Jjtlisqilaiuous jj*sartm*nt. BY THE PROPRIETOR. 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 published promptly. of any character, to insure anin sertion in the issue of the current week, must reach us by Monday. Let all of our friends bear this in mind. Read the article in “ The Home,” by J. T. M., which originally appeared in the Mobile Register. See the call of brother Awtrey, for a meeting of the Executive Commute of the Western Association. Important business requires attention, full attendance desired. Rev. M. B. Hardin has resigned the pastorate of the Waco Baptist church, Texas. Would like to in vite him back to Alabama or Georgia. Will not some of our churches extend the invitation ? Few better preachers, or more excellent men. Dr. Samuel Bard has retired from the editorial and proprietory management of the Daily New Era of this city, and is now off on a 30 day pleasure tour. The new proprietors and editors are not announced, but the Era is materially enlarged in the quantity of reading matter. Dealers in Fertilizers who consult the interest of their business will surely seek these columns to let their trade be known. Sewing machine men and other business characters find that advertisements pay, and largely when they are seen in these pages. Try it. Salem Church, (Newton) wish to build anew house of worship, and desire to contract with one re sponsible man for the entire structure. The size of the house to be 40 xOO feet, IS feet pitch, etc. Con tractors would do well to address J. A. Kennedy, Oxford, Ga. Fertilizers. —Enriching material, with the inteli gent Southern planter, is as essential to the growing of a good crop, as the mule, the negro, or the im proved plow. Indeed few think of attempting a crop without commercial manures. In this paper will be seen the advertisement of Mr. Mark Johnson, Guano Merchant of Atlanta, wh# will gladly inform all who apply to him what kind of fertilizers to use. • \ Transfers. —We must request and urge upon sub scribers who wish their names transferred, to give us the name of both offices, —thus from ( Bartow ) to (Newnah) —and the exact name of the person to whom the paper is addressed—not “ Mrs. John Jones,” when the address is “Mrs. Susan Jones,” or Mrs. Lucy Brown, when it is Mrs. (Dr.) Abram Brown. Dr. J. A. Long has resumed the practice of medi cine at LaGrange. Whole number 2465, was issued more than eight weeks ago.—E. E. White, has re moved to Tunnell Hill. Hope the leather business will not overlook the paper business. Both interests are important. The Plantation, anew and splendid weekly journ al, devoted to the interests of agriculture, rural econ omy, and the benefits of life assurance, has just been issued from the Franklin Printing House. Its typo graphical appearance will compare favorably with that of any similar publication in the country. Edi torialy it is as able as any. It commences its career of usefulness with a circulation of five thousand— among the substantial and intelligent classes of the South. It has ample capital and the brains to give an immediate and brilliant success. Cols. T. C. Howard and R. A. Alston, are its editors, aided by a corps of contributors, composed of our best talent. Rain! Rain!! Rain!!! —Paper-mill deluged— Index delayed for the want of paper. Form3 ready to the minute; but no paper to be had Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday; but on Thurs day the mill men rallied, and sent in the quantum and we print extra number and extra nice. Our disappointment greater than anybody else. Hope our subscribers and readers will not add to our disappointment by failing to write us news, and paying up old scores, and renewing for 1870. They can place the Index beyond all such break downs by prompt renewals, and a few hundred new subscribers. Money is a very necessary sort of material in making newspapers. Help Now 1 “ Leisure Moments with the. Poets," No. I, by Adrienne, appears in “ TnE Home” this week. For want of space we were compelled to divide the article rather abruptly, but enough is given to excite a lively interest in its merrits and an earn est desire for future numbers. The first number of “The Home,” which is a modification of “The Happy Home'' is richly worth the full cost of the Index and Baptist for a whole year. Those who appreciate the good work, and desire the success of the enterprise will, we presume, let the fact be known, whilst thousands of others connected with our churches, will never know that such enter prises exist. How can they be reached ? To clubs of Ten, (one address) ten numbers of The Home will be sent at 50 cents each. Will not every reader under 15 years of age raise a club of ten and send us five dollars ? Let it be shown that Southern youths are not behind those of any other in the world. E. A. F. College — Tuskegee. —The sub scriptions made towards the repurchase of the buildings of this Institution, if paid in now, secure to its friends in Tuskegee, six months more time. W ill not each subscriber remit to brother Brooks the amount pledged, without delay. He is laboring, with earnest activity, to secure the house, —devoting his whole time to the work. He is powerless without aid. Address Rev. H. E. Brooks, Tuskegee, Ala. Blue Back, Local Bills. —Please don’t send the Index any of these bills, unless you send a hundred dollars. We cant afford the discount on sundry small ones, and \re can’t use them in the payment of hands, or the purchase of anything in thfs city. It must be a much more easy matter to exchange them where they are current, than for us to run round town with a few of them to find somebody who will take them. As to riding them out on the railroad, as they are good for the “ fare of one passenger between M. & 1T.,” we can’t afford that either. Have no time to ride, and no money to invest in amusements of any sort. Ours ie work, work, work. No Joke. —As an indication not the least among the hopeful signs of the future pros perity of our city, and country, quite a num ber of neatly dressed, modest, intelligent, sprightly, and amiable looking young ladies may be seen tripping along our business streets every morning about 7 o’clock, except Sun day*, evidently making their way to their places of praiseworthy engagements. They have wisely come to the conclusion that the question of “ bread and butter” is no joke, farce, fantom, or fiction, and are now ener getically adjusting themselves to the situation. They are rendering themselves useful and happy in their spheres, and making liberal contributions, weekly, towards the support of aged parents perhaps, or dependent brothers and sisters. In some instances these young ladies are aiding in the education of the younger members of the family,—paying tu ition, buying books, dzc. Who can observe such energy and activity on the part of the young, without emotions of gratification and pride. Another point may be made in this connection. It is this—the charming grace, and easy dignity with w hich thousands of our matrons and maidens, who were once in af fluence, and abounding in luxury, have be comingly adjusted themselves to the results of the past. Many of this class do not now THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SODTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 20,1870. regard the cook-room nor pantry with disgust, horror or beneath their dignity. A spirit of emulation is widely diffusing itself, to see who can provide the nicest light-loaf, the best buck wheat cakes, the most elegantly broiled beef steak, etc. “In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread," is not ignored, but honored by such persons, and the earnest hope is that the number of vigilant, active and skilled pro ducers—workers,—may be increased as rapid ly, at least, as the consumers. At present, however, the ratio of the latter class greatly preponderates over that of the former, at this point our troubles begin. A change is needed. The time allowed for securing Webster’s Dictionary is extended to the Ist of February. See proposition. ts. Georgia Legislature. Since our last issue nothing of importance has transpired in this body. On Thursday, last, the Senate adjourned until Monday, 12 m, and on the same day, the Clerk, pro lem., in accordance with the proclamation of the Gov ernor, approved by Gen. Terry, Command ant of the District, adjourned the House to same dale and hour. The object of the ad journment was to give time for investigation of charges of ineligibility preferred against certain Senators and Representatives. On Monday the two - houses met pursuant to adjournment, and after calling the roll, &c., the Senate adjourned until Wednesday, and the House again ordered to adjourn by the Governor, approved by the Commandant of the District, and it was accordingly so ad journed. The House is still without organization, and will probably remain so until the ineligi bility investigations are concluded. Both Houses of the Legislature were again adjourned on Wednesday, to next Monday, by order of the Governor, and the approval of Gen. Terry. NEWS ITEMS GENERAL.

Can the Government erect a building on the public square? is now the question in Nashville, for it is a custom house that Nash ville is suffering for. Dr. W. T. Brown, of Chambers county, Ala., has been reelected to the Legislature by a very large majority. The Doctor was de nied a seat in that body in December last. Montgonery, Ala., wants anew hotel. The Advertiser says, during the whole winter the hotels and boarding houses of that city, have been jammed with visitors, and many have been compelled to leave the city for want of hotel accommodations. Dr. L. A. McClesky, an eminent physician of Mobile, died at Blandon Springs on Satur day. Dr. Me., for many years, was Alderman of the Second ward, and, at the time of his death, was a member of the School Board. The Cuban steamer Annie is still Retained at Charleston.

Yerger, who died on the Bth inst., at Vicksburg, was a daughter of the late Hon. Edward Scott, of Tennessee, and the widow of Geo. S. Yerger, formerly of Nash ville. She was a lady without ostentation, but of unexampled liberality. The negro exodus from Virginia continues unabated. Three hundred and fifty negroes left Lynchburg on the oth inst., for Alabama and Georgia. They are hired as railroad hands —one hundred and fifty being for the Air-Line Railroad from Atlanta.

Daniel D. Wyatt, of Mobile, a printer, the Father of the Craft, of that city, died on the 13th inst. The Register concludes its notice of the sad event thus: Such is the honora ble testimony his surviving cotemporaries can most conscientiously bear to the worth of Daniel D. Wyatt, “ An honest man—the noblest work of God.” ** ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. RECEIPTS FOR THE INDEX.

Gunn, wife of Rev. Guun, of Tuskegee. She was the daughter of Geo. A. and Ann M. Moore, and was born in Ku.-sell couniv, Ala., in the month cf January, 1839. In March, 1856, she became the wife of James F. Brown, and was left widow with three children, by his death in 1863, la. December, 1864, she was married to Geo. W. The fruit of this last marriage was one little c girl, about four years old, which survives Guun united with the Methodists, in 1857, and an exemplary and consistent member so long preserved her connection with that body of believers. During the last four years of her life, she was a very great sufferer, and by her afflictions prevented from en joying church privileges— being con lined to her bed for mouths at a time. Under these afflictions she was pa tient, and the thought of death was frequently upon her mind. She often spoke to her husband of her de parture, and said that she was ready to depart and be at peace with Jesus. During the last few weeks of her life, she spoke more frequently and freely of the future than ever before, and affirmed that she was not afraid to die, as are some. Her little children, by her first husbaud, Mr. Brown, were the subjects of auxious care and thought, and among her last requests was that her husbaud should take care of these now doubly or phaned children. Even to the last moment she was perfectly clear in mind. A few hours previous to her death she said she thought it was best she should die; that she was wearing out her husband by continued watching and care. And thus, oil the 20th of Novem ber, 1869, a devoted wife, a tond mother, a good neigh bor, and an eminent Christian woman, fell asleep in Jesus, and is now with Him in glory. Thus, “ let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his.” B. SHROPSHIRE.—OIivia Rhymes Shropshire, eldest child of Dr. James W. and C. J. Shropshire, was born October 27th, 1860, and died at the residence of her grand-father, Henry Davenport, on Thursday, the 23rd of December, 1869, aged 9 years and 2 months, less 4 days. “ Jbbie,” for that was the name by which she was best known, was a most remarkable child. Remarkable for the love she had for her parents, her constant, cheerful obedience to their requirements, and jealousy for their character. Kindness and affection for her little brother and sisters, were beautiful traits in her uniform charac ter. lam sure I have never known one of her age more ardent in her friendships, and scrupulous in re gard to the rights of others. She was like a guardian angel around the sick bed of my dear little Hattie, when death seemed inevitable; but now she is gone, and Hat tie still lingers on the shores of time. She was taken sick on Tuesday, and on Thursday night, being too pure, too angelic for this world, God touk her to the world of light and glory, above. About one o’clock on the day she died, she addressed herself to her uncle, and said, “I am dying.” He said, ‘‘You must not think of dying, but believe you will soon get well.” Her reply was, “ I know I will never get well. lam ready to die. I want to die. There is nothing in this world for me to want to live for, and for nobody else either, if they would only but believe it. I wish all the little girls; like me, would be good, and die before they get too bad. The higher I get, the better I feel. Higher I Higherl” Thus passed away this angel child. May God help and sustain her bereaved parents J. M. Marshall. “ When musing on companions gone, We doubly feel ourselves alone.” CLEGG.—Mrs. Rachel Susan Clegg died in Dooly county, Ga., Jan. 3rd, 1870, aged 20 years and 8 months, lacking three days. She was the only daughter of John (deceased) and E. J. Whitsitt, was baptized in August, 1864, by Elder Wm. N. Chaudoin, into the fellowship of Antioch church, in Lee, her native county, was mar ried happily to Yirgil A. Clegg, in 1865', and was the mother of two sweet little girls. Death is never other wise than sad, but it does seem especially so in bereave ment The young devoted wife, — “ Tenderest friend, The balm of comfort and the source of joy,”— suddenly cut down, is surely a peculiarly trying, pain ful Providence. Then when we remember that wife was a mother, how melancholy I A mother I Children with no mother! . Little children with no Female children, with no mother! Are the Pollock too strong? “Maternal love I thou word that jd^^^^kliss, Gives and receives all bliss, —most Thou givestl spring-head of all Deepest when most is drawn: iflpSm of God!” How often, when he returns from the business of the day, will the lonely husband miss the familiar voice and welcome smile of his wife, and feel that “ the sweetest thing in welcome of a wife?” Dear gone before, —gone from the to gemSSnHHHttuy&o&g grace to comfort you, thejttpgg His care, aud plant upon the monffiTOqpH9Qpymir ever-*" green, the emblem of the seul’s immortality, and re member, she shall be “raised.” Wm.
