A little picture floats before our mind right;
now, so apropos, that we will beg pardon for
calling your special attention to it:
A dozen college boys, grouped on a piazza
overlooking the room of a new fellow—a re-1
puted lion—who has ju6t made his first appear
ance in the campus. They are eagerly dis
cussing his probable merits, and guaging in
know how’ many quires of paper were printed
in its office every day before the suspension
of the San and we know how many since.
The combined circulation of the two dailies,
after the exchanges, free list and non-paying
subscribers of the Sun are extracted, is not as
laTge by several hundred copies as the regular
daily circulation of the Herald.
There is not any need for betting to prove
this. Let any curious advertiser inquire fof

vant flings his door wide open, and there
stands the hero in full view, just finishing his
toilet. All eyes are turned on him. He
looks well about the head; his cravat is neat
ly tied, his hair arranged carefully, and the
eyes of the boys sweep inquiringly down his
body. His coat fits well, bis vest is tasty,
his watch chain not a whit too loud,
his pants becoming, and a pretty good
impression is created, when—Heavens, above
us ! like two huge red lobsters, spreading iu
flatulent shame, the wretches bare feet glare
on the floor. The miserable man has actual
ly dressed himself from head to foot, cravat
and all, before he has thought of putting on
his boots ! That slays him. “Ob, Lordy!
he won't do!” goes all around the circle, and
the man’s doom is sealed. By instinct, or
something quicker than instinct, when those
boys saw that fellows boots lying neglected in
this fact. Let any person traveling on the
railroads observe which paper is most sought.
Go to any town within the radius of Atlan
ta’s business, and you will find that the Her
ald is most read and most sought after.
Concerning the circulation of the Weekly
Herald, we have never laid any claims to
superiority. Six months ago our weekly,
then a four paged paper, had less than five
hundred circulation. We enlarged it to eight
pages, and now print about three thousand
copies. Whether the combined circulation
of the weekly Sun and Constitution is larger
than this we do not know. What we do
know, however, is, that the weekly Herald
has more subscribers iu Georgia and Alabama
than the weekly Constitution has.
contest for this premium will be required to
notify the Committee by the 15th of .Septem
ber of such intention, audio state explicitly
their determination to observe and abide by
these rules and regulations for the government
of the contest. They will also state, approx
imately, the number of officers and men that
theywill bring.
The committee state that there are ample
and thoroughly suitable grounds adjacent to
the Central City Park, (where the contest will
take place,) for the wants and requirements
of military encampments—locations at once
eligible, salubrious, and healthy, undin every
way peculiarly adapted for such usues and
purposes. All companies intending to bring
camp equipage, will please notify the commit
tee of that fact at the earliest day practicable.
Those companies preferring and purposing to
billet themselves for the occasion at our
hotols, will, by timely application, direct, be
enabled to secure ample and commodious
quarters, with the best rations that our South
ern markets will afford. For general infor
mation, we append the names of our princi
pal hotels—Brown House, Lanier House, and
Spottswood Hotel—all of them certainly first-
class houses in all tneir appointments. As
this contest is to be one of the most interest
ing features of our great State Fair, the com
mittee invites the attention of military com
panies to this circular, and in the event fur
ther information is desired, will take pleasure
iu communicating it.
The following Board of Military Judges is

there was something wrong in him, and that
he lacked system, if not common sense.
These predictions were true and fully sus
tained by his college course. He did every
thing while he stayed there on the strictly
upside down principle, and blew his nose
with the snort of a warhorse that snuffs the

Now, concerning the circulation of the
Daily Constitution, we have this to say: Its
quadruple sheet was printed on paper manu
factured for the Herald, and held at the
office of Mr. James Ormond subject to our

The Sciota river has overflown. Extensive broom-

During a heavy shower in Andover yesterday even

stunned Rev. Mr. Abbott, who was delivering an ora

recovered lu a few minutes. The church was not
materially damaged. Several other buildings ware
also struck. It wai the most violent storm that has
been here for fifty years.
In Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, July 5, 1873.
A terrific storm passed through Wisconsin yester
day, which proved very disastrous to the pleasure
parties at Green Lake. Wisconsin. A number of Dleas-
ure seekers on the lake were struck by the storm,
their boats capsized, aud twenty persons drowned.
The following are the only names that could be
• obtained: McRussell and daughter, of Berlin, Wi*.;
Jennie Olin, a child of Mr. Olin; Mrs. A. P. Corwin,
Mrs. George Harding, William (Branham, wife and
child, and Mr. John Brain, all from Dartiord.
In Imlinnia.
New York, July 5, 1873.
At Washington, Indiana, the storm was exceedingly
fierce; spears of wheat were scattered about wild and
carried many leet in the air.
At Columbua storm was very severe and destructive.
The general prostration of Telegraph polea is without
parallel in the history of the telegraph company. An
alarmingly large number were shivered to pieces by
lightning aud totally destroyed, while many others
were partially (lest-oyed, and mauy prostrated by the
wind.
To-day will be occupied in repairs; by tonight,
however, we expect they will be able to tell their own
story ot the storm.

Committee.
"Almighty and most merciful God! We adore Thee
as the Supreme Ruler ot the Universe, controlling all
the laws of nature and the destinies of nations, and
causing all things to work together for good to them
that love Thee. We desire to confess our manifold
sins and provocations in Thy sight, and humbly to
seek thy favor and forgiveness for Thine own names
sake. We are oome together to celebrate this day on
which our fathers of old proclaimed, in joyful accents,
their Independence to all nations, after long, dark
days of conflict, disaster and death. We thank Thee
holy Father, that Thou didst raise them up from weak
ness to strength, from poverty to opulence and from
feoble colonies to powerful States, stretching from
sea to sea. Thou didst cause this vine to take deep
root, aud it filled the land. The hilla were covered
with tbe shadow of it, aua the bows thereof were like
the goodly cedars. She sent out her bows to the sue,
and her brancLes unto the river.
But when their children grew proud and
and forgot the God of tbeir fathers—when Jeahurin-
like, they waxed fat and wicked. Thon didst send
I upon them Thy judgments, aud didst prostrate them
beneath tbe rod of Thy power—their fruitful fields
were turned into a vast howling wilderness; their
cities were given to destruction, and their sous to ihe
■word, and the widow’s wail aud tbe orphan’s cry
were heard all through the land. O, meiciful God,
sanctify to us thisgreat national affliction, that we may
be purified by tbe fires of the furnace and thus be made
a wiser, better and happier people. Laying aside afl
personal hatreds and aectional animosities, may this
whole American people unite, with band and heart, to
build up our material, educational and religions insti
tutions. May law and order be tha stability of the
times, peace and harmony universally prevail, aud tbe
pricelesss blessings of knowledge and piety be diffused
among all classes aud conditions of our citizens.
To this eud will Thou give wisdom ami grace
to the President of tbe United states, that he
may faithfully peifarm the arduous duties
devolving upon him, and thus Inspire the confidence
and piomote the welfare of all the people. May Thy
Divine benediction rest upon the Governor of this
Htate. Unable him. thou Supremo Governor of the
world, to do justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly
with his God.

Composure and Firmness of the
Prisoner
What he Says Concerning His
Sentence.
New York, July 5, 1873.
Frank Walworth was to-day sentenced to the Stale
prison at Sing Sing at hard labor for life. Judge Davis,
in addressing the prisoner, said he had fearful doubts
whether his case did not justify a conviction of mur
der in the first degree. The prisoner stood tbe trying
ordeal with firmness, without moving a muscle of his
features, aud left court with his mother immediately
after the judge had concluded.
While on hia way to the Tombs after sentence had
been pronunced, young Walworth retained the self-
collected appearance by which he was characterized
through the trial. He remarked to the deputy Sheriff,
“I am glad that I did not have to endure the long
lecture I had anticipated that Judge Da .-is would in
flict on me. I thoroughly understand my potition
and did not desire any instruction in
relatiou thereto. I simply wish time
to arrange my affairs, and I snail then
submit myself to my fate, with all tbo equanimity I
can command.” The Deputy Sheriff had previously
received instructions to take threo convicted criminals
to Sing Sing on Monday, and it would be impossible
for bim to return for Walwerth before Wednesday.
Besides this, the Sheriff is disposed to grant the wish of
Walworth’s friends and relatives, who are very anxious
that he should not be removed before, in order that
he may settle his affairs. Mr. O'Connor it ia under
stood, intends to move at an early day for a new trial,
or for such further proceedings as may give the case a
new phase, and in addition, to move that Walworth
be permitted to remain in the Tombs till the ques
tion* raised shall have been determined.

CONDITION or THK INSTITUTE.
The " Lucy Cobb ” has indeed a brilliant future
before it; its Interests presided over by a board of
trustees composed of the first men i® this city, with
the scholarly and cultivated Mrs. Wright as its prin
cipal, and the Rev. Mr. Heard and his wife, both of
whom have the highest reputations as teachers, as
sociated with her iu the management of the institute.
When the present faculty assumed charge two years
ago, there were only forty scholars, now there are one
hundred and twenty. These figures speak for them
selves. There is no school in Georgia which has
greater claims upon the people of the State than the
"Lucy Cobb Institute;” and we have no hesitation in
saying that with the present faculty at its head, it is
the equal of auy temala school in the South.
