Grort/ian: Will y.'»i allow mo space in your paper, to chronicle the events of :• very pleasant week in the quiet little villnge of Jefferson? For the Inst few days its green hills have worn n holiday look, its streets have keen thronged with bright faces, and its hospitable doors thrown open to receive the many’ visitors, ivho came anxious to be present at the Commence ment of Martin Institute. Oil Sunday, the 4th of July, the exercises were opened with a ser mon from the 4th verse of the 17th chapter of St. John, by Dr. A. A. Lipscomb, of Athens. The discourse was one of great depth and wonderful beauty. Those who listened, felt that they were receiving some of the richest jew els stored in the mind of that gifted man. Both teachers and pupils must knvc been strength ened by his encouraging words, for the arduous duties of the en suing week, which commenced Mouday, July 5th, by the exam ination of the Primary and Medal Classes. All did well, the prompt answers, and bright, intelligent eyes of the little folks, and the confident, ready replies of the older classes, showing that they were well versed in the studies which had furnished employment for their busy, restless brains du ring the past six mouths. All who witnessed these exumiuntious, must have scon in them, as I did, the results of that skillful and pa tient training which ever marks the earnest and zealous teachers. Tuesday, July Cth, was tho trial day for the advanced classes of tho Institution. Many, no doubt, en tered tho lists with wavering cour age ; but fear soon gavo place to confidence, as tho examination pro- o »d, and tho most difficult problems in the higher Mathemat ics were solved and clearly ex plained; French translated^ witji fluency and grace, and Latin and Greek read and parsed with an elegance and case, which plainly showed that the young ladies and gentlemen had not wasted many moments in idleness and frivolity. Classes were also examined in Rhetoric, Mental aud Natural Philosophy. These fully sustain ed tho repulatiou they had gaiued in Mathematics and the Languages. While wo do not claim that no mistakes were made, and no hesi tancy shown, we must say, that every one is perfectly satisfied, that uuder the guidance of their teach ers, the students of Martiu Insti tute have done good work during the past term. _ . , Tuesday evening, at 8 o clock, a latge audience assembled in the Methodist Church, to listen to compositions read by the Junior Class of young ladies, and to tho concert, given ny tho Music Class. The latter is under the manage ment of Miss Lizzie Burch, who again proved, as she has done on former occasions, that she is a skillful and energetic teacher. Many of tho pieces were beauti fully rendered by the youngest members of the Class. W e can not forbear mentioning one pMtie- tilariy, the Home Sweet Home (variations), which was brilliantly executed by Misses Leila Long and Mary Carithers, Below we give the programme for the even ing.

Wednesday afternoon, Mr. P. W. Davis, of Oglethorpe County, delivered the Anniversary Address before the Martin Literary Socie ty. His deliveiy was very easy and graceful, and the address re flected great credit on himself and the Society of which he is a mem ber. The following was the pro gramme for Wednesday, July 7th, 8 o’clock, p. in.: Prize Declamation. Eddie Bush, Jackson County, Ga., *The Radical Party in Con gress.’—Blar. J. O. Shirley, (M. L. S.)

Clarke Couuty, Ga., 'Altering the Virginia Constitution.’—Ran dolph. In spite of a very inclement evening, a largo audience was again in attendance to witness the contest of the young disciples of Demosthenes. The declamation of all was excellent, and the prize, a handsome volume of Owen Meredith’s Poems, was awarded to Mr. J. C. Shirley, of Jefferson. Col. J. B. Silman delivered the serted.’ As the last rumble of carriage wheels dies away in the dim distance, I turn to find what cheer I can in the lonely bachelor quarter of ’Tom Ovee-the-way.’ Atlanta, July 8, 1875. To Ho). H. H. Carlton, $d- X. E. Georgian, Athena, Ga. Dear Sib:—I have thchouor to hand you herewith a correspond ence which explaius itself, also a Programme, of our contemplated Celebration of the 8 th Anniversary iff the ' Fulton.

Hie Ampitheater, which will seat 5,000 people, will lie used for tho mu sical entertainment, which will be conducted upon a grand scale, un der the leadership of J. C. Court- net, Esq., one of the finest musi cians in the State. The blending of so many thousands of young voices, accompanied by the graua Organ which has been engaged for the occasion, will in itself be worth the trip to Atlanta to hear. We shall esteem it a great favor to ourselves and the Sunday School cause if you will fiud space in your journal for tho euclosed Programme and correspondence, and we shall be pleased to have you participate with us upon the occasion. Then the Schools, over forty in num ber, will be called in alphabetical order, snd expected to sing n song, or deliver an address not to exceed fire minutes in length.

There was a striking originality and freshness in the subjects of these essays, which induced me to ex pect something bright and new, and I was by no means disap pointed. My bachelor heart gave more than one throb of pleasure, ns I listened to the silvery tones of the young Indies, and I did not suppress a huge sigh of relief when I remembered, that I for one, was not caught in tho ' Lar row’,’ which Miss Susie Mayne so skillfully wove for Meddlers. I am sure I did not meddle witli her ' Johnnie.’ and his nice little visits, as she seemed to think somebody had been doing, though I might be sorely tempted, did I live in her vicinity. Wednesday, July 7th, 9 1-2 a. in., the exercises of the Senior Exhibition were opened with an impressive prayer by Rev. A. J. Kelley, in which he invoked tho blessings of Heaven on the four fair young girls, who that morniug stood trembling on the threshold of the great future, whose untried paths they were soon to enter. The order of exercises were as follows: Senior Exhibition. Miss Lula Burns, Jefferson, Ga., 'The Poetry of earth is nover dead.’ Miss Alice Amis, Lexington, Ga., ’Trifles make Perfection, but Perfection is no trifle.’ Miss Lizzie Thompson, Jackson County, Ga., 'Good times and bad times and all times pass over, then cheerily bend to the oar.’ Miss Leila Long, Jeffer son, Ga., 'The Fancy that’s touched by Reality’s hand, ne’er soars on bright pinions again.* Rarely have I witnessed any thing more beautiful than the scene of Wednesday morning, from tho opening prayer to tho exquisite and touching song of the graduating class at the conclusion. As the loving refrain, * I’ll remem ber each one in my prayers,’ fell on tho ear, many eyes were dim med with tears, and many a lip breathed a fervent prayer, that the future of the young ladies might be as bright and beautiful ns tiie glowing fancies that filled tiie pages of their parting essays. The compositions of this class wero read clearly and distinctly, and with a lady-like ease and free dom from all' affectation, charac teristic of the pupils of this Insti tution. After awarding the Di plomas, Prof. Glenn concluded the exercises with a short but ex cellent address to the Graduating Class, in which he wove the sub jects of their essays into aqveb of surpassing beauty aud clcgauhe of finish. In this, ho conveyed to them the warmest wishes of his heart for their success aud happi ness in the future, and as I list ened to his earnest words, my whom for a bright future, there is no such won! as fail.’ An amusing incident of tho evening was tho unexpected appearance on the stage of Yankee Doodle, arranged iu stars aud stripes. He came as a vender and ogcut for' patent noses.” This character was per sonated by Mr. R. H Kinnekrew, of Lexiugton, and it wits done re markably well. Thursday morniug, we were ou- tertained with original speeches from the young gentlemen, whose programme we append: Original Speakers. grounds will bo furnished you up on application to Mr. B. W.

Atlanta, Ga., July 1st, 1875. Col. B. \V. Wrenx, • Gen’l Passenger d ; Ticket Agent W.&.A.11.11. ,.i Dear Sir Tho ' Fulton Count}’ Sunday School Associa tion’ will hold its Eighth Annual Celebration at Oglethorpe Park, on the 6th of August next, com mencing at 10 o’clock a. m., and continuing through the day. About fifty Schools belonging to the Association will participate, aud in addition to theso it is ex pected that excursiou trains over all the Railroads contering in At lanta, will bring largo delegations to join us from other cities and towns. It is believed that there will be from three to five thousand people upon the grounds. I write you iu behalf of the General Committee of Arrange ments, to ask upon what terms your Road will run trains to the Park upon that day. We shobld want the first train to start about 8.30 a. in., and make trips as often as practicable v up to about 12 o’clock. Returning,tfaius to commence about 4 o'clock p. m., aud run until all arc brought in Our Programme Embraces ; * Basket Dinner,’ and each train should have a baggage car attach ed to cany baskots and packages, suitably guarded. Au early reply, giviug lowest price for round-trip Tickets, and sucb details of tho arrangements you propose as will be of interest to tho Committee, will oblige. Allow me to add, that consid erable expense will be incurred in getting up this Celebration, for which the Committee are expect ed to provide, and toaak whether we may expect a, donation from your Company for thin purpose. Very rcspectfugy^ '^ ‘ For the Gen’l Committee. Western & Atlantic 3L R. Co., Office Gen’l Passenger A Ticket Agent, Atlanta, Ga., July 2d, 1875. Mr. * J. C. Kimball, and others, Gen’l Committee Fulton County Sunday School Association. Mr Dear Sir :—I am in receipt of your fnvor of this date, and note contents. We will agree to run a train, leaving Uuion Passen ger Depot, Atlanta, at 8.30 a. m., August 6th, and as often thereaf ter during that day as'nitty bo deemed advisable and practicable. Rethrnitig,' leave the Park at 4 o’clock', p. m., nnd aB often there after as may bo necessary. • As you are advised, our track is laid immediately to the gates of Oglethorpe Pork, thus obviating tire necessity of any dusty vxdk to reach the grounds, it being less than ten yards from where our trains stop to the gates. We will make the rate for the Round Trip only 25 cents, aud will agree to donate to the Sunday School As sociation, to assist iivpajfvafcft expenses, 20 'pet *cent. of all the proceeds from sale of Tickets. An ample supply of comfortable coaches will bo provided , for the accommodation of all persons de siring to attend. A baggage car will be attached to each train, with a competent man in charge, in which baskets and packages may be carried free of charge for those who purchase tickets by our train. This, you will perceive, will be a great convenience, saving much trouble and expense. The expense of running special trains, with independent locomo tives, extra conductors, &c., ona separate track, being large, it is, I presume, reasonable for me to expect that your Committee will do everything in their .power to the end that we may secure suffi- ■cient patronage to justify tbe ex- , perise.

The ship Hamilton, ofBoston, arrived at New York last week from 3/itnila. Her commanded, Capt. Ross, states that at 3 a. m. on Juup 4, when in latitude 19 deg., 16 min., lougitudo 57 deg., 51 min., all on board felt the ahoci of an earthquake, which las ted fully 10 minuets. During this time there was a heavy sea running, and in different places the water appeared to revolve in circles Hire a whirlpool. When the disturbance first began the sea was quite smooth, but as the aliocZ.* increased in violence tho waters became correspondingly agitated, terrifying those who were on decA- and aroused those who were sleeping below. Sud denly tho vessel received u shocA', as if she had grounded, aud aep- culiar rumbling noise filled the air. Simultauoously with the shaAdug, the sky assumed a darA, leaden hue. Tho atmosphere was also thicA' and hazy. During the con tinuance of the shocA*, control of the vessel was completely lost, and the ship refused to obey the helm. There was little, if any, wiud at the time, yet the vessel was tossed aliout as though in the midst of a gale. 'J he captain describes the up heaving of the waves as similar to wliat would occur if a series of heavy submarine explosions had taA’cn place. The duration of the shocA* was long enough to enable those who were below to reach the decA’ and witness the unusual sight, After the disturbance had subsided, the sea again became as calm as before. The vessel tained no damage and her cargo appears to bo intact, although her 5,000 boxes of sugar were thrown about by tho shocA*. • Liabilities and small Assets. —During the past season a Geor gia man tiled a petitiou iu volun tary bankrupacy in the office of tho clerk of tho United States District court, setting forth his liabilities to sundry parties the same amount ing in the aggregate to $17,400. As his total assets, the bankrupt returned sundry open accounts for sums ranging from seventy cents to $100, amounting in all to $1,- 786, or about ten per cent, of his indebtedness. This petition was supplemented with a petition that the court would Bet aside from the pnoceeds collected from these ac counts the sum of $500, which the petitioner claimed as his exemp tion under the bankrupt law. Al lowing that twenty-five per cent, of the assets can be collected, which is rather doubtful, the al lowance of this claim of exemp tion would leave but little over five hundred dollars to offset the lia bilities, and this amount would be further reduced by tho cost of courts, fees, etc. Bishop Clark of Rlyide .Is^ml addressed this sensible admonition to writers of hasty sigiiatues: ana “ A " outra g e committed by some persons who ought'to"fciibw bet ter is the singing of their' to letters in such a blind way as to make it impossible to > know how to direct the reply..a 1> have sometimes been obliged to but out the address and paste it on tho,let ter sent in return and let it tyke its chance.” ‘' The Atlanta Constitution: Be fore emancipation suddenly befell the negroes, there was scarcely a cose of lunacy among thorn, but now tho number of insane negroes in the South is becoming a subject of inquiry.

A Jolly Boy is Sartoris.—I have seen but very little of Grant; although there is an employee of CoL Presbus rVa among his 250 servants at the West Ena House who is ssid to be the picture of the hero of Appomattox. He is, I think, a stage-driver, and is a strawberry hlonde. Grant keeps Very quiet, and will not talk even to his most intimate friends aboutftbei third term. But the most populartynd best- natured and most jolly boy at Long Branch is Algernon Sartoris, the hu? band of Nellie Grant, and son-in-law to the President, and when he is - not driving his pretty wife along, the beach in a little pony chaise, he wan ders along the drive iA an unassuming manner, yj a loose sack coat, vahieffat about $6 or 67, and makes himselfat home in a good-natured, plucky way Um defies criticism and makes him quite* liked by all the young people.
