and scc’ta i rian bigotry, and practice wliatyou believe; then you will find no riiore dificulty in the wjy. If you refuse to do this, you refuse to discharge your known duty, and lemcmber, if you persist in your course, the conse quences will fall upon your own beads in eternity. J. H.

May the Lord ever bless them. Their letters evince a deep interest in the welfare of our Soldiers. I hope I will be excused fqr making a few extracts from them: “We have cheerfully done wliat we could, and hope the Lord will bless a “means de signed to advance His kingdom. The army presents a ripe harvest. Oh that there were more laborers to enter in and reap . the rich fruits ! When we read with what eagerness our noble soldiers receive the message of sal vation, when presented to them, we feel wil ling to do for them to the extent of Durabil ity.” Another says. “I regret that I have not a larger amount to send ; but I shall contin ue to collect (I am pleased to hear that) and hope ere long to have much more to send you. We hear the cry of our soldiers for Bibles and religious reading; let us heed it. With God on our side and an army of Chris tian soldiers, we may confidently hope for the triumph of Southern arms and the ulti mate expulsion of Lincoln hiielings from Southern soil. We will do what we can to help our soldiers “on to God,” and our con stant prayer is that they may enlist under the banner of the lowly Prince.” Another, who sent two hundred and for ty-nine dollars, says, “1 fervently pray that this little mite may be the means of making many now fighting only for our liberty, sol diers of the cross, and that when this war closes we may not have a host of demoralized men ushered upon our country; but a host of Christians.” Several agents have not yet sent the result of their labors. When they do I will ac knowledge through the Index. * There are many thjngs I should like to say concerning brethren and their fields of labor; but the length of my acknowlege ments and the reduced size of your paper will not permit me to do so at present.

Boykin —As I have seen nothing said about the Lebanou Jjijjfariet Baptist As sociation which conveaMPFits lsth annual j session on Thursday the 17th day of Sept.,! 1863, in the new Baptist church at Lewis j Creek, Russel county, Va., Elder J. O. j Speer preached the introductory sermon. — r l he Association was called to order by Eld. i W. Huff; letters from the various churches were presented and read; then the Associa tion proceeded to the election of officers in which Eld. W. Huff was elected Moderator 1 and bro. J. O. Speer, Clerk and Treasurer. ; The association is composed of some twenty churches. We had a small delegation in consequence of being so near the lines of the enemys, but a very interesting and harmo nious session. We had a few visitors and they were good brethren. The brethren and citizens showed great respect and gave pub lic invitations for entertainraeut. Sabbath morning we had a large congregation which seemed very attentive. Bro. W. Iluffpreach ed first, after which he made a short and interesting speech in which he callecj on the church and people generally, to give liber al of their Confederate money to pay for printing Testaments and tracts for our sol- diers, for lie said it would take the soldiers to make our money good and us free, and in a few minutes after he was done speaking ; they gave him some SBOO for that purpose. All seemed to respond to the call very cheer fully except some es our brother Hard Shell Baptists, as they sometimes call themselves, seemed to hold off as they alwaysseem to be very fearful of missionary effotts, supporting ministers and encouraging Sabbath Schools, &c., after which we had some fifteen minu tes intermission, and brother J. O. Speer was to preach but about that time there came a dispatch that the Yankees were advancing on Abingdon, which flustrated the congre gation and was the means ofhaving tobring our association to a close. I hope before the times rols around for our next association that these Confederate States will be a free and independent nation. I must be short as I am not accustomed to writing for newspapers, buts thought I would write this time as better and wishr men had neglected it lam sorry the In dex has reduced to half sheet. 1 would rath er give $lO and have a whole sheet, as my great delight is to read religious news, to hear of revivals and to know the work of the Lord is going on if it is war times; these are times of much trouble but God lias said all things shall work together for good to them that love him.
