Athens, Ga., April 29, 1861. Sir
I have the honor of transmitting to you the accompanying resolutions unanimously passed on Saturday last by the Baptist Convention of the State of Georgia, with the request that you will present them to the Congress over which you preside.

From Montgomery. Montgomery, Ala., May 1, 1861.
Congress convenes at 12 o'clock, and adjourns at 4 P. M.
A few resolutions are submitted and referred.
A few petitions are directed to the appropriate committees; after which a motion is made to go into secret session, when the unwilling audience, with slow and flagging steps, take up their melancholy march.

--Ranaway from home, at Easter, a Servant Woman, named Caroline.
She is about 20 years of age, medium height, very good figure, ginger-bread color, and rather a long, bumpy face.
Her feet are uncommonly large, and both shoes patched near the toes.

The above reward will be paid on her delivery to me. Hugh M. Hutcheson.
