Two Copies.
Brother B. of the Index asks, “ Why
does not brother 11. C. 11. send two copies
of the Banner, as he promised 1 ” We have
on our books “ Send two copies to the In
dex, ’’ but we suppose the mailer overlooked
it. His attention has been called to it, and
the Index will hereafter have two copies.
Patience, brother B.; the failure has been
no fault of ours.
The News.
Memphis has at last fallen into the hands
of the enemy. Captain Montgomery’s lit
tle fleet was entirely destroyed by the Fed
eral gunboats. The gallant Captain escaped
to the Arkansas side of the river. The
Confederates lost about one hundred men
in the engagement ; the enemy’s loss is
supposed to be equal to ours.
—The enemy have massed a considera
ble force about eighteen miles below Chat
tanooga, and it is thought are contemplating
a movement upon that city. The Confed
erates are preparing to meet them, should
they make the attempt.
—General ‘ Stone wall ’ Jackson has met
and routed the army of General Shields,
taking a great many prisoners and a large
amount of arms and munitions of war.—
Fremont has rallied his broken forces, and
is understood to be on the opposite side of
the Shenandoah, but too much erippled to
alford much aid to his friend Shields.—
Reinforcements are being hurried forward
to Jackson as fast as possible, and we hope
he will be able to clean out the Federals in
that region.
—The army at Richmond are face to
face with the enemy, aud there is continual
skirmishing going on between the outposts.
There is evidently to be some hard and
bloody lighting near Richmond ere long.
Cherokee Indian Mlssalon.
For the purpose of correcting mistakes
aud of collecting the balance of funds sub
scribed for Indian Missions, at Dalton and
Marietta, I shall publish a list of names and
amounts; with the hope that brethren will
inform me of mistakes, and that those who
have not paid will do so promptly. At the
time these subscriptions were made the
funds were not immediately needed—but
now, as the Mission has been established,
they are needed.

THE GRAVE.
Died, at her father’s residence, in Pike
county, Georgia, May 30, 1862, Lizzie
Montgomery (daughter of A. P. and Mar
tha Montgomery), in the twenty-third year
of her age.
It is indeed painful to us to announce the
death of one so much beloved. None knew
her but to love her, and those who knew
her best loved her most.
She had been an exemplary member of
the Baptist church several years, and, by
her pious walk and Christian deportment,
proved to us that there was reality in the
religion she professed.
Her bereaved parents feel that they sus
tain a great and irreparable loss. Asa
child, she was dutiful, kind and obliging;
as a sister, loving and affectionate, ever
ready to do any thing in her power to pro
mote the happiness of her several brothers
and an only sister; as a friend, she was
amiable, obliging and sincere.
While we feel the loss of her whose true
merit can not be described, she has gained
heaven and eternal happiness, there to bask
in the sunshine of everlasting day. We
have only to submit to the dispensation of
an All-wise God. Though He does all
things right, we are made to exclaim, Why
this strange Providence—cut ofF in the
bloom of life from kindred and friends ?
But He has taken her for a purpose of His
own glory. We have only to say, ‘Thy
will be done.’
O, Death! remorseless, cruel Death!
All powerful in thy sway,
And hast thou grasp’d that gentle breath
And torn her soul away ?
O, could not that celestial charm
That grew with every hour, .
Restrain awhile thyjdreadful arm
And shield her from thy power T
The charms that still’d where tumults rang,
Or bade the tear to flow—
Those charms, and bosom whence they
sprang.
All sank beneath thy blow.
There, weeping friends hung o’er their love
Her spirit to detain,
A nd ceaseless prayers were sent above
To ask her life, in vain.
But. hush’d be every bosom’s swell,
And each rebellious sigh;
For she who charm’d on earth too well,
Now charms above the sky.

Died, in the Ashland Hospital, Virginia,
on the 10th of April, 1862, Cornelius
O’Brien —son of brother G. M. and sister
Etna O’Brien, of Floyd county.
Brother Cornelius yoined the Armuchee
church in 1859, while it was enjoying the
pastoral labors of Elder J. R, Chambers,
by whom he wus baptized.
fn February last he gave himself to his
country’s service, in Captain Grove’s com
pany. Soon after reaching the tented field
he was taken with measles, and conveyed
to the hospital where his earthly career
was closed. During its last stage he pray
ed fervently for his parents, brothers and
sisters; and so manifested the reality of
being in Heaven’s gate, under the glorious
manifestation of his present Saviour, that
he attracted the attention and admiration
of every person in the room.
‘•There mnuineth therefore a rest for the people
of God.” A Brothbr in Christ.
Died, of typhoid fever, in the Savannah
hospital, May 13,1802, William C. Davis,
in his twenty sixth year.
Brother Davis joined the Armuchee
church in 1858, during the pastorate of El
der Chambers, by whom he was baptized,
and immediately entered the service of his
Master by holy examples and righteous
precepts. He was licensed, the succeeding
year, to exercise the gift of ministering the
Gospel, which he prosecuted with a zeal
equalled by few and surpassed by none,
and accompanied with a deep and consist
i cut life of piety.
At the solicitation of the Church and
through her benefactions, he entered Mer
cer University (where he won the affection
and confidence of the faculty and his class
mates) with the design of obtaining a tho
rough education. But on witnessing the
suffering necessity of his country, he re
signed the priceless tender of his brethren
after one term, and entered his country’s
service, under Captain Flowers of Gwinnett
county, with a patriotism unconquerable by
any but the * king of terrors,’ through whom
Heaven receives earth’s most precious
jewels.
" Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord
■ X ea, saith the Spirit, lor they real from their 1-

Tract Depository.
Brother A. E. Dickinson has established
a Tract Depository in this city. Those de
sirous of distributing Tracts in our hospitals
can obtain them by applying at the office of

Wiiat I Live Fur.
I live for those who love me.
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For human ties that bind me ;
For the task by God assigned me;
For th’ bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that I can do.
I live to learn their story
Who’ve suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory,
And to follow in their wake :
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The noble of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd history’s pages,
And Time’s gret volume make.
I live to hold communion
With all that is Divine ;
To feel there is a union
’Twixt Nature’s heart and mine;
To profit by affliction,
Reap truths from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfil each grand pesign.
I live to hail that seasoii
By gifted minds foretold,
When men shall rule by reason,
And not alone by gold ;
When, man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
1 live for those who love me,
For those who know me true ;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And a-./aits my spirit too.
For the cause that lacks assistance;
For the wrong that needs resistance;
For the future in the distance ;
And the good that I can do.
Tlie Crops.
There is one crop, the importance of
which (remarks the Mobile Register) can
hardly be overestimated —the sweet potato.
It has the peculiar merit of being always
palatable and healthy, whether in combina
tion with other edibles or by itself, requir
ing absolutely no apparatus of cookery, no
table equipage. History has immortalized
it, as associated with the camp life of the
immortal Marion, and there is certainly no
other esculent, in our country at least,
which would have supplied its place to him
in his circumstances. We hear little, so
far, of this crop, but the spring has not been
unfavorable to it, and- there is-a long time
ahead that can be improved in multiplying
the plantings, which can be done indefinite
ly as long as the vines continifif' to run.—
The crop is made in the month of August
and early in September.
The time has not elapsed, indeed has on
ly about arrived, for sowing peas among
corn, and these it is to be hoped planters
will scatter without stint. Crab-grass hay,
too, should receive extra attention this
year, and the time for that is yet to come.
• On the whole, we see abundant reasons
to encourage the trust that we shall be am
ply provided during the coming season
with the necessaries of life.
Eulogy upon the Life ami Charac
ter of the Hou. Charles J.
McDonald,
Pronounced by Henry R. Jackson, at Ma
rietta, April 20M, 1861.
This is a pamphlet of 35 pages, published
by the Franklin Printing House, Atlanta,
Ga., and its contents afford unmistakable
evidence that they are the production of a
vigorous and highly cultivated ‘mind. We
have read Eulogies upon many of our great
departed ones, by their surviving compeers,
but we do not remember ever to have seen
anything of the kind, which so entirely cap
tivated us, as the one under review. Ex-
Governor McDonald was a most exemplary
character, upright, honest and truthful, and
it is fortunate for his memory that he has
found a Eulogist so fully competent to the
task of portraying his great and manly vir
tues, as the Hon. Henry R. Jackson. In
reading this production, one can scarcely
tell which most to love and admire, the
great roan who has fallen, or the no less
gifted one who pours forth, in strains of im
passioned eloquence, his touehirjg eulogy of
the mighty dead. Every Georgian who
is capable that noblest work
of God, “an honest man,” should procure
a copy of Mr. Jackson’s Eulogy. Those
who desire to possess a literary gem, so
pure and rare, may be gratified by sending
their orders immediately to Wood, Ilan
leiter, Rice & Cos., at this place.

Col portage In the Hospital*.
The editor of this paper has been ap
pointed local agent for army eolportage,
and has appointed a colporteur to the hos
pitals in this city. Brother Hughes has
been engaged in this work for about two
months, and much good has resulted from
his labors. Will the brethren send the
means for keeping him at his post 1 A
small contribution from each lover of Jesus
will enable us to keep him constantly en
gaged in laboring for the poor sick soldiers,
and we do hope that the Lord will put it
into their hearts to come up to the work.
We have also received a pressing invita
tion from a Colonel commanding in East
Tennessee, to send a colporteur to labor
amongst the soldiers in that department.—
We have also, as we believe, found the man
to go for us; and we call upon the friends
of this good work to send us the means
necessary to sustain him. Remittances
can be made to the Agent by mail, or where
the sums sent exceed $lO, by express.

to whom brethren will please make remit
tances at their earliest convenience.

A Word to Those who Love to Do
Good,
Richmond, Va., May 17, 1862.
Brother Hornady (editor of The Banner
mid Baptist) has kindly consented to act as
depository agent for me in Atlanta. This
is indeed a great favor; and our Board feel
that in doing this, brother 11. deserves the
thanks of all who feel interested in the
moral improvement of our soldiers. We
can now very easily reach and supply every
soldier in Atlanta, or that may be there
during the war. All that m needed is, that
our Agent have the cooperation of the
i brethren and sisters m this matter.
