The largely increased amonnt for tuition the past
ir, whieh la donble that of previous
year, whieh is doable that ol previous years, is the
effect of a law passed by the legislature of 1957, al
lowing Teachers the same price for instructing chil
dren entitled to participate in the 8chool Fond, as
they charged to paying patrons. The price hereto
fore allowed and paid, was Three Dollars per Quar
ter; most oftheTeacbenavaiiingthemselresofthe
privilege allowed them by the law, charged from
Four to Eight Dollars.
There are no doubt soma instances (if the dlsori
mi nation could property be made) where it would
be judicious to pay the foil prioe ; but as a general
thing, we regard the law as unwise and oppressive
ly burdensome to the County, in its operation, and
should be repealed.
In examination of the accounts for tuition, we no
ticed that the Ordinary had (in many instances,
where he had paid part of an aooount,) taken reoei;
on a separate slip of paper. This practice, we thin!
should he discontinued, and the entries of all pa;
meats made on the original bill, and we would r
epectfully suggest to that officer the propriety of
doing so in future
The books pertaining to the effioe of the Ordinary
are kept in the best manner—affording to all having
business in the office, promptitude and despatch.

Another Terrible Tragedy.
Yesterday morning early, the quiet of our town
was thrown into considerable excitement by the
reported murder of a wife by ber husband, a few
miles from this place, the particulars of which are
reported as follows:
On yesterday morning, a little before daylight,
Mr. George Crutchfield, a citizen of this county,
who resides some eight or nine miles from this
place, and who Is thought at times, to be insane,
called on some of bis fervanU to get up, feed,
light fires, Ac., which they did. Uis wife, Mrs.
Martha M. Crutchfield, being; awake at the time,
also told a negro girl, who was in the room to light
a fire in her room, and dosed off to sleep again,
leaving ber husband, sitting np dressing himself.
He then, no doubt, lieing tempted by the devil, or
dered tho servant girl to get the matches and light
a lamp which was standing oil a table in the par
lor, wbieh order she obeyed. Mr. C. then got his

If he comes before the Milledgeville Convention

it and take the consequences. It will constitute
in Georgia a “combined opposition" on which
the Reporter and his colleagues sometimes be
come eloquent—a sort of drag-net production of
all fish and ficsli and none-of the “good red
herring.” The forces of the land and of the
sea will respectively correspond to, typify and
emblemise each other. The great poet says:
"There be land rats and water rats;" and so
there lie “sea-attorneys,” as the sailors call the
sharks—a hungry and voracious set—never con
tent with empty maws; and there be spouters
and blowers on land as well as sea; the scuttle

propriety, then, of modifying- the title under
which it was called and acted, was so apparent
that it seems to have been changed by common
consent The sum of its action wc announced
in the lust Telegraph, and it adjourned after a
session of five days (the Secretary says, “a labo
rious se-don”), to meet in Atlanta, on the second
Monday in November, 1860. Of the delegates
in attendance, there were forty-five from Missis
sippi; eleven from South Carolina; five from
Louisiana; four from Tennessee; two from Geor
gia ; one from Alabama; one from Florida; one
from Texas; and a man from Kanzas happen
ing to be present, was, by a vote of the Conven
tion, made a delegate from that bleeding free-soil
Territory. Among the States where it has been
held, Tennessee bore off the laurels—she sent
four delegates, while Georgia sent but two; and
.Uabama, the scene of its latest labors, dwindled
down to one. These are somewhat remarkable
facts—showing, we infer, no very lively sense
on the part of these States, of the practical value
and importance of the Convention. AY ill it sur
vive the next appointment ? AA'hy not ? AVe
see no other objection than this: that if the time
shall come when a political Convention oT the
Southern States shall be necessary, such a body
may stand prejudiced in public estimation by
the unimportant character and results of so
many gatherings under that name. This aside,
they might be kept up, in perpetuity, to devel-
ope nascent oratory and statesmanship—to grat
ify an innocent ambition—amuse the boys and
exercise their gifts—in short, to serve among,
these Southern States of America, in the way
of mental training, the same purpose the Olym
pic Games did to the bones and sinews of An
cient Greece. AA'hy not? Locate the Conven
tion somewhere in a healthy region, near the
Springs, and let the boys meet there every sum
mer and spout and drink chalybeate or sulphur
by turns, till they feel better, and hare display
ed all that's iu them. In this way, we should
have a new crop cf young orators and statesmen
with every summer's crop of frogs; and a lively,
agile, sonorous set of chaps would they be, with
all their intellectual brawn and muscle brought
into free and perfect developement by violent
controversial exercise. AA'ho will perfect the ■
idea?

Linton Stephens of Sparta, has been appoint
ed to fill the vacancy on tbe Supreme Bench,
occasioned by the resignation of Judge J.
McDonald.
Mr. Stephens b a brother of the “ Great Com
moner,*’ and enjoys a high reputation as a Law
yer in the section of the State where he has
practised. He is a young man for the position
which he lias been called to fill but he has the
ability to sustain himself and if he remains on
the Bcndi, we have no doubt will make an ac
ceptable Judge.

place to say, that it will require the most active
exertions of the friends of the Supreme Court
to sustain it As an institution, it has never
been popular wijh the masses, and if the Lcgis-
kture should adopt the recommendation of one
or two of our Grand Juries aiul submit tlie
question of Court or no Court to the people, it
would be abolished l>y a very krge majority.
Tlie appointment of Air. Stephens will strength
en the Court in the middle and eastern part of
tbe State. Judge Benning’g term expires in
November, so that the next Legislature will
elect two Judges and we have heard it rumor

Officers and Senator’s place.

Tlie French Emperor,
Has given some very fair samples of the
Napoleonic in his speeches and communica
tions, the best one of which is perhaps his ad
dress to the “Corps Legislatif.’’ the conclusion
of which we copy below. It is as pithy and
sententious as could be desired. Hut the last
aud most perilous attempt at imitation has
come, when he puts himself at the head of the
French armies and leads them to battle. No
ordinary success will here serve the turn of
the nephew of bis ancle. He most achieve
something worthy of a Bonaparte or ruin the
prestige of his name and position. The world
will hold its breath in the supense of an eager
curiosity. AA'e will venture no prediction, but
this may be said: the press denied him even fair
abilities when he assumed the Presidency. He
was universally characterised as dull—even
stupid- After the Coup d ’etat the newspa
pers were willing to gllpw him a little more
sense at the expense of integrity, but they
insisted that be was urged on less by a saga
cious ambition than by an insane notion of
destiny, and that be would suffer for his te
merity by revolution or gssassipqtjop in tlie
course of a few months. Tbe lapse of ten
years, however, finds him more firmly seated
on the throne after a career of acknowledged
boldness and success, during which be bas cer
tainly elevated France to tbe rank of tbe first
power of Europe. It is too Into n««r to
his consummate executive ability. It bas to

The advantages of our Rail Roads are strong
ly set forth in the transportation of a few bar
rels of this Syrup from Bainbriilge to this place.
The barrels average* 40 gallons, and the average
weight is 480 pounds to the barrel. The freight
by wagons from Bainbridge to Albany (60 miles
at 75 cts. per huntl, the usual price), was $-8,60
per barrel, and the freight by railroad from Al
bany to this place, 107 miles, was §1,48 perbbL
Ifthe link of Road from Albany to Bainbridge
were completed, this Syrup could be laid down
here at 30 cents per gallon—allowing the plan
ter 25 cents per gallon for growing it. At this
price, Middle and Upper Georgia and Tennessee
would be the consumers, and a ready market
opened for this valuable product.
The Southern belt of our State, for a width
of sixty to seventy-five miles, seems to be well
adapted for the culture of the Sugar Cane, and
the Planters for some years have made their
own supplies of sugar and syrup. AYhen South
ern Georgia is developed by the Railroads now
in progress of construction, there Ls no estimat
ing the value of its products.
But one of the important features called to
mind, in noticing this shipment of Syrup, is the
atnount of freight it will yield to the Railroads
—as compared with other products. The amount
of freight paid to Railroads from land producing
wheat (at fifteen bushels per acre), would be
about six hundred pounds to an acre of land
cultivated; and in cotton (at half a bale to the
acre), the freight would be two hundred and
fifty pounds — but in Syrup (at ten barrels to
the acre), the freight paid to Railroads for eveiy
acre in cultivation, would he four thousand eight
hundred pounds; or nineteen pounds in Syrup
to one pound in Cotton, for every acre in culti
vation. It is a matter of some surprise that the
County of Decatur, being one among the weal
thiest in the State, has not looked to the import
ance of constructing this link of Railroad from
Bainbridge to Albany.
AYc can now see, in this article of Syrup, a
very important item of freight for our Macon
and Brunswick R. R., and which had never
been noticed or calculated upon. The main
trunk Railroad, which sweeps across tlie State
from Bainbridge to the Initkl Point, will convey
this rich product of the soil over its line to the
Initial Point; there it will be received by the
Macon A Brunswick R. R.. and conveyed here
—thus opening a lino of interchange of com
modities between the Northern and Southern
portions of the State

“ AYhen the torrent of fire precipitated itself into

than when these antagonistic elements met in dead
