• POETRY. For the Banner & Baptist. "Oh when sliall I, myself appear, Rejoicing in the better land?’ >L C. HORNADY. Reply by L. T. Doyai—7 ». Not until your work is done, Shall you tread the gloomj’ vale ; Then will God’s Eternal Son Welcome you “within the veil.”* Many souls are wandering down The illusive road of death ; Heedless of the. danger round Blaspheming with every breath. These, my brother, must be warned— Rescued from eternal woe, And with robes of Christ adorned, Or must sink to rise no more. Toil and lalior for the world ; Much it needs your warning voice. High, the banner-cross unfurl, Jeweled with celestial joys. And when life’s sad dream is o’er, You shall cross cold Jordan’s strand, Greet the loved ones—and no more Sorrow in the better land. Griffin, June 30th. 1800. FOR THE BANNER A BAPTIST. PRAY, LABOR, TRUST. BY W. M. D. Pilgrim, wouldst thou cease from sin. Grow in virtue even'day? And thy wish be realized, AVot, nercr cease to pray. Wouldst thou Imve a peaceful soul * Ever shun the tempter’s power? Draw not then one idle breath, Labor, labor every hour. Dost thou crave the peace of God, And that fears and doubts he gone ? These can also lie thine own, Trust in Jesus Christ alone. Ww MB IOTKE. ~ REMITTANCES. Money due the Office, may be sent by mail at our rM—always mail it in pretence of a fnend, {otheer than the P.

By the Author of the Life of Horace Greeley, and ex "Editor of the New York Tribune. We make the following extracts from Parton’s Life of General Andrew Jackson, a new work just issuing from the press in ■ New York, and which is expected to reach a very large sale, in the South. Vol. I, pages 247 and 248.—“T0 all those sources of profit—Farm, Cotton-gin, Store, Flat-boat and horse —was added, it is said, an occasional transaction in Negroes. “ There is an odium attached to this busi ness in the Slave States, as is well known; and consequently the alledged negro trad ing of General Jackson, has exhibited a great deal of angry controversy. I was ■ myself informed, in a mysterious whisper, by a Southern gentleman in high office, that this was the only ‘•blot? on the character of the General.” Again, same Volume, page 254. —“The present generation knows nothing of the [.terrible process by which African Savages were converted into patient and submissive ■ servants. Still less can the Southern man of to-day perceive that his own race has been most powerfully influenced by the servile one. The traveler sees clearly enough that the white man, in exchanging qualities with the black, has not made a ; very good bargain. The black man has i imbibed some of the white man’s best qual- ■ ities; the white man has caught some of ' the negro’s worst.” Thus we of the South, are slandered and traduced by an abolitionist, under the efiw yutseof giving, to that South and the world a correct history of the Life and Public services of one of her most distinguished sons. Can it be possible that the South ern people, will patronize a book, that stig matizes as a “blot' upon the character of ! any one who engages in an occasional trans action in slaves; and that we have been so powerfully influenced by the negro, as to hare lost the best qualities of the white, race, and imbibed in their stead the worst qualities of the negro. Will not the Southern people eject this book from them, as a lying slanderous pro duction of an abolitionist, who is seeking reward for his slander from their pockets, while he is entitled to no more respect, than one of the servile class he seems to try to elevate to his own. level. Will Southern people buy the book? Will Southern Booksellers keep it for sale? Will Southern Editors hereafter commend iit to public favor? We shall see. k. « • - —— Catalogue*.

The 4th was duly observed by our vol unteer companies; and lam proud to re cord the fact, that the celebration passed off without the usual appendix, a “Ball.” It speaks well of our worthy companies, and it is to lie hoped that others will go and do likewise, for it must be clear to all rational and thinking minds, that they not I only love their country, but love to cnlti- i vate morality and respect for religion. The religious, many of them, profess and act it out by their daily walk and cpnveraation»» Brother Martin B. Hardin arrived here this morning. We hope he will remain here some time. The Church has request ed him to do so. 1 hope we will get some good preaching out of him. Our Sabbath School is looking up. Several new Teach ers and Scholars since the revival; all seem to be interested, and willing to do their part. The Committee are making all the necessary arangeme.nts for the accom modation of the “ Southern Baptist Sunday School Union.” We hope to see all the friends of the Union here at that time, ; armed and equipped as the nature of the case may require. There is a part in the “ Dramma,” for ever one to act; matti-rs not how humble his position may be in the Church, or how humble he feels, all can and should do something for so great and good cause. If they can do but little, let it be done, ani put it with other little mites, and in the aggregate it will amount to a respec table sum. The work is a good one, and i should enlist the sympathies and prayers of all those who profess to be Baptist, or love the Church. There is no institution that has done as much good in so short a time as it has done, which the Directors will be able to prove at the approaching meeting. Let all come and see.

(Read this in connection withxhe former number.) Both by revelation and by reason we are taught that there is no Divine act without a purpose. All the operations of the great Infinite proceed upon the intention of ac complishing some adequate. particular, defi nite object. Neither the cause nor the end of the Divine arrangements may appear to human ken, yet the intellectual endow ments which man has received from his Omniscient Creator, enable him to perceive the necessity of such a principle to regu late the acts of all intelligent beings.— Operations with no object in view would be irrational, and the performers regarded as sadly wanting in the highest qualities of intelligent beings. The brute creation may act from instict and not fall below their nature, but he who has been made only “a little lower than the angels,” must have a reason for everything he does. And here, let me say, it is proper to consider the motives which influence us, and the results we expect in our transactions; yea, the ordinary “little things” of everv-<lav life. In proportion to the magnitude and re sponsiblencss of an undertaking, is the im portance of a worthy and well defined ob ject. To labor and toil at random is to ■ lalmr and toil in vain, and to strive for re sults unbecoming to our station, is to secure ! personal disgrace and perpetrate a great mischief. -* There is design, then, iu all human ope-' rations, and it is supposed that so respon sible an undertaking as th»- publication of : religious papers, is influenced by consider- ; ations of high arid momentous consequence. In this department of Christian enterprise 1 there is an end to be accomplished which ‘ no other instrumentality can effect. Un like the weak and unobtrusive engagements i of obscure life, or the abaiml quackery-, i practice of “medical men, which, “if it ; ’ does no g<«>d will do bo harm.” religious J papers must needs make their impress, and I ; Eternity only, will be able to disc lose the ; great amount of good or of evil which has ■ resulted from their in(hi»*i;ee t and for which ! may I* sounded j>eans of ineffable gratula j tion or the corrodings of hitter regn-t Ite 1 moist tormentingly suffered. Thk True Missiox oi Rklioious Fa ! PF.»r' should be thoroughly studied and per ! severingly prosecuted, and to impress the j mind with this momentous subject, it may j be well to consider, first, what h not that ; mnaaion? 1 was palled some time ago by j the expression of settiments of a loved . and honored correspondent with regard jto the temper and spirit exhibited by some of the religi'HU Press. My grief was the more inteus? because there was ; ground for such humiliating opinions, yet i I hope that the whole thing is not so bad as j this high toned and Sensitive brother had concluded. His woeds, however, should .be well weighed. af»i private a« well as public Christian philanthropist, individually, should decide, in the fear of God and with hearts prepared for confession, how far a they have, each, laid themselves liable to > the charge of such unholy, dishonoring and ! > destructive influences. a “ What, a deplorable fact it is,” says the mortifiedaud deeply wounded writer, “that Ministers, with all their piety, their zeal, 1 their knowledge, their intellectual attain -1 ments and giant minds, should, after all, be t but selfish men, and condescend to stoop 1 down and dabble in the dirty pool of party J strife, thereby defiling their garments which 5 should be of spotless purity! 5 ft appears to me a great anomaly to say j (of Christians) of Baptists, that they be- • long to a party who ought to be ‘of one mind and one heart,’ seeing they have ‘one Lord and one faith." The thought is humiliating, yet too true. Newspaper Ed itors, I presume, enjoy no immunity from similar sentiments and feelings, though some 1 have tnore discretion than others. “The object of the newspaper world, both religious and political, seems to rne to be just two-fold, no more, no less—to ad vance certain dogmas, theories, principles or party interests on the one hand, and on the other hand, and by no means the least to make money, money, money ! This may be a harsh judgment, but it is mine; and I will add that, while endeavoring to build up one thing or party, they as perti naciously strive to tear down any and every thing in which they themselves are not en gaged.” This is a gloomy picture, and indicates very clearly what the true Mission of Religious Papers is not. To “build up and to tear down” is in i keeping with the profession of political hucksters, who cater solely for “money, money, money.” To leave principle to take care of itself and stick to party, “right or wrong,” may do for those who are not ashamed to confess that the spoils and hon or of office are that which they seek after. But shall Christian men, shall Baptist Edi tors, thus following the unholy example of I an unsanctified world, send forth their poi i son, as the lepers, contaminating the mor i als and destroying the vital principle of ; Zion, which is to “look forth us the inorn i ing, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and : terrible as an army with banners?” : The true Mission of Religious Papers I is of a Liger and a more glorious character than this, and the men, yclept Christian I Editors, and the pestilent vehicles of their blighting ami ruinous policy, who show i by no mistaken rule that party ascendan- ■ cy and the almighty dollar are the stun and substance of their aim, should with loath ing be withdrawn from, and such instru ments and engines of destruction to the I true prosperity of Zion, be taught that j they must seek victory on other fields, and ■ derive their unholy gains from a different . source. He who patronizes pernicious agencies, or "m any way aids and abets in jurious principles, is bidding “God speed” tn the nprnntJ'Atfltii and fa of. and will be held responsible for his misdeeds. Remember that Doctors cannot live with out patients, Lawyers without clients, nor mercenary Religious Papers without a cor ' rupt and God-dishonoring patronage. The true mission of Religious Papers then, Is not to advance party dogmas, but to discover and support the truth. Nt>t to pull down those with whom perfect agree ment cannot be secured, but to attack and destroy vital error in all its forms and pha ses—-not to forbid the easting out of devils in the name of the Lord, on the part of those who follow US, but in fearless tones to enforce the truth, that if any man love Jesus, he un'/Z keep his words, and cause it to ring in the ears of innovates and modi fiers, for “Behold to obey is better than sacrifice, aud to hearken better than the fat of rams.” Not to array sordid gold that perisheth, or gain ephemeral applause, but to secure riches which are enduring—a “crown of glory that fadeth not away.” It is true, that in the proper prosecution of their mission, Religious Papers may, by consequence, while eliciting and defending the truth, advance the prosperity of those who hold that truth—while ferreting out and demolishing error, expose the weak ness of the foundation, and raze the towel ing superstructure of those w ith whom they disagree. While urging the high obliga tion and absolute necessity of implicit obe dience to all the laws of Christ, mav re buke those who follow the devices of their i own heart, or walk after the traditions of \ human leaders. And lastly, they may and • ought, while securing the reward of the “good and faithful servant,” see that their i own house be provided for, and thereby de- I ny not the faith and prove worse than an j infidel. To develope and sustain Bible truth—convey Religious Intelligence—pro- I mote the spread of the Gospel—inculcate ; all the Christian graces, foster education, ! and to lift high the standard of piety and | morality, ere objects worthy of the talents and persevering labors of Christian patients, and none occupy so favorable a position for : the efficient performance of this high and holy duty as those who control the Religi ' ous press. What a desecration of their office; how ! ignoble the effort; what a departure from their true mission; how degrading the re sults when Religious papers wrangle for sectarian dogmas, unsupported by the word •>f God; become the vehicle of personal defamation, “ compass sea and laud” to make proselytes to their own religion, in culcate the spirit of the world ; -ow broad cast the seed of strife and contention, and excite only the unholy ambition of human nature. Brethren z of the Religious press, study well the true mission* in which you are engaged; reflect prayerful upon the in fluence you exert, and strive earnestly to i _ magnify your office, and the !x,rd direct ' and sustain you in your momentous avo-1 cation.

A Beautiful Thought. 1 Among some of the South Sea Islanders the compound word for hope is beautifully expressive. It is manaoluna, or the swim ming thought—faith floating and keeping its head aloft above water, when all the waves and billows are going over one— a strikingly beautiful definition of Hope, worthy to be set down along with the answer which a deaf and dumb person wrote with his pencil, in reply to the question, “What was his idea of forgive ness?” “It is the odor which flowers yield when trampled on.” OBITUARIES. Mrs. Mary A. Black, wife of Dr. J. A. Black, who died on the 30th of June, was bom in Rich land District, 8. C., August 3rd, 1825, from whence she removed to Spring Place, Ga.; where, in 1852, she was made a subject of Divine Grace, and in December of that year, was baptized. In 1857 the family removed to Dalton, where they still reside. Her character, as wife and mother, is better known to the broken-hearted husband and children. To those with whom she was intimate, she was a very dear friend. Her pastor can testify to her faith fulness as a Christian. Punctual and constant to her class at Sabbath Schoo), and to all her church meetings —deeply interested in the salvation of her children and friends, her light shining in the domestic circle as well as to the world, she thus witnessed more for God in life, than in death. May tlie “peace of God, which passeth all under standing, keep the hearts and minds of the dear family through Christ,” while they mourn her, who “As the bird to its sheltering rest," When the storm on the hills is abroad, So her spirit has flown from this world of unrest, To repose, on the -bosom of God.” Dalton, Ga. C. Died, at his residenee in Dooly county, on tKo mil or June, Kev. Henri Collins, in the 03rd year of his age. Bro. Collins was born and raised in Jackson county, Gn., and removed to Henry coun ty, in its early settlement. He united with the Church at Sharon, where.lie was both licensed and ordained. About 18!16 or ’37, he removed to Cobb county, while the Indians yet remained, where for 23 or' 24 years, he ceased not to declare the whole council of God, and lived to see many flourishing churches built up by his labors. During the last year or two he became conscious that if lie sur vived long, he would have to cease his labors, and seek a milder climate; accordingly, at the close of 1859 he resigned his charges amidst the regrets of his various churches, aud removed to Dooly, where his two sons are already residing; but, alas! he re tired from the conflict too late. After reaching his new home he was able to go about but little, but gradually declined for four or live months, when he ealmlv passed to his reward. 8. D. E Died of the measles, James Haskins, at his resi dence, Campbell Co., Ga., on the 7th of May. The subject of this notice was born November the 9th, 1785, in Spartanburg District, South Carolina. He attaclwdhimselt to the Baptist Church at Bethlehem, Spartanburg District, 8. C., and was baptized by Thomas Wethers, in the year 1818, where he lived until about the year 1834. He then removed to Campbell Co., Ga., where he lived up to his death. He served the Church, where his membership was, in the office of a deaeon for the last 15 years ; he also served his country in the war of 1812. Much could be said, and truly said, of the deceas ed father in Israel, He was an honest man, one of nature’s noblemen : and died not only liked, but loved, for few men ever died more lamented by the community. In his family relations, as a husband and Father he was more than words can express. None but his family knew how to appreciate his worth and natural "kindness, indulgence and for bearance, and to them his place can never be tilled. As a Christian and church member, it Is only ne cessary to say that by a firm confidence and faith, evidenced by "a consistent Christian life, he won the confidence of hit brethren and of those who knew him. of all persuasions. We can but adore the kind Providence that spared his life and allowed him to see the answer of his prayers in the conversion of his children. May the good Lord take care ot his aged and afflicted "family until he shall call tor them to meet him in that house not made with hands eternal in the heavens. WILLIAM K. HURT. Died of the measles, Elizabeth Haskins, at the residence of her brother, James Haskins, Campbell County, Gai, on .he 14th of May. The subject of this notice was borne October the 11th, 1788, in Spartanburg District, South Carolina. She attached , herself to the Baptist Church at Bethlehem, Spartan burg District, 8. C.,and was baptized by Thomas Wethers in the year 1818, where she lived a con sistant member of the Church until 1834 ; then re- , moved to Campbell County, Ga., where she lived up to her death. All who knew her can well say, let me die tfic death of a Christian and let my last end be like hers. W. K. HURT. RESOLUTIONS OF t.tTTI.E WHTEW OWWRK- A'WWR?WI WAKRSN » COI NTY, GEORGIA.

He joined the Baptist "Church when very young, at Damascus, Columbia Co., and was liaptized by Samuel Cart ledge, and ordained a deacon, and served the church ( for a while, as a deacon, and then as a licensed preacher. He was ordained a minister of the gospel m I.ittle Brier Creek Church, several years since, where his membership remained at the’time of his deatli. He continued in the work of the ministry with zeal until his death, ever taking the Bible and the truths taught therein as the mnn of his counsel, making the subject of religion the theme of his thought and conversation,atid died ns he had lived, trusting in the merits of Christ. Therefore — lloolvcrl. That in the death of Bro. Blanchard we have lost one of our most zealous members and ministers of the Gospel, who was sound in faith and doctrine. Salvation by grace was his preaching theme. But yet we murmur not, but bear with reverence, and humbly submit to the will of God, who worketh all tilings for the good of his people: Amen.
