Barclay. ttuilncn HI valry. “ Competition is the life of trade,” is a truism which no sane man will have the hardihood to deny in the present day of bustle and activity in all branches of trade. In no one department of traffic, however, bus the adage been more strikingly illustrated than among our retail grocers. These institutions have multiplied greatly hero during the past two or three years, and the rivalry among the proprietors, though every way honorable, is greater than at any previous period. One capital idea among this class of dealers is the introduction of delivery wagons. These vehicles are gotten up with an eye to ornament as well as utility, and may be seen flitting through our streets at all hours. Their convenience to customers cannot be disputed. The pur' chasing of grocery supplies are no longer unpleasant or burthensorae to housekeepers. You leave your orders, pay your money, and ere you reach your home the goods havo been safely delivered. Thanks to an honest rivalry and a desire to please. Our Public Schools. We make no apology for the deep interest wo feel, as citizens and conductors of a public press, upon the subject of our Com mon Schools, and in all that relates to their welfare. And in this connection, we place upon record the following five general rules —prepared by a gentleman of long and varied experience in a portion of the coun try where its Public Schools are regarded with commendable pride: First. —No child under fifteen years of ago ought to be kept in school over four hours in any twenty-four. Second. —No child under fifteen years of age ought to be allowed to take any book out of the school room. Third. —No examination ought to be allowed for any purpose, or any pretext whatever. Fourth. —All promotions and all diplomas should be given on the basis of general good conduct and efficiency. Fifth. —No man ought to be accessible to the office of school management, unless he has actually taught school seven years. We agree with the same high authority, that this thing of school “examinations” is an absurdity, a farce, and a sliam; they are not intended for the benefit of the scholar, but the glorification of the teacher. A scholar who passes an examination is not a whit better scholar an hour after than he was an hour before; and a competent teacher ought to know as well before an examination as after whether a scholar should pass or not. It is well known that many a scholar passes by a trick, or a mere feat of memory, a sheer impudence; while a conscientious child, better qualified, fails to pass, from diffidence or want of memory. The great idea in school teaching should be to make the study agreeable; this alone would show the capability and genius of the teacher. “Shibkoleth, or Sectarianism*’ 9 A discourse under this title was delivered on Sunday last, at the Westminster Church, Twenty-second street, New York, the ad dress being a plea for the closer unity of the several Protestant Churches throughout the world. Dr. Archibald took for his text the 12th chapter of Judges, wherein is set forth the action of the Epliraimites in going to war with the Manassehites under Jeptha, after his victorious campaign against the Ammonites. After the men „of Gilead re pulsed the men of Ephraim they took pos. session of tho fords and the banks of the river Jordan, and slew all fugitives who could not pronounce the word “Shibboleth” according to the Giieaditish fashion. From their use of the word the speaker derived his meaning of sectarianism, showing that it simply meant “do as we do.” In follow ing his course of reasoning lie took occasion to describe the evils of sectarianism and of local divisions in the churches. As Frank lin said, a sectarian was like a man in a fog, t\ho always thought every one he met closely enveloped in the mist, while he was seemingly standing aloof, though actually as much enveloped by the humid atmos' phere as the others. The rigid sectarian was often like the inhabitants of our North ern climes, who frequently saw three suns or three moons instead of only one. His narrow or distorted vision saw half a dozen errors where, perhaps, not one existed. The speaker then gave a glowing de scription of the good to be accomplished by any of the denominational churches by uniting and making a combined effort, instead of struggling against each other’s influence; and he nrged the necessity of the proposed union by showing that in the Presbyterian church alone was so often presented the spectacle of two churches in one town counteracting each other’s good effect; whereas by a unity in the church to cooperate, one edifice and one preacher could do more work and effectual conver sion than the two under other circum stances. A merchant sending out a cloud of runners would not permit them to cross each other's path and hinder their fellows— why then should Christians work against each other by building up the barriers of sectarianism and checking the progress of true religion ? Like Abraham and Lot, they should cease to quarrel over the field, but divide it, and reap an abundant har vest therefrom. He considered the ultimate union of the Protestant ohurohes not far distant, and spoke of the numerous unions consum mated among the various branohes of the Presbyterian churches as an indication of the tendency of all true Christians to Amalgamate for tho better performance of tbo great work committed to their care There would be no denominations known in Heaven, and believers in tho Saviour only would be recognized. Hence sectari anism should disappear, as far as tho more bitter prejudices at least are concerned. OPFICIAL. MACON AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD, AND TDK CITY COUNCIL. The following is the Proposition, referred to in the abstract of the Proceedings of Council, on Friday afternoon, published in the Republican of the Bth instant: Proposition of Ibo Finance Committee es the City Council of Aufnein. The Finance Committee nf tbe City Council having conferred with the Committee cf the Board of Direotore of the Meson and Auguets Railroad Company, respectfully report that they fully recognise the obligation of the city to pay the asseesment celled for by the Railroad Com pany, in cub ; but that, in the present state of our money markets, to sell the City Bonds at market rates would be as great a sacrifice as to eubmit to tbe forfeiture of the amount already paid on the stock. We would, therefore, propose, as a measure likely to secure the interests of both parties, that the City issue Bonds to the amount of $250,000 —said Bonds to be given in trust to the Railroad Company as security for tbe ultimate payment of the $125,000; the City to pay semi annual interest on the $125,000 at such rate as may be negotiated Railroad Company, or this Committee, for tbe hire of the said $125,000, with a further provision that said Railroad Com pany may, at any time, sell so muoh of the said Bonds at not less than eighty.five cents (85o.) in the dollar, as may bo necessary to moot tho said call, and tho interest thereon. (Signed) F. BLODGETT, B. CONLY, E. TWEEDY, R. B. BULLOCK, Committeo. On motion of Judge King, the proposition of the City Council was accepted. The above is a true extract from the minutes of* tbe meeting of the Board of Directors of the Macon and Augusta Rail' •road Company, held January 17, 1808. J. A. S. Millioan, Secretary. A Fatal ftoncauiilre Occurred on Thursday evening last, in Rome, between Major Z. B. Hargrove, of that city, and a man by the name of Bowen, from Polk county, which resulted in Bowen's receiving nine buckshot in his right side from a double-barrelled gun, in the hands of Hargrove. The affair grew out of some misunderstanding that originated just before the close of the war. Bowen died iu a few hours after. He leaves a wife and several children. [Advertisement.] Chronic Catarrh, A Clergyman in a neighboring village had suffered for many years, from an obstinate catarrh, which had resisted all attempts for a cure. The obstruction and discharge from the nose was constant, destroying both taste and smell; and at times even interfering from the change of voice, with his public ministrations. Almost in des pair, he commenced the use of Humph reys Catarrh Specific No. 19, and after the use of only a few pills—one every night— found himself improved ; and ere ho had used an entire box, could consider himself entirely well. ts [Advertisement.] Goods at a Sacrifice. The purchasers of dry goods should not fail to take advantage of the opportunity offered, at 190 Broad street.

At this office the following Blanks, neatly printed, may be obtained, by the single sheet or by the quire: Garnishment Affi davit and Bond, Bail Bond, Attachment, Claim and Replevy Bond, Mortgage Bond, etc. ts [Advertisemen t.] Country Merchants, In making their purchases, will do well to call first on Mrs. Pughc, 190 Broad street, who is selling out her entire stock cheap. ts It is now generally acknowledged that Queen Victoria was the gentle peace maker who really prevented a riot in 1860, at the time the Reform meeting was proposed to be held iu Hyde D ark, London. She sent for Lord Derby, delivered to him her persona! command that no troops should be used, and,us she might well doubt whether he would feel bound to regard such a prohibition, re quired of him bis personal pledge that her order should be obeyed. Mrs. Yelverton, who is now in the South, is indefatigable in maintaining her rights. She lias raised anew action in the Edinburgh Court of Sessions for the pur pose of setting aside the judgments to the former litigations in the Scotch Courts in the House of Lords. The point upon which she relies is that the Scotch Courts have no jurisdiction to pronounce their judgments, Major Yelverton having never had a Scotch domicil. AUGUSTA MARKETS.

Orr, of South Carolina, apd General Longstreet, of the late Confederate army. It is reported that Mr. Brooks moved to add the name of Gen. Beauregard, but the committeo refused to include him. Among those summoned are Gen. Grant, mem bers of the Cabinet, including Stanton ; J. 11. Stillgon. of the New York World, and two members of Gen. Grant's staff.
