Kimroits Constitution.—I had in tended. inmicdialcly*alier the adjourn ment ot the Convention of County School Commissioners which was in sesson in this city last week, to prepare a communication for your paper, giv ing a brief statement of the informa tion obtained, ami the results readied; but circumstances beyond my control have delayed a little the execution of this purpose. I hope, however, I .am not too late; inaMnuch as the sub ject which eon vexed the body is one of the great importance—one in which the people of the entire State have deep interest. One notewortliy fact is that the tendance, tinder the eircumstanc was very large. There were represen tatives from seventy-seven conn ' A list of these counties was giver the reported proceedings ot the < ventiou; hut as a number of errors crept into the reports, and as it i* siralde to give accurate information, I beg leave to submit a corrected list.

The roll oi the counties was called and the representatives made briet re ports upon the status of public opinion aud the nruspects ot the school work within their respective jurisdictions. There was very great unanimity in their reports, much, rent much to en courage and nothing sufficient to cause an) thing like despondence. All agree that the failute to pay the debt con tracted in 1S71 had produced, tempo rarily. a damaging effect. When U became known that the contracting of this debt was an error of administra tion, that it was done without resour ces, that the nial-appropriatiou of the fund took place before a single one of the teachers of is; l was employed, and that for this stale ot things the present administration «•» the Mate goveru- : ulf extci The inaction ot school matters in 1ST'2 was satisfactorily explained to the popular mind l*v the existing indebt edness and an utter lack ot resources to meet that indebtedness, ami abso lutely nothing in hand with which to re-inaugurate school-. When SlOtHiO, (K*U was distributed, the first ot this year, to make part payment on the old debt, there was to some extent a re-action in public feeling, and now that we have assurance ot vhe payment in a few weeks of another installment on that debt, about equal in amount to the former, and are certified of the ad ditional fact that there will he iuhand ready tor distribution a very consider- hie school fund to be used for support ing tjchools the future year, it is be lieved that the re-nct ion in a very large number ofeouuties will he permanent ly established. An overwhelming ma jority of the commissioners believed that all that was necessary to make the public school system a decided suc cess was a sufficient fuud, promptness in distributing it, the avoidance of debt and higid faithfulness in the general administration. The committee on ousiness reported in the afternoon of the first day. There were two reports, a majority and mi nority report. The majority report favored the continuance in force of the present law. with only such changes, from time to time, as experience may suggest; the strengthening of the system winch it establishes by conferring upon the country authorities the nower of local taxation, and the makfng of suitable provision, at as early a day as practi cable, for the payment of the obi debt. The minority report recommended the repeal of the present law; the sub stitution iu its stead of the education al provisions of Irwin's Code, with such as may he uecessary, and the continuance of the department of edu cation as now established, with a suit able bead to diieci and supervize the educational operations of tiie State. The minority report was considered and acted upon first, and was voted down.br an almost unanimous x’Otc. The majority report was then consid ered, and when acted upon, reccix'ed almost the entire vote ot the conven tion, there being, in the opinion of the xvriter, uot more Ilian fixe or six votes against. There has hardly ever been a convention iu this State, perhaps, in wlich as as much ununiinity prevailed, and T look for the very best results to follow. It may be well here to explain what is meant by the policy of local taxation, which the convention proposes. In the summer of 1672, when the present . general evbooj lav was on its passage an attempt was made to confer upon the County Board of Education the power of authorizing the levy of a lo cal tax in their respective counties or in any sub-Uistrict therein, to supple*, meat the fund furnished by the State for the support ot schools. The same proposed legislation confered upon the Boards power to authorize the levv of a tax in any sub-district for build ing school houses therein, and procu ring school furniture giving them the right to have the houses built by the voluntary labor of the citizens -wher- ex'er that mode xvas considered prefer able. The local taxation was to be entirely voluntary, and in no case, without submitting the question to the popular vote. The safe-guards agaiust onerous levies were as follows: The members ot the Board of Education are appointed by the. grand jury a, conserx-ative body—are required to be free- holders and are thus represent atives of the property interest—and arc removable on address of two thirds of the grand jury. The sec tion of the bill which conferred the power of local taxation, was defeated bv a tie x'ote in the Senate, the Pres ident giving his casting \*ote against. At the session of the Legislature, last winter, a supplemental school bill was introduced into the House, con ferring the poxver of local taxation, as briefly sketched abox'e, with an addi tion safeguard against excessive c actions. That safe-guaru consisted requiring the boards themselves, in every case, to fix before hand the amount cf the tax to be raised before submitting the question to the \-otc of the people. The bill received a ma jority of one on the vole in the house, hut the speaker was allowed to vote under a rule of the House, which res hint the right of voting whenev- his x-ote will alter the filial result, and cast his vote against thus produ cing a tie, and causing the loss of the icasure. 1 he idea of local taxation, s set forth in the above, historic ketch, was urged before the conx en- ion. and is, I think, the true idea of the local taxation which they advo- a!e. The best systems iu this couli re and abroad afe those which are ustnined, to a large extent, by local nxation, and we must have some thing of this kind in our State if we hope ever to achieve a high degree of success. I he population of Georgia b7 the rensus of 1870, is 1,184,108. Of this population there are 4(58,083 persons ten )ears ot age and over, who are un able to read aud write. I hese are clas sified as follows: whites 124,032, color ed 4(53,070, Indians 17. These statis tics and others, taken from the census of 1870, were commented upon with great force in an address made by the Governor to the convention. "* persons have the right of x’oting and holding otlice under the laws. They have as much right in shapiug the des tiny of the State at the ballot box as our most intelligent citizens. Wc can not afford to stand still aqjl permit this mass of ignorance to do its work, Self preservation demands the most earnest effort to remove ignorance from our midst, and to prepare the xx hole people, as far us xx-c may he able to do so for exercising the duties of citizenship. The convention dispersed with en larged views of importance of the work in which they arc engaged, and will doubtless carry xvith them into the discharge of their duties increased earnest ness. 1 hope that all the pa pers of the State that arc willing to co-operate xvith us in this xvork _ of seeking to elcx’ate the masses xvill copy this communication. G. J. Okie State School Commissioner. —m— Enterprise and Newspapers. *Jf the reader wishes to get a good idea of a distant city, town, or section, which he never has, and never may see, lie at once seeks out a newspaper published iu the place and he reads it over carefully. lie does not read the news, for in niuc cases out of ten the freshest telegraphic news is old to him before the newspaper reaches his hand, hut apart from this the nows come from the outside world, and in no xvay represents the place where the jour nal is published. The reader there- tote forms his oninions of the place from the local columns and the adver tising. If the local columns are filled with police reports, dog fights, horse races, whiskey rows, and suits for di vorce, the opinion of that places mor ality must he anything but fax’orable. If tho editorials be copied, braiuless, wish-washy or aimless, lie comes to the couchi-ion that tiie intellectual standard where the paper is published cannot he very high, and so from the paper the reader at a distauce makes up his mind as to the intelligence and morality of the place where it is pub lished. To a stranger thens is no part of a paper so interesting as the adx’ertisc- meats. Every reader kuows this fur himself. From the advertising col umns lie makes up his opiaiou op the thrift and business enterprise of the place, aud in ninety-nine cases out ofa hundred he is right, for nothing so in dicates the business and enterprise of n place as the advertising columns of its leading papers. If the reader xvill stop for a moment and think lie will see that wc arc a correct in every par ticular. The business xvants iu the Times speak of Loudott. as those in tiie Ilernld do of New York, the Ledger of Philadelphia, the Sun of Baltimore, and the Commercial of Cincinnati. Either of the papers named would gix'c a stranger, in its advertising column, mcompletc picture of the xvants and resources of their respective cities, and to a strong advertising columns present the great est interest.—Columbus Enquirer. IVc commend the above to the read ers of tho Times. There are many sound practical hints therein, that xvill strike the reflective mind at once. We ask you to read this carefully, aud then answer the question. Arc you encouraging to tho extent of your ability, the local papers ot your city, that they may show to the world, that Thomasvillc is a live thorough going place. This is a question iu which each citizen, is as much, or even more interested iu than we are. If we tell the public that this is the best busi ness point in South West Georgia, they naturally look to our advertising columns, for evidence of the tact — And they “tell the tale,” it they find them crowded. With advertisements, representing all the lines of trade, the conclusion is forcible, that Thotnasville certainly is a live place, and that it would pay to invest money here, go into business, etc.* But if they find a few meagre and sickly adx’crtiseraents, the conclu sion is irresistible, that this is no place to come to. Wc take it for grauted, that every citizen here (especially the business men of the place.) is anxious the town grow, increase iu pop ulation, and become infact, the town of Scutli West Georgia. This can only be accomplished by a liberal aud united concert of action, on the part of merchants, press, and people. Let us all give a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together; aud uot relax our efforts, but given to each other, that generous support which should ever characterize a people, who are working for the common good, thereby ensuring the most happy re*ult, # wh!ch wiU surely crown our labors. (Communicated). From Arkansas. Hot Sfbings, Ark., June 25th 1673. Mess. Editors.—Thinking a line from this point might be read with some interest by some of your readers, I have thought it proper to give you a few dots, in relation to these won derful springs. These springs are sit uated on the western atop® of Hot Springs mountain (being a margin of the Ozark), distant'westerly from Lit tle Rock, on the Arkansas River, about fifty miles, at an estimated ele vation of fourteen hundred feet above the level of the_sea. ^ These springs, fifty-four in number, are found bursting out from the side of this mountain, and winding their course down through troughs and pipes to the bath bouses below, situa ted at the foot of the mountain. Some of these springs are quite small, while others are larger. Some of them are found to rise, one to two hundred yards up the side of this slope, while others rise near the base. There is one very large spring just at the foot ot this slope, boiJiug out from under tho ledge of a rock in the edge of a small brook that winds its course along the valley. Here is one of nature's grand for* mations. Hot xvater, as it were, boil ing up iu the midst of cold water, or so near, that one can stand with one hand in the brook, which is cold, while the other hand you could rest in this hot spring, provided you could stand the heat; this is called the Iron spring, and from appearance, judging from the color of the sediment that gathers on tiie rocks, it must be strongly im pregnated xvith iron. Some of these springs arc moderate ly warm, while others arc so warm that you cannot hear your hand iu in them. I have been informed that the mean temperature of these springs are one hundred and thirty-four de grees fahr., they range from ninety- three to one hundred and fifty degrees fahr., and the total discharge of water is estimated at three hundred and sev enteen gallons of water ex'ery minute. There is a great many peculiarities about these waters, and one of them is, you may driuk just as much as you want or crowd the stomach, and you feel no ill-conx'cniencc or nausea from it. The heat from this hot xvater seems to be quite different from ordi* nary water thut is made hot. Anoth er peculiarity of these Vators are, Unit you may place a ketUc of this hot ter beside a kettle of cold water, < hot stove, and the cold water will boil first Another peculiarity of these waters is the marked effect they have in aiding patties to overcome and quit the use of tobacco, spirits, opiates, or narcotics of any kind. Out of niue hundred or one thousand visitors here, from all parts of the world, it is a very rare chance that you see a least intoxicated. Some of your readers may think the reason why there is no druukenneas here, that the city coun cil must be very strict, to keep sue 1 .: good order, but let me assure yon there is no city council here, nor auy incorporation. I notice also anothc peculiarity about this water, xvhile ii the bath tub, that the water has a ten dency to buoy one up, and it seems though each limb would weigli a half ton. Tiie limb is very easily brought to the service of the xvater, but it seems almost an impossibility to raise it out the water. I hax'c ofteu heard when a boy, the story goinj rounds, that there could be seen laige piles of crutches and old sticks near these springs, left here by inva lids who had been cured, und had thrown their crutches and sticks aside, and had gone on their way t ejoicing. This may have been so before the re bellion (or the last war between the States), but to-day the crutches and sticks arc not seen scattcicd fuscly around. You Mess. Editors nor your many n ailers must not think for a moment, from reading the above paragraph that, in the opinion of the xvriter. these springs have lost auy their former virtue or properties, far from this. I am fully persuaded, from what I have seen and hcatd from some of the residents here, that thero has been some xvonderful cures made by a proper use of these waters. They are said to be good for almost every ill tiiat flesh is heir to. Their renown must he very great abroad, judging from the vast nnrnber of invalids here from all pans of the xx-orld. The fol lowing line of diseases arc cured bcnctiitvd: Rheumatism, gout, still' joints, contraction of tiie muscles, skin diseases as a class, scrofula, ul cerations and enlargement of the glands, general debility, spioal dis eases. neuralgia, netx’ous affections, partial paralysis, uterine diseases, as a class, mercurial, and all forms of syphiitic diseases. This water is said to be a specific for the latter dis- sease in any of its forms. Many forms of chronic diseases ate said to show maiked improvement by the ju dicious use of the waters. The ac commodation fur eating, sleeping, drinking and bathing are very good. There are several private boarding houses, besides some ten or twelx’e public hotels. Board per month ranges from thirty to seventy-fire dol lars. Fhysiciau's fee twenty-five per month; use of the water or bath house privileges, ten dollars per month, how ever, I believe there is some of the ho tels that do not make any extra charges for bathing, to their guests, or regular boarders. The facilities for bathing here in the summer are much better than in winter, as there are only two batli houses connected or under the same roof, with the hotels. The water, I presume, would be just as good in winter as iu summer, if the facilities for bathing were good. The great danger in w inter is contracting colds and coughs, as most of the bath houses are off from the hotels, mod one is in great danger, or 1 would think so in winter, after going into the bath, which almost invariably gets op or creates more ot less perspiration, nod then having to walk several paces to your hotel, through the cold wind, wpuld be dat^eiuus.
