FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,1371.
' Wtllher are We Blowing?
We thinlc we can safety say without
fear of Contradiction that the ‘oldest in
habitant' has no recollcotion of ever hav
ing witnessed such an August as the
one now expiring. Indeed the year
1871 so far, and the two or three years
immediately preceding, can bo proupunc
ed strange and astonishingly irregular
exhibitions of nature’s old fashioned
ways. The time haß been, and it is of
6ucb recent existence that the youngster
of fifteen summers should bear it in
mind—when a storm or a rain was a
thing that came in the course of
atmospheric influences, orderly and time
ly— heralded by the Moon’s quartcr
ings—the points from which the wind
blew-4-the ‘mare’s tails'—murky hori
zons, and unusual noises suddenly and
more distinctly heard, of water falls—
saw mills and the like—and they blew
sometimes violently and at other times
caused freshets, but as a general rulo
were of ordinary dimensions, refreshing
and very useful. Now, and during the
years we have mentioned, they remind
ns most feeliugly of Macbeth’s idea n
bout the wonderful metamorphosis in
human life—
“ the times have beau,
That when the bruins were out the man would
die,
And there an end; but now tliey rise again
And push us from our stools :”
And so of storms of wind and rain—tor
nadoes, hurricanes, thunder and light
ning: there’s none of the Old sigus or
ruleß how to calculate them in these
days; possessing ns they do, not only
Macbeth’s power of self-resurrection, but
also may be said not to die at all! They
seem to be on the rampage or war path
all times ; a violent gust day before yes
terday ! —storm of wind, rain, hail, thun
der and lightning, with someone or
more killed yesterday'! wuilo to-day a
regular cyclone is in full blast and the
Lord can only tell what its ravages will
be, or where it will take up. The whole
meterological history is presented by
ono vast and seemingly endless mael
strom that sucks in and swallows loco
motives, houses, trees and animals every
where. AVe Lave little doubt that the
Signal Bureau Reporters at Washington
aro puzzled to keep up with the rapid
and almost interminable violence of
these tracks of the air. There aro no
cloudless days to bo seen as of yore;
not even the sweet influences of gentle
breezes with spells of calm weather;
and what an hour may bring forth is be
yond the power of our wisest Almanac
makers. Just now Middle Georgia pre
sents a rich field to Dutch emigrants.
Our pasture lands would supply cheap
and ready facilities for his butter and
cheese, and general farm products, while
bis knowledge and passion for wind
mills would give him an advantage of
erecting mills where water-power does
not exist and making a fortune in a
short time!
State Fair aa«l the Agricultural College.
A most laudable spirit is now moving
our people to the advancement of their
industrial pursuits in nctfrly every coun
ty of the State. Facilities to dovelope
our multitudinous resources arc spring
ing up in County and District Fairs,
nnd in the formation of Agricultural and
Mechanical Associations auxiliaries
to the main head that moves undor the
auspices of our State Legislature, nnd
whose third annual exhibition will take
placo at Macon in October next. Be
Bides, we have ably conducted Agricul
tural and Horticultural, Stock nnd Or
chard Journals, that disseminate month
ly and seasonably, the latest as well as
most approved means of information
that these various subjects or branches
require—added to which, all the weekly
and daily newspapers are constantly
furnishing valuable statistics, new
discoveries and inventions with much
of practical advice from their many cor
respondents, to aid tho Planters and
Farmers in the successful management
of their crops and to infuso pride and
resolution into all classes, orders and
ranks of our citizens. AVo can perceive
already what improvements have taken
place within a year, and wo are confi
dent a real start has only bccu made
when we get fairly in motion and every
body contributes his mite at some Fair
or otbor, then indeed Georgia will bo
come the Empire State, the key of the
great inverted arch of the American
Union.
But gratifying and encouraging as
these facts are, we think they can be
more advantageously enlarged by amal
gamating and permanently locating two
of their most important accessories—wc
mean the State Fair and tho State Ag
ricultural College. Os course the Col
lege whenever established will be per*
nl »uent, and our suggestion is that the
place of holding the State’s Annual
Fs'tS be a(|o filed and immovably set
f|ed;yhei#er tha College shall be es
tab%hed.+ Let tho two go together and
(not necessary to specify, became they
mast bn patent and forcible to the minds
of all) advise and recommend that snch
a union or sameness of loestion at least,
he that mach as
the most for. the interests of
the objects in view, we can see no ob
jection. altstawar, why ftlilledgeville
should not be selected as tho place for
both. It is no stock-jobbing, pipe-lay
ing or lobbying matter, but one in wliioh
the great body of the people are deep
ly interested, and for whom sacrifices
should be willingly made at the smallest
cost—in the quickest time—aud with the
amplest facilities. The public property—
the old Capitol, Executive Mansion and
Penitentiary buildings, wall and grounds,
fill up tho necessities so completely, as
to leave but little to want, and that lit
tle such as can be instantaneously sup
plied.
Death of Rev. K. S. S. Reman, D. D.
From the Greensboro (GaJ Herald,
wo loarn that this aged and able Divine,
died in Troy, N. Y. on the Bth inst.—
His age is not stated, but from our re
membrance of him, we judge lie was not
much under ninety ! At onetime he re
sided at Mt. Zion, Hancock county, in
this State, and for several years was
Principal of tho High School established
there—the reputation of which was sec
ond to none at that day. lie was assist
ed by the Rev. Benjamin Gildorsleeve
(who, we think, is still in life,) and was
succeeded by his brother Rev. Carlisle
P. Beman I). D. who still resides at Mt.
Zion venerable in his years and honored
for a long life of useful service to the
State of his early adoption.
Ur. N. S. S. Beman was an efficient and
successful teacher and a learned and el
oquent pulpit orator. He left Georgia
about 1321 —probably a little earlier or
later, and perhaps with ono exception,
never afterward visited the State Par
tial paralysis joined to old age caused
his death.
The Magnetic Springs.
Some weeks past we mentioned the ce
lebrity of the St. Louis, Michigan Springs
in cases of paralysis and general nervous
affections ; and that several distinguish
ed individuals—among them Chief Jus
tice Chase, had an idea of testing their
virtues this season.
lu Ei-try Saturday's issuo of the 12th
inst., we find this statement. “The mag
netic waters at the St, Louis Michigan
Springs, aro working excellently upon
Chief Justico Chase, nnd tho favorable
reports thereof have induced other dis
tinguished invalids to take up summer
quarters there.”
While all this may be as represented,
and wc hope results aro even better, it
strikes us that tho proprietors are rather
indifferent or doubtful about the value
of the mineral properties of the Springs,
or they would inform the public and re
ceive an immediate run of patronage
commensurate with tho wants of many
who, we aro sure, have never yet beard
of the powerfully healing qualities at
tributed to their waters. A specific euro
for Paralysis, even its abatement, would
be a blessing to many afllictod, and a
source of untold wealth to its possessors.
So far, we have seen no other than high
ly flattering accounts, but such medicinal
and effective agents should receive the
utmost development and bo known far
aud wide.
COMPTROLLER GENERAL BELL’S REPOET.
Wc are in receipt of the Annual Re
port for this Department, embracing in
detail and under different heads, the
sources of Ilevenuo and tho disburse
ments from tho Treasury of Georgia, for
the whole year of IS7O. Its arrange
ment seems to be sufficiently lucid, and
to condcnso all tho necessary topics re
quired by law, and will no doubt sulj
servo very important purposes—some of
which we shall hereafter notice, one es
pecially—that of lavish and criminal
wastefulness of tho people’s money, by
the last Legislature or any of their like
bands of foraging Committees, Supernu
meraries, Clerks, assistant deputies, &c.;
it will, we hope, prevent the repetition,
if it does not reimburse the surplussos
thus fraudulently taken. We respect
fully return our thanks to Comptroller
Bell for a neatly printed copy of the Re
port:
Yellow Fever in Charleston.
Charleston, August 26. —Tho Medi
cal Society of Charleston, in view of
the exaggerated reports abroad as to the
presence of yellow fever here, held a
meeting Inst evening, and, after full
investigation and discussion, resolved to
innko oftiieiul publication of the real
facts of tho case as follows :
That yellow fever, of a mild type,
does exist to a limited extent in Charles
ton—that it is mainly confined to one
neighborhood—that the first case dated
from July 27th, and, during the month
that has elapsed since then, there have
been, perhaps iu all up to this time, tfair
ty-fivo cases, of which five have proved
fatal; but that the disease does not
scam to spread rapidly or widely. It is
added that a difference of opinion ex
ists in the profession as to the probable
spread of the disease. The Board of
Health announces, this morning, that
tiie number of cases reported since the
23d inst, indicates that the disease is
assuming an epidemic form,
Large Public Meeting in Baldwin.
Aceordinfif tq a Qnivioui/iiU. ihfirg wm
A large and enthusiastic meeting on
Tuesday, August 22<t> is the' Senate
Chamber of tho old State House at Mil
iadgeville. The meeting was organized
upon motion of Hob. T. W. White, by
calling Col. John S. Thomas to the
Chur. Mr. j. H. Furman moved that
Bnu. W. Babbow, Esq., be requested to
set as'Secretary.
The meeting was then called to order,
and Col. McKinley in a few words stat
ed its object : “To adopt measures to so
euro the location of tho Agricultural,.
Mechanical and Military College in the
publie buildings at Milledgeville.” Col.
H. D. Oapers, of Savannah, was then in
troduced by the Mayor, and delivered
an effective an eloqaeot speech upon the
matter before the meeliug. He was fol
lowed by Capt. Williamson and Mr. J.
H. Furman, who clearly and pointedly
showed the advantages of Miltedgeville
as the proper site for the Agricultural
College. After Mr. Furman concluded,
Col. McKinley moved the following res
olutions, which were adopted, unani
mously, viz :
Resolved, That as the land granted to
Georgia by Congress will bo forfeited
and lost, nnd the Scrip have to be re
funded to the United States on the first
day of July, 1572, unless the State
shall establish before then, such Agri
cultural College as the land was intend
ed to maiutaio ; therefore, the Legisla
ture ought to establish such College
promptly in November next, and let it
get to work by March or April next
thereafter.
2d. As the State already has on
band at Milledgcville, the Stale House,
Governor's House, three other dwelling
houses, besides shops, sheds and other
buildings, which cost the State over
$500,000, and would now cost 81,000,-
000,—and as the City Council of Alii -
ledgevillc offers to give the Slate a rich
farm land, 50 to 500 acres for the School,
and the Presbyterian Church at Mil*
ledgeville also offers to give to the State
for the School, the old Oglethorpe Col
lege buildings and its fourteen Barracks
and fifty acres of land, iu all 54 rooms,
and worth to the State, at least $200,-
000 more; that, therefore, tho Legisla
ture ought to establish the Military Ag
ricultural and Mechanical College in the
Public Buildings at Milledgevillc, in
November next, without further loss of
time, or expense to the people.
3d. As the State is by law made
Trustee of the U. S. College land fund,
she can safely advauco any money ne
cessary to "support and maintain” the
Agricultural College, by paying Profes
sors’ salaries, or other like necessary
expenses, and charge it to the trust, —
unless Bhe will be more liberal and give
it.
4th. Milledgcville is the best of all
places in Georgia, for the proposed Col
lege—being central, healthy, in a pleas
ant hill country, with good water, and
good lands, and accessible by railroads
in all directions.
sth. The Agricultural College, if lo
cated at Milledgeville, will possess a
free Law School, as the Bar of Milledge
ville pledge themselves to instruct the
College in the law of land titles, land
lord and tenant, master and servant,
contracts and crimes, without salary
from the State or fees from the students.
And the Physicians of Milledgeville
make a similar pledge as to the Medical
ttepartment,—a rogular comse of lec
tures to the Students on health and Dis
ease, without salary from the State or
fees from the Students.
6th. We hereby recommend the Le
gislature to commit tho Agricultural
College to the care and Trusteeship ot
a State Agricultural Board, to be chosen
by the State Agricultural Society, with
power to establish a Department of the
College at Dahlonega.
On motion of Mr. Carrington, it was
also resolved, that a Committee of five
for Correspondence he appointed ; and
that the thanks of the meeting be ten
dered to Col. Capers.
Hon. T. W. White made some very
sensible remarks, shoving the necessity
of united effort and liberal contributions
from the citizens of Baldwin county.
On his motion, an Executive Committee
was appointed, consisting of
Col, McKinley, L. Carrington, J.
Jones, A. I. Butts, O. V. Brown, S.
G. White, and Mayor of Miliedgville.
The meeting then adjourned upon
motion, subjoct to the call of tho Chair
man. JNO. S. THOMAS, Chairman.
Benj. W. Babrow, Scc’y.
A Negro State. —A Charleston
(S, C.) correspondent of the Richmond
(Ky.) Messenger thus alludes to political
affairs in the old Palmetto State:
“Four-fifths of tho members of the
Legislature are negroes, who have mado
from three to a hundred thousand dollars
each. The Lieutenant Governor and
Secretary of State aro mulattoes, and
three out of the four members of Con
gress range in color from a bottle of ink
to a dirty piece of sole-leather. One of
tho Associate Justices of tho Supreme
Bench is so black that a chalk mark on
his philanthropic physiognomy would
look like a light-house iu a fog, while
the ponderous gravity with which he
listens to the learned arguments of the
really learned men of the State, who arc
forced to appear before him, has its equal
only in that ridiculous sedateness with
which yon have seen a monkey catch
fleas. The leader of the Legislature is
a Michigan negro, whose linguistic oili
ness quickly brought hiu to the dingy
surface, and there he still floats in vanity
and wealth. He is called the “Black
Prince,” and lives in style about seven
miles from Charleston, owns tweuty
horses and mules, with handsome car
riages to boot; drives with a footman,
and fires a bottle or two of champagne
with a lavish hand to every sight-seer
who has a curiosity to visit an ebony iuol
in his own home.”
Railroad Meeting in Atlanta.—
Pursuant to announcement, the corpora
tors of the various railroads, chartered
at the last session of the Legislature,
met at the Kimball House yesterday
morning. Abont, twenty-one railroads
were represented. The corporators were
unanimously in favor of the narrow.guagc
system. The corporators also agreed to
oppose any further efforts to obtain State
aid.
It is feared the potato blight will al
most destroy the Irish crops.

Tub Year or Disasters. —The year
year'llb.vc been
be crowded in the space of one short
year. And the accidents have been far
more destructive of life than accidents
have heretofore been. It was told us by
the telegraph, a few days ago. that the
death's - occasioned hy-Yhe explosion of
the steam ferryiboat, Westfield, at the
foe* of Whitehall etreet, New York, two
weeks ago Were more numerous thau
all the doit bn from all the explosions
that had occurred during the last two
years, 1869 and 1870'. The explosion
of the gas in the coal mines of Pennsyl
vania last spring killed more’ than had
been killed in the same way during the
whale of the year before. We have re
corded, within the last two months, an
account of more deaths from the breaking
through of railroad bridges than we re
member having ever heard of previous
ly. And to crown all, we seldom pick
up an exchange that contains no account
of some disaster by lightning. This
thing is certainly remarkoble, to say the
least.— Montgomery Advertiser.
Tax-Payers Convention.
The present and prospective financial
condition of Georgia, is well calculated
to excite anxiety and alarm. How far
tbc State is already in debt no one can
tell. To meet the wasteful, iniquitous
and criminal expenditures of the pres
ent Radical administration, the people
will be heavily taxed. With short
crops nnd crippled industries they arc ill
prepared to meet these onerous exactions.
What is the lemody? We have alrea
dy suggested a Convention of the tax
payers—without regard to race or color,
or party —to consider calmly the real
financial condition and material interests
of the State ; present it to the Legisla
ture and demand a reform. It will Lave
a good effect on that body, for the mem
bers will not dare to disregard the voice
of the people they represent. We have
also suggested that this Convention meet
in Macon in October next, during the
State Fair. Let every county bo repre
sented. Delegates to the State Agricul
tural Convention might represent both
interests, which indeed are one insepa
rable. Will our cotemporaries urge the
people to move in this matter ? It may
cheek the extravagant expenditures of
tho Government, save the State from
bankruptcy, and the people from intol
erable burdens. We say again let the
sovereigns speak !— Greensboro Herald.
We clip the following from the Atlan
ta Sun, of yesterday:
Ysterday, Isaac P. Urns, Treasurer
of the State Road under Fostor Blodgett,
and B. W. Wrenn, the General Passenger
and Ticket Agent under the same ad
ministration, aud still holding that posi
tion under Gov. Brown, were arrested
Both were charged with larceny after
trust. Tliey waived an examination,and
each gave bond iu the sum of SIO,OOO.
Wo learn that Mr. Harris admits tiiat
he has money in his hands belonging to
tho State, which he is ready to pay over
to any one authorized to receive it, and
has been rgpdy to do so ever since
tho lease, whenever he can, by so doing,
have his bondsmen relieved. We aro
also informed that Mr. Wrenn makes
the same or a similar statement.
Sad Affliction. —Wo Baw a telegraph
ic dispatch yesterday from Col. Warren
Aiken, of Cartersvillo, to Col. Prather, of
this city, in which he says that two of his
children had died that morning with
something like diptheria, and a third one
was hopelessly ill.
Paid into the ' Treasury. —We learn
Mr. C. P. McCalla, the General Book
keeper of the State Road, has paid over
to tho State Treasurer several thousand
dollars of restitution money which has
lately come into his Lauds.
Gov. Bullock. —Wc learn that he will
return to this city pn the Ist of Septem
ber. Wearegliidof this. He is need
ed here now, and ought to have been
here for the past three months. lie
could have been of great assistance to
those employed in working up cases of
State Road defalcation.
lion. Alex. Delmar, editor of tho.New
York National Intelligencer, in a letter
to Col. Dul’rco, of the Memphis Appeal,
concludes as follows on the subject of
the ‘New Departure’:
“I am no truckler to Southern senti
ment or any other sentiment. I desire
no office ; I ask no favors; and I would
not cross the door of my study for all
tho votes iu the conDtry; but I admire
intellect and revereucc truth and virtue;
and a careful and comprehensive glance
at the whole political field since 1861,
compels me to say that neither truth,
virtue nor brains have developed them
selves in American politics sinco the fa
tal day. when to the great joy of all the
little minds, and the profit of all the lit
tle men iu the country, the delegation of
Southern representatives left the Con
gress of the United States.”
One sad tragedy is drawing to a
close. Galignani’s Messenger reports
that “Poor Ciiarlotta,” widow of the
late Maximilian of Mexico, and only sis
ter of Leopold 11, the present King of
the Belgians, is daily growiug worse,
and that her death is near at hand. We
are told that “she has frequent periods of
prostration, which sometimes lasts for
forty-eight hours, and during which she
can take no food. Although only thirty
six years of age, her constitution is com
pletely broken down, and fears are en
tertained that an existence, marked
with such terrible disasters, is approach
ing its end.”
An Appetite. —A Virginia oditor, in
noticing the statement that tigbt-lacing
saves tlie country $2,000,000 annually
in board alone, says it is a villainous aud
habitual lie. He knows a girl who laces
so tight that bis arm will go round her
and lap over clear to the elbow; and one
wouldn’t think, to look at her, that she
could eat anything but soup, but she’s
got an appetite like a cross-cut saw, and
she mows a swath at a table like a self
raking reaper.— American Paper.
