show an abiding, heartfelt attachment to this,
which‘is a much more noble cause than any
merely patriotic one can be? Especially,
when none of the great things recorded in
the Bible are allowed to crowd out the his
tory of the widow’s tw r o mites, the alabaster
box and precious ointment, or the clothes
made by Dorcas ? Surely, to do good arid
to communicate, we should forget not; for,
with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Let
others cheer the hearts of ministers.
Yours truly, I. H. Goss.
P. S.—Many kind-hearted females, as well
as males, in this locality, too tedious to men
tion, aided me and mine during the war, and
since, by giving just such things as we needed.
2nd P. S.—ls evil communications corrupt
good manners, why may not good ones cor
rect evil manners, and correct good ones ?

A Proposition to Pastors and S. S. Superin
tendents.
In a letter recently written to the subscri
ber, Mr. R. G. Pardee, the distinguished
Sunday school Teacher and Lecturer of New
York, proposes, if desirable, to visit some of
our Southern cities, during February and
March, for the purpose of holding Sunday
school meetings, and thereby exciting more
interest and enthusiasm in this great work of
Sunday schools.
Fie suggests that there be a chain of Sun
day School Institutes from Richmond to
Montgomery, or Mobile. He is willing to
come and give us the benefit of his extensive
information and experience. For many years
he has been the general agent of the Ameri
can Sunday School Union. He is probably
more thoroughly acquainted with the practi
cal workings of the Sunday school, than any
man in America. He desires to secure the
cooperation and aid of the Pastors and Su
perintendents of the various denominations,
in the cities which he proposes to visit. Rich
mortd has already consented to the arrange
ment. She will be the first of the series.
It is hoped that the following cities, Charles
ton, Augusta, Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, and
Montgomery, will accept the proposition.
Mr. Pardee only expects that his travelling
expenses shall be paid. In his letter, how
ever, he says, that, if necessary , he will waive
this. Thus, it will be perceived, that little or
no expense will be incurred. It is, therefore,
earnestly hoped that our Pastors and Super
intendents will epter heartily into this ar
rangement, and proceed at once to confer
with each other as to the best manner of car
rying it out.
It is suggested that a committee be ap
pointed, in each city, to conduct gurrespon
dcnce, appoint time, and make ait necessary
arrangements. It is thought these meetings
would be more interesting and profitable, if
practical Sunday school men in our midst
were invited to be present and deliver ad
dresses, give model lessons, etc., etc.
It is hoped that the various committees
will take this matter into consideration and
act according to their best judgment.
Will not Pastors and Superintendents make
known their views through the press, so that
all can act advisedly ? The undersigned will
take pleasure in answering any communica
tion, and in giving any information he may
possess. All papers friendly to the cause are
requested to insert this once or twice, and to
notice editorially. T. C. Boykin.

The Sisters —A Liberal Proposition.—
In every Baptist church there are intelligent,
pious, energetic Christian sisters who are ever
alive to every good word and work. In
many cases these good sisters are widows
with helpless children to educate and other
wise provide for. That all such may enjoy
the benefits and blessings arising from the
weekly religious paper, we will send them the
Index and Baptist for one year on the re
ceipt of Five subscribers (two of which may
be old and three new) with S2O.
Will not many of these Christian women
give early attention to this matter that we
may begin with the new year, and all enjoy
the blessings as co-workers in the vineyard of
the Master.

A Word About the Paper.
A good paper cannot be made, and sustained,
without good friends—friends who love it and seek
to widen its circulation, “ for its work’s sake ” in
behalf of the cause of Christ. Wherever you see
such a paper flourishing, the credit is largely due
rather to these friends than to it. And w'hen
Christ comes to recognize and repay all labor for
His cause, the reward too will be largely theirs.
Many of our exchanges have such friends, and are
receiving fresh proofs of friendship at their hands.
Look among the Methodists, for example. The
Western Christian Advocate, the Repository and the
Apologist, all published in Cincinnati, report that
“ the renewals of subscription, up to December 21st,
as compared with the same date last year, show a
gain of over one hundred per cent.” The New
York Christian Advocate and Journal announces,
December 19th, “the reception, thus far,of nearly
six tiroes as many new subscribers as had been re
ceived at the corresponding date last year." And the
Methodist, New York, states that, during the past
year, its list was enlarged by an accession of ten
thousand names. Now, have we not friends like
these, who, while working amid greater embar
rassments and therefore not able to do so much,
can yet do something, and will do it ? We think
we have. We hope to hear from them.
But there are Baptist papers that have the same
proofs of friendly interest in their welfare. The
Watchman and Reflector, Boston, tells us that its
1 issue, for the closing week of 1866 was, in round
numbers, 14,000, and for the closing week of 1867,
somewhat in excess of 20,000.’ Even with that
large increase it says: “ Our earnest appeal to all our
brethren and friends —those in the ministry and
those in the membership as well, is to yield us now
a co-operating hand. We never more than now
have stood where we could be so surely braced
and cheered on in this great ‘ work of our hands ’
by such co-operative service.” It adds, too: “Al
ready, as we desire here to acknowledge, this co
operation is being given beyond the past, even.”
The Examiner and Chronicle, New York, states
that when the present editor became connected
with it in June 1855, its circulation was about
9,000; that “throughout the whole period there
has been a steady yearly increase, and that the
circulation is now nearly three times as large as it
was then.” And the remark is most fitly append
ed : “ Such an advance was never made by a
journal relying upon thoughtful, Christian men for
support, that had not the earnest, every-year co
operation of such friends as knew how to contrib
ute both to its interest and its circulation. The
Examiner has always had such co-operation, and
the Editor feels an obligation, which it would
be difficult for him to express, to the cultivated
men and women who have written for the paper,
and to the thousands of pastors and laymen who
have never failed to promote its circulation.”
The Standard, Chicago, combining already the
fists of three papers, proposes “ a Graud Rally for
10,000 New Subscribers” and says “Not less than
20,000 is the number at which we now strive.”
The striving is not unhopeful; for it says: “We
send our paper, in its new form, to its many thou
sand readers, this week, with a good degree of
confidence that they will appreciate an effort to
make the Baptist paper of the North-West equal
to the best, in any section. It is our hope that
many new friends will be gained to us, and that in
the year to come hundreds, and even thousands,
will rally to The Standard.
Is it, then, too much for the Index & Baptist
to ask that its friends will actively interest them
selves in meeting its far more moderate expecta
tions? Will not pastors canvas for it? Will not
deacons? Will not private brethren and sisters ?
—The foregoing paragraphs have been written
at the suggestion of the Proprietor. Without con
sultation with him, the Editor, who has no pecu
niary interest in the paper, desires to add a para
graph on a subject which has not yet been
broached between them. While a poor man,
with a large family, and illy able to bear a reduc
tion of income, he proposes, if the paper shall need
it, to relinquish, for the coming year, Five Hun
dred Dollars of salary, as fixed by contract before
be left Virginia. lie does tills, because lie knows
that the Baptists of Georgia and Alabama need
the paper; because having identified himself with
them (as he supposes) for life, he feels that, under
the pressure of the times, he ought to share the
burden of supporting what is a necessity for the
churches; and because he hopes that this contri
bution (made in the only form his poverty allows)
may induce the brethren to work for the paper,
with the assurance that it will be kept afloat, if sac
rifice and faithful discharge of duty in the Office
will suffice for this purpose.

hension, General Canby is called on by the

cealed weapons by the blacks and whites.
Washington, Jan. 6.—Upson, of Michi
gan, introduced a resolution directing the Re
construction Committee to inquire into the
expediency of authorizing the several Consti
tutional Conventions elected under the recon
struction acts in the States lately in rebellion,
to appoint all the civil officers, whether coun
ty or State, in said States, to act temporarily
and until the State Constitutions shall be
adopted therein, and until officers shall be
chosen and qualified to fill said offices ; and
for this purpose said Conventions may remove
all civil officers now acting in said States, &c.
Boutvvell, of Massachusetts, moved to amend
the resolution by adding : to instruct the Re
construction Committee to inquire into the
expediency of authorizing the General of the
Army to detail an officer for service in said
States; also, to inquire into the expediency
of constituting said States each a separate
Military District, under the command of the
General of the Army ; and also, as to the ex
pediency of providing additional legislation
to secure the elective Iranchise to all, and also
to declare by act of Congress that the Provi
sional Governments, set up in said States by
order of the acting President, are not Repub
lican forms of government. Upson accepted
the amendment; and Chandler, of New York,
moved to lay the whole subject on the table,

Washington, Jan. 7.—Mr. Howard’s Stan
ton report takes the ground that Stanton fa
vored the reconstruction acts, while the Pres
ident evinced a disposition to disregard them,
and even seize, if possible, the reins of abso
lute power. This startling purpose was a
part of Johnson’s real ground of difference
between the President and Stanton. Stanton
had the legal right to refuse resignation. Cir
cumstances justified Stanton’s, action. The
report combats all of the President’s posi
tions, placing the* President in the light of a
false accuser, and closes with a resolution that
the Senate do not concur in Stanton’s suspen
sion. The report impeaches the President’s
veracity regarding the New Orleans riots.

from receiving any warrants other than those
issued by the Convention.
Cooley opposed, on the ground of illegality
of the proposed measure, and offered a sub
stitute providing that tax receivers pay into
the Treasury the identical funds collected.
Both referred to a committee of three, who
reported to-day in favor of Cooley’s substi
tute, which was adopted after a stormy de
bate.

the tax after 1868. The duty on new cotton
imported into the United States from April
Ist, 1868, to April Ist, 1869, is suspended.
The bill goes to the House for concurrence.
Negro Suffrage in California.—Gov
ernor Haight, in his inaugural, says the pro
priety of admitting the blacks to suffrage be
longs to each State to determine for itself.
Had Congress been able to control this sub
ject, both negro and Chinese suffrage would
probably have been forced upon the people of
California against the will of the majority.
Ignorance of the effects of such legislation
would have inflicted upon us evils actually in
tolerable. So far as California is concerned,
the people of this State have expressed their
opposition both to negro and Chinese suffrage.

JOHNSON.—Died, in Heard county, Ga,, Dec. 2Qth,
1867, sister Johnson, wife of Judge Berry D.
Johnson, and daughter of Eld. Sylvanus ®bson. She
was born in Wilkes county, Ga., in 1807.
In the death of sister Johnson, a mother in Israel
has fallen, one of the brightest ornaments of the church
is removed, and the entire community has lost a most
estimable woman. In dying she was calm and resigned,
“ leaning upon her beloved.” “Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord.” Pastob.
METHYINE.—Died, in Twiggs county, Ga., the 6th of
November, ’67, Mr. Wm. Methvine, aged 60 years, 8
months and 5 days.
During his first illness he hesitated about his accep
tance with God, but as his dissolution approached he
was heard to exclaim, “thank the Lord for that."
Brother Methvine was a consistent member of "the church
17 years, prayed in his family to the day of his death,
and requested his wife to continue it when he was gone.
He then called his children to him, gave them good ad
vine, bid them good by, requesting them to meet him
in heaven. Then he beckoned for his companion to
come, and as she stood by his bed, he raised his hands,
with one upon her shoulder, and said (with a look never
to be forgotten,) “ Samantha, good-by. If I could take
you all with me, I would be content.” So the good
man passed away, leaving a loving companion and four
children, his little church, and a number of friends to
to mourn their loss, but their loss is his eternal gain.

-OF
LLTERATURE, SCLENGE AND EDUCATION.
Under the head of LITERATURE, will be included
an original NOVEL, by a writer of high reputation and
acknowledged talent; and numerous shorter TALES,
SKETCHES OF TRAVEL, HISTORY AND BIOGRA
PHY, ESSAYS, PAPERS OF WIT AND HUMOR,
POETRY and MISCELLANIES.
For those who prefer more solid reading, it is pro
posed to give one or more articles in each number, pre
senting in a clear and popular style, the latest discove
ries in various brhnches of SCIENCE ; for this purpose
arrangements have been made which cannot fail to make
this portion of the Magazine at once useful and attrac
tive. <
EDUCATION, a topic of the highest importance in a
country like the United States, where the safety of the
nation depends upon the intelligence of the people, will
receive special attention.
It is not proposed to engage in partisan or sectarian
warfare, but vital questions of the day will not be neg
lected ; and the FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
condition of the country will be handled by an author
who, to a practical knowledge of business and banking,
has added a lifelong study of the science of Public
Wealth.
Contributions to the pages of the Magazine are solici
ted from all parts of our common country. American
writers and American affairs will claim the greater part
of the space at command, but not to the exclusion of
European topics. The Publishers’ first choice of a wri
ter upon the politics of the Old World was a Statesman
and Historian, now residing in London, an acknowledged
leader of the Progressive Party in Europe, and one who
“is recognized in France as the purest master of style
among living writers; graceful and delicate in descrip
tion, keen in satire, simple and imposing in his graver
eloquence; ” and they have great pleasure in announc
ing that he has accepted the propositions made to him,
and will be a regular contributor to the pages of the
Magazine.
In addition to the above features, each number will
contain a paper entitled OUR MONTHLY GOSSIP,
written in a genial style, in which Notes and Queries,
Answers to Correspondents, Anecdotes and Miscellanies
will find a place.
The Department of the LITERATURE OF THE DAY
has been confided to a gentleman ot great experience
and an unusual knowledge of books.
