'Bryant, because of his avowed adhesion to the
'CongrOsslonal plan of reconstruction.

The Cisccs.—For once the driving rain and
wintry blast proved a Messing to the communi

by saved tc pleasure seekers.
We know of one poor individual who being
prevented by the inclemency of the day from

Abstract cf Rkv. Mr. Daniel’* Di.-cocr.se
JJkuvEr.En in this Baptist Church, Feb. -6t*>
1870.—lit Peler. sth chapter and Bth verst.—Sub
ject : “ The Devil.”
“ Who is he ?” was the gertlfeent quest lift.—
Answer : ** A creature.'”
There was a time when there Whs no devil t
consequently be cannot be self-existent, for God
only is uncreated and eternal an His essence.—
The devil has personality equal with any other>
creature. This is evident from the original of
the word, which is elways prefixed whh the art!"
cle “ the.”
It Will be remembered that 'the Savior was led
intA the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
But was the Tempter a person or a principle?
If the latter, who was its active and liv’r.g ex
ponent ? To assert that the Redeemer was tempt
ed of Ihmelf, is to run contrary to the who le
scope of His mission and character. Consisten
cy and the 'fitnes of things, at once fastens the
agency upon the devil, who must therefore have
personality, and a tangible and real presence.—
Again the devil is represented to be a liar and a
murderer frdrn The very beginning Bat how
can a principle or mere ftbslraction perpetrate
crime? He (the devil) is therefore A oreatare, a
living creature, the work of God’s own bauds,
and an active agent for mischief.
He was also originally cieuted holy. All things
were pure and holy when first they came from
the plastic band of the Creatior. Even man was
made upright and formed in the express image
of his divine Architect. But all created pofrtfr
is limited. The power of the evil 6ne is very
great, but he is neither omnipotent or omnipres"
eat, and this knowledge is most comforting to
the disciple. '
As to the precise date of the devil’s creation
and adveut, in the absence of direct proof, we
can only indulge in speculation. It certainly
occurred, however, before the fall of out first
parents. Nor can we realist how a puro and ho-
ly being could relapse into sin, without tempter
or provocation. Yet the word of God emphati
cally atle3‘.s it ; and shall the finite mini fall
out with the sacred oracles, aud call in question
the acts and purposes of Deity, because they are
incomprenensible ?
We are also ignorant of the peculiar sin which
resulted in the downfall of the devil, who was
once an angel of light, Pride, however, is be
lieved to be the origin of bis rain.
He would remark, in the next place, that Satan
is the instigator and bead of all opposition and
rebellion against God. He was the first rebel
and the author.of all rebellion. , , r
In passing, ho would add. that all sinners and
rebels are leagued.with the devil. But it may
be asked how is tills compatible with Satan’s
limited power, and no/i-omniprescnce ? In (his
way : that he has co-laborers and a multitude of
sub-agents, who do bis bidding and aid him in
the fell work of man’s destruction. Thus it was
written that “ soma performed miracles iu tho
name of Be!z> bub, the prince of devils,’’ and
I’atil also calls him •* the prince of the powers
©f the air, and over all demons and evil influ
ences.’’ Let-us therefore hate the devil, even if
there was no truffa in religioh, because of his
opposition to nil good.
We ci mi now to the ch a fabler of ’the e'vtl One:
Ist. He is malignant. God is all goond-ss. —
Satan, the parent of all mischief 1 . The latter lias
no hoi*rt'to love and no conscience to feel. With
him Iniquity is an ever active principle.
2d. lie is implacable. On earth, even tie
sternest may be reached by some agency, but the
devil is immovable in his malice anil wicked de
signs. The wail of the feeble infant, the cry of
the unfortunate, are alike unheeded by him.
3d. lie is insatiable. .His 'thirst for blood is
like the bottomless ocean—unfathomable. Tbe
grand catastrophe which befel the antediluvian
world, could not satisfy his hate. Even now,
too, lie may have within his toils, Fame of our
own dear relations and friends, yet he will never
be Content unt'l oar ruin likewise has been
achieved.
Ith. He is untiting In tlie ptoheefttion of his
hellish purposes. Like the sentinel, he ever
goes his rowtids. seeking, with sleepless vigilance,
to compass the destruction of the immortal soul.
Nofepnlse can and uiAt ot baffle him.
sth. He Is Wise and‘subtle iti his plank to en
trap the unwary. So.<-l.im when in the form of
the wily serpent, he crept into Eden, and led in
to sin, by his arts, ft pure and lovely being. So
to this day, he can lure us into the paths of ini
quity, even when fore warned and with otlr eyes
enlightened as to his true character. His dis
similation is perfect, When it suits his designs
he also throws off the mask, and like a rOaf-ing
•ion goeth about seeking whom he may devour.
Gth. The devil is the world's adversary. He
s tks the perdition of the entire race of man.—
The humblest as well as the greatest are objects
of Uis nefarious schemes. Ho will lot none es
cape his net. Hence we find him in the work
shop, at the merchant's desk, in our homes, and
even in God’s sanctuary, striving to lea’ll us into
temptation and sin. Especially is it his delight
to beset tbe anxious sinner and thwart tbe salva
tion of his pfeCious soul.
The power of the gospel, and the influences of
the holy spirit, can alone baffle and defeat the
insidious designs of tbe enemy of souls.
In view of all this, tee Apostle says '• be so
ber and vigilant,” Not that you should exhibit
the long face and sanctimonious demeanor of the
Pharisaical ascetic, but that gravity and decorum
which mark the genuine Christian. A gravity
which is tempered also by a cheerful spirit, and
happy bearing.
Finally, let us resist with tireless vigilance our
cunning adversary. Keep out cf those dark
places, where temptation assails the more surely.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you.-
Drag him forth in all bis deformity from his se
cret lurking places hi your hearts. Detect, ex
pose, exorcise hint by the power of the gospel,
and th.- operations of the holy sp.rit.
In the words of the text “Be sober, be vigi
iant, becau e your adversary, the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he
may devour.’*

SS-The writer will vouch for tbe tru h of tbe
follow n s incident, wLich he had from the lips
of a lady who witnessed it.
Rev. Dr. Willard Preston, 'the venerable pas
tor of the Independent Presbyterian church in
Savannah, who has long since been gathered to
his fathers, was reading a rather prosaic dis
course on a certain sabbath, when suddenly an
ban st sailor just in from a >ong voyage ap
peared in a con. picuoes position in the crow
ded gallery.
Jacks face was full of interested cariosity
and long, and patiently did he listen !t 0 the doc/
tors learned disquisition upon the Mosaic law.
At length, growing 4/eary however, from tbe
capacious pocket of his pea jacket he drew forth
a black jrnk bottle, and pulling the ; eoik -audi
bly. thus addressed the minister.
Stranger yoit have bad a heap to say about
Mr. Moses, and by your account he must be a
dam clever fellow, stranger here’s to Mr. Moses.
With this the block bott'e was elevated in the
air and the gurgKng sound shewed that full jus
tice had even rendered to tbe toast.
The reader may imagine the effect upon, the
audience.
For the Children. —This is the season of the
year when birds are trapped or snared with nets.
Judging from the number of little shingle con
trivances which are “ set ” almost in every field
and fence corner, quite a trapping mania exists
among the boys, and the flftfc birds are having
a hard struggle for their liberty.
Two little urchins (brothers >-had been untiring
in their efforts to make captives of the little war
blers, but kep’t such a close watch upon their
-trapsin the vegetable garden (visiting them about
‘every five minutes) that the Wary birds smelt a
rat aud vacated the premises.
Their father, however, wishing to have a little
amusement, purchased a beautiful red bird on
the Square, and while they were at school, placed
it in one of Ehe trap3 in the garden. Soon they
came home and were wild with delight at the
discovery of their beautiful captive. Forthwith
going to work, they made four other traps and
get them all side by side in the same spot.
To this moment they believe they really did
catch the red bird.
Now children, what say you, should that pa
rent, on the principle that deception is never
justifiable, destroy the triumph of-his boys, by
telling them the truth concerning the red bird ?
Won’t some of oar little readers answer this
question ?

The Governor in His Message Errs
About the Election of Senator Mil
ler.—Governor Bullock, in his message,
says that Dr. Miller’s majority on joint
baliot was only fourteen, and if the twen
ty-five disqualified members had been
thrown out he could not have been elec
ted*
This is an egregious error.
The vote stood thus: Miller 120;
Blodgett 72-; Seward 13; Akerman 6
majority 29 over nil candi
dates. If the whole 25 had voted for
him he would still have been elected by
four votes-; but three of the disqualified
did not vote, so that his election was
still certain by 7 votes—a majority of
those Admitted to be qualified-.
Thus Governor Bullock’s argument
tumbles fiat, that the election is null be
cause carried by illegal votes. Aud he
stands convicted of a willful mistepre
sentution of facts for his partisan
schemes.
The cool audacity of a falsO statement,
that the records, in everybody’s grasp,
must falsify, of course calculated that a
solemn official document would carry
the error where its refutation might not
reach ; or else it was merely furnished
as an excuse for those who reck nothing
whether the excuse be false or true, so
it serves tbe purpose of a pretext.
We call Governor Bullock’s attention
to the error. Let us see if he will cor~

Wtto Afcß the Kepumators. —During
the repudiation debate in the Federal
House last week, Mr. Cox, of this city,
said one very pointed thing, and'said it
as follows :
‘You talk of repudiation. Are not
the legal tenders a debt? Did you not
promise to redeem that debt in g-old
and silver at the end of the war ? is
there any means provided for paying
that- debt and redeeming it in gold ? 1
charge you, Radicals, who are gather
ed about me) either that you have not
the skill or the courage to frame or pass
a pfun to save your party from the re
pudiation of your irredeemable money,
and I denounce this and all other of
your schemes of repudiation, whether
of greenbacks or of the guarantees of
the Constitution.’
If Mr. Cox could not put himself on
record in behalf of the people’s inter
ests, it was very proper he should de
uounoe the schemes of the administra
tion party for repudiation. And while
that party maims to he the only anti re-,
pudiation, it was very proper they
should be exposed.
The question now is, who can make
the strongest denials and the most oi
them ?
Democratic Congressmen do not re
pudiate. Republican Congressmen do
not repudiate. Verily our Federal Leg
islature was never so harmonious and
so unanimous as now. — -2f. Y. Democrat

Chase delivered the opinion of the Court,
sustaning the decision of the Court be
low, and holding that a contract made
before the legal tender law could not be
discharged in United States notes. Tbe
opinion is very long, and discusses at
great length the powers of Congress.—
It holds that Cougreas had no right to
make government notes a legal tender

discussed the political situation fully.
The President stated that although
his first impressions were that the ac
tion of the Legislature prevu. us to the
expulsion of the colored members was
legal and binding, and the election of
Senators was to hrtid good, he was satis
fied, after more mature reflection, that
the present legislative organization was
the first, and that all action should be
commenced therefrom. He inquired
who the Republicans would elect Sena
tors, to which the delegation responded
that no nominations had yet been made,
but would probably fie on Monday, and
an election held on Tuesday. No doubt
they would be 103 ml Republicans.
The President said both ho and Sher
man had entire confidence in Terry, and
he would fully advise them j>f the situa
tion in a few days, as he would be here
on public business. The delegation al
so expressed confidence in Terry’s judg
ment and ability.

—The following communication was to

States military authorities since the pas
sage of the last act relative to the re-ad
mission of Georgia, and any opinion as
to the eligibility of the mombcis of the
Legisfaiu e of Georgia:
“I have given no official opinion in
writ ng in relation to the affairs in
Georgia, and have not in my possession
a copy of any communication such as is
referred to by the resolution. The ques
tions arising in relation to the recon
struction of Georgia have sometimes
been the subject of conversation between
the President, the Secretary of War,
the General of the Army mid myself;
and I have expressed opinions upon
some of the questions, but not in such a
formal aud official maimer that I under
stood they we. e to be the subject of ac
tion. On one occasion, in conversation
with the President, the General of the
Army was present, and 1 intimated to
him the views I took upon one or two
questions, and at the request made a
short memoradum of them in writing,
which he took, of which 1 retained no
copy, and am, therefore, unable to fur-
Dish one. lam not aware of any other
fact maternal to the request contained in
the resolution of your honorable body,
and have only mentioned the foregoing
from an uncertainty whether the 1 resi

sidered as military authorities within its
meaning.”
Remarkabrf. Case of Honesty. —ln
the year 1857, a citizen of Brooks coun
ty purchased U negro, and gave his note
for SI,OOO as the consideration. Al
though the negro proved unsound, the
purchaser, at various periods anterior to
aod since the war, made payments on
his note, and or. last Wednesday, visit
ed Quitman, paid over three hundred
dollars to the holder of his obligation,
and carried it off in triumph. The to
tal amount paid was one ihousand six
hundred dollars; and when we take in
to consideration the facts that the npgrd
proved unsound, that he was emancipa
ted by the government, and all such
debts"declared null and void, VVC are of
the opinion that it can be referred to as
an extraordinary act of honesty in these
days of general demoralization and re
pudiation. — Quitman Banner.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
for Ptjßmrnre the bhood,
a The reputation this ex

- ls\ is derived from its cures-,
mS~ ' Jji many of which are truly
"eh- I marvellous. Inveterate
cases of Scrofulous dis
fi 9 am ease > where the system
I seemed saturated with
\ corruption, have been
JjV. purified and cured by it.
jb: Scrofulous affections and
_ disorders,which were ag
pravatetl by the scrofu
: 1 ™ lens cion lamination until
they were painfully afflicting, have been radically
bured in such great numbers in almost every sec
tion of the country, thgt the public scarcely need
to he informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destruc
tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and
unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the con
stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or fa
tal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its
presence.. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then; on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among th#
vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly
deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed
in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions
im the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of
the body. Hence, the occasional use of. a bottle
Os this Sarsaparilla Is advisable, etch when no
active symptoms of disease appear. Persons af

Use of this SA RSAPARFF CA: St. Antho

Rheum, Scald Read, Ringworm, Sore Eyes,
Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms
of Scrofulous diseas’e. Also In the more con
cealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy', Heart
Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, S’curalgia, and
the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular
and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Dis
eases are cured by it, though a long time is ref
quired for subduing these obs.tinate maladies, by
any medicine. But long-continued use of this
medicine will cure the complaint. Eeucorrhcea
or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female
Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ulti
mately cured by its purifying and invigorating
effect. Minute directions for each case ate found

and Oout, when caused by accumulations of ex
traneous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it,
as also Fiver Complaints, Torpidity, Conges

dice, when arising, as they often do, from the
rankling poisons in the blo’od. This SARBA
PARIFFA is a great restorer for the strength
and vigor of the system. Those who are Fan
guid and Fistless, Despondent, Sleepless,
and troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or

Weakness, will find immediate relief and con
vincing evidence of its restorative power upon

W. Schley A Co.—Gentlemen : lour letter of the 6th instant is at band, and I hasten to reply
I am much pleased with >our Fertiliser, and take great pleasure in adding my testimony to its valuabli
qualities. lam new satisfied that where I used two hundred and fifty pounds per acre on cotton th.
yield has been increased at least fitly ptr'ceot. In this vear’s experiments it excelled Diioo’s *'onuttt*
and to show yoii my estimation of its Value as a Fertilizer, you can seud me oue hundred tons wM»ii

W». Schley & Co.-GentleAien : I purchased i f e* tons ot your GeoYgia Fertilizer last inn.
which I applied to fifiy acres of land in Colton, at the rate of two houdVed and fifty pounds per icre—
The laud was broken from eight to ten inches and ibe Fertiliser applied tulbe botiom of the bed t'h.
yield was very satisfactory. I shall gather oVer thirty bales of cotton from ibe field. Without anmiM
with common preparation, it would not have yielded over six or eight hundn and pounds per acre With
good seasons it would have ma'-.fe one bale of five hundred pounds per ache. Your Fertilizer excelled stir
other that I used in producing h. creed one-third to onP-fourlh larger; and but for the fact that the seed
used was poor and mixed, the yield of iruit woti'd have been greater than any other cotton grown bV
me. I aril satisfied that yuUr Fertilizer is vaiuible, and wilt SVand a drought better than any other JeH
til zer used in my section. lam sure that on tn.y land, with piojior preparation, good culture and tb-e*
