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.

Mr. William McAnley, living at Wades store, in this county, found some money near the road leading, from Taliokas to Quitman. Any person describing said money, both kind and amount, can obtain the same by calling on Mr. McAuley at his home. He has placed the money in safe hands where there will be no trouble to get it if described. March 16tk, 1874. 4t Mr. Harmony enquired for his overal’s Monday morning.

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.

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.
