Religion Among the Blacks.— ln a stibscrip
tion list which was passing around among the
whites, to raise funds to assist in the completion
of the colored. Baptist church, we were pleased
to note the general interest manifested in the uu
der'akiug. •
The spread of the gospel and a pnre religion
*s the only hope of the manumitted African in
America.
Every friend of humanity should unite there
fore in tiiis great work, and wo trust «•* long
when interested and sinister yankee into « ence
c’n es colored churches will employ Southern
white clergymen in whom they may confide,
whil - Mu work t f (bleating and qu, Kfying tin ir
own pious minister! il can lidat e is in progress.
If tibe “oiiud lead tie b iud,” both will fall
into the ditch. So with ignorant mid illiterate
preachers and teachers, there is danger that this
large portion of onr population will relapse into
error aud superstitious fanaticism.
Indeed there is already painful evidence of
this in many instances.
We submit Ibaf the proper method of arrest
ing the evil, is by exhibiting a becoming inter
est in the spiritual welfare of the Blacks.
Let reserved seats or galleries be provided
for them in all our churches, and every minis
ter of Christ endeavor upon ail suitable oc»a-.
sions to proclaim front ih-r own pulpits*the bles
ed missages of peace and salvation.
We rejoice that our several religions denomi
nations are providing boards, and devising means
for the proper instruction of those who are de
sitoas of preaching the gospel, among the negro
laity.
Let it be remembered that in heaven there is
no distinction of persons, nor can there be a
black and a while church on earth.
All have one Lord and Master, and all one
faith and salvation.
One Hundred Chickens for Fifty Cents.—

COMMUNICATE!).]
Mr. ElUor. —iu your lost feme of the Appeal,
appears a communication signed “ A Pastor,’’
for which 1 crave the use of your columns to re
ply.
There is a great deal in it that I have a right
to reply to, but as .yew have been so kind In
publishing what litfle I have had to say, I will
pass by all that is mifi in tbe article referred to_
about - " Sinner’* ” motive in penning the article
published sometime since, and come to the main
issue between "Pastor” and mys* If. Tin question
narrows itself down to this point: He believes
some men will suffer endlessly in the future
world for sins committed here, and thinks if he
can show that one man is tormented in the fu
ture world, Universalism falls to the
which I admit. He then quotes the whole ac
count of the rich man and Lazarus, and seems
to rest satisfied with tbis proof; then goes on to
say that these are the words of Christ, and if
“ Sinner ” will not ’believe them he will not be-j
lieve Moses and-the prophets. “ Sinner ” does
believe <£hem and everything else our Saviour
saysbut he does not believe these words prove
endless punishment in the futnre world. I be
lieve all that the Bible says about hell.
The following are some of the reasons wbyi
cannot believe tbis account teaches endless mis
ery in the immortal world : The hell here spo
ken of is in this world and David and Jonab
were delivered from it. Tbe rich man was told
in reply to the request he made to Abraham to
warn his brethren that thdy had Moses and the
prophdts. Now, in Moses’ writings the eis noth,
ing said of rewards and punishments beyond the
present existence ; therefore they could not bav«
been warned of the danger of an endless hell in
the immortal world. And he seems to posse-?
the same bodily organs he bad iu life—therefore
he could not have attained to a resurrected state.
For oar Saviour says a spirit hath not flesh and
bones. He also says iq the resurrection state
they are as tbe angels of God in heaven. Yon
take this account in a literal sense and look upon
tbe rich man as being in a literal heft in the fu
ture world, the* you are bound to take Abra
ham’s bosom as a place ot future happiness in
the immortal world in a litoral sense also.—
Now unles you can prove that the rich matt
bad attained to a ream reeled state of immortali
ty, your evidence sustains my doctrine.
Iu conclusion I will say, if you will prove to
my mind from the bible, that there are two
classes or conditions of mankind after the re.su r"
,-ection to a state of immortality, 1 will acknowl
edge Universalism an error, but until tbis is done,
my faitb in the ultimate boliuef.s, and consequent
happiness of all Adam’s race remains unshaken.

[communicated.]
Mr. Editor.—l see in your lasi Appeal an
article signed “A P«stor,” in answer to “A Sin
ner.” Now as Pastor has fully enlisted him.
self in the defence of truth against error, and
Sinner oeing neither a public speaker n or wri
'(*r, I propose to substitute one in his ste*d
that :s belter qualified, and more his equal, iu
such matters, and one that is endorsed by the
Uuiversalist denomination. Besides it would be
a much greater honor to defeat such a man as
I projxise than it would “ A Sinner.” He will
meet you, either in an oral debate or written
discussion. \V. Coleman.
We have- submitted Mr. Colemans
note to “Pastor,” and he expresses his
entire readiness to meet sinner or any
of bis advocates in a fair discussion of
the vital questions involved in the doc
trine of Universalism.
Having already however in a pointed
notice last week, declined to make the
Appeal the medium of any protracted
religions controversy, we are compelled
still to adhere to that resolution.
Such productions interest very few,
and are distasteful to a majority of our
readers, who prefer the current news of
the day, and matter of a more amusing
and instructive character.
We have already published side by
side the communications of both par
ties, with a view to closing the contro
versy’, and as there is every indication
that they are prepared to fight it out “on
that line” all winter, in mercy to the
public we must say hold ere thaodiscus

Man's Accouxtjbiutt to H.s God.—-We were
not a little siq rued by a remark recently made
at the tamily meaV, by a little girl only five years
of nge.
In tbe midst of a conversation npv»n other top
ics having no connection with tbe thought, she
suddenly exclaimed "I wish there was uo ti ght
and no judgement day.”
Her father said, why ? my daughter. The
little creature stopped eating, changed color, and
while the big tears chased each other down her
checks, exclaimed, "because I am so bad.”
Here was a touching, and powerful argument
in favor of the immortality of the soul, aud its
accountability to the Go I who created it. It
was the unassisted, outspoken utterance of that
well defined instinct or intuitiou, which stirs the
human heart even from the hours of early infan
cy.
The untutored savage has bright visions of
fair hunting grounds, and peaceful sunshine in

It remains alone for the skeptic, the scoffer, the

To Those Interested. —I would earnestly re
quest all those indebted to me. to call at onie
and settle, as I have given a3 much indulgence
as I can and hope those who hare been receiv

Tennessee.— Both Bouses of the Ten
nessee Legislature have agreed upon a
Compromise Convention bill, and the
bill has become a law. The Conventi,n
is to consist of sevent-five members, ty>
meet on the seeond Monday in January
.--members to be elected on the third
Saturday in December.
Though the Legislature has rejected
the fifteenth amendment, it is said that
there is no party in Tennessee in favor
of taking the elective franchise fn>m the
negroes. The rejection is based upon
the right of each State to decide this
question for itself.
The Nashville correspondent of the
Courier-Journal writes : “Affairs have
never been more peaceable and tranquil
in. Tettnesse than at present under the
new I'egimo. Political outrages, }£u-
Klux depredations and negro whippings
have become things of the past, gfaot
which carries its owu moral.”
J. [eoame-ctcATSD.]
M r - Editor.—l had thought to write notYmg
«ure ia opposition to the tenet* of “ A .\ oner,”
bit as ha ha* allowed me to aee bis article for
ifts week before its publication, and expects a
r-P’y, I have resumed my pen. I purposely
Jhde no comment on the history of the “ Tbe
i«h man, and Lazarus, as told by Jeans Christ,
j« I considered the language as plain and as
jointed as words could make it.
And how that I have seen " A Sinners ” reply,
md his attempt to reconcile this passage of scrip
ore with the teachings of Universalism, I am
aore convinced than-ever that the difficulty with
kim, is one«ftLo heart rather than : tbe bead.—
And in thus saying, I do not charge him with a
lack of commo l boaesty of purpose, for it is
not impossible, bat that by repeated attempts to
confirm him3elf in his doctrinal views, be has at
length come to believe sincerely io his ewers.
"A Sinner” mvy have heard the story es ‘he
man who was tried for horse stealing, bttt who
was acquitted through the tact or ability of an
ingenious lawyer. After the trial, his counsel
asked him tp answer him candidly, whether or
not he stole tbe horse. He replied, that he re
ally did’nt know. He thought at first He did
steal him, but after hearing bis arguments in the
| case, “he be blamed ” if he conld tell whether
he stole him or not.” Bat let none be deceived,
by supposingtfhnt " honest” error is excusable
in God's sight, for it is written concerning those
who suffer themselves to be misled : “ And for
this couse God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie : that they all might
be damned, who believed not tbe truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteoasaess ” —ll.Then.2.ll-12
But to return to “ A Sinner's ” reply to our
last week's article. He says be admits that if I
can show but one instance of a man being tor
mented in tbe future world, that his creed falls
to tbe ground. E have pointed him to the case
of tbe rich man—Who is declared to have been
.dead and buried, “ and in bell lifted np bis eyes’
being in torments.” He says in his present com
munication that the bell fetre spoken es is in
this world, etc. Very well. Let us see how this
will read : The rich man died and was buried-
Aud in hell, “ which it in this world,” be lifted up
his eyes, being in torments. I always thought
th it when a man was dead and buried, he never
any more opened his eyes in this world. Buts
again, the rich man. from bell, " which is ia this
world,” colls to Abraham, who is in Heaven, and
begs him to send Lazarus With water to cool hi 8
parched tongue. Here again is a marvellous
thing. A man dead and hurried, and alter all
this, not oaly opening his eyes, bat from hell
(which is in this worhl) talking with Abraham
in the kingdom of glory! Assuredly that must
be a hot place in " this World,” which made Di
ves cry so loud that Abraham beard him away
off in heaven. 1 would recommend to our uni
versalist friends to cry to Abraham before they
reach that place of torment, which is in “ tb ! g
w.rld,” lest be reply to them as he did to Dives,
••Between us and you, there is a great gulf fixed :
so that they which would pass from hence to you
cannot, neither can they pass to us that would
come from theuce.” It is a strange thing to me
that if tbe place of torment, which is so awful
as to cause Dive3 to b«g for even one drop of wa
ter, and to wish to have one sent from the dead
to warn his brethren lest they come to the dread
ful place, be in this world, that “A Binner ” can't
point it out. And if Dives was Iu this world, I
can’t see for the lite of me, why be didn't go
himself to a “river” and quench hie awful thirstt
and also warn his brethren with his own flaming
breath —saying, “ My brethren you thought that
I was actually dead and buried, bnt you have
been deceived : I was only morally dead and
buried. You thought that you yourselves put
rue under the sod, but you are mistaken. You
thought that my eyes were closed forever to tbis
world, but not so. I have opened them again in
hell being iu torments, which is in * this
world.”’
Tbe (ruth is "A Sinner” ought to see to what
absurdities bis doctrine leads. Even if It should
be granted that hell or the place of torment
were, as it respects position, on our globe, still it
would iu no respect aid trie doctrine. For it is
certain that Dives did not enter the place of tor
ment.jan.til after he was dead and buried. And
when we speak of punishment in the future
world, we mean by future world, that state of
existence which succeeds natural death. Now
that Dives weut to the place of’torment af! v a
natural death is as manifest as language can
make it. “The rich man also died and was bur
ied, and in bell he lilted up his eye3 being in tor
menis. This is moreover confirmed by his re
quest, that Lazarus, wltotilso had died and was
carried to Abraham’s bosom (and he certainly
could not have been cairied t ere except be had
died actually, sot Abraham was at tbe time in
Heaven) might be sent from the dc'd to watn
his brethren. Now if this does not establish
punishment after death, then ail confidence in
language to declare truth is at an end.
The inferea ce of “a sinner,” that tbe punish
ment here spoken of must be in this 1 fe, “be_
cause the parlies here spoken of term, to po-sess,
tidily organs, whereas Christ says, that a spirit
bath uot fl -sh and bones, amounts absolutely to
nothing. For as we cannot conceive of spiritual
beings except under material symbols, for the
same reason we cannat speak intelligibly of them
unless we attribute to them something material
or tangible. God in accommodating himself to
the weakness of our understandings, represents
himself as having bodily organs, eyes, ears,
hands etc., but no one in his senses supposes,
that these organs belong to God as they do to
our bodily nature. The necc'sity therefore of
first establishing tbe point that Lazarus anj
Divei were possessed of “resurrected bodies, be
fore these things could be predicated of them,
does hot hold. The question of the resurrection
does uot eater at all into the doctrine under con
sideration It is enough to know that spirits
may suffer pain without bodily organs ; and
they also may be happy, while the body mould
ers it the grave. The devil and his angels are
to bd tormented in the bottomless pit, and yet
they are spirits. Christ said to the penitent
thief, This day slialt thou be with me in Para
dise, We know that this was spoken only of the
spirit for the body was buried after death in
the earth. As to the other inference, that hell
must be in this life, because Moses and the
Prophets say nothing of punishment in the fu
ture date, I will only say, that there seems to
b ■ a dtglU difference of opinion between Abra
h .m.and “A Sinner.” Abraham tells Dives (hat
t ier« was suffief-nt warning contained in Moses
and fte Prophets, to deter his five brethren from
the place of torment, and if they would not hear
them they would not believe the testimony of
L zftis. “A Sinner” says that Moses and the
Prophets say nothing of punishment after death,
“lie that hath ears to hear let him hear.” lam
lather inclined to think that father Abraham in
Heaven. is a better judge of this matter than
any iinnet - upou the earth. I for one shall take
his word for it, for the bible declares that there
shall not enter Heaven anything which maketh
a lit* and as Abraham,is in that blessed place
lam willing to believe him. But again, “A Sin
ner” has taken another turn and insists that I
hall prove future punishment to ijb endless. He
tells me privately, what I did not know. before j
that kbout one half of the universalists believe
that, there is punishment after death, but that it
is only for a limited time. I respectfully pub.
m’.t, that this is a different question from that we
have thus far been considering, and regret that
my limits will not allow a fall consideration at
present. I suppose if T can show but one case,
where punishment will be endless this doctrine
will like-the former one fall lo the ground.—
“\Vherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin
and blasphemy shall be fo.’given unto men ; but
the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not
be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speak
eth a word against the Son of in in it shall t be
forgiven him, neither in this world neither in
the world to come--MArr. 12-31:32. In answer
to the last remarks of “A Sinner.” upon which he
is willing to rect the soundmrs of his doctrine.
I would direct his attention to— John 5-28:29
Christ having declared his power to effect a mor.
al resun ection, adds* -Marvel not at tbis : lor the
hour is coining, in the which all that are io tbe
graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth ;
they that have done good unto the resurrection
of life; and they that have done evil Hnto the
r snrrection of damnation.” Here “Sinner,” are
your two classes or conditions of men after the,
resurrection. Will you now believe ?

How Hwtetter’a Bitters care Dyspepsia.
TUB WHOLE STO ,T IN A NUTSHELL.
The office of the stomach is to convert the food
into a cream-like semi-fluid, called Chvms. This
is effected paTtly by the action of a solvent, called
tbe gastric juice, which exudes from the coating
of the stomach, and partly by a mechanical move
ment of that organ, which churas, as it were, tte
dissolving aliment. Tbe Chtm* passes from the
stomach into tbe dnodenum, or entrance to the
bowels, where it is subjected to the action of the
bile, aud the nutritious portiou-of it Converted In
to a fluid called Chyle, which eventually becomes
blood.
Now, it is evident that if the gastric juice, is not
produced in sufficient quantity, or if the mechani
cal action of the stomach is not sufficiently brisk,
the first process of digestion will be but imperiec -
ly performed. It is also clear that if the liver,
which plays such an important part in changing
the nourishing portion of the chyme into the mate
rial of the blood, is congested, or in any unnatu
ral condition, the second process will not be tbor*
ooghly accomplished. The result of the two fail
ures is dyspepsia, complicated with billiousness.
The mode in which ROSTE ITER’S BITTERS
operate in such cases is this: they invigorate tbe
cellular membrane of the stomach, which evolves
the gastric juice, thereby insuring an ample suffi.
ciency of the fluid to completely dissolve the food.
I hey also act upon the nerves of tbe stomach,
causing an acceleration of the mechanical move
ment necessary to reduce tbe food to a homogene,
ous mass. They also act specifically upon the
liver, strengthening it,and so enabling it to pro
duce an ample and regular supply of bile, for the
purpose ol converting tbe nutritious particles of the
Chyme into Chyle, and promote the passage
through the bowels of tbe useless debris.
In this way lIOSTETTER’S BITTERS cure
dyspeosia and liver complaint. The explanation
is plain, simple, philosophical, and true.

riIHE SIMMONS’ LIVER MEDlClNE,prepared
L by S. H. Zeilin A Cos., of Macon, U*., h‘
proved to be a spuiious imposition. Tbe recipe
by which they prepare it is made public, and many
others have rights to prepare it besides themselves.
For proof of this, see the articles Irom John G.
Guice the following letter from Jas, R. Chiles,
the last letter on the subject from Rev. J. G. Jones,
dated Aorwst It, 1809, the letter of Rev. F. B. Da
vies, and others.
For these articles apply, by letter, or otherwise,
to Dr. M. A. SIMMONS, at luka, Miss., or any one
Who sells his Liver Medicine, which is the first
medicine ever called by that name, and the on.y
genuine “Liver Medicine.”
Forsyth, Ga , Oct. 4, 1869.
Dr. M. A. Simmon's, luka, Miss.:
Mr Dear Sir —l use the present means of dis
charging a duty which I believe is due my friends,
and all whom my name might influence.
About six years ego I became acquainted with
C. A. Simmons, and bought trom him a “Liver
Medicine,” which he brought from tbe up country,
and which I found a perfectly safe and reliable com
oound. and eminently suited to the class of diseases
for which it was tecommended. Last rear I saw
Mr. Zeilin, of the firm of J. U. Zeilin, & Cos., who
told me that be had bought Dr. C. A. Simmons’
recipe at a very h'gh pi ice-five thousand dollars
—and finding that I bad used the Simmons medi
cine in my family, and was very much pleased with
it, he asked me for my certificate. This I gave
him cheerfully, thhiku gto help him along in a
business calculated to prove a great blearing to
tbe human family, S nee he began to manufacture
it, however. I am satisfied be has not the mediome
I used ; for having tried it thoroughly, I do not
find that it produces tbe same effect. I am, more
over, satisfied that C, A. Simmons did not put ap
the medicine I bought from him, but procured it
f.om bis relatives i>r somebody else ; for it Zeilin
bad bought from him the recipe by which that
medicine was made and honestly followed it in tbe
manufacture o that which he now puts before the
public, I know; we should have had a different
th ng, and one n o e worthy the public confidence.
I am anxious to reps r the wrong I have done the
public by that cert ficate sa las ly given, an!
thus pat you in possession ot tbe above tacts, which
you mav use as you think proper,
Very respectfully,
JAMES R. CHILES.
Dr. M» A. Simmons’ Vegetable Liver Medicine is
more highly recommended as a su e remedy for
diseases of the Liver, Stomach and liowels—for all
di -t as- 8 arising from a torpid or deranged state of
the Livei —than any other medicine in the whole
world ts for. any disease, or class of diseases, what
ever. It has mote certificate , and better ones,
front exactly the right class of people, than any oth
er med erne. Consequently, there are more *fa
certain class of men trying to counterfeit it, steal
its reputation, and get money dishonestly upon its
good name, than any other medicine.
Be particular always to write or ask for Dr. M.
A. Simmons’ Liver Medicine. Every box of ibe
genuine is enveloped in a steel-plate engrave wrap
per, containing the miniature and autograph of the
proprietor. When you get a box preserve tbe
wrapper for a counterfeit detec'or.

The Doc'or treats all diseases, in their various forms and stages, without the use of Calomel or Mercu
ry in any form, Strychnine, Quinine or Arsenic, or any poisonous substance whatever; bis remedies be
ing compounded by himself, and composed eutirely of Itoots, Herbs. Barks, Seeds, etc , purely vegetable,
and highly electrical—remedies that do net weaken or debilitate the system in the least, but strengthen,
vitalise and invigorate ; neither do they prevent ths patient from attending to his or her every day busi
ness. Particular attention paid to
Diseases of the Eye and Ear*
Tbe Doctor has visited many of the cities two, three, and four times over, and has soceessfolly treated
more than 1200 persons in the States of Georgia and Alabama alone, and more than 2500 if we include
Kentucky and Tennessee, and over 3700 including North and South Carolina, very many ot whom were
pronounced incurably by theif attending physicians, and given up to die, but who to day, thank God,
r e still i>i the land of tbe livittg, and in the enj tvtnent of perfect health, pursuing their usual avocations.
The Doctor does not make these statements becau e he considers bimself more skillful than those oth
er physicians, but simply because he sincerely bed-Ves that the remedies which be employs will prove
much mo-e etb. ..cious, and are more completely adapted to the treatment of diseases, especially those of
a Chronic' nature.
AFFLICTED, READ CAREFULLY.
Consider seriously and unprejudioially, and act immediately, Cail at once at his rooms, as tbe Doctor
charges nothing sot consultation and advice.
Tbe Doctor furnishes all the necessary remedies at once to remove the complaint thoroughly and per
manently, at a very reasonable price.
The Doctor, ‘if he call Cure you, or even benefit you, will tell you so? if he cannot, he will so inform
you, and will, not take your case in band.
Patients visited at their own houses from 5t06 p. m., if the Doctor is not otherwise engaged. Office
