Igfc, Our latest telegrams from the sent of war report no engagement be tween the hostile armies of Franco and Prussia, although ono is expected daily. Editorial Summary. Another aon of Ethiopia, Campbell, wants the Jury system revised, that is uegi oized. Bt Senator Wooten, a bill to appoint a Board of commissioners in each coun ty for county purposes. Tub Bill to pay each member S2OO was of course jumped at and passed, mm con. Tiik radicals had a meeting m Au. fcust.i on the IBtli inst. Bryant ad pressed them, and Mag'rath colored presided. . The Buliockites pitched into the for mer promiscuously, and the ex-Post master retorted with interest. On the whole they had a very general and pretty row before dispersing. Kirk and Holden are having it all heir own way in North Carolina. The most respectable citizens are ar •ested without warrant or renson, the iglit of h ibeaa corpus an mned militisfcis perpetrating all manner if outrages upon the people. Still all s qniot, mid it is confiJently believed hat the conservatives of the old North Jtato will triumph in the August elec ions. Tub State of Georgia has at length iy the final action of the Senate, been eubnitted into the Union. We a Iviso lovers if tin gridiron, and 1 the best government the world ever uw,” not to halloo until they are out if the woods/’ as this fureo of “restora ion ” has been so often repeated and lien ignored, that our paoplo fail to 1 make a note ’’ of such an every day incurrence, and dont caro a farthing vhether they arc in or out. Salt Peter Farrow says, it Jwill ruin he radical, party if they oppose the j’ull elections. Bullock telegraplied to Ulodgett at Washington to deteat the rcorgiu Bill in the Senate. This it is lectured assured the success of the neasure, as HoWui and deserted our Goar [in oarpot tuggers, and with the aid f Grant, the bill was put through at a ate hour. ...It is asserted, but lacks confirmation, l)at the Georgia Siamese twins, Bullock id Blodgett, have been forced asunder nd are now two lugubrious looking or ihans. Bullock it is said makes a virtue of Scesaity, and now concedes that an iction for members of congress for th the short and ioag terms, and for e Legislature, will take place on the th of November. Baku telegraphs to the True Georgian ■oin Washington, tlpit it is universally eknowlodged that the Georgia Bill as dopted, culls for general elections in fovetiiber. Tiie New Era however takes the op oaito gromi 1. Trie people have al sady decided this q icstion in the af r.n »tive. The wlytewashing committee make po ir out of it, in their etf irts to cle mse us filthy official robes of our. Express hjvernor. The min i.ity report fastens is guilt Upon huu like the sliirt of Nus us. Gen. Terry very kin lly consents that le Georgia legislature (so called) tall continue to sit and draw their per iein, and essay to m ike laws, until Scomber, albeit he romiins king and inter of the situation in the interval. That v.igub in 1 mischief m iker and lported mulatto Jackson, who claims i represent Randolph m the Legisla ire, was arrested and brought before ic mayor of Atlanta last week for mis -1 meaner. If he had his deserts there ould be another vacancy in the Iliuse. Tub E np :ror of France refuses to [•opt of any volunteer foreigners, as Beers, in his army. Multitudes of Americans Germans o seeking for a safe passage to the and country, that they may draw the vord for tlie “ vuter land.'’ The Linden Ti.ms and English ess generally, are very bitter in their muuciitions of France, and inti ate th it the least violation of Hoi ikJs neutrality, or any grave disaster i the Prussian arms, will unchain the irish lion against her old antagonist. Austria it is Slid sides with France, >1 II issia will probably help Prussia. From present appearances it is prob >lo that most of tho European powers ill bo dragged into the conflict, and « war bids fair to assume mammoth ■oporlions. Tn« notorious copper colored interlo £ from Randolph, Jackson, has intro iced a bill into the House for the sup ession of the clan of assassins called uKIIU.

The boll worm has made its ap* arance in Barbour Bounty, Ala, Sp y S the Columbus Enquirer. 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 isr Gold is quoted m New York at 120 J. So much for a foreign war. 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. S. Jones, of Griffin, Ga., sends the Star the following recipe which we doubt not is a good one : J bushel tomatoes, Jib. each, of all spice, cloves, black pepper, pulverised, 3fb. brown sugar, lib. of salt, lqt. of good Apple Vinegar, 3 onions, sliced, cayunne pepper to suit the taste. Boil three hours, stirring mb#of the time to prevent burning at the bottom. Then strain through a seive, bottle and cork tight. If prepared a§-..above, it will keep good for many yea r s. Tiie Election Next Fall.— The Con stitution states that Gov Bullock favors an election of the members of Congfess, and of the General Asssembly next,fall. The election will occur on the Bth day of November next. Two sets of Congress 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 the House are to he chosen, and also twenty three Senators. The outgoing Senators are Bradley, Henderson, Cor bitt, Smith, Jones, Rungerford, Griffin, Mathews, Higbee, Harris. Sherman, B -were, Stringer. Dunning. Merrill, and Dickey, Republicans, and Nesbit, \Voot en, McArthur, Holcomb, and Fain, Democrats. Two vacancies, in the 19th and 14th districts are to be filled. Eat’Ripe Fruit. —One of the oldest and best physicians in Connecticut con stantly recommended eating ripe fruit. If each, in its season is partaken of when fresh, there is little fear of the summer diseases that are 60 common in some sections, and which cause so much trouble and so much expense. Messrs, o.

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 riod, and the aged grandmother, are all cured by the use of our English Female Bitters, now prescribed and used bv physicians all over the country If you ar- troubled with Falling of the Wornb, attended with a sense of weight and bearing Uowl' pain in the back and side, and other at tendant evils, English Female Bitters will give entire relief. Those at the “turn of life,” mothers after confinement, and all others (male orientals) who are eonvalescents from any protracted or debit.tating complaint, who gain strength slow ly, and whose digestion is slow and imperfect, will find these Bitter-* the very thing their system demands. It gives a powerful ap petite. and as-ists digestion, arouses the liver, strengthens meulaliy and physically, and fills the whole system with pure crimson blood coursing through its ch annels COMMON JRjd-SIIJP KiiTEjta. 1 "" Empty Bitter Bottles, of various styles, can be found around almost every dwelling and cabin throughout the land. Tneir taste is pleasant, and are advertised, to cure almost every disease, while the manufacturers know they pos sess no medicinal properties whatever. They a- e so many disguises for exceedingly common, bev erages which do not, nor canuo* pessinly cure any one. Beware of these pleasant bitters in quart bottles, they contain a string for your vitals, a> and he who buys them carries a •‘toper's” into hi- house. One man who knows nothing about medicine, says bis big bo ties of common stuff will cure cl ills and fever, tbeumatism and consumption; anothe , whose bottle is very fancy, cures all impurities of the blood, makes old men young, casts out devils, restores sight to the blind, and numerous other miracles; while yet another, who pres lines every -nan a drunkard, proposes to cure colic, ingrowing nails, yellow fevei, heart disease and love-sick maidens 1 We know they make no such cures, we know the people at la>-gc are deceived and swindled, and ns \ps.desir* to ventilate these common humbugs, make the following chal lenge to one nnd nil : OdE HdiDilEi) DOtiitAdi That, o e teaspoontul of FEMALE Ml’ TEKS contains as much medicinal properties ag one bottle ot any of the p easantlv tasted commoo advertised bitters ol the day !
