Dear Sir:. Having been cut off from
nearly all communication with the outer
world, since the raid of Sherman’s army in
the seaboard counties of the State, I deter
mined to spend ihe summer mouths in the
city of Athens. It gave mo- much pleasure
to be transported in two or three days to the
delightful climate aud polished society of
this; city to hear once more the plcasaut tones
of the church-going bell and join in the wor
ship of the Supreme Ruler of the universe.
It may be pleasant for your readers and
yourself to be informed of the status and fu
ture prospects of the University of Georgia,
located here. Since thef last time I had the
pleasure of being here the trustees * have
8 ‘* erected a fine, commodfous'Trailding, the in
ternal arrangement of which is very imposing,
and calculated to impress aud command the
attention of the visitor. The first point of
interest is the tasteful and elegant arrange
ment of the room appropriated to the library.
The books are arranged in alcoves ; each re
cess being lit up by a window, and forming
pleasant retreats for visitors who may wish
to consult or read books. The room is carpe
ted, furnished with lounges, chairs and tables
and is open to the public. Strangers and those

Editor Savannah News and Herald :
Dear Sir:—Having recently made a trip
through portions of this county, and also of
Leon county, Florida,, 1 comply with your
request. The corn crops through this section
are remarkably poor, with but few exceptions.
In my opinion there will not be more than
half as much made as there was in i860, and
of years prior. The cotton crops are gener
ally sorry and grassy, although some of the
farmers are getting pretty well clear of Gen.
Green. Owing to the bad stands and sprout

than one third of a crop made. A good many

beautiful manner in which this room has been
gotten up, I am informed is due to the refined
taste of the Chancellor; aud here 1 would
say the trustees displayed much wisdom in
placing at the head of the University a gen
tleman possessing so many excellencies of
character adapted to the position. He is em
phatically a working man, and his time and
talents are entirely devoted to the building
up of the institution.
The various recitation halls in this new
buildiDg have been fitted up in a style which, j
sofarasiuy information extends, is not found |
elsewhere on the continent. The peculiarity is, i
that the walls and ceilings of the rooms have
cleaned look quite puny, notwithstanding you
see some very fine.
A great many hogs have died along the
Florida line from cholera, and I fear provi
sions will be very scarce another year. An
other crop seems to be quite small, and as it
is not too late yet I would advise the farmers
to use every diligence in planting as many
potatoe vines as possible.
Very respectfully, Panlay.

honor was divided between S. Lumpkin. C.

at the unity of our country; it will paralyze

Ti» Crop. In Camden County—Further
Particulars of the Murder of Dr.
Kalon.
Jkffebsontos, Camden Co., Ga.,)
June 27, 1866. >
Editors News and Herald :
In reply to your request for information in
regard to the growing crop, I will say
that mis county, before the late war, pro
duced about one thousand bags sea island
cotton, and about two hundred thousand
bushels rice annually. This year, one hun
dred bags of cotton and thirty or lorty thou
sand buahelsof rice will be about the quantity
produced. This will vive you some idea of
the state of things here. Some of the freed
men are working tolerably well, while others
are doing but little. We Hie suffering very
much for the want of rain at this time
without their hosts. The loldiem have
sacrificed too much and left too maDy com
rades in the savannas of the South to keep
Ibis country together, to voluntarily vote to
keep it separate and sectionaiized. What
has radicalism done to win thc affection or
confidence of onr brave armies ? It urged
them to the field with plaudits and huzzas,
aud promised them unlimited reward and re
cognition when they came home. But when
they came back, with the “light of battle”
and of victory on their faces, bringing with
them a rescued nation and au unstained flag,
did any radical parasite who had been fat
tening on the Treasury during the toils of
war make way for the returned heroes? Not
one. And when the President announced
his determination to vacate the vast civil list
in order to place in office aud position the
deserving veterans, a howl of indigna
tion went up from the radical camps;
the brave men who had the confidence
of the Administration were dabbed “the
bread and butter brigade;” and the name of
no soldier, however gallant, however long
his service, however great his merits, has
been scat into the Senate without a fierce
war made upon it by radical leaders; and
when confirmed it has been done with reluct
ance and regret, while many have been
Shamelully and heartlessly rejected. The
soldiers of America know too wellthe differ
ence between radical friendship before and
after the war to follow their treacherous lead

if they fail to do so,
the Legislature may declare their charters
forfeited, or they might be deprived of their
charters possibly by a proceeding against it
at law by the Commonwealth on a writ of
quo warranto. Every stockholder, then, is in
terested in compelling the company to act
within its chartered limits in the exercise of
its powers
Has the company transcended the limits of
its chartered powers by the contract with the
Adams Express Company? To tbeir privi
leges as ^common carriers there are corres
ponding obligations. They have the privi
lege of carrying pa99engers and freight; bat
they must cany- them ou terms of perfect
equality in the order in which they are pre
sented, and at the same rate of fare er freight.
Do they do this? Thc question is answered
by the contract.
- But it is said in the answer that this con
tract only applies to express Creigbts, aod
that those are light articles. The law makes
do such distinction, but expressly includes
all express matter and freights, and if the
Company has a right to make the contract os
to tbeir express trains, it is not seen why the
company could not extend the same con
tracts to their freight trains, and to exculde
from its .privilege* all bnt men who would
advance $50,000, as the adams Express have
done under the contract in this case.
There is another reason why the contract
is illegal. It requires the Adams Express
Company and all other persons who may do
an express business, to pay the highest price
allowed by law for the transportation of
freight, and also to make an advance of *50,-
000, to be accounted fur in the settlement for
freight and express matter transported dur
ing the year, but without interest for the
time dur ing which this sum of money may be
in the hands of the company. This is illegal,
because it is exacting more than the law
allows for transportation; it is exacting the
maximum price tot transportation and also
the use or loan of a large amount of money
without paying interest therefor. It is
also a contract to refuse to transport
express matter for freight for any com
pany or person, unless such company or per
son will advance *50,000 as a loan to the
railroad company without, interest, or a pre
payment of freight to that amount when the
company may not do busiints to thst Amount
during the year. It is virtually placing the
express business at the control ot persons or
companies who mpy be able to advance or
loan *50,000 to the railroad company. There
fore the railroad nompany had transcended
the powers couldtred upon it by the law, and
ought to be required to observe the rules pre •
scribed by the Legislature.
The counsel for the defendant then made a
motion to suspend the judgment, which, after
some discussion, was o»cJiuleq.
