“Wliat is the Matter wilhftlio
Boys ?”
What ails the boys of the Sixth
District ? Were none of them wil
ling to accept a cadetship at West
Point, or none considered worth}’
of it? It would appear so, as Mr.
Price has put in one from the
Seventh District. Through Radi
cal villainy, the Sixth District was
longer without representation than
any other District of the State;
and now that we are finally recog
nized as a part of Georgia, it is a
little hard that wo should be snub
bed by our own Representative.
Rut the following paragraph,
copied from the Macon Telegraph,
shows how the matter stands :
“Mr. E A. Gailington, of At
lanta, a student in the State Uni
versity, has been designated by
the faculty of the University, on
the invitation of Congressman
Price, of the 6th District, as a
candidate for admission as a cadet
at West Point, llow about the
cadet residing in the District in
which he is credited, Mr. Price?
Isn’t this ‘carpet bagging’ after a
mild fashion ?” Walcliman.
We copy the foregoing from the
Athens Watchman, and while we
agree with brother Christ v, that
the appointment ought to have
been made from this District, we
feel that it is hut justice to our
Representative, Col. Price, to state
that it has been our information
that this appointment lias gone beg
ging for at least twelve months.
Wo understand that two young
men from our county have been
offered the appointment; one of
them ascertained that lie was not
sufficiently advanced to enable
him to enter and therefore lit: de
clined to present himself for ex
amination.
The other one, Mr. James Thom
as, the youngest son of Col. 11. P.
Thomas, of the 10th Ga. lteg’t,
who was killed in the attack on
Fort Saunders, near Knoxville,
Tenn., in November, 1863,received
the appointment and went on to
West Point and submitted to an
examination, and although lie was
a stout, athletic young man, of fine
form, he was rejected because the
physicians thought lie was liable
to have consumption. And yet no
member of the family has ever
been known to be affected with
that disease.
Voung Mr. Thomas says, that
this was but a sham, and a pretext
for his exclusion, for no objection
was made until it was ascertained
that his father was killed in the
Confederate service. And lie, on
his return, informed us that lie saw
a number of boys there, whom “he
could have tied."
After making the examination,
the surgeon asked him, “if Ins fa
ther was living?’’
lie answered, “No."
“From what disease did he die?’’
“lie did not die of any disease,
but was tilled.”
“When was he killed and
where ?"
“lie was Colonel of the 16th
G’a Reg’t, and was killed at Knox
ville, Tenn., at the head of his
Regiment."
“\Vell, well,” says the surgeon,
‘that will do—we will make our
report by to morrow.”
When to morrow came, he was
notified that he was not accepted,
and accordingly returned home.
He evidently did not belong to
the sort of stock they wanted.
Wo presume they preferred to
have some uegro to represent the
Cth Congressional District of
Georgia, rather than a son of one
of the “fallen braves” of the “lost
cause.”
We have been Informed that
this appointment has been offered
to others, among them, to a son ot
Col. McMillan, of Habersham. —
Perhaps Col. Price, when the facts
are understood, may not be as
much to blame in this matter, as
at the first blush would be pre
sumed.
Railroad Mkbtinb —Macon and
Kxoxvu.lk Kaimioad. —What says
iho citizens of Clarke to the propo
sition to hold a Haiiroad meeting at
an early day to take steps towards
so<' n ring the location of the Macon
and Knoxville Haiiroad via Monti
cello, Madison, Athens, Clayton, Ac !
If proper representations were made
at head qnaters, we think something
might he done to secure a favorable
consideration of this project, ns it is
not only the most direct, but infinite
ly the cheapest route to the Great
West.
This Hoad would he of great local
importance to the people of Clarke
county particularly that portion
of it lying South of Athens, and we
have no doubt that heavy subscrip
tions might ho secured in Clarko
and M organ.
Let us then have a meeting, »i an
early day, and send a committee to
Macon to urge the matter upon the
attention of the coqwjratoni, Ac.
Let there he a full turn out of ail
who feel an interest in the matter,
and who does not ?— Watchman.
Rro. Christy is waking up to the
importance of this road rather late.

jit must go by Covington and Law

For the Gwinnett Herald.
Hold on to the Plow.
Mr Editor: Men in all voea
| tions feel an interest in agricul
i lure; and it is well, for Upon it all
are dependant. Rut this interest
is not what it should be. Some of
I the representative farmers of Geor
i gia were told, in Rome last An
! gust, what ought to be impressed
ion the minds of all farmers, and
especially on the minds of the
i young men of tiiis calling, viz:
i that many farmers, if not the
: most, were anxiously looking for
i the time, when they may engage
l in other business. All must ad
mit, this ought not so to be.
Wo are told that farming does
nit pay. If farmers do not suc
ceed, who can? Is there more
success among doctors? If far
mers toiled day and night as doc
tors do, what happy results the
country would soon display ! The
practice of law entices multitudes.
And many there are eagerly pur
suing it, and many others would
! gladly be numbered with this host.
Roys are wont to think a lawyer
to be “a prince among men.” Af
ter a young man spends his inher
itance in the practice of law, ami
arrives at the point, when his
i “bread” must come from his suc
cessful labor, and ho faces a grim
judge, and careless jury, and a
number of older lawyers ready
I “to pick him up,”* and he most
' sadly fails in his effort, I would
ask if he now feels very lordly ?
lie thinks now it is not such a
great thing, after all, to be a law
yer. Rut “there’s room in the up
per story.” True; but there is no
stairway, and few arc good at
climbing. So of all kinds of bus
iness. They are not what ‘they
seem to be. Still human nature
likes something new. It is apt to
he the case with these professions,
and all business indeed, as with
new and untried countries; the
good and favorable circumstances
are told, and the disadvantages
arc not fully known till they are
experienced.
Let youngs men, and old ones
also, remember that there are dif
ficulties to be encountered in every
vocation, not only in farming, and
the road that leads to success is
one in which there are many im
pediments and rugged heights to
ascend. Why is it, Mr. Editor,
that farmers do)not succeed? 1
believe you and many of your le
gal fraternity have, to some ex
; tent, gone to farming in connec
tion with law. Many of our peo
ple are sound in their theory of
farming, but alas! how different
their practice! They hold that it
is the I lest policy to cultivate
small areas of land, and increase,
to the highest degree, its fertility.
Rut what is their practice? Plant
all, possible, and consequently
| half-work it. This method ex
-1 hansts the fertility of the soil,
without improvement; it wears
; out the stock used, and little is
made for winter use; and man’s
life and labor are altogether van
j ity and vexation of spirit.
And these are not all the evil
spirits, that disturb our prosper*
| ity. We cherish still the delusion
that “cotton is king.” This is our
practice, but not our theory. It
is sound at this point. “Live at
home,” with crib and meat-house
l of your own. Sow grasses and
1 clover, and mure than a quart to
■ the acre, and that on good land.
Another difficulty is, that far
mers du not act together. This
| tiling of forming themsclres into
clubs, is a good move. Rut docs
; it go far enough to meet all our
| wants? We need badly some
thing more. If farmers <m//*iuake
cotton tqan extent, that they have
corn, meat, etc , to buy, let them
arrange it so the speculator will
not grow rich in a day at their ex
pense. Is it not a good sugges
tion for clubs South to act directly
with North-western clubs. Far
mers’ profits fill the purses of
speculators. The farmer is a com
mon object of imposition. Let
him look to these matters and take
courage. May farmers be our first
men.

Humphrey Marshall’s Death.
Hon. Humphrey Marshall died
at his residence iu this city at 2:36
o’clock yesterday afternoon, of
general acute bronchitis. The
city v. as startled by the announce
ment, for his illness was of such
short duration that few hud even
| heard of it.
General Marshall went to Frank
furl a week ago yesterday, on pro
fessional business. On Friday lie
ate a hearty dinner and retired to
his room for an afternoon nap.
When he a Woke he found himself
suffering from a severe burning
anil smothering sensation iu the
breast. These symtoms Continued
to affect him so severely that he
caine home on Saturday and took
to his bed. l)r. Force was called
in on Monday and attended him
during his short and fatal illness.
The smothering sensation contin
ued so severe that the doors and
windows of the sick chamber were
kept open both day and night.—
Mrs. Marshall, his wife, was in
Mercer County at the time, and
though sent for as soon as the
General’s indisposition became
j dangerous, could not arrive until
after his death. Two daughters
. and one son and other members
of the family, however, were at
his bedside, lie suffered severely,
was very restless, and sal upright
in his bod much of his time. lie
seemed aware several days ago of
his approaching end, ai.d awaited
it calmly. Yesterday afternoon
one of his daughters., Mrs. Strader,
assisted him to rise up in the bed,
and while resting upou her arm lie
suddenly remarked, “It is all over,”
and then dropping baek upon the
pillow died without a struggle.—
The body, after being laid out, was
visited during the afternoon by a
large number of the members of
! the bar and prominent citizens,
j The General has been in feeble
i health during the whole of the
past winter, and on several occa
sions got out of a sick bed to at
tend to important professional du
ties.
Humphrey Marshall was horji
at Frankfort, Ky., on tlio 13th of
! January, 1812. lie was the sec
ond son of lion. John J. Marshall,
who afterwards moved to Louis
ville, and was for a long time
Judge of the Jefferson Circuit
i Com t. lie was grandson of Hum
j pluey Marshall, the author of the
I “History of Kentucky,” which
t was published in two volumes, at
J Frankfort, in 1824, and which was
! the first history of this B;ate ever
i given to the public. In 1828 lie
j was sent to the Military Academy
at West Point-, where lie graduated
in 1832. While at West I’oint one
of his classmates, under the infill
ence of liquor, got into a barber’s
shop and broke and destroyed
prettv much everything. The of
ien.se was a grave one under the
rigid rules of the academy, but
who did the mischief and who was
to bo punished for it was a ques
tion. The whole class was called
up and each one required to tell if
he knew who did it. Mr. Marshall,
when it came to bis turn, said lie
knew who did it, hut declined to
tell, lie was told that if he knew
and would not tell he would bo
expelled, lie refused to disclose
I the author of the mischief and was
] expelled. Rut when the informa
tion reached Chief-Justice Mar
shall, of Virginia, who was his
relative, and President Jackson,
the friend of the family, young
Humphrey was restored to his
place in the academy, and rather
I honored than disgraced for not
informing on his classmate.—
When lie graduated at West Point
he went into the Rlackhawk war,
and was stationed at Davenport,
Minnesota. But the life of the
soldier became disagreeable to him
and he left the service, and the 23d
of January, 1833, was married to
Miss Francis McCalJister, daugh
ter of Charles McCallister, of
Franklin, Tennessee. Soon after
his marriage he began the study
of the law with his father, and in
April, 1833, after close study of
j but a few months was admitted to
i the bar. lie acquired legal knowl
edge with wonderful rapidity, and
in a short time became a formidable
legal adversary. In 1546 he was
a colonel in the Mexican war, thus
showing that the military educa
tion he had received hud created
a taste for the field which civil life
lic-d not entirely deadened. At the
close of the war he returned to
the practice of the law, which con
tinued until 1849, when he made
the race for Congress in this dis
trict against Dr. Lane, and was
elected. The contest was warm and
the race close. Mr. Marshall was
elected by only a small majority,
and, indeed, it was for some time
uncertain whether he or his oppo
nent had been successful. During
the administration of President
Fillmore, he was sent as commis
sioner to China, whence he return
ed to resume the practice of law
at the national capital. It was
his intention to settle himself per
manently in Washington, and de
vote himself principally to prac
tice in the Supreme Court. Ho
was diverted from this, however,
being elected to Congress from the
Louisville district in 1855, and
again in 1857. It was his infill
once that caused the abolition of
the secret feature in the Know
Nothing organization. The rebel
lion came on in ISGI, and inter
fered with the arrangements of
nearly all men. Mr. Marshall
joined the Southern cause, and in
September, 1861, made bis way
South, when lie was appointed a
brigadier-general in the Confede
rate service lie afterwards re
signed his position in the army,
and resumed the practice of the
law at Richmond. Here he was
elected to the Confederate Con
giess, and was a member of that
body when it went to pieces amid
the wrecks of tin period. At the
close of the war General Marshall
returned to Kentucky and was
among the first of the Confede
rates whose disabilities were re
moved. lie then resumed the
practice of the law in Louisville,
and in the circuit courts of the
counties of Oldham, Ilcnry, Shel
by, and Owen, which lie found
very remunerative, and in which
he was very successful.
New College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts.
Under the act of the General As
sembly approved December 12,
1866, the Governor of Georgia is
empowered to sell the land scrip
and to invest and appropriate its
proceeds for the maintainance of
such a college as was contempla
ted by the Congressional grant of
land. The scrip would have been
forfeited before the meeting of the
Legislature in July, and hence
pr nipt action was necessary to
save this valuable fund. No other
institution in the State was in a
condition to receive the fund ex
cept lue State University, and it
was therefore appropriated by the
Governor to the University.
At a full meeting of the Board
on yesterday the new Georgia
State College of Agriculture and
Mechanic arts was organized by
the trustees of the University, the
act of organization complying
most stiicily with the forms ot the
donation by Congress. It is a
distinct college, special in its ob
jects, and devoted to the wise and
great ends contemplated by the
act of Congress. Among other
most liberal features iu tlie organ
ization of the college is free tui
tion for more than two hundred
young men of Georgia. It will go
into operation by May Ist, 1872,
under a provisional organization.
At the next meeting of the faculty
in August, the entire organization
will be completed
Prof. W. Leroy Browne is the
President of the faculty of the
now college under the provisional
organization, and a most excellent
selection.
This disposition of the Agricul
tural land scrip, settles a very
vexed question. Governor Smith
deserves gieat credit for his ac
tion. It was necessary to decide
the matter before July. A called
session of the General Assembly
would have cost nearly as much
as the scrip was worth, hence he
had to act. To have given it to
Dahlonega, Marietta or Milledgc
ville, was out of the question, as
the institutions at these places are
not incorporated, and Governor
Smith has no power to incorpo
rate. To have discriminated De
tween the denominational colleges
would have been invidious. The
Governor, therefore, was in an
emeigency where he must assume
the renponsibility of acting to
save the State her land scrip, un
der these circumstances, as the
onl}’ possible alternative. He se
lected the State University as the
location of the Agricultural Col
lege, and the beneficiary of the
Agricultural land scrip.
There has been an impression on
the minds of some persons that
the time had elapsed, but by an
examination of the Act of 1862,
it will he seen that this is errone
ous.— Constitution.
New York Liberal Republican
Manifesto.—The Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun says
the manifesto issued by Horace
Greeley, Conkling, Selden and other
Now York Republicans, endorsing
the Cincinnati Convention, has
created a decided impression in poli
tical cirelos at Washington —all par
ties admitting that the New York
delegation is one of great ability and
character, and calculated to give im
portant direction and strength to
the Cincinnati movement. Gen.
Grant, on the contrary, attaches
S very little importance .to the defec
| tion of the Greeley clique of politi
cians. In conversation, on Saturday,
with a radical Senator, he said this
new demonstration did not surprise
him. as he had been advised several
days ago of what was coming, nor
did he believe it would result itt
much injury to the Republic*party.
Indeed, be thought that now these
men had left the Republican regular
organization, the party could see
exactly whero it stood and who it
would have to fight; and, as for him
self, he did not fear the result. The
same correspondent says the willing
ness of this manifesto to waive such
features of parly platform as tariff
planks strikes favorably all the politi
cians who have been insisting lhat
the Cincinnati Convention must not
deal in “non-csseuiials.”
Congress.
Washinton, April 2.—ln the
Senate Robertson submitted a letter
addressed to himself and Swayze, from
Generals Wade Hampton, Kershaw
and M. C. Butler, of South Carolina,
denying that they were connected
with the Ku Iviux organization, or
ever had been.
Blair remaiked that the Senator
from Vermont (Mr. Edmunds) had
in the same deflate and at the same
time charged that the counsel em
ployed to defend tire prisoners in
South Carolina (Hon. Reverdv |
Johnson and Hon. Henry Stanbery)
had become disgusted with the crimes j
which wore proven against their
clients, and had abandoned tlie case.
He then sent to the desk to he read
a letter of the date ofFebuary 19th,
1872, addressed by Mr. Johnson to
the statement of Mr. Edmunds, which
he says is utterly incorrect and un
founded. So far from having aha ns
dotted the case, lie says that Mr.
Stanbery and himself remained in
Columbia until their mission was
consummated. He also sa.ys that
there was neither the slightest tes
o
timony nor suspicion to connect the
three gentlemen to whom allusion
had been made ns having any con
cern with the Ku Klux movements, \
and lie is satisfied that Mr. Edmunds, i
whom he knows would not con
scientiously do an injustice, lias
been egregiously wrong. Edmunds
said that common report had said
lhat Messrs. Johnson and Stanbery
had abandoned the case, and be
believed it then and with all due
deference he believed it now. Con
cerning his statements as to the
three persons alluded to, he had
been creditably informed that evidence
to criminate them was in the pos
session of the officers of the Govern
ment, and would he produced at the j
proper time. Blair was satisfied j
that there was rio such evidence, I
and these gentlemen had come to
Washington demanding to he
confronted with the charges. Ed
munds oulv repeated what ire had
been informed. If the gentlemen
could prove their innocence ho would
be very glad of it.
II- II- J., of the Macon Tele
graph, writes from New York to his
paper that not a shadow of doubt rests
upon the enterprise of building the Macon
and Knoxville raihoad. He says : Two
very wealthy London bankers, and seve
ral other capitalists from this city, will
furnish the means bona fide, so that ail
labor expenses can be metjus the work
progresses, either weekly or monthly.
We learn it is the intention of these geir»
tlemen to form a regular banking and
trust company, which will do business in
connection with the road. Mr. Wad ley
is not opposed to the enterprise, as (lie
writer heard him say a short time since,
mid when completed it willjfnrin a feeder
to ail the roads now leading out of .Macon.
North Georgia anticipates the largest
wheat crop ever raised in that section.
