Kingston, April 25.--J. C. Ro per’s sUiblts, near Kingston, were completely doMroyed by fire this morning at 1 o’clk. A large quanti ty of corn, fodder, etc., a thresh ing machine, farm utensils, and ten horn'sumi mules, were burnt*! up. Nothing was saved, and the loss amoUuLs tu about £7,OUU. Avery tin*- Million was burnt to death. The lire was certainly the work of an incendiary. We barn that three of the elan of ncgrot*-> implicated in burning the above alabie, were bubacqueutiy ar rested add b.ought to this city for imprisonment in the county jail, but the ring-leader knocked, down the officer having him in charge and got away, and is stiii at large. It is said that they confessed to the burning, and said that there was a clan of them, in that neighborhood, banded togeth er to burn and plunder for spoils.— The whole country should be on the lookout for the escaped ring-leader and arch liend, as all are interested in having the villain brought to jus tice. This blow falls with withering effects on Col. Roper ; and, the more soat tins busy crop season of the year, llis loss is also the loss of Bartow co., inasmuch as bis efforts were directed to the improvement of stock, his two line brood mares and his celebrated stallion, “Bob Lee,” having all been burned to death in the stable. Col. It. lias the heartfelt sympathy of the peophvthroughout_the county in this sad misfortune. TIIE CA RTERSVI LLE AN D VAN WERT OR CHEROKEE RAILROAD. The Rock mart Reporter gives the following interesting information about this road: We learn that at the annual meet ing of the stockholders of the Chero k< e Railroad, on last Thursday, that almost the whole stock of the com pany was represented, for the first time in several years; at least, since the road troubles began. Since li. I. Kimball left Georgia, the stock held originally by M. A. Cooper A Cos. has been unrepresented. At this meeting the entire stock was represented by Colonel John E. Ward, as attorney for the commer cial Warehouse Company of New York city. We understand that upon reorgan ization, John Baird, DeLaMeter and John E. Ward, of New York, and Abda Johnson and Seaborn Jones, of Georgia, were elected Directors, and John Baird was made President. An assessment of t wenty per cent, was levied upon the stock of the com pany for the purpose of completing the road broad gauge to this point at the earliest possible day, which will be a day of rejoicing to our people. A Runaway Locomotive.— The Atlanta Herald says a lroight tiain i i..r. tty. i --r..r r -<*Yfg-me'rr vVithout giving the signal to put on brakes, shut oif the steam and left it out of gear, lit* stepped off while the train was still moving slo wiv, as is customary, supposing the engine would stop in a very short time, and went into the hotel for supper in com pany with the conductor and other employees of the train. In a short time and before they Lad done sup per, they were surprised by the an nouncement that the train had pass ed through without making any stop whatever. Astonished, and not knowing how far it had proceeded, they at once began a rapid pursuit, following tile line of the railroad track, but were soon overtaken by the Cartersvilie accommodation and taken on board. Arriving at Ac worth, the lost locamotive was not to be found, having passed through that place without any demonstra tions whatever, such as ringing the bell or blowing the whistle. Pro ceeding but a little futher, they hove in sight oi the “‘iron horse” that had just come to ft halt anti was resting quietly. This whs about a mile above Acworth. Ihe cause of this accident is a- follows: “No signal was given to put on brakes and consequently none applied, and besides, the throttle valve of the engine leaked, and being on down grade began idov ingaiid continued to gather strength of motion until the pump had nearly filled the engine with water, and a rise in the grade was reached. Dur ing this freak the engine run eleven miles with but two persons on board, and these were train bands in the cab waiting for the signal to apply the brakes, which was not given, and without which they had no authori ty to act. The conductor. Mr. Bass, and the engineer, Mr. Burton, were, both immediately discharged lor the breach of duty committed m tailing to give the signal. JACK FROST. Columbia, S. €.. April 26. There was a heavy frost and ice this morning. Young cotton and vegetables were killed in the vicini ty. Cold weather is reported in the up country. Goldsboro, N. C.., April 26. There was frost last night through out the State. It damaged crops and fruit. It is generally feared that the cotton planted is entirely ruined. Knoxville, April 26.

The princi pal object of the meeting was to ob viate the frequent freight blockade* consequent upon the detention of cars on the Louisville and Nashviiie and the Bt.

The convention determined that roads should issue 7,sooadditional cars pro rata to roads and that a Buperimond ent should be appointed, at a liberal salary, to look after the return of the rotate to which they bc~ BOOKS. We commend to the notice of the public, the review of the school series of Morton A Cos., which appears be low. The review is from Jhe pen of our excellent friend, Miss Safford, I tho accomplished and experienced j principal of the Cartersvilie Female ! Seminary. No one is better calculat ed to form a correct opinion of seho | iastie works, and the very decided ! and warm approval which she gives I of these publications is sufficient to entitle them to publ.c favor and gen j oral acceptance. From the examina ■ tion which we have given them, we j heartily concur in the opinion of Miss jpAi'FOKO, and commend them .to the public generally, and to all teachers and parents especially. Particularly are the remarks in relation to the Latin Grammar worthy of considera tion. It h;is for a long tim ■ appeared to us that alt the more modern Latin and Greek Grammars were so eucuui liered with learned and frequent and extended notes, as to render it almost impossible, that the beginner could lie otherwise than utterly confounded with the difficult mass which claims his study. They appear to lie gotten up to show rather the varied and mi nute learning of the authors, than to instruct the tunid and hesitating youthful scholar, and are more prop erly subjects of study for the already tlnished grudutate, than for t.ie unin formed young scholar. The work here reviewed is free from this capi tal and mischievous objection, and is simple, plain and ol easy comprehen sion, while it combines in itseii, at the same time, great research and er udition, with the most desirable sim plicity. With works like these uni orm'y t ii'jhl in all oar schools, in stead of tiie thousand and one that are offered for sale and the trade, a material benefit would result to the parents who have to buy, and the children to be taught. Our thanks are due to the active and accomplished agent of the Com pany, Mr. Putnam, for laying them on our table, and we take pleasure in predicting for them a very wide and favorable sale, and circulation, and general adoption in our school. morton’s school series. We have had placed in our hands for examination several volumes ot this series, published by J. P. llorton &Cos., of Louisville, Ky.; whose es tablishment has been long and favor ably known through the Southern and Western sections of this country. Amongst th<; * volumes, we notice a “First Book in Spelling and Read ing,” which is beautifully gotten up and illustrated. The ingenious com bination of simple, easy words into little stories to be used as reading les sons in the very outset, is an agreea ble feature, varying the monotony of the old,— “It is on,” “Is it on,” “Go up,” Ac.,—of the First Reader of our childhood. The lessons on the sounds of the various letters, especially those for drilling on the consonant-sounds, are v<>ry uood. and will appreciatoil bv every teacher WHO uTTuersiaiicio the importance of cultivating a clear, distinct enunciation by the youngest .nm* i Auiiiiiaoty auapteii to the class for which they are designed. The sprightly stories are about child-life and plays, with simple lessons of right and wrong that can be under stood by children, and so read with proper life and .spirit. Exercises on the vowel sounds are continued in this volume, scattered at suitable in tervals over its pages. Next, we take up “First Lessons in English ('ompqgition,” prepared by the late Rev. John Bonnell; the lamented President of Wesleyan Fe male College, Macon. .This little work is designed to give children an idea of the primary rules of composition, and conveys in the form of a plain, terse, lively dialogue, the chief prin ciples of this art. The subjects sug gested for practice are very easy, with simple questions to guide in the analysis and treatment. Almost un consciously, young students will learn to express themselves clearly and cor rectly, the temptation to become pla giarists will be taken away, and the word “Composition,” cease to tie the bugbear whose very mention causes a shudder of reluctance to run through the childish mind. Brun’s Latin Grammar, is evident ly the work of a skilled teacher. The arrangement is comprehensive and logical, the pages free from the piles of notes and linguistic quibbles which ' only serve to perplex a beginner, practical, common-sense instruction on all important points is given. The Syntax is particularly clear and con cise, yet it treats of every rule neces sary to an undarstauding of the pld- and structure of the Latin uthguage, in the most simple and ex act manner, omitting no point of im portance. The Prosody is also complete, in its rules and applications. i bis whole series, so far as exam ined, seems to have been prepared by persons thoroughly acquainted v\ith the best systems of instruction, and able to adapt them to the tastes and capacities ot youths. in typographical execution, in beauty of illustration, and cheapness, me volumes will compare favorably with the books issued by any estab lishment in the country.* SHAI). Professor Baird, United States Com missioner of fish and fisheries, we see it stated, has just dispatched Beth Green and four attendants to Augus ta, Georgia, for the purpose of com mencing there the w 7 ork of shad hatching, with a view of restocking the Southern and Western waters. — After the season closes at Augusta, Mr. Green vviil proceed Northward and continue his labors successively at Newborn, Weldon, Fredericks burg, Washington, and other locali ties. A portion of the fish hatched out, will be placed in the river at each particular station, imd others will be transmitted by rail to adja cent waters, Loth on the Atlantic coast and in the Mississippi valley, ft is especially desirable that this immediate region of the State shouid share in this great benefit about to be conferred upon large sections of the ‘•ourwry. It has already been practi cally and satisfactorily demonstrated that fish can be successfully grown in this Waj, and we should not Rt any effort go unused to become participa tors In this wise and beneficial plan of supplying our waters with this best oi all fish. The idea has generally prevailed that the white shad was nm found iu any waters in Georgia, West ot the Oemulgee, that river j tftfcuuuy WJ to tto dividing Jdub to- j tween the white and the hickory shad which last prevail! West of that stream, and therefore some have thought that the white shad would not multiply in any of the Western waters. But within a few years past, some fine white shad have been caught in the Etowah river, at Col. Tumlin’s mill, and at points below, j and there can lie no reasonable doubt} that the experiment would prove j entirely successful if made in the wa ters of the Cherokee region. If thik could be done, the benefit which would be conferred upon this portion i of the State, would lie beyoud calcu lation, and we earnestly invite im mediate attention to this important | subject. Especially we call upon Col. ! Lewis Tumlin and Mr. William Rowland, who own river plantations and fisheries, to oj»en immediate in tercourse with Mr. Green, at Augus- ta, and use every effort to accomplish this most desirable object. These , mtiemen own fisheries, and if the scheme of propagating the white shad should be applied to the Etowah riv er, they would have a source of reve nue for years to come, which would render more valuable their beautiful plantations, while, at the same time, the whole region round about would be vastly benefited. We have stur geon, ait, trout, perch, drum, succors, red horse, and other valuable fish, in the Etowah, but no white shad of any consequence. Again we make a personal appeal to tnese gentlemen, at once to interest themselves heartily in this important enterprise, because we are disposed to believe that if they will do so, the purpose can be accomplished, but it must be done at once. We refer them to Mr. Green, and his attendants, at Augusta, Geor gia, and insist that they see to it be fore he shall leave that city. [Fertile Standard & Express. WHAT IS THE FASHION ? Atanta, Ga., April 26th, 1873. Jaunty, jockey, tawdry, tasty, ug ly, pretty—all are in style. Every tiling is the fashion—and en passant that word style has slain its thou sands. Nothing so commends itself as to be incongruous, inharmonious and objectionable. The sensational in dress is the order of the day, and outre and bazarre are in high favor. Color runs riot, and profusion of or nament has frowned out of counte nance this primitive aphorism, “beauty unadorned, adorned the most.” Who so credulous as to sub scribe to a falacy so palpable. There never was a time when such latitude has been allowed, and each woman is endowed with the special preroga tive to make her own taste sole arbi tress of her toilette. In as much she makes no infraction of the funda mental law of the reigning queen. She may array herself becomingly by consulting what is adapted to her pe culiar style, and not in blind obe dience to the dictates of tyrant Fash ion, adopting what her individuality should rebel against. Loyalty should not be carried so far as to become treason to one’s sell, and the whims of capricious Fashion should not be allowed to meta m °rphose a pretty sfioW: of course if a certain s haile <sr color is pronounced by imperial ukase as the royal insignia, all | process, fortified by the serene com I aciousnesss of being ala mode— than which no religion or philosophy can be more consoling. A woman all lines and angles, whose neck no art ist would crave to copy, must certain ly be blind to consequential damages when she dresses her hair high, sur mounting her cranium like a mina ture fortress, throwing sharp features out in bold relief in a manner that would have been trying to a Venus de Medicis. But then it is the “style,” and what abominatious have been perpetrated in that name. The graceful sweep of drapery, the soft, flowing folds once so pleasing, have given way to startling absurdities, and if not puffed up and paniered you are nothing. (No crusade against Jbasluon in her selection of newspa pers—as they are kept on file.) Fine plumage makes a handsome bird—an adage trite but true. Still there should be a limit to the decoration: and no one should indulge in an elaboration of display that beggars fancy and wearies the eye. Strong minded women, haughtily indifferent to the minutiae of Fashion, may sub limely dispense with ornament—ig noring the pitiful aid (?) derived therefrom by her weaker sisters. Such a course of severe simplicity, rigidly excluding the aid of orna ment, is suicidal to their beauty, and while studying address, should give due attention to dress. ’Tis the fash ion to be artificial. The fact is patent —hence, no one is deceived, and one has carte blnnc to all the arts and ap pliances that reconstruct people, all the amendments whereby they are renovated and renewed. A “con summation devoutly to be wished,” when we are falling into the sere and yellow 7 leaf, and Vanity has entered protest and would stop proceedings, or be indemnified for the ravages of Time. Complexions are manufac tured according to “style,” and cha meleon-like hues are assumed, as fair or dark the fancy be. What if Dame Nature, in an ungracious mood, has been chary of her charms, and done one up in a manner suggestive of parchment. That can be obviated by buying your complexion from the druggist—and radiant in pink and White, graciously accept the advan tage thus derived, aud make our best salaam to the genius whose touch transmutes to beauty, whose fascinat ing spell is more potent than Lotos or Lethe. What if like Caius Cassius you are afflicted with a lean and hun gry look, angles not at all in keeping with Hogarth’s line of beamy ? you may read by remedy those deficien cies, by a judiciou> expenditure of a little time and much money, with some other ingredients known in the modern aichymy, not as the elixir of youth, but a pretty good counterfeit. All oi which combine iu iorining a tout ensemble complete, that would defy the prying eyes of spiteful Mrs. Grundy. “Life Is earnest.” Arcadia and Utopia banished from this steru, realistic age—and there are studios more important than the puffs, frills and frippery, whose only use is to impart an awkward, overloaded air, and laces and jewels—gewgaws for j which so much money is expended, so many lives wrecked, all of happi ness and home comfort recklessly squandered. To be considered fash ionable is not the ultimatum of wo man’s destiny. There are higher aims and nobler purposes; and yet how much of precious time is ex pended in vain display, unsatisfying as'Dead Bea fruit, and trifles too small for one moment to command a thought. Cultivation of mind in sures simplicity and grace, and should | studiously avoid, as a gross violation ! of taste and refinement, any thing so ; pronounced or startling as to chal lenge attention. But the institution j is anyient and respectable, and the I canitas j ad vauitatem of its regulations j will only render it more meritorious | i» Vwuitjy Jf\*r. »»j>. WV* THE NFWS IN GENERAL.
