The Concert—Professor Bohirmaeher— 1 The Graduating Class—Mr. Wyllie’s Address An Atlanta Belle. The animal concert laat night, by the Southern Female College, was the finest I have ever heard off the stage. The almost perfect plsying of the young lsdics showed how carefully they had been trained by Pro fessor Schirmscher, and fully establishes his reputs- tion ss one of the most accomplished musicians and thorough teachers In the South. The chorus and solo from the Opera Eraani was indeed sublime. Hiss Moore’s solo was divine; it is to be hoped this young lady will not throw aside her music. Mies Cox’s Car nival of Venice—violin solo—was played as we never heard it played before, save by Ole Bull. Every train brings additions to the large crowd at tending. To-night’s occasion will close with a grand reunion of a general social mingling of the brave and the fair, under the beautiful trees of the college campus. No college ever had a nobler representation than the fourteen young ladies who graduated to-day. They are an honor to Georgia and Alabama. All were so de serving no special honors were conferred, and hence I cannot personate. Mr. Wyllie fully sustained his reputation ss a speaker. Miss Callie G., of Atlanta, is spending a lew days in LsGrange, where she has many friends and admirers. T. J. B. AT ROME.

The Committee recommend that the three following changes be made in the school law of the State: First, That the counties shail be authorizes to levy a tax to supplement the State appropriation. Second. That the entire traveling expenses of the State School Commissioner, including his board and hotel bills, should be paid by tbs State. Third, That the enumeration be taken once in three years instead of annually. The committee also recommended that the following question be discussed by this convention: “How shall the school law be put into practical op eration in the difforent counties of the State.” Fur ther, that the convention adjourn sine dio at one p. m., to-morrow.

Dsath to Melon Dealers—At a special meeting of Council, held last night, at the Recorder’s Court room, an ordinance was adopted prohibiting for the present the sale of watermelons, stale fruits, fish and vegetables, and imposing a fine of fifty dollars or thirty day’s imprisonment for a violation of the ordinance. This, it will be seen, is a healthy blow at melon dealers, for whereas, it only prohibits the sale oi decayed fish, fruit and vegetables, it is a sweeping statute as to melons, making no ex. ception whatever. Emergency was the cause assigned by the City Fathers. The tax committee held s meet ing &t tho same time and place, and discussed the tax ordinance for the last fiscal year, suggested some changes, etc., but as their action is not final until ra*‘ ifled by the Council, we deem it unimportant to pub lish their proceedings.

The commencement exercises of the Rome Female College have closed, and I have merely time to giv you some dots on one day’s proceedings, making REV. D. P. HAMILTON’S eloquent speech the magnet which draws me. espe cially to this day. Mr. Hamilton is recognized as of the brightest men in North Georgia, and his speech on this occasion was one of the best he ever made. It was replete with sense, abounding with humor, pathos, and withal a model speech for such an occasion, After his speech Mr. S. C. Caldwell, Professor of Natural Science, was then introduced to the audience. His speech was principally advice to the graduating class pertaining to their race in life. He made some very happy distinctions between life as a reaiity and as it appeared in a school girl's dream. Alter some very feUcitious remarks regarding woman’s influence and her mission, he closed by stating that since his father’s connection with the Rome Female Academy no class bad gave the sama universal satisfaction the one about to receive diplomas. President J. M. M Caldwell then delivered the diplomas to the graduates with an appropriate address. The Presbyterian cboir deserve special mention for the delightful music they discoursed. In the evening I attended a concert given by the pupils of the school for the benefit of the Memorial Association. The concert did great credit to the per formers as well as Professor Teusler, their instructor. The Misses Harpold and Alice Camp rendered their pieces unusually welL The others did well consider ing their age and practice. The lovers of music, as well ss those who felt an interest in the children par ticipating in the concert were very justly annoyed at the extreme bad behavior of a portion of the audience, who seemed to be both forgetful of themselves and the occasion. Their conduct would have merited re buke at a circus in a cross-road town. The manner in which they conducted themselves was such that a large portion of the assembly left the hall before the concert was concluded. The mercantile business here is at a low ebb. The merchants, however, are not discouraged in the least, as they experience a like stagnation in business at this season every year. The iron fever still rages. Her manufactories are all prospering. Preparations are now being made for the erection of a new furnace at Round Mountain, thirty miles below Rome. The Company has recently keen stocked at one hundred thousand dollars, with the privilege of increasing it to five hundred thousand dollars. The charter has been granted, the company fully organized, and the erection of the furnace about to be commenced. Every dollar of the stock is owned by Georgia capitalists. Mr. J. A. Bale, of this city, has commenced the con struction of a factory for the purpose of manufactur ing bone phosphate for fertilizing. All the machinery necessary for the manufacturing of the fertilizer has been ordered. The building will be speedily consum mated, so that the factory will be in operation in time to supply Cherokee Georgia and Alabama with fertiliz ers Jhis fslL CROP NEWS. The latest aavices from the country regarding the coming crops are rather discouraging. The farmer calculates on abont one-half the average yield of wheat. The cotton is looking well, but badly in the grass. The corn crop will be large if these frequent showers continue. The oat yield is large, and almost ready to harvest. The present belle of Rome dissipates in chewing gum. Jack King, the Mrs. Toodles, of Borne, bought at auction, on yesterday, the following articles: Two dozen packs of cards, two empty whisky barrels dough face and an Indian figure. Mr. John Printup purchased three dozen cakes of soap. Mr. Aiken Gammon has emigrated from the state of single blessedness into the land of wedlock. Miss It. Burns accompanied him.

B. H. Pearce, from McDuffie county, stated that his county was under tbe operation of the general school law, and that he was of the opinion that schools would be established in all the districts before the expiration ot tho ^present year. Milton county was represented by Thomas L. Lewis, who stated that the county underwent a very thor ough organization In 1871; that it was now under the operation of the special school law. At this juncture the rales wars suspended to receive the report of ihe Business Committee. The majority j of tko com mittee submitted the following report. MAJORITY JUEFOKT. The Committee respectfully report: That they have examined the papers and questions referred to them. They find that most of the diffl- As the actiou of tbe Water Commisioners, published this morning, give evidence that the Council and Board of Commissioners are in harmony, any article •w going to distract public opinion must be regarded haring some motive in view, detrimental to the best interest of the city, especially when they appeal to the prejudices of any class of people, as has been done by anonymous writer in your paper this morning. Generally these writers never own much city property, although in this instance I may be mistaken. I had promised myself not to reply to communications under assumed names, as I believe the people care very little for them as they generally have an interest to accom plish, and not so much for the dear people. This has been demonstrated in the Bukofzen project. For the first timo since 1870, the Council have shown a disposition to move in a spirit of harmony with the commissioners, in this undertaking which will enable the board to givo tbe matter au investiga tion its importance demands. The resolution offered by the writer iu 1870, pro vided for an examination of this subject for a popula tion of sixty thousand people, and expecting it to be reduced, when, to my surprise, it was amended unan imously, to read for one hundred thousand. Under this resolution the commissioners have been acting and estimating for works of this capacity, including pipes for all parts of the most thickly settled portions of the city, in order to show thoso of our citizens who held very liberal views, tbe cost #f works on such a scale; but in doing i, never intended to spend the amount of money at tributed to the Board by the opponents of water works. We now believe the growth oi the city haB settled on a basia to insure a permanent increase «C population, from which wo can better judge in pro. iding for tbe future. Having met with opposition from various quarters, covertly and otherwise, from motives not known, we passed them by, knowing our honesty of purpose to «lo the best we could for the city, and being aa much in- erested in her welfare, as well as being identified with her for tbe past twenty and twenty-fire years. Ws now think, by the co-operation of all citizens, we will be sole to consummate this much talked of enterprise, and at last all will redound to the good of the city by furnishing the quantity of water required for our present and proportionate future growth, at a coat not ruinous enough to drive all West, aa prophesied by (< AUanta.” This writer “Atlanta” speaks of “the enterprising gentlemen” going to the Chattahoochee river. He, no doubt, will be relioved when I inform him that he speaks of that which he knows nothing. The Board never entertained tbe idea of going there. He should bo more careful when he speaks iu “public.” I will further state for his information that the piau proposed by Colonel Adair was submitted to Council in 1866, and by tbe writer, In connection with Mr. Bass, tbe present City Engineer, was published In the city papers; but it was then, aa it was two years ago, tbe prevailing opinion tbat we should have water works on a large scale, and go to the Chattahoochee river. Hating no ambition to appear before tbe public iu matters of this kind, if pardoned for thia, aud tbe allusion to mjaelf, X will promise not to notice any R onK — Hamilton Yancey. Attorney at Law.

Special attention ALABAMA AND SOUTH GEORGIA PROTEST—THE GRIFFIN AND ATLANTA CLUBS NOT TBE BEST—WHAT THE FESTIVES AND MAG NOLIAS DID—A SUGGESTION TO MAYOR HUFF. Eufaula, June 23, 1873. To the Editors of the Herald: I see in your issue of the 20th instant, that a match game of base ball, played by the Griffin and Atlanta clubs, in which the score stood 27 to 37, and you pronounced it the best game of the season by Southern clubs. The Magnolias, of Cuthbert, Georgia, and the Festives, of Eufaula, Alabama, played a game in two hours, nine innings, the score standiug as follows: Innings 1 2 34 56789 Total. Magnolias 4 0 0 3 2 3 0 0 1 19 Festives 3 0 2 4 2 0 0 5 4 20 The champion belt was awarded to H. C. Copeland, as best average player on Festive nine; the banner to George McDonald, as best average on Magnolia’s. A few words from the Cuthbert Club: Cuthbert, Ga., June 24, 1873. To the Editors of the Herald: I notice in your issue of Friday last an ac count by a correspondent of a match game of Base Ball played at Griffin, between a club of your place aud the White Stockings of Grif fin, the game standing at the close 37 to 27, the writer claiming this to be the most close ly contested game of the season. Yonr cor respondent certainly does not keep well post ed iu the match garner played in other parts of the State, or bo would not make such wild assertions iu regard to the national game. We have a club in Cuthbert now entering upon its second season, which we of South west Georgia are vain enough to think can bear off the palm from any club, whose play ing has so far been recorded in tho Herald. Last season (the first of tho organization) we only lost one match game, and that by the er roneous decisions of the umpire; entered at tho Terrell County Fair and took tbe prize, a $75 silver set, fairly distancing all competi tion. This season wo have played one match game with the Festives of Eufaula, aud were beaten by one run; tha score being, Festives 20, Magnolias 10. We play a retura gamo on Friday next. So you can see, Messrs. Editors, by our records that wo have some claims to the State championship, and when games where tho scores nro botween fifty and one bundled are called decisive of tho champion belt, wo must be allowed our protest And now we propose that if the State Agricultural Society will offer a premium of either money or plate, to bo given to tho best club of tbo State, we will contest the ground with any of your Atlanta, Gnffiu, North ot Middle clubs THE UNDERSIGNED HAVE THEIR WORKS IN full operation anti are now prepared to receive order tor all all kinds of TERRA COTTA WORKS.
