Atlanta, Ga., July 29,1872.
Messrs. James M. Mobley, Julian Hart-
From a book by Jesse Mercer—of hon
ored name and holy fame among the peo
ple of Georgia—a lriend has collated
the subjoined items, which will be of in
terest to the people now. When it is
considered what the Baptist Church was
in Georgia, in 1772, and what it is in
1872, it will be seen that the Master’s
work has been wonderfully propagated.
The book from which these facts were
collected, was published in 1838:
In 1772, at the Kiokee meeting house,
in Columbia county, Georgia, on the
site now occupied by the public build
ings of Applington, was constituted the
fiist Baptist church ever organized
on the soil of Georgia. Rev. Daniel
Marshall was the pastor. At this time
Mr. Marshall was the onlv ordained
Baptist minister in the State.
About the year 1774 the Creek and
Cherokee Indians became very trouble
some on the frontiers, and by their fre
quent incursions greatly harrassed these
settlements and, at last, quite broke
them up. Soon after the deeper horrors
of the Revolutionary war began to fill ail
with dismay. Savannah fell—Sunbury
surrendered—Gen. Ash was defeated,
and at length the whole country was
brought to submit to the British arms.
Many sought safety in flight.
But the intrepid Marshall stood his
ground and never deserted his post; like
an Apostle, having his dear people in
his heart, to live and to die with them.
The Second Baptist Church in the
State was constituted in 1773, and the
Third in 1777. Soon after the close of
the war for American Independence, the
ministers and members, who had been
very much scattered and depressed, now
became animated, and various settle
ments simultaneously flowed together,
as by one common impulse, and were
soon constituted into many churches.

ON THE DEATH OF HON. LINTON STEPHENS.
Wretched with grief at Liberty’s feet,
Poor Georgia falls down in deep care,
And piteously raising her manacled hands,
She sends forth a wail of dispair:
“See dead on my breast my true-hearted son,
My champion so yalliant, so great;
’Mid the clssh of his arms, in battle with wrong,
He has fallen a victim to Fate.

Tarren Aiken, Committee:
Gentlemen—I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your commu
nication of the 24th inst., informing me
that the State Democratic Convention
had nominated me unanimously as their
. candidate for the office of Governor.
For this great honor I cannot com-
• mand language in which to express my
gratitude. The unanimity and hearti-
..ness with which the nomination was
'•made, add another to the many obliga-
ions already resting upon me, to serve
with all possible zeal and faithfulness a
•people who have so honored and trusted
.me.
The resolutions adopted by the Con
•vention have been carefully considered,
and I take pleasure in stating that the
principles therein enunciated meet with
my warm approval. The re-affirmance of
-“the unchangeable doctrine that this is
■a Union of States, and that the indes
tructibility of the States, of their rights,
and of their equality with each other, is
an indispensable part of our political
system," is a pledge on the part of the
Convention that the Democracy of Geor
gia will continue to adhere to the prin
ciples of constitutional government.
These great fundamental principles of
•our Federal system should never be for
gotten or abandoned. And yet, to use
the language of one of the resolutions, I
fully “recognize the exigencies of the
times which suggested and secured the
•nomination by the Democratic party at
Baltimore, of Horace Greeley and B.
'Gratz Brown, as candidates for Presi
dent and Vice Presidant of the United
- States, and regard their election as con-
. ducive to the preservation of the rights
• of the States, "to local self-government,
and the protection of the individual lib
erty of the citizen.”
It would be uncandid in me not to say
that I shonld have been glad if this exi
gency had not been upon us. The power
of naming the candidates, however, was
specifically lodged by the party in the
National Convention. That Convention,
like a court of the last resort, is the
highest party tribunal in the land, and
•beyond it there is no other or further
-appeal, without going outside of the
party. This latter course I cannot adopt.
I cannot separate myself from my own
people. Nay, more: I would stand by
them, even when in the wrong, rather
than give the enemies of good govern
ment my countenance and support.
The National Convention having nom
inated candidates for the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency, and the State Conven
tion having recognized and accepted
these candidates, I shall not permit my
Stone Mountain, July 25, 1872,
Editors Sun : The examination in Mr.
Morris’ school for girls and boys, in this
place, came off yesterday. The pupils
all acquitted themselves admirably—
showing that they had received careful
attention at the hands of their excellent
preceptor. The classes all exhibited ev
idence of having passed through a prac
tical system of training in all the rudi
mentary branches of English education.
Especially was this the case with the
classes in arithmetic and grammar—the
two most essential of all taught in our
primary schools.
The exhibition, in which the lads came
forward with specimens of oratory, and
the lassies with compositions, was no
less a credit to the school, as it showed
that the children were being trained in
all the humanities which are calculated
to make them useful and graceful mem
bers of society.
The people of Stone Mountain are sat
isfied with their school advantages, and
they have reason to be, as no village in
the State can boast of a more excellent in
structor. W. P. S,

A Trip to Monticello—Crops—Tile Pec

Coining — Methodist District Confer
ence—Bishop Fierce-General Evans
Social Circle, July 14th, 1872,
Editors Sun: We left home on
Thursday last for Monticello, to attend
the Atlanta District Conference. Noth
ing occurred on the road worthy of note.
Crops looked as fine as we ever saw them,
until we came within two miles of the
place. Here we found they had suffered
very much for want of rain.
Monticello is an old town as its ap
pearance betokens. It was founded in
1808 and is the county site of Jasper.
It is cut off from railroad facilities, being
eighteen miles from Eatonton the near
est railroad point.
The citizens are very much eleated at
the prospect of a railroad from Griffin
through their town to intersect the
Georgia Railroad at Madison, a distance
of twenty-five miles. This road is being
graded at both ends, and they are look
ing forward to its early completion.
Monticello has three churches—Meth
odist, Presbyterian and Baptist, and two
Sabbath schools. There are also two
colored churches—Methodist and Bap
tist. There is one school here taught by
a young lady. We were told that there
is also a good colored school. There are
“The demons of gnile in darksome abodes,
Who serve the oppressors of men,
Saw how my chieftain in Liberty’s canse
Defied them again and again;
Saw how sublimely he breasted the storm
That over his mother State blew;
Nor bartered the truth to serve any hour,
Bnt in all occasions proved true.
‘Then filled with dismay in their regions below,
At the virtue of him I deplore,
And baffled to seo amid evil times
One Roman his honor keep pure:
Full swiftly they sped to the court of grim Death,
And brought him to do what they willed;
For, bent on my ruin and Freedom’s defeat,
Whom they could not corrupt they have killed.”
From the Heavens the Goddess of Liberty spake,
Consoling the sorrowing Stater
“Jehovah, in pity, this comfort reveals,
To lighten the gloom of thy fate—
His hand has uplifted thy son from defeat,
And haUowed the dust in bis urn;
Triumphant o’er death hisjvirtues arise,
Forever in glory to burn.
On account of late conventions and the meeting of
the Legislature, the general trade in this city has
improved, with considerable activity in some
branches.
Cotton has declined only one quarter cent during
last week, and is now stationary.
Money is tight; bnt collections are good. Atlanta
8s have declined one cent, and Georgia Railroad
bonds two cents. Transactions light in bonds and
stockB.
There is a good demand for com. The wheat
market is hare, with an upward tendency. Wet
weather has caused much of the wheat to rust
Flour, consequently, is firm but quiet
Meats remain active, with an unusually heavy
trade for the season. Prices continue to advance.
Country produce is in light demand for the large
receipts.
Tho trade in Leather has improved.
Dry Goods prices remain unchanged, with a lively
sale.
The trade in Carpets, continues actiite. There is
a heavy demand from the country, as weU as from
much city building of residences.
There is no change in the high prices of Hard
ware; goods rather scarce from “strikes,” in Eu
rope as well as this country. Some English articles
have advanced fifty per cent.
Tobacco trade quite active.
The Live Stock market is dull and unchanged.

“In happier skies that canopy Heaven,
Be-starred with the patriot dead,
A new orb has risen of lustre benign,
And shines on thy grief-shrouded head.
Beyond all the gloom of Freedom’s bleak night;
Beyond all the troubles of State,
A beacon to those who struggle for Right
Thy Statesman is still good and great.
“The words tfyvt were dropped from lips that fell
dead
Ere their echoes had passed from your ears,
Have i.rawn from the grave a power divine—
A sacredness hallowed by tears.
No bayonet rule, no base lust of power,
No force that e’er daunted the brave,
Such power can wield o’er the popular heart
As the Patriot holds in his grave.”

Washington, July 29.—Our naval fleet
in -the Pacific, heretofore under the com

divided into two squadrons, northern
and southern—each to be under the com
mand of a Rear Admiral; and Rear Ad
miral Steadman, now in command of

be assigned to the command of one of
them.
One hundred and fifty recruits have

The letter received some time ago by
Mr. Sumner, signed by thirty respecta
ble colored citizens of Washington, ask
ing his opinion on the issue between
Grant and Greeley, especially with re
ference to their antecedents and present
position, has remained unanswered until
now. It is understood that the Senator’s
answer will be given to the press to-mor
row. In it he reviews at length the
claims of the two candidates, but it is
not known which way he decides. He
gives as a watchword the unity of the re
public, and the equal rights of all with
reconciliation.

-'Democratic party, with Greeley and
Brown as its candidates, is infinitely,

-will achieve a triumph over fraud, cor-

I may add that sin.v* my 'accession to

■- stow upon national affairs. We have a
great, work before us Bern in Georgia,
sufficient to engage the best efforts of
every patriot in the State, and I have
given my hand and heart to that work.
To complete this work successfully, it is
necessary that we preserve the integrity

It is necessary that we be united and

ferences upon matters of minor concern.

work we have in hand will have been fin-

honse upon the modem plan.
We went as a delegate to the Confer
ence,and the committee on Homes assign
ed us to this excellent honse, where we
had a delightful time, many thanks to
our host and hostess. The citizens gener
ally extended a most cordial hospitality
to the delegates.
The introductory sermon was preached
on Thursday evening, by Rev. C. A.
Evans, Pastor of Trinity Cimrch of your
city. It was a fine effort, showing the
unity of Christ to the Church >and the
Church to Christ.
On Friday morning at half past eight,
Bishop Pierce opened the conference
with reading a portion of Scripture and
prayer. The morning and evening session
were occupied in hearing reports from
the different charges of the district.—
Saturday’s session was consumed in dis
cussing the various interests of the
church—prominent among which was
family prayer. This duty was reported
as very much neglected by heads of fami
lies. Many very pertinent remarks were
made to stir up the minds to the spirit
ual advantages to be derived from the
discharge of this duty.
The literature of the church, Sunday
schools, Sunday school literature and fi
nances of the church, all received their
respective share of attention. The devo
tional meetings were earnest, solemn and
affecting. The preaching was convinc
ing, instructive, persuasive, powerful,
and attended by tne demonstration of
the spirit, and much fruit will doubtless
result from it.

San Francisco, Cal., July 29.—Thos.
Carroll, while riding near San Jose,
Saturday night, saw two men whom he
supposed to be highwaymen. He shot
one of them dead and made the other a
prisoner. Investigation shows the vic
tim to be Henri Pattel, an inoffensive
French florist, who, with a companion
in the same business, was going into the
mountains to gather flowers. Carroll
was committed for trial, on the charge
manslaughter.
Advices from. Japan say the Mickado

tion of Foreign Ministers by consenting
to both parties standing during the re

Disaffection and threatened revolt are

Geneva, July 29.—The Swiss Times,
giving further particulars of the proceed
ings of the Board of Arbitration, says
the Board has disallowed the claims of
the American Government arising out
of depredations of the Boston, the Jeff
Davis, the Music, and several other sim
ilar Confederate cruisers. The reason
leading to this action of the Board is,
that charges of negligence on the part of
the British Government, as far as these
vessels are concerned, have not been
proven.
Madrid, July 29.—The statement that
the Government intends selling property
which it has seized, belonging to persons
engaged in the Cuban insurrection, is
