Tribute of Respect.
At a meeting of the Rector, Church "War
dens und Vestrymen ot 8t. Paul’s Free
Churcl.in the city of Savannah, convened
on the 23th instant, on the occasion of the
death nt the Right Reverend 8tephen Elliott,
late Bi ihop of the Diocese of Georgia, the
following resolutions, introduced by Henry
Williams, Esq., one of the veitry, were unan
imousl f adopted:
llun hly submitting to the judgment of
Divine Providence, which has suddenly de
prived tlm Christian Church and this com
inanity of the zeal, influence and services of
our mi ch beloved Father in God. tbs late
Right Reverend Stephen Elliott, Protestant
Episcopal Bishop ot the Diocese of Georgia,
we. tho Rector, Wardens and Vestry of "St.
Paul’s Free Church,” in the city of Savan
nab, for our>elr<» and in behalf of the Par
ish we represent, desire to olfer to his memo
ry the tribute cf our grief for the loss sus-
t »ined in his death, f.nd our testimony to the
Christian and social virtues that dignified
and beautified bia lile.
Men die among us every day, each one
leaving by bis death some gap in society,
some blot* in tbe sunshine of a happy home,
some legacy of grief to sorrow-stricken
hearts.
But seldom does the mysterious decree ol
Almighty God strike down one who touched
society, public and private, at so many points
as Bishop Elliott. Seldom does the death of
any man send such an electric thrill through
so many hearts, or bring tears into so many
households.
His piety, bis learning, bis energy, bis
if- -i -*«— : — t },ad made
postolic eloquence and dignity,
lim tbe stay and support of tin
close of tho Year.

nay, her very “ tower of strength,” not only
in Georgia, but throughout all tho Southern
States, and even beyond their boundaries.
His vigorous intellect, extensive and ac

bad rendered him a zealous and powerful
promoter of all reasonable schemes for the
moral and intellectual improvement of the
community.
Ilia sincere personal religion, his unaffected
and practical piety, his pure character, his

courteous demeanor, his genial temper, liis
blameless conduct, his unselfish benevolence,
bis exquisite perception of the peculiarities
of human nature, with his charitable con
sideration for the faults of otlieri, and his
tenderness and justice in his domestic re'a
lstions, had won, throughout his life, the
love, reverence and confidence of all who
knew him.
1. Be it thfreTore Resolved. That by the
des’h of the Right Reverend Stephen Elliott
late Bishop of diocese of Georgia, the Christ
ian Church and Society at large are called
upon to mourn a loss, the full measure of
which words are inadequate to express.
3. Resolved, That we hereby acknowledge
our gratitude to Almighty God for bis mercy
in sparing our beloved Bishop the mental and
bodily tortures of a lingering sickness, and in
calling b ; m home while in the full poMeesion
of an unclouded intellect, und of complete
physical strength by that “sudden death”
from which wo pray in our Litany to be de
livered, but for which we steadfastly believe
his Christian faith and works had fully pre
pared him.
3. Res-lived, That these resolutions be en
tered by the Secretary upon the - minutes of
the Church, and published in the gazettes of
the City of Savannah, and that a copy be
sent to the family of Bishop Elliott.
True extract from the minute?.
W. It. Tcnxo, Secretary.
Savan rah, Dec. 2®, 1866.
Determined to Die.
In the little town of Dover, which is situe-
ted on tho Cumberland River, in MiddloTen-
n< there lived, sonic years ago, an ec
centric and intemperate old" bachelor, by th
name of Kingston. On one occasion, when
prostrated on Ui» bed by excess, and suffer
ing acutely irom those stings and horrors pe
culiar to his situation, be sent for one ot bis
old boos companions to come and visit him.
Shyrack,for that was the other’s name, came
duly to Kingston's room.
“What’s the matter, KingstonT”
“Shyrack, shut the door.”
“ Yes, iny dear fellow.”
“ Lock it.”
“Eh r
“Lock the door.”
“Certainly, my dear boy.”
“Shyrack, I’m going to kill myself.”
“My dear fellow, let me entreat vou not to
do it.”
•‘I will.”
“No, no 1 Oblige me and don’t.”
“Slust do it.”
“Don’t; it’ll be the death of you.”
Shyrack was quite cool and jocose, little
dreaming that so terrible an event was ac
tually going to take place.
Kingston had," as the last eccentric act of
his life, taking a chisel ana mallet to bed
with hiui; and now, with desperate resolve,
bo seized the extraordinary tools of death,
and in an instant drove the blade of the
chisel into bis breast.
The hair rose upon Shyrack’s head, and
fright spread like a sheet of snow over tbe
face.
“Kingston 1 Kingston! my dear fellow—
you old rascal, Kingston! do you want to
have me hnng f Hold! don't die till I call
somebody 1”
Shyrack ran to tbe dcor, and called like
a madman to some people across the street.
“Haljo! here? say, you, mister! all you
stupid people, make haste over here, or there
will be a murder!”
The people crowded into Kingston's
house.
“Don’t die, Kingston! Don’t chisel me
that way. Don’t die till you tell .them who
did it.”
“I did it myself,” Kingston articulated.
“There, that’ll do; now, my dear fellow,
you may die," replied Shyrack taking u long
breath, and wiping the perspiration from
his forehead.
And Kingston did die in that extraordin
ary way, os a suicide that was almost % mur
der.
A Rr.uoiors Department at Paris—As
Exposition'.—Due of the most iutei csting ami
important department* of the G -at Expo
sition to be bild at Paris the com ing\«n>
wil! be the one devoted to the exhibition ol
the results of Protestant Christian benevo.
Icut enterprise. Tbe very choicest part of
the grounds devoted to the fair have been
set apart by the French Emperor far this
purpose, and it will furnish the grandest op
portunity Protestant Christianity lias ever had
tor the display of its works and results. It
certainly could hardly have been expected
that a Catholic Emperor of a Catholic coun
try would have taken much interest in such
a matter, but buildings are to be erected and
every possible facility afforded for the expo
sition of the results of the modern missionary
and charitable efforts ot Protestant Christians
It is the intention of the Emperor and those
cone- med in the Exposition to have it a per
fect illustration of the life of tbe world, and
permission was chcefullv given to sane En
glish Christians, when they bracked tbe
matter, of having a place assigned to Pro
testant missions.
Partial preparations have already been
made to render this permission to tte Empe
ror of practical value to tlic cause of Protes
taut Christianity; but much more musics to
lie done in order to make full and proper
use of so grand an opportunity for aggressive
religious effort. A Protestant chapd will be
erected on one end of the “Holy Gruund”—
a? it will be appropriately called—and a com
mittee of evangelical ministers bus already
been rahed in Paris; who are to mike ar
rangements for daily religious services, under
thediiection of able preachers, in all tie lan
guages that shall be represented there. Tbe
Gospel will thi's be publicly and freely
preached in English, French, G*rmin, Italian
aad other tongues, and all may Lear the truth
in language that they can understand. An
other building will be devoted to the dis
play of the results of Christian enterprise in
the preparation of the Bible and other reli
gious works for the use of heathen nations;
another building will be devoted to the gra
tuitous distributions of religious booksand
tracts, and the printing press will at once
attest to the skill ot invention and the
thoughtful foresight of Christian benevolence.
Several English gentlemen of great wealth
and Christian liberality have takctl especial
interest in this work, and are pushing it
along with all the energy possible.

Human Sacrifices in Africa.—The fol
lowing i* on extract from a letter to the Af
rican Times.
Accr/ Gold Coast, West Africa, Au
gust 10, I860.—In my last I informed you
briefly of the death of Quow Daddy, the
king of .lqupim. at Akropcng, the capita] of
he corn try, about the end of June. Tbe
death of King Quow Daddy was the signal
for the tttcrifiaing of some thirty-five or forty
men and women connected with his house
hold. Such a wholesale slaughter of huinnii
beings w itliin the jurisdiction of the Queen
of England has npt been known nor heard ot,
even in tbe remotest or most savage arid un
civilized region ot this protectorate, for the
last sixty years.
In Akiopong the Basle missionaries have
numerous large establishments. Immediately
oa the death of the kiug being made known
to them i be principal, the Rev. Mr. Widinan,
dispatched an express to Lieutenant Brett,
the cbiei’ civil commandant of the Accra,
through Mr. Muller, th; agent of the Basle
missions; ies at Cbristianshurg informing him
of the ooourenoe, and of the certainty of great
disorder snd irregularity if the Government
did not at once depute some oUiccr or iin-
preserve
eft sire
on
poitaut commissioner up there to
order and keep in check any snub
tbe part of the people.
This friendly and timely warning of the
Basle missionaries was treated with that cou
tempt wi’ b which the British authorities on
the gold coast invariable treat information
coming from sources not entirety official;
which latter, be it observed, almost always
proves to be corrupt, false, and manufactured
to euit off cial dispatches. The result of this
ipathy is, that many poor .victims have been
ruthles'ly slain to accompany.Qu6w Daddy
to tlie next world; amongst the number, four
young females, bis wives. Several of the in-
temled victims fled to tlie different residences
of the' B ide missionaries and were afforded
refuge l»y the Rev. Mr. Widmauaud the Rev.
Mr. Madm.
Some cf these aro .-‘.ill in the hands ot
these misiionarie*. others, who were bang
smuggled l lO Accra for- oMer prnt^-tton,
were discovered afid killed. Some, again,
who reached Accra in safety were pursue^,
and actudly seized under tbe walls of the
rained fert, and woultl have been carried
away had not several of the residents forced
the matte • to the notice ol the commandant,
who, will i the utmost reluctance interfered,
and finec. the defendant £12. Akrnpong is
only elgltecn miles from the scat of govern
ment in Accra. It is a country very'easily
accessible Ilirougb good roadsgnode nut by tlie
Govern mint, but by the German missionaries.
Tub B'ERSal Wo up —No fragment of an
ftrtny evtr survived *o many battle* as the
Bibl
t5?“Thc Washington letter of tho Charles
ton Courier says:
Among the new liooks in press, is one of
interest to the Southern people. Mrs. Sarah
A. Dorsey, a lady well knowri i’l literature,
ami apparently an ardent admire : of the hero,
whom she embalms in biography, has written
“The Recollections of Henry W. Allen, late
Governor of Louisiana and Brigidier Gene
ral C. S. A.” Tlie work, she announce*, “will
present the first accurate account of the late
war in tbe Trans-Mississippi Department,
given from a Southern point ot v iew.” Gov
ernor Allen, it will be remembered, died in
exile, in Mexico, snd fbe profits arising from
this book will ga towards defra ring the ex
penses of removin'* his remains to the Boil
ot his belovetl South. Generals d auregard,
Pemberton and Buckner have ri viewed anti
corrected the historical portions of the work
The publisher is M. Dooiatly, f>:8 Broome
street, and* the price of the volume $1 75.—
Any of our people, who can afford to send
for it, will not only procurea valuable work,
but aid in a just tribute to a gallant soldier
and gentleman.
Discouraged Because of the Wat.—We
doubt not there will be seasons, even in the
happiest Christian pilgrimages, when the
soul will be “ discouraged because of the way.’’
When difficulties which we thought had
passed over, will re appear; when tempta
tions, which wc hoped had been forever van
quished, will again rise up against us; when
tins, which we had trasttd we had forsaken,
will once more niur our path; end these
tilings will lead us to feel a deep sensation of
despondeucy ; we shall be tempted to think
thut God cannot pardon delinquencies so fre
quent ami unprovoked, and that wc shall
certainly perish on tbe journey,' and Hever ar
rive at that journey’s blissful end. Let us be
careful that such feelings lead us not into
temptation ; that they do not close our eye*
and our hearts against the infinity of God’s
mercy in Christ Jesus.—Blunt.

of Daniel’s four empires. Assyria bequeaths

National Muspum. Media and Persia, like
Babylon which they conquered, have been

Hunttno for Gold.—A young man from
town was seen in a village, at evening, look
ing about attentively in the gutter. “What
aro you looking for,” said the man whose
shop was vis-a-vis. “ Some pieces of gold/'
“Oh. I will assist yob.’’ and out became with
a lantern. The neighbors all came with lan
terns, aud were busily groping in ihc gut
ter at this news. Alter a time, during which
the young man let them rummage by them
Halves, the first spokesman said: “ Are you
sure you lost tlie gold pieces here J” “ i said
nothing about losing any money; I wanted
to find some—that is, the difference.” He
was cartful to riiako himself scarce after this
practical joko. ’■ t .
Kf“ ; ‘Aro sisters Sal and Nance resources
Pa?” . ' ’ ’ *jj}
“No my son. Why do you ask that qu«s
tion!”
“Because I heard Uncle John say, if you
would only husband your resources, you
could get nlong a good deal better than you
do. And I thought it would his a good idea,
because you wouldn’t hare so many young
men here for supper every Sunday evening,
that's all, pa.”
Make a good Beginning.—The firet weed
pulkd up in the garden, the first teed set in
the ground, the first dollar put in the savings
K ik, and the first mile traveled on a journey,
all important thing*. How many m poor
outcast is now creeping and crawling his way
through the world, who might have held np
his head and prospered, if instead of putting
off his resolutions of umerdment, he had only
made a beginningl . . .,-rj sierio i
Suffering.—There is a’grcat want about
Christians who have, imt suffered. Some
flowers must be broken or bruised liefore they
emit any fragrance. All the wounds of Christ
sent out sweetness; all the'sorrbws of Christ
do tho same. Commend me to a braised,
brother^-A broken re?d—like tlie.Son M
Man. *To me there is something sacred anq
Sweet in all suffering; it is so much akin to
the Man of Sorrow.
13T The Houston. Texas Telegraph says,
an.okl negro man. whG stands very high in
the African Church in point of religion, fell
very sick, -and believing that he had the
cholera, he immediately commenced praying
to the Lord to spare him until he could re
pent of liis many evil deeds, adding that be
wasn’t half as good as he pretended to be.
fy To hini that goes to law, nino things
are requisite: “ First, a good deal ot money;
second, a good deal of patience; third, a
good cause; fourth, a good attorney; fifth, a
good counsel; sixth, good evidence; seventh,
a goocl jury; eighth, a good judge; ninth,
good luck. Itch with all these, a wise man
would hesitate before going to law/’ • .
A lady asked a pupil at a public
school, “What was the sin of the Pharisee?!”
“ Eating camels, marm.” quickly replied the;
child. She had read that the Pharisees
strained at ghals and swallowed camels.”'

weak,” said a loafer (o a gentleman.
“Why, because they arc in a weak place,’
eturned the latter.

Tbobusince* dono iu Cotton during the part week
has been to a limited extent, the market closing at our
last weekly review very dull, with much unwilling
ness on the part of buyers to pay tho pr ces then de
manded, vlx: Ti cents. On Saturday, buyers entered
the market with no disposition lo pay the prices de
manded by holders, who were perfectly willing to dis
pose of tuoir stocks, and yielded to the demand of
buyers, and the consequence was a considerable de
cline in prices, which dosed at 30'iecnts, with but
lew transactions. On Monday, there was but little
cliango from Saturday, and but few transactions took
place. Nutting wa* don- 0:1 Tuesday, which, being
Christmas, vras observed strictly as a holiday; but or
Wednesday the market appeared to have improved,
and manifested considerable excitement, resulting in
an advance of '//*! c. on tho prices of Saturday, with
sale* amounting it) the aggregate to near 500 hales.
Yesterday, however, prices again gave way. owing lo
tho limited transactions and the indisposition on tho
partof holders to offer their.stocks, unless at such
prices saibey think remunerative. To-day the mar
ket is very and buyers find it difficult to obtain
U>!ic. fur middling.
in Sea Islands I hero has been rather more business
done during tho past week than for some time pre
vious, owing to tho appearauce of several additional
buyers on the market. Tbe business in this descrip
tion of Cotton is now fairly opened, and the receipts
are daily on the increase. Holders are,very firm for
the better grades, while the poorer descriptions are
dull of sale, and aro only disposed of at a groat re
duction iu prices. We quote 3ort90o as the rouge, the
latter for n very fine quality of Florida Colton.
Bacon—There is a little better feeling on the part
of holders of Bacon this week though the demand has
been very limited, owing to the fact that the killing
season is at hand. We quote, however, as follows:
