The National Er- obaoge Bank has declared a dividend of three per cent, payable on and after the 5th lost. The Bank ot Augusta has de clared a dividend of two dollars per •hare, payable on demand.

Talbotton Standard: Oar market has of late got some notoriety as a wool mar ket. There has been ehipped from here in the last few weeks several thousand pounds of that arlioie, for which the highest prices are paid for all grader. Some ot oar merchants are giving that branoh of the trade considerable atten tion of Ute. Another season there will be a driving btstaess done here in that line, as sheep culture is largely on the Increase in the country immediately sontb of this, and the prices paid for the raw material at Geneva will make it a paying business. Tooho.-bobo has had a splendid rain. Southerner and Appeal: Mr. James G. Frcemun, near this elate, has seven acres of cotton that will average waist high and is well filled with blooms and forms. Mr. Freen.cn has brought the said plat of land to its present high state of cultivation by mannring heavily with home-made manures, upon the small farm system. The character ot the land is oommon pine, and has been in culti vation a number of years. Mr. Free man is a good farmer, and his success should be a model to all. The Columbus Volunteers cxcurted to Atlanta yesterday. Hcbt bt a Fall.—Warrenton Cli/per Mr. Frank Siffold, clerk in Eicg’e con- fecticnrrj.riceired a severe fall last Fri day night. He wa3 asleep in the upper story of bis mother’s dwelling, bat dreamed that be was churning ice cream at tbe confectionery with tbe free ter reating on the window sill. All at once tbe fret zer appeared to be falling out of the window, and he jamped after it. He euppo3t'8 that in about three or fonr hours he became conscious that be had actually walked out of the window of the room where be was sleeping. He made eomo noise of distress and was heard by some one and thus obtained help. He was seriously jarred, but no limbs were broken. He is up and about again.

Dr. Lavender designing to aid him and at the earns time advance his own interest, gave him employment on his farm. Very eoon he had some painting he wished done, as we are informed, and learning that Evett could do the work gave him the job. This work threw him into clo ser communication with the family, and at night he assisted the Doctor’s children in preparing their lessons for Gordon In stitute. In this way ho managed to gain the confidence and love of the Dcctoi’s daughter, Mies Susie, and they became engaged to be married. The secret be came known to tbe parents and they or dered Mr. Evett to leave and forbade their daughter marrying a stranger, about whom she nor they know any thing. He went to Upson county and procured license, about two months since, and then went to the Chalybeate Springs. Last Thursday Mtss Susie gathered up some pans and went out to gather some blackberries. While oat, an aged gen tleman came along in abaggy and she was taken to tbe presence of her lover, nnited in marriage we are informed, and the conple went their way rejoierag. Sandersville High School.— from the Herald and Qetrgian we take the fol lowing account of th e closing exercises cf the Sandertville high school: The address of Dr A. G. Haygood con stituted an important feature in the at tractive programme. Character as dis tinguished from reputation, was the pro lific tnema from which flashed forth at the skillful touch of the distinguished speaker gems of purest and grandest thoughts. A beaconligbt was pointed out to aid the right fcrmation of charac ter, it waathie: ‘.'Nothow shall I become distinguished, but how shall I improve the talents intrusted to my care?” Toe speaker was very happy in his elucidation and illustration of tbe sdbject, which was abundantly attested by the individual attention of the thronged andience dar ing the delivery of the addrees. The ad dress of Mr. J. H. Jones at nizht in awarding the prizes, came in for a full share of popular favor. Its beautiful tbonghta expressed in elegant diction, in spite of the heated ait of the.room, and the lateness of the hour conld not fall to arrest the attention and call forth tbe hearty commendation of hie delighted auditors. $500 Reward.—Eastman Times: We are reliably informed that Mr. Eiward Perry has offered a reward of $500 for the arrest, with pioof to convict, of oneor more of the parties engaged in the late Liurena county jail delivery. We think this offer will, and certainly should, bring about an investigation ot this law lessness. Columbus Enquirer : ‘•Yesterday we noticed a tent pitched near the wharf, which was attracting considerable atten tion. Upon inquiry we learned that it was oconpied by a man named Jackson and hie family. He is partially paralyzed and can do no work. His wife is a’so in bed health. To a gentleman he told the following story : Several years before the war he removed from North Carolina to Tci-g, there engaged iu the cattle bus iness, and accumulated a good sum of money. War was declared between tbe States ; be enlisted with tbe Confederates and while fighting for the Santh was bad ly wounded. He returned to Texas, bnt so broken in health that he was unable to work, !:Dd scon lost his al). Then he con cluded to return to North Cardins, ini start'd on tbe jonrney last winter. He had but little money, which was soon ex pended ; one horse was frozen, the otter and the wagon was sold for a mere song. A few days ago they arrived at Eufanla and came to onr city on- tbe steamer Jor dan. They are truly objeots of obarity, and we Lost some of oar citizens will give them aid. Mayor Wilkins will secure their passage to Maoon in a day or eo. Tbe charitable citizens of Macon will doubtless aid them on their journey. The editor of the MUledgevlHe Record er has been shown by Dr. Harris a spe cies of malachite—native carbonate of copper—fashioned in the shape of an In dian arrow -head, which was picked np in an open field near that city. A hole per forating the shaft indicated that It was either need as an ornament for the ear or nose ot the aborigines, or a head for some weapon. From its polished surface it is judged its origin dated from a pe_ riod far beyond the reckoning of any one torn in this century. Mb. Elias Wilson, Je , aged seventy years, died very suddenly at. his resi dence near Thomson on Tuesday last. He arose very early that morning, and was in the act of leaving the house for the yard, when he suddenly sank’ down on the steps and expired in a few mo menta. His death wa3 caused from drop sy cf the heart, with which disease ho baa been troubled for eome time. Savannah News: Death cf Mb3. Vil- lilonga—Tbe many friends and ac quaintance Of Mrs. Jane C. Yillslonga, Esq., will be pained to hear of her death, whtoh oocurred at Fernanditfa, Fla.,- yes terday morning at 12 o’clock. Mrs. Villalonga had been in ill health for some time, and was considered to be dying two weeks ago. Her death, though regretted, wa3 not unexpected. She was an estimable lady,kind-hearted and chari table, and a true Christian. Her remains were interred at the family burying ground at Fernandina. That Monstrosity.— A short time since an item appeared in this column, in referenco to a human monstrosity in the shape of a child, the like of which was never before seen or heard of. But the Ordinary of Babum oounty gives a quietus to the matter, as follows, in a letter to the Atlanta Posf: Ordinary's Office, Georgia, Rabun Co., Jane 27th, 1879. Editors Atlanta Post: There has been clippings from your paper and others sent to the different county officers of this county, with postage enclosed, ask ing about “Eabnm county’s Monstrous Monstrosity.’’ I have inquired of old citizens about the circumstance. None of them know any thing about it; never was heard of only through Dr. J. C. Jones, and the peoplo know of no such doctor or his existence in this county. I was born and raised in the county; ntver heard of such a thing, nor the parties in the county. I am 45 years of age and am acquainted with the people of the county. Given nr.dor my band and official eig en'ure. J. W. Geeev, Ordinary ot Babun County. Capt. W. A. Potts, a well known rail road contractor, died in Alanta, on Thursday, ef oongeetive chills. VzRNOtr, eldest son of Col. Reuben Arnold, died on Thursday near Atlanta. Db. B. E. Harden, well known through out the State, died near Atlanta on July let. The Picxens Murder.—Atlanta Post: The reports concerning the murder of a Mr. Poole, suspected of beiog an inform er against illicit distillers, have been meagre and inaccurate. The trueiacta in the case, as they have been reliably reported, are a3 follows: Saturday night jast after the moon had risen, a party of between ten and fifteen men visited the house where the Poole family were sleeping. They immediately broke down the door, and, rnshiug into the bouse, opened fire npon tbe now awakened occupants. Too wife of th* gentleman who was killed immediately fled from the house, believing at tbe time that her little child had been murdered. She resorted to tbe house of a neighbor, and wheD, a few hours after, she dared to return to her home, she found her hus band lying dead upon the fl tor, and her little child sleeping quietly beside its dead father. The brother of the dead man had been shot above the elbow, ths bal let ranging upward and lodging tear tbe collar bone. Mrs. Poole, before her flight, recog nized at least one of the murderous crowd, and is so confident as to bo will- mg to swear to it. Her brother-in-law also recognized the same man, and will swear against him on oath. Augusta Chronicle: “Mr. Thomas M. Kimbrough, wbo was stricken with par alysis last Tuesday, died at 8 o’clock last night. He leaves a wife and three chil dren. Mr. K-mbrocgh came to Aagnsta from Bichmond, Yu., and has been an unassuming and excellent citizen of his adopted city. He was book-keeper for Barrett and Caswell, and discharged the duties of that position faithfully and to the satisfaction of his employers. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, and of Pendleton Lodge, Knights of Honor. His family will receive $3,000 from the first named Order, and S2.000 from the Knights of Honor ” > The Issues ol 1SSO. The speech of Frank Hurd, of Ohio, in reply to Garfield, is one of the beat that have been made in the House for many a year. We only have room for his cios eg remarks. They aro aa follows. “Mr. Chair man. this extra seesion has made np the iatue between the two parties. Tne Demo crat io party declare that the atmy shall be kept from the polls; that janes shall be impartially drawn: that the teat oath shall be repealed, and that the Federal authsiity' shall not interfere with elections within ti-s States. Upon that question th9 Republican party iseue with us. Confidently appealing only to the patriotism of the country, the Democratic party goes into this contest. Never, in all the history of this land, have more imp rtant questions been submitted to the American people for their determina tion. They relate to the pure administra tion of justice, they concern the gravest questions cf Constitutional law; they iff act the foundation principles of civil liberty. Every man who runs for any efibe in any State, and orery citizen who goes to the po’.lB to deposit his ballot, is interested The whcle method of at camming the popu lar will in the Bspubllo is involved in the Iseue. So far-reachzng are these principles that if upon th’e ieeue the Bepnblicm party shall be tncceeefnl, then all the power over elections in States would be drawn to the central Government. The State* would lose their places in the federative ey=tom, and whether the army snail be uaei at the polls or not wrntld b i a question, not of right and of constitutional law, but of executive discretion. Such a result means tbe end ef the Republic and tha np'ifnng ot the empire. Can there be any donbt aa to a controversy like this?

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. THE PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE. Oa Tuesday the Chancellor invited tie Board.of Visitors to witness the annual foreneio passage at arms bet wain the students of Parliamentary law. Nearly all of tbe class were present and a goodly ar ray of spectators also. The exorcises were both amnsing and edifying. One striking feature was the courtesy and perfect aelf- oontrol exhibited by each speaker. There were no ebullitions of temper, no unkind retorts, no dishonorable edbterfages, no unfairness to be observed in any of their deliveranoes. Certain articles of tbe oonctitntion of the Society wore under con- sidoratioa and formed tbe basis of debate. Both sides filibustered, ikimrished,offered substitutes, amendments, and amend ments to amendments, oalledthe previous question, moved to strike onr. add to, re- commit, postpone temporarily, then in side interference, financial depression and- definitely, moved to adjourn time and Newton House, Athens, Ga.. July 4th, 1879. THE STATE UNIVERSITY. This grand old institution, which datcB ils origin from the period when three- fonrih3 of the area of onr noble common wealth was an untrodden wilderness, we arc delighted, to say appears to have ta ken a new departnre and npwara re bound from its recent temporary rever ses. These reverses conld not fairly be charge able to any particular individual source. They were the result of antagonisms in the management of tbe Univeratty, out- WriUBT-“Wfl Tobaono, when they can buy SEAL OF HOBTH CAkOItlN prioe mil men smoke common M&rburr hr os. A." at the ms other causes unnecessary now to be men tioned. But SAD EXPERIENCE baa at loogth wrought a revolution for the better. We find now that great and needed improvements bave been made in the buildings and College grounds. Tne trustees have also wisely reform ed divera alleged grievances among the students, enlarged their liberty in vari ous respects, and ceemed resolved more earnestly than ever to do their whole du- ty_in the promises. As a natural consequence the number ot etudenta boa largely increased, and there is at this time AN EXCESS CF SIXTY over tne matriculates of the same date last year. Toe future outlook also is very prom ising. We hear not a note ol discord in - he press, at home or among the people of the 8 ate. All differences seem to h«Vd been harmonized, or rather to have dud a natural death. And now if tbe Trustees will but exhibit a LIBERAL SPIRIT tows ids the proposed branches of the University in Milledgeville, Cuthbert and Thomasville, all will go on swimmingly. * But at tho same time these committees should realize that ‘•Juve htlpa tnose who help themselves, ’ and ns tbe recipients of the immediate fi’uits of tho educational enterprises sought to be established, they ahould not be stinted in their own contributions to tne geod work. In the absent of legal advice as to the proper coastruotion of the new Constitu tion on the questions involved, the writer is not prepared to advocate any particular line of action authoritatively. But if tbe GENERAL ASSEMBLY F.SSES3E3 THE POWER, be most emphatically favors tbe plan suggested by the Southern Banner and endorsed by the Chronicle and Sentinel, which proposes to divide the fund (amounting to about $22,000) derived trom the tax on the Bale ot fertilizers be tween theee branch colleges and tha parent foundation. This would leave in tact the revenues from the Agricultural scrip which in their entirety fall actually short of the absolute wants of onr Uni versity. We shonld not "rob Peter to pay PauF; and onght to increase rather than diminish the revenues of our cher ished State University. Moreover, the schools of Milledgeville, Cuthbert and Thomasville should be unified with and made subordinate integers of the time- honored University at Athens. To state it plainly, they should bo made feeders to the parent stock, and not rivals of their mother. Otherwise tbe Legislature and Board of Trustees of the State University would stultify them selves . by advocating tho establishment of theso branch institutions. If the coarse of etndy in them be sufficiently elevated to justify the bestowal of the usual literary de grees, let them be conferred by the University tbrongh its head, the Chancel lor. This will add dignity and honor to tbe distinotion. The cause of pnblio education demands the establishment of these eohools, bnt if constituted under tbe imprimatur of (he State, they onght to form part of its Uni versity system, and bo conduoted in sub ordination to it. DISCIPLINE. Chancellor Mell, in tbe language of a venerable trustee, Dr. Milohell, ia one of the best administrative offio.-ts in the country; and this seems to be tbe nni. versnl opinion. He ie always dignified, yet quiet and genial, and withal sternly just. The yonng men love him, and one of them told the writer that it was unpop ular to be disorderly beoause the students disliked wounding tbe feeliogs of their Ohacoellor. From all aonrceB we learn that the depoitment of the young gentle, men has been exoellent during the past year. Not a single case of expnlsion has ocsnrred, and there have been no serious disturbances of any kind. THE CAMPUS has undergone great improvement in the way of grading, grass covered terraces, and the planting ont of a large number of valuable shade trees, all oarefally protec ted by whitewashed boxes. The two college buildings, ehapel, library room, Society Halls, Professor’s residences and indeed the entire premi 883 of the University bave- been renovated and placed in good re pair. The feeling on the part of the community » excellent and this has been made specially apparent by the numerous courtesies extended to the Board of visi- tors. Time and again have they as a body enjoyed the hospitality of both fac ulty and citizons. Last night the writer web the guest of his old Liberty county friend CHANCELLOR MELL, As he entered his crowded parlors, a tiny, dear little boy jast ont of his frocks ran forward, and of coarse was greeted with a kiss. Qnotb the proud Chancel lor,casting a load glance over the Mell ar ray, this is “NUMBER FJFrEEN.” Yes, indeed,and as the list grows larger it becomes sweeter; (we take that word back for he has a trio of the brightest and prettiest grown young lady daugh- tors in Georgia, who are Bimply charm ing) aud the stock continues to improve. Ye miserable bachelora who munch your bread in solitary loneliness without one cheery voice to send sunshine athwart your pathway, or break the adamantine crust of selfishness that envelopes yon, think of fifteen olive plants, fresh, vig orous and strong, encircling the parent stock! Conld yoa realize thh perfect happiness, self-denial, tenderness and de votion of a large and nnited family the days of your single cursedness, (not bles- sedaeas) would be numbored unless you bad made yourself so odious that no sen sible girl would tolerate your addresses. Tl • Doctor has cause to be proud ot his happy and promising brood, and we wish him muck jiy sxd many aceesaiona to their number. It should be remarked that Mrs. Mell utterly refused to put with her yonugost pet, though the writer went to his extreme limit (two cows aud calves) at tho very first bid. PROFESSOR WOCDFIN. His Maoon friends will be glad to learn that this gentleman, who for so many years occupied a prominent plaoe in Mercer’s intellectual galaxy, shine* aa brishtly aa ever in the new sphere to whioh be haB been transferred. The Professor has won golden opinions in Athens, and gracefully wears the man tle of his distinguished predecessor, the lamented ’Waddell. The examination papers of the Seniors in Latin aud Greek show hie handi work by their correctness and excellence, end ht. Is universally recognized as an able and ccompliabed scholar and successful educator. DR. HENRY HALL. This ootogenarian and fotmor pie ep- tor ofthe writer holds his own manfully. Thirty-five yearn have rolled away since he taught him to calculate eclipses, ex plore tb* arcana of tha heaveis, and sur vey all the old fields around Athens. And yet h e form is still erect, his phy sique unshrunken, memory aud hearing good ar.d ois heart ns \'arm ns ever. God bless the dear old man and continne to vouohsafe a green old sge to him. again, and finally after going into oim> mittee of tho whole with another officer in the chair,.and much quibbling aud maneuvering REPORTED NO PRIORESS.

Professor Cbarbonoier drilled the Uni versity battalias in the presence cf tho Board on Wednesday af ternoon. This accomplished gentleman bears a colonel's commission from the governor, and !b n trained soldier and splendid officer. He served with the rank of oaptainin tbe French army, and bis father is now a general of division in the setvioe of that Jttapublio. The parade woold have compared favorably with the evolutions of West Pointers. Never was there eesn physically a finer or more stalvart body of yonng men. In size, tho comae al was above the average, and eaoh yonng soldier marched erect and with the tramp of a veteran. Ia the manual and the multi tude of evolutions they were required to perform, not a solitary mistake was made. The esprit du corps runs high in the University, and if subjected to the crucial ■ test of war no more gallant or effective body of troops could Georgia send to the field than the undergraduates of her own noble Umversity. A VISIT TO THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM. Accompanied by Lamar Cobb, Esq. Dr. Mitchell, Col. Harris and Chancellor Mell, tbe Board surveyed the crops of Professor Browne, who is at the bead of the Department of Agriculture. Albeit the site of the farm was recently a worn out barren hillside, yet we have seen no suoh earn or cotton in the vicinity. The soil had been stirred to the depth of fourteen incheB in the winter and was in perfeot tilth. As a result, though needing rain, the crops were green and luxuriant and give promise of an abun dant yield. Carefal experiments have been made with about thirty fertilizers, which, when the harvest is over and the results can be known, will be given to the public. It is in this way that spuri. ons compounds may be most readily de' tected and driven from the market. Gen. Browne has greatly beautified and im proved the grounds of the rock college with flowers and shrubs, and tbe bnild- ing ia in perfect order. Hie visitors were regaled with an elegant lnnch of cake, io9 cream, sherbet, etc., and expressed themselveB well pleased with the crops and conduct of the farm. A PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT. La3i night the writer and bis associ ates, by invitation, attended the readings of a social olub in Cobbam, at the elegant residence of Col. James S. Hamilton. His epacioua parlors were all thrown open to receive the brilliant company that attend ed, and never did an impromptu amateur affair piss off mere creditably or agree ably. The music on the piano, rendered by Mrs. Thomas Burke, Mias N. Himilton, Mrs. Dr. Carlton, Mrs. Professor White, Miss L. Thomas and Pro fessor Schurmarkerr on the violin, was superb. The readers, too, evinosd muoh taste, and in sevtr-1 Balan ces decided genius.

The Yan kee is. traditionally resDonsible for the invention of shams. His wooden nut megs are historical. In the face of these facts it is not strange that the annonnee- ment of every new invention or scienti fic disoovery ia mot with the question— Is it true ? When tho propelling power of steam wa3 first discovered, not a few of onr forefathers shook their heads and pronounced the steam engine an inven tion of Satan. Poor Harvey, the Bacon of medical science, what did he not suffer for discovering tha circulation of the blood ? Astrology had so long impned npon the crednlity of mankind that any fact presenting itself in the garb of Ecicnce was instantly challenged with “Halt! prove yonrself.” Thus it is in medicine to-day. So many useless drugs have been Bold under the name of medicines, that when a genuine remedy does appear it is regarded wifi prejudice aud distrust. .Fortunately as inventions and scientifii theories so medicines are subject to tbe great law of nature and mind—the survival of the tree. Every year that Dr. Pierce’s Family Remedies are before the pnblio they are more generally esteemed and their sales increase.

Next comes the blow at the deputy marshals which, though not whit we wish ed, still loaves its mark. It has foiled tho enemy and united our frienda every where.

I boiisve it presages it. Bo much as to what wo have poettivoW gained. What we b-ve lost is a matter of more di versity of opinion. If tbe Radical press and politicians eay truth, the extra session has gone far towards maMcg a solid North by stirring up a fresh the Urea and passions of see ional animosity. They claim that the fears and tiupicions of that aeotfou have been reawakened and renewed and that the sweep of the current is'gatheung the force and Yolame of 1803 and 1872. They claim that old teen as bars teen renewed and old fires rekindled and that upon them tbe North will regrasp its Old oceptre end re turns its ancient sway This ta tbeir claim and there are some signs and proofs of its correctness. But that they have misinter preted both is my honest faith and earnest conviction. We can and will beat them ou th030 issues. If we can xnies the financial rock that threatens us, we are safe.
