A Smart Little Sensation at America#* From the Macon Telegraph. Our sister city, Amerieus, is a placid, even-going place, and does not very o?* ten step to the front with anything like a sensation. Lately, however, she has run out of the old groove#, and has found something out of the oornmon to talk about, although she seems to have endeavored to keep it all to herself. The facts, as we have been able to as certain them, are substantially as fol lows : Messrs. Barlow A Callaway are doing a thriving mercantile business iu that city. At least they knew that they were selling a good many goods, at pri ce# which allowed them # margin, and were surprised, a short time since, to find that they were unable to meet their obligations. They did not understand the matters at all They were satisfied that the amount of goods they were selling ought to have put them in easy circuumuncea, sod give them some spending money beside. They eo not ** through the mvsterv at all at the first glance, and were puzzled over ] of a—of—so forth, and all dat sort it no little. These gentlemen had in their employ ment a young man named W. A Pal mer The morals of this young man were irreproachable. In fact, they were on the high pressure style. He ab- horrrtl bar and billiard rooms, never waa known to swear an oath or utter an untruth, and went to Sunday school with a regularity which induced parents of a baddish sort of boys to hold him up as a paragon of all that waa strictly moral and genteel for their b«y» to imi tate. The model young man was book keeper for the firm, had charge of their banking business, and handled all the money that waa received or paid out. There waa no limit to the confidence that his employers had in him. They trusted him as one who bad not the power to do a wrong. When Messrs. Barlow A Callaway found their business in such an embar rassed condition—not hiving money enongh to meet their obligations—they opened their eyes wide, and for the first time in months, began to look into the very heart of their own affairs. An investigation disclosed to them the as tonishing fact, that the model young man, to whom they had entrusted tlie whole of their affairs, bad been carry ing on a system of defalcation, which had well nigh ruined his employers. They scarcely believed it at first, but a persevering investigation fastened the conviction so firmly upon their minds that they were forced to believe it—to believe, not only that their trusted clerk has been defrauding them, but that he had actually defrauded them out of the enormous sum of fifteen thousand dol- dare. They were surprised—astounded by the revelation. Their next step was to charge the crime upon him, and he admitted it like an honest young man. and like a model young man, proposed a compromise The gentlemen acceded to the proposi tion, and the young man returned them three thousand dollars of their money which he had stolen. A brother of his afterwards found that he had seventeen hundred dollars more in his possession and made him turn that over also. That ended the matter. '1 ho young man was permitted to go and be a model for young California youths, as be had been for Amerieus young men. What he did with the moucy he stole has not been ascertained. All that his employ ers know is that they are now sadly straightened for want of it. One of the gentlemen is in a ruined condition finan cially. The other has ample means out side of his business, and suffers less. of tings. Why he says— Dar waa aa old woman, and what do you think, She lived upon nothing but tittle and drink. In de seventeenth place, section de forty thieves: my Peruvian sun s'wers—give your divided years my attention—when a man entera de holy bonds of padlock, when he leads his gal to de halter, does he ever tbitik how sad’ll be his fate before he is bridle wise?

Free dollars an inch on de gal's hoops; ten cents ou R d’s inelish, and dat’s about as much as dey are worth. My builder ignoramuses, in de course of human events, it be come useless to protract dis subject nay furder, and now 1 lay me down to sleep ou a ladder FATHER CARTER. A Regular 'Hardshell 8ermon.' The Southern- Magazine has a sketch of Father Carter, a "hard shell” Bap tiat preacher, whose youth had been spent in the mountains of Carolina, but who was a noted preacher of his per suasion He was aa enthusiast on the subject of "immersion,” and being strong in his own conviction, earnest and de- c d;d in expressing them, he influenced others. He gathered around him os deciples men of higher cultivation than himself. His preaching would aston ish any city congregation, but it was at least stirring in its character. In the woods and under the giant trees and in the log school houses of California, where he was brought in contact with minds ss rude and uninformed as his own, it was that his emotional nature met a response and carried his audience with him. A favorite sermon of his be called his “eagle” sermon and waa from a text in Deuteronomy : "As an eagie stireth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, tsketh them.” The writer once heard it. and its general tenor is indelibly stamped on his mind. After a long preliminary exercise, he began: My friends thar is meny kinds of eagles. They are singular birda. Thar is the gray eagle with white bars on his head ; thar is the bald eagle ditto, who goes about like a roarin' lion seek- hat he may eat up. Thar is the grand ole American eagle, what flops his wings and flies over ail creation; an l DAT's WHAT A 11a* saID. j hev hearn tell of a double-hedder, an Secondly, in the third place in de Austrian, but I never seed one, and I time of de wet weather, when it rain- don't believe thar is one, though that eit thirty-seven days and twenty-four don't signify, for some of you uns might nights in de long dry month of Augus, j say you hadn't never seed God. conse- when Noah t ok into de Ark, out of j queudy tbur wurn't none.

Whar’s de good time coming! am it here? am it dar? My sweet geraniums, when de Prince of Whales married Lncretia Bogia, and de Radicals run ofl wid all de Sunday school stamps, what did Oliver Cromwell say? Why, as he stood driking a glass of bay rum wid Barn urn’s bearded woman, he said to himscll— was s tree ; then they put in it little sticks, and littler and littler; till bime- by it wur small and compack like. Then they got ail the wool and down and soft things, and put ’em d >wn in the bottom, and on the aides of its insides, and made it smooth and warm and comfort able like—like unto the man who filled his barns, and told hia heart to be eaay and nateral like—and laid tbeir eggs thar—but fur the terrible be—that ia he wur to die that very night, and all his nice things wouldn’t be any more uce to him—though they wern't hurt, fur all their eggs were hatched all their young uns oarne octwitb nary a aingle feather on them—nevertheless, notwith standing far which Wal, these angle* and tbeir young! take* appWa^ peaches which thing* de wet, de elephant, de little pig.de cock-roaches and all de other birds —now you do you spose dat if he had given de contract to build ()«■ Ark to Governor R dat it would have been finished?

De star3 datdidnt fell was failure: de buro is a failure, because whar is de nigger dat eber got one. One eyed chapter, clause twenty- nevertheless, notwithstanding for which. Now I onct knowed a eagle—that is. I knowed on him—and her too, fur thar wur two on ’em, a big rooster eagle and a hen eagle. It were in the big moun- j tings of Californy. and thar they pitched their tents in a taH apd toweriag pine —right in the top—and it hung over a deep precipice, whar tear was danger of being participated down the preci pice "when the loud winds did roer on Californy’s shore.” But it wurn t; fur He caileth His sheep by name and they follow him. and the desert blossoms like a rose, and the barren are better then them that bear children—nevertheless, notwithstanding for which. Wal, these here eagles pitched thur tents in this waste, howling wiiderneas. whar they were aa lonely as a solitary snipe iD dog days. Fust they got whar thar wor two crosa limbs; then they brought big uns in their fine home, and had on soft clothing like John the Immeraer wan- dering in the wilderness, whar they wur in King's houses—and the big nne fed ’em, as parents feed their little uns— though thar'a a commandment agin stealin’, which the eagle* have to do, but it is their natnr—though that don't signify, for it's a man's natur to steal sometimes, and he’s got to fite agin that natur fur when I would do good, evil is present—and a man ain’t a eagle bird by chance—nevertheless, notwithstand ing fur which. When the eagles growed up and had feathers—that is, when they came to the age of countability, whicn is expected of boys and girls like—though eagles natur is different—then the old eagles wanted them to flow abroad and mount wings of eagles.find jine the thong that floats around the throne. And that’s whar the text begins; for that’s the way the Father wants us to do when we reach the age of ’countability—to upward—to fly upward—to fly up ward and jine the band in the narrer way, and pass through the strait gate But they did not like to leave home and their kindred and parents, and seek a country like unto the good old Abra ham— •Whar, oh whar ia the good old Abraham? U bar, ob whar ia tbe good old Abraham ? Whar, oh wear ia tire good old Abraham ? Sate in the promised land 1” The old eagle goee off and "fluttereth iver her young,” and that brings us io the second pint of our discourse. ‘ She fluttereth,” she flops her wings, like unto a as yon have seen a hawk just a gitting ready to pounce down upon a poor field mouse—though it ain t like that neither for the hawk Sutters in wrath but the eagle fluttereth over her young ones iu love Brethren and sis ters, she flutters D love just like when you see p or little uns a treading of the downward path, and your heart flottera nd flutters because you are afraid— and she goes over her nest end hollers squawk—which, when you hollers you mean to tell ’em to "take keer! take keer 1” only the birds talk ia not like oar talk—and they hear that voice and creep into the sides of the nest, and see their fond parent a flopping of their wings, and cry with their little peeked voice, peek, which means father dear and mother dear I like to fuller you, fur “Pm bound for tbe land of Canaan ! I'ft bound for tbe land of Canaan 1 I’m bound for the lend of Canean 1 For it io my beppy Lome," The eagle baa stirred her neat, she hath fluttered over her young, and that brings us to the third pint of the dis course. And now my dear friends what does she do ? She spreadeth abroad of her wings. Thar she is right up agin the ky! her wings stretched like the shad- der of a mighty rock in a dry land. Thar below ia the little eagles a standin’ on the last stick, the last prop, holdin' on with their trembling feet (like grim death,) while fiery billows roll beneath —tfeared to fly, afeared to stay, afeared to do anything, afeared not to do some thing, knowing thar is a deep precipice, whar the worm dieth sot and the fire ia not quenched, knowing that is a placo whar the streets run with milk and hon ey, and wh/.r thar'a no weepiu’ no mournin', no gnashin’ o’ their teeth from under eui. And whar are they? Tea, and whar are you my brethren and sisters ? Whar *re you ? Soars art flutterin’ like wonnded d vea, down, down, down to the lake whar they cry for a drap of Water to ooo! the perchad tongue, whar 1-asaruswms in poor Dives' bosom—or a mountin’ up on wings of eagles—whar they shall run and not get weary, whar they shall walk and not faint. Nevertheless, notwithstand ing fur which. And that brings us to another pint of onr discourse, which ia He taketh em. And thar'* different ways of takin things. Thar's people with mighty talcin' ways, and thar'a officers that takas you to and thara hoys who they onghtent—and thar’e people that take* you in—which isn’t meant for the good una which takes stranger* in and takes keer on em—like unto the Gomoriass when l.ott’a wife was took into tbe house like a pillar of salt and was divided into four quarters and sent into the land of Israel, far which the anger burnt agin em—for the hurt of the daughter of Israel waa sore. But lie taketh em—I don't mean the eagles—and leads em to near pastnrea and beside still watirs, whar thar’s no more sighin' and sufferin’ no tnore weepin’ and portin’—fur "Parent* unit children thar shall meet I Parent* and children thar shall meet 1 Parents and children thar shall meet 1 Shall meet to part no more On Cenaan'a bappy shore 1” Imagine wll this uttered in an impaa- aionate manner, the tearsmt times stream ing down tbe preachers face, and the quotations—psalm book. Mother Goose, or Franklin’s aphorisms—chanted with a rich, fall voico, and you can get a glympse of Father Carter in his palmy days. UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA COM- MESCEMENT. Alumni Dty.—Bishop Pierce’* Ad- dxeu etc. Athens, Ga., August 6,1872. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Last night the final celebration .of the DemosthenUn Society cam® off in the chapel. J. D. Scott, the ora tor, delivered a good speech. Aimer Thornton, of LaGrange. then presented the medals, as fol lows: Best debater, H. W. Barron, Athens; second debater, C. Q. Mc Cord, Augusta; best Sophomore de bater, P^A. Stovall, Augusta, best debater agricultural department, Fred. D. Pope, Washington. Tbe young gentlemen also had “tbe annual dancing soiree" at Den- tree Hall, which was a complete suc cess. The ladies all looked their prettiest, and all enjoyed themselves until early in the morning. The greatest belles of the occasion, and of commencem nt, were Miss L. L. of Mucoa.aud MissL. S., of Waynes boro. At 10 o'clock this morning the Alumni Society held its annual busi ness meeting. The election ol a trustee for the next four years came up, and upon motion of Col. Sam Halt, Mr. John C. Rutherford, of Bainbridge, was re-elected. The chapel was well crowded to hear the address of Rev. George Pierce, who took as his subject: ‘Public Opinion—its Origin and in fluence.” I do not like to attempt to give an analysis cf the speech, because do analysis ever does justice to the speaker. His subject shows bis Ike of thought,and first as to its origin. What, then, is this mysteri ous element called pobfic opinion ? Is R tbe opinion of a class ? Is the press its exponent, or is it the silent unuttered opinion of tbe multitude? Public opinion, popolarity so-called, is an exceedingly complicated affair. It is as complex as the wheel of Ezekiel's vision. It is sometimes a perfect personification of demagog. Then there ia conventional opin ion, that common to nil classes and agns ot society. ProlesaioofiJ tdfo- syncraslas of lawyers,' doctors, etc., that extend nut«ard, and contribute largely to public oplnic®. There ara old people'* notions, and young ; eo- pie's too, especially young men. Here be showed how vice bad It# influence. Also, he went on to show how one man conld direct pablic opinion by bravely leading ill. No men’s private opinion. W one break the Ice, end the others floun der across whenever tbe. way la cleared, these men are a benefit to the world. Then be began to throw a flood of hnttior Into bis speechthat Was well received, about the maw's fashion*,• and the Mle*, how h yt dressed in the highest of style, played the gallant at an age younger than thair lathers were When they wore their first shoes. How In young la dies nature had been transformed into art by pad* and pulti and bus tles and tbe like./ It was a grand speech—one hi every way worthy of' its author, and tbe attention and ap plause given him evinced in what spirit it was received by the audi ence. The Weather Is cool, owing to Cloudiness, but the eujoyment of tbo visitors b unabated. Gen. Toombs and L. Q. C. Lamar are now here. At 7 o'clock tbe Alumni banquet Is Held. The 3. A. 8. fraternity bol I a reunion to-night. Ifte X. A. held theirs last Friday night, alter the adjournment of its convention. The others will bavo theirs before com mencement i i over. Tbo trustees have Changed the University vacation. Instead oltwo vacations of a month each, In sum mer and in winter, there Is to be but one, from commencement, the first Wednesday in Angnst, to the firs Wednesday in Octcber. Many persons here doubt tbe expediency of such a change. The Board le very roll and stlfl continue to hold iheir meetings. Topping Cottas a Remedy far the CeterpUIor- Mr. J. McMlchael, a Vary worthy and reliable planter, residing in Upson coun ty, announces that removing th* bud of the topmost boughs of the cotton plant in seaaoM when tbe wetrm ia reported, ia a sure preventative of their ranges. In 1868 he experimented on one field, topping half of it and leaving the re nder untouched. The result wee » heavy crop from the topped portion, and the utter destruction by the caterpillar of the other half 3mce then he has ooWrinwed the prac tice whenever threatened by the insect, with the same success. Mr. McMich- ael's theory is that the fiy deposit* it# eggs in every instance in the bud of the stalk, and if this it destroyed the forth coming ewarw of worms ia effectually stopped He ia vary particular, how ever, to take nut of the field in bags or baskets all the tender sprouts clipped from the ptanf. as the egga might hatch if they were thrown upon the ground md suffered to remain there. We give thia statement just aa received from tbo author himself, for whose veracity and respectability Mr. SaUflahory and other gentlemen here will vouch. Indeed, iV waa at the instance of (ha former that we were induced to solicit the abov* facia for publication. The remedy ia simple and can nt leut do no harm. Let- our planters test it generally.
