The Unpardonable Sjx.— ln pursuance of a
notice previously given. Rev. Dr. Teasdale, pro
ceeded on Thursday evening last, to address a
large audience at the Baptist Church, upon this
fearful and mysterious theme, it is a subject
few have the temerity to approach, and yet about
which a terrible and almost weird interest at
taches.
Tlie text of this undaunted divine, was drawn
from Ist John, sth chapter and I6th veree.—
“There is a sin unto death.” Taking only an
occasional note in the dim light of the church,
we cannot pretend to follow very closely 'the
line of ar rument pursued, nor render justice to
the earnest and gifted speaker.
He said —This was called a sin unto death be
cause it alone deserves that doom. All siDs,
evon the slightest, against the divine law, if un
repented of and not forgiven are fatal offences'.—
The wages of siu is death. But the eritue under
review is emphatically styled the sin unto death,
because the guilty perpetrator, binds and con
signs himself unto damnation,as surely as though
actually enduring the torments of bell.
There can be no forgiveness Tor the sin against
the holy Ghost—even in the great heart of God
there is not mercy sufficient to pardon it. What
is this consuming sin ? It is not the ordinary
grieving of the Holy Spirit. That blessed mem
ber of the Trinity may be abused and derided
without incurring this penalty. Again, it does
not consist in the most flagrant of crimes.
Manasseh was a great sinner, yet he reperited
and cut down the groves and removed the high
places of idolatry, and was received again into
favor. So also Mary Magdalene was a degraded
and fallen woman, and Saul of Tarsus ealled
himself the very chief of sinners. Nor, in as
suming this unenviable distinction, was there
any affectation on his part ?
Perhaps thecalendar es crime never presented
a greater offender than this furious fanatic, who
persecuted the churches, and breathing oust fire
and slaughter against them, was en route for Da
mascus on an errand of diabolical hate and ma
lignity, when he was stricken down by the mes
senger of heaven, and converted into a chosen
vessel a bright and shining ligb't, an
qble, zealous and powerful defender of the faith
Thus did this great sinner obtain mercy and is
now in heaven. What an encouragement to the
transgressor who may thus be saved with an ev
erlasting salvation.
2d. It is not presumptnous sin. The case of
Peter furnishes a striking illustration under this
head. 1 his Apostle had been the close and cher
ished companion of tlje Redeemer—his boasted
advocate, and voluntary defender when assailed.
Yet Peter in the hour of his calamity like all the
rest deserted and denied his Lord with oaths and
blasphemy, and then went out, wept bitterly
and was forgiven.
He did not get the keys of heaven as our
.popish friends say, but became a mighty soldier
A>f the cross and filled a martyr’s grave.
Win passant, the impressive speaker then alluded
‘to 'the Ecumenical Council at Rome, and de
nounced. th esaeriligious dogma ot the Pope’s in
fallibility with scathing vehemence.
But the faithful Peter fell but once, and his ex
ample therefore should carry but little force
with ft
3d. Malicious sin does not constitute the unpar
donable sin. Saul of Tarsus hated the saints
with a cruel and vindictive hatred, ®ud even
when the glorious martyr, Stephen, was stoned
by an infuriated mob, he was a consenting party,
and even liekl the garments of his slayers. But
it has been seen even he obtained mercy.
4lh. It does not consist iu final iaipenitency
and unbelief. The Sabbath breaker, Ute blas
phemer, the infidel, the univtirsa'ist, will perish
without repentance, but all can find hope and
pardon through the blood and atonement of a
crucified and arisen Lord.
Nor is this dreadful crime confined to veteran
sinners and old offenders. It may be committed
in the spring tide and early morning of existence.
What then is this awtul and soul-destroying
siimgainst the Holy Ghost ?
Ho would answer, it consisted in the wilful
and mulicious rejection of the known truth as ir is
in Christ, cmijoined'with open apostasy.
Several peculiar characteristics enter into the
composition ot this sin : There must be mal'uf
in the heart and light in the head Peter bad the
light, but not the malice. If he had possessed
Saul’s malice he would have been dam tied.—
But with him there was no malice—he loved his
Lord. So Saul had no light in the understand
ing. He himself testifies, “ I obtained mercy
because I did it ignoi-aßffy,”
This sin may be committed by cither thought,
word or deed. The backslider may be reclaim
ed, and the vilest transgressor regenerated and
"Sanctified, but the enemy of God. the contemner
ol His truth and purity, tbe insidious
of men’s souls could expect neither hope nor
pardon. They that despised Moses’ law died by
the mouth of two or three witnesses ; but he who
did despite against the Holy Ghost, the tor
ments of the damned were his eternal portion
and heritage.
C.iristiau3 should bo careful therefore in pray
er, how they admitted that they had done de
spite against the Holy Spirit of God.
In conclusion he would state that five steps
or conditions were essential requisites to the
commission of the unpardonable sin. These were,
Ist. An opposing spirit.
2d. The opposition must be egtiinst the truth.
-Bd. It must be resistance to known truth.
4th. Wdful opposition to this known truth
must be manifested.
oth. Malice in the heart must be conjoined
with them all.
Let each improve the sfebject by the earnest
inquiry, do you hate God and despise Christ—do
you seek the perdition of companions and
friends? If your heart makes no affirmative re.
sponse, then be net discouraged, this awful sin
lies not at your door.
The faithful man of God then drew an affect
ing picture of the abiding and tender affection
of the wife for her husband—a love which could
surrender children and even life in behalf of its
object. This was illustrated in'the instance of a
certain praying wife, who besieged a throne of
grace, and besought her husband with teaT3 and
entreaties aud expostulations, on bended knees,
to abandon bis beaven-delying course, yet in
vaiu, for the doom of the Almighty had been
pronounced against him.
But we cannot dwell longer upon this inter
esting and thrillingiy important discourse, as
time aad space would fail us, nor have we the
ability to do so in the absence of a knowledge
of shorthand writing, as our notes were necessa
rily meagre and imperfect.
Finally; the speaker concluded w'rti) the earn
est exhortation to all, “ that they grieve not the
Holy Ghost, but make their peace With God.
and become reconciled to Him.”

Tub Lioxs and CcK.osrnsa of CctHßswr. -To
the visiting stranger, no object is more etrikieg
than the contents of that unpretending structure,
widely known and frequented, as Gann’s store.
From a diminutive brick front, you enter what
is supposed to be a very modest establishment.—
Oae glance along the brilliant and almost-iuter
niiaable perspective however, effectually dispels
the illusion. "
First, comes a magnificent assortment of dress
goods, embracing fabrics and patterns of every
conceivable style, all tastily aud artistically dis
played upoh the crowded shelves. Then heavy
goods, shoes and notions, varied and innumera
ble in detail. Then clothing of all styles for the
million, including'hats, caps, etc.
The above embraces one side of one division of
the store.
Facing about, the visitor sees a second rank
of merchandise piled to the ceiling, and support
ed upon racks and stands. Here may be found
saddlery, harness, furniture, hoop skiTts, ladies’
hats and bonnets in glass cases, and a thousand
other matters which time and space -may not per
mit us to enumerate.
Still in the rear of this, and arranged against
the opposite wall of the building and on the
counter, another class of goods appear in long
array. >
These include cutlery, crockery, furnishing'
goods, fancy groceries, farming implements, an
vils, blacksmith’s bellows, wooden ware, etc.
The apartment above described is hundreds
ol feet in length- But it comprises one of the
three divisions only of this wonderful bazaar.
Next in order is the heavy grocery depart
ment. Here bacon, sugar, flour, sailt, potatoes,
hollow ware, corn, and provisions for an hr my
are stored.
At this point, th" architect tired of the long
continuity of right liue, or because the lot gave
out in that direction, turned a short angle to the
r igbt. and another long vista opens up to view.
This is the coffin department, and the recepta
cle of unbroken packages of wholesale commod
ities. Here the dead may rest, and the living
feast.
But the long tramp through the endless avc
nues and 'passages of goods and wares which are
displayed on every side ere this, has exhausted
the strength of the visitor, and we ’woufid sug
gest. to Mr. Ghnn the propriety of improvising a
railway for his customers, with stopping points at
the entrance of each division of his mammoth
establishment.
In the centre of the whole, like a se: tinel ou
liis sentry box, sits the urbaHe and gentlemanly
proprietor in his office, ever watebful and ready
to greet his friends, and prompt to transact -the
financial business of the house.
In concluding this imperfect sketch ref-one of.
tbe lions of ottr city, we cordially endorse Mr.
Gunn’s advertising assertion, that its 'ike is not
t o be found in the State of Georgia.

that when the expenditure of a small sum will

taste, coupled with no inconsiderable degree of

The review of “Vasbti” however while doubt"
less to some extent just, may yet be character

It is a curious fact that what pleases the Oi

Religious Revival.— The meeting at the Bap
tist church is still progressing, and many are
inquiring the way of salvation uuder the stir,
ring appeals of Dr. Teasdale. Last night a
special discourse was addressd to the yonng la
dies and much interest was manifested. May
God speed the good work.
gggT Our beautiful Southland must
be, lor a time, under the heel of the op
pressor. The unprincipled Souyjern
renegade and the thievish Yauke« ad
venturer must control, for a season, the
destinies of the Southern people. Du
ring the period of their wicked domina
tion, there must necessarily be want,
misery and misrule. ‘When the wick
ed beareth rule, the people mourn. * *
For they sleep not, except they have
done and their sleep is taken
away unless they cause some to -fall.—;
For they eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.’ They
have grown fat and sleek upon the ruin
and desolation of the fairest portion of
the earth. Their hearts have leaped
with jcy when the voice of lamentation
and woe reached their ears.
But this ill-gotten wealth and this
fiendish joy cannot be of long duration.
‘The prosperity ol fools shall slay them.
* * * Shame shall be the promotion of
fools. * * * As the whirlwind passetb,
so is the wicked no more.’ Brief and
terrible as the sweep of the tornado
will be their rule—the wreck in their
pathway being the only monument of
their destructive career.
It is the part of every patriot to in
quire what is his duty and the duty of
his people id this transition epoch from
the oppression of the brutal and de
praved to the wise government of the
noble and the refined. What pursuits
shall be followed ? What occupations
shall be engaged in ? How shall ca
lamity be met and how shall adverse
fate be overcome?
These are the questions that will be
propounded in this newspaper. These
are the matters that will be discussed.
Our columns will be open to all lovers
of our oppressed section, who can give
a suggestion in regard -to relieving our
condition, to developing resources, to
increasing our material prosperity and
above all, to vindicating tbe truth of
history and preserving the honor and
integrity ol our people. We will wel
come every hint that will add anything
to the peace, comfort and happiness of
the Southern Home. All our hopes,
aims and desires centre Viere in the
South. Here we were born and here
we expect to die. Our whole uadivi.
ded couotry lies here and in this loved
sphere we will know no North, no South,
no East and no'West. We will cling
to the land of our birth wi.h an affec
tion and a devotion, w hich can be meas
ured only by the wrongs and euffjrings
it has endured. Others may seefe'more
favored skies ; we will wait till the
storm-cloud has passed away from our
own. Others may seek new scenes
and new friends; we will be content
with the old homestead and tire dear
familiar faces. Others may Covet a
more favored soil-; we wiH stand by the
desolated region, wren first by the gal
lantry of our ancestors and hallowed
fotever by the heart’s blood of the pur
est and best of our comrades in arms.—
Others may seek to forget the past-; we
will cherish by-gone memories as a
proud and glorious inheritance.
We have an abiding faith that the
pluck, energy and endurance of the
Southern people will triumph ultimate
ly over distress and disaster; yea, that
their very calamities will redound to
their fame and their fortune- Southern

number of other persons were slightly
wounded, The storm came down from
the southwest, tearing down trees and
everything in its course. Houses were
blown down in every direction. The
citizens have been on hand since 4
o’clock this morning, rendering aid to
the afflicted. The rain was pouring
down at the time iu torrents; women
and children were scattered around their
desolated homes in their nightclothes,
chilled through with the cold and rain.
G. W. Paynter was found some three
hundred yards from where his house
stood, undressed. Davidson was found
in a pond about one hundred yards from
bis house. When the house fell on Mrs.
Sterritt she bad a two-week’s-old baby

Two men slept upstairs in Davidson’s
house ; they were not much hurt.—
About sixty families are homeless, and

The storm passed over a portion of
this city, andbail-stohes tbe size of wal

of their smail limbs. Several drain pipes
burst, tearing large holes in the streets.
The river continues rising at the rate of
six inches per hour, "which is higher than
known before for ten years. All the oc

Prospective Havoc Among the
Judges.— The Augusta Chronicle of yes
terday says:
Bullock is .very ranch dissatisfied with
some of his Judges, and is determined,
fF be succeeds in securing a majority in
both Houses of the Legislature, to re
move quite a number of them.
Tlie Supreme Court will probably
first engage his attention. Brown and
Warner will be removed. MeCay will
take Brown’s place as Chief Justice,
'■rod Jim Johnson receive the position
made vacant’by McCay’s promotion.—
There are several aspirants, it is said,
for Warner’s place-. Among them we
have heard mentioned the names of Far
row. Dawse. Walker, Parrott, Pope,
Bigham and Hopkios.
No less than six, and perhaps more,
of the Superior Court Judges will be
made to “walk the plank.” Those who
have most excited the Bullock’s displeas
«re are Andrews, Cole, Schley, -Robin
son, Alexander aud Clarke. The cause
of his dislike to these gentlemen is said
to be tbeir refusal to cooperate with him
in bis attempts to overthrow the State
government and take the sole control of
affairs in bis own hands. Judge Schley
has given further offence by his decis
ion against the right of negroes to hold
office. Judge Cole is to be beheaded
because of his exertions to prevent the
appointment of Turner as Postmaster at
Macon, and Judge Andrews is pecsKar
ly objectionable on account of his de
cisions upon some of the recent Radical
-legislation.
Registered Letters and Mone* or>
deks. — Washington, January TB.,—Among
the recommendations submitted by the
postmasters lately in consultation here
are the following : Id favor of a reduc
tion of the registration fee Tor letters
from fifteen to six reduction of
charges to five cents on money orders
not above ten dollars in amount. The
Department is advised to urge the pub
lic to use these means of transmission,
and especially that attention be called
to the ease with which lost or mis-seQt
letters or packages when registered may
be traced ; also -to the certainly and
safety of the money order system, dis
couraging as far as possible the trans
mission of money and valuable papers
by ordinary letters..
tBT Common-Sense Deck* —What is the usu
al mode of procedure in -cases of general de
bility and nervous prostration ? Does not rea
son tell us that judicious stimulation is required.
To resort to violent-puFgation in such a case is
as absurd as it would be to bleed a starving man.
Yet it is done every day. Yes, this stupid and
unphilosopliical practice is continued in the teeth
of the great fact that pliysical weakness with all
the nervous disturbances that accompany it, is
more certainly and rapidly relieved by Hosh tr
ter'9 Stomach Bitters than by any other medi
cine at present known. It is true that general
debility is often attended with torpidity or ir_
regularity of the bowels, and that this symptom
must not be overlooked. But while the dis
charge of the waste matter of the system is ex
pedited or regulated,-its vigor must be recruised. —
The Bitters do both. They combine apertient
and antibilious properties, with extraordinary
tonic power. Even while removing obstructions
from the bowels, they tone arid invigorate those
organs. Through the stomach, upon which the
great vegetable specific acts directly, it gives a
healthy and permanet impetus to every enfeebled
funetion. D : gestion is facilitated, the faltering
circulation regulated, the blood reinforced with
anew accession of the alimentary ptinciple, the
nerves braced, and all the dormant powers of
the system roused into healthy action ; not spas
modically, as would be the case if a mere stim
ulant were administered, but for a continuance.
It is in this way that such extraordinary changes
are wrought in the condition of the feeble, ema
ciated and nervous invalids by the use of this
wonderful corrective, alterative and tonic. Let
common sense decide between such a preparation
and a prostrating cathartic snpplemeted by a
poisonous astringent like strychnine or quinia.

The land was broken from eight to ten inches and the Fertile,,- applied at the bottom ot the bed the
yield was very satis factory. I shall gather rfver thiriy hales of cortOn from the field. Without manure
with common preparation, it would n,t have yielded over six or eight hundr.-d pounds per acre With
good seasons it would have made one bate of fire hundred po-Jhits per acre. Your Fertiliser excelled an v
