It is fact that induces sober reflection, that

Of early boyhood, and of more mature, yet
Youthful years, arc still before faithful memory
have not seen, it is true, great deal of the
world, but know something OF the realities OF
life. and have weighed with profound interest,
those influences that were brought to bear upon
myself in forming my own character; and !
have also made extensive observations in regard
to others.
Many are the dangers which environ youth
and these dangers have thickencd since my youth
ful days. Public attention has been vigorously
turned to some of the more palpable Of these
dangers; but there still remain others, compara-
lively unhceded, solely because, they are less
manifest, and not because they are less hurtful.
The evils of intemperance, in the use of in
toxicating liquors, can scarcely be exaggerated
and every proper effort to suppress vice vice Of such
awful magnitude should be hailed with grati-

GEORGIA BAPTIST STATE CoNvEN1IoN-The
report Of the thirty-fst anniversary OF this body
has Just been received, from which we select the
following items: Tie session was held in Column

by Hon. Thomas Stocks as Moderator. The de-
nomination contains 75,540 members, 1913 chur-
es, 674 ordained ministers, and 1872 Ecentatcs.
Considerably more than two thirds Of the men,
bers Of those churches are whites. The number
of associations comprising these churches is So.
The accession by baptism during the past year
amounted to 1923, and the whole nett gain in
membership was $3.50. Distant readers will be
surprised that there are more than twelve hun
dred Baptist Churches, great ard small, in the
State Of Georgia.
The convention owns large amount of funds,
invested for various objects, of which above $780,
900 are in the University funds, about s50,oC0
are in other investments for benevolent purpo-
ses; while there is large amount of real estate
connected with the university, the Hearn School,
Penfeld Female Academy, the Christian Index,
(the organ Of the denominaton,) and also with
other institutions in addition to their money
funds. Besides the revenues from these nstitu.
tons, there have been contributed during the
year over $4,000 for objects of a missionary ma
ture The departments Omissions embrace For
egn, Home, State and Indian Missions; the soci-
cites aided;are the Bible Publication and Tract

gent orphans, and for educating the children of
Baptist Ministers.

CHINESE JUsT1cE.-Several Indians on the
Sacramento road, in state otintoXication, OF late
", killed Chinese One of them was arrested
by Americans, handed over to the Chinese, and
by them hung. The Cinnamon expressed de-
sire to hang the white man who sold the Indi-
all rum. What queer ideas Of justice these Chi
nose have, but it is like everything they do, just
the opposite Of what the "outSde barbarIans"
practice. In China they pay doctor for keep
ing their patients well, and deduct the fee for
every day the patient is i'll. Here doctors are
valued by the quantity Of drugs they administer
medicine being supposed to be antidotc to sick
ness, and the more YOU take the faster you ought
to recover, though the theory and the practical
operation are often widely apart If the Chinese
had hung the white man who sold the rum,
somebody's liberty to get drunk would have
been abridged; aud, liberty restricted, where is
your boosted freedom? The Chinese notions of
justice will not do for the freedom Of trade, and
the vcnders of alcohol, any more than the Chinese
method of employing doctors would do for our
physicians, and their wclIcarncd reputation of
snatchng you from the jaws of death into which
they sometimes push You, to show their skill i'll

Increase, 1850 bales.
The up-freights have been distributed in al
most the same relative proportions amongst the
Hamburg, Columbia and Camden Branches, as
the down freights, and show about the same ra-
ito of increase in freight, passage, and every 9TH
er department, for the last six months, amount
ing in the aggregate to $4,000, over the same
period last year.
We arc also gratfcd to learn that the Board
of Directors at their meeting on Tuesday eve
ninc, with entire unanimity, confirmed all the
arrangements made by the President with the
city of Augusta for crossing the Savannah river.
Thus we may not only congratulate MIR. Conner
on having effected this most important object,
but especially upon his having carried OUT the
measure in 50 wise and cousIderatea a manner, as
to have won for himself and for the S. G. Rail-
road Company, the cordial sympathy and good
will of the City of Augusta.
We should do wrong to our own feelings, as
we'll as to Justice, if we failed to acknowledge the
liberal spirit in which the authorities of that ci-
ty have acted, in completing these interesting
arrangements. They have given to the Railroad
the use of the Bridge free of toll, till the Com
panv can complete their track across the River,
and they exerted themselves zealo'lsly and etee-
tuay to procure an eligible site for their station
for through-treights, quite near the Depot of the
Georgia Railroad, and they have added to the
value of what they have done, by the cordial
manner in which they have done it.
Thus this crossing Of the River which has so
long been controversy and cause of ahcna
ton between the two cities, has now happily be-
come bond of union and motive of good
will. May all questions Of difference that shall
in the course Of time arise between the people
Of the two States be as wisely managed and as
benefcially settled !-Charlcston Mercury.
