and good Mercer designed it should be — ’ what the Baptist denomination is both wil ling and able to make it—what it ought, in-1 deed, with its mighty resources, long since to have become —but, let us add, and “ more in sorrow than in anger”—what, we fear, it never will become, until it is divorced from existing associations and influences. Repeating our hope that the Southern Baptist will lav our defence before its read -i ers, we dismiss tho subject. THE SEPTICENT. We beg leave to call the attention of Gov ernment to the importance of issuing anew silver coin, of the value of seven cents, to which, for the sake of analogy, in the nom enclature of the federal currency, we sug gest the name of tho Septicent. The use of copper coins in making small change, crally felt to be an annoyance, and more on that account, perhaps, than on any other, they are not used at all in the South, unless it may be in the larger towns, und there on ly to a limited extent. It is, however, often times extremely inconvenient to get along without them, as for example, in pre-paying a newspaper, or taking out a drop letter, and in numberless other cases. The issue of a septicent would obviate all these difficulties, and with the other silver fractional parts of tho dollar, make every sum that can be desired for practical pur poses. It is evident, that with our present federal coins—of silver—no combinations will enable the holder to pay either one, two, three, four, six, seven, eight, or nine cents, without receiving copper coin in ex change. Let us now examine the result of a combination of septicents with dimes and half-dimes, and see if the use of copper will not be rendered entirely unnecessary. We annex a table, embracing eight propositions to pay from 1 to 9 cents —omitting the 5 and 7 —using only silver coins : To pay 1 cent, give 1 and 1-2 dimes, and receive 2 septicents. To pay 2 cents, give 1 septicent, and re ceivo 1-2 dime. To pay 3 cents, give 1 dime, and receive 1 septicent. To pay 4 cents, give 2 septicents, and re ceive 1 dime. To pay 0 cents, give 2 dimes, and receive 2 septicents. To pay 8 cents, give 1 and 1-2 dimes, and receive one septicent. To pay 9 cents, give 2 septicents, and re ceive 1-2 dime. This table embraces every possible con tingency in which copper coin would be re quired, and we think it would add vastly to the public convenience to have such an ad dition as that which we propose, made to the national coinage. We commend this subject, at all events, to the consideration of financiers, and of our contemporaries. our (Gossip Column. The Stone Mountain. This wonderful object has become one of the great attractions of our State, and for the one visiter of 1839, there are probably one hundred iu 1849, thanks to the Georgia Rail Road, which runs in the very “ shad ow of the great rock.” We spent an after noon there recently, to refresh ourself with its sublimity and grandeur, and brought away with us the following beautiful Apos trophe by some inspired visiter ! W r e found it in the public Album of the Mountain Ho tel, and therefore print it without hesita tion. It bears date of August 31st, 1848. Farewell Stone Mountain! I bid you farewell.

I bid you farewell! A Prize not Prized. In a late advertisement of the American -irl Union, the last subject upon the Cata logue of pictures for the next annual Distri bution, is stated as follows : 200 Small Beginnings. By A. Rutherford. Our good aunt Betsey—a second cousin, by the way, of Mrs. Partington —having read the announcement, looked up, pushed back her spectacles, and exclaimed— “ Good gracious ! that’s a powerful lot of small beginnings. 1 wonder why he didn’t finish ‘em as he went along. Who, iu the name of common sense, ’ud want to draw such a prize as that. I hope you won’t draw it, nephew, any’ how, for the parlor Wouldn't hold so many scraps !” Both Parties Suited. The Editor of the Atlanta Intelligencer returns us his thanks for saving him the trouble of looking, in vain, into our paper weekly, for something that he thinks wor thy of being copied. We are certainly hap py to have relieved him from an investiga tion so painful—because so utterly beyond bis intellectual capacity—and we shall not soon forgive ourself for having sent our pa per to him at all, in utter disregard of the significant Scripture admonition—QO“6’as< not your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their Jeet, and turn again and rend you /” Went Farther and Fared Worse. One of the most excellent and popular landlords in Georgia, recently related the following incident as a fact in his own ex perience : One day, a passenger by the curs arrived at the A Hotel just before the ringing of the bell for dinner. Not de signing to go on in the train immediately, be felt in no baste to secure his dinner, and accordingly retired to a room and passed the whole dinner hour in making a comfort able toilet This accomplished, ho descend ed leisurely to tho dining-room, and found it entirely vacant of guests. Seating him self at tho table—covered with the disjecta membra of a once generous dinner—the ser ’ ants, at tho intimation of our host, who bail just entered tho saloon, began to wait “pon him most diligently. One after ano ther placed dishes before him, until nearly every variety was within his reach- The guest sat, looking on iu profound silence. but touched nothing that was placed before him. By this time, the attentive landlord, becoming anxious for the honor of his house, stepped up to his taciturn visiter, and cour teously remarked— “ You are behind our dinner hour, sir, and an unusually large number of guests has nearly exhausted our supplies. I can offer you, sir, I deeply regret to say, but a very poor apology for a dinner.” To this speech the guest replied not, ei ther by word or look; and the landlord, somewhat discomfited, seizing the most pro mising viands within reach, urged him to eat, again deploring the unworthiness of the dinner. Still the stranger was speechless and mo tionless. And now our good-natured host began to grow vexed, but rallying once more, he said, cheerfully— “ Come, sir, make the best of it; the din ner is a poor one, I know—very poor—yet not so poor, after all, but that I have seen a worse.” “ Then,” said the stranger gravely, and looking into the host's face, “ then, sir, you have travelled farther than I have Our excellent friend, the landlord, retired in haste, and left his guest to do the best he could! li A Pocket full of Rocks.” The literal meaning of this phrase is a pocket full of rupees, [hence, of any coin,] rapes being the Latin term for rocks!

We rejoice to see that the great “ Apostle of Temperance” has given the “cold shoul der” to the Abolitionists, in his reception of their invitation to attend a forthcoming an ti-Slavery celebration in Boston. Lloyd Garrison, the bearer of the invitation, was terribly chagrined by the good priest’s evi dent determination to mind his own busi ness and let other people’s aloue; and he has since sought to cast odium on Father Mathew, by representing him as traitorous to the great cause of human liberty ! When Lloyd Garrison has done the millionth part for his suffering fellow-men that Father Ma thew has accomplished, he will be entitled to infinitely more respect and consideration than he is note, as the leader of intermed dling fanatics. The South should honor Fa ther Mathew for his independence in dis claiming alliance with the Abolitionists. u The Schoolmaster needed Abroad.” In the review of Sir Charles Lyell’s Trav els in the United States—mentioned in our notice of the Living Age in another column —the reviewer manifests a sad ignorance of our Southern geography, by locating both Macon and Milledgeville in Alabama!

Ed ited by Henry Reed In two vols. Bvo—jp 567, 559. New York: D. Appleton & Co.— 1819. We have not yet had time to read with care and deliberation both of these large oc tavos, embracing Lord Mahon's History of’ England for a period of half a century im mediately succeeding the Peace of Utrecht, in 1713. We have, however, read enough to form an idea of its great merit, and to discover that in candor, fidelity, compre hensiveness of detail, and philosophical re search, it has never been surpassed by any History of England whatever. Lord Mahon, grandson of the Earl Stan hope, had access to the voluminous Stan hope MS. Papers, from which he has drawn largely, and thereby added vastly to the in terest of his work. lie also consulted free ly the celebrated Stuart Papers, and the Hardwickc Collection, and lias thus been enabled to throw new light upon many points in the history of that eventful half century. These volumes were issued from the Amer ican press just about the time that Mr. Ma caulay’s popular History made its appear ance, and in the favor which the latter ex cited in the popular mind, the work of Lord Mahon was, perhaps, too little regarded by reviewers and readers. Now, however, that everybody has read Macaulay, it is well for us to assure our readers that his brilliant volumes do not exhaust tho annals of Eng land, nor even embrace all the salient points of her wonderful history. Indeed, the work of Lord Mahon treats of a period whose be ginning was a quarter of a century later than the close of that described in Mr. Ma caulay’s two volumes. When his subse quent volumes appear, covering the same ground, we may find in them more dazzle of rhetoric, of the fascination of style, and of the charm of rapid and startling an tithesis; but we shall not find moro of dis criminating judgment of events, of search ing, logical analysis of their causes, or of unaffected charity of opinion, than are dis played in Lord Mahon’s elaborate records. The style is pure, und the narrative suffi ciently entertaining to command the un wearied attention of the reader who desires improvement. We cannot hut regard the work as an inestimable addition to histori cal Literature, and as containing everything that it is important for us to know of the period to which it is devoted. ©0 © m ©1 17 § a E a V Sermons, by tho lato Thomas Chalmers, I). ! >., LL. D.—lllustrative of different stages in his Minis!ry, 1798-18t7. Onevol. 12mo. —pp. 512 New York: Harpor & Brothers. 1819. This is the sixth volume of a uniform sc ries of the posthumous works of one of the ablest divines that ever lived. To commend to our readers his writings, stamped as they are with the double inspiration of genius and of Christianity, would be a sort of im pertinence, for the world has few Chalmers,’ and wherever the light of Revelation has beamed, his name is hallowed by some of its holy rays. History or the American Birle Society, from its Organization to the prosent time. Ivy \V P. Strickland. With an Introduction by Rev. N. L Rice, D. D. One vol. Bvo.—pp 466. New York: Harper & Brothers. 1819. If the history of nations, states and indi viduals, is interesting and valuable, how much more so the history of an Institution, moro elevated in its aims, more comprehen sive in its field of operations, more enduring in its results, than any other merely human agency whatever. Such an Institution is the American Bible Society, established by benevolence and sustained by the same spi rit, through a wonderful career of progress and grand moral achievement, in compari son with which, the trophies of warlike cru sades and expeditions grow dim and insig nificant. The volume before us is a narrative of al most unequalled interest, since it is the re cord of moro than thirty years’ endeavor, on the part of American Christians, to give the word of God to every nation and people under Heaven. Our limits will not allow us to review the operations of the Society, and we must confine ourself*to a few hasty glances at their results. The receipts of the Society,from all sources whatever, from its organization in 1810 un til the present year, have exceeded three millions of dollars. The entire Scriptures have been translated into more than fifty different languages, and published by the Society. In some languages, two or more versions have been prepared, to meet the wants of the people The New Testament complete has been published in sixty-six 1 mguages and dialects, and various portions of the Bible, particularly the Gospels and the Psalms, in most of the same and other languages. The total number of copies of the Scriptures issued by the Society, is es timated at six millions. Until 1835, all the Evangelical denomina tions in this country were united in the American Bible Society. In that year, however, an unhappy collision arose, which resulted in the withdrawal of the Baptist Church iuto a separate Society, under the comprehensive title of tho American and Foreign Bible Society. Mr. Strickland throws the responsibility of this separation on the Baptists; we should do them injus tice, however, if we did not add that they claim to have acted ex necessitate rei. The present operations of the American Bible Society, are conducted on a vast and extending scale of Christian benevolence, as the volume before us will shew. In an Ap pendix we find many letters, circulars and addresses, by distinguished Bible advocates —constituting a judicious and valuable ad dition to the elaborate narrative of Mr. Strickland. Ranking’s 11.u.f Yearly Abstract of the Med ical Sciences. No. 9—July. 1819. Philadel phia: Lindsay & Blakiston. It is certainly needless for us to commend a work, the value of which is acknowledged by the entire Medical profession of the Uni ted States. The vast amount of matter it contains —the diligence and judgment ex hibited in its compilation, and the compre hensiveness of its range—combine to render it invaluable, especially to the physician of limited time and means for professional reading. It is published at .81.50 per an num. The Hill Difficulty, and some Experiences of Life in the Plains of Ease. With other Mis cellanies. By Geo. B. Cheever, D D Ono vol. 12mo. —pp. 383. Now York: John Wiley. 1819. Among the allegories of this volume, we find the famous tracts entitled Deacon Giles’ Distillery and Deacon Jones’ Brewery, the former of which subjected its author to a : suit for libel, by some rum-selling deacon 1 who saw his own portrait in the vivid lim : ning of the satirist. Probably no tracts were ever more conducive to the progress of the Temperance reform than these. Beside them are some beautiful allegories of a still higher order of moral, and among them that which gives title to the book. There are, also, numerous descriptive and meditative pieces in the second part of the work, writ ten in the author’s happiest vein. The third part contains several miscellanies of a criti cal and speculative character, marked by vigor, purity and independence of thought and style. Dr. Cheever is a distinguished preacher of New York City, and his zealous defence of Puritanism, not less, perhaps, than his pleasant volumes of travel in the Jungfrau and the Alps, and his Lectures on the Pilgrim’s Progress, have made him wide ly known. our (Hontemporarics.

The annexed extract 1 from a late New’York letter of “the U'ash- ; ington Union ” makes some rather remark able additions to the rumors current res pecting this mysterious movement. If we could only be satisfied of their truth, they would deservo to be called important: “Under these circumstances, and under the belief that the English, French, and A mcrican population of the island will gladly exchange the antiquated rule of old Spain for laws, institutions, privileges, and influ ence in the State more in accordance with the spirit of the age, a large number of weal thy Creole families and individuals are pre paring to assert the independence of the island on the first favourable opportunity. They have bought arms, military stores, &c. to a large extent in this country and Eng land, almost all of which have long since passed beyond the jurisdiction of the Uni ted States and Great Britan, having been landed and stored (not in Cuba, but else where) at points most convenient for the purposes of the native Cubans. “ For two years past they have been buy ing such merchandise liberally among us, as in England; and there are now a large number of wealthy and patriotic Creoles of the island in the United States, ostensibly travelling for pleasure, but really picking out men from among those distinguishing themselves in the Mexican war, whose names and experience would, if identified in the first movement, be likely at once to crc ate a deeper sympathy in their cause in the breast of the American people, while it could not fail to inspire confidence in their ulti mate success on the part of all residents of their island. “ Thus, it is understood that had Gener al Worth lived, he would ere this have re signed his commission in the American ar my, and commenced planting in Cuba, to be ready to head the movement whenever es sayed. The leaders in the proposed enter prise—those who furnished the means—un doubtedly considered him pledged to this purpose, and have lately been sadly put to it to supply the want of an American com mander-in-chief of gallant daring, great ex perience, and reputation —equal, in moral effect, to half an army.” The African Squadron.
