Last week we briefly called attention to Col. Findley’s advertisement. An offer to sell such property as that described, deserves something more than a passing notice, and it is a pleas ing duty to make further reference to it. The description in the advertisement conveys but a meager idea of the beauty and value of the property—indeed, it is above pen painting, ami it is our purpose only to say that it is the most desirable homestead in all Northern Georgia. The mansion is situated in a lovely grove, within three hundred yards of the Court House, iu this city, and was con structed with especial view to comfort, con venience and ornamentation, and the grounds around it are picturesque and beautiful. The lands connected with the places offered for sale, are very fertile and iu a high state of cultivation. The whole property is desirable, and cannot fail to please porsons of taste who may seek a home in this lovely Piedmont region. The Executive Committee of the Baptist Convention of the State of Georgia, and the Mayor of our city, accompanied by Rev. W. C. Wilkes, met in Atlanta, last Wednesday, and very satisfactorily arranged for pushing forward, at once, the enteprise of our Female Seminary. It is gratifying to be able to state that the Executive Committee was very cor dial in extending to us every possible facility and encouragement; and they are very san guine of our success. The necessary steps were taken ta secure, as a general agent for the whole state of Georgia, Dr. W. AI. Whar ton, who has been so successful iu collecting a large endowment for the Theological Semi nary, located iu Greenville, S. C. We expect to hear more fully from our Mayor and others next week. Coerbction. —Rev. T. P. Reynolds’ lecture on Astronomy, will be delivered on the first Monday in August, at New Holland, and not the first Sunday, as formerly stated. It was also an error that he “would prove the world is flat.” His theory is that the globe is round, but does not revolve on its axis. The sun, he maintains, circles tho earth every twenty-four hours. All - . Reynolds is a brainy man, a deep thinker and a startling talker.

This world-re nowned preparation is for sale by all drug gists.—Record, Red Oak, lowa. Aii Editorial Brutus. An editor out West indulges in the follow ing talk to his subscribers and patrons. The famous speech of Brutus, on the death of Ctesar, rendered by Shakspeare, is made to do service in this amusing travesty: “Hear us for our debts, aud get ready that you may pay; trust us, we have need, as you have long been trusted; acknowledge your indebtedness, and dive into your pockets,that you may promptly fork over. If there be any among you—-one single patron—that don’t owe us anything, then to him we say: Step aside, coufess yourself a gentleman. If the rest wish to know why we dnn them this is our auswer: Not that we care about ourselves, but our cieditors do. Would you rather that we went to jail and you go free, than that you pay your debts and keep us moving V As we agreed, we have worked for you; as we con tracted, we have furnished the paper to yon; but as you don’t pay we dnn you. Here are agreements for job work, contracts for sub scription, promises lor long credit, aud duns for deferred payment. Who is there so green that he don’t take a paper V If any, he need not speak, for we don’t mean him. Who is there so green that he don’t advertise ! If any, let him slide; he ain’t the chap either. Who is there so mean that he don’t pay the printers ? If any, let him speak, for he is the man we’re after.” TIIE TEACHERS’ SERIES—No. 1. Letter from Forsyth County. The Seasons and the Crops—Laying By— Implements of 7 oil Put Aside—The Summer’s Rest—Eager Desire for Education—Opening of the Schools. Near Cumming, Forsyth County, Ga. , July 10, 1877. Editor Gainesville Eagle: Perhaps a few dots from this section would be reai by some of your rtaders. The weather is exceedingly dry, and crops are needing rain very badly. Corn crops are late but growing fast, and the prospect is good, provided the season is favor able. Cotton is small but healthy and vigor ous. The wheat Crop is the most abundant that lias been harvested for years. The peo ple are now finishing the field labor of the summer—the crops are laid by and left to the farther process of maturity, with au earnest prayer for the refreshing rains and a bounte ous yield. The longed for time has come, —the time for rest, recreation and social and business intercourse with the parents, aud the season of festivity with the children. The thought of rest from the long weary days of toil is a happy reflection. The luscious ripening fruit of varied tint and taste, fills them with pleas ing anticipations. But higher aims, purer in tentions and holier desires seem to move them. One determined, fixed and holy pur pose seems to course, like a silver thread, through all the meandering vicissitudes of their being, through all their childish reveries aud youthful day-dreams of happiness—a de sire for education. The public schools have opened under favorable and encouraging aus picos. The new arithmetic and slate, the new Graded reader aud other books have been purchased, the hair shiugled and the necessary equipage neatly arranged. Bearing, with toil hardened hand, the tidy dinner basket, while the honest sweat trickles from the sunburnt brow, the little bare feet burry, with elastic step, to the newly established school. Respectfully, Scholasticus. OCR COMMENCEMENT. Exercises at the Gainesville Cc liege. Discipline and Training Carried to a High State of Perfection—Proficiency of the Students—Pleasing Entertain ments—Present Condition and Prospects of Ihe School. Last week the Eagle went to press in the midst of the most interesting exercises of our College commencement, and we could do no more than chronicle the programme up to that hour. The exercises continued till Friday night— increasing in interest each day to the closing scene of tho rare feast so admirably prepared by Prof. LaHatte and assistants, and so grate fully enjoyed by our entire population. If perfect recitations, well written and admir ably read compositions, and average declama tion be evidence of qualification and high culture in teachers, and studiousness and proficiency in pupils, the patrons of the College and all the friends of the institution found ample proof in these exercises, and may congratulate themselves on having one of the best conducted, best disciplined and most successful schools in Georgia. There was no printed programme or pre-arranged order of examination, and yet the business progressed with the regularity of clock work, and promiscuous problems were solved with the promptness of experts. Questions in his tory, geography, grammar, literature, sufehce and philosophy were propounded without premeditation and answered without hesita tion. There were no dullards in tho classes; no exposition of opportunities neglected; no exhibition of defective discipline; no demon stration of improper training. THE DISCIPLINE. Prof. LaHatte is certainly a disciplinarian, and the wonder is how he enforces so many rigid but wholesome rules in his school, without seeming harshness and without arraying uukindness against himself. We have never witnessed more harmonious cider or more perfect discipline in any school ex hibition, nor have we observed kindlier dela tions between teachers and pupils. Respect for their teachers marked the conduct oi the boys and girls, of all ages; while their iaan ners, their prt mpt obedience and their manifest interest iu the difficult but pleasing exercises, satisfied the large audiences that daily attended them, that their trainingjwas faultless and their culture gratifying. If Biere be pupils or patrons who now feel tha# the restraints and requirements of this inexeriible discipline, are not necessary to high culture and to the making of character, the time will come when they will appreciate its import ance and bless the good man who, for their good, conceived the system and had: the moral courage to carry it out. ENTERTAINMENTS. Alondny, Wednesday and Friday evoiings were devoted to music, tableaus, dialogues, and histrionics. Alany charming little forces and comedies were creditably rendered tyy tho young gentlemen and young ladies df the advanced classes, under the supervision of Prof. LaHatte; and on Friday evening} Bul wer’s beautiful play, entitled ‘The Lady of Lyons,’was produced and delighted a large aud appreciative audience. The piece was cast as follows: Alelnotte—B, 11. Whelehel. Col. Damas—George Langston. Boseaunt—Walten Henderson. Glavis—George McCarty. Mons. Dischapelles—Frank Boyd. Landlord—W. C. Smith. Gasper— Joe Bell. Pauline—Miss Mattie Langston. Alad. Dischapelles—Aliss Lnln Bron-. 'muuvt iucniOut) —miss jvioine Gaines. Jeanet—Aliss Ula Deadwyler. This is a five act drama, and one of tho finest of the English productions. Withal it is one of the most difficult to render accept ably to critical audiences. It has had a long life upon the American stage, and still holds its place among the most popular doiiestic melodramas. The best actors and actresses have found, in its beautiful imagery, eloqient language, spirited iucident, thrilling pahos and splendid denouement ample scope fortheir highest powers, and many of them Lave achieved fame and fortune in the persina tions of Meluotte aud Pauline. It seened, therefore, a little daring on the part of tiese young school boys and girls to attempt sich a piece, and their friends were not over an guine that they could get through it at .11, much less with credit to themselves and tfeir training; but they were most agreeably <ls aopointed. Not one of the east ever saw he play on the boards, and, we believe, not oe of them ever witnessed a theatrical perfora auce by artists. They had the sympathy ola generous audience, however, and were warc ly supported by attention and appreciation As an amateur performance, it was admi able—as a sdhool exhibition it was a succes; as a village entertainment it was most enjo,- able. The dramatis persona: were well up i their parts, and required but little prompt ing, while the business of the play wen smoothly through without a marring bluude or an embarrassing frustration. At 11 o’clock, Meluotte pronounced thi beautiful lines: “Ah ! the same love thst tempts Inti sin, If it be true love, works out its own reilemntion; Aud he who would seek repentance for the past. Must woo the Angel virtu* in the future.’’ The curtain fell, and the exercises of the fourth annual commencement of Gainesville | College past into Academic history. CONDITION AND PROSPECTS OF THE COLLEGE. The College, as it exists at present, is in a very prosperous condition, and our substan tial citizens are proud of it as an institution of the city. It is generally believed that in the hands of its present efficient officers it will prove to be an entire success, aud iu a few years rank with the best and wealthiest Colleges iu the State. The President-,—LaHalto, is in direct charge of the entire College, and occu pies the ‘Chair of Mathematics;’ Rev. T. P. Cleveland that of ‘Latin and Greek,’ aud Miss Alice Lallatte that of ‘Music.’ Miss Lizzie Richards is principal of the primary depart ment, aud Mr. J. F. Boyd, general assistant We learn that the Faculty will remain the same, at least for the present year, except that Dr. H. S. Bradley has been added to it as lecturer ou chemistry and physics. One hundred aud thirty-seven students were en rolled during the term; of these, about one hundred and fifteen were regular iu attend ance, and a happier, better disposed set of young people were never brought together. The future prospects are very good. Prof. Lallatte expects nearly all the students to return next session, and quite a large number of new ones have already applied for admis sion. He thinks the present number could be doubled, if money was not so scarce. Tuition must be paid promptly or the stu dent’s name is marked off the College roll. As it is, however, there are enough people in the city who know how to value au educatiou, and who are able to pay, to insure a local patronage. The number of boarding students is not yet very large, but gradually increasing, and it is thought that by next year this class of students will be quite large. We are pleased to learn that there is a movement on foot to organize a Plow and Agricultural Implement Manufactory, in this city, with a capital of SIOO,OOO. THE ULTRA MONTAXES. A Slashing Rill from the Mountains—The Eagle—YYe Roys on the Right Side- Righting Things Up—The Con vention— Reunval— Bob Toombs. Blairsyille, Ga., July 12, 1877. Editor Gaikesyille Eagle : Ever since the Gainesville Eagle was listened, it has been a great favorite with us mountain boys—espe cially with those that were on the right side, (and you know our side was the right side.) And we—l mean we boys on the right side— were powerful sorry when our favorite bird turned against us on the Con. Con. question; but we could not say much, because the Eagle was our bird. But when the fight was over, and all the folks said through the ballot box that our side was right, and the Eagle came out and said he reckoned we were, then we all said bully for our bird, for w’e knew he would come up all right at last. But then there is another great question to come up soon, and we don’t ktiow r whether we and our bird will agree or not; but then our folks will settle the little fuss again, and we will still be a happy family. The Eaglets our bird, and if he does fly oft' a little once in a while, we will just let him sail—he’ll come back all right after awhile. But we had well talk a little about this little matter ty*t will he, ,, L ‘. r 'be settled seon bjf g ?m£t>odvi have things ?' were done by military order, when Jefl'. Davis or Gen. Gordon wasn’t consulted, and when we boys on the right side were tied hand and foot, and told by military order to stand back and let Cuffy have his day—l tell you all these things have to be righted up, for Cuffy, the scalawags and the carpet-baggers, and so ou had a powerful time, and done a heap of queer things that don’t exactly suit us boys on the right side, aud we have started in now to right them all up. Aud when the boys ou the right side take a notion to do a thing, there’s no use talking to them. They will go right along. They wont even listen to their own bird, nor to anybody else’s bird that don’t siug to suit them—nor they wont listen to the South Run paper neither, nor the Charley Phillipses, nor the Days, nor the Nights—iu fact, nothing from the Eagle to the Crane. Well, in the first place, they are going back to Milledgeville to our ‘Father’s house,’ that was built with hands, and poweiful honest old hands at that. I tell you, Air. Editor, that old house will have a powerful influence over our folks. When they get there aud look around the old walls, and see those honest old faces stairing down on Ihepn, they will think about the good old times we used to have, aud it will bring a sort of Christian feel ing over them, and they will naturally say to themselves, “we must try to imitate them or their ghosts will hauut us at every corner of this sacred old building.” On the contrary, when they go into the old Opera House at Atlanta, they will be thinking of Bullock aud Blodgett, and the host of big rogues and little rogues, white rogues and black rogues that used to assemble there; and they will think of the number of gentlemen—God save the mark—that are now wearing purple and fine linen, and faring sumptuously every day on the proceeds of the sale of the Opera House. Three hundred and eighty thousand dollars, and of the Governor’s Alansiou another hun dred thousand—all this spliced out by one hundred and two thousand appropriated since for repairs, and many other things too tedious to mention, they will feel a little inclined to want a little handful of the trash themselves; aud I tell you, Mr. Editor, a majority of them wont retrench worth a cent. And then Atlanta lobby fellows are so sharp, that if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect themselves. But laying all jokes aside, let us sell the Opera House and the Governor’s Mansion, aud the Western and Atlantic Railroad, (if Joseph and the other big folks will let us,) aud the Alac.ou and Brunswick Railroad, aud everything else that the State owns, that she has no use for, and pay off the State debt and owe no more. I tell you, Air. Editor, wo boys on thi right side are getting powerful tired of paying seven hundred thousand dollars every year for the sake of getting back this hundred thousand. We boys on the light side can’t see the point, especially whea we see that a few big folks, that have plenty of money now, pockets the other four hundred thousand at our expense. ’Twont do, sir. Our old women now can’t have coffee more than one morniDg in the week for six months iu the year ; aud our boys on the right side say that if this thing holds on much longer, it will be good bye coffee and howdy do rye Rye coffee was powerful good when our Jeff', was feeding us on it. We would sweeten it with sorghum, drink it and smack our lips, and tell the Yankees we didn’t care a darn. Dot. it a—u go down so well when our own folks are feed ing us on it. No, sir—’twont do. We boys on the right side are going to sell all this trash and pay up, aud then here goes for four or five-tenths of one per cent, tax; and after paying to run the government at Alilledgeville according to the good old days, we will take the balance for a school fund, and in place of paying it out to New York and Scowhegan, and the hub aud Liverpool aud London, and everywhere else but in Georgia, we boys on the right side will pay it out to our school masters at home. Aud we boys on the light side ain’t a going to have any head boss over it to spend fitty or sixty thousand dollars for salary, clerk hire and talking to the big folks, and for printing something that we boys don’t iee. No, sir—’twont do. But our good old folks like Grandpa Charles J. and Uncle Bob, and Cousin Tatum and Cousin Lucius J., and our brother Carlton J., aud many others of the true blue will be there; and Mr. Editor, ).'ou bet they’ll make out. If they dou’t.ae masses of the R. fe. s’ uid i-ito l “ ( Uncle Bob IwmSs, that we boyshm the right side had a meeting up here the other day, aud did most solemnly, unanimously and numer ously resolve, swear and declare, that by these presents he was fully, permanently and ever lastingly pardoned for all them sins that he never committed. And we want you to send word to Gov. Colquitt to issue his proclama tion accordingly. Lovingly yours, O. R. Fruit Drying.—Wo can give to our readers no more valuable information than that teaching them how to dry and preserve their fruit. On the lirst -page of this paper will be found a good article ou the subject, and we would call special attention to the advertise ment of Messrs. Oliver & McDonald, offering to the public “The great American Fruit Dryer,”—a remark able aud most valuable invention for the rapid drying of all kinds of fruit. This is a wonderful little house, and those, who have use 1 it, give wonder ful accounts of its capabilities and great value. We cannot too strongly urge the people to save their fruit, nor too highly commend the Dryer. Go and examine it. Convention Do’s. We mingled with the Convention delegates on Tuesday, and got unre served expressions on several leading subjects. They are hopelessly divided on the homestead. Middle and lower Georgia cling to the present exemp tion, and will fight to the death to maintain it. Upper Georgia demands a great reduction, and would prefer the ante-bellum exemption law. If homestead prevails, anti-home stead will vote against ratification, and nice- versa. We found a strong current in favor of reducing the terms of office—the Governor to two and Judges to four years—beginning at the expiration of the term of the present Executive. The new and alers are few iD number and had but little to say. The selection of Superior Court Judges will be given to the Legisla ture, or to the people; and there was a heavy drift in favor o fgiving the elec tion of all the State House officers to the people. The Executive will cer tainly bo relieved of his embarassing patronage. Agriculture will be carefully pro vided for; and it pleased us to discover a decided sentimont for the support of Agricultural schools. State aid to private works of inter nal improvement will be prohibited, and municipalities will be rigidly re stricted in the creation of corporation indebtedness. Upon these points, there seemed to be but little division. joining, and are going to thing* that Education is strong in the hearts of the delegates, and a vigorous system will be provided for. The present com mon school system will be changed and perfected, but not destroyed, though there is much opposition to it among the members of Southwestern and Northeastern Georgia. Why any man from this section can oppose a liberally andowed educational system, passes comprehension; and we doubt if those who do will bo able to give satisfactory reasons to their constituents. The proposition to sell the State Road, the M. & B. Road, the Gover nor’s Mansion, and other State prop erty to pay off the public debt, had but few supporters. We several times collided with a bold current on the convict question. If there is any way to do it, the con tract with the present lessees will be vacated, and some wiser disposition made of the convicts. On the subject of removal, we had no difficulty in getting decided con victions. Removal has a large follow ing, and it is just possible that the question may be submitted to a vote dehors the Constitution. There was more feeling evinced on this subject than any other, and its submission will irevitably stir up all the bad-blood in the State, and make strange Doliti cal bed-fellows. Whether it be sub mitted along with the Constitution, or at a different election, the Constitution will have to carry it on its back through the fiercest conflict that ever divided and bedeviled a people. We believe the anti-removalists are strong enough to retain that part of the present Con stitution, making Atlanta the Capital, provided they have the moral courage to resist the plausible, but deceptive, theory of submitting the isolated issue to the ordeal of a popular vote. It will be defeated, if submitted, but the mischief will be none the less disas trous. The Convention is by no means a harmonious body, and many of the members expressed grave apprehen sions of the possibility of agreeing upon a Constitution that the people will ratify. There was some disgust at the introduction of so much trash for sAnnU.nre in the committee l’joms, but the wise ones shruggeu meu shoulders, and said there must be escape valves for gas and bunkum in all deliberative bodies! We havn’t a doubt that a good Con stitution will be constructed, but it is scarcely possible to secure unanimity in Convention or general endorsement out of it. The committees will prob ably complete their work early next week, and then we shall begin to see what we shall see. Summer Visitors.
