Editors : We had some frost here last night. It is cool this morning. Cotton is not as good as last year ; but a* much making as well can be gathered. We have corn in abundance, and the healthiest county in the State. A Grange was organized here late yesterday. I be lieve Cherokee now boasts of three Gran gets. More hay here than was ever before made in one season. Land is going up in price. In fact nothing is going down here except the cotton caterpillsre. They all went down last night at the bidding of Jrck Frost. Very Respectfully, Oct. 8. 1873. W. B. C. P. THE NORCROSS AND CANTON MAIL ROUTE. Our Cherokee correspondent writes for Information alsmt the projected Norcross and Ca iton Mail Route. He says the peo ple want the line established and will get up their petitions as speedily as possible. The information deem’d is as follows. Starting at Noreroes tnc route proceeds to Newtown P. O. Milton County, a dis tance of seven miles. From Newtown to Alpharetta seven miles—from Alpharetta to Troy P. O. seven miles—from Troy to Hidtorv F’at Cherokee ounty, six miles— from Hickory Flat to Canton seven miles. Our correspondent suggests that the line had b 'lter ran via FreemsiwrUle and leave out Troy as it is out of the way. Will our friends at Troy and Frecmaasville, let us hear from them. The schedule on this route can be so arranged that the Post Of fices on the line can receive their mails , on Friday mornings or Ft hlay evenings. The Atlanta Weeklies and New York Wet'klhs roaeh Norenw on Thursday nights and Friday mornings. This will ; give our subs- -ribose on th > line their pa pent fivsh fix»m the pres*.

J The yellow fever has made a charnel house of Shreveport and atemporaiy waste of Memphis. It rages without apprecia. ble abatement. Southern cities and vil lages, through charitable societies, are send ing hundreds of dollars for their relief. The Atlanta Herald of Sunday contains the charge of Judge Hopkins to the Grand Jmy of Fulton County. It is plain, poin- , ted, and able, and the enterprising Hera’d 1 men have never given their readers a more v ’ wholesome dish. r A county school comminsioner, says that § “all the teachers in the State have been I ignored in the interest of the money lend- ® ers. ” 'I he Slate '1 reasurer says that “he 7 is ready to give to county Treasurers an order on the Tax Collect rs of their res spective counties for the school fund.” We thought Gov. Smith w’ould be satiso fled with being the self-constituted guar dian of the Common School Teacher’s funds inasmuch as be had loaned it to At lanta Brokers. But now he throws his guardian shield over the county funds.— Well, we live and learn, tut Teachers and tax-payers have learned one thing! well, viz : Ihe common ’school system of Geer gia is a sham and a falsehood. It is proposed to make Ex-President Davis Chancellor of the University of ' Georgia. What does President Davis know about conducting colleges'? Is it supposed that the mere reputation of ajman wll* ■build up and sustain the University ? If so, the supposition is false. It is time to explo !e the idea that any man though great in many particulars, can successfully man- ‘ age colleges and uuiversit es. It requires a man conversant with theories of educa tion, well versed in text-books, familiar with the minute workings of institutions, and thoroughly acquainted with the ge nius of the people «ho patronize the in stitution. Is not Prof. Leßoy Brown com petent and worthy ? The views of President Grant, as tele graphed Oct. 12, in regard to the Panic show more forecast, knowledge, and good -ense than anything we have seen attribu ted to our General-President in a long time. He says the panic will hurt but few individuals, and will do the country more good, and backs bis assertion by good sound reasons. It is reported here that the Roswell Rail- Road Company have purchased the com plete outfit of the narrow-guage portion of the Cherokee & Yau Wert Rail-road. The treatment of Indians by the whites of America has been an almost unbroken series of crimes in disregard of all laws. The other day four Modoc Chiefs were hanged, having undergone a sham trial for killing Canby and Thomas in a peace confer ence. ’I wenty years ago these Chiefs fathers were murdered by American soldiers at a conference to which they ha I been invi t ted under a truce flag of Captain Wright. . The modoc chiefs, ignorant of the laws of war and the.lenstoms of civilized nations, simply followed the precedent set by 1 Americans. Captain Wright was the officer i of a Christian nation and perpetrated his ; atrocious deed with a full knowledge of , 1 its enormity and lived and d< d unc-uirtir-T. and uncondemned.

Norcross is a healthy place, pure air, good water and immediately on the Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles from Atlanta. From Gatnesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873. There is nothing of more importance to the youih of our country, than a sound practi-ml education. Indeed it is a mat ter of first consideration, and in or ler that the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time mid at the leastexpense it is necessary to have teach ers -those who, from experience, h ive shown an aptness for imparting instruc tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of the Norcross High School. From Gwinnett Herald. J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a rij>e schol ar ami experienced teacher. From the Cartersville Standard.
