The first number of the Acworth Monitor has reach ed us. It is a very neat and readable paper, edited and published by Christian k Mitchell. The citizens of the town and ricinity will doubtless fittingly maintain the new enterprise. From it we clip the following: Noosday Baptist A-iociatios.—This association convenes at Concord Church, seven miles from Mari etta, on Saturday befo e the first 8unday iu August. The following named compote tbs delegation from the church at this p.acc: Jaa. R. Brown, J. C. Cooper, J. P. Reed, and David Nicholla. Judge H. M. Whitworth of Paulding county was in town last week. He carries a very ugly wound on the hand, caused by the bite of a rattlesnake's pilot, some days previously. It was a rery dangerous wound, and a number of remedies were tried before relief was ob tained. We congratulate the J udge upon hi. recovery.

The movement to re-estabfth the Geargia Military Institute is one which should be en couraged and supported, both by tbs State and by individual citizens. But few South- ern young men can gain admission to the Federal Military Academy at West Point, and, indeed, it may well be doubted if many would care to gD there at present The necessity exists, however, for the military education of our people. We do not know at what time we may be called npotx to take part in another great straggle, and whether the enemy be one at our doors, or one from abroad, it is of the utmost importance that we shall have men in our midst well versed in the science of war, from whom we can select leaders. To Virginia and Kentucky, and to all the States which contain Military Institutes, crowds of young men go yearly to obtain military education. Before the war for our independence the Georgia institution was well attended and it flourished. With a little help it can be revived and put in successful opera tion. Hence it is that we trust the Conven tion called to meet here in September will be largely attended, and that Captain Miiledge and his associates will arrange some practical ble plan for the early opening of the Institute. There are many reasons why Atlanta should not lose the opportunity which will offer it self of having the Institute located here. Our wonderfully healthy climate and central position would attract hundreds of young men to this locality who woold be deterred from going elsewhere. Here we would have from three to five hundred youths yearly, spending an average of one thousand dollars each; and if to tbeir expenditure be added that of their numerous r elations and friends who would visit the city, it W’ould be safe to put down the total gain to Atlanta at one mil- Cherokee Superior Court con day in August.

The road, therefore, should take some pains to accommo date this class of its customers, and if the schedule cannot be arranged so aa to afford people an opportu nity of going and coming the same day, it would be a great convenience to them and beap.rpetual source of revenue to the Central, to put on a train to leave this point every morning and return iu the after noon.” We are strongly of the opinion that it would be a great pecnniai y advantage to the road, while af fording accommodations to the people.

WHAT IS THOUGHT OF THE HERALD — PliOSPI CT8 OF THE GROWING CHOP—INJURY TO COTTON | TATEBPILEBS APPEARING —CORN AND OTHER PRODUCTS—THE POLITI CAL SITUATION BAD. [Special Correspondent Atlanta Herald] Batesville. Aia., July 19, 1873. Your valuable paper is making its way into this “remote, unfriended and melancholy" portion of Alabama, and is a welcome mes senger of enlightenment, especially to the pio- gressive class of our people. Some old fogies of assumed modesty and contracted ideas, some times express horror at some publications made in its columns,such as they term “sensa tional,” while they are found frequently un- concions inquirers for it. Not being subscribers iLemselves, would ask, “Did yonr Herald come t>day?” and, alter seeing several copies, would whet their appetites, that re quired to be appeased, by a regular feast upon the “spicy" columns of the Herald. Ido not say this, Messrs. Editors, merely to tickle yonr fancies, but as facts and an admiration of industry and a spirit of progressiveness. Not that I have any ill will towards any other journals, but there is no doubt m my own mind but that the biith ot the Hebald, in Atlanta, has given new impetus and shed a lustre upon rivals that caused an endeavor on their part to emulate the example of the Herald. Yon may not claim the proclivities of a Joshua of old in the merits of the Herald in causing the “Son” to stand still, but it is thought that an influence has been wrought in causing the setting of a particular “Sun.” Most persons do not desire to take but one newspaper in the same city, and certainly subscribe for the best, even if they have to give up subscribing to an old friend. THE CROPS. However I did not commence this letter to indulge in tirade for one or more friends or a laudation of others, bat write yon some crop news. Planters in this section have been melancholy and disheartened, until within two or three weeks past, on account of a perfect deluge and continued rains, permitting that dreadful monster, the grass, to wave his proud and luxuriant head in deflance, and take hold with an almost unrelenting grasp, every nook and corner of the fields. But since the rain has ceased the keen edge of the farmer’s tools, together with the piercing rays of the sun have put to death well nigh the entire crop of the green enemy. But the backwardness, the stunted and dwarfed condition of the cotton, will cut it off at least a third short of a full crop. How ever, the warm, dry weather has acted like magic upon the plant iu making it spread and put forth fuli fruited. The destructive caterpillar has been seen io nearly every farm to a limited quantity, aod his appearance in force is expected soon, in which event a rapid destruction of the crop will ensue. Tne coin crops in this vicinity are not good owing to the lateness of cessation of the raio not giving time to clear it of the grass befoie the too near appioacb of maturity of the ears to have been beuelitted by attention. Peas, potatoes and the like are very good growing luxuriantly, and a good crop is ex pected to be harvested. Two or three good rains at proper intervals will make all the crops planted. We pine tor and envy your good old nttie bellum justice in dealing with the law in your State, in consequence of the healthy and genial status of your political atmosphere. The poisoned and venomous elements that float about ns, bsuiDg from the malarial rottenness of the highest and lowest official stations is appalling, as it is disgusting. Ihe inability of illiterate Judges, the descendant of Ethiopian dark ness, a Congressman, a negro of midnight blackmss, a legislator; also superintendent of schools, the same, as well as many other official stations, filled by negroes and mon grels whose moral, and principles are as black as their sleek, shining and greasy coun tenances, which are a teiror to modest manli ness and a horror and disgrace to an enlight ened and intelligent civilization. B. matter was looked at in a purely business light the inducements for our citizeus to make an effort to locate the institute here would be sufficiently tempting. But there is another reason. Atlanta ought to 4se, and is destined to be, a great educa tional centre. Here we expect to see institu tions ol learning established which will annual ly send forth to all points the future men of the South. There is freedom iu this part of our table land; tbe very atmosphere inspires one with the loftiest ideas. "jHere men become broad of mind and libera], and here will be found that Fountain of Youth from whose waters the coming soldiers and sages will imbibe the wisdom which will regenerate the South and add to her fame. Of course there will always be moan men in Atlanta—men with narrow, contracted ideas, but they will only be solemn warnings to humanity, and the exceptions going to prove the rule. Iu all seriousness, however, it is important to Atlanta to make an effort to have the In stitute located here. It will benefit the city greatly, and if our men of money will unite they can easily make successful the movement to re establish it. Already Forsyth, Mari etta and other towns, are contending for the prize. Atlanta shonld be worthy of her name and not lag behind in tbe race. Seventy-five or a hundred thousand dollars could be read ily raised in land aud money for the purpose, and we are certain that the investment would be profitable both to the men who invested and to the city at large. THE BREAKING LP OF TIIK CRIS PINS. The announcement that the “Crispin” or ganization, in Massachusetts, is breaking up, will not surprise any person who has closely observed the progress of trade*’ unions. We doubt if any labor organization was ever so formidable as that of the shoemakers of Mass achusetts. Their rales were rigid, their dis cipline perfect, and until they overstepped the bounds of common sense they were sim ply invincible. But, like all other organiza tions of the tind, they fell into the error of believing that they could force capital on its knees before them. Because they were suc cessful in one series of strikes, they labored under the impression that they would force their employers to yield to their every de mand. Not content with placing labor on au equality with capital, they sought to make it superior to money, forgetting that in the uttempt they were guilty of the same offense of which they had complained, and which had made their organization possible. When these last demands were made, the capitalists resisted them, declaring that it would be ruin to accede to them. Pressed to the wall by the unreasonable and arrogant de mands of the Crispins, the factors submitted to temporary loss, and, supported by public opinion, triumphed. The final result is to be seen in the breaking up of the “Crispins,” and the throwing of thousands of working men completely at the mercy of capitalists. There is a moral in tbe present condition of the Crispins which all other labor unions should bear in mind. It is that there is al ways a certainty of men losing everything in striving to obtain too much. Capital, when it attempts to be dictatorial and to reduce labor to abject submission, invariably suffers in the end; and when labor essays the role of dictator and tyrant, it is equally certain to fail. For both to prosper there must be re ciprocity of interests and a mutual respect for each other. A. T. Stewart, who has just started on a tour in Europe, made his will before sailing, by which it appears that he is worth one hundred millions of dollars. He has no children of his own, hence we trust it will not be thought bold on our part to express the hope that we are handsomely remembered in that will. A couple of millions would not help us to any considerable extent, it is true, but os a slight token of our friend Stewart’s appreciation of our merits, the money would be accepted, If he does not propose to leave us anything, we must ask with Bulwer, “What will be do with H.” Up in a Balloon. DANGER3 car 2BRIAL, NAYIGATICIN —FREEZING COLT, STARVATION AND CTANIBAXJSM-—FEARFUL WANDERINGS—THE WRECK OF MATTER AND THE CRUSH OF WORLDS. The Chicago Tribune claims to have been annoyed ever since it has been known that the Graphic people intended to ullow the rep resentatives of a few leading papers to have berths in the balloon with which they intend to test the feasibility of cereal navigation to Europe, by a steady stream of individuals offering their services as correspondents for the Tribune on this expedition. For the benefit of these eager volunteers it concocts a sketch of the miseries and calamities that may chance to befall the adventurous voy agers, which it hopes is sufficiently terrifying to diminish the number of applications. After presenting the possibility of sundry outward accidents in starting, it proceeds to discuss the dire misfortunes that may occur, even should it get off all right. A startling scientific theory is propounded in terms that are as clear as mud, and then a series of most terrific evils are described as follow’s: A local scientist of eminence, celebrated for his in vestigation into the theory of hot corn, has stated that as the balloon goes up it gets a twist put on it like a billiard ball, and that it goes spinning off at an angle, subtended by the piano of its own meridian, or nearly so, and proportionate to the earth’s parallax at that particular moment. There fore, the balloon will either reach Spitsbergen, if the twist is to the left, or a point near the Congo river, in Africa, if it is to the ri^ The notions of the persons dwelling in this last named coantry as to the rights of proper ty and persons are not very distinct, to begin with, aud the trivelers may be stripped of all they have on. The heat of tbe climate is such that they will not mind this much, but they will also be held as slaves aud put to hard work, which is not pleasant, and will lower their opinion of the colored race. Tuey had better read Captain Riley's narrative of his adventures in Africa, and see what a time he had of it. But this is c ikes and ginger bread to what will happen if they go to tne north east ou the way to the Polar Sea. Beneath them them they see vast stretches of half fro zen water, broken by LAND FRINGED WITH ICEBERGS and covered with eternal snow. No hotels, no markets, no grocery stores, no place where they can stop and buy even a box of sardines or a can of oysters. It is positively distress ing. Provisions are nearly out. Home is several miles away. It is getting chilly. The gas is nearly exosmosed. They are coming down nearer and nearer to earth whether they will or no. After having eaten their valises and their umbrellas, they will probably cast lots as to who shall be—but let the curtain drop here. Then it is very possible that the balloon may burst while it is high up in the air, and the contents will ran a lively race to the ocean. While they are coming down they can amuse themselves by ESTIMATING THE HEIGHT, and then multiplying their own height by the square of their velocity, get a fair idea boa- hard they will hit. Ot course this will not save their lives, but it will serve to pass the time. Down they will go, unnoticed and un cared for, unless some ship should happen to be sailing by, and the captain should make an entry in his log to the effect that several things, supposed to be meteoric stones, fell near them that day. Every scientific reader can imagine for himself the’hazards to which one of these great balloons is exposed. Tran quil as tbe bright worlds beyond the clouds may appear, they are in a state of constant change. Tiny spheres of matter break up and dash madly eastward, but are mostly con sumed by reason of the intense heat generated by friction with the atmosphere, before they reach the surface. Just fancy the consequen ces if one of these MESSENGERS OF WRATH, more dangerous than the angel with the fiery sword, were to hit the balloon. It would blaze in a minute, and the car would come tumbling down. Or the balloon may fail them, and they may have to take to the life boat. It is a delicate operation, this swapping horses, and if successfully done results iu leaving a party ot people, mostly unaccus tomed to sailing, afloat in a cockle-shell, pos sibly £o be becalmed far from vessels, and to be driven to act as if they had been caught off Spitzbergen. Besides, these volunteers do not seem to remember that when they get in those higher regions whb h the balloon must necessarily traverse in ord.-r to get the benefit of the great air-river, th y reach a place where the cold is so intense and con stant 1hat the chilliest day’s of last winter are as nothing to it. It is worse than standing on Randolph street Bridge when the west wind blows. Here, too, it is always blowing a steady gale of about FIVE HUNDEED MILES AN HOUR, an irresistible torrent, which will sweep the balloon b lore it no one knows whither. It may be borne into some airy maelstrom that lies far away beyond the uppermost stars. It may be hurried beyond the bounds of space and wrecked on the shores of unknown worlds, whence the newspaper representatives could sec the sun that lights us shining as a mere point in the infinite distance. Lef these young men reflect how they will feel when they are up aloft, wild winds screaming aud howling through tbe cordage of the balloon, they themselves lashed tightly to the car to keep from being blown out; the thermometer sinking lower and lower, until the air itself becomes glittering crystals which sting their faces, and their life-blood running more and 3luggishiy. Their frozen hands cannot pull the rope to discharge the gas. The intense frost does its work, and with ATLANTA PAPER MILLS. For “NeW.,’* w. reffcr to this issue APOTHECARIES. street, Atlanta, Ga.

A party ot hunters recently stampeded a herd of buffaloes right to the brink of the preci pice. The foremost brutes, appreciating tbeir critical situation, attempted to avert the calamity, hut the frightened hundreds behind crowded forward with characteristic persist ency. The front rank, with legs stretched toward each cardinal point of the compass, bellowed in concert and descended to their fate. Before the pressure from behind could he stopped, the next rank and the next raDk followed, imitating the gesture and tbe bel lowing of the first. For thirty seconds it rained bufiGeloes, and tbe white aand at the foot of that bluff was incarnadine with the life blood of wild meat, and not until the tails of fifty or seventy-five of that herd had waved adieu to this wicked world did the movement cease.—Denver News.

The balloon, with this remarkable eargo, might go floating along for years, the Flying Dutchman of the Upper world, a warning to all who carry curi osity beyond natural bounds, and, at last, in the slow conrse of time, • it would descend somewhere, and the people gathering around would see those frozen men sitting in a circle, clothed in the garments of other days, with gaunt and obsolete instruments aud utensils around them. It must be remembered that these people are not going to travel in a I’ul- man dining-car. They have no stoves, for fire is a dangerous thing in the windy ways they are to traverse. Their coffeo is warmed only by the heat generated by slaking lime. They canDOt even smoke. They cannot exer cise. They have to sit wrapped in overcoats with gloves on, and cannot play cards. They can only talk with chattering teeth and blue Ups, and sigh for land, and WISH TREY HAD NOT COME. Is it, then, worth while to expose oneself to all these discomforts and perils for the sake of a little money and a little temporary repu tation ? And if they die, on Rea or shore, there will merely be a paragraph in the papers that the several idiots, names given iu full, who undertook the foolhardy enterprise of going to Europe in a balloon, died, as might have been expected. Perpetual Ice.—The Poughkeepsie Tele graph says that there is a pass iu the Catskill Mountains, between Shandakin Centree and Westkill, Ulster county, where snow and ice can be found at all seasons of the year. A road runs some five miles np a deep hollow, bounded on the two sides by high mountains, with a clear, ice-cold stream of water running down its center. Stretching across the head of this hollow is another mountain somewhat higher than tho others, that makes one think the passageway had suddenly terminated in a sort of cul do sac, but upon arriving at its base the road turns directly to the right and enters a narrow pass, hardly fifty feet in width. On each side the mountains tower upward a thousand feet from the roadway, not perpendicular, but so steep that when the trees have shed tbeir foliage the top can be seen by a person standing at the foot. There is snow and ice during tho hottest days of summer a few feet from the roAdside. There are large masses of solid ice in somo caves not further than five feet from the road. Strange as it may seern, the growth of vege tation is very rank, the lichens especially cov ering the rocks profusely, though animals are very scarce, it being too cold for their comfort. A New York correspondent says Apprehen sions of a short supply of Crotou begin to be expreseed. The average daily consumption within the city limits is said to be about ninety-five million gallons, while the various sources of supply at present are yielding but thirty-five millions. The reservoirs, how ever, can stand the drain for a month yet to come without serious inconvenience, but Shonld they have no rain in the meantime tho situation in that event would certainly be serious. The acqucdnct commissioners hence are sending round circulars urging consumers to be as economical as possible. A. S 1 k B. F.
