good faith, for the purpose of cultvating il

to Jump, harass, annoy, and derive what

to which we allude will be settled by our

BAPTIsMAL Charlottesville sacred rite
of baptism, says the Alta, was administered
to a young man at Steamboat Point, at !
oc ock, Sunday afternoon. The officiating
clergyman was the Rev. Mr. Saxtcn, and the
ceremony was performed by immersion, ac
cording to the canon of the Baptist denomin
alton. The baptistry was one not made by
hands" the bay and sandy beach at the Point
being better adapted to the administering OF
the ceremony than the contracted ac.
commodation Of the churches. The exercises
consisted of singing, prayer, and few elo
quent and appropriate remarks by the off
ciating minister. At the conclusion of these
the clergyman, leading the candidate by the
hand, walked waist deep in the water, the
congregation meanwhile singing. After the
quotation of n text of scripture, bearing
upon the ceremony, and a comment thereon
the entire body of the candidate was i'm.
mersed, and "the two came up out of the wa.
ter" when the audience numbering about
one hundred, dispersed.
