TM«t latmdlai Cam Im Notaan
Gen. Gartrcll, tho counsel lor yonng
Burdott of Nownan, has returned from
that place; also, several gentlemen re
siding there, were in the oity yesterday.
Oar leaders will recollect that in our
paper of tho 2Cth inst., we gave a state
ment of the case os it had been reported
to ns, viz : that Messrs. Kramer i Weill,
merchants, of that place, hud caused tho
arrest of thsir clerk (Mr. Burdott,) a high'
ly respectable young man, on a charge of
larceny; that they had suspected and
watched him for some time ; that they
finally confronted him alone in the store,
and with pistols sud threatening* caused
him to acknowledge tho chnrgo and turn
over to tin'll), by way of restitution
quantity of notes and valuable papers of
bis own, which were in his possession ;
and that the young man lmd can
Messrs. K. A- W. to tie arrested for rob
bery.
This is tlio substai.re of our statement
on the 2Clb.
Wo learn that its general tenor is cor
rect, bat that it is incorrect in this: that
the merchants had not caused the arrest
of young Bnidett, and farther, that in
the trio), or examination, no evidence
was advanced to show that the acknowl
edgment was extorted by an exhibition
of “pistols in band." With these two ex
ceptions, we learn that the account given
of tho affair was oorroct.
Some gentlemen of good standing in
Nuwnon were in the eity yesterday, who
report n high state of pnblio feeling in
that community. They say that it is al
leged and believed, tbe Messrs. K. A W.
are financially embarrassed, and that
wlut they did, was hat a step to relieve
themselves somewhat of their omburras-
mont; that they were owing Yancey
BurdeU’* father borrowed money, and
that among other valuable papers turned
over to them by him, was the note held
by bis father against them, which they
time compelled him to surrender, with
an endorsement of full satisfaction on it;
also notes upon other persons iu Coweta
connty, being in the same compulsory
way transferred to Messrs. K. & W.
It is said that after they had forced
him to give up oil tho mouoy and volu
able papers he had upon his person and
in his trank, they allowed him to depart,
with the admonition that he would do
well to say nothing about it; that they
hod the proof of his guilt and oould
send him to tho ponitontiary, but pre
ferred not to do so, and would never say
anything about it, if ho would keep
■till.
As soon, however, as ho was at liborty,
he had thou arrested on a ehargo of rob
bery. Tlio caso was bronght before a
Court of five Magistrates, who heard tho
examination. No witnesses was intro
duced, exoopt Young Burdott himself,
who testified to their calling him into tho
back offloe and oliargiug bim with larco-
ny, and that they usod threats, exhibited
knivos, and several times ono or more of
them (being throe in number thus con
fronting him) by placing tho hand in a
certain pocket, induced tho belief that a
pistol or pistols would be drawn, if all
thoir wishes wore not complied with.—
This is tho substance of tho testimony os
it is reported to ns.
Farther, That at this point of tho pro
ceeding, a proposition was niado by
Messrs. K. & W. through their counsel,
to compromise and settlo the wholo mat-
tor. This was agreed to, and all tho
notoe, money, Aa, whioh were given up
to thorn by Burdett were roetorod to him,
and Urns tho matter ends.
Wo havo tried simply to state tho facts
in tho ease os reported to ns. Of course
wo did not previously, nor do wo now,
know anything of the oase personally.—
We have only given such statements os
have been reported to us by goutlemeu
of good standing. If wo have mnde any
erroneous statements, or given publicity
to anything that is unjust to either party,
wo will cheerfully correct it whou the
foot is brought to our knowledge.

Tho numerous friends of this popular
institation, says tbe Lagrange Reporter,
will be gratified to learn that tbe rebuild
ing of the College edifice has been placed
under oontraot, and tbat tbe work which
has already been commenced will be
prossod forward so that the building will
be ready for uso by tbo opening of tho
next fall term. The liouso will be a two-
story building with a front of fifty-two
feot, with a length of seventy-two feel
Tho lower story will contain nine rooms
for recitations and music. Tho hall or
audience room will bo in tho upper story
and will extend throughout the building
with a height of sixteen feel At one
end of tho hall there will bo a rostrum
extending the entire width of tbe ball
and will be eighteen feet wide. At each
extremity of the rostrnm there will bo a
small room for music. From those two
rooms pianos can 1>o easily moved out on
public occasions. Tho lower story will
communicate with the upper by means
of a largo stairway at tbo front of the
building, and two small stairways from
tbo lower floor to tbe small rooms on the
rostrum. At each side of tho front of
the building, towers will be erected whioh
will contain threo rooms each. The gen
end plan of the building will bo nearly
tho same as tho old collcgo which was
burnt during tbo war. The rooms will
bR largo and convenient, and will furnish
when completed, nmplo accommodations
for two hundred and fifty pupils.
The Southern Female College was
chartered about thirty years ago. Since
that timo two hundred and thirty young
ladies have received the honors of grad
lution. In 1803 the College was de
stroyed by fire. Sineo that timo Mr. Cox
has preserved tho organization of the
College, and, notwithstanding difficulties
almost iuBupornble, it has grown in pub-
lio favor till now it enjoys a degree of
prosperity rarely equaled in this country,
The forthcoming cataloguo will mim
bor about ono hundred and twenty pu
pils, more than seventy-five of whom are
musio scholars. This great success is re
markable, achieved, as it has been, in
Bpito of difficulties arising from the want
of a suitable oollego building, and from
tbe financial troubles of the country, and
gives token of a bright fnturo for tho
College when those sources of embarrass
ment aro removed.
Tho completion of this building will
greatly incrcaso tho patronago from a dis
tance whioh is already largo. Parties,
too, in search of places to locate and ed
ucate their children, will properly esti
mate this additional inducement to sottlo
in out eity. Every proprietor of real es
tate, ovory merchant and every citizen
of LaQrange is therefore directly interes
ted iu pushing forward this enterprise,
and to this ond should contribute liberal
ly of his rncuus, and thoroby build up his
owu individual busiucss, while promoting
tho best interests of society.

REMARKS.
Tho wholesale trado of the city, has
not changed in condition—the demand
continaing active, though no very heavy
orders aro received. Whilo some of oar
merchants have not been active, yet they
have been moderately well patronized,
and tho greater part of them have done a
very fair business, considering the sea
son. We lutvo heard quite a number of
our “heavy” citizens express themselves
in regard to tho proposed Board of Trade
which is to bo organized to-nighl and
ail seem to agree in tho great usefulness
likely to result from such au institution.
It is to bo hoped that all our business
men will interest themselves in this mat
ter, and lend tho movement their pres
ence to-night. The benefits of such an
institution, of course, will not bo felt at
once, bat its groat influcnco in tho future
cannot bo disputed. Let there bo a largo
attendance.
Time transactions aro generally dis
couraged, and it is right that they should
bo. They aro tho fruitful sources of bank
ruptcy, and do more to demoralize trade
than uU the other causes combined.
“Pay as you go,” is a motto which every
business man should keep constantly be
tore him, os a strict observance of it
will enable bim to Btoer clear of the
financial breakers which too often cn-
gulph tho adventurous trader. Not only
will it ward off the probabilities of bank
ruptcy, but it will create a spirit of in
dependence and manly principle which a
debtor never can ossumo. We shall have
moro to say on this matter hereafter.
Tho retuil trado, of courso, always
maintains a certain degree of activity,
evon in tho dullest season. People must
cat aud drink aud wear good clothes,
whatever elso befalls. Probably tlio
greatest demand in tho markot is for ice,
os the impression seems to bo that the
weather is getting hotter, and is still
heating.
Cotton—There lias not boon much do
ing, owing to tho advanced season. There
is not likely to bo much excitement until
the oponing of tho coming season. From
conversations with leading cotton men
wo are unable to learn much, aud they
seem to bo pretty much ia tho coudition
of Micnwber, “waiting for something to
turn up.” Whether tho turn is in their
favor or not is too paradoxical a question
for as to docide. Iu conversation with a
gentloman from Henry county to-day, he
informed us that there is a plantation
near Snapping Shoals, in that county, on
which the cotton is five and six feet high,
and full,of blooms; bnt we can sfaclysay
that there aro not many more such in
Georgia. Wo continue to rcecivo gloomy
accounts from tho couutry regardiug the
growing crop. There is no doubt but that
tho smallest crop ’grown since tho war
will bo yielded this year. It is a source
of pleasure, however, to know Hint tho
greater numbor of onr planters will not
be dependent upon the staple for tho nec
essaries of life, an abundance of corn aud
vegetables having been grown. Cotton
presented for sale now is often of inferior
grade. Prices range from 18 to 13),
though au extra grade might bring 19c.
Flour.—Our merchants are receiving
heavy consignments of flour from the
Wost, and there is overy indication of an
easy feeling in tho market. As indicated
by us yesterday, a reduction in prices
has taken place. Superfine is;now quoted
at 86 25; extra, $7 25; family 88 25 to
88 75; fancy 89 25 to 89 75
Demand is very active, and the
opening of the fall season, in our judg
ment) will bring a marked reduction in
quotations. The inflated prices which
have been obtained must give way to a
healthier conditiou. Thc heavy wheat
crop of tho Wcat will assiat greulty iu
tliia reduction.
Grain.—Corn has been considerably
easier during the day, though thc do-
Balk meats—shoulders, 7); clear rib
Bides, 9; clear sides, 9).
Lard—Unchanged; tea. 12); kegs and

Dbt Goods—The demand for summer
fabrics is now decreasing, owing to tho
advanced state of tho season. Parties
having large supplies on hand will prob
ably be compelled to dispose of somo of
the stock at a sacrifice. The quotations
hitherto have not becu]siibject to much
change, but reductions may be lookod

This highly benevolent enterprise,
which was sot on foot by tho recent Bap

E. W. Warren, has been appointed to
tako charge of tho general operation of
tho movement; that a Constitution has
been adopted; that .the principal offico

Board has ratified tho agreement of tho
Committee engaging the services of Rev.
B. W. Fuller as Genoral Agent and can
vasscr to sccnro funds for endowment:
that ho will enter upon his dutios on tho
1st of August;—and ooucludes with an
appeal to tho Baptists of Georgia to sond

have been appointed a committee to re
ceivo propositions for doustious of land

The Board adjourned, subject to the
