Newspaper Page TextSunday School Society. The first session of the Sabbath School Society, of the Tuskegee Association, since its organiza tion last winter, will be held with the Opelika Baptist church, on the Ist, 2nd, and 3d of May, proximo. We believe that the Sabbath school cause is the cause of Christ, and every motive that can prompt us to labor for our Master, should prompt us to labor for the Sabbath school cause. The experience of great and good brethren, has already proved the utility of these societies, in promoting the interest and efficiency of Sabbath schools. It would be superfluous for us to offer any argument in their favor here. Being con vinced of their utility, let us act, and act at once, as becomes those laboring in a great and good cause, that must affect, for weal or woe, the future of our children in this life, and that to come. Never were the opposers of Christ’s truth, more on the alert, than now. Every unfair and un. scriptural means is being used by them, to engraft their pernicious errors on the minds of the unsus pecting and inexperienced. Let us oppose them by the pure word of God, from the pulpit, from the fireside, and in the Sabbath school; and while Christ reigns, and feels a concern for his truth, We will prevail. Ample arrangements will be made for the ac commodation of all who will come, and each one may feel sure of a hearty reception by the church. Let every Sabbath school in the Association, ap point its delegates, and let those attend promptly. We hope all will come, and come too in the name and spirit of our Master. Especially do we ask ministering brethren to come prepared to remain some days after the work of the Society is over. There are manifest signs of revival in our little church now, some are praying for, and expecting an outpouring of the Spirit, on that occasion. Again, we ask you, brethren, to come in the name and spirit of Jesus. S. C. Heaicn, Pastor. Opelika, Ala., April 7, 1867. “Is it Right?” The little tract with the above title, by brother J. S. Baker, ought to be in the hands of all our people. In these days of formalism and of worldly conformity, the young of our congregations should be taught the danger and evils of dancing. This little tract, in a plain, simple and very brief man ner, presents enough of the reasons to influence any sincere and conscientious Christian, and only such a -e entitled to fellowship in our churches. \k w juld be well for the membei sos each church to £ise a small amount of money and forward to b.-vnor Toon, the publisher, and procure a num ber of copies for gratuitous distribution. The time has come when the people of God, who esteem above all price the religion of the Bible, and who are willing to give their undivided influence to the preservation of spiritual Chris tianity, must set their faces, “as a flint,” against the popular amusements of the day—such as dancing, theatre-going, &c., &c. A time of ex ceeding worldliness is upon us; shall the churches lose their spiritual power, or shall they have grace equal to the emergency ? Let us watch and pray, lest we enter into temptation. E. W. W. Second Baptist Churcli, Macon. Hearing that Mr. R. G. Pardee, of New York, was to deliver a series of lectures in Macon on Sabbath Schools, and being deeply interested in the cause, I went over to avail myself of the ben efit of the lectures. Reaching Macon on Thurs day night, in company with brother L. R. L. Jen nings, we learned there was an interesting meet ing in progress in the Second Baptist church, under the supervision of brother J. L. Blitch, the efficient pastor. Mr. Pardee not arriving until Saturday evening, I accepted an invitation to unite with the pastor ancf' brotEerVowings nT the meeting. The meeting continued until Friday last. I remained, assisting brother B. to the close, brother J. being compelled to leave on Monday. Considerable interest was manifested during the entire time, quite a number presenting themselves for prayer each night. The meeting was in progress about fourteen days altogether, resulting in the addition of about fourteen to the church. Some six or eight others professed a hope, and intend uniting with the church, also— making about twenty, in all, as the result of the mrilbig. ' | I found the membership of this church a noble band of Christians. Though poor, they intend sustaining their pastor, and are making great efforts to put up a handsome house of worship in a very important part of the city. The corner stone of the building will be laid sometime during the present week. They design completing it in the course of two months, when they will have an excellent frame edifice, capable of seating about eight hundred persons. As I said, the great majority of their membership is poor, and they have quite a heavy burden to build a bouse, and sustain their pastor also. I would here ask the brethren throughout the State to aid this important work, as far as they can. One thou sand dollars is wanting to enable them to com plete their building. Will not the liberal breth ren everywhere help? They have adopted a plan in this church to sustain their pastor which 1 would strongly urge v*roii all the churches to adopt, and place their pastors above the apprehension of want while laboring in the Master’s cause. The plan is this: Fifty of the members have agreed to see that hi other Blitch shall receive, promptly and punc tually every month, one hundred dollars of his salary. There are no contingencies in this ar rangement; if the remaining members do not aid them, they will pay it themselves. How much better is this arrangement than the usual plan of failing until toward the close of the year; and then, perhaps, they find it inconvenient to pay for 1 :ie service rendered, and the minister must meet Vis oblligations as best he can. I have never had the pleasure of hearing brother H. preach, but from what I could learn, he is an an able preacher, a laborious and efficient pastor. I see a call in the last Index, from brother G. tl Connor, for a Sunday School Convention, to convene in Augusta on Thursday preceding the State Convention. I heartily approve the .meas ure, and (D. V.) will attend. Yours, fraternally, N. A. Bailey. MilUdycvilk, April Bth, 1868. L The Selma Revival. * About a month since the pastors of the Meth dist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches of this tity united t'jreir labors in a series of meetings for the revival oif eligion and the conversion of souls. These meeting have just closed, with the follow ing results 1 “To the Baptist church, fifty-five accessions; to the Presbyterian, fifty-four the M (<ho<.ist, forty-one. For such tokens of God’s willingness to hear the prayers and reward the labors of his servants, we will ever bless His holy name. Yours, fraternally, J. B. Hawthokn.

Four dollars will secure that number.

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 16,1868. gitsineiisi Department. To Correspondents. —We beg the brethren generally to furnish us with news from the churches—ordinations, pastoral changes, revivals —every thing, in fact, which enters into the current history of the denomination. Such intelligence is always thankfully received and puDlisbed promptly. In consequence of the heavy rain on Monday last, and the inclemency of the weat her since, wit h the receipt of pressing matter for our columns at a late hour, we were not able to send out our fuil edition as early this week as usual. To Correspondents. —Since our last issue, com munications of a business character have been received from the following persons, to whom we return thanks for their thoughtful attention. We trust that a larger number will bear in mind an interest which is mutual, and favor us with drafts on the Atlanta post-office, or risk their let ters by the ordinary mail, before our next issue: Rev. J. M. Stillwell, T. W. Hardwick, John L. Cheney (paid to 2384), Rr G. Hall, J. \V. Bledsoe, A. H. Pruett, Rev. L. R. L. Jennings, John T. Wingfield, Rev. E. W. Warren, Wm. Bishop, Rev. M. B. Wharton, Rev. P. A. Lawson (papers all sent promptly as requested), J. H. Burns, Rev. J. M. Callaway, Rev. W. B. Blewitt, Rev. J. F. Swanson, Rev. S. C. Hearn, G. H. Cliett, Mrs. E. A. Page, Mrs. C. E. Ilodnett, E. E. Law, J. A. Fonville, Rev. M. P. Lowry, Rev. Wm. Shelton, Rev. I. H. Goss, Rev. J. C. Leonard, Mrs. E. Clark, Mrs. Kate L. Chapman, Rev. Mat Hills man, Mrs. M. Holland, Levi Fowler, Jesse Rick etson, Thos. F. Henderson, Rev. Wm. M. Verdery, Rev. J. J. D. Renfroe, Rev. Thos. J. Cummings, Rev. Wm. L. Crawford, Rev. W. M. Pope, Rev. J. 11. Hall, Mrs. M. Florence. Personals, Transfers, etc. Rev. D. E. Butler honored us with a call on Monday last. Prof. A. E. Marshall has determined to make Atlanta his future home. Rev. T. A. Reid preached the Dedication Ser mon at Indian Creek church, De Kalb county, on Lord’s day last. A large congregation was in attendance. The name of Elder Wm. M. Davis, Cowikee, is substituted for that of B. F. Davis, Hurtville. The paper of Mrs. L. E. McAllister will be ad dressed, in future, to Lawrenceville, instead of Eufaula. The name of Deacon John L. S. Foster is trans ferred from Foster’s, Ala., to Starkville, Miss. We have been gratified at the information which has reached us, that the importance of subscrib ng for at least one hundred copies of our proposed large edition, has been taken up by many of the town and country churches, and the probability is, that by, or before, the first of May, several thousand copies will be ordered By anything ap proaching liberality on the part of the churches within our circuit, we would be fully justified in issuing double the number proposed. Can it be possible that there is a single Baptist church in Georgia, Alabama, or Florida, too poor to raise four dollars for such an enterprise? We are slow to think so. Up and at the work brethren —each one giving a small amount, and the end is reached. Forty members giving ten cents each, and one hundred copies are secured. Augusta Meeting. —Delegates to the Conven tion next week, are specially requested not to over-burthen themselves with means or money for the Index; but that each one content himself with not more than five new names with the ! funds. The idea is, hopefully eaten that, the | psfssrwffl be fully represented at Augusta, and i that 9iich representatives will be met by delegates .with smiling faces and full pui'scsy —(Note —It is ' expected that the purses alluded to will be consid erably depleted during the meeting, and that none 1 will be allowed to leave there asfulVas when they ; came.) On the 13th day of ApKl, 1867, there was, in this latitude, a considerable quantity of snow on the ground, and on the sth of May fruit received quite a shock fr-cai the frost. The morning of the 13th of April, 1868, was unusually warm until about 10 o’clock, when such a commotion was visible in the elements as to indicate a rain storm; and by noon water poured from the clouds in torrents, accompanied with hail and heavy wind. Since Monday brisk cold winds and heavy rains have prevailed. The ministers and members of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and other churches of kindred faith, entertain the opinion, generally, that through the most extensive circulation of their papers the greatest amount of good is accomplished. This idea, which is thoroughly orthodox, is acted upon with commendable zeal by the ministers of those churches, especially. S3O, S3O, S3O, S3O. A Communion Set, consisting of a Flagon, two Gob lets, and two Plates, triple silver-plated, worth thirty dollars, will be presented to any church sending us a club of 25 new subscribers at the rate of 44 each. Churches desiring a more or less costly set, can be accommodated by sending us a larger or smaller number of subscribers in proportion to the above. Pubi.tc Park. —Quite an interest has recently been aroused in Mobile, on the importance and practicability of converting “Choctaw Point Swamp” into a public park. The subject is warm ly advocated by numerous writers in the-Register, and the city authorities urged to purchase the property, without delay. Important to Sunday Schools. —Attention is called to the advertisement of Messrs. Sheldon & Connor, in this week’s Index. They have a full supply of everything in the Book and Stationery line. Sunday schools can buy of them at publish er’s prices. Every railroad in Georgia will pass delegates to the State Convention at Augusta, and return them for one fare. Full fare must be paid, in every instance, from the starting point, and return tickets will be provided by the Convention. “Jesus has some dreadful words concerning those who use language to gratify their own feel ings at the expense of other people’s feelings.— Dr. Kirk on the Tongue." There was a severe frost in the vicinity of Knoxville on the morning of the Bth inst., which, it is feared, did much damage to the fruit. and early vegetables. There must be several hundred thousand Bap tists in the Southern States who have not read ten numbers of a Baptist paper in as many years. Is the Income Tax Constitutional? —Acon- siderable number of income tax payers in New York, have decided to test the constitutionality of this tax, and have employed Mr. W. O. Bartlett, as their counsel in the case; and this gentleman pub lishes in two of the New York papers an elaborate legal treatise, going to show that a tax on income is unconstitutional, as well as un wise and unequal, and that it may be successfully resisted in the courts of law. Another Foolish Undertaking Cotem plated.—Captain Thomas Garnett, of Chicago, proposes to cross the Atlantic in a small boat, twenty feet in length, five feet and a halt breadth of beam, and two feet six inches depth from keel to gunwale, and constructed on the life-boat prin ciple. He will ili nin the middle of June, going down the St. La-vrunce, and taking for company only a Newfoundland dog. Henry Ward Beecher returns the handsome sum of $38,348 as his personal income for 1867. ThtTprofite ot •‘Norwood” are included no doubt. GENEROUS PROPOSAL. S. E. Hale, of Covington, Texas, proposes to be one of two hundred who will subscribe for five copies, each, of the Texas Christian Advocate for a year, to be sent to destitute fajnilies to be named by the party subscribing. The Publishers say, that for each five thus subscribed, they will add another, to be sent to the family which the party who sends for the five may name. In submitting the above to our readers, we would modify the prop osition in one particular, and ask— If there are not 200 subscribers in Georgia and Alabama who appre ciate their paper as highly as Mr. Hale of Texas does his “Advocate ,” and who would be willing to invest for five subscribers each, for a year, at the reduced rate of $3.50, and for each five thus subscribed, the Pub lisher of the Index & Baptist to add another? The Index & Baptist would say further, that destitute Baptist ministers would he included as the proposed recipients of the paper. accepted by the party of the second part. Will the parties of the first part respond ? Preaching. Appointments. Rev. H. F. Buchanan will, Providence permitting, preach at Social Circle on next Saturday night, and on Lord’s day—morning and night. On Monday night, at Madison-, Tuesday night at CrawfordviHe. Wendesday night at Thompson. Brethren at the places named will confer a favor by letting the appointments be known as extensively as circumstances will admit. Advertising ill Religious Papers. The “Publishers’ and Advertisers’ Index,” of Cincinnati, publishes the following sensible re marks respecting the value of advertisements in religious newspapers. Advertising in religious papers is very justly regarded by shrewd business men as superior to that of other mediums, even of greater circula tion, for the following reasons, which will com mend themselves to the business public: 1. Subscribers much more highly esteem their religious paper. It is not merely glanced at and thrown away, but treasured up and loaned to friends and neighbors, thus augmenting consider ably the nominal circulation. 2. The conscientious care which religious edi tors exercise, to keep out of their columns every thing of injurious or immoral tendency, gives weight to advertisements that are allowed to ap pear. 3. The class of subscribers which religious pa pers address is, of course, the very best, as regards intelligence, character and social standing. 4. They circulate almost entirely among those who always buy the best of everyr thing, and are willing and able to pay for it, and who encour age improvements and articles of value. 5. Advertising is not their main source of reve nue, aud consequently An advertisement of any article in their columns is really an endorsement by the publishers of the character and good stand ing of the advertiser, and hence, should the read er desire that article, lie has no hesitancy in send ing for it. 6. As many families bind their religious papers, an advertisement paid for now may bring custom even years hence. We do not mean to say that other journals are not good advertising media. We presume that any paper will pay a good interest on an invest ment 1 . In many instances the leading political and monetary papers are the best, where it is the sole atm to reach other business men; but in eight cases out of ten the extensive advertisers will find more profitable returns from advertising in the religious press than from double the amount in vested elsewhere. The Impeachment Trial. The chamber was well-tilled to-day, in anticipa tion that testimony of be presented. The British Minister, Mr. Thornton, was in the Diplomatic Gallery, which was better filled than heretofore. Gen. Thomas was placed on the stand again, and General Butler subjected him to a pretty sharp cross-examination, with results that seemed rather satisfactory to the Managers. Lieutenant General Sherman was next called to the stand, and general interest was exhibited in the galleries as he came forward. He proceeded to give his testimony in a clear, deliberate manner, particularly satisfactory to the reporters wheu it was interrupted by an objection putin by the pro secution against testimony as to conversation be tween the President and Gen. Shennan, on the 13th of February. The argument by counsel for and against the ad mission of this testimony was a protracted one, *nd brought out some sharp sparriug, serving toTe lieve the tedium of the dry, legal proceedings. The argument had not been concluded when the Court took a recess at 2.30, p.m., and was continu ed after the recess by Mr. Wilson, of the Mana gers. During the progress of the argument Gen. Sherman occupied a seat on the stand to the right of the Chief Justice. He is anxious to get in his evidence to-day, in order to leave tomorrow on his duties in connection with the Indian commis sion. It is hardly possible that his testimony will be finished to-day. The next witness for the defence will probably be Barton Able, of the St. Louis Disjxitch, inrelation to the President’s speech at St. Lmis. At 3.30, the decision of the Chief Justice that the evidence was admissable, was overruled by the Senate, by a vote of 28 to 23, a number of Re publican Senators, however, voting in favor of admitting it, amongst them Messrs. Sumner, Fes senden, Fowler, Sprague, Van Winkle, Anthony, Grimes, Morgan, Trumbull and Willey. The question, “What do you know about the creation of the Department of the Atlantic?” was then put. Objected to by prosecution, aud objection sus tained by the Senate. The question: “Did the President make any proposition to you to become Secretary of War ad interim ?” Objected to, and the point is being argued as we go to press. It seems to be probable that the proposition to allow three speeches on a side after the evidence is in, will be adopted by the Senate, in which case Mr. Bingham, of the Managers, will probably make the review of the case, Mr. Wilson will deal with the law points, and Mr. Boutwell deal the in vective. On the defence Mr. Evarts will probably lead and Mr. Stanberry conclude the case.—Even ing Star , April 1 1th. State Horticultural Society—Meeting of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Tennessee Hor ticultural Society met yesterday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Present —W. Pritchett, Chairman, L. C. Lishj r , E. Truitt, Nat. F. Dortch, H. 0. Jackson, W. H. Harris, W. H. Lyle, and P.®L. Nichol. Absent—A. F. Goff, Tal bot Fanning, Dr. Geo. S. Blackie, and Dempsey Weaver. P. L. Nichol was appointed permanent Secre tary. The action of the special Committee on Flow ers at the last regular meeting of the Society, was approved. The following standing committees were ap pointed: Fruits— John M. Lea, Joseph Vaulx, A. F. Goff, Hiram Vaughn, F. R. Rains. Vegetables —J. W. Hamilton, B. R. McKinney, Leon Geny, W. H. Lyle, Dr. W. Blackman. Flowers— D. F. Wilkin, Dr. George S. Blackie F. 11. French, J. M. Hamilton, Dempsey Weaver, A permanent committee of three, consisting o. Dr. W. H. Harris, W. H. Lyle and P. L. Nichol,f was appointed to set apart tables for exhibitors, and to arrange and classify fruits, vegetables and dowel's. Dr. George S. Blackie, F. H. French and W. Pritchett were appointed a special committee to confer with editors and correct sheets of publica tions made under the sanction of the Society. It was ordered that all articles for exhibition be received by the Committee of Arrangement from Bto 11 o’clock am., on the first Saturday of each month, and that notice be given to the pub lic that no plants will be received for exhibition after that hour. The Board adjourned to the second Saturday in May, at 2 p.m.— Union dk Dispatch, 12tA. Atlanta Board of Health—Mortuary Report. In the subjoined report will be found the list of in terments lor the first quarter of the current year. DEATHS. 1868—First Quarter. Whites. Colored. January 3 21 February .13.: 20 March.... 13 25 29 66 It is suggested that a more correct apprehension of the sanitary condition of the city, .*8 indicated by this report, may be realized from a knowledge of the popu lation of the city. According to the last census it was 20,288, which, doubtless, since the enumeration, has been increased. It will, perhaps, not be out of place to reproduce that portion of a former report that furnished tho number of deaths for the corresponding quarters of the two previous years: ** DEATHS. Whites. Colored. 1866 First Quarter 82 135 1867 — First Quarter ...36 47 To a proper understanding of the relative mortality, it may be necessary to state that the whites numbered 10,940, and the colored, 9,348. It will be perceived that though the latter are not so numerous, the mortality among them.for the last two and a quarter years, has been greater—the mortuary record for each quarter representing that result. J N. Simmons, Chairman Board of Health. Peaches. —Mr. James Underwood, who lives seven miles north of the city, on White’s creek, who is an extensive grower of peaches, and whose orchard is on a ridge, reports to us that the late frosts touched his trees so lightly that no dam age whatever is done to them. His prospect for an abundant crop was never better. From other parties whose orchards are on the hills, we have similar reports. Those whose orchards are on the lowlands will have scarcely' any fruit.—Nash ville Union & Dispatch. At Indianapolis, a verdict of $2,500 damages has been found against the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central Railroad, in favor of the family of an engineer who was killed by the explosion of an engine. The case is important, and has been taken on appeal to the -SBfM-eme Court. The railway company claimed that it was not bound to pay for any accident occuring to em ployees.

COLCLOUGH. —Died, at bis residence, in Greene county, Ga., on the night of the 13tti of March, 1868, John ‘Colclough, in the 63th year of his age. About the first of March he was prostrated by a vio lent pneumonia, which, in spite of attentive nurses and skillful physicians, co..tiuued to make steady progress ! until death—to him a kind messenger—came to his re lief. Brother C. was born the Bth of December, 1300, ! in Warren county, North Carolina, but was removed a child, to Middle Georgia, whe e he Spent the of his lile. He was a man of steady, industrious I habits, and had, by careful attention to his own busi ! ness, accumulated a considerable estate, and though the I greater portion was swept away by the recent political tornado, yet a snfficiency was left to make his family ■ comfortable, so far as property can do it. Among the ; many noble traits which adorned his character, were ! those of honesty, candor, and truth. About the year 1830, he was baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist church at Shiloh, Greene county, but subsequently changed it to what is now Macedonia Baptist church, of the same county, about the year 1539, at which time he was elected deacou, which office he not only continued to hold, hut actively and faithfully continued to dis charge in said church, the many duties of sad office as long as he lived. His loss is sensibly and sadly felt by neighbors, relatives, church, his former servants—in fact, by the whoie community, but most keenly aud sorely by his greatly distressed widow and wteping children and grand-children. And now he is dead, there is solid comfort in the thought that he died the deutn of the Christian. His mind, to the last, was cool, calm, clear, composed, collected, sensible of every pass ing thing, of the progaess of the disease, of the giving way of his frame, of the nearness of death. He forgot nothing, he omitted nothing, but seemed more like one in perfect health arranging for the dissolution of some one else. And, finally, calling up his family, he gave them, one at a time, a final farewell for time, and a parting admonition to meet him again, and then gently closed his eyes on earthly things and fell asleep in Jesus. Heed, dear children, a sainted father’s dying admonition. W. A. O. JSpfrial Jlelijjious Jjtoficcs. The Sunday School Convention. The Convention of Sunday School workers, called to meet in Augusta, Ga., in connection with the “Georgia Baptist Convention,” will meet in the Greene street Baptist church on Thuksday Evening, April 23rd, at 8 o’clock.

As this will be but a preparatory meeting, and as we can borrow but little time Irom the Convention, it is the opinion of many judicious brethren, that it will be best to have only the above exercises. It is confidently hoped that the Convention will allow the Sunday School people to occupy a portion of Saturday after noon. Thursday night, Friday morning until 11 o’clock, and Saturday afternoon, will afford ample opportunity to discuss these topics. aprl6-2t Baltimore, April 2, 1868. I write to inform your readers that the churches in Baltimore are preparing for a hospitable reception of the delegates to the Southern Baptist Convention, to be held here, beginning May 7th, aud that the Committee of Arrangements will secure the entertainment of all who favor us with their presence on that occasion. The churches in every State are assured of a cordial wel come to their messengers. By an understanding with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company-, delegates paying full fare to Baltimore will receive a free return as far as that line reaches. The Committee are endeav oring to extend this stipulation to all the railroad and steamboat connections, and will probably be able to announce the fact in a few days. Delegates, on arriving in this city, will report them selves at the Seventh Baptist church, corner of Paca and Saratoga streets. The Committee on Reception will be present in the Lecture Room from 7 a.m. till 10 p.m., daily, to provide homes. • *. J. F. Weishampel, Jr., ts Secretary Committee of Arrangements. Augusta, Ga., 6th April, 1868. Your readers are aware that the Georgia Baptist Con vention will meet with the First (Green street) Baptist church of this city, on Friday, 24th inst. The Georgia, Macon & Augusta, Macon & Western, South-Western, Atlanta & West Point, Western & At lantic, Central, and Atlantic & Gulf Railroads have responded to our enquiry, and will pass delegates over their respective roads for one fare. Delegates will pay full fare coining to Augusta, and will return free on a certificate signed by the officers of the Convention. On arriving in Augusta by the day trains, delegates are requested to repair at once to the Lecture Rood-, in rear of the church, (entrance on Jackson street,) where a Committee will be in attendance to assign them homes. Those arriving by night trains will please report at the same place the following morning, by 8 o’clock, if pos sible. E. Mustin, D. R. Wright, D. B. Plumb, H. H. Hickman, Jno. U. Myer, K. McCord, ts A. M. Jackson. To the Baptists of Georgia. Dear Brethren: There are at Mercer University a number of young brethren pursuing a course of study preparatory to the ministry. Since the opening of the present term, it has become apparent that funds cannot be collected to pay their expenses. In this emergency, the Executive Committee appeal to you. Shall our beneficiaries be sent home for the want of means to sustain them? This question you must answer. The Committee would especially call upon the immediate frieuds of our young brethren, and the churches where they hold membership, to do something in their behalf. Funds may be sent up to the Convention, or forwarded directly to the undersigned. Thos. J. Burnett, Tr. Ga. B. 0. Madison, Ga., March 9, 1868. mhl2-eowtapr24 To the Churches of the Bethel Association. Dear Brethren: —The Committee of Domestic Mis sions have appointed brother W. N. Chaudoin to visit you and assist you io getting up Sabbath schools ; and he is also authorized to take up collections for the sup port of brother Hogue, and for the mission in which he is engaged. Brother Chaudoin will look out and preach in the destitute portions of the Bethel Associa tion. Brother Chaudoin is well known to all the churches, and does not need the commendation of the Commit tee. It is the earnest request of the Committee that the ministers and brethren generally will afford brother C. all the aid in their, power in the good and great work which he has to do. Thomas Musk, Feb. 13, ’ 868. Ohairman D. M. 6. Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Brethren who have given bonds are requested to carry ' or send the amounts now due to the Georgia Baptist Convention, at Augusta, or to the Southern Baptist Convention, at Baltimore.

A meeting of the Sunday School Society of this Asso ciation will be held with the Baptist church at Opelika, May Ist, 2d and 3d. In addition to the regular busi ness of the Society, an attractive programme has been arranged, and our best Sunday School brethren have been engaged to deliver addresses, give model lessons, etc. Efforts are beiug put forth to make the occasion one of great, interest and profit. In view of the fact that the Alabama Baptist Sunday School Convention meets at Montgomery Ist of June, it is highly important that we shall appoint delegates, aud otherwise co-operate with that body. This great work is now engaging the attention of brethren all over the country. Let us not be behind in the cause. Let every Sunday School send delegates, so that we may be thoroughly organized “In union there is strength, in counsel there is wisdom,” and in organization there is efficiency. Delegates and friends meeting with us may be sure of a cordial reception at the hands of the Opelika biethren. T. C. Botkin, President of the Society. P.

GARDENERS AND ± FRUIT GROWERS Will materially ndvanoe their interests by investing money in the FLOUIt OF RA W BONE, made by the Oakley Mills Many factoring Company , Marietta, Geor gia. J. F. NUTTINU, Agent. W. L. MANSFIELD, Secretary, Every one who has carefully considered the subject knows that Bone is a first-rate manure. The difficulty has been heretofore that a pure article of unmixed bone dust could not be obtained. Now the article is supplied bv a home company in your midst, who have, at a heavy outlay, erected a large Manufactory, and put in ma chinery that takes the raw, unsteamed, unburned Bones and crushes «nd pulverizes them to dust, and this is done in so plain and public a manner that any one who will take the trouble can see that it is genuine Raw Bone and nothing else. Do you know that the farmers of England have been greatly enriched by bones collect ed in the Southern and Middle States and sent across the Ocean to be ground and used as manure? This is a fact, and one not very creditable to the enter prise of our own people, for, if they can make it profit able to take these banes thousands of miles over land and sea to enrich their soil, we ought certainly to be willing to use them at home, where no such long trans portation is required. FLOUIt OF RAW BONE is the cheapest, most relia ble and most powerful fertilizer in the market. The very best Super-phosphates are indebted almost entire ly to the bone they contain for their virtues, but are more than half made up of other materials, many of them utterly worthless, while it is a generally admitted fact that most of the Guauos in the market are very largely' adulterated. The imperfect condition in which bone has been nec essarily used heretofore, bv reason of the impossibility of reducing it to fine powder, has been a serious draw back to its use and value Now, however, this difficul ty is effectually overcome, by a recent application of machinery which reduces ruw bone to the condition of dour. The value of Raw Bone is thus increased fully one hundred per cent., making it as rapid in its action as dissolved bone, and much more durable. Raw Bone is one-third organic animal matter, yielding upon de composition four and one-half percent, ammonia. The rapid decomposition set up by reason of the minute di vision of particles disengages its earthy phosphates, ren dering it immediately effective. We warrant our Flour of Raw Bone to be perfectly pure, and will give absolute guarantees to that effect. This article hastens the ripening of all crops , it gives strength, to the stalk and weight to t)ie grain, it promotes the growth aiul health of trees and improves the favor of fruit ; it does not exhaust, but permanently improves and strengthens the soil. In dry seasons it is well known that the use of Peruvian Guano is ruinous to crops, while Flour of Raw Bone can be used with the same advantage in dry seasons as in wet. Flour of Raw Bone contains, by the analysis of Dr. A. A. Hayes, of Boston, and Dr. Leibig, of Baltimore, 49.28 per cent. Phosphate of Lime, and 83 per cent, ani mal matter, yielding 4.54 per cent. Ammonia —more than double the amount claimed for most of the fertili zers in the market. A more recent analysis, at our re quest, by Prof. John Darby, of East Alabama College, at Auburn, gives of Phosphate of Lime. 50.47 per cent.; Organic Matter, 34.26 per cent., yielding Ammonia, 4.85 per cent.; Carbonate of Lime, 4 percent. Prof. Darby writes us: “One hundred pounds of your Bone Flour is equal in its fertilizing power to three thousand pounds good stable manure.” For sale bv GLENN. WRIGHT & CARR, Atlanta. W. H. YOUNG.
