We saw at the Insurance office, one day last week, tbo draw ing proposed by Mr. W. W. Thomas, which is beautifully executed, and shows tho now building as it will appear when completed. Athens Foundry and Machine Works. The fatue of this establishment is extend ing, ami it deserves to do so; for we know of no more reliable establishment than it is. Whatever is undertaken there is well done. Capt. Nickerson informed us a few days ago that he had recoived orders from New Or leans and Texas within the past few days. This shows that it has a good name abroad as well as at homo, and it also shows what oner- gy ami industry may accomplish. Under tho ablo management of Capt. Nickerson, the bus iness of tho concern is increasing and tho area ,.f its usefulness widening every year. Witli adozon or two other manufacturing establishments Athens would soon become a city indeed, as well as in name. Thomas, Fleming k Son. See card of this enterprising firm in another column, wholesale and retail dealers in cigars, tobacco, snuff, fee. We have been presented, by our courteous and affable young friend, Joe Fleming, of this fittn, with samples of their cigars and chewing tobacco, which wo pronounco “ A, No. I,” and advise our friends who want first-rato articles in their line, to giro them a call. The Growing Crops. The late rains have bad a magical effect up on the growing crops. Every thing which has a soil of sufficient strangh to support it,;ls now growing beautifully. Reports from mil tho surrounding country, as well as the upper counties, are highly favorable. Wheat Is now out of danger of of met, and it is generally conceded there will be a fine yield, while tho breadth of land devoted to this crop is gteater than usual. Oats, both Fall and Spring, promises a fair yield. Corn and cotton, though planted late, and therefore backward, are both looking well; and, if the rains continue, give promise of a fair average yield. W- think it may bo saiely assumed that the general outlook in this section is more favora ble than usual at this timo of year. Briggs’ Stove Furnace. We were presented by Mr. E. E. Jones, one Jay last week, with a pound cake baked in an ,ven <m Briggs’ Stove Furnace, which has eccu advertised iu these columns. It was thoroughly baked and beautifully browp. Nothing could have baked it nicer, and Mr. J. assured us that the cost of fuel did not exceed It cent! These simple little furnaces aro not only a great convenience to house keepers, but at the same time very economical, as it costs next to nothing to heat them. They are not mily useful in making tea or coffee, but can be used for making preserves, parching coffee, heating smoothing irons, baking, frying, stow ing, boiling, and perhaps many other purposes which we do not at this timo think of. The cost is but $3,50, and every housekeeper who consults convenience and economy ought to have oue of them. Chickens! Chickens! Butter! Eggs! The cry is still tbo same. Tbo supply is Insufficient. Prices are high—sales rapid- market always bare. Briug in your poultry, eggs ami butter! Trot in your fat lambs— your bellowing bullocks and bleating sheep ! But do cco to it that they are all fat 1 We arc aware that broom-sedgo and cotton will not enable animals to “ accumulate much grease," but are there not some fat ones above the cot ton belt t Million Court. The editor is absent at Walton Court this week, and expects to spend a few days at Jacksoa Court next week—where be hopes all iu arrears will liquidate, and those who are out low taking the paper will avail themselves of tho opportunity of subscribing. Fine Whea*. Mr. Veal, living near Big Creek church, ex hibited in our office last week some heads of wheat grown on unmanured upland, which was cleared upwards of seventy years ago. The heads are 31 inches long and filled with large plump grains. It is certainly vory re markable wheat for such land to produce, and shows that tho crop this year will be a very fine one. Public Debate. Should the cultivation of cotton be dimin ished and cereals increased in the South T” waa the question discussed at the Phi Kappa de bate on Friday night last. Prof. White pre sided. and the following young gentlemen par ticipated in the debate: Affirmative—Messrs. Zachary, Mitchell and Brinkley. Negative— Haralson, McDonald and Ragsdale. Tl^e ques tion was well discussed and decided in the negative. This was, no doubt, according to the weight of argument, presented on that oc ctwion; bat when all the arguments are fairly presented on both sides, all must admit that an increase of coreals and a diminution of cotton would add largely to the prosperity of the South. Public School Notice. It is believed by the Board of Education for Clarko that there will be funds onougb the present year to pay, iu whole or in part, for three months' tuition of as many of the cbil dren from six to eighteen years of ago in the couuty as aro likely to attend the pnblie schools. It has therefore, been ordered by the Board that at every place in the county where a suitable house bos been or shall be provided without expense to the Board, a school may be established, or if already established, may be continued with a rightful claim upon an equi table proportion of the public school fond upon the following conditions 1st. Tho timo shall he for three roontAe from Monday, tbo 5th day of July, or from Monday the 30th day of August, according as tbo teach ers and patrons in the case of each school shall, upon consultation, decide. This ar rangement is made for the convenience of the different localities. 2d. Pupils who change from one school to another, cannot reccivo tho benefit of the pub lie luod, except in tho first; and uo pupil shall -“leive aid from the fund, the present year, for a longer time than three months. 3d. Each teacher proposing to accept these conditions must meet the County Board at a session to be heidat the CourtHouse,in Athens, at 10 o'clock, A. M„ on Tuesday, June 22d, bringing a recommendation from the trustees of tho school, i! there be any, or from at least three of the patrons. At tbo same time a license mast ho obtained, upon a satisfactory showing as to character and qualification, by every applicant to whom one has not already been granted, or who has only a limited one. 4th. Evory teacher must keep a daily ac count of the attendance of each pupil, and will be paid sovou cents for each daily attendance, if the funds shall be adequate, and if not, the payments will be made pro rata. If the rates of tuition shall, in any case, be higher than those which the Board shall be able to pay, tbo toucher must look to the patron for the excess; and the Board will consider uo bill for tuition, except within the timo embraced within the limits mentioned in No. 1 of these conditions. Spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic, geo graphy, and English grammar are tbo studies in which applicants for license must be quali fied. The board will not, for the present, prescribe any special text-books. .. M. Stanley, President. Jas. M. Lumpkin, C. C. and Sec’y Rope-Walking at Toceoa. Prof. Kalwick's excursion from Atlanta to Toccoa and bis rope-walking at the Falls prov ed an eminent success. As a rope-walker he has no equal. Wo understand lie proposes walking a rope across the Chattahoochee near Atlanta short ly, and that be wil! probably have another ex hibition at Toccoa on the occasion of the Press excursion there on the 6th of July. The Old Lombard Bulldiug Has been pulled down and the new building of the Southern Mutual Insurance Company is dow goiug up on tho samo site—corner of College Avenuo and Clayton street. It will a splendid structure, when completed, and the energetic contractors will not delay it ono day beyond the timo actually necessary to fin ish it. Change of Location. The Kov.

Bermuda Grass. Tbo Groeneaboro' Herald records the ftet that a gentleman of the place has recently shipped two lots of Bermuda grass roots to other States—one lot to Tennessee and the other to Kentucky. Greenes boro’ is as well supplied with tbo article as any place we have aeon Wo do not know whether this excellent grass will flourish outside of the Cotton States. If it does, however, it will not be long until we are supplied with a ranch better quality of hay than comes to this country. Tbe beet bale of bay we have ever seen bare wc bought of tbe late John W. Mayne, and it was cored Bermuda grass. But our people are so crazy after cotton they will not take tbe trouble to save bay of any kind—preferring to pay $2.50 for an inferior article. Enlarging.

Soperler Court Clerk, Banks County. Our young friend, Mr. W. W. Moore, was ctod Clerk of tbe Saperior Court of Banks 1 "Jibe 26th alt., to fill the vacancy caused by i®* absconding of Oliver, and tho Governor *** issued his commission. At 5 o'clock on Tuesday, the let Instant, large audience attended the dedication “ Moore College," the new building donated tbe College of Agricoltare by the city of Ath cos, and named in honor of the lato Dr. R. D. Moore. Tbe Chancellor, Dr. H. H. Tucker, oooduot ed tho dedicatory exercises, consisting of the readiog of a suitable Scripture lesson, and appropriate prayer, after which W. LeRoy Broun, LL- D., tbe President of tbo College of Agricultare and tbe Mechanic Arts, delivered a very able address, tbe snbstanco of wbicb will be found below. After referring to tho fact that less than one year ago, tho corner-stono of tho boautiful edi fice was laid, and giving a history of tho man ner in which the appropriation for the buildiog was secured, as well as tbe appropriation $15,000^ tbe Legislatare-^all of which la familiar to our readers—tbe learned Doctor proceeded ns follows: TbCqXjgt£Bggti yet in its Infancy, has ready done work of recognized material val ue to the State. Tbe annual reports of tbe experiments of tbe Professor ol Agricultare are increasing in public interest, and are now regarded by the agricultural community as of very great practical value. Important agri cultural questions are now being discussed ex perimentally in this department wbicb may result in tbe annual saving of vast amounts to our farmers. Tbe work done in tbe Chemical Laboratory for the use of tbe public in the analysis of fertilizers, and tbe wide dissemin ation of these analysis through tbe State Ag ricultural Society, with tbeir calculated com mercial values, resulted the first year, accord ing to the estimate of tbe President of tbe Georgia State Agricultural Society, In saving to tbe farmers of Georgia not less than $100,- 000. Thus, by this estimate, in one year tho coltego saved to tbe farmers of Georgia more than six times as much as tbe recent appropri ation given by the State. Tbe work done in the engineering department will bear the most favorable comparison with similar work done in any institution in tbe United States, and, with the improved appliances with which this department will soon be provided, it is expec- tbat valuable contributions will be made to the science of engineering. Already three important positions in the scientific depart ments of the State are filled by yonog gradu ates who received their scientific training in this department of tbe University. Not to dwell longer on this especial work of this, one of our national schools of science, let us glance one moment at the results of tbe establishing in the several States these Colleges devoted especially to tbe new education, aDd sec wbat in the aggregate baa been tbeir success. Id July, 1862, tbe act of CoDgress to establish these colleges of science became a law. Now, in tbiity-eix States, there are established forty- orie colleges, whose propertyis valued at more than $17,000,000. Of this amount $7,000,000 have been received as donations from States, counties, towns and individuals. That is, for every hundred dollars given by the Govern ment to these colleges the people have given sixty-nino dollars. Tbe number of professors and instructors is now nearly 400, with 4,000 students iu atten dance. Hardly a decade of years has passed, uud that a decade made more memorable by devastating war; and yet this is tbe flattering result; a result which proves that the educa tion given in these science schools was demand ed by tbe spirit of tbo age, and clearly indi cates that in time they are destined to exert an important influence upon the destiny of our common country. This Science School, this College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, de voted, as it is, to science education, does not array herself in antagonism to an old education of classical culture. But as oue of the co-ordi - nato departments of tbe University, she claims for science education a position of equality, one of equal rank with the traditional estimate given to tbe older prescribed forms; and at the same time demands that the new subjects of education shall not be trameled by the old forms of a prescribed curriculum: A fixed and prescribed course of study for all students of scienco is incompatible with progressive edu cation. Success can only be attained in a sci entific school when, to those whose education will justify a choice, tbe largest froedom of election is permitted. Sciocce is synonymous with progress, and will inevitably fail in her work, if restrained by antiquated tradition, and forced to adapt her students to any prescribed Procrustean bod. But the objection is urged to tbo elective system that there are too few graduates. The inference is drawn that be cause tbe number of graduates is small, that the system is a failure. Never was there a greater fallacy. The power of an institution of learning depends on the life, tbe energy, the work done by professors aDd students in tbe several departments, and not on tbe number of the graduating class at commencement. A student may fail of bis degree and yet be far better educated than one who has received hi3 so-called college honor at an institution whore scholarship was not the test of graduation. Will it increase the real power of a college to yioid to this false standard, and add to its num ber of graduates by stamping tbe counterfeit and gnuuina alike ; by timo aloue, and not qualification, the element necessary for gradu ation f There is one thing we would take this occasion to impress upon the minds of the stu- dcuts; that is, that the possession of a diploma uo more makes a man educated than the stamp on the coin makes the metal genuine. Each student, sooner or later, will find tbe world full of matter of fact men, who are ic tbe habit of valuing things for what they are, and not for what they appear to be; who will, regard less of tbe stamp which he bears, brand him «s a counterfeit if bo fail to have tbe genuine ring. Tbe purpose of this College will be, under its present organization, to stamp no counter feits, but only to give its impress to tbe genu ine coin. With such jealous care does she pro pose to guard her reputation, that in coming years her seal may be everywhere recognized as an assured teBt of genuineness. It is only when this strict guard is kept that an institu tion of learnlag is meeting fully all its raspon sibilities. ADd should any adherents of the false standard of success undervalue the work of tbe college because she may annually pre sent a small number of graduates, we would remind such of sop’s fable of the wolf and tbe lioness. The wolf was reviling the lioness that she brought forth only one at a birth. “ True,” replied tbe lioness, “ one, but a lion." The course of education given in this college is distinctly scientific. There are now three special courses arrauged—a coarse in Agricul ture, a course in applied Chemistry, and a course in Engineering. A student, when qual ified, is permitted to elect either course. The design is remake this building not only nomi nally but really a Laboratory. In tbe com modioiu rooms that are here arranged, through tbe liberality of this city, and to be equ by the gift of tbe State, it is designed to all the students, even the youngest, engaged in actual scientific work. Thus, with energetic, living teachers, the student will be brought, without the nee of text books, directly in contact with nature. By means of this special science training, there will be sent from these halls a class ot yonog men who will go forth active, earnest workers, having a proper regard for the honors of labor —of that labor which combines brain-work with hand-work—yonog men whose thoughts will be directed to the channels of productive industry; who will develop new industrial in terests throughout our State; who will bring from the bowole of the earth her hidden trea sons, and whose ambition wili be to gain thoso valued prizes in the applied sciences that bring both riches and renown. Tbns from these halls will be laid tbe foundations or tbe future Arkwrights, Stevonsone, Laweeand Bessomere oftbe Sootb. We indulge bright bopee of tbe fatnre suc cess and worth to tbe State of this College, as tbe scientific school of the University, provided it be permitted to work oat iu destiny, as true science requires, unfettered by tradition or ar bitrary prescription. Onr plans are not contracted, bnt are on a scale commensurate with tbe dignity of tbe 8tate, whose name tbe college bears. “ To complete onr plans”—to repeat the words that were need by myeelf in a publio address two years ago—to complete the plans in accordance with onr views, $100,000 would be required to purchase the appliances of instruction. We need a conservatory, a botanical museum, an agricultural and physiological museum, a tech nical mnsonm, modes of engineering, with ex teoslvo physical and chemical apparatus. All these appliances are needed, and most be sap plied, if we desire no longer to be content with small things, and are unwilling to 'stop just where we have begun. If we wish to build np a good scientific institute, that will extend iu influence over onr whole State and throughout the South, we mast stand shoulder to shoulder and go forward, measuring onr demands, not by tbe past, bnt by tbe necessities of tho fntare, knowing that no possible investment made by tbe State or by the people can yield each re turns as that Invested in developing tbe brains of her bods. Tbe Professor then discussed tbe importance of a scientific education. He called attention especially to tbe distinctive, mental ‘iSslpliue of tbe study of science, and thought tbe friends of science bad some times weakened the strength of tbeir arguments by dwelling too much on tbe practical benefits derived from its stndy. He said: A high order of litera ry culture, desirable as it is among a people, is possible only with leisure. Timo is requi site for this culture and memory for its enjoy- For the Weekending Jane 8. ry, 11* goad ordinary, 18 low middling, 14} ; middling It | FACTO1Y GOODS TOBACCO.

When tbe labors of nine-tenths of a man’s working hoars are required to provide for the physical neces sities of life, there is only ono-tonth left for culture. When tbo demands of physical life, food, raiment and shelter are furnished by ac- enmnlated capital, representing tbe potential energy of former generations stored np for present nee, then only tbq mental energies nn- iojnred by physical necessities may be direct ed to high Intellectual culture. With educa tion there eboald be an adaptation, a fitness of Its character to the wants of the society for which it is intended. It should be adopted not to a limited portion of society, but to moot all its varied demands; not to tbe so-called learned professions only, bnt to fill tbe varied avocations of life. The mental discipline produced by the study of tbe sciences leads to accuracy of thought; it cultivates tbe babit of careful observation; and habituates the mind to inductive thought. In this consists its chief distinctive character istic. Tbe troths of science are all inferred by induction from a large number ot particu lar facte. It is by tbe study of tbe methods by which scientific troths have been discov ered that the mind becomes imbued with the babit of inductive thought, and in ail rela tions of life learns to apply correctly this great principle of discovery. Scientific study teaches the legitimate value of one experi ment, and demonstrates the absurdity of draw ing a general conclusion therefrom. This habit of mind guards one against placing too high an estimate on bis individual experience. It shows him that general conclusions resalt from this aggregate, and cannot be legitimate ly inferred from one instance, in one individu al. It is tbe inductive babit of thought caused by science study that guards against tbe error so frequently observed of forming theorios from a siogle experiment or from one observa tion. A single experiment in any depart ment of science, dissociated from others is of no value. He is scientifically educated who knows tbe real value of a fact, who will give it neither too much nor too little value. But facts alone are not education, they are not disciplinary, they only exercise the memory, tbe first development of all the faculties. And storing the memory with facts, we most bear in mind is not education. All elementary education, it is true, con sists in memorizing facts ; yet this beginning is not edneation. A knowledge of the three R’e no more constitutes education than a pile of bricks makes a house, and, as has been ob served. unless something higher than tbe three R’s is taught, a fourth R., rascaldom, is apt to be developed therewith. Scientific education consists in training the mind to comprehend relations, not in storing it with isolated facts. Should I content my self, said the Professor, with telling the pupil that the earth is eighty times larger than the moon, that Jupiter has four satellites, that heat is a mode of motion, or that water con sists of oxygen and hydrogen, I wonld no more educate him than I would were I to tell him the number of square feet in the floor of this room, or tbe difference between a carpen ter’s hand-saw and a cooper’s adzo.

These facts would have tbeir value, but they would continue to form a shapeless >ile, unless I should go further, and show him low by inductive thought to cement these bricks together in a comely edifice. But as bricks are essential elements of a bouse, so facts are essoutial dements of an education. They have their value, but all are not of equal value. Wbicb is ot more worth to know, tbat sanguis means blood, or to know the circula tion of tbe blood t to know tbataer means air, or to know the oonsequence of breathing tbo impure air of ill-ventilated rooms t to kuow tbat color moans beat, or to kuow the laws of beat t and if mental discipline, inductive hab its of thought, can be formed by studying tbe relations of facts that are themselves of value to the professor, then of eo much more worth is that study which comprehends such facts. The mind trained in scientific methods of in vestigation, habituated to scrutinize closely, earns to regard a fact only as a liok iu a chain. It is not the phenomena, but the re lations botween tbe phenomena that are con sidered. True knowledge, where other pow ers than those of memory are exercised, con sists ia a knowledge of relatioos. This ie true science, and this searching for relations, this looking for the golden thread of induction tbat will bind the seemingly disconnected links together, is the distinctive discipline of science study by which tbe full strength of the intellect is edueed. Oue of tbe distinctive characteristics of the discipline imparted by the study of science is ^dependence of thought and consequent self- reliance. Tbe trntbs of science rest upon a firmer basis than tbe authority of men, how ever eminent for their knowledge; they rest upon the solid basis of inductive logic. Opin ions in science are valuable only so far as they represent generalizations of observed phenom ena. Authority, as such, has little weight. In this respeot scientific discipline differs greatly from that of linguistic and historical studies, where on all disputed points authority is the final refuge. Freedom of thought engendered by science, has largely contributed to tbe advance of tbe I9th century. Science and freedom go band in hand. No people trained by science-edu cation can ever be made submissive slaves. Science does not over-estimate tbe value of words. “ Words," said Hobbes, “ are the counters of wise men, but the money of fools.” Science deals not with words, bat with things; not so much with the expression of the conception, as with the conception. Hence it cultivates not talk bnt thought, not speech bnt silence; and this discipline of eilence is espe cially worthy of the consideration of the young men of the South. Tbe tendency has been to estimate oratorical talent beyond its true val ue. Tbo love of declamation needs not - cnlti vation. This over-estimate of the benefits to be derived from a cultivation of the speech making talent frequently paves the way to sad failures and bitter disappointments. The South needs not talkers, bnt doers; not speech- makers, bnt corn-makers and iron-makers not word skill, bnt mechanioal skill; not men who wish to be somethiag, bnt men who wish to do something.
