A number of tan-colored Griffinites will “’bate a’ ’portant question,” with a similar number of similar colored Newn unites in Newnan, on that day. When the colored debators get to the high pitch, back seats will be prefer able to all whose nasal organs are at all sensitive. PoORGREELEY.-The Tliomaston Herald, the Franklin New* Md El berton Gazette are all Gree ley. Wonder if the Bamamlle &a ; Ktte will help to smu him “to office. The action of the Richmond coun ty Democracy in convention, assem ble! at Augusta, resulting in a recom mendation to support the Greeley ticket by a unanimous vote, we con sider as strongly indicative of the feelings in the ranks of the party throughout the State. The Hon. Linton Stephens, who, in the main, coincides in political opinion with his brother, A. 11. Stephens, w&s present and addressed the meeting, strongly protesting against the pro priety of endorsing the Cincinnati nominees. The meeting gave him an attentive and respectful hearing, hut without hesitation adopted the resolutions reported by their com mittee unanimously, in substance endowing the nomination at Cincin nati ; thus firing the first gun in Georgia in behalf of Greeley and Brown. Several gentlemen address ed the meeting advocating this poli cy, among whom were Gen. A. It. Wright and the Hon. 11. W. Hil liard. We are not surprised at this result, which has for some time been foreshadowed by the Constitutional ist and Chronicle, papers published at Augusta; and we shall not be far wrong in saying that it is hut the course which will be adopted by the entire party of the State, w ith here and there a few exceptions. So de cided is the opinion of the Constitu tionalist as to the propriety of the Liberal Republican alliance, that it declares “we thoroughly believe it will be the highest wisdom for the Georgia Convention to send dele gates to Baltimore, instructed to vote for the nomination of Greeley and Brown us the candidates best calcu lated to defeat the party in power and that “there are thousands in Georgia who think so as thoroughly as does the writer, and the number is ! daily increasing.” The opinion so j frankly and decidedly expressed we feel authorized to say would meet with a hearty response from the en tire Democracy of Bartow county and j the Cherokee region, for while we are j altogether disposed to abide by the nomination of the Baltimore Con vention, whatever it may be, if made in good faith and fairly, yet public opinion fully concurs with the Con stitutionalist in the propriety of not only making no Democratic nomina tion at Baltimore but upon the ne cessity which is upon us of adopting the ticket put out by the Liberal Convention. The people here are for Greeley and Brown, and should Baltimore decline giving them as candidates for Democratic support, they will be disappointed. For a more particular representation of the county on the subject, we refer to their action at a public meeting held in the Court House on Tuesday last. From all quarters, north, south, east and west, comes intelligence favoring the course on the part of the Balti more Convention, and if the late statement that Belmont, Chairman of the National Democratic Commit tee, has at last emphatically advised it as the thing most proper for us now to do, we take it that before that body shall meet all dissentient opin ions will give way and this policy will be the avowed policy of the party in the coming campaign. We regret to see any want of harmony in our ranks, and trust that all shades of opinion in the party will agree to disagree, and if as is now be lieved, Mr. Greely will be the accept ed nominee at Baltimore, all clash ing and differences will be laid aside for this once, for the sake of the good cause, and that as one man the De mocracy of Georgia will put forth its undivided strength in favor of the nomination. “ A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together,” and all will be well. Athens, Ga., June 2d, 1872. Standard <{• Express: —This place does not look as it did in days lang syne. You do not see the faces of old; not many of them at least. The law offices are filled with new men; and, it might be added without disparage ment, that the new are not the equals of the old. “ There were giants in those days.” At one time Athens could boast the ablest bar in Georgia. It is now up held by a* very promising class of young men, who may or may not rise to eminence. The trade from the mountain counties, which formerly came here from Jackson county, Georgia, to Franklin, North Caroli na, now finds a market nearer home. Gainesville and Atlanta are getting most of it. It is said the local trade has increased, so Athens does not miss what has been cut olf, as much as might be supposed. All together, there is not any tliiug like the life here as there is in Cartersville. But for the Colleges the ominous words “To Rent” would be placard ed upon most of the houses in Athens. Ana speaking of the Univesity, it seems as prosperous as could be ex pected, when it is taken into consid eration our people are poor, and the institution is dependent upon the lo cal patronage, There are some 150 young men in attendance upon the University proper, and something over 70 connected with the new Agri cultural College. And speaking of the latter reminds me that the people here are very much in love with Gov. Smith ’for appropriating the Land Scrip to the University, and very much afraid the Legislature will interfere with it. Alfred Richard son, one of the colored representa tives, died not a great while ago, and to-day the Democracy met and nomi nated a Dr. Durham, as a candidate to till the vacancy. It is said he will be elected. Os course the ebony and mahogany voters of the county will run a man and a brndder. The sheriff of Oglethorpe county, day before yesterday, enjoyed the pastime of hanging a negro, who had been sentenced to that penalty in pur suance of law, It seems that this ne gro had merely exercised his privile ges as anew born freeman, and bhot dead, without provocation, one of his fellows. No use to be free unless one is allowed to do as freemen do. You will remember that our county man, Ben Latimer, could not be made to understand the impartiality of the law that imprisoned him For “not working,” when Col. Harris and Dr. Clayton were allowed to go without molestation. I find some of our county people here; among others I met our young friends, Robert Tripp, John Wil liams and young Mr, Padgett, who are at the College. Their manners clearly indicate they are £ober, indus trious, and attentive to their studies. Our friend W. W. Milam is also here, tripping the light, fantastic toe, and teaching others to go and do likewise. When I meet my friend I can’t help thinking we make our living by using opposite extremities. But the purpose of life is a support with at tendant pleasures, and what’s the matter, whether it comes of the head or the feet ? (Tops look fair—farmers in pretty good spirits.

FANNIN AM) UNION. NoTl. J Ousts. Editors: Allow me space in your excellent paper to in\ ite in creased attention to a work of first importance to every citizen of (_ar tersville, and to all the citizens of the country which we propose to aid. I allude to the necessity resting upon our community, and now recognized, —superinduced by mutually result ing benefits, to more promptly attend to the requirements of the hour, and at once inaugurate the construction of a railroad from Cartersville to El lijay; thence, eventually, to the Ducktown Copper Mines. Four months past, my attention as a railroadman, in common with other citizens, has been drawn to an investigation of resources of the fa vored region of country proposed to be penetrated by a line of road from Cartersville, via Fairmount and Car ter’s Quarter, to Ell ijay, thence, eventually, to the Duck Town Cop per Mines. The line of road contem plated in affording transportation, unlocks and brings to Cartersville al most the entire traffic and travel of this, among the most favored, sections of our whole State. Here lies a wide and extended scope of country em bracing several counties North and East of us, abounding in natural wealth ; rich, in a large sense, in the products of the soil—cotton, corn and wheat; rich in the products of the orchard; rich in the products of the dairy, the stock farm, and the poul try yard; marvelously rich in the pro ducts of the mines, the quarries, and the forests, as also in innumerable and commanding water powers; health, water and climate all suited in an eminent degree to the life of man—and yet this most favored re gion is to-day comparatively locked up for lack of railway facilities af fording cheap transportation to its varied and valuable products, thus remote from the highways and thoroughfares of commerce and trav el, its vast agricultural and mineral wealth is but superficially known over the State at large; really, the smokehouse, the corn crib, the dairy and poultry yard, and many of the flouring mills of Georgia, all, to a large extent, may be located in this highly favored region of country; abounding in fat cattle, hogs and sheep, and all the means of wealth and good living. Uninterrupted and cheap transportation afforded this inviting section of our State and much of dependence for such supplies may be withdrawn from Tennessee and the west, in favor of our own State and our own people. Is this not desirable and should it not be so, since Georgia, by common accord, is recognized as the “ Empire State of the South ?” Remarkable, indeed, isn’t it, that no railroad has been carried into such a country ? Its varied and abundant products, as we all have seen and know, are hauled in carts and wag ons to the towns and villages on the Western & Atlantic Road, to Adairs ville, to Calhoun, to Resacca, to Kingston, to Rome and to Carters ville, while no small percentage of the same is annually hauled in the same manner all the way to Atlanta. Have we not seen from five hundred to a thousand wagons in the streets of Cartersville during a season from the scope of country referred to, haul ing in their products and carrying out their supplies? And yet Car tersville, the natural outlet and mar ket for all the products, and all the trade has not received the one-tenth part of what she will secure by promptly taking the initiative and carrying her railroad to the good people in all this land of Egypt, there to be greeted and welcomed as one bringing unto them glad tidings and precious gifts, and shall we not help liberally and largely those who stand ready to help us in the accomplish ment of an indispenslble work for the interest and great benefit of all concerned. But independent of the abundance of products from agriculture, horti culture, the dairy and stock farm, a railroad should have penetrated years ago to the opening up of the immense wealth of this section in iron, copper, slate, marble and all other ores, min erals and precious metals incident to the vertical eolumn or mineral back bone-extending through all the States from the lakes of the north to the mines of Mexico,—in no locality more accessible, varied and abundant than in the mineral districts of the favored section referred to. Up to the commencement of the late war, and indeed until two or three years since that unpleasantness, the ener gies and resources of the Southern States were almost entirely absorbed in the production of the indiginous staple, to the exclusion of manufac tures and the vast mineral interests of these States. Especially was it so in Georgia and Alabama, where coal and iron abound. Now the wealth and power of the State of Pennsyl vania, through her iron and coal, in connection also with the recent un precedented advance in the price of manufactured iron throughout Eu rope and this country, is inviting in creased attention of manufacturers and capitalists to the superior and more abundant ores of these States; and it is the opinion of many iron masters of the North, some of whom are already making large invest ments in Georgia and Alabama, that the day is not distant when the man ufacture of iron, and the iron trade, will suddenly assume gigantic pro portions in these highly favored States where iron and coal and all the facilities for the manufacturing of iron so largely abound. The inviting country proposed to be penetrated by the railroad in con templetion offers the attraction of un usual variety and inexhaustible quantity of richest iron ores in close position to fluxes, fire-clay and every necessary facility and appliance for the production of all qualities of man ufactured iron, as with the immense iron interest of this favored section ; so with the vast slate and marble quarries, the copper mines, the great lumber interest, the utilization of water-powers, increase of manufac tures, increase also of agricultural, stock, and many other products. In regard to all these sources of revenue to the State, of wealth to individuals, corporations and communities, the controlling consideration and lever of power, is that of certain uninterrupt ed and cheap transportation, which the railroad alone can afford. Hap pily, just now, for the success of this enterprise, our citizens are almost a unit in purpose—more alive to the importance of building this road and building it speedily than any enter prise that could be presented. Well understanding the inducement to in crease of population and capital, pro motion of commercial, manufacturing and all other interests involved, ad vanced and sustained by the pro ducts ; travel, traffic and varied re sources of the rich back country to be penetrated by this railroad, in ad dition to present sources of thrift and prosperity from the rich counties of Bartow, Polk, and other surround ings, and no town or city in our whole State would rest upon a more solid financial basis than our now prosperous and rapidly growing town, or cify as you may please to call it, of the Rto\yali valley. In future numbers of the series in contemplation, data will be given in regard to resources, financiering, lo cation of line, railway construction, class of road and equipments, togeth er with such statistics from the coun ties penetrated as may be interesting to the public. It. A. Crawfokd. The Cork correspondent of the Bos ton Pilot says that more people are now emigrating from Ireland than at any previous time. Not less than 4 thousand leave the country every week, and two thousand go from Queenstown alone. Whole hamlets and villages are left with only the old and decrepit in them, and some cities, such as Limerick, are going to decay. THE GEORGIA PRESS ON THE POLIT ICAL SITUATION.

Editors: —The undersigned Committee, appointed to urge upon the General Assembly the passage of an Immigration Bill, which will give us an increase of labor and capital, will act at an early day. Very respectfully Frank Schaerer, of Clarke, ] C. W. Howard, of Bartow, Com. Edwin D. Newton, of Floyd, J THE DEMOCRACY OF BAR TOW SPEAKS. According to previous notice, the Democratic party of Bartow county met in mass convention at the court house in Cartersville on Tuesday last. On motion Dr. S. W. Leland was called to the chair and Thos. W. Dodd requested, to act as secretary. On motion a committee of nine, one from each militia district, viz: A. P. Wofford, Thos. Tumlin, Hon. John W. Gray, David Stokely, A. Vincent, T. Stephens Dr. Battle, John F. Har din, Monroe Goodson were appointed a committee to report business and delegates to the State convention, to meet on the 20th inst. While the committee were retired, the convention was highly entertained by speeches from Hons. Watt Harris, W. Akin, It. 11. Cannon, It. W. Mur phy and It. A. Crawford. The committee returned and re ported through their chairman, A. P. Wofford, as follows: Resolved, That we have carefully examined the resolutions of the Rich mond county convention, and find them in all respects the views of your committee, believing that the princi ples therein contained cannot be ma terially amended. Resolved, That the reforms most desired by the Democratic party are local self-government, the subordina tion of the military to the civil au thority, the preservation unimpaired of the writ of habeas corpus, and the checking of the centralizing tenden cies of the Federal Government; that all other subjects of political conten tion are insignificant in comparison with these; and that to attain these the Democratic party will accept any other, preserving, however, its own organization. Resolved, That in public, as in pri vate affairs, when we cannot attain all that we desire, it is the part of wis dom to choose the greatest good which is attainable, unless the choice carries with it dishonor. Resolved, That no dictate of prin ciple or of honor, forbids the alliance of the Democratic party with other as sailants of the common enemy, or re quires the Democratic party to prefer certain defeat to partial victory. Resolved, That what we have re tained of civil liberty we owe to the Democratic party; that the split in the Radical party is due to the un creasing warfare of the Democratic party upon the usurpations and cor ruption of the Radical Administra tion ; that with these proofs of its vi tality and power, and with a partial victory in its grasp, it would be guil ty of criminal folly should it disband. It should preserve its own organiza tion independent of all other political parties, and fight under its own ban ner; not disdaining, however, such temporary alliances, dictated by wis dom, and justified by honor, as will secure even a partial triumph, other wise, impossible, of the great princi ples for which it contends. Resolved, That this meeting ap point nine delegates, viz; Col. Lew is Tumlin, Hon. John W. Gray, Hon. David Stokely, Capt. Thos. W. Dodd, Hon. Warren Akin, Col. It. H. Can non, Hon. Watt Harris, It. W. Mur phy, Esq., Capt. A. F. Yv T ooley and Col. It. C. Saxon, to the State conven tion of the Democratic party to as semble at Atlanta, the 26th inst, with no instructions, other than to strive to the utmost to preserve the harmo ny, consistent with the principles of the party, and to aid in the selection of such delegates to the Baltimore convention, as can be trusted to act honorably and wisely for the Demo cratic party of Georgia according to the exigencies of the occasion. Ry Col. R. A. Crawford, it was Resolved, By the Democrats of Bartow county, in mass meeting as sembled, that we indorse the admin istration of His Excellency, J. Milton Smith, as faithful, wise, bold and pa triotic, fully meeting public needs and public expectations. Hon. Watt Harris, in one of his most happy efforts advocated the adoption of the committee’s report, After soine further skirmishing by different Honorable gentlemen, the report was adopted without a dissent ing voice, except two nays on the complimentary resolution to our wor thy Governor. Resolved that the Standard & Express, be requested to publish these resolutipns. S. W. LELAND, Chairman. Thos. W. Dodd, Secretary. June 4th, 1872. Tallahassee, June f.—The Su preme Court, to-day, decided that W. D. Bloxham, the Democratic candi date, was elected Lieutenant-Govern or of Florida by forty-five majority. Judge Harrell, in Terrell Superior Court, charged the Grand Jury that it was a penal offence to sell liquor to a drunken man. See Gov. Smith’s proclamation in another column. Ar> Aißsvir.LE, June Ist, 1872. Messrs. Elitors: Were lan editor, and had 1 the pen of Dickens and one page of your most excellent paper, I might tell your many very intelligent readers what I have seen and heard during the last four nights. I have referred to the closing exer cises of th<? “ Adairsville High School,” under the supervision of Prof. J. L. Milbum, which commenc ed last Tuesday night and ended last night. In my limited time and space I only have room to give a graphic report. The exercises were commenced on Tuesday night by the pupils of the primary department, which is under the personal supervision of that ami able and accomplished teacher, Miss Hattie Fitten. The little fellows lead off admirably. “We littie folks”—Missie Lewis; “ Vacation is coming”—Henry John son ; “ The Reply”—Hattie David son, and “ Tom Thumb” by Bela Milbum deserve especial mention. The little boys and girls didn’t seem to be embarrassed in the least. Miss Hattie watched the little fellows its if her whole soul was in the cause. Wednesday night came the speech es by the young men of the school. The following were delivered in a style becoming statesmen of mature years, showing that Prof. Milburn has been untiring in his efforts to ad vance them in this very important branch of school training. “South Carolina”—Thos. llilburn ; “ The answer”—Chariy Davidson ; The Southern Hero” —Willie Neal; “ Apostrophe to Washington”—Sam Crawford; “ Cataline Denouunced ’ —Bayless Lewis; “ The Lost Cause” —Mart King; “ Demands of the age” —Sam Lumpkin; “Georgia”—Du- Bose Fitten; “The man of the peri od”—W. Venable; “ The great ques tion”—Cliarly G hoist on. The “South ern Hero,” by Willie Neal, was re ceived with great enthusiasm. The mere mention of the name of Gen’l Robt. E. Lee seemed to send a thrill through every heart. Mr. Venable broke down at the zenith of his glory in “ The man of the period,” simply because he caught the eye of one of the young ladies of the school, for whom he has some attacks bordering on “ moon-lightism.” After the speaking, Prof. Milburn announced that “tne roses would bloom on Thursday night.” Thursday night came, and the roses did bloom. The young ladies came out in full force,' neatly dressed in white, and all seemed smiles and beauty. Each one held in her hand a boquet of flowers emblematic of Springtime, innocence and love. It was enough to make the hard heart of any old bachelor feel as if it had been pierced by one of Cupid’s darts. Am sorry to say I didn’t preserve a programme of their compositions, but suffice to say, they all did well. All displayed taste in the selection of sub jects, and the manner in which they handled them. Friday night was the “ gala night” of the whole exercises, being devoted exclusively to Dialogues, Dramas and Compositions. ‘ 1 The modern school, ’ ’ “The Arkansas _traveller,” “The Doctor and Patient,” Betsy Baker,” “ Woman is the Devel,” and “The Bet” were well played, but “The belle of Adairsville” eclipsed every thing. (Os course everybody wanted to see the belle.) When the curtains were raised all eyes were strained to see her, but imagine t heir disappoint ment when they saw all the young ladies of the school standing promis cuously on the stage. But it didn’t stop here. The audience couldn’t see the “ point” until Prof. Milburn step ped forward and exhibited to the au dience a small dinner bell , at the same time giving it a light ring—That did settle it. Thus the exercises closed. Prof. M. in liis usual happy style thanked the audience for their attention and good order, and the patrons of the school for the liberal patronage bestowed up on him. He also announced that the school would open again on29th July next. 1 can’t close this lengthy article without saying that Miss Sue Crouch, the accomplished instructress in the musical department, with her class of students added greatly to the pleasure of the occasion. Among her pupils would mention the names of Misses Joe Milburn, Kate Dixon, Georgia Myers, Patia Bowdoun and Joe Gray, who seemed to take a peculiar inter est in entertaining the audience. Miss Kate rendered “Shoo Fly” and “ Up in a Balloon” to perfection. Nothing occurred to mar the pleas ure of the occasion except a dog fight right among the ladies ot the audience Friday night. Some of the babies were thrown up right high, and Mr. John L. is said to have caught some of them. Something was said of pickpockets but the audience, like myself, didn’t seem to be uneasy. At a late hour we commenced to move off. There was indeed a large audience every night, but the last night every place upon which a foot hold could be had was occupied. The audience was highly entertain ed throughout, and universally pro nounced Prof. Milburn and his school a success —So do I. I won’t say anything about the parting scenes. I noticed on that night, somebody kissed somebody, but I was not a school-boy, hence was not a party in that play. We left a little before midnight to think and dream of what we had seen. I beg respectfully lo thank Mias Hattie for taking care of me through the whole time—four nights. Don’t be alarmed at this as you know it is a leap year , and I am getting - old and blind. In conclusion, should say thatthere is no better place in North Georgia for training the young idea of our country in the way of letters than the “ High School” at this place. More anon. Respectfully, Medicus. [From the Dome Courier. It would be exceedingly pleasant and might be eminently useful for the ladies who have received, their ac ademic and collegiate education in Rome to meet together and renew their early friendships.

Believing that this invitation will be gladly accepted. I have requested the Hon."A. R. Wright to deliver the first address.
