resident and Cabinet visited Arlington.
The decoration of Confederate gravos at
Arlington was to have taken place on Tuesday,
and the managers had determined to have
neither oration nor procession—nothing but
flowers and tears.

Paul Boynton’s last attempt to cross the

Southern Temperance Watchman.
This is the title of a new temperance paper
from Texas, edited and published by Mr. Wm
A. LeSueur, formerly of this city, and a grad

him) may meet with the success be merits.

but we will in the future. In fact, we are sorry
every editor in the State was not there to be
come interested, as he certainly would in this
Institution, to advocate ire claims on the peo
ple of the State. It could be made one of the
most delightful places in the whole South, and
a pride to the people ot Georgia, but as it is,
it is sadly neglected, not by any lack of atten
tion by the faculty or citizens of Athens, but
from a lack of money. It has always been
cramped, the State takes no interest, it seems
In it; the Legislatures pass its claims by hard

State that needs their attention as much. We
pay too little attention to our educational fa

Planter.
The Failure.
The Talbotton Standard attributes tbs fail
ure of a quorum at tho late meeting of the Press
Association to the scarcity of greens—in other
words, to the light receipts of greenbacks by
tba brethren, superadded to the fact that rail
road ofliolals, like tho rest of mankind, have
become so ungrateful to forget tho power
which brought their corporations into exis
tence, and failed to extend the usual courtesy
of a free ride to tbs brethren of the “fourth
estate:”
If our brethren olsewhero have not succeed
ed better than we have in making collections
since “ the panic" set in, wo do not doubt but
that want of funds was at the bottom of the
failure. By tho way, what a blessed thing was
that • panic’ to thoso who desired somo excuso
for not pay iug their debts! Will It never come

the students of this Iustitution, wo know of
no school, college or University which we could
more heartily recommend to the patronage of
parents and guardians, thao the University of
Georgia, under its present very efficient man
agement.
The above, which we copy from the Gaines
ville Eagle ot last week—aad whioh is, we pre
sume, from the pen of Col. J. B. Estes—is
both just and well deserved. We have fre
quently bad occasion to commend the general
good conduct of the students of the Universi
ty. It affords us a real pleasure to do so—
more particularly in view of the fact that, from
a sense of duty, some years ago, we had fre
quent occasion to condemn the misconduct of
many then in the institution. A very great
change for the better has been effected, and
it is a source of real pleasure to all true friends
of the institution.
Third Term
The Pennsylvania Republican Convention
passed a resolution a few days ago very em
phatically repudiating the third term doc
trine. Other States will, no doubt, follow in
the wake of Pennsylvania, and we may look
for Blaine, or some one else than Grant, as
the next Radical candidate for the Presidency.
An Old Prophecy.
A man in Allentown, Pa., possesses a copy
of the one hundred year almanac, published
in 1800, which selects some fourteen years
from the whole number occurring between
1800 and 1900 as years to be marked by un
usually stormy weather. The gentleman has
observed with curious interest the fulfilment
of the predictions, which he says has been
singularly complete, the storms always falling
not more than a day apart from the date indi
cated. Tho calculation sets down a period of
severe cold in the latter part of May, 1875,
this being one of the fourteon years when it is
predicted we shall have a heavy frost, and
tender vegetation will freeze and be destroy
ed unless protected. It begins to look a little
Jike tho prediction will be verified.
arc greatly indebted to him, and will ever
kindly remember him. Also, Col. Christy and
Dr. Carlton, both of whom are clever gentle
men and publish two of the best papers in the
State—the Watchman and Georgian.
In the last issue of the Covington Star, Mr.
Anderson, after giving an account of the fail
are of the Press Association says:
“ Wednesday afternoon we were favored
with a drill and dress parade by the throe
companies of University students and the
Athens Guards. The military department of
the University is organized under authority
of the State, and is a new feature in the col
lege curriculum, which we heartily approve,
as it gives the student the most healthful and
manly exercise. The discipline is very fine,
and the drilling brought back to memory the
scenes of other days, when our profession was
“ martial,” and oar every movement marked
by war’s fearfal carnage. At 9 o’clock p. m.
the press dinner was announced, and the mem
here of the press and a large number of the
citizens of Athens were soon assembled around
the “ festive boards,” with Dr. H. H. Tucjter,
Chancellor of the University, presiding. The
table was handsomely decorated with flowers
—the hand! work of the young ladies .of Ath
ens. The dinner was built upon strictly tern
porance principles, and, in the language of
distinguished gentleman present, ** there was
literally a feast of reason and a flow of soul-
nothing less, and nothing more.” A number
of appropriate speeches were made, and the
“ glass (of water,) and the jest went round,
until 11 o'clookp. x., when the party adjourn
ed for a pleasant night's sleep. On Thursday
we visited the Lucy Cobb Institute and Mad<
ame Sosnowski’s select school, where we spent
a short while most delightfully with the young
ladies and teachers—at the latter sohool we
were favored with some flue vocal and instru
mental music. We also visited the college
agriculture and experimental farm, whoro we
had tho pleasure of meeting Dr. Pendleton,
one of tho most practical farmers and cbem
ists in the country, who is engaged in practi
cally demonstrating the science of farming
Wo next had a pleasant drive through the
uew cemetery, a most picturesque spot in the
woods overlooking the Oconee river. On
Thursday night at 10 o’clock we left for home
where we arrived at 4 o’clock Friday morning,
bringing with us tho most pleasing recollec
tions of Athens, and her hospitable and gen
erous people. No more pleasant or beautiful
city can be found in our State, than Athens.
She is not only tho seat of learning and intel
ligence but the home of the jarist and states-
Before the war Athens was especially
noted for the wealth as well as intelligence
and refinement of her citizens; and though
she lost much of her wealth as tho common
result of the war, we were pleased to observe
tho many evidences of her present prosperity
Her citizens are enterprising, industrious and
thrifty, her manufacturing interest* are being
rapidly developed, while her educational ad
vantages are superior to any place in the
State. The observant stranger visiting Ath
ens cannot but be impressed with the pros
pect for the bright future which .awaits this
flourishing inland city upon the Oconee.
To Col. J. H. Christy, of the Southern
Watchman, Dr. H. H. Tucker, chancellor of
the University, Mr. Charles Liebler, ot the
firm of Kalvarinsky & Liebler, cigar manu
facturers, Col. A. D. Clinard, the genial pro
prietor of the Newton house, and Dr. Edwin
D. Newton, we are under many obligations
for courtesies during our visit; and especially
to Dr. Newton, who is a 40 horse power gen
ial bonanza, and is.literally “ Athens personi
fied," do wo wish to return thanks for his un
tiring efforts to render pleasant our stay
his beautiful city.
The Wayesboro’ Expositor says:
“ While some of the newspapers of the
State—representative papers, so-oalled,—are
“ poking fun" at the Press Association for its
failure to meet as such, at Athens, on the 19th
instant, we really aro enjoying a recollection
of the grand success of the few members who,
conscious of their duty performed it, by •• as
sembling themselves together at the time and
place appointed.” We are not at all surpris
ed at the cry of “ sour grapes" on the part of
those stay-aways ; and we can well afl'ord to
laugh at their discomfiture. “ Let those laugh
who win.” The “ faithful few” won at least
the respect and good-will and friendship of
the citizens of that lovely mountaiu town (city
now) and, having hearts to fully reciprocate,
will ever bear about with them most pleasant
recollections of their visit; while, at the same
time, they will bear, too, remorse and shame
for theremisnessof their co-editors who “know
ing their duty did it not,” thereby deceiving
fellow Georgians whose chief ambition is to
disseminate light and truth that will penetrate
to the most benighted portion of our State.
It is to be regretted, deeply regretted, that so
few “ editors" wore there, upon the ground
and for the sole reason, if nono other, that
some of them at least need light.
“We shall discuss the educational and man
ufacturing interests of Athens in future issues
of our paper.
..Mr. Hawkins, one of the editors of the
Covington Enterpi-ise, in the last issue of that
paper, “ deposetb and saith" as follows :
“ As a Convention this thing was a failure
—a regular •• bust.” Ouly eight “quill drivers"
were there. They adjourned to meet in At
lanta on tho 3rd of July—the day beforothe
glorious fourth," you know ! The good peo
ple of Athens bad made every preparation to
enterlaia the entire Press of Georgia and
they have just cause to be mortified at the
slim attendance. However, the few present
had every courtesy andattention shown them.
To Dr. Edwin D. Newton, Capt. Robert Brit
tain, Hon. H. H. Carlton, editor N. E. Geor
gian, Hon. John H. Christy, of the Watchman,
Prof. W. Leroy Broun, Dr. H. H. Tucker,
Gen. Wra. M. Browne, Col. A. D. Clinard. of
the Newton House, Mr. Chas. Leibler and
many othors wo return thanks for their kind
ness toward the “ press gang."
Wednesday afternoon the College Bittal-
lion, with the Athens Guards, under cotu-
nover troubled herself about men's business!
On the 16th we traveled all dqy, breasting a
perfect Texas norther. The thermometer
sunk rapidly from 60° to 30°, with a high
northwest wind, which continued for three
days; freezing the ground and killing nearly
all the fruit; as the people in all that country
are too superstitious to use any means to
preserve it. Iu New Jersey; Pennsylvania,
Delaware and Virginia, hundreds of thousands
depend altogether on this crop for their bread
never allow it bo killed; as a very small bunch
of saw dust or rotten wood under each tree or
two will save the crop and the smaller the
better; as a large fire would create cold cur
rents and do an injury. The labor of one man
from 2 o'clock in the morning till sun-rise will
save 1000 trees, by having his combustibles
prepared before hand. We bad but one night
last winter, and two the winter before that
would kill fruit. Wo one should suffer their
fruit to be hilled.
On tho evening of the I6th we arrived at the
Ducktown copper mines, in Tennessee, and
interviewed the Superintendent, who kindly
sbowod us the mines and furnaces, stamping
mills, separators, aod all the machinery ne
cessary to carry on the work, where they make
7000 pounds of copper per day, in ingots and
square blocks ready for the rolling mills in
Baltimore, where it' is made into sheets, and
brass, ice.
They employ 300 men, whose product at 21
cts. per pound amounts to 81,470 per day;
bat will be greatly increased by the addition
of Railroad facilities. The amount of ore is
simply inexhaustible. The two main veins
run into Georgia, iu two miles, where one fur
nace has been erected. Accompanying these
veins is a rich vein of argentiferous galena
and an immenso lead of talc, from 20 to 60 feet
thick and miles iu length, used for lining their
furnaces; being far superior to the home, or

For the Southern Watchman.
Gainesville, Ga., April 21st, 1875.
Dear Sir: 1 have just returned from a trip
to tbe transmontane regions of Georgia, North
Carolina and East Tennessee, to examine the
geology, mineralogy and mining status of that
wonderful country, which is without railroads,
or any other modern improvement of civiliza
tion. On the 16th uit., at mid-day, I reached
the summit of the Appalachian ohain of moan-
tains near Cooper's Gap and viewed with won
der and astopishment, the magnificent land
scape before me. Far away in the distance
the faint outlines of the “ Smoky Mountain
range," between Tennessee and North Caroli
na bounded the view, and sweeping around
eastwards and south wards, the wild and chang
ing scenes bewildered the overtaxed imagina
tion and filled the soul with tbe glories of God.
We stood on the geological centre, where the
rain-drops parted, and one half descended tbe
mountain side and helped form the Ocoee Riv
er, which after rushing onward for one hun
dred miles, over rapids and falls, nnites with
Hiwasree—then rolls on and joins the beauti
ful Tennesses and traverses an empire and
quietljr merges into the “ La Belle Bivere,”
or Ohio, which, in three score and ten miles, is
swallowed np in the vast body of the “ Father
of Waters,’ whose turbulent and muddy stream
rashes onward another thousand miles, and
mingles with tho waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Whilst the other half of tho rain-drop is divi
ded ; and one half of it winds its way into Mo
bile Bay, through the channels of the Etowah,
Caosa, Alabama and Mobile rivers, and tho
other half oourees farther eastwards through
the gorges of the Yahoola, the Cbeatatee and
Chattahoochee rivers into the Appaiachicoia
Bay, where they all soon meet and ascend in
vapor and are formed into clouds which drift
westwards to the monntaln ranges, and con
dense into rain drops, and thus perform their
ceaseless rounds of cyclio tendencies to all
eternity. We descended into this vast basin
cheqaered with beautiful valleys and traversed
the country for forty miles, filled with the
rich stores of iron, gold, mica, copper and sil
ver; with a sparse population, who livo more
for the gratification of tbe pleasures of sense
than those of intellect. They read but little
and have bat few wants, which are easily sup
plied. Bat a more orderly, rfioral and hospi
table people are nowhere to be found. Some
years ago traveling iu company with the Bev.
Geo. Bright through a by-way, his horse lost
one of his shoes. We stopped at the first
smlthshop, and whilst the former was repair
ing tbo mischief, we wont into the house, and
not knowing whether we were in North Car-
loina, Tennessee, or Georgia. Brother Bright
asked the lady what county we were in. Upon
which she replied, she did not know, as she
