Recorder. - Wake Forest College, Nov. 2J, 1852. Mr. Editor: I wish through your columns to congratulate the Baptist church and the public gen erally, upon the election of the Rev. J. J.' Brantley of S C., to the Presidency of Wake Foi est College, and at the same time to express, to my scattered friends my satisfaction with the appointment. I like his accidents and his antecedents the accidents of his locality, and the antecedents of his life, for he is a good scion from a noble stock. More than twen ty years ago, when I was at the University, there were few more honored and- popular' names in North Carolina, than his father's,, who died, I be lieve, President of the City College of ; Charleston, and no doubt gave his son the best training for the pituation to which he has just been appointed; -His middle age is no objection. Were he advanced Jn years his aspirations, feelings and exertions could not be in, unison, with the activities energies and exertions of a young and rising Institution. To sum up all in one sentence- he meets and answers a foud publiVcall for Southern President to -prepare Southern youtn-ioc Southern fields of labor. ' Wm. II. Owen. P. S. .Since writing the.above, I have been . satis factorily informed of the acceptance of the Agency for the College, by the Rev. Charles Manly .Wingate of South Carolina, ,This also is a subject of con gratulation of the frjendgpf the College, for the secu ring of his services is a atep towards the accomplish ment of a cherished wish of the . authorities of the Institution, to devolve as many of its offices as pos sible upon its'own Alumni., Mr.' V ia a favorite and honored son of the Institution, and he can speak advisedly of its claims, - wants and "merits. None will plead for a parent like a child. .We cordially recommend Mr.-W. to the public as a Christian, a Gentleman and a' Scholar. W, II. 0. - Forth Recorder.,. . r, -r - A Reply To a remark made by a Minisier about the Introduc- - iory sermon preacnea ai ine unton jussociauon, re specting Redemption and Salvation i - The writer proposes to show what redemption is, and how far it is connected with salvation, and that there could have been no salvation without first, a redemption - . , "v-. , The question then arises, what is redemption ' To redeem is to buy that "which had been sold 2. To deliver or redeem sinnersj from sin, death andhell.i " - - ' ' 3.To improve opportunities. . " If To redeem is to buy that which had been sold Ye have sold" yourselves for naught, and ye shall be redeemed without money . Here the prophet speaks of the bondage of the; whole human family under sin, and the redemption by Christ. " . , - . y, - This we will call a-.-general redemption,:wherein all men are included,'and points to -the death of Christ as a propitiatory sacrifice-for the sins of theworld. . 2. ...The origin of redemption in the covenant p grace. -It is universally acknowledged, that God might have leftlDur guilty race to perish in their sins He was certainly not Dound in justice, -to interfere on their behalf,' but as the righteous governor of the world, he might have proceeded to uphold the au thority of his law, by executing its penalty upon 4i rious provinces of his empire. "'His goodness did not require that he should, rescue his rebellious subjects from the misery they, had brought upon themselves,, because . he had already given ample' display of it in their creation, and it was stili'exhibited in the happiness diffused "through all the region of innocence. His glory does not depend upon the manifestation of any particular attribute,' but, upon the manifestation of them all on proper oc casions, and in lull harmony." He might not"' have created asingle being to contemplate and admire his perfections, and when those who were admitted to the wonderful spectacle were guilty of, dishonoring aim, he might farther revealed himself only in wrath, ppunng out the - vials gf his indignation upon the polluted spot which they inhabited,-and turning it into a scene of desolation. What would the loss of our world have' been to him, in whose eyes 'itis as nothing; yea, less than nothing" and vanity?; -Itfoll0ws from these observations, the truth ef which cannot be 'disputed, that the plan' whichTie has devised for the restoration of fallen men Jo puri ty and happiness; originated in his, saving grace. In speaking of the work of redemptionwe must, ascend its source;; begin with the "consideration o that eternal agreement between Ihe persons of the God head, on which thet dispensation r of mercy Jo man kind is founded :AIt is usually'calleu" a covenant, and,on accountof its origin; and of the miuner in which its benefils are communicatedit is denomina ted the covenant of grace, But in using this term, vve must 'not give loose reins to our fancy, and invest a divine fransaction.with the fo'rras and technicali ties of a.human bargain. This I fear as been some times done, with the best intentions,have no doubt but with an unhappy effect, as it ings dowir a sub ject which should always be reflated upon with rev erence and admiration to a Jbvel with ahe every day affairs of ti miserable" mo)4lsj- and iscalculated to make us forgef its sublimity, in the minuteness and familiarity of the detail.' Ve come how tospeak of the redemption procurfd by Christ, Paul says Christ hath redeemed us fom thecurse of the law, being made a curse for -lis j'for it is writte Cursed is every one that hangeh on a tree. That the bless, ing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ ; that wf might receive the promise of the Spirit through filth.;. And again, neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood , he entered once into the holy.1 place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.v -And again, for as much as ye know that . ye, were not redeemed with cor ruptible things as s jr an gold, but with th"er;pre cious blood of Christ as of a lamb without ' blemish and without snotwho verily was fore-ordained be fore the foundation of the worldbut was manifest in tLese las times for you; No"r yet,; that he should orer him?df often, as the high priest Jentered into the holy place every year with blood of others - for then mpt he often have . suffered since, 7the founda tion cfthe world; but new once in the end of the world bath he appeared to put away sin hy, the sac riScf'of himself. -; -.' -: . .-, - y. is manifest, that all this relates to the death! of Christ in tha fulfilment of the stipulation of the'eove r.int of eternal re Jem; ::-"n for Adam's race. Pevious to the acco...: !isl -er.t cf this, we were shut up into the faith, that was afterwards to'be revealed by the preaching ct t;.a gc were keft under t' 3 r Irir j us to Christ tefore faith cane, v; ) - - t'.-t faiih i? ccne, .':.':-!. 'v: ; Col vs e are o I -Icra .. 1 -1 cur L:rl lt:i-CL:1. . l;i:-vetl; ixz'h t: For the helps their unbelief, and he gives himself to Christ, as his only sure foundation, saying, . ; : "Here Lord, I give myself away, , v ; It is all that I can do." .. ' " He then realizes in' himself that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hathmade him free from the law of sin and death. - Christ is made unto him wisdom, "and righteousness, and ? sanctification and redemption. For as many as are ; led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear ; but ye have received the spirit of adop'tion, whereby we cryv abba Father. Thus 1 have in as few words as possible, expressed my views between a general redemption "and a particular re demption. Forxye are all the "children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. " . ' ; .

Tobey On Friday; the 8th ult the Catawba River Baptist, Association commenced its session with' the church at Union, Burke, County,. N, The delegation was more numerous than usual, nearly every church but one being fully represented, and we were assisted in council by able: correspon dents from the" Green River,. Broad River, .Lewis Fork, and King's Mountain. Associations; Resolu-; tions against dram drinking , at public' times and places, and in favor of leaving? the question of mis sions open to 'each individual churcrt were adopted; and reference was made to a, resolution passed some 7 years ago, the purport of which was,' that -. the missionary question should be no bar to communion, and that each church might contribute what it pleas ed to that object. On Saturday several able speeches on the subject of the spread, of the gospel were made- by Rev. Messrs R; B. Jones, Alex. Abernathy, ll.Al. Moody and Tr Craig. and much deep feeling, .towards .that object was elicited. - ' ' " -; " . w" On the Lord's day,' Rev. J. C. Grayson preached an able sejmon from Acts 24. u He reasoned Onright- R.

On Lord's day, Elders J. G. Hall, Hodges and Webb filled the pulpit. Elder. Lourie, ate of South Carolina, delivered a sermon on the Bible cause before the Association, on Saturday at on. The Association decided to lay a resolution on the table, with a report of a . committee,-expressive of views favorable to a revision of the Scrip tures. , , " In the roll call,' many familiar names greeted my ear, a large portion of the "ministry" claim .

Elder C. was born on the Black Lake 3 miles from Elizabethtow.n, on the 6th of October, 1778?' This beautiful sheet of water is called by D.

State "duringMhe Revolutionary - War, ,Lake Cranstonbut the venerable father Crawson calls it Lake Batram"-. "It derived the name, says father C, from ColJ Batram, who, once Jived on its border. Elder Crawson left Bladen ' in-1783, and.- settled or. Little Pidgeon Tiver in Kentucky. .- The accounts he gives of the Indian "wars of that day are " very inter esting. He remembers well, some of the events of the' Revolutionary War, which I would narrate, did time and space permit, but hear. me. When' the British troops passed ' through the neighborhood of Lake Batram, they took a poor neighbor's only hoi se. neighbor's misfortune Mr. Crawson promised - to at tempt a rescue.' As soon- as night set ia, he approach ed the camps and: observed where the"; horse was tied : and as soon as all were asleep, he went to the horse, untied him and started 5 homewards." ' A diffiU culty occurred in .'crossing t the great Colly Swamp, the horse Ofused to cross. The darkness of hhq night prevented Mr. XJ. seeing the cause,and he urgt ed tne beast forward, until he was prostrated by a blow from. the Jail of an enormous alligator." ;Recov" ering from the effects of the blow, Mr. Crawson pro cured a light and again come on the monster, which lay directly across, the road,' feet -long. He shot and killed him, and passed over to his neighbor's house with his horse. Of course, the neighbors were all surprised to see such a carcase the next day; but no one could tell - who killed the alligator.- I have crossed the ; Colly Swamp, but had I known" that it harbored such terrible old animals, as' that killed by Mr. .
