We ask you to notice the advertisement of tha Washington and Lea University at Virginia, which was presided over by the immortal Lee to the time of his death, and hta son, Gen. O. W. C ostia Lee is now its President This Society, the benefits of which are already beginning to be felt, met on Bat- nrday at the usual hour, and had a most interesting meeting. We are indebted to Judge Thomas Spencer for a fnll and accurate report, which wc lay before our readers entire. The meeting was called to order by the President, and elected the following NEW MEMBERS. Captain O. H. Jones, J. L. Dunning, Colonel T. C. Howard, Dr. J. F. Alex ander, OoL It. Baough, CoL W. W. Clarke, J. D. Loyd, and F. Kuhn, were elected members. RETORT OF FRUIT COMMITTEE. Mr. J. W. Akers, Secretary, read the following report on the fruits exhibited at last meeting; Pears—The Pear, Henry the 4th, from Col. Peter’s orchard, was pronounced by the committee worthy of amateur cultivation; sizo medium, or rather bo- low, flavor very good, tree u fair grower on quince stock, and tolerably prolific. Bartlett’s were exhibited by Peters, Ormond. Wells, Wallace and Goodman. This old universal favorite sustained its already wall known reputation. The committee consider Bartlett superior to all other for extensivo orchard culture. Beurre Olairgeon, by Col. Peters, was prouounoed in advance of its season; so were several others. The committeo pre fer to wait until ripor specimens were be fore them before passing upon these kinds. The Louise Bon de Jersey, from Peters, Waloce, and Jennings, was con sidered second only to the Bartlett, auil on a quince stock rather superior. This is a well known variety with pear ool- turists, and succeeds admirably lit the South. Tho Howell, by Wallaco nnd Robinson, is on A merican pear of worth, though specimens before the committeo were prematurely ripenod and foiled to do the variety justice. Its timo of ripening in this latitude, is from tho middle of Au gust to tho touth of Scptombor. Tho Tyson, by Peters and Wallaoo, was pronounced one of our best early varieties; size large, flavor best. St. Miobiel’a Arohangcls, by Wallace, size medium, very popular with tho com mittee; flavor excellent, not excelled even by the Biecle. Several other specimens of pears were on exhibition, but without labels. Borne of thrtn were very line, fully equal to most of tho kinds noticed. These are not, howover, believed to bo new varie ties. Tho White Doycnno is another kind represented by several of our best pomolo- gists. The speoimous exhibited were of uniform sizo and appearance, very hnndsome, with flavor unsurpassed.— Very few pears are consideied more worthy of cultivation at tho South. Peaciies.—The Red Cheek Melocoton, by Robinson and Wollaco, a freestone peach, of large sizo, good flavor, quality verv good. Chinese Cling, by Wells, very largo and juicy, one of the vory finest curly cliugs, and deserves n place in every collection of choiee fruits. The Lemon Cling, by Wallace, a well known popular variety, of good sizo and variety. Tiuloy’s superb, largo reddish-yellow freestone, is of unsurpassed flavor. Thu Ficwclten, by Robinson, is one of tho earliest clings, good size, en Indian peach, of superior excellence, very juicy nnd highly flavored. length of tho limbs A great deal lias | from twenty years experience. There been said about cutting near a bud, that may be best, but is not very material, use a sharp knife, rnako a clean cut, slanting; this is the first year’s treatment. The next year tho tree will bear a few peaches if the season is good. If any long limbs come out, trim thorn nil', and go through the shortening process again. If you don’t tho tree will outgrow itself, and bo like some of my trees now, or my friend Jock Wallace. As we have all been more or less demoralized by llie war, our own treos have suffered also from neglect und otber causes. When trees once get into that condition, I know of no remedy for them but to dig them up; nothing can bo said in favor of priming an old peach tree, the best plan is to dig them np; occa sionally they may do well, if cut down sud allowed to sprout up again, but I do not approve of it; by far the best is to dig them up and replant, hut not in the same place; it will take eight or ten Years before tho ground would be suitable to grow peaches aguin. Keep up tho prun ing plan till the tree is so large as to be beyond your reach, then you con let them go. The best crops are tho second nnd third years’ bearing, the fruit is then the finest nnd best, every succeeding year tho fruit deteriorates in Bizo and quality.— This is a poor pencil year; they ore all small this year. I have n favorite tree that onght to bo dug up, os the peaches are much smallor than on younger trees. Do not plant in very rich ground. If your ground is rich, plant further apart. As a general rule, twenty feet is the right distance. Yon may cnltivato between tho treos peas or cotton. In the Nurtli they havo an enemy to pencil trees that is un known hero—I call it the yellows. The leuves turn yellow and fall off, and the tree seems blighted. Here, tho greatest enemies to the pcachtroo are the peach- borer anil old ago, which latter may visit us all. Tho borer is tho easiest to get rid of, of anything in tho world, with proper treatment. About tho first of November you dig down and scrape away tho dilt until you exposo tho yellow roots of the tree ; carvo out every worm ; leave them exposed till near tho beginning of Jfay: seo that you have got all out Irom tho tree, then bank up the tree abovotbc surface close to tho tree. In the mouth of Juno somo of thellios cannot pene trate, and die. A few delicate flies of the moth species may survive. Thoy are hatched out about tho first of June, and depusit their eggs on, or near, tho sur face, close to tho tree. When November again comes, renew your attack upon them as before, and you wilt finally erad icate them. Mr. J. J. Toon—Wished to know what would ho the best treatment to orchards around the city, where there were trees of four or five years standing in bud con dition. Mr. Peters—Cut them down and begin are other gentlemen here of long ex perience, w Ire will confirm my views. I allude chiefly to the matter of pruning. If perfectly pruned, they produce better and more peaches than if allowed to go unprum-d. Mr. Wollaco—I havo found that it will not do to thin tho fruit after a certain time. It will injure the whole crop to do so. Col. Howard—I would not on any ac count ullow oats to be In an orchard of peaches. After transacting much important busi ness, tho Society adjourned, to meet again next Saturday morning at PJ o’clock. “New Departure.•' Oar ertoemed friend Dr. E. J.

YOUNG FBACIl ORCHARDS. Colonel R. Fetors gnvo a succinct ae- oount of tho proper management of yonng peach orchards, timo and modo of pruning, oucmlcs encountered und how ovorcome. With an enlarged experience of nearly a quarter of a oentury, his viows are onlitled to weight, and were listened to attentively. UR. peters said: Borne twenty years ago I experi mented thoroughly on that subject. I corresponded with almost evory ono that I supposed could give information abontit; With Governor Hammond, of South Carolina; Mr. Redman, Mr. Rob inson, of Downing Hill Nursery, and many others. We planted .orchards and tested the various modes; somo I planted without touching them again in the way of pruning; others I pruned and tried various methods. In planting an orchard a great many think twcuty-flvo cents too high for peach trees; bo they will proceed to sow the semi; then when about eiglr leen mouths old proceed to graft or bud. In Angnst it is a foot or two fcot high; next year he brings them into markctfhe must dig them up aud mnke somo use of them, either plant or sell or throw them away; they ore of so much more rapid growth than a pear. If planting an or- ohard, I would bay peach trees abont eighteen months old, a tree of the second season. Tho beat time to plant is usual ly in November or early pint of Decem ber. Cut them off about four and a half feet high, and be certain never to leave a limb on—leave nothing but the stump; that is the only way to do it; any other way is wrong; somo want them a little higher aud some a little lower; plant at deep as it stood in the nurssry, or per haps a little deeper; plant in November, gd the succeeding summer let the limbs grow as they please, bearing in mind tho principle that loaves make roots aud roots make leaves. In fall, say latter part of August, in September or October, out and prune the tree into good shape; this must be done when the tree has stopped growing for the season; out off all straggling branch es, so as properly to balance the tree, so the limbs come out regularly; avoid leav ing a fork, as tbe tree is apt to split when laden with fruit. When von got the tree in proper shape, cut off half the again. Col. Howard -Cut the tree to a stamp; nso wood ashes, nnd cultivate with enry; plant no oats near them—oats will ruin any orchard. W. r. Fattillo—Enquired if there was no way that pcaehtrecs might be planted in orchards now in use? Mr. rotors—You may do it if you bring fresh soil from the woods in sufficient quantity. Dr. Alexander—Can’t yon treat an old treo tho same way? Mr. raters—'Tho seoond crop of a yonng tree is tho great crop of the tree. The first is tho largest peach; the second and third the paying crop; that is my ex perience. It is tho experience of the peneli-grownrs of Delaware and New Jer sey. Afterwords thoy become smaller by 1 agree* and beautifully less. Dr. Alexander—I havo an orchard that vfas planted by Mr. Akers, from which I can sell peaches at three or four dollars per bushel, wliilo poaches aro selliug on tho streets at eighty cents W. F. I’atillo—Has any one tried the effect of carbolic soap or carbolic acid ? Conhl not a solution of one or the other bo used on the roots of peach trees with advantage ? Mr. Wallace —You cannot reach the borer that way; you must uso a kuife. Col. T. Howard—If you will make a box of boards ubout tlireo feet high around tho hoe and fill it with bay, that will prevent the borer reaoliing tho root. Mr. rotors—'The simplest nnd cheapest way is to use dirt to bank up to the tree. Mr. Wallaco—Tho best plan is the dirt. Col. Howard—I object to tho banking system; it is comparatively new and un tried. Mr. reters— It was first brought out by Downing years ago. You will kill a pair or an oak treo, aud some others, hut not a peach. Mr. Cole—There is no doubt but that tho peachtrec is very much benefltted by this banking system, aud if persevered in it will destroy tho borer entirely. I must qualify that somowhat. You may leave a few, but which c«re, aud taking them out with a knife, w hen tho borer is fairly imbeded, lie is in a casemate. You must exposo the colure of tho tree, and root him out. If uot ousted, when summer comes lie will find liis way out, and deposit, his eggs. If you get him out of his casemate, tho winter will kill him. It will bo well not to put tho bank too high, but it must corer tho calm* of the treo; if perserved in the objoct will be obtainod. Mr. Akers -1 adopted that plan in I860, and while I kept tho orchard on that plan it was free from borers. Mr. Wallace—Tho mere exposure does uot kill the borer. I havo soon them en veloped in solid ice, which, after being melted tho borer still lived. Mr. Fetars—Ono of tho difficulties wc havo hero with tho lato poaches is that the cureulis has four seasons, or four generations, so tho earlier varieties of peaches escape tho attacks of succeeding generations, which attack tho inter varie ties, lienee the oarly pooch is tho best for cultivation in tbe city. In the country they have an advantage in allowing tho hogs to run in tho orchards, and they de stroy great numbers of theso posts. Mr. J. Norcross—Said that iu Ohio their viows about prunning varied con siderably from Mr. Fetcre’. Mr. Peters—Replied that this was tho natural climate of the peach, and that Ohio was not so well adapted to it I have paid dear for my experience in read ing Northern works and following their plana. Our cliqiate is so different tlmt tho culture must be different too. I speak The Flomin Hewing Nnthlnr.' Tim fact Ibut Mr. D. L. Hill lias taken the agency of the Florence Hewing Ma chine, in connection with Mr. Guilford, is all tho guaranty that is needed that the Machino is first-class in overy particular. Mr. Hill is an old sewing-machine man, and has become popularly known to our people through his long connection with tho Howe Machine. Ho has sold a great many of tho latter and, we think, has given satisfaction. Hut he has diposed of tho Howe agency nnd taken the Flor once, to which ho will give his undivided attention. This signifies that tho former popularity of the Machine is to be in creased at once, and wc expect very soon to find persons nsing it who havo, here tofore, given their preference to others. Tho Florenco is a good, substantial Machine, is easily managed, and com bines all the advantages that can bo claimed for any other, together with some that aro peculiar to it. It is well and handsomely constructed, is a light-run ner, will do anything that can bo done on u sewing-machine, makes a beautiful stitch, is cosily understood and controlled, and is, withal, iu every respect, ono of tho best on tho maikot. Messrs. Guil ford A- Hill will take pleasure in showing it to all who arc in want of machines.

Throwor, as announced in yesterday’s Pro,) while on his way from Whitehall street to Hightower’s, met with a very painful accident.

A splendid young Oow and Calf can be bought cheap by calling at this office. *lt On Friday night last, at the meeting of tho City Council, Major George Hill- yer guvenotice, “by authority,” that the Georgia Railroad Company “docs not hold itself hound” to meet its subscrip tion to the Georgia Western Railroad. This notice was given in writing; signed by Major Hillyer, who added verbally that Judgo King thought llio city of At lanta had not reaffirmed its subscription since the war, aud that the Georgia Railroad subscription was sot binding. Tho peoplo of Atluuta have received this announcement with surprise, und many are indignant. What can tie the real motive for this action is extensively canvassed among our people. It is cer tainly vory greatly to tho interest of the Georgia Railroad to havo tho Georgia Western bnilt at onoe, and Jstill more so to own Stock in it. It is also cer tainly very greatly to the interest of the Georgia Road, and also of Augusta, that Atlanta should thrive and flourish. The Stock would be much enhanced in value, if Atlanta were to-day five times as large as it is. To thwart the construction of tho Georgia Western, or even to fail or neglect to assist in tho work actively with means, or to do anything that .will retard the prosperity of Atlanta, is certainly a suicidal policy for tho Georgia Road to pursue. Something, we should think, is at tho bottom of this notice which is not very apparent on the surface. If the Di rectors desire to cripple and damage their own rood, it cannot adopt a more certain means ul doing so, than preventing the building of tho Georgia Western, or re tarding the growth of Atlanta. This fact is too patent to need elucidation. The city of Atlanta has re-affirmed its subscription to tho Georgia Western since tho war, in solemn form—Judgo King’s opinion to tho contrary notwith standing. We, howover, do not seo tho necessity of this re-affirmation. Tho subscription was actuully mado—both by tho city of Atlanta and by tho Georgia Railroad, nnd neither party can hack out from its contract—its binding obligation Such, nt least, is tho view entertained by eminent lawyers; and that the Georgia Road can be held to the porformnnee of the contract. Be this as it may, it looks like an act of bad faith to try to ovade it, or refuse to perform it cheerfully and to the fullest extent. As we said, there must bo something behind the socnes, which is not apparent and just at tho threshold, the written no tice of Major Hillyer is ono of tho queerest documents we have seen in many days. It very forcibly strikes the mind as if it were intended to havo several constructions put upon it, or to he used for several purposes, or for any purpose as occasion might require. It is truly a curiosity iu its way. Here it is, as wo find it in tho “official proceedings” tho Conncil. Atlanta, August 4,1871. While I am, ns an individual, earnestly in favor of the Georgia Western Railroad, and of tho renewal of tho Georgia Rail road subscription to the samo, yot, as one of tho Directors of tho Georgia Railroad, by tho authority of the same, it becomes my duty to givo notice that tho latter company does uot hold itself bound by any former subscription or proposod subscription to said Georgia Woatorn Railroad. As an individual. I regret ta have to perform this duty, and os an Atlanta mun, beg leave to say that I shall lonvo no reasonable effort un tried with my fellow members of tho Board to indnen them to renow their said subscription, believing os I do that the Georgia Railroad is deeply interested in tho proposed mathematical extension of their own lines into ono of the most undeniably freight producing regiour in tho United States. Georoe Hillyer. Why was this notice given to tho City Council 1 Such matters properly belong to tho Board of Directors, and tho Coun cil can do nothing in relation to it—no moro than any other stockholder. The Road is organizod, aud ofllccis and di rectors appointed, anil all such communi cations should be mado to them. Tho Counoil has no authority in the caso, and very properly referred it whore it proper ly belongs. But the Road can aud must, and will ho built, no matter whethor the Georgia Railroad stands np, or is held to the fulfilling of its obligations or not If that road or Augnsta allows the Geor gia Western to be bnilt withont lending a helping hand, it can bo used effectively against both, whereby they will feel the fruits of this refusal. Already somo of onr merchants are talking of bringing no more goods via Angusta. It is to the in tcrest of tho Georgia Road and of Au gusta, to facilitate overy enterprizo that will benefit Atlanta. Wo especially desire not to be under stood ns charging Jlog. Hillyer with try ing to deecivo iu this matter. We feel very sure that lie, as ho says, is personal ly in favor of tho Goorgia Road standing up to its subscription; but we insist that tho notice ho has given the City Conncil is tho queerest document wo havo seon for years. Wo shall say more on this subject, and we add now, that Atlanta and the people along the line of thoGeorgia Western aro abundantly able to build tho road, and aud will proceed to build it, whether the Georgia Road assists or not.
