Onr pity >s moved by a tale of woo from tho Td North Slaio in the New York Tribune of Old North last Saturday. About six months ago the first of a grand series of Communist experiments in the I Sonth was organized in the city of New York. A joint stock company was formed by colonists who subscribed to shares of SI 10 each, for the Tho Presidency ol Hie Mercer VDi versity Now that there is no longer any hope that r _.n Tf,.„ n ii Ttumi I rrom me omuonugB Dr. Curry will occupy the position assigned to | North Carolina, the I cU P 016 foUowing items most of it fine bottom land—embracing illimit- | ablo water power, and including a large brick I hotel and fine mineral springs, which had been a popular summer resort. They paid or contracted to pay for this prop- I erty $70,000, and spent $7,000 additional for THE GKOKHIA PRAMS. A homed snako, five feet long, was seen by all the Atlanta locals last Friday. Go slow, boys, or even chloral wont save yon. The Mayor’s Court at Atlanta is a paying in- | stitution. It netted $1,008 50 during the month of July. From the Bainbridge Argus, of Saturday, we [NEW ADVERTISEMENTS NEW ADVERTISEMENTS him aa the head of this Institution, we have a suggestion to make to the Board of Trustees, which wo treat will meet with an emphatic en dorsement. It ia, that tho ablo and beloved ex-Preaidcnt, Ber. n. H. Tucker, D. D„ be re-elected to the offioe be once adorned with his talents and _ . . . nietr and a provisional president be appointed farming stock and tools. Of the total snm, to discharge its duties during the absence of | $20,000 were paid down and payment of the the Dootorin Europe. It U known that all of bis plans having been arranged for this foreign tour, which was under taken as much for information as amusement, it would be asking too mnob of him to desiro its abandonment But surely during the period which must elapse before the completion of tho buildings, and tho thorough organization of the University, Dr. Tncker oonld be spared to pro- aecnte his travels and researches abroad. Such men are rarely to be found; and no effort should be spared to induce bis return to this school of learning, which already owes so mnch of its snoceas to bin exalted worth and administrative ability. We dare ventnro the assertion that any action like the above, will receivo tho carefnl consider ation of tho Doctor. United States Boiler Inspection. It seems that tho engineer of the Westfield Ferry Boat was n negro who oonld not read or write and whoso ignoranco of tho natnral laws and phenonomn affecting his avocation, afford ed no small sport before the coroner’s jury. But another fact quite os strongly elicited by the onqniry into this catastropho is tho total insufficiency of tho Federal Inspectionof steam boat boilers. It amounts to little or nothing, and it is in proof that where boilers are submitted to actual tests above their certified capacity, the inspection works harm, by straining and weak ening thorn. It seems to us Government in spection should begin with the boiler iron. All iron for tho construction of boilers to passen ger steamboats should bo tested and stamped. Tho law ehonld proscribe the thickness, and tenacity and tho mode of bnilding and bracing. Tho boilor should bo registered and stamped on its front with tbo dato of manufacture, and five years thereafter it should coaso to be a legal remainder stipulated at the end of the year. On this schedule fifty colonists moved ont from New York in early spring and took quarters in the hotel, to work the place on the co-operation principle. Of eonrse, the reader will not donbt that the Tarheels living in the neighborhood of French Broad Biver, stood amazed at the prowess and agricultural skill of these live Northern brith- ren—that the very earth trembled under the shock of deep plowing—that the sturdy colonists worked early and late, often and all the time— that the crops sprung up as if by magic, and this co-operativo farm shone amid the surround ing poverty, indolence and ignorance like a gem of the desert. Alas, no: says tho Tribune correspondent: The colonists began the work of cultivating the farm, and commenced to build an expensive atono dam across the creek, instead of a cheap wooden one which would have done just as well for five years to come. Some worked indnstri- ousI>, but others found it more agreeable to sit on the hotel piazza, drink the waters, and play croquet on the lawn, than to plow, dig, and cut stone, and as all were masters, no one was com pelled to work. This kind of management brought no moat to tho pot, but it did bring affairs to a focus. Tbo correspondent, writing July 234, says: “Night before last the important question was how to get food for breakfast, which was settled by a resolution that those who had money should pay a certain snm per week to pay for food for themselves and for those who bad no moans." But the writer doubted whether “res olutions” would do to rely on in tho way of a steady commissariat. Meantime, they bad made more unpleasant discoveries in the financial, department. Of the $20,000 actually paid, $17,000 had been borrowed and a second mortgage of $22,000 given for it. The Association found itself $83,- 000 in debt on a six months’ purchase of prop- New corn meal is becoming plentiful in the city. Sweet potatoes of this year’s production are also being brought in. Our farmers have suooeeded in saving their fodder pretty generally, wi'hont a drop of rain falling during the time. Fodder will be good, abnndant and cheap. Rust.—The rust has made its appearance on tho cotton in portions of this county. A field near this place has shed its leaves, and all the forms and young bolls are dead. All the ma tured bolls are open. 1 nz caterpillar fly is believed to have made its debnt, and apprehensions of mnch injury to the cotton crop from this insect is being in dulged by many of the farmers in this section. Just so, Captain.—A red faced, yankee look ing chap, apparently eighteen or nineteen years of ago, who called himself Captain John Bent, was perambulating the vicinity of Attapnlgns the first part of this week, insuring the lives of all the darkies be conld dnpe, for the very mod erate snm of $2 50 per anDnm. Cuuiosmza.—A Mr. Beiley, of this county, was in town Wednesday last, exhibiting what we thought were three curiosities, having never seen anything that rivaled them in their special line. The first was a pea-hull measuring one yard two and a half inches in length, and con taining only seven peas, which were folly ma tured ; the second was a cucumber, in the shape of a small glass bottle, tho encumber having been put into the bottle when quite young; and the third curiosity was the man himself, who, it is said by able judges, is tho ugliest maa in Georgia. The Stonewall Fire Company, at Bainbridge, has one more officer than other companies. At least the Argus speaks of the “nozzleman” of that company. There were six cases of miscegenation tried in the various Magistrate’s Courts of Atlanta, last week, as we learn from the Butledge Im porter. Tho trewly loyal black vote of Chatham county ia steadily decreasing by reason of the trewly loyal aforesaid contimmig to En-klnx one another.

Walter Blake, Esq., a well known Sonth Carolina planter, died at Savannah on Sunday, of cancer, aged sixty-eight.

G. O'Keefe, of Atlanta, is dangerously j ill at Gainesville, and little hope is entertained of his recovery. Atlanta organized a Board of Trade, Monday night, with Major B. E. Crane as President, and six Vioe P.’s. James Lovelace, an Atlanta bailiff, was acci- I the 80-callod House, of thoso-cnltod Legislature, and a negro momber of that concern made a wager of $1,000 as to the respective merits of their spans of fast trotters. The race camo off and Mosos lost, and tho next day the negro in troduced a resolution in tho House that, where as, Mr. Speaker Moses had presided faithfully and with all dae courtesy, etc., therefore, be it ing the rounds of the papers, showing why wo men do not keep pace with men in the race of mental development. They start on the same plane and travel together in childhood, bnt the nascent belle is soon left behind in a wilderness of ribbons, laces, curls, flounces, false hair, etc., and the masculine scholar passes ber out of sight. Mrs. Phelps tel's of 147 onrls on a resolved, that tho Spoakorbepaid one thousand s ; D gle head dressed for a ball, and 425 yards of doliart out of tbo contingent fund of tho House. Tho resolution was passed with the general an- I trimming on a single dress.

The latter is far more aestbetical—has far greater tender ness and warmth of affection—and litezallv liven in the atmosphere of admiration and love with which she surrounds herself. These strong points of the sox, with which a benevolent God has endowed her, in order that homes may be attractive, deligbtfnl, softening and refining to the ruder sex, are, it is tree, often perverted and misdirected; bnt so is everything else in this world of sin and error. But, perhaps, even better the excesses of fashionable folly than the Gradgrind philosophy of the strong-minded, which aims at the extinction of those mental peculiarities by forcing the girl into all the training, studies and pursuits alone befitting the sterner, rougher, more independent and less sympathetic nature of the boy. Whatsortof a world wonld these strong-minded make if they oonld have their way ? These mis called philosophers, in their vain imaginations, ignore tho general directing Providence of God. Seeing a depraved world full of wrong and vio lence, they trace all its disorders to social mis construction, instead of assnming, as others do, that these ontoroppings of sin come in spite of a natnral and proper social order; and notwith standing the wickedness of man, God has never abdicated the general government and direction of bnman affairs. They are going to cure all wrong by their patent nostrum of a social and political re-organization, which shall abjure all distinctions on account of color, race, sex, ago, virtue and vioe, ignoranco and learning. Bnt it is not too mnch to say that all the social dis tinctions, such as those of color and sex which are heaven-ordained and immutable, must be respected by hnman governments, or the latter will only expose their folly, impotence and wickedness at last.

The Story of an Old Kan lVho Married Young Wife. The Columbus (Ohio) Statesman is anthority for the following story: “Abont eight years ago Peter Poffenbarger, residence in Madison county, Ohio, aged eighty years, possessed of a large property, estimated at $750,000, married a young woman of attrac tive appearance. Four years afte wards he died, leaving nearly all his estate to his widow, and the residue to her in trust for the use of two children, who had been born during the union. The widow soon married a young man who was represented as a reporter ona New York pa per, converted her property into money, and re moved to New York. Hereher husband engag ed in bnsmeics as a banker. Two months ago the neighbors of old Mr. Poffenbarger, who profess to have always suspected foul play in the manner of his taking off, caused the body to be exhnmed. and the viscera forwarded to Columbus, Ohio, for analysis. The sec ond husband, according to the Statesman, appeared on the soene and attempted to stop this operation by threats of legal proceed ings. The analysis was, however, proceeded with, and on Friday last Dr. T. G. Wormley, of Colnmbns, who had conducted it, made a re port to the legal authorities of Madison connty, to the effect that he had fonnd “large quantities of arsenio in the stomach, and traces of the same in the liver.” Upon this report a requi sition was procured from the Governor of Ohio for the arrest of the former Mrs. Poffenbarger in New York, but from a delay of two or three days in dispatching an officer to execute it, ap prehension is expressed in the Ohio paper that the accused may have fled the coantry. The reporter referred to is Richard T. Col burn, a war correspondent of the New York World, and now confidential clerk to Fisk & Hatch, bankers, New York city. Oolbum was an intimate associate of Bichardsoc, the tree- layer whom McFarland so righteously slew, and may have imbibed some of that worthy’s pecu liar notions about other men's wives.
