Hidden Treasures— The Telegraph and Mes
senger saj6: “ Mr. C. 11 Branan, of Gordon, Ga.,
writes to a gentleman in this city detailing the
circumstances ot a mysterious incident which
may finally prove to be of much moment to the
parties interested. The circumstances are about
as follows:
“Mr. Branan’s father died some twenty years
ago. For some years before his death he was the
sole white occupant of the premises. Some of the
old negroes belonging to him affected to believe
that he had money buried somewhere about his
premises; but at that time there was no clue to
anything of the kind. For some time past the
place has been wholly unoccupied.
“ On Monday, the 16th instant, a place was dis
covered in the old yard, which indicated that some
one had been digging there. At first it was
thought that someone had been murdered and
buried there, atid a party of men was collect
ed to investigate the matter. It was soon found
that a pit had been dug there about four feet long
and three deep. The loose earth was carefully re
moved and at the bottom ot the pit they found a
place from which a box about twelve by fifteen
inches in dimensions had been removed. The
impression of the box was too plain to be mista
ken, and a chest lock was found among the loose
earth in the pit. The tools with which the pre
vious digging had been douc were found in an old
well near by.
“A lurther investigation discovered the tracks
of two persons leading from the place. These
were followed for some distance, and occasionally
they would come together and preseut the appear
ance of a halt having been made in order to trans
fer a load from one person to another. Those
tracks were followed through a field to a fence,
and here were indications that a box had rested
on the fenee. Here the trace was lost.
“ Mr. Branan is satisfied that there was money
iu the box, and thinks it probable that whoever
got It will come to Macon to exchange it for cur
rency. Heuce he writes here that bankers and
others may be on the lookout.”

Tue Stars and Bars. —The following article,
which we copy from the Norfolk Virginian, with
our cordial endorsement, will, we feel confident,
meet the heart-felt approval of every true Con
federate in the South:
“ Sergeant Bates carried the “old flag,” through
the South, aud then made an absurd march through
England, for which he was very generally voted
an ass. But now we learn that a “misguided
youth of Alexandria,’’ os the New York lletald
puts it, iuteuds to start with the stars and bars
from Boston on a tour of the Northern States.
We protest against this preposterous undertaking!
The flag of the Lost Cause is the symbol ot one
of the most noble struggles for independence the
world has ever witnessed, and the South will be
outraged acd shocked at this foolish desecration
of its folds. That flag has soared up among the
constellations of history, where it blazes as the
Southern Cross of this hemisphere. It has beeu
furled and wet with the blood and tears of a
whole people, and it should never be unfolded
by the hand of a preposterous vanity. No, let it
remaiu folded away with the tresses from the
heads of dead sous, aud brothers, and fathers
and husbands who died under its splendid toids.
Let its associations remaiu unpolluted by vulgar
display and senseless bravado ! Let the thought
less youth respect its sacred folds, and abandon
his foolish undertaking; for our people will
with one voice, condemn his heedless experiment.
Let the press speak aud prevent this desecration
of the flag which is red with the blood of our
best and our bravest.”
A Slate IIoIWImj.
For the p&sl twelve years the people of ibis
Btate bave ignored and absolutely declined to par
ticipate in the National anniversary, on the Fourth
of July. We wish to be considered decidedly
agamst what Is known aa the old-fashioned cele
bration of that anniversary. By this we raeau we
are opposed to the reading of the Declaration of
Independence, or anything going to commemc
rate a day in which we can feel but little interest.
What we want, and what we would have, is that
the people of the State should select some day
memorable in the Southern cause, for their anni
versary, such, for instance, as the 2lst di y of July
—a day dear to the memory of every Southern pa
triot, and a day when the South gained one of her
greatest victories —Manassas. On this, or some
other appropriate day, we arc fdr orations, for
processions, for firing salutes, at sunrise and sun
set, with fire works, for a general suspension of
business, for a geueral boisterous and exuberant
exhibition of patriotism upon the part of Young
America. The people of this State have too few
holidays and reunions, as Europe b-B too many.
We are couleut that the people of the North 6hall
celebrate the Fourth of Juiy; but we plead for
a day, the recollections of which, will enthuse
us with Ere, pride, patriotism aud rejoicing. A
day when the deeds of our heroes and martys may
be sung and cherished. A day when the magic
eloquence and wondrous fire of lire sous of Geor
gia may defend the justness of our cause, ex’.ol
the excellence of our soldiei& and explain the
principles anil causes that drove us to resist a
government of tyranny and oppression. Such a
day would come once a year, and certainly we
can afford to be demonstrable on the occasion.
The suggestion is made without any desire to
perpetuate the animosities of our people against
the North, or to foster prejudices. We will have
all the year, save one day to devote to the inau
guration of friendly feeling, and relations with
our Northern neighbors. One day in the year de
voted to a high and holy duty like this, can cer
tainly do no one harm.
They Bitot. —The Republicans of Maine, in
Convention at Bangor on the 19th uit., nomina
ted Nelson Dingley, Jr., for Governor. The plat
form adopted denounces precisely what their par
ty in Congress has been guilty of lor the last ten
years, viz : the granting of public lands by mul
tiplied millions to rail roads and canals, all sorts
of Credit Mobilier transactions, and increasing the
pay of the President and members of Congress.
They demand the repeal of the law by which the
back pay was obtained. Thus the Republicans of
Maine have adopted the very spirit and action of
the 6well-mob. The Republicans in Congress
stole the public lands, got up the Credit Mobilier
job, and passed the salary increase bill—back ac
tion grab and all—and yet the Republicans of
Maine and other States are among the very first to
raise the cry of “Stop theif!”

Gen. D. H. Hill Scaups the Monster Brown
low. —Gen. D. H. Hill, inreply to Brownlow’s
charges against him in writing a scurrilous article
about the life and character of Gen. Canby,
amongst other tbingf, has this to say :
“ Rev. Mr. Brownlow claims that the devil was
the author of secession and the Southern Confed
eracy. I rather think that it was the devil’s vice
gerent on earth, for Mr. Brownlow himself was
the first human being to recommend a Southern
Confederacy. In his zeal for slavery be wrote five
filthy letters to Rev. Mr. Pryne. In the fifth of
these letters he said:
“ ‘ I, sir, would favor an alliance with France as
a means of more effectual punishing and starving
out the Abolitionists of the North. This far-see
ing monarch of the French would unite with us
on our own terms, as it would afford him an op
portunity to crush the commerce and manufac
ture of Old England and make her teel that she is
dependent upon her ancient enemy, as well as
atone for villainous treatment of his illustrious
uncle, Napoleon Bonaparte. Dissolve the Union,
you Infamous villians, and we shall make this
propositioa at once to Louis Napoleon, a most
sagacious monarch, and he would quarter at New
Orleans 200,001) Frenchmen and at Chesapeake
200,000 more ; we would then command the Mis
sissippi Valley, whip the Northwestern States into
our Southern Confederacy, and we would then
upon the New England States, and cause the hur
ricane of civil war to rage and sweep from Mason
and Dixon’s lino to the codfisheries of Maine, un
til we would extinguish the last Abolition foot
hold on the continent of America 1 Face to face,
knife to knife, steel to steel, and pike to pike,
we would meet you, and as we would cause you
to bleed at every pore we would make you regret
in the bitter agonies of death, that you had ever
felt any concern for the African raceP
“ This letter was written six years before the
war, and it is admitted on all hands that Rev. Mr.
Brownlow was the first to use the words “South
ern Confederacy.” The reverend braggadocio did
not whip the Western States into our Southern
Confederacy, but he did cheer on, with might
and main, the Western troops in their work of
crushing that Confederacy. He did not fight" face
to face, knife to knife, steel to steel, and pike to
pike,” against “the hell-bound party.” On the
contrary, he joined that party, and applauded
them in their work of blood and devastation. He
did not lead his conquering rebels to Cape Cod,
but he clapped his hands with joy when New
England hired Germans to desolate the land of
his birth.
“ The reverend blasphemer is fond of Modoc
comparisons. There was one “ Bogus Charley” in
the Modoc gang, who sang war-6ongs and danced
the fire-dance, and—then betrayed hi 6 leader and
his kindred to their enemies. The pro slavery
renegade can scarcely fail to see the resemblance
between the traitor Indian and himself.
“The whole life of this miserable creature has
been a sham and a lie. A minister of the pure
gospel of Christ, he has belched forth nothing but
falsehood, blasphemy and obscenity. For a quar
ter of a century the self-elected champion of hu
man bondage, he has for twelve years traveled iu
loving sympathy with “the hell-hound party” of
Abolitionists. The first to suggest a Southern
Confederacy, he has been the fiercest persecutor
of Confederates. Bragging of the terrible thing
he would do in war, he 6lunk into a bomb-proof
on the strong side at the first whistle of balls.
Preaching, writing and lecturing for twenty years
that the negro was a brute, fit only for bondage,
he owes his present Senatorial honors to negro
influence. Prating all his life about honesty, he
voted for the back salary steal and took his share
of the stolen money.
“ Recreant to every trust, faithless to every ob
ligation and false to every profession, the foul
monster in his long career of wickedness has been
true only to filth, to falsehood, to slander, to
blasphemy, to blackening of character, to black
guardism, and to W. G. Brownlow.”
A New York dispatch says: A curious political
movement, which promises to be productive of
good results, has been quietly in progress for
some days past, the parties to which are a number
of prominent “ Liberal” lead ers. Under the con
viction that the time has come when something
ought to be done to determine whether they shall
maintain an independent organization or affiliate
with the other great parties, a conference was
called at Sharon at the end of June. The invita
tions, it is understood, have taken the shape of a
private and confidential circular, but as is usually
the case m matters ot this kind, someone has let
the cat out of the bag.
Some months since, it will be remembered, a
similar conference was projected in this city, but
at that time it seems to have been looked upon as
premature, aud so it fell through. But as it is
deemed essential to do something now to deter
mine the status of the party with reference to the
next tali elections, ihe proposed conference is
avmg the sanction of all, or nearly all, the lead
ers in the section.
It is understood that the Democrats are holding
aloof fiom this movement, though, of course, they
are cot d.sinterested spectators.

School Commissioner* Convention.
The State Convention of County School Com
missioners, under a call or State Superintendent
Orr, assembled in Atlanta on the 26tb, seventy
fire counties being represented.
On motion, State Superintendent Orr was
elected permanent chairman.
Reports from different counties bring called lor
the following reports were submitted :
Baker Cocntt.—Reports they are much en
couraged by the abatement of opposition to the
present school system.
Baldwin —Some schools started; interest in
creasing.
Banks. —No schools.
Bartow. —But one or two schools.
Bibb —Eighteen schools in operation ; best to
employ white teachers for colored schools.
Campbell.—Some interest manifested and or
ganization progressing.
Cherokee. —No colored schools.
Clinch. —One colored school.
Cobb —School law goes into operation early in
July.
Columbia.— Eight schools; one coloied.
Coweta. —Fifteen schools.
Newton. —Opposition from colleges.
Lincoln. —Reaction in favor of public schools;
trouble to get teachers, white or colored.
Doolt.—No schools iu cptration, hut will be
soon.
Dougherty.— System working smoothly.
Douglas.— Opposition abating; no schools.
Fannin.—No colored schools; not enough ne
groes.
Many other counties reported favorably upon
the working of the school law.
The following is the majority report of the busi
ness committee, which was finally adopted:
“That they have examined the papers and ques
tions referred to them. They find that most of
the difficulties and questions presented, are suffi
ciently explained in the law, a few of them we
have referred to Commissioner Orr, who will reply
to them at his convenience during the session of
the Convention. The Committee recommended
that the three following changes be made is the
school law of the State.
First, That the counties be authorized to levy
a tax to supplement the State appropriation.
Second, That the entire traveling expenses of the
State School Commissioner, including his board
and hotel bills, should be paid by the State.
Tnird, That the enumeration be taken once in
three years instead of annually.
The committee also recommended that the fol
lowing question be discussed by this convention l
‘How shall the school law be put into practical
operation in the different ecnntles of the State V ”
The Convention having requested Gov. Bmlth
to deliver an address, he appeared and said:
Mr. President and Gentlemen: —lt can hardly be
expected that I should undertake to give you an
address upon the subject of education. I have
made no preparation to do so, and before express
ing my views elaborately on this subject to such
an intelligent body, should bestow upon it careful
thought aud investigation. lam gratified to see
so many representatives of the school system of
Georgia here in convention assembled; it is evi
dence of the fact that there is progress and an in
creasing interest in the cause of education. The
first step in this great work is to create a feeling
of interest in the public mind. There is a grow
ing appreciation of education in our midst, which
is auspicious of still greater exertion and activity,
and it is the necessity tor increased facilities for
education that has wrought this result.
There is indeed a great work before us. What
is it? To aid in consummating the great and
grand work, th 6 importance of which all concede
to enable all the citizens of our State to procure
at least the rudiments of a common education.
Statistical information is the most reliable and,
therefore, most beneficial, and consequently I will
call your attention to some facts which it sets
forth on the subject which you are met to consider.
The census of 1870 shows that there are in the
State 315,558 people over ten years of age unable
either to read or write. The population of the
State, as shown from the same enumeration, is
1,184,109, which exhibits the amazing fact that
nearly 33X per cent of our people over ten years
of age are ignorant of even the elements of edu
cation. What an exhibit, and yet these people are
responsible, and held amenable both to the laws
of God and man. There are of whites, from the
ages of 10 to 15 years, unable to read, over 30,000.
FrUm 15 to 21 years there are 26,000 who can’t
read, and of those over 21 years unable to read
there are 62,430. Of the colored population, from
10 to 16 who are unable to read, 64,617; from 15
to 21 in similar condition, 66,108; and over 21 in
the same condition, 212,912. And yet these col
ored people have been thrown upon their own
resources, and a fearful power placed in their
hands—the same power as that exercised by the
whites iu the government, so far as their influence
aud vote goes. There are now within the State
of Georgia 407,516 children betweon the ages of 5
and 18 years, the United States school age.
Out of this number there are in attendance on
the schools of the State only 184,000. What have
we been doing, and what are we doing ? To per
form this great work of teaching the youths of the
county, we must have teachers, and they should
be teachers exclusively—should make It a business,
and devote their time and attention to it, and
these should be encouraged and sustained. How
many persdns in Georgia follow teaching f The
recoid gives it—l,Bßo. This might at first be con
sidered a favorable exhibit, bat when we remem
ber that this would give to each one 216 children
of school age, the picture changes color. Allow
ing 40 stndents to each teacher as an average,
which is quite a sufficient Dumber, 10,800 school
masters are necessary to give them instrnction.
Where will you get these teachers ? They are not
encouraged. The total amount expended in the
year 1870, for this great and paramount interest,
the educational, was $172,113. There is more than
this amount spent annually in the State for cigars;
twice that amount for whisky, and five times that
amount for worthless foreign fertilizers. Gov.
Smith stated that his remarks were far more ex
tended than he had intended they should be; that
the interest which he felt in the cause of the men
tal and moral cultivation of the people accounted
for it.
Thomas W. Fleming, of Baker county, offered
the following, which was unanimously adopted:
Recogniaing the grest Importance of securing
efficient teachers for the colored schools proposed
to be inaugurated in oar State,
Resolved, That we, the Connty Commissioners,
in convention assembled, hereby pledge the weight
of our official influence m Denali of such men of
moral worth, as may engage in this honorable
calling.
Thomas L. Lewis, of Milton, ofiered the follow
ing:
Resolved, That the majority report be so
amended as to Invoke the Legislature to provide
for the payment of salaries due teachers for ser
vices for the year 1871. Adopted.
A resolution expressing the thanks of the Con
vention for the zeal, energy and efficiency of the
present Commissioner, Gnstavus J. Orr, and the
admirable arrangement that pervades everything
pertaining to his department, was ofiered and
unanimously adopted.
Mr. J, T. Smith ofiered a resolntion of thanks
to the people of Atlanta for their courtesy and
hospitality; the railroads for their liberality in
passing the members for one fare; the reporters
of the city press for their attendance and reports
of the proceedings, and also asking the newspa
pers thronghont the State to publish the pro
ceedings.
On motion, the Convention adjourned sine die
all* o’clock p. m. on the 27th.
The reports from the different counties of the
State, reveals the fact that the general law for the
establishment of schools, has not worked well.
There seems to be some great defect in the law,
or a want of understanding as to its meaning.
Certainly the reporta to the convention clearly
show, that those counties and localities conduct
ing schools under special laws, have accomplished
the greatest amount of good; and, as a general
thing, have been more acceptable.
We think this convention will result in much
good, and in all probability, result in some lsw,
If s new one, tbst will be more generally accepta
ble to the people of the State.

Locust Grove, Ga., Oct., 30, 1872.
We, the undersigned planters, have witnessed
the operation of one of your Eclipse Cotton Gins,

Mr. Daniel P. FergusoD, of Jonesboro, writes

Ihave your gin running. * * * I can say it
is the best 1 have ever seen run. It cleans the
seed perfectly. 1 have been raised in a gin house,
and I believe I know all about what should be
expected in a first class cotton gin. I can gin live
hundred pounds of lint inside of sixty minutes.
The first two bales ginned weighed 1100 pounds,
from 3010 pounds seed cotton, bagging and ties
included.

fullest expectations, and doeß all you promised it
would do. We have ginned one hundred and six
teen bales on it, and it has never choked nor broken
the roll. It picks the seed clean and make3 good
lint. %We have had considerable experience with
various kinds of cotton gins, and can, with safety,
say yours is the best we have ever seen run.
