from Prof. R. S. Newton, M. D., President of
the E. Medical College, city of New York, that
speaks in high terms of its curative properties,
and gives a special recommendation of Koskoo
to the practitioners or medicine. This is, we
believe, the first instance where such medicines
have been officially endorsed by the Faculty of

growing In public favor. It has already become
an institution ip the State, ami its annual com

W'e understand' that there is a large and in
teresting class to graduate. It is strange but
true, that a friend and trustee of the College,
living in Cuthbert. can barely claim a personal
acquaintance in the fcl&ss.
W'e have heard the question Asked and re
peated, Who is Mr. Langley, that is to preach
the annual sermon ? We can only say that our
information is that he is a Baptist Minister, of
unquestioned piety and integrity not only em
inently useful as a Cristian minister, but of fine
ability. We bespeak for him—-as. no jloiibt he
will have—a fine anj appreciative andience upon

The property of Andrew College—that is, tbe
Charter and privileges coafered by it, (he lot and
buildings, such furniture, instruments and apa
ratns as was left after tbe war—belong to tbe
Georgia Conference, now JNor.b and South
Georgia Conferences.
Dr. Hamilton came here in 1866, found tbe
property dilapidated, the college suspended, and
everything in a most unpromising condition.—
He Was willing to take it upon one fundamental
audition, that it was to be a non-sectarian school
so loug is he was at its head. The Methodist
denomination, represented by tbe Conference,
yielded this sine qua non, not witbont reluctance
•and murmuring in the ranks, particularly among
some of the old brethren.
Ibe college is now only rtominally under tbe
Conference, and only nominally under the Board
of Trustees, who are composed of men of differ
ent churches. The whole truth is and has been.
Hamilton is the head and ruler of the Institution,
and that without restraint from any power, tem
poral or ecetesiast teak He i8 the lessee »>t the
Conferences, holds their property and uses ii Lr
school and educational purposes, without the
payment ot rent, and only on condition to keep
the property in good repair, and to meet the
objections of the college, as to free scholarships.
it has required a large outlay to fit up the
rooms, and every department, and in making re-
p ifts. The payment Os teachers, stewards, ser
vants, clerks, and other employees, and the gen
eral expenses of the e-ttabliehraeut. have, as we
are Informed, about kept p ice with tbe large
gross income o( the institution, and all that
Hamilton has gotten out of it thus far, is an
honorable bat Very laborious living. That he
has not ibe funds to m ike tbe permiuent repairs
that are indispensable, or to nlaka the necessary
enlargement of the buildings, which tbe increas*
ing patronage seems irnperitively to demand.
The Georgia Conferences, with the large num
ber of poor, laborious itinerants, ami of super
aim ited and worn gut ministers; und ah impov
erished church, have no funis to spare-tbey
cannot refit or enlarge Andrew College. Hamil
ton can't do it. Tbe question now presented for
discussion and action is, will th o people do it?
With the prospect of tWo through lines of
railroad, connecting ns directly with thegriiine
ry of the North-west, and the Pacific coast, and
with Florida and Brunswick on the &outb and
8ou:b east, Cutlibert bids fair to be quite a rail
road and commercial centre. It behooves us to
look to our future as well as present. Hamilton
is appreciated all over the South. O.ber cora
rau ities, with more sagacity and less prejudice,
are bidding lor so extraordinary a genius as an
educator. We are not commissioned by Hamil
ton to speak for him, but venture to say that if
the people do not place the college upon a foot
ing te meet the demand created by bis reputa
tion. we stand a cbacce to lose him. and with
him the college. For it will be a cold track to
any who may attempt it# succeed him. The
question comes home t« every eitizen of Cuth
bert, and friend of education in this part of the
State, what snail we do?
Are the thousands of dollars disbursed among
merchaats, and traders, and shop keepers, worth
eetamiag? Is tiie praseuce of a large numlier
ot pweaud intellectual ladies, pupils and teach
ers—with their refitting influence upon ns all
worth anything? Is the large crowd ot intelli
gent vis tors, from all ptrts of the country—with
the elevating influence uDon mind and morals,
worth coui tfhg? Is it anything to Cuthbert, li> r
oieu and womea, her boys and girls ; anything
to society, and to the pleasures of life, to make
this a literary as wall as commercial centre ? ex
erting its merited influence in comm rce, in law,
and m dicine. in religion and in science ; eleva
ting the thoughts, refi ling the taste, cultivating
the morals of the people ?
Will it be nothing to our detriment to let
tliese railroads flank us, let the light of the col
lege go out. the churches go down, public spirit
depreciate, public morals relax ; and dying in
o’.d age leave oar children the heritage of hopes
ruined, opportunities neglected, and a world dark
and cheerless, for the want of public spirit in us
their progenitors? Let the people wake up.

The New Fire, Uo.ar*.sY.— flu great need of
an efficient and well equipped hook and Udder
company in Cuthbert has often been displayed
—very strikingly at the last fire. Through tbe
indomitable perseverenoe of some of our public
spirte and citizens, we are glad to state, the "Ready
Hook and Ladd :r Compauy" his been fnlly or
ganized with sixty efficient, reliable members,
and a good set of trusty officers. Some three
hundred dollars have already been subscribed
by our citizens for the equipment of the Com
pany, and we lea. n that several of our leading
busiuess men have attsftrel the Company that all
the necessary funds shatl be forthcoming.
With the exception -of our friends. Scott and
Allison—to whom the community are principally
indebted for the inauguration ot this commenda
ble movemeut—the company is maile up of stout,
abb-bodied colored men. The zeal displaced
by these people at the recent fire, assures us they
will ever be ready f< r the emet-g-rn’Cy.

Tlie views expressed in the Fol-
Imtltig article front the New Yotk j<mr»
nul of Commerce, have certainly great
force, and are worthy of consideration
at tlie hands of the Northern people :
It is now apparent that a cessation of
political unfriendliness between Northern
radicals and the South must precede the
establishment of harmonious relations
between tbe religious bodies of thesaaie
denominations* In tbe two sections. It
would be better If the bitter consumma
tion could take place first, and help on
the former. But the religious leaders
both North and South act as if they
thought otherwise, and we do not look
for a fraternization of Methodists or
Presbytetians until tlie way has been
prepared for it by a restoration of cor
diality among northerners and southern
ers, belonging to th me two sects, iu their
political relations The Methodist Epis
copal C inferences 8 -nth gave their vie .vs
on this subject recently with great po&i
liveness, Hnd now the Southern Presby
terian General Assembly take similar
ground of objection io present union
with northern Pi-e'shVterlatis in ev«h
stronger language of refus i!. Tlie dis
cushion of the differences on both sides
has done <»ne good thing at all events ;
it has developed the full extent of tbe
antipathies mutually felt, and, in the
case oft he Presbyterian brunches, has
made clearly known the real cause of
dissension between tbetn-“*atid that is
the mixing up of politics Wjth religion
in some of the northern Presliyteriati
churches. V> hed'ever the Presbyterian
Assembly of tfie North is ready to vote
against the expediency of commingling
religion witn polities, we doubt not tbe
southern Presbyterians will receive
them with open arras. The same is true
of the dissevered Methodists. But there
is little likelihood that this will be done
for some yours—probably riot until tlie
unkitidiy feelings of radical politics to
ward the South have ceased to make
themselves muni est in many northern
pulpits.”

How to Make let Last —As ice may
be a luxury not often in reach of all this
summer, it may be important to know
how to make a little lust a long lime.
Get a double pocket of strong woolen
cloth, have a space of two inches or so
between the inner and outer pockets,
and pack this space as full as possible
of feathers—hen’s featheis will do.—
With a pocket thus constructed, and
kept closely tied tit the mouth, a few

Wednesday last, by a negro in his em

ficulty some words passed between Cap
tain .-'parks and the negro, growing out
of the neglect of the latter to attend to
the stock. On Wednesday morning
the negro did not go to work at the
u*md hour, and sharp words again em
*ued, when the negro drew a pistol and
tired on th** Captain, the ball taking ef
fect in his hip and r .nging downward
After he fell the negro again tired but
missed him. A negro woman then
came to his assistance, raised him up
and supported him to the house. While
endeav..ring to reach the house the its
gro procured a double barrel gun and
fired twice more hitting with several
small shot, both Captain 8., and tbe
woman, but with no serious result. The
negro made hie escape and has not yet
been arrested

Synopsis of the Enforcement
Bilb
The unusual length of the "Synopsis of
the Enforcement Bill,” perhaps requires
an apology, but as ail are interested in
knowing what are the provisions ot the
most remarkable bill ever passed by any
deliberative body, wbioh would fill more
than a page of our paper, we have taken
the pains and labor to reduce it, to a
reasonable lenuth, that all interested
may read it. The substance of every
section of the bill is given in the synop
sia. : —Ettfauht News.
The lull text ot the odious bill f«r the
enforoenm-nt of the iSth Amendment is
published, but of too great a length to
burden our limited space. We therefore
give a synopsis, that those ot our readers
who are not already acquainted with its
provisions may see if in all is native
defoimity and hideoasness, and that it
is in unison with the obnoxious Amend
rnent which has been foisted by ‘delib
erate fraud in the Cohstitution.
