THE EXPOSITION AT ATLANTA. The International Cotton Exposition will close on the last day of the present month. Lei us impress this fact upon all who have as yet failed to visit this wonderful and unique display. We urge them to come. A walk through the brilliant avenues of the vast main building, and the numerous annexes and separate State buildings, is not only a source of infinite pleasure, but an invaluable source of practical edu cation as well. The eye is delighted by the kaleidoscopic beauty of the scene, the mind is impressed with the marvelous ingenuity and genius of the age; the energies of the spirit are in vigorated by the throb and thrill of modern progress, as embodied in this grand Exposition. We have here a bird’s-eye view of the inventive and productive results of the last quarter of this nineteenth century. The man, ftoman and child who leaves these grounds will take away impres sions which will last a lifetime; seed thoughts will be sown in receptive soil that shall blossom in after years and bring fruit for the benefit of individu als, communities and States. It is the profound suggestiveness of the scene, as a whole and in Us infinite details, the incomparable teaching qualities of this beehive of human industry, skill, power and thrift, that we desire to im prest particularly upon the thoughtful and intelligent. When the astonishment at the msg nitude of lifts successful enterprise, which is the first feeling of the visitor, has subsided, the feeling of intense curiosity, the desire to know, to exam ine, to sip copious draughts from this deep and sparkling fountain of knowl edge, succeeds and becomes the para mount motive of the visitor. Never before, in the history of our section, has an event occurred so inci sively pertinent to the needs and aspi rations of our people; never have they had an opportunity “to see and be seen,” in the relevant sense of the words, as they now' have. What they have done, what others have done, •what we are capable of doing, what others are capable of doing, what the South is and may be, what the North already is and will be —these are the pregnant themes which suggest then/ selves to the intelligent observer —nay, which force themselves with mighty impact upon the mind for immediate consideration. These are issues of des tiny which we cannot evade; they are imperative questions Which must be answered, intelligently,definitely. This Exposition holds within its compass both question and answer. Whatever is not answered directly, is suggested in away that every sensible man will at once comprehend. Besides these weighty, economic, commercial and industrial reasons, there are many others of minor impor tance, ’.vnictt uige the people of the entire South to visit en masse this grand locally and historically valuable Expo sition. It exercises its power to charm people, directly and indirectly, and by a thousand potent tendrils seeks to draw to itself the popular heart and quickened mind of our people. The management has left nothing undone that could foster or advance the best interests and the physical pleasure of the people; the railroads, „ by the reduction of fares to a merely nominal figure, have given unpre cedented impulse to the whole, and the people, all over the country, are re sponding to the invitation to participate in this feast of industry, art, science and genius. It is a grand success in every possible respect, and it deserves to be —because it is the crowning of a most memorable epoch. Speaking of the influx of foreigners io our soil, the Boston Advertiser, not ing that the immigration during the year ending with October reached the enormous tot. lof 693,565, makes these striking observations: “Few people, we venture to think, realize the full consequences of such an increase of population. It means an addition of fully one ler cent, in a single year to the demand for, and consumption of, almost every article that is made here or imported from abroad. It' requires the construction of a number of dwell ing-houses equal in the aggregate to the city of Chicago. It trenches upon our supply of food, it requires the pro duction of much more clothing. More over, it adds, though not so promptly, to the productive capacity of the coun try, and creates a sensibly greater amount of national wealth.’’ Bev. G. R. McCall, of Hawkinsville, has accepted the pastorate of the Bap tist church in Griffin, and will enter on the discharge of its duties, Jan. Ist, 1882.

WORSE THAN ETHIOPIA. LIFE IH THE TERRITORIES PICTURED BY A MINISTER. [New York Sun, November 28 ] In the Tabernacle Baptist church, in Second avenue, yesterday morning, the Rev. Dwight Spencer spoke of the dearth of religious influences in the far West, particularly in Utah Territory. He bad returned from that country in order to picture to the Baptists of the East the condition of the border land as seen from the standpoint of a clergy man and a Baptist. Mr. Spencer is a tall, straight, finely formed man of simple manners, who uses plain lan guage, speaks as distinctly as an actor, and exhibits an impressive earnestness and sincerity. “In the Wood River country,” said he, “there is not one day school, not one Sunday-school, not one church, and not one minister. ■ I preached in the village of Haley in a tent. The town is six months old. The people sat on the hear me. There was a faro bank in operation next door. The rattling of dice and the shuffling of cards were plainly heard. The songs of tbe'ballad singers, and the music of the bands went on as I preached. In the afternoon I preached in the next totvn, and close at hand two faro banks were open, while two or three others were doing business a little further off. “You would be surprised at the ele gance of these gambling Balloons,” said the minister; “they are fitted in black walnut, are warm and well lighted, and are, in all respects, the most comforta ble and attractive p’aces to the young men of those mining regions at pres ent. They invariably contain a liquor bar. Very often a young man brirfgs SSOO of earnings into town of a Satur day evening and lose? it all before Sunday morning in these haunts of vice. The devil holds sway so thoroughly in the country I speak of that there is no worse state of affairs in the heart of Central Africa. It seems Urn o, sometimes, that the effect of the education and Civilization these men have received in the East enables them to practise a refinement of vice such as is unknown in Africa. “Between Ogden, in the northern part of Utah, and Reno,” the minister continued, “there are sixty-seven rail road stations, and among them all there is not a minister, a missionary, or a church organization. All that is there, allied to these, are two feeble Sunday-schools. Altogether, in the part of the country I refer to—a tract eleven times larger than New England and seven and a half times as large as the Middle States —there is but one minister to every 2,500 inhabitants, and but one to every 4,090 square miles. If you want to get a correct idea of this religious desolation, imagine 2,500 people scattered over the surface of Connecticut, and then put one clergy man over them to minister to their spiritual wants. This is the picture presented in six Territories and one State, Nevada. “I asked a book vender on one of the two trains of eight coaches that daily traverse one section of this coun try what book he sold most. He said the greatest demand by far was for Ingersoll’s lectures. I asked him who were his best customers, and he replied that the cowboys were. These cow boys are the cattle herders —the most depraved and wicked people that can be conceived of. They ride into a town, get drunk, and then ride up and down the village shooting down men, women and children indiscriminately, after which they ride away to be seen or heard of no more. It is a disgrace, a shame upon the Christianity of America that there is no circulation < f moral and elevating literature to com bat Ingersoll’s infidelity. The best books sold on those cars are the traslv iest novels. I would send out works attractively printed, so that they would be kept by these benighted people; tracts with passages from our best ser mons, or I would not care if they con tained the writings of Josh Billings or of Bob Burdette of Burlington, lowa. The stories of John B. Gough would be good. Such as these I would have scattered by the thousand, aye, by the million, throughout that land. More over, we Baptists ought to put one missionary a day in tbe field during the next two years. Even then we would not have enough. Let us pray for the men as well as the money; for the men of purpose and of heart to leave these pleasant Eastern homes and battle in the Western wilderness. “Let us look at the cause in Utah,” he continued. “Out of 153,000 inhab itants, 140,000 are Mormons. John Taylor is to the Mormon Church what the Pope is to the Roman Catholic Church. The Mormon Church is a ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1881. one-man concern. If Taylor wants a Colony founded in any place, he simply names the men who are to go. If they are merchants, they sell' their stores and business; if they are farmers they part with their farms. I never knew of an instance in which he was disobeyed. The most trifling order must be carried out or the conse quences would be that the disobedient ones would rest under the ban of the Church. The Mormons don’t recog nize the Government of the United States. If they obey its laws it is only a matter of policy. They consider themselves the saints of the earth, and believe the world is theirs. If they don’t get it to-day they think they will to-morrow, and they propose to wait and to work.” The preacher thus showed the difficul ty of bringing together and organizing Christians in Utah. . The Christians me timid, and feel like strangers under ft reign rule. They know that the Mormon Church has many wajs of making its displeasure felt.* Worse yet, however, is the conduct of some of the Christians who are organized there. In Ogden, a Christian church gives a ball every fortnight, and any body who can raise fifty cents can take part in the dances. Frequently these balls break up in drunken rows This sort of thing, and the irreligious, gambling, whiskey-drinking officials and agents of the government out there serve as arguments against Christiani ty among the Mormons. These dis orderly persons are pointed out as sam ple Gentiles. The most eloquent sermon the preacher ever heard John Taylor deliver was on the subject of “The cor rupting influence of the Gentiles.” It was a sermon that would almost have moved an Eastern audience, “and,” said the preacher, “the worst of it was that the basis of it was partly true.” Finally, Mr. Spencer read a letter he had received front a Mrs. McPherson, in one of tl •; m’ning villages of Utah, asking to J t.ve a missionary sent out there. 81 e vyrott that in seven years, there had’Been but five reltjjious ser vices in her town. She said she would raise $. for a missionary if he would come. She knew the discomforts there, and appreciated what a sacrifice an Eastern man must make in going there, but added, “If anybody wants to work for God there’s plenty here for him to do.” She is endeavoring to maintain a Sunday-school there,•'where the preacher says the women swear and talk like the men. The annual report of the operations of the Treasury of the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30,1881, has been published. The receipts were $360,782,292.57, and the expenditures $260,712,887.59, leaving an excess of $100,069,404.98, of which $51,401,801 05, was used in the redemption of the debt. The receipts show an increase over those of the previous year from nearly every source amounting to $27,255 681.59. The expenditures are $6,930,070.19 less than last year, show ing a net increase in the surplus reve nue of $34,185,751.78. The amount paid for premium and interest on the debt was $83,569,990, a decrease of $14,982,905.57 from the amount paid in 1880. During the year, fifty-four national banks were organized and twenty went into liquidation, leaving 2,136 doing business at the close. No national bank failed in the year. In the last year there was an increase of $2,313,429 in one dollar notes, $1,891,- 310 in two dollars, $4,136,530 in five, $2,073,636 in ten dollar notes. The amount of the ones and twos has in creased $8,587,250 in the last two years. The chief cause of this increase is the revival of business and the great er demand for small notes for the pay ment of operatives and for use in small transactions. The amount of coinage of silver dol lars under the act of February 28th, 1878, to 30th of September, 1880, is $98,322,705, of which $32,373,426, or nearly 33 per cent., is in circulation, and $65,949,279 remain in the Treas ury’. Tbe amount put in circulation last year was $2,367,260 less than in the year previous, showing a consider able falling off in the demand. Os the fractional currency original ly issued $26,034,293 13 has been re deemed, leaving $15,474,444.35 out standing. Os this amount it is estima ted that at least $14,000,000 has been lost or destroyed, and will consti tute a profit to the Treasury. Judah P. Benjamin has written to friends in Washington that “ the Con federate bond flare-up is purely ficti tious,” and that “ there are no funds on deposit in England for the account of the Confederate States.” MAGAZINES AND BOOKS. an unusually strong and interesting number,, Among the leading articles is one descriptive of the “Old North Church," Boston, illustrated.

There are $13,000 more now ready for distribution, and for which we expect to get an order from Judge Underwood on the 28th instant. That will leave $32 000 yet to come. There are thought to be good assets to the sum of $25,000 that will be realized upon within six months. The securities for the bank do not think they can personally lose more than from $5 000 to $7 000. Major Sam. Morgan, Mayor of Rome, who is one of the bondsmen, has a large amount of real estate covered by fi fa. in favor of tbe Slate and under levy.
