K. JOHNSON, Superintendent. 1uuuc Macon, Ga., July 10, 1871. Editor Hun : The moat promi nent among the preliminary exercises of the Wesleyan Female College, was the celebration of the Philomathean Society, on Friday evening, July 7th. The entertainment was given last evening in the spacious chapel of the W. F. College, and constituted quite a pleasing prelude to the regular commencement exercises. The hall was crowded with Macon’s elite, with quite a number of visitors, alt seem ing bent on enjoying the occasion to the fullest extent The few moments elapsing before the exercises opened, were spent in gluing at the many su perb paintings and drawings that graced the valla J’heee are apeci- me'ns'ofd.hfc aftisflto talent and culti vation of the pupils in the Art De partment of the College, and reflect much credit both upon them and their accomplished preceptress, Mrs. J. T. Crowe. Several of thpse paint ings were fine subjects, exocutod in a manner that is really surprising in artists so youthful. It was really de- liglitfol to see, from the large num ber of pieces displayed, that so much interest is being taken in the Fine Arts by our young ladies. But vo cannot entpr ip to an art criticism'now. It will take more time and space than we have now, and indeed an abler pen, to do justice to the exhibition made by Mrs. Crowe. Our eyes were drawn away from tlieir feastings rm these beautiful works of art to behold the fairer and finer works of nature. A line of voting ladies nniformed in pink and white, marched into the Chapel, bearing banners and floral arches, and arranged themselves in a grace ful curve on the stage. The exer cises were then opened with prayer by Rev. J. 0. Branch, and in proper succession came each one of tho per formances mentioned on the pro gramme. It is hardly just to discriminate and particularise where all seemed inspired with a determination to please and do well; but we must ex press our opinion that the ricitation of the “Australian Emeu,” and the character of “Patience Doughty,” showed the most careful and appre ciative preparation, as well as superior tact and talent Miss L R , of Macon, was one of the stare of the evening. The Maniac—recited in costume, by Miss Reese—was ad mirably done; the thrilling tone* and wild gcaticulation of the insane being were represented with almost painful fidelity. The salutatory and compositions written by honorary membere and read by Misses Reese, Duncan and Ilowea, were eloquent and entertain ing, the last being very witty. The Songs of Seven, by Jean Inge- low, were well delivered by the young ladies taking the parts, and though rather protracted, were well received. The address of Mr. John L. Har deman, son of the Hon. Thomas Hardeman, of this city, was the last dish on the literary bill of fere, and did not disappoint us, who expected something good. He drew a retrospect of by-gone years, reviewed the panorama of pas sing events and showed that the di rect object of man’s exertions is often less important than the ultimate end reached, and sometimes the latter ia unexpected and unforeseen. The question “For What ?” is often asked in regard to undertakings, and re mains unanswered bnt the after de velopments show the great resulting good. He illustrated this thought by un eloquent citation of the crusades. The gallant knights who flocked to the standard of the cross had in view the liberation of the Holy Land from Moslem bondage, and to expel the hands of the unfaithful from the pres ence of the Christian’s shrine. But the crowning glory of theee knights crusading was then deference to wo man. They raised her from her then degraded position in society and ele vated her to honor and influence. The speaker, who for some time had a fine reputation in the State University, sustained bimselfadmira- blv, and gave earnest of more lasting triumphs in the battle of life. The closing chorus, • foretaste of the music belonging more immediate ly to the College exercises, prepared all for the feast on Monday, a descrip tion of which we give below.

To the Young Americans <u<l young ladies (/fourteen summers, (for there are no boys and girls in these regenerate times) she delivered some wholesome advice ; and with a sarcastic tongue she mutilated every busy-body—Paul Pry and advocate of woman’s Bights in her hearing, and concladed with : “ Make a mosaic of the pebbles we have gathered from the sounding shore.” (Prolonged applause.] “Talking,” by Miss Taylor, was a bitter repartee aginst some gentlemen (?) who had been so ungallont os to accuse the sex of over fondness for frivolous con versation ; and, whoever lie was, proba bly a Knight of Mercer, found iu Miss T. tbe champion of the W. F. College. Her excellent effort, enhanced by an elegant delivery, won her frequent ap p la use. Miss Roulhac’s “ Tttogmm* were not for the press. They wero “ special die- paiche«” that played with lightning speed along the eleotrio wi res of tin* heart of fath er, mother, sister, brother, and a more loved one still, and found their re-echo the hearty applause of the whole au dience. Gray Hairs,” by Miss Swoll, was a glorious tribute to the aged and especial ly to those grown old iu their efforts to establish the prosperity of the Sunny South. It whs a splendid ovation to the supporters and patrons of the W. F. Col lege, and the most graceful effort of the occasion. Miss. S. closed with a eulogy on the patriarch of the W. F. College, the ltev. Dr. Pierce, which caused tears to rise to the eyes of the noble veteran, in the cause of education and religion of whom Georgia is justly proud. Dr. P. could not restrain himself, and rose and responded iu an address that thrilled every member of the audience, and drew tears to many eyes. WASHINGTON CORKESPON- DENCE. Mist .

Editor Sun : On the 7th inst. we had the pleasure of spending one of the happiest days of our life in the quiet little town of Conyers. Com mencing lost February the citizens of that growing, enterprising little town, which has become the county site of the new county, Rockdale, built, fin ished and on the 1st day of May- opened school in their new college building. It was not intended to do more than barely open the school. Mr. Gwinn, who has for many years been successfully engaged in teaching a mixed school, »u- m Iacted as nriu- ci|ial of the Female College, ll^ is assisted by Miss Stewart in tbe Lite rary Department and Miss Wardlaw in the Music Department The examination and exhibition re ferred to give promise of a brilliant ftiture for the new college. 1 am sure Conyers can boast of the rosiest and most healthfol looking girls of any town in the State. Many of them indeed possess perfectly la-autiful feces, while their forms are perfect models of symmetry and beauty. The examination was very credit able indeed, both to teachers and pu pil*, and when it is considered that the school has existed but fifty days it is s Matter of astonishment to see how much lias been done in so short a time. Tbe speech of Col. Estes, who hid been selected to deliver the annual address, met with universal commen dation. Taking (lie day’s exercises altogeth er—the examination, the composi tions, tbe annual address and the ex hibition at night—the whole was* brilliant success. The school will now be organized into a regular college and opened a* such about tbe 1st of September. The low rate of board, the healthy loca tion, its eligibility, with the good judgment, zeal and enterprise of the Board of Trustees, gonspire to render this one of the most desirable schools in the State. We hope to see this college prospr, and we believe from the unanimity of sentiment amongst the citizens of Conyers that It will soon lake its place In the ft-ont rank of Female Collegos In Georgia.

A few years ltefore the commence ment of (lie present century, u num ber of Trisb exiles, in seeking an asylum in this from the oppressions of the old country, united them selves in an association for mutual lieuetit and sup)iort, in a society to themselves. In those davs of won drous recitals, laitb iu French uml English, of tbe wild character of the luamus iu America, they preferred to took among those unsubdued sons of tbe forest for symbols of their brotherhood nil her than lake (hem from any English quarter whatever, even though it were American.— Hence the insignia and names of chiefs. When Thomas Mooney, or Tom Mooney was their chief officer, they concluded iu 1805 to apply to the Legislature of the State for a charier for what limy called themselves—the Tom Mooney Society, which they Indianizod into Tammany Society ; but Tammany Is an Irish bull, for there was no such Indian name in those days known to exist. Their petition to the Legislature was os follows—passed April 9, 1805: “Whereas, William Mooney and other inhabitants of the city of New York, have presented a petition to the Legislature setting forth that they, sinoe the year one thousand seven bund edand eighty- nine, have associated themselves nuder the name and deemption of the “Society* of Tammany, or Colombian Order,” for the purpose of affording to the indigent and distressed members of the said As sociation, their widows and orphans mid others who may be found proper objects of their charity. They therefore solicit that the legislature will be pleased to incorporate by tew the said Society for the purpose aforesaid, under such limi tations and restrictions as to tbe Legis lature shall seem meet. Therefor.-, Be it enacted by the people of the St te of Now York represented iu Senate mid Assembly, That such persons as now are, or from time to time shall lieenni,-, mem bers of tlie said Boeiely shall be, and are hereby ordained, constituted and de clared te be a body corporate and po- litie, in deed, fact and name, by tbe name of the Society of Tammany or Ouiundiian Order of New York.” Tummany, haring organized thus, hns become a great power in tho State. Tbe thirteen Sachems of the So ciety at present are, as stated in the programme: Peter B. Sweeny, Presi dent of Central Park Commission; Richard B. Conally, City and Comity Comptroller; Emanuel B. Hurt, Cdln- missioner of Assessments; John J. Brad I v, City Chamberlain; Isaac Bell, Commissioner of Public Chari ties; Douglass Taylor, Commissioner of Juries; Samuel B. Garvin, Dis trict Attorney; Matthew I’. Brennan Sheriff of City and County; Charles G. Cornell, Registrar of Croton De partment; A. Oakley Hull, Mayor of tbe City and County; Joseph Dow ling, Justice of Police; Nathaniel Jar vis, Clerk of the Court C. C.; James B. Nicholson, Groat Father of tbe Council of Sachems and Commis sioner of Public Charities; William M. Tweed, Grand Sachem, and the President of the Beard of Public Works. The allow constitutes at present tlie pnlilicul oligarchy of the Democ racy of this city and State. Like many other bodies founded in ‘ love, hope and charity,” it has undoubtedly grown corrupt lis it has grown great, and like all other large centralized bodies, its proceedings and ao'.ions should be closely watched by the people.

Editors of the Sun : I just drop you a lino, hoping a word may lie in teresting to you, from the mountains. During the last ten days we liuvc had fair, most too fair, weather, und crops begin to show signs of atrophy or de cline, but to-day we were revived with a splendid shower. Onr crop of wheal is aliout one- third off, and poor in quality, w.-ight light, (owing to too much wet weath er ill washing off the bloom), though we shall hare a surplus, tbe average being about one-third more than last year. Our corn also looks splendid and promises to bo tlie best yield we have bail iu seven years; though this year works prooisely, about rain, as did tbe oelehrated year ’64, when the Finis, came into Rome, though then we made heavy, fine wheat, and this year light. We made splendid corn in '04. After. General Bluir and the 17th ar- nv t(is, and General Davis of (be l4io army corps. l T . !■>., passed over and took all the horse power in toto. Clover is doing finely in this coun ty, under an improved mode of sow ing. and preparation of soil. If a fev more Virginians come in they will makeourcountry “bud and blos som like the rose,” Our farmers are somewhat pressed now, bnt I think they will realize more this yean in money and comfort, than in unv war during the last seven years. Fo«- erly, by putting in so much cotWii, they seemed to think there was no flower commanding the wise man’s attention, •• but the cotton blos.-.'in." There are very few who are mort gaging crops this year ; they seem to work nolens volene, on their ow n ao- oonnt, more than formerly. Tbe tow price of cotton in April so discouraged the plantorx that tpey gave more Qian usual breadth to oorn and cereals, and hence the unprece dented high price of provisions last year is beginning to produce a cornu copia. If tbe rains continue there pill never be such au abundance of pro visions seen, as will grace onr barns, which will reduce living and elevate the Southern staple to its former dig nity. With this result the pewple will have nearly the entire cotton Crop to adorn waste places, and make the amende honorable on their contracts. Tbe corn and bacon quotations at Cincinnati are quite tow, and down nearly to a speeie standard, whieh is u good harbinger of the return to good old days of Adam and Eve.— The war demand (transatlantic) has pretty much ceased, besides ahylocks at large ports know that it willnpt do to bold for higher prices, as less cot ton and more grain seem to be the rule. The win* of confidence and the easy manner in which debts are now paid, compel markets to he strin gent in their terms and time: besides, m buying for cash they get their sup plies 25 to 50 per cent, less than last year. A friend of mine writes from Ran dolph county, Ga., that the smash umong the advancers cf provisions lust year was really horrid—intolera ble. The cash system makes our peo ple generally, more economical, par ticularly the ladies. When they pay cash down they make out upon about half they really need. If we make a million of bales less this year, it will bring more money tlinn tbe orop of 1870, becauso it is on the principle of the East India Coni puny, who destroyed one-half of their spioes once, and got more for the ballance than for a full crop. In stead of destroying, let us improve the homestead, make it attractive and add an increased number of harmless amusements for the young people, and thus beautify and adorn and stop this wearing and skenningout pro cess of the virgin soil, and removing West us tbe ]ianacea to cure the evil. Let our farmers never be tempted, under tlie present cotton prices to re lax their rigid economy and launch out into superfluities and thus entail tho same old epidemic of articolo in mortis. In my next I will hare time to say something upon the agricultural re sources, the mechanical industry and appliances to develop onr country— tne mineral resources—the railroad connections in progress and in opera tion, and more particularly abont our county as a clover, stock, frnit, grape and flouring mill country.

The Holden, Mo., Democntt. This consistent and firm exponent of the true principles of Democracy in its purity is taking stronger hold week after week of the minds df its readers. If the office of an editor is to think iu advance of others, it should be intelligently and fearlessly discharged. We recoguize the ability of the Democrat, the information ana zeal with which it promises to be con ducted, and we recommend it to the men in Missouri who have borne so mucli outrage and persecution for opinion's sake. The worst of it is over. The sacrifices for principle al ready made in Missouri have been sufficient to endear the esnse of a cheap, simple and responsible form of Federal government to the oonfi- dence of the Democracy. A teacher of that doctrine, and an opponent of the odiouB centralization whicl^to— being attempted by force and ftranc^ located at Washington and extending to the furthest limits of the republic, lias a right to a hearing in Missduri. The people of Missouri will not fail U> respond. The present condition there is transient, and the descend ants of Southern bouses who are so numerous and respectable there, will in the end resume tbe control of the •State’s destiny. If we were to advise the editor of the Democrat, it would be our opinifi that he should calmly and temp ately, bnt faithfully, adhere to t ancient landmarks and sea marks of Democracy which fence in liberty throughout this country from out ward dangers, and which alone can preserve the shadow of it. A11 beyond is naked despotism; will and pleas ure; false and fraudulent departures; moving up to the last night’s encamp ment of the consol idationisU, and finally mingling beyond recognition in their ranks. It should be th* first care of true friends of liberty and Democracy to separate themselves from their antagonists in thought, speech and action, not. however, cut ting off the possibility of their be coming converted from the efrdr of their ways and doing service among the rank and file until folly oonfirtoea in the faith.
