THE APPEAL. J. P. SAWTELL, ELAM CHRISTIAN, EDITORS AN II PROPRIETORS. ' CUTHBERT: FRIDAY, August 18, |B^. Atlanta is already beginning to talk about next winter’s araus - ment. Rkv. A. T. lias been called by tbe"Hw*wd ttnptist«bwrb in Atlanta—salary 8 *,m, * , Gorman, tlfe Ta’.botton Standard man, is still running ’round after the prettiest girl. We are looking l for him to take t o poetry s(X)ii —and then—you “ kno-w how it is yourself.” llon John C. Breckinridge has been selected to deliver the oration at the opening of the industrial As sociation of Gorgia, at Savannah* in November next. Mils. Valla ndigiiam died in Cumberland, Maryland, last Satur day morning, no doubt from grief at the loss of her husband. Georgia is said to have twenty one colleges ; New Hampshire oncj Connecticut three; Delovy lire two ; Maine four, etc. Even the State of New York has only six more col leges than Georgia 1 Ex-Gov. Brown stated in a speedy, before the State Agricultural Con vention at Home, on Thursday, that 33,000 bales of bay bad been imported from the West, over the Western and Atlantic Hailroad, alone, within the last six months. Gov. Bullock has issued an or der suspending the issuing of exe cutions against u tire turned wild lands, until the meeting of the next Legislature. Rev. Thos. L. an ofil citi zen of Dawson, died last whek, ttged 00 years. The Columbus papers talk as if they were in earnest about building the Columbus and Albany Railroad. Some people very knowingly assert it to be a hoax. 1 Dawson is elated with the idea— real estate i3 looking up—the Jour nal has got another “devil,” they are going to have anew jail, sever al new gates are being swung, etc. Wo are glad of it; will be glad to have sueli a live place in the suburbs of our city. Cincinnati is greatly agitated just now on the Sunday question The clergy and their supporters in sist upon a repeal ot the municipal ordinances which permit the open ing of beer gardens and similar pla ces on that day, \ybile the anti-Sab batarians as strongly urge an exten sion of the privilege to other places of amusement. Tile Griffin Star says a red faced Yankee looking chap, apparently eighteen or nineteen years of age, who called himself Capt John Bent, was perambulating the vicinity ot Attapulgus the first part of this week insuring the lives of all the darkies he could dupe for the very moderate sum of s‘2 50 per annum. The Dalton Citizen Bays : ‘‘The heavy shipments of wheat from the West have been the cause of intro ducing anew mode of shipping- the same by bulk or loose in the bars, which is a saving of about six cents on the bushel, the cost of thaspeks. And behold there arose from the dark domains of hell a cry for,more drunkards, more homeless widows and hungry, ragged orphans, more murderers, more thieves, more vag abonds on the earth ! The devil de mantled recruits for his army ; and, 10, the humane {?) city fathers of Atlanta lend a listening ear, aud alter the city ordinances so as to allow the whiskey shops to keep open till twelve o’clock at night. Judge Schley’s speech on home made fertilizers is said to have been one of the ablest speeches made in the Convention. On Thursday the Agricultural College scrip question was discuss ed all the morning sessiqp by Gov. Brown, on the part of the &tate University Alumni, Col. MeKinly in behalf of Milledgcville, and Hon W. P. Price in behalf of Dahlonegn. The discussion was very warm.— There is a strong feeling in favor of locating the college at Athens. The whole question was referred to the Executive Committee, to report at the next meeting a scheme for the proper disposal of the matter. Cotton. —Cotton tends down ward again. Sixteen cents was the highest for the best in Macon yes terday. In New York quiet and steady at 18 1-4. Atlanta Constitution. —Friend Avery, the versatile editor of this live paper, is now on a tour North, and is writing very interesting let ters from' points of interest. The Constitution has richly earned the enviable position it now holds in Southern journalism. People of this section who want a good Democratic paper froth the Georgia capitol will funl the Consti tution the very paper they want. A Just Rebuke.' A Rome letter writer relates that j on the night of the lOtli the mem-j tof the serenaded at the Fva|iou:|llio-j Gen. B. Youitg, ■Oll - ■■rrrTfke 7til Diltrioftud Albany News, were stopping at the Choice House, and made speeches. Col. S. appeared first, and, went to spouting about, the “new depart ure,” and prosecuting that foolish WUf UUftlTOl JJiffil Uffi'jWk*' VT!IWI *l/ fear will be’thc eatidbof ‘the party’s defeat/.in thenext campaign. Gefi. Young, then being called for, remitrfred that he would “ not ■detain the crowd by a political ‘Speech. This was simply a meet ing-of> the prominent agricultural ists of Georgia, and farming and politics should not be blended on this occasiou. Up would he heard frQm at the proper time and places during the approaching campaign.” Whether so intended or not, it was certainly a keen rebuke to the many imprudent politicians who instead of keeping their guns pointed to ward the Radical lines, are spout ing and gassing about “departures,” and thusffii.ing round after round info the- .very ranks of the party they claim to love so well. Wc have had enough of this use less bombast and child's.play- For the country’s sake, let this wild goose chasing within pur own linos be stopped ; and let every muzzle point directly toward the already weak and divided lines of Radical ism, The Radical party is already sick, and staggering beneath the weight of its own corruption. Pub lic opinion is already preparing its grave in oblivion. There is hut one remedy for its malady ; and that remedy is tho division of the .Democratic party. Give it this in the next campaign, and the hot' blood of fanaticism will, agaiu course through its now shrivelled veins—-giving it new life, and crier gy, and vielbry oyer the right.— Then an other simoom will sweep over our land, leaving Uio.tynjple of liberty buried like.jJie monuments of ancient Tlmbys, .only tip l*e ex humed by the sweat, b'docl, and toil of future genera then's. llUukah foe Lumpkin,and Stkw art Countv. —Our good friend, Dr. Hamilton, just in from the above notable section of Southwest Geor gia, reports Railroad matters on the Bainbridge, Cuthbert & Columbus line, doing gloriously well.

Atu-Link lUvii.Uoad Mketing.— There has been a called meeting at Colujnbia, South C-itfoliua, of the, Di roc.tors of the,above, road y to re ceive the report of the Chief Engi neer, as to the location of the line between Gainsville, Georgia, and Greenville, South Carolina. There seems to be a considerable and laudable rivalry between the towns of Anderson, Pendleton and Wal- Ualia, and intermediate points, to secure the line near these respective towns. Asa matter of course, the road is one of much importance, and the interests of the section of country decided upon as the route, will be greatly promoted by tbe lo cation. A Rome dispatch to the Atlanta Sun says: “General Gor don made a great educational speech on Monday night. He con demned a majority of the books sent us the North as sectional and unit, for for Southern people,' and en passant stated that there were boohs published by Soul It enters that could bo recommended. In conclusion he referred to Ben Hill and his recent speech at Athens in terms not commendatory of it. The speech was amagniti cut effort.” l&U Trains are runnsng thirteen miles out from Eufiula, on the Brujn-wtck a: and Vicksburg Railroad, and hadks for the conveyance 'of passengers between the terminus’ and Clayton, are making the con nection. The Agricultural Cellege. The question of establishing a State Agricultural College lias been fornoimv lime by lading inen of the State. It was** freely %«iitila.ted :it-o.the jlate Con ventiig; and v;mous pla#is sug gested". It was thought advisable by some to locate the Cellege at Dalilonga, she having the buildings and grounds of the United States mint to offer-asnti inducement. Another party favors Milledgie il nvjy uhw'itil^'iip[ji upi mnun up tim States property there to‘ the uhcs of the Agricultural College. The otlrgr plan, and we think, ; the one most likely to be adopted is indicated in the following para graphs, which we clip from a speech by Gov. Brown, which we find satisfactorily reported in .the New Era, of Atlanta We have allowed our .• University to suffer. She must fail if this Js not changed. Georgia is too nig gardly to her great University, hence denominational colleges have sprung up as a necessity. Let these colleges grow and expand, but if a student desires to gain a professional education, let him gel it in our State University, and don’t oblige him to quit tho {State in or der to get it. If vie .continue to fail in tins matter we shall lose our claim to the title of Empire State. Georgia has done nothing lately for her University. Years ago she gave some land, but even this she A«ok back, and gave in its place a fund from the interest of which ($8,000) the expense of the faculty is* partially met, but this is not an endowment, simply tho interest due annually upon a sawed debt. Ton permanent colleges in tbc Northern States have an endow ment of about nine millions of dob lars. The speaker also alluded to the magnificence of the endowments of European colleges. The South is far behind in the grand race fartherest of all Georgia. Virgin ia gives her University thrice tho amount that our University has, Alabama six times as much; and Mississippi endows her University with $500,000. Aro wc not slum ■ beringon the brink of rum? Our character as a State is at stake t What shall w e do? Go forward and prosper, or stand still aud fail ig uoniimously? Georgians, we must arouse from our lethargy. A ray of hope is left; Congress donated us, tor collegiate purposes, 270,000 acres of land. In appropriating this the best interests of the whole State must be considered. It will not do to divide the value of this land. Tho half dozen colleges ask ed for must have have means at once, and cannot bide the delay nee essary to realize the value of this landscript. At the estimated value of 75 cents per acre, the sum reali sable is $202, 000. This, if divided" between Dahl onega and Millcdgb ville, would give but SIOO,OOO, the revenue from which would be in sufficient to maintain A FIRST CLASS AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. It is costly to establish and main tain such an institution, lienee the small capital realized would fail to maintain such a college as Geor gia wants at those two points. On "tfce other hand suppose you add the whole sum to tho resources of the State University; by such a consolidation you obtain all you want. Wo there need only two ad ditional Professors to perfect the hiculty-f-instead of the seven neo efcsary ia a separate' institution of the .sort. Tiiis is economy, and the Pe.sources of the University, added, to these facilities, will make the Agricultural College ot Georgia a complete .tuccess. Where.then are tho superior advantages of Dahlon eg a or M.iliedgovilUt, when neither of these-]> luces have ..buildings a>le~ , <piate to, the purpose? You cannot use any of the landscript fund do rnitcd by Congress even for repairs of buildings, ail of which would have to be dono ,in Dali lon ega and MilleclgOvillei Athens will give, if necessary, an experimental farm.— All that will be required is the sup port of the two additional Profess ors necessary for the special pur poses of tho Agricultural College. We can then throw open the doors of Athens to all the youth of Geor gia, and there give them the best of education free , Till this is done Georgia will never he what she should he. Some of the old Alum ni don’t much like the late change in the curriculum, but the reform is wise, and necessary to meet the demands of a progressive age. It is a grand beneficial movement.— We have adopted the approved system of German universities.— But if the old course is desired to be pursued, irt can he dono the same as ever, the only difference is the course is not compulsory—a system based upon wrong. The speaker gave , a graphic illustration of the evils of the old system of educa tion pursued, which gave tho lazy drone the same right to the diploma at the end of his college life, which was given to the industrious and brilliant student. Now all students must stand or fall upon their undi vided merits. He has the choice of studies, and if prolicient in ei ther, will get his deserved diploma. The State wants skilled artizans and the best developed brains in the industrial pursuits. In addition to this, Athens will give tuition free, and board at a nominal rate. Let us concentrate our resources and energies and achieve the highest results. Huge Alligators. —Several huge alligators have been prowling about the premises of W. A. Stenton, in Palatka, East Florida. Mr. S. says positively that several of these mon sters would average from 17 to 18 feet in length. He comes to this conclusion by taking their measure ment from a log alongside of which they were reposing. He fired at them several times but'•failed to make an impression. ‘ Emory College. nWOilf oF VISITING COMMITTEE. The Committees appointed in. be half of the two Conferences—of the North Georgia Conference, 11. II Parks, Arminus Wright and John licit! t, and of the South Georgia Conference, J. O. 33ranch, Waltfil’ Knox, and J. B. McGelme, to visit Emory College during its Com mencement exercises, were at their first meeting, organized as one com mittee, by the election of Walter JriiOx Chairman, and John Ileidi:, Secretary, and beg leave through ■ tbrtr Ufrainwaii t* submir the fob .Uwjng report - The examination of the students having already, taken place, ilie eorumrttee, fmd hut little to do, and consequently, they have hut little to report. They requested of the Board of trustees, that the ex aminations shall hereafter be in wri ting, aud be preserved Kind submit ted to the Visiting Committees of the three Conferences interested, with such other committee as may lie appointed by the Vacuity,; and this, as they were informed, was ordered by the Board. The exhibition of the Sopho mores in declamation, ami of the Juniors and Seniors in speaking, was as the committee are pleased to report, highly creditable to the young gentlemen severally. The selected pieces were well spoken, and the original speeches were well written and well delivered giving evidence of a cultivated taste, and of proper training in the noble sci ences of election, indeed, from all they witnessed, the committes are of opinion that Emory College is not surpassed by any in the State, as an institution of learning. It wilt subserve the purpose of u lib eral education ; and in its moral stamina and religious tendencies, it justly claims an elevated ylaoe among its compeers here and else where. Eighty-one ministers and preachers have already gone fortle iiom its classic hails—some few in deed to their inheritance in the skies, and others are still proelam ing far and wide the ever blessed gospel of the Bon of God. In ad dition to these there are nine preach ers now in tho College, receiving an education which will better pre pare them for their high and holy calling. Some who graduated here, are now presidents and professors in colleges, aud a large number of them are engaged in teaching. The committee agree in making this further report. In walking over the college grounds they could not but feel sad, and even morti fied. The college chapel, a large and commodious one, capable, it is thought, of ■ seating comfortably, over twelve hundred persons, is partially in ruins, so much so at least, as to he deemed unsafe for the accommodation of the crowds usually p reset] t during Commence ment services. The dormitories, converted during the late war into hospitals for the sick and wounded, have not been roiitted, and are now unsafe tor the purposes of their erection. But while it was humili ating to witness these outward symptoms of decay, the committee are gratified to learn that the Trus tees, who were untiring in their la Ivors, have made arrangements for the necessary repairs and improve ments. Still moirey is needed*?'and wilbnot the friends of the institu tion furnish it ? Emory College is too valuable —much too valuable to be neglected. It is every way wor thy of the patronage and support of our people. It. richly deserves an endowment, and it'ought to be lib erally largely endowed. The Meth odist and friends of Methodism in the North Georgia, South Georgia, and Florida Conferences, are well able--to sustain it. Will they not oeino to its relief. Surely, we have a right to expect, that by a libeirfl contribution on the means with which a bountiful Providence has blessed them, they will conspire to place this institution of their fath ers on a basis as firm as the age epduring granite, and as lasting as the generations of man ! lit 11. Parks and J, O. Branch Were appointed to submit this re port to their respective Conferences. Walter Kxox, Ch’n. Jon x Heidt, Sec. A Bloody Tragedy in Bulloch Coutny. We learn from parties who ar rived in the city Thursday, from Bulloch conuty, the following par ticulars of a very mysterious trage dy, which occurred at the residence, of Mr, Joseph Davis, in that county : About 3 o’clock Wednes day morniag the inmates of Mr. Da vis’ house were alarmed by the loud screams of bis wife (Mrs. Da vis.) Her sister ran to the room, and found Mrs. Davis sitting, on the bed. As soon as she entered the room Mrs. Davis said, “ lam bleed ing to death ; run out and call some of the neighbors,” after which she sank down ou the bed a lifeless corpse. On examination it was as certained that someone had cut her throat, and from the nature of tbe wound it is.thought that it was in flicted with a pocket-knife, which was afterwards found iu a tub of water in the yard. At the time that the-wound was inflicted Mrs. Davis was sleeping in bed with her two little children. Her husband was oft from home on a fishing frol ic, and the sad news of the tragedy was as startling as it was unexpect ed. No one can account for the di abolical outrage, nor can it even be surmised who w’as the cowardly per petrator of this damnable crime, tbe performance of which should have made the very worst fiend blush for shame. We learn that steps have been taken to ferret out the mur derer, and we hope that the effort may prove sueeetsful, and that the guilty party, if discovered, will be brought to immediate condign pun ishment.— Savannah Republican.
