THU WORTH AND SOUTH ROAD.
The progress made upon the survey of
this road, and the promising features devel
oped by it arc gratifying indeed, to the'
friends of the road and to our city. We
are assured by Major Burns that no road
bed. presents a lighter grade, and fevrer ob
structions than are presented by this, and
all that is needed to put the building of
the road through to an early completion is
a little extra effort on the part of our citizens.
The Major proposes in all seriousness to
have the road in running order, and the
cars running to (Jedar Town, by the first
day of January next, provided the citizens
of Rome will furnish 610,000 cash subscrip
tion to meet immediate demands. This
sum will obviate the necessity of selling
.city bonds at a discount, and wilt enable
contractors to push forward the wort at
once. Are there not two hundred men in
the city who are willing t-> invest the sum of
630, 00 in this enterprise, when the im
mediate retnrn is so clearly before them.
The trade of Cedar Town is threatened by
the Van Wert road, and unless the N. &S.
road can head it off, our city will materially
suffer.
The proposition of Major Burns is no
idle one. Ho knows what be can do, and
he will make good bis promise. Let our
citizens consider the proposition aod act at
once upon it. We have been ass tired by
one man that he will take 6500, of the
amount required.
Major Burns will canvass the city soon,
.. and let none turn a deaf car to his appeal.
The interest of our city is at stake, and
must be considered.

THE NED JERSEY DEMOCRACY.
The unterrified in little -Jersey,is marshal
ling its forces and preparing for the fall
campaign with an earnestness and enthusi
asm, which promises the happiest ressnlts.
Ex Governor Joel Parker, a man whom
good Democrats everywhere delight to hon
or, was unanimously nominated for Gov
ernor, and nominated too in the face of
letter positively declining the office. IIis
services at this time are such that bis patri
otism cannot deny to hb country, and- his
election will bo sure.
Mr. W. T. Alexander was Chairman,and
in his address calling the Conventiop to
order, ho said:
lie desired that they should call to
mind, above and before all things, the good
old days of the Democracy and the glori
ous era of true Democratic principles.
We have, ‘-no new theories to alzance,
no new depirture to take, but we mean to
take our stand on
ME UN'MUTILATED CONSTITUTION'.”
With such old and true principles to
stand upon, and such an old and tried
Democrat, Statesman and Patriot, as Gov
ernor Joel Parker to lead theai, the Demo
eratie pariy of New Jersey is almost suro
of success.
Ilis nomination was received by the
Democracy throughout the State with the
liveliest enthusiasm, while the Republicans
shook their heads in sorrowing uneasiness.
SAD AFFAIR.
A very sad occurrence took place in
Washington county on last Saturday. Mr.
Seaton Grantland was killed by his father-
in-law, Dr. W. W. Carr. The Macon Tel
egraph publishes the following:
We have indefinite particulars of a most
unfortunate and fatal affair which trans
pired ou Saturday last, at the residence of
Dr. W. Carr, near Sandersville, Washi
ton county. It appears that Dr. Carr and
his son-in-law, Mr. Seaton Graatlind (Du-
Bignon), had a few angry words between
them in regard to the attendance of o
physician who had been summoned to see
Mrs. Grantland, who was sick. The quar
rel originated at Dr. Carr’s residence, and
soon after Grantland left the house, and
had proceeded some fifty or ono hundred
yards, ho was followed by Dr. Carr, when
a fight ensued, it is thought (as no one
witnessed the difficulty), in which Grant-
land . was shot and almot instantly killed,
Doth parties are well known here to
many of our citizens and both occupied high
social positions iu life.
Deceased was christened after birth as
Seaton Grantland DuBignon, but by act of
the Legislature DuBignon was dropped
XJis remains were buried on Monday last
in the Milledgeville Cemetery. The un
fortunate affair is genorally lamented and
has produced a gloom iu the hearts of many
relatives and friends. The foregoing ^ is
given as it was reported to us, hut our in-
formaut was not certain as to some of th
minor details of the affair.
The Atlanta Sun publ'shes the following
We learn from a private source, that on
the morning-of the 9tli iust., Mr. Seaton
Grantland DuBignon (grandson of the
late Seaten^Grghtland^, was shot and killed
by his fatlitTrip-law, Dr. Carr. This oc
curred in Washington', where both parties
resided. We have not heard the fall par
ticulars of this bloody affair, but under
stand that a bad feeling has existed be
tween them for some time, also that the
verdict of a coroner’s jury returned that
Dr. Carr killed Mr. DuBignon in self-de
fense.. ..... .
We regret exceedingly to chronicle
s.ucli unnatural occurrences as this, and it
is a matter of deep regret that they are be
coming so common. Both these gentlemen
occupied fine social positions in their neigh
borhood. j -Ir (

Delivered m Jachsonvill:, Ala., Aug. 24.
Ladies and Gentlemen.—As I am
quite out of tho habit of public speaking
and have no written discourse prepared for
this occasion, I shall be obliged to depend
entirely upon the impulse and suggestin's
of the moment for many of the thoughts
which I may express, as well as for the
order and arrangement which I may pur
sue in their delivery. Under these cir
cumstances, and the embarrassment inci
dent to my position, I dare not hope that 1
shall be able to do justice to the subject to
be considered, nor even to my own imper-
feot conception of it. I must therefore
throw myself upon your indulgence, and
entreat you to hear me witn patience, and
kindly to excuse me wherein I may fall be
low your expectations, or the dignity and
importance of the subject.
Jacksonville is not unfrequently re
proached for its want of enterprise, and
the lethargy and inaction of its people.
There is indeed a wide-spread, an all pre-
vading sciritof speculation, a restless spirit
of trade ail over the land. Almost ev
ery town and village is striving to become
a commercial centre, a manufacturing cen
tre, or a Railroad centre. To develope
resources, is the stereotyped phrase of the
times. It is iu the mouths of all, and es
pecially of a vast/.multitude of projectors
and swindlers seeking to arrive at sudden
wealth by other means than honest indus
try. You might perhaps make Jackson
ville a commercial centre, or a Railroad
centre; hut you can do something infinite
ly better, something immeasurable more
desirable than any, or all of these thing!
You can make Jacksonville an educational
centre, a centre of learning—a centre of
high intellectual and moral training. Thor
ough bred horses and cattle are receiving
great attention, and great efforts are being
made to improve the stock; but thorough
bred, highly educated, accomplished and
virtuous men are immeasurably more de
sirable, and worthy of incalculably higher
effort. Ont of the wreck of your private
fortunes gathered np since the close of a
war, wasteful, ruthless and bloody beyond
all historical precedent, you have contribu
ted many thousands for the erection of
nobie institution oflearning. The spacious
and tasteful building which crowns and
adorns yonder hill, proves that you are
alive to the best, the highest, and the
holiest interests of society. What other
village of 1500 inhabitants can answer to
tho charge of lethargy and inaction by
pointing to a nobler monument of the en
terprising, liberal and enlightened spirit
of its people?
Called by a vote of the Trustees to fill
an important position in the new institu
tion, I am about to enter upon the arduous
and highly responsible work of educalin
your sons. Such a position brings me into
an interesting relation with a numbor of
these here assembled. Before enterin
upon the duties and assuming the rispon
sibilitics of that position, I have consider
ed it eminently proper that I should seek
an opportunity for expressing myself to yon
fully, frankly'and freely, as to the nature
of those duties and responsibilities. I
propose therefore to speak to you about ed
ucation. By this term, however, I do not
mean that amount of attainments, more
less, which it is generally used to dcsig
nate. The value and importance of edu
cation have doubtless been often discussed
iD your hearing. It has been the theme of
a vast amount, of every varied style of dec
lamation. It ha3 been, already, every
where, discussed ad nauseam. The advan
tages, value and importance of education
are understood, and universally admitted
What I wish to do at present, is, to speak
of education as a work to be done. I shall
endeavor first to give a brief description of
the subject or recipient of this work. Sec
ond!y of the character or nature of the
work, and how it should be done; and in
the last place the agent by whom it is to
be done, and the qualifications necessary
for its effectual and proper performance.
Whatthen is that thing which is to
the recipient or subject of education?
is that wonderful and mysterious thing the
human mind, that spark of the Divinity
within us—that emanation from the Divine
Mind, created by God in his own express
image, fearfully and wonderfully made.
Philosophers have studied its nature, and
have attempted to classify its powers, its
passions, and its sentiments. They tell us
it is endowed with Perception, Reflection.
Comparison, Imagination, Memory, Will,
Consciousness, Reason, Judgement- Senti
ments, Feelings and Conscience. In a
word, with what they term Intellectual
powers, and Moral Sentiments, with crea
tive imagination, ' moving will, agitating
passions, regulating reason, and warning
conscience. Such is a feeble description of
the subject of education. If not satisfac
tory, it is sufficient to show that it is of an
exceedinglv complex and subtle nature.
To educate, is to draw out, exercise,
strengthen and discipline tho intellectual
powers, to instruct and enlighten the con
science, strengthen the moral sentiments,
and bring the will and the parsions under
the control of reason, in order that the
recipient may be qualified in the highest
degree for tho ready perception, and reso
lute performance of all his duties.
I call says Milton, “a complete and gen
erous education that which fits a man to
perform justly, skilfully, and magnanimous
ly, all the offices, both private and pnblic,
of peace and war.”
Surely then there can be no work more
important, whether we regard it in its re
lations to individual or social interests.
No avocation known among men involves
higher responsibilities, or requires higher
qualifications. He who is not fully ac
quainted with these responsibilities, and
thoroughly alive to them is unfit to teach,
no matter how great his learning, or varied
his attainments. When we consider the
nature of the mind, its numerous and won
derful powers, the highly complex and
varied nature of its endowments, he mnst
be pronounced a bold man, who can ap
proach the word of educating it without a
deep sense of the delicacy, the difficulty,
and the solemnity of the task ho is abont
to undertake. Here, nothing but stolid
ignorance can beget, or account for arro
gant presumption.
I have said the intellectual powers are to
be educated, drawn out, broughtinto action,
exercised disciplined and strengthened.
How is this to be done? The first and
indispensable step is, to ascertain tho pre
cise amount of power the pupil has to be
gin with. Here, instead of finding all
equal, we shall find the widest differences;
scarcely any two being in all respects
exact equals They must be taken .os wo
find them, and dealt with skilfully accor
ding to their strength. The work to be
done by each, must not only ho intended to
bring his powers into action, but must be
wisely and justly proportioned to the powers
he has. It must bo sufficient to demand
a fall and fair exercise of them, hut not to
over tax or oppress them. It will be found
that these powers will grow in strength by
regular and vigorous exercise. They will
carry heavier and heavier burthens, ac
complish greater and greater results,. the
longer they are skilfully directed, trained
and disciplined. Tho magnet will, to-day
sustain a given weight. To-morrow it will
carry a few grains or ounces more; and the
day after still an additional weight. By
the exercise of power there is a continual
increment of power. So it is with the
powers of the human mind. This work of
training the mental powers should be con
ducted, not only with great judgement and
skill, but with unremitting vigilance.
The pupil should not he permitted to es
cape without a full, fair, honest and .earn
est exertion of all his powers from day to
be
day, No aid should be sought or given, to
lighten a load ho can carry himself, and
ought to carry if he can. There is much
and serious error here in books, iu teach
ers and in out-sides. Too much help—
help to do what the pupil ought to do? and
must do, if he ever becomes thoroughly
and highly educated;, if his mental powers
are ever fairly and fully developed. Here
too, there is a general misconception of the
duty of a good teacher. Everybody says
the teacher ought to help to cary the bur
thens ho imposes—be should explain, sim
plify make easy. All this only defeats the
grand objsctat which the trae and skilful
teacher chiefly aims, to draw oat, discip
line and strengthen the mental powers. If
he is fit for his work, he has taken the men
tal stature of hi3 pupil. He has given
him that to do which his knowledge of his
powerslcads him to believe he can do, and
no ill-judged help should be given to re
lieve him from the duty of an honest and
earnest exercise of them. If help should
be given it should be only after the teacher
is fully satisfied that his pupil, by a fair
excretion of his powers, is unable to ac
complish the work he has given him.- Even
then, tho teacher should be the judge of
the amount and kind of aid to be given.
Thus far, I have spoken more particu
larly of the education of the intellectual
faculties. The moral sentiments are, at
all times and upon all occasions, as oppor
tunity occurs, to be enlightened. Vice,
with its inevitable train ol disgrace, misery
and ruin, should be held up to abhorence.
Habitual truth and justice should be in
culcated by precept, and exhibited by ex
ample. Diligence, industry, punctuality,
patience, consistency and impartiality;
habitual politeness and the love of decency
and good order, should all shine forth, not
only in timely and oft repeated precepts,
but be exhibited daily and hourly in all
the teacher says and does. Pupils, in the
language of Milton in his tract on educa
tion, should bo “won and seasoned early to
the love of virtue ana true labor." The
teacher should strive unceasingly to “lead
and draw them in willing obedience, in
flamed with the study oflearning and the
admiration of virtue; stirred up with high
hopes oflearning to be brave men and
worthy patriots, dear to God and famous to
all ages. That they may despise and 3Com
all their childish and ill-taught qualities, lo
delight in manly and liberal exercises,
which he who has tho art and proper elo
quence to catch them with, what with mild
and effectual persuasions, and with the in
timation of some fear, if need be, but chief
ly by his own example, might, in a short
space, gain them to an incredible diligence
and courage; infusing into their young
hearts such an ingenious and noble ardor,
as would not fail to make many of them
renowned and matchless men."
Sachin language as concise and com
prehensive as I am able to use, is the ar
duous and noble work to be done, and such
in my opinion is a brief ont-'.ineofthc man
ner in which it should be done.
By whom, now shall it be done; or rather
let me. ask, who is fully qualified to do
it? And what are the qualifications in
dispensably necessary lor its proper and
effectual performance ? It is a common,
and a very mischievous error, to suppose
that any one who has a certain amount
of attainments, is qualified to teaeh up to
the full measure of those attainments.
That whoever can spell np to “crucifix
may teach up to crucifix.” And one may
tamper with that delicato and complex or
ganism, the yonng human mind. Any
one may lay in it, the foundation, that
unimportant part of this most important
work. Any one may impress it when it is
most easily and deeply, impressible. Any
one may stand forth its exemplcr when it
is most intensely and exclusively imitative.
Any one may impart habits of intontlion
and pronunciation, when it is surest to
catch and retain them. It is generally
thought to be easy work—cheap work—
work which anybody can do, and there
seems to be an almost universal desire to
employ those who are considered cheap
workmen. It is doubtless low-priced, cut
often very dear work. Bat mocey paid
forbad work—for work often worse than
valueless, for work positively injurious,
for time lost in the acquisition of had
habits is worse than thrown away. It
is paid, not for anj benefit, but for an
injury.
Doubtless some persons ofmoderate, very
moderate at ainmentst arc good teaches as
far as they go, but the numbtr of such is
smalll—very small. No one indeed can
teach without attainments, but attainments
alone, no matter to what extent do not, and
can no', qualify a man for the skillful and
effectual performance of this work. He
must have qualifications neither derived,
nor derivable from book.", or lectures, or
normal schools; qualifications derived from
a far higher source. These qualifications
must be born with him, or at any rate the
germs of them. They are inherent, incom-
municablc, ineradicable. So many, so im
portant, and so indispensable are these
qualifications, that the true teacher, like
the true Poet or the true Orator may tru
ly be said to be born. Without these natu
ral endowments of temper, mind and char
acter, no amount oflearning, no length of
laborious training in normal schools or else
where, can make a true teacher. Let me
attempt to amplify a little upon this impor
tant point-. Let mo point out some of these
inborn qualifications ofthe true teacher. I
say then, that the true teacher must have
dignity of person and character. There
must be something in his aspect and coun
tenance; in his deportment anu manner of
addresB, which commands attention, and
awes into respect and obedience. He must
have strong will, and masculine energy of
character, to back up, and carry out, should
occasiou demand it. what his dignity of as
pect, person and character has promised.
He must have an inbred perception, and an
Invincible love ol order. Without this, he
will only tolerate disorder in his school; bat
will exhibit it in his own conduct.
Ha must have an ardent, ever active and
unconquerable lovo for truth and justice,
standing out in bold relief, as leading ele
ments of his character. He must have,
and ever exhibit immovable firmness and
consistency; stern impartiality, unwearied
patience, vigorous punctuality, untiring en
ergy and ceaseless industry. lie must
have a profound and intuitivo perception of
temperament and character. Hctuustbea
first rate judge of human nature.
Behind all these stern and masculine
qualities, ho should have, and exhibit a
high and delicate sense of honor, a warm,
compassionate and generous heart, which a
good and faithful pupil may confidently
hope to impress. The approbation aod
praise of such a teacher will stir the hearts
of his pupils,and quicken all their energies.
Where now is the maD, who, with the
necessary amount of learning, may justly
lay claim to all, or many of these high qual
ities. Wherever to be found, he is the
true, the accomplished, the gifted, the born
teacher. He is a rat* man, and of grea
value, whenever or wherever you find him.
His services are cheap at almost any price.
Having now, with all possible brevity,
as the time allowed me seemed to require,
given you my views as to the nature of the
work of education—of the subject or recip
ient of this work, and of the character, at
tainments and qualifications of the tin
teacher, allow me to remark, outside influ
ences which operate very powerful to ad
vance or retard, to promote or defeat the
work of education, even in the most skilful
and energetic hands.
The teacher should have the confidence
and the co-operation of the community
wherein he labors, and especially of his
immediate patrons—the parents of his pu
pils. Every body knows, or ought to know
that boys are surrounded by many inflnen-
ces, to them highly seductive, which often
causejthem to fall short in the performance
of their duties; and sometimes precipitate
them into gross violations of discipline.
The teacher is called upon to' vindicate his
authority and maintain his government.
For, as a man of great distinction in English
literature has expressed it, the good teach
er—“is, and will be known to be, an abso
lute monarch in his school." Punishment
in some form becomes indispensable. With
out it, there is no law; there can be none.
Without the vindicatory part, what would
be law, sinks into an idle, inefficient, nega
tory precept, to the good unnecessary; by
the bad, scorned and trampled underfoot.
The school boy, like all other offenders,
whether against hnman or divine laws,
seeks for justification and sympathy wher
ever he can find it, and -'specially at home,
from his par ents. lie Datnrally takes a
most charitable view of his own Case, and
presents it to his parents in the most favor
able light, colored up, and set off, so as to
wia their approbation and sympathy.
Have you, mothers and fatheis, well and
duly considered, and carefully made up
your minds as to what justice to the teach
er, duty to your children, duty to God who
gave them to you, require at your hands
under such circumstances? If you con
demn the teacher unheard, you set your
child an example of precipitate, and proba
bly unjust judgment. If ho has given a
wrong coloring to his case, if he has neglect
ed to state the whole naked truth, this de-
partuie from candor and strict truth have
accomplished his purpose. Vice, the fear
ful rice of falsehood has made un entrance.
His character has contracted a stain—the
purity of his soul has received a taint, the
serpent has entered the garden. Who
shall caloulate the consequences! Beware
then I pray you, of any exhibition, even of
sympathy under such circumstances!
Here then let me declare to you with
entire candor, and with all possible empha
sis, that I have no sympathy with, or res
pect for that prurient sentimentality—that
pestilent affectation of superior civilization,
that rascally rarefaction of pre-ter-plu-per-
fcct refinement, which rejects altogether
what the wisdom of Solomon plainly rec
ommends, and the experience of the wisest
and best men, in the most virtuous age of
every civilized state, ancient and modem,
has demonstrated to be absolutely necessary
—the rod. No good man ever inflicts pun
ishment of any sort, except from a sense of
duty, acd for purposes of reformation. For
myself, let me say that I have never resort
ed to it bnt from a firm conviction oi its
necessity, and after exhausting all other
means. Even then it has been afflicted in
sorrow, not in anger. A good man always
shares the pain he feels constrained to af
flict. From the views expressed here to
night by my coadjntor as well as to mo per
sonally upon this point, I am glad to fiod
we are here in perfect unison.
I have already said the good teacher
should have certain qualities which he can
not get from books. Many of those quali
ties are indispensable in establishing and
maintaining good order, without which,
nothiog can be done which will accomplish
valuable results. Prominent among these
qualities is unvarying consistency. He
should hold the reins of his government
steadily and firmly at one unvarying de
gree of tension. There must be no wa
vering, no vaccination,no fickleness. He
should not only be just, hat it should be
obvious to every pupil, that'his very heart
within him glows acd burns with a con
stant and an inextinguishable love of Im
partiality, Truth and Justice. The con
stat t unvarying, long-' ontinued exhibition
of these high qualities, scats him firmly in
his government; and establishes it upon
the only proper, or durable basis of all hu
man governments, the confidence, the res
pect and the attachment of the govorned.
Seeing, admiring, loving these high mor
al qualities as exhibited in the conduct ol
a good and trne teacher, observing the val
uable results wrought out by them in the
practical administration of haman affairs,
his pupils learn here, silently indeed but
most impressively, a grand moral lesson of
incalculable value. This is pointing and
leading the way to a useful, virtuous and
glorious life. This is the way to make many
of them perhaps “renowned and match
less men.” If any man were my enemy,
and yet should commit to me a trust so sa
cred as the education of his child, I should
not only make him a base return, I should
demonstrate myself to be worthy of univer
sal scorn, I should scorn myself, if, the mo
ment that child stepped over the threshold
of my door, ho did not stand upon a foot
ing of perfect equality, in every respect,
with the child ofthe dearest friend I have
on earth. If any man doubts the perfect
sincerity with which I make this avowal,
or my ability to act upon it, and up to it,
let such a man by all means withhold his
patronage.
I have now nearly fulfilled, imperfectly
I confess, the purpose for which this meet
ing was called. It was called at my sug
gestion. I desiro to bring abont, as far
as it lies in my power “a union of all heads
and all hearts" upon a well defined, and
well understood plan of action, for the
good of onr boys, and the success, prosper
ity and usefulness of our young Institution.
To this end, I thought there should be a
full and clear understanding at the start,
especially between teachers and parents.
I have aimed at no display, indulged iu
no rhetorical flourishes, no “florid prose,”
no “honied linesof rhyme." Ihavespoken
to you plainly, iu honest downright Eng
lish, beoauso I am in earnest, and desire
above everything, ia relation to “Calhoun
College” that there shall be had on all
bands, a clear understanding, as a means
of securing cordial and united action.
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen—
Fathers, Mothers, one and all, may I not
rely with confidence upon your cordial co
operation in the arduous yet noble work
which I am about to undertake? I shall
enter upon it, as I trust, with becoming
diffidence, modesty and humility; yet not
without the resolute purpose to dischargo
all its duties to the utmost of my humble
ability. It is in the power of all to give
some assistance. The work of education
is by no means confined to the school room.
There is a sort of social education going on
at all times iu every community. The
language, manners and habits prevalent in
any community are imp eased, often indeL
libly impressed, upon those reared up in it,
or long subjected to its influence. Let us
all then strive earnestly to surround onr
young Institution with inflnences morally
as pnre, healthful, and invigorating to the
character of its pnpils, as a kind Provi
dence has made our genial mountain atmos
phere, conducive to the health. and vigor
of their bodies.

poses an octave system, whereby unites
shall be divided into eighths instead of
tenths, as being the more easy, because it
is capable of a natural division and mnlti-
19-16; whereas the actave representation
of 100, or 64, may be halved thus: 32,16,
8, 4, 2, and 1; no fractional parts are
necessary, each half being a pnre whole
number. He further proposes to nse the
ordinary numerals np to 7, then be will
symbolize eighths by 10, 20, and so on;
sixty-foars by 100,200, dee., and fractions
by 06, 07, Ac. This is decidedly novel,
and very plausible. As to onr correspon
dent’s argument that it would do away
with mnch fractional work, we quite agree
with him, altbo’ we are afraid the world
will not easily adopt it; at any rate, we
think it is well worthy of attention, so we
have published it for the criticism of onr
readers.
AN IMPORTANT FINANCIAL MOVE
MENT, SOMETHING VERT MUCH
HEEDED.
Feeling the great lack of monied facili
ties in onr city, and appreciating the safety
and profit of such investments, some of onr
leading citizens headed by onr energetic
friend Capt. ArcLey Griffith, have deter
mined to establish a National Bank with a
capital of8100,000.
The operations of thase banks are safe,
and profitable. The capital is secured by
a deposit of U. S. Bonds, drawing interest,
payable semi-annaly, and thns the pnblic is
indemnified from the patibility of loss, and
the bank in stead of carrying in its vaults
dead capital as a basis of credit, has an
actual interest drawing capital.
The advantages accruing to the banks
are great, while to this is 1 added immunity
from txation, either State or Federal.
It requires no argument to convince a
business man of the profitable nature of the
investment, while all are sensible of the
great need of such an institution in onr
city, to snpply the means of prosecuting
onr works, and to advance onr commercial
prosperity.
There ean be no more safe and profi
table investment made, than stock in each
a bank. And we do hope that all who have
money in hand will invest it at onoe. It
is much better than holding it at home in
idleness. Subscription Books are now
opened at the office of Griffeth, and Cley-
tons Banking establishment; any one wish
ing to see the act antborizing the forma
tion of National Banks, can do so by call
ing at onroffiee.

THE PRESIDENT AFTER GBEELY.
The venerable philosopher of the Tri
bune, and sage of Cbapeqnea, Horace Gree-
ly started on a tour ont West a week ago.
Grant fearing that the sage would grind
an axe of his own, posted off after him,
and is now following np his steps, and tel

THE KU KXUX IN WASHINGTON.
On the 29th of last month, Miss Frances
Butler, youngest danghterof the late Pierce
Bntler, Esq., of Philadelphia, was married
to the Hon. and Bev. James Wentworth
Leigh, Vicar of Stoneleigh and third son
of the late Lord Leigh. The marriage cer
emony was performed at St. Thoma’a
Church, London, by the brother-in-law of
the bridegroom, the venerable Archdeacon
Lord Saye and Sele. The bride was at
tended by eight bridesmaids, fonr of them
being English and four American. The
bride was given away by Bear Admiral
Thomas Turner, U. S. N.
Among those present were the mother of
the bride, Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble. Dr.
and Mrs. Owen Wister, Mr.' and Mrs.
Pratt McKean and the Misses Ingerroll, of
Philadelphia.— Gospel Messenger.
The Hon. and Bev. James Wentworth
Leigh was last year the guest in this conn-

invited to be present at the wedding, and
perform the ceremony.
Both the bride and bridesgroom bare
many friends on this side the Atlantic,
who will bid them God’s blessing, through
all their wedded life.—Eds. Banner.
The Harper Tragedy.
“All the world’s a school,
And all the men and women merely teachers
At first the infant crying in its mothers arms,
Presents the picture of a yonng disciple #
Leaning in its teacher's lap.
And then the whining school boy,
With his satchel and his shining morning face.
Creeping like a snail unwillingly to school)
And here he learns to rend and write,—to parse
and fight.
The college walls confine him next, whence
Filled with classic lore, he gees to mingle with
the world,
A university of busy action.
Men ever learn and teach, and give and take,
they bless
•Or corse ns they are trained to virtue or to
vice.”
In conclusion let ns invoke above and be
yond all other aid, tbe countenance, the
support, and the blessingof Him whose wis
dom and power laid tbe foundation of all
learning and science; wbose_ glorious attri

The newspapers for some time back have
been fall of Old John Harper,and the Sarato
ga and Long Branch races bars made him
and his horses ns well known in all parts of
the Union as they have been in Kentocky
for the last twenty five years. This notoriety
will lend a fleeter and wider currency to the
terrible tragedy at his house, which is recor
ded in onr telegraphic columns.
On Saturday last he went with his stable
to Lexington,leaving his older brother, Jacob
Harper, and an elder Bister, Miss Betsy Har
per, at home. On Monday morning, two of
the negro servants went into the rooms ofthe
two old people to “set things to rights.” The
one who went into Jacob Harper’s room
soon entered Miss Betsy 1 s room, and informed
the servant employed there that she believed
“Mas Jacob" had been murdered. Throwing
open the window shutters they discOTerec.
with blcxxf from numerous wounds on her
head. They then ioand Jacob Harper inthe
adjoining room, lying dead across his bed,
bis skull terribly crashed ns with repeated
blows from the pole of an axe, and his body
in such a position as if he had been alarmeil
by some one entering through the window by
ms bed side, and had been struck down in
the act of getting ont of bed.
Mr. Wallace Harper, a nephew redding in
the neighborhood, was sentfor. He summon
ed a physician and sent a telegram to his
ancle in Lexington. Miss Betsy, daring the
day, rallied sufficiently to answer rationally
some questions which were asked her by the
neighbors, bnt when asked abont the assault
upon herself and J aeob, she said that neither
she nor Jacob had been molested. She had
received six or seven Mows on the head from
the some weapon used in the murder of her
brother, bnt the physician in attendance
hopes that she may survive, or at least recover
sufficiently to throw some tight on the affair.
4 Vn old ue with a short handle, used abont
the place,,was found covered with blood, .and
a short belonging to one or the negro men
employed on the farm was found with a
single spot of blood on it. These and other
circumstances led to the arrest of two or
three, of the negroes, bnt nothing clearly indi
cating tbe perpetrator had been discovered
when onr informant, one of Mr. Harper’s
neighbors, left for this rity yesterday.—Lou
isville Ledger, 12
The congressional Ku Klox met again
yesterday in solemn oonclave at Washington.
They have on hand the report of the Sub
committees appointed to examine into tbe
finanoial condition of the reconstructed
States. They will also overhaul the elec
tion laws, of the rebel states, and if they
are not radical enough, they will be Kn
Kloxed. We may expect rieh develop
ments from this gathering of the Man.
NORTH AND SOUTH RAILROAD.
Meeting and Barbecue at LaGrange.
We have received an invitation to at
tend a grand Barbecue, and Baiiroad Meet
ing at LaGrange, on the 26th inst., in the
interest of the North and South Baiiroad,
Onr friends at LaGrange, and all along on
the lower end of the tine are at work in
good earnest. Success is almost obliged
to follow these efforts. We wish them a
good time at the Barbecue, and will attend

Grinding WnxAT 'Without Millstones.—
At a recent meeting in Edinburgh of the Brit
ish Assosiation of Science, a paper was read
by Mr. Thomas Carr upon a new mill for
grinding wheat It is described as reducing
wheat by percussion, while it is unsupported
and being, projected through the air. When
the wheat passes through the machine, it is
struck by a series of bars moving swiftly in
opposite directions. They rednee the wheat
so instantaneously, to a state ready for bolt
ing, that no injurious beat is caused, and
consequently the floor is of mnch superior
quality to that obtained by the nsnal way of
grinding, and also at a mnch less 0061. An
Edinburgh firm has one of these disintegra
ting floor mills in frill operation, and the ad
vantages in its favor over the millstones if
supersedes, are painted ont in Mr. Carr’s pa
per. It rarely needs repairing in oomparison
with the other millstones; requires fewer
men, and thus saves in wages; is free from
loss by scorching, and thus saves fire insur
ance; occupies less space, and requires lean
driving power; and in addition to all this,
produces a better quality of flour.'

An Outrage.—We 'regret to learn
that a most cowardly, aod brutal outrage
was perpetrated in Walker connty last Tues
day night. A man by the name of Hep-
tenstall, with his wife and son, were taken-
from the house, and severely whiped by a
mob; after whieh a gentleman named Moore
was also visited, and; a tike indignity in
flicted upon him.
The affair creates the greatest indigna
tion among the citizens, and we hear that,
an indignation meeting will be called to
condemn, and denounce the ontrage, aod its
perpetrators.
It’ia said that Heptenstall is a worthless
character, hut Mr. Moore is a respeetihle,
and worthy citizen. W» hope the per-
petrators of tho ontrage will be found out,
and spetdily brought to justice.

Mrs. Vic President:—Tbe modest
Presidential aspirations of Mrs. Victoria
Woodhull have already been gratified. Sbe
has been elected President of tbe National
Association of Spiritualists. Whether it is
the spirits of the vasty deep, or “inspiring
bold John Barleycorn," the dispatches say-
eth not,but we suppose it is the latter.
Another Tresury Defalcation.—A
Major Hodge, connected with the war de
partment, confesses a defalcation to the
amount of $450,000. And to excuse him
self, implicates a prominent Banking
House in New York. This little amonnt
will be sufficient to make the affair respect
able, and Major Hodge has pnt himself in
the line of speedy promotion.
The dispatches tell os that Billy Pather-
son, not he whom the illustrious unknown
Btruck, bnt General Bnfort’s through bred
Billy Patterson, won the first race over tbe
Lexington coarse. The following is the
time made: First time Billy Patterson, 1.
491, and 1.50. Second, Nellis Gray, 1.-
501, and 1.541.
Pretty close running, and bird’s eye

Charleston. —The pleasingintelligence
still comes that the yellow fever in Charles
ton has ceased to be apprehensive. 'On the
19th there was only one death.
The Board ot Health after a thorough
examination of eight wards, publish the
following statement: Tbe reports from the
various wards show the city to be in a re
markable healthy condition, even compared
with years when no yellow fever existed.
The nnmber of cases of yellow fever in
course of treatment does not exceed two in
each ward, and the nnmber of persons
rick from other causes is astonishingly few.

Departed this life September, the 5th, 1871.
Mr. Aquila Phelps in the 83d year of his
age. All of his long and usefnl life has
been spent.in Georgia ;bis adopted State. He
was born in Roan County, North Carolina,
December 12th, 1789. Afterwards removed
to Jasper County, and from thence to Floyd,
where he remained until his death. In all
walks of life his conduct was such as to com
mand the respect of all with whom he was
acquainted. He was indeed a kind hus
band, and an affectionate father, and a good
neighbor. He was loved and highly regard
ed by aiL His memory will long be cher
ished, especially by his neighbors with whom
he was most intimately acquainted. We
sympathize with the bereaved family.
He had never attached himself to any
branch of the Christian Charcb, yet we can
bat hope on account of his exemplary life,
that he has gone to enjoy that rest, that re
mains for the people of God.

Sunday School Bone. 1
M. E. Cnrncn South. !•
Bone, Ga., Sept. 15tb, 1871. j
The Superintendent haring brought to the
notice of the school, the sadden death of Dr.
I. A Thomas, one of the members and a
teacher in the school.
On motion J. I. Wright, M. A. Nevin, and
B. T. Hargrove, were appointed a Committee
to draft and-present suitable resolutions, in
relation thereto.
In obedience to such appointment your
committee beg leave to submit the following
report. Dr. I. A. Thomas was killed by
collision of Bui way Train on the Lonisville
and Nashville Kail Road, near Louisville, on
Thursday the 7th inst. Only a day or two
before he left hb home, full of life, and hope,
expecting to return in a few weeks -to
the society of friends and loved ones. Bat
how suddenly! Oh, how suddenly, are the
brightest hopes blasted—and forever.
Scarcely hod the affectionate “good bye,
ceased to echo, abont the sacred precincts of
home, until with electric speed, the news
came. "Dr. Thomas b dead," and then how
particularly, hope and fear alternate.
“Perhaps he b not dead,” maby he b only
wounded, bnt alas it was true, he was dead.
Dr. Thomas was a good citizen, highly res
pected by all who knew him. He was
member of the M. E. Charcb South, and deport
ed himself always ms a Christian gentleman.
He was a teacher of one of the classes in onr
Sunday Shool, and though prevented fora
time from punctual attendance upon the
school, he had recently so arranged hb
affairs as to attend regularly. The.Iast Sab
bath spent on earth, was in the Sabbath
School and church of hb Choice. How sad
den thetranrition. In the relations ofhusband
and father, he was exceedingly kind and af
fectionate. Onr loss b irreparable, we trust
hb gun b eternal.
Resolved. That we bow with humble
submission to this dispensation of our Heav
enly Father recognizing hb right to rule
over, and dispose of us, as seemeth good in
