By order of the President. 1). W. K. Peacock, See’y. AKSAPt'US, MARYLAND, Feb. 5, 1872. Mn*r*. Wikle A WUcle , Carlern ille , Qa ..__Df.au Sih: Please tell me what you think altogether of the ser viceable qualities of the “ Fairhaven Country Press.” Is the newspaper and job perfect and pretty, neat and smooth? impression good? Please send me your paper and some speci men job work done on it, if Ido not trouble you too much. I wish such a press, if it will answer. Will its work compare with that of the “ Camp bell ?” Do you work it all by hand, or altogether by steam ? If by hand, does it fidigue much? Please give me your real and frank judgment, Respectfully, Wm. L. Inglehakt, “ Ed. and Prop. Advertiser.” In reply to the above, we will say that the “ Fairhaven Press,” taking into consideration its low price, great durability, convenience, elegant app<*arance, superior distribution of ink, not liable to get out of order, do ing the greatest variety of work, requiring less power than any other and with less noise and jar, we con sider it the best press for country' newspaper and job offices, where a variety of work is done. We print business eards, circulars, letter and bill-heads, as neatly on it as can be done on a Gordon; also pamphlets, handbills and posters, and chromatic type with precision. We have had an experience of up wards of ten years as pressman in newspaper and job offices, running presses of different patterns, and un hesitatingly express the above as our candid professional opinion of the “ Fairhaven Country Press.” We will say here that no press is perfect , and we have made some improvements on ours, at a cost of less than five dollars, which we will explain to you should you purchase one and desire it. WIKLE. (COMM UNICAT ED.) Rockmakt, Ga., Feb. 13, 1872. Mess us. Editors: I cut the en closed from one of your late papers. The Virginia paper never received the full account of that transaction. My hoofs, what a stench! Please republish your extract with the addition. You may rely on the addenda. 1 was there and saw it all. “ A Virginia paper lias a most fe licitous way of employing elegant and expre.-sive figures of speech, ;iv wit ness the following: ‘The Devil first invented snakes, fleas, scorpions, ta rantulas, centipedes, mosmiitos, gnats, hyenas, owls, buzzards, hawks, vul tures, alligators, stingorees, gars, sharks, chigres, and vampires; and, to concentrate all the meanoss and deviltry in creation, he put these in a cauldron and boiled them down and produced a carpet-bagger, as the masterpice of Satanic hate. And Satan smiled when his eyes lirst rest ed on his lust bom and favorite bantling.’ ” While dad was busy making car pet-baggers, and before the liell-broth was used up, mam threw in a skunk, (I thought it stunk before! —I was mistaken). Os the improved mess tiiey made the scalawag. Wcllitites gave them the sidewalk. It turns put as the sum of feetidity eliminated by the improved mess by mam ex ceeds the sum of feetidity of the orig inal broth by dad, in just the same ratio Gov. Brown, and Blodgett, and Conley, and their set of natives, are meaner and stink worse than Gov. Bullock, and Kimball, and Cook, and Bradley, and their set of foreigners, IMP. The Education Bile. —On last Thursday the House of Representa tives passed an education bill origi nally introduced by a carpet-bagger from Mississippi, named Pierce, but which was much improved by sever al amendments afterwards incorpora ted by Democratic members, promi nent among which was one allowing the States to forbid mixed schools. Synopsized provisions of the bill are as follows: One-half of the pro ceds of the sales of public lands is to l>e distributed among the States on the basis of illiteracy, and therefore on the population of school age. The proceeds are about $1,000,000 annually. The remaining half constitutes a per petual fund in the United State's treas ury for educational purposes. The probability is that for the first ten years four-fifths of the amount will be expended in the South. The World’s Railroads.—As strange as it may seem, the United States possesses more than 50,000 miles of railroad out of the 124,000 in the world. Great Britain follows the United States with 16,000 miles; Ger many has 12,000; France 10,000; Rus -5,600; Austria 4,600; Spain 3,700; Italy 3,400; Belgium 1,000; Holland 1,000.

For the injuries so sustained, at the close of the war, the United Htates Government, on the ground that this vessel was armed and equipped and stmt from British waters by the permission if not by the connivance of the British Gov ernment, whieh, as a neutral nation, she was l>ound to prevent, demands redress, and particularly becaase after j the battle of Gettysburgh, the only I offensive operations which the Con federate Government was able to ! make were through the agency of | this vessel. The United States, therefore, laid claim to damages for all the injuries and losses sustained by her in the premises, and the two ■ Governments failing to agree, both, as to the terms and subject matter of i the demand, at length agreed to sub ' mit the whole question to what is j familiarly known as the “High Joint | Commission,” selected by either par ; ty from their separate governments, which commission met at the city of Washington la»t year. The whole matter was eventually, by them, de termined to be submitted to an arbi tration, to be held in the city of Geneva and there the questions should be decided. The two Governments j agreeing to tills arrangement of the j“Jligh Commission” ratified its terms by treaty, known as the “Treaty of Washington.” Much feeling and considerable anxiety, in relation to the whole cefke, had from the beginning lieen entertained by the respective Governments, but it was now believed that a speedy and amicable and satisfactory adjustment of the matters in dispute would hap pily be made. Some short time since, according to arrangement, the arbitrators met at Geneva and entered upon their duties ; but difficulties are presented, which, not only remove the former hopes of a friendly settle ment, but may leave the whole dif ficulties to the decision of arms. We learn generally that “ the claims which the United States presented for direct damages, for destruction of Gov ernment vessels, and for Merchant vessels and their cargoes, and for Government expenditures in pursuit of cruisers, and for enhanced rates of insurance paid, amounted to some thing over the sum of twenty-six millions of dollars.” it would seem that the British Government pro ceeded in the submission of the ques tion to arbitration under the idea that the Government of the United States would insist upon nothing more than a claim for direct dama ges for losses actually sustained, amounting to the sum of some thir teen or fourteen millions; but upon the opening of the arbitration at Ge neva, not only do the Americans in sist upon these, as above mentioned, but also upon all “incidental and consequential damages and injuries to persons, growing out of destruction of Merchant vessels; upon all the loss sustained by the transfer of the American Commercial Marine to the British flag, and for the consequen tial prolongation of the war,” which two last items are of most enormous magnitude and sufficient of them selves to bankrupt the Government of England, creating a debt, which, if recognized by the arbitration, would surpass the onerous burden imposed by Prussia upon France, and whieh, in itsamazing magnitude, would exceed anything in all histo ry. To this unexpected and appaling demand the British Government and people indignantly object, the Qneen herself, in her speech before Parliament, declaring that these large claims “ were understood on her part, not to be within the province of the arbitrators,” while Mr. Glad stone openly announces that the spir it of tiie British people will never submit that they shall even be heard. On the other hand, the Republican party, through their leading papers in this country, insist upon the points as submitted to the arbitration ; and although “ dispatches have been re ceived at Washington, urging the ad ministration to withdraw its claims for consequential damages,” and al though it & known that the “ excite ment in England is intense,” yet Secretary Fish is opposed to the withdrawal of any claim, and Gener al Grant himself declares “ that the case as presented by our Government shall not be amended or withdrawn.” We are unable for ourselves to see how the British Government can for a moment submit to the American construction; one which is prepos terous in its terms, and ruinous and dishonoring, if carried out, to the people of Great Britain ; and the up shot of the whole affair will be either that the whole scheme of arbitration will fall through, and the parties be placed in statu quo as before any agreement to arbitrate, or the Amer ican Government will be left to de termine whether she will resign her demands, or rush heedlessly, led on by her blundering Cabinet and thick headed President, into a war with the strongest naval power in the world. We hope for better counsels and a wiser course, but if left to Grant and his immediate counsellors, we can hardly say that we expect it. We think, however, that the voice of our whole people will restrain any such inclination, and that we will after all be saved from a war, even though, it may and will be, at some loss of what little character, as an honest high-minded people, we may be supposed to possess. It is not honorable—nay, it is dishonest —to seek an unjust pecuninary advan tage, even in a private individual, though, technically, a claim might be advanced, when even a child could see that such claim was as highly in equitable as its motive was unjust. It is, however, the nature of the beast, and Yankee all over. We are indebted for many of the views and facts which we have here set forth to two of our able contemporaries, the Columbus Enquirer and Savannah Republican, to whom we make our acknowledgments, and apologize for the length of this article because of the interest which it excites among our people. A lady teacher in an lowa school made a boy stand up and show how he kissed the big girls in the wood shed, in hopes that he would shed tears, and promise to do so no more All the boys are leaving the other schools now and going to this lady teacher. When they call upon a member to pray in Church in Columbus, his friends generally have to wake him up. The whole SUite is familiar with the character of this famous lawyer and judge, remarkable for satire and naturally droll wit, and we venture the assertion that he has orginated more genuine specimens of either than can lie fairly attributed to any other man of his day. Not among the least amusing circumstances, or rather incidents, of his life, is the fol lowing which occurred at Jackson court, in the year 18—, at the dinner table at Witt’s Hotel, in Jefferson. Let us go back a little in order that you may understand the story. Gen eral Harden, one of the most genial gentlemen in Georgia, and a favorite with all his acquaintances, and who himself was the very soul of wit, had then lately moved from Savan nah to Athens, and become a member of the bar of the Western Circuit. Some years prior to this time, he had visited Europe and on his return home of course had much to say of the things he had seen and heard, both amusing and instructive, to his acquaintances. Always ready and agreeable in conversation, he was of course a prominent talker and was always welcome by his fellows of the bar. There lived at this time, also, in Madison county, Gabriel Nash, as clever a fellow as ever breathed, full of fun and anecdote, quaint in his manners; not among the ablest of his brethren as one learned in the law, but one of the most dangerous advocates in the Circuit before a jury, and who by the way was a great fa vorite among the gentlemen of the green bag and universally popular, and especially heldin particular friendly regard by Judge Underwood. Jackson Court was in session, and the lawyers from the adjacent coun ties and some from a distance were in attendance upon the court. There were the Doughertys, Chas. and Bob, Judge Clayton, Judge Harris, Tom Foster, Ililiyer, Mitchell, and many others, and among them, Judge Un derwood, General Harden and Nash. The hour for dinner had arrived, and they were all seated on either side of the long dining table partaking of the famous good cheer always fur nished by the host, himself one of the fraternity. At one end of the table sat General Harden, with many oth ers, with whom he was conversing, while paying his respects to the well loaded board ; while up at the other end, Judge Underwood, and across and directly facing him, Gabriel Nash, the redoubtable advocate from Madison. General Harden had but lately moved to the up country, and was personally but little aeqainted with many of the bar, and knew but little of the peculiarities of Judge Underwood. Harden was talking freely, and of his visit to Europe ; and among the many things which came under his observation there, stated that he met with a man in Paris, at the house where he sojourned, who had a most elaborate wardrobe, and among other things, had in it as a part of his ordi nary apparel, six dozen shirts. Judge Underwood, at the other end of the table some twenty feet distant, hear ing the remark ceased for a moment from his eating and leaning over the table, with his head bent down and looking in the direction of the other, spoke out in a loud voice, of course so as to be heard by every one in the room, in his peculiar emphatic man ner : “ I say, General Harden, how many shirts did you say that man in Paris had in his wardrobe?” “ Six dozen,” said the General. Underwood ate on fora little while, then laying down his knife and fork, said, leaning over as before and in terrupting the General in his conver sation : “ I say, General Harden, how many shirts did you say that man in Paris had in his wardrobe ?” “ Six dozen,” said the General, a little surprised at the repetition of the question. Resuming Ins knife and fork for a little while, he soon laid them down again, and leaning over the table called out as before: “I say, General Harden, how many shirts did you say that man in Paris had in his wardrobe?” “ Six dozen, sir,” said the General, indignant at this very apparent effort to throw discredit on the statement which he made. Almost furious at this, to him, evident impeachment of his veracity, the gentlemen sitting near him were scarcely able to re strain him in ids rage from making an immediate attack on the Judge and there at once defending his honor. “ Six dozen,” said Judge Under wood ; “ six dozen, six dozen.” “ Ga briel Nash,” said he, looking right across the table at Nash, “ Gabriel Nash, do you believe there are that many shirts in the county of Mad ison?” It now became Nash’s turn to be enraged. Here was a direct attack upon the respectability of his county. He knew her people were poor, and she was rather in the backwoods, but to be assailed in this way and to be held up as naked savages, “he be d —d if he’d stand it!” If Harden was angry, Nash was furious; if Harden had to be persuaded at one end of the table, Nash had to be held at the other. But if they were be side themselves in their eager desire to avenge themselves, every body else was in a roar of laughter. The jest was too good, not soon to be seen, Harden laid aside all idea of “ Pistols and coffee for two,” and Nash joined at once and the heartiest of all in the loud peal of merriment which rang along the walls of the old dining room. Until the day that death divided them, they were, from that hour, warm and earnest friends. THE GREAT WESTERN CANAL. Messrs. Editors : As the people of Georgia are more interested as to what will benefit themselves than that of any other section, we will look at some of the effects likely to result from this improvement to the citizens of Georgia. From the most reliable sources of information it appears that almost the whole line of this canal from the Tennessee river to the Atlantic coast will probably be within the limits of our State, and that the outlay of cap ital from the first to the last will not be less than thirty millions of dollars within the next few years. This influx of means must give a new impetus to agricultural and me chanical pursuits, and more or less to every kind of business along the en tire line of the improvement. This stimulus to trade and business will The 'work will be completed in the shortest time possible, and then new villages and towns will spring up along the lino and form new centers of trade and hasiness, the greater portion of the freight charges will be less than one-third of the present rates. Every purchaser of pro vision, coal, etc., will experience a relief that is easier imagined than described. Railroad monopolies will not then extort exhorbitant charges near the canal, for that will be free alike for all to use upon the payment of a nominal toll. A few poor men with a horse apiece can u.dte their means and purchase or buikl a boat, hitch their horses to it, and take produce to market or bring in supplies, or trade from end to end of the canal. The highest freight charges on canals rarely exceed four or five mills per ton, per mile, while railroad charges range from fifteen to thirty or forty, being from three to ten times the charges by canal. This canal when completed is des tined to carry more freight than the great Erie canal, which carries more tonage in seven months of the year than four double-track railroads do in twelve months. This canal through Georgia would not often if ever be closed with ice. Compare this, if you can , with the Erie, which was closed in November, with two millions of bushels of grain en route to market, and most of it to remain there till May. We think we have to labor under great disadvantage here, but what would we think if we had no better outlet to market than the northwest has, but they will not long have to endure this state of things. Chicago will send a portion of her trade through Chicago and the lakes. This change in the course of trade will produce many other changes that it is impossible now to imagine. Di rect trade to Europe from the mouth of this canal will be one of the neces sary consequences, and the countless millions of wealth that has been pour ing into New York, and all along her lines of improvements, will in part be turned to Georgia and other Southern States. Manufactures will no longer be confined to the Eastern States, but skill, energy, and capital will be attracted here. Georgia will then not only make cotton, but will reap some of the profits. Along our rivers of unsurpassed water-power will be found not only ten thousand spindles and looms, but all necessary agricultural and mechanical imple ments, made on our own soil, and the profits arising therefrom to re main amongst us. These results, to a greater or less extent, will certainly follow the opening of this line of trade, and throughout the length of the canal, from one hun dred miles at least, on either side, will be gathered all the surplus pro duction made by our people, and we may expect thrift, and independence will be enjoyed by the people to a greater extent than hitherto. We will not pursue this thought now, but will, if circumstances per mit, look at tho' importance of the work to others. A Georgian. PUBLIC SCHOOLS. An Interesting letter from the State School Commissioner—The Law in Regard to Public Schools. From the Atlanta Constitution.] Permit me through your columns, to give, as briefly as possible, certain information. Ist, to those interested in public schools to be inaugurated for the year 1872, and 2d, to those who have rendered service the past year and are still unpaid. First, as to the schools for the pres ent year. Under the amended school law, no school can be establishad in any county until the fall term of the Superior Court for that county. The only school officers for the county, un de/the law, will be the County Board, to be composed of five freeholders, and the County Commissioners, chosen by them either from their own number, or from the citizens of the county. The Grand Jury, at its first session after the passage of the law, (sec. 15,) is to choose this Board, and it is made the duty of the Board (sec. 19) to “ make an estimate of the amount nec essary, in addition to what will be re ceived from the State, to carry on said schools for at least six months in the year, which estimate shall be placed before the Grand Jury at its next ses sion, and said Grand Jury may, if they approve said estimate, authorize the Ordinary or County Commissioner in such county to levy a county tax sufficient to raise the required sum.” Thus it is clear no county tax can be levied till the hill term of the court; and section 30th, provides that “in case the Board of education of any county shall fail to make the necessa ry provisions for continuing the schools in operation the length of time herein required, (six months, or in the case of ambulatory schools, three months—Com.,) such as graded or high schools and primary schools, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to any portion of the school fund arising from the State tax during the next succeeding school year or subsequent school years, until the establishment of such school or schools, but such fund shall remain in the treasury of Georgia.” This last quotation seems to establish it as the policy of the law to pay over to no county her pro rata part of the State fund, till the consti tuted authorities levy the necessary countv tax. It is clear, then, that no schools can be established till the sec ond term of the court, and not then without the Grand Jury shall author ize the levy of the necessary tax. I would, therefore, recommend teach ers to open private schools upon their own terms for the first half of the year. 2. As to the compensation for services rendered by teachers and others the past year, it will be seen from the copy of the law, which has been gen erally distributed among the school officers, that section 4th of the act ap proved 20th of January, 1872, author izes the Governor to draw his war rant on the Treasurer in favor of the State School Commissioner for the sum of three hundred thousand dol dars to be paid out of the funds then in the Treasury appropriated by law to the public school system ; and if said sum is insufficient to pay the debt now due to the officers and teachers of the public schools, section sth pro vides that the amount shall be raised by a sale of bonds now in the Treasu ry of the State under act of July 16th, 1870. It is impossible for me to tell at what time this money will be ready for distribution for several rea sons* In the first place there is great uncertainty as to what amount is due the school fund and it is impossible to ascertain at present what portion of this is now in the treasury. Sec ond, A provision to the section in ref erence to the sale of bonds says that they shall not be sold at rates injuri ous'to the credit of the State, to be left to the discretion of the Governor. Third, Another proviso requires the money to be distributed in the pro portion of the children of each county entitled to the privileges of the pub lic schools, and there are thirty coun ties in the State that have not made full returns as to the number of chil dren so entitled. Just as soon as the necessary steps can be taken to real ize the money in a manner which shall accord with the provisions of the law, it will be done, and the par ties interested shall receive the proper official notice from this department.
