The Savannah Republican on
onr Religious Status.
The editor of the Republican in bis
issue of the 22J inst., advocating the
fitness of a baft at a Sunday School
celebration, or anywhere cisc, and call
ing the editor of the Argus a “long-
faced puritan,” says: “The world^ in
eluding the rtdigious portion of it, is
coming to test everything by common
sense and the rifles of a strict bat en
lightened morality, See."
In bis very next issue, he gives vent
to the following, completely overturning
his theory of the day before, and en
dorsing a declaration of ours, which be
republished and condemned—but he
vraa pot now endeavoring to vindicate
'lii* darling amusement of “tripping the
fight fantastic toe I"—
“Everybody that is honest deplores
the utter demoralization that has come
over the country since the close of the
war- ramifying into every department of
society and threatening the' oveithrow
of the government itself. Where to
commence, and how tq carry on the
work ot reform successfully, is the great
political and moral question of the dav
and all appear to be at a loss for
satisfactory answer. * *
Here the editor of the Republican
exhibits an elongated phiz as far sur
passing our rotund countenance as it is
possible for two faces to differ in stretch
ing capacity. We know the masses
are demoralized terribly,-and there is
no more satisfactory proof of it than the
frequency of masquerade and other
dancing parties, at a time when the
South lies blcedingand in rags, under the
fieel of a soulless and brainless faction
still wc have faith in Gpd's Providence
and grace, and believe if such false
teachers as the Republican, so far as
his code of moral amusements are con
cerned, would go to the Bible and thei
knees, as searchers for truth, and sup
pliants for neglect of religious duties, a
moral revolution would soon sweep the
land, would purify our churches, and
restore the government of our fathers
to its pristine grandeur and beauty.

The Wily and the WUcrefore.
We copy elsewhere, from the Savan
nnh Republican, a pretty severe criticism
upon our humble self, tho occasion for
the Attack being onr condemnation of
tho ball, gotten tip ontke day of our late
Sunday-School pic-nic, and jn the hear
ing 6f the ministers, scholars and
Christian people who had visited us, to
celebrate an institution of the house of
• God. We can account for the excitement
our little squib, of a fett lines only, Inns
produced alone upon the hypothesis that
the times are “sadly out of joint,” and
that our charge of demoralization was
undeniably true. Our language, in con
demning the ball, was not such as we
•would have used had we not written
hastily and upon the spur of the mo
ment, but the circumstances did not
justify* any oue in charging us with
other than pure and disinterested mo
tives. We consider ourself incapable of
intentionally wounding the feelings of,or
doing the slightest injustice to a human
being, recognizing, ns we do, onr ac
countability to God for what we do or
say, knowing that we are hastening to
his bar, there to give account for all our
words and deeds. Balls and dancing
parties, on ordinary occasions of levity
and- worldliness, may not inflict
deadlier wound on virtue and religion
than many other institutions of this
wicked world; still all true followers of
Christ, of whatever name or Church,
greatly deplore their existence, and in
the language of Dr. Adam Clarke, class
them among those practices which are
“evil, only eyil, and that continually.’’
As tho editor of the Republican has
assumed the right to lecture ns on moral
questions, and in connection with a
local matter with which lie could have
had but little to do, we trust that he will
not take umbrage at us for what follows:
The Scriptures divide the hhman
family into three distinct class <s—“the
righteous, the ungodly and the sinner,”
and from one or the other of these classes
no intelligent person is exempt. The
“righteous,” is he who, like Joshua,
•‘serves God;" “loves him with all the
Jiear-t, strength, soul and mind, and his
neighbor as himself;” “is dead to the
World;" “has his conversation in heav
en;’’ “whether he eats or drinks, or
whatever he does, he does it all to the
ghry of God;" “he is crucified with
Christ,” and is alone a member of his
true Church—his mystical body.
The “ungodly,” is one against whom
no accusation can be brought, reflecting
upon his morality, honesty, patriotism,
integrity, or belief in the divinity and
offices of Christ and his Church—he is
irreproachable—an admirable citizen
and a “good man,” in the eyes of the
world; but he is not a Christian; knows
nothing of heart-felt religion; has never
been “born again;” enjoys no commun
ion with God—is, in fact, “ungodly.”
A large, number of the church members
.of these days, it is reasom&le to suppose,
ore composed of this class. They are
the- advocates of balls and worldly
amusements, as a general thing, and are
great critics of Christian character. They
than a ball-room. He is profane, in
temperate, and open in his acts of rebel
lion against God., He neither fears God
nor regards man, and makes no preten
tions to religion or morality. Everybody
knows where to locate him—everybody
knows that he is a sinner, and only a
sinner. He, too, is a strong advocate
of balls and parties.
We presume the clever and popular
editor of the Republican is of the “un
godly” class, and enjoys liifeself hugely
whirling around a room, at a ball, with
a pretty young lady, their arms mutually
embracing each other the while. It
must be very facinating! No one can
wonder that a heart, un renewed by the
grace of God, should take pleasure in
such an exercise. But he that desires
to “escape the pollutions whjch are in
the world through lust,” and to make
his way safely to the bright shores of
eternal deliverance, will, if his mind be
properly enlightened by the Spirit of
Truth, shun the intoxication of a ball
room, and the corruption of the dance,
as the price offered .by the tempter for
the purchase of his soul, and the betray
al of his God.
“Disreputable.”
Messrs. Editors.—Under the above
caption we noticed with regret a
very incorrect, unjust, and insulting
article which appeared in the Edito
rial columns of the Bainbridge * Ar
gus. '
The “men and women, wicked per
sons” and ^velers. spoken of, em
braces the most refined, respectable
and moral class in this community.
Tue dance was given by request of
some of the most respectable visitors,
if perchance they were not church
members.
Knowing the parties personally
who were present we can truthful'?
state the “women” are known and
recognized as among the most intel
ligent, modest and respectable in the
city.
And the “men’’ are classed with
the most sober, moral and respected
citizens in this community.
In onr opinion it would have been
m re-becoming and in better taste—•
if from conscientious mo'ives it was
necessary to give a published disap
proval of the affair, to have headed
the article “Inappropriate.’' (on ac
count of the occasion.) And then to
have shown disapprobation :u lan
guage less harsh and offensive.
JuSTITH.
Had the writer of the foregoing
communication, which we copy from
the Sun, of last Thursday, sent his
article to us, we would cheerfully have
published it. And we copy it now,
to prove our willingness to do justice
to the parties.
At the time we -wrote the article
objected to, we did not know the
name of a single person present, nor
did we intend by the language used,
to reflect upon the respectability of
the dancers. The strong language
only proved our deep feeling of re
morse and chagrin at the occurence,
at such a time.
As to our charge that the dancers
were “wicked people,” we would re
mind “Justitia” that the Bible recog
nizes two classes—“the righteous and
the wicked—those who serve God and
those who serve Him not.” If those
young or old persons thus engaged,
at a Sunday School celebration, were
serving God, and seeking to glorify
Him, we confess our entire ignorance
of what constitutes His service.
We would offend or insult no one
—we seek the good of all—and es
pecially are we anxious to promote
the welfare of the young of this com.
mnnity.

The Crops.
We have passed over a large portion
of this immediate section within the past
ten days, and have seen much to en
courage us in regard to agricultural
prospects. In Baker and Mitchell
counties, as well as in the portions of
Decatur wc have visited, the corn is
growing finely, is perfectly clean, and
much of it is waist-high. The cotton
is 6neajl, for the season, and in some
Dstances, the stand is bad, yet we have
seen no cause to aDprehend disaster to
this important crop. Indeed, we are
disposed to regard the cotton-plant as
doing well. Some of these fields look
very beautiful, the plant averaging

We heard on Monday last that Col.

Union of the Northern and South
ern Methodist Church.—Bishops
Simpson and Janes, of the Northern
Methodist Church, in behalf of all
the other Bishops, hare made over
tures and proposals of Church Union
to the Southern Bishops, during the
late meeting of the latter at Memphis,
which take the Southern people by
surprise, not having had the least
intimation of such a purpose on their
part.
We will, provided we can find suffi
cient room, publish in the next Argus
the correspondence between the
Bishops of the two churches.
For onrself, we can see no good
possibly to result’from an organic
nnion of these clinches. But great
good must necessarily result from a
union of Christian sentiment and
affection, contemplated in thelett er
of the Southern Bishops, between
tliosejwho are one in doctrine, and
whom the abolition fanaticism of the
North have estranged.

An Extra Session of Congress.—
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette says that late dis
patches, received in that city by the
government, leaves no room to doubt
an imminent and wide-spread revolu
tion in Mexico. There is no reason
to believe that our Government has any
policy jn view of anarchy there. Our
foreign relations are in such critical
condition all around, and the members'
of the Cabinet so much at variance that
it is not unlikely that the President wiy
call Congress together by the first of
August.

A Ball ? An A-bom-i-na-tiox !”—We fear
onr excellent friend of tho Bainbridge Argus is
inclined to be a 1 ttle fanatical. He is in great
distress and his moral sense shocked, we tear,
almost beyond the curative powers of the “balm
of Gilead,” by a little occurrence that tookplace
in his town recently, and which, be fears, will
be set down against her by both //eaven and
earth. It seems’thaton tin occasion ofa'Sunday
School picn c, which was participated in by the
people, young and old, from all the neighboring
and railroad towns, a few young gentlemen and
ladies, at tho close of tho regular exercises,
concluded to “have a little dance,” whereupon
our contemporary fulminates as follows:
Disbeputablis.—We learn that during the

wherein the mere exercise and amusement o 1

all tho saints and sages have accomplished

who have stood strll and even cherished the

amusement at the preseut day, but wc have
never yet seen a man .smart enough to assign a
sensible reason for the discrimination. The
