If by immersion, show how " into means under t" My renson in asking the use of your columns for my reply is, because tho?.> immediately concerned are rubscribere to your paper. I write ;n no unkind spirit, but only design to vindicate what I conceive to be divine truth. I request those who differ from me, calmly to consider my arguments before they endeavor to search for others to prove the contrary. So much has been said nnd wiMtt.sn ?!./> I ject, that it would be presumptuous to claim originrlity for my thoughts. My opinions are based upon the Scriptures, but have been confirmed by various arguments used by others, and,drown from a variety of sources. Having made these preliminary remarks, I proceed to thejjoi.eideration of the Queries. As the discussion of the second Query seerne to involve the let, 3rd, 4th, and 5lh, I shall examine that first. 1st. John's baptism was Christian baptism.? I shall sustain thU proposition by the following considerations: 1. Thebdptium of John wa? instituted by Christ Christ has from the beginning reigned in the Kingdom of Grace, and he has been the author or ord.'iner oJ" nil institutions an<l ordinances given to liis people from tho days of Adam to ! the present time. John alsso spends of the Savior as he that ecut me to baptize." John 1: "3* ^ 2. 'The Scriptnrcs proves John* baptism to be a Christian baptism. Mark say* 1:1. John was baptizing in the Wilderness " in the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Mr. Barnes n pedo-Baptift, eaysiti hia note?, that this v-erse refers "to the preaching of John, an account of which immediately follows." Now shall we say Mint the beginning of the Gospel is no part ,.f i n? v/i uic vrwpui i is me ueginmng of n doy no j p.irt of the day f Wlten the ^Scripturcs tny? ! " nil these ere the beginning of sorrow," does it nieau thufc the calamities epoken of ore not sorrowful! Was this beginning of miracless" [John 2: 11.) no miracle? Murk, in the fir-?t vereo goes back to give the very beginning of [his new dispensation, or religion, and (lit: tvurus mis is may justly be understood at tlie Ijeginning of tlio verse. Aficr this he goes on o sneak of John's preaching, ami baptism. If 1 lis baptism therefore did not bulong to the ui.-w | dispensation, that dispensation had no begin- ( nc, for if you CUt ofF John's bnnt.iem vnn i )1T wlmt Murk styles the beginning of the Gospel. But there ure other proofs of thus. The ' Jnvior eiiiJ : Mntthew 11,12, 13, "Ami from he days of John the Baptist until now, the Cingdoin of Heaven sufifere'.h violence, find ije violent take it by force." Hero " from the layc," means from the beginning of John's reaching. Then his baptism was after the be ui wie ivingoom ot Heaven, or under | lmt dispensation. Luke 1$: 18. "Tho law ^ md tho prophets were -until John, since that iwe tl?e Kingdom of God is preached, ami ev- 1 iry mun presseth into it." Surely no other con- ' I ruction ?ai be put upon this, thnu that as f oon fis Jobs began t? prtaeli, the Kingdom of < ileayen was preached. s j That John's baptism was not Christian Ban .ism 1b nowhere taught in the Scriptures. It 3 a doctrine the commandments of'men; and ( o say that it is taught is adding to the Word ! >f God. And to say that it does not tench the ( pposite is Ulcin^fijim the Word of God.? j iVe are responsible to God for onr belief, and ( t is dangerous to believe that to be the teach- g ng of God, which bat no authority In Jtis ? fford. 1 13ut admitting that John's baptiem ?m riot * Christian what could pedo-Baptista gain by it! c Surely nothing in respect to the baptismal conrOVerey.

Edward Bacon, Esq., from the fads obtained through his grandson James, camo to South Carolina in 1809, and must, very soon afterwards, have cjuno to Edgefield Court House, and there settled as ^lawyer. I first saw Mr. Bacon at Edgefield fSpreug term, 1825, Judge Martin who studied law with him at Edgefield, and whom ho assisted in his education at Litchfield, was thjn hispartner, and th^y had a large and lucrative practice. Mr. Bacon married Eliea Fov, at Au gusia, Georgia, 29th January, 1799. This amiable and intelligent lady still survives, adorning old ngc by her happy and ohcerful dis position, wieli is r blessing^to all around licr. IIo left at his death four cliil dren, John, Edmund, Sarah, (or now Mrs. Wigfall,) and Thomas remain. My friend, Mr. Laborde, a Professor in the South Carolina f\?llnnr<> cnvc ''Hnlii'D/in f?-??J"1 "v""-v" the years 1822 aud 1825,1 was a law-student, in the oflice of Messrs. Simkius & MuDuffic; and Mr. Bacon being there, in tlie practice of his profession, it was my fortune to witness llio happiest efforts which he made during this perod, at the Bar of Edgefield. It is not for mo to speak of the amount of his legal learning?to compare ?i.:~ ? ? ?;.i. -*? * * I in turn i?|icci wuu ouiers ; uiu i am not afraid to declare, that his language was chaste and elegant, and his elocution of a very high order. His natural endowments were extraordinary. Ilis person was commanding, his face and head uncommonly fine, his voice chorded musical, and of wonderful power, if is style of speaking was highly fir.slied, and I think I am. justified in saying that, as a model of graceful and eloquent elocution, tlie Edgcf ild liar cannot present another entitled to eonel praii?e. Let it not be supposed, however, that his merit was that of the mere rhetorician ; that he lind applause because of this avtintie skill, which was exhibited, and exerted none of that higher influence, which appeals to the heart aud commands the affections. When the occasion demanded it, no one exhibited a livelier sensiliiliiv a dot-per feeling, or was more apt to awaken i a sympathetic emotion iri tlio bosoms of others. "I remember when quite a boy, that I was nnich moved by a speech from him, in behalf of a man who was on trial for bis life. His whole soul seemed melted by compassion?thetear9 were flowing freely down his face, and he urged the acquittal of the unfortunate man, with a natural earnestness and eloquence which touched every heart. lliH appeals to the sympathies of tho Jury, were those of a man who was pleading for his o\vn life; and when, after: sketching ! most touchingly, the picture of human pas- ! sion and infirmity, tho sad heritage of man lie called upon every member of the Jury 1 to adont for himself Mia nonilinant *' - - w vwuvilllVUt VI lilO Universal Praj'er.

Years before this, the extraordinary wit mid humor of Mr. Bacon nlonof the circuit of llic Georgia Bar, had given birth, under, the magic pen of the wellknown Juilgc Longstrect, (now the able and beloved President of South Burolitm College,) in the fatuous "Gcorg-u Sccncs" to the creation of a character rejoicing in the sobriquet of "Ned Brace," liio original cf which concoplion found 110 equal save in the uniqueness of its action.

Tlio philosophy of increase of l.it in animals is, lliat the digo&ted food not needed jc to supply waste in the system, is laid up in the form of fat around the muscles, ready to j bo absorbed again into the circulation if needed. Waste i9 induced bv exercise, or ,, use of the muscles, and also by combustion in tlio lun?s, of the digested food, to supply animal heat, llence, the same amour. 1 ui rocKi given in warm weather w"t', if 8 digested, afford a greater surplus of fat than wlien fed in cold weather. Hogs or ^ other nniinals intended for fattep:ng should f be shut up this month, (September.) Many i nuvw-Hiu malting mo size ol ttie fattening | pen so small that the animal will have but 1 just room to stand or lie. While confine- 1 n.ent. favors rest and a disposition to fatten,too close quarters are not healthful for r the animal, which needs moderate exercise ' lo promote digestion. The quality of the 3esh produced must bo somewhat impaired { hy any confinement that interferes with the ^ health. Tho appetite may be kept up l?y change of food, of frequent supply of green v egetables, such as corn, cabbage-leaves, pea-vines, and tho refuse of the g-irden. 1 Cooked food digests much more easily than c raw, and is in a condition to yield more nourishment, and is also better relished by^ .> most kinds of stock.
