False Teachings to the Colored People in
Lee County.

ALBANY, Ga, August 25.-[Special. IA few
days ago the funeral sermon of negro woman
was preached at the colored meeting house
near the Atkinson place, in Lee county, nine
miles from Albany. The church was crowded
the congregation blocking up the doors, many
of them not being able to enter. The first
colored preacher to give an address was named
Adams lie had been studying Bunyans Pill
grm's Progress, and his sermon was in realty
lecture upon that work. He had gained
many pretty points from its lovely imagery.
His address fell upon dull ears.
Then followed an immensely popular
preacher among his race known by them as
Nose Phillips, the great revivalist lie COM
menced by stating that the deceased had join
ed the church, but had become wicked; had
cursed and danced and led wicked life
But" said he, "she committed no sim per-
son who once joins the church can commit no
sin. Christ commits the sin, and not her She
is is in Christ and lie i'll her."
Before he finished he had every darky in the
house shouting at the top Of his voice and
filled with enthusiasm.
Horace Turner, another colored exhorter,
followed in the same strain. "When she bias
phemed,' said he, cor committed any other
sin, no matter what, Christ committed them.
He blaSphemed and not her. When Christ'S
blood touches the heart all sin is over"
Another, called by his people "the Baptist"
and by no other name, said these were his SEN
timents "If / steal" said he, land pray at
the same time l do no wrong. j pray when i
have my hand upon the article ana when in
the act of taking it. pray in the act OF sin,
which will be nameless, and no harm comes
from it, 1t is forgiven"
The immense gathering cheered him to the
echo, Little negro children drank in these
pernicious teachings greedily. What an in
calculable amount of injury can be done by
such false teachers among this ignorant and
superstitious race. Missionaries need not roam
over distant seas to find material for CONVEX
sion. "Ihe heather, in their blindness, would
hardly teach such utter imluOralitV. Surely
not the followers of the moral precepts Of
Confucus, or the good and pure among the
Asiatic millions who strive to live up TO the
sublime teaching of Gantame, who believe, by
pure life, replete with charity and good
works, like Buddha,t to reach" NirVana," where
silence reigns and where the soul, freed from
earthly dross, rests upon the bosom of eternity
like the dew drop ON tho lotus.

A gentleman from Mitchell county was in
the city, yesterday and from him we learned
that young white man named T.. s. Black
had escaped from Baker county Jail in n very
novel way. On last Saturday afternoon his
mother asked permission of sheriff Galloway
to visit her son, which was readily granted by
the ever accommodating sheriff. In about
half an hour from her admittance, what the
sheriff supposed to be the old lady came out
and went on her way. You can imagine Mr..
Galloway's establishment when he visited the
Jail later in the day and discovered Mrs.
Black in there in place of her son. She had
worn two suits of clothes to the jail and gave
one of them to her boy, and in this disguise he
a pack of hounds, but did not succeed in re-
capturing him.
