OUNTLEScEN:-The Executive Com- i mittes of the Bible Convention. address- ' ed a circular under-date of 1st May last, b tothe several Bible Societies of out State, refering to the journals ofihe Conventionb of December last, (packages of wItich were sent to eub Society.) and requesting their adoption or rosecution of the mnensures recommende in the Resolutions of that d Wody .b& year being now far advanced. the Cotmmittee beg leave to remind the several Societies, that the day fixed by the sixth resolution for the next meeting of 'he Bible Convention, is Tuesday the 2Sth day of Neembier next, and in reference to that meotiug, respectfully ask their attention o the Mwing tuatters, viz: First. That in order to enable the Ex ecuoive Committee to submit a Report of the operations of the year, each Society wil favour the Chairman, in confurrnmoy with the 7th Resolution, with a few litnes, giving their proceettligs anl distributions during that period; and the Committee will be gratified, if these cemnuucatous4 should be received before, or by the Ibt day - of November. Seo&r0uy. That each Society appoint Delegates to attend the Convention to be 4 held at the time above stated, at Columbia; and TMirdly. That the Societies which U have not contributed during the present 1 year, to the expenses incurred by the Ex ecutive Committee, will do so a.. early as practicable. The idea having been relin qawsbed of sending an agent to travel through the State, in promotion of the generol object, the sum necessary as much less than the estimate menoiuned in q the circular of 1st bay last, and if the c contributions be general, the sum or from eight to ten dollars from each Society, would make up the amount that will be required.c To avoid the expense of addresing copies by mail, the Committee adopt the I public press as the medium of extending this circular, a mode which the kindness of itsconductors permits them to emplo. and which they trust, will prove equally acceptable. We are, with ebristian regard, Your obedient servants, D. RAVENEIL, Chairman, ) W.1 H. BA RNWELL, I E. THOMAS SMYTI. I tire W.1. WIGITMAN, Ci J. B. WIllTRIDG. mte. WM. R1EY, H. W. PERONNEAU. Treas. J from die Biaptut Adewate r Restan Catholic Baptists.-Roman b Catholic Baptists may sound rather par- 1 sdoxical, for Rotian Catholics bind their i votaries to tradition while Baptists point u to the Bible; nerertheles there is a cer- b tain failing witb some of us Bnptists. u which savors very strongly of Roman ti ChatholicismD. Let e give -you an extract from "A il Tremaise on Baptism," by the Roman Ca- b tholic Bishop Kenrick. of Philadelphia, 1 and you will undlerstaud what I mean: h "The Baptist Confession of Faith says : , 'immersion, or dipping the person in wa- b tar, is necesar:v to the due adtninistratioa d of this ordiance.' It a may be doubted ri whether this excludes the validityof other modes or baptizing; but the pre- Ia railing sentiment is adverse to it;t al- s though from the two great divisions of the Il sect ito close commtunion Bap:ists and a open comumunion Baptists, the other opin ion seems not without advocates. rhe close comm~unafion Baptists admit none to the communion table who bave not been -s immnersed ; whilst the opera communion Baptists invite all, wtithoutt regard to the mpanner in which they have been baptized. to come forward and partake of the Lord'6S8Jpper. These Mayi be supposed to adusi te 1uvLidity of ba pta'sm admianisle ,vd in any~ way, since they cannot be r' thought to weite unhapti:cd persons to the a otstreramentt." . What is it keeps the Baptists together as' a denomination ? It is their adhering to< the ordinances as set forth ii the BlSa.::; I and not in administering them 'IN A~N war." But do the so called upon comn nmaionists' "admit the vali'lity of baptism in any way?" Certainly not ! Then why do they invite all to come : o the Laid's table ? We would answer.r l'or the informationi of Bishop Kennek:e BiecausS their brotherly alectior. is so yreax for othier Christian denominations that the cannot refuse them. Just like n kind indultgent father. who gives some thing injuiu to his child bccause le c cries ror it. Though there ore some of us Bap'ists, I who beta weakness before principle. I through betag clothed with mortality, yet si we trust the bishop will observe that the yroportion ofsuch is very small, and not r possessing the proponderante, as be would a seem to infer.. Brother Baptist how do you view it ? fI Da you think it unimportnt ? Do yout think that Zion is eventually benefited a bymenerahl invitation to the communionb tableT is not Bishop Kenrick's conclu aion a 'ust one ? May not the whole com-n. iniydraw the very same conclusion. s ..tsgidesy teay7't Shall we thtus be regsting glory on that Gigurative, ex- V girelyBgoatieordinance of our Re dcc- : Why has the Roman Catholic Church become so fallen and superstitious ?

We un- n -hesitatingly say, '-Jafant Baptism.." .Tic true other respected Cristian de- b nominoatiotns have had thte temercity to a sttd in this dangerous pathi of tradition, a bat is that any reason that Baiptaiss should n encour&ageit when our Paedo-baptist bre- r< dus do-ae ertainly, though per ha ps utn wiHlagly, bid Godspeed to the progress of el jf we imitate the Roman Catholics in a oss thig how catn we expect to convinee n Mensthey are wrong io other .thing, or be wit what spirt could we p'ray for theis i Itaav appear a trifling matter ; so) does * . it. menn b-.at look at the tall, wide n preadig. stury ank ; look at tme geni ream whiel twells iuto the nighty river Despise not the day of small things, ither of righteousness or error.

Read the concluding remarks of th ishop again and ask yourself if yo ould like that doctrine disseminated a elonging to Christian Baptists. And may God give us grace to glorif im in his ordinaces.

Since our notice, a brass r biason was found about five feet below i the surfuce, and a bowl of common Indian . Earthen Ware, in which it was placed r Also, a huge Iron Spur of rough workmsu ship, the rowels of which, from opposite J points, although somewhat shortened by - the rust measured nearly three inches r Such spurs according to our conception. . must have been intended more for orua e ment, than use, as they would create very - eneasy sensatious, and dangerous evolu e tiois to the rider. if applied to the sides of s tle hig'h iettled steeds of the present i time. These things may create specula I tions in the minds of many as to their i origiothe date and manner in which they . were deposited. But one was revealed r fro.n the bosom of the earth last week, A bach we think will puzzle the most bold 1and ingenious speculation on antiquities. At thirty-four feet below the surface of the , rarth. the trunk of a tree, believed to be rI the wilI Poplar. or Tulip tree, about a Toot in diameter, was discovered. extend ing entirely across the track. It was comt - piietely incrusted with a coating of coarse rock. f.oi one to two inches in thickness. -[Tle wood mostly had the appearance of y being charred, or couverted into coal, was quite black and very heavy. Some pieces of pine bark were found perfectly sound, e and bearing distinct marks of the axe. Alan, a large chip of Poplar was found, s bearing distinct evidence of the edge of the it axe nith whichit wascut. The end of'he It log also showed that it had been cut down by an axe. 'he place where they were deposited, n is a level plain about 200) yards wide, with 1 the ground some fifty feet lower on each [ side. which nould seen to forbid the idea, that they had been gradually covered by o an accumulation ott the surface of the carah. But we %%ill merely state the facts, Sand leave i! to others to explain the why v and wherefure, how they came into their e present situations.-Macon .Messenger. e .-Anecdole of John Randolph.-An I rish n man, in the N.

After waiting untill about mair past teal o'clock the drums sounded the sig ial f'r the troops to nuster previous to their narching into Regiment, which was attended o with unusual precision by the men, who iappeared anxious to get through with the toils >f the day. The Regiment was formed about ilf past eleven o'clock, by its Adjutant, who ilihough young in the field, appeased to have ii extraordinary degree of qilickness in his ac ins, whilst forming tie companies into line, and whon, I think, will, n ith a little more prac. ice. nake an effi':ient officer.

Weather.-Ycsterday was delightful, and it was the first day or the last month that desreves the praise. A fresh air, with a touch of the North and a sprinkling of the silt sea, tud a bright sun. Septem. ber has been so excessive wet, it has left a legacy of caterpillars which are as bad as the rains, and how much of the cotton they may, in their discretion, see it to leave for the planters, is at present, rather dubious.- Charleston Mercury. Spurious Coins.---We were shown yes terdoy a couuterfeit purporting to be a .lxican dollar-we presume of the same spurious issue exposed some time since in New Orleans. It is light in weight and somewhat more dead in color than the true coin and is probably worth about 50 cents to the dollar. The counterfcit is admirably executed and might easily pass undetected even by busineso men. The date of the coin shown, us was 1832, and its ap'pearancee almosi new.-Ibid.
