A little picture floats before our mind right; now, so apropos, that we will beg pardon for calling your special attention to it: A dozen college boys, grouped on a piazza overlooking the room of a new fellow—a re-1 puted lion—who has ju6t made his first appear ance in the campus. They are eagerly dis cussing his probable merits, and guaging in know how’ many quires of paper were printed in its office every day before the suspension of the San and we know how many since. The combined circulation of the two dailies, after the exchanges, free list and non-paying subscribers of the Sun are extracted, is not as laTge by several hundred copies as the regular daily circulation of the Herald. There is not any need for betting to prove this. Let any curious advertiser inquire fof hypothesis, his calibre, when suddenly a ser- “ ews a « cntfi ’ n6W8boys - elc - and he wiU Uarn . . _ _ tkie fVu»fc Tji* aiw nprcnn travAlincr on vant flings his door wide open, and there stands the hero in full view, just finishing his toilet. All eyes are turned on him. He looks well about the head; his cravat is neat ly tied, his hair arranged carefully, and the eyes of the boys sweep inquiringly down his body. His coat fits well, bis vest is tasty, his watch chain not a whit too loud, his pants becoming, and a pretty good impression is created, when—Heavens, above us ! like two huge red lobsters, spreading iu flatulent shame, the wretches bare feet glare on the floor. The miserable man has actual ly dressed himself from head to foot, cravat and all, before he has thought of putting on his boots ! That slays him. “Ob, Lordy! he won't do!” goes all around the circle, and the man’s doom is sealed. By instinct, or something quicker than instinct, when those boys saw that fellows boots lying neglected in this fact. Let any person traveling on the railroads observe which paper is most sought. Go to any town within the radius of Atlan ta’s business, and you will find that the Her ald is most read and most sought after. Concerning the circulation of the Weekly Herald, we have never laid any claims to superiority. Six months ago our weekly, then a four paged paper, had less than five hundred circulation. We enlarged it to eight pages, and now print about three thousand copies. Whether the combined circulation of the weekly Sun and Constitution is larger than this we do not know. What we do know, however, is, that the weekly Herald has more subscribers iu Georgia and Alabama than the weekly Constitution has. contest for this premium will be required to notify the Committee by the 15th of .Septem ber of such intention, audio state explicitly their determination to observe and abide by these rules and regulations for the government of the contest. They will also state, approx imately, the number of officers and men that theywill bring. The committee state that there are ample and thoroughly suitable grounds adjacent to the Central City Park, (where the contest will take place,) for the wants and requirements of military encampments—locations at once eligible, salubrious, and healthy, undin every way peculiarly adapted for such usues and purposes. All companies intending to bring camp equipage, will please notify the commit tee of that fact at the earliest day practicable. Those companies preferring and purposing to billet themselves for the occasion at our hotols, will, by timely application, direct, be enabled to secure ample and commodious quarters, with the best rations that our South ern markets will afford. For general infor mation, we append the names of our princi pal hotels—Brown House, Lanier House, and Spottswood Hotel—all of them certainly first- class houses in all tneir appointments. As this contest is to be one of the most interest ing features of our great State Fair, the com mittee invites the attention of military com panies to this circular, and in the event fur ther information is desired, will take pleasure iu communicating it. The following Board of Military Judges is appointed to witness the drill contest and de- It was not our purpose to have made any , c *^ e issue.

These predictions were true and fully sus tained by his college course. He did every thing while he stayed there on the strictly upside down principle, and blew his nose with the snort of a warhorse that snuffs the battle, when he went on the stage he got his diploma; thus ending his career in a charac teristic spurt Those boys were not over acute, though they built from a single tooth a monsters whole figure. It is by these little signs that we read most correctly. A ten pound stone thrown into the air will tell you nothing of the wind’s tendencies; a grain or two of dust and defy contradiction even by Mr. Stephens, that on the day of its suspension it had not exceeding eight hundred and fifty paying daily subscribers—and ice doubt if it had that many.

Now, concerning the circulation of the Daily Constitution, we have this to say: Its quadruple sheet was printed on paper manu factured for the Herald, and held at the office of Mr. James Ormond subject to our order.

During a heavy shower in Andover yesterday even ing the lightning struck the old South Church aud stunned Rev. Mr. Abbott, who was delivering an ora tion, and also Mr. Carter, tenor of the choir.

Milwaukee, July 5, 1873. A terrific storm passed through Wisconsin yester day, which proved very disastrous to the pleasure parties at Green Lake. Wisconsin. A number of Dleas- ure seekers on the lake were struck by the storm, their boats capsized, aud twenty persons drowned. The following are the only names that could be • obtained: McRussell and daughter, of Berlin, Wi*.; Jennie Olin, a child of Mr. Olin; Mrs. A. P. Corwin, Mrs. George Harding, William (Branham, wife and child, and Mr. John Brain, all from Dartiord. In Imlinnia. New York, July 5, 1873. At Washington, Indiana, the storm was exceedingly fierce; spears of wheat were scattered about wild and carried many leet in the air. At Columbua storm was very severe and destructive. The general prostration of Telegraph polea is without parallel in the history of the telegraph company. An alarmingly large number were shivered to pieces by lightning aud totally destroyed, while many others were partially (lest-oyed, and mauy prostrated by the wind. To-day will be occupied in repairs; by tonight, however, we expect they will be able to tell their own story ot the storm. llcporta from Cincinnati. Cincinnati, July 5,1873. M.

Capers, which is an elaborate one, will be published in the Herald so soon as we have received the manuscript from the Committee. "Almighty and most merciful God! We adore Thee as the Supreme Ruler ot the Universe, controlling all the laws of nature and the destinies of nations, and causing all things to work together for good to them that love Thee. We desire to confess our manifold sins and provocations in Thy sight, and humbly to seek thy favor and forgiveness for Thine own names sake. We are oome together to celebrate this day on which our fathers of old proclaimed, in joyful accents, their Independence to all nations, after long, dark days of conflict, disaster and death. We thank Thee holy Father, that Thou didst raise them up from weak ness to strength, from poverty to opulence and from feoble colonies to powerful States, stretching from sea to sea. Thou didst cause this vine to take deep root, aud it filled the land. The hilla were covered with tbe shadow of it, aua the bows thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her bows to the sue, and her brancLes unto the river. But when their children grew proud and and forgot the God of tbeir fathers—when Jeahurin- like, they waxed fat and wicked. Thon didst send I upon them Thy judgments, aud didst prostrate them beneath tbe rod of Thy power—their fruitful fields were turned into a vast howling wilderness; their cities were given to destruction, and their sous to ihe ■word, and the widow’s wail aud tbe orphan’s cry were heard all through the land. O, meiciful God, sanctify to us thisgreat national affliction, that we may be purified by tbe fires of the furnace and thus be made a wiser, better and happier people. Laying aside afl personal hatreds and aectional animosities, may this whole American people unite, with band and heart, to build up our material, educational and religions insti tutions. May law and order be tha stability of the times, peace and harmony universally prevail, aud tbe pricelesss blessings of knowledge and piety be diffused among all classes aud conditions of our citizens. To this eud will Thou give wisdom ami grace to the President of tbe United states, that he may faithfully peifarm the arduous duties devolving upon him, and thus Inspire the confidence and piomote the welfare of all the people.

Miss Eugenia Long, of i Athena, read a vivid and interesting essay on <( My vis- ! ion of ths Lacy Cobb Institute.’' Miss Nettie Le j Senes, also of Athena, selected for her subject "Time,” and treated it in a very acceptable manner.

Miss Mary Bishop, of Athens, testified her love for her society by writing very gracefully on its "Motto,” and Miss Emma Hart, of Union Poiut.closed the morning’s exercises with an essay entitled, "Do Heaven aud Earth Bpeak.” The young ladiea acquitted themselves very creditably. The compositions were all cleverly written and well read; and the audience was fully re paid for the time it spent in listening to them. THE CONCERT.

Composure and Firmness of the Prisoner What he Says Concerning His Sentence. New York, July 5, 1873. Frank Walworth was to-day sentenced to the Stale prison at Sing Sing at hard labor for life. Judge Davis, in addressing the prisoner, said he had fearful doubts whether his case did not justify a conviction of mur der in the first degree. The prisoner stood tbe trying ordeal with firmness, without moving a muscle of his features, aud left court with his mother immediately after the judge had concluded. While on hia way to the Tombs after sentence had been pronunced, young Walworth retained the self- collected appearance by which he was characterized through the trial. He remarked to the deputy Sheriff, “I am glad that I did not have to endure the long lecture I had anticipated that Judge Da .-is would in flict on me. I thoroughly understand my potition and did not desire any instruction in relatiou thereto. I simply wish time to arrange my affairs, and I snail then submit myself to my fate, with all tbo equanimity I can command.” The Deputy Sheriff had previously received instructions to take threo convicted criminals to Sing Sing on Monday, and it would be impossible for bim to return for Walwerth before Wednesday. Besides this, the Sheriff is disposed to grant the wish of Walworth’s friends and relatives, who are very anxious that he should not be removed before, in order that he may settle his affairs. Mr. O'Connor it ia under stood, intends to move at an early day for a new trial, or for such further proceedings as may give the case a new phase, and in addition, to move that Walworth be permitted to remain in the Tombs till the ques tion* raised shall have been determined.
