Tbsir (VH>nsU«a Rt _ Umnlllt 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. 9r. Chaplin defended the loyalty of Texas, and said the North had bnt respond ed to an appeal and granted help when it W&8 •% . ’ Governor Joseph E. Brown took the stand and said Atlanta had taken no steps to secure the Home Board, but if sent there would do the beet they oould for it; , stirring that AUanta wait a busy, laoe, or it: i, full Bchuroh-going eity and contained many good followers of Jesus; deprecated the allusion to “a Northern in vasion;’’ . said we should cultivate brotherly feeling and thought it was unwise to koep «live, iimong Baptists, those 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.) P. B. | 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.” “Resolved, That this convention will en gage in such measures os may hereafter in 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.

The committee on the conclusions of the board of foreign mission made a report disapproving of special missionary woik among the Jews, they being so scat tered as to come under the innaence ot all other missionaries. New boards of home and foreign mis- pions were appointed, tho boards having the right to elect their own presidents I and secretaries.. The report of the committee os to tho petition of the Presbyterians to memori alize Congress on the subieot of a Sunday law was recommitted, and was afterwards amended so as to recommend efforts for May, 1883, and Dr. John A.

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 previous practices. 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 the spectators. Mr. Charles Taylor, Unole Newt.

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.

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 yesterday, who gave his version of tho af fair precisely as narrated’above, except tho manner of lho meeting. He says that it was brought on by McGeo and Morgan. Ho is employed on tho new road, has a wife but no children. Snipes is also at work on the new road, and probably made his way to where tho hands 1 f.t r. McGoe works at Schofield’s machine works.

"* A correspondent ot lho Washington National Republican, writing from Savan nah, has this to eny of Macon : Savannah, Ga., May 7.—‘.ho Georgia Centra!, tho mo.it direct lino between At lanta aud this ancient city, traverses a fine country to Macon, 103 miles from tho former place, in nil of which distanco it does not cross a siDglo bridge. Tho route lies along the dividing ridge between tbe Chattahoochee and Ocmulgto rivers, and there were nover finer crops in any section than tlioao I saw growing on the uplands through which the road pases. Oats, wheat and com predominated, but the acreage in cotton was reasonably large, so far ns could judged from that in sight. I also noticed several large orchard*, chiefly peach, the trees being well loaded with fruit. The railroad doss not fairly enter Macon, but makes a complete circuit of tho city, the depot being in the suburbs, upon the same side nnd but a few hundred raids from the point whore tho cars first strike the corpo ration limit. • - THE LAND INTERVENING was hold at such n high price by the own ers that it was found cheaper to build sev eral miles of truck than to purchase it, which accounts for such a roundabout way of “getting to town.” Maoon contains some !S,0CO inhabitants, mostly of the genuine Bourbon striro ; is pleasantly and icgular- iy laid out on elevated ground, and is con sidered cjnite healthy, although upon oue side, in the outskirts, quite au extensive track of swampy ground is srid to breed gnu, malaria in that region, but which does aud treated to soila water by Captain Mas- not extend ap iuto tho eity proper.

I There are some fine private residences through a land of strangers. At the hour 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 nth now, and I’m mighty pestered I don’t know whether he's called me for to preach to-day. I’m a-,wine to let him decide it. Yonder sets a bird on that yonder stump. I want you oil to git down cn your bended knee3 and shet yonr eyes and pray the Lord (silent) to make the bird fly e! he wants mo to preach snd let it stay lit ef he don’t, aud I’ll keep mine open and watch the bird.” Some soulless wretches would 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 prayin; tbe bird’s gone and the first pas- sagomy eye hits on when I open tho skripter hit! be my text” The Bible was opened and he began to render bis text slowly calling the short words and patiently spell ing the long ones. “He-that-is-not- ing tho long fur—us—is—agin—us, and be—that g-a-th- e-r-e-t-h-gethereth—not—with ue s-c-a-t- t-e-r-o-th scratcheth a-b-r-o-a-d board a board—Ho that is not fur ts is agin us and he that gethereth not with ns scratcheth a 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.
