EVERETT, Florida. ATLANTA, G-KOFtGrIA: Saturday, April is, isc>3. THE PRESS. The press, in whatever respect consider ed, is a fruitful arid interesting topic. For what it has done, it deserves our regard ; for what it may do, it is still more worthy of our attention. It has accomplished a great moral and in tellectual revolution, but this, unlike most revolutions, has been peaceful in its charac ter and beneficent iii its influence. Steam, in its application to the boat, thy ship, and the car, has been to the press the most effi cient of handmaids—the former stimulating the latter to exertion, and distributing, world-wide, whatever is published. To gether they have done wondrous things; it is their certain destiny to accomplish far greater. The genius of our Fultons incal culably increase the power and usefulness of our Franklins. Common honor to the printer and the machinists!—joint laborers in the same great mission of social regener ation and the extension of the area of civil ization. The progress in the mechanical arts, particularly in the present century, has multiplied beyond computation the sphere and power of the press. The surface of the earth has become a vast net-work ot rail roads, while innumerable canals are auxili ary to the diffusion and exchange of infor mation. The air above us, by the aid of modern science, is no longer a “ mere clau sum ” —it is open and navigable. The. courses of travel are marked by tens of thousands of wires, along which are borne a great and increasing commerce—a com merce whose freight is thought, and whose wings are the quills of lightning. Prolific as steam is in blessings, social and political, it becomes not only useless, but direful, unless properly directed by pre-arranged pipes and valves. So, also, the press may be powerful for good or ill. Some restraint is necessary. We should rather avoid putting too much than too lit tie restriction on the press; prune a tree carefully and it will flourish the more—top and bark it too freely, and it w ill die. The freedom of the press mainly consists in its exemption from censorship prior to publi cation. Th< only restraint upon it, tolera ted in this country, consists in the liability of libellers to prosecution before a jury of the country. The liberty of our press should never be surrendered. It is not the growth of a day, but an off-shoot from the venerable tree of British liberty, into w hich it was only ingrafted after much delay and many difficulties. W hen we consider that thousands read newspapers, or hear them read, w ho do not subscribe to them, we perceive that the press of the present day has more than Briarean arms; it penetrates into mountain gorges, and its influence is diffused amidst primal forests and blooming prairies, scarce ly opened to the eye of the adventurous backwoodsman, The newspaper is read by millions who scarcely read an) thing else. The general literature of a country is indicative both of the morality and tastes of its inhabitants. The best guaranty for the purity and integrity > t the press, is a sound and \ irtuous public opinion. They act reciprocally upon each other. Let the people frown upon c>riupting and lying publications, but preserve, at all hazards, the press in its freedom, lor it is an essen tisl part of our constitutional liberty. MEETING OF BAPTIST CONVENTIONS. Avgusta is the Place.— The Biennial Convention.- Our readers will notice that .t n/us/u, (fa , has been substituted for (\>- t lumhia, S. C., as the place ot meeting ot the Biennial Convention. Remember. then. Augusta is the place. The Georgia Baptist c onvention (annual) will be held at Griffin, < n Friday before the t'.’ th Sabbath of the pi < nt month. We have perfected arrai gemer.ts which will secure to our readers prompt ami full reports ot the proceedings of both ot these con ventioi.s. Light is but the shadow of God. The Legislature and the Printers. In to-day’s paper will be found an appeal from the Printers of this city to the Legis lature, protesting against the passage of the bill introduced by Mr. Bigham, a few days ago, “to abolish Printers’ Unions.” We I are persuaded to believe that Mr. Bigham has not given the subject the consideration which its importance demands; and that on more mature reflection he will become, con i vinced that he is attempting to do the “dis iciples of Faust, Guttemberg, Schoeffer and ■Franklin” a great wrong, by seeking to de prive them of that right w hich is claimed ' by, and belongs to, al! men —the-right to; put a price on their own labor. The Editor of this paper is a practical | printer, and regrets very much to see any effort made by the law-making power to deprive “the craft” of rights exercised by all freemen. If a printer has not the right 'to put a price on his own labor, has any other working man that right ? If the Leg islature wishes to regulate a printer’s wages, will it not also regulate the wages of all other working men? Why single out this . class of our fellow-citizens, to practice such ■ gross injustice upon, without interfering in ; any manner whatever, with any other class? Are they less worthy or deserving than j other men ? .1 There are only two Printers’ Unions in J Georgia, and not a dozen in the, whole ’South: and will Legislators (who, we will J venture to say, know very little, and prob- Lably nothing, of the workings of a Union) declare that their influence for harm is so I great that it requires the strong arm of the , law to put them down ? We have been -a member of several of these just-discovered . j hurtful (?) associations, and believe them ■ necessary for the well being of their mem .• bers. During the period when the science of philological ethnography was in a transi ; tion state, it was much feared by some pi |ous persons that its researches were point ing to a conclusion adverse to Revelation ; and other parties could ill conceal the pleas ure with which they anticipated that its de monstrations would falsify the statements ot the Bible touching the original perfection of man and the unity of the different races of the human family. We are told, in the sacred writings, that the first inhabitants of the world were a single pair, and that from them descended all the nations of the earth, c This pair, of course, and their immediate descendants, spoke one language, and this language was, after the deluge, broken up, by a miraculous interposition, in‘o a nuin l her of idioms. We are not told, nor is it I probable, that the original Adamite lan guage was abolished, and that all these va rieties were so many new creations; on the contrary, we should expect that, however different these tongues might become by the I confusion introduced at Babel, and by the incongruous habits of different tribes, there would still be traces of a common origin. ( It is the acknowledged tendency of philo logy to establish this. Thus it has happened with language, as with astronomy, geology, and the hiero glyphics of Egypt—from all of which, at different times, an unfavorable verdict has ( been anticipated on the truthfulness of the Bible—that every conclusion arrived at is in entire harmony with the testimony of the Scripture, which ‘can not be broken.’ History, science, and sound philosophy, can never be found adverse to that blessed Book which bears upon its pages the im press of Heaven, and which has been ex posed to every possible test through a suc cession of ages, still proving itself to be the word ot God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Ti skai.oosa Association.—We are in debted to Elder John Thomas, moderator, for a copy of the Minutes of the thirtieth annual session of the Tuskaloosa Baptist Association, held at Concord meeting house, 'j l ayette county, Ala , from the 20th to the >22 1t t September, 1862.

In this commend able work, we trust that Georgia will ‘lead off. W ould it not be eminently proper that this subject should be discussed before the large and intelligent body of Christians from various portions of the State, who will meet iu convention at Griffin on next Friday ?

CORRESPONDENCE. ■ Headquarters 31st Alabama Volunteers, i Vicksburg, April 3, 1863. . : Dear Banner : Port Hudson has been assailed b\ the , water-terrors of Farragut, with a strongde . termination on his part to unite with the , I fleet of Porter above ; the Yazoo expedition has penetrated into that river and its tribu , taries, with a view of compelling us from the Gibraltar of the young Confederacy ; the Yankee iron-clads have again attempted to pass our batteries, to join Farragut at Brown de Johnson’s wharf. In all their un dertakings, they have most signally failed, and the proud “hilled city,” frowning grim defiance to the enemy, and Port Hudson too, the guardian of liberty beicrw, still live. These strongholds live in the hearts of the patriotic sons and daughters of the South, who w ill ever point to their gallant achieve ments as examples to be followed by their beleaguered sister cities. They live in the undying remembrance of those w ho have so nobly contributed to their defence. Vicks burg and Port Hudson live as a terror to the invaders round about them—w ho have striven for long months to reduce them, that there might not be “one stone left upon another” —and *as the pricking, painful thorn in the flesh to the Yankee govern ment. God grant that these places may have existence on the banks of the majestic rixer when Yankee avarice. Yankee treach ery, aukee despotism, and the despicable, poisonous, rotten Yankee nation, have en tirely “ played out.” Two of our prisoners, captured by the enemy at Arkansas Post, made their escape from Porter The other day, and report that Lancaster was the name of the iron-clad vessel sunk by our batteries, and that the other, partially iron-clad, now lying at Brown A Johnson's wharf in a very shat tered condition, was the Monitor. They say Porter was much chagrined at his ill success, and more so, if possible, at the deafening shouts of our bovs on the bank of the river, when they saw the Lancaster go under, and the frightened Yankees take to their small boats. It is said that one of our shells struck one of their yawls, in which eight nr ten were making for the Louisiana shore, and the w hole twist— boat, blue e > and all —were seen no more. They were doubtless jammed beyond the middle of the century succeeding the recog nition and prosperity of the Confederacy. hat will become of Banks, the succes sor of the Brute, I know not.. One thing is certain, he will not risk anything. Their' j inglorious repulse at Port Hudson rests upon the head of Farragut, and not Banks, ' where it properly should. Banks is a shrewd j Massachusetts Yankee, and he thinks it bet iter to hold a position at New Orleans than {to make a fight, get a thrashing, an J be call led away to Washington to account for his failure. Consequently, he will lie low and \keep dark. Though, in truth, Mr. Banks •ought to be in the valley ot \ irginia, for “old Stonewall” may be sent round there i before a great w hile, and he will need Nir. I Banks, his efficient “Commissary. The famous “Yazoo Expedition,” intend-: ing so much and accomplishing so little, is thought to be on its legs. Since the repulse at Fort Pemberton, they have been lying idle. Some of our papers say we will get the whole concern, “ lock, stock and barrel,” before they get back into the Mis sissippi; but I hardly think so. I have no J doubt it will result in a dreadful loss to them, but small gain to us. They will de stroy their gunboats and transports, burn up their supplies and small arms, and prob-| ably sink their heavy guns in the river,' where we can't find them, and make their j way overland to the Mississippi, if the fall i in the river should continue. Any way, 1 am satisfied, it will be a barren project to 1 them. . j Rumor says Gen. Bragg will be sent to; Mobile, and Buckner to this place. How 1 wish the department would send old Brax ton to this place. With his disciplinary powers and expedition in fitting up an *Jir my, as no one else can do m our service, the old Hero would soon work some chan ges in this quarter most, necessary to the public safety. Some think the army is I wanting in discipline over here, and he could ! soon right that. Li haste, yours, T. B. E. [.For the Baptist Banner.} • Christ Receiving and Eating with Sinners. The Pharisees and Scribes murmured because Christ received and ate with sin ners. But He vindicated Himself by par ables, and taught them that “ He came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repen tance.” The purity of Christ’s character was not sullied by thus mingling with the publicans and other notorious sinners, be cause His object was to do them good and encourage them to come to Him. Christ came to save these poor abandoned people, upon whom the‘Scribes and Pharisees look ed down with contempt. And, on one oc casion. He told the proud priests and elders that the publicans and harlots would go into the kingdom of God before them. How unlike the example of our Lord is the conduct of many of His profess'd fol lowers. Some associate with the base and lewd, not with the hope or design of resto ring them to the paths of virtue and honor, for that is not attempted. Or if a word of reproof is given, it is in such a frivolous way, and counterbalanced by bad example, that no good is done. Christ did not trifle thus, nor did lie teach us to so mingle with the vile as to bring reproach upon our names and disgrace and scorn upon our fam ilies. We would plead with such, for the sake of the church of Christ tnd the wel fare of those who rise or fall with them, to stop and think. But there is another class more culpable, if possible, than these. It is those who would scorn any attempt to; redeem such as are not now worthy of our association. Is there no hope for the poor degraded? And if they repent and reform, must they still be rejected? Are we more honorable than our Lord, who received the very chief of sinners? He never scorned those who sought His holy teachings, but would raise them to honor and joy in the world to come. Do you ask, what can be done for these poor, miserable persons? Much can be done. First encourage them to attend church, and if they happen to sit down by you, do not be so rude as to leave your seat; and if they are awkward in manners or dress, do not laugh at them— it may keep them from church. If they are sick and in want of attention, go and administer to their wants; give them earnest but ten der admonitions; pray for them,giye them good books; let them know that they are cared for, but that they w ill not be received into society unless they reform. If such become penitent, give all the instruction you can. If they profess faith in Christ, the church should not be hasty to reject nor to receive; give them time to prove their fidelity, and if they are faithful, the church should cordially receive them as brethren or sisters in the Lord. Brethren, may it not be so, that we have failed to do our duty towards those degra ded persons whom society had rather drive away than reform ? Let us pray over this matter, look after the good of the church and community where we live, and try to follow the meek and lowly Jesus. Then it may be that many a Mary Magdalene will wash the feet of Christ with tears, and say, ■ “Much I love. I’m much forgiven; I’m a miracle of erace.” D. Rogers. ■ Powers P. 0., Ga. I [For The. Baptist Banner.} Jesse Campbell. Atlanta, Ga., April 13, 1863. Last night—seeing the lights of a church window beaming, and hearing the bells calling upon mau to go up to the bouse of worship, ; their clear signal-like notes reminding me that this was the day of rest, and it behooved frail | humanity to visit the temple where prayer is “wont to be made”—l wended my way to the First Baptist Church, and quietly seated myself I amongst the numerous auditory. A soldier has comparatively but few opportu -1 nities to listen to the Word, though this is said ito be a Gospel land, and therefore it, was with ' emotions of gratitude and pleasure that I found ' myself in a church again, and reminiscences of my boyhood came over me. Again I was a child, and distinctly I could see my father and mother in their corner pew, and old familiar faces all around me. Even the oak tree that stood at the corner was plain to my sight, and in fancy I could hear its branches moving against the window, just as it did years ago, when swayed by the wind But my revery was broken by the choir's opening hymn of praise, and then an old man rose. I need not describe him, for who of your 1 readers is unacquainted with Jesse Campbelt,. ' For many years past he has stood forth a sole . dier of the Cross on the battlements of the Gos -1 pel, clothed with the “ armor of God,” and wield {ing the sword of faith, defying all enemies ot ; Truth, and encouraging and strengthening his { co workers and comrades to fight the good fight. Va n indeed were my pen, did I essay to de scribe him. Mankind can never pay his just tribute. Ilis reward he looks not for here, but iin the “great hei*eafter.” The old man rose, his hair glistening with the Silver token of advancing years, his eye spark 4ing as by inspiration, and with a voice low, yet <®car and distinct, he announced his discourse upon the unchangeablcuess of Christ, who was “ the same yesterday, to-day and forever.” With calm ami solid reasoning, he portrayed the in stability and evanescence of all things human, • and then startlingly contrasted the inimutabilG ty and firmness and sameness of the Redeemer. Rising with his subject in a masterly manner, ! he argued with a clearness and force that defied I all refutation, and his audience, spell bound, 1 (myself among the number,) listened, entranced j to his native eloquence. Did you hear him describe the meetings be- I neath the moon's gentle light, and the prayer meetings, that day by day, and night by night, are held in the camps? Did you hear him de fend the soldier from the imputation of being more “wicked than others”? Did you listen when lie spoke of the gratitude I with which the soldier receives the Testaments, tracts and religious reading of all descriptions? If you did, was there not a resolve in your heart that you would aid him in his work ? Ye who are at home in plenitude and ease, surrounded by your families, enjoying the bless ings of life, the privileges of a Christian society ; have ye no heart for the poor soldier, who, on the battle-field or in monotonous camps, longs ' for the news of a “ protecting Saviour” ? who, ' far away from family and friends, from wile and child, from father and mother, exposed to temp tation and vice, yearns for that Bible which tells of an atoning Redeemer, a sin-offering, a Medi ator—who would, with gratitude, receive reli gious works that, like holy mile stones, would indicate to h : m the way to Heaven and happi ness ? Say, will ye not remember the soldier? If so, aid Jesse Campbell in his work. The abili- I ty, the willingness and the will is with him; and that long he may be spared as a “ shining light” and a “beacon in the highway,” is the prayer of A Soldier. The National Uapital.—Mloney mania, A correspondent who spent several days | in the city of Richmond, after saying that [ nowhere, and not from a single individual, i did he hear any allusion to the war, pro- ! ceeds thus: I often asked, can it be possible? Is this Richmond, with t v<> hundred thousand Ab olitionists within two days’march. Every citizen seemed intent upon mo: ey making. The shops of the tradespeople were filled with goods. The Jews were unusually busy, and wore happier faces than they have for 1829 years. The streets were crowded with soldiers, or with men wearing the garb of soldiers. The hotels are filled, and re staurants abound with guests. A single meal at one of these establishments—a beef-steak, one dozen oysters, and coffee— cost five dollars. A partridge, 81.25. The hotels charge from 85 to' 87 per diern. — Apples cost 25 cents each, and while I am writing this, in the gallery of the House of Representatives, a gentleman is making a speech on government finances. .tTiisic? Music is the soprano, the feminine prin ciple, the heart of the universe; because; it is the voice of love—because it is the highest type and aggregate expression of passionate attraction, therefore it pervades all space, and transcends all being like a divine influx, what tone is to the word, • what expression is to form, what affection is to thought, what the heart is to the head, what intention is to argument, what insight is to policy, what religion is to philosophy,' what moral influence is to power, what wo man is to man is music to the universe.— Flexible, graceful and free it pervades all things, and is limited to none. It is not poetry; but the soul of poetry ; it is not mathematics, but it is in numbers, like har monious proportion in cast iron, it is not painting; but it shines through colors and gives them their tone ; it is not dancing but it makes all graceful motion; it is not. ar chitecture, but the stones take their places in harmony with its voice and stand in ‘petrified music.’ In the words of Bellini, {‘Every art is the body of music, which is ■the soul of every art; so in music, too the soul of love, which also answer not for its workings, for it is the contact of divine, i with human.’ From 'he Savannah Republican. Education of Soldiers’ Orphans. Savannah, March 31, 1863. Mr. Editor':— l ask for space in your col umns to repeat a sugge. lion, already made - through some (>t‘ our religious papers, in regard to the education of the indigent or phans of our soldiers who have fallen in this war. It may not bo improper for me to mention that I have labored among our troops, from the beginning of the struggle until now, as a “Army Evangel ist,” and this tact, perhaps, has drawn my attention to this subject. It has, at least, given me the opportunity for learning the character and feelings of our soldiers, which some of your readers have not enjoyed. It should not be forgotten that our army is composed almost exclusively of volun teers, who have proven themseives among the best (if not the very best) soldi' rs the world has ever Seen. lam satisfied this is owing, in a great measure, to their iutelli g. nee. Leaving out of the question the sol diers from other States, of whom I know but little, it is true of our Georgia soldiers, that the proportion of those who can not read does not exceed one percent. I make this statement deliberately, and know whereof 1 affirm. And then you will.scarce ly find a company that does not contain, sometimes as privates in the ranks, gradu ates <>f colleges and Universities. Such men know and fe« l their personal responsi bility, and hence “ everj man’s a hero.”— Many of these heroes have sacrificed their lives in our defence, and if seems to me Mr. Editor, that gratitude, if nothing else, should prompt us to educate their orphans, at least to such an extent as will qualify them to appreciate the rights and privile ges which they will enjoy under a free gov ernment. It they had lived, th, ir children would not have been doomed to ignorance as well as poverty. Can nothing he done to prevent t-iie entailment of such an evil upon them ? I believe it is perfectly practicable to give to all these poor orphans in our Slate a plain English education. (I trust many of them may be still more highly favored.) Up to the battle of Sharpsburg, there were left in Georg'a three thousand six hundred and eighteen widows. The battles which have occurred since, and other causes, have prob ably increased this number to five th uisanJ. Suppose there are three thousand of these, whose children must be educated by chari ty, or never be educated at all. I think, it would be found, on investigation, that not 4 more than two children to a family, on an average, could be spared to attend school at the same time. Some of the larger hoys have already grasped the handles of the plows which their fathers left standing in the furrows when they rushed to arms, and the larger girls are aiding their poor moth ers in making music with the spinning wheel and the loom. Yet even these may snatch sufficient time from labor to acquire such education as 1 propose should be given them. Suppose, then, we have to provide tor the tuition of six thousand orphans, who shall boat’d at home and attend school ia their own neighborhoods. At 810 a schol ar for tuition and books, it would require two hundred and. forty thousand dollars per annum. Can not this amount be raised, year by' year, to accomplish an object so important? It’ not, lam mistaken both as to the ability and spirit of our people. The question as to the best plan for raising the necessary means, I leave to the wisdom of the people. “ here theie’s a will, there’s away.” If this object shall commend it self to favorable consideration, the want of means will not be allowed to prevent its accomplishment. . Some may inquire, Where are the teach , ers to come from ? the men are all in the army. I answer, that our women mustbe corne the instructors of the youth, or the children of the rich and poor will grow up lin ignorance together. Happily for us, as a people, we have women in every neigh j borhood “worthy and well qualified,” who will enter upon this work if the necessary countenance and encouragement are afford ed them. What a blessing it would be to our country if, in the providence of God, J the rising generation should be educated by such teachers. Why, many of tho wives and daughters of our fallen heroes would engage in this business, and thus gain a live lihood for themselves, at the same time that they may be a blessing to others. If this work, Mr. Editor, ought to be done, its commencement should not be long delayed. All the arguments in favor of the timely education of our youth generally bear with double force in favor <>i the or phans, whqpe cause I plead now, and whose cause 1 will continue, to plead while God shall permit rue to use my voice or my pen. If Georgia shall lead off’ in this good work, her noble sisters will soon follow her exam ; pie. J. H. Campbell. Word* of Trntii. Brig. Gen. Howell Cobb, in publishing recently an order for the observance by the I troops under his command, of the 27th, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, ; gave utterance to the following noble ami truthful words, ami we trust that all our Generals and commanders as well as pri ■ vates, may be guided by similar senti ments : /j “There is no more appropriate place for grateful hearts and an abiding faith than in the army. Let the army, upon whose val or and gallantry the country leans with hope and confidence in her hour ot trial, manifest their dependence upon and conn deuce iu Hirn, who has given them vieto ries in the past and who will in His own good time give them new triumphs in the future. The soldier who goes foi t h to meet the enemies of his country, with a h'-nriJ full of gratitude for th ■ p;mt. and with a strong faith in the luture, is doiiui) armed. An army of good men is an orm\ of brave men.” M eep for love, but never- for anger: a ** cold rain will never bring flowers.
