Th* Bralkwa Btptlit Convention.
ThU body met at Louisville. Ky . on tl>?
6th May. R*v. W. T). Thomas, of thl* piaoe.
Cat* hi* congregation in the B*ptiet Church
taat Sunday evening e brief account of the
proceeding*. He alluded to the fact of the
separation of the Baptists North and Booth
about 26 year* ago, growing out of political
cau*<*. He explained the natdre of the organisation
of the Southern General Con vention,
that it wa* a toluntary body of dele- 1
gate* from Stat* conrention*, auooiation*
f and churohe* organised for three apeoial objects:
The promotion of Domeetie M ission*,
Foreign Mission and Sunday Sohoels, The
Convention claim* no power to govern or
di*olplln* the church** or individual* or to
preaoribe rule* or creed*, hut U eimply an
agenay to giv* effect to lh* general efforts
of the conetltuent bodies in promoting the
object* aimed at. Mr. Thomas remarked
that the separation of the General Bapliet
Convention in the Uuited States into two
distinct bodies, although deplored on many
aeoounte, ha* been yet productive of good ;
more has been accomplished by the two than
eould have been by only one organisation,
the Southern churches had been badly crippled
id mooted resources during the war.
as all knew, bet they are now recovering.
The Convention i* getting out of d?-bt. 22
thousand dollara were contributed last year
for Home Missions, and an equal sum for
Foreign, but the Stale aod different local
bodies had contributed much more then that
for the home service. No more than the
sum named had been contributed for For
eign Missions.
Mr. Thomas stated that there wa* an interesting
discussion on the subject of coonerst
inir or re unillnc with the Northern
Baptist Convention. The discussion was
conducted in a kind manner, and the conclu
aion arrived at was most decided, that for the
preient it would not be promotive of good
to give up the Southern organizations and
to re-unite wilh the Northern. No unkind
spiilt was manifested, and there was a general
oonourrence in I he disposition and wish
to cultivate fiaternal relations and kind of.
flees between the two great divisions of the
Baptist family io the United States.
Mr. Thomas stated that the Convention,
although several of the able and eminent
men who have appeared at some previous
conventions were absent, was nevertheless
an able assembly.
Dr. P. II. MklL. of Ga., was elected President
of the Convention ; J. R. Hawkins of
Ky., and E. C Williams, of Maryland, Bee
retaries ; Dr. Botes, oi this State was elee
ted one of the Vice-Presidents, wilh three
others.
The proceedings and recommendations of
the Convention were most embodied in the
reports of the different boarde which were
adopted. Dr. iioTcr a* ususl made an able
exposition of the affairs of the Theological
Reminsry at this place, in an address bo
fore the Convention. The most lively Intereel
was exhibited by all in the suceeea o'
the Institution, and means contributed to
that purpose.
Convention meets next year at St Louis,
Missouri.
Air-Dine Railroad.
The Committee appointed to prepare a
scheme for raising the necessary contribution
for Greenville, submitted their report to the
Bxeoutive Committee, which met in the C. II.,
on last Monday evening, we give the report
in full and congratulate onr eitisens on the
brightening prospects of the road. Mr.
McAdams, of Charlotte, N. C., happened to be
present and made a few encouraging remarks,
Charlotte and the County of Mecklenburg were
fully alive to the matter, and he was rejoiced
to And Greenville so much in earnest. The
right of wry would be freelv granted in North
Carolina and the rote of the people of Mecklenburg
almost unanimous in (Detaining the
subscription of $200,000 ; 50 thousand dollars(
besides were made up already by private subscription
of stock in ten minutes effort. Dr. J.
P. Borcx, made a brief address, and gave
some amusing rominiscencos of the early rail*
road building in this State, showing that the
business of the roads had farexceeded the first ,
calculation. Mr. J. \V. Carlisle of Spartan* i
borg, also mads a few remarks, pledging the I
hearty co-operation of bis town and County 1
J. P. Rest), Esq., of Anderson, made a short
address; be thought the road should pass
through Anderson, Oreenville, Spartanburg
and Yorkville. Mr. Rsat> said that Qreea*
ville was destined to become the largest city
ia the up country, be bad no jealousies to* '
wards her, but thought the interest of the road j
and country would be subserved by ite taking ,
the route he bad Indicated.- The eommittee '
adjourned to meet again on next Monday week,
when a large attendance of cUiteos is expected.

Qbbbxtilmc, 8. O.. May lath, 1870. J*

meeting " aa to the heat and moat effectual e|
meane of railing the neceaeery aid required "
from line City and County to tenure the '*

through thia State, and eipecially by thie ^

consideration as their liwiteJ time, and f
their other engagements would permit; and "
that, whilst they submit herewith a scheme
fur the accomplishment of the desired ro I1
suit, ihsy must confess, that the paramount '
importance oL the enterprise, lis influence 1
upon the future dealiny and prosperity of 1
this City and County, and the great impor 11
lance of suggesting a scheme at the begin- 0
ning, which has in it the.merit and wisdom 0
to work out the deeirsd rsault, induces f1
them to appeel to the Committee and aak
tlisua to make any other suggestions that
may present themselves ss being wiser or 0
more practical, looking to the accomplish- "
ment of lbs same desired result.
In the opinion of yoor Committee, no F
enterpise hat ever been agitated in this ?
community since ite earliest settlement, of
so much importance; certainly none which 1
holds the destiny of both City and County '
so completely within Its power and ooutrol. *
If its location should be diverted to other '
localities, in consequence of the failure of "
our people to give promptly such material 8
aid as will insure its location by this City,
and where the people in other localities are 0
exceedingly anxious to secure it, and who "J
promise the material aid required, and are
only waiting for the first intimation of our a
failure, to step forward sad secure it; then 1
all our pride and boast of our beautilul \
Mountain City, built up and supported es it 11
baa been, in a great dsgrse. by admirers
attracted to it by its climate, its scenery v
and its socictj, will vanhh away as a vapor. *
and we will be left to see other plaoes more c
fortunate and wise, built up and take their "
placea upon the line of the contemplated J'
| new-road, with perhaps other connseling
roads oooverging thereto, which will grow
into great ci|ies, whilst ours tonal contioue
to dcoline in population, wealth, business "
and other attractiora.
On the other hand, If we act promptly,
and render such aid as we are aide to do, (
then tlieie can be no doubt of the location .
of the Roed by this City and its early c<>m !*
pi.lion. Its influence upon the material |h
prosperity of the City and County, in the go
opinion of your Committee, cannot be M
measured by language, or imagined by the an
most sanguine. Your City, from its present is
nnntilftlittn will pani/llw t.. ? ? ?
r ~ | luviciov 111 U UUJ-? on
bera, and aoon take ila place among the <ir
larger inland citiea of the country. Your dr
water power* will be occupied by capital- Ni
ista and artiaane. Your farma will be aub w<
divided into smaller oner, and cultivated in
the higheel style of the art. Y?ur country
will be densely populated by thrifty and R
industrious citizens who will be attracted
to this country by its climate, i's water w
power, its minerals and its wonderful re
sources. Citizens will coma hers with m
money and with muscle, and bring their *'
families with them aa " actual settlers," to *'
link their destinies witli u? in this countiy. I'
They come to improve their fortune* and
to aid you in making the country a hotter C1
one for them and for you ; to help you to 1'
make the government a better one for ail N
with each year, and loaidyouin improv- 1*
ing and perfecting your ay*tem of education E
With tliia at.a'e of thing*, other railroad
connections will he liuilt aa necessity may C
require, prompted from time to time, by
the common prosperity of the country. Y
The information in possession of your
Committee, convince them '.hat the AirLine.
Railroad will be liuilt. A contract
with responsible' parties ha* been entered
into with all the details arranged for that
purpose?the only contingency being the g
contribution of a small portion of the at
money neceesary to build it by the people
along the line, and its location will be determined,
in a great d-gree, by the contri
btition or aid given by the differ nt locali- e
ties. 2}
Your Committee ate of opinion, that it is J
reasonable to expect from the City and |r
Cou.ity of Greenville, in consideration of
the foregoing facts, the sum of two hundred l,(
and fifty thousand dollars; and they re- ?'
apeclfully recommend the following solteme. w
as in their judgment, the beat and m?st "
practicable one for raiting that sum, to wit:
The County of Greenville to subscribe '
$200,000 to the Capital Stock of the Com
pany, and issue their bonds for same amount
The City of Greenville to subscribe $50,000.
and also to ifete their bonds for same eB
amount?both to carry interest st the rate m
of eight per cent, per annum, and to run
for a series of yeais, say to mature in 12,
1ft, 20 and 24 year* The interest or coupons
upon tliern to be receivable for City ??
and County taxes. The stock record by ^
both the City and C >unly in the Railroad )?
company lor the above subscription, to be
held by a trustee as security for the bond- m)
holders, and pledged for the redemption of fln
the boi.d* At maturity. Three subscription*
to be made solely on condition that the _fl
Road be located throngh the corporate ,,
limits of the City of Greentllle. v,
The proportion of City and Com ty sub n<
script ion appears to your Committee to he er
abetit just nnd proportionate, talcing into pe
consideration the supeii >r adren ag-s
the City may hope to gain by its location.
The assessed voluo of real and personal
property for taxable purposes, in both City
and County, is $5,024,000, of which about * '
$950,000 is owned within the oorporale
limits of the City. In the scheme propose i, '.?
the oitizens of the City will be aeaeeesd a.id ^
required to pay their proportionate ehere? ,hl
being about one-fifth of the interest upon q/
the County aubecriplion of $200,000.? th
besides, tliey will have to pay the who ' I V
amount of the intercaton the City eubeoriptioo
of $50,000 in addition.
To d?TlM *ome sohem? by which the money
can be realised front the sale of tbeae bonds,
has been to your committee the most difficult P'
question. To negotiate them in New York is **
considered hardly practicable ; whilst in the
West it is the common and constant practice
to issue county and city bonds as eubsorip- . ,
tiona to railroads, and they are readily negos
tiated to capitalists in their principal oitiee, aT
and even in Wall Street, New York, and nre m
considered as good securities commanding f6
good rate* ; still in tha South it is a new thing ?'
and ao experiment. The country and its "J
resources ars comparatively unknown, and the a
bonds as a security abroad would lack that
confidence in them, and of the ability and
good intention of the parU^to pay tbem and sit
[in mwrnat upon mem which ie in
indispensable to their siMBafui end satisfao- mi
tory negotiation. Then we muet rely upon
our people at home. The interest wbieh must
naturally be felt in the enterprise by our own m'
people, and the knowledge of the resources of
the country, and the ability and good ioten- #<1
tion to .pdjpffijjj^^nda at maturity and the P*
interaeMm JtAKures, should stimulate all (IV
will. to do so to take as many ol
lie hqfl^H^^Ry may feel able to do. Ia ""
place orftrowWIoing to the capital stock of the P'*
Company, and taking the stock ia their own
tames, thsy should subscribe for and take en ,
sqnal amount of the county and oity bonds.? p.
The terms of the contract, as yonr eommittee R
indereUad it, ie that Ike subscription Is pay* _
ible in two years in equal quarterly payments; hen

It is somewhat unfortunate for ne, in (his
articular, that the contemplated line eross
s our County at its narrowest part. If, on
he contrary, it passed uorth and south
hrough the County, it would traverse a
ituch laiger portion of it, aod pass near
cany mors of onr citiscns, and perhaps
tsny mors of the more wealthy cUse,
light feel disposed to invest route liberally

:? * - j_ _i_ ?
iopv?eu vu uu. nu( your UJnilDIIW6 tri
f opinion, that all portions of the County
rill almost alike feel its beneficial effects:
s one portion of the County and City
roepers. all other portions must feel knd
xperience its effect*. Your Committee
sve made some rough estimate of the ad'
rantages, that those living along the con.
emplated line, must derive, daring its contruction,
from material which othsrwirc
vould be entirely valueless to them : sueh
is standing Umber, stone, Ao, and ar?
atisfisd that it cannot fall short of $35,000.
Your Committee would recommend coiperation
and conference with other looallies
along the line, and especially in the
lirection of Charlotte. This conference
nd co-operation, it is hoped, would eonrihute
towards harmony of action beween
the sections and promote the general
nterests we all have in view.
The time has passed hy when people,
rith any pretentions to intelligence, thrift
nd enterprise, are content to live in any
ountry where they have not quick commu
ication with the balance of the world, by
oih railroad and telegraph lines, and the
est and ooly means of preventiug our
tost worthy and enterprising young men
om leaving the country and going to
here these advantages exist, is to provide
lem, as far as we ean at home, by cootributg
of our means and time as we can, to
ieir development.
When the Air Line Railroad Is completed,
will be the shortest and most direot line
tween New York and New Orleans, and the
orteat air-line that can ever be constructed
utb of the Allegbaniee. Greenville will be
near New York as Columbia or Charleston,
d thirty miles nearer Atlanta than Augusta
; the line will be shortened over the present
e by the way of Columbia at least one huned
and twenty miles, which will naturally
aw upon it all thd through travel between
sw York and Ntfw Orleans, and points Souths

shakers. What are they doing to expedite
their return to a medium temperature 1
' ?to break tho ehi'la and banish the fever t
Are they dosing themselves with quinine,

. BITTERS as a harmless and certain specific
for fever and ague is understood and appre,
eiated in all parts of the country where inter!
mi it ten t? prevail. The residents of suob localities
begin to take it early in the spring as a
protection against the miasma by which they
are auironnded ; not all of them, perhaps, for
a blind adbarencc to error is the specialty of
' some people, but the greater ntitrber.
ai iuiis is mi/ u?vu iici in ia>rsp?uiici, It
is this : that tho Bittsrs are a far better safegrard
against all the varieties of period io maladies
produced by unwholesome exhalations
than any drug or compound in the materia
medioa of the profession. Ibis assertion is
made with all due respect to the faculty, but
being an important truth, and one that nearly
eonoernt the health of large settlements in various
parts of the country, sua indeed of iue
public at large, it is made fearlessly. Pounded
on ample and unimpeachable testimony, it
defies disproval.
To break up chills and fevers, as well as ot
prevent them, there is nothing so reliable as
this wholesome vegetable restorative.
