‘•Darkening Counsel 7 ’—The Re*
ligion of ihe Bible.
Oar contemporary of the Savannah
Itepnbiican still persists in lecturing us,
Bells, theatres and such like places of
carnal resort are from the devil, and
only corrupt, debase and destroy all that
is beautiful, lovely sad pare in the heart
and mind.
Heaven! this is the goal of every man
of sense, who is a man; and he is willing
to bear the cross before he wean the
crown of the nnivenc, as an heir of the
Lord Jehovah.
We are For the Negro.
We have not been able, from the first
oggitation of the subject of the importa
tion of foreign labor, to see its feasibil-
in his Sunday morning issue, on the i >ty or importance to ns. The negro is
subject of practical Christianity; and in ! already here, is acquainted fully with
pointing out our faults in spiritual mat- j OOT system of farming, our products,
ten he deems it equally his duty to array j "oil, and is as thoroughly adapted to our
the ministry generally before his j n dg- climate, to our unhealthy bottoms and
mcnt-Beat. He insists that “sinnen'
men of “the world,” to instruct and save
whom the ministerial office was ordained,
are the best judges of the avenues to
their own hearts and convictions, and
therefore may teach their teachers how
they are to teach them. And, hence,
he, as a sinner or man of the world, (so
we understand his logic) avails himself
of the prerogative his sinfal, unrenewed
natcre affords him, to enlighten those
whom God has commissioned to en
lighten sinners so that they may be more
successful in enlightening him and his
companions in iniquity. We do not
propose to controvert this point with
him farther than to remind him that the
Scriptures represent the sinner, morally,
as dead and buried, lost, rained, in
darkness, a child of wrath, fallen, wretch
ed, miserable, poor, blind and naked—
to rescue whom nothing loss than the
sacrifice of the Son of God could, in
anywise, prove availing.
But we are not engaged in controver
sy; we only wish to disabuse the mind
of the editor of the .Republican, and
convince him of his errors, without
elaboration or engaging in minute de
tails, which we deem unnecessary to the
accomplishment of our purpose. Chris
tianity can be embraced in a dozen
words, os well as a thousand volumes; or
be discussed so as to meet all the re
quirements of the occasion, whether in
few or «Muy words. Ordinarily, the
lees that is said in a 4wcaasion with one
who does not understand the subject,
the better.
"©or•main object in this article is to
vindicate a former article, and present
•the character of religion more fully be
fore the mind of our friend. We stated
that it was absurd to suppose that a
child of.God could take pleasure in ball
rooms, theatres, and such places of car-
nil amusement; and that man’s only
business on earth is to recover from
the fall, and make his way to heaven.—
In commenting on these declarations,
the editor of the Republican says some
things which we endorse, but in the
most .that he says he is as “the blind
leading the blind,” never having him
self experienced the truth of what he
says. He advocates a carnal Christianity,
a mixing up of religion and irreligion—
the world, the flesh and the devil,
with a modicum of devotion to Christ as
a kind of spice to season the whole, so
as to render it more palatable to sinners,
compounded together, and labelled
* ‘rational religion. 7 ’ This dish he sets
before us os a substitute for the “repul
sive and melancholy” religion commend
cd to the public by ministers and people
now-a-days, who want God to have all
the heart His compound can be taken
by any one at any honr of the day or
night without nausea or unpleasant sen
sation of any kind. Sinners, especially
respectable and decent sinners, naturally
take to it like green flies to a dead car
cass. Seif-denials, cross-bearing, watch
ing and praying lest ye enter into temp
tation, growth in grace, pilgrimage from,
this world to that which is to come,
pressing toward the mark,, family pray
er, extempore prayer, and constant com
munion with God—all these and much
more of kin Ired import are excluded
from the Republican’s disb, as too mel
nneholy and grave-yardish to suit the
demand of tfia times.
But this dish, sure as you live, friend,
lias been gotten up in conformity to a
*■ recipe furnished by the great enemy of
God and man, and can afford no nourish
ment whatever for the soul. And we
would warn you and others from par
taking of it: for it is but the feast of
death.
But the religion of the Bible is quite
a different thing from this. It is rep
resented as a gushing mountain; a shin
ing city, with jasper walls and pearly
gates and golden streets; a pearl of great
price; a star; a crown; a kingdom. Its
beauties and loveliness and grandeur
are beyond description—its joys are un
speakable and full of glory. It fills np
•the full measure of our capacities, satis
fies every craving, dissipates every cloud,
dries every tear, heals every wound,
.hides us in the clefted rock, and shields
ns from the windy storm and tempest.
It embraces every want, covers every
interest, and renders every employment
a means of spiritual prosperity and ad
vancement in the divine life. “Whether
we eat or drink, or whatever we do, it is
all done to the glory of God.” Henee,
our only business is to recover from the
fall, and make our way to heaven, as
every occupation will contribute thereto.
But the religion of the Bible can only
be embraced in the first {dace, by an
entire consecration of our all to God,
and can be retained and eqjoyed there
after alone by a continuouaconsecration
to the end of our glorious and happy
life. The Christina alone is happy, and
no one can be a Christian, who does not
give np the world, the lust of the flesh,
.the lust of the eye and the ppde of life,
,l.bj faith, fail into God its into a
j abyss.. 1
rice plantations as the gopher is to the
barren sand hills. And, besides, he is
a negro—the very creature the Almighty
intended for a servant; and one good,
sleak, well disciplined negro, in our
view, is worth a dozen white foreigners,
as an agricultural laborer.
With our present views and honest
convictions, we believe a man either
has to be a fool or a knave to favor ne
gro suffrage or negro office-holding; but
it is the dictate of the sheerest common
sense to prefer the negro to all others as
a servant and worker, except in the me
chanical arts.
We repeat, we are for the negro, and
we want the agricultural sections of the
South full of them. Their demoraliza
tion caused by Yankee teaching and in
termeddling, will soon be spent for the
want of something to feed on; and when
this period comes, the negro will become
a negro and the white man a white
man, and both together, will live and
thrive as master and servant to the end
of time.
The Crops.—We do not feel au
thorized to make as^favorable a re
port of the crops this week as we did
last. The protracted rains have com
pelled farmers to abandon toeir bot
tom lands onaccount of the saturated
and miry condition of the soil. The
grass, too, is getting the mastery in
many instances, especially where gu
ano has been used,
cottcn look well and are growing
rapidly, but the fields that erewhile
looked so clean, nro beginning to
present a coat of grass, which in
creases every day, threatening injury
to the crops. Wo are having much
ra>.n in this locality, but we learn it
is not the case generally. We hear
occasionally reports of the appear
ance of the caterpillar in some fields
hereabouts.
Rich Durr.—The Atlanta Intelligen
cer of Sunday says: “On Friday, CoL
AH»ir sold a farm of seventy acres in
Clayton county for $475 per acre, cash.
J. C. Parkinson, Esq., has been nom
inated by the Democrats to represent
the 3rd Congressional District of Ala
bama. He came from Ohio three years
ago, and settled in Alabama.
James Watson Webb, that ineffable
bladder, has left hia post aa American
minister to Brazil, because the diplo
matic proceedings didn’t suit his pomp
ous self-importance. He is more florid
than a mahogany-stock pistol.
Akother Homicide in MerriwRther.
We regret to hear, says the Griffin Star,
of another killing scrape, * few days
since, near Rocky Mount. Mr. illiana
Britton shot and instantly killed one of
his neighbors named Lapsey. It ap
pears that Britton, on a rainy day last
only mislead the people, dishearten
many, and set others on the track of an
ignis fa tutu, which they will never
reach. It makes hypocrites and infidels
of sensible Clmreh members, and con
firms sinners in their sins. God says,
“Be ye perfect," »nd yet is it possible
Gov. Bullock will, we learn, says the
Atlanta Constitution, of the 10th, call
the Legislature together on the 7th of
Jnly. By that time the impeachers will
be ready to prefer, charges against
him.
A writer in the Albany News
thinks we have good reason to be
lieve that the catterpillar will not
make its appearance among the cot
ton this year, and says the grass'*
worm and cottop-worm do not pro
produce each other, but are distinct
species.
The Columbus Bar have passed reso
lutions complimentary of the distin
guished ability of Judge Edward H.
Worrell, displayed in bis administration
of the laws of the Chattahoochee Judi
cial Circuit for more than fourteen years
Judge Worrell has been removed by
Bullock and Ex-Pro. Gov. James John
son appointed in his place.
Hon. Henry J. Raymond, editor of
the New York Times, a distinguished
politician and au able writer, though
lacking in moral courage, died in that
city on the morning of the 18th instant,
of apoplexy.
A dispatch received on Wednesday
last, by Major Albert Boos, of this city,
from Jefferson, Texas, announces the
death of hia brother, Charles E. Ross,
io that place on Sunday last. His re-
Both corn an.d j mains left Jefferson on the 14th. in
charge of his wife, (daughter of Dr. L.
F. W. Andrews,) for interment in Rose
Hill Cfemetery, in this city, and may be
expected by Sanday or Monday next.
Due notice will be given of arrival and
hour of interment.—Macon Messengei-,
18th instant.
Death of Ma|. P. C. Pendleton.
We published in our last issue that
this gentleman, the editor of the
South Georgia Times, had been
thrown from his buggy and sustained
thereby serious injuries, from which
sanguine hopes were entertained that
he would recover. But those hopes
were not realized—he died at 2£
o’clock on the morning of the 19th
instant; the injuries were inflicted on
the I5th, after sunset, from which ha
died, having remained in an uncon
scious state since the fatal accident.
We formed the acquaintance of
Maj. Pendleton in 1837, and have
ever esteemed him for his many no
ble qualities. In his death, a great
calamity has befallen our section, and
tbe editorial fraternity has lost one
of its brightest ornaments, and socie
ty an inestimable and leading mem
ber. We deplore his demise, and the
circumstances connected with it.
Death, in the mildest form is ever an
unwelcome visitor to those we love ;
but when he encroaches upon us in a
moment and by nnwonted violence,
his presence crushes ns to the earth.
His bereaved and sticken family
have our sincerest condolence ; and
we beseech them to accept it all as
from the hands of God, who is "too
wise to err, and too good to be un
kind.”
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of
man, the things which God hath pre
pared for them that love him.”
A Fast Chau.—A travelling corres
pondent of tbe Savannah Republican
writes from Bainbridge, Ga.:
Yesterday Mr. W. E. Rutherford took
me out to ride in a buggy drawn by one
of the finest mares I ever saw. She is
beautiful, and has often made a mile in
two minutes and twenty-six seconds,
with a buggy.
Mr. Rutherford has a fortune in his
mare. Mountain Boy, Lady Thorn,
American Girl, and others of tlio fastest
trotters on the turf, have not marked
that time to sulkies during the present
season. A horse that can go in two
twenty-six to a buggy, over an ordinary
road, will bring bis weight in green
backs in New York.—Columbus Sun.
Jefferson Davis.—Wo regret to
learn that a dispatch, received at Mon
treal on June 12th, by Mr. lloWell, fi\>m
Paris, announces the health of Jefferson
Davis as extremely precarious. At one
time, recently, his life was dispaired of.
It is the purpose of Mr. Davis, if he
lives, to visit Canada during the sum
mer, and to spend the following winter
among his old friends in the State of
Mississippi. We trust that a long life
is yet in store for him.
Chief Justice Chase’s OriNioN.—
The National Intelligencer says: “A
letter from Chief Justice Chase, received
in Washington, gives a flattering ac
count of the improved condition of S.
Carolina. lie says the people are fast
recuperating from the effects of the war,
and, if permitted, would soon be thriv
ing and prosperous. He and his daugh
ter have been treated everywhere with
the greatest respect and kindness.”
Mount with him. Tbe invitation was
accepted, and while there a good deal
of whiskey was consumed. Lapsey be
came quarrelsome, and had several lit—
£1® fusses, being evidently much beside
himself with liquor. Britton finally got
him into the boggy aud started home,
when suddenlv'Lapscy fell upon Britton
with a large knife, cutting him several
times, whereupon Britton jumped out
of the buggy, drew hia pistol, aud shot
Lapsey dead. There was no previous
difficulty between the men. This is the
tale as told to us. We suppose this is
another of King Alcohol’s tragedies.
A Lovely Collector.—The Sumter
Republican gives us an item which
should go far to reconcile the people of
that District to paying their taxes :
Miss Sallie R. Banks, of this city, has
recaived the appointment of Deputy
Collector of Internal Revenue for this
Collection District, comprising the coun
ties of Macon, Schley, Sumter and
Webster.
Miss Banks, we learn, is intelligent
and well-informed. She has been en
gaged for some time in this city in
teaching the young ideas of African
juveniles how to shoot, being origin
ally from tbe village of starry Griffin.
Suicide.—“We learn that a most
shocking suicide occurred at Bonesville,
in Columbia county, yesterday morning.
It appears tbat a gentleman by the name
of Walker, had a little qnarrel with his
wife at breakfast on yesterday, daring the
coarse of which the husband got np and
left the house, saying to his wife he
would go down to the mill and remain
until she recovered her temper. He
walked down to the mill, which was but
a short distance off bnt had not been
there long when one of his children
came running from the house and told
him that her mother had killed herself.
Returning to his home, Mr. Walker
found his wife lying on the floor in a
pool of blood, dead. She had cut ha
throat from ear to ear with a razor.”
The foregoing, which we copy from
the Augusta Chronicle ami /Sentinel of
the 17th inst, should serve as a solemn
warning to fault-finding husbands and
wives. If harmony and affection should
prevail in any one place on this earth
more than another, it certainly is under
the ’ homestead roof amidst the family
circle. A man capable of engaging in a
quarrel with his wife, in our view, is the
lowest and most detestable type of fallen
and debased humanity that society has
ever produced, provided he possesses
sufficient intelligence to appreciate
prqperiytlie magnitude of his offence.

Great Loss in Weight or Cotton,
—The Columbus (Ga.) Sun says : “One
of the most prominent commission mer
chants in Columbus read us a letter
from a cotton foctor in New York, which
showed that seventeen bales of cotton
between Columbus and New York had
lost 470 pounds in weight, an average
of 27.95 pounds per bai. One bale lost
80 pounds, another 60, and so on. Tbe
writer added, the cotton was so/d at an
advance of 3£ cents ; yet on account of
the loss in weight, the sale brought
him in loser $93.20, not considering
commissions and interest. The same
merchant shipped a lot of 108 bales to
Savannah. On arrival at that point the
difference in the weight of the lot was
700 pounds, worth at the price paid
$200, which is lost to somebody. It is
evident there is some stealing going on.
Another thing is plain, and all ought
to know it, for it has been impressed
upon them often enough—that it will
pay farmers to completely cover their
bales with strong bagging, and that it
is to the benefit of shippers to have the
[From the Sav. Republican.
Preaching that Darkens Coun
sel.
We have had something to say on
this subject already, viewing the matter
both from a Christian and “worldly”
standpoint And just here we beg leave
to say that it is a great mistake to sup
pose that men not professedly of the
Church are incompetent to give a sen
sible and safe opinion as to the best
mode of discharging the duties of the
Christian ministry. The ministry is in
tended for the world, not so mnch for
the Church. Ill's “sinners,” not the
“righteous,” tbat are to be called to re
pentance, and it is reasonable to snp.
pose that all men know best the avenues
to their own hearts and convictions.
The ‘world,’ therefore, judges of preach
ing by its effect upon itself, and the
rule is a very good one.
Begging the reader to pardon this
digression, we have a few more sugges
tions to make on the faults of modern
preaching, embracing not only the sub
jects treated of, but also the doctrines
advanced as scriptural and rational.
And we find a text ready to hand, in a
secular paper ’tistrue, but one edited by
a most worthy and pious, hut we con
tend in some respects overzealous and
misguided, Christian gentleman. We
quote as follows:
“To suppose that a child of God, ‘who
is buried with Christ by baptism into
death,’ can lake pleasure in the light
and foolish amusements of an ungodly
world, is si.-nply an absurdity ; and we
are surprised that any one who ever
read a page in the Bible c uld believe
hail rooms, theatres, and such places of
carnal amusement to be in consonance
with that spirit of heavenly minded
ness and Christian purity inculcated in
every chapter and verse of the holy
book of God. ‘If any man love the
world the love of tbe Father is not in
him,’ »ays our Law-giver.
* * * “Man’s only business on
earth is to recover from the fall and
make his way to heaven.”
It is by just such preaching 3s this that
the world is driven from the Chuich,
and the Church itself demoralized. It
is an irrational construction of the Holy
Scriptures, unnatural and impossible,
and making Christ and His Apostles to
say what they never meant. Religion
is a reasonable thing, adapted to men
of flesh and blood, desires, passions aud
emotions, and if its primitive teachers
sometimes spoke figuratively, they were
eminently men of common sense who
understood well tbe nature of men and
the means of grace. Christianity does
not change the nature of men. It
purifies and ennobles it, fitting it for a
rational and pleasurable indulgence c-f
tbe faculties given by the Creator. It
does not take men from the world, bnt
leaves them in it, to enjoy its fruitB and
pleasures, but with moderation and cir
cumspection that never allow encroach
ments on Christian duty. It is, there
fore, the abuse of worldly pleasures,
excessive indulgence in the enjoyments
of sense, to tbe destruction of. health,
God’s greatest earthly gift, and lo tbe
exclusion of sacred things that should
ever have their due and appointed place
in the affections of men. There is
nothing gloomy in Christianity, and
nothing that prevents a rational enjoy
ment of the pleasures of the world.
“There is a time for all things;” says
the Good Book.—a time for the duties
and pleasures of life, as well as for the
solemn concerns of eternity. It is de
votion to the world to the exclusion of
higher duties and affections, that
Christianity condemns. The Scriptures
everywhere enjoin a proper attention to
one’s worldly affairs, and nowhere con
demn the enjoyment of rational amuse
ment. God did not pot us into the.
world with the faculties we possess to
be moping, melancholy creatures, with
every breath a sigh, and the mind for
ever fixed npon death, the winding
sheet, the coffin, the grave, tbe solemn
realities of tbe hereafter. What would
this world he if nothing else was
thought of, if the pall of gloom were
drawn over the whole pathway of life,
aud if the duties and pleasures of the
world had nobody to perform and en-
j-»y them } It is a grievous mistake to
say that man’s only duty in life is to
“make his way to Heaven.” Tbat may
be tbe greatest, but there are others in
no wise connected with .either Heaven
or hell.'and which he was pat here to
perform.
“Pray without ceasing,*' yet who sup
poses that the Almighty expects people
to do nothing in this life but pray ?
Tbe true doctrine is, that there is a
time for all things—a time to mourn
and a time to dance, a time to laugh
and a time to weep, and thus the great
sum of human life is made up with ref
erence both to this world and the
world to come. Let the ministry cease
their war upon tbe innocent pursuits
and amusements that add to the hap
piness of God’s creatures in this state of
probation.
Let them preach virtue, honesty,
charily, temperance, the doing unto
others as we would have thorn do r.n-
to us. Let them hold up the beauties
as well as tbe burthens of the Cross,
teach gratitude for all God’s worldly
gifts, and a wise moderation in their
enjoyment. Let them do this and il
lustrate their teachings by their lives,
and the world will soon grow wiser and
better than it is. This eternal preach
ing against things which men’s reason
teaches them are not wrong, so com
mon now a-days, i3 a prostitution of
the holy office that diverts the rciud
from the weightier duties of Christian
life, and repels the world that must be
attracted in order to be saved.

COLBURN’S PATEST
RED JACKET AXE
Is better than our regular shaped Axes for these
reasons: First—It cuts deeper.-Second—It don't
stick in the wood. Third—It does not jar the
band. Fourth—No time is wasted io taking the
axe out of tbe cut. Fifth—With the same labor
you will do one-third more work than with the
regular axes, lied paint has nothing to do with
the good qualities of this axe, for all our axes
are painted red. If your hardware store does
not keep our goods, we will gladly answer in
quiries or fill your orders, or give you the name
of the nearest dealer who keeps our Axes.
