Fatal Error —To suppose that a newspaper

A committee of Italians have been some days in
Meridian, Miss., looking for lands for cultivating
silk worms and the production of wine. They are

A Sardis (Miss.) correspondent in the Memphis
Ledger regrets to state that the crop prospect is
quite gloomy throughout the country, except on
the highlands that escaped the recent overflow
and floods. Old farmers say that the late floods
exceed anything of the kind in their recollection.
Bear in Mind —One single line, or even a word*

uscript, written on the same paper, or on a slip and

corrected or not, come under the same clause of

Previous to the settlement of California, sing
ing birds, fragrant flowers and honey bees were
not to be found in the entire country. Now, how
ever, in all parts of the State, may be found manv
varieties of singing birds, like the mocking bird,
bobolink, larks, linnets, Baltimore oriole, and the
common robin, which always follows civilization.
The forests in all parts of the State are filled with
the honey bee, and honey from Los Angelos country
is an important article of commerce. And as for fra
grant flowers, California can no\y beat the world.
President Wadley, and staff, of the Central, and
W. L. Clark, of the Southwestern Railroad, left
this place last Friday, on a special train, for Vicks
burg, Miss. The party expected to be absent ten
days, and were well fixed up for business and
pleasure. The objects of the excursion, as we
learn, are: First, to inspect the lino from this
point to Vicksburg; and, second, to .purchase or
negotiate for the line from Selma to Meridian,
which has recently passed into the hands of its
bondholders. — Columbus Enquirer , Qth.
Increase of the Postal Services.— lt is in
teresting to observe the growth of this country.
In 1775, Benjamin Franklin, after removal from
his Deputy Postmaster Generalship by the British
Government for his rebellious spirit, was appoint
ed chief of the postal department by the Colonial
Congress, and had the supervision of about fifty
post offices in the whole country. There are now
20,000 post offices, 7,300 mail contractors, and 13,-
000 mail routes—truly something of a change.

Deeply do we sympathize with our brother and
sister Jarman in their very sudden and very sad
bereavement The Murfreesboro News of June

Mr. William Jarman, about twenty-one years of
age, son of Prof. George W. Jarman, was drowned
in the West fork of Stones river, near this city.
He was in bathing with three companions in what
is known as ‘ McCullough’s Hole,’ the water being
from ten to twelve feet deep, when it is supposed
that he became cramped, and sank before assis
tance could reach him.”
CAN IT BE POSSIBLE! that, out of a con
stituency of largely over 200,000, the thoughts and
actions of only the following have taken the right
direction ? The thought is too monstrous; but the
evidence leads that way. That the world may
know whose thoughts and actions are on the right
track, we give the names of a few of those whose
favors bear upon the case. First and best comes
the name of Mrs. Maiy L. W. Knott, Dawson.

Between eight and nine o’clock, on the night of
the 31st of May, writes a correspondent of the
Knoxville Chronicle, from Dandridge, Tenn., as J.
G Turnley, Steele Shaddenand three others, were
coming down the French Broad in ft boat, the
boat struck a rock, about two or three miles above
Dandridge, and was nearly filled with water.
Nevertheless, the men stayed aboard of tbe boat
until they had reached such deep water that they
could not wade, and were all compelled to get
planks and swim for their lives. John C. Turnley
swam safely out, although one of his ankles and
a portion of one foot had been mashed to pieces
when she boat firsf struck the rock The ofher
tliree lauded safely and uninjured, but Steele Shad
den is lost. The drowned man leaves a large
family tq mourn his untimely death.

Clubs of Four.— One dollar and sixty-eight(sl.Bß l
cents each, in clubs of four persons, wil
secure the Index & Baptist from the first

On our first page this week, the reader will find

The weather continues the .most remarkable
for storms and heavy falls of rain within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. We have no
recollection of any such season as this has been
and continues to be in this latitude. We have se
rious fears the wheat crop, now ready for harvest,
will be a total loss in consequence of the continued
heavy rains; and certain it is that otlfer crops
have been greatly damaged throughout this State
and Alabama.
The Corner Stone of anew house of worship for
the Friendship (colored) Baptist church, Atlanta,
Ga., was laid-Tuesday, May 31st. The Scriptures
were read by Rev. F. Quarles, pastor; prayer of
fered by Rev. E. B. Rucker, of Columbus; and an
able address delivered by Rev. H. 8. Simpson, of
Savannah. The articles of faith and constitution
of the church, with the constitution of the Mis
sionary Baptist Convention of the State, of the
Ebenezer and Middle Georgia Associations, etc.,
were placed in the Corner Stone. A collection
and subscription was taken up, amounting to some
$260; and the benediction pronounced by Rev. R.
R. Watson, of Albany. We hope that the white
citizens of Atlanta will contribute with generous
liberality toward the erection of this edifice.

NEWSPAPER OFFICES call
for lively times at all seasons and under all cir
cumstances, and those who fail to patronize and
to pay the printer and publisher, suffers to an al
nlost untold extent. Less than 100 letters per
week, with nothing more than merely kind wishes,
will not satisfy anybody connected with the Index
office. The sooner you make up your minds the
better, and then don’t be always acting in the
matter— act at once.
OLD AND BOLD.—The Index is old enough
and bold enough to say to everybody “ and his
wife,” that there are thousands of dollars now due
it, and that it needs and must have every cent of
it. What question too intricate for 200,000 Bap
tists ? This can and will be solved by thousands
of cheerful hearts and ready hands so soon as it
reaches their eyes and understanding. A feast in
store for all. Rally!
The Atlanta True Georgian appears as an eve
ning Daily now, and is one of the handsomest
papers in the South. It is full of life and interest,
and we wish it long life and much usefulness.
The Sun has been enlarged by the addition of a
column to each page—is set principally in solid
Nonpariel, and consequently, supplies its numer
ous readers with a great variety of interesting
matter.
The Constitution threatens an enlargement of
its proportions, because of increased demands of
advertisers. It is already the largest Daily in the
State.
We are proud of all our city papers, and most
gladly do we chronicle these substantial evidences
of their prosperity.
The Norfolk Journal relates an affecting inci
dent which took place on the streets of Norfolk
last Sunday. An intoxicated man was being led
home by his little daughter, a bright-eyed child of
six or seven years old. The man resisted the ef
forts of all persons to take him home, but was per
fectly passive in the hands of his child. After
getting her father to the steps, the little girl threw
her arms around his neck and kissed him. All
who witnessed the scene and the action were af
fected-some to team. There is power in that lit
tle child’s love to win her father back to sobriety
and virtue, if there be aught of manhood left him.
The Air-Line Railroad.— We are informed
that the Pennsylvania Central Railway Company
have bought out the interest of P. P. Dickson, un
der contract, for the construction of the line be
tween Charlotte, N. C., and Gainesville, Ga. When
this fact became known in New York, the com
pany’s bonds advanced to 87$. The Pennsylvania
Central is the richest company in the United States,
and the contract for constructing the Air-Line
Road being assumed by them, makes its early com
pletion beyond all doubt. There will be no lack
of money, and money builds railroads. If Presi
dent Buford’s expectations are realized, that- the
road will be completed to Spartanburg and the
trains running between this and Charlotte by the
first day of January, 1872, it will exceed the hopes
heretofore entertained by the most sanguine friends
of the enterprise, and will afford a cause to our
citizens of aelf-gratulation scarcely to be equaled
by any other event. We learn that the first in
stallment of the subscription bonds of Spartan
burg county aqd of the town been sold «t 75
cents on the flollar, The next annual meeting of

How Humanity is Made TO Pay at Sing Sing.
The mode of punishment now at Sing Sing prison
is this: The authorities take a small cord and slip
noose it around the thumbs of a prisoner, and then
raw him up by the cord one foot from the floor, and
let him hang till he faints. They havea convict
now under punishment whose keeper has hung
him up in this way three times, and he (the keeper)
says that the convict, begs that he will not kill him.
He let him hang an hour and ten minutes, I have
been told that the Doctor says that if he had been
left hanging five minutes longer he would have
been a dead man. After being taken down the
prisoner is put in a dark cell, in which planks are
laid on the flags, with holes bored in them and
pins driven in, which stick up about three
inches. The prisoner has to stand on these pins
in his stockings, or lie down upon them.
Hatt. Storm in Coosa County, Ala.—Won

About midday the storm began with great violence,
accompanied with rain, hail, vivid flashes of light

about thirty minutes, the hail falling in many
places to the depth of four to six inches, devastat

mile. Our farmers have wisely supplied the waste

The Memphis Ledger says Horace Greeley reads
his lectures iq ft monotonous tone of voice, apd
spoils aq elegant and philosophical lecture by a bad
delivery. Writers are never orators. The lecture
delivered at Memphis, on Friday night, on Self
made Men, was carefully prepared, and was writ
ten in a severe yet chaste style. The idea of class
ing Bums and Shakspeare, the great geniuses of
ballad-poetry and the drama, as self-made men,
was not generally regarded as correct His self
made men were intellectual men, not met) tfhq put
money in their purses, and who conie up tq the
popular idea of the tern). Mr. Greeley, while
speaking, gestured almost exclusively with his
right hand, and occasionally he nodded his head
forward at'the close of a sentence, as if to impress
its import upon his audience. His voice is sonie
whnt monotonous. and is strongly tinged with the
Eastern New York twang- The lecture was full
of philosophical truths and well-turned phrases,
and can fle summed up as exemplifying the idea,
“that the true Eden flea before, not behind ns.”
After the lecture Mr. Greeley was interviewed at
the Overton by his brethren of the press of this
city, which resulted in a pleasant and instructive
interchange of thought.

San; Francisco, June B.—At the conclusion of
the argument of counsel for Mrs. Fair, on a mo

informed Mr. Camphell, counsel for the people,
that it was unnecessary for him to reply. The
attempt t 6 iup peach jurors had failed, and he
would overrule the exceptions taken during the
trial. He then briefly alluded to the crime, and
impartial trial she had had, and sentenced Laura
D- Fair to he hanged on the 28th day of July.
A remarkable scene then ensued, Mrs. Fair
maintained almost her usual composure, but the
strong minded women who attended throughout,
manifested sympathy in the most ostentatious
manner—Mrs. Emily Pitts Stevens, leader of the
party, embracing the prisoner’s mother, then going
over to the reporter’s desk, telling them she hoped
they were satisfied now, &c. TJhese manifesta

In my response to brother McCallum, in the

which brother McC. supposed brother Sumner
would have given, had he been present at the
Convention in Jacksonville, I wrote, “If this
does not amount to the expression of a wish that
brother Sumner would wholly abandon the work
assigned him and his Board , and engage in work
assigned by the Southern Baptist Convention to
other Boards, I know not to what it amounts.”
By an oversight, easily accounted for, the
printer omitted the words which I have placed in

Rev. H. A. Williams, of Augusta, Ga., begs to
tender profound thanks for the following sums
towards the relief of his church fund: A. Owens,
tl; T. Youngblood, $1; J. M. Chapman, $1 • J. B.
ieely, sl. And thanks doubly compounded he
offers to sister Stocks, of Greensboro, for the gift
of $5, and wishes to know, how many others will
do as well ?
Twenty-five cents each, from a few hundred
Baptists, by united action, would be sufficient to
wipe out the debt and rejoice the hearts of many
anxious brethren and sisters. It is a great pity
that there is so little concert of action in such
enterprises. One single edition of the Index, with
a simple statement of such questions, ought to
excite sufficient action to liquidate all such little
claims.
A San Francisco dispatch of May the 31st tells
us that the British Columbia papers were greatly
excited oyer the prospect of the loss of the island
of San Juan, going so far as to advise the British
Government to seize it and hold it by force. The
possession of this island, lying in Puget Sound,
near the western terminus of the boundary line
between the United States and British America,
has long been a question of dispute between the
Government of the United States and that of
Great Britain. The question was left to the arbi
tration of the Emperor of Germany, who, as we
are informed by tbe dispatches published this
morning, has decided it in favor of the United
States. His decision is, of course, the end of the
argument, and the press and the people of British
Columbia must be content.

MRS. HANNAH FINDLEY.—Died, at her residence
in Rome, Ga., on tbe 6th of May, 1871, Mrs. Hannah
Fiodley, aged fifty-one years.
She was the daughter of James Woodham, a native of
Greene county, Ga. At the age of sixteen she made a
public profession of faith in Christ, and Was baptized by
Rev. John Hillyer.then pastor of Shiloh Baptist cbhrch.
From that time until her death (thirty-five years) she
maintained a consistent Christian walk. Her life of
faith, of unaffected piety, fortitude and patience, furn
ished the most satifactory evidence that she was pre
pared for death. She has left six daughters and two
sons to mourn their loss. The memory of her virtues
should be to them a precious legacy, stimulating them
to imitate her example. May the “ Father of the fath
erless ” preserve them from evil, end reunite them
with their beloved mother in Heaven.
DR. JOHN C. BINNS.—Died, on the 19th of May, at
his father’s residence, in Wilkes county, Ga., Dr. John
C. Binns, in the S6th year of his age. He had been a
member of the Baptist church about tweaty-five years,
and a deacon four years. In the relations of friend,
brother and son, he was highly esteemed ; as a physi
cian, he was very successful; as a church member,
faithful; and he used the office of deacon well, during
the short time he lived in it. How sal the thought I
“He that goeth down to the < come up no
more. He shall return no more to hisAbaoe, neither
shall bis place know him any more.” X Lord,
me to know my end. and the measure of ms dajra, what
it is, that I may know how frail I am.” O.
MRS. LUCY COSBY.—Died, in Wilkes coqntv, Ga.,
on the 14th May, 1871, Mrs> Lucy Cosby, aged 87 years,
1 mouth and 17 days. This mother in Israel joined the
Baptist church at Old Phillips’ Mill, in Wilkes coutxty,
in 1829, by experience, and was baptized by Elder Wm
H. Stokes. She died as she had lived, trusting in
Jesus. She now rests from her lahors, and her works
follow her. She leaves behind two sons, and large
l umber ot grand and great grand children, to mourn
their loss. May they ail follow her example, as she
followed Jesus, and live with her agate, iu the house
above, not made with hands. Y.

-new and attractive book is just published by
the Sunday School Board, S. B. C. It contains 5«
tunes, and 121 hymns. Os the tunes, 45 are new, and
the rest are choice pieces selected from the best authors.
Many of the hymns are also new, and the balance have
been selected with great care. The design of the book
is to inspire, in song, the purest and best religious sen
timent in our schools. Srtular and political songs are
entirely excluded. The book sings simply of Jesus,
and is admirably adapted to the wants of all our South
ern schools. One of our best Professors of Music says
of it: “I venture to say, that the book contains morn
useful tunes and hymns, and those that will wear, than
anything of the kind in the market.” Another of our
best Southern musicians says: “While the book is
Southern, all political and national songs are wisely
excluded from its pages. Our schools are full of North
ern books; and these, without exception, have some
reference to political or sectional opinions, which make
them objectionable. The book is a good one, and lam
persuaded that it will be received, and that it will ob
tain a wide circulation throughout the South. The
paper is superior, and the printing and binding are
well executed. I bid it a hearty God-speed.”
The book is sold at the following low prices: Single
