In I858 the increasing congregation ot colored persons thadc it necessary to enlarge their accommodations, and side galleries were built ; at the same time more comfortable . seals on the lower floor were provided with a new pulpit and the church plastered throughout. It would be proper, and it affords me the highest pleasure to state that no branch of the christian church looked more jealously after the spiritual inter ists ot the colored people than these good old Baptists. They certainly came up tully to the requirements of their sacred obligation In this connection, and the good emanating from this source is apparent to day in their lives and iii the lives of their descendants. I have been impressed by this tact in selecting ten ants for my plantation, and wh?n one applies tor a larm and the fact is de veloped that he is in thc line ot this gootl old descent, 1 have no hesitancy, tn contracting with him. A very largel per cent ot my tenants aro colored Bap-v tisfs, and I have yet to find one with a leprous spot. . 1. have given/ them a bpiise pf worship and scbpol(h$ise, and tho Pastor, is ono of my ttyi?ijts,?arid.you L<;o?d4:'noi 'b/'d 'a'.hvn-;; f?u?r?Y Vh.rt majV: willi1 . U .. higher .'?^n?tf??'V-^'bnce'?n 6\ii\ county: I have tried : him aha t.knovv where ol I speak. I woiijdAlike very much if time permitted to givd briefly a sketch of an adiircs? delivercq by me alter the war on the subject ot the pro gnathous race, his origin, his ethnolo gical peculiarities and his destiny-sui lice it to say, that I believe that thqre. is a supreme power controlling and directing mundane aflairs, in wisdom, justice and mercey, and that the presence ot the negro in our midst was for a higher purpose than mercenary con siderations, and carried with it a grave responsibility,. The responsibility ol lopping off his savage instincts incon sideration bf involuntary servitude and fitting him by Christian civilization to be used in the economy of God's provi dence as a grand missionary force to be returacd to his native country a sealed book to missionary enterprise on the part ol the white man, by reason of its inhospitality of climate, and thus carry to bis brcthtcn in that benighted section the glad news of salvation. ' In reviewing tire course of the Baptists Churches in this connection and with the view of determining it the proposi tions advanced by mc were finding ex presions in the experience of the colored people, it is with congratulation and without disparagement to.' the other branches of God's church, which , at a f?roper time I shall ventilate along this ine, 1 state that they can be no longer regurded as idle speculations, but wear to day thc encouraging appendage to a verified problem "Quod est demon strandum, " It is the intention ot thc writer at a convenient season to collate and publish all the facts in this relation to clear our churches from the unwarranted and wicked imputation that the coloredspeo fileftamong us were without religious nstrtiction. There is no doubt but that the abuse ot the trust by the white man antedated his emancipation by many years, and filled our country with sorrow, but I am proud to say that none ot this evil can be lett at the door of our churches, They discharged their duty nobly, manfully and in such a spirit ot Christ-like self abnegation as must in spire in the hearts of thc colored peo ple a sentiment of beautiful and fervent pratitudc tor ail time i have no appre hension for the safety ot our country as long as the fundamental laws ot crea tion are kept inviolate, and the doors of God's temples rust not on their hinges. To return,in 1860 the Lord graciously visited and watered his garden afresh. Elder Burn officiated, being with us for the purpose, and preached the word with unusual solemnity, and power, and many felt that salvation, had come to this- house, Twenty soven rejoicing souls followed Christ m baptism, Two of this number . were afterwards in ducted into thc deaconship, viz : Broths ren Dudley and Liles, The first ol these is the lamented Col. C. W. Dudley, a man who was thoroughly, identified .'with, the people ol Marlboro .for.perhaps halt a century, Unon . whose ; accents his fellow citizens' delighted to hang and always with eager and rapturous atten* tion. A desirous debater, a ripe scholar, a safe counsellor well versed in the Itolitlcs ot our country and deeply read n the histry ol others, Aboye all thoroughly imbued with the idiom of tho English language, a ?omulcto matt ie* ot lw strength beauty and delicacy, I and capable ^ occasion required pf j breathing thoughts of flamb In words 'ri :.;.': . ?. .? .'

Kqually with another may it he said bf him, not ail the marbles of carrara, lashloned by ' thc sculptors chisel info the mimicry ot breathing lite could ^convey to (he sepses a likeness so perfect of himself as that which he has left upon the minds pf n>en, He carved his own statue ; he btillt his own monument. In youth he la; tl the base broad as his wMc Coun trj j that it might wellsurtaln the mighty structure he natl designed rcquietcat at pace. Col.
