The classes were closely criticisedby'tbe teach er and those requested to do so by lnm. Mri J. T. Goode, of Macon, Ga„ questioned those in the higher branches, and the students folly proved by the knowledge of those important studies they possessed that they fully apprecia ted the golden season of youth as. the time to study. The examination continued until five o’clock p. m., when the welcome words, “the exercises for the day are over" struck the ears of all the pupils with a gleasome sound. Mr. J. T. Goode was again introduced, who, with his usual grace and politeness, stepped forth and addressed the audience upon, the sub ject of education. Ably did he defend that high duty of every American citizen. “Edu cate your children and raise them above the negro and the scalawag.” He delineated in vivid colors the advantages to be derived in having children trained and educated by com petent teachers. At the close of the address by Mr. G., pre parations were rapidly made for the exhibition and for the speeches. Every boy, from lire way he spoke, declared that Mr. W. was a mas ter of the power to teach elocution. The scenes of the exhibition were well selected, ably acted, and drew from the . hearts of all present the merited reward of praise. We are satisfied, that if the school is kept in the present trim, and in such good hands as its present teacher, it will prosper, and the day is not far distant when some great man will look back to that old house and pay it due homage as his proud Alma Mater. At 11 o’clock everything concluded; and soon all were wending their way homeward, fully sat isfied with the day’s entertainment. Vmi. [Written for the Macon Telejraph. Spain.

A Rustic in Atlanta—Crops in Craw ford. Crawford County, Gi.,) July 23, 1869. f Editors Telegraph : Having, on a recent trip up the country, sojourned four or five days in and around the “Gate City,” I will endeavor to present you with a few uninteresting items I culled during that time. I am au unsophisti cated rustic, you understand, haven’t much idea of city methods of doing business, nor of the innumerable ways the inhabitants of these places “take in”. country crackers ; therefore didn't push myself in amongst the “big folks” in order to obtain the opinion of the Hon orable Mr. This, or the renowned Mr. That, concerning “ questions of vital importance, eto., fearing that I might get into deep water. It’s true I did peep in at the door of “ His Excellency,” but didn’t ask him any questions abont how the affairs of the State stood; nor if he thought there was a probability of Mg fingering any more of the State money, for his own peculiar, particular purposes, as I have heard people say he has done—do you reckon that was so sure enough ? And then I saw C. J. Brown, or somebody they said wash©; but Til tell you he didn’t look smart much—and I'm told Joe Brown is mighty smart. I reckon my informant must have been mistaken. The man he pointed at looked sleepy out of his eyes, and didn’t seem bright much, anyhow. Do you reckon it was Mr. Brown ? • That Opera House I’ve heard so much talk abont is aright smart house, a sight larger and finer than I expected; still thore's lots of pur poses it’s put to—it ought to be large ; and it ought to be fine too, as to that matter, to agree with all the men that at times inhabit it. The people around and in Atlanta entertain the idea that their city is twice as large as ours! (I sav ours—I don't live in any city, but claim Macon, of course.) How is this ? There's cer tainly no truth in their oft-repeated assertions, or I could have seen more of the sign than I did. It is true, I confess, that Atlanta has been, and is still building up with almost unparalleled rapiditv; still, I can't reconcile myself to the belief that it has so far exceeded our little vil lage in growth as not only to catch up with it, but actually to double it I have always been of the opinion that Macon was about twice as large as it—that is, contained about twice as many inhabitants. I know one thing— tow “ excels theirs in beauty both of situation and construction as much as theirs possibly can oure iu the amount of popula«ion. Flease give, Messrs. Editors, your idea® of the Comparative strength—that is, the n«mber of inhabitants of the two places, as L for one, would like to • /*\ aL _ -oirmlA nf Atlfl complication, which promises to thwart suc cessfully the hitherto almest inevitable election of the Duke of Montpensier as rnler of Spain. All the secret wishes and sympathies of the Emperor, and especially the Empress Eugenie, who actually dread to see a descendant of Loins Philippe wear the Spanish crown, were already enlisted in favor of the Count of Monte molin. It is not even improbable that the ap pearance of the Pretender is favorably looked npon by one or another of the present rulers in Madrid; for it is known that General Prjp, after the failure of his last insurrection, made compromise with Cabrera, the late General of Don Carlos, both parties agreeing to defend the cause of the eldest son of Don Juan, npon whom all claims had descended, if he would swear to uphold the Constitution of 1837 or 1856. It is true that the recent events have tom that compact; but, as Prim has played a conspicuous part in bringing abont the adjourn ment until October, for the election of a king, while he is just as well opposed to the Duke of Montpensier as to a Republic, the inference may not be quite groundless that he favors se cretly the pretensions of the heir of Don Carlos.

Editors: Permit me to Occupy a space in your columns sufficient to say something of Cuthbert, Randolph county. This communication is written for the benefit • of those who, like myself, know or knew noth ing of this place until it was visited by me a few days since. ■- It is not a little cross-road village, bat noted for all that I have to say about it Cntobert is twenty-five miles distant ’ from Eufatda, on toe Southwestern Railroad, and con tains a population of 3500 inhabitants. It is de cidedly healthy. The M. D’s have decided that it is distressingly so. There is no local cause for any oftoe various types of fever or chills, that afflict the human family. The city is high’ above and far 1 away from swamps, creeks and ouoxvv*a ih a Rorrotmdings remind ' me much of my old native State, Vlrgnm^ ««*i I would as soon risk my'health in its corpora tion as I would on the Blue Ridge. Everything about town pleases the eye. The church build ings are what we may call fine and spacious, built in toe Doric style. Great-neatness and taste characterize toe dwellings—which are nearly all of spotless white, and shririking.coyly under tbe shelter of umbrageons oaks, or peeping out' amid gay', flowers and verdant shrubbery, look like blush ing aud timid brides in their wedding toilettes. In the course of my walk I could not forego the pleasure of calling on a valued friend and acquaintance, the Rev. Dr. A. L Hamilton, President of Andrew Female College. \The Andrew Female College building is ft spa cious and imposing structure, with ample room to accommodate three hundred pupils. Every nook and-corher of the building and its sur roundings is neat and comfortable. Dr. Hamil ton is the presiding genius there, and you need have no doubt of toe correctness cf my-descrip- .”■> tion. I found the Doctor in his office, busy as usual. He was folding and preparing for mailing to friends and patrons, an address to the people of Georgia, relating to the Andrew Female College; also toe beautiful annual offering, a finely exe cuted catalogue that gives a truly gratifying his tory of the success of the College. The Doctor received me cordially with a hearty shake of toe hand, and with a God bless you, with a smile playing over toe face which made me feel welcome and at home. The Doc tor treated me not only cordially but substan tially. Nor can I so far forget myself as not to acknowledge that his lovely wife contributed her fell share in all I enjoyed at their beautiful aud well-filled table, as well as in social oon verse- This place has thirty large and well-filled stores, one printing press that publishes the Cuthbert Appeal, a high-toned and handsome sheet, edited with mnen ability by CoL H. H. Jones, who was abeent, as I understand, or I should have made his acquaintance. There is a cotton factory in Cuthbert with many operatives, turning ont daily, fabrics of of the best quality and description; and anoth er factory and woolen mill,- and grist mill is be ing erected, and I understand other manufac turing establishments are rapidly springing into existence. There is the large and comtnodions railroad depot, not without its attractions. It is quite a handsome building, with huge proportions.

We are advised by a .special correspondent that a most unfortunate occurrence took place, in Crawfordville on Saturday. The faots, as de tailed by our correspondent, are: Mr. Columbus Reese came to the village in the afternoon, (toe same man who was tried soon after toe war at Washington, Wilkes county, by a court martial, for killing a negro,) and began to drink, as is his custom. It was not long before be began a quarrel with Mr. Thomas Edwards, a quiet, peaceable man, though in toe habit of drinking sometimes; yet he was never, known to injure . any one, and was much-thought of in the com munity. - The quarrel continued for a few mo ments, when Edwards, turning to walk away, Reese threatened to shoot him, having a drawn, pistol in his hand. Edwards was unarmed’and had made no threats or any demonstrations. When the threat was made he (Edwards) f canted Reese, opening his shirt, and, as a brave-man will do, told him to shoot. Reese, standing in five feet, shot, toe ball entering Edwards’ breast, near toe heart. Edwards fell upon toe ground, and in a few moments had breathed his last. Reese remained in town for some hours, walk ing the streets and threatening to kill any one who attempted to arrest him.
