One Male and one Fetftale Col
lege-
Tho view* of our correspondent o*l.
Fielder, which were so carefully elabo
rated last week, and sustained by inter
esting statistical facts, should commend
themselves to all wl»o feel concerned for
the future prosperity of this city.
Two conclusions force themselves ir
resistibly upon every candid mind.
Ist. That it is impossible to equip
and put in successful operation both of
the female sminaries which have been
chartered, in the present condition of
monetary affairs; and
2d. That a first class male school or
college is now an indispensable necessity to
the education of our youth, and the
character and reputation of our town.
In reference to the first of these we
remark, that by the statements of Dr.
Hamilton himself, who lias labored like
a Hercules for liis school, Andrew Fe
male College with the undivided patron
age of all denominations, after an expe
riment of several years, is barely self
sustaining, while an appeal at this very
moment has been made to the public,
for funds to keep in proper repair the
buildings of that institution.
If this be true with no rival in the
field, advertisements without number,
and such a canvasser for patronage as
Dr. Hamilton has proved himself to be,
how would matters stand with two Col
leges in full blast, and the dividecj sup
port of the community meted out to
each? Does any one doubt that both
would dwindle and decline? Has not
th'is already befn demonstrated by pa 4
experienced And have .the peoplo the
means at present to effect the extensive
repairs needed for each of these semina
ries, and to procure besides, the appa
ratus and outfit which are essential to
thorough education ?
But neither of tho denominations
who have embarked in this enterprise,
wish to strike its flag y,i favor of its ri
val. This is but natural, nor should the
snerifice be demanded of either.
The present plan embraces the mu
tual surrender of all sectarian rights on
the part of each, and the inauguration of
a male and female school which shall be
catholic and representative in character,
and receive the support of all.
For this purpose, it is proposed to lease
or soli the property owned respectively
by the Methodist Conference and the
Baptist Association, and to raise a fund
by subscription or otherwise, which
shall be appropriated in equal propor*
tions to the equipment of one female and
ons malo institution, to bo managed by
trustees composed of nil the denomina
tions, and to be free from religious l ias.
As diese fouudations were primarily
designed for the public good, and not
as pecuniary investments, it is believed
as both Methodists and Baptists would
continue to enjoy their benefits, that
tho terms of u lease or sale would be
moderate and liberal in their nature.
The present is the auspicious period to
effect this consummation, because large
sums are needed even for the repairs of
each college, and neither organization
within itself has the ability to make the
necessary response.
Again, wo have never seen less of
sectarian acerbity \n our; community,
while ahomogeniety of feeling seems to
actuate all in view of the rising pros
pects of our city, and the necessity for
concert of thought and action upou all
matters of public moment.
Let us resolve then to unite heart and
soul in the movement for one female in
stitution of a high grade, which is abun*
dandy sufficient for the wants of this
wholo region of country.
Wo come now to the second, and not
least important branch of our subject—
to wit the urgent and immediate need of
a first class school or college, for the
boys and youth of South West Geor
gia.
It is a fact almost incredible to stran
gers, that with all its boasted educa
tional facilities, not even a village school
house is to be found in the city of Cutli.
bert. Several infant schools are taught
by very worthy ladies on their own prent >
ises, and Mr Edwards instructs liis male
pupils also in the apartments of a pri
vate dwelling. But no male academy
or public school house is to be found
within our limits. It is safe also to af
firm that in no city of the same preten
tious is the education of tho rising male
population, more neglected or defective.
How few of our sons comparatively,
receive liberal or collegiate courses of
instruction ? How few will be qualified
therefore to occupy places of trust and
honor in the land ?
The reason is obvious. The means cf
a general and thorough education are not
to bo found among us.
The cheek of the writer tingles with
shame at this confession, which is only
extorted that good may arise, on the same
principle that the physician applies the
scalpel remorselessly to save the life of
his patient.
Os what avail is material growth and
prosperity to any people, if the intellect ,
that omy immortal and ennobling prin
ciple of man, aside from tho soul, re
mains uncultivated, or shrouded in the
Cimmerian gloom of ignorance?
Have we any time to lose in the prem
ises ? Let us in the fir6t place resolve
then, with a fixeduess of purpose which
no obstacle can avert, that we will es
tablish a first class male academy or
college in our city, and provide suitable
accommodations for the same without
delay.
With this as a foregono conclusion,
now comes the proposition under dis
cussion, whether or not the site and im
provements of the Baptist College may
not bo secured by lease or purchase
for that purpose. Located almost in
the environs of the town, with ample
campus and well shaded grounds attach
ed, never failing and abundant springs
of pure water within bow shot, and not
a liquor shop or loafers stand within a
mile , what more desirable location
could be found ?
Nothing then remains but the exhibi*
lion of a spirit of compromise and mu
tual concession on the part of all the
denominations interested, seconded by
an enlightened and liberal public sup
port, to crown with the happiest success
this movement, which we regard as not
even inferior in importance to the con
struction ot either of our Railroads.
A commodious college edifice, well
officered, and properly equipped with
apparatus, and the modern appliances
for instruction in the sciences, would
form the capstone to the arch of our city’s
prosperity, and double its population
in ten years. No institution of the kind
is to be found in South West Georgia,
and it is safe to say with proper induce
meats 300 students could be gathered
at this point, so noted for its salubrity,
while the wealth and intelligence of this
whole region would naturally tend
hither and locate, to secure the ad van
tages of society and education, conjoined
with easy access to the rich cottou dis
tricts so near at hand.
But we can pursue this subjeut no
farther at present. Let us hope how
ever, that our enterprising citizens will
not delay that action which is so essen
tial to tbe welfare of their sons, and the
honor of our city.
Arrival of the Surveying Par
ty—The Line to Albany—The
Prospect*
The Surveying Party, thirteen in
number, engaged for some time past in
revising the line ofSurvey from Albany
to Eufaula, arrived here Wednesday,
and are encamped about]! three miles
from hadvthe pleasure of
a call J. ,J Prait, an in
telligent and practical Engineer, who
was years ago attached to tbe Mexican
Boundary Commission, and is familiar
with the whole line of the Southern Pa
ific Road, baling more than ouce made
the trip to San Diago, California, some
times on horse back, and often afoot.
It is the purpose of the Surveying
Party to make another revision of the
line to Albany, when the route will be
collected and permanently located. As
we have said before tbe probabilities in
cline to the adoption of the Cottou Hill
route, which appears to be more feasi
ble and practical, as well as economi
cal. It is estimated that tbe careful re
vision of the line surveyed and altera
tions made, will save the Company not
less than $60,000 to $75,000. At one
point the line runs under die South
Wetftetta Railroad at Hairison’s Mill;
runs down Tubenahnee
Creek; crosses the Chattahoochee about
a mile below the South Western Road
bridge ; and tomes into town, at or near
tbe B unswick and Vicksburg Depot.
The report that the Road would in
tersect the South Western Road at
Cuthbert, and merge into that portion
theuce to Eufaula, is without founda
tion and never had an existence save in
the discussion of that question in Cuth
beit arising from the natural desire of
that place for the arrangement, which
would advance the interests of that town.
The wish was simply the father to the
thought.
The Company many of the chief
stockholders residing in New York,
have ample means, and there is no doubt
that the Road to Albany will be built.
In fact, it is understood, that one con
tract has already been taken from Al
bany to Alapaha, about twenty miles,
and the balance of tbe line will soon be
iu responsible and efficient hands. -
Work will probably be commenced in
about two months. Nothing definite
has yet been done with regard to the
Eufaula end of the line, but we hope it
will be-to abb interest anil convenience
of tiie Company to have the work pro
gressing oq each end simultaneously.
The Surveying Party will remain
near Eufaula several days, and then re
turn to Albany on tbe work of revision,
They have been iD camp, acd in thefidd
running lines, and revising between Eu
faula and Albany, almost without inter,
ruption siDce March iast. uelore many
more months have rolled away their
rounds of time we hope to see their val
uable labors end in the fruitiftn of the
iron horse and train, daily annihilating
time and space between our city and
Albany, thence to the “city by the sea ”
Tho foregoing from tho Eufaula News,
loaves tho impression that contrary to
general usage, the Albany and Bruns
wick Railroad will leave an air line
route which would take it through our
city, and run by the way of Cotton Hill
I he question bad not been finally de
cided however, and it would be well for
our city authorities to ascertain what in
ducements will suffice to secure the con
nection with our city.
Just here in passing, it is proper also
to suggest that immediate steps be
taken to obtain through Capt. Tumlin,
our representative in the Legislature,
such a modification of the city charter
as will confer all the powers upon the
Mayor and Council, which are accorded
to municipal corporations generally.
We remarked above, that it wou'd
be contrary to general usage if another
route was selected. By this we moan,
that two leading features commonly
enter into the location of all Railroads.
Ist. That the line of route be as
etraight us possible ; and
2d. That populous centrce and rich
districts be touched, or permeated, when
ever practicable.
To the former of these conditions, we
would urge,.that Uutbbert is situated al
most precisely upon an air line to Eu
faula from Albany. To tho latter, that
our city, soon to be an important rail
road centre, and the seat of divers man
□factories, with an increasing popula
tion, offers large local inducements to
the projectors of the new road.
True, economy is the plea urged for
the deflection by Cotton Hill, but we
believe the local freights aud the in
crease of passengers by the -Cuthbeit
route, in a few years would reimburse
the company for the present additional
expenditure. Again, if this road is in
deed to be one of the links of the gieat
Southern Pacific highway, the air line
argument should possess great weight.
As remarked in the foregoing how
ever, we trust our city Council will take
steps to ascertain what conditions are
necessary, to bring the road through our
town.
Our people should be prepared to re
spond liberally to any demand, which
concerns so nearly the future prosperity
of our beofltiful city

Letter from J. K. Barnum.
We find the following letter, froi
one of the Directors of the Bainbridgf,
Cuthbert and Columbus Railroad, ip
the Lumpkin Telegraph, of last week :j
Columbus, Ga., July 3. 1870. I
Messrs. Editors :—lt may be gratifying
to the people of Lumpkin and Stewarf.
to know that the Boifd of Directors <jf
the 8., C. & 0. R. R. have made com
plete arrangements and entered intp
contract with responsible parties fir
building, equipiug and running a fi&g,
class Railroad, complete from Bain-j
bridge to Cuthbert. by the first ff Jan-, ;
uary, 1871, and it only remains for the
people of Lumpkin and Stewart to utjV
whether the road shall go to that p«>iuV
or not. I have always felt" that with
tiie first 20 mi es secured, tlie load
would be a success,
tbe prediction of croakers to the contra
ry, and with sixty five miles secured,
without one cent eost to the people of
Stewart, surely they will at once take"
steps to have tbe work from Cuthbeft to
Lumpkin placed under contract by tins
fall, and thereby have the road built at
an early day in the coming year. I feel
authorized in saying that if the people
will make a subscription of s2oo,f)t||,
and pay half of it down inibsA tliisHuiPj
the road will be located $6 Lumpkin
and the work placed unoft contract.
This. I believe, is the nfily plan
which you can get the road, as it is im
possible to fix up any sort of a county
tax or that would be csn-‘
stitutiofial, utpi therefore let the people
rally to thitJ’jflun, and make a unirtrt
and deterg&yjd effort for the
strong pull, and a pull together willgW
it. Tiie advantages are surely too iy|j®
to be mistaken, and too l&fteilJt^M
through your columns to muM
this article, Bud certainly now
will deny that the neessitfcrs of Me-
County and Town demand a road, as
well as the vast commercial benefits
be derived from the great enterprise.
Therefore would it not be well to fix
upon a duy, call all the pe >ple together
and let them take action ! action !
“Puturß Sales’’ of Cotton-
A correspondent of the Mobile Reg
ister has some sensible suggestions for
planters who have cotton on band.—
He suggests that there is at present,
only about 35,000 bales of cotton helj
in the ciiy ot New York, and, strange
as it may appear, tbe gamblers in fu
ture sales have "sold for future de
livery, several hundred thousand bale:*
of which 50,000 to 60,000 aie to be
livered to spinners in the month of June,
The writer asks: How do these men
expet to deliver 500,000 bales of cotton
out of a stock ol only hull that quantity
in the city of New York ? W by, simp
ly by getting up a panic in the market,
without the least foundation for it, for
the purpose of forcing the price down
in the Southern ports, so as to enabie,
them to fill their contracts to the sacri
fice o*’ the planters. The factors and
planters have it cornpletely in their pow
er to withho and nine tenths of the cotton
now in market from sale, for one or two
months, and thus force these men who
are gambling “in futures,’’ and selling
properly months in advance which they
don’t own, to pay prices to fill their con
tracts which will ruin the last ono of
them. The spinners have very light
stocks on hand, and are relying on pur
chases they have made from these deal
ers in “futures’’ to meet their monthly
demands for manufacturing purposes.—
Suppose the factors and planters re
fuse to submit (for a few weeks only) to
tiie present prices, then how can tii§
gamblers comply with their contracts to
the spinners ? and in that case, what
are the spinners to do ? If there is any
concert of action among the cotton fae-,
tors, and the ""(T" jr l>’i
on them for awhile, so as to better einr
ble them to hold firin'y for one month,
or less time, it wuuld have the inevita*
ble effect to put cotton up three or four
cents per pound ; and it would have the
additiouai effect of killing off those “fu
ture” gambleis for a long time to come,
for they would be buried so deep under
the rubbish, caused bji the toppling fa
brics they have reared alcove their houds,
that they would not be'liedrd of as
“speculators in balance of
their lives. -sc
Presidential Caxdidatb. —At the Tam
many Hall Fourth of July celebration,
New York, Governor Hoffman was for
mally nominated as Tammany Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency in
1872. While it is too early to nominate
candidates for themext Presidential race,
all must agaee that Governor Huffman
would make the must worthy candidate.
His high persona? eharacte., his abili
ties, executive talents, and above all his
freedom from “Ring” influence are very
strong recommendations in his favor. —
Withal he is one of the most popular
men in the country, and deservedly so.
The Democratic party might do so much
worse than take John T. Hoffman for
their Presidential candidate.
Recipb for Making Catsup. — Mrs. J.

3fb. brown sugar, lib. of salt, lqt. of

cayunne pepper to suit the taste. Boil

Tiie Election Next Fall.— The Con

The election will occur on the Bth day

men will have to be elected—one for the
short term ending March 4th, 1871, and
one for the succeeding long term. One
hundred and twenty five members of

twenty three Senators. The outgoing
Senators are Bradley, Henderson, Cor

SICKNESS, PAIN AND DEATH
Legitimately result as penalties for violations
of natural laws, from which none escape.
The faded cheek, the pale and wan features,
the dull eye, the clouded intellect, ihe deep

the dejected brow, the tottering gait, all indi

that ‘’procrastination is the thief of time.” all
intelligent beings apply for some remedy as
soon as circumstances permit; while those wl o
do not act upon the principle that ’“delays are

and pay more money.
Thousands of mothers and daughters, in all

time. The Bitters at once arouses, strengthens
and restores the womb to its natural condition,
removing obstruction!*, relieving pain and reg
ulating the monthly period. Yonder stands
a pale, feeble and languid girl, just bursting into
womanhood ; she is the pride of all, but bark 1
silently steals a pickle, eats chalk, or a slate
pencil: no appetite for food ; she turns with a
dull eye and seeks solitude; her eye no longer

ringing through the air; ehe mopes about with
bloodl.ws lips and gums, with headache, pal
pitation, coiist.ipation, swimming of the head,
cold feet and hands, melancholy ; she has
a coated tongue, offensive breath, and a
host of other evils too numerous to mention.
When neglected all these symptoms become
aggravated, there is sick stomachs, heartburn
a dark line settles under the eyes, the legs and
ankles are swollen, the hair loses its gloss and
falls off. there is brightness and splitting of the

are magnetic in such complaints. Surely no
mother will postpone and delay this duty until
DEATH IS AT THE DOGA-
In ati these conspiamts the system evidently
shows a wart of red blood, and a.r. ChurbiH,
in his work on diseases of Females, says:
“Bearing iu mind that the blood is remarkably
deficient in red corpuscles, and the known
property of iron to correct this condition, theo
ry suggests it as the most to be relied on, the
b'-8t ot which is the Citrate.’’ Citrate of Iron
enters largely into the composition of Female
Bitters, combined with powetful vegetable
tonics of rare qualities.
Am mg the mountains of Tennessee and the
pinny woods of Mississippi, is found a certain
'hard and flinty root, which has been iD seer and
use by some old midwives for many years, pos
sessing magic powers in legu atiug and restor
ii g all f mnl :s suffering with any affection of
the womb. This rout we have obtained, gave
it a fair test in otfr piactice and it is now one
of the principle ingredients in these Bitters.
Other powerful uterine and general tonics also
enter into its composition. We also add Lep
tandra or Black root, sufficient to act upon the
ii vet and keep the bowels open.
BLOOMING YOUNG GIRLS,
Middle-aged matrons, those at die c meal pe
