in the premises as he deems necessary
to a proper understanding of their
duties and calling. They should con
fine themselves strictly to moral ques
tions, clearly defined, such as '‘Thou
eh Alt not steal ”—"thou shall n:U bear
- fain vciUmt against thy neighbor,” and
not go out of their way to denounce
customs and imnsemenis that no moral
law can be found to condemn, namely ;
dancing, theatre-going, &<• (fee., for by
inveighing against these “innocent
Customs, they destroy their influence
and claims upon the confidence of many
“sensible people.”
Our contemporary seems to ho aiming
tight, and, to tbe eye of ibe uninitiated,
is a tafe and reliable counselor; but he
hits wide of the mark. The very prac
lice* ho would hare the ministry wink
at are really the most fruitful sources
of the wide spread dcmoralizaiion of
which he speaks, and which he would
have remedied. Gross sins, which are
indulged by the self-abandoned and
reckloss, are not the evils to bo regard
ed as specially elaiining tbo attention of
- the reformer. The most of the drunk
ards wc see staggering through our
streets, wholly lost to shame and self-
reproach, first acquired a taste for
strong drink at the fashionable party,
where the wine cup was freely indulged
rs an innocent beverage. And so an
investigation into the causes of oilier
departures from the path of virtue and
religion will disclose the same truth,
that in a large majority of instances
the ball-room, theatre, circus-ring or
other places of amusement sowed tbe
seed’s which produced' a harvest of sin,
and shame, and eternal ruin.
Pure religion, that which alone can
save the soul, is from God, and so thor
oughly changes the heart and mind
that “old things pass away, and all
things become new.” “Tbe Spirit itself
biJareih witness with our spirit that we
are the childrenof God”—yea, “created
nr.ow in Christ Jesus.” We are now
\ made to “rejoice with joy- unspeakable
and full of glory.” To suppose that a
child of God, “who is buried with Christ
by baptism into death,” can take pleas
ure in the light and foolish amusements
of an ungodly world, is simply an ab-.
surdity; and wc are surprised that any
one who ever road a page in the Bible
could believe ball-rooms, theatres, and
such places of carnal aiimsement lo be
In consonance with that spirit of heav
enly mindednesa and Christian purity
inculcated in every chapter and verse of
the holy b -ok of God. “If any man
*’ love the world the love of the Father is
not in him,” says our Law-giver.
We believe, with our contemporary,
that great responsibility rests upon, not
only ministers, but the entire member
ship of the Christian Church, in regard
to the deliverance of our country and
people from the demo.alization that
pervades all ranks of society; aud it is
evidently our first duty to acquire that
moral power which the magnitude of
the work before us demands, and which
alone can be secured by a'consecration
of our souls and bodies to God and
religion.
In what wc have said-on this subject
we have had special reference to pro
fessed Christians, and not to people of
the world. Nor have we indulged in
mere speculation: wc know that wc

if any remedy can be applied, it must
be done before the black-eyed fly can

The oq!y remedy that seems practica

A Visit to Colquitt.
W6 visited this importantlittle village,
on the 5th instant, to attend the 2nd
Quarterly Conference for ColqnitUCt., in
company with Rev. Geo. C. Clarke, P.
E. We met with a hospitable reception
and were the recipient of many acts of
kindness daring onr stay. The sermon
on Saturday morning, preached by Rev.
Mr. Clarke, was an cxcelleut discourse;
very practical and convincing, and was
well received by the audience. On
Sunday morning, at 11 o’clock, the Pre
siding Elder again preached, aud his
congregatioruwas one of the largest we
have ever seen in this section of the
State. His subject was the prediction
of Isaiah of the ultimate triumph of
Christianity throughout the earth; a?td
the able and e’oqnent speaker completely
enchained his hearers for an hour or
more, in the delivery of a sermon ne one
in the State could surpass.
Colqnitt represents a fine agricultural
region, and is thought to be very heal-^
thy. Should the Cuthbert railroad pass
throngh it, we know of nothing to pre
vent its doing a heavy business, and
competing—egemfnHy with neighboring
villages.
The Growittg Crops.
During the past week we have been
blessed with a warm sun and frequent
delightful showers, and from all qnar
ters we have favorable reports of the
growing crops. We do not kuow a
farmer who does uot regard the pros
pect, provided the caterpillar and
lx>ll-worin do not destroy the cotton,
as eminently flat'enng.
From our personal observation, and
constant ’ enquiry among the best
planters in this section, we are com
pelled to regard the unfavorable re
ports respecting the crops in this
region of the State as unreliable, and
probably made to affect ihe price of
produce, either at home or abroad.
There is no appearance of cater
pillar or boll-worm in Decatur coun
ty that we have heard of, nor do the
reports horn other counties, of the
presence of tlicsc dreaded foes,
amount to much more lliau an appre
hension thnt they will appear this sea
son earlier than usual, and, hence, do
greater damage to the cotton. Thus
far, however, neiiher worm or other
destroying agencies have done auy
thing to blast the prospers of the
planter. All species of crops are do
ing well, and promise an abundant
harvest, Some fields of choice cotton
we are informed, will more than av
erage knee-high, and some Btalks al
ready have eighteen and more squares
upon them. We also hear of cotton
blooms.
Corn will soon be made. A few
good seasons of rain, and this crop
will prove equal tor that of any year
within the List decade.
The only trouble now is an appre
hension of the early ravages of the
caterpillar aud boll-worm ; but this
may prove grounuless. Let us hope
for the best. “Sufficient ante the day
is the evil ther -f.” ... _

A Friend to the Confederacy.—It
is not generally known that Spain was a
strong sympathizer with the “Lost
Cause,” and especially that she at one
time ordered steps to be taken for active
hostilities against the North; yet My,
Secretary Perry, of the Anvjriean Lega
tion at My-Aral, so states in a recent
letter. He says: “The desire of Spain
to divide the country was so great in
1863, that the government of that coun

With the exception of a alight deflection in
reaching Culquitt, the county site of Millc, fur
which many substantia! reasons arc adduced, we
predict the route will be almost as the croiv flies.

Now while we heartily wish tha* every town

grand links in the highway to the West, by giv"

may be destroyed in the same way, and ; imoa3,
at the same time. Let the citizens of
every district, or neighborhood, hold
meetings every two weeks, at some con
venient point; let each one report his
discovery, and suggest the best plan by
which this fly can be destroyed. Let
every farmer look well for tbe green-
eyed fly. When it appears, let all begin
to bnild these fires; this is the time to
destroy the caterpillar: for if one waits
until the black-eyed fly appears, then
he had better begin to make arrange
ments to compromise bis debts.
The time to look for the fly, is a little
after snuset; if there are any in the field
they can be seen very busy around the
cotton plants. They arc apt to appear t,on ‘
first on the low parts of land in the field.
The time to build the fires, is about
sunset, or soon enough to have them
burning well by dark. Build very small
fires about ten yards apart in every
eighth or tenth row. Be careful not to
have the fires too large; in that case,
the fly would be driven away by tbe ex
cessive beat.
This plan of building fires to destroy
the caterpillar is not a new one; it has
l>een tried by some, with .what success I
know not; but, I thlnk^jf the plan
could be generally adopted, it would
prove beneficial. I Lave seen tbe greeu-
eyed fly, and now is tbe time for every
farmer to be on the look out for it, and
as soon as it appears, build-his fires if
no better plan can be introduced. This
plan costf no money, and very little, la-'
bor; aud may save the cotton crop—and
all know the importance of saving this
crop of cotton. p. O. J.

From Slitchcll County.
Messrs. Editors :—I uoticeiu your last
issue, that you seem to thiuk that re
ports concerning the caterpillar have
been much exaggerated. I hope they
have; and I also hope there may be a
large crop of cotton made this year; but
the indications are. that the caterpillar
will soon appear, and there will bp but
little cotton made. I do not write in
this way to discourage nny one; neither
do I put this forth as aprophecy; I only
wish to give my opinion on this all-im
portant subject, as to the operations of
the caterpillar, its origin, d;c., aud the
best mode of its destruction. Tbe boll
worm has already appeared, and isdoing
considerable damage. I counted in my
field, to-day, eleven forms on one stalk
of cotton, that had been perforated and
Williams, near Tallahassee, had been
stripped of its leaves by the caterpillar.
The following letter to us from Col.
Williams, not only contradicts the re
port as a baseless fabrication, but speaks
cheeriugly of the cotton aud corn crops
in Leon:
Tai.i.aiiasse-, Juno 1st, ISM.
Mr. Editor :—I was shown, to day, a piece
taken from your paper, beaded “Tbo Caterpil
lar,” that if I were to allow to go uncorrected
would give a false impression as to tho condi
tion of cott n crops’ in our county. You allude
to having beard of a field of400 acres of cotton,
on one of my places, as having been ruined by
the dreadful scourge ; “and so great bad been
lire havoc that barely 400 stalks remained on
the 409 acres.” IIow this rumor could have
been spread, I am at a loss to know—certainly
from do expression of mine—for, ou the contra
ry, on many hundred acres of cotton, that I
have planted. I have not seen two stalks that
have been in any way touched. I did see. sev
eral weeks ago, a single caterpil.ar that I
bought to be the genuine cotton worm ; but
friends pronounce it to be simply tho gras3
worm. The fly has been seen by several, but
with such seasons as we are now having, little
i r no injury can be done by them. What is in
store for us, later in the season, I am ut able to
say—but at tbe present our county never pre
sented a brighter future for a good yic'd ol
corn and cotton.
Trusting that you will make the necessary
correction in your pa er, at least, so far as tbe
mentioning of my crops arc involved,
I am yours, Ac .
JOS JOHN WILLIAMS.
In the location ol the proposed route, indi
vidual interests and oven the wishes of entire
communities should be' ignored, if in conflict
i'h tbe grand design sought to bo accomplish
ed, which is the fair remuneration of the st-ck
holders, and the highest good of the greatest
numbtr concerned.
It should bo remembered, atso, that an active
competition will exist between the Albany and
Thninasville Road, and that under review, anil
it is of the last impor'ance that eur Hoad should
run as far East as possible, in order that it may
contend successfully for the produce of the rich
tract of country, which will bo. as it wero, debat
able ground for Loth on'erprises. To travel fa'
away from that region and almost within sound
of the steam whistles on tbe Chattahoochee,
simply to go by the county *rte of Early, j?
asking too much at the hands of tbo projectors
of the Road. They could better afford t buy
tbe town oi Blakely and let the inhabitants
build anew in some morqconvenicnt site.
While we do not therefore attach tbe least
blame to our Early friends for wishing tbe Road
to pass by their doors, we are not witli ut hope
that when the inexpediency of the step is made
evident to them, they wiil in that event aban
don their attitude of quad hostility to the ctif-te
und -rtaking, and join heart and hand in the
werk of construction.
Even though it docs not run directly through
the centre of the county, the benefits derived
fr in the RAad will ho almost inea’culaide.
Sinking individual pr feretices as to route
etc., etc., tbe people of this region sh-uld unite
as one man and push forward to completion this
important enterprise.
Is better ‘ r:: our regular shaped Axes f ir these
reasons: First— It cots deeper. Second—It don’t
stick in the wood. Third—It dues nut jar tho
hand. Fourth—No time is wasted in taking the
axe out of the cut. Fifth—With the same labor
you will do one-third more work than with the
regular axes. Red paint has nothing to do with
the good qualities oc this axe. for all onr axes
are painted red. If your hardwire store does
notieep our goods, we will gladly answer in
quiries or fill your orders, or give you the untuc
of the nearest dealer who keeps onr Axes.
