In our report of our trip to Athens we have not said what we want to of the University, 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 ly noticed, when there is no interest in the State that needs their attention as much. We pay too little attention to our educational fa cilities any how, but we want to speak of this in the future and will close now.—Times & 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.

If the oonduct which we behold is an index to the general demeanor of 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 Imported fire brick.

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 Parties desiring a whole ear through to tho Vir ginia Springs or to Baltimore, should address tho an. dorsignod. Parties contemplating traveling should send for a oopr of tha Kixxcsaw Route Gaxettu, containing schedules, ete. Ask for Tickets via “ Kennesaw Route,” B. W.
