Wo lind wriltoh a notice of the “ takirrer off”
of Capt. J. H. limiter, tbo gallant ox-Repre-
aoniatlve of Brooks county, who was assault
ed on election day by two brutal negroes, and
stabbed fa*ally as was feared at the time.
Wo are pleased to learn that his cousin in
this place, (Mr. S. M. Hunter) received a tel
egram on Saturday afternoon, to the effect
that Capt. n. was still alive and getting much
belter—so that there is now a reasonable hope
of his recovery. A messenger was at once
dispatched to bear the joyful tidings to bis
lather in Jackson county.
Prepare for the Next Contest.
The Congressional election will take place
the first week in November. There is great
danger that, flushed with their recent victory,
the Democracy, confident in their strength
and the justice of their cause, will fail to turn
out iu full force nu that day.
Wo iniso our voice of warning in ample
time, and conjure every Democrat to be sure
to turn out on that day. I.rt there ho no fall
ing off in the vote, hut let our candidates every

Judge O'Neal having accused Mr. Solicitor
Speer of saying, in his speech at Gainesville
that he (the said O'Neal) visited the capital
in Atlanta without either pants or drawers on
—which statement the Judge denounces as an
infernal lie—Mr. Speer publishes a card in the
last Gainesville Eagle, in which ho says
•• The Honorable gentleman mis quotes niv
language that he may deny it. 1 did not
charge him with showing himself on the streets
and in tho State House in Atlanta without
his pants and drawers ; I only charged him
with appearing on tho streets and in tho State
House in Atlanta in his shirt tail."
“ Oglrtlio-pe Echo.”
Such is the title of a new paper just com
menced at Crawford, (Lexington depot,) six
teen miles below this city, bv Mr. T. L Gantt,
late junior partner in tbo Northeast Georgian.
Tho " "Echo" is a very neatly printed sheet ,
and Mr. Gantt is a very clover and industrious
young man.
Speaking of the Echo, wo copy from it tho
following anecdote, which will be recognized
by all our citizen^:
Scarcely a man exists in Athens who has not,
some time or other, received a share of Jim
Snye's dry wit, for ho spares no one. The best
thing, however, he ever "got off" was the
manner In which he served a Yankee nflieer
shortly after the war. Tho officer (a Major)
dasl e l tip to Cohen's store, dismounted, and
throwing his reins to Jim, who was seated on
tho sidewalk, demanded, in a very authorativo
manner:
" Watch my horse, sir !"
" V v-v ory w-p o-11. s i-r," meekly replied
Jim, who did not deign to touch the reins
Yanl: strutted into the store, and the horse,
seeing himself at liberty, began to slowly walk
away. Before lie had reached Bishop’s store,
however, he dashed around tho cornel at full
speed. The Yankoe having finished his pur
chases, camo out just iu time to see the rear
end of his stood disappear. In great excite
ment. ho asked of Save, who sat innocently
gazing up the street :
" I thought I told you to watch my horse,
sir 1" t
" I d d-i d w-w-tc-aa t c lx b-h 1 tS,’ said
. Jim, " ’t-M-1 li e g n-t a-r o-n-n-d t li o c o-r-
li-o-r, n-n d l e o-u l d-n-'t a-e-o t-o»w-a-t-c-b
h-i-m •» n-y f-u-r-t-h-e-r.’
•Tis useless to say that Jim Sayo was never
asked to icatch that Yankee’s steed again.
Seventh District. ^
The troubles in this District have not yet
been settled- There is a call foranothernieet-
ing of the Executive Committee on the 14th
and Col Trammell has published a patriotic
letter, in which ho proposes to withdraw from
tho canvass, if his withdrawal can restore
Democratic unity.
It strikes us that it would bo bad policy to
attempt a change of candidates at this late day.
U Col. Trammell was fairly nominated, wo
cannot perceiro any good reasou why he
should sot ho elected.
A dispatch from Rome to the Atlanta Her
ald, of Saturday, says the tido there is rapidly
changing in bis favor, and this will probably
to on in other portions of the District. *
Since writing the above, wo seo by tbe At
lanta papers of Sunday, that Col. Trammell
has positively declined running, and Col. J.
W. Wofford, Chairman of the Democratic Ex-
exntive committee has called n new Conven
tion, to meet in Rome, or. tbe 19th of October.

*• We have to learn that one of the most
powerful ways of preaching the Gospel is to
king it. For the lost thirty years, our churches
bare bees going back in sacred music. We
bare been under servitude to tbo artistic tastes
of the world. In some of our churches, four
persons aro delegated to do this service 1 With

of glory. When you can die for me, and open
the gate of heaven to my departing soul, then
I will let yon do my singing. Oh, sing, ye
who are bought by love Divine, and who are
on the way to grandeur immortal, sing. While
I stand here and argue about tbe things of
eternity, yon may argue back again, and yon
may be more skillful in your argument against
religion than I am skillful in my argument for

ence, when, last Sunday night, this audience,

Mr. Editor:—I write you a few lines to say
that up in this section of Georgia we are very
much pleased with the communication in your
paper of tho 23d of September, in relation to
Reform, State Contention, tfc.,*' signed “ Old
Man.” Generally, the advice of old men is
very good. Do let us have a Convention, and
wipe out the "bayonet" Constitution, and
form one more in accordance with public senti
ment. The last Legislature acted very ar
rogantly in refusing to submit the question
whether we should have a Convention or not
to the people. The taxes are very high and
oppressive; and there ought to be some re
striction upon the extravagant expenditure of
the people's money by the Legislature.

Prof. Hunter.
Wo copy from the Union <£- Recorder tbe fol
lowing article in reference to Prof. Hunter’s
school at Midway, near Milledgoville. His
numerous friends hero will be pleased to learn
that be has commenced with such flatterin
prospects. Being one of the best educators in
tho Slate, and the location being a good one.
we seo no reason why a great school should
not be built up at that place :
B. T. Hunter's Talmage School.—A re
cent visit to this re-organized institution show
ed an amount of labor done to put the build
ings in thorough order significant of tbe de
termination ol Mr. Hunter and tbo friends of
tho school to make it achieve a decided sue
cess.
Rector Hunter and bis family reside in tho
main edifice, known iu former days as tho
Thalian building; and under tbe same great
roof will lodge, in tho numerous rooms, all of
the students whose homes are too distant to
enable them to return daily to residences.—
The school will thus bo conducted on the
Family-School plan—the safest for tbo good
training of tbe pupils in moral and intellectual
development. It will be emphatically a Home
School.
The scope of instruction to students will be
wide and varied, ascending from tbe lower
branches to those higher elements of learning,
qualifying them for entering advanced classes
of Collegiate instruction. Mr. Hunter, by the
bent of his natural genius, as well as by his
thorough education and experience as an in
structor, will be found imparting to his stu
dents practical lessons in Chemistry. Median
ical Philosophy, Mineralogy, Geology, and
other departments of applied science, such as
are taught in the Agricultural and Mechanical
Colleges established under the Land-Scrip law
of Congress. A working laboratory will be
kept in daily use for students, and a part of
their Gymnasium exercises will be supplied in
tho shape of labor with tools and materials in
the School Work-House. A small printing-
press is used to illustrate tho actual working
of affairs of this " fourth estate of the realm,”
in which “proof-corrections,'’ and many other
practical matters of this nature may be learn
ed. A telegraphic apparatus will also bo pro-
"VrOTICE.

A I ortlirnining Book.
While at Gainesville a week or two since.
Dr. Stephenson read to us the head-notes of a
new book he proposes issuing, tho title of wbicb
is, •• Tho Soul and tho Origin of Lifo." It is
brimful! of original and startling ideas, and
whether its teachings are truo or falso, they
are at least plausible, and tho work will be
read with much interest.
A gentleman of culture and a graduate of
tbo Philadelphia Medical College, writes as
follows ol the Doctor’s book
•• I have just read the head-notes of Dr.
Stephenson’s new work on the "Origin of Life
and the Soul,” and must confess that his ideas
on this all-important subject, and his proofs
are not only new and conclusive, but incontro
vertible. Ho differs with all authors, divines
and professors, in this country and Europe,
iind opens up to our wondering imagination
some of tbe most sublime and ploasing con
ceptions of tbo human mind
His arguments, nnd positive proofs, on genera
and sjwcies, aro unanswerable, and completely
overturn tho whole system of the “ unity of the
human race," which the clergy so persistently
adhoro to, in despite of the overwhelming
proofs every year gathered from the develop
ments of geology, anatomy, physiology, arebaa
ology, chemistry, and their cognate sciences.
His subject Decossarlly involves an exposi
tion of tbo first six chapters of Genesis, and
his arguments have entirely changed onr life
long views of tbe creation, 1 and the advent of
man and animals on earth. His theory ol
tbe formation of water, and its chemical con
stituents, disprove Schoenbien’s assertions that
ozone is material, and one of its* Constituents.
Ho shows it W> be only a modified form of
electricity, which, by God's providence, inter
venes, to prevent its raining continually.
We hope tbo work will be published soon,
as it involves several important discoveries in
science, which are indispensable to tbe well
being of man, not only here, but throughout
eternity. No author has given a satisfactory
or reasonable explanation of tbe soul, or the
origin of life, until this of Dr. Stephenson, in
which be clearly proves that the female of
man nor animals has anything whatever to do
with the origin of tbe life germ; bat she, and
she only, was created with power to secrete
tbe proper pabulum, from the food she eats, to
feed and support the embryo life-germ until
t$e placepta opened a communication with th'
tided, where practical telegraphy will be
taught to students desiring such knowledge.
With all theso advantages, Talmage School
cannot fail to be a decided success—especially
when it will be seen by the advertisement in
to day's paper that the terms aro as low as
those of ordinary schools in our towns and vil
lages. Boarding in Mr. Hunter’s family, where
a good table is kept, costs only 817 per month,
with no charge for room rent—the student
supplying his own room with necessary furni
ture. " Half-Boarders" are received at 810
per month—those who go to their homes on
Friday afternoon, and return on Monday morn
ing, spending tho entire school-iceek in tho in
stitution. Pupils who board altogether out of
tho institution will, of course, he received and
charged for’tuition alone. A good dining room
and a kitchen have been erected, and the
grounds given over to desolation, or at least to
desertion, for the past few years, will soon be
fragrant with flowers, and alive with ambitious
youths pressing forward up the Hill of Science
The elegant and substantial old Chapel
Building will ere long receive the needful
pairs. We spent a few thoughtful minutes in
the now desolate study chamber once occu
pied by the great and tho good Dr. S. K- Tal
mage ; one of his students iu by gone days)
related some interesting aroedotesof him.
Tbo Talmage School will open on to-mor
row, the 1st of October. Repairs and otlur
preparations were pushed forward with un
conquerable energy by Mr. R. H. Ramsay of
Midway, himself an able aud experienced ed
ucator.
We should have stated in its proper place
that ample attention will ha given in the Tal
madga School to instruction in tho ancient
languages, and in all other branches included
in the course pursued iu High Schools gener
ally. W. G. M.

WAGLEY & LOCKART,
Managers, Houston, Texas.
Comments of the Press.
See what St. Louis says of Texas Enterprise.
“ Tho L'»nc Star State is one of the garden spots of
tho continent. Xu land ou the earth is more produc
tive, and possessors of real estate property iu Toxhi
may look with cortainty for its rapid advancement id
value. A plan is on foot, which, although partaking
of the “distribution” idea, will give many a man a
good farm for an insignificant sura. The managers^
Messrs. Wagley &. Lockart, of Houston, are men of
high respectability and great business capacity, and
therefore reliah ; lity is assured.”—St. Louit liepub.
The Ter.aa Odd-Fellow also endorses the above, and
states:
“ From our long and favorable knowledge of the firm
wo take pleasure in commending them to the public as
honest, honorable gentlemen.”
And tho Galveston New* adds:
“ The distribution will comprise over 60,000 acres
of land, located in thirto-eight counties, and it is pro
raised by gentlemen, whose characters are equal to
those of any in the land, that they will be fairly, hon
estly and equitably distributed.”
And the Aije, of Houston, states :
A FIXE IMMIGRATION SCHEME.
W C Wagley and Robert Lockart, of the firm of Wag-
lqy A Lockart, are both prominent and reliable citi
zens of Houston. In their own right, and as author
ized agen"s, they hold subject to disposal some of the
most valuable rerl estate property in this city, and
thousand** of acres of land in the best sections of Texas.
Thesehetueembraces thedistribution of$300,000 worth
of Texas lands. They put into thedistribution the
brick buil ding on Main street, in this city,and in which
is the office of thin paper, valued at $18,000, and a
sploudid dwelling house on Rusk street (the “Filth
Avenue” of Houston,) and s veral hundred unimprov
ed building lots iu this growing young city. For the
small sum of three dollars, one takes tbe chance of
becoming the lawful owner of Texas property worth
from $300 to $18,000. So far as regards tbe standing
of the managers, that is a matter beyond the possibil
ity of cavil.”
The Teleyroph, of Houston, thus speaks of the dls
tribution: *,
“ The drawing will come oft on the 21st of December,
just in time for lots of people to get a substantial
‘Christmis gift.* Tbe card gives all the particulars
much better than we can write tdem, and we need only
give our readers tbe assurance that the managers are
men of standing and reliability.”
The lit raid, of Dallas, another growingeity of Tex
as, commends its advantages to the public thus:
11 We oa.n vouch for the responsibility of the firm,
and that all they promise they will perform. Tbs
scheme is an excellent one, in our opinion, as a means
of settling up our State and inviting immigration.”
Tho Htrald, Crockett. Texas, says :
“ The plan these gentlemen havo adopted, to sell the
large amount of land for which they are agents, is a
most commendable one. Tbe drawing will be eon-
ducted on the best plan that can be adopted, to secure
fairness t:o all. Messrs. Wagley A Lockart are old
Real Estate Agents of Houston, and are men wbo havo
a reputation for honesty and integrity.”
Kansan City Chronicle remarks:
*.* Wagl sy A Loo kart, of Houston, Texas, offer chances
to get a good farm in Texas for $3. It is a square
thing.”
Tbe Prete, Paris, Texas, remarks:
“ The well-known firm of Wagley A Lockart, the
largest Real Estate firm in the State, are tho origi*
nators of this soheme, by which thousands of acres
will be brought ioto use, and a large population add
ed.”
Tbe*Willis Ohterver states:
“ These gentlemen are too well known to need any
further endorsement of ours.” *
Tbe Ellis county Afoot, Texas,comments as follows:
“ These gentlemen are trustworthy and reliable.—
There is a chance for you to obtain a good home by
investing the small sum of $3. The distribution will
positively take plqpe at Houston, December 21st.”
Commendations of the “ Distribution,” are being re
iOelred erery day from leading cititens and pnblio
officials of Texas, shoeing that they are fully alive to
iis merits.
