1 us CoxsnTcnoH replies that it is abso
lutely certain that the government never can
lie “rescued from centralists” by leaving it
their h>md* : and that the Radical party-can
be ousted and overthrown only by a united
,t id hanitoniau* Democracy; that the S>utb
cm Domin'rats, who are waging war upon
the Northern Democracy and dictating plat
forms, are assisting the enemy to mierepn
sent, divide a.id overthrow the only i»arty
friendly to us. and that the defeat of the
Northern and Western Democracy in ap-
proaching St \te elections insures the defeat

action would rejoice to see a platform
ailopteif entirely to our taste at the South, it
is determined to support the National Demo
cralic party upon that platform, which in
Uieir wisdom tliey deem best calculated
achieve victory in the Northern and Western
States. Will the News do likewise?

If the News will publish our article entire,
from which it clips the above, its readers
will have no trouble in seeing our “drift.”

of “ Ku-K1 ;xi*m " and Southern op*

be used to horrify the Northern masses
against the Southern people and their Demo

w on under the most favorable circumstances,
bow can it be by a divided and wrangling
Democracy ? We regret to see so able a
journal as the News one of the very few
Georgia papers still pressing this unnecessary
a**auit upon the Northern and Western

Latkst in Sfohtino Circles.—Our little
Jay-bird gives us interesting news regarding
the wherealHHit* and doings of oar “model
Governor.” It appears that he has been run
ning with Grant for about three weeks, at
tending races, theatres and other amusements,
and his winning ways have completely capti
vated the President. Ail other amusements
having become dull and insipid, Bullock in
troduced the favorite Southern game of “old
►ledge.” It so fascinated Grant that he for
sook all other amusements, and they have
now been playing night and day for ten days.
Bullock stakes Georgia bonds, and Grant puts
up ln> numerous presents. Jay-bird tells us
that at last accounts Bullock had won Grant’s
jf'R.000 house and two of his finest horses,
and was five to Grant's three on the Gaiena
farm.

rains fell on Wednesday and Thursday, but
cotton and corn are too far advanced for rain
to do either any good. At no time since the
war has there been such a demand for car
penters, mason* and laborers as at present in
Griffiu. The same paper says that the rail

on Wednesday, was attended by the largest
crowd of people that have visited that town
since the termination of the war. Forty-one
thousand dollars was subscribed for the con
dred and Aftr-three. We observe that there
wa* a constant increase in the number of
graduate* sCnt out from year to year up to
the do#e of the record, showing that the in
stitution was steadily gaining upon the con
fidence and affections of the people np to the
day when its career of usefulness was ar
rested by the late war. The average num
ber of alumni for the last ten years was
seventeen. In looking over the honored
list from the beginning to the dose, we see
many names that have rendered invaluable
services to the State. Among them we recog
nize useful ministers of the gospel, distir-
gabbed professors in colleges and teachers,
physicians, lawyers, legislators, and agricul
turists, constituting an array of talents and
usefulness that reflects great honor upon their
akna mater. That great and good man, Dr.
Talmage, and his honored and distinguished
co-laborers, did a great work the first twen
ty-five years—a work of which their friends
have no reason to be ashamed. Yale and
Harvard and Princeton rose from much
feebler beginnings and started off in their
progress to renown with a muck weaker
and a more unsteady step.
For gocxl and sufficient reasons. It was de
termined to change the location of the insti
tution, and, during the past year, it was re
moved to this city. Ten years of suspen
sion, a change of location to a new site and a
new community, and the ruined condition of
our people, financially, were not circum-
I stances to give promise of an auspicious
re-opening. Nevertheless, a year’s work
was accomplished—a year’s work, we may
add, calculated to awaken high hopes for
the future. Seventy pupils have been en
rolled in the different academic depart
ments, and the collegiate year closed in July
with the Preshman, Sophomore and Junior
exhibitions, which, we say iu all candor, we
have never seen surpassed in any of the
older institutions of the country. The differ
ent members of the faculty came to us with
an established reputation, and have labored
for a year with zeal, energy and untiring dc
votion, and with results which have fully
justified the Board of Trustees in their selec
tion. We have conversed with intelligent
young men, said to be among the foremost
in their respective classes, who came here and
entered, from old and well established insti
tutions, and their testimony is that the Pro
fessors of Oglethorpe bear well the test of
comparison with those Professors, the bene
fits of whose instructions they had previous
ly enjoyed elsewhere.

miles out on the Watson road, where they
were entertained in tbc well-known hospita-

sketched the old Dent homestead, as a place
of general and historical interest, after which
an insj>ection of the President’* stables and

From the Marietta Journal,
It may be that the National Democracy
will so act; will refuse to attempt to restore
a desecrated Constitution; will accept, as
Jlnotify, the precedent, that the party in - ~
er may legislate at its discretion regardli
Constitutional limitation*. If thi* should
prove it* line of policy, then, indeed, there
will be nothing left to divide us but
a name and former political associations
which event'men may freely indulge theii
personal predilections. No longer restrained
by political principle they will be left free to
choose "under which King” they will risk
their fortunes; for our heritage of liberty will
have been resolved to this—whether yoa will
have, Cesar or Pompci to rule over you.
Suppose, however, that tbe Constitution is
not ignored; that Radical usurpation ore
denounced, and the hope is not destroyed,
that the injuries inflicted upon our political
system will be redressed ; then there will be
a people who are not Radicals—a people who
will struggle os long os freedom has a voice
in our unhappy country to defeat the revolu
tionary aims Radicalism seeks to accomplish.

af Georgia, assembled ia the hall* of the
eafffff'l bsihliag, have, aa ta days of jore,
beat permitted |o consider a grave question
involving their material later eat* under the
inspiration of liuA stalled spirit of patriot
ism sad true philosophy which marked an
epoch antedating die present period of polit
ical chicanery aad partisan knavery.
It ia to soar reporter, therefore, a matter
of congratulation that with many hun
dreds he was of the audience that filled the
old eenate Chamber to overflowing on Tues
day, the 23d. The assembly had been gath
ered from the surrounding country, under a
call signed by prominent citixens of Mil-
ledgevflie, to consider tbe question which pro
voked such »n animated discussion at the
recent Rome Convention, viz; What disposi
tion shall be made of the poblic land* grant
ed to the Btate of Georgia by Congress for
educational purposes?
At the appointed boor, the meeting was
called to order by bis Honor Mayor Cate,
who requested that CoL Jno. 8. Thomas, an
old soldier of the war of 1812 and t highly
respected citizen ofBaldwin county, should
preside, and that Besj. Barrow, Esq, should
•ctzs secretory.
Tbe meeting being organized, Col. William
McKinly, in a few remarks, stated the great
object had in view by the meeting, and the
necessity for the discussion of Ihe question
pom iu merits. He referred to the sutus of
the question before the Georgia Bute Agri
cultural Society, a great body of representa
tion in Georgia, who come nearer reflecting
the sentiment of the virtuous and the repre
sentative population of the Bute than any
organization that hod existed in Georgia since
the close of the Ute war. The recent Rome
convention hod adjourned to meet at Macon
in October, in order ttiat a committee ap
pointed to memorialize the Legislature
should be instructed. And in advance of
this meeting, and of the assembly of
the Legislature, it had been thought
advisable to discos* the question fully and
freely. To this end the meeting had been
called, and Colonel Caper*, a gentleman well
known for his many virtues, had fc been invi
ted to address them. At the close of hb re
mark*, Mayor Case introduced Colonel Ca
pers to tlie audience. We hud never heard
the gallant Colonel, and were, therefore, only
in expectation, considerably heightened by
the reports of other* who have hod this
pleasure. It is seldom that a public speaker
under such circumstances comes up to your
expectation, but in this instance we were by
no means disappointed, and with many
others, could but congratulate the orator at
the close of his able, eloquent and convinc
ing address.
The jqieaker iuivihg no notes or manu
script, we have no guide beyond our impres
sions in reflecting the poiuts so well made l»y
him. We attempt this only that the ques
tion may be fairly laid before your readers
throughout the btate. Alter a beau
tiful allusion to the circumslouces
and surrouudiug*, which invested him
in the oid chamber where for years the
wisdom, the eloquence and the virtues
of our great tutu guided the ship of state
through evtry vitissitnde of fortune, lie said
that he would Invoke tbe spirit of these
fathers, and in-lfcts consecrntod hall*, awakeu-
iug so many memories cherished by tlx? pa
triot, and yet fresh in our recollections, he
would seek to place tbe discussion of thi-
question far above and beyond the petty ri
valry of localities, the narrow-minded jeal
ousies of established institutions, and tiring
it home to the reason of our people, who, he
yet believed, could ascend above the plane
of the peddling politician In the oonhidera-
tion of a matter of so much importance.
In order that the andience might fully un
derstand the natare of the grant to the Btate
from Congress, tbe speaker read from the act
of 1862 the provisions making the same.
He said this was no patronizing favor be
stowed upon the people of Georgia, and to
be received by them at the hands of public
plunderers as on evidence of gracious conde
scension, but it wo* a part of our rightful
heritage—a heritage w^ich ante-dated thr un
explained, the undefined, the undefinable loy-
loyalty of modern Republicanism; a heritage,
the title to which we traced through our revo
lutionary fathers, who had purchased it for us
at the sacrifice of every personal considera
tion in their conflicts with the Britons. Lei
no argument or sophistry of the demagogue
then prompt us to misappropriate this heri-
?n considering the proper appropriation of
these public lands, the speaker again referred
to the act of Congress, reading the conditions
of the appropriation. The first condition re
quires that, if by “any action or contingen
cy,” the funds arising from the sale of these
public lands be lost or misapplied, the same
shall be replaced by the State to which the
same had been granted.

The result to accrue from the establishment
of this institution under proper guards, were
foreshadowed in a peroration, which it would
be folly for me lo attempt to repo: t. In this
the speaker made reference to the “red bill*

Gen. Jackson’s beautiful poem, and paying
the author a well-merited compliment
1 have thus attempted to give you a synop
sis of this fine address or, more properly
speaking, this excellent speech of the gifted
orator. It is but a synopsis, however, and
falls far below the merit, either of the occa
sion, the subject or the orator.
Among the incidents of the occasion was
the presence of a large number of negToes,
who tilled the front gallery of the chamber.
Colonel Capers, when upon the features of
the proposed institution referred to them, to
their past and present relationship, stating
that ut the same time Congress did not pro
scribe them from the benefit* of the institute,
their own good sense, which was now every
where getting the mastery of their passions,
influenced by designing politicians and ad
venturers from abroad, would show to them
that in these l>enefits there never would be—
there never could be—any possible affiliation
or association upon terms of equality, the
one with the other, to which Senator Wal
lace said omen.
At the conclusion of the address of Col.
Capers, short speeches were mode by Col.
Williamson aud Mr. Furman—these bearing
more directly on Milledgeville as a central
location, furnishing all the necessary build
ings, rapacious and convenient, with the
necessary concomitants of an institution as
indicated by the act of Congress.
Major Carrington then moved that the
thanks of this meeting of the citizens of
Baldwin and surrounding counties be ten
dered to Col. Capers for his able, and elo
quent address. The vote was taken rising
amid applause.
Col. McKinley tlnn presented a series of
resolutions, which embodied a plan for the
organization and conduct of the Polytechnic
School of Georgia. The resolutions being
lengthy and not just at hand, I omit them.
They ask that the Legislature locate the Ag
ricultural, Mechanical, and Military Institute
at some central point, and suggest Milledge
ville, calling attention to the building, cli
mate, health of the place, and other local ad
vantages. They request that the conduct
and charge of the iustitutiou be left in the
hands of tbe Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety, who sha 1 have the p >wer of appoint
ing the Board of Trustees, of which the Gov
ernor shall be ex-officio the President. A
committee of citizens of Georgia are provi
ded who are entrusted with the duty of pre
senting this matter to the convention at
Macon in October and to the Legislature.
The resolutions being adopted, Captain
White made a practical speech to his fellow-
citizens. He said that never before had he
seen such an enthusiastic demonstration from
the people of this section of the State, lie
did not want (this meeting to adjourn with
out adopting some practical measure to place
on foot the necessary movement to secure
the benefits of this institution. Money and
work were both necessary, if we would reap
the fruits to come from this great meeting
and the speech we hail had. He moved tha'
the Chairman appoint a committee of seven
from among the best citizens of -Baldwin
county, who should be known as a Finance
and Executive Committee, whose duty it
should be to raise the rnouey and digest the
best plan? to secure these results. The mo
tion was adopted, and so ended one of the
most, if not the most enthusiastic aud de
monstrative meeting I have ever known
held in Milledgeville, the good results of
which, we hope to enjoy in common with
our fellow-citizens. W.

tbe State by tbe “action and contingencies'
of those wbo had been intrusted with tbe
public property. The law did not permit tbe
proceeds of tbe sale of these lands to be ap
plied to any purpose other than as an en
dowment fund of an institution of learning,
in which such branches of education shall
be taught as relate to agriculture and
tbe mechanic arts, including military tactics,
and the practical education of the industrial
classes in tbe several industrial pursuits and
professions of life. Congress was in this
matter acting upon the suggestion of the
great Napoleon, and designed that a Poly-
techinc school should be established and car
ried out in its distinct features. Take care
that the personal interests of the politician
or the rivalry of Institutions which have now
no such feature in their organization, may
not prove a “contingency” some day in esti
mating a lose which the tax-payers may have
to make good. Do not divide this small
fond. At best it will be but a poor endow
ment Keep It as a unit of strength in de
veloping thi* great enterprise. If you com
mence dividing it with the several institutions
now established, you will loose all of Ms ben
efits. The Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian,
Episcopal, Catholic, and all other sectarian
establish oients had aa much claim for a por
tion of the fond a* the Mountain boys of
Northeast Georgia or their equally deserving
brothers of the southern uistrictof the State.
Let us in a wiatoMdUrae spirit of philan

near the geographical centre of tbc State as
possible, where the boys of all sections may
gather, and betutored near the heart of their

tions, freed from sectional or sectarian preju
dices, the inspiration of true patriotism.
Col. Caper* said that he was not here to
stump-speak it in the interest of Mil-
leJgeville or any other locality in the State.
He would discuss the question just as such
question should be discussed by Georgians,
who appreciate more tbe interest of the whole
State than the caprice of an individual or
the wanU of a locality, or the demand of an
institution. He regretted that the matter had
been brought before the people of Georgia in
tbc Rome Convention in the manner that it
had been. The “conduct of tbe case" might
be excused for special pleading before a jury
setting in judgment on individual interests,
bat it was an unworthy explanation to come
from any source where puDlic interests were
involved.

On tke *ca*81i*re,
It was a bright and sunny day. The sweet
sunshiuo has flooded the whole landscape,
and filled tbe earth with beauty.
I have wandered out upon the sea-shore
this lovelv day to enjoy the sea-breeze, to be
aldne with Nature.
I have always loved to wander off by my
self, to gaze upon the many beauties which
a kind God has scattered all around us. And
I love to feel in my heart, ‘‘my Father has
made them all.”
Bitting here on the summit of this high
rock, in no fear of the flowing tide, my eye*
rest on a scene most beautiful and sublime.
And yet I cannot half describe the varied
laudscapc laying so peacefully and glowing
•o brightly in the sun’s golden rays.
In the background, high bills bathed in the
soft rosy light dotted with white cottages
and evergreen trees stretch far away, until
they seem lost in the blue heaven*. At their
foot nestle* the beautiful “City of Glens.”
The noble old trees, their foliage swaying
gracefully in the soft sea breeze; the' tail
spire* glistening in the sunbeam* :-nd point
ing upward to a fairer clime—these all lend
their charms to fill out the picture with a
quiet aud lovely beauty. But close beside
me is the sea—the wide, far rolling sea—its
smooth surface, clear and calm, dotted with
snowy white sails, “ the star spangled ban
ner” flouting in triumph from each ship.
The voice of sailor-boys come* merrily to
us across the waves, and we can catch the
words as they sing—only aa sailors can sing
—the songs of the sea.
And near the shore the white-crested
waves comes dashing upon tbe sand, with a
low sighing wail, like the mourn of a break
ing heart. The tiny wavelet* rock to and
tro, softly singing as methinks the angel
band do sing in that happy land, where flows
ever the ciystal river of life. And as they
murmur so softly to me I fancy I hear the
rustle of white wings as they hover o’er me.
Oh, angel guid.s, tK-ar me away on your
snowy wing* to that sweet shrine where sin
and sorrow never come. And tan yon tell
me, swoct ones, if in that land, loved ones
await my coming through the pearly gates
and upward to the presence of the Eternal ?
Whisper to my sad heart of a blessed re
union on the other shore. And I sit and wait
for my answer as the gentle breeze ruffles
the billows as they roll inward to the shore.
Oh, how they sparkle and glow’ in the bright
sunlight! The last rays of the sun, a* he
•lowly sinks to repose beneath tbe western
wave*, leave* behind him a path of golden
splendor, and as it' reflects back upon the
waves, it seems to me like a shining stairway
set with pearls and rubies, and on which
angels return to their homes when their pure
eyes are dim with scenes of mortal woe.
The *tars come out one by one in the blue
canopy above, imd toevery moon move*
on in siletR cistlng a soft light o'er
land and* sea. The swelling tide come* dash-
.ing onward, tossing the white foam aud
f listening spray almost to the rock on which
sit; and over my mind comes a sad and
lonely feeling as sweet memory whispers of
the tender long ago, and these lovely lines of
Teunyson give in words what my mind can
not:
Break, break, break,
Un toy c«'lu gray stnuea, oh lea!
And I would that my tongue coaid utter
Tue thou^nt- that arise in me.
Break, break, break.
At the foot of the crag*, oh sea!
Bu the tender grace* of & day that U dead,
Wm never come back to ma.
Oh, yes, the sea will still roll on, as for
ages she ha* done. The waves will still whis
per of sorrow and grief to some, and to other
hearts the wavelet will sing of lore, sweet
lore, a* they murmur at “thy ways, oh! sea.”
On the sea of life we are sailing our tiny
barks with sails all unfurled and waving in
the breeze—storms and galea, and hidden
rocks for some of us, which would dash us
helpless on the shore of eternity were it not
for the Heavenly Captain, who stands al
ways at the helm. A clear sky, sweet music
and loving hearts attend some of the little
boika that glide on smoothly and swiftly o’er
ihe wave*.

Mr. Josiah Newnan, an officer in the Young

with him wasn’t his wife. At least we sup
pose he didn’t find ii out any sooner, or he
surely would have carried her back.

A Berlin correspondent of the New York
Nation relates the following as having come
under his own observation:
“On the entry of one of the Mentz regi
meats, (the eighty-seventh, which Was re
cruited in Nassau,) I witnessed a little inci
dent which is worth being narrated here.
The regiment w as on its way to the Schios-
platz, when a stout, resolute peasant w oman
broke through the ranks, put away the officer
at the head of his squad, and embraced her
husband, loudly crying, ‘He has belonged to
you long enough, now he is mine once more,
andyou will never get hold of him again !”
When the other women standing along
the street, and eagerly watching for their
turn, noticed this unceremonious procedure,
there was no longer any restraint; they all
broke into tbe lines, and each one seized her
son, husband or sweetheart. The Captain
could not defend himself against this inva
sion, and good naturedly suffered to pass
what he could not atop, and led his men and
women to the Bchlosplatz, where, amid the
cheering of the people, the women assisted
the soldiers in unstrapping their knapsacks,
or held their needl*-guns, while in the other
hand each carried a bundle of modest cit
izen's clothes, and afterward all ate and drank
merrily together.”

he could hop lo it, and knew his breakfast

“.-i.-iy thing is lietter than this,” murmured
a blackbird, perched on a leafless branch,
with his feathers puffed out to double their

out and shoot us with his gun ? That short,

lingering misery.”
“Poor, dear creatures,” cried tbe black cat,

issue is simply a contest lietween the friends

platforms are adopted by either party. The
day of po iti<-al platforms is pasrad. Resolu
tions of political conventions are no longer

tical parties, hut aa cunning devices to deceive
and betray the people. Since the Radical par
ty at its last national convention aolenmlv
declared that the suffrage question was one
belonging to the States aleme, and immediate
ly after enacted laws taking the control of
the matter from the Statea-and giving it to
Congress, no one will put faith in Presiden

In Greenville, Alabama, a “professor"

according to Murray's system. During one
of the lectures, the sentence, "Mary milks

word had been parsed save one, which fell to
Bob L , a sixteen year old, near tbe foot
of the class, who commenced thus: “Cow Is
a noon, feminine gender, singular number
third person, and stands for Mary.” “Stands
for Mary 1” said the excited professor
“How do yon make that out ?" “Because"’
answered the noble popil, “if the cow didn't
stand for Mary, how could Mary milk her?"
