Gueat Excitement.—On the reception of the news in this place, on Tuesday, of the great battle between the French and Prussians, the excitement was very high. The news was di-xmssed on the streets during the entire day, aud the anxious expressions of countenances could be cosily traced to sympathy with France which was expressed in regret for the de feat of Napoleon. The excitemeut vividly readied the times when comparatively a handful of Southern patriots successfully contended for four long years against the myriad hosts aud immense resources of the Fed eral army. -Fou Tou.su juts xsu Young Wo men.’ —Tne *• young Folk*' Rural" is the novel title, oi tue new ltuntloud Literary .Monthly heiug issued by 1L N.

Democratic Meeting in Lee County- Htarkville, Lee County, I August 10th 1870, ) At a Democratic Meeting, this day held in this place for the purpose of ap pointing delegates to the State democrat- ic Convention to be held on the 17th instant, G. M. Stokes, was appointed President, and George Kimbrough Secre tary. On motion of J. W. Forester,a commit mittee of five were appointed to suggest suitable Delegates. The Committee re ported the name of G. M. Stoke*, D. U. Sloan, V. G. Hit and J. R- Gilbert. The report of tho Committee wa* adop ted by the meeting. On motion of J. W. Forester, the dele gate* were empowered to appoint their alternates and to represent thia meetiug in every other Conservative Convention which may be held in Atlanta, daring their stay in that city. G. M. STOKES, President, Gr.oBOE Kimbrough, See’y. Communicated. Mb. Editor : Numerous articles have been written by yon in reference to the Rag of Americus, for dereliction of duty on their part as officials, and ao far i as I know, the Mayor and City Council have not tuken any notice whatever of the complaints. I wish to call your attention to another dereliction of duty on their port in this, that one Wm. Day, a person of color, entered tho store house of John C. Joiner, in this place, and abstracted from his drawer something over five dol- change bills. That Joiner report ed the facts to two policemen, they ar rested said Day who admitted that he luvd taken the money and paid five dol lars of it bock tc Joiner. While in tin custody of tho policemen the prisoner brought by them before Justice John ston, and from tho facts presented, there was a question of doubt on bis part that oro! e, and in order to satisfy his mind he left the prisoner iu the custody of the po- lioemen to go to A. R. Brown’s Law Of fice to satisfy his mind on the question. Upon his return tho police and prisoner were all gone. Tho Justice issued his warrant and placed tho same in the Ba- lifT* hands, he called on the police for the prisoner and they told him that they had disclmrgetl him. It is reliably stated by a person that, immediately upon tho release of the prisoner he stated that he had obtained his release by plying the policemen $35.00, aud was going to leave, which he did. The question now is, how long shall we have oflicials of thia kind discharging the duties of onr city ? It strikes me that those w ho retain snch should be watched with a critic’s eye in the future. Observer. Communicated. Building and Loan Association. No. 5. From the workings of these associations in other cities, it luis been demonstrated that in abont fire years a member will by his monthly installments have paid up the loan advanced him. I will show you why it is obtaining money at a less inter est than it can bo borrowed from’ any monied man or the Bank. Suppose for instance that a man oonld borrow $1,000 from auy other source at 7 per cent, per annum, which he oan not, in five years the interest amount to $350.00, making a to tal of $1,350.00 interest and principal.— If he is a member of the Building and Loan Association and holds ten shares he entitled to hid for $2,000—now if he pays 50 per cent premium for it, he will have that amount deducted from the $2,000, and receive $1,000 from the asso ciation. Le is required to pay his one dollar on each share as before, every month, and to pay one dollar extra each share os interest, making a total of $20.00 a month. Now, in five years he will have paid $1,200.00, or in other words have paid back this 81,000 borrowed and $240.00 interest, a difference in favor of borrowing from the association of $100.00, provided he could borrow the mon ey from any one else at as Iowa rate as 7 per cent per annum. The stock will al ways cominaud a good premium after the association has been running for dime. The Ocmulgee Stock of Macon is worth from 35 to 45 per cent premiam on the amount paid in. The Cobimbi Association Stock it worth 40 per cent premium, both been in operation three years. Now, if a party took out 10 shares when the association first organized, and paid $10.00 a month for three years, he would have paid in all $360*00 which he can sell for $504.00 at 40 per cent pre mium. As he has paid up the $360.00 monthly installments of $10.00 each, it equivalent to, by general average of having paid the $360.00 in one payment eighteen months previous, paying a rate of interest of abont 27 per cent, per an num. How can the Capitalist make by investing ? In two ways: he can always sell his stock at a handsome profit bnt here is how he make* the most money ont of it He buys the loan, when money scarce and commands a high monthly rate of interest and when money is plcn tiful and the demand light, he pays it back to the association, which he can do at any time if he so chooses. Thus he ii enabled to borrow a few thousand dollars at abont fl per cent per annnm, and loan it ont from 1! to 25 percent a month, aud not lie compelled to keep the money any longer than he feels so disposed. J. F. Public Meeting in Webster. Preston, Oa., Aug. 8, 1870.

Communicated. Mb. Editor : For the past six months I have been intently watching the pro gress of the Temperance Society, is termed the Independent Order of Good Templars, and have wondered much that tlie good Church members and preachers of our city do not join and help to ad vance the cause of Temperance and with that of the Church. Not long ago we heard a respected and much-loved preach- of the Gospel say that, “ the Church was sufficient to] break up drunkennesa midst ” When I reflected a mo ment I shuddered at the thought that, in the folds of the Church there are many, yes, very many, who drink continually and keep liquor in their stores for the use of t heir friends and customers, and ferj often, though they do not get exactly drnnk, they become exceedingly mellow, and yet they belong to the Church and its power is sufficient to “break up drunkenness. ” Now, wo don’t believe they are interfered with, and we very oft- ht-ar preachers sav they must “ take a little wine for the stomach's soke, *’ and something stronger is soon added for the infirmities < f tho l>ody and to allay tho appetite. Now I know from experience this conduct on the part of Chnroh mem bers deters many sinners from joining those Churches. (I should have said de nomination^, for they allow sncli things.) The Good Templars have done mnch good that the Churches have failed to do, because nq Ohnrcli in this city prohibits in any way the use of intoxicating liquors, and a great deal mors would be done if all would put their influence to bear against the rice of whisky drinking. It enough that they preach the way of sal vation, they “should walk therein and let their light so shine that others should be guided thereby. ” Influence is a great ♦1,,'ng in this world, and those who would aoe it for the glory of God mart not oavfl kt Temperance organizations but join in and help break the hold the old Serpent ha* establfohj*! in onr midst through his grog shops. I am not a member of the Templars neither do I belong to any Church, and as a man of the world I wish to know why the Church-members keep out of. Tribute of lle*pcct. Friendship Lodge, L O. G. T.

A motion was made in the court below to set aside said verdict and judg ment, on tbe ground that on the days upon which tho verdict and judgment purport to have been rendered and en tered, the county court had been abol ished by the constitution of 1868.
