Extract of a letter from a gentleman in
Augusta, Georgia, ro t a friend ir\
Treuton, dated July 30, 1810.
“ I have intended to write.an account
of the progress of in this
country. The revival has been chief*
*y with the Baptist and M thod^st so**
cieties. Of th# former I f-ave b 1 .1
circumscr'bed acquaintance, but I «irg
a member myeli of tht latter, I am
knowirg to their great iucrea e. i e
enquiry of “ wnat shall I do to be

was known in this state ar d Car din:*.
I h’'ve been at several meetings whey®
I have seen a noble wo k begun, the

Ii<»s expre'sed ronvrs cn, and by
‘heir conduct since evince it, they

Some o' the vilest of sinners appeal*
O have rUIfnt* d_ nnil tr\ haup i-.tn.ti_
eel to God. At some prcachir.gs Mi©
numbers who have joined us havJ been
trilly great : one meeting there weret
ver.il thousands assembled for four
.(ays, and about onehtmdr d and six
v joined society, at another i.ear fifty,
and at almost ivtry meeting smaller
lumbers. In one circuit, under one
preacher, I believe the number that
was added last year was near a thou
sand. There is secretly a preaching
wh. re Janies Russel addresses them,
'iu some arc awakened; there arc s>
many olhers who have been very sue
ce»sftil also. I never knew or so great
.a alt ration in a corn ry in mv life ;
it may he said of many parts of this
country, that they have emerged from
barbarism to civilization, aati entirely
oy the Liospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ; hoisc*racing and gambling,
which were so highly practised,-bere,
ire now becoming extinct; dancing is
neglected; reading and-the improve
ir^nt of the mind, which were little
at ended to, aTe now resorted to; re*
ligious books wi'ich formerly would
not sell, are now in great demand : a.
county courts litre, it tfifuicrly whs a
constant scene of fight ng, wrangling
and carousing, now theic is the great
est orJer and decorum ;—such have
be*n tho effects of the gosp l of Christ ;
it has shewn itself here to be thr pow
er of God—whicn alone ousht tosharoe
the enemies of Chri.-tiani y. 1 hi*
must be true philosophy, that civilizes
and reforms, that moralize and im
proves; for it has not i topped he e,
. but the flacks have cause to mist

their masters also ; for thiir treatment
has become meliorated by the influ
