Miscellaneous. t
To the Editor of the Edgefield Advertiser, i
Sir: In a lato number of your paper, I 'c
read with surprize the following article ta- t
ken from the Alabama press:? ' a
"Rebukeof the Abolitionists.?The Baptist
Churches at Fellowship, in Wilcox, {
and Carlowville in Dallas, have withdrawn' j,
from all connexion or intercourse with' r
the American Baptist Missionary Society,'^
on account of the circulation of abolition js
papers by that body. The resolutions of 11]
the Churches are justly severe upon the (
fanatical wretches,* who would deluge our /
country in blood, to accomplish their mad J,
schemes." a
The writer of the above has fallen into
i mistake which I ask leave to correct by
he following quotation from the procccdngsof
one of those Churches (which arc
n substance the proceedings of both) as
published in the Recorder and Watchman, f1.
"A meeting of members of the Fellow- "
;hip Baptist church, Wilcox county, Ala. 1}
ogcthcr with a number of the brethren ^
rom neighboring churches and some gen- Sl
lemen of the vicinity, was, this day, held j ^
it the Fellowship Church, to take into!a
:onsideration "An Address to Southern |n
3ftpliiis" issued by the "American Bap-; c4:
ist Anti-Slavery Convention," holding its |:
cssion in New York. Anril. 1840. ls
"The address above alluded to, \vas!cl
cad, and a number of speeches delivered, j
xpressing our sincere disapprobation of i11
lie sentiments contained therein. After ai
which, Elder Jesse Hartwell introduced 0
,nd advocated the following
Preamble and Resolution: n
" Whereas a certain paper called " The a!
christian Reflector Extra," has been for- 11
vardcd to many among us, as Pastors ot
:lmrclics?which paper contains scntiucnts
abhorrent to our views, ami certain
hreats against us us holders of slaves?
Yo tool that it is our duty to express oui
iews on this subject. We think ourselves;
ompelled the rather to speak because
he President of the Convention, issuing
aid "Address," is one of the Vice Prcsients
of the American Baptist Board of
orcign Missions. The sentiments conaincd
in said "Address" are such as to
resent insuperable obstacles to further;
o-operation in the foreign missionary doartmciit.
"Resolved, 2d. That \vc recommend to
ur brethren of the South to adopt meaures
for opening a channel by which our
i r..i i c , i i *
neenui uenciacuons may De carried 10
ic perishing heatlicn, that they may rceive
the word of life."
It appears from these proceedings, that
nc of the Vice Presidents of the Baptist
hard of Foreign Missions (not of the
Imcrican Baptist Missionary Society) did
reside in the meeting of the American
baptist Anti-slavcrv Convention and did
ign the address to the Southern Baptists,
be views and threats of which constitute J
be only allcdged ground of the withdraw-;
nent of these Churches from further co- j
operation in the Foreign Missionary Dc-,
lartment. It is true the ltev. Elon Galuha,
a Vice President of the Baptist Forign
Board of Foreign Missions did do as
bovc stated. But lie did not so act as
ice Jr resident of the Board of Missions:
^bout the ,time|of the? meeting of that AntiSlavery
Convention in New York, the
Joard of Missions was in session there
Iso. Yet, as to any thing, that I have
een or heard, Elon Galusha was the only
ncmbcr of that Board, found in that Concntion.
It was my honor and privilege to be a
ncmbcr of the Baptist Convention in
814, which organized the Baptist Tricnial
Missonary Convention for the United
States, and to be a member also of the
Joard for the transaction of its business,
^nd I have the honor yet to belong to both
hese Bodies. With the proceedings of
hese Bodies, I have been intimately ac[uaintcd
throughout the whole period of
heir existence. And I now afhrm, that
leithcr the Convention, nor the Board has
t any time written, printed, circulated or
;ivcn countenance to, any Abolition pubicalions
whatever.
I trust, therefore, Mr. Editor, that the
naccuracy of the article copied into your
taper from the Alabama Press, is made
vident and the Rnntist Board of Foreign
Missions is relieved of the odious and unust
charge of circulating Abolition papers.

Edgefield C. II S. C. Sept. 1840.
The following preamble and resolutions were odop;d
by the Edgefield Baptist Association, at their
ite session. Wc will publish thoir letter to corresonding
Associations in our next.
Whereas a Body of Northern Bapists,
forming the American Baptist Anti>lavery
Convention, in the city of New
fork in April last, did issue an Address,
igned by Rev. Elon Galusha, President
?f the meeting, who is one of the Vice
'residents of the Baptist Board of Forign
Missions, warning the Southern Bapists
of the sin of holding slaves, and of
he duty of emancipating them, and threacning
their brethren at (he South with
xclusion from their communion tables and
heir pulpits, if they should not take the
.UlIlUUll IUII illlK an IIIU11 ^ld>U ULL,
Resolved, That our Delegates to the
Japtist General Missionary Convention be
nstructed to obtain from that Body at its
icxt meeting, an expression of its approlation
or disapprobation of the views and
cntiracnts contained in that Address. To
lie end, that if that Body shall approve of
he views and threats contained in that
Lddress, the Southern Baptists may take
icasurcs for forming a separate Missicna
ry Body.

Beautiful Extract.?The scenery
mid which we are born and brought up,
we remain long enough therein to have
asscd that early period of existence on
-hich memory seems to have no hold,
nks, as it were, into the spirit of man;
vines itself intimately with every thought,
nd becomes a part of his being. He can
ever cast it oil*, any more than he can
ast off the body in which the spirit acts.
Imost every chain of his after thoughts
Jinked at some point to the magical
rclc which bounds his youth's ideas; and
rcn when latent, and in no degree known
is still present, afiocting even' feeling
id every fancy, and giving a bent of its
wn to all out words and our deeds;
? i i r J i
l have ncarci a story or a nine giri
'ho was a captive to some Eastern prince,
ntl wore upon her ancles a light golden
ng. .She learned to love her toaster'
k
| IcvotodJy, and was as Jiappv as she cou'd
[be in his love. Adored, adorned, and
j cherished, she sat beside him one day ill
[ ill the pomp of Kastcrn state, when sudlcnlv
her eyes fell upon the golden ring
round her ancle which custom had ren- '
dercd so light that she had forgotten i!
altogether. The tears instantly ro& in
her cv2s as she looked upon jt, and her
lover divining at once the cause, asked,
with a look of reproach, " Would you be
five?" She cast herself upon his bosom and
answerd," Never!"
Thus, often the links that bind us to ear
ly scenes and places, in which we have
passed happy or unliappy hours, are unobserved
ana forgotton, till some casual
circumstance turns our eyes thitherwardBut
if any one should ask us whether wowould
sever that chain, there is scarcely
one fine mind that would not also answer*
" Never! The passing of our days may
be checkered with grief and caret unkindness
and frowns may wither the
smiles of boyhood, and tears bedew the
path of youth; yet, nevertheless, when we>
stand and look back, in later life, letting;
Memory hover over the past, prepared
to light where she will, there is no period
in a?l the space laid out before her over
I which her wings flutter so joyfully, or on
I which she would so much wish to pause,
as the limes o? our youth. The evils of /
i other days are forgotten; the scenes in
! which these days past arc remembered, detached
from the sorrows that checkered, ,
them, and the bright misty light of life's
| first sunrise still gildes the whole with a
.glory not its own. It is not alone, however,
after long years have passed away,
and crushed out the gall from sorrows endured,
that fine and enchanting feelings
I are awakened by the scenes in which our
I early days have gone by, and that the
thrill of associations it felt in all its joyfulncss,
acting as an antidote to poisonous '1
sorrows which often mingle with our cup.

The Biter Bit.?A good story is told of
' a chap in North Carolina, who went the
1 entire figure in the way of marrying all the
I girls who would have him, without waiti
ing for any of them to die off, as the law
directs. After having married the thir:
teenth, some of his first loves came down
upon him and had him placed safely In
jail. But a person so fond of perfect lib&ri
ty and who could get out of hymen's noose
I with such case, found little difficulty in
getting out ot the " jug," and the next new#
; of him he was running at large with a
heavy reward offered for his apprehension*
He was shortly recognised by a gentfe- *
1 man, who, anxious to get the rewftrd> ?
I vitcd him to his house, desired him to sit
'down, called his wife to chat with him a9
; an inducement to detain him there, while
he made some excuse for leaving a few
! minutes, and started for a constable to ar|
rest the runaway. What was the poor
j man's astonishment on returning with the
constable, to find that the Lothario, taking
advantage of his short absence, had absconded
with his wife. This makes the
i fellow's stock of wives now on hand fourteen.
Where's Daddy ??a six foot1 Yahoo
who had his logs at least pine inches too
far through his breeches, with a loaf of',
gingerbread stuck under his arm, and as
much in his fist?one end of which he had
i just drawn from between his jaws, leaving
his mouth filled, was met by a gentk>
man in Natchez in the middle of the street,
of whom he inquired in a whining tone.
" Have you seen any thing of Daddy?"'
?" No!" replied the gentleman. " Well*
darnation seize daddy, I told him he'd*
lose me?" said our hero crying as he proceeded,
half bent sticking the gingerbread
into his coun'TPnee at an alarming rate..
