L. Watts at 1466. Tbe contract stipulates that the bridge shall be built out of new timber. A bridge at the same place was built a few years ago for §BOO. Personal.— Col. 8. W. Baker, of the Black shear Georgian, was in our town on last Saturday. Toe Col. resided in this place about twenty years ago, and, consequently, was unable to find many of his old friends surviving; those whom he did meet were rejoiced to see his affable face, hear the sweet melody of his voice and listen to his match less conversation.

Lixzie Cleveland, convicted of murder, was sen tenced to the penitentiary for life. . Martha Legate, (col.) convicted of infautieide, was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. The State waa represented in the above cases by T. B. Cabaniss, Solicitor-General, and Col. Jas. 8. Pinckard. The prosecution was conducted with ability, and the attorneys; won much credit and honor. The defendants were represented by Messrs. A. D. Hammond, Turner, Miller, Amos, and J. H. Turner. These gentlemen secured a great triumph in saving their clients from the gal lows. J udge Hall took occasion to pay a very high compliment to Col. Hammond, whilst passing sentence upou the prisoners. He told the con victs that they owed their liFes to the great efforts and ability of Col. Hammond, and that he had won the greatest triumph of his life. “An Old Established Firm.— The firm of 8. M. Pettengiil fc Cos. commenced their Adver tising Agency in the old Journal building, No. 10 State Street, Boston, nearly a quarter of a cen tury ago (February, 1849,) where their Agency is still located, carrying on a large and successful business. They established a branch in New York City, May, 1552, which has grown to he larger than the parent house—increasing steadily, year by year, until now it has the agency of nearly every newspaper in the United State* and British Produces, and does a yearly business of hundreds of thousands of dollars. S. M. Pettengiil & Cos. have recently opened another branch office at 701 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where they are doing a successful, increasing business. They have done advertising exceeding ten millions of dollars. This firm ia favorably known not only throughout this country, but in all parts of the world. They have established a reputation for honorable and fair dealing which any firm might envy, and but few have attained to. We congrat ulate them upon their success. We would re commend all who want advertising done in any part of the country to call upon them. They c;n point to hundred* of business men who have fol lowed their advice, and trusted to their sagacity, and availed lhemselvea of their facilities, who have made fortunes lor themselves, and they are dally assisting others In tbe)*ame path.”— Boston Jyufnal, May J.’ V News from Spaldin..,— ZVar Adi<ertiur : For the list ten days the eroj>s have improved amaz ingly. A great deal of corn ia now two feet high or more. The stand Is good, thus far it is well worked, and I think I never saw, at this season, a finer prospect for a large harvest. Cotton is do ing welL Wheat will soon be ready tor the sickle. The area sown, In this community, is large. We have a good prospect of an abundant fruit crop. a 'guano merchant, who knows and lives hardby, assures me that the amount of guano sold in this section, and all along the 8. W. R, R., is not one-fourth at large as the amount sold three years ago. Nearly every planter has bought some, but in small lots. My friend Bays, that one man who purchased 150 tons, three years ?.go, has bought about ten tons this year. Another who used 100 tons, has ordered five tons this year. And this is a sample of what large buyers generally are doing now. Still farmers are giving heavy liens upon the coming crop in order to get corn, bacon, etc. tornado, hail, etc. On the evening of the 15th a destructive hurricane passed over some portions of Southwest Georgia. In Dooly, in portions of adjacent counties, and in the upper part of this (Macon) county, the fencing was blown down almost to the bottom rail, fresh fields were nearly covered with fallen timbers, chimneys were blown down, and several houses were unroofed ; but I hear of no fatal or even se rious personal injuries. The damage in this neighborhood was very small. I saw nor beard any hall, bnt learn it was very destructive in some neighborhoods below here. The High School building in Marsballville was damaged, bnt, glad to learn, not seriously. Chimneys were prostrated, and one large window—sash and frame —was forced inward some distance against a piano. THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL PICNIC IN MARSHALLVILLE, on Friday, the 15th, was excellent. The pupils of the Methodist Sunday school formed in proces sion and marched up to the Baptist church,where the pupils of the latter fell iDto line, and all marched In fine order, under Major Booton, Mar shall of the day, preceded by an impromptu brass band, down to the first named cbnrch. Short ad dresses were made by Dr. B. L. Ross, Rev. Wm. C. Wilkes and Rev. Mr. Branch. The exercises were enlivened with sweetest music by the two schools led by Prof. Guttenberger. And, at the tap of a bell, all assembled along two long tables loaded with—yes, almost groaning under the weight of— a splendid dinner. Spalding. The Entertainment.— We arc informed that the entertainment given by the Athenian Society on last Friday night was quite a success. The attendance was large, and the efforts of the young ladies very much appreciated. Our Junior was present, and had prepared a three column report of the proceedings, but a press of other matters and the overstrained imagery of his report, re quires that its publication should be deferred fer the present. .* State Grange. —We direct attention to the card of E. Taylor, Secretary of the State Grange. See the card of Mrs. D. F. Walker in another column. The Great Town Tax Question.— The great pressure of the above question has been partially relieved and neutralized by the great excitement, caused by a fresh arrival of an elegant lot of new and cheap Dry Goods, Clothing’ Boots and Shoes, Hats, Notions, Umbrellas, Parasols, Shirts, Cut lery, Hardware, Crockery, Tobacco, etc. Ladies who contemplate visiting the commence ment, and who expect to attend the festivities of the season, can secure the handsomest and most gaudy dresses—the most refined attires, by calling at the Store Room of may 30tf John A. Daniei.lt. To A. B. C. D. E. F. G. 11. Etc. —Rest assured that you have done ore of the noblest acts of your life and one that has made a lasting impression on your humble servant’s mind. Such an act of hon esty is highly commendable, especially at this crisis, when such ribbon is so scarce with you, as I have learned by “ visible knowledge.” I must adm : t that I was put to considerable “ inconveiuce ” (whatever that ia) by being de prived of my very best, consequently did not dare to desecrate the sacred haunts ol “ Purgatory.” I was highly delighted with your eflorts, as a careful perusal will show, but was too sleepy to “ make a fuss about it.” Do so again.

Tuck, Land Commissioner, St. Louis, Ma apr22,73-ly Correspond en re. Items of Travel—Georgia Baptis tion—Rome. I’m on the wing, bound not lor “ the home of the C®sara,” bnt for the Georgia city, Rome, which Is fast becoming a rival of Pittsburg, Pa. Eyes and ears will be kept open, until mesmerized by “nature’s sweet restorer.” No sooner had I taken my seat in the cars at Montezuma, than a ÜBIQUITOUS CHARACTER gently Upped me on the shoulder, saying, in a fa miliar voice, “ have you had your life insured *” in a tone so soft and persua. ive that almost won assent to have It done at once. “ Well, Dr., how U.ve yon succeeded ? what amount of policies have you taken?” “I’m doing first-rate; have policies to the amount of $400,000.” “Vhll What Company do you work for ?” “ A company in New York ; a good company—safe—guaranteed by the Sute—joint-stock concern.” “ Yes, they are nearly all good,” I answered, “it a man will make haste to die; but delay is a losing busi ness. Still, all prefer to procrastinate.” This is one of the agencies of carrying Southern money to the North. At Kingston one of the Committee of Arrange ments met u* with a circular containing the names of delegates to the Baptist Convention, ar ranged alphabetically, with the names of each one’s home annexed; an excellent arrangement. In twenty-three hours I landed in the “ City ol Hills,” soon fonnd my home, and after brushing', dust ing, ablation, and toilet adjustment, I went to the Baptist church, where I found THE GEORGIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION assembling. On Thursday, the 24th oi April, at 10)* o’clock, a. M., 130 delegates organized by electing Hon. D. C. Battle President, Rev. G. R. McCall Clerk, and Rev. E. W. Warren Assistant Clerk. At night Rev. J. H. Corley preached the Introductory Sermon. The eflort indicated piety and marked ability. Distinguished persons pres ent—G. L. Obear, Ex-Mayor of Macon, Ex-Gov. Brown, Rev. J. A. Preston from Creek Indians, etc. The Georgia Baptist Orphan’s Home reported 16 inmates; cash receipts, $8,775 52; expenses, $3,764 79; balance on hand, $5,310 79; notes, etc., $18,812; total assets, $23,122 75. It is located in Atlanta. Convention Fund—total $33,283 27. By a resolution of Rev. J. M. Wood, a commit tee was appointed to consider the propriety of appointing a Board of Missions for the State of Georgia, for the purpose of conducting home mis sions within our own bounds. This is one of the most important acts of the Convention. The report of the Aged Ministers’ Fund was re ceived and discussed with much interest, and a collection in cash and bonds was made amounting to sl,2fio. Rev. H. F. Chiver, A. P. Abell and Jno. B. Walker are trustees. The Finance Committee reported funds brought up to this session of the body: For Foreign Mis sions, $583; for Domestic Missions, $646; for Baptist Ministers’ Fund, $271; total, $2,074 78. The Convention by an overwhelming majority dissented from the proposition to make ail the denominational colleges in the State subordinate to the State University at Athena. Avery impor tant decision. The endowment fund ot Mercer University was reported to be over $300,000; and yet it is sajd the Trustees cannot “ run even the present schedule without more money.” The late Dr. Turpin of Augusta once said that he learned, when he was a boy, “ not to put all his eggs under one hen.” it is a pity there was no Dr. Turpin iu the Board of Trustees, when it was resolved to erect one huge edifice which will probably cost, when completed and furnished, not less than $125,000. Two more buildings are greatly needed—a Chapel and Laboratory. Unless there is an abatement of ex travagant uotions, the present generation will never see the two buildings erected. The Convention will hold its next session iu Americus. I trust I will be excused lor a rather minute ac count of ROME and its surroundings. It is already one of the most important cities in Georgia. Its manufac tures of iron, its climate, water works, railroad and water communications, proximity to vast de posits of iron, coal, slate and marble, its agricultu ral, educational and religious advantages combine to make it one of the most inviting cities In the State. It is estimated to be above thirty-four degrees of latitude, and in longitude more than eight de grees west from Washington. Its elevation above tide-water is 640 feet. It rests on a promontory formed by a near approach of the Etowah and Oostanaula rivers, and a deflection to the right of the latter and a circuitous divergence of the former, and then a rapid convergence to the point of junction on the southwest. Its atmosphere is dry, pflre and salubrious; the temperature is said seldom to rise above 90 degiees, or to fall below 20. Being free from the malaria of lower latitudes it is a place of considerable resort in summer. The LANDS are varied and fertile, rewarding iudustiy, frugality and good cultivation, with abundant harvests of corn, wheat, rye, pats, cotton, etc. It is difficult to purchase the best river bottom lands for less than SSO to SIOO per acre; and the price of lands is advancing almost constantly. The fruits are abundant, well flavored and very luscious. Apples of almost every variety are cultivated with great success, Peaches, pears, plums, cherries— many greatly Improved varieties—are highly ap preciated and cultivated extensively. The WATER gushes out from the hillsides in a thousand springs, cool, pure, limpid, as ever issued from mountain sides. The water of the wells is as ex cellent as I ever tasted. The creeks and rivers afford water-power sufficient to drive the machin ery of hundreds of factories. The mineral resources are almost exhaustless. Along a range of mountains, running northeast and southwest, extending far down into Alabama, there are em bosomed in the earth, untold wealth for hundreds of generations to come. The EDUCATIONAL AND RELIGIOUS progress of the people is as striking as the natu ral of the country is extensive. They have col leges, high schools and academies sufficient to educate all the children of the country. The churches are neat, sometimes elegant structures and well supplied with efficient pastors, and well attended by orderly, attentive and appreciative congregations, THE MANUFACTURERS OF IRON are well worthy of notice. To me they were sur prising. I had no idea of the amount and quality of wares manufactured. The first I visited was THE ROME IRON MANUFACTURING COMPANY. This is a large establishment. Within is the scene of busy life, “ Qualis apes estate nova per florea rura Exercet sub sole labor.” A heavy black smoke is curling above, one hun dred and fifty operatives are moving hither and thither, the wheels are whirling above and below, bars of red-hot iron are rolling out, the heavy jaws are chipping off the nails—all is life. The scene at night is still more grand. Any one who has ever read the ancient classics, and will step into this ahop at night will be apt to feel like he Is in Vulcan’s forge under ML where thun der bolts are made for Jupiter. This shop makes per day 500 pounds bar iron, 120 kegs of nails and 30 kegs of spikes. It consumes 25 tons of coal per day. It has two single and two double pud dling furnaces; two beating furnaces; and ia erecting two more large boilers. The bonded atock is §30,356; common stock, §72,300; author ized capital, §300,009. John U. Allen President NOBLE, 880. * CO. With a capital of §100,600 —all Southern men— employing 90 laborers—they manipulate per day 12 to 15 railroad axles, 50 car wheels and heavy casting, machinery, etc. They make a complete 40 horse power engine in a month, or 300 horse power In 5 months. This shop uses up ten tons pig-iron, and two tons wrought iron per day. It consumes 'Jo tons of coal per week. ROME STOVE, HOLLOW-WARS AND MACHINE MANU FACTORY (J. J. Seay President) has a capital of §30,000, em ploys 64 laborers, makes sixteen stoves. 2,000 pounds michicery per Jay. In this .-hop Slay Bil ker’s school-desks, and Arhardt’s turbine wheel are manufactured. This seems to be a very active and efficient company. In connection with these companies are several large furnaces near by, which do an immense buai ness. THE 2ETNA • OMPANT. Alfred Charles President, and Hon. H. D. Cath ran Secretary; capital, $70,000; operatives 200 to 250; makes 10 to 12 tons pig-iron per day, wonh S4O to $45 per ton. stonewall iron company. Hon. W. D.

BARTOW IRON WORKS. Hugh McNeal President; F. J. Stone Secretary; capital $120,000; turns out 25 to 30 tons per day, pig-iron, worth $45 to SSO per ton. We had the pleasure of an introduction to Mr. James Nobles, Sr., a gentleman of great intelli gence, and integrity; to whom the city and adja cent country are more indebted, perhaps, than to any man living or dead, for the development of the mineral resources of Northwest Georgia. Iu addition to the above enterprises there are four large Merchant Flour Mills—one worked by water-power, turning out 200 to 250 pounds Ham per day, and three driven by steam with nearly equal capacity. But the crowning of the city is her Water-works On approaching the town, the first remarkable object that attiaets attention is a beautiful tower, rising about 300 feet above the railroad. Having determined to know more ol this won derful work of geniu3, accompanied by my oblig ing friend, Mr. W. M. Brett, at whose nuptials I officiated five years ago, ol which he still cherish es the fondest memories, I descended to the fountain. There is a neat brick edifice close to the Rome and Kingston railroad, on the bank of the Etowah river. Within the house is a well ol cool, pure, limpid water, 50 feet deep and 16 feet In diameter. Near the bottom of the well are two tunnels—one east 30 feet, the other west 23 feet— to increase the capacity of the well. The engine is a beautiful specimen of genius and art. It is made of the iron ore of the city by Noble, Bro. fls Cos., 100 horse power, and forces 400 gallons per minute into the reservoir, 400 yards distant and 200 feet above the water in the well. The average speed is 10 revolutions per minute, and it throw. up 40 gallons every stroke. The Register is a gem of curiosity; by it the engineer the courteous and ingenious George, can tell how much water has been thrown into the cistern any day in the year, any month or duriug a whole year, in uue month’s time. The Water-guage indicated then a pressure of 70 pounds for every square inch on the water pipe iu Broad street—a iorce sufficient to throw the paper over the tallest house iu the city. It is called a Walking Beam Engine, and when the child of genius was born, Mr. James Noble, Sr., appropriately named it Progress. I then ap proached the TOWER, by an ascent of 100 feet. Its foundation is 12 feet deep, upon which rises a circular, hollow brick wall, 26 feet in diameter and 65 feet high, sui rounded by a wood structure 33 feet high. With in the wall is a circular iron reservoir 60 feet high, into which the water is forced, at the base through an iron pipe 13 inches in diameter. We then went up iron steps, leading around between the brick wail and iron reservoir, 60 feet to a mammoth clock, lacing the four points of the compass, with hands long as a fence-rail, and a bell weighing 1,200 pounds. Again, we went up 35 feet more to the top of a wood structure. And, behold, what a CHARMISJG VIEW! Here are landscapes far ignore beautiful than fancy ever sketched. The “ scenes along the Windsor,” “the glories of Scotland,” nor “the heights of Switzerland, never invited the painter’s brush, or presented the means ol inspiration for poetry more charmingly than is here painted upon the maze of nature. EA9TWARD, §trawn along the declivity are a few unpretending residences; on the plain is the Etowah Manufac turing Comyany; winding along on the bank of the Etowah river from right towards the left in a semi-circle is the Rome railroad, from whence branching off northward is the Rome and Dalton railroad; on the left, a few hundred yards distant, is President Caldwell’s Female College; northeast Mount Jackson raises his head high, beyond which Forestville lies, a neat little villa of 300 to 400 inhabitants; far off into the distance lies a beau tiful range of mountains. SOUTHWARD. A large portion ot the city esteads, on an irregu la;-, undulating declivity, four miles to the Eto wah river; beyond this river are verdant fields of growing wheat and oats; farther on, three miles distant, are two prominent isolated mountains, 600 to 700 feet high; a little to the yight is a wag on bridge oyer the Etowah: still farther to the right Rome and Selma railroad bridge—O, see! look yonder! a train of cars is just going out to Selma! It moves along like a hnge ser pent, winding its way among the hills. In the same direction is the Cherokee and Alabama Fair Grounds; yonder too is Hillsborough, a suburban yilla, beyond the river. On the southwest, one half mile is the junction of Etowah and Oostanau la rivers, where two steamboats are taking aboard freight for Selma and Mobile. WESTWASD. A- our feet a,e ,hp Baptist and Presbyterian churches; farther on before us and a little to our left is the main part ol the city, extending half a mile to the Oostanaula river. Thunder! light ning ! 1 earthquake !1! the thing is falling !!! What’s the matter, Mr. Brett? just feel how it trembles! “Halha! ha 10, It’s nothing hut the clock,” “ Jt’a a thundering big clock, then; 1 forgot the big thing was underneath us. How much does that great bell weigh ?” “ Exactly 1,200 pounds net.” “How far can it be heard?” “ Four miles or more when the weather is favora ble. “ I assure yon, sir, the thing took all the breath out of me.’ 1 A half mile off Is a bridge over the Oostanaula river, on the road leading to Cave Spring. Be yond, on the left, is Myrtle Hill Cemetery, 600 to SOO yards distant over the Etowah liver; away off six miles is Mt. Atlas, on whose slope is a famous Nursery; in the same view I observed Col. Alfred Shorter’s and Judge Wright’s residences, two or three miles distant. On the Northwest I see the Oostanaula river approaching me in a direct line, which now suddenly turns to the right and unites with the Etowah to form the Coosi river. In the same view to the right i3 DeSoto, a villa nova of 150 to 200 inhabitants; further to the right, and this side the river, are the Episcopal and Method ist churches.

Globe Flower Cough Syrup will cure the most obstinate cases of Chronic Cough and Lung af fections, when all other boasted remedies fail. Globe Flower Cough Syrup does not contain a particle of opium or any ot its preparations. Globe Flower Cough Syrup does not contain a particle of poison, or any ingredient that could hurt the most delicate child. Globe Flower Cough Syrup has become, where known, the most popular Cough Medicine in the country, because it has successfully withstood the three great tests of merit, viz : Time, Experience, and of Competition, and remains, after passing through this ordeal, the best article of its kind in the world. Globe Flower Cough Syrup is pleasant to the taste, and does not disagree with the most delicate 6tomach. Physicians who have consumptive patients, are invited to try the Globe Flower Cough Syrup. Its magical effects will at once be felt and acknowl edged.
