Worth dcnccthat the delegates elected on the 15th were the proper delegates, for the sake of harmony be acquiesced in the report 3Ii. McKibbin, of Butts, sympathized with the last delegates, yet lie aid not wish to establish a precedent by admitting bo:h delegates. The laU delegates were anti- Greeley, and so was he; yet lie could not je opardize Democratic harmony and unity by I admitting them. Major Simmons said in support of his reso lutions that he sympathised with the last I elected delegates, but the Convention must repudiate thb spirit of disorganization. The first delegates were elected by a convention called by the only authority authorized to speak for the Democracy of Fulton county. Garnett Hc3Ifllan supported the report of the committee, and proposed to amend byi pinking out the clause “that the united dele gation should cast the vote of the county,” and inserting “that on all questions where the Fulton couuty delegation had a controll-f Ing vote that the convention should then decide which delegation should c*st the vote.” {This was subsequently withdrawn. , Hon.

The earth bountiful' .y yielded her increase, the win do world stood ready to bid for it, aud the gains of the South ern country were proportionately large. These gains were invested in negroes, and by this accession of labor the productive capaci ty of the country was year by year increased. Labor produced capital, and capital increased labor, each augmenting in turn the other, and both combined heaping up an enormous ag gregation of wealth Since the war this has been changed. Labor still prodaces capital, but capital can no longer find an investment in labor. A new outlet for Southern surplus is necessary, and as each recurring season demonstrates more and more cleirly that the ancient prosperity of the South is re viving, the need of some such outlet becomes more apimrcnb Wlmt shall that outlet be? We answer that Southern capital must hcuce- fortli seek investment in Southern securities. Railroads arc needed, and the bonds of those ruad9 must be at once profitable and safe. Cotton manufacturing is extended itself, and factoiy shares must present desirable open ings. Municipalities., are growing, and on the credit of thriving towns and cities a well founded reliance may be placed. State after Slate is revertingTroin alien hand"' to the con trol of Us own people, and in such a change a guarantee of future honesty aud caution u|i|H.‘ars. Take the South over, and the op portunities of investment arc commensurate with the general demand. To be safe and to be profitable arc the prime requisites of an investment, aud Southern capital can find these reqnisitcs better at home than abroad. Take for instance the case of Some Northern railroad. What can any Southern stockholder know of the real condition of that road ? Its distance forbids any personal observation. lie knows nei ther the value of the property nor the relia* bility of its umuugers, save from hearsay, and is thus conqiellcd to rely exclusively upon others for the safety ana increase of Ins capital. From tlie necessity of the cose, the Southern holder of Northern securities is where tlie English owners of Erie were lately disclosed to be. His money is locked up by strangers who manage it at their own sweet will, aud resent us an impudent intru sion any effort oil his pari to know the con dition and prospects of his owu property. How different where the Southerner has his capital in Southern securities. The property is, ns it were, in the hollow of his owu hand. It lies at his very doors, and the slightest cir cumstance affecting its value is apparent to him at once, lie sees for himself, and is not obliged to rely implicitly on the observation of others. On the score of safety there is everything to recommend a Southern over a Northern security, and just in proportion ius an investment is sate just iu that proportion is it really profitable. But to facilitate the investment of South ern capital in Southern securities a market is necessary, and Augusta is beyond question the University. .

The upper court of Georgetown society was violently agitated yesterday by the at tempt of a father to shoot tlic alleged seducer of hia daughter. Thai the young lady was seduced by some one is pretty evident, for five months after her marriage she brought into existence a fully developed child. The husband thereupon returned her to her parents, and instituted a suit for divorce. The discarded wife finally gave hei die seducer’s name, and tlic result ' attempt to murder, yesterday. The alleged seducer is said to have been very officious in bringing about the marriage, which, after five mouths of happiness, terminated so ab ruptly, and as all the parties move in high circles the affair has created a marked sensa tion. VERY FUNNY. Some one took pains to telegraph from here tlie other day that a decided reaction hod lieen created by an editorial in the Patriot giving assurance of supporting Gicclcy in case he should be nominated at Baltimore.

In the days of the old Slate bunks Aug us: a money had the public confi dence from Virginia to Texas, and in (lie sale of the ante-bellum railroad bonds 31 i^sis- sippi, Tennessee and Alabama possessed a virtual monopoly. Siucc the war this dis tinguished financial character has not been lost. As shown by the tax returns there arc more than double the amount of securities held in Augusta than in any other city, in Georgia, and unless New Oilcans he au exception, aud this is doubtful, Augusta is the largest market for Southern securities in tlic Southern States. It is moreover the largest cotton manufac turing centre in the South, and possesses a railroad interest of the soundest and most promising impor'ancc. Further still, it is otic of the largest interior cotton markets iu the South, and since the establishment of tlie Exchange its facilities for the management of cotton, both for immediate and fu ture delivery, have greatly increased. With these attributes it is marked out as beyond all question the great financial market of the South, and in the Au gusta exchange appears the instrumentality for the accomplishment of its unnifest des tiny. Already, though tlie institution is but in its infancy, its operations have that solidi ty which peculiarly distinguishes Augusta, autl already an influx of cupilul seeking in vestment through its agency indicates at once how great is the need of such a market, aud how fully the Exchange is recognized as mcetiug that requirement.

The ^ mi them Fe male College is located in LaGrange, on a commanding eminence, entered by a beauti ful smooth yard shaded bv a luxuriant growth of trees. Professor J. F. Cox, the President, is a genial, affable gentleman, fills the position with much credit and dignity, and gives general satisfaction both to pupil and parent Under the supervision of such a President, and assisted by an able corps of professors, no institutitution is better adapted for the thorough education and culture of young ladies. Besides, the society of LnGrange is unsurpassed, which aids very materially the education nnd accomplishment of a young lady. Sunday, the 23d instant, the exercises of the college opened. Dr. Montgomery, of Tennessee, delivered tho commencement ser nion. He preached an able and in structive sermon, the beauty of which will not mar by attempting to give a synopsis. On ^Monday the exami nation of the Junior and Senior classes was tlio order of tho day, and I never witnessed greater proficiency in studies or greater achievements in learning. The first class was composed of some eight or ten beautiful and intelligent young ladies, who were ex amined in tho evidence of Christianity by Rev. H. L. Calaway, their able and efficient teacher, in that branch. The class evinced a thorough kn)wlcdge of the subject and a perfect readiness to answer any question pro pounded, cither by tho teacher or the audience. During the examination of this class an interesting discussion arose between tlie class and James Skin ner and 3Iontgomery, on the question as to what was the best evidence of Christianity, propounded by Dr. Skinner. The young ladies, I believe, won the victory, by giving it as their opinion that the miracles and the fulfillment of prophecies furnished the most conclusive and satisfacloiy evi dence. The next class introdaccd was in astrono my, taught by CoL Toole. The class soon showed to the audience their perfect acquain tance with that difficult but beautiful science. Professor Cox next examined his class in Virgil, who exhibited a wonderful familiarity with the aucient bard of Mantua. The examination was admirably conduct ed, and you could mark in every class and eveiy student that thorough and systematic training so characteristic of the able profes sors of this splendid institution. At night came off the Concert under the supervision of 3Iiss Sallie Cox, the accom plished daughter of tlie President Without attempting to personate any, I will say that all the young ladies sustained the reputation LaGrangc has so long enjoyed for its musical talent. The singing was sweet, the playing splendid, and it would have required only tlie nestling of wings to have made real our dream of fairy land I cannot re frain from mentioning one piece which was admirably rendered, and created considerable merriment The piece, entitled “Sm-an, Susan, pity my confusion, in which a splendid hit was given to those, timid young men, who would “die” if she would not marry “me.” ThC operetta of Genevieve, in which all the young ladies took part, was splendidly executed. None speak of the performances lu3t night but in the Ex-Governor Jcnkius. There are some writers urging the claims of cx-Govcmor Jenkins for Governor. That gentleman has written letters In which he disclaims any desire for the office, nnd thinks we cannot do better than retain Governor Smith. Since the above was written we find the following confirming our statement. Augusta, 17th June, 1872. Jas. P. nAimusoN, Esq., Editor Monroe Ad vertiser: Deaii Sin—During my recent abrence from the State, two very kind and flattering notices of me have appeared in your paper, which I have just seen. In the fiist yon propose me as the Democratic nominee for the office of Governor. In the second you notice a rumor that I do not desire that position, but am an aspirant to a seat on the Bench of the Supreme Court Believing that in party evo lutions the general opinion should be as much concentrated as possible in advance of nomi nations, so as to uvoid distracted counsels, 1 beg you will.ollow me, through the medium of your valuable paper, to withdraw my name, alssolutdy and unconditionally, from consideration, regarding both of those posi tions. Sincerely grateful to my fellow-citi zens for the bestowal of each in the past, I neither aspire to, nor can consent to accept either, in the future. From my experience in them I do n» t believe I have remaining sufficient strength to endure the menUil strain and the physical unrest incident to each. Allow me to add tlmt in my opinion the vacancies soon to occur—one in the Execu tive and the oilier iu the Supreme Judicial Department—would be well filled by the re-appointment of the present incumbents severally. Such, as a citizen of Georgia, is my earnest desire. I conclude by requesting that you will at once remove my name, from the head of your editorial column, aud oblige your friend, C. J. Jenkins.

And the harnesses, too—bright; massively golden, and gorgeous—are.strirtly in keeping with ihc'mnguiUccncc of the horses; so that so far as both of these arc concerned you are also reminded ot the equipages of the wealthy and aristocratic if your thoughts have ever turned in that direction. But still more conspicuous as they approach you are the driver and his companion. Jet isn’t a circumstance to the blackness of their faces; while their costumes are white corduroy and while fiauncl, trimmed with silver, wilh white top boots, as ncarlv as you can make out; and the contrast between their costumes and glossy hats and faces is as marked and disliuct us that of daylight and darkness. The taller holds the reins, but he is equal to the emergency, and, so far as the unprac ticed white eye can determine, there is not a ripple of any kind on his Nubian face. The shorter seems entirely for ornament, and sits wilh bis arms folded across his chest black and white monument to wealth and social greatness. The carriage is such as the fox-hunting peo ple of another country go to the “meet” with. •The part whereon sit the driver and his ally is considerably elevated above the rest, while tlie rear, which by the bold Briton is us d for the transportation of his bird .dogs, is here converted iuto a seat for the proprie tor of all this FLky splendor. Perhaps you like carriages painted yellow •*tis altogether a matter of taste—and if so, you wouiu like this one, for the sides and the under parts arc pale yellow, not a sickly, but a sort of an aristocratic poetical pale, while the rest of the vehicle is black. And that man there, wilh a round head surmounted by a white stove-pipe hat, with a face that don’t indicate anything in partic ular, and particularly don't indicate anything, you would lie likely to mistake for greatness, but seems to give show both of the larder and the cellar. “Why dial’s the President,” says the houret Jersey gardener. “No.” “Oh, yes; I know that team. ’Tis just the biggest fetch on tills shore, stranger.” “You don’t mean to tell inetimt this is the man 1 saw on a bay horse near the apple-tree in Virginia ?” “I don’t know nothing about no Virginia apple tree, but that’s Grant, the President of the United States, mid them bays and them niggers just lay over anything I ever sec.” Of course, the President may drive in just such vehicles as he admires. But there were tax-payers within hearing who whistled and said something about Uelmbold aud Fisk, hud I could not *hclp comparing this blnck-und-yellow dog-cart with an ambulance I had seen that afternoon sluuding In front of the Presidential stables —now uigloriously converted into a market wagon—aud such as I once saw this same man riding in over the bloody soil of Virginia. But the times have changed, and the man.
