Dedication of the Enfanla Church.
The finishing touches, in the way of paint
ing and furnishing, are now being given to our
splendid new building, and the dedication will
take place, the Lord willing, on the first Sab
bath in November. Rev. J. L. Burrows,
D.D., will preach the sermon, and other able
ministers will assist in the dedication. Sev
eral brethren from a distance havo promised
to be present, among them Drs. Mclntosh,
Sumner and Battle, of Marion, and I now
extend a cordial invitation to all to come.
It will be quite convenient for brethren who
expect to attend the Alabama Convention, at
Montgomery, to be present, as that meeting
takes place the Sabbath following the dedica
tion. Montgomery is distant from Eufuula
only one hundred miles by rail, and the
Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad will be
completed by that time. Brethren who ex
pect to come, will please notify me, that
homes may be provided for them.

Ordination.
At the instance of the Aberfoil Baptist
church, a presbytery, consisting of Elders
Wm. Pritchet, J. J. Pitts and W. H. Carroll,
met on 24th September, 1871, for the pur
pose of ordaining Bro. A. J. Arnold. The
presbytery wa3 organized by appointing W.
Pritchet, Chairman. By request of the church
and presbytery, W. H. Carroll, of Union
Springs, preached the ordination sermon ;
theme, “ Power of the Pulpitand after full
and satisfactory examination, the candidate
was set apart to the full work of the ministry,
by prayer and laying on hands by the pres
bytery. Prayer by W. Pritchet, and the
charge and presentation ot the Bible by W.
11. Carroll. Bro. Pitts, being indisposed,
took no leading part in the work. Benedic
tion by the candidate. The Spirit of the Lord
was present in power during the whole ser
vices. A large audience listened with undi
vided attention and deep emotions to the en
tire sermon, and most absorbing interest was
manifested throughouttheexamination ; while
the candidate enunciated, without hesitation,
clearly and smoothly, the great cardinal doc
trines of revelation—the Baptist faith. Bro.
Arnold is in the meridian of life, a ripe scholar
and very successful educator. Ilis diffidence
and humble opinion of his own ability has
kept him from ordination before this, but he
is a good thinker, of earnest, tender spirit,and
no doubt would make a successful pastor.
For years, he has desired to leave the school
and give himself wholly to the work of the
ministry ; but the war left his estate a little
embarrassed, because creditors would not
take the currency, and he has been working
that off. He is now co-principal of the Union
Springs Institute, working successfully.

Another Baptist Church In Italy.
The following letter from Rev. W. N.
Cote, missionary to Italy, of the Southern
Baptist Convention, discloses the intelligence
that another “Baptized Church of Christ”
has been organized in Italy. Under date of
July 18, he writes: I returned last week
from Bari, an important town on the Adriatic
coast, where 1 had been invited to administer
the ordinance of baptism. The church in
that locality, composed of seventy-five com
municants, and until recently under the con
trol of the London Continental Society, have,
after prayerful study of the Scriptures, deci
ded to receive baptism by immersion and
join our denomination. I had the privilege
of baptizing forty brethren and sisters ; the
remaining thirty-five will receive the ordin
ance as soon as circumstances will permit, at
the hands of their beloved pastor, who was
duly intrusted with his charge. I consider,
the acquisition of the church at Bari a most
important one for our cause. Among the
leading members is a gentleman holding a
government oflice in the city, another who is
now at the head of the school, was formerly
superior of a monastery at Leeca, and a third
is a talented lawyer who exercises his gift of
speaking in the meetings with much accept
ance. Nothing could be more pleasing than
the intercourse I enjoyed with these dear
brethren. They all united in requesting me
to salute, in their name, the dear brethren of
America. As 1 have said, Bari is an impor
tant city. It contains a population of eighty
thousand souls, lies on the railway from Bo
logna to Brindisi, and carries on an extensive
commerce with the leading ports of the Ad
riatic Sea. The work of the gospel will be
prosecuted energetically, for it is an impor
tant centre of operations, in the south-eastern
provinces of Italy.
Ingathering.
The churches at Loachapoka and Notasulga
have been strengthened by recent valuable
accessions to their membership—l 6to the
former and 10 to the latter—resulting from a
series of interesting meetings held with them,
in which I had the valuable aid of Bro. G. E.
Brewer, who made lasting impressions by his
able, earnest preaching. The good work is
still going on. The fruits we hope continually
to gather. W. E. Lloyd.
Auburn,
North Georgia Revivals.
I write you a few lines, as to our religious
affairs in this upper country. We have had
gracious revivals in many of our churches.
My design is to give you an account of such
as have come under my immediate notice, in
churches of which my husband, Rev. LI. S.
Moore, is pastor, and one or two others he
has attended as a help to the pastors.
Pleasant Grove church, three miles from
this place. Tbe meeting held there com
menced the 3rd Sabbath in August, and con
tinued for one week. Result: Quite a num
ber, say about twenty, professed faith in
Christ, and 15 were added to the church by ex
perience and baptism, (two of these yet to be
baptized.) The church and community were
aroused, and we believe great and lasting
good was accomplished. Had not the meet
ing been stopped by the ill health of the pas
tor, and rain, the meeting could have been
protracted another week to great advantage.
There were many asking the prayers of the
church when the meeting closed.
Dogwood church, near Tunnel Hill. The
meeting commenced the 4th Sabbath in July,
and continued two weeks; our esteemed and
faithful brother, J. M. Stanabury, acting as
temporary supply. Result: Quite an awak
ening in the community ; the church much
refreshed; many sinners inquiring the way
of life; several professions, and several added
to the church by baptism.
New Liberty church, near Graysville, Ga.
The meeting commenced the Ist Sabbath inst,
and the meeting interrupted a part of the
time by sickness of the pastor, Elder H. S.
Moore. But we trust great good was accom
plished. Numbers of penitents, and about
11 conversions, as far as we have learned.
The door of the church was opened but once;
three joined. To-morrow week appointed as
the day to attend to the ordinance of baptism,
and we expect then to receive others. The

tempt as yet to hold a series of meetings with
this church, but the pastor hopes to, be able,

laformatlen Desired.
The correspondence between Bro. Hen
derson and Col. Hodgson seems to be draw
ing to a close without effecting all the results
aimed at. I hear, from brethren of intelli
gence, the idea advanced and commented
upon, that the Faculty of the University of
Alabama will not make their official positions
subservient to sectarian purposes. In reply
to this, it may be safe to say, “ that which
has oeen, may possibly be again." The case
of Dr. McGuffey, of the University of Vir
ginia, has not passed entirely out of the
minds of our people, and perhaps Bro. J. C.
Hiden, of Wilmington, N. C., Dr. Jeter, of
Richmond, Va., Dr. J. A. Broadus, of the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, or,
possibly, yourself, might renew our recoliec
in regard to the prominent points of that
case—at least, so far as to show whether
there is danger to the Baptist cause. Is it
not due to the Baptists of Alabama to give
us the information ? May it not, at least, be
prudent to hear from Bro. Hiden before de
ciding to send our young men to the Univer
sity to the neglect of our own College ?
Hoping that Bro. IT. will give us some of the
reminescences of his student days, I am yours,
truly; A Baptist.
Dr. T. C. Teasdale at Morristown, Tenn.
We have just closed (Sept. 7th) a meeting,
at this place, of 19 days’ duration, resulting
in the conversion of 13 precious souls, and
the addition of 14 members to the church,
half of whom are heads of families. The
greater good done consists in the revival of
our Christian graces; in the development of
the gifts of the membership; in the confi
dence inspired in the church, as such, to con
duct meetings of this kind; and in the many
good and lasting impressions made in the
community, from which we expect to gather
up fruit many days hence. Dr. Teasdale did
all the preaching, and has made for himself
many new, but warm friends among us. His
untiring zeal, his earnest prayers and faithful
sermons—full of gospel truth—will be long
remembered. M. V. Noffsinger.

Eli. A. T. Spalding, D.D.-Synopsis el Rift
Introductory Sermon.
Rev. A. TANARUS, Spalding arrived in the city,
fropa his late home in Louisville, Ky„ on
Friday last, and immediately entered on his
pastoral duties. He preached his introduc-'
tory sermon on Sunday morning, at the Sec
ond church. His congregation was very
large, and deeply interested. We are indebt
ed to the New Era, of this city, for the fol
lowing synopsis of Dr. Spalding’s discourse :
“ The text was 2nd Corinthians, v: 21, from
which he deduced the doctrine of the two-fold
substitution: that God, in His great mercy,
did actually treat His Son, the Lord Jesus, as
though He were the sinner, in order that He
might treat the sinner as though he were
righteous. To the first of these, especially,
the attention of the audience was directed:
that God did treat Jesus as though He Were
the sinner—" God did make Him to be sin.”
Injhe elucidation of this thought,it was shown
that the promises which God has made to the
righteous, though they held good in the case
of others—as Moses, Joseph, Daniel and Da
vid—yet failed the Son of God in His entire
life.
Though of the righteous it was written—
“them that honor me, 1 will honor;” yet fur
Jesus, who ever honored God, there was a
birth in a stable, a cradling in a feeding
trough, a boyhood in exile, a youth obscured
by poverty, a life of hardships, a career cov
ered by the world’s scorn, a death of igno
miny.
Though to the righteous there was the un
failing promise of “ deliverance in the time
of trouble,” of which multiplied instances
were cited by the speaker, yet of Jesus it was
written—“ all thy waves and thy billows are
gone over me.”
An instance was here narrated as having
occurred in a hotel which once stood in this
city, in which the burdened soul of a distress
ed suppliant went up in prayer to God, and
not unavailingly; and the experiences of God’s
children were appealed to as evidences of the
faithfulness of God to His promises. And
yet God dealt with Jesus as though He were
the sinner during all those days in which
Jesus voluntarily occupied the sinner’s place.
Two more departments of proof were pre
sented from the facts that, while to the
righteous there is afforded comfort in the val
ley of the shadow of death, and then, after
ward, support in death’s trying day, yet to
Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemene, the cup
was given that He should drink it to the dregs,
and on the cross, the sense of His Father’s
complacency was entirely withdrawn. He
was left “accursed,” “forsaken of God,”
“ bruised for our sins,” “ wounded for our
transgressions.” The Lamb of God sacrificed
in our stead.
Many instances were narrated of the
abounding grace of God to His saints in
modern times, when in their days of dark dis
aster, as in contrast with the sad end of the
Saviour’s life of self-sacrifice for the sinner’s
welfare.
Fair Week.
The Atlanta Fair opens on Monday next,
and will continue during the week. The in
dications are, that it will lie equal, in all par
ticulars, to the great State Fair held here last
year. The premiums ranges high in the
thousands, and the entries are encouragingly
large. The Park buildings and grounds have
received additional improvements. Accom
modations ample for 25,000 visitors, and as
many more as will honor us with their pres
ence. The different leading routes of travel
and transportation have generously offered,
and will bring passengers and freights at half
rates. The regulations of the Association
are such that exhibitors and visitors must
find their attendance on the Fair pleasant and
profitable. Let those who have not made
entries, do so at once, as the time is very
short, and further delay may produce confu
sion. Come to the Atlanta Agricultural and
Industrial Fair. ,
Chicago in Ashes—A Terrible Scourge.
Dispatches from Chicago, dated the 9ch,
state that the fire of Saturday night had been
subdued, after a loss of half a million of dol
lars’ worth of property, but that another fire
in the western district commenced at 9
o’clock Sunday night, two mile 9 distant from
the Court House, and this fire, up to mid
night Monday, was still raging. Madison
Market, and Claiborn, Jefferson, Buffalo and
Griswold streets are ruined on both sides.
Chicago river is a mass of ruins. Many ves
sels have been burned. Three-quarters of the
city lying north of the river is in ruins. All
is terror.
It is impossible, now, to give an approxi
mately correct statement of the losses, but a
faint idea may be formed, when it is stated
that every bauk in the city, except two sav
ings institutions, on 22nd street, South di
vision, and one on Randolph, West division,
are destroyed. All wholesale stores and all
retail establishments, the Post Office, Court
House, Chamber of Commerce, and every
hotel in the South division, except the Michi
gan avenue Hotel, which, standing on the
extreme southern limit, escaped, though
badly scorched ; every newspaper office ; the
Tribune building, which was supposed to be
fire proof, finally succumbed ; every theatre,
six of the largest elevators ; the immense de
pots of the Michigan Southern and Illinois
Central Railroads; both the passenger and
freight depots of the latter ; more than half a
score of churches, and much of the shipping in
the river are all destroyed.
Men who were millionaires yesterday
morning, are nearly penniless to-day. But
more terrible than all, is the certainty that
many people perished in the flames. How
many, none can tell. Perhaps no one ever
will be able to tell; but it is certain that sev
eral perished, and there are heart-sickening
fears that the victims will be counted by
scores. Hundreds of horses and cows have
been burned in stables ; and on the North
side, numbers of animals, though released
from confinement, were so bewildered and
confused by the sea of fire which surrounded
them, that they rushed wildly to and fro, ut
tering ciies of fright and pain until scorched
and kilted.
Any attempt at a description of the scenes
and appalling calamity would be idle. The
simple fact is, that the once great city of Chi
cago is destroyed; that hundreds of millions
of active capital here have vanished, and near
ly a third of Chicago’s inhabitants are house
less and dependent. Any attempt to embel
lish would be mockery.
As the awful day draws to a close, thou
sands of anxious eyes watch the clouds of
smoke, which still roll over the burnt district,
with evident dread that a sudden change in
the wind may turn the flames on the portion
of the city yet spared. There seems, how
ever, to be little cause for apprehension of it,
and the firemen from other cities are con
stantly arriving.
Col. J. J. Wilson, Superintendent of the
telegraph, is in receipt of dispatches from the
leading cities, announcing that aid Is being
prepared for the sufferers. Col. Cloway, of
St. Louis, telegraphs that seventy thousand
dollars have been subscribed by the mer
chants there. Cincinnati promises two hun
dred thousand, and Cleveland is proportion
ately generous, although a great deal more
will be required to relieve the immediate
wants.
Latest News from Chicago.— The latest
from Chicago is, that the wind had veered
round to the North, and the fire was raging
in the southern part of the city again ; that
it had driveu out the temporary office of the
Western Union Telegraph, which had been
opened at nightfall at the corner of State and
Sixteenth streets, a quarter of a mile from
any signs or effects of the fire until the wind
shifted. The office will be re-opened two
miles further south. It is reported that all
hopes of saving the city has been given up—
that it is doomed. The fire jjstill pro
gressing. rtfpidly to the northward, and had
passed Lincoln Park. Steam engines and
provisions are going to from all
points.
Very Latest. —All the city was burned
north of Harrison street, between the river
and the lake, northward to the limit
of the city. Even the trees of Lincoln Park
were destroyed. The Government is bring
ing all resources to their relief, and all rail
roads are carrying supplies free, bylast trains.
A heavy rain at Chicago put out the fire.
This statement is confirmed through regular
and official chanuels.
All the leading merchants who have been
seen, express a determination to resume busi
ness at once. The Evening Journal and the
Tribune hope to publish small sheets to mor
row. A special session of the Illinois Legis
lature has been called to aid business men,
and to provide employment for the poor, ap
prehending that suffering may cause crime.
Some losses of New York insurance com
panies, by the Chicago fire, are stated as fol
lows: Citizens, $25,000; Hanover, $250,000;
Columbia, $3,000; Republic, $225,000;
Tradesmen's, $25,000; Germania and Niag-
ara have risks, but the amount is not given.
Hartford, Oct. 10. —The Phoenix Insu
rance Company has issued a circular assuring
agents and patrons that they can meet their
losses, leaving a handsome surplus.
The circular concludes : “ The lesson" of this
disaster will compel a liberal advance on rates
hitherto paid.”
Folk Conuty and her Resources.
A correspondent of the Atlantic Constitu
lion, in speaking of Polk county and her re
sources, says:
“The means of wealth in this -county are
superior to those of any others county in
Georgia. Some will think it an extravagant
assertion, but capitalists who have had occa
sion to examine into such matters will testify
to its truth. The Etna Iron Works, in the
Western portion of the county, are in sue
cessful operation. Mr. West, a large capi
talist, has purchased land in the eastern por
tion, containing almost an inexhaustible bed
of iron ore, upon which he will at once erect
other iron works. The two companies will
require the employment of about six hundred
laborers. There are other localities around
Cedar Town where the ore is plentiful, and
it is scattered in inexhaustible quantities
throughout the county. The State Mining
companies are at work near Van Wert, and
growing in interest every day. Polk has, or
will have in thirty days, perhaps, anew ac
quisition to be found in no other county, that
is, a narrow gauge railroad in ramvng order
—the Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad.
The grading is complete, and the track being
laid, and soon the little truckle wheel engine,
with its train of little doll coaches, will wend
its way, as a ray of light, our moun
tains, pregnant with wealth, and valleys with
their beautiful winding stream and rich laden
fields of produce. The North and South
Railroad is now being surveyed through the
county, crossing the other road at Cedar
Town, and is being hurried to completion.
Who will gainsay that Polk is'tUe wealtiest
county in Georgia, when she is sending out
her thousands of iron, slate, marble, produce,
etc., and laborers and capitalists are flocking
in like soldiers to a surrendered .city ? The
sources of riches are here, and can be hidden
no longer from an inquiring public. Popu
lation is coming in, and saw-mills are in de
mand throughout the fine forests, to saw up
the timber into lumber, of which there will
be enough to keep and to spare. Here you
may raise corn, cotton, wheat, oats, clover,
potatoes, etc., in abundance. \k working ma
chinery is your forte, here is water power,
ore, and other things ta feed7k,. Are you
seeking health and a pleasant community to
live in? I don’t think it can Tie surpassed.
The water is fine, scenery beautiful, and air
healthy and pure. The people are peace tble,
industrious, law abiding Democrats.”

MRS. ELIZABETH SLAPPY.-- Departed this life,
ou the 21'th of August, sister Elizabeth Slappy, wife of
A. G. Slappy, in her 60th year. She lived with her
husband 44 years and 11 months, and had been a lover
of Jesus 41 years. She connected herself with the
Methodist church in 1830, hut changed her views and
joined the Baptist church in 1854. She was a faithful
wife, a devoted and affectionate mother, a devout and
consistent Christian. She lived the life of a true
Christian, aud died tbe happy death ot tbe righteous.
She remarked, wheu dying, (hat there was not a cloud
between her and her God. She earnestly requested her
surviving children to meet her in heaven. The deceased
raised 12 children, nine of whom are still living Her
aged companion lingers yet behind. We lose, in the
death of sister Slappy, a mother iu Israel.

MRS. CATHARINE STONE.-Died.at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. M. A. E Carter, in Wilkes coud
ty, Ga., on the morning of the 23rd of September, 1871,
Mrs. Catharine Stone, relict of the late William Stone,
of Warren county, in the 62nd year of her age.
The subject of this notice was born in Jones county,
in 1809. married to Mr. Wm. Stone iu 1830, and was
baptized into the fellowship of Williams’Creek Bap
tist church, in 1855. Being a woman of great intel
lectual independence, of strong convictions, ot remark
able business capacity, of high aud pure priuciples,
and of a warm, sympathetic aud benevolent heart, her
life, iu all its aspects, was most exemplary. Bereaved
of her husband wheu her youngest child aud only son
was an infant, the care of retiring her children, aud
managing a large estate, devolved upon herself alone.
But she was fully adequate to the great task, and her
grateful children boast that they owe to her their pres
ent culture, social position and religious training. She
enforced al! her good lessons by example. Asa neigh
bor, friend, mother, Christian—in whatever light we
view her, we are equally impressed with the largeness
of her heart, the dignity of her character, and the
sanctity of her principles. Her life was a continuous
success, aud her death the completion of a great vic
tory. The secret of her sucoess and usefulness was
her faith in her Saviour. She was “strong in the
Lord.” No part of her life was so signal as its close.
It was her sud lot to bo greutly afflicted just before
her death. But always cheerlul, self-possessed and
hopeful, she never betrayed the slightest impatience.
Not even the most torturing pains eould extort from
from her a single complaint, or hasty expression. As
her end npproached, she would often say, “ I am near
the end of a long journey—l|shall soon be at rest.” Her
leavts-taking, with her weeping family, was most af
fectionate and affecting. “ Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord from henceforth : yea, saith tbe Spirit,
that they may rest from their labors, aud their works
do follow them.” *

Tarrant’s Effervescent Seltzer Aperient

this preparation is one of the most delightful, as well
as mild and cooling cathartics, chemistry has yet de
