We will be pleased t<> THE FIRST BOOK OF BOTANY, Designed to cultivate the observing powers ot children. By Eliza A. You- man’s. 300 engravings. D. Apple- ton & Co., 549 & 551, Broadway, N Y. It is a strange illustration of the slowness of many' phases of mental progress to record the fact that now, lor the first time, has been discovered the true system of imparting a knowl edge of the elementary principles of Botany to the human mind. The se cret ot the system consists in causing punils to take the vegetable objects around them for their text book, and to use the little volume before us as a help only. His first lesson is written not on "a leaf of this little volume*, but on a leaf or flower ol which he gathers from its patent stem and stu dies under the guidance of an intelli gent instructor. The external charac ters ol these objects are at once seen to vary, and these variances are pur sued from the simple to the more com plicated forms with the ever-re.ady aid of the book and the living instructor, until the pupil is thorough master of practical as well as theoretical Botany. This system of botanical instruction was first practised by the late Prof. Hmslow ot Cambridge, England, with the happiest results. With this sys tem, he succeeded in inspiring his pu pils of tender age, made up of labor ers’ children of very limited informa tion, with the most eager interest in Botany. To such an extent did this training develop the observing powers of his pupils that they speedily out stripped, in all other branches of study, the pupils of gieater age and superior “advantages” (as the word is usually applied) who had been taught accord ing to the remarkable old Book-Worm System. * We cannot enter into details of Prof. For the Union Sc Recorder.

Furman, E.-q.—Lunatic Asylum—Rain Storm.—New- boy Nuisances.—Duel Lipped in the bud. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 17, 1872. The Legislature “prolongation” pre dicted in our Ia3t letter has taken pluce. Only ten days have been ad ded, however—making, in all, a ses sion of fifty days. This is moderate in these extravagant times, and ex tremely so considering the vast amount of work done and yet to do. No Leg islature Georgia has ever had, has la bored more assiduously. Since our last letter, the Bond ques tion has been disposed of by the dis avowal of all those bonds signed by Gov. Bulloch contrary to law. These will aggregate about five millions o dollars. The remaining liabilities of the State will be reduced to S 14,000,- 000, or thereabout. Tl e Agricultural College Bill pass ed the Senate yesterday, and will pro bably pass the House. Ignoring Ath ens, it gives to Dahlonega one third, to Atlanta one-third, arid to Milledge- ville the remaining third of the pro ceeds of the lands donated by Con gress, accepting the oiler of the Trus tees of Oglethorpe High School to turn over to this State institution the valuable buildings and lands in Mid way. No effort will lie spared by our friends in tiie Legislature—and they are numerous—to effect this mostjust and equitable disposition of the fund. With this arrangement perfected, old Midway will once more become a fa vorite seat of science and learning as it was in the days of the great and good Dr. Talmage. We shall remain heie until we see the (as we trust) Ilenslow’s system in this brief article ; final passage of the bill. We have but we must commend to teachers j heard the idea of a veto suggested; and parents most earnestly the duty of but we are assured in well informed securing Miss Youtnan’s little volume and using it in their schools and fami lies.

TilK POLITICAL PROSPECT. The Greeley stock seems to be ris ing in every direction. Ie New Eng land the v\ bite coated philosopher has been traveling to some purpose. Ev erywhere crowds of people awaited him, and the greatest enthusiasm in favor of the liberal movement seems to prevail, even in New England, li is reported that Mr. Greeley says he shall get ihe vote of three New Eng land States, viz: New Hampshire. Connecticut and Rhode Island. Many of our politicians believe we shall succeed in Maine, and even in Massa chusetts there is great commotion among the Republicans, and there is a prospect of two liberals being electee 1 from the Boston districts. The con tests in Pennsylvania and Indiana art both very fierce with the prospect in both States of a liberal victory. With three of the New England States, and New York, Pennsylvania and Indiana, in favor of Greeley, we consider his election sure. But besides these, Illi nois, Grant’s own State, is extremely doubtful. The news from the South ern States is generally favorable to the liberal cause, and all ot the signs now indicate the downfall of Grant and Military rule, and the triumph of Gree ley, honesty, peace and liberty. crimination acquired in early life formsj at work here against Greeley ; among a component part of the child’s char-j them our esteemed fellow-t itiz m J. acter which, extending through life,I H.

To be ignorant of Botany will be in the next generation as great a misfortune in public opinion as now it is to be un able to read and write. Price of the volume sent by mail SI 50. Tiie Agricultural College Land Scrip.—It will be seen by our Atlan ta letter that the Senate passed a bill on I riday lust taking away all the land scrip from Athens and giving one-third to Dahlonega, one third to Atlanta,and one-third to Milledgeville. A motion to reconsider on Saturday was ruled out of order. It is thought this bill will also pass the House. the mouth oeorbia tihes and (Oil. A KLCfON TIFT. We copy tlie following well deserved complimen’ to Colonel Nelson Tift of Albany aud fully endorst every word ol it- Col. Tift had the nerve befort a strong Radical committee to tell Bullock ii hr had hi- just deserts he would then be occupying ^ cell in the Ge rgia Penitentiary rather than the Executive office. He spent much time and money in collecting testimony to prove bow Georgia had been slandered by Bullock- Col. Tift was trium phantly elected to Congress from the 2nd D.strict when but very few Democrats in the .Stale could have performed that feat. We believe the people of the Second District will do themselves great honor and the State good service: by electing Col. Tift to Congress, the following is the extract from the Soulb Georgia Tunes : Cot. W. o. Fleming for Congress.—Onr Bambiidge exchanges ho st tlie name of the abov gentleman as the choice ol Decatur toi Congre-- sional honor. We are also invited by a private letu r from Bainbridge and by the [ ress there, to give our support to his nomination. As a high- toned gentleman and a first class lawyer we ad mire Col.

But it is our Conviction that the second Distiict owe a deb to Hon Nelson Tilt, that can only partially bt paid by re-electing him to Congress.

Henly Smith, the sprightly and vigorous managing editor of the “Sun” newspaper of Atlanta has placed before the public a volume which cannot fail to attract very gen eral attention in Georgia. Its com plete title is as follows: “ The Evi dence taken by the Joint Committee of the Legislature of the 5>rate of Georgia appointed to investigate the Management of 'l'he Stole Road under the Administration of R. B. Bulloch and Foster Blodgett.” 'l'he volume is one of very great in terest. As a record of political and financial corruption it is without a parallel in literature. The famous frauds of Posturnius in the second Pu nic V\ ar which sent him a disgraced fugitive from Rome were insignificant in comparison with the tstate Road frauds here exposed. Its chief actors have followed the example of the Ro man rogue, and are beyond the reach of justice. It is well that the citizens of Georgia should know the men. their acts, and their infamy by way of a warning against all, even the slightest deviations from rectitude. The preface to the volume is writ ten by the most caustic touches of Mr. Smith's pen. 4 he nature of the sub ject suits Mr. Smith’s denunciatory ge nius : he is an abler blamer than praiser. \Ve have often admired the keenness and skill of Mr. Smith’s Damascus blade of invective; and were he to turn bis attention to poetical compo sition, lie would occupy a high place among the eutiri© poets of the English language. The corruptionists, no mat ter what had been their political ante cedents, have been faithfully at d im partially exposed. The herculean la bors of the committee are revealed as the reader progresses through the vol ume. We have i ad the pleasure of conversing with one of the committee : Hon. R. W. Phillips of Echols county, and we are sure that no public task could fall into more faithful and coti- scientous hands than his. We are gratified to find that the testimony does not implicate one of Atlanta’s most enterprising citizens who was subjected to an investigation touching some of the State Road trans actions. We allude to Mr. Lewis Scho field, President of the Atlanta Rolling Mill Company. Mr. Schofield is an upright and useful citizen, devoting himself to the immense business of his Rolling Mill, and doing more than any other single citizen in the State to establish that system of manufactures which must he mainly depended on to insure the future prosperity of Georgia. 'l'he volume contains nearly 300 octavo pages: price, Si 50. It is to be found at the house ol Hunt, Rankin & Lamar of our city. Storm in New York.—A terrific sto-m, frrm n-id- oglil lo daylight, extended throughout the 8-btU. i rain* w«i e delayed, nothing in regard to the Asylum af fairs, notwithstanding the antagonistic publications of Dr. Gumming and Dr. Bozeman on the one hand,and the Superintendent on the other. Public interest is engrossed in other matters. The rains this week have been pro fuse here; hut to-day is clear, cool, and delightful. Atlanta is, however, as sloppy and muddy as we have ever seen it. Some ot the principal streets are illy provided with side drains, making crossings disagreeable. The stranger is excessively annoyed by the persistent importunities of news boys, who thrust themselves in one’s way when walking or conversing, and who will not cease their persecution without an emphatic arid vocal re sponse. Frequently they obtrude on parties engaged in conversation on the streets, and make themselves such a nuisance as we have never seen from this cause in any other city. When we arrived here on the 13th the city was on the qui live for the expected duel between Gen. Ander son ot this city and Hon. Mr. Goode of Sumter. V ery soon a correspond ence was published showing an hon orable adjustment of the difficulty. The order of the Knights Templar, which they were members, took the matter in band without tlie knowledge of the parties, settled it on a basis ot justice, arid constrained them to abide by the decision without shedding each other’s blood. W. G. M. From the North.—Mr. It. II. Sims, now traveling at the North, writes home to his friends about matters and tilings up there. We are permitted lo publish that portion of tiis letter pertaining to politics. Mr. Sims says lie has conversed with a great many men, and heard others talk. He says: “Ail the prominent merchants in New York are for Greeley, many ol whom were for Grant before.” From this aud other circumstances, he has arrived at the conclusion that “Horace Greeley will be our next Preident.”— He “has had a pressing invitation to go up and see the old man, but thus far has declined.” The masses of the people, regardless ot paitr, seem to be lor Greeley. Grant’s office holders are already seeking other business situations. Many o'her favorable in dications.— tirijfin Slur. For the Union & Recorder. Messrs. Editors : I have read with much satisfaction Dr. Green's answer to Drs. Cuinmiugf and Bozeman. Dr Green has in my opinion completely vindicated inmself from most of the charges prefs red by these very learned Doctors, aud where tbtre was just cause of complaint, he has shown that the fault did net rest upon him. When the Report ot Dr Cumming was first published, many persons who had been familiar with the management of the Asylum wire struck with astonishment, but I confess I was not, I had expected something of the kind, I had heard much about Dr. Cummin; and was told that he was coming on purpose to make j charges against the officers ol the institution. It wag strongly suspected that he had an object and a purpose of his own in making an unfavorable report. You know Mr Editor, that I am in no way connected with the institution or any of its officers but 1 desire lo see justice done to faithful public servants and I know of my oan personal knowledge, that many of the charges brought agu nst them are nut true.

The letter is dated at St. Leo naid B-on Sea, England, June JSlli. II says : In rcgaid to Mr. te.eel.-y, 1 am free to say that he is not the man whom I should have selected from all the great an<L good uo u ol the United .Mules H> have headed a ticket pledged to Reform and to the ex posure and punislnneiit ot corruption ill the adminis tration of public affairs.

Tl*it he is holiest is conceded on ad hand-; and his capability a Units of no question The Tri- bnnr is a liviugevidei.ee of thut fict.

Mi Greeley's Merits and Chances, The simple truth is that Greeley, being self-educa ted and self-made, like every man of tnat class I have ever known, has, or rather had a large amount ot vanity, and, like all the rest ol them, started in lile be lieving himself wis-r than anybody else. Hence In- allied himself wi h ism after isin, honestly believing that he could carry them lo a suceesslul termination But wisdom came with experience, and gradually, but surely, true wisdom opened his eyes to the fact that he was not so uiucb wiser than all the rest of mail- kind as he imagined. The con-equenres of this real knowledge was the abandonment, one after the other, ol all the Ism and vagaries of lus eu-ly manhood, hud now,when approaeh'ng three-score years, his knowl edge. his wisdom, and liis experience have all increas ed and ripened info a well developed character, in which there is far more to admire and respect than in the editor of the Tribune some fifteen years ag->.

I do not entertain a doubt that, it eh oted. he »ill prove as able aud as safe a President as the most patriotic advocates ot reform c.-uld desire. I believe, too, that if there are politicians who think that Greeley, when elected, can lie easily molded to their wishes, they are destined to be greatly disappoint ed. Right or wrot g. lie will, if elected, he Pi esident; and hemmed in as he is on all sides, by a public life in which lie is fully committed upon all questions of na’ional policy,be cannot go astray if he would, and I lielirve him to be too honest to entertain any such desire He lscoinmitted to the *‘ono term principle,” and thereto e hecanhavenopiirpi.se but to build up .or himself the reputation of t. • faithfully —e--,l t..- •*«>.(.}>. and ably and honestly d'schaigcd the duties of Chief Magistrate.

Frwpa and the Caterpillar. Thi9is a very important time in the history of this yeai’s crop,and grea' public interest is manifested, every where, in the reports irotn various sections ol our State. Our people are depending solely upon a good crop.for an influx ofcnp'tal and laige fall and winter trade In fact, if our crops dt> pot bear us through sately, there will be heavy crashes among business men. We have carefully examined ouy ex changes upon thi* subject and have collected-, and condensed the following statements in regard to crops and the caterpillar, in unpor'ant sections of our State. The Cuthbert Appenl reports that the caterpillar have made their appearance in Early, Calhoun, Quit man and ka: d lpli counties. The Columbus Sun ot the Jnd inst., stated that large numbers ot caterpillars, and boll and army worms, have appeared iu the sections ot country around Col umbus. Abundant corn crops in Stewart county. Cotton lias been sheddijg, owing to the late dry weather, but re cent rams have checked this aud stimulated a new growth. I he Quitman Banner reports that the caterpillar prevails to an alarming extent throughout Biooks, ami adjoining conn les in Ge rgiaand Florida. The corn crop in the vicinity of koine Ga.. is the best, known in that section. Crops are splendid around Senoia. I he Dawson Journal says:—“From information re ceived by os from Terrell," and surrouu ling counties, we are not favorable impressed at the idea of a tout million h-.le crop.” Corn will be plentiful in Gordon county. Cotton in Screven county has suffered severely from the continuous drought, that has prevailed in that county lor some lime past. Oue halt the crop wiil prob ably be cut off. From all quarters of Paulding cunty comes the cheering report that better crops will be made this year than has beeu made for leu years past. So says the Rocs mart Reporter- Crons in Rockdale county are most flattering. They are generally flue in Newl.m county. There is ilie heaviest cotton crop in Lowndes county on reco.d, aud it is too late for the caterpillar to injure it Crops splendid i: Coweta county. Best crop ever known now on hand in Floyd. The caterpillar has beeu seen iu Thomas county. General Banks on the Prospects.—The World of Tuesday interviewed Geuerul N. P. Bin ks. who, it w ill be r. metnbered, has recently come out tor Gree ley and Brown Banks says this much about the pros pects ot tiie ticket; “ I consider the prospects of Messrs. Greeley and Brown in Massachusetts to be good and daily improv ing, an t in the wuole country as msguificent. 1 have no doubt of their triumphant election by the people. Ido not say this because the wish is father lothe thought, but because my sources of information and a careful survey of the field so iustruct me.” Pardon or Kuki.ux Prisoners.—The President to-day ordered pirdons to be made out tor David Col lins Win.

The Dem ocratic party, if not demented, will, at Baltimore, nom inate Greeley and Brown. And il they do, or if they adjourn without making any nomination.

The Texas Cotton Crop— The Houston Union says that the repoits from Hie crops in all parts ot Texas are realty glorious The corn crop is unparallel ed. The cottou is magnificent everywhere, tiie worm having done no damage a* yet, and it will soon be too late lor them to hurt the crop. There will be more made than oan be gathered. Every other crop is equally fiue—potatoes, peas, beans, oats, rye, barley, wtieat, hay, fodder, pecaus. and the mast which fatten bog* without corn, is absolutely immense.
