.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 puolished promptly. of any character, to insure an in sertion in the issue of the current week, must reach us by Monday. Let all of our friends bear this in mind. Sudden illness in the family of the pro prietor of this paper, prevented his attend ance, last week, upon the session of the Re hoboth Association; and, he regrets to state, the health of his family and himself is riot such as to encourage tiie 'hope of meeting such engagements this week. To those who may attend the annual meetings of the sea son, and who are as deeply interested in the success of every denominational enterprise as those who have them specially in charge, we must look and hope that the wantsof the re ligious press — Index & Baptist —will not be passed over without an effort for its further success and usefulness. The appearance of our paper is delayed this week, in consequence of sickness and the large amount of extra work claiming the at tention of all concerned in the office of the Franklin Printing House. Dk.J.L. Grant— Mr. Lewis Lawshe.— Os the sudden deaths of worthy citizens whom the people of Atlanta have been called recently to lament, there were none more highly esteemed than Dr. Grant, and Mr- Lawshe. They were both our warm, personal friends, and we were greatly shocked when the death of each was announced, and our deepest sympathies awakened for the be reaved families. Mr. Lawshe was born in Lewisburg, Pa., August Ist, 1817, and was married to Miss Eliza Atkins, of Butts coun ty, Georgia, the 7th of December, 1843. T. We are pained to chronicle the sudden death of Mr. Jas N. Ells, of Augusta. He died of congestion i<f the brain, tit his resi dence, last Friday night. Mr. Ells was a newspaper man of ability and tact, and had, at different times, been connected with the Journal <£• Messenger and Georgia Citizen, Macon; Morning News, Savannah. Baptist Banner, Atlanta, Field and Fireside, True Democrat, Transcript, and National Republi can, Augusta. He was local editor of the last mentioned paper at the time of his death, lie leaves a wife and many friends to mourn his wholly unexpected and untimely end. The Child’s Delight is published and mailed to subscribers at Macon, Ga. Alabama.—The following Associations hold their annual sessions this week : Bethlehem. Ten Island, Liberty, North River, Warrior River, Union. Georgia.— On Friday and Saturday after this week, the annual sessions of the follow ing Georgia Associations convene : Columbus, Flint River, Middle, Middle Cherokee, Sarep ta, Washington. For places of meeting, see special column. • WP'Nfs w Advertisements- —It would afford ’’ s pleasure to give a special notice of each ne\f card which appears in our columns this week, did space and time allow. To direct the at tention of our readers to them is all that we can do at presest. In future issues we hope to give such attention to each as their claims demand. Georgia Railroad. —This great thorough fare is now under the superintendence of Mr. S. Iv. Johnson, its former Assistant Superin tendent, who is a railroad man of large expe rience and ability, and is a worthy successor of Col. Cole. Under Mr. J.’s energetic man agement, the interests of the Company and of the business public will, we are confident, continue to be faithfully subserved. Ma rried, on Sabbath morning last, Sept. 20th, at 10|- o’clock, at the residence of the bride’s father, by Rev TV. Pegg, Mr. Wil liam C. Whitmire and Miss Jennie—daugh ter of Deacon B. B. Touchstone, of Fulton county. In March, 1862, Billy was a steady youth in the Franklin Printing House. He ap prenticed himself to the proprietors to learn the business of Pressman. His purpose was kept steadily in view, and success has crowned his efforts. He was ever willing, and prompt whenever an emergency arose for extra work. As he was then, so he is now, and, as a con sequence, William is never on the “Tramp,” but finds constant employment at home. He is, at present, at the head of the Pressroom Department of the same establishment, and, in addition to the thousands of beautiful iin pressions which are daily and weekly made by the smaller machines of the house, he presides with his usual dignity and watchful ness over regular issues of the Christian In dex db S. W. Baptist — Scott's Monthly Maga zine— The Sunday School Banner, and vari ous pamphlets and books which are executed at this office. As an addition is made to the large family of the Printing concern, we know that Wil liam will act well his part in efforts to insure satisfaction and success to every interest con fided to the F. P. H. Success to him and his young wife. Riot at Camilla. —A riot occurred at Ca milla, the county site of Mitchell county, in South-Western Georgia, on the 19th inst. There have been several statements as to the origin and results of the riot pub lished in the daily papers. We can not be sure of giving a correct version of this un fortunate affair ; but we make an abstract of the sworn statement of several respectable citizens of Mitchell county, including M. J. Poore, the Sheriff: On Saturday, the 19th, the citizens of Ca milla were informed that armed negroes were assembling in large numbers at China Giove Church, on their way to attend the political meeting advertised to be held at Camilla on that day. The Sheriff, with six other citi zens, went out to meet the procession as it came towards town, and remonstrated with Messrs. Murphy and Pierce, who seemed to be the leaders, telling them if the crowd would stack their arms outside of town, there would be no objection to their holding a po litical meeting, and they would not be inter fered, with. Murphy and Pierce declared they had nothing to do with the armed men; the weapons belonged to them, and they w ere in the habit of carrying them wherever they went. The Sheriff warned them that it was his duty, as a peace officer, to forbid the as sembling of armed men at political meetings, and assured they entered the towii THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA., THU RSDAY, SEPT. 24,1868. with their arms there would be a breach of the p< ace. But his remonstrance was unheed ed, and the column shortly after marched into town in regular order, headed by Pierce and Putney, both armed. There were three of four hundred men in the pn cession, at least half of whom were armed with guns or pis tols, and many of them were t oisy and threatening in their conduct. As the head of the column approached the square, an intoxicated citizen, named Johns, approach ed within a few feet of the musicians and ordered them to cease playing. The music continued and the column moved on, and as it was passing, Johns,- who had a gun, fired, but not in the direction of the crowd. The armed negroes immediately fired a volley, some of the shots at Johns, but most of them in the direction of a store, where a number of unarmed citizens were collected, wounding six of them. About twenty citizens, who were armed, fired into the column, killing t.w<# negroes and wound ing a considerable number. The negroes at once fled to a thick cluster of timber some -distance north of the court-house, where an. attempt was made by Pierce to rally thenr. About thirty citizens, some uj tla.-m myuwt ed, immediately made a charge and routed the whole force. Seven negroes were killed, and about forty wounded. The dead were decently buried, and the wounded properly cared for. Judge Vason and Mr. T. H. Johnston, se lected by Lieut. Howard, the Bureau Agent, to go to Camilla to find out the facts, left there on the 21st, and report all quiet, and no apprehension felt of any further trouble. They say the citizens acted under the orders of the % Sheriff as his posse. They think there is no necessity for additional force to keep the peace. The negroes in the county are all quiet, and there is no bad feeling between them and the whites. “Mr. Jones,” said Mrs. J., with an air of triumph —“don’t you think marriage is a means of grace ?” “Well, yes,” growled Jones; “I suppose anything is a means of grace that breaks down pride and leads to repentance.” An Inventor has made application at the Patent Office, for what he calls an improved lever. He professes to be “able to raise any thing with it.” We wonder if it will answer for raising the wind I — Godey. Correspondents will save us much time, labor and auxiety often, by giving in every instance, the name of the post-office, at which they regularly receive their letters and papers, and by signing their names to their communications. Should they take the liberty after writing the name of their office, to give the month, day, and year in which the writing is performed, no offence will be taken. ts. THE NEWS. ALABAMA. The Legislature met in extra session on thg 16th. McCraw, Speaker of the House, havins resigned, G. F. Harrington, of Mobile, war elected Speaker, without opposition. Gov. Smith’s Message was short, arid enjoined early provision for a registration law. Committees were appointed by each House to draft a bill in accordance with the Message; but no defi nite action has yet been had. It is reported that a large number of the members are op posed to registration, and desire to have no election in November. In the Senate, on the 2U>t, » resolution was adopted asking the President to send U. S. soldiers to the State to aid in preserving the peaee. The damage to the railroad between Mo bile and Montgomery has been repaired, and travel is now uninterrupted. The trains go through on regular schedule time. A company was organized at Gadsden, on the 2d instant, and a charter obtained, under the amended corporation acts of the State, with a capital stock of $4 500,000, to carry out the great enterprise of making the waters of the Coosa river navigable. This enter prise successfully carried out will make unin terrupted communication from Rome to Mo bile and New Orleans,and would be of great advantage to a large section of country em bracing parts of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. Gov. Smith and five members of the Leg lature left for Washington on the 23d with the Memorial of the Legislature asking the President for troops. MISSISSIPPI. There is much sickness of a billions type prevailing troughout the State, mostly con fined to children. A gentleman residing in Hinds county has realized S4OOO this year from his shipments of peaches to the New Orleans maiket. And he is now shipping tomatoes to the same city. The Coahomiun reports that the cotton crop of Coahoma county will not exceed one half of an average crop. In Lee county, cotton is .represented to promise a large average yield. The damage to cotton in Scott county is esti mated at from 35 to 50 per cent. In the Tal lahatchie region cotton had been seriously in jured by the worm up to the 12th. Cotton reports from Choctaw are discouraging. In DeSoto, the crop is cut off one half. The same report comes from the Pearl Rivet counties. The Bay St. Louis Gazette furnishes the following statement of a curious natural phe nomenon : “In several places on our lake coast there are spots, usually of a few hun dred \ardsin diameter, where the needle of the surveyor’s compass loses all at once its cunning, and will oscillate and spin round as if possessed. Several of these places are near West Pearl River, opposite Fort Pike, in the marsh; another one nearer home is on Judge Daniels’ plantation, on Mulatto Bayou, in a swamp skirting between the swamp and high land above the great shell bank.” LOUISIANA. Gov. War mouth has issued his proclama tion callmg Tor an election of Presidential “Hectors and members of Congress, on the 3d of November. An effort is being made in the Legislature to deprive the State courts of. the power to naturalize foreigners. A bill to that effect has been introduced in the House, and re ferred to the Judiciary Committee. The courts of New Orleans are crowded daily with foreigners seeking naturalization. The Caddo Gazette , of the 12th, says : The receipts of cotton during the past week have been heavy for the season. Planters report that they will make from one-half to two thirds of a full crop. The Franklin (St. Mary) Planters’ Banner says the cane crop is magnificent, and the weather most favorable. The Clinton Patriot says cotton is arriving quite briskly. The weather is all that could be desired, and planters are pushing all hands, to keep up with their work. The crop will suffer some from the ravages of the worms but not to the extent anticipated a short time ago. GEORGIA. The following appointments, by Gov. Bui lock, have been confirmed by the Senate: Hon. William Schley, of the county of Chat ham, to be Judge of the Superior Courts of the Eastern Circuit for the term of eight years. Hon. John S. Bigby, of the county of Coweta, to be Judge of the Superior m Courts of the Tallapoosa Circuit for the sterna of eight years. Hon. Cornelius D. Forsyth, of the county of Paulding, to be Solicitor General of the Tallapoosa Circuit for the term of four years. An Agricultural Fair and Pic-Nio is to be held in Thomasvilie, on the 15th October next. The Executive Committee publish a card \n Enterprise soliciting subjects fi»r exhibitiou—stock, poultry, agricultural pro ducts, agricultural implements, domestic manufactures, etc. The planters of Thom as county are calling fur seed wheat. It is believed the clay Igjids of that section produce remunerative crops. A Savannah cotton factor, who asserts a de sire to help the planters, advises that they sell their cotton at pre-ent rat- s, fbr the next few weeks, and place themselves and their f.-.cloi s in such a situation, that, if prices ma terially decline in December, they may then be enabled to hold the balance of their crop. The Macon Telegraph, of a recent date, says: “We saw a cotton stalk at the ware house of Hardeman & Sparks, about five feet high and full of bolls, which was stripped of every leaf, and the limbs perfectly covered with the webs of the caterpillar. It was brought in by a planter who says that but. for the destructive work of the Caterpillar, he would have-anade a good crop of cotton from the amount of land planted, whpreas he will not make the half of what his crop proin ised three or four weeks ago.” FLORIDA. Reports from Columbia and adjoining coun ties represent cotton as hopelessly ruined by the caterpillar—not a leaf left, and all the top bolls eaten up in some fields, all more or less injured. A half crop, as compared with last year’s crop, is the utmost limit. In some places the fields look like a fire had passed through them. TEXAS. The editor of the Corsican Observer has seen a peach measuring nine and three quar ters inches in circumference, which was raised in Limestone county. The Seguin Journal says the people out there get up sorgho syrup equal to the best imported. There are, it sc-ems, manufactu rers who go about from place to place work ing up the crop fbr part of the proceeds. To the Baptists of Georgia. Dear Brethren: In response to the Circular sent out by the Execu'ive Committee under inst. uctions from the Convention, when n session at Augusta, in April last, the following sums have been placed in my hands to aid in sustainingyoung brethren at Mercer University, who are studing with a view to the ministry— to-wit: From Madison church, by T J Burney $25 00 From LaGrange church, by brother Awtry 26 00 From two brethren at the Convention 10 00 From Warrenton church, by A R Morgan 14»00 From M J Wellborn, for self and four others 25 00 From Augusta church, by D B Plumb 20 00 From Bairds church, by J R Sanders 40 00 From A J Cheeves 5 00 From J W Fears, Macon church 100 00 From Rome church, by C M Harper 20 18 From Win C Davis, Batonton 500 From Rome church, by J W Pullen 87 78 From C A Davis, Greensboro. ... 25 00 From D E Butler, Collection at Stone Mountain Association, for brother W A Brooks 80 00 $382 96 ' A large portion of the above was used in paying ex penses at the close of the last term. There are at pres ent seven brethren iinder one patronage of the Conven tion, and still further aid will be required to meet ex penses jpE-tile current term. The Central Association, ft&Tvorani session, resolved to sustain one wbr. jvas received from a church in her bounds. The Committee is alsp happy to see that brottier Srnrke, of the Savannah church,ba» pledged himself to supply one-tenth of the entire-deficiency. Nothing has been heard from many, .brethren to whom circulars were addressed. May we not hope to hear from all by the Ist of December next? The Committee feel no doubt but that many other brethren whp feel called to preach the gospel w r ould gladly avail themselves of the benefits of our Univer sity, if the means could be had to sustain them. The Committee would suggest to brethren in every part of our State not to wait to be applied to in person, hut to forward to the treasurer such amounts as they are able and willing to contribute to this noble object. There is no probability that more wiil be furnished than will be needed; let all then, come up to the help of this good cause. In behalf of the Executive Committee, TIIO. J. BURNEY, Treasurer. Madison, Sept. 21, 1868. 2t gpteneal. EPPS—POLLARD.—Married, at the residence of the bride’s mother, on the 10th inst., by Elder John Harris, Rev. Grief W. Epps, and Miss Martha Pollard, all of Harris county, Ga. (©bituarj). BETTS.—Capt. Elisha Betts, the subject of this no tice, was born in Lunenberg county, Va., November 22d, 1788, and died at. bis residence, in Barbour county, Ala., May 24th, 1868, in the 80th year of his age. No particular disease marked the approach of his dissolu tion : but exhausted uature gave way under the weight of years, and he departed life caimly, cheerfully, and with the blessed assurance of his acceptance with God in Heaven, his eternal reward. In life he held and prac ticed many noble and distinguished traits of character. Frank, generous, honest, and hu-nane, he walked through life with firmness and decision. He attached himself to the Baptist Church in Eutaula, Ala., 1838, hut subse quently obtained a letter of dismission, and united with Antioch, near his residence, of which church he was a member at his decease, and ever afterward supported in a high degree the character of a benevolent and chris tian-heartedgentleman. He leaves an aged and afflicted wife and a circle of friends to.mourn his loss ; but their loss is his eternal gain, being gathered as a ripe shock into the garner of the Lord, “where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.” Friend, WALKER.—Died in Summerville, Ala., on the 14th inst., Mrs. Mary F. Walker, wife of Dr. A. M. Walker. She was born on the 6th of January, 1826, and was bap tized at Social Circle, Walton county, by Rev. U. T. Wilkes, about twenty years ago. The death of this es timable woman has filled her home with gloom and sadness. She has been removed in the midst of health -and great usefulness, illustrating in a remarkable man lier the mysterious ways of Divine Providence. In the various relations of life she was wise, benevolent, kind, and affectionate. She has left two little ones of tender age, too young to estimate the treasure they have lost. Her stricken husband and sorrowing sisters mourn in the depths of grief; yet not as those who have no hope, for her consistent Christian deportment left the consol ing assurance that she had walked with God in her earthly pilgrimage, so now she rejoices with the re deemed around the throne of God, clad in garments of praise and a robe of righteousness made white in the blood of the Lamb. T. B. S. NEWSOM.—Died, a few days ago, near Ellerslie, Harris county, Ga„ at the residence of her grandmoth er, Mrs. Wilder Phillip*, Mrs. Margaret Ann Newsom, aged 40 years. Her disease, of man) months’ duration, mm«o dyspepsia. She was baptized into Friendship church, Tallapoosa county, Ala., some ten years ago, by Elder ChaVles Burks. At the time of her death she was a member of Bethesda church, near her, having lived a consistent, pious life during her profession of religion; and cheered in her last illness with strong assnrances of her acceptance in Christ.

With the advent of another Cotton Season, we renew to ou friends and patrons the offer of our service in the storage and sale of their cotton. We have demon strated the fact by the experience ot past seasons, and particularly of the last, that Atlanta is one of the best interior cotton Markets of the South. This is due chiifly to her situation ; being on the direct route from the producing districts to the large seaport marts, end having the advantage of three routes to New Yoik, via Savannah, Charleston and Norfolk, all of which are freely and satisfactorily used. The importance of Atlanta as a cotton ma-ket was, during the last season, acknowledged by the New York buyers, many of whom made extensive purchases, which with the local compe tition enabled us to realize the most satisfactory prices; relatively higher in most instances than could have been obtained by our consignors, by shipments to more distant points. The members of our firm are all men of large expe rience in cotton, and well known in the community. Our Warehouse cannot be surpassed, being of large di mensions, completely sheltered, and fire proof. Every money facility usual in such cases, we are prepared to furnish. We are Agents for the “ STAR COTTON GINS and CONDENSERS,” manufactured at Albany, N. I ~ and upon application will send circulars of prices, Ac., to any one wishing to purchase. We consider them the very best Gins now in use. We are also in the market for the purchase of Dried Fruit at the highest rates. * 2405— 2416— i2t.

For the Theological Department there are no scholas tic terras of admission. Any man, young or old, pre senting satisfactory evidences of piety and of a call ts the ministry, is received upon equal terms with any other without respect to literary acquiremeuts, and is entitled to the opportunities afforded for a preparation for the work of the ministry. A NEW FEATURE. With a view to increase the attractiveness of learning and the facilities of acquiring knowledge, and to elevate the general character of the Institution, a system of Lectures on literary and scientific subjects has been in troduced. It is believed that the Lectures which a student will hear during his whole College course will be equivalent in value to six months of instruction: and thus the term of four years is virtually prolonged to four years and a half, while yet there is no increase of labor or of expense on the part of the student.

The Session opens the first day of September, and continues eight m tilths. It is particularly desirabls that Students should be present ut the very beginning of the Session. The Introductory Lecture will be de livered by Rev. W. Williams, on Tuesday, September Ist, 1868, at 10 o’clock. The plan of the Seminary is peculiar. Instruction la provided adapted to the various classes of the Baptist Ministry. While those who huve enjoyed superior ad vantages of literary culture need a complete curriculum of Theological Study, it is important to afford facilities to those of our brethren whose circumstances have not permitted, and will not now allow, tbeir entrance on a full Literary Course. Accordingly, those who wish to pursue a full Theological Course, (including the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, and the best Latin writers ob Theology,) have the opportunity of doing so, the rang* of study being as extensive as any other institution ia the country. Those, on the other band, who desire the most thorough preparation they are able to gain with out a knowledge of the Learned Languages, cau study the Scriptures in the English version, (as the other Stu dents do also,) and pursue a complete Theological Course in all the topics which do not require Greek, .Hebrew nr Latin. Each Student selects such subjects as he prefers; and each subject, except the Greek and Hebrew, is completed in one Sessiou. The whole range of Theological Study is divided into eight distinct schools, as follows: I. Biblical Introduction. 11. Old Testament Interpretation, < Knglisk meed He brew.) ; * 111. New Testament Interpretation, (English end Greet.) IV. Systematic Theology, (English and Latin.) V. Polemic Theology and Apologetics. VI. Homiletics. VII. Ecclesiastical History. VIII. Churchy Government 1 and Pastoral Duties. The Student is graduated in each of these schools separately, the graduation depending on strict examin ations, held mainly in writing. Thus s Student, if successful, may complete in one year, the studies of the schools which he has selected, according to bis prepara tion oi preference, and can afterwards decide whethtr he will continue another year, and whHt other subjects be will study. The complete Course of the Institution will ordinarily require three or four years, according to the student’s ability, thoroughness of preparation aud dili gence. There are no charges for tuition, nor fees of any kind. Text -Books are loaned to Students who cannot supply themselves, though it is much better to own them, if practicable. A building has been secured, in which the Students reside and board in common, paying the actual cost of their supplies. Last year this was about nine do lars a month, besides fuel, lights and washing. It is thought that for the ensuing Session SIOO will cover the entire expense, exclusive of clothing and travelling expenses. If brethren desirous of atteuding are unable to pro vide the whole of the necessary amount, they are invi ted to communicate with any member of the Faculty, informing him how much they can provide themselves, or secure Irom their imrrediate friends, and how mum assistance they will need. Some brethren have kindly offered to assist in this matter, and further contribu tions for the purpose are invited. B. MANIAS’. J*.» jy2B-8t Secretary of the Enmity. 151
