The Baptists at Dadeville are trying to raise money to complete their church. Anew post-office has been established at Sweet Water, Marengo county. Rev. J. L. McCurry recently preached in Montgomery. In Troy, over 10,000 bales of cotton have been received this year. Henry Ezell and Nelson Walker, negroes, 'are to be hung in Clarke county, July 28th. In the neighborhood of Sumterville corn is only thirty cents a bushel. The crops throughout the State are generally in fine condition. Through trains are now passing over the A. & C. Railroad. Alfalfa is being successfully cultivated by the farmers of Greene county. Rev. L. R. Gwaltney, of Rome, is to be principal of the Judson Institute, at Marion. In Marengo county, recently, Brad Allen shot and killed his brother Frank. Rev. J. C. Self, of Jasper, has been very ill. The State Grange Fair, at Montgomery, be gins October 21st. Baptist State Convention meets in Montgom ery on the 13th inst. Daniel Carroll, who died in Calhoun county the 16th, would have been 100 years old in September. In Cherokee county, the 16th, James Wea ver was shot and killed by Lafayette Weaver, his cousin. _ It is thought Rev. Dr. Hawthorne, of New York, will be called to the First Baptist church, at Montgomery. The trustees of the Judson Institute, Marion, have passed resolutions regretting that circum stances have led to the severance of the rela tions heretofore existing between them and Rev. Dr. Sumner, and expressing their respect for him as a Christian gentleman and minister of the Gospel. We are pleased to learn that the Baptist churches of our sister city, Mobile, have been enjoying a season revival. The Broad Street church, under the labors of her paster, Rev. J. S. Paulling, assisted by visiting brethren, have been holding nightly services since the early part of May. Deep interest manifested by large and attentive audiences. A. B. Watson,of Blue Ridge Spring, South Carolina, in the Southern Culti vator for July says : I promised to give you the yield of my four acre lot, sown in wheat, (see Cullivalor for March, 1876,) and I herewith redeem my promise. It was sown the last week in No vember, ploughed in with the ordinary scooter plough —125 btlfhels of cottonseed having been jjieviouety broadcasted. Harvested with Buck eye reaper the 29th May—threshed the 2d day of June. Yield Hi bushels, or 40 bushels to the acre. lam satisfied the yield would have been much heavier, had not the frost killed a number of spots—the most promising parts of the field. The reaper was the first ever used in our section, and gave great satisfaction. They do best on land cleared of stumps and harrowed or smoothed. Our farmers cannot too soon substitute, as far as possible, labor saving-machinery and ma nures for manual labor. Such a course, coupled with a diversity of crops, will certainly herald the dawn of a brighter day. —The Borne Courier says: We regret to learn that Rev. L. R. Gwaltney has accepted the presidency of the Judson Fe male College, Marion, Alabama. While we cannot but rejoice for his sake in anything that conduces to his interest, and the interest of his family, yet for the sake, of his church and peo ple in this communty, we do most heartily re gret the call that takes him from among us. His place will be hard to fill. For the Index and Baptist.] OCR ALABAMA LETTER. How the Index is Loved—No Compromise with Error—Cnlon Female College—Agriculture. Dear Index —Not having, for a long time, written you from this part of the Great Vine yard, permit me to the privilege of saying a word or two, to the brethren who may feel some interest in us, of Southeast Alabama. This is the time of the year when a newsy letter is very difficult to get up, so 1 may have some trouble in making myself even presenta ble, yet, had I inuch business, I would not have time; so it goes. Although your humble ser vant is an occasional correspondent for the Alabama Raptist, and quite a number of its warm friends are in our midst, yet the old “Index,” will never lose its place in our hearts, and as long as it advocates the good sound Baptist principles and doctrines it does, I hope to see it in every Baptist family in the Southern States. You are right, brethren ! and I and our church at Eufaula, like your stand, on the communion question regardless of the opinions of D.Ds., M.Ds., or any other sort of Ds.; contend earnestly for the faith, as once deliver ed to the saints; it is no genuine charity tha t will compromise with error; the inordinate love of popularity will, most unfortunately, often lead, even good men, into false positions; but I can but hope that our Heavenly Father will yet fully open the eyes of all His saints, and the mighty Truth will prevail. Again, I fear we have some of our good brethren, who, had they lived in the dayß when persecution for religious opinion’s sake prevailed, would (well, not exactly have recanted,) first have sort o’ crouched a little. So full of the milk of human kindness are they, that instead of “de claring the whole counsel of God,” they would just drop out a little of it, so as not to give offense, and save the good opinions of the world, and those who difler with them of other de nominations. Our otherwise quiet community, has. just passed through a week of pleasant, profitable' stir, occasioned by the examination of classes of Union Female College, that is yet under the charge of our dear brother, W. H. Patterson ) of whom I wrote you last year. This year brother Patterson has made one of the grandest successes of his life; in the first place, entering fully into the Gospel ministry, and taking three country churihes in hisdliarge; and now giv ing an evidence to the community of his judi cious and wise management as President of a Female College; the development of an Insti tution in our midst, of which we may wellfell proud. I never witnessed Buch perfection in studies in my life as I did, hearing the exam ination of classes by the professors; and at the Junior exhibition the compositions were read most beautifully, and were almost faultless in conception ; also on Commencement day, it was an occasion which, as we listened to the essays by the Senior Class and graduate, we felt a justifiable pride, (we think,) in seeing the well directed “March of Intellect” and heart, controlled, as it had been, by so able and trustworthy a President, and so excellent a faculty to aid him in his well accomplished efforts. On the night of Commencement day, there was rendered by the young ladies of the college, the drama, so beaulifuliy written by Mrs 1 Niles, of Griffin, Georgia, “The Anglo-Saxon” —and we must say we never saw anything so handsomely rendered in our life. It was indeed America’s history epitomized, and so true to nature was every part performed, without a flaw, that the vast audience were perfectly carried away with the excitement of the thrill ing scenes enacted in our country’s history, and doubtless has fixed permanently in the minds of all present, facts which now can never be forgotten ; so much pleased are the people, that the Board of Trustees have been requested to urge its repetition for the benefit of the col lege, and of the many who could not gain ad mission before, on account of the lack of room. It will be again repeated on the night of July 31, prox. Next in order will be the male schools, who have their exercises next week, but I fear they will have hard work to make as good a thing as the young ladies; in fact, I never did believe that boys were as good students as the girls, and, in fact, they would be no account without them. As everybody is interested in the agricultu ral interest of the country, 1 am happy to say, that all around us, and away down to the Florida line, everything is most promising; in fact there never has been known such stands of cotton, and the corn is simply luxuriant; the oat cron already harvested, is the largest ever made in this section. Although there is no money now in circulation, we believe that next winter we shall have a superabundance, and we hope all those enterprises requiring it to insure suecess, will get their due share. The country generally all around us is in better condition than we have ever known it. Our hopes run high, and we feel much encouraged, and our|gratitude to the great Giver of all good fills our heart in thankfulness for his mercies. J. A. B. Besson. Eufaula, June 29th. 1876. The Palmetto street church, Mobile, has pledged SIOO to Howard College, and two hun dred dollars to the Theological Seminary. Yet, the property represented in it does not reach SIO,OOO. FRANKLIN PRINTING DOUSE, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JULY 13, 1876, Spiiil of the Religious Press. —ln commenting upon the complaint that many non-church-goers cannot atford to pay pew-rent and attend church, Mr. Moody sug gests with great pertinence that very many of these could easily provide themselves with a comfortable church home, and its attendant blessings, for the cost of one cigar a day and of the liquors they habitually drink. Very many even of those who are avowed Christians, who “ cannot afford ” to subscribe for a religious or temperance paper, spend many times the amount of such subscription for worse than worthless tobacco, if not strong drink. —The New York Methodist soothingly says: The Presidential campaign it beginning. We take the occasion to advise Christians to keep as cool as possible. Hot blood causes hot words, and hot words make enduring scars. Possibly you are mistaken after all in suppos ing that the other party would ruin the coun try ; but if you were right in your fears, it would still be the worst of electioneering to fly into a passion. The man who keeps his tem per, and holds his tongue in critical seasons, will be most useful to the cause. If that were not true, it would still be a bad business to im peril your salvation to elect anybody to any office. Keep cool and pray a good deal. —The Working Christian (Columbia, South Carolina,) says: We have a decided conviction that the “ modern dance ” has an altogether evil ten dency, and should not be participated in by church members or tolerated by churches. —Rev. J. B. Kimbrough, in a letter to the Baptist Reflector, says: I was never more surprised than when I read, in your last issue, that Dr. Burrows had communed with the Campbellities. Dr. Bur rows was the last man in the South that I would have suspected of open communion. He is a great man and a good preacher. I want to speak out, and eater my most solemn protest against his course. If he was a com mon man I, should hold my peace. The whole South should rise up as one man and condemn his unrighteous act. Ido hope that the Doctor will explain out of it, or make a public confes sion, and promise to do so no more. Dr. Bur rows owes this to his brethren, who are con tending against the world, the fleßh, and the devil, against this heresy. If sucii men as Dr Burrows turn against us, we will have to re double our diligence, and come to the front with greater vim and earnestness. Such acts should be held up to the publi condemnation and execration of all lovers of truth and gospel order lam glad that you have laiff hold of it with gloves off. I hope v o u may coritumu. to do bo. * i ' —There is a circular going through the country, signed by many prominent persons, urging citizens to memoralize Ccngress for the purpose of christianizing the Constitution of the United States by attaching an amendment thereto explicitly acknowledging God, Christ and the Bible. This circular says of the con stitution : “ This written instrument, the basis of all our national institutions, the compact by which we agreed to be governed as a nation, acknow ledges no connection between our Government and Christianity. It contains no explicit ac knowledgment of God, of Christ, or of the Bible. The want of any acknowledgment ot God or the Christian religion in the National Constitution is the most formidable weapon in toe hands of the enemies of the Christian in stitutions of our nation. Nor do they fail to employ it.” —The Biblical Recorder commenting upon this frankly says: Now these people propose to put the name and acknowledgment of God in the Constitu tion. We shall not help them. Neither will they succeed. It’s the beginning if church and State. This government was instituted to be free for all men, infidels and atheists as well as Christians, so far as the enjoyment of their opinions is concerned, with equal protection to ail. The constitution was framed with refer ence to this end. Let it stand. We do not want any more amendments. Ordinarily, it there’s any foolishness going around, some in considerate Baptist get’s caught in it. We are glad 'hat we do not recognize the name of any Baptist among the signers of this document or the Advocates of this movement. Baptists have suffered too much from rel gious legislation to be caught in such traps. —The Religious Ilcrald very tersely re marks; A brother writes: “I do not like aD allusion made of late, by one of your writers, to the colored people.” Nor do we. In almost ever, issue of the Herald are things that we do not like. Every person outside of a lunatic aaylum ought to know that a paper is not responsible for the views of its correspondents. —The Catholic World’s prescription for our political coiruption is somewhat remarkable Nothing will eflect a cure, it thinks, but “ greatly increased immigration from Ireland.” —We cannot forego publishing the remarks of the CongreyalionUst on religion in business in full. They are so appropriate and strike so forcible and directly one of the great evils of omission of our Christian duty, that the peusal of the article will commenAitself to the hearts of all. We need just such admonitions daily : Christian men must not attempt to eeparate their regligion from their business. No doubt there may appear, even to an honest mind, to be some reason for trying to do it. There is a maxim that “ business is business; ” that is, it is not mixed with friendship or charity. So a man may perhaps bet enacious of all that is due to him in making a trade and may abate noth ing. He may choose to serve his friends, or bestow his charities, in a different manner, and as a part of a separate transaction. So lar, perhape, no fault need be found. And where, exactly, the wrong begins, it may not be easv to say. But it does begin some where. And the beginning may be near at band. A man must be a Christian in his busi ness. All that this means, it is not for us now to undertake to say. But it is for him to find out if he will be a Christian. It is plain that a man may not be hard, and grasping, and selfish in his business transactions. Business, too, with most persons, occupies so large a share of life, that if religion and charity are kept out of it, they will have but small space left to cover. It is but a poor shift to grind the larborer in his wages, and then give him a dollar m pity. Have love for him, rather, when you hire him, and act like k Christian when you pay him. This will be more to the credit of your religion in his mind, and more pleasing, we may not doubt, in the sight of CjOu, than much making up afterward by gifts. The gifts, withal, afterward are apt to be for gotton. Ihe Bible rulejs, “ Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” Certainly this must Cover the doing of our regular work, which is the main thing we do. The question how the management of our business can be made to appear to be, and actually to be, thoroughly Christian in its rules and purposes, is one of some difficulty ; but it iB also one of indispens able practical importance; and one of the very hrst for each individual to lav hold of and set tle.

He says: ■dfc rauid, he cannot be excelled in the of the truths of Revelation; eMpthe doctrines which seem to be difficult, ann are often misinterpreted or mystified by some of the theological writers, are, in his hands, made as clear as the noonday’s sun. He has devoted himself zealously to the cause of Christ, and the work has prospered in his hands. He took the pastoral charge of this church August Ist, 1872, and during this time he has baptized about 200 converts. This church did well in selecting him as their pas tor, and any church should rejoice if the ser vices of such a man could be procured. He is an A. M. of East Tennessee University, having graduated there in 1850.

B. G. Manard, who is pastor in charge of the chapel here, and has been for nearly a year, is doing a noble work. He mingles with the people. Like the Master, he is ever going about doing good, visiting the sick and afflicted, and speaking to them words of consolation. Hence, he is entwined in the hearts of his peo ple.

A legacy of $12,000 has been made, to go to the institute if it shall be per manently established. —The Baptist church of Newbern, North Carolina, has doubled its membership in three months. The Biblical Recorder asks: Is it wise to start the question of merging the Home and Foreign Mission Boards of the Southern Baptists Convention with those of the Northern Baptists ? It seems to us that only evil can come of it. —Rev. R. H. Neale, D, D., recently ten dered his resignation as pastor of the First Baptist church, Boston, Mass. This, after a most cordial relation of forty years’ duration, was a surprise to his people. The desire for repose after so many years of service is the cause announced. t£T Oua Revised Hymn Book is in high favor, and the orders for it are numerous.

Life’s History; Its Smiles and Tears. Such is the course of life, made up of sun shine and gloom, gladness and sorrow, riches and poverty, health and disease. To attaiu the one, and avoid the other, is the aim of mankind. We may dispel the gloom, banish the sorrow, and gain riches ; but one thing we cannot avoid, sickness will overtake us sooner or later. Yet, happily that enemy can be vanquished, pains and aches can be relieved; there is a balm for every wound, and science has placed it within the reach of all. There 1b no discovery of modem times that has proven so great a blessing as Dr. Tutt’s Liver Pills. They are adapted to the cure of a greater number of diseases than any remedy known to Materia Medica. In malarial regions, where fever and ague, bilious diseases, and ailments incident to a deranged liver prevail, they have proven an inestimable boon, as a hun dred thousand living witnesses testify. A Health-Promoting Stimulant- Physicians, who certainly ought to be the bt st judges of such matters, declare that wholesome stimulation is not only desirable but essential in many instances. When the temporary good effect of a sound stimulant is confirmed and rendered permanent, as in tho case of Hostet ter’s Stomach Bitters, by the action of tonic and alterative principles combined with it, it becomes infinitely more efficacious as a renovant of phys • ical energy and a corrective of those conditions of the body which invite disease. The Bitters have received the emphatic sanction of medical men who have observed the effect of that popu lar stimulative cordial as a remedy for weakness, nervousness, dyspepsia, constipation, inactivity of the liver, malarious fevers, and many other disorders. Its baßis is sound old rye, tho purest liquor known to commerce, and itself possessing tonic properties of no mean order. A guarantee that auy one affected with con stipation or torpid Liver oan be relieved by taking regularly, by directions, Simmons' Liver Regulator. It lias beou known to cure in hun dreds of cases, and will do it again. “Asa general family remedy for dyspepsia, torpid Liver, constipation, etc., I hardly ever used anything else, and have never been disap pointed in effect produced; it seems to be almost a perfect cure for all diseases of the stomach and bowels. “W. J. McELROY, Macon, Ga.”
