AL A CHUA BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. Tbe Ssih annual session of the Alachua Baptist Association convened with the Lees burg Baptist church Saturday, October 221, 1881, and, as usual, commenced with an introductory sermon, which was preached by Rev Z A. Crumpton. After an hour's intermission, for refresh ments, tbe messengers assembled, and in the absence of the former Moderator and Clerk, deacon John Cordero, of Ocala, was called to the Chair and Rev. Paul Willis requested to act as Clerk pro tern. After singing, and prayer by R v. W. N Chaudoin, letters from twenty-two churches were read, giving a liberally fair showing of progress and be nevolence during" the Associations! year. The temporary officers were then penna nently elected, and correspondence called for, when Rev. E. J Hull was received from t>e Manatee Association ; brother T. W. Wilder, from the Wikawa; Revs Chaudoin a d Pack, from the Banta Ee River; and Rev Paul Willis, by request, represented the St. Johns River Association. Riv. B Marely Pack was recognized as Sunday-school Mis sionary for tbe State, of the American Bap tist Publication Society, and W. N. Cham doin, as Corresponding Secretary of the ‘■State Board of Missions,’ end editor of the F orida Department of This Chbibtiab In pex. Tbe former preached an earnest, practical sermon at night. Sunday morning a large and intelligent audience assembled at 11 o’clock (filling to overt! iwing the large new house of worship), to bear the mission sermon, which was preached by Rev. W- N. Chaudoin. A col lection for missions was taken, amounting to $.51 00 After partaking of a bountiful dinner, prepared on the ground, and at the houses of some of the citizens, the congrega tion assembled again, and interesting ad' dresses were made in a Sunday-school mass meeting by Elders Pack and Willis, and a collection of $8 SO taken for Sunday-school work. At night a peculiar, strong and good ser mon was preached by Elder Willis on the ‘Withdrawals of Jesus," and was made more impressive by the use of a map of P.les tine. Monday the body met for business at 9 o’clock a.m. and at 3 pm.; the business fl ushed, the body adjourned to meet at Ocala iu 1882 R-v. E J Hull, of Manatee county, preached an excellent sermon at night, showing why we are accountable to God, and for what we are accountable. Brother Hull came a long way to meet with the body, and will be remembered kindly as an earn es‘, faithful minister in the Master’s cause. Tbe hospitality of Leesburg wasjustgrand, and long will the messengers remember their delightful visit to this section of the State, a d to this prosperous and desirable com munity. The above, which we clip from the Lees burg Advance, has been much longer delayed than we desired, and was not published for weeks after the body adjourned, on account of the sudden death of Mr. George Pratt, who was then editor. In addition to the above, we desire to say that the amount sent by the churches in cash, was $117.26, which, with amounts mentioned above, and $8 55, collected for the family of Rev. J H. Tomkies, deceased, sll 00 for Associations! missions, and $3 25 for a pulpit Bible for Leesburg church, makes an aggregate of $199 06 The absence of the venerable and long time Moderator, Rev. William Johnson, was sensibly felt, as was that of brother C. H. Martin, the active, efficient Clerk for several years. The business of the body, however, glided easily along with the efficient services of brother John Cordero, as Moderator, and Rev. P. Willis, Clerk. Altogether, we must say the last meeting of this large and old Association was a most excellent one. The nex' meeting will be held in Ocala, Florida, including the fourth Sunday in October, 1882. Marianna Courier, 20th inst.: “The West Florida Baptist Association convened at Friendship church, near Greenwood, last Friday, and remained in session for three days, and a more successful Association was never held. The attendance on Friday and Saturday was not so large, but that ot Sun day well made up for it. Oa Sunday, from early morn until 3 o’clock in the afternoon, people from almost every section poured in. Georgia, Alabama and Florida were each well represented. By 11 o'clock the crowd was estimated at one thousand five hundred people, who, notwithstanding the dust and warm weather, had rode, it may be. many a mile, to listen to the Rev. T. E Langley, ‘the pride of the West Florida Baptist Asso ciation,’ who delivered one of his able ser mons, to an immense audience, under the shade of the grand old oaks which surround Friendship. About 1:30 o'clock dinner was announced, and such an one has seldom been spread. All over the groind one could be hold long tables burdened with every luxury one could desire or the country afford. No more chicken pie up there this year." The above, which is taken from the Daily Florida Union, is all we have received or heard in regard to the West Florida Asso ciation. We hope yet to bear more, and request brother Langley, or some brother, to give us the doings of the session—its mission work, etc. Will our brother Royal and sister Jeffords, and all the relatives, accept our sincere sym pathy with them in their irreparable loss in the death of sister Royal. What an irresis tible invitation to heaven you all have now! May it be a call effectual, and never forgot ten, is our prayer. The State Convention opened at Ocala December Bth, with a larger delegation than usual. The opening sermon, by Dr. A. H. Robinson, was a fine effort: practical, plain, effective, and well delivered. - » • We a-sisted Elders J. K and S. Sheffield, W. J. Martin and J. B Lamb in the ordi nation of N- T. King, Miller and Abbott to the ministry, and J. J Johnson to the deaconship, at Pine Grove church, Levy county, Thursday, December Ist, 1881. That is pretty large work for one day. The Lord bless the brethren. Diab Brother Chaudoin : Enclosed find postal order for $5 16, contributed by Mace donia church yesterday for Foreign Missions. Tnus we respond to your editorial, in Index, mentioning that the Wekiwa Association did not contribute to that obj»ct at its late meeting. Brother Tindall presented the matter, and I asked for money and you have the result. This is from the weakest church, but the largest contribution at tbe Associa tion. We had a good meeting; one received for baptism, and every person in the audience asked prayer in their behalf. Pray for them. Fraternally yours, S. F. Gove. Lougwcvd, Fia , November 14 ti, 1881. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, DECEMBER Ig, 1881. THE FLORIDA, ATLANTIC AND GULF SHIP-CANAL. The following preambles and resolution on the Florida. Atlantic and Gulf Ship- Canal, offered by Rolfe 8. Saunders, of Vir ginia, were unanimously adopted by tbe National Cotton Plantera'Convention on the Bth inst, viz: WuxaiAH, The Gulf Stream through the Straits of Florida, is notorious in the history of ocean navigation as being the most dangerous, destructive and costly ship route to navigate on tbe known waters of the globe; and that a large amount of tbe coni' merce of Europe, tbe United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, the Atlantic and Pacific, Inter oceanic commerce across the I-thmus of Darien ; and above all, the export and import com merce of the great Mississippi Valley, is ob liged to be shipped through these Straits, and over other and circuitous and costly routes, by water and rail, subject to incals culable losses and damages, amounting to many millions of dollars annually, which would be saved to the commercial world by its passage through a Ship-Canal across the Peninsula of Florida, connecting tbe At lanticOiean with the Gulf of Mexico and Carribbean Sea on a strait line ; And wukbras, By sundry surveys, made by the Government of the United States, and by private parties, since the year 1824, the fact is established that a Grand Maratime Cgnal can be constructed across the Penin sula of Florida, of the r quired capacity, at a reasonable cost; that it has long since be come and now is, a great necessity, and will, for all time to come, secure and possess ad vantages over all other routes by water or railways for this commerce; And whereas It has been computed from actual losses for the ten years, by wreckers on the coast of Florida, that the annual loss thereby is $5 000,000; and tbe insurance alone for a Gulf port is one per cent, greater than for Atlantic ports; And Whereas, Commodore Matthew F. Maury, tbe highest authority known to the scientific world on this subject, declared in his report on the Florida pass that, "rather than incur the risks of that dangerous navi - gation, four times the equivalent of railway transportation, with the delays and ex penses of two ship trans shipments, are pre ferred across the Peninsula ” And whereas It will 1 Avoid entirely the danger jus and costly navigation of the Gulf Stream through the Straits, and around the Peninsula of F.orida, 2. It will greatly shorten the time and sail ing distance from all Atlantic ports of the United States and of Europe to and from all Gulf ports, and the westerly ports of Carib bean Sea and Havana in Cuba 3 All international commerce, and the present and increasing vast coastwise trade of the United States, using-the Gulf Stream route around said Peninsula, will and must be shipped through this Canal, because of this great saving in time, money and sailing distance. 4. It will save the damages to, and losses of ships and cargoes and extra high insurance incurred through the Gulf Stream, amount ingto many millions of dollars annually; and will save the extra supplies and wages, wear, tear and use of ships; interest on commerce and shipping capital now lost in the long time and perilous,circuitous voyages around the Peninsula while it will greatly reduce the freight charges on all commerce going through tha pass. 5 It will be the shortest, cheapest and best water route to tbe Atlantic seaboard possible, for all that vast surplus commerce of the Mississippi Valley and the Gulf States, now seeking a cheaper and better route and for which the United States Government, by its improvement of the Mississippi River, is aiding to establish an outlet by that route to tbe Atlantic ports of the United States, and for the markets of the world. The two hundred millions of dollars’ worth of pro duce that now perishes annually for the want of means ot transportation, would thus be saved and thereby that immense sum added to our productive wealth, 6 It is the shortest and cheapest ocean route for trans'continental commerce to and from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, which will be carried over the Southern and Texas Pacific Railways,having tneir termini at or near the port of New Orleans, and also over the railroads across the Isthmus of Tehaun tepee. 7. it is the shortest and cheapest route for the inter-oceanic commerce to and from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, through the proposed Panama or Nicaragua Ship-Canal, and the Tehauntepec Ship Railway. 8 It will always make New Orleans, Gal veston, Mobile, Pensacola, Vera Cruz, Havana, and other Gulf and Carribtean Sea ports, great and direct trans shipping ports from the land to sea and from sea to land markets; and to the Gulf States it will afford the only feasible export route to the Atlantic Ocean markets. 9 To the United S ates Government it will affird very great national advantages for defence and protection of her Gulf States, and for the safe protection of her Navy and army in case of war with a foreign power, threat ening the Southern portion of the Union and the commerce of the Gulf of Mexico. 10 To the State of Florida it will prove of incalculable value for the development of her commerce and vas nat ;ral resources increase of population, agriculture and man ufactures. It will establish a great city at each terminus of the canal, and will secure to the State all the advantages of direct trade with the markets ot the Northern cities and States, and with foreign countries; and it will greatly promote the drainage of the In ternal Improvement Lands of Florida. 11. The United Stites Government has de dared this Mississippi River and Florida Ship Canal the cheapest and best route pos sible for the export of the surplus product of the Mississippi Valley and the Gulf States to the Atlantic Seaports and to the foreign markets. The British Government Reports declare this route will establish direct trade between Europe and the Mississippi Valley ; and the Russian Government declares that by this Strip Canal and the Mississippi river route “the costof transport of grain from the Mississippi Valley to Europe will be dimin ished more than li'ty per cent.; and that it will render the United States the absolute controller of the prices ofgrain in the Brit - ish markets; and that Russia will be utterly unable to compete with her; and that on its completion, tbe United States will drive Russian grain out of tbe markets of Western Europe.” Any improvement which will accomplish these results, would be cheap at any cost of construction. 12 That this ('onvention endorse the con elusions of the United States Senate Report on Transportation Routes to the Seaboard, which declares that “ The uniform testimo ny deduced from practical results in this country, and throughout the commercial world, is that water routes, when properly located, not only afford the cheapest and best known means of transportation for all heavy, bulky and cheap comodities; but that they are also natural competitors and most effective regulators of railway transportation; and that the Mississippi R ver is the most feasible and advantageous route now in ex iitance or that can hereaf'er be created. This royal river, with its tributaries, ass -rds connected ste.,m navigation tor over 25 000 miles in length, which our National Boe'■•I of Trade declares can be increased to 50 000 miles by utilizing its sub-tributaries. Tais conclusion is c mfirmed by the greatest com mercial nations of Europe. After long and steady trial they have demonstrated that the cost of transportation by canal is seven times cheaper than by rail, while by river it is sis ■ teen times cheaper. The same rule must hold good in our country. In Europe, tbe rail way and water routes are worked in co operation, and noth have become established succeoes, commercially and flnanffially The same rule is being adopted iu thiscoun try, and in the near future will become as popular and useful here as it is in En rol*. The railway companies now carry wheat from the trans-Mississlppi States to tbe seaboard, each car averaging about twelve round tripe and delivering one hundred and twenty tons of grain in one year; while the same car on the average, can make fl ty trips to the nearest river ports an 1 deliver .500 tons of grain in the same time. Thence by the barge system all the surplus grain and other commerce can be carried down this grand system of rivers to the Gulf of Mexico cheaper than at ocean rates, thus making the Grand Railway System of the Mississippi Valley five times as efficient in local trafle, and practically five times as profitable. That the Railway System of our country has accomplished gigantic results of incalcu’able value and benefits—that the i uprovementa proposed will not effect ti e great Trunk Rtilway lines unfavorably, from the Mississippi River to the seaboard, as thev now have and always will have all the business they can do to make their capital in their construction and operation remuner ative and very profitable. As an example of what good results the operating of the Mis sissippi river has already accomplished in its present imperfect facilities for handling commerce, it is encouraging to quote from the circular issued by the Board of Trans portation of the city of New York, dated May, 1881: That the rate per bushel for freighting from St. Louis to New Orleans by barge, is 6 cents per bushel, white the pool rate by rail to New York from St, Louis (less milage than the river transportation to New Orleans) is 20 cents per bushel. Tue average of freight from New Orleans to Liv erpool is about 6 pence per bushel; from New York to Livepool, 4i pence; so it ap pears that grain is carried from St Louis to Liverpool, via New Orleans for I" cents per bushel, while it costs to transport via New York, 291 cents. From St. Paul, Minnesota the rate through to Liverpool via New Or leans, is 27cunts, while vis New York, itis 421 cents- And the fact seems self evident that upon the opening of the Ship Canal that grain and c-.iton can be shipped to New Y irk and all our Atlantic porta, by this cheap and all the way water route at much lower freight rates than the railways can ever do the same. Therefore Be it Resolved by this Con vention, That it is the duty in tbe interests of the Mississippi Valley, tbeGulfStates and the Atlantic Siates, for the National Gov eminent to improve the River System, to make it thoroughly efli dent, and to grant aid and encouragement for the construction o'the Florida Ship Canal in the immediate future; and that the Gulf States especially Florida, also, contribute such assistance they have power to do 70 SUBSCRIBERS.

A life-saving medic! e. was originally prepared by the late Dr. L. F. Whiting,of Cbailestown, *Ma-s.. and used by him for many years with great success in the treatment of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Piles, Biliousness, Sick Headache, Humors, and General Disor ders of the Digestive Organs. Mr. C. F. Burt, after spending hundreds of d li ters for medicines and medical atte dance, aud being obliged to give up business, and travel In hopesol obtaining relief from a severe case of Dyspepsia, finally applied to Dr. Whiling, and obtained a perfect cure by tbe use of a | rescrip tion which the ductor gave him. and after much solicitation, Dr Whiting gave him jierm sstou to make and a 11 the medicine, which he did, under the name of BU KT S DYSPEPSIA CU KE. The present proprietors knowing its great value from its afiects among their friends, and from tbe universally favorable testimony which they have received from others, feel that in ottering this remedy to the public, they can do s.> w ith confi dence that its use will meet with gratifying suc cess, even in very severe cases. As many are not aware from wbat Dpspepsia arises, it is thought advisable to mention that in some instances it will affect the patient with a pain at the pit of the siom ch, caused by undi gested food (a sort of pulp in a s <oe of fermenta tion), Sick Headache, Hear burn, Waterbrash, Pain in Side and Breast, Bad t aste ‘n the Mouth, Foul Tongue, Acidity of the Stomach, Loss of Sleep and Appetite, Weariness, Faintness, Verdi go, Sudden Flushes, Chilis, and the Nerve Fabric becomes shattered In fact every organ sympa t iz s to some exrent with a disordered Stomach, and Dyspepsia reigns rampant Many there are who imagine they are in consumption, who have a hacking cough, are melancholic, bordering on hypochondria, have hectic flush, mental and physical debility, etc., all of which are supposed t • be the premonitory symptoms of consumption, when they are really and truly the evidences that you are sfflicted with Dyspepsia. Burt’s Dyspepsia Cure has cured cases of Dys pepsia which had lor years bafll d the skill of the test physicians, and after hunreds of dollars had been spent iu vain attempts to obtain relief, a small quantity of Burt's Dyspepsia Cure afforded a prompt and permanent cure. Burt’s Dyspepsia Cure relieves Indigestion al most instantly, one or two teaspoonfuls taken at any time when oppression is felt after eating, re moves the diffl -ulty at once. Persons who have suffered for years with Dys pepsia, have been able to eat a hearty meal with out discomfort, alter taking a few doses of Burt s Dyspepsia Cure. For Constipation and Piles, this will be found a safe and effectual remedy; it has completely cured severe cases of many years standing. For Sick Headache, with which so many people are frequent sufferers, this medicine has bee proved to be a certain relief. When taken prompt ly- at the first indications of an attack it has often pre' ented its coming, and finally eradicated the difficulty,and relieved thesuffzrerfrom areturn of this distressing complaint. Burt’s Dyspepsia Cure, being a mi d cathartic, elderly peop e will find comfort by its occasional use, as it is very mild in its operation and is not unpleasant to take. Don't fail to use Burt's Dyspepsia Cure for any of the above named complaints. It is prompt in giving relief, and a small quantity affects a cure.
