WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 2, 1871.
Com jmraUve Temperature of 31 aeon
Maoon has the unmerited reputation of being
comparatively a warm place, but we will now
prove that, bo far from deserving this stigma, she
has really a cooler aimonpliere on the average,
than any one of the so-orl.'ed “interior cotton
ports." And we will do Ibis by citations from the
reports of weekly average temperature, by the
New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle,
made np every Friday night.
Let ns begin with the very last Friday. In
the report for the week ending last Friday, we
read as follows:
The thermometer at Selma has averaged 85,
at Montgomery 87, at Colnmbns 82, at Macon
and Charleston 78.
For tbo week before, that is to say, tbo week
ending Friday night, 21atu!t, wo mado the fol
lowing note from tho weekly avorage of tem
perature by tho Chronicle:
“The mercury at Maoon averaged 85; Colnm-
bus 86; Montgomery 89; Selma 91; Memphis
87; Charleston 86."
Tho next occasion on which wo made an edi
torial noto of relative temperature as roported
by tbo Chronicle, was in the Toi-rokaph of the
Gth instant, and was tho averago for the week
ending Friday, 80th June. It was as follows:
The mercury averaged at Mobile 85, Mont
gomery 87, Columbus 81, Macon 83, and
Charleston 83. At Galveston it was 89, and
tbo crop reports from that quarter continue
favorable. Memphis sends also favorable re
ports both from upland and bottom land ootton.
The average temperature there was 85.
Bat not to consume time in referring farther
to our own files, wo are safe in saying that in
every report rondo by tbo Chronicle of average
temperature during the hot weather of this
summer, Macon has been set down at the lowest
temperature of any of tho “intorior cotton
ports."
This testimony of figures from a disinterested
party must satisfy anybody that tho common
idea that Macon is a very warm place, is wholly
groundless. But, in truth, in dog days, any
place seems remarkably warm to a visitor who
oomca to town to trade or gossip—walk3 about
in the sun, and being a comparative stranger,
fsela that bo must keep his cravat tied—his coat
and vest on, and sacrifice his bodily comfort to
the restraints of etiquette and polite social de
corum. Ho does not do this at home. There
he consults his own bodily comfort, and this
fact makes tho restraint of fall dress all the
more nnoomfortablo, especially when attended
with greater exposnro to tho sun than is per
haps bis ordinary habit. We suppose these are
tbo circumstances which give rise to the com
mon idea that so high a point as Macon is re
markably warm. Bat tbo reader will see it is
all a mistake. Tbo figures show Macon to be
comparatively a very cool place.
Bmn County Boat® of School Commission
ers met yesterday morning at ten o’clock in the
Counoil Chamber. Present—Messrs. W. Poo,
J. T. Ooxe, J. W. Burke, L. Jones, It. F. Ouso-
ley, W. D. Williams, S. D. Everett and J. Clisby.
The Board went into an informal consideration
of tbo situation. Tho Secretary read a circular
from the Stato School Commissoner in Atlanta,
addressed to the School Commissioners of
Greene county, volunteering some suggestions to
meet the impraotibilities of tho situation. Com
missioner Lewis thongbt the fands applicable
to common schools In the State Treasury would
be somowhere about $100,000, and average
about $2 to the pupil, assuming an attendance
of about 50 per cent, of the whole number of
school children in the State. This might carry
tho oolored schools through the three months
contemplated by tho law, and, in the cose of the
white schools, could be eked out by addiDg
tuition feos—thus introducing a mixed system
repudiated by the statute itself.
But, unfortunately, of Ibis $400,000 not
cent of it was in money. It had mostly been
borrowed and spent by tho last Radical Legis
lature, who had loft, in lieu thereof, the L O.
U.'a of the State of Georgia which must be sold
before the money could be forthcoming. Lewis’
letter contained no satisfactory assurance that
a dollar wo aid bo ready to subsist the teachers
It spoke only his opinions and judgment of
probabilities, and pledged the State Board of
Education to nothing.
Oa tho other hand, it was now universally ad
mitted that the decision of tho Bibb County
Board made two months ago was right, and that
tne County Boards bad no authority under the
law to levy county or district taxes for the sup
port of publio schools. This board was, there
fore, without the smallest resource, or guaran
tee of resource, to justify the employment of
teachers, undor tho State System of publio in
struction, which was itself practioally a fdo de
ee. It ctflild amount to nothing at all, unless by
tho assumption of powers unwarrantable by the
law itself, but which, nevertheless, had been
suggested and recommended by the leading offi
cials under it.
Meanwhile, the Grand Jury of Bibb county
had recommended tho imposition of ten thou
sand dollars’ tax for the education of poor
children in the county, under the old plan; and
in these circumstances the Board decided it far
better to attempt nothing, and to await the
action of the next Legislature. They therefore
resolved to adjourn subject to the call of the
President of the Board and to direct their Sec
retary in tho meantime to prooeod with the
enumeration of children in the county, as pro
vided for by tho statute.

These figures indicate an increase in the oot
ton in sight to-night of 353,529 bales compared
with the same date of 1870. Aooording to a re
quest from a correspondent in this city, we to
day obtained by telegraph the stock of cotton
at Providence, which, of course, is not indnded
in the above. The figures are aa follows : Thir
ty thousand bales to-day against ten thousand
bales the same date last year. We notice that
the Associated Press dispatches give the present
stock 37,000 bales.
SLEioniso in July.—Lost week a terrible
hail storm passed over portions of Sullivan
county. New York, and Wayne and Pike coun
ties, in Pennsylvania.. Trees were blown down
—buildings demolished and crops destroyed.
In Wayne oonnty the ground was covered to the
depth of two inches with hail stones, and sleigh-
riding was practicable. About the same time a
hail storm in Sussex, New Jersey, covered the
ground to a still greater depth.
"Cotton Flut.”
Of course, my friedds. It is a matter in
course that cotton shonld be fiat at this time.
The great trade wheel, in its steady annual rev
olution, has approached that point in which ex
changes are to be effected with producers, and
it In generally a fill plate in lho whl e’.. At this
point all the brakes are applied as a matter of
course and the wheel gets flattened by friction.
The market in Macon, nnder the depression of
foreign and domestic advices, sunk over two
and a half cents in the month of Jnly just
closed. It was flat at 17 on the 31st—it was
buoyant at 19) on the 1st of Ju’y.
Tho whole philosophy of this we lake to be,
not so mnch a disposition or a combination to
tread on the toes of planters, although, of
course, everybody wants to buy everything
which must be bought at the lowest figures; but
it is predicated chuflyon tho demoralizing in
fluence of largo anticipated supplies to be forced
on the market. For illustration : if there were
oven substantial reason to believe that no su
perfluous product of corn, meat and flour would
come forward and yet they were rushed to sale
as suddenly and inexorably aR ootton is, they
would be drugs.
It is true, that daring tho month of Jnly gen
erally brighter reports of the cotton crop have
gone forward; bnt still there is nothing known
to show that there is going to bo anything like
an average crop. Looking at our situation in
Middle Georgia, we say unhesitatingly, that
while July has not materially bettered onr cot
ton prospects, it has terribly impaired those of
the corn crop. When July set in wo had every
prospect of a heavy corn crop, bnt that has been
impaired more than 50 por cent. And no man
who knows anything abont cotton will believe
that the excessive drouth which has character
ized Jnly, following the excess of rain in Jnne,
can have really improved cotton. It has sud
denly checked growth—shriveled the plant and
pushed the bolls forward to earlier maturity.
Bnt it has also checked fruitage, and such open
bolls as have been brought in to ns as a sample
of early cotton, are mere fnrzy dog-tail, with a
black and blighted appearance, and a staple,
dry, short and ill-conditioned every way. It is
a poor showing for a crop, and we believe every
thing indicates as near a cotton failure as Mid
dle Georgia ever made.
And in respect to the cotton crop at large and
in general, these are what we believe to be the
facts: The lowlands which ordinarily produce
the best and heaviest portion of the American
cotton crop, will this year yield bnt little to the
grand product. They were generally drowned
out and grassed ont by tho heavy rains of spring
and early summer, Mnch of them were aband
oned altogether, and tho stand obtained on the
remainder was very partial and defective. As
to tho uplands the condition is better, bnt the
stand is generally imperfect—the plant dwarf
ish, and the fruitage meager.
Those facta, however, mast be known before
they will be acoepted. The cotton market at
its opening will adjust itself, in all probability,
to a crop of 3,500,000 to four million bales, and
we may, perhaps, reasonably look for a steady
descent in quotations for three months to come.
When the facta arc ascertained, prices will prob
ably meet with a sadden recovery.

Annnnt Commencement of the University
of Georgia-Heelings of the Bonril of
Trustees.
Athens, Jnly 29, IP71.
The B >nrd of Trustees held their first session
on the 28ih instant. Present, Vice-President
O. J. Jenkins in the Chair, and Messrs. Yancey,
Vason, Cooper, Moore, Cobb, Thomas, Miller,
Hill, Harris, Orawford, Mitchell, Barrow and
Barnet.
After prayer by the Chance'ler, his annual
statement of the condition of the University
was called for and read. The reportMf the
various Standing Committees were A re
ceived and laid npon the table. That portion
of Dr. Lipscomb's communication relating to
the death of Governor Wilson Lnmpkin and
Jndge E. A. Nesbit, was referred to a committee
composed of Messrs. Jenkins. Mitchell and
Harris. Hon. O. J. Jenkins and Hon. Mark A,
Cooper were elected President and Vice-Presi
dent of the Board. Adjourned.
July 29.—The Board of Trustees again ns
sembled, Messrs. James Jackson, Hall, Brown,
Billnps and Seward, new members, appearing
and taking their seats. Two petitions, one
from patrons and one from the students in ref
erence to vacations, were read and referred to
the Committee on Laws and Discipline.
The resignation of Col. John Billnps was
read and received.
The Board then proceeded to fill three vacan
cies in their nnmber by the eleotion of Hon.
Dnnlap Scott, of Rome, J. J. Gresham, of Ma-
ood, and D. A. Walker.
Mr. Crawford then offered the following pre
amble and resolntion, which was adopted:
Whereas, the future welfare and success of
the University of Ueorgia is a matter of the
deepest concern to the Board of Trustees; and
whereas, they desire to avail themselves of the
well known interest felt by all its friends every
where, bnt more especially by the Alnmni of
.the Institution, therefore;
Be it resolved. That this Board will appro
ciate in the highest degree their continued ef
forts and co-operation with ns for the advance
ment of the College, and would at all times re
ceive with pleasure any suggestions of an ad
visory character, which they in their wisdom
may feel desirous to make.
The honorary degree of Bachelor of Laws was
conferred npon Alex. S. Erwin, and that of A.
B. npon J. R. Crane, both oitizens of Athens.
It was also decided that the vacations should
be fixed from commencement to September 15,
and from 15:h December to 15th January, of
each year.
Crowds are constantly arriving by every train,
and many of Georgia's moat distinguished sons
are here. A brilliant commencement is antici
pated. In haste, yours, J.
Tlie JIacon and Augusta Railroad.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: This
road is not doing for Macon what her people
expected, owiDg to the fact that no quick
through schedule has been made to Charleston.
When the organization wa8 arranged in Au
gusta before the war, there was a strong ten
dency to build a direct road from Macon to
Augnsta, so as not to be dependent npon the
Georgia Road for any part of the route; and it
is believed this would have been determined
npon had not the assurance been given that a
quick through line from Macon to Charleston
shonld be maintained. Whether this under
standing was reduced to -writing, in the form of
a contrast, ia not remembered, and it is impor
tant that this matter shonld at once be looked
into and properly availed.
Under the late decision of the Supreme
Court, sustaining the lease of the Macon and
Western Road, and the railroad combinations
now on foot, it will only be a short time before
the Central will oontrol the Georgia ltAiiroad,
either by lease or otherwise. After this shall
happen it will be too mnch to ask the Central
Road to make any sneh arrangement for a
rival line, but the arrangement shonld be made
immediately by those controlling the Maoon
and Augusta Road, so that no matter into
whose oontrol the Georgia Road may fall, an
independent competing line between Macon
and Charleston will be secured for ail time.
If the Georgia Road does cot wish to enter
into this arrangement, no doubt the South
Carolina Railroad Company would cheerfully
and promptly do so—for snrely the city of
Charleston would like to reach the business of
Macon and tha interior of Georgia when so
little effort and really no expense is required to
attain the objaoL MERCHANT.
Macon, Oa., August 1st, 1871.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Dr. Palmer's Sermon.
Athens, July 30, 1870,
The college chapel to-day, at 11 a. m., was
thronged with the very elite of Georgia, assem
bled to bear the commencement sermon of Rev
B. M. Falmer, D.D., whose reputation as
orator and divine is unsnrpassed on this conti
nent.
Having only a few brief notes of the discourse,
it would be utterly futile to attempt to follow
the eloquent speaker in his masterly exposition
of Christian faith and doctrine. Delivered evi
dently from the inspiration of the moment,
there was yet a calm dignity and power, a force
of logic and sequence of analytical reasoning,
clothed in the most felicitous language, that
transfixed the attention and challenged the ad
miration of every auditor.
Highly wrought a3 was the public expectation,
none were disappointed, while the chief charm
of the sermon was its perfect simplicity and en
tire freedom from pedantic affectation.
The text was taken from Acts 26th chapter
and 25th verse : ‘T 8m not mad, most noble
Festns, bnt speak forth the words ol truth and
soberness.”
The cry of fanaticism is oftimes allowed to
sweep away and overpower tho most convincing
exemplifications of Christian devotion. Paul
grand defence before Agrippa is an instance of
this. Hence, he stands before a human tribn
nal with shackled hands awaiting condemnation
yet vindicates the Christian's faith and hope
with an nnction and unanswerable vehemence,
which causes the startled Agrippa to exclaim,
“Paul, thou art beside thyself, much learning
doth make thee mad.” But the expressive lan
guage of the text is the apostle’s reply:
nm not mad, most noble Festns, bnt speak forth
the words of truth and soberness.”
The young gentlemen before him were already
familiar with tho evidences of the Christian re
ligion, as taught and expounded by their vener
ated President and learned professors. It is
system of truth, and a system both rational and
sober.
1. Religion appeals to the moral instincts
of onr nature. It is noteworthy that all her
truths are received upon their bare statement
to the hnman mind. There is a homogeniety
and congeniality in all their relations which
makes ns receive them, and so received they
can never be discharged. No argument can
affect them in onr personal convictions. The
Atheistt in the construction of his most elaborate
argument, famishes tbematerial for his own dis
comfiture. So the Pantheist may reason against
the personalty of God, yet the very terms ho
uses overthrows his own theory and establishes
what he assays to deny. Spiritualism also seeks
to degrade the Most High by robbing him of
his attributes, bnt Christianity takes care of
itself, for the hnman heart sees the truth and
retains it—nor can that system be false which
is received by intuition.
2. The peculiar doctrines of Christianity are
altogether inexplicable to human reason, and
can only be accounted for by their divine origin.
Redemption, and the office Work of the spirit
as he enlightens the darkened understanding,
are all important and irresistible to tho mind
of man. If their truths originate with man
why can they not be explained ? What man in
vents he ought to be able to explain.
Bnt all hnman efforts best prove the Chris
tian doctrine to be inexplicable. Take the in
carnation—where can its parallel bo fonnd in
India, or Groece, or any other pagan nation. It
was only Jesus who was made flesh and dwelt
among men. Bnt if inexplicable, then its ex
istence can only bo explained npon its divine
origin. When God speaks who dares contra
dict ? Thfso are not isolated truths, bnt only
part of what forms a great and harmonions
whole.
3. Christianity is a closely compacted system
bonnd together by a strict logical connection.
Fraud and imposture work ont their own refu
tation. In Mohammed’s creed and that strange
travesties of it, Mormonism, all tho semblance of
truth they oontain is derived from other sys
tems. If Christianity was of human origin it
would have perished long since from the earth,
4. Modern systems of religion all claim per
sonal and oral revelation as their origin. Bat
Christianity showB a written revelation. The
law and testimony as received from God is onr
constant guide.
5. Christianity gives exercise to all the fac
ulties of the hnman mind in their regular order.
These faculties were arranged in Eden daring
man's innocence. The understanding is the
eye of the soul. What it receives, the will and
affections, as its executives, carry into effect.
It wields great power also, as was shown by
Satan’s subtlety in his wily attack npon onr first
parents in the garden. Tho gospel, when it
beams upon thebonl, exercises each faculty and
restores their order. Hence, the spirit first en
lightens the sonl, dispels its illusions, and re
veals the realities of our faith. Then the af
fections and tho heart become renewed, and
tho order of the faenliy is restored.
6. Christianity adjusts all the duties -which
anpertain to man. The gospel, like attraction,
draws the heart and sonl to Christ as their com
mon centre. Every anty to cbnrcb, country and
mankind is accurately defined and enforced by
it. Thus does it vindicate itself from the charge
of fanaticism. Fanatics, like Aaron’s rod.
swallow np many duties and make their own
conceptions paramount to everything. But Paul
was no fanatic, neither was he daft or vain, but
spake the words of truth and soberness.
In calling attention to the concluding portion
of the text, the speaker said Christianity was
charged with fanaticism because of its extrava
gant claims. Can anyone call the love of God,
which is the essence of religion, extravagance?
Love cannot be fanatical if it does not exceed
the claim of the object who receives it. God
is infinite in wisdom and power. He is glori
ous, beantifnl, perfect, and abounding in good
ness. Ia it possible to love such a being too
mnch? Why is it that the charges of madness
and fanaticism are not brought against the an
gels of heaven ? Becanse ihe joy of God’s
presence may well excuse their existence and
adoration. Why not so likewise with the rev
elations of His goodness to man? Even the
heathens regard ingratitndes as the basest of
vices. If God has raised the sinner from the
pit; if, by grace, he elevates man to the bliss
ful abodes of peace, and the bosom of his
Father, God, does not this call for ihe greatest
exhibition of love and devotion? “I scont and
spit upon rationalism, when it cavils and finds
fault, and seeks to measure the lore of man for
listen f r amo ** ’ I 'V* Cl fl IflTA
his bounteous Creator.” The Christian’s love
does not impair the affect ion that he cherishes
for his brother. Three great emanations from
the throne rejoice the heart of tha believer—
these ara light, life ar.d Cote. The last brings
ns so near to God that we can almost feel the
throb of his own affection. The lova for my
Redeemer conflicts with that I nurse for child,
or mother, or father ? Tte-e are bnt tha rounds
of the ladder by which I mount to loftier heights
of praise and love for my adorable Creator.
Tho love of man is bnt the corollary of his love
for God. By just so much as I can love the
Lord I can love those natural friends and kin
dred He has given me.
If permitted to address even a senate of
skeptics and philosophers instead of this assem
bly, I wonld dare stand in their presence and
not abate by a hair the claims of the gospel of
God. The Christian is one with Christ, one nn
der the law. The spirit breathes into ns the
very life of onr Redeemer. This I believe and
dare proclaim. This spiritual life expands, and
enlightens. aDd rejoices the sonl. I do not qnail
before tne charge of fanaticism. The mo6t that
the fanatic can say is that relief on does not ac
cord with his experienoe. The rationalist de-
nonnoes the illnmination of the spirit as fanat
ical. One spirit, by the aid of thought and
common emotions and impulses, as in the pres
ent instance, is capable of speaking to hundreds,
and swaying the current of their wills. Now if
the finite is able to do this, why is not God’s
spirit able to impress its power absolutely npon
the heart without the aid of conventional signs?
The argument is analogical, but reasonable and
conclusive.
The doctrines of the Bible are the reflex of
the Christian's experience. The feeblest act
of faith, though no greater than a grain of
mustard seed, is yet an act which exhausts
the whole contents of his spiritual nature.
Wherever true faith exists may be found that
peace which passeth understanding, and
Christ’s righteousness is fully imparted.
