mind. Without wasting a moment he pr >-
cured some,pieces of goods boxes and

engineer can couple and unoouple cars at a

Special Cor. Telegraph and Messenger.
Greenville, B. 0., May 18,—Nearly all
the morning session was taken up in dis
cussing the subject of "Removal,” referr
ing to the home board, Joshua Levering,
of Baltimore, a good and liberal friend of
the board, who advocated its removal,
brought in the report, and made quite a
strong speech in favor of Atlanta because
ot its vim, enterprise and energetic) char
acter. He argued that the board would
die it it remained in Marion, Ala.
Dr. S. Henderson, of Alabama, favored
removal, bnt Dr. Winkler, of Alabama, vi
olently opposed it, and made the strongest
speech on that side, alluding to Atlanta aa
being a business place noted for its push,
but that did not necessarily make it a good
plaoe for the board. Mr. Lavering had al
luded to the process of disintegration go
ing on in tbe bounds of the territory of
the convention, and spoke of Tezat, Ar
kansas and Virginia as already seeking co
operation with the Northern Baptist
Home Mission Society, and to this Mr.
Winkler alluded, cbvrncterizing the matter
as an “invasion” by our Northern -breth
ren, acd saying that "we are being subsi
dized.’’ He ended with a strong appeal to
stand by and eastern the board. This speech
created something of a sensation. It
brought O. C. Pope to hia feet instantly.
Pope explained why southern Texas asked
end obtained $5,000 from the Northern
Home Mission. "Because they asked our
home board for help and they were unable
to grant it.’’ He avowed tbe atrongeet loy
alty to the home board. Dr. Burleson, of
northern Texas, di«avowed, on the part of
his seotion, any oo-ope ration with the
Northern board, i
Dr. Williams, of Baltimore, said (he re
moval waa a necessity, adding that when
oar Northern brethen gave money, dollar
for dollar, and required it to be reported to
the Northern Home Mission Board, it
looked like “undermining.” (Exclama
tions of assent). He thought the proper
and brotherly way would have been to give
freely, unhampered by conditions.

unpleasant feeliugs which prompted dtvi-i-
ions, but would not advocate a consolida
tion of organizations. Still, if oar North
ern or English brethren have a surplus of
funds, and are willing to give to us, let
take it; for one, he was ready for any i-uch
invasion as famishes ns tbe money to
plant the gospel in destitute places. Dr.
Winkler repUM that he bad no intention
of stigmatizing oor Northern brethren,
nor of casting a reproach on Atlanta. He
admired businesj success and enterprise but
businessmen could not devote their time
to the board. Business would monopolize
their attention. Even Governor Brown
oould not, marvelous as wa° his ability,
devote his time to the board. He disclaim
ed any sectional feeling, but said: “Tbe
Sputh is our territory. If our Northern
brethren wonld work through us, very
well I” But be does not wish them to in
terfere with our work. Apparently there
was a concerted effort to undermine and
destroy the Southern Baptist Convention.
We had just passed throngh the sea of fire
and blood, and now, while -we are praising
God with timbrel and hosanna*, be did not
want our Northern brethren, an Auntie-
kites, to come rushing upon us, spear in
band, amid the mountain defiles, to smite
and destroy us, in our weakness.
Dr. Hatcher, of Virginia, rejoiced to find
that the board was so strong, and that it
would mot' laok a home. Ho thought
we should be cautions about striking a
a city as wo might get struck. The contest
seemed to be between a quiet, civilizing,
orderly, pious, inland place, and an active,
wicked place, with many good men in it.
He liked Marion, though he bad never
been there, and thought it wss a good
place to raise children in, and had been
thinking of going there for that pnrpose
with Dr. J. win. Jones. But he thought if
the board staid there, soon the coroner’s
verdict would be “died a natural death.’
Aa to the board, it was such a well drilled,
conservative board that it would not be
contaminated even by tiodom, an 1 would
thrivo spiritually, 6ven in Atlanta. He
liked the energetic spirit of Atlanta, and
the men that mnke money, and hoped
the board would be placed where it coaid
cat *h that spirit and make money, and
the best way to avert “invasion” .was to
cultivate among ourselves tho business vi
tality and activity characteristic of Atlan
ta. If eocuring monied help from the
North was going to create strife among
us and promote Southern “disintegration,”
he was opposed to getting tnouojr at tlio
North and wontd not advocate it (Amen!
amen!) Dr. E. W. Warren paid a hi; '
tribute to the present board, but thoug
that the time for a new departure had
come, and that the work of tho Home
Board shonld bh pushed and enlarged.
Her. G. R. M .-Call feared the presence
of tho Home Board in Georgia might have
an effect on our Stato Mission Board, and
wished to know if AUanta could furnish
the men for two boards.
Dr. Warre t replied, that among tho sev
en Baptist churches of Atlanta, he thought
enough wise, active and energetio men
might be found for the two boards, and did
not think the location of the Homo Board
in Atlanta wonld affect our State Board.
The vote, taken just before dinner, stood
222 for, and 13 against, removal to Atlanta.
So tbe decision was “too utterly too too,”
for any hope of reversal.
Tho number of delegates is 360, and it
is apparent that some did not vote—(per
haps Georgians, from motives of delicacy.)

FOURTH DAT—AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. |
Greenville, May 14.— 1 This letter must
close my report, which I have sought to
make as brief as possible, allnding merely
to the most important matters. Shortly
after dinner on Saturday, Dff. Boyce, chair
manof the special committee of fifteen,
to which the letter from the American and
Foreign Bible Society feadbeen referred,
and to which the matter of Bible transla
tion by the American Bible Society had
also boen referred, brought the following
fimplo and short report, relating to the
latter, which, after several speeches, was
“Besotted, That wo gravely disapprove
of the action of the American Bible (socie
ty in refnsing to aid in tho publication
and circulation of the Burmeso version of
Dr. Judson, the aeoepted and only version
of <he scriptures in that language.”

the providence of God seem practicable
and expedient for giving to the world the
pure word of Goth” _
report, which embodied in brie* resolutions
that Drs. Hiscox and Douglass, bo frater
nally received, but that in view of existing
complications, dertinod to enter into any
discussion or consideration of matters re
lating to the Bible question.
This resolution was adopted almost
unanimously. Tbe president then descend
ed to the floor and shook hands fraternnl-
h with Or-, lliscox ami Douglass, ami on
motion those gentlemen were invited to
addre-s the eouveutiou on Babjects other
than tho pending difference between tho
convention and the Bible Society.
Mr. Hiscox spoke on tho work of (ho
Homo Mission Society of the North, nud
briefly but vigoronsly defended it from the
imputation of seeking to injure the home
board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
.The Doctor ie a venerable looking gentle
man, of very courteous mannois, who
stands exceedingly high among Northern
Baptiste, and hie not receiving an appoint
ment to proach on Sabbath excited some
remark among the Southern delegatee. He
is the author of several valuable Baptist
-works. His spo'-ch was interesting, and
fall cd information, relating among other
things that his society had spent more
than a million dollars in erecti> g buildings
and carrying on schools among the colored
neopie of the South and the Indians of the
West—having thireen schools in all. They
had raised about $3<K),000in this thje jnbitee
year, and the society wi\^ reliovod o( debt
and had $7,000 in its trea-nry.
An interesting report on onr
Mexican mi-sion was adopted after
a couple of encouraging speerhc*,

of Georgia. A resolution, advocated by

Mr. Thompson supported the report in a

which the Presbyterian] Sabbath com
mittee requested co-operation in endeav

ter. The report presented simply recom
mended efforta by Christians, in the ca
pacity of citizens, to teecure legislation or
congressional enactment for the abolition
of tiunday work. This wss in accordance
with a principle of non-interference of
cbnrch with State, and of State with

On motion of Mr. Lawton, of Atlanta,
the members of the convention who visit

THE MANVFACTl’BE OF COW-
POX VI It VS
At tbe Slate Vnf versify, and the Re.
•nlUThat Have Been Realized.
Baton Bouts (La.) Capitcliau.
Dr. J. W. Dnpree, a few days ago. kind
ly gave os an opportunity of seeing the
process by whiob the cow-pox virus is
formed and collected. The depot was es
tablished by President Johnston, at the
Stato Uuiversitv, and most of the work is
done by the cadets, with Mr. Carruth in
charge, and under ihe supervision of Dr.
Dupree.
The animals used are youcg heifers,
from one tc two years old, and are furnish
ed from the doctor’s stock farm, and were
thrown by Red Bell (short horn Durham)
and Kean Richard’s (Arabian) from gra*e
Creole cows. They are Lot confined but
are permitted to graze upon the University
grounds, and are kept under good sanita
ry conditions. Lymph is taken from typi
cal vesicles only, each heifer producing
from one to twenty Vesicles. Lymph, not
blood pus oemm epidermis or debris, is dis
tributed. Ivory points, capillary tabes and
glass capsules are used as vehicles for
lymph and crusts. Quality not quantity is
their motto. From two to three hundred
ivory points are charged from one heifer.
The lymph is collected by removing the
crust and gently pressing ths vesicle be
tween the bl ties of a pair of dressing
forceps. It is then received in capillary
tubes or on ivory points or quill slips. Tho
crusti are dissolved in glycerine,
end kept ready for use in glass
capsules. Lymph has been freely dis
tributed all over the Stato and not
a single failure has been reported. The
State Board of Health reports success with
it. Two vesicles front heifer transmitted
cow pox, are regarded as aaffioiont to pro
tect against small-pox, while four are re
quired from human virus. Statistics sus
tain tho doctrine that good vaccination in
early infancy, while it may fail to pre
vent small pox, yet wonderfully modifies
the severity and reduces the mortality
and disfigurement in the terrible disease.
They also prove that efficient revaccina
tion or primary vaccination in adnlt
lifo when the virus used is not too
far removed from the oow protects
eo completely that enses of small
pox following are as rare as second at
tacks of small-pox. Not a single case of
small-pox has been reported after efficient
secondary or primary vaooinntion in adult
life when true bovine virus was usod.
Syphilis which has undoubtedly been trans
mitted by humanized virus is impossible
with oow-pox vaccination, and Dr. Martin,
who is good authority, asserts that ho
□over knew erysipelas to follow vaccina
tion from oew-pox virus.
TARGET PRACTICE.
The Volunteers at tho Park Fester-
•lay Afternoon,
Yesterday afternoon the Volunteers', in
command of Captain G.-rnos, marched to
the park to shoot for the handsome medal
won by Air. Georgo F. Payno on the anni
versary of the company, and returnod be
cause be had been tbe victor in so many

Quite a crowd assembled to see the
sport. Tho target was placed in tho oat
field, two hundred yards having been
measured off. The company was stationed
in the shadow of the grand stand, thus
affording a coo] placo for th
ample aoccmmoaatii

Mr. Charles Taylor, Unole Newt. Wood

For revera! weeks Macon has been flood
ed with reports of alt kinds anent tho exist
ence of ema!!-pox in Atlanta. These re
ports were not confined to onr city alone.
They traveled on swift wings, and were
borne to every other city and town in the
&trfte. They painted the Gate City in
gloomiest colors. It was small-pox all
over the town, red flags flying from every
other hoose, snd the disease kilting pec pie
up at the rate of fifty per day. The re
ports published in the Constitution were
not believed, because it was generally sup
posed that it would naturally seek to hide
anything tending to injure the city.
Hence, there was nothing left bnt the
rumors to believe. Tho consequence was
they rolled and magnified until it was con- con
sidered no more than dowright suicide to
go to Atlanta, or even go through it to the
North or the summer resorts. Farmers
and others near Atlanta ceased iheir visits,
and ths result cf it all,is an almost entire
stoppage of trade. Atlanta suffers more
to-day by tbe work of sensational idiots
than by the small-pox.
With a view to getting the true status of
the spread, an J a thorough investigation as
to the safety of people going to or passing
through Atlanta, our reporter was dis
patched to that oity on Sunday. While
there, knowingneariy every inch of the
to*n, an intimate acquaintanceship with
the police force, and possessing many
other facilities for obtaining facts, he begs
to report that a thorough examination fails
to develop anything further than that there
is small-pox in Atlanta ; but no founda
tion whatever for the reports that it is
pre ading rapidly, etc.
A carriage waa placed at our dispoesl by
friends, and a ride over the entire city
failed to bring before our vision but two
small-pcx flags. There are forty-seven
eases at the pest home and five in the city,
fully quarantined. Twelve have died, mak
ing a grand total of sixty.four cases in all
reported to the board of health.
„ The disease firet made Ps appearance at
ihe “Beaver Slide,” a small settlement of
neproes in the rear of the Willingham
building. A colored porter named
Smith, employed in tho drug
stoie of Iverson, Pemberton &
Co. waa in the habit of going to Beaver
Slide and there contracted the disease. A
yonng white man named Moore, in tho
packing department of the drag house,
and in which department Smith worked,
caught the disease from Smith (and
those two were the only ones in the honee
pot vaccinated), and Moore went home
sick. The doctors treated him for bilions
fever until he broke out, ar.d then the
house where he lived, Mr. Frobel’s resi
dence, was quarantined. Yonng Moore
jnd two other white persona died.
Smith went to Decatur after it was dis
covered that he had the disease anddiod
there.
It was in this way that the disease start
ed. Every precaution was laken by the au
thorities who were sleepless until the ef
fects of those negroes at Beaver Slide
were burned. Beaver Slide itself w»3
burned.
Tho city went into a wholesale vaccina
tion, and there are few white people who
have not bared their arm3 to the viras
pout.
There is more talk of small-pox and
more excitement about it outside of At
lanta than there is in it. Every city offi
cial, from Mayor English to the lowest
man on the police force, keeps the^harpeat
lookout for any outbreak of the disease,
and with 10 large a polico force it would
be impossible for any cases to be hidden
out. Should one be reported, an officer is
placed on guard and a strict sumillacco
kept over the premises.
So long ns these precautions are kept np,
nnd wo have no doubt they will be, it is ns
safe to visit Atlanta ns Macon. Everybody
shonld be vaccinated. A stray case may
bo smuggled into Macon at any time and
lit has been clearly demonstrated time and
again that vaccination i3 the best safe
guard.
Yesterday, the physicians appointed by
Mayor Corput, were busy vaccinating, and
several other physicians were at work in
the same way. We are clad to note this
universal desire to ward off tho disease.
No pen can describe the loathsomeness,
and death is pre'erable to it3 horrors.

A SUNDAY BUTCHERY.
Two Yonng Men FcnrfnUy Stabbed
A little after 1 o’clock Sunday morning
a cutting affray occurred near the oorner
of Fifth an§ Fine streets, between Zack
Snipee and J. N. Walker on one side, and
Thomas Morgan and Chris McGeo on tho
other.
The facts us near as we can gather them
are these: Morgan and McGee
wore coming out of a house
on Fifth street, and were met
by tinipea and Walker, who commene-
conversation of a nature calculated to
re iso a disturbance. Only a few words pass
ed when Snipes opened his knife and by
some means got McGee on the ground
and commenced knifing him. Walker
mado at Morgan with his opeued knife,
and after one stab Morgan ran, Walker
cutting him as he followed him. Morgan
fell and Walker cseised his knife work.
A crowd collected, attracted to the scene
by McOeeV cries of murder. Snipes
made his escape. Both the wounded men
were taken iuto a house near by and Dr.
Ferguson sent for. When the doctor ar
rived, McGee was bleeding profusely
from his wounds. He was found to be
stabbed in seven places, the principal
stab being in his breast, the knife cutting
into one of the lungs. For a long tune
McGee breathed throngh the wound.
Morgan was cut in five places, the main
wound being in the back, i:
nalco'd, and paralyzing
gins.
The wounds wero aewed up and the men
taken to their residonoee, McGee to corner
Fine and Fourth streets, and Morgan to
corner Pino ond First. Tney were rest
ing easdy yesterday afternoon. The
wounds of neither aro necessarily fatal.
While the doctor waa sewing np McGee’s
wounds at the Fifth street house, Walkor
walked in. He was instantly recognized
by McGee, and the young men
present kept him in custody un
til the arrival of officers
Golden and Martin who carried him to the
barracks. Onr reporter visited Walker

fair precisely as narrated’above, except

there were nover finer crops in any section

and com predominated, but the acreage in
cotton was reasonably large, so far ns could

several large orchard*, chiefly peach, the

of eluven I found myself in front of a rode
log church; the number of persons assem
bled indicated that religious services were
on the programme. So, nnharresaing my
weary steed, I entered the sanctuary.
Presently a venerable man moved into the
pulpit. Everybody was still, au4-jevery
eye beamed tenderly upon the filtering
frame and the farrowed but benignant
face—“a noble wreck ia ruinous perfec
tion.”
•For five loug minutes ho stood motion
less as tbe pulse of death, then looking
through the window be remarked: “My
friends, the Lord’s called me to preach gin-
eratiy, but he ain’t a-puttin no words in

I don’t know whether he's called

say that tne grating of the deacon’s chair
and the rustle of calico, aa we all went
down, occasioned the hegim of the bird. I
give sanction to no such wicked assertion.
Sly business is with facts, not motives.
We had barely reached the floor when
the bird took to his wings, and the parson
announced: “Thar sow, you may quit

board. This is the word of God nnd
the skripter of Divine truth.”
Tbe pra'Cher soon rose to
the summit of his exalted theme and
waxed wane, while a theological Phegtsth
em seemed to stream, and foam, aud shat
ter through his lips. His voice swung and
pendulated into multiform flexions and
genuflexions, sometimes vocal, sometimes
nasal, sometimes guttural, and sometimes
all three. He stamped like a horse when
tickled by a nit fly, manipulated his arms
os though ho were fighting a foil battal-
lion of well drilled hornets, and without the
least break in the regularity of his poly
tone, parenlhasyzed the sermon by saying,
“ This pusperation makes me sweat, and I
hain’tfoteu no hanjiker,” whereupon ho
wiped his elergieal face with his sacerdotal
coat tail and proceeded: “Yes, my friends,
this U the word of God ond the skripter of
divine truth; yon’r mighty right it is, ah.
He that is not fur us is agin us; and he
that gethereth not with us, scratcheth a
board, oh. Now, in order to find out
who’s not fur us. we got to first find out

But they can’t do it, no, ha, um;
they can’t do it, fur as shore as

cuss, ab. Hit’s a dreadful, dreadful pro-
nouiicement, nh. Hah. yea ah, that
scratchin of a board aiut a gwine to be no
ways like eatin sugar orswingin on a gate,
or settin on a ridey boss, ah. No, ab, no;
no ah. And ha, um.who is it’s a-gwino fur
to scratch that board, ah t Ha, me thicks
I hear the o-r-r-rful sentenoo, ah, “Come
np ye Prisbyterans and Metherdites and
Misaionery Baptises, aud knuckle down on
your marrow bones, end go to scratchin
of your board, ah. And, ha nm, me thinks
I see these fast trotten youngsters that's
a ridin about with thar yearlin gal?, as
they'l ba a few years heuee in hell, a weep-
in and a wailing and. a guashin of thar
teeth, and a-scratchin of thar board, ah,
and u, um, and the sweet smellin clothes,
nnd the gingy cake faces won’t do no good
then, Mi, and mo thinks I see that quality
umurn rigged out, and movin down the
aisle tike a schooner under heavy sail, ah.”
At that moment a youth in the assembly
was seen tosmile, and the preacher, abrupt
ly brooking a sentence, pointed :-co>r-
fully to him nrd continued: “Hah, yotng
raau, ab, you neod’nt to eet thar a-«:nilic

And, iia, nm, it won’t be none of your soft
white pine boards, ah, nur it won't be a
house kiverin board, nur a draft board,
nur a school house black-board, nur a bed-
in board, ah, nuther. Hit'! be a tough,
hard, knotty, snarly, black-gum board, ah,
nnd, ha, nm, thar you’ll have to stay and
scratch and scratch and scratch wuj’n a
greyhound oier scratched alter n rabbit
to all eternity, fur the wo.-d pintedly erys,
he that go heretit not with us eeratcheth a
board and you ain’t a gethering with us—
not much you ain’t, ah. Hah, my friends,
you’ve scratched fur the tick* aud the liens
and some of you’o scratched far the t-ach
and the small-pox, but you hai-.’t
never scratched none for the devil. Ha,
um, you huin’t scratched with no com-
pelmont, ah. Yon haint scratched a board
when all the time you was half crazy to
scratch soino whars else, ah. Hah, ye fioll-
howlii; and onforbidden sinners, ah ; no
time in thnt orful day to push back :he
chunks tint come rambling down agin
you, no time to rub whar you’r a sraartin

a board, for the devil's a gwiuc to koep
on at it world without end, ah, aud that’s

My hor-,- hnd slipped tho bridle, snd I
w.ifl compelled to hurry out., so the bal

great efforts of .Ksetiines and Rionzi.is pre
served only by tho recording angel.
