To the Lditur of the Dailt/ \etrs and Herald • 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 tarrying for a short lime in the city can find Official.

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 by the grass. I dont think there will be more' than one third of a crop made.

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.

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.

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.

Of COOTie unij iilJs. confine themselves within the limits of their 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.
