Ed. A eg' Reading matter cm every page Georgia Cities and Towns.-- The oensos of Georgia taken in 1870, under the direction of the Federal au thorities, has been made public.— There are only four cities in the State with over 10,<nw inhabitants, viz: Savannah, with 28,236; Atlanta, with Augusta, with 15,389; and Ma con, with 12,314; Columbus comes next, with 7,400: then Athens, with 4,231 ; Gridin, with 3,421 ; Amerieus, with 3,259; Milledgeville, with 2,730; Rome, with 2,748 ; Brunswick, with 2,348; Cartersville, with 2,232; Alba ny, with 2,101 ; and LaGrange, with 2,058. The towns with less than 2,000 and more than 1,000 population are: Nevvnan 1,917; Marietta 1,888; Gal lon 1,809; Thomasville 1,667; Wash ington 1,606; Forsyth 1,510; West Point 1,405; Bain bridge 1,851; Fort Valley 1,333; and Gainesville 1,0.58. —Macon Telegraph. From the above it will be seen that Cartersville, at time of taking the census in IK7O, numbered the twelvth town in tiie State in point of popula tion, which lias been ever since, and is still, increasing, and never more rapidly than at the present. We can safely estimate it now at what Rome was then—2,76o. This is tolerable fair progression for a village of 600 inhabitants to have made since 1866; especially taking into consideration the fact that it was reduced to a heap of debris and ashes, during the war, by Kherman’s torches, and the sur rounding country completely devas tated. Bhe is no city, still. Atlanta, March 30. —Colonel N. J. Hammond, Supreme Court Reporter, has been appointed Attorney General of the State by the Governor. The Trustees of the University of Georgia met here to-day, and organ ized the Agricultural and Mechanical College to be connected with the university, and elected a president and faculty, in accordance with the Act of Congress, 1862, donating lands to the States, Governor Smith has appropriated the whole of the land script fund to it. The college goes into operation in May next. Gridin, through her press, has fired an emphatic note of disapproval of Governor Smith’s action indisposing of the Agricultural Land Scrip. Grif fin hoped to get it. She was there fore interested. 1 lence her disappro val. Milledgeville, Marietta, and Dah lonega were each eager suitors for the coveted and valuable prize. Self-in terest and deep disappointment will prompt the people and press of these localities to disapproval. This will be enough to make a lively fusilade of hostile criticism. — Atlanta Consti tution. Till: NATIONAL DEMOGMJC CONVENTION. New York, March 28.—A Wash ington special to the Herald says August Belmont, Chairman of the National Democratic Committee, held an informal political caucus yesterday with forty politicians of both Houses present. The feeling is unmistakable against calling or locating the con vention until utter trie vnicimnm Convention. Coalition then depends upon the strength they show, and must not involve a number of Dem ocratic principles. The caucus advised that no Democrats participate in the Cincinnati Convention. The caucus showed less disposition to indorse Judge Davis than was expected. Columbia, March 29.—TheColored State Convention met to-day, and ap pointed Secretary of tiie State Cardoza, State Senator Nash, Lieutenant-Gov ernor Ransier, Congressman Elliott, Thomas Frost and W. J. McKinlay, delegates to tiie National Colored Convention at New Orleans. A delegate declared that the New’ Orleans Convention must demand of the Republican party that a colored man be put in the National Cabinet. Only one-third of the State was rep resented. The proceedings were noi sy. Major Campbell Wallace. — This distinguished railroad man lias sold his property in Marietta, and settled permanently in Atlanta.

Induced by the very complimenta ry notices marie by a portion of the press of the above work, we took the book and read it. It cornea under the denomination of the Sensational, and while here and there all through the work there are many just and proper and moral and religious sentiments, yet the story itself in all its main fea tures, and the moral effect which it is calculated to produce, we think de cidedly bad. It is simply a love sto ry —a passionate attachment, if not an intrigue between a married woman and her lover, unnatural, inconsist ent, and revolting, and in our judg ment making up such a story as is unworthy the commendations which have tK-en given it. We have noth ing to say of the style which is in the main good, but doubt capitally the moral effect which such a publication is calculated to produce. While the Ijook condemns the actors in the dra ma presented, and holds their conduct unendorsed, yet it claims excuses for the improprieties of the heroine, and in the close teaches, that a woman false in heart to the marriage vows and wifely life, may after a very won der of devotion to the guilty object of her passion following him even to the dungeon and his death, be yet enti tled to and receive the forgiveness of an outraged husband, unrepenting of her crime, though acknowledging her guilt, lie pardoned of God, and enti tled to our sympathy. We learn that it has already reach ed its 4th Edition, and doubtless will for a while have a large reading, more the result of the curiosity of the public than any particular merit of the work. It may have a day, but only a short one in which to live, it will die soon and be forgotten. ALUMNI MEETING AT MACON. We are in receipt of the address of the Hon. James A. Nisbet before the alumni at Macon, in the interest of the University of Georgia. It is, as was expected, like every production of this distinguished gentleman, able and finished, and we regret that it is not in our power to lay it before our readers. After a glowing and just : eulogy upon the character of the Southern people and her past civili zation, as evinced by her illustrious men, Washington, Jefferson, Mar shall, Madison, and Monroe, and their pure and glorious administration of the Government, leaving behind them a record glorious for all time, he urges that the best and most prop er and indispensable mode of perpet uating this type of civilization is, “ that we must educate our children at home,” by building seminaries of learning, with good and ample en dowments. This, then, will open the door for bringing a broad and liberal education within the reach of all classes, at the same time insisting upon “making college education more practical, extended and cheap, and thus it will be popularized.” Another idea, which is becoming more apparent every year, and upon which the speaker eloquently insists, as i ailing loudly for reform, is that “ our uidversitios as well as our col leges, are nurseries of children rather than men,” a fault attributable not only to parents and guardians, but also to the curators of the university. Hot-bed education, be says, under the idea of getting sons and wards to work is the rage, but a great mistake, and urges that these boys he “ put to work before they are sent to college, and then when they will be blessed with constitu tions and mental vigor to grasp with appreciative study, the secrets of science, and the beautiful things of art.” We “must gather into our classes more muscle, age and maturi ty.” Another reform loudly called for is the expenses at the University , which “ being from S6OO to SI,OOO per year forever seals up the University against the sons of the masses, con fining the students to the wealthy classes of society,” and to the end that all this may be overcome, and education be made “free to all, be el oquently asks that “ public sentiment be aroused and concentrated that the Legislature may endorse a system that will embrace a noble University, all the colleges that are now or may hereafter be organized, as also com mon schools in every county. This idea he powerfully presses upon his audience, urging its adoption as full of blessing to the State, which would acquire and retain in time the favor and attachment of the people, the benefactions of the Legislature, lega cies from capitalists, and support from all quarters; and that so far from in creasing it would soon relieve the burden of the people, by bringing in to being the mind and talent of the State in all the various branches of art and science. But we cannot fol low’ the gentleman further in this elo quent and able address, after calling attention to the necessity of putting in the Board of Trustees more of the Alumni, who, able and attached by education and old memories and strong filial love to their Alma Mater, have in a great measure been over looked, and others, strangers to the institution, and who in some instan ces have proven hostile to it, have been placed as guardians of her inter ests; and giving us eloquent exam ples of distinguished men, who, going out from the halls of old Franklin have proven benefactors of the race, and gained a worthy world-wide re nown, he concludes this beautiful, sensible and able address with its be. ginning thought, that “ Southern civ ilization must, in its highest type, be nurtured and perpetuated by educat ing our children at home.” We can not too strongly commend this ad dress of this finished gentleman to the public. Daniel S. Printup, Agent, etc., vs. The Cherokee Railroad Company. Injunction, from Bartow'. McCAY, J. The State of Georgia cannot be made a party defendant in a suit in any court except by consent of the proper authorities, nor can this be done so as to affect the rights of the State by making the agent of the State appointed by its authorities a party, and any judgment against such agent cannot affect the rights of the State or affect its position. Judgment reversed. Printup & Fouche, for plaintiff in error. A Johnson, W. T. Wofford, contra.

MESSRS* Editors :—lf any are op posed to instrumental music in church service, and want light on the subject, let them read a very interesting arti cle in the January number of the “ Southern Review” on “ The Praise of God in song.” The at cicle referred to ia a review’ ofThe Service of Song” by Rev. A. G. Stacy, and among other things dis cusses “ Instrumental music in church service.” As to the lawfulness of in strumental music in church, the fol lowing passages of scripture are giv en : “ And he (Hezekiah, the best of K»ngs) set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with psalte ries. and with harps, according to the eoiDinandiEent of David, and of Gad, the King’s seer, and Nathaa the Pi ophet: /or so teas the commandment of the Lord by his prophets .” (2 Chron., xxix, 25.) Again: “ When David was old and feeble of days * * * * four thousand praised the Lord with their instruments which I made, said Da vid, to praise therewith. And David divided them into courses.” “ Christ and his Apostles,” says the P. 3 viewer, “were silent in regard to musical instruments in the church. Inasmuch, then, as it was not a typi cal ceremony that passed aw r ay at the beginning of the New’ Testament dis pensation, arid inasmuch as there is much in the Old Testament in favor of it, and nothing in the Evangelists and A {jostles against it, we infer that it is lawful, Ac.” As to the expediency of using instru mental music in church service, it is almost wonderful that any one know ing the great pow er of music, and es pecially instrumental music, should at all question. And yet it is true that some very good people have ob jected to it, Adam Clark among them. But on the other hand, John Wesley, a greater man than Adam Clark, was not opposed to it; and Marlin Lu ther, a greater man than Clark or Wesley, was in favor of it, even pas sionately so. “ The hand of the Lord came upon Elisha, and heprophysied, when the minstrels played And we are also told that “the evil spirit was driven away from Saul by David’s harp.” Again, when every burden is Jc» and down, w’hen the Christian has crossed over the beautiful river that flows fast by the throne of God, and shall join the celestial choir “ Where the ea'nis of all ages in harmony meet,” it is promised not only that “ anew song shall be put in his mouth,” but also “ that anew harp shall be put in b ; s hand.” Os the divine power of music the following incident in the life of Lu ther, is a good example. It was at that cosmic moment in the world’s history when Luther was about to set out for Worms ; at that moment all the hopes of humanity hung resolution of one man ; happily for the world that man was Martin Lu ther. But even the sublime resolve of Luther was shaken, and he was just about to abandon it, when Melancthon went and brought him his flute. The music reassured him; when he laid the flute aside, it was only to take up his hat and set out for the great court at Worms. It is not too much to say that the reforma tion, and even the church, owes more to Luther’s flute than to the “ thirty years war” and all the Thological works ever written. BJott »■* ■oimspnao vs thought I know of nothing more sub lime than the notes of a great organ, or better calculated to elevate and en noble ike heart; who could think a mean thought in an atmosphere of sublimity, breathing its very essence ? Who does not feel at such a moment that all the Godlike is not dead with in him, that there is yet a link that connects him with the Infinite? Again, and special attention is called to this, it sometimes happens that there is but a single individual in a congregation who is opposed to in strumental church music ; all admit that it is lawful, for on this point the Bible is conclusive, and all but one are persuaded of its expediency; now in such ease does it not become this one to think very seriously before imposing his will upon the church? Nay, does it not become necessary to ask himself if it is not absolutely un christian to do so ? It is a question of pure expediency; and in this view of the case, let him compare the yield ing spirit of other members with bis own assumed infallibility, and ask himself which is the more in accord ance with the divine teaching of our Lord. Instrumental music is not to prevent congregational singing, but is rather a powerful auxiliary. Again, the power of music acts directly upon the spiritual being; and music is the highest exponent of spiritual feel.ng; thus far instrumental music is the highest and most perfect invention of man for expressing his spiritual emo tions. It then becomes a question of no little importance; ought not Dus highest medium of expression of our spiritual emotions to be used in the praises of the Creator ? To be sure all praise is in the heart; but “ let your light shine;” this praise must find expression ; is it not due to the Crea tor that it find its highest expression, viz: through instrumental music? W. D. T. (COMMUNICATED.) Messrs. Editor: I d>d not in tend in my communication of last w r eek to convey the idea that Thos. W. Dodd knew the fi fa proceeding in my name was transferred. I sim ply intended to convey the idea that such was the fact and had not been stated. I am, <fcc., D. W. K. Peacock. A correspondent of the Savannah News, writes from Atlanta to that paper, as follow's: There is a general disposition on the part of the volunteer companies in the State to reorganize their several com mands. In consequence of this desire, application was made by Gov. Smith at Washington for information as to the action of Congress, and the pioba bility of procuring arms, Ac. It ap peal's by a letter received from Gen eral Young, member of Congress from this district, that the amount of mon ey now' to the credit of Georgia is $21,478 45, and that the Governor can take up this amount in any kind of arms and ordinance stores he may de sire. The arms and stores will be de livered at Government expense at any point the Governor may designate. The price of the several kinds of arms varies from $9 CO to $24 72 per gun. It will require some time to procure the arms and stores, and to distribute them among the several companies. The Herald correspondent has es caped from the North Carolina out laws. He reports the death of Henry Berry Low ry and Boss Strong. .ror the Standard * Express. THE CREDIT MANIA. What are the people to do? Can they prosper with the present credit system ? These are grave questions asked simply. Two men out of three living in the country will, if offered to them, accept credit for aimed any thing. They should keep their eyes open to their own business, or they will get humbugged nine times out of ten. Not more than two years ago, two men traveling with a wagon through this country bought a great many feathers at half price, representing they would soon return with new feathers which they would sell at the same priee to the same parties. They did not return, consequently shucks and straw was resorted to for beds. This were a heavy slam on the women. Again, came last year an agent for a nursery up North, who engaged over four thousand dollars worth of fruit trees in this county, on six months credit. The trees did not ar rive until the end of six months, when the money had to go. How many would he have sold if he had carried the trees with him and de manded cash ? Wagons of the Lightning Rod Company have traversed the county. Three-fourths of the dwellings are now considered safe from danger by lightning, when if cash had been re quired, not one in ten would have been so considered. But the cash has to come after awhile. The sewing machine agent, with his buggy and machine, is traveling too, requiring only monthly pay ments. The man with stoves has his red wagon offering stoves at your door on twelve months time. He, like the sewing machine agent, talks to the woman. She needs them, her husband has good credit, does not require money. Yes he does, after awhile. Guano, Guano, is the cry. Noth ing to do but to go to the railroad and sign your name. Fair terms are of fered you to pay for it when your cotton is made. There is a chance you will make your cotton and there is a chance you will not. Y r ou are sure to make enough to pay for the guano. My advice to all laborers is, to pay as you go. If you are not able to pay cash, you are not able to get credit. There is a profit made on your credit. My firm belief is that the present credit system will bankrupt or will keep the creditors nose always to the grindstone. I could add much to this, but for bear intruding on your valuable space. I have cut this now down so I fear my real ideas will not be pos sessed as they might. * * * Bank of Little River,) Cherokee county.} OBITUARY. Again has the resistless monster, with its cold and iron grasp, visited our community, and found its victim in our esteemed friend Edward B. Coalson, who departed this life on 16th, ult. Age 48 years, 1 month and 4 days, Mr. Coalson came from Brooks county and settled among us last July, and fell a victim to catarrh le ver which proved fatal to his mor tality. He was highly esteemed and beloved by all wlio knew him. Tho’ his stay was short among us, it was long enough to prove his worthiness as a citizen an and his devoted ness as a Christian. He was a member of the day of his death, and we believe died in the same faith that had char acterized his life, and while we deep ly sympathize with his bereaved widow and orphans, we can comfort them by these soothing w ords, “ Sor row not as those that have no hope.” The very same body that was in terred in Cartersville Cemetery will be brought back again in the like ness of “ His glorious body,” and that mortality will be clothed with a blessed immortality and crowned with crowns of glory and Honor. Mr. Coalson had not escaped the scourges of this mortal life. The un welcome visitor had invaded his household and borne away two of his tender ones, a loving son of nine teen and a sweet little daughter of two years of age. Thus w r e see he had felt the chastening rod of our kind Father, but we hope he w r as submissive as we all should be, and we hope the irrecoverable loss of his family is his eternal gain. He leaves to mourn their loss, a widow, four sons, five daughters, who have our prayers and best washes. While in the tomb our father l : es, llis spirit dwells above the sk'es; tu ret.l.n: of endless day it lives, And pra- ;es to our God it gives, Aiorud hii bril'iant tin-one in joy, Ilis iladv solids and notes emptay, And in that holv state may we His f- lends and orphans one day see. E. S. V. B. DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THE CASE OF HUMPHREYS, DE LIVERED IN ATLANTA, April 1, 1873. Joseph M. Humphreys vs. The State. Murder, lrom Bartow'. WARNER, C. J. The defendant was indicted for the crime of murder and found guilty by the jury. A motion was made for a new trial, which w 7 as overruled by the court, and the defendant except ed. There was no error in the charge of the court in relation to the insani ty of the defendant, according to the repeated rulings of this Court. In our judgment, the weight of the evi dence contained in the record was in favor of the sanity of the defendant. Although there may have been an error in the charge of the court as to the assault of the deceased upon the defendant (there being no evidence of any such assault) still, that error would not be sufficient to set aside the verdict, in view of the facts of the case. The theory of the defendant’s counsel is, that the defendant was jealous of his wife, and knowing that Kitchens was in the house of his father-in-law, where his wife was stopping, intended to shoot him. and, by mistake shot his son, and was therefore guilty of manslaughter only; that he acted from a sudden impulse of passion arising from jeal ously of his wife. There is no evi dence of any improper intimacy be tween Kitchens and defendant’s wile at any time which would authorize the defendant to be jealous of him. The family were all sleeping on the floor in the only room of the house (being poor people) when the de fendant, about daylight, pointed his gun through the window _ and shot his son w ho w’as covered with a quilt. It is true Kitchens was there also, sleeping on the floor with the rest of the family of Burgess, six or eight feet from defendant’s w ife, her father, mother, and son. being in the same room. After reviewing the evidence in tills ease, and the charge of the court to the jury, our judgment is. that there is no error in the record which will authorize this Court to in terfere and set aside their verdict. Let the judgment of the court below be affirmed. W. H. Dabney, R. W. Murphy, J. C. Branson, for plaintiff in error. C. E. Broyles, Solicitor General, contra.
