leading lo tbe foot of Mulberry, which waa the
point of departure for the MiUedgeville excur
sionists. Nine eoaohes freighted with their
living burden moved off at the appointed hour,
amid soul-stirring strains of music, and the
joyous acclamations of hundreds who were glad
to exchange the sultry air of the city for the
green fields, and that "boundless continnity of
shade,” which can only be found In the primeval
forests of the country.'
A BLIGHT SAKPZX,
in the form of an acccident, occurred at the
outset by tbe fall from the platform of one of
the oira, owing to the sudden overcoming of
tho vis inertur at starting, of a lady passenger.
Hundreds rushed to the spot to render assist

serious injury sustained, and tranquility was
soon reetored. Oa the read all seemed to en

to cate that the cotton fields In sight were

the rainy season. This speaks well for the in

There it was announced that the Bishop's ad

the State-House, Penitentiary, Lnnatio Asylum,

tbe Stats, and is in universal requisition for
those clfices. He Is also tbe happy father of
iletsn living children, all ihe males of whom

thodical clerks be founded In Georgia, and no
fears need be entertained that the rsoe will

THE BZMOTAL OF THX CAPITAL
from Atlanta to its aooient site, the geographi
cal centre of the State, will oontinne to be agi
tated until the question is finally disposed of at
the ballot, box. The ohange waa made cot at
the instanoe of the people, but as one of a se
nes of wrongs and usurpations inflicted jointly
by Federal satraps and a fraudulently chosen
carpet bag Legislature. Georgia never will be
herself again until she repudiates and spits
upon every such act of unauthorized sovereignty
and domination.
HOW IT CAS Bl DONE.
Tbe present Radical Constitution cunningly
provid ss that tbe seat of government cannot be
again removed save by a ohange in the funda
mental law. This can only be tffjoted by a
Convention of the people. Thera are several
featur m in the ConsUtntion repugnant to justioe
and cqnity, which need modification. Let ns
have a Convention, therefore, and oarefn'Iy go
over the work again, making such changes 03
experience won't! indicate, among them the
submission ot the Gapltla question to the
past.

Bad Bots —The Dahlonegs Signal tells us of
a difficulty between two youths in the Agricul
tural School there, who subsequently met in one
of the corridors of the college, when e few hur
ried angry words passed between them, and,
without farther warning, each drew forth a pis
tol and began firing. Tbe two first shots of Mr.
U- wore knocked aside, (tbs pistol snapping at
tbe first draw.) Hr. B.’a pistol, whioh contain
ed but one charge, was discharged before rais
ing it. At tbat moment Mr. B., supposing that
be bad been bit, exclaimed that he bad no other
oharge in bis pistol, and tbat he believed him
self to bo allot, whereupon Mr. U. discharged
the third barrel in the air, not desiring to bit
him again. Upon examination it wus fortunately
found that neither bad been harmed, cor had
anyone else been touched, altbougn quite a
nnmber of young gentlemen were present.
President Lewie immediately suspended both
young gentlemen from their exereisee aa etu-
dents, leaving tho Board of Trustees to take
fiaal action in the case.
That wen’t do at all, boy«—it fs bad agricul
ture and worn shooting. Oao cant tell what
has got into Georgia—with so much pistoling.
The State la getting altogether too poor to
piatolier to any great extent, and yet we sec it
is done, cud even tke boys have taken to tke

Tbat tbe oalling of tbis convention is desired

Now, if a convention is called they may change

One very prominent member who favors the
removal of the Capital bock to MiUedgeville,
frankly said, “I can't vote fir the measure,
bowever, because my seat cost ms six bnndred
dollars, and so far I have reoe'ved not half of
tbat amount.” It is therefore a question of
dollars and oents with tbe “ ins,” who don’t

Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars have
been paid for it, shaky and hermaphroditio as

over it, which with accruing interest will
amount to near $100,000 Now when the ques
tion comes up, whioh must be at the next ses
sion of tbo Legislature, whether this mortgage
should be paid off, then will be a fitting time
to press tbe oiaims of MiUedgeviUe. Tee Kim

of the people is known at the ballot-box.
331-HOP W. H. OBOSS—HIS LZCTUBE.
Tbis angust prelate is a native of Baltimore,
aod was a strong sympathizer with the South in
her late struggle for independence. He is but
thirty-six years of age, and tbe youngest Bishop
on the ecclesiastical roll. His commission came
direot from Fio Nono a few months since, and
be has bat lately entered npon tho duties of bis
See as the successor of Bishop Peraieo. In
person, he is graceful, intelligent and pleasing,
and is possessed of fine oratorical powers and
great fluency. Ha was dressed in a robe of
nazuese blue with a broad cincture of crimson
about his waist, snd wore suspended from the
neck a massive golden craoifix Mayor Hetty
introduced the Bishop to tbe audience, which
had assembled in the old Representative Hall
in large numbers, with a <ew stirring and ap
propriate words of welcome. His allusions to
tho historical associations of the spot and the
ancient renown of Georgia, were most beauti
ful and apposite.
Bishop Gross then said, in substance : Biot
out the sun from the heavens end darkness
and desolation will enrtain the earth, and where
flowers were wout to flourish and bloom, ster
ility ensues, and tba nniverse becomes a char
nel Loose and almost a bell. So if another
sun—ihe sun of r/tcnVy—be stricken from the
moral heavens tbe world wonld become still
more horrible and chaotic. When the natural
sun rises a flood of glory irradiates the skies.
Tbe birds sing, bis genial rays give health to
the sick, and cheer and inspire with hope and
happiness al.ke the rich and poor. In a still
higher Eense and greater degree ia this tree
also of charily. Let love and charity reign,
and the world is transformed into a paradise.
The humblest oottsge, with its plainest appur
tenances and rude exterior, affords all the con
tentment to its inmates that the wealth of tbe
Indies could bestow. The mother weeps over
her dead sen and refuses to be eomforied, be
cause he is lost to her and will be seen no more
forever. But charity is the sunlight of exis
tence, and fills it with the frnits and flowers of
love. Here there is no disappointment, but
ineffable joy aid peace are the reward of the
believer.
by an anecdote of my grand-father. A German
(snd they nsmslly make excellent husbands)
who settled neiir him, bnt thought to prove his
freedom by beating his wife mort unmercifully,
oontinued bis brntal treatment, until my grand
sire oonld endure it no longer, and threatened
him with arrest if Le did not desist. "Vat,
said the incensed husband, "you call dis one
free OTnnlry and no let me beat mine wife ?
go straight back to Germana.” He bad con
fused id#as oa tbe subject Artemus Ward
said: I am a descead&nt cf tbe noble Puritans
who wonld let nobody enjoy religious liberty
but themselves. Madame Roland loo
olsimed, Oh Liberty, in thy name how many
crimes have been oommitted ? Tke Commu
nists of France likewise murdered innocent
bishops and priests in cold blood, shonting,
liberie, egalile, aU the wnile. So, many have
equally false ideas of charity. Some will give
fifty dollars or more to any given cause, pro
vided their donation is pnblisbed in tbe papers,
as John Smith of B raton contributed the splen
did sum of one dollar to a benevolent object,
with the stipulation that his name and address
accompany it.
In the heart of man there is a natural
sympathy for suffering. Even the pagan
evinces it. But charity mutt go farther to do
good. The maxim, “Clarity begins at home, 1
will not obtain in practio*. With such persons
when it becomes neeessary to make sacrifices
or spend their money for the affl'eted, their
sympathy dries up and their alms too. So tho
benevolent person may be very attentive to
the sick and forlorn, while no danger attaches
to the duty. Bat let a whisper of small pox
transpire, and he will decamp at once and leave
(hem to their fate. Selfishness therefore de
stroys charity.
Amid the proud relics of Greece and Rome,
and tbe Bplondid ruins which dot their classio
soil, not one hospital or charity foundation oan
be pointed out. In all this grandeur there was
no snch word as charity, but their women and
slaves were treated with the mo3t relentless
crnelty. Tbis is trae also of China and all
Fagan countries. Belfiibness exists wherever
Christianity does not exert its benign influences.
What is Christianity ? It may be defined to
be tbe synonym of charity. Christian faith
illustrates the trae principle of ohsrity. Earth’s
sensual pleasures and beauteous creations are
but ephemeral in their nature. Bat Christian
charity imparts happiness and joy forever more.
It opens tho fountains if peace and harmony
to tbe rich and great, Ihe g lofty aud lowly, to
prinee and beggar. Ail have one common
father, even our falher in heaven.
Even Ltzirns, who is putrid eoras the dogs
licked, and who craved the crumbs that fell
from tbe rich man's table, tasted of tbe j cys of
redeeming love and divine charity. The poor
Confederate soldier, too, oovered with wonnds
and bruises, and living in an atmosphere of
filth and misery, became the recipient of
God’s blessed charity, and faith caused a halo of
glory to encirole his dying head.
The learned prelate illustrated his theme also
by several life sketches githerod from his own
experience aa a priest, which wero exqiisiteiy
touohing and beautiful. Bit the lateness of
the hour renders it impossible to reproduce
them at this time. Suffice it to say, they served
to reveal the fact that in bis ministrations
charity had ever been a living, active principle.
Our model, he dtc'ared, in deeds of charity
and love, wai the Saviour of mankind. He
was peerless and infinitely exalted in his mis
sion of pease and salvation. He went about all
Judea doing good to every one. Even the little
children came to him to bo helped, and the poor
widow of Nain bad hor potition granted in tbe
restoration to life agtin of her only son. The
most depraved sinkers snd tho magdalens and
outcasts of society, received forgiveness at
his bands. His life was one continued scene
of charity, iova and forgivanoaa. Tho miscre
ant Jades himielf, when about to betray him,
was reooived with a kiss and every demonslra-
tion of kindness. What a boundless charity
was this?
Go to Calvary also, and see him banging
npon the Cross, gibbeted between ignoble
thieves—even stripped of his garments—In
sulted ia his dying moments—loaded with in
vectives— oalled adecsiver—spit upon—his aide
pierced with the crnol spear, and then hear his
God-like language: Father, forgive them, for
they know not what they do.
The Bishop paid a glowing tribute likewiso
to tho devoted Siators of Mercy, who nursed the
sick, braved cuntsgion and encountered doath
without a murmur, in their Savior’s cau30.
One of theso had waited upon a poor dying
soldier in his extremity, who, when exhorted to
repent and mako his peace with God, cx-
olaimed, "I don't know what you mean, bat
that girl in tho white bonnet there is angel
enough for ms, and I will do what she tells
me to do.”
Ia conclusion, Ihe eloqncnt speaker said,
though a Southerner by birtb, bo had come
here a perfeot stranger, yet had been received
with charity snl the mo3t abounding hospitali
ty—nor was ibis confined to the people of hts
own Church and faith. All denominations had
extended to him a friendly greeting, and espe
cially tbe citizens of Macon and MiUedgeville.
He wonld take this opportunity to acknowledge
their kindness, and should ever cherish tho re
membrance of it.
The entire address of Bishop Gros3 was
marked by the ntmost liberality, and not a
word fell from bis lips which conld wound the
feelings of the most sensitive of his hearers.

The Nashville Union of the 25th gives a table
of mortality from cholera in Nashville from
Jund 7th to Jane 24th inolnsive, which foots np
190 whites and 326 negroes—total 516. There
bad been several deaths before the 7th, of which
the Union had no record, and it is estimated
that from fifty to seventy-five negroes who died
from cholera in the suburbs and were bnried in
the cemetery are not included in the Union’s
table. The total deaths, therefore, arc at least
COO. The greatest nnmber of burials on any
one day, occnrrrd on the 20th, on which 72
were interred. The Union says t
The highest nnmber of deaths in one day,
in 18GG, wa3 70, on the 24th of September;
then the returns were made np to six o’clock,
and inclnded all the deaths to that hoar. The
nnmber who died on the 20th of this month
greatly exceeded that—es onr table only shows
the nnmber that were bnried np to five o’clock.
We have heard the number who died on that
day estimated by gentlemen, in whose opinion
we place a good deal of csnfidencc, at fully one
hundred. The history of the present visita
tion of cholera, shows it to be of a more viru
lent type than the Astatic cholera, or that about
the name of which there was no dispute. The
American cholera may therefore be set down a3
more fatal than that of Asiatic origin. As in
former visitations, the disease ia now yielding
more readily to medical treatment, and tbe
abrtement of the past three days inspire hopes
of Us early disappearance.

Tbe Migration of English Farmer* to
AmerJea.
J. J. Meehi writes tbe Edinburg (Sootland)
Farmer, that "farmers as well as their laborers,
are finding ont there ia a more profitable field
for their capital in the United States than in
England, and that they can take a position there
as land owners with Iebs capital than they can
here a3 tenants.” According to Mr. Meohi,
says the Nashville Union and American, this
migration is chiefly to North Carolina and Vir
ginia, and much commendation is bestowed
upon the faithfulness and industry of colored
laborers, who are said to work harder than
English laborers would under similar oircum-
stances. Evidently, Mr. Me chi thinks favor
ably of settlement bere, judging from tbe tons
of his letter, and has received satisfactory re
ports from those who have settled here. This
is a matter of great importance to the South,
for it has a world of uncultivated land open to
tillage, husbandry and well considered enter
prise. We ne6d the industry, capital and agri
cultural skill of the best English farmers. The
Cavaliers who had the courage to plant an Eng
lish colony among the Bavages of Virginia, and
tho pious Catholics who raised the banner of
the Cross and religious toleration on the Boil of
Maryland when it was all a wilderness, are the
type of men that England, Sootland and Ireland
now send «s emigrate to America. They are
the right material ont of which to form the
most prosy rons States. In population, wealth
and liooD ■ , Lor.dou bUuds at the head of
all cities. In manufactures and their exporta
tion, England is far in advance of all other na
tion*. In soient 2c agriculture and home-bred
blooded farm slook. Great Britain is so superior
as to make tke tuo«t intelligent farmers of all
countries pay ber a large and willing tribute.
The manure from cattle and horse Btabies that
fertilizes Mr. Mechi's farm is sent, dissolved in
water, in iron pipes, laid under ground, by
steam, to every field and tqaare yard of land.
Steam waters and manures the soil, plows, har
rows, and sows the seed, gathers the harvest
and threshes ont the gram, and oarries back all
the residuum, whether from man or beast, baok
to tbe depleted ground from which the orop was
taken. This is plain scientific forming, re
markable from tbe fact that it supplies no plaoe,
nor a point even, on wbloh can subsist a germ
of cholera, cholera morbns, or chills and fever.
As these pestilent germs do not and osnnot
grow everywhere, we want seientifiz European
farmers and tradesmen to show us how to statve
them to death, and preserve in health all of
woman born.
The Monster Projected TunneL
Fiom the Black Hawk Journal, June 131
The tunnel will be about twelve miles long.
Its greatest depth will be 6,000 feet, at James
Peak. It will mske Middle Park readily acces
sible from the eastern portion of the Territory;
will show what is the mineral and goological
character of tbis section, and will tolerably ex
tensively advertise the oonntry as tbo seene of
an enterprise twice as large and a hundred times
as important ss the Mount Cenis tunnel Gol.
Heaton will use tbe diamond-pointed drills, and
thus not be obliged to keep in operation nu
merous blaoksmith shops. They will be driven
by machinery. And it is expeoted that the
tunnel will progress at the rate of five feet per
hoar, or sixty feet per day. Early next year
work will commence from Middle Fatk.
Already considerable woik has been done.
The mountain has been graded down for tbe
faoe of the tunnel; a flume 1,300 feet long has
been bnilt from the creek by which a fall of 25
feet is obtained for tbe purpose of turuiDg an
over-shot whee 1 , by means of which the tnnnel
is to be supplied with air; a strong levee has
been bnilt to prevent the waters -of the creek
from overflowing and embarrassing operations
in the tunnel; a large boarding-honse, 60x25
feet, and two stories high, has been built; a
substantial bridge has also been bnilt over the
oreek on tho road leading to the Lake Gulch
country.
The objoots of the tunnel are to afford the
mean* of working the discovered mines rapidly
and cheaply, to discover Rnd open new veins,
aud to afford a track for a railway. It will strike
(be Bsbtail first of known mines, and 400 feet
below the present tnnnel.

can hardly be estimated. It insy eanse to pass

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commer
cial tells the romanco of a great family now
residing in Grant Parish, Louisiana. Mr. Wil
liam S. Calhoun is described as the scion of
one of the proudest and wealthiest families in
the State. His father onoe owned a plantation
worth over half a million of dollars, and a
thousand negroes. The vast area of land
stretching around Colfax, and known for years
as tho Calhoun plantations, attested the weBlth
and position of the family. Calhoun was born
gentleman, associated with gentlemen, and
was considered a gentleman. But be baa always
been a hunch-back from youth up, and this, to
gether with no very genial qualities of mind,
soared his disposition, and made him morose
and given to meanness and melancholy. He
recently made the acquaintance of a handsome
mulatto girl, aud determined to marry her,
despite tho protestations of his friends.
The dnsky maiden was not so smitten, how
ever, and it was not nntii he had paid the girl’s
mother five thousand dollars that the marriage
contract was made. About the time of the
marriage Calhoun’s sister returned from Europe
and endeavored to dissuade her brother from
Ui3 rash step, bnt it was found impposible, and
tbe marriage was consummated. But Calhoun
was not prosperons. The negroes did abjeet
homage to him, and his plantation of twelve
thousand acres was as rieh as any in the State,
but debt incumbered him, and mortgages osmp-
ed about him, and now it is said to be every
foot under mortgage for more than It will bring.
Among other tronbles came a rival, a contest
ant for his bride’s affections, and recently be
aucceedod in Bleating her away from ber white
husband, after learning which Calhoun commit
ted suicide by drowning himself.
Tbe Art or Beer Bibbing.
Yiennt Letter to Baltimore American )
The Germans in the United States, and.those
Americans who affect a fondness for lager beer,
don’t drink it as it is drank in Germany. They
rush into a restaurant and gulp down two or
three glasses and move on. Here a German
never thinks of finishing his glass of beer in
less than ten minntes, or to drink it without
eating something at the same time, even if it is
only a crust of brown bread. In fact, a Ger
man in the Fatherland is constitutionally op
posed to doing anything in a hurry, and espe
cially to drinking beer with “rapid speed.”
The consequencs is that we do not see men
with great, bags paunches, as at home, capable
of swallowing a keg of beer after sapper. They
seldom treat one another, bnt sit down to the
tables, and although they drink together, each
man pays for what he consumes, whether it be
beer or food. This of itself Is a great preven
tive of excess, as, if a half a dozen or a dozen
were to Bit down to drink, as with ns, each
must treat in tnrn, and thus six or a dozen
passes be guzzled, whether they want it or not.
*■ our temperance friends eonld institute what
called a “Dutch treat” into onr saloons, each
man paying his own reckoning, it wonld be a
long step toward reform in drinking to exoess.
In short, beer in Germany is a part of eaoh
man’s food. He takes it as a sustenance, and
cot as a stimulant

Grant’s bad example is having a very injuri
ous effect on the pnblicserrioe. Tbe Washing
ton correspondent of tbe Sf. Louis Republican
writes, June 21: “While the Freeident and
maBy of the members of the Cabinet are ab
sent from their duties, it might be expected the
beads of bureaus and clerks are disposed to
embrace tbe opportunity to do as little work as
possible. To snch an extent bis tbe example ef
the glorious chief been copied by the subordi
nates that the Secretary of War haa found it
necessary to issue an order notifying the clerks
in the various bureaus of the War Department
that hereafter any clerk not promptly at his
desk at 9 a. m., will be considered as having
tendered Us resignation.
A Ohsstly Ptetsre.
A leading business man of Nashville writes a
letter to a oomspoodent in Knoxville last Mon
day afternoon, from whioh tbe Frees and Her
ald makes the subjoined extract i
“Tbe condition at things has bean awfnl here.
Last Friday I reported 81 deaths. This was
obtained from the undertaken; but I am folly
satisfied that there wen at least twenty-live to
thirty more, who wars boxed up by carpenters
In different parts of tho eity end bnried. I
know of cases where whole famUiss of negroes
have died. One eras where the man and his
wife were lying deed oa the bed and three chil
dren dead on tho floor. A Mr. Jenkins, of
Edgefield, bad two ahildrea to die yesterday.
They were both at Bondar school in the morn
ing and were In their ocfflns at three o’clock.
The disease seems, however, as a general thing,
to be confined to the negroes and the poorer
dasses of white people. Inotioed that on Ban-
day. ont ot 56, there were 28 buried by the
oonnty. In almost every instanoe, where proper
medical attention oan bo had promptly, the oase
will yield to treatment. Many hare doubtless
died from fright and likewise from overdoses
of preventativee."
GOOD ADVICE.
“Whits speaking of preventative*. I will give
yon what I consider the best prescription that
oan be followed: Have a bandage, about half
a yard wide, made of good soft flannel, keep it
tied sronrd the bowels, and every morning rub
the abdomen well with spirits of camphor. I
use this constantly and require all my people to
do so.
Do this, and live prudently, eating no frnits
or vegetables, and keep from getting soared,
and you will be well fortified against oholera."
The “Escaped Nua.”—Some weeks ago the
notorions Edith G’Gorman, who advertises her
self as “ the escaped nun,” was annonnoed to
speak at a pnbiio hall in Toronto on oonventnal
life, and a few of the Froteatant clergymen
(who no donbt regretted it sinoerely enough
afterward) were indueed to further her money
making objeot by giving notioes from their pul
pits of the forthcoming lecture. The reenlt,
as stated in the Globe newspapor of that city,
was that “Mias O’Gorman appeared on the
platform nnder sbamefnl etzeumstenoes, and
her leoture, whioh both iu manner and matter
was, so far as lt went, objectionable in the
highest degree, oollapsed after twenty minntes’
heroio oontest with anpsrindneed mental
asphyxia." Ws presume this is a delioate way
of Baying aha was under the In linen oe of liqnor.
Sehatob BHERMAN has written a letter to the
Oinoinnati Gazette, explaining the disposition
he has made of his baok pay. Ho says that be
long ago informed the disbursing offloer of the
Senate that he wonld never draw tbe money,
but that he did not and does not think it neoes-
sary to receive the money and pay it back. “It
was not my purpose,” he says, “ to make any
pnbiio statement of my notion in this matter,
and I do so now not from any desire to olaim
any ment for what I have dons, nor even by
implication to oensure inch of my associates
who, though voting against the salary bill, yet
received tbs pay allowed by lt; bnt simply to
assure those who take an interest in the matter
that I have not and will not receive any portion
of the $4336 40 allowed me by the salary bill
for baok pay.’’
