A Pare well.
It la rare Indeed that a meeting call* forth such
lively Interest and profound feeling as that held yes
terday, by our citizens, at the call of tho Mayor, to
bid fhiewell to our kind friends from Moblloand New
Orleans. The hall was crowded by a concourse,
whoae beaming and moistened eyes and rapt at
tention bespoke in words more eloquent than those
of Dr. BcRirtN and Mayor Ward the city’s grati
tude to its benefactors.
It being known that these gentlemen would ac
cept no compensation for their services, the Mayor
bad provided, as a trivial token of our tbankfuluess,
a servlco of plate for each, upon which was inscribed
respectively the names or Dre. Redwood, Hamilton
and Cross. These were presented on the occasion.
In introducing our guests to the meeting, Dr.
ScaiYBN made the following remarks :
Mr. Chairman In the performance of the duty
assigned to them, your committee have the honor to
Introdaca to this meeting our esteemed friends, Dre.
Redwood and Hamilton, of Mobile, and Dr. Cross,
of New Orleans. Having just fulfilled their missions
of love and of mercy, they aro abont to take their leave
It will be your duty, Mr. Chairman, if it has not
been already performed, to express to the corporate
authorities of Mobile, to tbe “Can’t-get-Away-Club”
of the same city, and to the Howard Association of
New Orleans, onr appreciation of their benevolence
in sending pbyaioians of the highest character to the
relief of the sufferers, by yellow fever, in this city.—
It is ours to testify to these gentlemen our gratitude
for the efficient manner in which they have discharg
ed tbe duties assigned to them. As long as time en
dares, will the names of Redwood, of Hamilton and of
Cross, be associated with all that is noble, gallant,
and seltsacriflcing In the medical profession.
His Honor the Mayor then addressed them us fol
lows :
Gentlemen :—I have been instructed by the au
thorities of the city to retarn you their grateful ac
knowledgements, and as a feeble expression of their
thankfulness, to ask yon to accept this Plate. How,
fellow citizens, am’I to perform the task of expres
sing yonr thanks 7
“The eye miy weep, the heart may iwell,
Bat the poor tongue la vain euaye
A fitting note for them to raise."
I shall nse gentlemen, only the language of sober
ness and truth. Tho occasion which might tempt me
to indulge in the creations of fancy belong to other
and happier seasons ; a pestilence was upon us, it
had entered our houses and was desolating our city,
its home waa alike In the mansion of the rich and
the hovel of the poor; age, nor Infancy, nor beauty,
found from it reverence or pity; the altar of the
moat high God afforded no protection, for whilst
those who ministered there were engaged in pointing
outto the parting aonl the path to heaven, they were
summoned themBelves to lead tho way. That noble
hand of your own profession,of whom their city is *o
Justly proud, worn and exhausted by their labors, but
never abandoning for a moment the path of dnty,
though it led them amid opening graves, and though
one after another was called away, nntil their very
business seemed to bo to die, possessed not the phy
sical power to give the necessary medical aid to all
who required it.
“ You took the censor of Ore in your bauds, and
came forth to stand between tbe living and the dead,
and stay the plague which raged among the people.’’
Stricken by the disease, it was my misfortune not to
be able to welcome yon to our city, that duty devolv
ed upon another; its performance, and the perfor
mance of tbe labors oi an office involving at that
time ao much danger to his own life, must be to him
self a source of life-long consolation, and has com
manded for him the gratitude and affection of our
whole people. Your mission of love having been ac
complished, yon are about to return to those homes
which were abandoned for ns. Tho services which
you have rendered will never be forgotten while Sa
vannah exists, bat the names of Redwood, Cross and
Hamilton, with those of that noble baud ol nurse*
who have been for weeks past surrounded by pestil
ence and death, ministering to tbe strangers’ wants,
will hero be cherished and honored long, long after
" We and oars have rendered up our trust.
And men unborn shall tread upon our dust."
D«. Redwood, Cross and Hamilton, together
with Messrs.Tchnbr.Higley, and DbWolf, of the
“Can’t-Get-Away-Club.” and Mrs. Rolls and Miss
Kylby, experienced nurses, furnished by that Club*
took their departure yesterday evening, in tho cars
for Macon. They bear off with them tbe kindest
wishes and heartfelt thanks of every member of this
community.

Alls* MnUcnU’s Debut.
This young lady made her debut at tho Metropoli
tan Theatre last Monday night,—and achieved a tri
umph. Boat least say several of the New York
critics. The Time* says: " her reading from the
commencement was excellent, and her enunciation
tftmderfully clear and distinct for one unaccustomed
to declamation from tho stago. *** Her debut was
unequivocally a triumph.' At tho commencement
she displayed some nervousness, bat soon recovered
herself, and improved steadily to the end. Then
there was an ovation of several bushels of boqueta,
and Bhe waa called—as she had previously been call
ed—before tbe curtain to receive the congratulations
of the audience. Miss Makeah has not mistaken
her profession. She need but practice to becomo an
ornament to it.
In conclusion, (says the samo critic) we may add
for those who feel interested in such matters (and
who don’t 7) that Miss Makeah is a fully develoved,
beautiful woman. Sho haa an intelligent and expres
sive face, und armB aud shoulders which can’t be ex
celled even in Olympus.”
The Tribune is not so enthusiastic, still it ia favor
able and encouraging, as will be seen by tbe follow
ing :
A new aspirante tor Thespic honors, Miss Makeah,
(ot Georgia, we believe,) made her appearance last
night at the Metropolitan. The play was Ingomar, a
translation of Frederick Halm’s Son of the Wilder
ness—a charming production, and remarkably well
adapted tor exhibiting the talents of a debutante, os
the heroine appears in every scene, from first to lost.
Tho house was crowded, and when Miss Makeah
niado her appearance in the first scene, she was wel
comed with a warmth aud cordiality which showed
that the sympathy of tbe audience was with her. She
seemed but little embarrassed, and went through
with her part with more nerve than ia usual for a de
but. Her reading of Parthenia Evinced a careful
study of the part, but occasionally lacked spirit and
abandon. The more passionate passages were
rather tamely given—a defect easHy remedied, since
the usual tendency is to err on tho other side. There
was nothing approaching rant in Miss Makeah’s act
ing, and iu those Hcenes where Parthenia exercises
her fascination on the barbarian Ingomar, she was
simple, natural aud pleasing. She satisfied us best
in tho second act, in which, also, Mr. Marshall,
Ingomar, made the best impression. Miss Makeah
bos an agreeable face, is rather large in person, and
when the awkwardness consequent to a want of fa
miliarity witii stage business shall have been over
come, will make a good appearance in comedy.
We do not think sho would be likely to succeed so
well in tho great tragio roles. Her voice lacks depth
aud power tor the expression of passion, while in
subdued, playful passages it is sympathetic and
agreeable. Sue was called out at the end of the first
act, again at tbe end of tho second act, and at the
close oftho performance, when so many bouquets
were showered upon tho stage that both Mr. Mar
shall and the debutante had their arms toll, and were
embarrassed how to bear off tbe spoils. The latter
has every reason to bo satisfied with her reception,
which could not well have been more cordial. We
trust it will stimulate to deserve, by careful study
and devotion to her art, a continuance of public favor.
The Herald is by no means complimentary—per
haps because some of the other papers got the start
of that journal in prophetic praises.
The Mirror, ot the previous evening, has tho fol
lowing :
“ Miss Makeah," the debutante, who has been pro-
puffed ad nauseam, will this evening attempt the
part of " Parthenia,” supported by Mr. Wyseman
Marshall, an excellent actor, decidedly superior to
any who has yet appeared upon the boards of the
new theatre. In regard to Miss Makeah, whom we
have known for years, by two other names, wo will
only say in advance, that we wish her a complete
success; and if Bhe only lmlf justifies the extravagant
expectations which have been raised, in regard to
her personal beauty and dramatic powers, she will
pass for a theatrical prodigy. But ml this anto-puf-
fing, we fear, will prove a serious disadvantage on
the occasion of her " first appearance.” The public
will go to the theatre to-night, prepared to be daz
zled and delighted.
Thus much we have thought due to a native of our
city, on her first appcaranco upon the stage.

The late Dr. A. B. Brantley.
We publish the following extract in relation to
tho death of our lamented friend, Dr. A. B. Brantley,
late of Scarhoro, Scriven county, Ga., from a private
letter addressed to ns from the above place by a par

it is known, volunteered hiB services to the City
Council of Savannah, during the height of the epi
demic, and labored with great assiduity for a num
ber of weeks, and fell himself a victim to the scourge.
We believe in bolding out to the world such examples
as Wild man and Brantley, therefore we publish the
following:

For the Georgian.
Kail road Convention.
Americus, Oct. 12,1854.
Editors of the Savannah Georgian :
The Convention called by the South-Western Rail
road Company, for the purpose of consultation with
reference to the extension of the South-Western Road,
assembled this morning at the Court House, when
President Reynolds orgauized the convention, read
the resolutions of the Board of Directors, which orig
inated the meeting, and made an appropriate ad
dress. In conclusion lie stated that the Board wei
ready to receive such propositions or suggestions as
might be made by the several delegations present,
and as the Boatd was not full—tbe Savannah Direct
ors being absent—they would withhold their de
cision lor a few days, when they would make public
their determination, and possibly make a proposition
of their own.
Col. Cochran, as the organ of the Lumpkin aud
Eufauls delegations, presented a proposition to fur
nish in cash subscriptions and labor over six hun
dred thousand dollars for the extension of the road
from Americas by Lumpkin to Eufanla, aud ucconi*
panied the proposition with some very forcible re
marks.
CoL.Lawton, as the organ of the delegation from
Albany and the surrounding country, presented the
following proposition, viz:
In behalf of the citizens of Albany and the sur
rounding country, wo ask from the Board of Direct
ors of the South-western Railroad the following or
similar proposition, which, we believe, will be com
plied with, viz:
" The South-western Railroad Company will build
a branch road from some point on tbe South-western
Railroad, to be selected by the Company by the first
day of December next, to Albany ; provided that cit
izens shall furnish to the Company subscriptions suf
ficient to build tbo entire road in Bbares often miles,
and at the completion of each ten miles—which shall
be done os rapidly as possible—the stock for the cost
of tho ten miles shall be delivered to tho subscribers,
at which time subscriptious to tbe next ten miles
shall be made; and soon, until tbe road shall bo com
pleted to Albany. 1,
Messrs. Dean, Collins and Alexander submitted a
proposition to construct the road to Gilliunville, and
take two-thirds the cost in guaranteed 8 per cent,
stock, and one-third iu cash.
Col. Crawford, as the organ of tbo Calhoun and
Early county delegations, proposed to subscribe
$200,000 or $250,000, provided the road should bo
extended through both counties.
There being no other propositions, the meeting ad
journed. There was a large number of persons pre
sent, and perfect order and good feeling prevailed.
From all I can learn of the feeling and interests of
tbe Company, the liberal and favorable proposition
made by tbe delegation from Albany aud the sur
rounding country will bo adopted by tbe Company,
and probably a western branch may also be deter
mined upon. Tbe Albany proposition involves no
debt, responsibility, or risk to the Company. Tht
point of departure and the route are left to the Com
pany, and it may bo from Americus, or any point
below, which the Company may prefer. Tho entire
cost of each ten miles niUBt be secured before it iB
commenced by the Company, and the stock is not to
bo issued until tbo section is completed aud iu use.
I cannot doubt that such a proposition will be adopted.
The health of tills section of the State seems be
good. Hoping that tbe city of Savannah may soon
recover its usual good heath and prosperity,
I remain yours truly,

N MARLY ALL LOST I
New York, Oct. 11.
Thu ship Isilmnon arrived hero at an early hour
this morning, bringing tidings of a horrible catastro
phe to tho steamer A retie, and bringing about twen
ty of her imasengers picked up at sea.
Tho Labanoti reports that on the night oftho 27th,
duriug u dense tog, the Arctic came iu collision with
astoain propeller, bark-rigged, of iron, with black
hull, salmon colored bottom, and lead colored boats.
She is thought to Imvo been the steamer Charity,
from Montreal for Liverpool. Onwards of 200 per
sons were seen ou tho deck of the propeller imme
diately after the collision. The* Arctic was going at
the rato ol thirteen knots an hour.
Tho Arotlo commenced to render usslstauco but
soon discovered her own leak, which gained last,
soon extinguished the fires. The discovery of this
fact caused an indescribable panic among tfio passen-
S ur* and crow. The boats were rapidly launched and
lied with tho ere# and a few passengers, who suc
ceeded in fighting their woy on board, und drifted off
on tho open sea in a donao fog, all crowded (ooxcess,
with but little provisions or water.
Capt. Luce, with Mr. Douian.his mate, remained
on board to construct a raft, on which to endeavor to
suvu tho great body of tho nusseugoin, including wo-
men and children, who still remained ou tho ill-fated
steamer.
As Boon as tho raft was launched thore was a sud
den panic on board, aud numbers got ou tbo raft and
iu the sixth boat in tho greatest haste and conster
nation, and in three minutes tho Arctic sunk. All
iu the sixth boat were saved, but only one out of the
Hoveuty two on tho raft. It having more on it than
was possible for it to sustain, they were all cast into
thosoa.in tho presence of the fow survivors in the
boat.
At 5 1*. M., on tho 28th, the bark Huron, orst. An
drews, N. B., Capt. Wad, bound for Quobec, picked
up tbo boat, the last of the six that lett tho steamer,
and took thorn ou board.
Tho Huron fired rockets, liuug out lights, aud
keptahoru blowing during the night of the 28th,
but all hopes of falling in with tho remaining boats,
proved fruitless.
On tho evoning of the 29th the Huron spoke the
ship Lebanon, Capt. Story, bound to New York, and
transferred eighteen of her passengers, who reached
that city iu thn pilot boat Christian Bera.
Tho fate of tho propeller, which was thought to bo
greatly damaged, and the other five boats are not
certainly known. On tho moruiug of the 28th, the
Huron saw a aiugular looking craft, before falling in
with the bo&t, which it is thought might have been
{be propeller.
The list of saved taken to Quebec on the Huron
are as follows:
Luke McCarthy; Joseph Cornall, Richard Makau,
James Aly, the ship’s cooks; Thomas Conroy, James
Conuor, John Drury, Christian Moran, James Ward,
and Christopher Callaher, all firemen; Thomas Wil
son, assistant engineer; Robert Bryan, David Barry,
and Erastus Miller, all waiters.
Those that arrived in this port on tho Lebanon arc,
Edward Mahon, Thomas (Jarland, Patrick Casey,
Patrick Tobin, Dobbin, Carrigan. ail fire
men; Thomas Brcnan, assistant engineer; John Con
nolly, engineer’s steward; Thomas Stanson, officer’s
steward; James Canogan, porter; Michael McLaugh
lin, and the boy Peter McCabe, picKed up in the wa
ter at tho time of the aiukingof tho sixth boat.
The liebanon also brings the following passenger*

that was his superior when living, in those accom

On one occasion ho came up on tho night train
from Savannah, and stayed witii me a few hours, to
return by the four o'clock morning train. After
S lving mi a minute description of tho ravages or that
readful pestilence—for ho had every opportunity to
know, having at tho tirno over one liunared patients
—ho told me or an occurrence that gave him a great
deal of Joy. He was attending a youth—tbe son of
a poor Irish woman ; that son was ber only stay and

said the poor woman, " is there no hope at alitor

worst. She was bnrled in grief, and to words oould

Day before yesterday 1 called upon a friend who
was recovering from yellow fever. He lay in a dark
ened chamber, with a wet cloth on his forehead—the
fever had just left him, and he was comfortable and
cheerful. "Well,” said he, "I’ve passed the Rubicon
at last, nnd I'm glad of it—I was bound to settle
here, and now I can look forward with some certain
ty.” "Yes,” I replied, "but you aro not safe yet—
you must keep quiet—It is injurious even lo tnlk
much.” Seeing that lie was much disposed to talk,
I left him. fearing to do him an injury. "Call often,”
Raid ho, as 1 departed, "for I am very lonesome, and
my nurse won’t converse witii me—call and see me,
anyhow, if yon won’t talk with me.”
Yesterday, I went to see him again. I found him
cold, yellow, and stiff—the wall, bed, and flour be
spattered with the dreadful block vomit—and such a
smell in the room—pall! "Poor fellow,” ssid the
landlady, who, with tho nurse, was preparing to lay
him out, "the fever came back to him about 9 o'clock
—as soon as ho felt it, he seemed to givo up, for nuy«
ho, "send for mother, for mother, quick I” but it was
no use. his mother’s in St. Louis. He was soon out
of his head, and then he took me for his mother, and
called me mother all night. I've seen many deaths
from yellow fever, continued she, Imt it seems as if
cacli one is always more dreadful than the last—it's
enough to make acclimated people quit New Or

old, hearty and handsome, and was working Indus-

Statement of Mr. Ballam, Second Officer of
the Artie.
Nr.w York, Oct. II.—The following statement of
tho loss of the Artio is given by Mr. Balluiq, second
officer, who with other officers, and crew anil passen
gers, saved in two of tho first boats, reached the
shore at Broad Cove, and arrived at St. Johns on
Tuesday last:
On Wednesday, tho 27th, at noon, Capo Race,
bearing N. Y., 65 miles distant, while running iu a
thick fog, was struck on tho starboard bow, nbout
60 feet nuaft ol the cutwater, by an iron steamer,
which made threo large holes in the ship, two below,
the water, one of which was about five and a half feet
in length, nnd one and a half feet wide, letting tbe
whole cutwater aud stem of tho iron steamer clear
through the Artie’s aides.
Tho fog was so dense that tbe vessel could not be
seen a minute before the collision. The wheel was
put bard a starboard, and tho engine stopped, and
instantly backed at full Bpecd until clear of the other
steamer, which occupied a couple of minutea.
The propeller was believed to bo a French vessel,
and was sinking bow first. Capt. Luce immediately
gave orders to clear away the quarter boats, which
being done, Gomley, the chief officer, left the Artio
In ebargo of the starboard boat.
On lowering the port boat the captain exclaimed
"hoist up that boat again. Mr. Balbam,” and beck
oned me to go to him. Upon doing so ho ordered
me to go over to the steamer to ascertain, if possible,
wimt damage ho had done. I then found the holes
above mentioned.
Upon informing him of the facts he gave orders t*
get the sails up, und to try and get them around tho
bow to endeavor to Htop the leak, which was prompt
ly done, but was of no advantage whatever, so much
of the bow broken off from the other steamer pro
jecting that the sails could not be brought close to
the vessel’s side.
The carpenter was then lowered over tho vessel’
side, and pillows aud mattresses passed down to him
to try and force them in, but the leak was found to
be so far below the water line that they could not be
got in.
Every effort to stop tho leak having proved un
availing, Captain Luce tficu ordered that the ship’s
head be kept for land, whicli bore N. W. by W. By
this time wo had lost sight of tho chief officer’s boat
and the other Bteamer, which ure supposed to havo
sunk.
In about 30 minutes all the lower fires were out,
and 30 feet water iu tho ship fore anfl aft. By this
time the confusion among the passengers was very
great, hut they used all efforts to assist tho crew in
keeping the deck pumps going, and iu lightening the
■hip forward for tho purposo of endeavoring to get at
tho leak from the inside. It was, however, found to
be useless, and numbers of them were going into the
boats, which were still hanging to the davit*.
We had not been on our course more than five min
utes before we ran over a boat and crew belonging to
the other vessel, all of whom perished witii the ex
ception of ono who caught hold of a rope hanging
ovef the bow. Directly the boat was seen orders
were given to stop the engine, which the chief engiu
eer said could not be done as the ship was fast sink
ing.
Forty-five minutes after tho collision I came up
from the forebold and informed the Captain that the
water waa on a level with the lowerdeclt beams, and
that it was impossible to get at the leak. I then
asked him what he thought would bo tbe fate of the
ship, when he stated his belief that there was no
hopes of saving her. He the" told me to Bee to my
boats.
On going to the boats ou the port side, I found
them completely tilled with men, women and chil
dren, and no possibility of getting near them. I im
mediately went to the starboard side and ordered
two of the crew to lower the guard boat, and asked
the captain what were his intentions'( He said that
the ship’s fate should bo his. I then naked him if he
would not allow his son to go, he returned me an
swer that ho should share Ills fate.
It was discovered that there waa no hope of suving
tho Arctic, nnd the ludy, daughter and son of E. K.
Collins, with Hovornl ladies were put on board a boat,
and in the act of lowering it one of the tackles gave
way, and all except one lady, who clung to a sailor,
who held fast to the boat, were precipitated into the
sea and lost.
I then jumped into a boat, nnd was ordered by
Captain Luce to cut tho tackle falls, and drop under
tbe stern. I did ho, and at the same time about 20
persons jumped overboard, of whom 17 or 18 wore
picked up. We fell in with another boat which had
been lowered from the other Bide, and lightened her
of a part of her complement Jleaving 19,iii her and"
in my boat.
The last sight I had of the ship her guards were
level with tho water, and the surfuce of the sea was
Btrewu with human beings who jumped overboard, to
whom it was Impossible to render any assistance, and
we soon lost sight of all as tho tog continued very
dense.

HU last words were full of consolation to hi* friends
“ Isird! Into thy bauds I commit my spirit—God Is good
and just, sod I shall soon bo at real.” He felt, and let
us fuel, that this world “Is notour rest." Decay, and
cliunge. and loss are going on Incessantly within us, and In
all things around us. Time's corrupting Ougsrs aie always
busy, and “ passing away" is written upon all earthly
things. With alTscting and striking comparisons do the
Scriptures speak of our life. With hardly a figure they
liken it to the most evanesceut of things: to a dream, a
sloop, a vapor, to (he withering grass, and the fading flow-

who has any just sense of the uature and purposes of this
life, nud who has llveu, and is still living, for their fulfil
nient, Is there any occasion for sadness at all. but of serene
satisfaction snd holy joy. If he lost any thing by it of per
manent value it would be different, but he cap lay hia fin
ger upon no such loss. A good man knows that this world
not his rest, but only a short stage of a vast but most
interesting journey. As he goes on he sees what he can,
enjoys what he can, improves all opportunities, and gathers
up a large, varied, and invaluablo experience. Every
step in gain—nothing but gain—aud gain too which is con
stantly accumulating. As au illustration: lake one whose
mortallife is complot»-.who has lived out his threescore
years and ten—for it is evident that If death roba us of any
thing of real value, he will lose the most who has the most
to lose—tako then the man who has tho longest life, the
soundest body, the soundest mind, and the soundest heart—
and what does he lose of them all by the event of death T
He does not even lose time ;for what is time to a beiug
whoso lifo has no limit, who when lie eutsred upon life en
tered upon eternity 7 Apart from its consequences and its
fruits it Is a mere name, an aocident and condition of exist
ence. His life passes not away into nothingness, but into
extension and growth—nut a moment ia lost, it is part and
parcel of tbe mau—lie retains all tbo years whieh God haa
given him—he lias the experience of Infancy, of child
hood, of manhood, and of old age ; and as the suppo
sition of a perfect life requires, he has shared all its rela
tions, has fulfilled all the purposes of Ills present condition,
and is now prepared to lire on in other spheres, for the high
er development of character. And now suppose, for this Is
the more common circumstance, that but few reach the ex
treme limit appointed to mortal life, yet life is not to be mea
sured by years, but by usefulness—“wisdom is grey hairs,
and an unspotted life Is old age.” Death, whether it come
la the dawn of life or la Its prime, cm a never tie untimely to
him who has lived to good purpose.
But there are. you say, heavy losses in this world—the
long of health, the loss of property, and the logs of friends.
Let uslook at them all, for they read us solemn lessons on
the mission of life. I am not disposed to uoderrate them,
nor to regard them with any affectation of indifference ; nor
with the faith of Christianity am 1 afraid to look at them
calmly, as they are.
Tbo two first of these looses are not always to bs avoided,
with all our care, by the highest wisdom, or the highest good
ness, and If they were irreparable or had not an equivalent!
and more than an equivalent, it would be a reason for great
permanent dismay. Aa regards “the ills which flesh is heir
some of them we inherit, some come from imprudence,
and some from unforsecn circumstances—they a is evils.—
Let us admit it. It is no small evil to have the body rack
ed with pain, disfigured by loathsomo disease, its energies
crippled, its senses the seat ot keen misery instead of exqui
site enjoyment. But sickness teaches Heavenly lessons
of caution from experience : warns ue that health, no
more than any other blessing, is to be had and kept with
out any care or exertion of our own ; that every violation of
a physical law ban its penalty ; that we cannot be guilty of
imprudencles, or rush Into mad excesses, without smarting
for it, without fiuding, sooner or later, that the end of that
mirth is heaviness. This is loss, great loss of happiness ;
but then it Is self-chosen, and if from experiencing It, or
witnessing It, we are saved from linking to a isvel with tho
brute, and even lower than a brute can go; If It Is ouo of
tho indispensable qualifications for the highest enjoymsnta
of sense, of intellect, and tbe heart, It is an occasion of un
speakable good. It gives us by contrast, a perfect appre
ciation of physical happiness whtnh uninterrupted health
might not so perfectly understand. Then It teaches to us
by experience, and to others by example, many a touching
and beautiful lesson of patience, or self-sacrifice, or forti
tude, of sweet resignation, and of perfect faith, which ws
would not willingly lose. Sickness, not less than health, bt
blessed school. It culls out the warmest sympathy and
the iutensest lovo, and crushes that hard and cold selfish
ness which is the greatest curse of society. Around tha
bedside of the sufferer come hosts of friends, with unsluni-
beriug eyelids and untiring affection. Then is proved the
friendship which sticketh closer than a brother, and tho
love which is stronger than death, and which many waters
cannot drown. Is there no compensation hero 7 Is it not
good for us, and for all, that disease and pain should tie
made a condition of some of ths highest virtues and the
richest Instruction ?—besides, “this is not our rest.” W§
shall not always carry about with us a mortal body which
the changes of the atmosphere will affect, wbioh a little
damp, or a little cold, or a little heat, the pestilence which
walketh in darkness, or tbe destruction which wastetb at
noonday ” ran at any time prostrate. We shslt not al
ways have a diseased and crippled frame to imped our move
ments, and fetter our minds, and battle our exertions; we
shall put it off, and "be clothed upon.” says the Apostle,
-with a glorious body,” whieh pain cannot touch, into
which diseaso cannot enter, which can experience neither
sickness nor death, but perfect and perpetual health ; for
though our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed
e have a house not made with hands, eternal In tbo Heav
ens.” This is the body’s resting place, but not ours,
“our rest,” says the Christian," ia in Heaven.”
nn to consider another earthly loss, the loss of
property ; and 1 am too sensible of the charaeter of this
community, and of the audience whom I address, to speak
in any terms but those of respect of the importance of
trade snd commerce, and one of thsir results, the acquisi
tion of wealth ; for this would be to speak foolishly of all
those industrial pursuits which uphold the civilisation of
tbe world. It is no rebuke to any man that he is constant
ly engaged in making money if he ii at the same time
faithful to the great purpose of life. W* ought to rejoice to
see individuals and communities growing rich, (no matter
how rich.) whose wealth is always (lowing into nseful and
beneficial channels It it this which makes the Institution
of property a sacred and divine institution, ministering to
all our personal and social intereitSs We are all seeking
money in some form or other every day, and we have little
respect for the honesty or good sense of a man who ssiys
that he cares nothing lor money, and sneers at it as" fil
thy lucre” and the "root of all evil,” and yet holds on with
a tight grasp to all he baa got. and is incessantly striving; to
get as much more as he can I It is, I fear, a pious fraudIt
is very much like say lug that he is indifferent whsther his
family are supported aud educated, or whether society Ad
vances or relapses. I have never yet seen the man who
would refuse money, or would not take more. But it la tuue
that the exclusive love of money, or the inordinate love of
it, merely to get the reputation of being rich ; to add dollar
to dollar, and house to house to gratify vanity, and a
mere animal love of luxurious and sensuous existence, is a
belittleing, corrupting, and unchristian selfishness, tfjan
was not made to be a mere money getting animal, stnd
when his soul centres in this he had better never have
been born ; his life is wasted, and worse than wasted;
his mind rusts, his heart becomes a petrifaction, lie
wears out by the worst kind of friction, over excitement,
as nature abhors a vaccuum, for want of a healthy one,—
Ue has no anchor of Christian principles, and acta upon
the monstrous idea that mouey la life, and when that is
gone all is gone. Is this the mission of life ? Is this liv'
log in obedience to the Gospel of Christ ? I am bound to
say from this place that it Is in defiance of its plainest
deeds, and 11s whole spirit. Our Savior said; “ Beware of
covetousness, for a man’s life cousiateth not In tbe abun
dance of the things which he possessetb,” aud immediately
turns to his desciple* and gives tbe parable of the rich
man, who aald. “I will pull dowu my barna and build great
er. and I will say to my soul. Soul! thou hast much goods
laid up for many years, take tbln* rase ; eat, drink, and
be merry. And God said.thou fool I This ulght tby soul
shall be required of thee ; then whose shall those things
be. which thou hast provided? Bo Is he wholayetbup
treasure for himself, and ia not rich toward God ” But
when a man enters tnto trade as an honorable merchant,
witii the prineiplss and spirit of aohrlstlan gentleman,
to elevate society by an example of honest Industry, an
Incorruptible integrity, in a word of a true and manly life,
trade becomes one of tbe noblest enterprists : It Is a holy
thing ; ht stands upon a solid bails, with a balance of
mind which no accession of wealth, aud no loss of It can
seriously, much less permanently, disturb ; he belongs to
that society "whose merchantsara Princes, and whose tra’-
ficers, are the honorable of the earth and when death
comes, (and It may come as in the case of our departed
brother,) in the strength of his manhood, and in the midst
of a prosperous business, he Is reedy to giro an account
of his stewardship, and restore the talents wliloh have been
loaned, with Interest. He knowa that he brought nothing
Into tbia world, and can cariy nothing out but his charac
ter. He has galued property, and used It for all the legiti
mate purposes for which it Is applieable^and It has given
Its blessing. It has accompllshtd the thing whereunto It
was sent, the oreatlon of a whole hearted, noble minded,
Christian man. There Is no Ion This world ia “ not his
itai’i It 1* gain, unspeakable, everlasting, Hls treasure*
are In Heaven ; out ol ths reach of accident. No fire can
burn them, no floods can swallow thsm. no thief ean steal
them.
But finally : there Is the loss of friends, end to pert with
those who ere linked to us by filoser ties than those of
. blood— by those of affection and friendship, with whom
through many years we liars taken sweet counsel, whose
love we have tested through sunshine and through storm,
and never found wanting, who bar# been faithful among
faithless, with whom we have had such entire sympathy,
that they have become almost parts of ourselves, whoee
places can never be supp|ied to us—this is one of the sore-
est trials which this human nature can pass through, and
If a Christian faith did not come In aid of our aching hearts
and trembling reason, the blackness of darkness would
rest ii|siii the grare -But thanks be to God, who glvelh
us the victory through our Isird Jesus Christ,” God has
uut called us to such severity of grief without correspond
ing alleviations. Christianity has assured us that -this ia
not our rest," that our true life, the life of tbe soul, is not
extinguished with the body’s life, but that we begin then,
most truly, to live, passing on to wider realms of thought,
to uobler exertions, to a purer and more blessed company,
to a happiness "which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither hath It entered Into the heart of man to eooeeive."
It leaves friends behind, but it also Joins frisnds who hnve
gone before, with the blessed assnranc# that the whole cir
cle shell again be unbroken. How often do friends go from
us here, or we from them, to be absent month after month
or year after year, and how happy tbe anticipation of again
meetlug them. Then too how often, aa we advance In life,
do wo feel painfully that the beat of our friends, and the
most of them, are in the spirit Und! We would not live
apart from them always, but pray thaj we mar go wtien
God pleases to those whom we love and who love
Thu* then have I tried to* show that there Is no ptrraa-
neut Ion of lime, or health, or property, or friends. There
is but one loss which is permanent: (As lots of character,
which*!* the loss of everything! “Without holinsss nomsn
shall see tbe Lord."
The animal life U abort, the soul’s life lung. The soul 1*
Immortal, and memory Is undying. Character alone goes
with us into the spiritual future, and aa “corruption can
not inbererit incorruption” nor flesh and sense the kingdom
of God, we drop at death all the appendages of this world.
They ctn afford no mere protection. Tho excitements of a
fictitious life have vanished luto air. We cannot fly to the
cup or tho socUl circle, to politics or to trade, thought
will not be burled In sleep, and memory, if we are tbe same
conscious beings, will unlock the past! Then wo shall
reap as we have sown; and as we have taken nothing with
us but our character, In cliaracter alone will be the tor
ment or the blesalng. The sharpest agony we feel in this
world is from the stiDging consciousness of our own guilt.
It is not the outward caUmlties, tbe broken health, the
wrecked property, the hissing scorn of others, which inflicts
tho intolerable pain, but tbe memory of our own viienen,
of the malignant passions, and the accursed work they
hare done ; the poiuu with which we havo drugged and
killed the happiness of others, the meanness, the injustU*
the reptile baseness of our life. Here is the iron that en
ters into the soul. Hei e the darkness whieh covers us with
despair. Boot out these memories which are close woven
with the soul, let in the sunshine of virtuous serenity, and
a man would laugh even at outright calamities as compar
atively no evil. Let ui believe that the soul makes its
own Heaven or iu own hell, or, as Milton says,
•• The mind Is It* own place, and In Itself
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.”
There, too, are the word* of the Master: " Verily, verily,
a I say unto you, He that hcareth my words aud believeth
on Him that rent me, bath everlasting life, and shall not
come Into condemnation ; but Is passed from death unto
life. Marvel not at tills, for the hour is coming iu the
which all who are in their graves shall lisar His voice and
come forth ; they that have done good unto the resurrec
tion of life, and they that have done evil to the resurrec
tion of damnation.”
I will close this discourse with a single reflection : A
shadow of melancholy may corns over us when we think
how rapidly " one generation cometh and another goetb,"
while maby things In the material world last longer than
euri<e)ves. The children and the children’s children sit
under the same brave old oak which shaded their fathers,
and perhaps their f*there’ fathers; the well from which
Jacob drank still stands to quench the thirst of present
and coming races of the children of men. "The moun
tain falling cometh to nought, tbe water* wear tbe
stands, and tbe rocks are removed out of tbair place." but
how slowly and almost imperceptibly! Thebes, Carthagei
Tyre, Palmyra, with their proud Kings and Queens, and

subjects, and commerce, havo vanished away ; nnd so of
other citlo* and othor generation!; indeed, the whole
earth and the whole sea are themselves the vast cemete
ries of mankind. But on the other hand, Christ haa brought
life and immortality to light, and declared that man out
lives generations of trees, and rocka, and mountains,and
pyramids. Not only do his books, and Institutions, and in
ventions survive the stupendous and durable monuments
of mere matter, but he haa promise of life everlasting to
his affections, bis virtues, and all the Christian influences
he has in auy wny exerted. The real man still lives.
Goodness never dies. Tbe body returns to the dust, but
the spirit to God who gave it. “The stars may fade, tbe
Heavens be rolled together as a scroll, but the path of the
just is as the shining light, which ahincth brighter and
brighter unto the perfect day."

Nuts.—After this Sermon had been given out for publica
tion another of the prominent citizens of Savannah has been
removed by death—Jossra Bancroft. Esq., died on Wednes
day, August 30th—universally respected and beloved. He
was a native of Salem, Moss., but resided many years In
this city. It is a inelancholly pleasure to the writer of
this notice, who waa for several weeks sn inmate of his
family, to be able to aay on much higher authority than
hia own, that Mr. B. was a good man and a good Christian,
exact and "diliigent in business" to the test, though for
many years suffering with disease whieh would have con
fined most men to their chamber; unassuming and cour
teous in his manners, and discharging all his duties in pub
lic and private life with perfect fidelity Ue was a devoted
member of the Unitarian Society in Savannah, by whom
his toss will be most seriously felt.

Weak, nervous, depressed in spirits, and a prey to innu
merable mental as well as physical evl!*, the victim of
dyspepsia Is indeed an object ot commiseration. Yet it is
absurd for him to despair. We care not how low, weak,
nervous and irritable he may be, tbo cordial properties of
Hoofland’s Gkrmax Bittxrh, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jack-
son, Philadelphia, are stronger than the many headed
monster which lf*preying upon his body and mind ; and if
he choose* to try them, we will insure a speedy cure.

In this mammon-worshipping age. it Is rare to find a
man place hia usefulness to the public before his interest.
During a late visit to the “ City of Spindles," we were pre
sented hy a professional friend to the celebrated chemist,
Dr. J. C. Aykr, whose name is now, perhaps, more familiar
than any other, at the bedside of sickness, in tbis coun
try. Knowing the unprecedented popularity of his medi
cines, and the immense sale of them, we had expected to
find him a millionare, and rolling in wealth. Rut no. we
found him in his laboratory, busy witii his lsborers, among
his crucibles, alembics, and retorts—giving his best per
sonal care to the compounds, on the virtues of which
thousands hang for health. We learned, that notwith
standing hi* vast business,and ite prompt returns in cash,
the Doctor is not rich. The reason assigned is, that the
material I* costly, and lie persists In making his prepara
tions so expensively, that the nett profit Is small.

How many are hurried to the grave or left io linger with
broken down constitutions, by the imprudeut use of Mer

Turk ; it is the only tnodfeine which will thoroughly eradi-
oate that dangerous drug from tbe system, aud restore the
system to health and vigor."
