Well; to begin. I left home in a hurried manner on the 25th ultimo, for Atlanta. Spent Saturday at an oldi fashioned, ante bellurn barbe cue on the Georgia Pacific railroad at; a prospective town in the woods called Peyton; a town without bouses; a town simply in the forest one mile from the Chattahoochee river, and which is destined at no 1 distant day to become a portion of , Atlanta, being already within four (Biles- of the city limits. We re turned in tho afternoon to the city, , lint; too late to take the train on the I State road, consequently had to re < main in Atlanta until the next day, I which was Sunday. I found the • city quite doll on that day of rest. E tnet several of my Greene county friends-on the street, amonc them the genial and clever Edward Ymnitg. of Greenesboro. Must of the forenoon was spent ait Oakland oemetery reading in ' script ion? upon tombstones aud viewing the artistic beauty of the great city of the dead. I admired , the inasolemn of Mr E. E. Ruwson and which is indeed a grand struc ’ turn of granite. Another, still more I imposing, is tliat of the late Gen* end .

Spent Ipe pight in Cttr tersville ; found tbgs to be a thri ving little city ol % 'out 3,000 in habitants. It is si -f ated in a lieau tifnl valley antluLtrrouoded by mountains. Bill’NS'ji, t!ie unique humorist, residcS|iSot far "distant bat as he was nfit in town, we missed the covett@lJ<pleasnre of an interview. Saw the Turks, id)ora he described in Ijrfs Constitution letter of tho 27th and who attrac ted a considerable crowd. Since my arrivaljn this secton, I have visited of Bar tow, Paulding, Floyd aud Cobb; all are og/icultural aud mineral conntiesJMbrtow surpass es the others but the abundance mPßmeral wealth, which we find iithTother counties named, can hardly be found else where. At Rockruart, in Polk county, at the junction of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor gia railroad, with the East & West railroad of Alabama. We visited the Slate Quarry, <tnd saw a per fect mountain of slate, sufficient to supply the demand for all time to come. We were formed that it had been work and for eighteen years, and yet t’-eie seems to be but a small indentation pecked in the side of the mountain. Justice court was in at Roekmart with a vast amou'-t of business, and we were s uLrised to find Judge , Joint-W )£s*#. daderwoq;!, member of the TTi Sfrartfi' com mission, engaged in this court. He was actually engaged in a rail road case ; an action for damages for the killing of a cow. We also attended a justice court at Euhar lee in Bartow cousty, at which there were eleven lawyers from Cartersville. Here I formed the acqnantanee of the Hou. A. IV. Eite, of Bartow, a member oj the preseut legislature and author of the Apportionment Bill. At this court the docket had over one hundred cases upon it. Besides minerals, Floyd and Polk counties can boast of a tine body of pine timber, and saw mills are no strange or new sights to the people here. One of the important of these is ovyncd D. W. Rogers (fc Cos. Two of the firm are broth ers of Mr. Henry P. Rogers of our county, and are energetic, enter prising business men. With a cap ital of about $30,000, they cut ab out 22,000 feet per day ; have usu ally about eight hundred thousand feet of lumber on hand. They have besides their saw mill a plaining, lathiug and shingle mill. Their business has become so extensive that they have built a railroad nine miles in length for the purpose of shipping lumber to the E. T. V. <fc G. R. R. aud the E. & W. Ala. road. They conduct also a gener al mercantile business and give employment to about one hundred persons. This place is named Et owah and church, school Ac. Another mill owned by Beaz ley and Sheffield, is of the most improved machinery and doing a splendid business. They cut from 15,000 to 20,000 feet per day aud have at this time 400,000 feet of superior lumber in their yard. Their market is Dayton Ohio, and they own about 1(5,000 acres of this fine pine land. On Sunday tho 10th, had the pleasure to listen to a most excel lent sermon by Rev. J. G. Ryals, from the text, “Looking unto Je sus.” and on yesterday heard the Independent Ex-member of Cou gres, Dr. IV. H. Felton, whose text was "Tile shields of the earth be long unto Gwd.’V*He impressed me as being an able, fluent and for cible reasoner, hut not an eloquent speaker. Crops are fine in North Georgia; small grain prettv'jgood, plenty of rain thus far.

EDUCATION. SOME NOTES FROM A MEMBER OF THE Legislature appointed to inveS TIQATE THE SUBJECT. The General Assembly of Geor gia, at its last session, appointed a committee from its body to visit the north and examine different schools of technology, and report at its next meeting, upon the advi sability of establishing such an in stitution in tbis state. That com mittee has performed its pleasant task, and in due time will report unanimously in favor of such a school. The Constitution ol last Tuesday, publishes an interview with Hon. F. P. Rice, Representa tive from Fulton And a member of tlie committee, who returns from the north quite enthused by what ha saw and heard. We have only space for the following extract from this inteVview : “What schools did you visit ?” “We visited the schools at Bos ton, Worcester and Hoboken, and Cooper institution, in New York.” “What is the general plan of ed ucation in these schools ?” “A young man is taken to the carpeuter’s bench and blacksmith's forge, and is taught carefully, one step at a time; his brain educa tion keeping pace with the educa tion of bis hands until he becomes a skilled and a scientific scholar in the fullest sense. Beyond the ground work of a general indus trial education there are specialties which each boy chooses for him self. For example he becomes a mineralogist, mechanical engineer, mining, engineer a chemist, super intendent of factories, iron works, bridge worker, ship building or any j industrial sphere that he desires j to fill.” “Is there a demand for the ser- i vices of such students ?” * A demand that is double the supply. Faster than these young men can graduate are there de-- mands for their services.” “Wlmt salaries do they receive ?” “•‘•'i.v tm ’s toa fiJi(iJun self by this practical education for practical work can count on re ceiving when he graduates from three to five thousand dollars a year, aud will fiud himself wanted in half a dozen different sections of the country. above this sahitv depends on his own tact and efficiency. Many of them are able to command their own terras iu the business tliat they organize aud superintend.” From the Macon Telegraph and Messenger. After transacting the prelimina ry business necessary in New York, the committee resolved to proceed at once to Boston, for the purpose of visiting the Masachusetts Insti tute of Teclioology, legated at that poiut. It had been reported to the members of the committee that this institution probably afforded a better field for the prosecution of the inquiries with which the com mittee was charged than any other in the North. The president is General Francis A. Walker, late head of the Census Bureau, a gentleman of great learn ing and culture, and strongly im pregnated with the idea that tech nical education is the destined sal vation of the country. He met us with the greatest imaginable affa bility, and carried us through ev ery department of the institution under his charge, explaining iu de tail and in a practical and business way all the requirements necessa ry to the establishment of such an institution. • The annual income of this college is about $60,000. There are fort} 7 professors. The students in atten dance at the last session amounted to 016. The investments in build ing and machinery aggregate about $370,000. The permanent endow- i ment found is $267,000. There is a foundry, machine shop, carpeu ter shop, assaying and mining de partment, forges, a school of de sign, and a spinning and weaving department, together with all the other aparatus found in first-class literary colleges. There are five purely professional courses, to-wit: 1. Civil and topographical engin eering. 2. Mechanical engineer ing. 3. Mining engineering, or mining and geology. 4 Building and architecture. 5. Chemistry. The training is both practical and theoretical. The students work in the shops until they learn bv actual trial and experiment the mode of shaping, lmndliug and constructing tools, machines and all other matters of like character. This institution does not seek to utilize the practical results of the student's labors. Everything is subordinate to the idea of instruc tion. The course requires four years to complete. Tho graduating stu- - ! dent is prepared to fill any posi tion in the great industrial depart ments of the country. He may .choose anyone of several profes sions. Owing to this fact these students are in great demand, and it lias been found difficult to retain any of them even to fill valuable j positions as teachers in the insti tution which gradutes them. —*-*_•— * THE TALLEST MAN. John Wesley said once, “Beware how you invite rich men into your churches until you are sure they are Christian. Beware how you manage your churches in such a way that rich men will become a necessity to yon. If your church buildings are so luxurious that yon need an enormous income,' wealthy 1 tneu will be necessary to you, and they will rule you, and then you (must soon bid farewell to Metho dist doctrine.” A wiser thing was !never said. A more unpopular | thing, perhaps, could hardly be re peated at this hour; but the truth is,—but I am not a pastdr or! preacher, and ns nobody can sup pose that I am making oblique personal references here, —I ven ture to say that even in republican i America there are a great many luxurious churches, especially in 1 the wealriiiest society of cities, who do not want poor men as members. When a revival occurs, the ques tion concerning many converts is not “Ate they soundly Christian?" but, “How much are they worth?.” j [Laughter] “What is their social standing?” “Am I willing to have one of these converts next me in a pew?” “Are they likely to add anything important to the financial or social strength of our society?” \ Under the voluntary system we must have money, we must draw rich men into the churches ; but, if they stand there on their money bags, aud ask to be measured, not according to the height of their Christian character, but according to the height of these pedestals of) worldliness—money, social posi- j tion, hereditary rank, connections | with pnblic affaire,—then, I say, the: time has come for ns to east abroad ; God’s truth ns scythes to mow down \ all these unnatural growths. On d’s ! est who is nearest to Goal—Rev. J. Cook. ON CALL. He was a Buffalo man. The school, teacher had been talking about finance 10 her scholars, and young John came home to ask : “Father, is there suen a thing as a call loan ?” “Yes, of course.” “Well, what is it?” “Why, old Swipes the doctor cotnes bustling in some afternoon —note to meet —needs just fifty more—hand it back next da}’ —and I’m fool-enough to lend it. That’s the loan part of it.” “Yes.” “I wait two weeks, need the monqy, and call at his office. He isn’t in. I call again, he is out. I call forty or fifty times, always miss him, call to him on the street and he doesn’t hear, call him an infer nal dead-beat and that ends it. There’s the call and there’s the loan, and here’s the idiot. That’s all!” —ln the following extraet the Augusta Chronicle takes a sensi ble view of the cottoo and vegeta ble questions; “We have no doubt that truck farming will, under fa vorable railway schedules, prove remunerative to men who know how to manage their affairs iu the best manner, just as cotton is a profitable crop to first-class plant ers who buy for cash, avoid mort gages and practice thrift. We would like to see the South feed herself and all but her hold on cotton culture is not to be released. This region is not to be turned into a universal cucum ber patch by flamboyant and ro mantic letters in the daily papers.” ■ - • —The South is, as the New York Times states, “known to-day to be almost incalculably fertile in the essential elements of material prog ress. Its agriculture may fairly be said to have but scratched the sur face of its soil; its manufactures ! are hardly more forward than those | of the sea-board Northern States at the opening of the century ; its wealth of opal end metals is prac tically immeasurable; its commerce has hardly burst its swaddliug clothes ; the newly awakened ener gy and ambition of its people are constantly directed, and for many years will be directed, to almost uninmgined fields." ' ♦ —Senator Thurman is reported as saviug that the only regret of his life was that he had gone into polities. He would have been a happier and a better man if he had obeyed his original impulse and stuck to farming. TEIC3IS -$2 ©0 per Annum, in Advance WHOLE NUMBER 526. DILL ARP SPEAKS. The misfortune 'of onr people is waste. Everything i§ used at the Dorth, and everything brings moa ey. It is not so bad in Tennessee as it is in Georgia, I saw a man sell one walnnt tree in Shelby coun ty for forty dollars, and he sold it as it stood in the woods, and it went up north and came back to us in furniture. I met Mr. Thomas Stovall last week, and be has been lin England and France and Ger many for six years, and he made me t feel good, talking about this region and this good old state. He said with enthusiasm: “I telf ; you, my dear sir, I have traveled a great deal s and seen many lands and many people, but this is .the best land I ever was in and we have the best people. In London" you live between palaces and beg gars, and there is poverty, rags aud filth and suffering everywhere but here. Our people are not riclf but they are comfortable, and ought to be contented and happy, and they would be if they didn’t look over the fence. That is all that is the matter. We look over the fence tco much aud if our nabors bavt got better thhigs than We have wo want ’em.” 1 Yes, that so—not obly so but tdso, as Cobe sav9, for we not only hanker after what other people have got but we would make theni ccme to a divide if we could. When it! man gets a little ahead his nabors I want to catch him by the coat tail and pull him back a peg or two. We have plenty of humanity for those who are worse oft' than we j are, that is, we are sorry for em and talk a good deal of sympathy, i but if a man gets rich and swells around, or has a fortune left him, nobody cares how soon he loses it. But human nature is mighty kind after all.. Human nature respects honesty and fair dealing and gen erosity, and loves virtue f6r its own' sake. Hainan nature honors wom an and loves children, and respects 1 old age, and sympathises with grief | and misfortune and most every otb |er calamity except when a rich man loses his money. So I know , I am iu no danger. My nabors will when I die, .and- tears and say “well his faults as we all have, but Bill was a good-hear ted man.” Thanks! Box Arf. ABOUT BATHING. Tho Royal Humane Society of Loudou has just published a list of cautions to bathers, which may well be referred to the attention of our readers, at this season when 1 bathing, either iu salt or fresh wa ter, will bo freely practiced. The rules are not new, but practical and I Valuable, as follows : Avoid bathing within two Lours after a meal. Avoid bathing when exhausted I by fatigue or from any other cause. Avoid bathing when the body is cooling after perspiration. Avoid bathing altogether in the open air if, having been a short time in the water, it causes a sense of chilliness with numbness qf the hands and feet. , Bathe when the body' is warm, provided no time is lost in getting in the water. Avoid chilling the body by sitting or standing undressed on the banks or in boats after having been in the water. Avoid remaining too long ip the ! water—leave the water immedi ately there is the slightest feeling of chilliness. The vigorous and strong may bathe early in the morning on an empty stomach. The young, and those who are weak, had better bathe two or three hours after a meal—the best time for such is from two to three hours after breakfast. Those who are subject to giddi uess or faintuess, aud those who* suffer from palpitation and other sense of discomfort at the heart should not bathe without first con sulting their medical adviser. ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN. Young men, if you are going to' be a farmer, be a good- one. Be the chief worker yourself. It is the first that wins esteem and re spect. Study, observe and listen, aud gather information pertaining to your business from every source, and yon can soon know as much as any one. Let no day pass without some increase of knowedge. What ever you cultivate, do it well. What ever stock you have, let it be good,; and take good care of it, and im prove it as fast as vour means will admit. Whatever fruit you have/ let it be choice, and stmly how to' improve it, how to market it so as to got the highest price. If you have a garden, let it be the first in the neighborhood.
