spectfully argued, that it be piomptly it |
pealed or modified. This being done,
masters will be placed by public in \ m j
the same relation to their servants that j
parents bear to their children, in the pre
mises- tree to teach them or not to teach
them, to the extent indicated, at their dis
cretion, and at their own proper peril.
A few words more immediately as to the
effects of the statute and the probable conse
quences of its repeal, or modification as pro
posed. hr has drawn upon the institution
of slavery, as it exists in Georgia, a large
increase 4>f the censure and opposition
which it meets in the non-slaveholding
slates of the world. If the views of those
endeavoring to procure the repeal or mod
ification of the Act be correct, it has
drawn upon us tha Divine displeasure ; and
who can safely- say that we are not this day
suffering as a people for having by this
statute obstructed in a degree the “ free
course” and glory of the Gospel? Late
demonstrations show that the Act is offen
sive to the consciences of large portions of
the people of the State. Many have even
openly disregarded it, and many will doubt
less continue to do so. No indictment for
a breach of the Act has ever been filed, it
is believed ; and who that lives believes
that there ever will be one ? Masters who
teach or permit .others to teach their ser
vants to read the Scriptures, on the con
trary, are of our best and most respected
citizens, and the servants thus taught are
usually found in orderly connexion with
our Christian churches. Indeed, we often
boast of this to our anti-slavery assailants
And how reasonable that this be so, if the
Bible be the holy, true and blessed Book
we believe it to be, and we also be right
in supporting our title to our servants as
property, to be recognised and regulated
by it. Should the Scriptures be thus
thrown open to servants at the discretion
of their masters, no considerable increase
of the number taught to read them, accord
ing to probability, will soon take place,
however. In its nature the work of in
structing them we know to be .slow and
troublesome, and other causes will concur
in rendering progress under tin? change
very gradual. The apprehensions of some,
then, from this source we may hope are
imaginary, or at least greatly exaggerated.
The consequences of doing right, however*
we should be willing to abide ; let us fear
God and not men. With religious rights
in view, truth for our guide, and the honor
of the Gospel for our object, we may safely
go forward M. J. Wellborn.

THE GRAVE.
A rather in Israel Fallen.
Brother Thomas Douglas, of Randolph
county, departed this life on the9th day of
August, 1802, at the residence of his son
in-law. lie was called there to visit a sick
child, or grandchild, and being violently
attacked with gravel, never recovered j
strength enough to go back to his own I
house.
Brother Douglas was born October 25,
1784. Joined the Baptist church, in 1825,
at Fishing Creek, Wilkes county.; baptised
by brother G. Smith. Married to Mrs.
Jane Harris in the year 1819 ; she died in
182 G, and in 1830 he was married to Su
sail Pierman, who is left to mourn his loss.
The deceased lived from 1834 to 1841
|in Butts county, near the Indian Springs,
and in connection with two other brethren
was instrumental in building up the Bap
tist cause at that place. At the time of
his death he was a member of Benevolence
Church, Randolph county.
In attachment for his church and love
for his brethren, brother Douglas had few
equals. He was always at his post in the
sanctuary, and ever ready to promote the
interest of the church by'his prayer's, his
example, and his contributions. His pas
tin’ could always feel that brother Douglas
would second him in all proper movements
for the welfare of Zion. His heait and his
house were always fully and freely open
for the reception of his brethren, and of
him it may be said in a strong sense that
“ In every work tie began in the service of
God. he did it w ith all his heart .”
Although he was suddenly cdled away
from earthly ties, yet he expressed perfect
willingness to go, and exhibited assurance
to his wife and friends that he would be
happy in a Saviour’s presence.
The loss of such a man to the Church
can not be easily regained. But a merciful
and wise God has called him away, and
He doeth all things well. “ The Lord
giveth and the Lord taketb away ; blessed
be the name of the Lord.” Pastor.
Died, on the morning of the 10th of July,
at Richmond, from a wound received at
the battle of the 27th June, Capt. Willie
Lee, aged twenty-two years, of the 10th
Alabama Regiment. He was born in
Shelby county, Ala., where he spent th
halcyon days of his childhood. At a very
early age he professed religion, and united
himself to the Cumberland Presbyterian
elmrch. lie lived an exemplary life; his
marked piety and devotion to God are
sweet assurances that he is now realizing
the bliss of heaven. A dispatch was sent
to his‘father, who arrived at his side in
time to administer to his dying whets, and
catch the last whispered words that fell
from his quivering lips. Thus in early
manhood was he cut down, defending his
country’s capital ; bravely and firmly he
stood amid the shower of the enemy’s
angry missiles that fell so thickly mound
him. Fearlessly he rushed into the arms
of death, preferring to die in an c tlo**t to
rescue his country from the claims of end
less slavery and tyranny than to live and
lose so sacred a boon purchased by such
noble blood, How sweet to die so glo
riously ! A feeling of p;ide mingles with
the tears that so freely flow at the thought
of this brave young patriot, who so cheer
fully offered his life a living sacrifice on the
altar of our dear South. He is now quietly
sleeping in a strange land, while his spirit
mingles with heaven’s hosts, where the
wicked cease from troubling ard the weary
are at rest.
He died as he had lived, beloved,
| Without an enemy ouearth;
| in word and deed ho breathed and moved
j The soul of love and worth.
| His heart was open as the day,
His bearing high, his nnlufe brave —
I And w hen from life he passed away,
Our hearts w ent with him to the grave
[*
j What desolation tilled our heart,
When death from us this patriot bore—
O, for the better world tocome,
Where we shall meet uo more to part.
The hope of this sustains me now;
In this I trust on bended knee,
While thus around his faded brow
We twine the wreath of memory.
