Kev. t r. Skinner's Farewell
Sermon.
This worthy gentleman and distin
guished divine preached his last dis
course on Sunday at 11 a. m., to a crowd-
congregation in the First Baptist
Chnrob. Daring the three and a half
years of his pastoral connection with his
ople not less than 125 persons had
ieen converted, baptized and received
on a profession of their faith, and a con
siderably larger number added by letter
from other obnrebes. By actual calcula
tion, therefore, os many as one person
bad b ien received for every five days of
the Doctor’s pastorate. This is a most
surprising record, and famishes the best
evidence that his labors had baen owned
and signally blessed of God.
Dr. Skinner’s sermon was based npon
a passage in Job whioh depicts the Prov
idence of the Most High and His inscru
table mysteries. The speaker said men
were prone to look at the dark side of
every picture. To view the cloud and
not the sunshine. Bat clonds overspread
onr whole career, and even the Bible
was full of dark passages hard to be un
derstood. Paul said, “His ways are paBt
finding out.” Still these cloads have
the silver lining o! hope and prace to
the believer—Dad’s love for man is infi
nite. It ia manifested continually in the
pages of holy writ, and lights np every
eentence and sparkles through every
cloud that dims the human vision.
Tho bible is no respecter of persons. It
bears, if possible, with even greater sever
ity npon the saint than the simmer. Yet
the glorious plan of Balvation is a bright
light and unspeakable joy to the f&ithfnl
amid all the gleom that envelops his
earthly existence. So aho the indis
putable evidence of the immortality of
the soul and precious truths of revela
tion are never failing sources of comfort
to the believer.
Tbe premature death of the good and
useful, and, the way the wicked fl mrish,
oh what a cloud o’er our pathway. But
we know that “ His way is in the sea, his
paths in the waters, and hi3 footsteps
are not known.” These clouds too, are
mere vapor spots introductory to a higher
state of existence. For our “light afflic
tions which are but for a moment shall
work out for us afar more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory.”
Some men think evil and lore to
speak it. There i3 no snob thing
as a disinterested act* all is
deceit, and every man has his price.
Virtue they regard as a mere myth, Bat
even hero the light shines in. There is
no unmitigated corruption in society.
This is seen in all the relations of life.
In tbe devoted love of father, mother,
and the onences cf husband and wife.
Love tights tbe clouds thethang over the.
world, and moral justioe will certainly
overtake the evil-doer. Religious light
aud knowledge are gradually spreading
over aU the earth.
Even in the case of the desponding
Christian the very confession and ac
knowledgment ot sin affords good hope
thatheisthe child of God. The har
dened have no care for the future.
The Dootor, In applying bis subject,
counselled his hearers to cultivate teh
habit of looking st tbe bright side of
things—to oonfide in Christ and have
faith in His promises. Let the clonds
threaten and roll as they will, know that
there is sunshine and peaoe beyond to tho
believer.
The oonolnding remarks of the speaker
were fall of tenderness and admonition,
and plain were the parting words that he
addressed to bis psopls. His discourse,
whioh we have in so wise attempted to
sfcetob, was one of great power, and cal
culated to oomfort the weak and wavering
among God’s followers. When the ser
vices closed, many oame forward and
bade an affectionate adieu to their de
parting t a tor.
- We trust this eminent man of God wilt
soon find himself again in harness, bit
•ling for the truth, of whioh he is so bold
and fearless an exemplar.

There is enough of the flavor of xcys

in the Angusta News,of Saturday,to make
it quite readable. It purports to be an
extraot from a private Atlanta letter, and
says:
'There seems to be little doubt here
among knowing ones that the Maoon and
Brunswick Railroad will, at no distant
day, pass into the hands of a New York
and Boston company, consisting of Wm.
B. Astor acd others of less note though
well known in Georgia aa rtilroad mag
nates, express men, and other public
benefactors in various parts of the Union.
It is also understood that the Macon and
Angnsta road is part of the programme,
either to draw Mr. Wadley into the
scheme or remove the iron to continue
the Macon and Brunswick road to the
Gate City. There seems to be a power
fnl undercurrent at work which may
wake up some of your railroad officials
before they are aware of it, unless wide
awake already. Atlanta is determined
to offer every faoility to any project that
will cat off Macon from Augusta, and
some Georgia railroad directors are wink
ing at the prospect, as little as yon thick
of it.. ‘White man very uncertain.’ ”

The Advertiser—What do yon think of
the present politioal cntlaok in Georgia ;
do yon attach any * importance to the
threatened Independent movement?
Captain Smith,—The Independents,
as I understand them, oharge that our
State government, aa now organized, is
corrupt, and on this ground they base
most of their opposition. If our party
is so oorrupt as they oharge, we ought
to be able to purify it inside of cur or
ganization. We ousted the Republican
party in thia State became of its known
crimes and mal-actiqns, and it will be a
sad commentary on human nature if a
few Independents, in league with this
Bamo Republican party, should drive us'
out of power on the same charges. My
judgment is, as having fixed a high stan
dard for offioial conduct for our oppo
nents, we should not only live np to it
ourselves, but our officers should be above
suspicion. I would not do injustice foany
officer, but we cannot afford, as a party
or otherwise, to sontion official corrup
tion. We have removed the Republics-
party to no purpose if we do. Much de
pends on the present Legislature aa to
what coarse the Independents wili takes
We must rectify car lives—-purge the
party of bad officers—advanoe tha gen.
eral good by our enaotments, and then we
ean defy all our enemies. The only fear
that I have of the Independent move
ment is, that it will revive the Bepnbli- ■
can party in this State and endanger its
oontrol by Democrats. Independent
Democrats in Congress heretofore have
acted with the Democratic party there,
and I believe will oontinae to do bo.

Daring the high wind which prevailed
yesterday morning, J. Moorman Cutter
started out with, a half gallon of whisky
to tako to his sick mother, who lives oat
onVirginiastreet. He was found some
hours afterward lying behind a fence on
the hill in an inarticulate condition.
Later in the day ho recovered euffieiently
to explain the catastrophe which had
overtaken him. He said that he etopped
around a corner to fix a cork in the jug
and while he was taking the measure of
the orifice of the jug a tremendous
zephyr came down on him like a whirl
wind. It sucked tha liquor clean out of
the jag, blew it down his throat and
turned the jug inside out. He could re
member nothing more of the occurrence.
No traces of any jug or liquor were no-
tioed where Cutter was picked up. They
had both been spirited away.
New York fetter to Courier*Joum»l,]
In my last letter I touched lightly on
the uncertain ways of Nemesis, and the
faot bo general of the paeticil retribution
dealt out to the men who spent fonr
years of their lives in bawling loyalty and
robbing the pockets of the pnblio. These
were the stay-at-home birds. One of them
who is especially present to my mind's
eye, I have known from childhood. His
father was an original abolitionist. The
son grew np intensely pious and intense
ly avaricious. He made endless freedom
speeches,'but never shouldered a musket.
When it was over, he pat $400,000 into
the construction of a Southern railroad.
He said: “I have wrestled for my black
brother of the Scuth, and lo I his chains
hare fallen from him. How gladly will
he now peel off his coat and work for me
with the motive power of gratitude.”
Colored brother did not take off his ooat;
perhaps he had none. Nobody seemed
to care about the road. Its bonds are
worthless, its business nothing, for it was
built from nowhere to nowhere. Tbe
$400,000 have vanished, and Peleg the
Pious, forgetting his piety, speaks cf
