Jftisqltaiuous Jgepartnunt.
BY THE PBOPBIETOB.
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
punlished promptly.
of any character, to insure an in
sertion in the issue of the current week, must reach us
by Mondat. Let all of our friends bear this in mind.

“Adrienk” will attract the eye and affect
the heart of those who follow her thought
fully this week.
“The Farmer’s Bank—Monet Free to
All !” is the caption of an article from our
Virginia correspondent, which, assuredly, will
receive the attention of our friends of toil.
It will be found on page 132, volume 48.
One Hundred well-selected Strawberry
plants, of the best variety, can be made to
yield, with but little labor or expense, one
hundred and twenty-jive, or more, quarts of
delicious berries, in one season. Those who
are disposed to question this statement, had
better test the matter. Try it.
The ever-thoughtful and obliging Superin
tendent of the Georgia Railroad, S. K. John
son, Esq., responds to brother T. A. Gibbs,
in the following style:

“ We wirL pa.-s those desiring to visit the
Stone Mountain Association, on the second
Monday in September, at one fare; parties
to pay full fare going.’’
Wanted. —The Index will report itself
weekly for one year to the address of any
one who will, by way of exchange, send us a
copy (by mail or otherwise) of “ Porcher’s
Resources of the Fields and Forests of
the South.” It was published in 1862 or
1863. Address Index, Atlanta, Ga.

“ Free-will Offering.” —This is a pet
expression of many persons, when the “mat
ter O' mooney ” is urged by some zealous
agent or friend "f benevolence. The trouble
is, however, that the will often retains its
freedom with such tenacity that the offering is
not made at all, or if made, not with that
liberality that one would be led to suppose.
Opposition to plans or systems of benevo
lence induce the expression, and often defeat
schemes which, otherwise, might lead to no.
ble results.
Fashion Plates. —Those who undertake
to keep the monthly appearance of fashion
plates from the inspection of ladies, or to dis
courage the circulation of Magazines designed
for them, especially, spend their time and la
bor for naught. To accomplish this is be
yond the skill and power of man. With
every succeeding month the demand for
Godey's Lady's Book increases. The ladies
regard it as one of the best, hence they al
ways consult its pages with interest, and,
perhaps, with delight. The third number of
the 79th volume will command attention.
The Child’s Delight. —We invite special
attention to brother Boykin’s advertisement
in this number. The Delight is a capital
Sunday school paper, and should be found in
all our Baptist Sunday schools. Its effects
will be always good. Let brother B. then
hear from you at once, by an order for 50 or
100 copies. See his advertisement and no
tice the terms. Now is the time to order
the paper, so as to keep the children in school
during the winter.
Dealers in millinery, straw goods, etc.,
will please refer to the notice of that old and
reliable Baltimore house of Armstrong, Cn
tor & Cos., to be found elsewhere in this pa
per.
Albemarle (Bap.) Female Institute.—
This school, located at Charlottesville, Va.,
opens its next session September 15, and it
gives us pleasure to say that it is one of the
best in the Old Dominion. See advertise
ment in another column for particulars.
The Hollins Institute, at Botetourt
Springs, Va., is another institute of learn
ing in the same State, to which we desire to
draw public attention. We have ample as
surance that it offers educational advantages
of a high order, and we are therefore happy
to give it cordial commendation. See notice
in another column.
From Aug. 10th to Aug. 17th, remittances were
received from the following brethren and friends-
The figures after the names indicate the number
to which each has paid:
L «J Smith, 2500; \Y Edwards, 2470; Blind
Academy, 2501 ; S 0 Walton, 2489; J A T Jen
kins, 2501; Jll Jones, 2490; JL S Foster, 2488;
W W Jackson, 2501; W C Howard, 2501; J S
Hunter, 2501 ; Mrs M Medium, 2480 ; E Farmer,
2476 ; B Mallon, 2476 ; A M Hanks, 2480 ; W O
Lovin, 2464; Mrs M E Howes, 2498; C B Ellis,
2468; Mrs M Beasley, 2467.
We take from the last number of the Lon
don Christian Times, the following interest
ing statistics:
The ecclesiastical authorities of Rome have just
published a census for the present year. These sta
tistics show that the regular clergy is composed of
2,265 persons, thus divided; Cardinals, 32; bish
ops, 26; priests and clerks, 1,366 ; and students
at the ecclesiastical colleges, 841; the religious
communities count 5,215 souls, 2,959 men and
2,256 women; the lay population amounts to
197,198; soldiers in garrison, 10,207; prisoners
under sentence, 328 ; Protestants, 637: and Jews,
2,682; making a total of 220,532, or an incresse
of 3,154 over the year 1868. The number of
cardinals residing in the Eternal City has re
mained nearly the same during ten years, never
having been below 29, nor above 34; at present
it is 32. The same remark does not apply to the
bishops, who have never been so few. In 1864
they counted 40, at this moment there are no
more than 26. Priests and regular clerks have
also diminished during the last decennial period,
the number never being so low. In 1864 it was
1,504, at present it is 1,366. On the other hand,
the members of religious communities have aug
mented; in 1860 the males were 2,390, and the
females 2,031 ; the progression has been constant,
and the figures now are 2,959 and 2,256. This
increase is explained by the confiscation of the
Church property in Italy, and the expulsion of
the monks and nuns from their monasteries and
convents, many of them bavin gsought an asylum
in Rome.
Opelika, Ala.— The recently taken census
of this town shows a population of 1,389 —
there being 63 more blacks than whites.—
Mr. Padget, lately wounded in a fight with
Capy Tucker, is improving.—The cotton rust
has made its appearance there.—John W. C.
Denson, an old citizen, is dead.—Rev. J. B.
Glenn is also dead. He was in his 84th
) ear.
The Georgia Teachers’ Association.
In response to the call of the President,
Rev. H. H. Tucker, this body assembled in
Atlanta on the 11th inst., when a permanent
organization, to be known as the “Educa
tional Association,” was effected, with the
following officers:
" President—H. H. Tucker, D.D.
Vice Presidents—J. M. Bonnell, J. Leßoy
Broun, Alex. Means, D.D., and Prof. G. J.
Orr.
Secretary.—B Mallon.
Treasurer.—W. D. Williams.
The Constitution of the Teachers’ Assoeia
tion was readopted, with a few changes.
There was an absence of reports, though
we may mention the interesting essay of
Martin V. Calvin, Esq., read to the Associa
tion ; and the adoption of several resolutions
looking to its future interests. Os the latter,
we give place to the following:
Resolved, That a committee of five be ap
pointed by the President to take into consid
eration the expediency and practicability of
combining the colleges and high schools of
the leading religious denominations in the
State into a harmonious system with the State
University, so as to secure permanence, effi
ciency, and the highest- usefulness for each
and all; and that this committee make % re
port at the next meeting of the Association.
The President appointed as that Committee
Messrs. Bonnell, Stout, Haygood, Lumpkin
and Johnson.
Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed to report upon the best system of
educating the masses, white and black; the
report to be submitted first to the Executive
Committee for its approval, and then be laid
before the General Assembly of the State.
This resolution was afterwards amended
so as to require said committee to report at
the next meeting of the Association, to take
place at Macon, 17th November .next, at
which time the State Fair will be in pro
gress.
The following subjects were recommended
to the attention of the several committees,
with instructions to report upon them at the
next annual meeting:
The comparative merits of the two systems
of teaching Orthography, by oral and by
written recitations.
Is uniformity of text books throughout the
State desirable and practicable?
The best system of school discipline.
The best system of college discipline.
Success in teaching the mathematics.
The modern method of teaching the ancient
languages, by applying the principles of
Grammar as soon as learned, in progressive
lessons.
How many hours per diem should children
be confined to study in school, and how should
these hours be distributed?
• Should the sexes be separated, or taught
together during the course of their education ?
School architecture and school furniture.
The system of graded schools.
Should the pupils of common schools be
required to prepare their lessons at home or
in school?
Should the infliction of corporeal punish
ment in the schools be in public or in pri
vate?
The best method ol enforcing neatness.
The subject of popular education, or a
thorough system of Free Schools throughout
the State, engrossed the earnest attention of
the Association, and we confidently believe
and hope that great good will result from its
deliberations. It was unanimously agreed
that only local organizations, as fostered by
the State, have the ability to successfully
grasp a practical system of popular educa
tion, and we cordially endorse the opinions
expressed in that relation.
The Association was harmonious, and ad
journed to meet in Macon on the 17th No
vember next, while the next Annual meeting
will take place in Savannah, on the first
Tuesday in May, 1870.
NEWS ITEMS GENERAL.
Capt. Thos. A. Bones, an old merchant of
Augusta, is dead.
Capt. Barnet expects to finish the Selma,
Rome and Dalton Railroad by the Ist of
December.
We are pleased to learn of an interesting
revival now in progress at the Stone Moun
tain Baptist church; also, at the Second
Baptist church at Augusta.
Four hundred and fifty Morman emigrants
passed through Ohama on Tuesday, for Salt
Lake. They are principally Danes.
The death of J. W. Mappin, a prominent
citizen of Putnam county, is announced in
the Eatonton Press.
John Darnell, of Pickens county, has been
appointed Principal Keeper of the Georgia
Penitentiary.
Covington is largely engaged in the can
ning of fruit. The Examiner says that Di mes
& Tucker are now putting up 100,000 cans
per day.
Anew cotton factory and merchant mill
are to be erected on Yellow River at the Ga.
R. R. bridge, only three miles from Coving
ton.
Nearly JiTS,OOO worth of smuggled opium
was found by the Custom House officials, on
the persons of 1,200 Chinamen, recently
arrived.
It appears that Turner, negro, appointed
P. M. at Macon, has been removed, and the
former incumbent, Mr. Washington, rein
stated.
The Irish church question, a matter upon
which the British Parliament was for so long
a time divided, has at length been disposed
of. The basis of settlement, as we find it in
the London Christian Times , not being en
tirely clear to us, we barely announce that a
settlement has been reached.
First Bale of New Cotton.— The Macon
Journal <Sc Messenger says : “The first bale
of the present crop was received in this place
by Messrs. J. Collins & Son, on the 12th, by
passenger train on the Southwestern Rail
road. It was from the plantation of P. W.
Jones, of Dougherty county —quality, low
middling in color; staple short. We learn
that forty cents was refused for it, and it was
shipped to Boston. It weighed 491 pounds.
This is the third bale of cotton yet reported
this season—the first from Houston county,
Texas, sold in New Orleans for fifty cents a
pound, and the second received on the 10th
instant in Bainbridge, and sold at 40 cents.
The latter was raised in Mitchel county on
the plantation of W. B. Brown, Esq., of
Fort Valley. When the difference in latitude
between the other places and Macon is taken
into account, we think we have a right to
brag on having received anew bale of cot
ton at so early a date.
The first bale of new cotton received in
Macon last year was on the 18th of August.
It was raised on the plantation of Mr. J.
Dickson Smith and Maj. Wm. H. Ross, in
Houston county, and was sold for thirty
cents. The first bale received in the South
was at Mobile, on the 10th of August, which
was sold at forty-five cents.”

Cithers will go up to day and to-morrow.
It is stated that our fellow-citizen, W. W.

A. R. R., contemplates opening a banking
business in Rome on Ist September. Suc
cess attend him.
We are happy in chrouicling the fact that
the Third Baptist church of Atlanta is expe
riencing a protracted meeting of much in
terest.
The proposed excursion of Col. Hulbert,
given to the Press of Georgia, receives favor
able mention in all parts of the State, and it
is expected that there will be a large turn
out of the editorial fraternity. The special
train is announced to leave this city on the
25th inst, and we are at liberty to say that
the expenses of the excursionists will be light.
We wish the party bon voyage, and it is our
design to have the Index represented, in or
der that its readers may have a faithful reci
tal of the vast'mineral resources of our loved
old commonwealth, as well as those of our
sister States of Alabama and Tennessee. •
The Press Convention. —As already an
nounced, a Convention of the newspaper fra
ternity of Georgia will assemble in this city
on the 24th inst., and from present indica
tions, the attendance will be large. The Sa
vannah Republican, speaking, no doubt from
painful experience, alludes as follows to the
Convention :
Georgia Press Convention. —This body
is announced to meet in Atlanta on the 24th
inst. We may not have it in our power to
be present, but we send them at least the
benefit of our example, which is, never to
send a newspaper to a subscriber who has
not paid for it, or do work of any sort on
such terms as will not afford a reasonable
profit. Better than do either, shut up shop
and go at something that will yield you a
living—keep store, dig the ground, hire out
yourself for a dry nurse, do just anything
rather than work for other people gratis and
pay your own expenses, as three-fourths of
the newspaper men of this and other States
are doing. What can you buy at old prices
now except newspapers and newspaper ad
vertising ? k
A. & W. P. R. R.—The reports of the
President and Superintendent of this line of
railway have been placed upon our table,and
after an examination of them, we should
judge that its affairs were never in a more
satisfactory condition than now. The reports
before us exhibit an increased business, and a
consequent increase of dividends, which, of
course, speaks well for the officers, and is
especially pleasing to the stockholders. One
fact is worthy of particular mention : there
has not been a single mail failure over this
road in three years ! Its motive power and
road-bed need no better comment than this.

REYNOLDS.—Died, 7th Aug. 1869, of yellow fever,
(so pronounced by his physician,) at the residence of
James Billingslea, in Dougherty county, Ga., Mr. Jesse
L. Reynolds, in the 24th year of his age. Asa son, a
citizen, a neighbor and husband, he was never excelled
according to ability. He was at work Friday morning
and died Saturday night. Snatched away 'suddenly,
leaving a wife, to whom he had been married but a few
months, parents, brothers, and a large circle of rela
tives to mourn his decease. Wm. N. Chaddoin.
Cottage Home, near Albany, Ga.
MOORE.—Dr. James Seaborn Moore was born at
Millhaven, Scriven co., Ga., on the 13th of February,
1807, and died at Warrior Stand, Ala., July 23d, 1869.
He enjoyed the advantages of a liberal education,
and at an early age was admitted a cadet at the Milita
ry Academy, at West Point, N. Y. Here he had for
his compeers and associates, Robert E. Lee, Jos. E.
Johnston aud Jefferson Davis. With such advantages
and associations, it is no wonder that his manners were
cultivated and refined, and his mind well stored with
the riches of varied learning. Returning home, he
studied medicine, preferring the quiet walks of this
profession to the stir and excitement of military life-
About 30 years ago he came to Macon co., Ala., and
pursued his vocation as a physician and planter. Here
he lived in the bosom of his family, respected and be
loved by all who knew him, until he was called hence.
His family government was kind, affectionate and suc
cessful. There was the most perfect confidence be
tween him and his children, and he lived to see all his
household members of the church of Christ and on their
way to heaven. Os late years he had passed through
much affliction, and this gradually drew him nearer
and nearer to God. Ris first wife died suddenly—then a
son who contracted sickness in the army, died at home
—then a lovely daughter, who left a precious testimo
ny —then a married daughter whose name is as oiut
meut poured forth. Dr. Moore, like many others, had
tried to seek Christ at home, for years be had been a
praying man, but never until a revival meeting at War
nor Stand two years ago, did he get his consent to con
fess Christ before men. Then he calmly and deliber
ately took his position, connected himself with the M.
E. Church, South, and from that day until his death
was one of the most decided and uniform Christians we
have ever known. He said he had no religious ecsta
cies like many others; often felt that his prayers at the
family altar were dull and dry, and the service without
comfort to his soul, but he persistentlv adhered to duty,
even when, on account of his growing infirmities, he
had to call on some one else to read the lesson, and af
ter the prayer had to be lifted from his knees. He was
always in his place in the house of God when strength
Eermitted. I had the mournful pleasure to be with
im when “the outward man was perishing and the in
ward man was being renewed dav by day. His mind
was clear and his submission complete. Said he, “In
all things, His will, not mine, be done.” He loved
singing to the last, and would join with us in his favor
ite “There’ll be no sorrow there,” singing and rejoicing
as long as his strength would permit.
His last days were days of triumph, and his end was
peace. He had been twice married, and leaves a widow
and a large circle of friends to mourn his loss.
“May our last end be like his.” Amen.

Ith, 1869. *
Whereas, God has been pleased, by the hand of
death, to remove from among us our much beloved and
highly respected brother, John West; therefore,
Resolved, That we would pray earnestly for the grace
of resignation to the dealings of our Hea'venly Father,
though to us so mysterious.
Resolved, That in the death of brother John West
this church has lost one of her most exemplary mem
bers —a consistent advocate of the cause, and the com
munity a worthy and valuable citizen.
Resolved, That we tender our Christian sympathies
to the wife and family of our departed brother, in this
their hour of great affliction, believing that their loss
is his eternal gain.
Resolved, That these resolutious be recorded in the
minutes of the church, also copies of the same be fur
nished the Index and Baptist for publication, and to
the wife of our departed brother. Done in conference

The Monument at Mercer University.
The Atuinui Association, at its last meeting, re
solved to co-operate with the Student’s Memorial
Association of Mercer, in building the proposed
Monument. Every Alumnus was created an agent
for soliciting funds for the purpose.
Can we not raise the amount necessary? Will
you not, when you read this notice, feel yourself
especially called upon to contribute something ? Will
you not send to Prof. S.'P. Sanford, of Penfield, your
contribution or that will serve
to add one leaf to the wreath with which we would
encircle the names of “Mercer’s Heroes?”
Every Alumnus is earnestly requested to work with
us for this end. Every old student, every one who
had a brother, son, or friehd, whose name is now
upon Mercer’s record of fame, is requested to help
us. Give at least enougif'to pay for inscribing the
name of that loved one on the tablets of the monu
ment. Let every one respond.
The question of “ removal*’ need cause uo embar
rassment in this matter, if the University should be
removed, the monument will be also, and wherever
it may be, it will still be a monument to the memory
of our noble foster brothers.

This Company issues all the various kinds ot poli
cies, and they are all Non-Forfeitable after two full
payments. They give a loan of 50 per cent, on all
premiums amounting to over Fitly Dollars. It is a
Southern Company and every Southern man is inter
terested in keeping the large accumulations ot Life
Companies at home. In Fire Insurance the premi
ums are mostly returned to meet losses ; but in Life
Insurance they are accumulated to meet the deaths
at old age, and only returned after many years.
The money retained here will bring better interest,
and thus swell the profits of a mutual company, and
benefit the insured in many other ways.
Every Southern man will bo sure to assent to this,
and favor a Southern Company if it is safe. We offer
him precisely the same securities as the Northern
Mutual Companii s. the accumulated premiums of the
insured, paid by the young, to meet the amounts in
sured when they grow old and die, and in addition
thereto, a capital commencing with
$500,000.
Surely this makes it safe, and if so, let every man
insure at home.
THEN PREFER THE COTTON STATES LIFE

1. Because It is a mutual company
2. Because it is a Southern company.
3. Because it has a large guaranteed capital.

LIVER fiEBVLATDB
OR MEDICINE, for Dyspepsia,
SIMMS'
Headache, Jaundice, Costiveness, Camp Dysentery,
Sick Headache, Chronic Diarrhoea, Affections of the
Bladder aud Kidneys, Fever, Nervousness, Chills,
Diseases of the skin, Impurity of the Blood, Melan
choly or depression of Spirits.
Most of the ailments here enumerated have their
origin in a diseased liver, which is the most prevalent
affection in this country, and as in many cases the
patient is not within the reach of a physician, it re
quires that some remedy should be provided that
would not in the least impair the constitution, and yet
be active and safe. That such ia the character of the
SIMMONS REGULATOR there can be no doubt,
which the testimony of hundreds will establish.
SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED
Pain in the side. Sometimes the
pain is felt under the shoulder blade;
is sometimes mistaken for rheuma
tism in the arm. The stomach is af
fected with loss of appetite and sick-
urn
ness, bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter
nating with lax ; the head is troubled with pain, ac
companied with a dull, heavy sensation. There is
generally a considerable loss of memory, accompa
nied with a painful sensation of having left undone
something which ougnt to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patten t
complains of weariness and debility ; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the skin ; his spirits
are low ; and although satisfied that exercise would
be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up
fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every
remedy. Several ol the above symptoms attend Ihe
disease, but cases have occurred when few ot them
existed, yet examination of the body after death has
shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged.
It should be used by all persons, old and young,
whenever any of the foregoing symptoms appear. It
is a purely vegetable compound, is not injurious to the
most deliqate constitutions, and will keep the liver in
healthy action if used properly.
Persons living in unhealthy localities may avoid all
billious attacks by taking a dose occasionally to keep
the liver in healthy action.
For children complaining of colic,
headache, or sick stomach, a tea
spoonful or more will give relief.
Children, as well as adults, eat some
times too much supper, or eat some-
Regulator
ling which does not digest well, producing sour
stomach, heart-burn, or restlessness; a good dose
will give relief. This applies to persons of all ages.
Many persons, from eating too much, are restless
hi night, or in day time are fidgety, wool-gathering,
can’t understand what they read, can’t keep their
thoughts on any one subject so as to reason well, or
become fretful. One or two tablespoonsful will give
relief.
Javndice. —Take enough Regulator after eating
each meal to produce one lull action from the bowels
every day.
Pregnant ladies will find sure relief from their head
ache, costiveness, swimming in the head, colic, sour
stomach, restlessness, etc,, etc.
