Appleton, book publishers, of New York, have given Bishop Beckwith the sum of $20,000 for the purpose of buihi ing an Orphans’ Asylum i:> .'l'icon, under the auspices of the Episcopal Church. Two or three acres'of ground have been purchased from the city, upon which the necessary buildings will be erected. The ground lies immediately in the rear of, and includes the old Macon and Western depot, just this side of Vineville. The Appletons are members of the Epis copal Church, and donated this handsome sum at the solicitation of Bishop Beckwith. It is designed to erect such buildings and make such improvements as the fundswill warrant. Perhaps others will make contri butions, and a sufficient amount be raised to build a magnificent home for orphans, The city sold the ground for S2O. - -• Our SchoolarTw*’ P° r »ay. We deem it preferable to have two day sessions in our public schools rather than one. When there is but one session each day, it extends from eight o’clock in the forenoon until two o’clock in the afternoon. Although, between these hours, there is an intermission of forty-five minutes, the'session is too long, and the intermission too short, to be of any advantage to the pupil. Wheu we have two sessions per day, the pupils enter school in the morning at nine o’clock and are dismissed at noon ; the afternoon session commences at two and terminates at half past four o’clock. Our reasons in favor of two sessions per day are as follows: Among the middling aud poorer classes—those who depend upon manual'labor for a living—it becomes neces sary that the head of the family should have an early breakfast. When he comes home to his dinner, it must be at the hour of noon. These two meals must be provided for him at such hours as will accommodate his work. If the children are confined to a single school session per day, they must either cany their dinners with them, to be eaten during recess, or go without dinner till after two o'clock in the afternoon. If they carry their dinners with them to school, the preparation of those dinners gives extra work to the wife, and the mid day meal is unsatisfactory to the parents when the children are absent from the table. If they attend school without refreshments they become almost famished with hunger before twe o’clock in the afternoon, aud then s special dinner must be provided for them. It must be remembered that as the head of the family commences his labors early in the morning, be must have his breakfast as early as six o’clock. The children are ex pected to take their matutinal meal with their parents. Il is preposterous to expect them to go without further refreshments until two o’clock in the afternoon. A pro tracted fast of eight honrs will not answer for children who are growing. It is incon venient for adults—how much more so must it be for children ? With one session per day, the time of the teachers is almost wholly devoted to the hearing of recitations. Very little, if any, time is left for practical direction as to study. When we have two sessions, the time of the teachers can be divided between the hearing of recitations and the instruction of the pupils, Both of these offices arc important. Either being neglected the school must fall into the rear. Moreover, when the mind of a child has been kept in a state of tension during three hours, relaxation becomes in dispensable. We may be told that the recess in the one-session system furnishes the need ful relaxation. Not so. There is a cessation from study, it is true, but the scholars are still in or about the school-room. To get the proper relaxation they should go home, where other scenes, other associations would tem porarily divert their minds from their school room and its tasks. «r With two sessions per day the pupils could take their meals with their parents— say at 6a. tn., 12 m., and 6 p. tn. These are the hours at which the working class generally take their meals. And the time between these meals is not long enough to require that the children should have any additional refreshments during the day. Any one can perceive how much trouble will be saved to the wife, who is usually a hard working woman, by a strict observance of al) her household with these hours for their daily meals. And the children, by coming to their dinner at noon, will have a real recreation from the exhaustive labors of the school-room. IVe may be told that some of our people do not dine until three, four, or five o’clock "l u 8 a *’ ternoon > that consequently the children of such parents can partake of din ner with the family when a single session of the day shall have ended—say at two o’clock P- m. True, but their children must be provided with refreshments to eat during the recess of a single session—and we have shown that such apologies for meals, while causing some trouble to the wealthy, are ’cry onerous upon the poorer classes. Re ■reshments at school, partaken of between a completed task and one to be immediately nitertaken, are anything but favorable to ‘gestion, and when persisted in they de emp the sallow countenances find sunken yes which disfigure too many of our youth, sound mind in a sound body is the desid tba attained ; and if we fail in this, ~.l J? I,nn ß oßr Mildren in the common ■w>ls may inflict an injury upon their n/ 8 * 08 ’y'dems for which they can obtain n « mental recompense. Augusta Prices Current AvcUbTA, Ga., September 11, feflf.

The Georgia Legislature. Atlanta, September 10, 1868. SENATE. The Journal was read and approved. Mr. Bowers, from the Committee on In ternal Improvements, presented a minority report adversely to State aid being extended to the Air-Line Railroad. Mr. Merrill asked the suspension of the lules for the purpose of introducing a reso lution looking to a final adjournment. In the course of some remarks on the subject he expressed fears that as the negroes had been declared ineligible, the next thing in order would be the expulsion of carpet” baggers and scalawags. The Senate refused to suspond the roles. The Senate then proceeded to the reading of House bills for the second time. A message was received from his Excel lency, stating that he had signed a resolu tion requesting the Executive to forbid the assembling of unauthorized armed bodies of men for drilling and other purposes. The rules were suspended for the first reading of House bill, extending State aid to the Air-Line Railroad. , A message was received from the House informing the Senate that that body had adopted a resolution to authorize, the late Treasurer to pay to the members and officers of the General Assembly all the money in the Treasury ; said payment to continue up to date of adjournment, and if not a suffi ciency at that time, to issue scrip in lieu thereof. The resolution was taken up, • Mr. Harris moved to disagree. Mr. Burns moved that the Senate concur. Mr. Merrill stated that since the revolu tionary action of the House Georgia bonds had depreciated two per cent. Mr. Winn said it would be robbery tonut a hand in the Treasury under the resolution of the House. 1 came here as a reconstruction Demo crat, and I believe that tbi* is a legitij mate body. Mr. Wooten made some very sensible remarks, and took ground that the present Governmant was upon us, and it should be sustained while it lasts. The resolution was laid on the table. A motion to adjourn was lost. The rule was suspended and a resolution was adopted prohibiting the introduction of new matter after the 20th September, ex cept by duuMntof the Senate. The Senate adjourned. SENATE. Mr. Hudson moved to reconsider so much <rf the proceedings of yesterday as relates to the resolution returning a portion of the Governor’s message introduced by Mr. Duncan. Mr. Phillips did not approve of the mes sage of the Governor, but thought, as be was Governor of our State, it was proper that we should treat him with respect; asked that the message be referred to a select committee to report upon it. Mr. Duncan hoped that the motion would not prevail, and called the previous ques ion. The vote was taken on the motion to reconsider, and the motion' lost. Mr. Caldwell asked to record his vote against the resolution, ns he was absent yes terday. He also presented a protest from the ne groes recently ousted. Mr. Phillips objected to the protest, as it was a misrepresentation of the facts. They were not expelled, but we decided against the eligibility. Mr. Caldwell spoke in f ivor of permitting the protest being put on ihe minutes of tbo House. Mr. Rawls called the previous question on the motion to lay on the table. The motion prevailed, ami ’ lie prutcot '.v.,3 laid on the table. The committee apoointed to investigate the Treasury repmie.l $11,850.00 in the Treasury. Some discussion ensued about pay. Mo tion to maku the per diem $7. Motion did not prevail. Mr. Hudson introduced a resolution to provide for the payment ul members, which was adopted, and transmitted to the Senate, Mr. Wilson—A resolution to permit the members claiming seats from the counties of Clark, Mclntosh, Macon ami Liberty to offer evidence ol their rights to seats Resolution adopted.

Harrison Nutt is horribly mangled and torn up, and it is thought will not recover. — Griffin Herald. S jWe heard yesterday that a negro woman, living somewhere it? the city started to leave home, and that her child begun to cry for her as children will for their parents. She became much enraged with the child because it would not hush, and picked up a hammer and mashed its skull in, killing it instantly. We understand the woman has been put in jail for the crime.-- Columbus Enquirer. On Monday evening, the 31st August, 1868, Mr. llartmau, u tailor in the employ of Messrs. Loewenstein & Pfiefcr, left the store-room, as he said, for a short walk, since which time bo has not boon heard of. We loam that he had previously been asso ciating with a very suspicious-looking char acter, who was of the same (German) birth, and both disappeared about the same time. Since the disappearance, the suspicious character, who is a stranger in this commu nity, lias returned, and says that a friend of his was choked to death near Forsyth, Ga., a short time ago,. Thetc is another rumoc i that this character told Hurtman, on the day previous to their doparlute, that there had been a plan arranged here to kill him with poison. We give these rumors as we receive them. Hartman left all he had of value behind. Hartman is a small, dark skinned German, about forty years of age, and, what is very unusual for one of his race, is mortal ugly both in the face and' general conformation. Any information concerning him will bo thankfully received at L. & l’/s, — Griffin Herald. (COMMERCIAL AUGUSTA MARKETS. OrrtcE Natioxal Rsn’ni.icAK, [ Friday, September ii —F.M.
