’UACON, JULY 12, 1870.
"^plphian Society Celebration..
Iiioanial celebration of the Adelphian So-
. 0 f the W. F. College came off on last Fri-
^’eveuing at the College ChapeL The occa-
■’ was on® of vcr Y g roat interest fo the joting
s< *, e of Macon, and the exercises were in an
^yit degree successful. The weather lent
?. joJ >rill for the occasion. Commencement
j*L| hero is proverbially a week of dust and
^acht and drowsy discomfort; but for this
clouds stretched out their sheltering
. „ jaJ plead with the sun, even to tears, in
toll of the Society, its Poet and Orator. The
was lull; andtho sizo aild marked atten-
• of the audience gave added interest to the
U don. To do justice to all concerned would
oce L fe a in0 ro extended notice than can be
rt< *n in tins notice. In each performance
? . was something meritorious—more, of
1 j n some than in others—bntwe can only
®?jj fre a general ontline, noticing briefly
jhose parts which seemed to us especially wor-
^l^ B udc was, upon the whole, such as we
• 4t ispect from the yourg ladies of the Wes-
Tan Female College—its general character is
1 ) well known to require ns to say more.
The program^ 0 was admirable, consisting of
K adin^ anil recitations of prose and poetry,
dialog 0 ** in character, songs, serious and fanny,
an original poem and an original speech. The
selections and songs were well chosen, fnrnish-
in ^ a popular and chaste entertainment. The
young ladies generally showed, in their readings
ind recitations, that they had a very good con-
” ion 0 f the spirit of their pieces. The Com
position on Lady Huntington, written by Jane
T. H. Cross, was read very distinctly. Leigh
gnat’s poem on “the name John." was rendered
in a naturally sweet voice and with much appre
ciation of its humor. The young lady who re
cited it seemed to take a malicious pleasure in
making every “John" there present feel that
their parents had done them great injustice in
Pans labeling thorn for the journey of life. The
point of the dialogue from ‘-Pickwick” between
the kero of the book and Mrs. Bardel), which
led to the famous breach of promise case failed,
from some reason, to be appreciated by the au
dience. A poem, “Recrimination,” was recited
in a clear voice by a young lady of Macon.
“The Mission of a Sunbeam” was recited dis
tinctly. sweetly and well.
The audience was highly entertained at the
doss of part first, by an original poem written
for the occosion, and recited by the author,
Kev. A H. Campbell, a member of the gradu
ating class of Emory College. The subject was
the Memories of the Past The poem was a
production of great merit and remarkable finish
—albeit some few lines were not altogether
metrical—for a new risen star in the poetical
firmament It struck the popular heart and
was received with rounds of applause. Mr.
Campbell has certainly the poetical faculty;
evidently, he can, if he will, succeed even in
this most difficult department of literary effort.
Two young ladies who appeared in Part Sec
ond deserve especial praise. They showed real
genins in rendering their parts in song and dia
logue. Miss Patterson, in the song—“I saw
Es*u kissing Kate,” in reading an extract from
*M»rk Twain’ ” and in the dialogue “Lind me
the Loan of a Gridiron” showed decided talent;
and Miss Julia Bass rendered the character of
Peg Woffington inimitably. “The Famine”
from “Hiawatha,” though a difficult piece to
give expression to, was recited beautifully.
'•Katie Lee and Willie Grey,” a touching little
ballad was also well recited.
The songs were sweet and sweetly sung,
though they were not generally heard by the
audience. The orator of the occasion was our
fellow townsman, Walter B. Hill, a member of
the graduating class of the University of Geor
gia, and not yet nineteen years old. It was a
capital speech, original and characteristic. The
subject was Sympathy. The audience showed
their judgment of the matter by listening with
interest and applauding more than usual during
its delivery.
The whole affair was brilliant and interesting
throughout, and reflected the highest honor np-
npon all the fair participants. The Chapel
was most tastefully decorated with wreaths,
flowers, etc., and the walls hung with many flue
specimens of painting and drawing by the pu
pils of the Institution. A flower stand on front
of tho rostrum was most artistically and ex
quisitely arranged, and attracted much attention
and admiration.
Macon & Wxstebn Railsoad Stock nr New
Yor.it. Sixty shaves of Macon & Western Rail
road stack sold, yesterday, in the New York
market, at §113 per share—fopr cents in the
dot! tr more than it will now bring in the Macon
Market. The only reason for this is, that there
is no surplus money in thi3 market at present
to invest in this class of securities. We all
know that when there is an abundance of money
here, us is now the case in New York, all the
better grades of railroad stock is fnlly §■* per
share liiglior than present quoted rates. What
little stock of the Macon & Western and Central
railroads there is now offering in this market,
is a forced effort on the part of holders to re
alize cash that" cannot be otherwise obtained on
reasonable terms. Hence, we are compelled to
quote this stock from actual sales that have been
forced; but no man will deny that a capitalist
seeking a good investment for surplus cash,
would not pay as much or more in this market
for Macon and Western Stock than in New
York, lienee, to the great scarcity of money,
alone, is attributable the present low rates of
stocks' and Loads in the Macon Market.

The Tors in of War.
Paris, July 7.—The Corps Legislatif yester
day had a stormy session. Do Grammontf the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated it was true
that Prim had offered the Spanish throne to the
Prince Leopold, of Hohenzollern. Ihe Prince
of Hohenzollem had accepted the Spanish
crown, but the Spanish people had not pro
nounced upon the selection. France had yet
to learn the details which had been heretofore
conducted secretly. France would persist in
neutrality, but under no pretext would allow a
Prussian Prince to occupy the Spanish throne.
De Grammont hoped that pmdence in Ger
many, and wisdom in Spain,; would avert ex
tremities.
The Pari3 journals unanimously oppose
Prim’s Hohenzollem project.
LoPajs, the Imperialist journal, erics fpr
war, saying: “France has recent diplomatic
defeats, as teell as Waterloo to avenge, and
Frenchmen are ready to take the same road to
Jena and Berlin which their fathers took!”
The journals allude to the presence of a
Prussian fleet in the Mediterranean.
It is reported that Prim and Topeto are in
harmonious. Topo’.e prefers Alfonso to Hohen
zollern. . hi
It is asserted that the French.Minioiar «t Ber
lin was recalled at two o’clock to-day. Napo-
.leon sent for the Spanish Minister and held a
long interview with him.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs has received
full confirmation of tho massacre of the French
in Pekin. Immediate instructions will be sent
the Commander of the French fleet in Chinese
waters. No special expedition will be dis
patched, as the naval force is deemed sufficient
to vindicate the outraged dignity of France.
Paris, July 7.—It is asserted in well informed
circles that an alliance between France and
Austria has been concluded.
The authorities here have been assured that
full three-fourths of the members of the Span
ish Cortes are favorable to the elevation of the
Prince of Hohenzollem to the Spanish crown.
There seems to be no doubt that the King of
Prussia is also favorable to the project and re
fuses any explanation in reply to a ilote from
the French Government Dispatches from
Madrid announce that at a Council of Ministers
yesterday, tho course of General Prim was unan
imously approved, and the candidacy of the
Prince of Hohenzollem wa3 accepted- They
authorized tho Minister of Foreign Affairs to
present the name of thenew’oandidateto tbeCor-
tes, which will probably be convened expressly
for the purpose. The Council of Ministers hope
that the Prince will receive more than one hun
dred and seventy votes—the minimum required
by the resolution by Qortes of the 3d of Jnno.
The Prince is expected to arrive atMadrid early
inNovember. ASpanishfleetwillbedespatohed
for him. Tho Gaulois, an independent organ,
has tho following this morning: “Gen. Prim,
in reply to a dispatch from Conzag, the Spanish
ambassador to this city, asserts that he' acted
with tho consent of Regent Serrano unofficially,
and outside of diplomacy, and finding difficulty
in obtaining a candidate for the Spanish throne,
ho addressed the Prince of HoheDzollqrn, who
unites many qualities, but whose personal im
portance was thought insufficient to give um
brage to France. As such an emotion has been
created, Gen. Prim retracts, and assures the
French Government of the sincerity of his in
tentions. The Gaulois adds: The question is
settled, so far as Spain is concemod. It re
mains to be seen what Prussia will do after the
scone in the French Chamber, yesterday, and
the unequivocal declaration of tho Dike of
Grammont.
5 p. ii.—There i3 great agitation and activity
in thejt’oreiga office. It is said that a series of tele
grams passed between Prim and Bismarck be
fore the intrigue was discovered by the French
Minister at Berlin. It is not believed that
France would agree to tho conference of the
Great Powers on the question, as she desires to
settle directly with Prussia and Spain. Austria
so far maintains strict neutrality on the ques
tion. It is asserted a French fleet will immedi
ately sai', via Brest, for the Mediterranean.
The rumor that Prim had abandoned the candi
dacy of the Prince of Hohenzollern, in view of
the threatening opposition of tho French, is not
confirmed. Prim wishes to have tho decision
of Cortes on the question, and Insists that the
project is riot hostile to Franco. The Liberte,
to-day, demands that Prussia he forced by Eu
ropean Congress or by war to give a guarantee
which will bind her not to interfere in. the affairs
of other nations. It also calls on France to get
possession of the Rhenish frontiers either, by
diplomacy or war. '
8.p. m, —The Gaulois publishes a second edi
tion to retract its report that Prim had given
way. The Gaulo's states that ho still maintains
the candidature of Prince of Ilohenzoller, but
that the Spanish Minister here has, telegraphed
to Madrid that the project must be abandoned
6r there will be war.
London, July 7.—There is much excitement
on the continent in view of the threatened Eu
ropean complication'on the subject of Prince
Leopold’s candidature for the Spanish tBvone.
Dispatches from Paris say there is strong feel-
ingin France, even outeido of official circles,
against the bestowal of tho Spanish crown on
any Hohenzollern. ' HM|I

Tho Bourse was open last night until eleven
o'clock, with transactions'at 70 and 14—the low
est figures for years. They are a shado firmer
this morning—rentes 70 and 35.
The Constitvtionel, an Imperial organ, an
nounces this morning that the Spanish Minister
has received instructions to , give the French
Government official n'olice of the'earididatnre of
Hohenzollem, The Constilulioneladds: “Y/hcn
Franco becomes convinced of the jtetsistc:-.?; of
Spain in thfe mat|er We; wiH ^eViriauite diplo
matic relations with'her.
Later.—No definite intelligence bail hoc n re-
ceiv d from Rns.ua, but Franco will not be con
tent with an evasive declaration of Count Von
Bismarck, that Prussia ought, in the interest of
peace of Europo to withhold her consent for
Hohenzollem to sit upon the throne of Spain.
From somo official journals this morning are
gathered tbo following details, touching the
candidature of the Prince cf Hohenzollem:
Genoral Primmeaut hostility when the Spanish
Government notified the Great Fowc-rs of Eu
rope of Hohenzollern’s candidature on ihe 3rd
of July. General Prim advised Senor Olazago,
the Spanish minister hare, that he, General
Prim, had. chosen Prince Leopold, of-Hohen
zollern, and that th'o"Spanish ministry felt
assured that tbe French Government would ob
ject to if; but ho depended’ upon the. higher
sentiment of the Emperor. ,This proves that
General Prim meant lo act without Ate: consaut
of the Emperor. France has communicated
with other powers of Europe and in ail cases
has’rccei’.e words of sympathy. AH she sacks at
Berlin and Madrid, ia to prevent political compli*
ootiotia. _ _ '• - 'lag
A dispatch recently forwarded to the Spanish
government, by the Duke de-Grammont, was
made public to-day.
The Duke says France hopes Spain will re
nounce tho only candidate for the throne, who
is altogether disagreeable. ■ He recalls the ser
vices of thq French government in Spanish
affairs, by interdieting plots and arresting in
vading Carlists'; and also urges the fact that
France aided Spain in the establishment of a
provisional government.
No answer has as yet been received from
Prussia, since the declaration of the Secretary
of foreign affairs in the Corps Legislatif a few
days ago. On the morning of that day, how
ever, a dispatch was received from Prussia to
the effect that that government knew nothing
of the candidature of Prince Hohenzollem to
the throne of Spain.
A report which' seems well founded is iri cir
culation here, that the Prussian Miaisterof War,
has ordered all general officers of the Prussian
army to join their corps without delay.
The Memorial Diplomatique says a French
circular has been issued defining the situation.
Madrid, July 8.—The Discussion has an
article on the throne question to-day, wherein
says Prince Hohenzollern’s qualifications are
indisputable. A beggar himself-he cornea to
rule a nation of beggars.
Latest.—The Senate discusses the Hohenzollem
aflair on tho fifteenth. Nothing definite to-day
from Prussia. Olazago goes to Madrid to-night
to endeavor to make arrangements satisfactory
to all parties. The Embassadors of Austria,
England and Italy conferred to-day with Gram-
most. They seem favorable to France. ' * '!
Grammont receivea tim rm«;i, n Minister
to-day.
Napoleon conferred,. to-day, with the Minis
ters of war and navy.
Two French army corps are ready for im
mediate movement. Marshal Bazaine commands
one and Gen. Le It run the other. Marshal
Macmahon will command the army. Gen. Le
Bonef has an important command. Coant
Paletaco will' command the troops operating
against Spain. * .
Active .preparations are progressing at all
sea ports.
London, July 9.—The questiohs at issne be
tween France and Prussia, relative to the Span
ish crown, creates some uneasiness in English
markets, both here and in LiveipooL Bread-
stuffs and ootton are uneertaln in tone and
prices, and irregular altogether—due to the pos
sibility of a continental war. The same infl-
ence is operating at Manchester, on market for
•otton goods and yarns. The general excite
ment does not seem to have.abated. The
threatened rupture still forms a topio for news
paper comment and ordinary conversation
among the'people throughout Europe,.while the
better opinion seems to be that war will be at
last avoided. Despatches received from some
quarters of movements of troops—strengthen
ing of garrisons and departure of fleets—are
well calculated to excite the gravest apprehen-
To-day the Austrian Government is
preparing to form a permanent camp near the
Prussian frontier. She has had this plan in
contemplation' for a long time.
Later.—Tho following facts, minors and
additional opinions are gathered from many
sources, by telegraph, to-day: The North Ger-
man Berlin Gazette, in its leading article to-day,
says the French press is impudent and insult
ing in regard to the action taken by Prussia on
the Spanish question, and that the selection of
Prince Hohenzollern depend solely on the Span
ish cortes and not on the wishes of foreign pow
ers.
Paris is considerably, exoited to-day by ru
mors that Prussia is actively ariuiug at all the
Baltic Ports. The corps d’armee now opera
ting against the rebels in Algeria, under Gen.
"SVimpen, lias been recalled.
The Gazette de France, of Paris, says : Duke
de Grammant’s declaration in the Corps Legis-
latiff, recently, is equivalent to the French ul
timatum. The present situation is the result
of Bismarck’s intrigues.
The Journal des Debats, of Paris, says: The
policy of the French government on the Span
ish question threatens to make all the Spaniards
unite on the Prince of Hohenzollern.
Prime Minister Ollivier, yesterday, assured
the French Senate that the offer of the . crown
to a Prussian was the act of Gen. Prim, and
was not binding on the Spanish government.
Paris, Jnly 9.—Bourse opened excited this
morning. Rentes, 70 and 25, or 25 centimes
lower than the closing figures lost night
The French Minister of "War has issued an
order to all. Generals; Commanding, requiring
them to report to the war office immediately the
condition of the troops, arsenals, amunition,
to., in their respective departments.
Latzb.— 1 The excitement on the streets is in
creasing; and Bourse,is very much excited;
rentes declining—last sales, C9. francs and 50
centimes, or 67 centimes below opening—67
centimes lower than any figures made during
tho crisis here, and there is great activity at
Toulon and other French ports on the Mediter
ranean, aDd a large number of transports are
being fitted-out to bring home the entire French
army, now in Algeria'. ■
Berlin,' July 9.—Baron Weither, Minister of
Prussia to Franco, has not been recalled.
In official circles here the situation is thought
to be free from danger.
Bisrriarck is unimplicated in the Hohenzollem
affair. Napoleon’s attempt to hold him respon
sible is regarded as a pretext.
Circulars have been issued recalling the com
mands,' and all officers and '.soldi'ers absent on
furlongb. Largo quantities of powder and war
stores of all kinds are being conveyed to Strong
holds oil-the Eastern frontier. The Govt, au
thorities Of France have in their possession
plans of all fortresses, roads, canals and other
publio-worksin Prussia. The. Govt, has taken
measures to put tho Garde National and Garde
Mobile, on a war fooling. Agents of tho Fronch
Govt., now in Hungary, are purchasing horses
and hay for cavalry service. Baurse is still ex
cited, butdoses three r. sr. a. shado firmer,

Paeis—Six r. XL—'There scorns to be no doubt
that the Government is in receipt of the long
expected answer from the Prussian Govern
meat on the subject of tho Spanish throne dif
ficulty. It is intimated iri well informed
circle 1 that, ia ahswer, Prussia makes the
following poiatft ,
First, disclaiming all participation in the can
didature of the Princa of Hohenzollern. Sec
ond, that : Princo Hohenzollern is not even

third, that Gca. Prim negotiated with the
Prince, of Hohcnzoilerri,' and he lunst^ho re-
sponsib'e, not Prussia. It is almost certain till:
answer is-nSt satisfactory to- Frariee, and .that
tho Duke of Grammont has forwarded another
dispatch to Berlin.
