POLITICAL.
The result erf the fall elections,
thus far, have been decidedly
heavy upon the party in power.
The negro humbug has about
played out North, West and East,
and the South has had quite
enough of Radical rule to satisfy
all who can get a fair ballot.
It is said the Republicans have
lost Maryland.Virginia.New York.
Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska, and
sustained tremendous losses in
Minnesota, Michigan, New Jersey
and Massachusetts.
Os the result in Wisconsin, the
Chicago Times says: “ Wisconsin
has been Republican ever since
the days of Barstow and the ‘For
ty-Thieves,* a period of about
eighteen years. During all this
time it has been intensely, uncom
promisingly, and almost univer
sally Republican. The State gov
ernment has been Republican, the
local government has been nearly
all Republican, the two Senators
have been Republican, and, with
one or two exceptions, the entire
delegation in Congress has been
Republican.
“All at once something has ex
ploded in Wisconsin, and the Re
publican party has come down a
total wreck. Grunt had a majority
of nearly 20.000 one year ago; Mr.
Taylor, tile ‘ reform ’ candidate,
has a growing majority that may
amount to 20,000 before it stops.
The counties already figured up
show a ma jority against Washburn
of 13,000 with more to hear from.
‘Boss’ Keys, the Chairman of the
State Central Committee, has
stopped counting, and says that
‘The whole thing has gone to
h—l? The Fohd du Lac Common
wealth is of the opinion that
‘chaos has come again.’ The party
organs all over the State are won
dering what the matter can be.
A panic has struck them. It has
come so suddenly, and with such
resistless force that they don’t
know yet what bit them.
“ The Republican defeat in Wis
consin is the severest blow that
has ever been dealt to that party.
It is one of a series of cumulative
reverses from which it will never
recover. When Governor Wash
burn, who unites personal popu
larity with personal worth a de
gree rarely attained in public life,
cannot carry the State of Wiscon
sin, the district of the people in
the party which he represents is
no longer of a doubtful or tempo
rary character.”
The Savannah Morning News,
of November 11th, on “The Un
promising Outlook in the North,”
says: “ It is impossible, after pe
rusing our Northern exchanges
from day to day, to divest our
selves of the conviction that the
worst of the suffering resulting
from the financial revulsion has
not; yet been experienced, espe
cially in the manufacturing and
commercial centres of the coun
try. The agricultural sections
must continue to experience moie
or less depression from the gene
ral scarcity of money and the
paralysis of the business enter
prise of the country; but we have,
especially here at the South, no
reason to apprehend such general
want and suffering as must be ex
perienced this winter in those
manufacturing towns and large
cities of the North, where such
■vast numbers of men women and
children will be deprived of em
ployment by which to earn their
bread. Massachusetts sends word I
of the reduction of employes and '
u’ages by a large dry goods lirm I
of Boston; of the cutting down of
hands and pay, with a ieduction
in the hours of labor, on the East
ern Railroad and in ihe company’s
shops, and of the determination of
the Lowell mill owners to begin
at once lo run on three fourth
time. Some Connecticut factories
reduce their force one half; IS hat
factories at Rending, l’a.. close
their doors; a cotton and wool
mill in Philadelphia suspends and
turns adrift eight hundred men,
women and children; two large
mills of the Pennsylvania Iron
"Works, at Danville, announce that
they can woik only each alternate
week; while Cohoes, in New York,
reports ten thousand persons out
of employment. From St. Louis
comes nm of the winding up of
the affairs of a heavy commission
house,and minor failures are re-,
ported in other parts of the
country.
Indeed, from all -evtions of Ihe
North and East the accounts arc
growing daily more discouraging.
With all this stagnation, queer j
taiutv and growing discontent in
the North. the news of financial
stringency and depression in Eng
land is only calculated to increase
the ditliculiies of the situation and
to give increased cause for appre
hension of <. vll. Truly is the
country at large beginning to
realize the evils of bad govern
ment. who sowed the wind 1

AGRICULTURAL.
We have hitherto, and intend
regularly, to give a large part of
our space to the interests of agri
culture, but we are so much press
ed with other matter again this
we -k, that it becomes necessary
to continue our request that our
farmer friends indulge ns further.
The truth is we mu t enlarge our
paper and that speedily.
As the best matter we could
give in the same space and just
at this time, we send you tliis
week the two following articles
which we find in the selections of
a h.ghly valued exchange, the
Newberry (S. C.) Herald:
THE HEALTH OF FARMERS.
A medical contemporary says:
“Farmers have unequaled natural
advantages for health, strength
and longevity. The statistics of
diseases and the tables of mortal
ity, however, are against them
This is due not to their vocation,
but to the.r misuses of it. No
class, as a whole, is properly so
utterly reckless of health condi
tions. So far as our acquaintance
with the habits of farmers is con
cerned—and it has been exten
sive—it compels the conclusion,
as a rule, that the dietetic habits
of the farmers are worse than
those of any other class who have
the means of choosing for them
selves. Fried dishes several times
a day, with several articles at
each of the three meals, is one ol
their common abominations; dried
beef, old cheese, and pickles, are
among the common relishes, while
lard and saleratus make their
richer dainties infectious and
caustic. We have seen on a far
mers table, fried pork, fried eggs,
fried potatoes and fried griddle
cakes for breakfast, fried ham,
fried hominy and fried parsnips
for dinner, and fried sausages and
fried doughnuts for supper—all
the frying done in lard. No class
is so troubled with canker, erysi
pelas, tumours, cancers and hu
mors as farmers; and the exces
sive use of pork, lard, fine flower,
lich cakes and greasy pastry are
enough to account for it. In die
tetic habits our farmers are sadly
misled by the agricultural jour
nals, all of which pander to then
prejudices, and flatter the morbid
appetites by recommending and
commending swine breeders and
pork eating while they fill the
kitchen column with recipes for
making rich and palatable pud
dings, pies, cakes and other com
plicated dishes, which no stomach
ever carried inside a human I oJy
could long tolerate without death
or dyspepsia The essential need
of our farmers is plain wholesome
food, properly cooked. This would
give them much more available
strength for work, relieve them of
many of the distresses and ex
penses of sickness and add many
years to their lives, and render
old age * green ’ and normal in
stead of dry and decrepit, as it is
in most cases under existing hab
its.”
AVTt’MN PLOWING.
An exchange says: “ In all heavy
clay soils and heavy clay loams,
autumn plowing is of great ad
vantage. The winter frost is a
mechanical fertilizer and disin
tegrator of such soils, if we will
but put them m proper condition
to be acted upon. Potash is one
of the elements of such soils, and
with them one of the chief values
for small grain. The mil eral is
found under two conditions, one
fixed and the other tree. The pot
ash is slowly dissolved in water—
it thus unites with sand to form
the coating of the straw. In the
other condition mentioned it is
fixed, and in that is insoluded in
waler, and. like humus, is unfit
for food of plants. To prepare the
fixed potash in soil—that is to
disintegate it —we must expose it
to air, moisture and heat; hence
we must pulverize the soil by the '
winter frost, to admit of these ;
conditions. Autumn plowing is 1
supposed to kill many insects;j
that it does this, to some extent,
is doubtless I rue, but we appro-!
head less than it has credit for. It
can be done at a time when the
teams are strong, the weather
cool, and so much of the spring
work is out of the way, while for
spring wheat and barley it is al
most indispensable.”
Mixed Bread.—Scald two quarts
of meal. After it has cooled add
a cupful of best yeast and allow
it to stand over night. Mix early
next morning, using sufficient tine
flour to make loaves that will
stand up nicely. It is necessary
to add more salt than for white
bread, with the addition of one
teaspoonlul of soda and one cup
of molasses. Allow it to rise as
other light bread, and have the
oven very hot when first p it in.
It requires more time than other
hread.
A CARD.
TO THE BAPTISTS OF ATLANTA.
The church case which has been
pending here for sometime be
tween Rev. Sir. Davis and myself
having been brought to a present
rest, and now stands so that he can
move in the matter again at any
time, should he and his friend.
Rev. Mr. Wooten see, or think
they see, a favorable opportunity
to do me any injury thereby, and
inasmuch as they are actively en
gaged in working up public opi
nion against me wherever they go,
but especially here and in Atlanta,
and as you are likely to be trou
bled with the case, I feel in duty
bound to give you a brief state
ment of the main facts out of
which it all grew.
The first difference between Mr.
Davis and myself arose at the
organization of our church. He
presented articles of faith for
adoption, which were in sub
stance, the same as the old Lon
don confession—ultra Calvinistic.
I offered that which is known as
the New Hampshire confession,
which is much more liberal. The
latter was accepted.
I soon learned that his views as
to uniting with other Christians
in public worship, were with those
known as Landmark Baptist. In
this respect we differed as widely
as the poles.
When the time arrived for choos
ing a Pastor for the present year.
I purposely absented myself from
home I did so because I was un
willing to endorse his views by
voting for him, and as I believed
a majority of the church desired
to retain him, I intended strictly
to conceal my objections, for the
purpose of preserving peace and
harmony in the church. He was,
as I expected, re-elected our Pas
tor. A committee was appointed
to notify him thereof, and request
his acceptance, and they reported
at the next monthly meeting, in
effect, that he was willing to serve.
provided, satisfactory arrange
ments were made to secure his
compensation. It was then pro
posed that the members present
should stale how much each would
pay monthly, during the year.
The Clerk noted their names and
sums.
I sat still and said not a word
during the whole proceeding that
far. tSome one, having observed
that I had been silent, very inno
cently, no doubt, called on me by
name, to know how much I would
contribute. Embarrassed as I was
by such question, I arose and re
marked, in substance, that I did
not approve that plan of treating
for the gospel; but thought that,
if a minister felt it his duty to
preach, he should and would do
so, and trust the Lord and his
people for a support; and that
when a minister does so faithful
ly, the church should see to it that
his compensation is liberal—fully
as much as he could earn at any
other laudable avocation. My
chief motive in »o saying at that
time was, however, to evade a
committal, as things then stood.
The plans pursued by the Primi
tive Baptist and the Methodist '
Churches for that purpose are •
each free, liberal and unobjec-1
tionable in my estimation, but j
further than that 1 really doubt
the propriety of going.
I declined saying what I would
pay him; and our personal rela
tions were made no better by that i
day's proceedings.
A few days thereafter I had a
conversation with Rev. Mr. Woo- 1
ton on that matter. He insisted :
that I was wrong, and asked me |
if I, as a lawyer, did not want to j
know what my fee would be, be- '
fore I undertake a case. I told
him I did. He then replied, there
is no difference in the two cases—
that a minister has as much right j
to haae his compensation fixed j
and secured as a lawyer, and tri- j
umphanlly inquired, where is the ,
difference? I answered that, if j
ministers preach /<>/• money, there j
is none; that lawyers profess to ;
work for money, and they do
not expect to claim nor receive j
any extra compensation for their
professional services in the world ,
to come, and added the remark
that, if preachers put in their .
claims on the same ground and j
receive pay for their labors in this ■
life, as lawyers do. I insist that '
they have no more right to expect ;
compensation in heaven, as
preachers, than we have to such ;
expectation as lawyers,i
any of us should be so fortunate j
as t<> get there, but which some
people think will be the future
home of but few, if any. of our
money loving profession. Where- 1
al my Rev. friend became indig
nant and the discussion closed.
A 'fieri rime iftertU' pro<*o» »l '
ing in the church last mentioned,
I handed our Treasurer ten col
lars, and requested him to add
that to my last year's contribution
for our Pastor's support. I had
st ill made no promise for this year,
but intended, all the time, to do
my duty in that respect, as cir
cumstances might require, by pay
ing from time to time what I
should think just and right. Time
passed on, but I saw nor heard
anything from him which showed
a more kindly feeling on his part.
At the close of one of our month
ly meetings, it was determined to
protract the exercises. I approved
it, and, lor the purpose of making
the most we could of the occasion,
moved to invite members of all
other Christian families, and par
ticularly Dr. T. Boring, (a local
Methodist minister,) to come and
unite with us in our proposed
meeting.
The motion was promptly sec
onded, but gut Pastor did not put
dm question to vote, unti, his at
tention was called a second time
to his omission in not having done
so; he then arose, and to the as
tonishment of the congregation,
admitted that he was opposed to
such union meetings, and thought
it best that each branch of the
church should conduct their own
protracted meetings themselves.
The motion was withdrawn. The
meeting proved a failure,as should
have been expected. And, which
was much worse, the most bitter
sectarian feelings were aroused in
our community. Our relations
toward each other were of course
again made nothing better, but
much worse.
The Advance was started here.
He made the attack on me in that,
with which our readers are fami
liar. That he was prompted there
in by vindictive feelings toward
myself personally, I entertained
no doubt from the beginning, and
which I design proving true when
the proper time comes for me to
do so.
For none of which services have
I felt it my duty to pay him any
money, and, therefore, I have not
paid him anything toward his
salary for this year. Perhaps it
would have been better for me
and Ihe peace of the church if I
had, in that particular, acted more
prudently.
On the morning of October 16th.
Mr. Wooton (who acts the part of
Rans Sniffe"' in this fnreicnl pro
ceeding) called at my house and
notified me verbally, that a called
meeting of the church had been
held the previous night, and that
I was requested to meet them that
night to answer a charge of heresy
—in holding that a child has no
soul before its birth, and that
Christ had no human soul. • To
that summons I answered by a
written note, requesting that the
charges be reduced to writing,
and a copy furnished me, that I
might answer it understandingly.
That was done, aud a few days
thereafter the Clerk handed me a
copy, in which I was charged thus:
“Teaches in his book that Jesus
Christ ‘was not a man in any
sense.’ that he had no human
soul,” The first ground, (as to the
time the soul enters the body,) as
will be perceived, was dropped
and the other enlarged, by the
first clause, and which is simply
false in point of fact.
On Sabbath thereafter the
church requested Rev. Dr. Tucker
and Lev. E. W. Warren to visit
and advise with them on the heal
ing of the case. They came as
requested on Friday last. The
case was called up. The prose
cutor. Mr. Davis, asked leave to,
withdraw his charge for the pur
pose, as alleged, of amending and
presenting it again. I objected i
and insisted on a I rial then and
there. The case, however, was
allowed to be withdrawn, but was ;
not again presented. Mr. Wooton
then moved that each of live
churches, the names of which he
read from his memorandum book,
(and the location of which covers
a territory including both Macon
aud Gainesville,) be requested to
send an ordained minister to meet
with and advise us on a hearing
of the case. That resolution was
adopted. I a<ked the mover if he
had not talked with the ministers
he desired to have here, about
this case. He mentioned two to
whom he said he had not spoken
a word about it, but he did not
deny having approached the
others with a view to preparing
for this ease. Nor did he, oz any
body else, says that Mr. Davis had
not posted the other two.
A quiet, modest, but honest old brother !
arose and moved to reconsider that reaohi- '
tion, aud sul«titnte one requesting each of
the five Baptist Churches, in Atlanta, to
s» nd us such help. That was done.
It was then expected that the charge, m
j -me shape, would he renewed on Bsbbsth
thereafter, in regular Conference. That
day came and the Conference met, but no
charge against me was presented, nor was
any time set or preparation made for fur
ther action thereon. I called up my counter
charges against our Pastor and insisted that
both cases proceed, and together, and with
out unnecessary delay; but after a desper
ate though unsuccessful effort on the part
of Messrs. Davis and Wooton to give the
charge presented against the former some
sort of short and sweet termination, the
meeting adjourned, and left the whole
thing standing on but one leg.
When our peace loving Pastor and his
obsequious friend will get the matter work
ed up again, in such shape as they may
think safe for the action of the Church, or
what that shape will be, are alike unknown.
Pastors and members of the several Bap
tist Churches in Atlanta may look out for
the Rev. Mr. Wooton, in the capacity of
an interviewer, at any moment.
My views on the theological question
involved may be found in the Advance of
last week. James P. Simmons.

<Jo- Education.
We believe in the co-education of the sexes; we limit their association ; they meet
only i > the recitation room, except in passing to and from the academy, and during the
susiicnsion of regulations pertaining thereto. Their association to this extent makes
them more attentive to pc rsonal appearance, and more refined in speech. It gives boys
higher feelings of l onor, for they dread the opinion of pirls who scoff at meanness,
littleness aiul profanity. It stimulates girls to greater mental effort, and makes them
more capable of thinking for themselves. It gives boys better ideas of true womanhood.
It gives girls better ideas of true manhood. D elevates both, morally and intellectually.

There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in order
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. >uch a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross High School.
