The Hmitlmvn Baptist Convention, which has
Just closed its Beamon in Macon, was distin
guished for its harmony and unanimity of senti
ment; for tho ability Of its discussions and its
manifestations of brotherly regard; for the
prayerful spirit that prevailed and for the strong
desire exhibited to glorify God and spread the
Redeemer's Kingdom. Men from all parts of
the South mot and prayed together most fervently;
discussed measured for spreading tho Gospel,
with some little differences of opinion, hut wit.li
singular Unanimity of spirit; and, for four days,
otelmiiged views and sentiments without tho ut
terance of a word to mar tho universal good
feeling or destroy the pleasantness that prevailed.
Thn proceedings were characterised by order,
dignity, courtesy, brotherly kindness mid intul-
leotual ability, and tilade a good and lasting im
pression upon the minds of the community, It
i# but Justice to say that this, in a large measure,
is alto to tho excellence and ability of tlio pre

Ilia dignity and decorum which attaches to a
w'oll-COuduclcd body.
The intellectual strength and ministerial talent
of this Baptist Convention was, perhaps, never
surpassed by any previous one; and all the
prominent members took part in tho discussions.

was tho distinguished Dr. Armitugo, of New
York; tho eminent 1ml dignified Dr. Jeter, of
Richmond; tho learimd Crawford and Broadus;
tho commanding Boyce; the eloquent and bril
liant Curry; the accomplished Brantly; and
among many other able men were Manly, Wil
liams, Tucker, Winkler, Poindexter, Taylor,
Sumner, DeVotic, Graves, McIntosh, Reynolds,
Henderson, Burrows, and Dr. Wmj F. Broaddns.
All these and many others (ysc\isHod impor

ability that excited admiration in ttye minds of
most intelligent visitors.*| f
•The preaching on Sabbath was universally
nptJnmlHd for its excellence, and for the gospel
spirit which pervaded the Mormons—Doctors
Fuller, BroivdduR, Burrows, Armitage, WIHfams,
Burns, Henderson and Pentecost, all exciting
the highest oommendation.
Tho Convention was composed of about three
hundred delegates, who snoko in high terms of
the kimlaosss and hospitality with which they
were, entertained by tho citizens of Macon, and
not a word of complaint has been hoard. Much
gratification was manifested nt the liberality and
ntorpriso of tho daily papers of the city, tho

There is a deal of pathetic and sublime talk on

\\ o urn led to such a reflection from reading
this account of the battle-field of Malvern Hill.
A correspondent writes.
" The eenietftry keener offered to art as our
guide, and after showing ito tho fort and its ad
jacent rifle pits, ho escorted us to a large field
on the northwest side of the. fort, and them a
most terribleseune presented itself. Thousands
of Confederate soldlss who had fallen in their
desperate and persistent attempt to take Fort
Harrison were buried by the Confederates where
thoy fell. Twenty acres or more have just boon
plowed ii]) by the owner of the field, and the
plowshare turned to tho surface all these skele
tons. Oyer the whole tract the bones are strewn
in profusion, and grinning skulls sture tho vis
itors in the faro on every side.
When the farmer was questioned, he said the
land was now the richest place he had, and in
justification of of his sacrilegious act. stated that
* lie didn’t put ’em there nohow.' Wo learned
afterward tlint the bones lmd been taken away

anything else, . n amo ono day while We were there
and attempted to bum some of the bones to pre
vent the wretches from carting them off. But a
long job they will have if they uUempt to burn
them all.
Yet thoso are not the only fields of Confeder
ate hones wo lmvo seen, nor tho first instance of
disrospeet for their dead that wo have witnessed.

Commissioner Weil. -Colonel Hamunl Weil,
Commissioner of firm-ton Immigration for thn
State of Goorgia, enlleu upon us yesterday.—
Tho Colonel is a Gel'man by birth, but has been
a citizen' of Georgia for the past nineteen years.
When elected to his present position by the
Georgia Legislature, he wah a practicing lawyer
in Atlauta, hut fin* throe years previous ho was
in the active pursuit of his profession, principal
ly in the Blue Ridge Circuit. He is a gentleman
of good address ami strong practical sense and
would judge him to ho very well qualified for
the position ho liar, been placed in,
He will remain in Macon another day, for the
purpose of enlarging his acquaintance with our
people, and interchanging views upon the sub
ject of his mission, and will then proceed to Sa
vannah for tho same purpose, and to make all
arrangements, at this time practicable, for tho
transportation of such immigrants as lie may he
able to secure. Wc understand that all tho Geor
gia railroads he has approached upon the subject
liavo offered to transport immigrants to the in
terior for one cent per mile.
The Colonel is anxious to be off on liis mission
and full of determination to do bis hut
much preliminary work is to bo accomplished
before he can hope for signal results. lie is yet
awaiting the return of the Governor to receive
his commission. Wo hope lie will be instru
mental in introducing to Georgia umny hurdy
and industrious farmers and mechanics, who
will each add to his iiulviduul success and pros
perity, to the solid aggregate of tho common
wealth.—Macon TdeyrapU.

hal tlo fields than that of Malvern Hill. And is
it not a shame that it is so? Tho Northern peo
ple have gathered together even the bones of

have not shown a corresponding zeal in collect

Every now and then, some associations of pious

tify this disgraceful state of thing, but we do not
often hear that their pleadings are substantially
rospouded to. Brethren, let us visit tlio graves
of our dead who sleep in trim enclosures, this
is a holy and wholesome duty. Bat our duty is

Wiiy Goi.d is Low.—The following analysis of
the causes which have led to the present low
price of gold, is from the New York Eoeninq
Post. They aro comprehensive and no doubt
correct:
1. The depreciation of the currency is meas
ured by the average inflation of prices and not
by the price of gold.
*2. The price of gold is and has for several years
been artificially depressed by a variety of local
causes; the whole financial policy of the Govern
ment, the large revenues which strengthen its
enera- cref |jj ( un q the disuse of gold as currency, less-
souing tho demand for it, being the principal
ones.

A Buffalonian Rides a Mule in Florida.—
Bring forth tho mule. Tho mule was brought.
He was a meek looking cuss—a perfect “ Uriah
Heop" of a mule, so far os “umbleness” was
concerned. At least, tlmt was the view I took of
him. Ho was saddled, and I mounted. For a
mile or two lie paced beautifully. I thought
thoso old monks I had read about knew what
they were doing when they traveled on mules.
I had a high respect l'or their judgment. Just
thon my mule showed symptoms—symptoms of
what I did not know. I found out. Dropping
his head between his legs, his hoels described ft
parabolic curve, or a diabolic curve, or somo
other infernal curve, in tho air, aud I got off and
sat on tho ground. I got off over lus head,
and I did it quick. I’m not so old but I can
get off’ an animal of that kind as quick as ft boy.
Then I looked at tho mule to sec if lie was hurt.
He didn’t appear to be. Then I inquired around
to see how I was. I reported an abmsion on
the left hip and a contusion on the lower end of
my back. Then I thought I would pronouuce a
leit-handod blessing ou that mule, aud on his
forefathers and foremothers before him, and on
his children after him. But I didu’t. I won
dered if ho would stand fire. If I had had a
pistol, I would have put tho muzzle to his ear
and tried him. Not that I was hostile towards
him, ]}!*t I was afraid somebody might take a
rido'on him some day »'»nd "ct hurt. But I had
no pistol, so that boncvoTont and sanguinary
idea was frustrated. Then I got up and shook
the dust off my feet, and brushed tho sand off
my trowsors, as a testimony against that place.
Then I led the mule carefully homo, and stated
my case to the livery man. But when I looked
that he should «fi’er to send for a doctor or ft
Samaritan, to do me up in ft rag, and pour olive
oil and champagne on my bruise, he only
laughed. Aud his man that ho had got to hold
laid down on ft bench and laughed—then he
rolled off tho bench and laughed—and I stood
holding the mule—then I laughed. It was ri
diculous. But I vo learned a little wisdom.—
Next time I ride on horseback it will bo a diffid
ent kind of beast from a bogus jackass. J. B.
S., in Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.

Consul to Bordeaux. —Mr. C. J. Clinch, who
married a daughter of Stophen Thomas, deceas
ed, of Atheus, and is a nephew of Mr. A. T.
Stewart, has been appointed Consul to Bordeaux
byGeu. Grant,
plete, and fa an Insiirution of a chamct
excite tho pride of Baptists, and admiration and
imitation all over the world.
A question which took up much time was the
duty of Baptists! to the colored people of the
South, and a set of resolutions were passed ex
pressive of tho sense of the Convention on that
point, aud declaring that it was the solemn duty
and desire of the Baptists to see that tho fraed-
mon have the gospel preached to them, and that
their ministers bo properly educated.
The subjects of Missions and Sunday Schools
received a great deal of attention, and much
money was contributed to further thoso great
schemes. The presence and adddresscs of Rev.
Mr. Phillips, a ’returned Missionary to Africa,
who had labored among the inhabitants of Cen
tral Africa lor fourteen years, awakened much
interest and disseminated much information.
The closing scene of the Convention was im
pressive and affecting; the President delivered
a feeliug and appropriate oddress; during the
the singing of a pathetic song, the delegates
extended to the President a parting hand—
many shedding tears; Rev. M. J. Wellborn
offered a solemn prayer to the throne of Grace;
and then Dr. Mell pronounced the Southern
Baptist Convention odjourned, sine die.’—Macon

Let us Help OniTAnotheu.—This little sen
tence should, bo written* on every heart nud
stamped on every memory. It should be the
golden rule practiced, not only in every house
hold, but throughout the world. By helping one
another wo not only remove thorns from the
pathway, and anxiety from the mind, but we
feel a sense of pleasure in our own hearts, know
ing wo arc doing a duty to a fellow-creature. A
helping hand, or an encouraging word, is no loss
to us, yet it is a benefit to others. Who has not
.felt the power of this little sentence? Who has
not needed the encouragement and aid of a kind
friend? How soothing, when perplexed with
some task that is mysterious and burthensome,
to feel a gentle hand and to hear a kind voice
whispering: “Do not feel discouraged; I see
your trouble, let me help you.” What strength
is inspired, what hope created, what sweet grati
tude to felt, and the great difficulty to dissolved
as dew beneath tho sunshine. Yos, let us help
ouo another by endeavoring to strengthen and
encourage the weak and lifting tho burden of
care from the weary and oppressed, that life
may glide smoothly on and tho fount of bitter
ness yield sweet waters; and He, whoso willing
lmnd is over ready to aid us, will reward our
humble endeavors, and every good deed will be
as “bread cast upon the waters to return after
many days,” if not to us, to those we love.
Accident and Lobs of Life in Webstsr County.
A correspondent at Dawson, under date of the
7th inst., writes the Macon Journal & Messenger
as follows: * :
“Mrs. Nowel, wife of Elisha No wel, liviug in
Webster county county, was accidentally killed
last Wednesday., Mr. Nowel was absont from
homo in search ofa horse that had strayed. —
His was attending a small grist mill, owned by
him, and had gone down under the 'mill rocks
for some purpose, whon her clothing was caught
and wound around the large shaft, extending
from tho water wfaiel to the mill rock and when
discovered by a jrtnall lad (the only person ex
cept herself at th* mill,) she was being whirled
violently around jrith every revolution of the
water wheel—uagffip to cry for assistance, or
make hor condition known. The boy, with sur
prising pjosenSt of mind for one*of his years, en
deavored to shuiioif the water and stop the mill,
aud partially succeeded; then ran to tho nearest
point for asatotanefcv When he returned with a

President and several "gentlemen respecting af- | 9 ur faj‘ e *8 u relations are m such critical condi-
fairs in the Island of Cuba, the President, it is 1 tion all around, and the members of the cabinet

EirmroND, May 13.—In the United States
Court to-day, in the proceedings against the
United States Marshal of this District, in 1801,
for funds turned over to the Confederate govern
ment, defendants plead United States statute of
limitations and tho plea was admitted by Chief
Justioc Chase, presiding, the United States
being non-suited. This is an important deci
sion, the plea put forward being tne sarao that
will be put in by all postmasters in the Southern
States at the breaking out of the war who made
same disposition of funds.
Honors to a Georgian.—The Atlanta Intelli
gencer says: On tho 1st inst., after a long and
hard fought contest for the debater’s medal in
the Washington Society of the University of
Virginia, this high and deserving reward of true
merit was conferred upon Mr. P. F. Smith, of
.Nowuan, Goorgia. Having entered the Univer
sity a total .stranger, and laboring under many
disadvantages, by his gentlomanly demeanor
and superior qualities as a debater, by his in
domitable energy and perseverance, he 1ms car
ried off an honor of which Ncwnan, his native
city, may well be proud.
aid, stated tbat the Spanish authorities had ac
ceded to every request made by our government
where the right of persons or property of Amer
ican citizens wero involved, and that the Span
ish authorities were very confident of their abil
ity to speedily put an end to the insurrection.
On the other hand he said tho government
had been informed through our agents now in
Cuba, that they woitld eventually succeed in
their revolution, although months might pass ere
they accomplished it. Tlio President, therefore,
according to present advices, is opposed to tak
ing any any steps looking to an interference ei
ther on one side or the other in the struggle now
going on in the islannd.—Correspondence Balti

Congressional Printing House.—Mr. A. M.
Clapp, Congressional Printer, has appointed
Mr. Ethel, of Indiana, foreman of the press
room, vice Mr. Oliver H. Reed; and Mr. George
E. Patten, delivery clerk, rice Mr. Fennell.—
Mr. Clapp is a thoroughly educated Printer, of
many years’ practical experience, and designs
making only such changes as seem to him neces
sary to perfect liis idea of an effective and eco
nomical book and job printing establishment.—
He considers himself responsible for die execu
tion of such work as Congress and the depart
ments require to bo done in a first-class manner,
and he is determined not only to keep himself
so familiar with every branch of the work as to
know when it is well done, but also to have in
his employment subordinates who - are entirely
au fait in the duties oi their respective stations.

Bishop Beckwith.—Wo clip the following
from the New Orleans Picayune, of Sunday
last:
We learn that tlio Bishop of Georgia has been
inviteiftjy tho Bishop of Louisiana to act in his
stead in the ordination to the priesthood of tho
Rev. J, N. Gitllalier, Deacon, now in charge of
Trinity, Dr. Beckwith’s for. er parish in this city,
anil that the latter has consented.
The ordination is to take place about the 23d
inst.
The presence of their former eloquent and be-
lovod pastor, clothed in the vestments of his
present high office, and for the purpose of con
ferring the priesly dignity upon his eloquent
and beloved successor,"\sill give a “ happy day
to Trinity.
The Cuban Fxpeditionr.—The United States
Marshal, United States District Attorney, and
other Federal officers were instructed by Secreta
ry Fish this morning to be vigilant with reference
to attempts making, or that may be made, to nt
out expeditions at this port in violation of tho
neutrality law's, ft is reported that there are
two or three vessels now lying in the East river
to which suspicion attaches and that these will
be subjected immediately to official inquiry.
Nothing really new has transpired smen my
last concerning* the expedition which loft ou
Tuesday, except the fact that the vessel’s name
is the Pent and not the Arago. The evening pa-
pers, as usual, teem with many sensational re
ports in cornieotiofn with the affair, but they aro
not to bo relied ripcrti.—NeW York Letter to the

Tho total eclipse flu the 7th of August next is
the only one that \Villbe visible in North Ameri
ca during tho presout ctontury. The oentw of
tho line of totality will pass through Springfield,
Illinois, and near Des Monte, Iowa. Both of
these stations as well as many others, will be oc
cupied by coast survey parties. Congress bos
appropriated $5,000 to defray the expense of ob
servations. Professor Winlock, director of Har
vard Observatory, is making arrangements for
viowing the eclipse, and noting its features at
Shelbyvillo, Ky. The observation will last be
tween two (Hid three minutes.
Found Dead.—Tlio Dalton Citizen of the Gth
says i “ We regret to learn that Mr. Allen Griffin,
an old citizen of Murray c#unty, aud a staunch,
unswerving Democrat, was found dead in the
woods on Sunday last. It to not known how he
came to his death, but is supposed to have re
sulted from a stroke Of app’oplexy. He left his
homo tho day previous to look for some cattle
that lmd strayed off and not coming homo,
search was made lor him and he was as above
stoted, looked in the cold embrace of aetith. ”
The U. S. Circuit Court at Richmond.—This
court is now in session, Chiet Justice Chaso pre
siding. The Baltimore Gazette, of the 4th instant,
says that in court the iron clad oath was dispens
ed with for the first time since the close ot the
war, and many old nud respectable citizens (for
the first time within the same period) appeared
in the jury box.
This is significant, and shows the difference
between the Chief Justice and Judge Under
wood.
Damages by the Flood in Alabama.—The
Alabama papers are filled with accounts of dam
ages by the recent flood in that State. Corn
and cotton, on bottom lands, roads, bridges,
railroads, etc., suffered severely. The Selma
and Meridian, and the Mobile and Ohio rail
roads were considerably damaged, travel being
suspended for sevoral days but all are right now
The Alabama river was very high and several
thousand acres of cotton and corn were destroy
ed by its overflow.
To Break Hens from Eatino Their Egos.—
Supply plenty of finely pounded oyter shells, or,
if these are not handy, provide bones; besides,
Bomk pcfrk soittp ctfko daily. Give at a time an
abundance of Vheat screenings or other gaiu,
and good, soft, secret neats. Allow no egg to
freeze, use artificial nest-eggs, and remove all
eggs daily. Hens learn this from finding broken
eggs.
A hopeful eon of B. tJggleston haring been
