MILLEDGEVILLE:
TUESDAY, JUL Y 18, 187L
W- F- College Commencement.
The annual exercises of this Institu
tion were opened on Sunday, July 9tb,
by a sermon from Itev. Dr. Mann, of
Augusta. The effort was a fine one,
and received just commendation from
the audience. The Junior exhibition
on Monday was highly spoken of, sever*
al young ladies evincing great talent in
their essays. On Monday night follow
ed the Sophomore reading of selections,
and on Tuesday and Wednesday the
Senior class appeared. They monopo
lized two days on account of the large
number—there being thirty-two gradu
ates. Nineteen of these read Tuesday
morning, the remainder the following
day. This class, in addition to being
the largest, is considered among the
most talented that the College has ever
turnei out.
Love-s of music were entertained on
'Tuesday eveuiug by the Anuual Con
cert given by the pupils of the Institu
tion. T Li was extraordinarily fine, as
all the young ladies under the instruction
of the accomplished Professor Whitney,
exhibit great proficiency. We know
none that can surpass in musical per
fonnance the young ladies of the Wes
leyan Female College.
Other exercises of minor importance
took place; but we have presented con
cisely the leading features of the enter
taimuent, which was generally consid
ered by the public as quite a success,
Tie Old Capitol Ablaze.
In consequence of the difficulty of
obtaining a suitable room for their pur
poses, the Lodge of Good Templars,
recently organized in this city, was in
duced to apply to Gov. Bullock, for the
use of the Old Capitol. His Excellen
cy promptly responded with an order,
removing the guard, (four colored men,)
in charge, and placing the building in
posession of the applicants. By this ar
rangement an annual expense of 81,300
is saved to the Stale, and a gratified and
handsome compliment has been paid to
the important services of this philanthro
pic order. The old Hall of Represen
tatives has been neatly fitted up with
seats and lights, and on Friday night a
large assembly of our best and worthiest
citizens convened to listen to an address
on the subject of Temperance from Rev.
C. W. Lane. The remarks of the ac
complished speaker produced a profound
impression, and at the closi of his ar
gument; twenty-eight persons availed
themselves of the invitation of the
Chief Templar, and were duly initiated.
The many bright eyes and glowing
checks of the ladies present, smiled
their gracious approval, as the candi
dates rapidly handed in their names,
aad the great mass of the fair sex in
our midst; an heart and soul, fully in
sympathy with this great work of refor
mation. The Order, established here
only one month since, numbers one hun
dred members, and wc learn that ai-
j«ady thirty others have signified their
intention of joining at the next meeting.
It now embraces a large proportion of
the most influential ol our cisizens of
both sexes, and we coidially bid its no
ble purposes a bearty “God Speed.”
Gov. Bullock baa earned the thanks of
our people by his action in this matter,
aud as a suitable acknowledgement of
hi* services the following iesolution was
unanimous/y passed, previous to adjourn
ment :
Resolved, by the Milledgeville Lodge,
No, 115, of Good Templars, aud the
citizens assembled.
1. That the thanks of the Lodge, and
of the community are due and hereby
cordially tendered to His Excellency
Governor Bullock, for the use of ike
Old Capitol building so kindly furnish
ed, by him, to the Order.
2. The \V. C. T. is instructed to com
municate the above resolution to His
Excellency.
The San Francisco Chronicles ays:
‘•Mrs. Fair is quietly reposing in the cell
of the county jail. Her surroundings
are as comfortable and cheerful as possi
ble under the circumstances. Her moth
er and daughter, and a few ot her sex 1
who still feel interested in her fate, are
allowed to visit her by permission of the
sheriff. She sleeps but little, which is
scarcely to be wondered at. With the
past and the future free to work their
will with her in dreams, sleep would be
torfme. Her appetite is dainty and ex>
acting, but not craving."
She has been respited by the Gover
nor until October, and the probability
now is that she will escape her merited
punishment, as procrastination general-
Jy produces final respite.
AT&USTA 2IST2ICT CObTEUINCI.
This body met in the Methodist
Church at Warrenton, July 7th, at 9 o’
clock A. M. The Eastern delegation
had arrived the day previous and the
opening sermon bad been preached Wed
nesday night by Rev. L. J. Davies.
The Western delegation, with Bishop
Pierce, arrived Thursday morning and
repaired immediately to the Church.
The first service was the dedication of a
beautiful church wLich bad just been
finished. The BisLop preached the ser
mon from the passage of the Psalmist,
“Peace be within tLy walls and ptos-
perity within thy palaces,” fcc. At the
afternoon session, it was found that 72
delegates bad reported, besides many
visitors—making the meeting the largest
one of the kind your correspondent has
ever attended. But for a’1 this, it was
not a match for the hospitality of that
people. I hope to say more of this
hereafter.
With the evening session began that
scrutinizing, sifting, questioning and
cross-questioning examination into the
state of the church, which leaves not
one stone unturued, and which is the
life and power of these assemblies. No
evasion—no ambiguity allowed; to the
law and the testimony we are kept. No
array of figure?, nor disply of numbers,
nor elaborate report, nor approximate
guessing can satisfy these prying bodies.
They are after truth, and they “search
for it as with a lighted candle." They
have a most unwelcome way of finding
out how our people live—how they talk—
how feel—how they trade—what manner
of spirit they are of: Whether they pray
in secret and in their families—whether
they attend the means of grace, espe
cially prayer meetiug, class meetings,
social meetings, love feasts and preach
ing. These bodies insist upon thrust
ing their own fingers opon the pulse of
the church that they may feel and know
for themselves how beats the heart of
the church of God. And each delega
tion feeid by the lime they are done
with them that whatever the tiath may
be, they knew it all. This process, like
the chastisement of the righteous, some
times “seemetlr not to be joyous but
grievous; but afterwards it yieldeth the
peaceable fruits of righteousness unto
them who are exercised thereby."
I was amused at a member of the Mil-
ledgevi le delegation. He is a worthy
good and useful mao. But there was
one duty he had not the courage to take
up. And yet it was a duty that the
Conference adjudged a very vital mat-,
ter. It was pressed by laymen and
preachers. Again and again was it
urged. Hotter and hotter had become
the firo. Ilis pastor had told him, balf-
playfully, to note every word said on that
subject. But the fact was, be had al
ready noted a great deal more than be
had enjoyed. And though no
one knew it, every one had given him a
cuff and he was sore on the subject. Fi
nally, the tide set in another direction,
much to his relief. A layman from Rich
mond county—a true lover of the church -
made a rcgnlar charge oji the clergy.
Ilis remarks were just and needful. We
were glad to hear them. But the hap
piest man on that floor wa6 the said del
egate from Milledgeville, when he saw
the attack on the clergy fairly opened.
He punched his pastor—he winked at
him, and laughed at him, and shewed
such signs of joy as proved that that was
the happiest moment of bis Btay in W&r-
renton.
This ‘‘Inquiry Meeting” was contin
ued through Thursday, Friday and un
til noon Saturday. Preachiug each
day at 11 o’clock and at night. Suffice
it to say of the preaching, that “it was
of a sort with” the meeting—close and
searching and meltiDg. And believe
me, reader, here lies the secret of the
wonderful power that attends these
meetings. Long may they live, and may
all such laymen as our worthy delegate
from Milledgeville, be present and get
their dues. May they ever have the
happiness to 6ee the clergy get whatev
er they deserve; and may it ever be as
pleasant with us as at Warrenton, is the
prayer of your
Clerical Con respondent.

Our Schools.
Mi UTS. Editors: The duties ot my
position as County School Commission
er making it imperative upon me to look
after the educational interest of the
county, and being impelled by consider
ations not in the line of these require
ments, I Lave visited with gratifying
results, the anniversary exercises of a
number of our Schools. It would afford
me pleasure to add my testimony in
terms of praise and commendation of the
peculiar merits of some of them as evi
denced in their general tone and discip
line, and in the disposition on the part
of teachers to discard usages and pro
cesses not founded in reason, and to sub
stitute therefor methods more in barmo.
ny with the laws of miud and true edu
cational development; but leaving that
task to others, whose zeal for the cause,
though in some respects commendable,is,
in my judgment, partial, in some instan
ces, to an extent that is really damaging
to the interest of teachers who make
less attempt at show and paraphernalia,
but who are equally if not surpassingly
meritorious, I proceed ip present a short
view of the educational situation of the
county as determined by recent observa
tion.
To tbe careful observer iu matters
pertaining to education, no one thing is
more patent than that the upheaval of
society, and the breaking up of our so
cial and political institutions, consequent
upon the disastrous results of the war,
have, to a great extent, unsettled the
views of many of our people on the im
portant subject of the educational train
ing of their children. And although
the tendencies of the sge are yet too
much to materialism, and the develop
ment of tbe material resources of the
country is receiving more attention, rel
atively speaking, tbau it should in a
well-adjusted civilization, in spite of the
almost universal complaint of want of
means for mental culture, there is a larg
er pioportion of the children of parents
with limited means in the schools than for
merly. These go to snow the increased
estimatiou in which the subject of edu
cation is regarded—to contribute in no
small degree to the geueral impulse giv
en to the cause, aud to the filliug up of
the schools.
The above facts, together with tbe
anomalous condition of tbe country have
superinduced a higher degree of excel
lence from tbe teachers by the public,
and instituted in their minds intelligent
inquiry for methods more in accord with
the fundamental principles of science
and with the spirit and progress of the
times,
But encouraging as aro the signs of
tbe times in tbe right development of
mind by the application, in some quar
ters, of more enlightened views and
processes, I feel that the intelligent pub*,
lie will agree with me in saying that
in many ol our schools there is on the
part of teachers either a lamentable mis
conception of the nature of tbe trust
positions impose upon them, or a willing
and slavish truckling to the vitiated
tastes and dppraved appetites of the
populace. I have reference to the moral
effect to the pupils of the teacher hav
ing them to appear at public examina
tions with compositions impliedly their
own, embracing metaphysical disquisi
tions on subjects of which they can have
no comprehension, and in some instan
ces made up of‘‘slang phrases," iuuendo,
and castigation of character and vices in
language more becoming a termagant
than a modest school girl, when in fact
the combined talents of fathers, mothers,
sisters, literary friends and, in some in
stances, teachers have contributed to
their production.
“As the old ones sung, so twitter the young.”
Such exbibitious may pander to the
pride of admiring parents as showing
how well tbe young idea has learned to
shoot, and serve to tickle tbe fancy of
the^excitcment-loving populace bat, in
my judgment, they tend to develop him
in a direction in which he is already too
p.one to go, and to encourage iu him a
species of deception plagiarism for which
tbe teacher alone is responsible.
Cowper very truthfully says:
“From education, as the leading cause,
The public character its color diaws
Thence the prevailing manners take their cast,
Extravagant or sober, loose or chaste.”
In tbe hands of educators are the
destinies of the rising ’generation, and
just in proportion as they recognize the
right of formation of character to be the
chief end and aim of education by “cul
tivating aud keeping clean the morals”
of their pupils and teaching them that,
‘'Because right is right, to follow right
Were wisdom on the score of consequence,”
to that extent will they fulfill tbe high
duties of their station, aud prove them
selves benefactors of their race.
To educate improperly is to defraud
tbe country—and to cheat the parent
out of the heritage for which he pays
his money and lavishes his hopes, is a
crime against society and morality of
which teachers should justly be held ac
countable.
To teachers especially do I make my
warmest appeals to cultivate .personally
and practically a finer and deeper sym
pathy with each other’s lives—a more
hearty brotherhood in their noble call
ing, and a greater zeal in concerted ac
tion toward the fulfillment of tasks pe
culiarly allotted to them.
The present marks a new era in th
history of education. We are upon the
eve of a general educational revival—a
revival that will sweep as “with tbe be
som ot destruction” over the length and
breadth of the laud, tearing down the
strongholds of ignorance aud stupidity,
unsettling the foundations of bigotry and
intolerance, and erecting amid their ru
ins temples of learning dedicated to the
highest development of reason, and of
moral and spiritual truth.
In view of the many channels throngh
which erroneous knowledgo may be con
voyed, there is an increased demaud
that those entrusted with the youths cf
our beloved country should entertain
tbe most exalted views of physical, in
tellectual and moral development, and
that they should constantly seek to at
tain greater insight into those laws of
inner being, whence arise tbe particular
shades of individual character—for it is
here that the true teacher’s noblest work
appears. Under the most earnest con.
viction of the high calling of teachers
and the expanding demands of the age
upon them, I close in tbe words of one,
similarly impressed, who has truly and
nobly said; “Tbe educated man ia meant
to be, not a subject of philosophic cli
mate or geographical sections, but the
incarnation of an illimitable humanity,
with all the Universe in his leaping pul
ses, with life eternal in tbe organs of his
liberal and believing soul. Teachers
are the directors under Christ—the mas
ters of this immortal rearing. The Prus
sians have a wise maxim, that whatever
you would have appear in a nation’s life,
you must pat i(4o its schools. Eatering

Singular Freak of the Storm Shg.
The storm which passed over our city
on Monday afternoon played wild an-1
tics on a gentleman’s plantation in
Beach Island, South Corolina. Two ad
joining fields, each containing one hun
dred acres, surrounded by a high, strong,
and perfectly new rail fence, were plant
ed one in corn and the other in cotton,
both of which were in splendid order
and growing finely. A perfect hurri
cane, accompanied by a deluge of rain
■nd hail, swept over these two fields,
leaving the surrounding eouitry literal
ly untouched. The corn was completely
riddled by tbe bail, the fodder being
rendered unfit for pulling, and the cot
ton battered and beat down in sneb a
manner that tbe owner is afraid that it
is ruined past redemption. The fenc
ing which was as substantial as rail
fences can be made, waB prostrated to
tbe ground, while a large hickory tree,
which bad stood in it for many years,
was torn up by the roots. Several other
trees were blown down, and tbe area
presents tbe apppearance of having
been swept by a besom of destruction.
Not a drop of rain fell in tbe neighbor
hood.—Avgusta Constitutionalist.

The Great Eclipse Screw Cotton Press!
Patented February 27th. 1871, by FINDLAY Ac CRAIG. An ANTI FRICTION SCREW—
A MECHANICAL WONDER. This wonderful mechanical achievement iu point of RA
PIDITY and LIGHTNESS of DRAUGHT. STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL, and is des
tined st an early day to supercede ALL OTHER Cotton Screws, be they fabricated of Wrought
or Cast lion.
Since last fall, and before accepting Patent, we ad ed improvements and labor-saving con
veniencss, rendering it PERFECT in every particular. The screw, or pin, has a pitch, or
fall, of 6$ inches , that is, at every turn ot the screw, follower block descends (or ascends, as
the case may be) 6^ inches. The device cf the tube or nut in which the screw works,
Is such as to materially reduce the friction, so great in the common screw ; thereby ren
dering it an easy task for three hands to pack a bale of cotton in HALF THE TIME
of ANY OTHER Iron Screw Press by horse power. When desirable, an ordinary
mule can be substituted for three men w ithout change of fixtures. (Screw Presses also
arranged for water and steam power.) We claim for the “ECLIPSE” SIMPLICITY,
STRENGTH, DURABILITY, RAPIDITY. LIGHT DRAUGHT, and STANDING ROOM
at top of box, etc., etc.; ice pronounce it the BEST Screw Press IN’ THE WORLD, and res
pectfully invite a public test with anv and all other Screw Presses. To purchasers, we GUAR
ANTEE SATISFACTION or REFUND PRICE MONEY. Orders daily received from dif
ferent States attest its popularity even iu infancy. To parties who may not desire such ra
pidity in packing, we can supply them with the COMMON WROUGHT IRON SCREW of
fine (slow) pitch, aud warrant them equal to any other Wrought Screw manufactured. But
above all others, we recommend the strong, rapid, light draught “ECLIPSE.”
