Radical Slanders. The following is an extract from the epeech of one A. F. Dickerson at a meet ing of colored men iu New York, in aid of the negro exodus : The Rev. W. F. Dickerson said that he was recently in Georgia, and could say from actual observation that the old oppressor was seeking again to hind the chain® npon the wrists of the black man. New York’s voice must be heard, and it would have a great iflfect npon them. What was neces sary whs to move the sympathies of the people that real sentiments should he expressed, lie would not call op the ugly memories of the past, hot (be South had thrown down the gauntlet and they were obliged to take it up. - Eveq colored men will smile at this. It is amusing to read such accounts, because it shows the existence of a vast deal of inge nuity, and of a very poor sort at that. Now, we wouder wbaf that really good mao, Bishop Camp' who has been presiding over the Conferences of the A. M E Church, would say to this. He has had an opportu nity to see for himself how matters stand, and he could do himself a great deal of credit were he to refute the slanderous utterances above quoted. Nxw Road.—Lawrenceville has already twelve or thirteen thousand dollars subscrib ed toward building a narrow gauge ro»d to intersect with the Air-Line Irom that place. 'lbis will be one of tlje beat things that ever happened lor Lnwrenceville. W« wish them success—Conyers Examiner. If thi* system of railroad building contin ues, everybody can go to mill on the cars after awhile. Whatever may be said in opposition to them, railroads are a wonderful convenience. There’s no denying this fact. Chandupr—A letter in the Savannah Eevs hai ibis with reference to old Zaeb Chandler: ‘•This great statesman is row receiving ■nbonnded praise from the Ridicale. Hie speech on ex President Davis has taken the stalwarts by storm, and they rally aioutd f.'m solidly. Another cause of tbeir bestow al o! bo much praise upon him is that he cop verted Hayes to stnlwartism. Thus are men mode truly great First thing they know. Zach will be asking tbe Radicals to make him theft next President.” Of coarse. Every Radical boot-lick in Washington is ready to howl, “Great is Chandler, of Michigan 1” for two very po tent reasons. First, because be ia liberal in his gifts of whisky ; and, second, because be has a large patronage in bis hands. Divest the Senator of thi*. sad there would be few ! to dohirn hoocr, • | Memorial Day. Once more do we come to offer the tribute of loving hearts to the dead heroes of a cause that is lost, but which is still dear iu mem ory. Once more we walk among the tombs of men who won fame and glory amid th* shock of battle. Here we pause, for the earth we tread is holy, and the associations call np and revive memories of a momentous era. Peace now sheds its gentle radiance upon the lend. The earth no longer trembles benesth the tread of hostile sqnadronß marching in battle array. The horrors of the late struggle between the two grpat sec tions are buried in the mbbish of the past, but the heroism of onr brave soldiers can never be forgotten. The memories which cluster around these will live in the hearts of onr people from generation to generation, and Will be perpetnated in poetry and in song. Tbe battle-fields of Virginia and elsewhere will become as shrines, and future orators will tell in “thoughts that breathe and words that born,” how Georgians fonght, and how they, fighting, fell ar.d died. His tories and school-books will keep the record fresh and bright, and loving hearts and will. iag band* will deem it a sacred duty to pre serve these cities of onr noble dead inviolate. For several years the custom of deco rating the soldiers’ graves with floral offer ings has been moat religiously observed, and each recurring anniversary has but deepened the resolve that it shall endure for all time. It is an occasion when all should onite in showing honor to our sleeping brave. Not alone the sorrowing mother or wi r e, but every frup-hearted woman will jon in the melancholy pleasure of testifying to patriot ism in adorning the Brave with flowpr*. And not one should lie overlooked. When all performed ell that mortal man could do, ro distinction should be made, Every one who matched beneath the flag of the Confederacy and died in its defense will be remembered, no matter how hamble or obscure. And here we taka pleasure in stating that in many parts of the State preparations arc being made for the due observance of this custom. There is no abatement in interest or in a sense of obligation with reference to it. To the contrary, there ia an incressed desire to add greater z st to the occasion. This is to be applauded. This added inter est gives assurance that the spirit exhibited by the founders of the Government lives and burns si ill in tbe hearts of their descendants. It attests the truth that Georgians admire courage, and remember their dead sods and comrades with reverential affection. We repeat, let our fair countrywomen especially, and those of the sterner sex as well, unite with one accord in paying respect to the loved and lost. They braved all, “ : “ l * J * u - *»!! • unci wo fcoroant to every noble feeling, to every lofty im pulse, to every exalted sentiment, should we fail in our duty now. Bat this appeal is unnecessary The in dications are too numerous that a general observance will he given to the day set apart for this special duty, and Tub Wpgxt.v will take hearty pleasure in recording such incidents as may be connected with it. Sports.—The walking and shooting mania seems to be oo the increase. Walking matches, shooting matches, and base bull matches are now being made op everywhore There appears to he a .desire to see how far b person can walk, how many bull’s-eyes be can hit or mis«, or how often he can catqb a ball in a given time. And the men are not alone in all this. Women are coming to the mark, armed and equipped as the regu lations prescribe, and all spurt around, shoot or catch with alacrity Yerily, the love of outdoor sport must indeed be exhilirating to enlist in its ranks such a host of frienda. Blub and Gray.—lt is proposed to make the sixth national reunion of soldiers, at Cambridge. Ohio, beginning August 26, the largest gathering of the kind ever held on this coutinent. It will be a commingling of blue and gray—veterans of both armies. Great preparations are being made, and many prominent meu of both sections will be piesent. A Coi.orkd Row.—Rev Frank Quarles, colored, was holding service in his church in Atlanta Sunday night when a row occutred Just as he commenced to preach, a colored brother from another church insisted upon going opstaits against the remonstrances of the officials of the chnrch. This brought on the d fficulty, and the fu*s began, which is thug described in the Atlanta Post.- “The brother’s fine coat was jerked open and badly torn. Then they ’weut together.’ Others joined in the melee. Rev. Quarles shouted loudly for ‘order.’ But order was impaled on the point of confusion and disorder. The congregation arose and perched itself on the backs of the benches. Some of the benches turned over. One of the sisters on the back of a bench exclaimed, 'Jest look at em honey,' and losing her balance, dived down between the benches. One over-zealous quixotic member of another church mounted upon the back of a bench and folding bis band, drew it back and let drive his fist against a lamp. Tliis proceeding broke the lamp chimney and scalped the colored gen tleman's fist. The light from the lamp was also extinguished The screaming and con fusion was demoniacal. A piece of brick came along and took a new hat from the bead of one of the sisters; about that time a wad of well chewed chewing tobacco struck one of the best dressed colored ladies square iu the face. Such scenes as (base were en acied lor some time, but finally ‘order was restored and the pastor proceeded with the Retries, «nd baptised about thirty persons.” Communicated.! Bible View of Heaven. Having been accused of “stopping mv plow in a hundred acre field to give a fellow a tilt in a theological discussion,” I shall not attempt ta deny the charge, bat will go far ther and give roy views to tha reader* <£ The Weekly, should you feel inclined tM give them to the public through your press" I have ever contended that without a firm foundation to bnild upon, nothing permanent can or ever will be substantially established*, and unless we, as erring and dying mortals, studv and endeavor to build npon a firm ‘rock, r onr fond hopes will never be realized, and we will ere long be nombered with the traoagressor. And the first thing that ex cites onr attention is that we are to leave this mundane sphere and try the realities of a world unknown to us ; that we are Imre in a state of probation. And where shall we go when the spirit shall break the bonds of this day 7 Yes; where shall we go 7 Now we want to know huw to answer this queS tion, and base it upon the strongest founda tion and best authority. Well, we wili be gin to examine that wonderful volume, the Holy Bible, Book of Books, and see what God, tbe Creator of all things, says in regard to it. In the 6th, 7ih and Bth verses of Genesis, we are told that God made a firma ment, and divided the waters which wera under the firmament from tbe wateis which were above the firmament, aod it L and hrsays that firmament is heaven, in** spirit world of ta-day, and God dwells therj. and all tha spirits ol the dead there te re main and enjoy eternal bliss or softer ever lasting woe, ontil the last day—that great, day of aS'iZ', when each and every one shall be judged according to the deeds done in the body—that is, according to their works. Now that question. Where shall we go, is answered : W# go to the heaven that God made in the beginning, and we cannot go any larther ; for the son! shall return to the God who gave it, whether it be good or bad- If good, to e'ernal bliss ; if bad, to everlast ing woe. Do we believe this ? The Great Author of all says this and it must be true; but I do hoqestly believe that the great tnasa of mankind, religious and irreligious, believe that ihe Heaven ol to-day is a ‘ v iRt en riched city, with streets of gold, and they shall wear shining crowns of gold and long white rohes; and moreover, golden slippers on their feet.” Delusive dream I vain hope! perishing faith I sandy foundation! And that is not all; they l>e!ieve that heaven that place of peace and purity, where God dwells at d reigns, and all his saints assembly to be bl ssed—is not where he says it is, btjt have broken through the blue vault of the sky and located it over on tbe other Ride, in their wild tower building*, and I am sorry to say it is promulgated irom our pulpits in this day of modern wi-dom and science. 1 say that the holy bible is simply truth in it* simplest form, und the heaven of to-day is just as God says it is in the verses referred to, and if correctly applied tbe space from that blue ethereal .-ky to the lowest sand-bed along tbe seashore is heaveu—the spirit world of to-day aod the past. Now, let us see if we can find nur future home spoken of in God’s Word. I fear many of ns will not find a very blissful abode in our future home ; but ull who overcome tfie world shall not only enjoy tbe heaven of the past and present, bat also their future boot* with a great inheritance ; lor Jesus. ( ! be IJlM't. Illul K-UJ -p..',) »«ys. “I go to prepare a place for you, that am ye may be also” Yes; the Babe of Bethlehem, the meek and lowly Jtsus, cruci fied, mocked and reviled, says be must leave us; lie must die, yet lie will not leave us comfortless; that he will conquer death* hell and the grave for us if we wili follow him. Has he done this, or is he doing it 7 Doesn’t be say, "Behold, [ made all things new K’ And these things are faithful and true : read the 21st chapter of Revelations, from Ist to Bth and the balance of the Book of Revelations if you will. He has not come yet; he lingers ; he is waiting for the com mand ; but he will come as sure as time roll** on aud tbe beaten that God made in Ihe begin ning, together with tbe sun, moon and stars and the earth, with the devil .and his angels, shall pass away as with a great noise to attar destruction—but tbe redeemed of the shall be caught up unto God and bis throneT and ;hut i;j the last of all God's former crea tion, spoken of in Genesis. He will then say, “It is done ; he that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be my son ” Then what an inheri tance we are to have L A new heaven and a new earth, and God shall dwell with men and be with them. Now can we not over come the world ; for lie says, “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of tbe tree of life, which is in Ihe midst of the paradise of God He that overcometh shall not be bait by the second death.. To him that overcoat eth will I give to eat of the bidden manna, and will give him a white atone, and in the stone a new name written which no man knoweth saving be that receivelh it. lie that overcomeib and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations, (and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers,) even as l receive of my lather—ai d I will give him ihe morn ing star. He that oreicometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment, and 1 will not blot his uame out of the nook of life, but I will eontess his name before my Father and before bis angels. He that overconieth will I make a pillar in the te uple ot my God, and he shall go out no more, aod I will write upoD him the name of ray Go<t and tne name ot the city ol my God. which is New Jerusalem, which Cometh down out of lieuveo from my God, auu 1 will write upon him my new name. To him that overcouteib will 1 graut to sit with me oo my throne, even as I also overcome and ant stt dmu with my Fattier m bis throne." So mote it be Zcpu. See This. Mr. Editor: —Asa matter of interest to mauy ot your readers, I send the following, which you will phase insert in the columns of Tax Wkkkly : D- Downee writes to the Christian Weekly concerning the immersion of over two thou sand couverL-i in lodia : “The people were arranged in groups, according to their vil lages. Only iwo preachers baptized at one time ; when those were tired two others took their places; these, in taru, were relieved by other two, and so on. The bapl>zmg com menced at about 5 a. m , and continued till I#. It wag resumed at 2 p. m., and com pitted at 6. It will thns be seen that the baptism of 2,222 converts occupied two preachers nine hours, or about 30 seconds for each candidate. If the six preachers had all been employed at the same time, the 2.222 converts would have been baptized in jnst three hour# 1" Now, if six preaehars ean immerse (as has been actually demonstrated) 2 222 people in three hours, how long woold it have taken : the twelve Apostles to immerse the "three thousand” on the memorable day of Pente cost 7 Answer —2 hours, 1 minute, and a few seconds! In view of thin fact; what becomes of the oft r»peated declarations that it was a phys icil impossibility for the twelve Apostles to immerse three thousand in one day 7 And, be it remembered, that this is not merely the unguarded charges of the uneducated and ' ignorant, bat one of the strong arguments of learn d pessimist against immersion in water as the only authorized “mode’’ of Christian baptism. Thus slowly, but surely, like all of God’s works in human affairs, is this heavenly truth being vindicated and proven beyond the possibility of a doobt. And if King James’ translators had been faithful to the heavenly trust confided to their keeping, and had translated ‘ B iptizo," instead of transfermg it, the Christian world would to day, no doubt, be a unit on this troublesome qneetion. But what a king’s edict prevented is gradually being overcome by tbe rulings of Him who is higher in wis : dom, greater in power, and far above all the earthly crowned monarebs In the universe. So let it be. J. L Adams Oak Lawn, Ga., April 2hf, 1879. Our Sunny Side Letter.

A recent libel suit in Moscow, in which city the atrhor of a quarto volume whs sub jected to a most ignominious punishment, very forcibly remolds one of the inestimable blessings enjoye I in a country in which the i freed >m of the pres? is a guaranteed and e - ■ tablished right. The facts iu the case re -1 termed to are as follows i. In the above-named city a goodly-sized book was published in vindication of the subject. The work contained stinging sar casms aimed at ilie venality of the officials, with many satirical and humorous allusions to bribe taking oud o’her iniquities. Even the Czurbirn-elf was handled without gloves, his acts were fiarlessiy denounced, and a powerful argument was adjuced in behalf of (be rights of his subjects. The mil-edmin istration of law was set forth iu strong, plain language. The book attracted general notice ; but this was bad for the author. He was ar rested and thrown into prison, ifter a short and summ ;ry trial his produc'ioo was pro nounced a libel, and he was cod 'tunned to “eat hisO'D words," or suffer the punish ment of the knout This terrible instrument •< torture is in the shape of a long whip or scourge, ami is composed of many tough thongs of thick, bard skin, plaited together -and interwoven with strands of stout wire. _Tbe criminal is stripped, and is 6rm!y bound *»o two stakes, which are sufficiently wide apart to admit the free motion @1 the head. The blows are laid upon the bare back, every Stroke cutting like a knife, and soon the victim of the scourge is a shapele-s ma<s of blood and flesh. One hundred blows is equ.valent to a death sentence This was t'be alleruat ve of the unhappy author. The day flxed for carrying the sentence of the court into expeutioo arrived. A plat form was erected in ooe ot the public (>< the ci’y. Bound band and loot, the vic tim of despotic power was sealed in the center ot the platlorm An immense con course of people had gatberej to witness the sfrange speciacle. The imperial provost, the magistrate, the physician and the surgeon ottheL’xrr were in attendance. The ob noxious book had been sepaiated fium its binding, and, as an act ot grace, the inargi n had been cut off The leaves were then roll'd up, not unlike cigar- lighters. And tb-.ie they were—a basketful. Now the meal began. Amid roars ol laU-bur from the tgnoiaot ami degraded populace, the provost served the author teat by leal with his own production, putting the rolls of paper one Oy one mu bis mo ah He slowly cbewed and swallowed one third oi his book, when tin medical gcotiemau concluded he had rtceived into his stomach as much of the inuutiitiou utaierial as was compatible with safety. He was iben recouducied to bis cell to digest bis meal, ihe two follow.ng days the same scene was enacted, until every leal was swal lowed, at.d as a matter ot tact be was com pelled to li.erally eat bis own wotds and least ou.bw own tuo. No amount ot oratory, either printed oi spoken, can d< floe, so eloquently as the above incident, toe chief glory and crowning safety t of a free ptess and a free governmsut. * The Race Hrablea and What it Involves. Tbe races, their present and future rela tion, is becoming the great question of the day, in its moral, political and social aspect It is a distnrbing question and always wijl be in popular governments. The question is sprung npon the Congres# ot the United States all at oftce. from two remote quarters, and appeals to Ihe states man and philanthropist for solution. Now that the slaves of the South are emancipated, and tbe immigration of the Chinese eannot be prohibited, the question of their relation to the whites comes up in its proper form for unprejudiced and wise legislation That there is antagonism between these three races which, in the nature of the case, d nies absolute equality, no sane man doqbtg. Unlike that between tbe conquering and the conquered races ia Europe, a* that between the dominant aud successful Russians and the unfortunate Poles, this antagonism be tween the races of different color cannot be overcome identity of intfrests or of reli gion, or by any combination of circnm stances The commingling of these races as in Mexico, where all three are lost in the Monyrel Mexican, the Indian being ol the same race of the Mongolian, is tbe moral degradation, and tbe certain decline and ultimate destruction of each as a race aud all as a nation. This natnral antagonism does Dot touch the question ol Christian duty, so lar as duty demands kindness and consjileration tor tbe well-being of all God’s creatures. But tbe question is: How ean that duty which our redgiou and patriotism mpnses be best per forated for the bemfit of all the racts uDd for tbe security and continued prosperity of tbe government 7 When the fanaticism which has roled the country since the war is banished Irom the halls ol Congress, and from the hustings, and from the pulpit, and from honest men’s mind- , the real difficulty of properly settling the question will be sten by all men. It involves the txtstet ce of tbe republic, and demands cautious and wise legislation. A despotic government would dispose of the question by consigning the inferior races to perpetual serfdom ; but the people of tbe Unittd Stutes are not yet willing to submit to a despotism, and. we have to meet tha difficulty as a Iree Chriatiau p*ople. — Green ville (S.
