It was his custom to demand security for JSfc the payment of notes at maturity, and it sjsil said that he subseqnently negotiated " the*# notes wlthont security and hy. pothecated the securities which lie had '‘^ received to secure tbs payment of itea he had negotiated.

The following la a synopsis of the sal mon delivered Sunday by Rev. J. B. Johnstone, possibly the last he preach in Americus. He leaves for Cor- dele this morning to attend conference. He chose his text from 2nd Corinthians, 5:17: "If any man be In Christ he Is a new creature."- • / fff. A jj j Jesus Christ ha* done a work In-, true Christians as well as for them, and never saves from the condemnation Of sin without saving from its power. Hence the only evidence a mao can give that be has a living end not a dead faith Is a holy life. “Say not that then hast royal blood in thy viens, and art born of God, unless tbou canst prove thy peM .ree by daring to be holy.” • If a man prefers to *"»«!;> at home or with a neighbor to g-’ing to prayer-meet ing; if be bad rather bear many sermons than practice one; If he talks about preachers end criticises their effort* in stead of praying for their success, or paying for their support; if he find* a thousand sins in bis brethren, instead of mortifying one in himself; In short, if he act* as if Christ was very holy to save him the trouble of being so, bit religion it only the cent of the hypocrite, or the raving of a self-deceiver. “If any man be In Christ Jeans, be is he tea new creature; old thlnge have passed away, and heboid all thing* have become new.” If man is a new creators in Christ Jesus, be loves the word of God. They may have loved it before; they may have been taught to read and reverence It from their very childhood. Their knowl edge of it may have been extensive and correct, yet no sooner are they converted than an untold beauty, which they never discovered before, gleams out on every page, and to them it becomes a rock of diamonds, their soul's wealth, a chain of pearls, their soul’s ornament. It be comes their sun-dtal, by which they dis cover tbe times; the balance by which they weigh their actions. Tbe martyrs and other holy men of God whose undy ing example has shone down to ns through the darkness of Intervening years, we will find that tbeir sturdy piety, vigorous faith, holy composure and unbendlog^princlples gathered daily strength from tbe study of God’s word. If we read the lives of the men most pre-eminent for usefulness in tbe church in modern times, we will find that they were men of "The Book." Cultivate an intimate and Intelligent acquaintance with God’s will In hie word. It will be a guide through a world of darkness and perplexity; wip ing tbs eye of sorrow; cheering tbe heart of sadness, snd flashing the light of it* glorious promises across the valley of the shadow of death. Another evidence of conversion is love for tbe Lord Jetns Christ Whenever you find a true Christian, without respect to clime, from the tor rid to the frigid zone, yon will And that, deeper than the love of home, deeper than than the love of kindred, deeper than the love of life Iteelf, I* love for Christ Another evidence is love for tbe brethren. And another evldenceof the new creat ure I* a strong desire for tbe salvation of the lost THE UNION DEPOT Is Among ths N.sr Fosalbllitlst—Albanj Playing la Lack. Ths railroad commission was In ses sion most of the day yesterday transact ing routine business. Tbe drcislon In the Albany depot case was yesterday rendered and sent to the superintendents of the different railroads entering Albany, It set* forth that ths people pf Albany have asked for bettor depot facilities, and, after an investigation by the com mission of thejcltlxens demands, the com mission bad decided tbet a union depot should be built The commission was somewhat pnsxled at first, owing to the fact that five railroad* converge at Al bany, and it was a complex question as to how many depots snd how huge they should be. ■The road* are given until January 1 to decide whether they will build tbo depot Colonel Irwin, representing tbe Ala bama Midland, appeared before tbe commission and asked that tbe road be relieved from the operation of Rale 1, which makes the leased lines amenable to the same rates as the road* that lease them. The commission will render its decis ion in this case by December 1. The remainder of the day wss occu pied by the commission in looking over the rates snd facte inbmitted by the tel egraph ana express companies.

AU Who Are of Scotch Descent An Inter ested. Yesterday wu St Andrew’* day, per haps one of tbe most universally ob served saint’s days In tbe calendar. Scotchmen and citizen* of Scotch de scent are all interested In the day, and to a great extent In its oburvance. Except tbe reference* In the gospel, there Is very little information In exist ence regarding the life and travels of ft. Andrew, wblcu will stand the test of critical Inquiry. The name Andrew Is of Greek origin, and bu been Interpreted as meaning brave man. In this respect tbe name commended Iteelf for adoption u that of the patron Mint of a brave people like the Scotch. SL Andrew wu born in ltethsaida, and came of a family of Albert. It I* only a matter of conjecture that he wu born abont B. C. 10. He ranked u the flrat worker u well u the first called among the dlielples, and this fact has won for him tbe title of "rook before tbe roek.” Andrew brought hit brother Peter to the Messiah. From the time he wu called to be an apostle he remained near hie Muter until tbe end. The foremost characteristic of 8L Andrew wu hli charity and loyalty. These two features characterize tbe Sons of St. Andrew Id tbe present day, and no countrymen or countrywomen connected with the kindly organization! of SL Andrew’s societies, no matter how poor, is permitted to sleep after death In the potter’s field. After the eruclflxlon 8L Andrew It supposed to have visited Europe and even Scotland. The Inflnenc* which hte memory gained upon Scotland wu never lost, and hu been felt In many ways He represents the patriotism of Scotch men at home and serves M a bond of nnion abroad. Wherever a few Scots or tbeir descendants can be gathered to gether they are generally organized under the name of SL Andrew's soci ety, and of these associations national sentiment and charity are the usual feature*. The SL Andrew’s society of Savannah te the oldest In the state, and one of the oldest in the country. It celebrates the 141st anniversary to-nighL It wu organised In the year 17M), only a few year* after the founding of the city It self, and Includes in Its membership some of the oldest families in the city and state.
