The foliowin letter from the Secretary of
the Treasury, with regard to the destruction
- rif cotton belonging to the government,
which is likely to fall into the hands of the
enemy, has been made public:
Treasury Department, C. S. A.
Richmond, July 15. 1863.
Hon. J. A. Seddon, Secretary of War:
Sir—The fall of Vicksburg and Port
Hudson exposes to the enemy the cotton,
purchased by the government in Mississippi
and Louisiana. 1 learn that many of the
planters in whose care this cotton was, will
probably leave their plantations, so that
there will probably be no person to whom
the duty can be entrusted of preserving the
cotton, if it can be preserved, or of destroy
ing it when it is likely to fall into the hands
of the enemy.
Under these circumstances, I would res
pectfully submit that the subject should be
placed under the control of the command
ing genera's, and that they be instructed to ■
destroy all such cotton as cannot be pre- 1
served from the hands of the enemy.
With much respect,
C. C. Memmtnger,
Secretary of the Treasury.
Uncle Moreau, a very remarkable negro,
b<>rn on the banks of the Senegal river in 1
Western Africa, of the tribe of the Fulahs,
died in Wilmington, N. C.,-a few days ago
at the great age of 93. His name was
originally Omeroh, and he was brought to
America just before the abolition of the
slave trade in 1807. He spoke and read
Arabic, and was a devout Mussulman for
some years after his arrival in this country,
but finally embraced the Christian religion,
and connected himself with the Presbyte
rian church in Fayetteville. He was the
property of General Owen at the time of
his death.
General Johnston, we learn from the
Mibile Register, has expressed the most
favorable opinion of the defensibility of
Mibile, and proclaimed his intention of
holding it to the last extremity.

red to the proceedings of the steamers Al
abama, Florida, and Virginia, all of which
were built in British ports for the Southern
Confederacy. He said it was well known
that two iron clad ships were being built
at Liverpool sot the same purpose, and he
believed that if they were allowed to leave
England, the result would be a declaration
rd war on the part of the American govern
ment. American shipping had become
valueless, in consequence of the seizures
made by the Confederate cruisers. He
implored the government to take the prop
er steps to prevent the departure of these
vessels. He had been informed that the j
American government took note of the
value of every vessel captured be the south
ern privateers, and debited it to her Maj
isty’s government.
Mr. Laird, in response, taunted Mr. Cob
den with pursuing a course which, while it
■ would enable his friends in the North to
get all they wanted, would put a stop in
England to a legitimate branch of industry.
He accused the Americans of having built
ships of war for Russia during the Crim
ean war, and with raising recruits in Ireland
since the outbreak of the present conflict
Lord Palmerston defended the course
which the government had taken, and said
he could see no distinction of principles
between the selling of arms to the Feder
ate and the shipping of ships to the Confed
erates.
Letters from Hon. Gideon Welles, Sec
retary of the Navy, to Hon. Charles Sum
ner, are published in the English journals.
They refer to Mr. Laird's statement in Par
liament, that his firm had been approached
in 1861 by the agents of the federal govern
ment relative to the building of war vessels
for the North. He asserts neither direct
ly nor indirectly that any application w;a
made by his (Mr. Welles) authority to the
Messrs. Laird, or any other foreign ship
builders, for the construction of vessels for
the American government. Advances had
been made to him. however, on behalf of
numerous English and other foreign ship
builders; but in every instance the propo- ■
sitioti to build, or procure to be built, ves
sels for the federal navy abroad, was de- i
dined. * ;
An apostolic letter, addressed by his
Holiness Pope Pius IX to Archbishop,
Hpghes, of New York, and dated at St. ,
Peter’s, August 18, 1862, has just been
published in America. The venerable pon ■
tiff exhorts the fiery bishop to peaceful 1
counsels, and advises a conference with the ,
Archbishop of New Orleans, with a view
of bringing about the end of the struggle
between the United and the Confederate 1
! States. '
The Queen s speech proroguing Parlia
i inent, contains the following reference to
I the American struggle: “Civil war con
tinues in America. It inflicts much evil
not only on the contending parties, but on
other nations. We see however, no rea
son to depart from our strict neutrality.”

lion.
Rear Brethren : Permit rne to say thro’
The Baptist Banner that the Hightower
Association is just over. There was much
harmony, love, and zeal among the breth
ren. The Gospel was preached with in
terest and power to an attentive congrega
tion, a|d, from the appearance, much good
was done. Brother E. L. Compere, that
worthy young minister, who has been la
boring as Missionary among the Indians
west of Arkansas, was at our meeting, and
delivered us an interesting discourse rela
tive to the political and religious condition
of that people. He also, with Elder F. M.
Hawkins and others, presented the claims
of The Baptist Banner to the Association,
from the fact that it has been enlarged to
its former size, and that its religious edit
or is our faithful and well known A. C. Day
ton, and because it promises to visit the
soldiers at such low rates of subscription.
Upon these considerations, and the very
great desire of the soldiers to have religious
reading, the Association recommended lib
eral subscriptions for the paper, and several
have already sent on their mites for it.—
And here permit me to say to all before
whose eyes this may appear, while so many
hundred soldiers and others are rapidly
going in’o eternity, let us consider if there
is no responsibili ■ resting upon us to do
all we can to present the Gospel and bring
to bear every religious influence in our
power to the end ihat that God who “de-|
lighteth not in the death of any ’ may bless
and save previous *nuls. Brother Compere!
is now preparing b- make bis jonrney back |

soldiers in the \\ e.-o- rn army.

Now.
j ‘ A good time coming’ is the ever-burthen
'of song and prophecy. Undoubtedly, if
the theme of human progress be true, there
is a good time always coming, and will be
to the day of doom. But we apprehend
I that it is unwise, as well as unphilosophical,
to look ahead for all our good time. It is
’ very possible by such a process to overlook
. the good time of one’s whole life, ihat
. which we disdain to day, in our gaze after
• to-morrow, is precisely th«*morrow s good
for which we were looking yesterday. To
■ the appreciative soul, there is no earthly
time better or more immaculate than the
ever-present now. If, instead of postpon
ing our enjoyments to fancied good times
corning,’ we would make the best of the
present hour, we should have a perpetual
good time. It is we, and not the Great
Disposer of the hours, who make our time
aood or ill—we. who can make it a cup of
Tantalus, or a chalice of benizon. It is be
cause the race lives a visionary life, decry
ing the virtues of the present and exag
gerating the probabilities of the future,
that it does not at once and forever step
forth from darkness to sunshine, and from
gloom to glory.
To the heart that beats and the mind
that aspires, only with high, pure, and lov
ing purposes, all tom* lic.w-. in golden circles,
and every moment is a note of melody in
the eternal anthem of the \ ears. Our
times are the good times io which they
looked, who are now sleeping in the mould ;
indeed, they are grandly good times for
ourselves, if we will but live worthy of
them. Compared with ages that have
been, our times are as the noon to the twi
light. Let us, then, accept, and improve
them, as a part of the bountiful Providence
of God, who gives everything good for
the time and perfect of its kind.
FEELING.
One of the objections which many have
to commencing a religious life now, is that
they 7 think they have not sufficient feeling in
regard to it. They feel interested; they feel
desirous to obtain acceptance with God
through Christ; they feel conscious of their
sinfulnes in the sight of God ; they recog
nize, all about them, the evidences of God’s
love towards them, and still complain of a
want of feeling. Here is a contradiction
between their state as it exists in their
imagination, and as indicated by the real ’
evidences.
You who feel thus need to commence a |
Christian life, and then you will have all
the feeling which, with your organizaiion, .
is necessary and proper. If you have seen
the folly of living for worldly things alone,
and desire that life tor which almost every
soul has a longing, you are ready to com
mence a Christian life with or without any ;
particular feeling beyond which you rnay
have fancied necessary. Then commence!
now, and have no fear that you will not
have feeling enough to hold you to your
profession, for with your heavenly Father !
to lead you, you will’ not fail to progress. 1
He is" a Guide who not only teaches the i
way, but who also furnishes the food we |
need to sustain us on our journey. XVe are ;
shiprecked sailors on the sea of sin, and ,
God, standing upon the firm foundation of!
his own omnipotence, has seen our danger,
and, in his love for us, has sent his promis- •
es as life boats to our rescue. Cast your- J
selves upon those promises, and, although
you may be rocked somewhat in your ex- ‘
i perience for a season, you will surely reach
i the shore in safety. Take him for your
helmsman, and he will soon bring you to
i such a point of faith and love as will satisfy
I your desire for feeling. Through the expe
! rience of the brother who pe. s the message,;
God says to you, “ Put your trust in him
who has promised that he will never leave .
nor forsake you, and the future shall never j
bring you the ability to say that you trust-'
ed him in vain.’’

In Memoriam.
' ‘-Never morning wore to evening but some heart did break ”
; The subfeet of this brief, notice, Captain .John
I Badger Golding, was a native of Barn well District,
I South Carolina. He spent his term of study at the
I Citadel Military Academy at Charleston; studied
law at Savannxh under the lamented Bartow, the
winters oi 1852 —3; was admitted to the bar the
en-uino-sprino" thence moved to South-West Geor
gia, where he married and pursued the practice of
his profession successfully till the breaking out of
the beginning of hostilities he formed
a company ; was elected Captain and marched to
the defence’of Savannah. He was present at the
lu.ll of Port Roval, and it was with bitter regret i.e
. turned to obey the order to ret eat and leave
i a part of his native Stale in possession of the inva
i ders. The winter of 1861-2 was spent with bis
i command on the Islands around Savannah. Early
I in the spring his regiment (ihe 60th Georgia) was
I ordered to Virginia. It arrived in time for the
I “seven days battles around Richmond,’’ in three of
’ which Captain Coldintr distinguished himself by
cool intrepidity and unflinching courage. From that
time he was In the most active service under Stone
wall Jackson, engaged in lung and rapid marches
1 and desperate fighting; at Front Royal, Sharpsburg,
f second Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Cban
-1 cellorsville, and lastly at Winchester, when, on
i ihe 15th June, 1863, while leading his gallant band
in a buceesstul charge on a Yankee battery, in tne
i moment of victory while shouts of triumph broke
i on liis ear, his bruve heart wa* pierced by a Minnie
1 ball. He fell and expired almost instantly, only ex
claiming, “ Lord have mercy 1” He sleeps on the
battle-field where he fought his last fight, far away
5 from home, wife, little ones in dear old Georgia,
l and his, aged parents, sisters, and brothers in South
Carolina.
t His,weary marching is all over; no more will he
be chilled with snow, scorched by heat, drenched
with rain, faint from hunger and thirst, or pained
[ by the sad sounds of war and of w<>e He rests on
the blood-baptized soil of the Old Dominion.
) Captain Culding was a Very promising young man,
distinguished < y a commanding personal appear
' ance ,nne talents, a kind and uncommonly amiable
> disposition.as well as a popular conciliatory manner.
He was the idol of his relatives, and esteemed by
- all who kn> w him. For the last three years of his
, lire he was a consistent member of 'the Baptist
’ church, and for the pastyear he has givui evidence
j of a deep and sincere growth in ail heavenly graces.
' His letters, while breathing a martial spirit and ear
-1 nest patriotism, are imbued with a true and humble
reverenc • for the God of battle*. Every soldier
c unaer him testified to his goodness, his kindness,
| his Christian dfe and coiiv r.-ation, and his brother
' officers to his h : gh-toned, honorable priciples.—
f Tuey express a deep and profound regret at his un
timely late. The Confederacy has lost no braver
mau or better patriot than he. He had a natural
. vocation lor military life, which education as w< 11
as taste fitted hirn for. He was ever calm and se-
- rene amid the thunders of battle.
His Lieutenant, in a leijer to the writer, says:
» “He was the bravest ot the brzve, and exclaiming
, Come on my braves, I will stand by you if will by
me, led us in that fatal ettarge which terminated
1 his life by a gloiious death.” Can words do jus. Ice
to the worth of the noble dead 1 Alas, no !* I feel
their impotency. Expressions of grief, woidsof
| regret, R:em but mere words, of course, tame and
commonplace, utterly tell his worth
or our soi row.
But thy worth is written in the book above ; an
, gels have recorded it; God has rewarded it.
Fame! what i it*? Can it bring back the loved
and lost? Can it restore to happiness the crushed,
• the bowed, the broken-hearted ? Mere empty
sounds mocking our grief seem the ordinary ex
pressions of condolence; but love cherishes holily,
. sacredly, the memories of our departed ones.- Deep
’ in the hearts of thousands lie emoalmed the heroes
• of this ghastly war. Deep in our hearts lies the
memory of our Beloved friend. “We caunot make
i him dead.” lie was the embodiment ot all that was
, manly: he is not dead, but only gone before. This
' is a poor tribute to one So noble. Thousands of
. stereotype expressions occur to me, but why repeat
them ? That he was good, his nearest friends knotv;
‘ that he was’estimable, is proved in the esteem of the
, good ichich was eminently his \ that he was brave, his
- death has illustrated. The “ hero of an hundred
■ battles” is at last conquered by death. Aged
thirty-three years, ten months, and nineteen days.
“Theshadow feared of rnan,L
that broke our fair companionship, • i
And bore thee when I could not go,
Nor follow, though I walk in haste,
i And think that somewhere in the waste,
The shadow sits and wait for me.”
_Vvt long will “ the shadows” have to wait. Soon,
I very soon shall we meet in the peaceful fields above,
in the laud where war is unknown; where God shall
wipe our tears away, and where the laurels of the
warrior shall bud a bloom through all eternity.
May God guide and protect the widow and two
little orphans through this tempestius life is our
prayer. L’lxConnie.
