Telegraph & Messenger. 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. Visible Supply or Cotton. The New York Commercial and Financial Chroniole of Friday gives the following table of visible supply up to Friday night: 1871.

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. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. 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. of salvation. “The spirit glad tidings to the ends of the world. taunts of their enemies, not done for ns ? This is dence. A poor Scotch matter, bnt I fed that the Bible is true.’ 1 ewer infidelity thus—I know that my Red liveth. To the scoffer he wonld say: it wonld b to fnm the charge back npon yon, ant whelm yon with the sword of the truth, the Master’s representative, I come to not strive with yon. If there bo one p whom there is slender hope. The sermon closed -with an elegant anc passioned appeal in behalf of lost sinners, above is but the faintest outline of Dr. Pal argument, imperfectly expressed. Nom? the gifted divine himself could fill out the traituro to its life-like proportions. Lonf his sermon be remembered. Called upon denly, the Doctor then delivered a tom Baccalaureate address to tho graduating which was replete with good counsels and i iDg passages. We forbear to give any sket the same.
