DIXSON. Dr. Teasdat.e ox Uxiversaltsm.— We decline to report the Dootor3 sermon on Tuesday night because justice would require the publication, of the rejoinder which might be expected, and as several times announced, we do not desire the “Appeal” to be the vehicle of any religious chn tro "ersy. While we hold our own views on Veligibus subjects, and express them too at pleasure,we are free to concede the same liberty to all others of whatsoever creed or faith. But ours is a seo.u!ar journal, and we cannot surrender its columns to polemics and long win. ded, unsatisfactory, and interminable controver sial disputations. Nor do we wish to be the medium of advertis ing what we deem to be error. If a publick discussion was announced, we might simply as news report both sides of the question, to such extent as might not inpinge too much upon our space. Farther than this, we would not cosent to go. Telegraph & Messenger.—This consolidated Joaurnal is one of the ablest aail best conducted papers in tire South. The conjunction of the veteran and sagacious Clisby, with the chivalric and dashing lieQ3e, gives that juste milieu, that happy medium of Wisdom and vim, which must please all classes of its readers. We recently had the pleasure of taking by the hand Mr. Sistrunk the veryeffirient anl esti mable traveling agent of our Macon contem porary. By the way, a stranger to both editor and pub. Esher, he was ba lly sold in a most pertinacious and adroit attempt to get a subscription from each of us.

Having tested his calibre, wo can assure onr Macon brothers that in Mr. Sistrunk, they have dhe right man in tho right place.

I '.i’” yourselves, 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.” |W* We have on our table the first number of the .Plantation, a monthly serial, edited by T.

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.

A rapid glance at its contents, betrays through out, til's evidences of elegance, and a refined taste, coupled with no inconsiderable degree of literary mer it. - The review of “Vasbti” however while doubt" less to some extent just, may yet be character ized as rather harsh and uncharitable. It is a curious fact that what pleases the Oi polloi, is after all, usually the most permanent aild meritorious. There is a certain instinct and mother wit about the masses, which in most cases justifies their judgment of a Work. Nature, should be the great study ol the .author, and her homeliest scenes when pictured with fidelity, are ever pop ular and captivating. 'Miss Evans, every one knows, With all her de fects is a great and universal favorite. It is the possession of real genius which gives the charm to her productions, despite the caustic pbillipics of the critic. vve trust the “Cosmopolitan” under its gifted leadership, Is destined to give the lie to the as sertion, that literary magazines languish under Southern skies. Why should it be true ? 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 Home. Storms and Floods —A Town Des troyed in Kentucky.— A storm passed over Cairo city, on the Louisville and Nashville road,about 4o’clock onthe!7 about 50 houses in Cairo city and vicin'!" ty. Among the personskilled are George W. JPaynter, wife and child, Mrs. D. Stert'itt, A. Y. Davidson, John McOvven and child, *nd two persons namf>d Naugiiao. Airs. Fritz was mortally wounded, Miss M. Drane, Miss Neva!, J. 8. Foster, J. H. Brown. D, McK'm nie and wife, Dr. J. S. Wilson and wife, John Edwards and wife, and a large 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 in her arms ; the baby was not hurt.— Two men slept upstairs in Davidson’s house ; they were not much hurt.— About sixty families are homeless, and neefl instant aid. The storm passed over a portion of this city, andbail-stohes tbe size of wal nuts fell, stripping the trees completely 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 cupants of buildings on the levee and in the upper part of the city are vacating their premises. If the flood continues great destruction to property will ensue. The Georgia Bill Referred to Attor ney General Hoar. —We have received leliable information to day from Wash-" ington, that the Georgia Bill has been referred to Attorney General Hoar for bis legal interpretation, This is deemed hopeful tor the anti- Bnllock party iu this Slate.— Constitu tion. RErtrELiCAxs Ineligible. —We call General Terry’s attention to the un doubted fact that there are ineligible Republicans in tho Legislature. While his Court of Inquiry is looking into the eligibility oT Democrats, should it not be right to give some inqniry to these Re-, publican cases of ineligibility.— lbid. Democrats.- —The course the Demo cratic members have been pursuing has been eminently wise. They have been temperate, firm, sensible and wise.— Their calm adherence to duty has baffled the plots of the Radicals. Let them persist in the same conscientious and muuly course, alike unawed by menace, and unseduced by temptation.— lbid, It is currently rumored that the Bub loclntes, not satisfied with the Military Commission investigation now going on, as to the eligibility of the Democrats that have presented themselVes in obe dience to the late call of the Legislature, propose to unveil the past political re' cord of the lamented dead and declare them to have been unwashed, and there by fill their seats with their Radical op ponents. — Ibid.

He is elected to till ihe term of Governor Sharkey, which expires in 1871. 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. SPECIAL NOTICES.
