Iu 1788 therfe were thirty-three churches amt about 2,250 members, and .in 1794 there were, flfly-tkreo churches, and •bout 8,650 members. In tiiat year, diurchcs were'dismissed which furm ed the Hepzibah Association in 1795;-' and .iu 1708 other churches wero distilled which formed the Sarepta Association, ho that t lie re were three Baptist Associations gyA tjsic. with a membership of about 8.IW0; the en tire jKipiilaiiqn of the statc.being 162,- 000. It Was itr that year a resolution was adopted by the Georgia Associa tion which led (o , TO THE FIRST UKNSItAI. CONFERENCE of Ilia Georgia Baptists, in May, 1801, to secure unity oi action in evangeli cal enterprises. 'l'his conference was followed by others in 1802 aud 1803, ail of which are designated “the l'eivclton Coufe-- ences." At the meet’ng in 1803 a •EVERAL COMMITTEE .of twelve was appointed, to act for The deueminatien, and to constitute -‘a bond of union, center of ialelli grace ami adviiery council of the elate.” Its continuance was to be preserved by annual meetings of dole gates, three from each association in the state. The objects to be accom plished by this general committee were: First Ike encouragement of itinerant preaching; soroud, a mis sion among the Indians in the wes tern part of the slate, and third, tits increase of unien among all real Christians. But this committee re ceived hut scant support from the tie nomination, aud died a natural death, or rather expired frent neglect aud indifierewce about 1811 181$, {fs only achievement was the establish ment ef a Baptist academy, at Ml, Kuou, not very far southwest of Au gusta, which, after su exislanec of a few years, ox pared about 1.812. For the next t> n years the BaptW* of Georgia were without a general meeting to concentrate aud uui'e their roeources, strength awl iohors. In 181 t) the Georgia Association dismissed twenty of its churches to form stilt another association, the fourth, which was called , the Ocniul gec. A flftls associntlos had Wen formed at Savannah, In 1802, called the Savannah Biver Association, so that, in the year 1813, there were five Baptist associations, composed of 15, 755 members. Although there was no general bond of union fer denominational wort, among the Georgia Baptists, .during the second decade of the cen tury, there was a steady growth, a general spirit of itireration and a .strong feltowship-fcaiiug. But a t providential train of circumstances xoon aroused a spirit that demanded ■co-operation. Luther Bioe returned /row India to tell of his own awl Adorn ram Judson's conversion to Baptist vjews; and, traversing the land from one end to the other, he * rostral the Baptists everywhere to a high pi'ch of MISSIONARY ENT-'CSIASM. He visited the Savannah Biver As sociation in 1813, and soon after the Savannah Society for Foreign Mis sions sent out a Macedonian call, in clarion tones, to the Baptists of Geor gia. The noble old Georgia was the first to respond, by the organization of a missionary society at Powelton in May, 1815. In rapid succession the Ocunuigec, the Swept*, Hepbci- THE WASHINGTON GAZETTE.

In 1820 a “plan for Indian reform’’ was adopted, and sereral associations, including the Georgia, united in sup porting an India* mission in Alabama, which existed until the reinovalof the Indians to the weat in 1839. In 1820, at tlie" instance of jDr. A|(liet;Shei'Woo4, a resolution was adoptedhy the Sarepta Association, which led to the formation of a gen eral association at Poweltou, in 1322. Six ypargj afterwards, hi 1828, the mime was changed to sarriaT co.nvw.-uox o* the sxitx or OXO*OI A. The aims of the conyontiqai were to promote union and co-op- eration to iprni and sucourage plans ’for promoting experimental a-U practical religion, and to educate young nun for the ministry; and by no means, BMut manner, to .* srn the churches. There were Sfibrts nude, however, to promote uuifor wity or sentiment and discipline, this Wtt soon discovered to be not only impracticable but impossible. Jesse Mhecor,{ the Georgia Association, w* the *y4 presideot of the General Association, and fornitietoon years in succession wai elected president of the body. s< " f In 1384 there Ware 10 Baptist asso oiations io Georgia, 264 churches and oyer 18,000 members. Previous to that tiiho the state of religion in the State was at * low ebb; but afterwards a much better stile of feeling began to prevail. The repffesculed stale bowevetv.did not extend farther west than the Ocmnlgcc.and none (or very tew) of our churches lay to the wsst wardef Alacou, as the country was not opened up to civilization. In 1827 a glorious revival, which begun in Katonton, spread all over the state and lasted for two or three years, at least 30,000 uufthig with the de nomination a* the result. To the credit of the Georgia Asso ciation, it should be said that for years she was the enfy asaociation connected with tha coiiventien, and almost single-handed she maintained its existence and held the deiiomina tion together iu ce-operative agency. oßKiia or MKRcxb pmvEWfTr.

That was in 1839. A theological department was established) and Dr. Adiol Sherwood became its first pro fessor. Excellent agents were put in the field and a respectable endow ment was soon raised; but by far the largest proportion cante from the Georgia Association. Jesse Mercer, after whom the university is named, was the most liberal giver, his dona tions, in all, ainouatiug to about #70,- 1100. Mr. Mercer bought THE CHRISTIAN INDEX, paper, moved ll from Philadelphia io Georgia in 1833., aud in 1810 moved.il ffilfi Wash iugt oft to Peufleld, Ga., aud presented it te the convention. In that yaay gpraj.were 50,0Q0 Bap tists in the slatef right omoriaiiens were constituents of The convention, aud Mercer opeued with 132 students in the eollcgiate and ac ademic departments. A much better stala f affairs began to exist among the churches' for Die denomination now had three bonds of untoti—first, a state convention; second, a floursh.- iug college, and third, a useful relig ious paper. In eoitsequcucc, it increas ed in numbers, in efjjcicn cy, and in pious co-operetion. There were in the stale 65,000 Baptiste in 1812; 58,- 388 in 18-'5; 71,879 lu 1850; 86,700 in 1855, awl 90,149 in 1860, With fbe convention, Its university and the In dex as bonds'of Onion, the Baptist# ot'Gcorgia have grown up into one vast brotherhood, mighty iu numbers and in the main harmonious. Its to tal number in the state now, includ ing both whites and blacks, is 250,- 000 in roEitd numbers, but about 85,- CBOonly, in thirty-nine association* are constituents of the convention, •t the 122,000 whit# Baptist* in the state. From first to last the grand old Georgia Association ha* been thoroughly identified with all the progressive movement* ef the Geor gia Baptists, being virtually their standard bearer and leader in evei y good word and work, aud now, at iU approaching annual meeting at Wash ington, Ga., in October, 1884, onebun ilred year* from th* date ef its for mation, it has concluded to held SPECIAL MEMORIAL SERVICES, in honor of that occasion, and ha# in vited the other Baptist associations of the state to participate by messen ger* appointed. In view of these facts, and as "a common thanksgiv ing to Almighty God for his blessings vouchsafcd-through all these .years,” An editorial of M. B. Wharton, D. D., in the Christian Index, of Atlanta, on the 31 l of May last, suggested that “we make 1884 a memorial year for Mercer Universily and raise one hun dred thousand dollars for tipe further endowment and equipment of that institution which originated with the spirit that formed and fostered the Georgia Association.” JEpr fifty years this institution of .l^|8 ! ana forty-four years Mercer Univer sity—has been educating and sending forttvuian who have adorned the pulpft, the bench, the bar, the hails of Onyrees and the gubernatorial chair of our state. The preyeut occupant of oor Executive Mansion is a graduate of Mercer, and his aged father was for halt adozen years, a fishhfni and laborious tsacher hi the institute, half s century ago. This endowment of Mercer Uuiver sity was, by the exigencies of our late calamitous war, considerably di minished, and it wae thought a re moval from Peufield would prove institution tea home within her city limits, !he invitation was accepted, sod Mercer University stands among us' to-day, the prida ot Georgia Bap tists. And wlisn tha proposition was made to a'vsil ourselves of this 'me morial year and, by a combined gen eral movement, increase the endow ment of the university, by a grand centennial gift of 1100,000, the great Baptist heart of Georgia was thrilled with a most enthusiastic acquies cence. The proposition was. most cordially adopted. Fifty thousand dollars have already been pledged, and it is confidently hoped that the round one hundred thousand dollars will be raised. For its share iti this good work the noble old Georgia, as ever leading in the van, has underta ken te raise teu thousand dollars. S. Boykik. February, 1884. A 530,000 fKJtSWY t'OW. Capl. G.

THE tvnucjt AT qOSnMN, ALA. (Prom the C.os* Plain* (Als.,) Post-.) About th-ee and one-half miles north of Cross Plains lies a beautiful scope of laud known as Goshen Val lpy;a riuh agricultural region, once inhabited bf a thrifty, well to-do peo ple— honest, pious and hospitable. There years ago the fathers builded ‘their hcitises, set up their altars, ©ret ted their barnt, cleared their lands, niifl in time roared their children, living the while in peace and harmony with caclt other, serving their God aud loving their follow-tncn. No where in ail this land did the sun shine upon nor the soft bree-.es of heaven fan the brows of a more hap py and coatciited people than those of Goshen Valley, until that dark day— Tuesday, February 19, 1884—dawned upon them, leaving at its close the pall of death and dire desolation. Where stood tha comfortable home* o£ those good people, only the de* bris remains lo mark the gpot. A terrible storm had swept over the Goshen Valley, dealing death aud de struction a'l along its path. The lo cal physicians were ail summoned, and in a few moments a large party started to the scene of the disaster. The first evidence of the storm Itiat met our vision was the residence of : A - 8- Johnson. The roof was blown off, the veranda torn away, the chira ' aeys demolished aqd the sash shat* the windows. Across the road, west, only the floor was left to show where had stood tho homo of Mr. A. S. Johnson, Jr. Farther up the road, to tho right "(cast) was a portion of the floor of the school house, where Mr. A. S. Johnson, >fr., was n teaching his school of about thirl v pupils when the storm came. and across the road, we saw the summit ef tho liill, less than a, .(iiarter of a mile an ay, where we weio told the targe,substantial two -stery J.woiliiig of Mr. W.

A few yards fttrthcr on, wesj ef the road, tas a part of the chimney and foundation of Mr. W. L. Barker’s house., "frest of that, a short dis- tance, had stood tlm residence of Mr. Boss Stewart—there was another te- Ital wrick. As far as we could see in | anydiiV'ction tho earth was thickly i covered pieces of timber, frag ments of furniture,'bedding and cloth iug. AH the outbuildings and fences were swept away. Besides (he hous es mentioitcil, those of John A. Pope. Jesse Evans, John Evans, Jesso Ai ken and Mrs. Oliver wore cutireiy de stroyed. Mr. D. F. Addorholt’s dwelling was partially, blown away, anti Mr, John Stewart's house was parlia fy unroofed, and many other dwellings were damaged. Although we were on the ground (at Goshen proper) soon after the storm saw the dead aud many of the weuniiod, walked ovef the wreck strewn ground,and saw ail there was to see, wo do not essay to describe the scene as it was; (hat was a task too difficult for our feoblo pen. It cannot be desetlbed in such a man ner ns to convoy anything liko a cor rect idea of tho scene.
