Gov. L. T. GROVER, of Oregon, gives in
his message transmitted to thu Legislature
on the 18th inst, an encouraging account
of that far-away State. His mention, in
particular, of the public Indebtedness has
the Cheerful! brevity of that chapter in a
work on Ireland which treated Of the snakes
thereof-"There are 10 snakes in Ireland"
Under the head "Liablties Of the State"
Gov. Grover says, "This State has no
funded debt" Nor if the views of his Ex-
celency prevail is there likely to be one.
He is a strenuous opponent of stalking the
people to aid private railroad corporations.
and intimates that he will veto subsidy bills
as fast as presented. Nothing is said in the
message on Federal p2litics.

By looking at the sun, we lose the
power Of seeing other objects. 1t was,
I conceive, one design of God, in hiding
himself so far from us, in throwing
around himself the veil of his works to
prevent this very evil. He intended
that our faculties should be Mt liberty
to act on other things beside himself;
that the will should not be crushed by
his overpowering greatness that we
should be free agents; that we should
recognize rights In ourselves and in
others, as we'll as in the Creator, and
thus be introduced into q wide and ever
enlarging sphere Of action and duty

THE CITY OF ROCKS.
An Atlanta Correspondent has a Good
Word for Nashville.

A correspondent of the Christian Inde1
and Southeastern Baptist, Atlanta, writin
to his paper from Nashville says:
Your correspondent is again amid famil-
lar scenes and greeted by warm friends OF
other days. Many are absent-some on
business, and others seeking health and
pleasure in cool retreats.
The "City of Rocks" is steadily and sol
idly advancing to that degree of eminent
prosperity which is confidently and enthu-
siastically predicted by many of its most
enterprising citizens. Elegant buildings are
being erected in all quarters of the city.
The era Of marble columns and princely es-
adjustments has been fairly inaugurated,
and nelo Nashville viii soon shine in "a
diant beauty, the Queen of the Cumber-
land.
Upon one of the granite hills near the
city, and overlooking it, is the prospective
site Of the Theological Seminary, should
the wisdom of the Committee designate
Nashville as the location. The plat con-
tains twenty acres, and is said to be most
desirable for the purpose. A broad avenue
will be opened, and the street railroad will
be extended to that point.
The friends of the Institution are SAN
guine that the many advantages of this
city-local, climatic, social, literary, etc
together with liberal subscription, will Sc
cure the Seminary at this place. The Bap
lists OF Nashville are fully alive TO the i'm
portance of the movement, and will 60
their utmost to secure the neeessar amount
when informed officially what will guarau-
tee its location.
The churches are all in healthy con-
dition. Rev. T. G. Jones, D. D., pastor of
the First Baptist church, has but recently
returned from visit TO his old Virginia
home. The Central Church will soon &C.
cupy their new and spacious audience room,
which is being beautifully finished. Rev.
w. A. Nelson, the pastor of the Edgeield
church, is absent on sick furlough. We
are happy to learn that he will soon be able
to resume bis arduous labors.
The Index is hi ghly priced by The Baptisis
Of this city, aud will be heartily sustained
by them. We have received many expires
sions OF encouragement as to the ability
and conduct ofthe paper.
To the weary and hungry traveller, ono
of the features Of this city is the Battle
House. Within its hospitable walls that
prince of landlords Gen. Joel A. Battle,
has provided literally for the numerous
wants to which ''flesh is heir" Much Of
the success of this house is due to the good
management and personal popularity of the
chief clerk, j. w. f. Brison, former citi-
zen of Atlanta, and well known to the
travelling pnblic. Georgians will always
find home at the Battle House.
