tBMkeklg a<»jgg e M. DWMULL, Editor & Proprictoi dIO. T. BTbVALL, Awoctote Edii Satnrdar Morning, Feb. 2ft, 1880. Tho MU Tenor Celebration of the Sited* .k. All engaged la the preparation of the •ntertainmenta on the evening of the 22nd; 4ail those interested in the sue* - MeoTDle nohle enterprise for the benefit Of which they were designed, ' must have been highly delighted to them so numerously attended by oi ' eltitens. It was on evidence that memory of Washington is still fresh their hearts, and that they are ready every occasion that may be presented to contribute their share in all efforts made to fhraish a testimonial to futuro gene rations that those who passed before them were not blind or Indifferent to the virtue* end greatness of the Father of his country. Floyd has done nobly In this cause. If every other county in the State would do as much in propor tion to its wealth, Georgia would be pla ced at thehead of the list instead of be ing where she now stands, not for from the foot. Aswe were called on to act a ■mall pert in the Tableaux perhaps it would not be modest in us to say what we thinly of them. Yet as public jour- nalists, end disclaiming any credit to ourselves, we may bo permitted to repeat the opinions of all who have expressed them in our presence. Without a dis senting voice they were prenouuced very fine. Many thought they could not < have been any better. It is not ourj purpose to notioeany of the scenes pai ticulsrly. If we be not disappointed, next week we will give a more minute) . description of them from the pen of) * friend competent to do them jus. tice. All sustained their parts with much credit, and received the applause of the spectators. The little girls in the first aoene, and the boys in the second and; third behaved admirably. We will not botwenturo to say anything about the ladies. Weattempteditonceandoould not succeed. We came to the condu ction that the English language was a ’ failure, and utterly inadequate to fur nish words in whioh to express our un bounded admiration. We called to our ' aid all we knew of Greek and Latin; But so for from rendering us any assistance they proved to be emphatically “dead languages." We were entirely ignorant of French, German, Spanish, Italian fto. So wo gave up in despair. Those who were present need nd description. Those Who were not so fortunate must draw largely on their imaginations and then be assured that they have only a faint .Idea of the pictures that made us so en thusiastic. The Amateur Brass Band, Who kindly '‘discoursed sweet musio” . on the occasion, have imposed a debt of gratitude upon the community by con- i tributing so much to the delight of the audience. Their .performance was re ceived with great pleasure and waa very creditable to a band so recently orgon- . ised. Thoy give promise of great profi ciency, and their kindness on Wednes- dsy evening furnishes us good reason to . believe they will never be alow to confer similar favors on proper occasions. After the Tableaux the audience re paired to the room where the supper had been .prepared. Although we par ticipated more extensively in this ••scene” than in the others, our perfor mance so for from rendering us incom* potent to speak favorably of it, strengthens our credibility when we give in onr testimony. If the young imAirm looked beeutifolly in the Tab leaux the Married Ladies acted nobly in 'preparing the supper. They deserve gpest praise, and binre received it from ell who partook oi their bountiftil pro vision. After supper many persons Wtvrned to the City Hall and had "a good time generally," in other words “a resiiiiigft time." We have said too much.

Alike to them the snows of Canada, tho hard, rocky land of New England, with its set lines and orderly ways, or the gorgeous g rofusion and loose abundance of tho outhern States. Sambo and Cuffy ex pand under them all.” Yes, that is quite true. Tn the South ern States Sambo and Coffee “expand” into industrious, orderly, producing la borers. In Canada and New England they “expand” into idle, lnxy, thieving vagabonds. It is only tho difference in the expansion that Aunty Stowe nog- leoted to state.—N. Y. Day Hook. Philadelphia letter in the Pe tersburg ‘Express’ says: The streets of this “City of Brotherly ly Love” are literally crowded at this inclement season with poor suffering ne groes, who beg from door to door, from morn till night, and who are noted for their propensity to steal anything and everything they can lay their hands on. If you would visit the Philadelphia soup-houses at this time, you could be hold many scenes among the unfortu nate black and white recipients of pub lic charity, which would make the stoutest heart ache, and especially _ on account .'f the poor blacks who might be enjoying themselves in comfortable quarters on Southern plantations and of course there would be a better opening hero for tho remaining poor white pop ulation. Tho misery of the suffering blacks here at the North, is beyond descrip tion : and it is fnst Incoming the gene ral opinion of tho intellectual portion of the community in all of the free States, that nil negroes ought to bo pre vented from settling within their bor ders,as may bo seen by the numerous petitions to tho various Legislatures of free States, since action has been taken in tlie slave States to expel from their limits all free negroes. A Bucuii Thwarted by a Woman. —The house of Mr. Landvoigt, our mailing clerk, was burglariously en tered yesterday morning about 4 o’clock after he had left home, Tho villain, however, was thwarted in his purposes, whatever they were, by Mrs. L., who, upon hearing the man, instantly seized a pistol, and, had not the fellow boat a hasty retreat, she would doubtless have sent a streak of daylight through him sans ceremonie.—Memphis Enquirer. casts. TV. U. Magill & Co. The Vice Regent of Floyd County for foe L. M. V. Association, and the Ladies engaged in the preparation of the enter tainment at the City Ilall on the even ing of the 22nd, take this method of expressing their gratitude to Messrs. Magili ft Co., for their valuable and dis interested services in the management of the Gas lights on that occasion, whieh added so much to the success of their efforts. Those gentlemen deserve tho thanks of the whole oomniunity for the part they so kindly volunteered to perform on Wednesday evening. The trouble they assumed in adding foot lights to the stage, at their own expense, and darkening tho body of the Hall and suddenly increasing the brilliancy of the foot-lights as the cur tains were drawn, added greatly to the beauty and effect of the scenes. We doubt not the citizens of Rome fully appreciate the energy and obliging dis position this Company have constantly displayed in their efforts to please and give entire satisfaction in carrying out their engagements. *@“We find the following among the patents issued for the week ending Feb. 14th: Adner Caret, of Rome, Ga., for im provement in cultivators. Abner Caret, of Rome, Ga., for im provement in cotton seed planters. Origin or Sabbath-Schools in U. S.— In a recent address, Charlton T. Henry, Esq., brought forward the following in teresting historical facts; On the 19 th of December, 1790, a mee ting of eight or ten persons was held in Philadelphia, of which the late venera ble Bishop White was Chairman. At that meeting measures were adopted which resisted in tiio organisation known by the name of the Society for the Institut ion and support of First-day or Sunday-scho<Jls, in the city of Phila delphia and the districts of Southwark ana the Northern Liberties. And on the 1st of February, 1791, the first school was opened for forty female pu pils, and the teacher was allowed $80 per annum for tuition and room rent. Other schools for the same object were organised during tbtiyears whioh suc ceeded this. But it was not until the year 1811 that there was any school es tablished with voluntary teachers.— About this time the Rev. Robert May, a missionary from London, on his way to India, remained in Philadelphia for a year, and during his stay succeeded in establishing nSabbatli-school upon the prosent plan.? • What Douglass intends to do, if Beaten at Charleston.—A Washing ton despatch in the Tribune, says: "It is now understood in political cir- piss that Mr. Douglas, foiling to secure foe nomination at Charleston, from the unitedopposltioiffof the South against bim, will transfer all foe strength he can commend in foyor of Alexander II. StePfiens, He v(ill have power enough ip theConyontion to control foe nomi nation of another, without being able to command it for bfowlf,” ' /r* • Excitement at Upper Marlboro, Md.—Negro Man Hdno.—We learn from the Alexandria Gazette, that n son of Mr. Boyle, of Upper Marlboro,’ was recently stabbed by a free negro man. and from the effects of the wound, died in n few moments. The negro was arres ted and committed to jail, but the indig nant citizens assembled, broke open the jail, took out the negro and hung him. Great oxcitoment prevailed. “Alive Again, and Eating Apple Dumpling.”—According to the Rlockies, the Hon. Mr. Hickman suffered from hemorrhage the day before and the day after the indignity inflicted npon him by Colonel Edmondson. According to the same authority, ho was received three days since at Westchester, Penn sylvania, by an immense crowd, a splen did oration, and that he “mado a brief but eloquent in speech" in reply. From all this we infer that his health is im proved, and that ho considers himself “out of danger."— Washington Mates. National Convention of the Sons of Malta. A Convention of the Sons of Malta, comprising some two hundred * u delegates from eighteen different States of the Union, meets to-day, at 2 p.m., yy at Temperance Hall, the object in view being a thorough revision of the consti tution, bylaws, and initiatory ritual of the Order. It is understood that the Convention will sit with closed doors to all but members of the Order, and per haps the admittance will be confined to the various delegates, to the exclusion of members not thus honored.— Wash- ington States. Gold.—We have just been shown some beautiful specimens of gold ore from the mine of tho Boston Company near this place. The specimens remind usforciblyof those obtained from the celebrated Field's mine on Chcdutoe river, last summer, and are but litlle in' ferior. We lonrn that the oro is abun dant, consequently tho company are making handsome profits.—Dahlohega Signal. 8®“ Wm. E. Burton, the comedian, recently deceased, leaves a largo fortune The vuluo of his property in Hudson street is estimated at $30,0j)0. IIo hns a very fine private library, including the beet collection of Shakuponrean litera ture in America, and a valuable picture gallery. IIis estnte nt Glen Cove is worth $140,000. Tho theatre in Cham bers street, now rented for the Federal Court at $10,000 per annum, is held at $215,000. Good.—At the Printers' Festival at Cleveland, on Franklin's birthday, (17th ult.,) the fo 1 >wing was the fifth regular toast: “The Editor and Lawyer—The Devil is satisfied with the copy of the former, but requires the original of the latter." g®-The earth is nearest the sun on tho first- of January, and the increased heat resulting from this proximity amounts to one-fifteenth of all that the earth receives from the sun. This causes countries in the southern hemisphere to be hotter in their summer than those in the northern hemisphere. From the niiddlo of May to the first of August, the earth receives a larger amount of the sun’s heat at the north pole than falls on an equal area at the equator. Tins is owing to the greater length of days in the higher latitudes. Returning to Servitude.—Six ne groes, who wore manumitted about "six years ago, and who have been living in tho State of New York during that pe riod passed Memphis on the 15th, for their former home, in the vicinity of Helena, Ark. intending to return to slavery, preferring it to the liberty they enjoyed in the free States.

The gas, it is said a powerful disinfectant, and hence there is no contagion within the circle of its influence, lie says that a person burn ing gas may contract tho disease abroad and take it borne with him, but it will not be communicated to any other mem ber of his family.—Morning News. A New Version of the “Mistletoe Bouon.”—A little miss of six, with whom the words “skeleton” and “skele ton skirts” were synonymous terms, in relating the melancholy story of tho lost bird who hid away in the trunk and per- rished, and was not found till many years after, with wide staring eyes said: “^nd on opening the trunk, what do you think they found there, aunty?”— “Why, what did they, my dear?”— “Nothing in the world,’ answered the little story teller, holding up her hands in horror, “but a hoop skirt I”—N.
