We appeal to eath citizen of Athene and Clarke county io invest every surplus dollar for the completion of this great en terprise, of such vital importance to all our people and Northeast Georgia. The Northeasteni Railroad Company leant to raise 8130,000 by loan, on notes at 12 and 18 months, which sum will complete the road, or insure its completion beyond jicradcenturc. Seven of the Directors are pledged to ad vance in the aggregate 865,000; one gen tleman, who is neither a Director or Stock holder, 85,000, and others, who are Stock holders, smaller amounts. Other citizens of Athens, equally inter ested in the prosperity of the city, will surely contribute, as the loan would be as well se cured us any investment that could be made. For further information, please consult John Calvin Johnson, Ferdinand Piiix- izv, or U. L. Moss. modistes of Timbnctoo and Borneo have hitherto encouraged tbair present light and airy costjtane. If Mr. Augustus Watson vronl little mercantile oaperiment, by offerjpg twenty millions a limited 1 neof cheap knee- breeches and hoop-skirts, for fall and win ter wear, and if the venture should succeed, he would find much less difficulty in placing the stock of the Great Central African Railroad than, wc fear, he will now en counter. Mr. Augustus Watson has onr best wishes, and when the G. C. A. R. R. is completed, we hope he will not forget to send us the usual complimentary pass. OKEFEHOKEE SUBTLY. Little to Or.

The idea seems prevalent that, because several prominent members of the House of Representatives arc mentioned in con nection with the Speakership, there will be a scrub race for that important office. This is a mistake. As soon as Congress meets there will be a caucus of the Demo cratic members of the House, in which the candidate will be elected, who will, ot course, receive the entire vote of the party. Among tho most prominent aspirants is M. C. Kerb, of Indiana, an old member of tlie body, of marked ability, proved integ rity, and thorough knowledge of the rules and usages of Copgress. He is an avowed hard money man. Samuel Randall, of Pennsylvania, is also in the front rank. He, also, is a man of ability, experience and popularity. He is rather weak on the cur rency question, being too much of a hard money man to please the inflationists, and UNIVERSITY NOTES. As a courtesy to the friends of Educa tion throughout the South, we commence in this issue of the Georgian the publica tion of a scries of brief Historical Sketches, comprising the entire Faculty of our Uni versity. The name of “Waddell” iias been so long and faithfully associated with our Alma Mater, that we deem it proper to commence our Pen Pictures with this family so remarkable as teachers and di* cip'iuarians. Rev. Moses Waddell, D. D., fourth President of the Uuive aity ofGcorgia, was elected to the Presidency in 1819. The College had been suspended during the years 1817,1818 and 1819, because of the inability of the Board to procure a Pres.- dent alter the death of Dr. Finley. Dr. Waddell having been induced to take charge, of the Institution, immediately raised it to the high rank it has maintain ed tor 65 vears. He held the office from 1819 till 1829. Prof. James P. Waddell, A. M., son of Dr. Moses Waddell, graduated at the University of Georgia in 1822, was elected immediately Tutor of Ancient Lan guages, and held the office two years. In 1836 be was elected Professor of Ancient Languages,and filled the chair for 20 years, resigning in 1856. lie was one of the most accomplished classical scholars in this country and a most successful and faithf 1 professor. He died in Athens in 1867. Prof. Wm, Henry Waddell, A. M., son of the above and randson of the Presi dent, present incumbent of the chair of the Latin Language in t* e University of Georgia, was born in South Carolina in 1834, graduated with first honor at Uni versity of Georgia in 1852, was elected Tutor of Ancient Languages in 1853, and has been a member of the Faculty ever since. In 1858 he was elected Adjunct Professor of Ancient Languages, and in 1%60 full Professor. In 1872, the chair havirg been divided, he was elected Professor of Latin; is the author of two Grammers, one of the Latin, the other of the Greek Language During the entire existence of the College, there has been no year in which some mem ber of Prof. Waddell’s family lias not had Okeeenokkk S\v Nov. 12, 1875. r l I send ;by express a m this plaice—Camp Have sectored cbig alligator, 11 feet long, for the Geological Survey; also, swamp muck and hammock soil."I am getting specimens cfwood-, ! cabl><gd' $ato>o t0.aq<L r red bay grow here.

In liis efforts to . official connection with the Institution, steer clear of Scylla and Charybdis, he has j suffered damage from both. S. S. Cox, of New York, formerly of Ohio, will find sup porters in the caucus. He is an old mem ber, an adroit parliamentarian, a ready de bater, and “a fellow of infinite jest.’’ It would be a mistake to make him Speaker, lie would not fill the Cha'r, and then, he would be a great loss npon the floor, where his inexhaustible wit and humor serve to relieve agreeably the dreary dead level of Congressional debate. Fernando Wood, of«Ncw York, is also an aspirant. He is a good speaker on set occasions, rather than a ready debater. His “ d. portment” is everything that could be desired, but, General Babcouk is said to wear a dia mond pin valued at $1,500, which shows that helping to “ run the crooked” has its reward. The old and yet unat swered questions “Who struck Billy Patterson?” and “Who killed Tecumseh ?” are now superseded iu public interest, by “Who is James Van Buren?” and “Who is ‘Dad-under-ihe- hay’?” , - ..

There has sprung up a large export demand for goods of late which has cleared the markets 6f brown goods, and will cause an itacrease in prices. The mills I represent are sold ahead of pro^ duction several weeks and are running to their fullest capacity, and in my judgment, wc need have no fears of an over pr duc tion of cotton goods. Very respectfully, . F. Cogin, Sup’t. Richmond Factor , Ga., Nov. 20, ’75. My Duae Sir : I cannot avoid replying to your very friendly communication of the 17th inst , and I do so with the greatest pleasure as I am a Southern man by biitli and by feeling. . , ' < I have no experience as you suppose in manufacturing in Europe. For the last twenty-five years of my life, I have devoted my mind and attention to the manufac turing if cotton and wool iu this State, and I have found manufacturing, when attended to with knowledge and prudence, to be as safe as any other regular pursuit. During this period, I have frequently had this matter of making yams for export to Europe discussed. I never have seen the day when I thought tor a moment, it would be done—nor Can it taow be made a business of profit. Always carry in your miiid that, as man ufacturers, we arc highly protected by the tariff upon fmprirtq and a domestic market for what we make. This domestic market is now over-stocked, and heiice the daily lowering of prices to make sales. Wc must either bum the surplus, as the Dutch did their coffee, or trv to export the same as we are now doing—in which, we are aided by the 15 per cent, premium on gold. I have no idea the first 'yard has been exported at a profit; it Is phly a make shift to enable the factories to work and obtain a living price in the protected mar ket. •ontentijmted.

Dr. Speer. 1 In lone of the- handsomest residences of Atlanta some two hundred guests were assem bled, mostly old friends of the family, form ing one of the most elegant companies ever gathered in < or city. When Athens and LaGnnge combine, it is our opinion that the acme of refinement and elegance is reach ed. The beautiful bride, in her rich attire, was the centre of universal attraction and theadmiratiou of all. The proud aud hap py bridegroom, an elegant gentleman and an ■ accomplished physician, was accorded the greatest praise that could be bestowed, as being the worthy (ecijgent and guardian of so great a treasure. “ The supper was a most magnificent and re cherche one; every delicacy, setoff in the most costly style, the richest viands amidst the glitter of lavish wealth.

W/E, THE GRAND JURY SELECT- Y Y ed, chosen sod sworn for the August Term of Clarke Superior Court, end serving at this adjourned term of said Court, ask leave to make 'the following general presentment*: We have so receutly, and, as wo trust, so thoroughly examined into and reported upon the affairs conn.cte'd with each and eviry county office, that we have no ad ditional report to make; except that the Tux Collector has come before our body at this session, and explained to our entire satisfaction his insolvent list, which wc had in August presented as incomprehensible; and we are gratified to be able to report the amount of insolvent eounty tux for this year, after deducting collections made since August Court, at le-a than $400. The public roads are in good ouuditiou, witn the exception of that portion between the Uuiversity High School and Mr. W. W. Lumpkin’s gate, and u portion ortliat between Anderson Smith’s and the lane leading to Mr. Jerry Gray’s, both in the corporate limits oftbeCity of Athena; and the. new rock filling at eacu end of the lower bridge ov.rthe Oconee river, also within the city limits. Tne first two need immediate attention, or wUl become im passible us soon us tne winter rains and freezes set iu: the latter needs to be beaten down, and the cracks and crevices filled with rock chip to prevent the breaking of veuicles which are c utinually passing to and from Uie Georgia Railroad Depot, on this the main tiioroughfaro of the city and of the county. We therefore recommend that, in the event the cii\ uut iionties do not take steps to certain distrust which will diminish his chances. He is immensely rich, enterta'ns gorgeously, and would give Speaker’s din ners long to he remembered ; but his en trees and wine, however exquisite, will not be enough to elect him Speaker. Ex-Gov ernor Gilhert C. Walker, of Virginia, is mentioned—barely mentioned. He is good looking, behaved so much better as carpet bag Governor of Virginia than all the others of that class that he obtained the favor and confidence of respectable people, and pos sesses a certain amount ot ability; but he is not a Democrat. He is a “ Conservative Republican,” and therefore, when the Democratic majority is so overwhelming, it is not at all probable that the Democrats will l>e passed over to select Mr. Walker. If for policy sake a Conservative Repub lican were to he chosen, N. P. Banks, of Massachusetts, would have a much better chance, because he is more able, far mere experienced, and much more popular. When Mr. Banks was Speaker, (1856-8) although political extiterfient ran very high, he was owmmendcd foT his impartiality, fairness and able discharge of his duties, by both political parties. According to present appearances, the race is between Messrs. Kerb and Ran dall, but it may very well be that some “ dark horse” will win. 75 lbs. of this is waste. 500 lbs. at 5c., for manufketuring 25.00 Whole cost, 94.00 500 lbs.
