BrprfMBlalivea from Oglelhorpe* From au editorial uotico in the last Echo, highly complimentary to the Hon. W. M.

From a loug acquaintance with both these gentlemen we can fully endorse all that has been said of them by their friends in the Echo, and are confident that their record in the past will be a sufficient guar antee for “ good and faithful service” to Oglethorpe in the future.

Anti the action of the board of trustees should be carefully watched, aud they should be held strictly responsible for the prosperity of the school.

MILLEDGEVILLE OB ATLANTA. EulMT BxtnkTaguce. Messrs. Editors: While I am tar from being one of those who refuse to listen to the voice of senti ment in discussion of the relative merits of Milledgeville and Atlanta as the seat of our State Government—while I admire and ap plaud the feeling of those who express a pref erence for ‘ the halls which ourfathers built,’ because it is au evidence of that elevation of soul and goodness of heart which con st' tute the purest patriotism—I am ready to discuss the question on the purely ma terial ground of economy. Will it be more economical for the people of Georgia to es tablish the capital at Milledgeville than at Atlanta ! Will it cost less t Will J;he bur then of taxation be made less grievous by returning to “ the halls that our fathers built?” I answer, yea, verily, to the foregoing questions, and I now proceed to state why I answer thus. Will it be more economical f We all know that the State of Georgia now owns the old capitol buildings at Milledgeville, and thnt to repair the damages done by Bullock Vandals, and the iiyury resulting from their being unoccupied for many years, would not cost more than a few thousand dollars. It is estimated by competent judges that ten thousaud dollars would cover all tbjt cost or refofirs ^ud would ’ make uib buildings fully Adequate to^the Treasonable wants of the Government for many years to come. This sum, and the amount thnt would be necessary to defray the expense of moviug the archives and furniture from Atlanta to Milledgeville would be the total cost of the return to the “ halls that our fathers built.” On the oth er hand, if Atlanta shall be made tho capi tal, wo all know that a new capitol must be built out aud out. The present H. I. Kimball Opera House, whose foundations and superstructure are as unsubstantial and unsale as the financial credit of the individual whose name it bears, and as the political honesty of tho Bullock-Pope usur pation which traded with Atlanta for it, cauuot continue to be the capitol of Geor gia. Besides, the State does not own this tumble-dowu barrack. Atlauta controls a mortgage on it for nearly, if- not quito, 890,000, and it is very doubtful whether it could be sold to-day for the amount of the mortgage. At all events, to acquire a val id title to the property, the State must pay 890,000 aud then, what has she got? rickety building which she could only use temporarily, which every oue admits is in adequate aud uucomfortable, and wholly unsuited as well in appearance as iu ac commodation to the dignity of the State We must, then, if the capital be fixed at Atlanta, go to work at once to erect new Government buildings—a new capitol We do not propose—no one proposes —to build a cheap temporary State House. If we build at all, let us build a magnificent capitol worthy of the State, adequate to its wants for a century to come. At tho least calculation sucli a building would cost two millions of dollars. It would probably cost double that amouut But let us say two the annuul interest 910,000 < to 4he tajles of, For the Legislature. Editors Southern "Watchman .•—The time has arrived wheu._the people not only of our county but throughout the State are called upon to select suitable men to represent us iu the next Legisla ture, provided for. un(Jer_ the now Consti- fotion. This duty ipperhnpstho most important that has devolved upon tbe people since the found&fon ot the State Government, as the Legislature will be, perhaps, the mosUmportant ever as sembled in Georgiaf^fcr people are call ed upon at the same time to vote upon the new Constitution, .which will surely be ratified. This wilFffiake quite a radi cal or revolutionary chap^e in our organic law, and must necessarily alter in a very large degree, the statutor: law;, of the State. Now, to do this wisely ; to trans fer the government oTIfte State from the old organic principles to those of the new Constitution without kBbck to the differ ent interests of the country, and will cer tainly require our bestj~wisest and most experienced men. Vfe&te fully persuaded that the Convention would have acted wise ly, aud in accordance with the views and wishes ct a large majority of tho people of Georgia, had it allowechthe present Legisla ture elect to meet in'January, for the pur pose of adjusting tfi® statutes to the new Constitution.

Ho sayshe doesn’t propose, to give himself any unnecessary concerhfabout his admis sion to the Senate, aud may hot even take the trouble to go to Washington at all. As the Senate is surq to be Democratic two years hence, it is “ immaterial” to him whether he is admitted or hot. There are times, says the Baltimore Gazette, when it is quite easy for one to be resigned to his fate. Kellogg’s attitude would he he roic if it were not absurd. -g> find the performance of such delicate and responsible duty, -"‘V • Now, Messrs. Editors, to tho point: To meet the exigencies upon us let us be up and consideriug the AH important matter. Let us be wise and prudent, iu our selec tion, rather than controlled by our per sonal preferences and prejudices. There are many young men in our midst we delight to honor at the proper time, but now the county demands men of experi ence. Seeing-tboMtaEUartton has declined re-election, the nAOJes of Col. James H. Huggins and MayorH*. G. Talmadge have been proposed. We have naught in the world to say against our friend Talmadge. We know of no youug man who deserves higher praise for the position he has taken in our community as jm honorable and useful citizen. So lethiis praises be sound ed. Col. H. has served several years in the Legislature of'Georgia. He is expe rienced, and largelyHUcquainted through out the State. His services in the army still add to his extended experience and acquaiutauce; and hot to disparage the claims of others who may aspire to repre sent our couuty, whine Satisfied that our best interest at this time, gives the pre ference to Col. H., dnrl that he is the most available and acceptable man to our peo pie at present. 1 Many Voters. Rapid Transit. While in Lula one night last week, we saw lour car-loads of cotton transferred from tin* Northeastern railroad to the through freight train of tho Air.Line road, and learned that it would reach Charlotte the next morning at an early hour. This is very quick transportation of freight, ami shows the advantageous worth ot the Northeastern road to Athens more plainly thau we could in a full column editorial. Let tho people of Athens aud vicinity stand by their railroad firmly, and encour age aud patrouize it to the best ot their ability. Singular Freak of Nature. We are informed by Judge J. H. David, of Banks county, that Lewis Johnson, Esq., living near Jefferson, Jackson county, has a call with a bunch of hair growing near the centre of one ot its eyeballs. This is a singular treak ot nature, and we never heard of but one similar case. When our father was living two miles below this city, some years ago, he raised a cow with a patch ol hair growing out of the ceutre of each eye, aud strange to say, her sight was not affected by it. Burned. We regret to learn that Mrs. Amanda McGinnis, residing near Harmony Grove, Jackson county, had the misfortune to lose her dwelling and kitchen by fire, on Satur day night of last week people and wonld add nearly ofa but have often wondei#! wH^tfflBPshould be such a difference between the charges of two houses iu the same neighborhood. This was brought to our mind last week in traveling up the Northeastern and Air Lice Railroads. Wo stopped for supper at Belton, got a very good ordinary meal, for which we had to pay seventy-five cents, while in the villages of Augusta, Ac., the first-class hotels only charge fifty cents for a single meal. On our return we took supper at the new hotel of Mr. J. H. Banks, at Lula, less than a mile distant from Belton, got a meal far superior to the one at Bolton, were al lowed twice as loug a time in which to eat it, and oily paid him 50 cents. We’mention this matter in order that the people may protect themselves against such exorbitant charges. “Wide Awake.” We have before us the October number of this most excellent juvenile monthly, aud as usual, it is filled with interesting reading matter, intended more particularly for the “ little folks,” but'Which will prove interesting to all.

The New York Sun of Monday says: “ However the case may stand with other commercial centres, there is no longer any room for doubt or question as to the revival of trade here in the metropolis. Tho fact is patent to everybody that has eyes. Western aud Southern faces, long missed and mourned, are reappearing daily iu the hotel corridors and on the down town side-walks; the wholesale •dfci taring two feather beds and quantity of crockery ware.

Our readers will remember that some weeks ago we inentioued tho fact that sev eral stores at Harmouy Grove hid been brokeu open and robbed, and that among other things, the burglars had stolen the wail key and some offioial stamps from Mr. Goss’ store. Judge Jas. H. David, who lives in a few miles of Harmony Grove, was in our office on Friday last, and he iuformed us that a few days since some of the police force of Borne bad arrested a man in that city who was passing under the assumed name of Robson, on ths charge of carrying con coaled weapons, and upon searching him they found iu bis possession a mail key and official stamps exactly corresponding with those stolen from Harmony Grove. Upon learning these facts, Mr. Goss im mediately telegraphed the authorities of |fofoe,to detaiu Robson, but it was too ,00, as he had paid the fine imposed upon Mm by the city and been set at liberty Thougii the civil officers are keeping a Jqokout/or him, at last accounts he had not been re-captured.

Altogether, the out look tor the tail’s business is decidedly encouraging.” iyThe Philadelphia Times says at Lynch burg, some of the newspaper men called on Jubal Early, who expressed himself very freely as to the President Of the President’s Southern policy, Early said that when Hayes came into possession of tbe President’s office he found himself possess ed of a tainted titie, and made a virtue of necessity when he removed the troops from the South. “ Show me a place,” said Early, “where Hayes has condemned the the. plachffc of troops In the South, and wili go and shake bands with him gladly.” The Baatma War. The rainy season havtog now set in, it is probable that active operations will have to be suspended in the East nntil the (opening of Spring, the amount of the present load of State in debtedness. Atlanta’s offer by her Mayor and Council even though it be “ filed in the Executive office,” to build a capitol at her expense “ as good as that at Milledge ville,” is no more binding on her in law or morals, (and she knows it) than if she were ta offer through the same parties to build a canal from tbe Kimball House to Savan nah. The law forbids it. And, Messrs Editors, were it otherwise—could she do so —as a citizen of Georgia, I never would cousent that the State should iucur such a debt of obligation to one of its cities. We may want economy. We may be satisfied with buildings that were considered amply sufficient when Berrien, Colquitt, Stephens, Crawford, Lumpkin and Billups represented Georgia constituencies in our General As sembly; but if we must change, if we must go to Atlauta, let the whole people build their own capitol. Let .us own it tree irom unsatisfied mortgages and unful filled pledges, Let us have a grand capitol whose dome will “ rise to meet the suu in his coming,” and as every citizen of Geor gia visits it, let him enjoy the feeling of in dependence and pride resulting from tbe knowledge that the State of Georgia built it, and that not one block in it from cellar to dome is due to tbe charity or tbe greed of any particular locality or people. To sum up. I invite the honest tax-pay- ers of Georgia to examine carefully the following comparative estimates: MILLEDGEVILLE. State House, Governor’s Mansion Ac., Ac. built by the people of Ga. owned by the State, will cost...

Stores for the Indians have been sent to tie Missouri river, and the Indians have the alternative of going to their stores or goiug without them.
