Aside from the commonwealth of Georgia, no institution now existing antedates tin* Bethesda Orphan House. One hundred and forty -three years ago the first band of orphans were gathered together on that sacred spot by its illus trious founder. George Ml bitfield. According to Mr. Whitfield’s evidence, the idea of tlie orphan House was con ceived by General Oglethorpe and himself. The latter arrived in Savannah Maya, 1735, then a settlement in the wilderness, and the first object that attracted hi- at tention was the condition of tl children, especially the orphans, and seeing the ne cessity ol immediately providing for them, he used the rnonev collected in Eng land for other charitable purposes, hi ml u house und servants and placed such children under proper care. Having tints secured a temporary place for his orphans, he set earnestly to work to carry out the plan of Gen*. Oglethorpe and himself and establish an orphan house, recrossed the Atlantic and was cordially received by the trustees of the eolonv.who offered him a salary to labor in Savannah, but he declined, and asked in stead the grant of a tract of land on w hich to erect hisOrpban House. The trus tees at once complied with his request ami donated to him the live hundred acres of land, the property still known as “Be thesda.” In loss than a year lie collected over a thousand pounds. On his return to savannah he received from the Council of Georgia the title to the land, and after arranging his affairs he made a tour o! the other colonies ami succeeded so well in his efforts that on the 25th of March. 1740. was laid the first brick of the Orphan House, named bv him “Bethesda.'’ a -house of mercy.’’ In 1741 we learn that "the house contained sixty-eight children: the whole family numbering eighty-four persons, besides eighteen laborers em ployed on the premises.” Leaving Bethesda in a flourishing con dition. Whitfield returned to England and spent two years—l74B-'49—as chaplain to l.adv Huntingdon, who afterwards be came the zealous patron and supporter of Bethesda. He labored in England to make Bethesda a college where all the advantages of a liberal education could Ik* enjoyed. In 17.54 we find him again at Bethesda, and from that time until his death, which occurred at New bury port. Mass.. Septemltcr 30. 1770, whence he had gone to recuperate his health, we find him labor [ ing in behalf of his house of mercy. After ; Whitfield's death, his friend, the Countess i of Huntingdon, to whom he bequeathed I Bethesda, sent over her own housekeeper 1 to take charge ol the domestic affairs of the ; institution. About this time the Countess established a mission to the Cherokee*!n dians. and Bethesda was made the head quarters for the miflpionaries. The war ot' the revolution came on and the work at Bethesda languished. At its close, how ever. Ladv Huntingdon, despite the de struction of the buildings by fire and the ravages of war. re-established the institution and extended to it her zealous support until her death, which event took place in 1791 at the ad \ anced age of S4. At her death the State of Georgia reclaimed the estate and placed Bethesda under the control of trustees, who did nothing until 1801, when they made an appropriation towards repairing'anl completing the north wing of "Bethesda College,” and estab lished regulations l'or the school. The place was again in a pros|K*rous condition, possessing every facility to make it rank with the leading institutions of learning in the country. These bright prospects, how ever. were not destined to last. A lire in I no;, destroyed one of the wings and so in jured the other parts of the building as to "render it lieyoml repair: the outbuild ings bad previously lieen seriously damaged bv the great hurricane of INOI. The trustees were unable to rebuild and under an act of the Legislature the property was sold in 1809, and the funds divided between several charitable institutions of Savannah, the I'nion Society, a cotemporaneous chari table institution, founded in 1750, and hav ing for its object the care of orphan and destitute boys, being one of the number. This society continued Whitfield's work. Bethesda, around which clustered the brightest pages In Georgia’s history, and in whose behalf George Whitfield had traversed two continents, passed away into history. "Bethesda’.- gate is still. No cries its (k,reties tilt.” For forty-live years Bethesda's gates were closed. The orphan, however, was still cared for. but not within its portals. Whitfield's spirit still hovered over the sacred place. In 1854 the Union So ciety purchased the Bethesda tract, and at once erected suitable buildings thereon, and removed the orphans under its cliui-jKro to tlo* lln.hoi, House. Whit field's prayer was answered; ".set thy Almighty fiat to it. o. Gracious Father, ami for Thine own name's sake, convince us more and more that Thou wilt never forsake those who put their trust in Thee.” The new Bethesda has also had its suc cesses and reverses, but its doors have never lieen closed to the orphan or desti tute boy. This year its sphere of usefulness is enlarged, and it will Ik* able t<i care for more than have ever yet been sheltered within its gates. Let its anni versary to-morrow be remembered by our people". Sneak Thief Kobbery—A Congress Street Residence Entered and Valuable Jew elry Stolen. A Isilil and successful attempt at sneak thieving was committed at No. 213 Con gress street early yesterday morning. The thieves effected an entrance through a rear window from a yard by unlocking the blind and entering through the open sash. They proceeded through the dining room to the sleeping apart ments oi' the gentleman and his wife, where they took the gentleman's clothing from a trunk at the side of the bed and rifled the |KK'kets of their contents, secur ing a small sum of money. They also took from the dressing case a jewel liox containing several sets of jewelry and valuable rings. After securing whatever they could get into their possession of convertible value, they left by the same window. They entered and escaped with out arousing the inmates of the house. The boldness with which the theft was committed showed that the thieves were familiar with the premises, and knew the exact location of the furniture in the rooms. Several article of \ aluc,including silver tableware werojleft undisturbed, and it is supposed that the object ot the robbery was to secure money or" articles upon which money could Ik* realized. The loss wasl not discovered until yesterday morning, when the gentle man's" pantaloons and vest were missing from the trunk where they were placed the night before, and were found in tlie kitchen afterwards, thrown across a re frigerator. No clue lias been obtained to the perpetrators of the theft, and it is probable their identity will remain undis covered. The total loss is estimated at alsmt sU)t>. A Storm Moving South. The high wind of yesterday made w alk ing exceedingly disagreeable, owing to tin* clouds of dust. A light rain fell dur ing the night, but by midnight the sky cleared and the moon shone out. The wind continued brisk, however. A gale was report is lat Tybee. The observer at this point at 12:.V this morning received the following dispatch: ‘•Washington, D. April '2:5, is*:;. 4 ‘o hm reer, Savannah: Cp signals. The storm is central in Tennessee, and is ai>- parciillv moving towards the South At lantic coast. Dangerous winds are anti cipated for the South Atlantic coast and that of Florida to-morrow. II azkn." The slate Metical Association.

Organizing for Temperance—Stirring Address from Bishop Gross. Following the meeting at the Cathedral last Thursday evening another very en thusiastic temperance meeting was held m Cathedral basement yesterday after noon. It was for the purpose of organiz ing a Ladies’ Total Abstinence Society, and the attendance showed that consider able interest had leen awakened in the movement. The address of the evening was delivered by Bishop Gross, and while he is always a most ready anil pleasing speaker, lie Seldom, if ever, impressed his hearers more favorably than he did on this occasion. For fact, argument, pathos and touching appeal, his address was masterly and convincing. Giv ing the wide spread extent of the evil of drunkenness, showing its ravages in the home and its baneful effect upon so ciety. be apjiealed to wives and mothers to organize for its overthrow. The great and dreadful power of drunkenness lay in the fact that it opened the floodgate for all other evils. Cataloging the Command ments he told how they were all broken and violated, the more readily through in temperance. Specially pleading with the young ladies, he insisted that they should demand purity of life anil manners lrom their gentlemen acquaint ances, and stating that if they did this what glorious results they could accom plish. "The young lady who goes to the altar with a drinking young mail to take the vows of matrimony, had better far Ik* brought there in a coffin, for a life of mis ery was before her.” He desired the ladies to know that he most heartily ap proved of this movement, “not for your own benefit, ob, no! but because you can do so much towards discountenancing those social customs which render drunkenness so prevalent." He wished the best, those upon whom there was not the slightest shadow of reproach to be come members so they could become missionaries for the uprooting oi this evil. The address received the most marked at tention, but having another talk to make he was compelled to leave the meeting for others to finish the orgauizatjon. Mr. N. F. Thompson, in behalf of the committee from St. John the Baptist T. A. B. Society, made a'few remarks ex planatory of the organization desired, closing with a most earnest and touching appeal in favor of total abstinence princi ples. Some forty names were obtained, among whom were a number of promi nent and influential Catholic ladies. An other meeting will be held next Sunday afternoon to complete the organization of the society. THE STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL Arrangements for the Coming Conven tion at Augusta. The programmes for the tenth annual session of the state Association, to be held at Augusta, May 2,3 and 4, have been issued. Mr. R. B. Keppard, Presi dent of the Association, has issued the following circular: The constitution of the association says: '.“The association shall be composed of one delegate for every one hundred meml*crs of Sunday schools composing the county associa tion, and in counties where no associa tion exists, two delegates for every repre sentative to which the county is entitled in the General Assembly of the State. In counties where no association exists the delegates will be appointed by the Vice President of the State associa tion for that Congressional district. The interest, which is apparent throughout the State, indicates that the approaching session of tin* Georgia Sunday School As sociation at Augusta will be the largest ever held in tlie State of Georgia. The programme promises great enjoyment to every delegate who attends, and great preparations are being made by tin* work ers in Augusta for a grand Sunday school mass meeting, which in all probability may number fifteen thousand people. The arrangements made with tin* several railroads are as follows: Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, and the Western and Atlantic Railroad, three cents ]R*r mile, round trip—or in other words—one half the regular rates. Georgia Railroad, the Central Railroad, the Southwestern, and the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, three cents per mile going, and one cent per mile returning. The Richmond and Danville Railroad, two cents and a half per mile each way. We again call the attention of tiie Sun day school workers throughout the State to this convention of the Georgia State Sunday School Association, with the hope that tliey will lose no time in the appoint ment of "delegates, and notiiying Mr. J. L. Bowles, Chairman of the Reception Com mitto at Augusta, Ga., so that homes may lie provided, and all confusion avoided on their arrival at Augusta. The Vice Presidents and Secretaries ot each Congressional district would do well to set* that there is a delegation appointed tricts, and notify the State Secretary of the names of all delegates, and as far as practicable lead their several delegations in |R*rson to the convention. The great good individually and collectively that results from these conventions, in the quickening of the spirit, in the dissemi nation of useful knowledge, and the dif fusion of various methods for conduct ing the grand work in the Sunday school department of the church, is so apparent, and has been experienced by so many noble Christian workers, that any attempt to argue in their tiehalf is totally unnecessary, and we therefore trust that representative members of all denomina tions, from every section of this great state will go to Augusta and enjoy the rich feast of spiritual things in store for all who attend. The good people of Augusta have opened their hearts and homes, and are prepared to extend a cordial welcome to all. City Court Assignments. The following criminal eases are as signed for trial in the City Court to day, the 23d inst., at 4 p. m., J>efore Hon. Win. I). Harden, Judge: Marv Chisolm, larceny from the house.

Sarah Roberts, assault and battery. Sainmie Segur, assault and battery. An Incipient Fire. Some excitement was created on the West Side Saturday by an incipient tire in" a house on the corner of Hull and West Broad streets. An alarm was given and the cry of tire at once collected a crowd. A party was sent to turn in an alarm from the signal box at the Central Railroad depot, but before it was clone the lire was extinguished by a number of gentlemen with pails of water. The dam age was slight. One Experience from Many, 1 have l>een sick and miserable so long and had caused my husband so much trouble and expense, no one seemed to know wliat ailed me, that I was com pletely disheartened and discouraged. In this frame of mind I got a bottle of Hop Bitters, and used them unknown to my family. I soon began to improve, and gained so fast that my husband and fami ly thought it strange" and unnatural, but when I told them what had helped me, they said: “Hurrah for Hop Bitters! Long may they prosper, for they have made mother w’ell and usnannv ’’ — /’he Mother. In the notice of the “Fordon’s Auto matic Boiler Cleaner,” w hich appeared in yesterday’s naper, the name J. J.

TIIE PRESIDENT ON THE WING. His Departure from tlie Sunny South- Sensational Rumors a* to His Illness. There Was a quiet group on the wharf at the foot of Lincoln street Saturday afternoon to witness the landing of the President from the Tallapoosa prior to iiis departure for the North by rail. Since liis going aboard the ship late Thursday night he had not lieen ashore. There were various rumors current as to the cause, and extravagant [reports were circulated as to his illness. They were, however, without foundation, as the President was in no wise ill except for a slight indisposition and fatigue incident to the exertions of Thursday. The rumors were the cause of the early departure, as the party had concluded to remain in Savan nah "until to-day, and arrangements for their entertainment had been made. It is not known from what source tlie state ment originated, but the report was cur rent in New York and was credited by leading newspapers that the President had a congestive chill, and his life had onlv been saved by heroic treatment. Otlier reports of a sensational character were circulated, and telegrams of inquiry were received front the North and West and from the government departments at the capital. Secretary Frelinghuysen was immediately informed of the falla cious nature of the report, that the Presi dent was in his usual health, and that the party would leave at once and arrive in Washington last night. The President was manifestly annoyed by the report of his illness, and determined to quiet all alarm by his immediate presence at the capital. The baggage of the party was trans ferred frorii the ship to the Savannah, Florida and Western depot early in the afternoon, and shortly after 3 o’clock the President, accompanied by his private secretary and Secretary Chandler, was rowed ashore, and, with Captain Botts, were driven to the depot, where they were joined by Mr. Miller. They at once en tered the private car placed at the service of the party by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Here thev were met by Mrs. Botts and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Johnson, Captain and Mrs. Mercer, Miss Bruce. Miss Cope, Judge W. S. Chisholm, Cffpt. Robert Falligant and Col. J. H. M.Clinch, who were the parties admitted to the ear. There was no demonstration, and the de parture was only witnessed by a few who had gathered from the vicinity of the de pot. The friends and relatives of the President remained until the departure of the train for Charleston at 4:30 o’clock, whence the President, Secretary Chandler, and Messrs. Phillips and Miller proceed direct to Washington, where they arrived last night at 9:3ffo’clock and were met by crowds of people. The party was in good health and showed no signs ol fatigue. Mr. Arthur expressed his appreciation of the cordial reception extended to him as Chief Magistrate of the republic, and the generous hospitality offered during, his stay in the Forest City. MONUMENT TO MR. IVADLEY. To Ise Erected Over His Grave at ISo lingbroke. The directors of the Central Railroad have determined to pay a most appropri ate tribute to the memory of the late W. M. Wadlev. A magnificent vault and monument is to be erected over his grave ;it his old residence near Bolingbroke. The work will require thirty car loads of granite, which will be brought from Stone Mountain. The first ten ears of the gran ite will go through Atlanta on Monday, and two similar lots will go later. The design and finish of the monument will be such as to make it a worthy memorial to the man over whose dust it is to be placed. The cost oi the work is not given, but it will be large. It is to be begun at once, and will be completed this summer.—At lanta Constitution. The above statement is not exactly cor rect. The vault over the remains of Colonel Wadlev is being erected by his family. The day is not far distant, we trust, when the Central Railroad direc tory will erect a monument in this city to "commemorate the virtues of its la mented President. Montgomery and Isle of Hope. These two well known places of resort promise to be more popular than ever this season. At Montgomery the new hotel will be open in a few weeks, and will be the best fitted establishment of the kind that we have ever had in the vicinity of Savannah. We have heretofore referred to what had lieen done in the way of im provements, and the external lifting up of the buildings will lie in keeping with the general improvements. The hotel will have new and elegant furniture,purchased lit this city. Mr. Bruce, the proprietor, is now at the North buying such other arti cles as could not be procured here. In addition to the hotel we learn that • loi'K” f•€-•*a-lfa.jg- ..BtnMUhmpnt oonihill. mg several private residences, will opened at Montgomery anil also one on the same plan at Beaulieu. At Isle of Hope there will also be a large private boarding house, and the railway company are offering the house on its grounds for rent. Here also are two large dancing platforms. A. new dancing pavilion and picnic ground is lieing fitted up at Montgomery, so that parties who do not want to use those in the hotel grounds, can be accom modated. From ties it will be seen that there will be no lack of places for out citizens to go this summer. Military Shooting at Schiiet/.en Park. At the last meeting of the Captains of the military teams nearly all of the com panies entered, and it is settled that all now remaining will enter soon, and the match will be an interesting one. The arrangements are perfected as far as possible, and ten shots will be allowed to each contestant. There will be two prizes: The first prize will be as costly atul ele gant as has ever been shot for at any match in Savannah, and will be worth the total amount of the entrance’ fee. The second prize will also be handsome and worth competing for. The entrance fee will be $lO per team. The committee would like all teams not entered so far to notify the Secretary as early as possible, so as to be able to get programmes. At the Theatre. The attraction of the closing week at the theatre this season will he the pre sentation of the drama “Young Mrs. | Winthrop” by the Madison Square Ttaea- I tre Company of New York, to-night and to-morrow evening. The sale ot seats has been large, and a fashionable audi ence is anticipated. The production of “Young Mrs. Winthrop” was such a rare social and dramatic event, that some of the metropolitan dailies devoted over a column of space to the synopsis of the play, and a dissertation upon its merits. The drama was pronounced “perfect in plot and portrayal." It was brought out at the Madison Square Theatre on Octo ber 9, 18*2.

Southern Railroad ami Steamship Asso ciation Hate Committee Meet to Fix Transportation Charges. Baltimore Sun, 20th. The Rate Committee of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association met at the Carrollton Hotel, this city, yester day, and went earnestly to work at adjust ments and tariffs tor the several lines. Mr. Virgil Powers, General Pool Commis sioner, was Chairman; 51 r. Charles Sindall, Secretary. The mem bers of the committee are traffic managers or general freight agents of their companies. Those in attendance were Sol. Haas, of the Associated Lines ot Virginia and the Carolinas; E. P. Wilson, Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific; G. A. Whitehead, Central or Georgia: Joseph M. Brown, Western and Atlantic: James It. Ogden, East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia: S. B. Pickens, South Carolina Railway: J. M. Culp, Louisville and Nashville, other transportation men in attendance were Thomas H. Carter, of Virginia, arbitrator of the association: Colonel E. R. Dorsey, General Freight Agent, Georgia Railway; It. Colliran,Alabama and Great Southern: C. J. Waller and S. Hopkins, the freight officials of the Mobile and Ohio; .1. S. Davant, Port Royal and Augusta Road: J. J. Rogers, St. Louis and Iron Mountain; J. 11. Drake, Richmond and Danville: R. A. Barbour, Richmond and Alleghany: Wm. Plummer, of Baltimore, and General Groner,of Norfolk. .Merchants and Minors’ Transportation Company. This committee lias assigned to it the important work of arranging transporta tion rates lietween the South, the West and Eastern seaboard. The taritt sheets are made upon the bases which they adopt. The discussion yesterday was upon the questions of the rates from the West to Southern coast points. In that connection a delegation of merchants of Augusta, Ga., made an argument before the committee in favor oi an adjustment of rates which will be more satisfactory than the present tariff'. Messrs. Walter M. Jackson, James L. Fleming and Paul Muster, representative business men of Augusta, constituted the delegation. The body continued in session until 7 p. m., and adjourned to meet again to-day. The question of rates between the West and Southern seacoast was referred to a sub committee. The office of the general com missioner of the association is at Atlanta. Col. E. R. Dorsey, of the Georgia Rail road, who was in attendance at the South ern Railway and Steamship Association meeting in Baltimore, was formerly As sistant General Ticket Agent of the Balti more and Ohio. His headquarters are at Augusta, for which important Southern manufacturing city he predicts a great future. He says the erroneous statement that the operatives in the Georgia cotton mills are largely from the North lias lieen circulated. The facts are that tlie thou sands of white people employed in the dozen or more mills in and adjacent* to Augusta are of the home population. The wide and deep canal, with its fourteen miles of water front, which is supplied front the Savannah river, affords unex celled water power, and it is being utilized for extensive manufacturing enterprises. Southern people are not only quick at seeing what is good in the' methods of manufacture, but they readily learn where they can make improvements. One of the great new cotton mills, nearly ready for business, is an instance of this. It is an imposing and beautiful structure. The dwellings erected by the different compa nies for their operatives, and rented- at nominal rates, are better and handsomer* generally than those of Eastern factories. The railroads transport the products of the cotton mills in quantities all over the country. The Georgia Road carries from Augusta heavy shipments of domestics, plaids, cotton yarns, etc., which are des tined for Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, San Francisco, Omaha, St. Paul, Minne apolis, and many otlier points. The trans portation lines "also bring many consign ments to Baltimore merchants, Bal timore capital is invested in some of the Southern mills, and houses in this city are the agents for the sale of their products. These domestics more than hold their own with Eastern goods, and are reputed to lie stronger and heavier in the fabric. Eastern manufac turers have lately been after the trunk line roads for lower rates to the West for their goods in these special lines. They say they cannot otherwise compete with the Southern mills. Col. Dorsey said his as well as the others, can meet any reduc tion in rates in this trade. A good many cars sent South loaded with produce go back empty, and freights for them could be taken at low figures. He said the Southern people feel very easy in their minds about these competition matters; Some of these days the North will wake up to the full realization of the astonish ing progress the South, and especially the State of Georgia, is making in the devel opment of manufactures of all kinds. ** “In Tlie Worst Water.” The steamer “David Clark,” a little over two months ago, hail placed on her or."
