Whilst several survive, alv .-oe remains in connection with tliis Churdt. Xiie first elders were Samuel B. Hunter and fathew Uobcrtsoa, wlio were ordained on the 4th day of Octobfr, 1827. Judge Hunter is ell known and highly esteemed in this com •unity. For many years he has been an elder ill ; esda Church, in Monroe county, about . i .;r. miles from this city. Map Robertson was • of the most valuable men the Presbyterian ' Uurch ever had in Georgia. His lather was a . u; i r of the Baptist Church; he had, there- tc, no early Presbyterian training or predi- . . ..s. Eocoming interested in the subject of r c a i religion, after a careful study cf the • U. r it denominational standards, he embraced i- iVg-bytcrian system, and united with the < Korea in Macon in the April before his ordi- i -'•‘ion :o the Eldership.

He was a man of strong mind, of much intelligence, of clear and decided convictions of religious truth, of activ benevolence, and of unostentatious but impres- site piety. He was calletl to his reward on the 22d of Nov. 1853, ageil 65 years. His surviving family remains in tho congregation. Ten years after the organization of the Church, a larger and more attractive house of worship was rendered desirable, by the increasing con gregation and the advanced taste of the commu nity, and the cigigregation resolved to build a second time. The house we to-day leave, built at a heavy expense, and at the time much in ad vance of the other Church edifices of the city and surrounding country, wasVoinpletcd and opened for worship in the year 1837. The ad vantage from the new edifice, however, was out weighed by the heavy debt it entailed on the congregation; which was not entirely removed licfore the changes which had taken place in the city, had made the propriety of building a third time in a more eligible spot a subject ofi sion. The inconvenience and disadvantage its location, wc have all sensibly experienced ring the six years past. In November 1886, Rev. Samuel J. Cassels was elected pastor. He entered upon his du ties early in 18?7. His ministry to the cliurcli continued a little more than three years; du ring the continuance of which there was an ac cession of seventy-two white mem'iers—thirty- two on examination and forty on certificate— and, as’nearly as ran Ik- ascertained, forty-one colored members. Mr. Cassels was a native of Liberty county. He made a profession of religion in his early youth, and his attention was soon after direct ed to the ministry.

The subjoined is the introductory paragrap! to an article in the New York Tribune, of the l ltb, wherein Mr. Horace Greeley undertakes to apportion out the blame due to tho recent fail ure at “fusion,” between the “American” and “ Black Republican” parties of the State of New York. Mr. Greeley is disappointed, and he says thc “great mass of voters” feel no better about, and sec no reason for, it; but they dearly see, “ it was an affrir no/ of principles, but of men.” great exponent and organ of political abo litionism in the United States, asserts as a clear ly recognised fact on all sides, that there was no difference in principle between the Black Re publicans and the “American” party of New- York, and yet, our cooperative organs in Geor gia, who go for “ combining all the dements of opposition,” are fearfully exercised over the Dem ocratic dissentions in Illinois, and thc “ Squat ter Sovereignty” of Douglas! From the New York Tribune of the 1-tth instant. The failure to form a common Opposition ticket at Syracuse is not easily comprehended by the great mass of the voters. They cannot perceive any adequate reason for their disappointment and thc hazard it involves. That it was an af fair not princplcs' but of men, they dearly see; but what men are at thc bottom of the difficiilty, doth not so plainly appear. And the American leaders—who have in their ranks quite as many and as hearty adversaries of “fusion” as the Re publicans, and would have furnished quite as many votes against it had one been effected— __ busily exciting t _ the whole blame on thc Republicans and repre senting it as the result of ddiberate bad fatli on the part of the latter. This is unjust, and ren ders necessary an expose of the secret influences which controlled the progress and termination of thc Syracuse diplomacy. t well jj> urn i New Y giving it the ^ ffiouslv mistfll Mr. Hooker was a native of Springfield Mass., - from the words “He loveth the gates of Zion v "'~ c-n,,— lie came to the more than all the dwellings of Jacob.” In thc the friends of education in his native county.— | was a Christian oCgreat meekness and praycrfiil- He graduated at Franklin College, in 1828, and 1 ness—a fine scholar, with severely simple hut and a plduate of Yale College.

Telegraph says:—In con versation last week with a gentleman who has very recently traveled over nearly the whole cot ton growing section of the United State, lie ox pressed thc opinion that if present prospects are certified, the crop will be beyond all precedent in quantity.. The idea of a deficit of 400,000 bales in the south-west, resulting from high wa ter, he considered altogether delusive, and main tained that he had been in no county of that section where present anticipations did not fix thc quantity of cotton grown above what could be gathered. The com crop everywhere was more than abundant. Mississippi, September 11, 1858, Editor of Telegraph, Macon, Ga. Dear Sir: I clip the enclosed from Moore's ural New Yorker, and hope you can disclaim start Your informant is ingstcgrc- giously mistaken, and, dear sir, who can tell in July what will be made ? Jf our crop is under water, we can tell what we will not make. These reports do us incredible harm. Last year wc were to make 51,300,000 bales. T de clared it must be error—that I could not figure- up over 3,000,000, yet it might exceed or be un der by 100,000. I assure you, sir, that in this comity—I lincls—the largest producing county in Mississippi, we can gather 2 or 3 times what we will make. Under no circumstances can we make such a crop. I do not believe we will even gather last year’s crop by 25 to 33 per cent I am positive my crop will fall short onc-fourtM My Overseer thinks one-third, and my Driver thinks over two-fifths. I believe if thc true ver, sion of tiie crop could be now known, that the planters of the United States would realize 10 to 20 millions * more. I know many planters, have seen, conversed with, heard from, received letters, and know of no county, except it may lie Madison county, where a crop can he real ized. I have 375 acres in cultivation, and I will give per acre for a per acre yield as made last year. I made, last year, over 1 bale per acre, this year, 300 hales will be a large figure. In my immediate vicinity there will he- 500 hales short, only a very few together—not a large community. Com is by no means large, I will make mote—planting more.

The reader is doubtless aware that American ism in New York State has been for long months steadily and sedulously wooing that dusk* maid, Black Republicanism. Matters had programed very favorably up to a iortnight. since, when both parties had appointed a State Convention on the same dny, at Syracuse, in apparent good hope to complete the alliance and mergw their fortunes in a common ticket and a common fate. Each Convention appointed a Committee of Con ference to agree upon the terms of alliance, or 'fusion,' 1 as they call it, and it seems there was no kind of difficulty upon the part of American ism.

The Tribune says: “The attempt to combine the two parties repre sented at Syracuse in a united eflort 'against the abhorred measures and the corrupt and faithless men of the Buchanan Democracy, appears to ha- foiled. IVc regret this result, but are not sur prised at it. A little more experience seems to be neccessary to the masses or to the leaders of the two parties. A combination of them is inevitable, but flu- time for it has not yet arriv ed. But though the anticipated co-operation has thus been prevented so far as thc State tick et is concerned, we trust in may yet tie found practicable in the Congressional Districts, es pecially where the "two parties acting separately are sure to be beaten by the common foe.” Uou.

The jiapers publish the proceedings of a re cent meeting in Jackson county, which endorse the proceedings of the Coweta meeting and in struct their Senator and Representatives to go for the abolishment of thc Supreme C’eurt. Conviction for Burglary. The case of George M. Griffin, of Savannah, was tried at Madison week before last and re sulted in his conviction. He was indicted for an attempt to commit a Burglary, and tfie charge was made out by proof of Griffin’s having ob tained an impression of the Lock ofa Jeweler’s Store in Madison, taking it to Savannah, making a key to fit, and sending it back to Madison in a Box by Express to a person whom he suppo sed was acting as his accomplice. This person, however, revealed all of Griffin’s plans—wrote him letters and obtained his answers, and thus ky letters which he (Griffin) had written, was enabled to make out thc case. Judge Cone defended Griffin, -and with great ability, but all to no purpose.' We understand thc case goes to Hie Supreme Court on several legal points—anil among oHi- ci s, the question of Jurisdiction. Mr. griffin has been a resident of Savannah for many years, ami has enjoyed the reputation of being an up right, honest and virtuous citizen. Wc hope lie may bo able yet to acquit himself of Hie charge. 1 [c was sentenced to one year’s impris onment in Hie Penitentiai-y. lion. Albert Gallatiu IJrown ou DOUGLAS. Hon. A. G. Brown, Senator from Mississippi and one of the ablest and tnicst Southern "Rights Democrats in the Union, in an address delivered by him at Iiaziehurst, Miss., on the 11th of this month, spoke of Judge Douglas as follows: And now, fellow citizens,having mentioned the name of Douglas,alIow met odigress so for as to say my sympathies are not with those who indulge in wholesale denunciation of him. lie is niorc honcst, more consistent, more the friend of the Constitution and tlic rights of the Stateswjinil a better Democrat than nine-tenths of those in the free SL-ttes who abuse him. He is a giant in in tellect, a giant in will, a giant in eloquence, a giant inieverything tliat makes up the character istics om great man, anil I hope he may thrash Abolitim Lincoln out oflus boots. I neednot say tliat I differed with Douglason tiie Katpas Lecompton question. Wo met in debate—we discussed the question, I hope like Senators—we differed in the end as wc hail dif fered in the beginning—but we parted as we hail met, frieikls. If I could getamanofmy own faith,, I would gladly take him. But God forbid that I should discard a great man like Douglas, who differs with me <m one point, and take a small man like Lincoln who agrees with me in nothing. We think so too. .f siitutiona! isl,aml aiM me remaT-cinr.t regular au thentic health returns are undoubtedly of more- service to the reputation and business ofa place during an epidemic than silence or concealment, upon which the most unfavorable construction is always placed. Rumor and gossip will sid>- ply whatever reports the authorities foil to make, and lie sure never to foil beloio the truth. Health of Savannah. The News of Saturday morning says: The stonn of Wednesday and Wednesday night closed the bad spell. of rainy wcath- i which had prevailed for several days prev ous, and thc wind having dispersed the clouds, came out from the north-west on Thursday mor- ning. The sky was bright, ami Hie atmosphere ! cool and bracing. Yesterday was a clear, dc- j lightful ilay, with a brisk N. N. W. wind. This I state of things could not but be' favorable, and we were gratified to learn yesterday that there was a most decided improvement in Hie health of Hie city. Wc made diligent enquiry, but heard of very few new cases of sickness (of any kind—none of yellow fever. The physicians with whom we have conversed assure us tliat the sickness is not only diminishing, but con tinues ofa very mild character, and that, if tin- present favorable weatln-r should continue for a few days longer, we will have good grounds to hojio that the wonted general good health of the city will soon be re-established. Wc have never had a healthier season than thc present up to about Hie commencement of the second week in this month, but the weath er for some eight or ten days previous to Weil- nesday last—during the brewing of the equi noctial stonn which we liave just experienced— was very unfavorable to health, and during that time we have hail some fever, and some few deaths by yellow fever. But the favorable very healthy—neighborhood unexceptionable— Churches and good Schools convenient.
