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 t'ie denomination. Such intelligence is always thankfully received and pnulished promptly. any character, to insure an in sertion iu the issue of the current week, must reach us by Monday. Let all of our friends bear this in mind. Good Order. —The Term just closed at Mercer University, is said to have been the most quiet and orderly ever known in Pen field. Our quondam editor is a good dis ciplinarian. Combinations. —The Club system is open to all of our subscribers. Let all who wish to avail themselves of the reduction in price, unite with others in forming Clubs. There is a power in numbers, and the larger the better. Prompt Respondents. —Under this head we propose to give, from week to week, a list of those who respond to the little moni tors sent out in our last issue. We humbly trust that the list will speedily reach very gratifying proportions. Response No. I.—Rev. N. A. B , Milledge ville; (2) Rev. J. M D., Talladega; (3) V. R., Augusta; (4) R. R. 8., Warrenton; (5) S. A. W., Eufaula; (6) C. A. W., Mari etta ; (7) Mrs. N. T. J., Cuthbert. E. Levering & Co.—This old, reliable Baltimore firm was represented in our city on Monday last by our excellent young broth er, Joshua Levering, son of the senior of the firm. He was in good health, and left on Monday evening for New Orleans. The Envelope System. —Churches that may adopt the envelope plan of weekly col lections for 1869, can be supplied by us, with envelopes ready printed for use, giving the date of each Sunday in the year, at five dol lars per thousand, or three dollars for five hundred. See explanation elsewhere in this paper. Rev. J. G. Rvals paid us a visit on Tues day last. His health has greatly improved since he resigned the labors of the school room. His attention in future will mainly be devoted to the duties of the pastorate. The Cartersville and Acworth churches have extended to him unanimous calls for the year 1869. He is eminently qualified to fill any position to which he may be called. The Bingham School. —ln our columns may be seen the card of this School, which has been in successful operation for more than sixty years. The boys are all members of the Superintendent’s family, and under his immediate care and supervision. Their health, morals, and manners are objects of constant attention. The School is located about three quarters of a mile from Mebaneville depot, on the North Carolina Railroad. “ Ten Minutes’ Effort.” —Our highly es teemed brother, Rev. J. G. Gibson, sends 11s | the names of five subscribers, and closes his j letter by saying: “The above is the fruit of j ten minutes’ effort. Strange that all Georgia ! Baptists don’t take the Index.” If every j reader of the Index will only make an effort I of ten minutes for the paper, with the same results, quite a large number will take it whom we now cannot reach. Our only reli ance is upon appreciative readers. Ample Accommodations. —As will be seen by reference to our advertising columns, two new boarding houses are about to be opened in Penfield. Mrs. Loftin and Mrs. Ware are both superior and excellent women, and will doubt less give entire satisfaction to their guests. The old and well known boarding houses of Pen field,are still open as heretofore,and what with I the old and the new, students wishing to avail themselves of the superior advantages of Mercer University need have no fears of being unable to provide themselves with com fortable homes. Eufaula. —Each of the following subscri bers at Eufaula have paid to the close of the present year—to whole number 2420. The amount paid by them in Dec. 1867, led our mailing clerk into a slight mistake. It is now corrected, and we trust that they will combine their strength and renew for 1869. It affords us pleasure to have every account exactly correct: W. IT. Lock, Mrs. E. J. Godwin, S. A. Wellborn, T. Cargile, Mrs. E. J. Bray, Mrs. L. J. Laird, A. A. Conric, N. H. Denyse, Mrs. M .E. Iveils, Mrs. L. E. McAl ister, N. F. Nance, I. Taylor, J. D. Billings, Hon. J. G. Shorter, Mrs. J. A. Walker. The Weather. —Friday and Saturday lasi, December 11th and 12th, were the coldest days which have been experienced in this lat itude for many years. At 6 o’clock, p.m., on . Friday, Mercury descended to 20; at 9 o’clock, p.m., to 16 J ; on Saturday morning, at 6 o’clock, to at 9 o’clock, a.m., Sunday and Monday were more moderate; but Tuesday gave us a storm of wind and rain, and the entire day was decidedly the most unpleasant of the season.

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA, THU RSDAY, DEC. 17, 1868. There are frequent references iu denomi national papers, to “ the Envelope System ”of contribution for Christian purposes. But many readers are probably unacquainted with its precise character : and for their informa tion, we make a brief statement of it here. Besides: the system is altogether feasible, and effective in securing liberality on the part of church members. We are not with out hope, therefore, that many will be induced to adopt it, when it is once understood by them. It is a system of weekly contribution, in accordance with the apostolic injunct,on; 1 Cor. xvi; 2. It is a church system, designed to secure contribu ions from “every” mem ber—as that apostolic injunction requires. It is a system of fairness and equity ; since, in pursuance of that injunction, there is no as sessment. by others, but each one gives, more or less, as dictated by his own sense of the ability which comes of God. To effect these ends, a number of envelopes are prepared for every Sabbath in the year and distributed among the members; with the understanding that, as often as the Sabbath returns, each one will enclose in the. envelope for that day, his offering to the cause of Christ, whether it be large or small, and place it, with his name written on it, in the box or basket of the col lector in the house of the Lord. If the con- tribution is intended for any special work, this may be indicated by writing, on a slip of paper put with the money in the envelope. If subscriptions are made, at the beginning of a year or a quarter, this system supplies the easiest method both of payment and collec tion. It affords opportunity, too, for increas ing the sum, if any special inflow of gain or outflow of gratitude occurs to warrant or to prompt it. The Treasurer may be instructed to keep a list of the members to whom en velopes have been distributed—to make per sonal inquiry into the cause of failure, when there are no returns from any member for two weeks or upwards—to enter a weekly credit to each member of the amounts re turned by him —and to present a monthly or quarterly report to the church. We give below, a far, simile of the envel ope its usually printed : The Church of Christ asks and expects you to I give something, however small the sum, every 1 Lord’s day. as God has prospered yon, as a Tree- ! will offering to sustain His cause. Enclose your gilt in this envelope, write your name on it, and drop it in the box or basket. When you can not j lie present, send your contribution. If you find j ibis in your possession after the date beiow. it j will remind you that you have neglected your 1 duty. WEEKLY CONTRIBUTION OF (tlil For Sunday, January 3, 1869. Prompt Action. —One brother has author ized us to procure for him the entire list of publications recommended in our last issue. They shall be forthcoming, he may be assured. The list might bo reduced in one or two par ticulars, and then be valuable. Let the brethren send in the money, and we will send out the literature. Now is the time to begin. Dear Brother Toon: An apology is due for my neglect in forwarding my subscription for this year and for 1869. I trust you will not entertain the idea that your excellent pa per is not appreciated, and accept the assu rance that, in future I shall be more punctual in making remittance due, for one of the best religious papers in the South.

Express charges on remittances must be pre-paid; ts The Union Theological Seminary of New York city has recently received a donation of great value to its library. The family of the late Rev. Dr. Field, of Stock bridge, have presented to that institution his entire collec tion of pamphlets, together with quite a num ber of other rare and valuable volumes. The volumes of pamphlets, which make more than half of the whole number, were gathered by Dr. Field through a long course of years, and by means of an extensive acquaintance both in Massachusetts and Connecticut. In the Baptist Training Seminary for young ministers, at Stockholm, Sweden, eleven young men received instruction last year, of whom two had already had some experience in the ministry. The new term for the pres ent year opened with nineteen, of whom eight are now pupils, and three of them experienced teachers. A Seminary for training native preachers among the Zulus, in South Africa, has been opened for three years. The last year has been most useful. The number of pupils is thirty. At the annual examination the at tainments of the young men called forth ex pressions of surprise and gratification from the English visitors present. A little girl, five years of age, on being asked what faith is, replied: “It is doing what God wants us to do, and asking no ques tions about it.” This covers the whole field ; perfect trust, combined with implicit obedi ence. Lord Bacon beautifully said : “If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows he is a citi zen of the world, and that his heart is no is land cut off from other lauds, but a continent that join3 them.” gTKAW BEKKY PLANTS.

Dear Bessie, little we can never forget the thousand charms which so en deared you to us, and time alone can soothe the pang of our parting. COOLEY. - Sister Elizabeth Cooley departed this life in Rome, on the 4th day of November last. She was a native Georgian ; born in Jackson county, in May, 1800. In the year 1824 she became a member of the Baptist church iu Ja.-per county, and was bao lized by Elder Edmund Shackleford. For thirty-six years the writer has known her as an humble and consistent follower of the Lamb. Os a modest and retiring disposition, the graces of the Christian shined with a mild hut not less beautiful radiance in all Iter walk and conversation. She was eminently charac terized by candor of spirit and tirmuess of purpose in all she did. Her last days were peculiarly marked by a simple, child-like faith in her Redeemer. Warn ed by keenest physical sufferings that her end was approaching, she proceeded with astonishing calmness and minuteness of detail to pul her “ house in order,” which, having finished, witli her, loins girt and her lamp trimmed and burning, she waited lor her Lord. And he came. When weeping children, calling her blessed ; when a stricken sister, now to be left wit ~ out sister or brother here ; when dear friends, with almost bursting hearts, were waiting around her, her Jesus, whom she loved so well, came, as we humbly trust, to receive her spirit into that “ rest that remaiti eth to the people of God.” “ Blessed are the dead that die iu tiie Lord.” Her Friend and Former Pastor.

Perkins: therefore, Resolved, That we would pray earnestly for the grace of resignation to the dealings of our Heavenly Father, though to us so mysterious. Resolved. That in the dentil of brother Andrew J. Perkins this church lias lost one of her exemplary members, a consistent advocate of the cause, and the country a useful citizen. Resolved, That we tender our Christian sympathies to tiie bereaved widow of ourdeparled brother in ibis her hour of atiliction, believing that her loss is his eternal gain. Resolved, That these resolutions be recorded in the minutes of this church, and also copies of the same he furnished tiie Index & Baptist for publication, and to the widow of our deceased brother.

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 itiths. It is particularly desirable that Students should be present at tbe very beginning ot the Session. Tiie Introductory Lecture will be de livered by Rev. W. Williams, on Tuesday, September Ist, 18(53, at 10 o’clock. The plan of tiie Seminary is peculiar. Instruction is provided adapted to the various classes of the Baptist Ministry. W hile those who have 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, their entrance on a lull Literary Course. Accordingly, those who wish to pursue a full Theological Course, (including tbe Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, and the best Latin writers on Theology,) have the opportunity of doing so, the range of study being as extensive as any oilier institution itt the country. Those, on the other h ind, who desire the most thorough preparation they are able to gain with out a knowledge of tiie Learned Languages, can study the Scriptures iu 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 or Latin. Each Student selects such subjects as he prefers; and each subject, except the Greek and Hebrew, is completed in one Session. The whole range of Theological Study is divided into eight distinct schools, as follows: I. Biblical Introduction. 11. Old Testament Interpretation, (English and He brew.) 111. New 'Testament Interpretation, (English and Greek.) IV. Systematic Theology, (English and Latin.) V. J'olemic Theology and Apologetics. VI. Homiletics. VII. Ecclesiastical History. VIII. Church Government 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 a Student, if successful, may complete in one year, the studies of the schools which he has selected, according to his prepara tion 01 preference, and can afterwards decide whether be will continue another year, and what other subjecls he will study. The complete Course of the Institution will ordinarily require three or four years, according to the student’s ability, thoroughness of preparation and 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 lias been secured, in which the Students reside and board in common, paying the actual cost of their supplies. Last year this was about nine dollars 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 detirous of attending are unable to pro vide the whole of the necessary amount, they are iuv\ ted to communicate with any member of the Faculty informing him how much they cm provide themselves, or secure from their immediate friends, and how mucu assistance they will need. Some brethren have kindly offered to assist in this matter, and further contribu tions for the purpose are invited. B. MANLY. Jr.. jv23-8t Secretary of the Faculty.

At the solicitation of friends, I have resolved to pub lish, in a handsome form, and accompanied by a fine steel engraving, as soon us possible, a biographical sketch ol ray lamented brother, Jno. E. Dawson. I know that his life was comparatively uneventful, in the or dinary acceptation of that term; but, nevertheless, I I hope it is not overweening affection on the part of a sister which makes her believe that there was much pertaining to the life and character of ray brother which the world will not willingly let die. Time passes away so rapidly that if mementoes of the dead are not speed ily gathered, they soon perish and are lost forever; and too long, already, I fear, hits this labor of love been de layed in the case of Dr. Dawson. Still, with the help of my friends aud of his many friends, l am willing to undertake the task of writing a memorial of my brother. Perhaps, of all persona now living, I know the most of his early days, of his early struggles, of his many tri als, and of his hopes, successes aud disappointments. The whole, blended in one work, I cannot but believe will be useful, instructive and encouraging. Believing that many will sympathize with me, and assist me in this undertaking, I thus publicly announce my determi nation, in order to secure the co-operation and assist ance of my and his brethren and friends. In truth, that co-operation and assistance will be needed iu order to attain success. What I desire, is the use of all private or friendly letters; or, indeed, letters of any kind, that any family or correspondent of his may have in possession. Os course a good judgment shall guide me in the publica tion of letters and memoranda. I promise to pi carefully and return all letters lent to me, if request ed, and if I am asked to supptess names, that shall be done also. 1 sincerely desire of all friends to my brother, a state ment ot whatever fads and incidents pertaining to the deceased, they may have, together with a sketch of him embracing their opinion of him as a man, a minister, an orator, a Christian, a scholar, a friend of education, and a servant ot God. I hope I will be pardoned for designating the friends to whom I make this appeal especially, and whose sympathy and aid I thus crave. My feeble health, and Ignorance of the uddress of most of these friends, and my confidence in their Christian charity and good will, are my excuses for thus publicly naming them : Dr. J. L. Dagg, Ur.

With the advent of another Cotton Season, we renew to our friends and patrons the otter 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 chitfly to her situation ; being on the direct route trom the producing districts to the large seaport marts, and having ihn advantage of three routes to New Y<WK, via Savannah, Charleston and Norfolk, all of which are freely and satisfactorily used. The importance of Atlanta ns a cottorf market 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.
