And what I, with him, wish may be distinctly understood by everybody. And fi. rther, I wish it to be known as distinctly, that manjual labor is only obligato ry on the students ii the Classical Department, and not in the Theological Department. But in the article under Consideration, the subject has received such a caitfas to mislead those, who have not the opportunity of "appealing to the re cards of the Convention" Durus calls the school "the nameless banthns' I regre the use of this term in this article, jftjhe meaning of which is lit tie child) because jtlrepresents the Convention, as extending "its guardianship to the classical .school, as a new an id iuconsiderable concern Desirous of correcting an impression so errone ous I request you to publish the following extracts from the records)! tht .Convention.

I ' "Resolved, That the Institution shall embrace, ia its course of instruction, the ordinary branch taught ir. a classical school, and also, such as triay assist young men designed for the Gosjpel iVlinistry." J 1 The cite of the Institution was fixed at Edge-j field Court House, in! Dec. 1825. The Princi-, pal was elected in Sept: 182G, and entered upoa tliie duties of his office" in Jan. 1827. The clas sical department contained about 40 scholars, and theological, from 5 to 10. In the second year, the health of the Principal sunk under his labors, and he resigned his office.; Under his administration, the following formed a part of the rules appointed for the government of the Seminary: 1. "The Seminary shall be named The Furman Academy and Theological , Insti tution. 1 1: Intathis 'Seminary , beneficiaries shall be received, who shall be regular ! members of I some Baptist church;iQ fellowship vy ith the Bap tist Denomination. Indigent, pious, youcg men,! approved by their churches, as men called of pod to preach the Gospel, who shall also beap- proved in like manner by the Board, shall be the : Beneficiaries. 15.

States." .'j I .Upon the resignation of the Principal, the U.caderay" was (jiscoaUotted, the Theological students transferred tb the High Hills of Santee, pd the Theological Department placed under tbe care of Rev. Mr. Ilartwell, in conformity with the following statement and resolution from l. lhe mirjutes of 1 828.j "An. S3. The Board sub- fitted in detail a statement of the condition of , ih-i Furman Academy and Theological Institu tion: Wherefore, after considerable discussion, t was resolved, That, as there have appeared insuperable-obstacles to the success of this Insti tution on its'present plad, and in its present lo- Scation; to secure the important objects of the Convention, as welt as to fulfil the part of can ilor and justice to the Trustees of the Edgefield jVillage Academy, and the j inhabitants of that place, it is necessary to abandon at present the - .classical departmnt of' the school, to surrendet to the donors the property given with a view to that departrrjent, and to make an equitable com ; promise with subscribers of the same charac- ter. ; - - . j ; '. v : Resolved also. That our Beneficiaries be pla- ced, for the present.! under the care and tuition'of the Key.;. Hartwell at Disown residence, witn a view ia future, to establish the Institution in more strict accordance with the original design of making the 'Theological department most pro rainent" j . .'.-. ' ' '" The institution flourished antjer Mr. Hartwell, nd in 1 S30, Mr. Hartwell cd Jilr. Turroarj were appointed Professors, j At the expiration of four yiears these brethren resigned their offices and it- was determined in the discussion which followed on the future plan of operation, to le turntoj. the original design of connecting a' clas sical and English school with the Theological Department, under the patrpnuge of the Convrn tion. rAnd liberal offers having been made from Fairfield District, a cite about 3 miles from Us Court ..House,' was determined on for both de partments. The following jextracts from "The Constitution of ' the -Furman .Institution"- will present the nature and character of this connex ion in their true aspecti, , "Art. 1. The Seminary of learning, supported by theState Convention "of the Baptist Denomi riationjin South Carolina, shall be known and distinguished by the title of the Furman Institu-, tion; and shall consist of twd branches, to wit, A Theological Institution, and an English and Classical School. j 1 ArtJIV.Sec. 1. The object of the English and Classical school shall be to prepare youth for the Theological Institution, or for entering Col lege, or for the tommon business of life. The object of the Theological Institution, to prepare candidates for the ministry of the Gospel by a suitable course of Theological instrction. j I Sec.2. The businesi and studies of the Eng lish and Classical school shali be conducted on the manual labor system; and arrangements shall be made by that branch; for affording an op portunity for regular manual; lahor to the officers and students of the Theological Institution. But tie manual labor system shall not be regarded as indispensible or obligatory upon the members of the Theological Institution, unless the Con- vention shall hereafter think proper Jo make it especially so." - j. i .Now it will beseemfrom ithese extracts, that these assertions of Durus have been rather has-i lily' made, in which he says"The characier of this Seminar' Furnian Institution) is strictly Theological, its sole objectjis the iinprovetnent of the ministry in South Carolina and theadioin ing states. . i oung ministers are the only sub jects of its care." jThe fact is this, that, although young ministers were prominent objects ol the Convention's solicitude, they were not the orJy ones. ! The Convention's solicitude extended to youth geherally, for whose correct education in morals and sciencesthe3r were deeply concerned. It will farther appear that the School is neither nameless nor a bantling. -Its name is "The English and Classical School" as the name of the Theological Department is "The Theologi cal Institution." It is not a Bantling, that is, a "liltie'chiid." Its age is coeval with the Theo logical Institution. It has embraced a grecter number of pupils, and has imparted a larger a mount of instruction than the Institution has. .To call it a nameless bantling then is a misno mer, i I regret therefore that it has been employ ed in this connexion. It is rather a hard blow Durris has given it, but I hope it will not. prove a: destructive one. The friends of the Institution in the Convention areas much the friends of the English andlassical school. ! "Thev desire both to prosper as intimately! connected, in spirit and - ' ! m . J.i?..l ' -II, .1 design, i They trus sery ifor the other. thatthe one will be the tiur- And that" from both will spring up many a powerful instrument for pro moting the interests of the country and religion. And although many frisky boys may go to the English and Classical School, I trust they wills find in the school a, parent, that will cure their ffiskiness, and be instrumental in preparing them as pious young men Jor the sober instruction of the Institution. . Having thus shown that there are two branch- ; xxa H.'g IliUJ v ij vua i in v v ait. i v es or departments in the Furman Insti Classical and Theological I cordially Institution approve ofthe" following sentiments from the closing par agraph of the communication from my brother Dur-us: "Furman Insiitation is the hope of South ern Baptists it belng3 to Jesus Christ k is dedicated to his etory.f It is worthy of special iuppartt irtt special influineet and special prayer." L. Mr. Editor, i i I request vog to oblige the Edgefield Baptist Ministerial j Conference, at whose in stance I send you this communication, by giving it a place in vour columns. The Conference held its qaarterly meeting in this place, on the 4th day July. The day was spent in interesting discussion on impurtant sub jects,; connected with the Gospel 'ministry 'and the welfare of the churches. Among these sub jects,! the causes of- the present decline in perso nal religion, throughout the ministry and the people,' elicited many important suggestions. The chairman was requested to prepare and pre sent, at the next, meeting, ah essay "upon the most suitable measures for elevating the standard of nietv among the members and ministers of the churches." The next meeting oi me con ference will be held at 9 o'clock on the Friday morriinor before the third Sabbath in October nexf, at the Pine Pleasant Meeting House, Edgefield District, about 26 Miles East or a little North of East from the C. House. Messengers trora sis ters Associations, aod brethren generally, are all affectionately inrited to attend. ' i r Yours truly, . ; j - V. B. Johnson, CA'n. - From the S R. Telegraph. ! !

Dr. Beecher de liTered a series of discourses, by request, to the mechanics', association; of Cincinnatti, Ohio, on the evidences of Christianity and its nature and teQdeacies, which , hare inca. been published in the Cincinnati Journal. These discourses arf replete with the eloquent results of original aiid vigorous thought; in argumentthey are autt,auu in illustration novverful. We laid ttieni usidei for our columns, two months ago; bu. haVe not till i.ow. been able to find space for them. The followiuir is un extract of one of them j on the Republican Tendencies of the Bible." J To the perpetuity of national intelligence, competence; and hberty.and all the parts aud pro- portions of the most elevated find comprehensive condition of society must be secured. ;i There are those who seem to think that the; prevalence of universiil chrisunity would eclipse the sun and curtain the heavens in sackcloth and carpet the earth, with dust and ashes; that every narp would cease and every statue tall, and ev ery painting flee from Vandal, violence to the cav erns ol the earth arid allthe'ornaments and ele jgancies and biyh enjoyments ol jif give place to one universal unending fast-day. Thatsmiles will cease, and the warm heart and the sparkling eye be exchanged for moping melancholy. There are not wanting christian?, and christian ministers, who seem to think 'that .nothing. unre quired for millenial perfection! but lo undress the world, but to urge the process of retrenchment till the body is half denuded to cover the naked ness of the soul. . Nqj doubt there are excesses of self-indulgence 'and isuperflutly in the church, which ought to be retrenched-While as yet the world lies in v. icktdness, ancrso few eyes pity, and so few hands are extended to save. But it is not the permanent plan of heaven to se cure the amelioration of-the earth's condition by -retrenchment . and self denial. It is! the purpose of God to exalt, and not to debase society, and to roll onward the tide of humaln im provement. It i3 sis vhicbhas covered ihe earth with ignorance and poverty ; and the mo iiient lbe gospel legislates over ' the universal heart of nations, it will be filled with intelligence and abundance.

And yet it is this constitution of Heaven in the appointment of different -t orders, and employments, and taste, and talents among men, against which the envy of man has been most virulent and rebellious. All, left to inclination? would rush up to honor, wealth, and leisure, to starve amid their abun dance. They would, indeed, be honorable men ; but who would do them honor 1 , They would be rich, but . who would construct their buildings, provide raiment and mini-ter to their want.sjieed the plough, construct the turnpikes, excavate the canals, form the rail-roads, drive the steamboats, and navigate the ocean 1 The result of univer sal wealth would be universal poverty, universal stagnation of business, and ruin of society. Amid their shining! heaps of gold, they could purchase nothing. All Would be gentlemen a bove labor, and yet every one would be compel led to be his ovn menial and artizan. But if to prevent envy and secure republican equalily.you exile wealth and capital and variety of condition, and go down to rtlalive poverty, then where! would be the capital for the employment of the! poor?

We are des tined inevitably to become a great commercial and manufacturing- nation;. employments which expose multitudes to the temptations of the ocean, and condense millions in cities and manufactur ing establishments, where nothing1 but an effi cient education can prevent, as in Europe, the formation of a dis-tinct.caste, imbecile of rnind, and inapt but for one employment- where par ent & children vegetate in boneless degradation Jon the confines of starvation and insurrection.
