I** BftMesvtlle Wffkly Gazette pounS l > Editor*.. G. RLAMBPIN. ) Thursday Horning August 12tb, Trip to Nortli-westeru Georgia- Musical ConveatioiK at Sugar Talley Church, Gordon County, Georgia* About’ the ■dark hour of 12 o’clock, aV U'glit of Thursday last* we arrived at the village Resaca on W. dt A. R. R„, and were kindly received by our triend Barnett, at the hotel. After quietly reposing for five hours, arid a good breakfast, we were furnished a conveyance the distauce of six miles to Sugar Valley church. Fiotn Resaca to Sugar Valley- are some very fine lands to be seen, yet the crops are not w> fine as the land would have produc ed had there been any rain in the last six or eight weeks. The drought has been very severe in all North-west Ga., as far as we could hear. Lands are txofe changing hands very rapidly in upper Georgia, but where a price is placed po any, from Resaca around, via Sugar Valiev to Calhoon, the county Site of Gordon county, it is rated from S2O per acre upwards. Notwithstanding the incessant dry Weather. the last six or eight weeks, in the Valley, the citizens did not show *my signs of diseoui agemeat. There was a fair crop of wheat mad"® :n the country, and plenty of old com on hand, and fat beeves and shoats were on hand ample to supply the demand. We shall never forget the very pleasnt time we spent with our oil friend M. Boaz and Lis son-in-law Mr Ne’sou, who entertained a large crowd <eaeh night wo spent in the Va ley. The N. W. Gra., M. 0 elected D. 3. McFarland, President, 11. K. Mdn, Vice President, M. H. Sanders, Secre tary, and Thomas £. Whittlo Assist ant Secretary. Ti e Convention was conducted in the best of order. Our young friend McFarland manages well aa a Pre siding officer, and in company with Bro, J. W, Ramsey, deserve great credit for the vast amount of good they are doing as Music Teachers. They had many schools represented in the Convention, and among tfcerr repre sentation were middle aged men who are active, useful members of the •church, who are lending a helping hand towards promoting church music by patronizing their teachers liberally. AYe do not remember to have seen more persons at once engaged in ting ing in a concert than were here engag ed ; over half in the house participated, and the house wonld hold about five hundred persons, and they had been pretty well drilled by their teachers. We made the very pleasant acquaint ance of P. T. Carrel!, of Summ.er ville, Cbattoga couuty, who taught music many years ago, and well understands the tusiness, and enters fully into the enjoyment of what he sings, and sings in a pr*>p©r mauues. We hope we may hear from him again through the Gazette. At this Convention we met teachers aud leaders a good num ber; some of whom I will mention who lead good lessons ’ A. J. Barnelt, •of Tilton, Ga., E. It. Hamilton, of Vi 1 - lanow, Ga., A. Kinnamon and L. S. Kinnnmon, Tilton, Ga , J. S. H. Black, Stilesborough, Ga., B. W. Cas tleberry, Rock Spring, Ga., J. 11. Say hrs, Trion Factory, Ga.. S. M. Itoacb, Red Clay, Ga., and M. M. Barry, Dalton, Ga., a youth about fifteen years of age we suppose, who bids fair to be useful ns a vocalist if be wi 1 continue to improve as lie has for some trine prst. He leads well for aloy so yonng. J. A. Bradley and Joab Lewis, teachers from the Cherokee M. Convention, were present, and appear ed to be interested considerably in the subject. There is mueh enthusiasm among the membership of this body nd we are inclined to believe a con siderable amouui of good will be done by them in promoting a good cause.— Just let those young men who are now beginning to lead purchase the proper text books aud not be too hasty to be teachers before they have well stored their tniuJs with rudimental matter, and attain the proper proficiency in practice, and they may be meful to the woild by hav.ng lived. T be busii.ct-s of this session was in teresting. A commitiee w'as appoint ed to select a teacher, a place, and time to conduc t a normal school, and the choice fell upon Prof. J, W. Ram sey, the place Dogwood Church, Dog wood \ alley, and ihe time to corn- ineoce 6th day of December next, to continue twenty flays. This is to be Jjrincipally a drill exerc'se, to receive *ll who desire to ead music. Let all young pers ns who desire to attain to proficiency take a course with i’tof. Ramsey next December, He is "Well qualified, has a fine library of music books from the best authors, and be has much experience in teaching any system of music. Let the Nor mal School be well patronized. On Sabbath evening, as the time drew near to a close, and the selections of music were becoming more on the pensive order, and the sentiment sung “Wben shall we all meet again, etc./’ we could perceive that serious, solemn thoughts were pervading the minds of the entire assembly. Ihe exercises were closed with the best of feeling and hopes entertained, if on earth we meet no more, that ere long we might sing on the blbsful ♦iiore. ’I he exorcises having closed, our good friend, Eli Burkett, formerly of Upson county, G., kindly proposed to deliver us to Calhoun, a distance of seven miles, which opportunity we were proud to meet with. While enroute to Calhoun, our friend Burkett gave us many interest ing woeounts of the lands of Upper Georgia. The iron, coal and gold mines will ere long, we believe, attract the attention of heavy capitalists to this country. Northern Georgia, ta ken all in all, is a great section. At Calhoun we met with our young friend, J- O. Dobbins, formerly of Bal timore City, but now merchant of •Calhoun, who is doing a thriving busi ness in this place, and should aDy of 4*% i merchants Deed any bacon, corn, , v. , -IF \ s Friendship’s Chain. 9 - 8 - w - L * williams, —For j. m. goodwin.

Joyful X}<Ly Original by S, D. BURDEtT, March 21, 18G9. This is the day the Lord hath made; lie calls the hours his own. Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, And praise surround His throne, wheat or any kind of produce gotten up from this part of the State whe~e it is i heap, send your order to J. O. D. and he will save money for you. He is a good trader, knows every body in that country, his father having lived there fora long time, and owns one of the most valuablo possessions of land in Gordon county. At Calhoun we tarried with onr highly esteemed friend, Judge W. O’ Holmes, formerly of Baruesville, Ga., until 10 o’clock (train tini'e). He has cnarge of the High School at Calbottn, .and we learned from some of Uts pat rons in the Valley that ho could not be excelled as instructor of the young, having better discipline and considered a better scholar than any oue ever yet at that place. We suppose Calhouu will about compare with Barnesville in population. Judge Holmes speaks of Northern Georgia as a good section ; thinks there are hidden fortunes for many enterprising persons that may invest in lands in that region, vet does not appear to be as well satisfied with the country as some others we have seen, we suppose owing to his not dealing so much with the soil as some others have done. At ten o’clock we bid adieu to our Calhouu friends; fell aboard the W. & A. train and, feeling much confidence in the captain oh board, we slept the most of the time while enroute to At lanta. On Monday morning we bought the books requested by onr North Georgia friends, shipped them immediately, fell aboard fhrt M. & VV. tr<*u, and learned through our friend J. S. JeffYiess, the Rou'e Agent, the cans** r-f eo many failures in mails throughout the conns try. We believe Mr. Jeffriees well understands his business, and prompt ly sets all mail matter in a wandering way, that passes through his hands ou its proper route lor arrival speedily to its destination. LESSON IN MUSIC. CHAPTER XLII. OF THE ADDED NINTH. Question. — A chord of bow many sounds is formed, when to the Chord of the Dominant Seventh, the Ninth is also Joined ? Answer.—A chord of five sounds is formed and rises from the Root by regular thirds, as G B D F A. Q. In producing Harmony with the aided ninths, how many parts are we compelled to employ ? A. Four parts, and the radical Base is commonly omitted, for tie leading note is always sufficiently powerful to guide the ear to its proper Root. Q. What is the name of the added Ninth to the Dominant of the scale ? A. The added Ninth of the Domi nant from the M-jor Key is tbe Sub mediant of the Major Scale. Q. Why is the Dominant often call ed the Dominant Seventh, when in fact it i3 ouly a fifth from the M*jor Key ascending ? A. The two keys bang related as beads of a family, the Seventh is de rived from the Minor Key, as frem A to G a seventh ; and the Fiftb, or Dominant, from C Major Key, as from C to G. Q If tbe added Ninth of the Do-mi nant is the Submediant of the Major Scale, what is its distauce from A, the natural Minor Key ? A. As the ninth from G Dominant to C, the Major Key, is A, heuce we fiud it to be tbe Natural Minor Key of itself. Note.— Mr. Kollman (Essay on Harmony) terms this Ninth a suspen sion of the original fundamental note. Such is also the system of Kimberger; but tbe Nomenclature is defective, since tbe above Harmony is used gen erally without preparation, and in some instances actually rises from tbe Dom inant by thirds. See Handel’s Chorus in “Israel in Egypt,” “The People Shall Hear,” at the words, “Tell thy people pass over.” See, also, the opening of Haydn’s celebrated Over ture in D, composed for Bach and Al el s Concerts, where, upon a Domi nant Pedal Base, the Fourth is sas pended aud the Ninth added. Q. If tbe omission of the Root forms a chord of the seventh on the Leading Note, how may it be known from tbe other sevenths? A. It may be known from the Sev enths of Sequence or Suspension, by its resolution into the Tonic. It may sometimes be prepated, but is general ly used without preparation. Q. Are anv vf tbe Inversions of this Seventh employed in the Mejor Scale ? A. None are; but all aio Used in that of the Minor. Q. In a close investigation of this chord, what is it found to combine ? A This ■chord is a combination of the Dominant and Subdominant Har monics, since it contains the B and D of the former, and the A ami F of the latter, while the resolution of D and F falls on the same note. Q. What is to be observed in the above combina'ion of sounds? A. It is observable that the above combination of souuds incluoes every note of the sca'e, excepting the three notes of the Triad on the Tonic, and that it also decides the mode of the scale, since the Sixth, or Submediant, is pari of the Chord of the Subdomi naait, which is Major or Minor accord ing to the key. Q Of what dops the same chord in the Minor Mode consist ? A. Of three Minor Thirds, and its extreme notes are the Sharp Seventh and Minor Sixth of the scale. It is of such importance in modern music that it is termed the Diminished Seventh, or Equivocal Chord. Q. Where can the Seventh of G sharp only be found ? A. Only in the Key of A Mi tor, Q V\ here can the ladical Base of this chord be found ? A, In extreme modulations by two methods. Ist, By the Major To ml below the last Sharp ; 2nd, by the sem itone below the last Flat. Q W hat is the Chord of the added Ninth termed ? A. Chord of Major and M nor Sub p/-/>//>/■ rt Cmoo J derived from the Dominant Seventh by substituting the Ninth in the place of the Eighth. [communicated.J Messrs. Editors : Good luck hav ing carried us, a few days since, to your pleasant little town, we have con eluded to give your readers an account of what we saw and heard during our stay. To those who have visited Barnes ville, it is nse!e-s to say it is one of the most delightful places in Middle Geor gia. As regards refinement and culti vation, it stands upon an equality with any place of its size in the South.— The town is much scattered and is ex ceedingly healthy. The business men seem to be wide awake, and prosperity and success crown their efforts. Rarely has it been our good fortune to spend so delightful a season. Aside from the pleasure of being with some of our dearest and best friends, the kind regard shown us by some of the estimable citizens tendered our stay doubly pleasant. On Thursday night, 29th ulf., an entertainment was given by a number of ladies and geutlemen for the pur pose of raising funds for improving the soldier’s cemetery. It was originated and directed by Mrs. Blalock and Mrs. Rockwell, ladies eminent alike for goodness and energy. In the selection and arrangement of the programme, much system, judg ment and good tuste were displayed. The evening being pleasant, the ball was well filled at an eaily hour. Tbe exercises were introduced by a fine se lection by the Silver Cornet Band, fol lowed by charades, tableaux, and mu* sic of diffeieut styles. The charades were very fine, and the characters well supported. We were not a little sur prised to find such talent among the young people of Barnesville. Where all did well, it will, perhaps, not be amiss to alludo to a few who es pecially deserve our commendatio . Miss Tyler, whose lovely face, “bonnie black eves” and “raveu tress es” would make her a favorite with any audience, added greatly to her charms by her modest and unpietend ing manner, as well as tbe skill aud grace with which 6he performed her part. Miss Dumas personates well ; her tone of voice and manner of speaking were admirably adapted to the char acter she so creditably sustained. We can never repress a smilo so long as we retain a remembrance of Miss Fouche’s rendering of the ‘old maid.” As an amateur her acting is beyond criticism, and, with some expe rience, would do credit to the stage. Misses Chambers, Lee and Harris added much to the attractiveness of the stage by their handsome appear ance and skillful delineations. Mr. Strother would make a fine comedian. He is very much at ho re on the stage and sustained different characters with marked success. Vt e were much impressed with the noble appearance and dignified bearing of Mr. Hanson, who performed his part quite creditably. Mr. Elder took a prominent part in the entertainment and made a success of everything lie attempted. Several songs and choruses were veil rendered by the amateurs, Mrs, Hightower presiding at tire piano with her usual skill and attraciive grace. “Japtain Jenks,” sung by Mr. Rog ers, proved* h'ghly pleasing to the au dience. II is voice is rich aud mu-ical, and, with cultivation, would make a “star tenor.’ T “The Bell Goes Riogiog for Sarah,” suog by Miss Harris, was quite a suc cess. We were at a loss which most to admire, her fresh, youthful beauty or the charming witchery of her man ner. The tableaux scenes were very fine. These, we believe, were under the skillful direction of Mr. A. M Lamb dio, and evinot-d much talent as well as a highly cultivated and refined taste. T 1)6 Stiing Band regal'd ns with some delightful musie between scenes and added much to the success of the performances. The entei tainment, like every tiling else, had a finale, and runny s. emed reluctant to leave the scene of enjoy ment ; yet we think all were well sot isfied with the evening’s performance To the managers and performers is due mu oh credit for their efforts in a 'lWtwy J f. eournged to make renewed efforts in future. We cannot dose without a few words of com iru ml a Ton fo the audi ence. \Ve have m ver been present on any occasion wbeie mote p*-ifectde pertinent was maintained. The po lite at'e itioi) and high appieria ion ol the audience evidenced the high t ned charac er of the people. M. Agricultural Medina: in Zcbi:- lou.

From Scmter. —The Courier of SaturJav (?a}B : We paid a visit to a few farmers north of our city and found the crops in good condition. Some have u-ed iertilizers, aud its effects can be readi ly f-een. YV e saw one field on part of which fertilizers were used, whilst on the remainder none were employed.— \Y r e could tell from the road, without any difficulty, the very row where they began to use the guano. The crops evidently show the great benefit to he derived from the use of fertilizers. The only difficulty is, our farmers are too sparing in the use of manures.
