The Chops.—Tbe prospects o! a fair
cotton crop are still encouraging. Tlie
vust is not general, nor destructive ex
cept m spots, confined, in most part, to
guancsd lands, and, it is presumed, tbe
pTy.moit delightful veatber will bare a
tendency to arrest it in its progress.
Some of our planters make no complaint
of rust.

others it baa not yet appeared. We

.Tlie prospects of this great work are
still flattering and there can be no donbt
of its success. The coarse of the Di
rectory has given general satisfaction,
and sugars well for the future of the
work.
We copy the following admirable ar
ticle from the Cathbert Appeal, of tbe
5th instant, which is eminently jnst and
correct in its representation of the ad
vantages of the Bainbridge route over
that via Albany. The editor says:

Savsmiiah Freights.
The complaints of our correspondents,
from Chattahoochee, regarding freights
from Savannah, have been investigated,
and we are authorized to assure them
that no fault attaches to the officials on
the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, or any
ono in their employ.
.The merchants of Savannah, in com
mercial parlance, write to their patrons:
"We have shipped to-day, by the Atlan
tic aid Gulf Railroad,’’ which only
means that the goods have been sent to
the railroad. These goods often get
there too late for the freight train,which
letives only twice a week. When this is
tile case, the goods are forced to lie over
two or three days before they are really
"shipped.”
The goods of the'Chattaboocliee gen
tlemen lay nt the warehouse iu Bain-
bridge a week or more before they were
ro-shtpped by the person hero to whom
they were consigned.
The President of the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad is a vigilant, active,
Christian gentleman, who fully appreci
ntes his responsibilities, and the impor
tance of the duties of his office; nor is
there a better officered or more faithful
ly conducted road than the Atlantic and
Gulf in the State of Georgia
refutation in any college ! About nine
Railroad from Tallahassee to
Bainbridge.
No one who will take the trouble to
examiuo the map can donbt the wisdom
of the movement in Tallahassee to run a
roml from that city to Bainbridge.—
Every interest of Tallahassee demands
shell a road, which, when built, will
complete a direct line of railway to the
great West, through a cortutry as fertile
and otherwise important to the interests
of a road as can be fonud any where.
We do uot say it boastinglv, lint this
city, irom its local advantages, is obliged
to be the city of Southern and South
western Georgia, notwithstanding inter
ested parties may say and do a good
many things to prevent it. This lias
been our unwavering belief' for many
years. '*
Since the meeting iu Luiupkin, we
learn $50,000 have been added to the
Stewart county lists, and so resolved at e
her people not to forego this last oppor
tunity to make connection with the outer
world, that a direct tax if needs be will
be laid upon the connty by unanimous
consent to raise any deficit that may be
wanting iu the premises,
The argument of the Dawson Journal,
that a connection with Thomasville via
Albany, is preferable to the people of
Webster and Stewart, because the former
is 40 miles nearer the sea than the latter
iB not worth a moment’s consideration,
for the following reasons:
1st. The project is unsupported by
Slate aid and cannot possibly obtain
sufficient private assistanoo to assure its
success.
2d. The principle governing throngh
freights, especially when other routes
offer competition, will cause rates to mle
ns low or lower from Bainbridge to Sa
vannah or Brunswick, as from Thomas
ville to those points.
3rd. The proposed construction of a
road from Bainbridge to St. Marks via
Tulluhassee gives to shippers the choice
of another Gulf outlet to market.
4th. Bainbridge is in easy access by
water to New Orleans, which mast be
come the great sugar and grain mart to
this region of conntry, because of the
superior cheapness of water transporta
tion.
5tfi. The road we advocate will form
an important liuk in the great air line
..ystem which is destined to nnite the
South and West, and must, therefore,
prove a paying investment.
6tli. Tbe enterprise is already organ
ised, sufficient means to guarantee its
completion have been provided, and in
the hands of President Brnton nnd his
spirited coadjutors, the contracts for
grading will soon be let and the work
pressed forward with the utmost dis-
path.
These facts will at onco dispose of the
Albany project, which is a mere feint to
divide and disconcert our efforts. Like
Nehemiah of old, however, we have a
great work before n* and cannot afford
to listen to the twaddle of r.nr enemies.
Important Injunction Case —We
henrd yesterday that Satnnlay last, at.
the instance of parties interested, Judge
Schley grantedan injunction restraining
the President and Directors of the
Brunswick, Albany nnd Enfaula' railroad
from all acts looking to the construction
of snob a road. We have not seen the
application, and shall be able to speak
of the matter more fully and advisedly
hereafter.—San. Republican, 10th intant.
We sincerely trust that, should there
bo any legal remedy to prevent this
stupendous fraud upon the people of
Georgia, it may be used before the work
is commenced. It surpasses belief that
snob a moustroeitv, as the bill granting
aid to this proposed road, could have
been passed l>y the Legislature of the
State of Georgia.
We do not write this from any oppo
sition to the enterprise itself, or to tbe
city of Brunswick.
Defects, anti the Remedy.
We complain mneb of political troub
les. Radical oppression, social degener
acy, and m r»l coirnption ; but tbe
greater and more damning aviis of the
SouMi arc ignorance and lack of energy
an'i enterprise. Corruj t legislation may
roh ns ot ail oar accumulated wealth;
unjust and oppressive taxation may
grind the faces of the poor, and pern-
cation may deny us temporary prosper
ity. but ignorance and sloth alone can
keep ns in the du«t. All these troubles,
if we are wisely "exercised” thereby may
only prove affliction’s furnace to refine
ns—to discipline and improve us, and
make u» in the end wiser and better.
Poverty begets want; necessity tenches
self-reliance; self-dependence inspires
energy; energy employs invention;
invention develops resource*; and the
ilevelopmect <>f all the resources hid
den in earth, in air and in water, multi
ple rur wealth and increase our stock
ot happiness. Tints, has it been trnly
arid, th'it “knowledge is power.” amt
that power alone which is productive of
human happ ne^ - -*■
But, alas! when we look over on
I eloved S ! ate, how sadly deficient are
we in useful, practical knowledge. It
is use'ess. Mi. Editor, to disguise the
fact; the cause of education has wofuMt
declined in consequence of the late »*r.
Our svs'em ol education was far from
being perfect tielore the war ; blit in
stead ol learning wisdom by sad experi
ence, our people have given way to
gloom amt despoudeiicv, and sunken
down in apathy and despair. Con e-
quent'.y, while the scientific world has
moved on apice has tunneled the
Rocky Mountains spanned America,
bridged the Atlantic, and united the
Red and Meditcranean seas— while
the very slaves beneath our heel have
risen from bondage nnd aspired to be
come our rulers, and, in some instances,
have actually made rapid acquisition in
knowledge, we as Georgians, have sat
still on the stool of do-nothiug, and are
suffering the present generatian to grow
up to manhood, ignorant, uneducated,
unprepared for the duties of the hour,
unarmed for the battle of life.
Now, with your permi“sion, Mr. Ed
itor, I propose t> develop two important
fa< ts. and then, perhaps, suggest a rein
edv for existing evils.

Thists a gloomy picture for codeges,

No, indeed. “Bovs must ph»y,’’ ’aj* l ho
narrow-minded, shotl-sighted, monev-
h.viug fathers; and “girls must stay at
home to knit and sew, darn stocking-*,
feed chickens and learn houso-wifery
—and occasionally practice the winning
arts to look pr*-tty and attract the hoys,
says a silly mother who has no higher
ambition for her daughter than to en
trap a rich husband. Consequently not
many of the girls and still fewer of the
bovs receive the benefit of even a com
mon-school education.
With shame wc confess it. but the
truth is, parents a*e allowing their
children to grow up in ignorance. The

they can bos» a water-melon patch, or
ni*ke cnangr- for a glass of lemonade.
They learn imperfectly to spell, read
write and cipher, then they jump to
Latin and Gteefc; and, with a little
s-na'tering of each, they are ready (?)
fur the practical duties of life. They

on last Sunday night to a large audience.
Although age is beginning to tell on

impressive and fiery e.oquence that
characterised him iu days of yrre. We
have uever yet henrd him preach without
becoming profoundly concerned in what (, e inaugurated d-.-where ; but, serious*

reetty ’lie Fai-Ies in Lriin R-aler, or
parse the sentence, * Corn is worth two
dollar* aluishi*!.’’
Such hot bed, mushroom institutions
add hot l : ttlj to the general stock of
knowledge, while they really prejudice
the name of C«dlcge, and lower the
standard of edm-ation.

If Bishop Bierce is aged, his father,
who is thirty-five or forty years his sen
ior, must lay some claim to it like desig
nation ! The Bishop is exceedingly old iu
labors and usefulness, but in years he is
in the prime of life and possesses all the
vigor of robn8t manhood.

How manv counties in Georgia—this
grand old Empire Slate—have no rep
of education; lienee the number of
ignoramuses sent out to disgrace
their Alma Maters and reLder the
name of college unpopular. Early
impressions are the most lasting.
Hence, unless elementary instruction
is correct and iborough, no subse
quent pains-taking can cover up, or
erase the defects. If the fountain be im
pure, no prophylactic can cleanse the
polluted waters that flow from it. If
primary schools and academies are
tanghi by silly women, and incompe
tent, corrupt pedagogues who only
mislead, and “darken coun-el;” and
iheir well pumped pupils are receiv
ed >nto college without any discount
on previous acquisitions, how can w<*
expect the professor’s pencil, brush
aud chisel to polish such a mass of
rotleunesa.
The trii; h is, Mr. Editor, our sys
tem of education is too eclectic. I
have heard of the eclectic system of
medicine, wln-ra the physician selects
remedies lioni the mu.tilold clas-es ol
minerals, vegetables, Ac., in the vast
*r>-ar.a of nature. But I never knew »
pbvs iian to bring along bis apothe
cary-shop, and allow the patient in
everv instance to select the medicine
that best suited h 8 taste. How absurd
would it be fo the patient, in any in
stance, to send for the physician, and
yet prescribe his own cure: yet, it is
still more unreasonable, we think, for
ignorant pupils and, in some cases, still
more silly parents, practically to dictate
the course of study in all our schools
and college*. Bui it is useless to pursne
t'io snbj-ct. The facts are patent to all.
Call up graduates of any two colleges,
or any two graduate* of the same col
lege and examine them thorough] a*
