88- TURN WOLD, GA., DECEMBER 8, 1862. “Our Close Communion Baptist Friends.” A correspondent, at tlie close of his let ter, says, “ I hope you will give our close cummunion Baptist friends an occasional notice.” In reply to this, I will say what I have often said before—that I agree with no sect whatever, in all things, but agree with the Baptists in as many things as with any 7 other denomination. Those, then, who hope to see, as a special feature of this journal, attacks upon any particular de nomination, will be sorely disappointed. I believe there are errors in all denomit a- tions, as I know there are virtues in all. In the Baptists, though differing with them with reference to theii views of baptism and church communion, I see many things to admire. I particularly admire their form of church government, their love of liberty and independence, and their firm and unyielding adhesion to what they 7 believe to be principle. As a denomina tion, I like them very much, in many things—particularly the Hardshell por tion of the family 7 , as I have often taken occasion to testify. If anybody thinks, then, that I am going to make any special war on Baptists, I repeat it, he will be sore ly disappointed. I allowed uncle Jimmy Dai.ielly the use of my 7 columns to show lip some of the foibles of the Methodists— (and he stirred them up smartly, too)—and my Baptist brethren very much enjoyed the treal, as they frequently testified. If they themselves should be stirred up, occa sionally, I know they will be too magnan imous to complain. I know not to wliat. sect my correspond ent belongs, except that lie is not a Bap-, tist. To whatever sect be may be attached, either nominally, or in creed—let him look out. His time will surely come, some day or other. Wliat Mr. Stephens Said. The Augusta Constitutionalist says: We are authorised to say 7 that Mr. Ste phens, in his recent speech at Sparta, Ga., did not urge the planting largely of cotton. On the contrary, he urged the importance of raising targe crops of grain, v hile the war lasted—not only for home consump tion, but, also, to feed the army. The clothing, shoeing, and feeding of our men in the field, was the object of Mr. Stephens’s address at Sparta,as well as that in Oglethorpe County, on Wednesday last: and he then declared that the supplying of the army was the first and highest duty of the countryman. every patriot. In relation to our foreign policy, the idea of some, that we should abandon the growth of cotton, in order to force onr recognition abroad, was, in his judgment, a radical and fundamental error, as he believed cotton to be one of our chief elements of power—not political,but commercial: but we should first see to it, that our provision crop is ample for \ome and army consumption : and when that is secured, the more cotton we plant the better.” A D VERTISEM ENTS.
