Daring three months Gainesville shipped $49,000 -worth of chickens. The Advertiser says that the celebrated White Sul* phur Springs, six miles from Gainesville, have been crowded to oversowing the entire season. Such is their popularity that a system of rotation, almost, has bean inaugurated; and to secure accommodations par* ties have had to engage them in advance. The thirty-sixth annual session of the Wesleyan Female College, at Macon, commences on the 6th of October. It has been recently found that a number of the Ma con merchants use incorrect weights and measures. Immense amounts of land are being sold to foreign capitalists in Bartow, Polk, Murray, Dado and Gilmer counties, at exceedingly low figures. During the Pair an extra train will be run upon the Rome Railroad. A crowd of Yankee soldiers are stirring up illicit distillers in Hart and Elbert counties. Elberton Gazette: There is a professed preacher, half negro, half Indian, traveling through tbe country in the interest of the Methodist Episcopal Church (North), whose great object seems to be to get up a “NOW AIN’T IT lITTLEI" Probably, never since Quilp waged the pinching war against his poor little wife, has the world witnessed such a generous, white- souled, magnanimous warfare as that waged (in its “on the fence’* way) by the Constitu tion against this paper. A fair up and down fight we are not at all averse to, and a square, high-toned, skull-cracking lick, sent flying from the shoulder, is a thing to be rejoiced at. But a small and petty contest, inspired by spite and carried on below the belt, is a thing disgusting to all fair minded men. Now, we propose to call attention to just one item that will characterize this contemptible rivalry. For some time past the various societies and religious institutions for which; the two papers have done favors, have been in the habit of “returning thanks” to the papers through their own columns for these favors. The Herald, of course, publishing the “card” always just as it comes from the la dies. The Constitution, on the other hand, publishes the “card,” but leaves out all men tion of the Herald. For instance—The Catholic Concert ladies, received their notices gratis from this office; besides this, we printed $10 worth of tickets and programmes for them, and when they palled out the money to pay, presented them to the ladies. They, then, in their gratitude sent to the two papers a “a card,” in which both papers were thanked, but the Herald especially. The Herald published it as the ladies sent it, only taking the liberty to moderate the “thanks” returned to the Herald, as fol lows: To Mr. Jake Shehane for his personal ser vices gratitously tendered. To the Concor dia Association, for courtesies. To the Con stitution, for many favors. To the Herald, for their kindness, and to the public tor its M. The Constitution, however, left out all al- feeling among the blacks against the whites. We informed that he tells the negroes that the white peo- ] liberal patronage, pie are not giving them their rights; that they belong to that branch of the Methodiet Church which sus- j lnsion to the Herald, and prints it as fol- tained the institution of slavery; that they ought to j i ows - break off their connection with that church, and join . i .. w . .... . t , . .. ... . . * i To Mr. Jake Schane, for his personal ser- the^h that lousht to free then,; .nd that if the, ^ gratuitously rendered. „ ?» wlI ‘ h * v » * cho “ ls m gr **‘ I To the Concordia Association for courtesies and they will have all their rights guaranteed to reC pi ve( j them and . mu. of that sort of noosensc. j To Tub CoxsTiTUTios for many favors, and A young man named James Fowler, about nineteen | fl,e public for liberal patronage. years old, was killed by lightning last Thursday after noon in Elbert county. The railroad is the all-absorbing topic among the people of this beautiful little village, all of whom are warmly enlisted in its behalf. Prominent among its most interested supporters are F. B.

Thirty-five shares of Mobile ani Montgomery Rail road Company preferred stock were sold in Augusta, at public sale on Tuesday, at 12 cents per share. Mrs. M. A. Johnson, wife of Mr. Robert G. Johnson, died at her residence in Muscogee county at half past 3 o’clock Thursday morning, September 4th, 1873. The dog killer is abroad in Columbus, and all dogs that bare not collars purchased from the city are killed. Mias Rebecca Chappell, of Wynton, near Columbus, and Mr. J. H. Toomer, of Norfolk, Va., were married the 4th. A handsome and accomplished lady of Columbus has written a novel, which is soon to be published by a New York house of prominence. Newton Superior Court will convene next Monday week—the 15th Inst. The citizens of Conyers held a meeting on Monday last to take into consideration the importance of or ganizing a fire company. The Union Meetings in Covington are still progress, lng with mneb interest. At the home of their mother, Mr. Mary A. Carter, near Madison, Georgia, on Saturday, August 30tb, Miss Sadie Carter died at half past twelve o’clock, and within less than one hour, her youngeat sister, Miss Nannie Carter, followed her—both dying of con gestion. after suffering with billious lever about one week. A Covington minister refused to officiate at the burial of an old lady last Sunday, on the ground that "she was not a member of his church.” Rev. Dr. Fuller, of Atlanta, will preach in the Bap tist church in Newnan this morning and evening, nsual hours. Now, whenever the Herald descends to such a pitiable pitch as to be forced to send a stab through such contemptible means as this we hope the paper will be stopped tbe very next day, and its editors drummed out of the profession. The Constitution, for once, takes the lead of the Herald; it leads it in malice and littleness. Unlike that paper, we shall decline to “imitate.” We were determined to let the people and the profession know of this little trick; and if there is a single paper, big or small, in the breadth of the land that will dare to come out and say that this thing was not thoroughly unprofessional and ineffa bly small, we will get down on our marrow bones and apologize to our doughty rival. OUR ANNUAL TRADE STATEMENT. YVe call attention to the skeleton announce ment of the Annual Trade Statement of At lanta and its neighbors which appears in an other column. Every city of note in the West and North, issues one of these sheets every year. The Memphis Appeal, covering fourteen mammoth pages, come to us a day or two since, containing a masterly review of the business of all of West Tennessee. Charleston speaks cheeringly and hopefully through eight pages of the News and Courier. New’ Orleans, breathing prosperity through twelve pages of the Picayune, tells us of the freight that bur dens the Mississippi.

Some of them have been written by gentlemen whom we highiy esteem; some have been temperate and conciliatory, others vindictive and illiberal; some have supported, others have opposed the reading of tbe Bible in the Public School--and all, whether Irom friend or foe, whether mild and tolerant, or bitter and intolerant, have had, in our opin ion at least, a tendency to bring about that most deplorable and unprofitable of all quarrels, a religious controversy. Consequently we have declined to publish everything on the subject sent to us. Our opinions have already been expressed. Should the question at any time become oue of public agitation, we shall not hesitate to take posi tion; but so long as it is confined to a friendly topic of conversation, the Herald must de cline becoming the medium of fanning a spark into a flame. Those of our correspondents who have waxed angry because of our declinations to publish their contributions on the subject, do us injustice and entirely misunderstand our mission. It is not the premise of the Herald to take part in religious discussions. It is our duty iu the interests of morality and of society to defend and support all religions which teach of God, but we are neither a Methodist, a Catholic, a Baptist, a Jew, a Presbyterian or an Episcopal newspaper. We contribute our mite and our influence to each and every church with strict impartiality, be cause we believe that each is engaged in a laudable work and merits our sympathy and support But we cannot take sides with one church or the other, save where injustice is so patent as to demand the expression of opinion, and when that contingency arrises, whether the parties in the wrong be Methodist or Catholic, Baptist or Jewish, Presbyterian or Episcopal, we shall not hesitate to condemn it with that frankness of language and inde pendence of thought that have characterized the Herald from its first issue. But we cannot even indirectly aid in stir ring up tho spirit of religious fanaticism. The world has suffered sufficiently from the bigotry of zealots, and, besides, the spiiit of our age is rightfully against intolerance. If the sectarian religious press desire to discuss the question by all means let them do so. The Herald is a secular paper whose highest aim is to so conduct itself that it can find favor in the eyes of all religious denomina tions. To please all without often ding any is a simple task to which it is assigned, and this it will perform even though it offends a few well-meaning but rash men, whose prejudices have got the best of their judgment and who mistake bigotry for zeal. ATLANTA MEDICAL COLLEGE. LAST PAYMENT OF THE FRENCH WAR INDEMNITY. In paying the last instalment of their war j j. j ,, Tk ’ll* TV indemnity, the French people have completed i W'S JjOCfll.011^ J^tC« a feat unparalleled in the annals of tho world. ! In but a Utile over two years they have ran- THE FACULTY — IMPROVEMENTS. somed their territory from the conquerors by ! paying one thousand millions of dollars in] a day or two ago a Herald reporter bad the pleasure gold, and that, too, without suspending specie I of accompanying Dr. William Abram Love on a visit to the Atlanta Medical College, and examining the marked improvements now being made there. On the way there we were glad to notice that the sidewalks on Decatur street had been neatly paved to Butler street, on which last named street tbe College ia situated. Paving the sidewalks on Butler from Decatur to the college, only a few squares, would give the stu dents dry footing from the centre of the city to the college. The building is situated on a commanding point in a beautiful part of the city. The substantial character of this building must impress every beholder at first sight. The grounds, too, are ample for the purposs of the school. The various lecture rooms large and commodious, suitable aute-rooma being connected with each. The museum and dissecting rooms were objects of great interest to the reporter who had not been there before. We have not apace to tell what we saw there, suffice it to say that medical students who desire practical illustrations of the work ings of disease need not paSB Atlanta to obtain them. Extensive improvements are being made in every part of the building, the interior being cleanaed and reno vated thoroughly, seats repaired, aad floors repaired where needed. The skylights are also receiving need ed attention, while the dome, window blinds, etc., are being nicely painted. This building has ample capacity for tho reception and instruction of four hundred students. At the last session, which was the first winter session, there were one liuudred students in attendance, and it Is confidently expected by tbe Dean that the number in attendance this winter will be two hundred. LIBERALITY OF THE FACULTY. The improvements being made in the building and grounds are beiDg done at the expense of the faculty, who thus add additional evidence of their earnest desire for the success of the college. They alao pre scribe gratuitously throughout the year for all outdoor patients who apply at the college for treatment, fur- nishiug the medicines free of charge. For this purpose a thorough dispensary is kept within the College building, and here every day of tbe Professors spends several hours in treating MACON DEPARTMENT. H. C. STEVENSON payments; without reducing their annual budget of expenditures, and without inflicting any appreciable injury on the country. It is very true that their burdens havo been greatly increased in the shape of additional taxation, but they have borne the weight with a pa tience and a patriotism which are sublime in their heroism. France is a rich country. Eighteen years of unprecedented prosperity under Napoleon III. has given them a wealth second only to that of Great Britain. Bat while there was plenty of money in France to pay the indem nity, and while the credit of the country was superb, it required a self-sacrificing spirit of patriotism to perform the feat in the brief space of time in which it has been performed. Without reflecting upon the iove of country of any people, we may well wonder if any others in the world than the French would have acted as well and as promptly under the same circumstances. To love France with all the ardor and passsion of a son for his moth er, is with a Frenchman a second nature; thus, when we hear in every part of France, whether in city or in village, from morning till night, Ihe monotonous refrain, “Mourir de la Patrie,” we can understand the depth of feeling and the lover-like devotion for the land of his nativity which has to-day given to Franco aud to Frenchmen a brighter glory than war has ever won them. Free now from the presence of the armed conqueror, th© French are left to 4 work out their own future. If they are as prudent as they have been self sacrificing, they will avoid anything like an irritating policy. We fear, however, that with the retirement of the ! these poor victims of disease.

Assist them with your figures and facts, and we will produce a paper next Sunday that New York would not be ashamed of. Parties desiring to purebaso papers, or ad vertising space, will please call early in the week and select position.

In some parts of Macon, Bussell and Pika, the cotton is badly damaged by the cater pillar and boll worm, while Bullock county, especially on the bottom lauds, wfll lose nearly her entire crop. Pike county has about the best general outlook for a medium crop of any of these counties. The cry la becoming too general, now, to be unheeded, that the cotton crop 1# doomed to an almost total destruction this year. The Commissioners’ court of Lee county have levied a county tax at tbe rate of one-half of one per cent. In Clay county the corn and cotton crop* are fine. No worms have appeared, and the people are in a fair way to get out of debt and live at home. Gov. Smith Invited to Visit New York.—Oov J. M. Smith has been invited to attend the mass meet ing of merohanta which takes place in New York on next Wednesday, caUod in the interest of cheap trans portation, and to address tbe meeting. His engage mints, however, will not permit him to be abeaat so long. TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS IN GEOR GIA AND ALABAMA. We take this method of requesting our correspondents or agents in every town and village of Georgia and Alabama, to prepare and forward as soon as possible to this office, a short and succinct statement of the crops in their own and the neighboring counties. We desire this information for the next Sunday’s Herald as a supplement to the review of Atlanta’s trade for the past year, and her prospects for the coming year. We shall trust, gentlemen, that this “call” will be suf ficient to bring you all to the desired mark. We have addressed a circular to the Mayor or Postmaster of every city, town and village that has commercial relations with Atlanta within our boundary, asking (or a short re view of the business and growth of the place during the past year just closing, and the next Sunday’s Herald will contain over filty columns of regular “Georgia glory.” We have the best State in the Union, and we propose to prove it in just one week from to-day. Let us hear lrom you gentlemen early ia the week. MUTUAL INSURANCE. We shall publish a series of communica tions under this head from the pen of Mr. Wm. King, of Marietta, one of tbe oldest and most distinguished insurance men in Georgia. Tbe articles are written at the request of a member of the Merchants’ “On Change,” ond Mr. King will deliver an address on Tuesday night at the Chambers of Commerce, at the meeting called to consider the insurance question. THE ACTION OF THE COUNCIL FOR WATER-WORKS. By the action of the City Council last Fri day night authority was given to the Board of Water Commissioners to issue $300,000 of bonds, the proceeds to be used iu the con struction of water-works for the city. We heartily approve of the Council’s action, and trust that the Commissioners will now go to work and give us an efficient system of water works in the briefest possible space of time. Those who dread that the issue of the bonds will embarrass the finances of the city, can safely dismiss their fears. There is no reason why the Water Works should not sustain it self, pay the interest on the bonds, and pro vide a sinking fund lor their redemption, as in other cities. It lies in the power of the Council to make the Water Works self-sus taining from the start, and this power it should unhesitatingly exercise, not only in the interest of the finances of Atlanta, but also in the interest of the health and well being of the people. We place full confidence in the Board of Water Commissioners; hence, we believi they will have the Works constructed econom ically and with dispatch. It is, therefore, with much satisfaction that we see one great need of Atlanta in process of being satisfied. Much agitation and no little argument have been required to effect the object sought, but the question has at last been settled and Mr. Murphy, the President of the Board, who has displayed much energy in, and devoted no little attention to the great work, and his colleages of the Board, who have been equal ly active and zealous, can now proceed and put into execution the plans they have per fected. We trust that there will not anything trans pire to delay or retard the progress of the work, but that before another September ar rives, we shall be able to boast of as efficient and thorough a system of water works as any city in the South possesses.

We doubt, indeed, if they will be able to repress the feeling; hence, it will not surprise us to hear it if the payment of the indemnity is followed by gigantic preparations for another war, which will only end either in tho wresting of more territory from France or in the recovery of Alsace and Lorriano and the realizing of that long dream of Frenchmen, the Rhine for the boundary of Fiance. But whatever rashness the French may now display it cannot take away from them the true glory they havo earned in their sublime Tlie Afr-LIn i Olcl»r»tlon. The meeting called by W. J. Garrett, Vice President Board of Trade, to perfect arrangements for the cele bration of tbe completion of the Air-Line Railroad, assembled at ten o’clock. Col. J. A. Stewart presided.

No sooner had this information reached Macon than a move was made to secure it. as an nounced in the Atlanta papetB. The Laboratory Building, two miles north ot tho city, with all its extensive grounds—the point, as we all remember, whero the great Fair of ’C9 was held— was suggested as a proper donation. The institution would indeed be lucky if it could secure these splendid quarters for its uses. It is doubtful if the improve ments already on the grounds could be rebuilt for less than $150,00u, and should the city of Macon or tbe company to which this Confederate laboratory be longs agree to make the oiler, it will no doubt be very readily accepted by the trustee*. At least, it ought to be, for there is nothing in the 8tate so perfectly adapted for their purposes. The buildiug and the grounds could be pat in order for their acceptance and accommodation in sixty days. There is a determined spirit in the city to-day to secure that institution snd the Catholic University. Each are regarded as absolutely essential to the pro gress of Macon. It is hoped that the vast details Of the great State Fair will not deter a proper consider ation ot these ten times more weighty matter*. Funeral of \V. A. Hopson. Tbe remains of W. A. Hopson were buried in Rose Hill Cemetery yesterday afternoon, with all the civil and military honois which the living can pay to the dead, at the hour announced. Christ Church, draped in mourning, was filled by friends and acquaintances of the deceased. The storea and other places of business through out the city were closed.

We are very glad indeed that our Macon correspondent has taken off our hands the disagreeable necessity of replying to the naughty satire that was spun from between Reese’s pink fingers in yesterday’s Telegraph. You see. we never like to get after Reese. He is pat ap on such a dainty and fragile plan, that we feel, when wo are scraping him down, exactly as if we were handling Dresden China. We are always afraid we’ll drop him and break him—and this we should hate to do, for it is possible that in tho inscrutable intentions of Provi dence, even Reese was put upon earth for some usefal purpose; and as he has not yet accomplished if, (or as far as we know even begun it) we should hate to cut him off be fore he bad f worked out his little end. Now, if it were the vigorous Clisby who his ac quired strength by tho raising of numberless cabbages, and retained it by the eating of them, or the virtuous Jones, on the summit of whose nose the sunset of passing cocktails gratefully lingers, we should unhesitatingly scalp them. But aa it is Reese—gaudy crea ture—we forbear. He is just absolutely too sweet to kill. Personal Intelligence. A few days ago wo had the pleasure of mooting Mr. Davenport Jackson of Augusta, Solicitor General of that Circuit, snd one of the most promising lawyers in the State. Ho bad just returned from a Northern tour and speaks very enthusiastically of tbe manner he en joyed himself while traveling. We think we have per suaded him to write ua a letter, telling where he went and what he saw. Hence we forbear to comment on hia description of it to us. We trust we may soon bo enabled to publish some Interesting and spicy letters from his pen.

Editors, which, if properly engineered, will give honorable em ployment to all who are here, and as many more, and in doing this will afford such re muneration as will entirely remove this load of responsibility, and give much comfort to the almoners. I briefly referred to such a scheme and its successful workings in a neighboring city some months ago, through your paper, and there is no just reason why it should not be equally potent in the present emergency. If desired this scheme can be elaborated and all can determine then of its feasibility. You have touched a cord which ought to vibrate responsively iu every breast, aud you do well to urge tho consideration of this great subject before the winter’s cold shall have placed many of the Lord’s poor beyond the reach of this charitable provision.

In the vicinity of Greenfield, Iu This entertainment would conduce to a better state j of feeling between the different sections of country. A. D. Adair moved that the Board of Trade ask tbe Council to donate $2,000 for this purpose, and that Friday tbe 12th of September be aet apart aa tbe diy. Captain John Stephens thought tbe Council ought to pay about one half tbe expense. Mr. Adair’s motion was amended so as to read— that the Council be requested to meet at 8 o’clock to-night and make a liberal donation for the enter tainment. A. K. Seago thought the few member* of the Cham ber of Commerce present could or ought not to assume to reflect public sentiment. Did not know whether tbe tax payers wanted to make this donation or not. Iherefore he could not vote for the measure. Col. A. J. McBride thought Mr. Beago’s premises were not well founded; thought this the proper op portunity to preperly celebrate the completion of this important enterprise. Captain John Stephens stated that at tbe ia&t regular meeting of the Board of Trade they heartily indorsed this measure. Captaiu Langston called attention to the fact that this was not a in -eting of the Board of Trade—but a citizen*’ meeting. Alderman Doting thought the time till the 12th was too short. The amount the entertainment would cost ought to be ascertained as nearly as possible.

Derry was indignant, aud wept over his beloved gosling as Achilles wept over the body of Fatroclus, but nursed his wrath iu silence ontil tho following day. Then did Lucinda Kingan, re-enforced by her husband, Har rison Kingau, meet Samuel Derry in battle array. The signal was sounded and hostil ities opened by a desperate blow from Kingau on tho head of Derry with a war club. Den y re torted with a brick, burled with such impetu ous force that it felled Kingan to the earth, while the State of Senator Morton shook to its center. The war that for a Rpacc did fail, now trebly thundering swelled the gale, and “Goslings!” was the cry. Tho male aud female Kindau at once opened on Derry-down with knivep, and gave his soul a wide exit with five deadly holes, which they punched in his body with their weapons. Even as Victoria Woodhull, with dilated eye and nostril dance a war jig on the lecture platform over the slaughtered boud of matri mony, did Lucinda dance in triumph around the body of her brother, whose blood will give a delicate relish, surpassing that of sauce figurante or toothsome jelly, to her green gos ling uoxt Christmas. When all is lovely tho goose hangs high. In this case it would be well to let Lucinda and her gosling hang to gether.
