The obnoxious amendments, ill si ems to us, c«»n»bine within themselves the gerui of everything that is odious in Radical is n. Are we to “set about restoring tue country” upon the Radical platform? There in an old saw that the devil must be fought with fire, and many people have tried that plan. but, up to the present time, we have never heard of his being whipped to any great extent. Fighting Radicalism with Rad* * •' *!* will be just as futile.—Sat.innah JVWs. 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 t n .r Jc party in 1ST”. While Til* Const!] 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? the News proposing to establish a tAird party ? If the News will publish our article entire, from which it clips the above, its readers will have no trouble in seeing our “drift.” The fact is, we cannot comprehend how any thing chn be more explicit.

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 IVnnvracy, and seemingly determined to 4'ire their *nen tray, utterly regardless of con- set|ucuccs to the campaign of 1871 If the News, instead of printing tthole imue* upon the New Departure, will turn its volleys upon Hadtcaltim, we assure it in the name of the people that it will far more subserve llieir interests and the interests of the Democratic I»arty. 1 he people are getting tired and sick of this fatal wrangling. From the Ortfls Sr*r 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. From the flaraanah News.

At no time since the war has there been such a demand for car penters, mason* and laborers as at present in Griffiu.

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.

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.

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. In construing this statute. Colonel Cipcrs referred to the losses already sustained bv tax upon the people already overburdened- 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* of Georgia,” showing hi* appreciation of 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.

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.

Let them gather from associa 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.

Here would 1 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*. Bat we shall land at laat on the everg^en shore, W here parttn** and trials are forever tar We clip the following item* from the Courier-Journal: Mr. Josiah Newnan, an officer in the Young Men’s Christian Association at Newton, L.

The most curious part of the story is that he got six or eight hundred mile* from home before be found out that the woman he had taken 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. When Elizabeth Cady D.

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.
