An Appeal. To the people of Georgia; On the 25th ult., the Lumpkin Masonic Fe male College was totally destroyed by fire. The building was erected in 1853 and cost $12,000. It bad been the pride^and ornament of our towu lor years, and now when we are im poverished it is swept away. To hear of its destruction will sudden the hearts Of many ladies of Georgia who were educated at this college and will bring a pang ol grief to the parent who is indebted to this institution for the training of bis children. We wish to rebuild, but not such an ex pensive edifice, and regret that our community is not able to even do this. We ask for contributions to aid us, and we believe that our sp peal will not be in vuin.

Atlanta, April 8.—It is well known that then is s*»on to be held in London a kind of a World’s Sun day school Convention in connection with the “Raikes Centennial,” Since the days of her establishment as a colony by Oglethorpe, Georgia has been conspicuous for her Sunday- school enterprises. It is very much desired tha' she be represented at London. This is thereiure to give notice to the Sunday-school workers of Gt-orgia that the executivi com- mi'teeof the fitatI*association is ready to make appointments of delegates. Those ;ho desire to go as such will address their applications at once to the secretary A l the association.

If than, with tbe ex ceptiooally favwrable eircumetaooes of the pa«t year, little money wee made, what can we rationally expect this year, when the pnoe we shall get tor our ootton will almost oer taitily fall ooder a largely ioortaard production, and when the ootl of every article that we need, and mtiat have, has alrecdy advanced from 15 to 50 |ier cent ? We may ask: “How do you know that the price of cotton will fall ?" We answer, wc do not know positively, of course; but we do know that prices of every com modity are regulated by tbe uovary ing law of supply and demand, aud that whenever the supply of any ar ticle exoeeds the demand, the price of that article decreases, it may' be, far below the coat of production. Tbe political outlook in the Old World and in our own country this year is not so perfectly serene as to enoou r- arge speculative industry.

But if tbe present indi cations pointing to a wide extension of the area alloted to cotton are cor rect, we cannot refrain, while there is yet time, from urging our farmer friends to look well before they leap, and at least to ask themselves whai will be their condition next Christ mas should tbe price of cotton full much below the present quotations, when they are called on to settle with their merchants for the supplies which they purchased on credit.du- ring tbe year. 2.
