of Milledgeviile Methodist Church :
, Brethren—Your very kind note addressed to
the Session of the Church of mv boyhood, to which I
have hern permitted to minister for several years, has
been referred to meTor reply. Attached as I am, not
only to the generous church aud congregation, which
I foe! called upon to leave for another Held of labor,
but also to the community in which so much of my life
has been spent, whose Christian people of every name
and whose citizens generally have ever honored me
beyond my deserts; in behalf of the Presbyterian
Church nnd myself. I with peculiar pleasure accept
the invitation so fraternally and so gracefully tendered
Providence permitting. Sabbath morning, December
frith, will <>e the time most convenient for me to
preach mv farewell discourse in the Methodist Church
so kiudly'offered for the occasion, and to nnite with
our lellow-Cliristians 0 f the two Churches in com
memorating the death of our common Lord and Sa
viour.
Remembering oar pleas iut associations ia the past—
thanking you for the cordial and brotherly spirit ex
hibited in year note, commending each oi you, your
congregation, and our entire community, to God aud
the word of his grace.
Faithful! v, anti ultra vs your brother in Christ,

...... „ Cuni and
iQf to be disappointed now 1 Indeed not, and accord-
ingiy on Tuesday night, Dec. 17, our auction was held
id vu voted by all a complete success.
Tbo weather was inclement, but owing to the exer
tions of Masters Barnes, Brown and Luue, the rooms
ere warm and comfortable, and the audience though
smajl was sufficient to secure active aud spirited bid
ding. Oar Bombers were augmented by some young
friends from the country who live at too great a dis
tance from us to be regular attend.-iute of our Sunday
School, but had united witli us in the raring of Mis
sionary corn. Surronuded iu great measure by familiar
faces, our little corn-raisers st on felt at case, and the
sffgir took the semi-social character of a parlor enter
tainment rather than a more forma! public gathering.
A neat and tnxtetui stage had been arranged, the Sun
day School were grouped upon it an t aft r a prayer by
Rev. Mr. Lane, all united in singing “Our Missionary
Song.” Afew remarks were the i made explaining the
aiai nnd object ot our effort-, an 1 a fii e class of wide
awake little boys stopped to the front of the stage and
assisted by some of the older ones, sang the pretty
song ‘’Giving,” preparatory to the auction of their
earn The bidding was lively aud at its close, we
ere iuvited to view ‘‘a scene from tb' Mission to
Hindoo women.” As the curtains drew back, we be
held the gentle and dignified Missionary.her work on
the stand by her side and the (Joi d Book in her hand
bunding torwurd with an air ut chastened earnestness
toward a native Dar.cisg-girl in silver crown and
spangled draperies, who wiih outstretched a - Qi end
averted face seemed to repel the holy truths present
ed for her acceptance. In sharp contrast a Parsce
convert in the gorgeous attire ot her caste, reclined
gracefully at her teacher’s Let. looking meekly nnd
lovingly into her face. A little in the rear a queenly
Calcutta lady in gauzy robes an 1 gleaming jewelry
had drawn aside her veil that she might ni n e fully
satrify her woman’s curiosity concerning the Missiona
ry, while more in front a lovely Bengalese on her way
to the temple of her God her offering in a silver casket
[ borne aloft iu her hand, had paused to look upon the
| novel scene.
Following this unique and beautiful tableau, came
| a class of bright-eyed little girls who sang “The Golden
Rule’’ and after the auction o! their :-oru came the tab
lean of the “Departure of the PiodigalSon.’’ This scene
is too well known to need description, suffice it to say the
attitudes were striking aud expressive, the costumes
tasteful and true to the period they represented, the
fast youug Jew, especially being a marvel of orieutnl
richness aud glitter. .Six manly iads, who have not
out-grown their attachment to Sunday School next
sung with spirit “Keep to the iighrboys,” and after
the auction of their corn we had the ‘ Return of the
Prodigal Son.’’ This tableau was equal iu beauty
and expressiveness tv its companion and the Jewish
dandy of the funner scene was trausfqiined into the
ragged vagabond of this, with magical skill and effec
tiveness
Next followed the beautiful “Childrens Te Dcum,”
sung by the sweet voices of a class of young Misses
ami the auction of their corn.
Who that saw the tableau of' Hope" will soon for
get it? The fair young girl L-auiug on an anchor, her
white rope falling iu staturosque folds, tile radiant eyes
raised toward thu heaven pointed out by the sculp
tured linud—all had the exquirite finish of a line en
graving. May that star ot hope never cease to shine
till lost in the brightness of eternity i
A part ot the Bible class were absent.from sickness,
but their song “The Happy Time,'’ rang out cheerily
and the:r corn quickly found bidders.
The last tableau “The Baptism of Pocahontas'’ was
appropriate and beautiful. The baptismal group iu
theirsuowy robes, the magnificent Powhatan in his
Indian garb with the sister of Pocahontas sitting with
the grace of nu Indian princess at his feet, and the boy
with bow and arrows at his .-ide, the Virginia ladies of
the olden time in their s'ateiy but not ungraceful dress,
the pure and simple Quaker maiden, the enamored
Rolte, Uieclear-headed G'npt. {Smith, and the hardy
settlers with their guns were all faithfully reproduced
and formed an artistic and impressive scene.
The closing song “Toiling On” was finely sung and
the exercises were closed with a benediction. The re
sult of the auction was eminently satisfactory, amount
ing to $30,00 which will probably be expended in
Bibles to be used iu the womau's Mission in India. The
exercises of the evening were carried out in a manner
highly creditable to the Sunday School. The songs
(excepting the lastj were from the new book “Fresh
Laurels" recently adopted by the Suuuey School and
were rendered doubly attractive by the superb voice
of a lady who favored tn with her assistance on this
occasion. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the
ladies not personally connected with the Sunday School
whose skill and energy wrought such a marked success,
to the tarteful hands that created so much of grace aud
beauty in the surrouudinge, and t ithe gentlemen who
even at "the eleventh hour’’aided iu the completion
of arrangements beyond the skill of feminine fingers.
Especial thanks are due to Mrs. I)r. Green and Cant
Wilcox of the State Lunatic Asylum for their inva.u- .
able as.-ritnuee. E. S. Viuson, D. C. ltrundage, W. II. U. Barnes, S. E
AVo are glad to find that the San day School at Mid- j Whitaker, M. A. Barnes, W. H. Stembridgo, aud E.
The former with lestoona of grapes was graced,
The latter, bnstle-laden and tight-laced.
The gay dame spake: “ Fie! Bacchus, cease yoor
ways!
My husband, now, with yon spends all his days.
And even my fond lover, by your wiles,
Wastes on his cups instead of'me his “smiles."
Leave off your ti icks, and tell Dick Callaway
To seek repentance, cloee his doors, and pray.’’
The jolly god looked archly o’er the way.
Anil thus lie “said, (or tried to say) his say”:
“O Jupiter! Thoa monarch of the sky!
Turn inward on herself at least one eye
Of every fashionable stuck out dame !
Let them berate no one in Virtue's name.
But on (heir bended knees thy grace implore
To gloss their secret doiugs deftly o’er!"
Dire Wralli Hashed fierce o'er a'l sweet Fashion’s face,
And streamed like light Auroral o’er the space.
‘Vile slanderer! Pagan dog!" exclaimed the fair,
“No wonder panthers to tlie sacred were,
Siuoe thy blood thirsty spirit seeks to feast
On Innocence which doth offend the least—
Now, with thy tongue, assailing my pure nnme,
Next, with thy cups, reducing man to shame.
“Behold McArthur squatted on that log.
By tiiee degraded from a man to hog!
Behold thy votaries, thousands, day by day,
Waste wealth, and health, and life, and soul away !
And turuest thou preacher ? O. vile beast, avaunt! 1
And so he did; but soon, on moonbeam slant.
He glided o’er my head to Fashion's side,
As ouly gallants after midnight glide.
With low obsisance. hand upou his heart,
lie held a goUel with resistless art .-
The foaming wine did sparkle iu tlie rays
Of waning moon-light, mingling, now, with day's;
Aud Fashion s brow relaxed, the wine she took,
She drank, and wore the wine-god’s joyous look,
And then McArthur slept, and knows not whether
Fashion and Bacchus did the same together.
Tiie sun came up; the busy stir of man
Began to mail; in life another span,
The Dav’s brief span which brings aud takes away,
l akes Time, and brings the Never-ending Day,
Doors opened wide; and CliNX and Quinn once
moie
Served thronging customers that filled their store,
As at none other customers are favored
With goods the best by lowest prices flavored.
At length u:ilo McArthur’s longing eyes,
The blessed son of Callaway did arise :
Swift to his “Bar," for morniug “bitters'’ came
More saints and sinners than I choose to name;
McArthur with the former silly quaffed
Ope chill-dispelling, soul-iuspiring draught,
Then, wiping not his lips upon the street,
Homeward he moved his sauctimouious feet.
10
And where was FasUion ? Where the Jolly Goii?
Retired to take a cosy morning nod ?
Oh, no ! A runaway match they now have made,
Their vows are interchanged, the rite is said.
Their lives, and uinib and destinies united ;
Where visits one, the other is invited;
By Hymen bound, through fair aud stormy weather,

ANNOUNCEMB NTS
FOR SHERIFF.
To the People of Baldwin County.
I announce uiysdtf a candidate for the office of
Sheriff of Baldwin comity, for tbe following reasons:
I was present in the Democratic Convention held in
Milledgeviile on the first Wednesday of this month
prepared to submit my claims to that body, but a ma
jority of those composing it declined to make a nom
ination, and after much wrangling and disputation re
ferred the whole matter to the militia district* of the
county. Such action was contrary to Democratic
usage, precedent aud principle; and so viewing it, I
dissented therefrom and declined the use of my name
in the body composed of tli e District delegates, appoint
ed under this new law of non-reprcstnlalxon of the
people.
That body composed of twenty-four citizens of the
comity, met in secret session on lost -Wednesday and
made nominations for tlie party. Now I hold that
this District system is unfair aud unjust, because
based upon territorial distinction, aud in utter disre
gard of population, which is the true basis of repre
sentation, and Jbeiug not only without precedent, but
an abandonment ot all past party usage, 110 Demo
crat is bound by it, but on the contrary, must change
his principles to abide by it.
The great object of the popular convention system,
is to secure a tair majority expression ot the popular
will, the inevitable result of the new system (through
district combinations) is the defeat of that object, in
the suppression of the popular will, and thus believing
I cannot lend it my sanction, but appeal from it to the
great convention ot the people at the ballot box,
with itn abiding conviction that they will ratify my
“faith” and my candidacy on the first Wednesday in
January next-
Verylrespectfully, ~ JOHN;B. WALL.
