A few years ago good pictures could bo owned only by the wealthy, and cottage walls depended, for their ornament, upon prints and daubs that were neither beautiful nor true. Now, few pcoplo aro too poor to own a “Raphael,” a “Paul Veronese,’ a “Cprrcgio,” or a Murrillo.” True, the brush of an old master has not been about them, but their idea is there—their in spiration—their beautiful creations— their lessons in purity, holiness, meek ness, wickedness, all arc there, affording tho poor man an advantage of cultivation almost equal to that enjoyed by the man of wealth. Pictures are teachers, next to books. They teach lessons that books even are incapable of imparling. They teach nothing but the truth, and that they teach iu a manner that oan be un derstood even by the child that has hard ly learned to lisp tho name of its mother. The trade iu chromos has become an im- inen.se business, and an immense amount of capital is employed in it. The public would no doubt be astonished if Messrs. E. & H. T. Anthony, of New York, were to let it he known what amount of capi tal they have employed in chromos alone. They aro fairly beautifying tho whole country with them, selling them from Maine to California, and from Florida to Oregon. A great number of them have been sold iu this city—Messrs. Phillips k Crew having had the good sense aud the good taste to euter a trade that, most pcoplo said wdfeld not pay. It is a mat ter of gratification to know that the peo ple do buy these pictures, and are thus educating their children to an apprecia tion of that art which is making the world beautiful and lovable. GEORGIA NEWS. Mr. John Elrod, seventy-six years of age, died in Hull county lust week. The surveyors on tho new road from Griffin to Madison wont to work hut week. Columlms, up to Thursday night, re received 76,204 bales of cotton—shipped 74,177, and bad 2,027 bales on hand. The Gainesvillo Eagle says: There ore a large number of visitors at the Sulphur Springs, and almost every day udds new arrivals. The. Middle (Georgian says, tho cotton crop bus been injured tweuty-fivo per cent, within tho last week, by drought. Corn is being burnt up os rapidly as we have ever known auy crop to be injured. Tho Macon Telegraph of Sunday, (which reached hero yosterday,) says Mrs. Margaret Ellis, mother'of Mr. Theodore Ellis, the druggist, met with a painful and serious accident on Friday last. She was standing upon a piano stool in her parlor, in tho act of wreath ing the portrait of her deceased husband, when tho stool suddenly turned under her feet, throwing her violently upon the floor and breaking one of her arms. The Griffin Middle Georgian of yester day, says: A negro man by the name of Sampson Faver was killed in Meriwether county, near the residence of Mr. Clark Williams, by another negro man, Ned Jones, on last Saturday night, tho 29th inst. Our informant suys that his throat was cut almost from car to car, and that ho was stabbed In tho heart. Ned at tempted to escape aud came to Griffin to take tho cars, but was arrested. The Macon TMegravh says: Nearly all of our merchants aud business men are now refusing the Macon k Brunswick Railroad money. W r o do not know what umount of it is in circulation, or what, if any arrangements have been made for its redemption. Mr. Hazlehurst, President of tho road, is now iu Now York, and it is to bo hoped that ho may mako some satisfactory negotiation, by which ho may protect the credit of his road. As mat ters now stand the money is uucurrent, or subject to heavy discount iu trade, and ought to be withdrawn. Wliat Grant Costs the People. The following is a simple but compre hensive statement of wb&fc it costs to keep up the White House for tho year ending June 30th, taking tho Congressional Globe for authority. When the professions of economy that the Radicals glory in, are considered, the following list of items is somewhat formidable. Tho surpriso of the uninitiated, however, will be abated in a measure, when informed that these items aro made sufficiently large to cover the bills for marketing, carriages, stable expenses, a tonsor and a variety of other items which Grant's predecessors were considerate enough to pay out of their salary of 325,000 per annum. Our Re publican court is pretty expensive, but it is a mero trifle compared with tho larger leaks through which the public money is constantly escaping.

We la}’ before our renders the fol lowing dispatches relating to the above road, aud the measures of tho Governor to take possession of it, as lie proposes to do, under the laws.— The first dispatch is from Mr. 1). N. Stanton to Governor Lindsay, dated the 27th of July: ” New Yobk, July 27. Our property lias been seized in the night by armed men nnd run oil into another State. Will you protect tho road and property of this company from being seized, interfered with or des troyed by persons iu tho Stato of Ala bama, in such manner that it can bo run with safety by this company?

Romskt Lindsay. It appears that a few days before receiving Mr. I). N. Stanton’s’ dispatch the Governor had commissioned Col. Gindrat, Ilia private secretary, and Gen. James H. Clanton, to proceed to the line of the road, and to take pos session of it through the sheriffs of tile respective counties of the State. On yesterday Gov. Lindsay received dispatches both from Gen. Clanton amt Col. Gindrat, stating definitely that the road was in their hands from Meridian, Mississippi, to Attulla, near the Georgia line. The part of the road between Attalhi and Chattanoo ga has yot to bo brought within the power of the State. Uow this oan he done without legal proceedings unless it lie voluntarily surrendered, wo do not uow clearly perceive. At any rate it is time that something should lie definitely settled in order that the State shall secure the advantage of trade and travel contemplated by her in so liberally aiding tho construction of this road.—Montgomery Advert i- COMMECEMKNT OK THE UNI VERSITY OF GEORGIA. Or. Palmer's Coiuiuenceiueut Discourse ami Uacealnureate Address. “Why, Uncle Joliny,” said his friend, “can you afford to cat shad at twenty-five cents a pound ?” “Mine Got,’’said Uncle Johnny, triumph antly, “I can put him in mine icc chest aud keep him till he gets cheap er.” University of Gkobgia, Athens, Ga., July 31, ’71. Editors Sun: The array of talent which usually graces the stago and floor of the University chapel during the commencement exercises of this truly time-honored institution lias always been a source of remark; but this splendid array reached its cli max to-day iu the multitudinous con course of beauty, talent and intelli gence that had assembled to witness i most auspicious inauguration of the exercises of the SEVENTY-FIRST COMNENCEHENT of the University of Georgia. The argument of Dr. Palmer, a miraculous blending of logic and elo quence, was a mighty palisade—an impassablo adamantine barrier — against the venomous shafts of Infi delity in their vaunting charge of Fanaticism against the Christian re ligion. It was u masterly effort, a model of eloquence; indeed, the dis course was u ponderous, nnintorrupt- d iron chain of logic, along whose length there continually played and sparkled a golden halo of imagination md laney—a coronal diadem of heav enly light glittering on the brow of Reason. Text—Out he said, I ant not mad, most nolle Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. Acts XXVI, 25. We can attempt only a feeble out line of some portions of this great discourse: There is no general charge against tho truth of Christianity which is bet ter calculated to smother and stifle a belief in its revelation than that of fa naticism. The assertion that it is unbe coming a rational creature to fondly idolize anything however powerful, is readily admitted; and therefore, the exhortation to madly worship a being who manifests Himself only in spirit, whose existence cannot he demonstra ted by any process of reasoning, seems to many, as they say, the height of human folly. Sueli was the charge made by Fes tus. When moved by the mighty proselyte he said: “Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning has made thee mad.” And this slur on the truth of Christianity has never re ceived a severer rebuke nor a more convincing, overpowering refutation, than that to be found in Paul’s de fense—the most noble specimen of el oquence—bearing witness to the di vinity of Christ’s mission on eartli and Ilia everlasting omnipotence in heaven. We have heard of guilty judges perverting the law; of juries viola ting convictions; but nothing like this in Paul’s case. Here lie stands a man, with the whole nation as his accusers, in thefaeo of heathen jiulg- and without availing himself of human weakness, without auy appeals to imagination fancy or sympathy, but with logic and elocjuenec that boro tho impress of divine inspiration, he wrests from Agrippa the confession, “ Almost thou persuadcst mo to be a Christian.” And, standing there, clanking his fet ters, undaunted before the purple and power of Agrippa and his court, lie replied: “I would to God that not only thou, hut also all that hear me this day, were both almost and alto gether "such as I am, except these bonds.” The Apostle’s defense embodies all the vital points of the Christian creed, exhibiting the correspondence and fixing the discrimination between this and the old Jewish creed. The charge of fanaticism is made against Christianity on two points: that its doctrines are not true, and its pretensions are extravagant. Christianity appeals to the moral in stincts, There are self-evident truths, like mathematical axioms, which are received without reason or argument, and are not dependent on proof. There is a congeniality that makes these truths evident when they are presented, and which never admits of their being discharged. Let Atheists construct tho most elaborate arguments to disprove the existence of God, and the very propo sition they employ presupposes the existence ol a Supremo Being. So the Pantheist and Materialist in making the physical force and philo sophical necessity the God of the Universe, in reasoning against the personality of the Divine Being, use terms which hold tho living truth on the mind so as to daguerreotype it there forever. Our feelings discard all such doctrines as pernicious aud unwarrantable. In all forms oi hu man idolatry, for nearly 2,000 years, these convictions have never been dislodged from the soul. 2’ Paul’s doctrines of Christ are inexplicable. There is no accounting for them except on tho supposition of their divine origin. Thero they are, tlie threo in the Godhead, incarnation of the Son, the doctrine of Redemp tion, the work of the Holy Spirit, all iu actual existence. False doctrines are human and therefore controvertible. Wliat man discovers or invent*, he ought to ex plain. But tlie loftiest minds have failed to expound the Divine dispen sation, and tho oonfession is that they are inexplicable to tho human mind. 3. (thristiauity is a clearly compacted system, homogeneous in all its parts, aud bound by a logical connection. It is a solace, when pestilential doc trines are driven on every shifting breeze, that time works out the refu tation of them all. 4. This system is reduced to writ ingr. . . It is characteristic of mysticism and fanaticism to refer, for explana tions of their doctrines, to revelations which are made only to the privi leged few, while the great mass cs- . cape the task of attempting to uphold I ary. an institution that has not for its foundation even one feeling convic tion. 5. Christianity gives exorcise to all the faculties of the human mind, aud in tho precise order iu which they were originally intended before tiny wore disordered by sin. First of all, as a characteristic of man, came Rea son ; then came tlie Affections to em brace what she dictated; and then the Will to direct. Never to tlie un derstanding fairly, but to tlie affec tions did the Devil deliver his temp tations, entangling the affections and ensnaring tlie imagination before reas on has had time to assert its sway. (i. Christianity vindicates itself by adjusting all tlie relationsof tlie spir it witli God. It sets us right with God. It is an eternal circle which draws less circles into its bounds, and in each of these little coucentiic cir cles we have mapped out all our du ties to ourself, our country and our God. For fanatacism takes society to pieces and makes one duty, like Aa ron’s rod, swallow up all others. Paul might well say, “I speak tlie words of truth and soberness. THE SECOND CHARGE is that of tlie extravagance of tlie pre tensions of Christianity. Paul says, “I speak the words of soberness,” which bespeak calm deliberation and balance of judgment. It is objected to Christianity that tho affections of its professors are too entirely devoted to God. But let us remember that intensity of love is never extravagant or fanatic if it exceeds not the due claims of tho object loved. Can He who is infinite in power, justice, good ness, mercy love and eternal glory be too much loved ? Yea, can ho be too fondly cherished and too madly idol ized 'i Who ever charged the angels with fanaticism? Although theoher- nbim and seraphim blaze before His eternal throne; although they chant in heavenly chorus their worship and praise His might, and splendor, and mercy, and glory—their worship is not fanatic,and yet it surpasses all that can Lo conceived on earth. Prove that God is loved more than lie de serves before you make the charge of fanaticism. Docs not this justify the most in tense affection ? I scorn tlie rational. I spit upon it with tlie loftiest dis dain, aud spurn it with unutterable contempt, when it cavils aud finds fault, aud seeks to dictate the amount of love which we shall mete out to a Benefactor whose love is so enduring, whose mercy is everlasting. I do not quail before the reproach that it is extravagant, but I say, in reference to these matters, Reason is utterly incompetent to speak. God’s testimony can stand alone unmoved by the haunts, jeers, flouts and scoffiugs of tho world. The bur den of tho testimony is, “ what lias tlie Word done for us and our re ply to the sophistries of infidels must be that of the Scotch peasant woman when lectured by the Scotch atheistic philosopher: “ I can't answer your arguments, hut f feel that the Bible is true. That is our duty. We have a witness hearing witness with our spirit that we are tlie children of God. If there be a fanatic who admits lie has a soul and takes no care of it; if thero be a fanatic who owns lie must die aud squanders a life in accumula ting wealtli unto wealth to become a miserable bankrupt iu<leath ; if there be a fanatic who points to the judg ment throne where myriads await their sentence of eternal pain or eternal peace, and prepares not, for tlie love of God we will with hold that boiling invective which lie deserves and exhort him to come to the living God, and ask you to respect that truth, and may you know tlie preciousness aud sobriety of this truth when you have gone to reap your inheritance iu tlie Kingdom of Heaven hereafter.” This evening tlie Rev. Dr. Hicks had an immense audience at the Presbyterian church, when lie deliv ered tlie annual sermon before the Young Men’s Christian Association. Ilis admirable philosophy is only equaled by his vehement, passionate delivery—a manner irresistible in polemics and heated discussion—for botli of which we imagine him emi nently fitted.

Mr. Ash, the Ckpluin of the British Legation at Buenos Ayres, lias published n pamphlet respecting the Into pestilence there, from which it appears that ISO,000 about two thirds fled und about 20,00 perished, tlie mortality rang ing from 400 to (4)0 por diem—more than 1 per cent, of tlie inhabitants. The city is said to liavo been reeking with filth, “steumiug like a dung-ldll whenever a hot sun catno after a rain-fall.” Tho River Flute was so poisoned that tho fish died in it, yet this water was wliat tho inhabitants had to drink.

Recently cx-Einperor Napoleon, daring a visit to London, dropped in at his oid club, tlie Army ana Navy, the smoking and billiard rooms of which lie knew so well in 1848, and had a chop in tlie coffee room like an ordinary member.

The Albney Argus print* some inter est, ng figures from tho report oi the State engineer of railroads: The number of roads operated by steam is 104. The amount of capital stock paid in is *234,225,159. Thu total cost of tho construction aud equipment of steam railroads is *249, 228,890. The length in miles of tho steam roads in the State is 7,100. Lengths of roods laid 4,773. Number of first-class passenger cars, 1,229; of freight cars, 35,051. Number of passengers carried iu cars run by steam, 24,550,703. Number of miles traveled by passengors or number of passengers carried one mile, 912,626,- 981. Total amount of freight, or number of tons carried one mile, 2,054,140,549. The number of pausongers carried iu city cars during the year was 154,591,871. The total earnings of roads operated by steam amount to *09,049,444. A groat deal is said about railroad ac cidents, anil the danger attending travel on railroad cars. Tlio result of 1870 show that fifteon passengors were killed by accidents. Tho averago nnmbor of mites traveled for each passenger killed was 609,841,798. According to this showing, tlie safest place for a person to live would bo on a railroad train. Tlio figures aro correct, and yet n person might bo killed during the first mile of his ride. John Van Bnren was dining in Downing’s, BiiWlon having just cleared a man from some charge in the court, when tlie complainant in the case, angry at the lawyer who had beaten him, walked up und roundly abused Prince John. “Could there be any man,” said lie, “so wicked, so' mean, vile, who could possibly commit a crime so foul that yon wouldn’t de fend him for it?” “I don't know,” said tlie prince, sucking another oys ter right from the shell; “what have you been doing?
