The Geor gia Military Institute rc-estahli-hed in either of the above mentioned cities will be the means not only of making soldiers for Georgia, but of adding a new educational feature to the curric ulum of tin University of Georgia, that of ph- sical education, made pi r- t'ect by a iborouglt course of lectures j;, publicans who refuse to vote with on ‘Hygiene,’ from the* Prof'estHr in' the lugroce ; Pledger, who represents that Chair.

In an interview with a reporter of the Brooklyn Eagle, Major GeorgeT. Barnes says that the prospects are that the Democrats of Georgia will have to hire somebody to vote for Ga. field. And it does seem so. The Republican party is now divided into iitr.v tactions in Georgia: Mr. Nor --cross and bis thirty thousand white DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.

This move is eminently practic.'.l and in the proj>cr direction, rclli ding j>n at i redit u|>oii the brains and bnsitn ss capacity of the board now in si ssion. iTt t n \ i7V:itic ation True cdi c iti"ii consists in the de- velopinciit nr evolution of the mind, the nun si nature and the physical man. The frsl is now illustrated in thecui riculutn of the University. The second is developed through precept and example from the mother’s knee, and through the clerical and secular schools. The third and last is devels oped by the military exercises, which are t ow a portion of the course in onr University. These exercises should not be conrideiod as only a means ot making sold ers, but by regular exer cise to give limith, strength and grace to the student. Teaching him how to carry liinisolt, how to walk, how to salute bis superiors, how to develop his cheat by the manual of arms, and how to sustain his health and strength by the daily military evolutions. To perfect this idea let the Honorable Board now in session take into con- sbleralion the appointment ot a Corns raandant and Inspector of Cadets, ot the parent institution in Athens, and of all the branch colleges, Dahlonega, Cnthben, Thomasville and Milledge- ville. A hoy who is a physical wreck from want ol a thorough physical ed- ubalion, is at the hour of his graduq- j tidjn totally unfit for the laborious du- liS, which attend him in the great baflle of life u[Kin which he then en* ters. One officer can attend ail of the Colleges, and his salary can he secured by a very small annual as st ssmeut Upon eacb strident. We beg a consideration of 'bis subject by the Board of Trustees at their present session. As tin mind is trained and developed day after day, by regular lectures and recitations, so the body, (the ca-kct ol this wonderful jewel,) will he de veloped into health and strength, and the great and important (ruths of ‘Sanitary law’ will he impressed upon the student who is gradually develop ing into manhood. The University Battalion and the Alla ns Guards both need an arnney and gymnasium. If the Trustees wiil not give one to the former alone, let the Local Boaid of Tru-tecs, the Chancellor, Faculty and citizens ot Alliens all combine to secure a drill room and gymnasium, as e<>mt pnqierty for University Battalion and Athens Guards.
