following:
"Considerable feeling has been exc,.-3
in the town of Georgia, by some develop
ments in the case Of a Rev. Mr.. Bayad,
who has been supplying the pulpit of 'he
Congregational Church there TO- yesr
past, who proves, it is alledged, to have
been in the practice of b,-.aiiy kckinE
ard whipping his young wlfc. As rel o.
ted 10 US, some eighteen distinct wLipp
ings were charged against him, within the
year, coupled with stopping his wi'e's ,e-'
tors to her friends, locking up her clothes
so that she could not leave the house, and
other unmariial and unmanly treaLAen'.
This became a matter Of such notoriety
that the reverend woman whippcr We
given by some of the young men Of the
town, the alternative of leaving the place,
or Of having Il conveyance furnished HIM
! from the nearest rail lcnce. His case was
| recently brought before the Association
\ of Franklin county. before which, as we
understand, he asserted his rights, as tho
patrischcal head OF his family, to whip
| his wife, but expressed pcntence for the
extent to which he bad exercised IL. We
are informed that the ASSOCIATION found
him guilty Of the offences charged, and
recommend him TO abate the scandal on
tho cause of religion by abandoning not
only his patriarchica' practices, but also
the pulpit which he disgraced."

The Defence Of Mobile.

While General Johnston was recently in
this city the prophets Of evil began to whis-
per abroad that he had come to consult with
General Maury about the ways and means Of
evacuating the city. When this was men
toned to General Johnston his grave face
relaxed into smile, and he said, Had that
been my purpose should not have shown
my countenanee among you. am here for
the directly opposite purpose of looking in
to your defences and preparing to hold your
city" After wards, when he had visited the
works and minutely examined every position
and gun, he remarked to the same gentleman:
.'Ycu caa tell your people that Mobile is the
most defensibie seaport position in the Confed-
crate States" Mobile is to be defended, then,
to the last, If there are any who are panied
to know it, and not ready to do their part in
the sacred work, they had better sell their
lands and houses, and pack up their goods
and remove them, with their precious persons,
from the scene Of duty, honor and danger.
All true men wifi be rejoiced to hear these
words of determination from the able and no.
bic commander Of the department, and they
will stand by him in the execution of his pur-
pose with life and property .--A Mobile Register,
