EnlroR CHIEF:
The weather is again clear and pleas
ant. No rain since ten or twelve DAYS.
The soil, for the fir t ew days aftor the
recent wet spell, worked splendidly,
loose and easy, but since then, it has be-
come baked and works the reverse. A
good shower would prove very beneficial
in melting hard clods, and bringing the
ground generally in more mellow con
dition. Work is plentiful, and increases
every day. The long looked for good
weather has been fully taken advantage
Of by the planters, as the Roadway i'll
their work confirms.

So Bells credentials from the King of
Africa came from New Orleans job
printing Office; they were never seen in
Africa, and we will give Bell q nice
hymn book if he will prove that he him
self has ever beheld the shores of that
benighted country. It is true that he
bears considerable resemblance in looks
and actions to the African orang-outang,
but this does not signify that he has
sported with that gentle creature in it's
native forests.
We commend the following letter,
which we copy from the New Orleans
Evangelist, to the consideration of George
Bell and his misguided associates. It is
written by Rev. John Marks, one Of the
most intelligent and earnest colorsd Bap-
list ministers in Louisiana or the South:
To the Churches in Donaldsonuille:
DEAR BRErHREN-We hear that one
George Bell is in your section preaching,
and teaching doctrines contrary to the
Scriptures. We emphatically declare unto
you that we do not know the man, much
less do we know any thing Of his minis
terial qualifications.
He is not recognized as minister.
God speed has not been given by US min
listers in the city: We praise you for
your frmness and fidelity in keeping
him out of the Baptist pulpits. When
we get ready to send out missionaries we
shall select men who are educated men
who can teach and enlighten the people
and the young ones of our determination.
Henceforth let all know that the
Evangelist does not uphold George Bell,
nor does it sanction his course or the
doctrine he is advancing.
Yours in Christ,
REV. J. MARKS.
