The Boston Post, which has until recently favored a democratic nomi nation for President, has taken strong and unequivocal grounds for Greeley. Governor Pierpont, of West Vir ginia, a delegate to the Philadelphia Convention, withdrew from that Convention to support Greeley. The Augusta Constitutionalist hoists the names of Greeley and Brown, and gives half a column of reasons for so doing.

Beauregard has writ ten a Greeley and Brown letter. Copious showers have fallen in near ly all portions of Georgie, and the average prospect of the corn and cot ton crops is very good. At St. Louis, the 28th ult., the na tional agricultural congress and the agricultural association effected a con solidation, under the name of the na tional agricultural congress, and adopted a provisional constitution, subject to revision after the perma nent organization of the congress. Among the vice-presidents at a great Greeley ratification meeting at New Orleans the 28th ult., were Gen erals Dan Adams, Beauregard, and Harry Hays, and Colonels Walton, Hunt, and Owen, df the late coafod mtu aaoy* RAPICA L CONVENTION. The Radical Convention at Phila delphia, as was expected, nominated Gen. Grunt as candidate for thoPres ency, and did it by acclamation. The nomination was a forgone conclusion, he being the strongest man in their ranks, and perhaps the only one who could prevent the disbanding of the party, which foreshadows, by the discords which prevail in its bosom, and its want of the confidence of the people at large, an existence of not very great duration. Even if suc cessful now, as a party it will inevi tably have accomplished its mission of evil, so fully distasteful to the great body of the American people as to call for its utter overthrow at the end of the next four years; or else by that time the spirit of centralization will have so far succeeded in crushing out the last vestige of liberty, and have the people themselves so entirely sub ject to its authority, as to ask no long er for the endorsement of party, the whole powers of the government under shadow of the law, being vest ed in the hands of one man. Time, however, will be its exponent. A certain Roman Emperor, it is said, fiddled while Rome was burning, he himself being the incendiary, and so after this nomination, the fanatical mass of Radicals, bondholders, pap suckers, and government hangers-on, at Philadelphia, stopj»ed to regale themselves by singing “Old John Brown’s Soul is Marching On,” in which the whole crowd joined most lustily. Every man to bis taste, but verily even the most ignorant of j their supporters at home, it would ; seem to any decent, sensible man, j must lx* disgusted with so unseemly a proceeding, coming from a body j pretending to have in their hands, j the arrangement of the grave affairs of a great Nation ; its clownish little ness and undignified and unworthy character, outside of and apart from the manifest attempt to blow into a fiaine the mouldering ashes of the old quarrel about slavery—an insti tution, which, of Yankee origin, was fastened on the South, and guaran teed by the Constitution of the United States, but swept away by blood and crime, and war, and power, and theft, and all manner of high-handed lawlessness. Amidst this sort of ca rousal, Grant has been nominated for the Presidency, and then alas! for the smiling Colfax, whose smiles, poor gentleman, are now turned to tears. Henry Wilson, the famous Massachusetts cobbler, the fellow who first invented the ingenious process of making a shoe sole out of brown paper, which would so deceive the purchaser as to make him think it was all good leather, thereby making for himself a fortune, and of course a character with his admiring country men of the East, stands up as their chosen candidate for the Vice-Presi dency. Such is their ticket before the people. In another column, on the outside, we publish the platform of principles, if principles they can be called, upon which they go before the American public. * One thing to all Liberal Republicans and good Democrats is observable, the plat form is a a direct and absolute endorse ment of Grant's administration and its objectionable features, not to say anything of its reaching out to get support and voters from men of all shades of opinion ; and if the party is successful in the coming campaign, the country is to expect no relaxation of the tyrranous hand which has been laid upon the people; nay, the past will be only as the weight of a little finger, compared to what we may ex pect in the future. The country has now before it the platforms of the two wings of the Radical party, as also their candidates, and only awaits the action of the Democratic party, at Baltimore, on the 9th of July, be fore the lists will be filled by all the contestants in the Presidential race. So far as we are concerned, we have not hesitated to declare what we be lieve to be the absolute necessity which is upon us, viz: of adopting heartily and cordially the Cincinnati nomination, and giving our undi vided strength to the support of that ticket. We, of course, would prefer by all odds and every consideration, a Democrat for our candidate, but he never could be elected, and defeat would be the result ; and believing that our only possible hope or oppor tunity of overthrowing the present administration and the bad rule of a bail party is now offered us by the Liberals, we strongly believe that we should make no Democratic nom ination at Baltimore, but should then frankly, openly, and plainly declare that in this contest the Democratic party will support Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown, adhering to our organization , and adopting no plat form other than the one which we shall then lay down and publish to the world. We say we think we ought to declare ourselves at Balti more, and let all our people know what is the will of the party in grand council assembled. It will not do, in our judgment, simply to say that we will make no nomination of a Democrat and then leave the matter ; for, in that event, a careless spirit will take hold of many of the voters; thousandsjwould not go to the polls, and many would be left to the in fluence of such as might prefer au adherence to prejudices rather than the evident policy of the hour, and so vote for Grant rather than Greeley, while a very large body of our peo ple, substantial and sensible men, declare that they will vote for Gree ley, nomination or no nomination. To avoid all confusion and to prevent the scattering of the party like par tridges on the mountain, we say, then, let the party at Baltimore declare its intent and its policy, by making no nomination of a straight out Demo crat, but by letting it be plainly and unmistakeably made known that, in this contest, she votes for Greeley, and that all good and true Democrats are expected so to do. At all events, we ask for harmony among our people, in the State Con vention, and especailly at Baltimore, satisfied that so auspicious are the political skies, that if unity and har mony prevail, and the proper policy be pursued, the ides of November will raise a storm, so wild and furious, as shall sweep away the last vestige of the present misrule. Mr. Sumner says he stood by the cradle of the Republican party, but is not willing to follow its hearse. Let him get out of the hack, then, and give us his seat. We would rather attend that funeral than to go to the Boston Jubilee. — Cos wrier- Journal. The Selma Argus, one of the best and truest democratic papers publish ed in the State of Alabama, has hoist <>U the names of Greeley and Brown* EDUCATION. This great interest of Cartersville— or, “ Etowah City,” the name adopt ed in the new charter, now in the hands of our Representatives in the General Assembly—in regard to this vital interest of life, our citizens are aroused, alive; yea, thoroughly en thused in the detenuined purpose to afford every attainable facility to the education of the youthful sons and daughters of Cherokee Georgia. Having witnessed the unprecedent ed and eminent success of the “ Car tersville Female Seminary ” and the “Ryals’ High School,” for the educa tion of the youth of this section, this community is at work, and with most encouraging prospects of complete success. No division, but earnest, harmonious action characterizes the vigorous movement to incorporate and build colleges of high order—both Male and Female —such as shall fully meet all the requirements of Upper Georgia, and, by united effort and co operation, build these college's with the least possible delay. The plan, as we are advised, seems to havel>een well digested by a number of our en terprising citizens. In our issue of to-day, however, we have but space to cite some of the leading features, and to indorse them, intending more of minutia as the enterprise shall ad vance. It is proposed to prepare Acts, and we are advised that the same are now being prepared, asking of the Legislature the passage of Bills incor porating both Institutions —with au thority in each charter to issue first mortgage bonds, in the sum of 815,- 000 to each college, bearing seven per centum annually, the same constitut ing a first mortgage lien on the entire college property, these bonds to be disposed of, first, to the patrons of the College, and made receivable by the Board of Trustees for tuition, and, such excess as there may be over and above the amount demanded for pay ment of tuition, the Board of Trustees shall be authorized to dispose of, or negotiate, as the best interest of the College, and as other mortgage bonds are negotiated, shall induce. Upon this plan we believe the two colleges may be built, and conducted on a j safe and convenient basis. Indeed, j great and appealing as is the necessi- I ty for such Institutions in this section j of our State, such colleges could not be built as individual investments, nor by any plan of common or gene ral subscription—the charities and the generous hand of our people have been taxed to the uttermost in this late desolated track of sanguinary war, yielding as it did its altars and its homes, apples of Sodom, to the re morseless “ Sherman in his march to the Sea.” TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Cartersville, Ga. June 12, 1572. At a meeting of the Bar of Carters vile, Ga., held to-day in the Court- House, Hon. Warren Akin was called to the Chair, and Thos. W. Milner, Esq., requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman explained the object of the meeting to be to take some ap propriate steps towards securing a testimonial of respect from the Bar of the Cherokee Judicial Circuit, to the memory of our J udge and broth er, Jostaii R. Parrott, who de- j parted this life at Montvale Springs, on the 10th of June, 1872. Thos. W. Milner, Esqr., offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That a committee of six be chosen by the Chairman of this meeting from the Bar of the Chero kee Circuit, to submit, at the July adjourned term of the Bartow Supe rior Court, on Monday, the first day of said Court, appropriate resolutions expressive of the feelings occasioned by the death of Judge Josiaii R. Parrott, and of the estimation in which he was held by the Bar of the Cherokee Circuit. The Chair appointed the following named gentlemen members of said Committee: ABDA JOHNSON, DAWS< )N A. WALKER, W. T. WOFFORD, J. A. W. JOHNSON, E. D. GRAHAM, J. C. FAIN. On motion, the Cartersville Stan- j dard & Express, Calhoun Times, and North Georgia Citizen were re spectfully requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting. WARREN AKIN, Chairman. Tiios. W. Milner, Secretary. The Hon. Alfred Huger, of South Carolina, the contemporary of Cal houn, Lowndes, Pinckney, Cheves, j Legare, and other eminent men of j his State of the past generation, died | the 14th ult. He was postmaster at Charleston from 1832 to 1801. Bishop Johns, of the Episcopal dio cese of Virginia, denounces “ that las civious mode of promiscuous dancing styled the round dance—a demoraliz ing dissipation, disgusting to the del icacy of a refined taste, and shocking to the sensibility of a refined mind.” The wife and two daughters of Hor ace Greeley are in London. Mrs. G. is a confirmed invalid; the two daughters, Ida and Gabrielle, are quite charming and pretty, and are much admired. x\ considerable sen sation was produced at a large, fashion able party there, the other evening, when it became rumored that a daughter of Horace Greeley was in the room, and she (Ida) was speedily sought out by the lions present. The House, by a vote of 83 to 73, refused to suspend the rules and pass the civil rights bill recently paased by the Senate. The House also, by a vote of 88 to 56, refused to pass the Senate bill to extend the time for the suspen sion of the writ of habeas corpus. There is an artesian well in Paris which is nearly two thousand feet deep, four feet in diameter at the top and two feet at the bottom, and which discharges up wards of five millions of cubic feet of water every twenty-four hours. Throughout Europe, it is sta ted much attention is being paid by scientific engineers to these kind of wells, and the opinion is rapidly gaining ground that they are the cheapest, ns well as the best, sources of water supply for large cities. Personal. —Gov. Brown has re turned from Rockmart, whither he had gone to inspect personally the un told millions of wealth in Lime, Slate, &c., in that vicinity. He ex pressed himself as not only delighted with what he saw, but filled with as tonishment at the almost inconceiva ble amount of these valuable deposits and other minerals. He desires the Cartersville & Van Wert Railroad fin ished with a broad gauge all the way to Rockmart, and extended beyond thprp gs soon as possible.— Atlanta QmetUvtom. RAILROAD COMMUNICATION WITH THK COINTIES Ol CHEROKEE. PICKENS. GORDON, GILMER. DAW SON. El MI'KIN, FANNIN AND! MON. No. ii. Messrs. Editors: In advocating the building of this road with the view of resulting benefits to our town and the several counties intere>t--1, a< well as the State at large, there is not the slightest desire to disparage any other enterprise of like purpose with like promise of accruing interest. The whole object and aim of an earnest and respected advocacy of this road, is to present fairly, some of the many reasons why it should be built, invit ing practical thinking men among us, through the conn tie- named andelse where, to such recognition of its claims as investigation shall deduce. That this road is needed by the citi zens of all the counties referred to and has a mission to accomplish in which Cartersville, the counties to l>e penetrated by it, the Western <k At lantic Railroad, and the State, has a deep interest, none, it is presumed, will gainsay. Its mission and pur pose is to earn dividends for the stockholder, revenue to the State, promote agriculture, mining, manu facturing and other industries, ad vance trade and traffic, increase pop ulation, add to the value of town and village properties, enhance the val ue of farming lands, mineral lands, water powers, Ac., and at the same time afford convenience and facilities to thousands of industrious and good tax-paying Georgians, who have to travel altogether by private convey ance, burthened, too, with hauling their commodities and products, their machinery, implements and supplies, distances of thirty, forty, fifty, and much thereof a distance of more than a hundred miles to and from Atlan ta. Having incidentally alluded to the Western & Atlantic Railroad, it may not be improper in this connection, to state that, I have until recently been of those in upper Georgia, opposed to the lease. The following considera tions, however, have wrought a change in my opinions: The road, through the administration govern ing it, has not been made the politic al machine which was apprehended. It is paying a good rental—twenty five thousands a month clear money, and paying it promptly—road and equipments improved and improv ing—thus indicating that its affairs are administered with ability and in tegrity. Therefore, as tax-payer and citizen, I am for the lease as it is and so I believe are a majority of those in this section of the Htate who have hitherto been opposed to the lease. So much for the digression. In referring to statistics of the sev eral counties on the proposed line of this road, it is important that the da ta given should be indisputably cor rect, or such as may be had from the last census returns, and the report of the Comptroller General of the State. From these sources it is proposed to make an exhibit—showing popula tion, acres of improved lands, unim proved lands, value thereof in dollars, number of cows and other cattle, num ber of sheep, number of hogs, bales of cotton, bushels of wheat, of oats, of corn, of barley, of rye, of peas, of irish potatoes, of sweet potatoes, pounds of wool, tons of hay, pounds of butter, barrels of syrup, "gallons of honey, pounds of wax, value of slaughtered animals, barrels of flour, barrels of apples, number of water powers, number of iron ore beds, number of copper mines, number of slate quarries, number of marble quarries, and much of other data which can only be bad by reference to official sources of information, and by personal recognizance of resources of the counties under consideration, requiring some little time, and which, if health and strength fail not, shall soon be forthcoming. An informed writer in a communi cation to the Savannah Republican, under date of the 7th inst., on the in fluence of Railroads, after alluding to the rapid increase of railroads in the United States as providing a basis of wealth which secures a certain pay ment in the future for our National debt, remarks: “ When the incidental advantages ! resulting from railroads in the coun- ■ try are so demonstrable, and while j such advantages are X'egarded as a ba- I sis upon which the construction of such works may be securely underta ken, it is certainly surprising that European governments have not, up on a similar idea, done more to en courage their construction. Our people reason in this way: the J construction of railroads will add five ! times its cost to the value of the ag gregate value of the property of the j community constructing it. The commerce and wealth which it will create annually w r ill exceed five times j its cost. The country, consequently, is vastly better off for it even should it produce not a dollar of direct reve nue. Our government, in its land grants, has acted upon this idea. Eng land in her East India possessions alone, has fully adopted the policy that has added so vastly to the wealth and consequence of the United States.” “ The pioneer or emigrant can bet ter pay ten dollars an acre for land by the side of a railroad than cultivate it as a gift beyond the reach of such a work. The population of a State, city or town, increases just in ratio as railroad facilities are afforded.” I have but to say, in conclusion of this hasty and prefatory communica tion, to men of experience and fore cast, that the hour is at hand and the necessity upon us to meet the follow ing questions : In what is our trans portation deficient? What addition al points should w r e reach. How can we best get to them and how speedily under the circumstances? Then, of all the confessedly important things to be done—which shall claim priori ty? What allies should w r e seek in putting our plans in operation and how quickly may we get at it ? R. A. Crawford. GRANT’S LETTER OE ACCEPTANCE. Executive Mansion, ) Washington, D. C., June 10,1872. j Mon. Thomas Settle, Pres't National Republican Convention, Paid Stro bach, Elisha Baxter, C. A. Sargent, and others, Vice-Presidents: Gentlemen: Your letter of this date advising me of the action of the Convention held in Philadelphia, Pa., on the sth and 6th of this month, and of my unanimous nomination for the Presidency by it, is received. I accept the nomination, and through you return my heartfelt thanks to your constituents for this mark of their confidence and support. If elected in November, and pro tected by a kind Providence in health and strength to perform the duties of the high trust conferred, I prom ise the same zeal and devotion to the good of the whole people for the fu ture of my official life, as shown in the past. Past experience may guide me in avoiding mistakes inevitable with novices in all professions, and all occupations. When relieved from the responsibility of my present trust by the election of a successor, whether it be at the end of this term or the next, I hope to leave to him, as Ex ecutive, a country at peace within its own borders, at peace with outside nations, with a credit at home and abroad, and without embarrassing questions to threaten its future pros perity. With the expression of a de sire to see a speedy healing of all bit terness of feeling between sections, parties or races of citizens, and the time when the title of citizen carries with it ail the protection and privile ges to the humblest that it.doestothe most exalted, I subscribe myself very respectfully, Your obedient servant, U. S. Grant. 1 _ The Last Call.—W. T. Gordon, Tax Receiver, will attend at Carters ville, for the hi st time this year, to re ceive tax returns, on Thursday and Friday, the 18th and 19th instants.— So take due notice and govern your- I selves accordingly. Editors of Standard A Express — Dear Sirs: I hand you copies of newspapers published in St. Louis during the session of the Agricultu ral Congress. The object sought after in this Congress is chiefly to effect *ueh co-operation as will enable the agriculturists of the country to re ceive their proper share of encourage ment from the general government, and to protect the agricultural inter ests from the impositions to which they are now subjected. Though comprising, probably, three-fifths of the imputation and capital of the country, it is asserted there are only eleven representatives in the Congress of the United States of this important industry which is the base of all wealth. The effect of co-operation in Hanover in 1864 changed the sys tem of rotation of crops of 771 farms, in one gear. What might not the farmers and planters of the South ac complish if they could unite in a sim ilar spirit and with a similar motive? How much might be saved in our county alone if one Agricultural So ciety would unite to purchase all supplies needed, whether fertilizers or plantation supplies, by the car load, and save all the commissions paid to middle men ? Could we thus unite, the exhorbitant freight charges eoukl ultimately be overthrown or neutralized, and some means be de vised of systematizing our expendi tures aud receipts. Nor would this system interfere with the legitimate laws of trade, any more than do the edicts of “ Boards of Trade” among merchants, or uniform freight rates averaged and kept in force by the combined action of Railroad magnates, affect the indi vidual action of men in other pur suits. If the price of clover seed varies two dollars (£200) per bushel in a year—and this article always varies in price at certain periods—and one thousand bushels are annually sold in the county, it is manifest that the farmers might have saved £2,000 00 by knowing when and how to buy. Co-operation will give us this knowl edge. How many car loads of land plas ter were received at Cartersville this year, and was it the merchant or the farmer who paid by the ton in stead of by the car load? How much money was lost the farmer by this one item ? What rate of inter est is charged when the farmer pur chases this indispensible fertilizer on time? The same question with regard to each fertilizer sold here, when replied to, would astonish perhaps every farmer in our county. An organiza tion which would enable him to know these facts before hand and act upon them, we think would advance agriculture and extend the member ship of the “ Central Cherokee Agri cultural Society.” It would make it emphetically an agricultural society, where we could realize the Swiss motto: “ chacun pour tons, et tons pour chacun." (Each one for all, and all for each one.) Can we have such a society? Very truly yours, Francis Fontaine. ]For the Cartersville Standard & Express. Messrs. Editors: —l have been a reader of your paper some time, and have this to say for it, it is the neat est, most legible paper 1 have had the pleasure of seeing and reading. More over, it seems to be more fully and directly interested in its section of the State than any paper published North of Atlanta. It is the medium through which many of us get our news, the market prices current, a knowledge of what our neighbors in other counties are doing, and in short it is the best sheet in this end of the State. Why, a man will send all the way to Atlan ta for his paper, and pass by the paper that is trying to build him up, I can not see. The Standard & Express is a high toned, public spirited secular sheet. Sound in politics, and an ear nest advocate of all the industrial pur suits. Citizens of Bartow, you ought every one of you to take, pay for and read the S. &E. One bushel of wheat will buy it for a year, and in less than one half of the time it will pay you back ten fold. You don’t believe this perhaps. Well, say you live twenty miles from Cartersville, you start to market twenty bushels of grain, you sell it at £1 per bushel, and in ten minutes you see in the paper that the price has advanced twenty-five cents on the bushel. Now you have lost j ust $5. More than double the money it would have cost you. A good county paper is worth a great deal to everybody in the county. Bartow is a huge county, rich in lands, blessed with enterprising in habitants, and can boast of more good schools than any county in the State, according to population. In Carters ville there are two or three first-class schools. At Pine Log there is a No. 1 school, conducted by young Mr. Vincent. At Adairsville, a most lovely village, there is another high school, and you will allow me to say, a school that is an honor to the noble citizens who built it up. Prof. Mil burn has proved himself worthy of his position as principal, and we are all delighted with the prospect of its future success. There is no place on the W. A. A. R. R. so well calculated to afford pleasure and health to visitors as the village of A . Bob Martin, the hotel man, knows exactly how to make his guests happy. Our valley is waving with yellow wheat fields, and green corn fields. Our clover crop is luxuriant, and our fruit trees are breaking down under their bur dens. All together, Bartow is a “ whale,” and the “ Standard & Expres” an essential element of prosperity. A Georgian. DIRECT YOUR LETTERS CAREFULLY. The Postal Record says that during the past year there Mere sent to the Dead Letter Office nearly three mill ion letters. Sixty-eight thousand of these letters could not be forwarded owing to the carelessness of wri ters omiting to give the county or State ; four hundred thousand railed to be sent because the M'riters forgot to put on stamps, and over three thousand letters were put in the post office without any address whatever. In the letters above named was found over £92,000 in cash, drafts, checks, etc., etc., to the value of 83,000,000. There were over thirty-nine thousand photographs contained in the above letters. Os course nearly all the mon ey and valuables were returned to the owners, but much needless delay, many charges of dishonesty, etc., might have been saved if the writers of the letters could have been a little more careful, and taken the precau tion to »ee that their letters were in mailable condition before depositing them in the post-office. It is more than probable that nine-tenths of all the complaints, losses and delays which are laid to the Post-office De partment, are in reality due to the carelessness of their writers.-— Rowell's American Newspaper Reporter. Tho Bayonet Election Bill which the Grant Radicals are now trying to push through Congress, and which the Greeley Republicans are gallantly fighting in common with the Demo crats, is the crowning measure of des potic centralism. Its infamy can scarcely be described. It is the very culmination of tyranny, the essence of oppression, the destruction of the bal lot box, the utter nullification of the elective franchise. N. B.—Rather than have an extra -session of Congress called, the closing act of the House was to pass the En. forcement Bill, in a greatly modified form. Congress then adjourned. The House took up the Senate bill extending the suspension of the priv ilege of the writ of habeas corpus, until after the next session of Con gress, but instead of two-thirds in fa vor, there were only 56 in the affirm ative and BS in the negative. A correspondent of the Athens Watchman, writing of matters in El bert, Hart and Franklin counties, says that Horace Greeley seems to be the universal choice of the planters, and they are anxious for the Democratic Convention at Baltimore to remain silent. OLD JOHN BROWN. That was indeed a fit thing for the Philadelphia Convention to signalize the nomination of Grant by singing the song about the old horse thief and ruffian, John Brown. When Mosby stumps Virginia for Grant, he should make much of this highly creditable incident. —Atlanta Consti tution. REMARKABLE MORTALITY OF EVER GREENS. From Virginia to the Canadian shores, and from the eastern slojie of the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic, the evergreens are dead or dying. Millions of dollars’ worth of hardy plants, that have for years withstood our northern winters, now show the ravages of the zero weather of the last season. Norway spruce, pines, arbor vita?, junipers, rhododendrons, dwarf and standard roses in public parks and private gardens, have “put on the sere and yellow leaf,” their symbols of decay. Chattanooga offers a lot and $75,000 worth of stock to sustain all expenses of transportation for the removal of the Schofield rolling mill from Atlan ta to that place. The removal will take 1,200 inhabitants and $250,000 per annum from Atlanta. General Withers, Admiral Semmes, General Bragg, Judge Dargan, Judge Grandin, Robert H. Smith, Represen tative Ellison, Major Thames, and two hundred and seventy-three oth ers have signed a call for a Greeley ratification meeting in Mobile on Monday night next. New Advertisements.
