O. w"\, 4Mii inch 4 . idi-b Mr. Editor:—The Gainesville and Jefferson railroad is a fixed fact. It will l'C completed to Jefferson and Jug Tavern this fall or winter. Xotv tho question is, what are the people of Athens going to do ? If they do nothing, the trade of Jackson county is gone. In fact down as far as Clarkesboro is liable to go over the Gainesville and Jefferson road. Can we afford to lose that trade ? I think not! The gap from Athens to Jeffer son is only eighteen miles by the wagon road, and less by the railroad. It is one of the best and cheapest roads in the stale to build. The trouble with onr people now is, that they have been sold out, or ratber “given out” of the Northeastern raiK road, by our Mayor and Council and left with a heavy tax to^pay, to meet the interest on the bonds. That has so disgusted our people that they have.no present relish for railroads. I can’t blame them. But there is no use of onr ]>eoplo coiling down like a whipped puppy and giv ing up all enterprise. One of the difficulties. J find in the way is, that some of our people want to run the road to Jug Tavern, ins stead of to Jefferson. That will nev er do, for the following reasons, to— wit: 1st—Because it is twenty-four miles to Jug Tavern, while it is only about seventeen to Jefferson, a difference of seven miles in distance. lid—Because, a railroad bridge will have to be built across the middle Oconee river, which will cost nearly as much as it will take to grade the road to Jefferson. od—When the road reaches the Jug Tavern road, it will strike it at right angles, and any one who knows any thing about trade, knows that when the ears are loaded up at G-iine-wille, they will go through to the Georgia railroad, at Social Circle, seekim , a southern ;Ul)1 , aslern ano will not switch off’at Jtu Haiti more 3.05 |>. id lMiiUJelphia 6.35 p. n New York........ 9.20 p. u IA CANADA ROVTIIKKS BAII.

Micholion Tav ern to come to Athens. 4lh—A road run from here to Jug Tavern will be a separate corporation and a charter will have to be obtain ed for the same, which cannot be done during the present session of the legislature, as the constitution re quires notice to he published of the iutention to apply lor a charter. 5th—A railroad from here to Jug Tavern would antagonize the Gaines ville and Jug Tavern road, and could not bo run in harmony with that road, as that road is seeking a connection with the Georgia railroad at or about Social Circle. bth—If our people procure the ex tension of the Gainesville and Jeffer son road, then we will have a direct and through connection with Gaines ville, and the nearest route to At lanta. 7th—Tho Gainesville and Jefferson road can be connected at t lie Norths eastern depot with the Georgia road, where the Georgia railroad will be fore long, locale its depot, and that will give the people of Dahlonega and GailiAKvillD lLa.^^^1. rater, ox o. il. u Georgia railroad to the cities on the coast. 8th—The road from Dahlonega will be a narrow gauge, and so will the one from Gainesville to Jefferson, and hence freight put on the cars at Dah lonega would more likely come to Athens than to “break bulk’’ and re load at Gainesville for Atlanta or Richmond. 9th—To build the road to Law- reneeville, it is forty-four miles, with three rivers, to-wii: the Oconee, Ap- palachec, and Alcova, and some creeks to cross, and a good deal ot very rough road. But when your road reaches there where would you go to ? Why you would hike the Lawrence- ville road to the Air-Line, and you would then be as completely under the control ol the Richmond and Dan ville as you are now at. Athens. But some one will say go on to Atlanta. That is about seventy-miles with tour rivers and a number ot creeks to cross. That would cost several millions of dollars and is wholly impracticable. But the Jtff'ersou read will cost about i $-0,000 or $25,000 to grailo it, and that is practicable Our ]>eop!e can do that much, and if we cannot buy the irou and rolling stock, 1 reckon that Cols. 0. II. Pliin- izy and W. M. Wadley will do as much for this end of the line as they are doing for the Gainesville end. that is to say take the bonds of the company with which the iron can be bought. Hence, I say, to talk about a road to Jug Tavern and Luwrencevillo is utter nonsense. You can’t build either. The Gainesville and Jefferson 1*0 id when extended to Athens, would be as good a feeder for the Georgia railroad as the Jug Tavern, when ex tended to Social Circle, and I have uo doubt that the owners of the Georgia railroad will extend the same aid to one that they will to the other. lOih—But we are told by some ol our people, that we want a road to strike the Brunswick, between Macon and Atlanta, and we are referred to the energy of Bailey Thomas, &c,&c. Now let us see what that will ] amount to. In the first place the M: con and Atlanta extension does noi cross to the east side of the Ocmulgi river, but runs up the west side that river, by or near to Jackson Butts county, and McDonough Henry county. McDonough is about’ the nearest point you can strike it. That is about seventy-five miles trom Athens, and to reach it the Oconee, Appalachee, Little, Alcova, Yellow, and South rivers, and Barber’s, Jack’s and ether large creexs will have to be crossed. These rivers are surrounded wilh hills and a rough country. If our people are able and willing to put two or three millions of- in a railroad, then it will do to talk abont building a road to strike the Brunswick extension, but not other-, wise. The truth is people talk a good deal about things they know very little about. I. is only about ninety miles to Macon, and it is much the best country to build a railroad through. But we can build the road to Jeffers son, and I apprehend that all of this big talk about striking the Brunswick extension is intended to avoid sub scription to the Jeffeison and Gaines ville raod—a road that we cau build if we will try- The writer of this saw Col. Allen D. Candler, the president of the Gainesville and Jefferson railroad, a few days ago, and asked him it the iron rails for his roal would be fur nished, and the road run by the Rich mond and Danville railroad. IIi« re ply was that it would not, that his company would buy its own iron from the sale of its bonds, and would run its own road. I thought his head was level, on that subject, and suspected that he had learned some wisdom* from having seen small towusor cities surrender their railroads to great cor porations, as Athens has done to Richmond and Danville. The truth is. Col. Candler’s road is outlet over the Georgia railroad, and it is to the interest of Athens to take advan tage of the situation and make the connection by tilling the gap between Athens and Jefferson. I am satisfied that persons who re side on the line of the road from here to Jcfler.-ou, iviil take stock according to their moans, and if proper efforts are made in the city and along the line, funds can be raised to build the road. Then let our people turn their at- tent ion, for a brief season, to this sub ject. I tell you now, that unless some thing is done very soon you had as well to quit building stores and ware houses, for you will have no trade for your stores and nothing to put in your warehouses if you stand quietly by and allow all of the trade ot Jackson, THE BRIDAL WINE CUP.

Thousands of acres of low lands now lying out could be converted into the finest hay and meadow lands.

Will you, dear Bauner, help us to more fully develop all the resources of our county, by sending your wide awake and valuable pa|ier into every household in the county and sounding into their cars the note of progress that is bound to resouud through her hills and valleys? * * * [The Banner will do all in its power to advance and develop the interests of Jackson, which, as our correspond ent well says, is one of the finest counties in the State.—Editor. The Temperance Move ‘Jack Plane,’ in a recent article to the Savannah News, on the subject of temperance, says: ‘I know sirno wholesale whisky houses that have taken their drum mers off the line of the Macon and Brunswick Road because the counties lying along and adjacent to the road banished whisk v, and there was not enough ot business to justify the em ployment of a man —only two or three counties along the whole line that li cense barrooms. The threadbare dec laration that people will have whisky, anyhow, is forceless. It is true a tow men send to Macon or Savannah, have their kegs and jugs filled, but the masses are delivered trom this evil. And the kegs and jugs are getting less frequent every year, and time will work an entire cure. I have given these fiicts, hoping that they may be of service at this time.’ Pouring a brimming cup, they held it with tempting smiles toward Ma rion. SheVwas very pale, though more composed; and hei hand shook not, as smiling back, she gracetullv accepted the crystal tempter, and raised it to her lips. But scarcely had she done this, when every hand was arrested by her piercing excla mation of ‘Oh, how terrible !’ ‘What is it ?’ cried one and all, thronging together, tor she had slow ly carried the glass at arm’s length, and was fixedly regarding it as though it were some hideous object. ‘Wait,’ she answered, while a light, which seemed inspired, shone from her dark eyes, ‘Wait, and I’ll tell you. I, see,’ she added slowly, pointing one jeweled finger at the sparkling, ruby, liquid, ‘a sight that beggars all de scription , and yet listen—I will paint it for you if I can. It is a lovely- spot ; tall mountains crowded with verdure rise in_ awful sublimity around, a l iver runs through, anil bright flowers grow to the watei’s edge. There is a thick, warm mist, that tho sun seeks vainly to pierce. Trees, lofty and beautiful, wave to tho airy motion of the bird; but there—a group of Indians gather; they flit to and fro, wilh something like sorrow upon their dark brows. And in their midst lies a manly form —but his cheek, how deathly; his eye wild with the fitful fire of fever. One friend stands besides him—nav, I should say kneels, for see, he is pil lowing that poor head upon his bn ast. ‘Genius in ruins—on the high, holy looking brow/! Why should death mark it, and ho so young? Look how he throws hack the damp curls ! see how lie clasps his hands! hear his thrilling shrieks for life! mark how he clutches at the form of liis companion, imploring to be saved. Oh,hear him call piteously his father’s name—see him twine his fingers to gether as he shrieks for his sister— his only sister—the (twin of his soul —weeping for him in his distant native !sud- ‘•Seo,’ she exclaimed,: while the bridal party shrank back, the untested wine trembling in their faltering grasp, and the Judge fell overpowered upon his seat—‘see! his arms are lilted to heaven, he prays, how wild ly, for mercy 1 hot fever rushes through his veins.

Her lieantiful arm had lost its tension, and the glass, with its little troubled red waves, came slowly toward the range of her vision. A s she spoke again, every lip was mute. Her voice was low, faint, yet awfully distinct; she stiff fixed her sorrowful glance upon the wine cup : ‘It is evening now; the great white moon is coming up and her beams lie gently on his forehead. lie moves not; dim are their piercing glances, in vain liis friend whispers the name ot mother and sister—death is there. Death—and no sott liand, no gentle voice to bless and soothe him. His head sinks back 1 one convulsive shud der—he is dead A groan ran through the assembly. So vivid was her description, so un earthly her look, so inspired her man ner, that what she described seemed actually to have taken place then and there. They noticed, also, that the bridegroom hid his face in his hands and was weeping. ‘Dead !’ she repeated again, her lips quivering faster and faster, and her voice mere and more broken; ‘and there they scooped him a grave, and there, without a shroud, they lay him down in that damp, reeking earth; the only son of a proud father, the idolized brother of a loud sister. And he sleeps to-day in t hat distant coun try. with no stone to mark the spot. There he lies—my father’s son—my own twin brother! a victim to this' deadly [loison. Father,’ she exclaimed, turning suddenly, while the tears rained down her beautiful cheeks, ‘father, shall I drink >t now ?’ The form ot the old .nidge was con vulsed wilh agony. He raised not his head, hut in a smothoied voice he faltered. ‘No, no, my child—no!’ She lifted the glittering goblet, and letting it suddenly fall to the floor, it was dashed into a thousand pieces. Many a tearful eye watched her move, incut, and instantaneouslv every wine glass was transferred to the marble table oil which it had lu-en prepared. Then, as she looked at the fragments of the crystal, she turn d to the com pany, saying; ‘L-.-t no friend hereaf ter, who loves me, tempt me to peril my. soul for wine. Not firmer are the everlasting hills than my resolve, God helping me, never to touch or taste the poisoned cup. And be to whom I have given my hand—who watched Editor Post Appeal: I was much surprised on reading in your columns of ye-terday a paragraph from the Macon Telegraph, in which it was said that I hall been talking ‘radical rot’ in a Ssnday-school ad dress at Suwanee, county of Gwinnett It was news to me; it will be news to the editor of the ‘Gwinnett Herald’ and to the hundreds of men, women and children who heard tho talk. In dependent of that sense of propriety, one of the purest inheritances of ‘the old south,’ which would prevent me from any allusion to po'itics lest I might sully the ermine with which Georgia has honored me, I should have been deterred from it by that delicacy and taste which is the com mon inheritance of gentlemen every where. Tt was a social gathering of the followers of Christ without dis tinction of sect from some twenty Sunday-schools assembled to promote the great cause of the education of the souls of the young youth lor heaven—a cause compared with which all political discussion, all national advancement, all railroad and manu laeturing enterprise, however impor tant in themselves, sink into nothing ness just as all lesser lights go out when the sun shines; and to obtrude any allusion to tadicalism, rotten or sound, on such an occasion, would have been rude, perhaps even irreve rent. Certainly not a word was said by me, or anybody else which I heard', having the most remote allusion to political affairs It was a delightful gathering; to me a most enjoyable day. I stood among the friends of my youth—the lew left this side the grave—most were dead, but in the faces of the younger I saw the lineaments of thtir parents. Thus when I rose to speak —and the address was extempora neous—the dead south with its dead, always good to me and heaping hon ors upon me arose in memory before me, and around me was the new south with all its prospects and pos sibilities in the persons of the chil dren of the beloved and honored dead. It was natural to allude to the one as old and dead—to the oth er as young and alive. The one was my dead south, sacred to me as the grave of my father; the other,my, liv ing south, dear to me, it possible, as the children ot my loins. AVith that assembly I bent reverently over the grave ol the one, and hailed with hope the new life of the other. May it be the resurrection ot the corpse with all that was noble and good and pure about it when alive, but leave in that grave all that was wrong! I did not know that it manifested a want of reverence or of affection for the old South to say that it was tkflrtr sms momdiV-itlfcj •»« -hr-mr This ignorance is my only sin on that occasion in this connection, and this alone has brought upon me this scur rilous attack ot the] Macon paper, that I had been talking 'radical rot’ at a Sunday school celebration. I am at a loss to conjecture who penned the paragraph; It could not have been th6 sober and cultured chief. He commands good English and has no need ot Billiugsgate; nor Jones, with his facile and fluent pen, for in his veins is the best blood ot the old south, and nothing chivalrous would use so coarse a blade; nor can it be Reese who struck the Joab blow, for bis too is an honored name as well in the old as in the new Georgia, and his friendship trom boyhood to this hour, so far as I know, forbids such a sus picion. It must have been a novice in the office. I will not say a novitis ate in polite writing—who handled the unaccustomed pen. So conjecturing, I leave the para graph, the paper and the writer. I have written the above and ask you to publish it as you did the attack upon me, in order that those who read your paper and do not know me may feel assured that I have not dragged Georgia’s ermine in fi’.th, or uttered a sentiment disloyal or disre spectful to the land of my fathers. James Jackson. A cotton picker has been the great want ia the cotton -prod u eing sections ot the south, and now Mr. H. P. Dooley of Forest City, Arkansas, claims, after having worked at it four years, to have succeeded in inventing the desired machine. Mr. Dooley says that one man and two horses are all the help needed for his picker; the driver sacks and throws the cotton overboard as the machine goes from turn to turn. The machine can be used ns soon as enough cotton is open to justify running it, and soon unti all the cotton is open. If all the cot ton is open the picker will pick eight acres of cotton a day, whilst it can be brill forone hundred dollars. In the jiicking all the dust, trash ami dirt are shaken off*. If the menu cHiimed tor the picker are realized, Mr. Doo ley has conferred an inestimable boon on the cotton planters by liis invent lion, whilst iu success would insure him a fortune. - the state university. Address of Dr. Hell Before the Legislature Yesterday. Yesterday morning at 9 o’clock hy request Chancellor Well addressed the general assembly in the interest of the State university. There, was a full attendance of members and a goodly number of citizens in the galleries. Dr. Mell said : Many mistakes are made as to the character of the universities. So inany institutions aro called ucivei^n ties that the public mind will com** pare us to institutions from which we are entirely dissimilar. We are not like the German system,* which start* in^ at the falk school and gymnasia anlminofnc in _ o » • Two steamers loaded with .machin ery tor the Atlanta Exposition have over my brother’s dying form in that- sailed from England. discipline. In the university the course is #0100110, and each student regulates his own conduct. \Ve treat onr students on the ground that most of them are boys; we therefore place them under certain rules. They must atteud prayer and recitations. We enforce the attendance of the student and we lay down tho course of study which lu- is to pursue. Our university is constructed to meet the needs of boys as well as men. In the German universities every thing is theory—there is no practice. Wo unite the practice with the theo ry. The European colleges do not practice young men in writing or or atory, and they criticise us for doing so. But the geuius of our institutions is such that our people must be a writing and a speaking pet pie. We also differ from the English people in some respects, while in oth ers we are like the English. At Ox ford there are tweuty-lhree colleges, all constituting the university.’ Cam bridge has nineteen colleges all mak ing one university. We have the Franklin college au*l the agricultural school at Athens, and the branch colleges in the state are parts of the university. All degrees in England, as with us, are conferred by the uni versity. It is an error to suppose that the colleges are for the rich alone. The university is endowed and its tuition is brought to the capacity of the poor est people. Without an endowment tuition at Athens would bo $150 a year. Like the English, we have schol arships. We are allowed as many scholarships as there are members of the general assembly, iu the agricul. tural school at Athens. And in Franklin college we have 50 scholar- t'Mps for deserving young men who are not able to pay. The university differs from the de nominational colleges in the stale. And here let me say that I am notan antagonist of the two denomiuntional colleges. It has been my fortune to teach iu both. I wish to see both flourish. They exert a conservative influence which we could not get elsewhere. They stand as a warning to the trustees ol the State university that they must respect the religious sentiments of the people. There is always danger that in universities under political control that men of skeptical tendencies may get into the P' Ition of instructors. If this should ever happen in Georgia there would be a cry, ‘To your tents, O, Israel!” and there would be the tents ready for them. The difference between these schools and the university is that they give only the old A.B. degree, while we have various degrees iu both cols leges, giving advanced advantages in modern languages, in ancient langua ges, and in sciences. Young men llhr _hc.Il- nVant-tm-r imvji Dr. Mell read an editorial from the Constitntion as to the true course of the university in fitting men up for practical life. He said that able journal has always been the friend of the university. It has supported me well there, and when I see a criticism in the Constitution, I know it is a criticism of a friend. We are giving just what the. editorial asks now and are turniug out excel lent civil engineers and men who are prepared for the practical work of life, if It is asked why we turn out so many A. B.’s and so few practical scientists and busiuess men, I say it is because they don’t come. Dr. Harris, of the Richmond college, tells me that this year Harvard turned out 182 graluntes and only one Bachelor of science. The reason why there are so many lawyers and doctors graduate and so lew civil and mining engineers is because there is a dcman-l for the former and not for the latter. The demand will always regulate the sup ply. We ought not to he reproached tor not graduating more practical buss iness men, when you don’t send them to us. We are prepared to educate men as well in these practical sciences as any college iu the South. It is objected to the university that there : s no religion there. True, no religion is taught there, neither is it taught in nny other literary college. Every prolessor at the university is a member of oue of the great denomi nations in the State. The Bible is read to the students and one of the professors prays. I insist that there is more religion there than anywhere else in Georgia; The chancellor is required to preach to the students every Sunday, and they are required to attend. I thank God that such is my privilege to address one of the grandest audiences in tho world -an audience of educated minds. There are no denominational teachings there and there are no such teachings any where in the state. At the university the pro f e980rs of the different denom inations teach in Sunday schools and each gathers around him the \ oung men of his own faith and drills them in it. The universiiy is a religious in stitution hut not a denominational in stitution. • As to the discipline at the univer sity, I cannot bear witness as it is in my hands. The government there i* responsible. It is respected. It is a government of influences. It takes hold of the In-art of the student and destroys all disposition tocolhge tricks. dents cease to exhibit distinctive char- ™acf.eijsliqp as students, and merge e characteristics of the citi- hy-should not there "bo dis cipline at the university ?

The expenses at the universiiy are very low. Room rent is nothing. Thirteen dollars and a halt a month will board the student. There is no other place in Georgia where there art- such cheap rates. The majority of the boys at the university are poor boys. The society ol Athens is polished. Every student is admitted to be a gens tleinan and every door is thrown open to him. Every boy needs three kinds of culture. The culture of the tiiini- ly, the culture of the school, and the culture of society afterwards. The onlfnre ofk6ciety'.ther4S£!Bi>'6lie : can be tbnnd anywhere. Religion holds its head up there. It is the dis sipated man who is there put into Cov entry. I have spoken to you of the condition of the university. It is your institution. Its interests are in your hands. Yon know what its wants are, and I have confidence that you will supply them.
