How many have we in this country ? Wo
have a church of each denomination in
Quitman and a medium sized congregation
attend each, there are several churches in
the country attended and supported by
medium sized country congregations.
Now are -these Methodist sincere in the
faith they profess ? Are these Baptist ns
zealous in good works and as devoted to
the church of their choice as they profess
to be ? Methodist and Baptist, arc yon
endcavering to widen your borders, ex
tend your lint's, increase your armies nml
aild strengthen your fortifications that you
may successfully war against the evil you
profess to detest ? Are you strengthening
each and every auxiliary at your respective
churches? Are you availing yourselves
of every facility V Are you utilizing all the
means of grace within your reach to ad- i
Vance the kingdom of Christ and the reli- j
gion you profess ? Do you feed the hun
gry, clothe the naked and visit the sick!
end imprisoned ? Have you cared for the
widow and the orphan ? Do you supply i
your ministers with every needed comfort ? ;
Or, do you satisfy yourself with the mere i
fact that you are a Methodist or a Baptist,
and that that is all sufficent, that Un
church will save you and that you have [
bo responsibilities, no duties to perform
but to take care of yourselves, and fold I
your hands and sing “Farewell vain world !
1 am going home?’' Wemakeno charge of
religious derilictions, but simply pro
.potnul these questions to the professors of
Christianity to be answered by themselves
to their own eoncienees, and we feel that
we have: touched a chord that will vibrate
with inedible pleasure in the hearts of all
Who can answer these questions with
truth affirmatively. To those who cannot i
answer affirmatively we way touch some
chord, the vibration of which may arouse |
them to a sense of their duty and respou-!
sibility. (>ne of the means of grace, one j
of the greatest helps in building up and:
strengthening the church is the the defu-;
fttshm of knowledge and tie: dissemination j
of religious literature. Then each church
should have its well established publish
ing house, which should be supported and j
■sustained by the members and eongrt ga- i
tions throughout the country. Wo are j
Agreeably visited weekly by the Christ i„
Index, a Baptist paper and the South.
Christian Athacate, a Methodist paper, !
both of which are large and ably edited,
-containing rich stores of Christian info ra
tion and instruction. And pious Bapti.ris :
how many numbers of the Christian Ind.tr
comes to Quitman ? Oh 1 Methodist, how i
many Christian Advocates come to Brooks ]
county. Do each of the members of these
respective churches take one or the other j
of the papers in your families, and do you i
that have the means send a copy to some
poor family who have not the means to ptiy
for it ? Now, if you don’t do the things
specifically mentioned in this article, ye
are not worthy of membership in Ohri.-.t’s
Church, and until you put on the whole ar
mor and determine to enlist for the war.
cease to sing in church
,'Ttevi; Shy kingdom I>rd,
Tim hour, of -lib)', abode,
The cbrfrch the blest is -ir:’o- r bought
With his own precious blood.”
If you love the church as you should do
and as you profess to-do you will utilize
every means to strengthen it and sacrifice
every earthly pleasure to advance its inter
ests. Eh >w much of your substance' have you
(wed in deseminating religious knowledge
within the last year ? How many of the
sick and imprisoned have you visited with
messages of comfort and consolation ?
How much have you contributed to the
poor and the suffering to relieve their dis
tresses ? The poor is always with you,
that you may hate an Opportunity of do
ing good, do you avail yourselves of this
method of obtaining Divine favor ? In as
much as “ye do it unto the least of these,
ye do it unto me saith the Lord.” Have
ye done these good things to the Lord you
profess to love, or is your professions a
mere sounding brass, a tinkling symbol,
reminded only of your piety by the sound
ing of the church bells. But you have
said of us the devil ought not to preach.
If he preaches better doctrine than you
practice your early adoption of it will be
to you an important reformation, and if
the practice of the devil is more in accord
ance with Divine teachings, than your
practice is, yon had better imitate him.

A. Love Letter.
The following gushing letter was handed
into the compositors room, and after rend
iug it w e have determined to let our readers
have the benefit of it. It seems to have,
been a waif, whether it had reached its
destination and was lost by the recipient,
or whether lost by the writer or by some
messenger bearing it we cannot say, bnt
we do say, that when it came to us it was
not sealed and boro evidence of having
been read. In publishing it we withhold
names, date, where written and to whom
addrssed, so that no ono is comproiuitted
by the publication, and the letter w ill be
kept sacred until either the writer or the
recipient claims it:
Mv Osoa Deadest : You who
have been to mo earths dearest object,
constantly present in my daily reflections
and never absent in my nightly dreams.
You whom I have looked upon as my fu
ture comforter, to sweeten the moments
that would lie otherwise sad, to make the
hours happy and cheerful, that without
you would he lonely and dreary. You who
promised to take lifes journey with me,
, shearing its joys and sorrows, its labors
j and pains, its trials and privations. You at
whose smiles I have rejoiced, at whose
I frowns I have wept. You whose griefs.l
j would cheerfully have born, :uid whose
j pleasures, 1 would have devoted my life
i to augment. You whoso presence gave me
: ineffable bliss, and whose absence atupo
i tied we with dispondeucy, and made me
| grievously unhappy. You to whose every
I word I have been all attention, and to
i whose every act I have been all watchful -
• ness. You to whom I have appealed to
, sacrifice only one worldly pier.: m e that gave
jme pain. You whom l wanted exalted
| above all others. You whose aspirations
I I strived to elevate. You whom 1 regarded
us the purest of the pure, the embodiment
of truth, and innocence, as emaculato ns
!the snow flake ore it, is stained by the
j touch of earth. You, the melody of whose
i voice still vibrates upon my sen satire ear
: with the sweetness of un angels lute. You
■ whose taper I have watched iu my lone-li
| uess until it ceased to hum. You who
i knew my nightly vigiis, my irrespressabie,
j uucoutrolablo anxieties. You who were
all tho world to me, and besides you t here
i was none on earth. And you who declared
I every s, uiuueut reciprocal* and, and ph and ;od
unmitigated constancy, have proved lobe
faithless and ine.instant. 1 told you this
world was a dreary waste without you,
That my brightest days wore gloomy and
the nights lon, ly. You professed io be
: lievo me, apparently sympathised, and
I gave mu assurances which opened the dim
j vista of the future and presented with sn
ip: nml brilliancy tho star of hope. Did
you do it that you might draw the veil
laud darken it forever. Now hope has
j vanished forever. All that was lovely on
| earth to me is lost.. No charms for me now,
i why should ! linger longer V There is no
| reason, lienee the draft is prepared and is
| now before, me only waiting to be drunk
| when Ibis, my last epistle to you fa"ended,
I that will soon quiet there nc-rves and make
Ime oblivious to all earthly things, lire
this wiil reach you tho draft will bo drank
1 and l will be asleep. Oh, i.ni’t it a seal
thing to contemplate, Oh, tho darkness,
: the gloominess, the dampness, hut I am
i determined. One word from your lips, one
* touch of your delicate hand would change
|my purposes, this rochlestsnqM might be
; avoided; but yon are not here, 1 am alone,
: you could have prevented me, you could
: have made this life one constant and refun of
pleasure to me, but you would not. Now
I I shall close this epistle and h ave it upon
my table to be fonvutded to you, bidding
yon, precious one, a long farewell. Oh,
will it not be dark when 1 turn down my
| lamp and swallow the draft. But before I
j conclude let me give you, luy dear ,
!an assurance of my hope that this act of
j mine, though rash it be, will new r give
j you one moment of sadness. And in concla
| sion, and with full consciousness of tho
| dreadful act I am about to commit that my
| present and last wish will be that your
j life may be one of uninterrupted happiness.
| And as yon have said let us forget the past,
I entreat yon to forget e-ten that which 1
! now do. Now the time has come, all is
asleep, I can take the draft and none will
know it. 1 know how gloomily and lonely
it will be after I have put out the light for
the few moments that I will remain con
scious. My last thought and last prayer
' will be tor you my dearest , farewell,
true to the last. Now I have arranged
imy bed soon to lay myself down where 1
will be found by servant iff the moru
i ing. Now 1 have but to take tho draft,
I put out the light, nU will be dark, and I
j will soon Be unconscious. There, I have
! taken it, it was a splendid brandy cocktail,
| and with the hope that it will soon soothe
! me into quiet slumbers and sweetest
j dreams, I again bid you farewell, farewell,
j I’. S.—The morning, bright morning
I has come, the draft I took soothed me to
! slumber and brought me the vision of a
I little hundred and twenty-five pounds craft,
| gliding over a smooth surface with queenly
J majesty looking as sweet as a boquot of
pinks and puses and 1 am as happy in hope
as a big sun flower in J une. —— .
Correction.
In our notice of the operations of the
Quitman Factory and its operatives of last
week, we stated that Mr. C. N. Williams
was the Superintendent of the spiniug and
weaving department. We made the state
ment from observation and not from any
i information received from any one, and
! therefore having been correctly informed
j by Mr. Williams, we .take pleasure in mak
j ing the correction. Mr. Williams informs
| us that he has the Superintendence of the
picking and spining department and that
| Mr. J. D. Dove, who is a nice gentleman
and a very efficient man has charge of the
dying and weaving department. We again
I repeat that the Company has been exceed
ingly fortunate in procuring such efficient
Superintendents and also in procuring
- such prompt and energetic operatives with
such a corps of operatives, overlooked and
| directed by such Superintendents success :
: is inevitable.

DURING THE LATE WAR.
This book, written by General Johnston,
' is now offered to the, public, and will
doubtless prove one of the most thrillingly
- interesting works ever offered to the
Southern public, and particularly to the
Southern soldiers that was under his com
' rnancl. Though concisely written, it etn
| braces every material fact in regard to his
; operations. To his soldier boys it will
awaken many sad as well as pleasing
reminiscences. It will turn back the pages
| of memory and present vividly to the
is collection the many battlefields, the
j many comrades and co-sufferers that fell
and is no more; the many hard conflicts,
i the weary marAes through rum and
j shine, cold and heat; mid the croakers
j behind the army and out of danger should
j carefully read his truthful statement, and
j in it behold the imbecility of their criti
- eisms and their wanton and unjustifiable
j persecutions of this great commander.
This book is now offered by Mr. O. T.
j Terry, our townsman and fellow citizen,
1 the agent for the publishers, who will sell
| it at publishers prices.
We take pleasure in recommending it to
| our readers as a correct history of the war,
as to the operations conducted by the
I author. It will prove an interesting and
: valuable history and one that will sell
rapidly. Call at onec and see Mr. Terry,
