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.

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.

Georgia Railroad. —This great thorough

S. Iv. Johnson, its former Assistant Superin
tendent, who is a railroad man of large expe
rience and ability, and is a worthy successor

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

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

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.

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 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.

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. Pastor.

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. *

For the Theological Department there are no scholas

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.
