Baptist Convention.
On Thursday next, 22d insk, the Geor
gia Baptist Convention will meet at Mil
ledgeville for its fifty-third session.
This important body represents a
constituency of 70,000 white Baptists.
It is the owner of Mercer University,
mid of several other educational institu
tions in different parts of the State, in
cluding one orphans’ home in Atlanta.
The total number of white Baptists in the
State one year ago was about 100,000,
and the number of colored Baptist 64,000,
making a total in round numbers of 164,-
000. It is now at least 170,000.
Rev. J. H. Hall is appointed to preach
the introductory sermon on Thursday,
22d, Rev. J. H. Campbell, alternate. On
Tuesday night and on Wednesday a
grand Sunday-school convention will be
held, at which all the principal Sunday-
school men of the denomination in the
State will be present, and we are assured
a very interesting time is expected.
In the convention itself many things
of interest will come up, not only to the
denomination, but to the community at
large, and we propose to have a daily re
port, as usual, for our readers, includ
es* perhaps, the introductory sermon for
our issue of the Sunday fcbowing.

Augusta presbytery.
This body has recently been in ses
sion in our city, having met on Wednes-
day, the 7th inst., and adjourned on Sat-
urday. It is composed of ministers and
elders from thirty-nine churches in the
North-eastern and Eastern quarter of
Georgia, including some 25 or 30 counties.
There are fourother Presbyteries in Geor
gia, which, together with the Presbytery
of Florida, make up the Synod of Georgia.
In the Presbyterian form of Government,
church sessions make up Presbyteries.
Presbyteries make np Synods, and Sy
nods make np the General Assembly
all the Synods from Maryland to Mexico
forming the General- Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the South. This
latter body meets next month at St.
Louis. In all matters of discipline, an
appeal can be taken from each of these
four courts to the one next higher, the
decision of the General Assembly being
Augusta Presbytery, at its recent ses
sion, received reports from its various
churches, considered and discussed vari
ous topics of interest to the church, and
arranged for the supply of its vacant
churches and destitute field, by appoint-
Rev. R. W. Milner as Evangelist, or
Home Missionary, for the Presbytery.
Measures were also initiated for mission
ary work among the colored population.
During the meeting, night service was
held in the Presbyterian church, and the
pulpits of four of onr churches (the Pres-
jyterian, Baptist, first and second Meth
odist) were filled by ministers of the
Presbytery on the Sabbath. Rev. Hen
ry Newton was Moderator of the body,
and Rev. Dr. Irvine and Col. J. A. Bil
lups were chosen as Commissioners to
the General Assembly.
An interesting and appropriate close
of the meeting was a missionary sermon
on Sabbath afternoon by Rev. L. H. Wil
son of Clarkesville, a son of Missionary
parents and born in India. The sermon
was very impressive and all the more so
because by a minister bom in Asia—
whose mother was once a member of the
Athens Presbyterian Church.
The moetings of Presbytery were inter
esting and it is hoped that the abundant
and excellent preaching by the visiting
members will yield great and permanent
results among our people. L.
The Augusta, Me., Journal, of Friday,
19th of March, tell this marvellous tale :
We have an event to chronicle that would
scarcely be believed were it not authori
tatively vouched for by competent wit
nesses, parties whose testimony can not
well be disputed or set aside. A young
man in the town of Vassalboro’, in this
county, was suffering in the last stages of
consumption, the disease which had in
sidiously and stealthily brought him to
the verge of the grave. For several
weeks he had been entirely prostrate and
unable to speak, even to articulate a syU
lable. Ho became so oppressed for
breath that he compelled his attendants
to raise the windows in his room, put out
the fires, and resort to every means to
obtain fresh air. One day last week
Thursday, we understand—the young
man died. Friendly hands prepared the
poor emaciated body for the burial; but
just as the attending friends were arrang
ing the remains for the casket, there ap
peared unmistakable evidences of return
ing life, in what seemed to them an inan
imate mass of clay. The ear of an attend
ant was bent down to the side of the dead
man, and it was discovered that the heart
had begun again its slow and measured
palpitations, the pulse throbbed, and the
young man arose from the death shrouds,
opened his mouth and spoke in clear and
distinct words to those who stood nps
palled in the death chamber. There was
no huskiness in his voice; he appeared
lively and active, said he felt not the
slightest pain, but, to use his own

A Capital Plea.
Blobbs had beqn drinking a little prob
ably, at ‘Lincoln’s Inn” or ‘Temple Bar,’

but he was sober enough to say
thing, and he said it. He said:
‘Gentlemen, when I practiced law I
made the best plea in behalf of a client
that ever was made in any Court House
in this State, and it was this : When my
case was called I arose and said : May
please your Honor, the Constitution
of the United States and the Constitu
tion of the State of Georgia both guaran
tee a hearing to every citizen charged
with an offence against the laws. Now,
may it please yonr Honor, my client is as
deaf as a post, and, I most respectfully
submit, cannot have a hearing! I, there
fore, ask to have the case against him
dismissed. And would you believe it,
gentlemen, added Blobbs, ‘the darned
fool of a Judge overruled that plea? Well,
he did!’
And those who saw the joke, after pon
dering over it, smiled gently and went
their several ways.

John Mitcbel’s Funeral.
[Boston Post.]
The English papers bring the full de
tails of the funeral of John Mitchel. As
already reported, the remains were re
moved from Dromalane, the residence
the brother-in-law of the deceas
ed and deposited beside those of his
father, in the small cemetery set apart at
Newry for interment of members of the
Reformed, or, as they are termed, Unita
rian Presbyterians in that locality. With
in a few feet of his grave Btand the re
mains of the small church where his fath
er for many years addressed his congre
gations, and it is a coincidence that
Mitchel’s funeral oration should have
been preached by a clergyman who, fifty
years ago, was received into holy orders
by Rev. Mr. Mitchel, and who himself
baptized the deceased five- and-thirty years
since. Strange, too, that Mitchel, after
a quarter of a century’s exile, should re
turn to die within sight of the house
where he was born, in the room that be
held his boyhood studies. All business
in Newry was suspended. The mills
stopped work. The vessels at the quays
had their flags hoisted at half-mast.
There could have been scarcely less than
10,000 persons, many of whom were wo
men, lining the streets, windows and
doorways of the thoroughfares by which
the mournful cortege proceeded. The
body was inclosed in a plain, polished
oak coffin, and proceeding the hearse six
teen Roman Catholic clergymen walked
two abreast; after them came several
Presbyterian clergymen and residents of
the town and neighborhood, then the
trades marching four deep and finally
some carriages. The funeral was most
impressive by its rigid solemnity.
language, ‘I.feel just as well as I Sver did.’
At his request the neighbors were all
called in, who crowded the house for
hours, declaring t the recovery of the
man was equal to any miracle recorded in
the Scriptures. lie told this startled as
semblage of his friends and neighbors
that, as he died, all things seemed dark
but only for an instant; his eyes sudden
ly opened to a new world, the real Heav
en, which had been so many times in his
thoughts, and had given him so much
comfort in his last weeks of pain and
sorrow. He stood upon an eminence
which overlooked a vast and beautiful
plain; the magnificent plain stretched
farther than his enlarged vision could
penetrate, and he described in language
which, to his mortal auditors, seemed
extravagant in the extreme. But the re
vivified life of the young man was not to
continue long. Before night he again re
signed himself to death. The body was
kept a reasonable length of time, and bu
ried on Sunday last, the funeral bein,
largely attended. We have written out
the particulars of this remarkable event
substantially as we have heard them, als
lowing onr intelligent readers the privis
lege of drawing their own inference.”
A Very Tout; Boy Finds an Affinity
in a Very Vonng Girl.
[Sunday Morcury.]
The youngest couple ever married in
Yonkers were Master Matthew Mansfield
and Miss Fanny Gale, who wore play
mates, and attended Public school No. 2.
The former is but fifteen years of age,
and the latter has seen only fourteen
summers. Besides being remarkable for
the extreme youth of the husband and
wife, the marriage is somewhat peculiar
on account of the manner in which it is
alleged to have been brought about. It
is said that the family of the girl, being
strong Spiritualists and believers in “af
finities,” thought the boy and girl exact
ly suited to each other, and hastened the
marriage without the knowledge of the
boy’s parents. Yesterday afternoon a
Mercury reporter visited tbe residence
of Mr. W. D. Mansfield, father of the
young husband. Mr. Mansfield said he
was sorry to have the matter get into
print, but that he would call on Matthew’s
mother, as she could tell the story better
than he could. In response to his call, a
middle-aged lady made her apperance,
and, with tears in her eyes, gave the fol
lowing narrative:
This marriage of my son has almost
killed me. It seems sometimes as if I
would go crazy. My heart is broken to
have my son duped by a family of Spirit
ualists. We are church people, and be
lieve in religion. Matthew was always a
good boy until he began to visit Mr.
Gale's house. Fanny’s mother did all
she could to further the intimacy between
her girl and my Matthew. A few even
ings ago, without the knowledge of eith
er my husband or myself, Mr. Gale gave
Matthew a $5 bill, and told him to take
Fanny to the residence of Rev. Mr.
Mudge, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, and marry her. An older sister
accompanied the young people to the
preacher’s and witnessed the ceremony.
After the ceremony Matthew and Fanny
went to her house, but Matthew dicNiot
stay there. He came home and told that
ho was married. I could not believe
him for I thought ho was joking. He
said I could go up to Fanny’s house and
see the certificate which I did.’
The parents are taking legal advice,
with a view to proving the marriage ille
gal; but it is doubtful if they can nullify
the union.
Matthew's parents rofuse to allow their
son to live with Fanny, and ho has been
sent away from Yonkers—some say to a
youths’ school in New Jersey. Fanny is
living with her parents, but it is said
that the Mansfields are to be charged
with her board. Her parents are poor,
but his are in comfortable circumstances.
The affair has caused a world of gossip
in Yonkers. Many of the citizens sever-
ly censure the Rev. Mr. Mudge for marry
ing so young a couple without the con
sent of the parents of both contracting
parties.
Faithful Unto Death.—At Aylmer,
UsTuidA, a few days ago, an act was pern
formed by a girl seventeen years old
which was as heroic as its result was
mournful. Her little brother, who was
left in her care during the absence of
their mother, fell through the ice into a
deep creek, near the shore of which he
was playing. She plunged in after him,
and getting him to the surface, thrust
Mm by mam strength into a position of
gaiety, although by so doing she knew
that she was teeing her own only chance
of escape. When his hands had grasped
Biruithinff on the bank by which he could
draw himself out, she calmly bade him
brace his feet against her and clamber

be punctual; the way to preserve iJLis
not to use it much. Settle often; have

ances are deceitful, perhaps assumed for
the purpose of abating credit Beware
of gaudy exteriors; rogues usually dress

any one, who carries but little on bis

pay quickly, if there be any virtue in the
law. Whenever you meet a man fond of
argument you will meet one profoundly
ignorant of the operation of the human
heart. Mind your own affairs. Let all
errors you see in other management
suggest correctness in your own.

Kellogg’s Message.
New Orleans, April 15.—Kellogg’s
message to the Legislature is elaborate.
The following are some of the principal
points:
The occasion of this extraordinary ses
sion marks a new, and I trust better, era
in the history of onr State. The history
of Louisiana since its incorporation into the
Union, as summarized in the messages of
a succession of Governors, from Govern
or Claiborne to recent times, has been
unhappily prolific of race antagonism
and sectional jealousies and disorders.
Though second to no State in the naturs
al advantages of climate, soil and pro
ducts, it has fallen far behind other less
favored States in the development of its
resources and in the cultivation of that
homogenity of feeling and interest, with
out which no community can be perma
nently prosperous.
The cause of this lack of progress and
unity in the past have been as varied as
the Uls that have resulted. Some are be
yond the pale of legislation. They can
only be remedied by the action of time
in removing present prejudices and eras
ing the memory of past traditions. Oth
ers are the result of the peculiar charac

the prevailing diversities of race, religion
and language. Others again (and these
by no means the least considerable) have
sprung from the improvident and op
pressive Legialatures of late years, includ
ing that of 1865 and 1867, ’which have
managed to subordinate the material in
terests of the State to the enforcement of
partisan purposes and the pecuniary ag
grandizement of individuals. It would
serve no good purpose to review in de
tail the events of our recent history.
The unfortunate past, with whatever
mistakes and wrongs may have been com
mitted on either side, is before you. The
consequence of these mistakes and
wrongs, more eloquent than any language
I could nse, are also before you. It is
your privilege to correct, remedy or at
least alleviate them, and, more impor
tant still, to offer guarantees that such
events shall not again occur. After a
political contest, the length and bitter
ness of which has been unparalleled, a
policy has at least been adopted which I
think should have been tried at first, and
which I trust will afford an immediate
and satisfactory solution of the difficul
ties that have beset us for years and en
tailed misfortune and distress upon the
people.
It is a hopeful sign, in my opinion,
when, as now, citizens cf all political par
ties seen inclined to take the manage
ment of this affair into their own bands,
and, sinking party aims, unite to advance
the general good regarding the State
revenues and their collection and dis
bursement.
The Governor expressed the opinion
that the present system is too cumber
some and expensive and unjust and
should be radically changed. The Gov
emer then details' the changes desired
and gives a resume of the State finances,
which show a reduction in the State debt
of $3,065,926 since 1873.
The Governor vetoed the new city
charter bill of New Orleans, stating that
he did so at the request of a committee
of t he Merchants’ Exchange and Cham
her of Commerce, who were preparing
city measures themselves. He also ve
toed an act legalizing a large amount of
indebtedness said to be due the State by
charitable institutions; also, an act author
ing the purchase of Point Coupe, and
to issue bonds, on the ground that such
an act would encourage extravagance and
increase the parish debt; t'lso, an act de
priving the Democratic city sheriff of his
fees, on the ground that reductions made

were excessive and would be a public in

Gen. Gordon for Vico President.
We clip the following extract from
the Atlanta Herald, account of an inter
view with Gen. Gordon:
Reporter—“Gen. Gordon I have seen
your name mentioned daily almost for
the past six months in connection with
the Vice-presidency. Will you allow
the use of your name in that connec
tion?”
Gen. G.—“I will not, under any set
of circumstances. Even if I were nomi
nated I should withdraw my name. My
reasons for this statement, to-day made
public for the first time, are that I be
lieve that a Southern man on the ticket
would weaken it And as much as per
sonal ambition might tempt me to yield
to the partial suggestions of my friends,
I would not, for all the honors in the
gift of the American people, feel that I
had been the means of driving one man
from the support ot that ticket on whose
success depends the future peace and
prosperity of my country. I have but
one object—that is the re-establishment
of harmony, of good will, and of good
government To this end all things else
shall be secondary. I have had letters
from committees, from friends and from
sympathisers, asking me to allow the use
of my name in this connection. I now give
them through you, my authorized and
unalterable answer. We occupy to-day
very much the position assigned in the
East, after the crusades, Richmond Geur
de Leon. For nearly one hundred years
afterwards, when a horse would shy
round a bush, the rider would ask if he
saw a Richard; and mothers frightened
their babes into quiet by telling them
Richard was coming. Just so these
Radicals are attempting to frighten the
North by constantly harrowing them with
a rebel’s ghost. This will not have its
effect long with people of sense in any
section, however. Yet so powerful is
this feeling at present that no Southern
man who has his country’s good at heart
will allow himself placed in any position
calculated to keep alive these hurtful
passions

Foker with Navy Revolver
Accompaniment.
An incident occurred on a recent trip
which I made over the Union Pacific
which may be of interest to your readers,
as it was at one time of uncommon inter
est to me. We were rolling along be
tween Salt Lake and Omaha when I made
my way into a smoking car to enjey a
cigar. I noticed a group gathered in the
center of the car, and crowding my way
up found two men gambling. One was
a well-dressed man, but bearing the gen
eral appearance of a blackleg ; the other
was a veritable miner, just as he came
from the mountains, with long, grizzly
beard, rough, coarse and dirty clothes,
but with lots of gold. The play was for
quite large stakes, and I heard whispers
that the gambler was about to fleece the
miner, and much sympathy was manifes
ted for him.
The game—draw-poker—still went on,
with hardly a word spoken by the play
ers, till finally, when a largo sum was on
the board, the gambler being called to
show his hand, threw down three aces
and two queens, and reached for the
money, the miner stretched over and held
his hand and laid down two aces, show
ing, of course, five ace3 in the pack. He
then reached back and drew a large navy
revolver, cocked it, placed the muzzle di
rectly between the eyes of the gambler,
still bolding his hand. Not a word was
spoken, but each looked steadily into
the eyes of other. Soon the hand began
to quietly move from the money, the
form of the gambler to draw back, and
still the revolver followed. He stepped
into the aisle, and here the scene became
so uninteresting to me and several others
present that we dropped under the seats.
The gambler slowly backed toward the
door, with the revolver following till the
door was reached, and he passed out
The miner coolly let down the hammer
of his revolver, replaced it in his pocket,
swept the money from the board into
his pouch, quietly lighted his pipe and
settled back in his seat as if nothing-had
happened. The strangest part of the
whole business was that not a word was
spoken from the time the gambler laid
bis three aces on the board till he passed
out of the car door.

parently ceased to exiet throughout a

The daily dispatches tell an unvarying
story of mob violence, outrage and mur
der. Mobs of foreign miners march from
town to town, starting as squads, swell
ing into small armies, and melting away
when their mission of terrorism is done,
and a few hundred more men have thrown
down the pick and the barrow and ceased
to earn an honest living. The trade
unions of the East are sending great
quantities of provisions into the mining
districts, wasting in this way the funds
which might, if invested in co-operative
industry, make these men their own mas
ters, the owners or part proprietors of
their mines, earning both wages and pro
fits, and livining peace, order and morali
ty. Instead of this, strike follows strike;
riot succeeds riot; and murder presses
fast upon murder. A reckless disregard
for human life and property shows itself,
not only in cases of mob violence (when
life is always held cheap), but throughout
the community. It is a word jjand a
blow, or a word and a ballet
On Monday two men living next door
to each other, in a small mining settle
ment near Pittston, quarraled over the
feasibility of a strike, and one of them
ended the dispute by blowing the other’s
brains out. The murderer has not been
arrested, and will not be. No Sheriff
dares seize him; no jury would venture to
convict him; no Jndge could safely sen
tence him in that mob-ridden country.
Such immunityj^breeds crime. Cases
from highway robbery down to petty
larceny mark every day. A man is stop
ped on the main street of a town and rob
bed of his watch and money. Another,
treated in the same way, tries to resist,
and is beaten over the head with a blud
geon, and thrown senseless down a deep
ravine. A little girl, sent to buy a pint
of milk, is waylaid by two^hulking brutes,
who steal the nickel she caries in her
hand. A man’owne^anything eatable or
wearable“only by the grace of thieves.
When they want it they will take it, and
he can whistle for redress.
The strike seems to be sporadic. It
breaks out, now here,*'now*ithere. The
mine owners seek to reduce wages twen
ty per cent, below the basis of 1874, in
consequence of the decline in the price
of coal, and the 'men^wish to advance
them ten per cent, above that basis. In
some sections the masters have gained
their point. In others, the miners still
hold out. There are£signs now that the
strike will become general. Emissaries
have been sent'among the thirty thou
sand men still at work, and are actively
stirring np disaffection. The future
looks more gloomy than the present.
Govenor Hartranft has issued a proclamar
tion, which, of course, does no good, and
threatens to send troops, who may do
good. He occupies an unpleasantly peril
ous place, and mast show courage and
ability to satisfactorily meet this grave re
sponsibility.
The coal owners are largely responsible
for this state of things. For a series of
years theyjhave treated their men like
machines, and have shown not the slight
est interest in their welfare, have spent
no cent of their great gains in bettering
the condition of their work-people, have
fomented strikes and formed lock-outs
for the sako of gambling in coal in New
York and Philadelphia, and have scorned
the example set them by the English in
dustrial partnerships between masters
and men—an example which, if followed,
would put an end to the present difficulty
and prevent a repetition of it hereafter.

A Brief Interview with
Fonng.
[Salt lake Correspondent of the Chicago Times.]
Being a stranger in a strange Mormon
land, the Times correspondent thought
he might learn a thing or two by calling
on the head of the church, and, besides,
he thought a formal visit, at least, was
due that dignitary. A bald-headed man,
with a bay window abdomen, and a goose
quill behind his left ear, with a Chester-
fieldian bow, took the correspondent’s
card to “President” Young. While won
dering whether I would be tendered the
freedom of the harem, Brigham Young
made his appearance.
The “seer’ is about 5 feet 10 inches in
height, weighs probably 180 pounds,
has gray hair, gray-blue eyes, ruddy com
plexion, full, round face, with side whis
kers, and slightly resembles poor Una
cl* Horace Greely. He looks care-worn
and troubled and plainly shows signs of
bodily failing as he totters along with
the assistance of a cane, bending beneath
the weight of seventy-threo years.
A SHORT INTERVIEW.
The “president” seemed not to be in
the best humor. Aside from his numer
ous family matters, which had not been
running very smoothly of late, his mind
was further troubled by the presentation
this morning of the order of court de
manding the payment of that alimony
money due Ann Eliza Young—his fif
teenth and last concubine. He led off in
a business like manner, saying:
“The Times is a paper I do not caro
to subscribe to, or advise my friends to
patronize.”
Cor.—You mistake me—I am not an
agent for the Times.
Brigham Young—Oh, yon aro a cor
respondent
Cor.—Yes, sir.
. -^he Prophet—Then you wish to inter
view me ?
Cor. Not exactly. I merely called
for the purpose of talking with you about
Utah matters generally, and more par
ticularly the recent changes that have
taken place.
Brigham (laughing heartily)—Oh, ves !
You just want to get me to say some
thing, so that you can put me in your pa
per. 1
Cor. Not if you do not wish your re
marks published.
The president—Well, you can tell your
readers that I believe in everything that
is good, and that all people should be
good, one to another.
Cor—I am with you on that point,
president. But the removal of Chief
Justice McKean is considered

about that now. There are several

a few of us understand.
Cor—And that is why I wish to talk
with you about the matter.
The President—Well, you can put in
your paper that I will be 74 years old on
the first day of June—if I live that long.

New Orleans, April 11.—A special dis
patch from Gen. Pope to Gen. Sheridan,
just received, has the following report
from Col. Neill, commanding at Cheyen
ne agency, Indian Territory:
At 1 p. m., April 6, a hostile Cheyenne
prisoner was being ironed, when he jump
ed and ran from the guard. He was im
mediately fired on, and the shots were
returned from the hostile Cheyenne
camp, when the whole of the men occu
pied a commanding sand hill across the
river. Capt. Rafferty’s company of cav»
airy followed them, and the Indians open-
ed fire with a number of rifles which they
had concealed in the sand hill. We im
mediately attacked them. I arrived on
the ground and fought them from 2 p.m.
till dark, with three companies of cavalry
one of the sixth and two of the tenth inn
fantry, and a Gatling gun. The Indians
held their position all night. We char
ged their strongly entrenched position
three times. Once, when mounted, we
had to dismount and charge on foot, and
here I had a great many wounded. I
discovered at daybreak upon opening fire
that during night the Indians had left
I have ordered two companies of cavalry
to pursue and attack. We have got three
dead Indians, and suppose more are kill
ed and wounded. I had sixteen of our
men wounded, four severely, and four
horses killed and several wounded. I
have the thirty-two hostile Cheyenne
prisoners safe in the gnard-hoose. I am
afraid the hostile Indians who have gone
West will make a junction with the thir
ty-seven who are on the Canadian fron
tier near Antelope hills.” Gen. Pope
telegraphs Gen. Sheridan that twelve
companies of cavalry and as many in
fantry companies as can be used have
been in motion against these Tmlima
from all directions, and as the Indians are
nearly destitute, having neither horses
nor food, and very little ammunition, it
seems unlikely they can get away.
