The Daily Sun. J. H. MARTIN, Editor. WED.VE8U l V TIOUNINU, JITI.V t« eight ixg or ait. fix ns. The recent duel -a New Orleans edit or and a lawyer has furumhed a theme for a number of our exchanges, which are leveling their heaviest artillery against the practice of dueling. We have noth ing to say in defence, except this, which we Raid when the report of the duel first reached us, that if men want to fight, and think that they are bound to fight, and must and will fight, the duel seems to be as fair a mode as any other, It may with entire consistency be denounced by Qua¬ kers or non-resistants: but it seems to us that'any fighting inan must his draw mode a very and nice distinction to justify condemn the duel as murder. Let us see to that. Is prize fighting any more noble and buwaue than a duel with pistols? We suppose that few will contend that it is. But the prize fighter’s ring, with its umpire and its rules prohibiting all “fouls,” certainly affords the very fairest mode of fighting it out “fist and skull fashion. If, then, the prize fight, thus guarded and regulated, 1H brutal and disgusting in the extreme (and we do not deuv that it is), is not any other combat, i i which men pound one another with .heir fists, or with sticks, each taking ev ery advantage of the other, equally brutal aud even less fair? lu both cases brute force and a little scientific skill must de¬ cide the combat, ami the weakest aud the least skillful will be beaten, no matter how just his cause may be. Is there any thing nobler or less brutal than the duel in this? But it may be said that the brutality of the duel consists in the extremity to w Inch it is carried—in the sacrifice of life that is sometimes involved, In the first place, we doubt veiy much whether more lives are annually lost in this country m duets with pistols t han m personal contests m which no “deadly weapons" are used. We believe that a comparison of statistics would show that the dueling pistol sends fewer men to their graves than the bliulg eon. tho kick, the rock, and the blow with the fist. In the next place, it is iuipossi ble to restrain mm, when they get into a sudden fight, unlettered by rules or sec oiids, from resorting to any means at hand to carry on the combat, aud thus we Hee many fights, begun with a blow of the baud, ending by one party seizing any¬ thing within his reach—be it knife, pis¬ tol, stick or stone—and using it to the best advantage, often to the killing or mami iug of his antagonist, Very often, too, the discomfited parly in a “list and skull” fight cherishes revenge, seeks his adversa¬ ry with a deadly weapon, and takes his life. Pretty homilies may be pronounced against such a resort, to woapons oilier than those of nature, and severe laws may be passed to prevent if; but it is impossi¬ ble to coulr^i (he passions of many men when thoroughly aroused, or to limit them to any mode prescribed by others for car¬ rying ou defensive or offensive warfare. It follows, if these premises are correct, that the great moral wrong is in lighting at all, more than in the mode of fighting. And if all kinds of fighting are to be pro¬ hibited by severe penalties, all provoca¬ tions to fighting should be prohibited by penalties equally severe, if tile law un¬ dertakes to make a man a gentleman, it should make him a gentleman in the use of his tongue aud his pen as well as his hands. The proposition of the Augusta Chron¬ icle. that the laws should be so changed as to punish duelists as ordinary murderers must surely have beeu written without Hutflcieut reflection. Punish a man us a murderer for shooting another when tbe other is in the act of shooting at him ! This would make a discrimination agaiust the duelist; it would deprive him of a defence allowed to every other homicide. Even the fear that the deceased was about to use a weapon lias been hold by juries a justification for taking his life ; aud the law itself considers threats to take life as a great palliation of the killing of the man making the threats, lu the case of the duelist the justification must be stronger, because a man is placed iu a position where he must kill or be killed—he iH con fronted Ivy an adversary openly and un¬ mistakably trying to take bis life. So say that a man who, thus circumstanced, shoots his opponent, is not even to be al¬ lowed the plea that availed to save young Walworth from the gallows—that he did not commit murder with deliberate pre¬ meditation—-seems to us a proposition that refutes itself by its own excess, It can only spring from opposition to duel¬ ing as a particular mode of lighting or killing, aud shows its inconsistency by its intolerant bias. We repeat that we are not defending duelling. Only a necessity could make us resort to that mode of settling a difficulty. But we have endeavored in Hub article show— 1st, That dueling with pistols ^ no more brutal than other modes of personal combat, aud is as fair as any. 2d, That the way to prevent it is to put a stop to all lighting uud provocations to fight. 3d, That the duelist ought to he al¬ lowed all the pleas of justification (self defence, &c.,) allow ed to other homicides. THE ClXVIXXJLTt SOt TII ERA H. K. Cincinnati “makes haste slowly” in the matter of the selection of the route for her long-talked-of railroad to Chattanooga. The latest report in reference to it is that the company have now under considera¬ tion a proposition from the President of the Kentucky Central Railroad to allow the Cincinnati Southern to use the Ken¬ tucky Central on terms to be settled here¬ after. It is not quite clear from the no¬ tice before us whether this is a proposition to make the Kentucky Central a link of the Cincinnati Southern, or to allow the latter the use of the former in the construction of a parallel road. The Kentucky Central is now, we believe, in operation from Oovin'Jton, opposite Cincinnati, to Nich olasville, a distance of perhaps 125 miles ou a straight route towards Chattanooga. The people of Chattanooga, on Satur¬ day last, by a vote of 323 to ti4, decided to donate %100,<)0<) in bonds to the Cin¬ cinnati Southern Railroad. Gallatin, beyond a doubt, has suffered other more seveiely from the cholera than any place where that dise-se has pre¬ vailed. The deaths by cholera, strictly within the corporate limits, up to July lat, were an even hundred. 'This is trnlv appalling. — Knoxville Press. ! WESLJC \'AN EEMALM cor I EUE.

Eoitobs Son: We this morning P ‘ li<1 I j our first visil to Wesleyan Female College which is located ou top of College b | one of the^nost commanding and attiin live of the several hills that rise up in the college f very midst of this busy city. Jim grounds occupy an entire square, upoii x which commodious and imposing brick buildings have been erected, with nutuer OUK wo odeu structures in the rear. The m «iu building is four stories high in the centre, with wings of three stories; and the chapel, which is near by, is two stories, the lower floor being divided into reeita tion rooms, The audience room above in well seated and comfortably arranged,and was this morning beautifully deoorat ed with evergreeus, flowers and pictures. From Prof. A. J. M. Uizieu, of the de partment of Modern Languages and Latin, tin: only member of the faculty who seemed to have time to notice an humble traveling correspondent, we obtained all desired information in regard to the in stitntiou, and were shown about the build jugs and looked after in a manner that I ; convinced us that lie is not only a most j estimable Christian gentlemau, but also “the right man in the right place,” espe j c j tt Uy to entertain strangers with politc i neHH and civility. Our visit to the hall of 1 t |, Fhilomatheun Society, in the north wing, and to the hall of the Adelphean Society,in the south wing of the building, WH8 unusually attractive. The halls are carpeted and handsomely furnished, the W!l lls being bung with pictures, portraits and photographs, prominent among wl ich is a fine portrait of the late Rev. Dr. Bun¬ nell, under whose able supervision the college attained to a high position in tke educational world. The motto of the Philomathean Society is “ Les Suture Fideles;” or, “The Faithful Bisters.” Among its members we notice the names of Misses Lula Dozier, Mollie Barnes aud Maria Wall. The Adelpheun Society, of which Misses Nellie Verstillo aud Ida Frazer are members, ban for its motto, “We live for each other.” These literary societies hold their public exhibitions al¬ ternately, the 1‘hiloniathean this, and the Adelphean next year, under the name of a “Biennial Celebration.” DISTINGUISHED GRADUATES. J’he Georgia Female College, which was chartered iu 18:’.ii, was the first institution of its kind in this country, if not in the world. Beurgauizod in 1844, it took the denominational name of the Wesleyan Female College, which it has retained wiih eminent success up to the present time. Of the distinguished men who now compose the Board of Trustees, we wilj here mention the names of Bev. Loviek Fierce, I). D., Bev. Armenius Wright, 1). D., Hon. W. If. Chambers and Bev. J. S. Key, D. D., of your city, and Bishop Geo. F. Pierce, of Sparta, who arrived here this morning. In glancing over the names of the young ladies who have gone forth from this institution since 1840, a feeling of saduess comes over the heart. So many of them have married aud died, not a few of njioui occupied high posi¬ tions in society, while others are separat¬ ed, widely uud forever, by distance, for¬ tune or social inequalities. What blessed memories cluster around the names of Mis. Ann L. Chambers, nee Flewellen, and Mrs. Martha K. Clopton, nee Ligou, who havo passed “over the river,” having borne the heat and ourden of the day, where they now rest from earth's warfare “uuder the trees” that grow by the river of life. And with them stauds that sweet poetess and gifted writer, Mrs. Jane T. H. Cross, wife of Bev. Dr. Cross, whose literary productions have made so many homos aud hearts happy. But among the honored living we tiud familiar names, from whioh is reflected back upon this in¬ stitution, even in her proudest successes, the light of a noble genius. It is no feeble tribute to Wesleyan Female Col¬ lege, that iu the list of her “Graduates iu the Honorary Second Degree" are found the names of such a distiuguished authoress as Miss Augusta J. Evans (Mrs. Wilson ) and so gifted a poeteSNas Mrs. L Virginia French, whoso assured future success in the literary world must add yet still brighter honors to those with which they have already erowned their venerable alma mater. THE ART DEPARTMENT. One of the most attractive features of Wesleyan College, aud one that is presided over wiih great fidelity and rare success, is the department of drawing and pain¬ ting, which is in charge of Mrs. E. T. Clowe. During the present public exer¬ cises the Chapel walls are profusely hung with the paintings and pencil and crayon sketches of the students, and we are glad to report that the young ladies of your section make as flue a display in this de¬ partment as those from any other pail of the State. Nov are their productions ol ordinary merit. Not a few ol them are ol large size, and most artistic in their char after aud finish. Miss Maria F. Wall, of your city, contributes “Tired of Flay," a fine crayon sketch, with colored ground. “Moonlight Promenade,” a pretty pencil drawing, aud a sweet-faced portrait in crayon, all of which are well executed. Miss Laura Tarver, daughter of Mr. K. W. Tarver, of Euon, Ala., has the large.-,! and most varied collection ou exhibition, and has received high praise for tlie su¬ perior manner iu which she has used nei pencil aud brush, this being her first year in the art department here. Her most attractive picture is “The Blacksmith in Winter," a large and elegant oil painting representing a winter scene in front of a blacksmith shop. “Morning ou the Alps," aud “Just Awake,” are oil paintings of smaller size, but equal merit. The “Maid of Mont Blanc” and “Asking Alms," are two fine crayon sketches, both of which are carefully finished. She also contributes two pencil sketches, oue of an old tree aud the other a fancy portrait. Miss Mattie B. Owen, of Talbotton, ex¬ hibits a large aud splendidly executed 1 "Hebe," in oil, which shows that she pos¬ sesses considerable talent as a portrait painter. Her "Mountain Streams" is also a meritorious oil sketch, and both produc¬ tions show that this young lady has made good use of her time and talents in this department of female culture. Miss Lei¬ la A. Ross, a graduate of 1871, and well known in your oity, coutributes an ele¬ gant oil painting, of large size and excel¬ lent finish, entitled “’A Friend in Need.” which is much admired. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT. Some of the most apt and gifted pupils in this department are from your section, and their public performances during the , past few days have been complimented in j the highest terms. Misses Laura larver, | Minnie Drane and Ida Frazer performed Kinkel’s “Philomela Polka” on Friday 1 i nj j,, j„ « splendid manner, according to ' the verdict of th e Telegraph. We already Uave spoken of the musical exercises of j Thursday night, in which Misses Loula W. j j) ozleri Mollie 0. Barnes, and Mary Lou i Liu|e t()()k The readjng u f compo- i ^ |uorniug was interspersed ^ au(1 in8tiun) ental music, and the sweetest gem of all, as well as the most artistic performance, was the, vocal duet—“Where the Streamlet Flows”— by J Misties Mary J Lon Little and Clara Wells. Both young ladies have pretty faces, sweet voices, and refined manners, and although Miss Little w as not in good health, she went through with her part in such a manner as to win the heartiest ap planse. Strauss’ beautiful waltz—“On the Blue Danube”—was also performed in spirited style by Misses Loula W. Dozier Mary Lott Little and Mollie A. Batts. SENIOR CLASH COMPOSITIONS. The college chapel was crowded to its utmost capacity this morning, the audi once heing drawn together to listen to the reading of the compositions of the first section of the Senior Class, The young ladies were elegantly dressed in the pre¬ vailing styles, and, with but few excep¬ tions, read practical compositions, in a natural and excellent manner. Miss Minnie O. B. Drane, daughter of the late Wm. M. Drane, of Buena Vista, was ex¬ cee< lingly happy both in the treatment of her subject and file cordial and ea ny man¬ ner in which whe presented it to the audi¬ ence, by whom she was raptnously ap¬ plauded at. the close of her splendid ef fort. .. Bubjeets,” in her hands, were sharply and practically discussed, es pecially those over whom woman, in her kingdom of home, is called upon to rule, Miss Mattie B. Owen, daughter of Dr. Owen, of Talbotton, long 83 IlCt) deceased, discussed “Old Bachelors” in r very wpicv and off-hand maimer. She presented their good and bad qualities with considerable fairness, and called forth lor some of them as much sympa¬ thy and respect as an audience mostly composed of ladies could bestow, while she held up another class to ridicule and contempt. Her effort this morning stamped her as a young lady of great en¬ ergy of character and practical common sense. Miss Kate Buss, sister of Miss Leila Boss, of this city, a roguish, bright¬ eyed blonde beauty, read a sparkling, hu¬ morous composition iu rhyme, entitled “I told you so,” which was frequently interrupted with we.ll-deserved applause. Her farewell to teachers and classmates, however, was tenderly beautiful, and proved that under all her roguish smiles she carries in her bosom a kind and loving heart—one that beats truly aud foudly for the objects of her youthful affection. Sidney Herbert. UEOnaiA ST A TJE (MANGE. Our Origin, Objects, and howto Organ¬ ize ,Subordinate Oranges. In response to the many couimuuica tious from the farmers of this State, in regard to the origin, objects, and neces¬ sary steps to the organization of local Granges of the Order of Patrons of Hus¬ bandry, the following resume has been prepared: ‘Grange’ signifies farm, with the term a all its appointments ot building, stock, etc., and is derived from the Latin gran urn, a grain; and its use is of Scotch ori gm. lu the United States, iu 18(>li, O. H. Kelley—now Secretary of the National Grange, Washington, 1J. C., but then a Government clerk—was sent to the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia to inquire into the status of abandoned lands in those sections. His observations of the chaotic condition and uutold suffering of the planters and their families iu that Heaven-forsaken country awakened tlie key-note to associations among farmers; aud to-day the mimes of those who have struck hands, even across the ‘bloody oliasm’—brothers by common weal, if not by blood—are legion. With malice toward none, and hope as our au chor, and faith in God our shield, we, iu the favoring winds of high heaven, aud the interest of our common brotherhood. set up our peacetul bauners. OUR OBJECT is tlie protection and advancement of the interests of our membership—material, educational, social aud moral. Our agency will be found iu the employment of all honorable and legitimate means, and whioh can be supplemented only by that association which, in the hands of all other professions of our fellow men, con¬ stitute the Archimedean lever of success. Our Order seeks to cheapen the cost of living, hence to lessen the necessity for phjsioal toil, thereby securing to us in¬ creased opportunities of leisure, which can he devoted to mental aud social cul¬ ture. Thus the Order seeks to elevate aud dignify its votaries. Law Membership The letter of our of requires that applicants for membership shall.be actual, bona fide, practical farm¬ ers. Editors, who are iu known sympa¬ thy with our Order, are eligible to mem¬ bership free of initiation fee. Ministers of the Gospel are likewise eligible, but are subject to free regulations. The minimum number whieh can ob¬ tain a charter is 0*) nine males and (4) four females aud the maximum wliieh will be allowed to apply for same is (20) tweuty males aud y 10) ten females. After obtaining dispensation, the Grange can initiate indefinitely. There is great in¬ ducement held out to those who will be come charter members, (those who apply for dispensations are known as charter m mliers.) from the fact that males have j 1 only ($3) three dollars, and females (50; fifty cents to pay as initiation fees ; and besides they do not incur the tedium aud embarrassment aud delay incident to the initiatory ceremonies of all secret orgaui zatious, which those do who join after or gauizatiou. The fees of those who are not charter members are (.■$.■>) five dollars for males aud (2) two dollars for females; aud four successive meeting nights of the Grange are r quired before they can be come regular 1’atrous. Having ascertained that there is the re¬ quisite number who can join, and who are willing to organize ° a Grange, let the applicants , (or one party can write -s * for all) iw address our Deputies, whose business it is to organize " subordinate Granges, as fob i lowh ' If applicants live iu the First, Second, or Third Congressional District, address Dr. TTr .1 J.d.
