The New Methodist Church
building at this place, is going up ve
ry rapidly, aud bids fair to do credit
to the skill and workmanship of the
energetic architects who are engaged
in its construction. It is to be com
pleted by the middle of November
next, aud we congratulate the congre
gation upon the neat and commodious
house of worship, where they will
henceforth be permitted to assemble.
The weather has been exceedingly fa
vorable to its construction, and we
h ve no doubt that it will be comple
ted by the time specified above. We
would suggest to the Committee who
imve the charge of the work, that the
Rouse he covered with slate, and not
with shingles. The slate is easily
.procured, and the cost would only be
•ruhanced some two or three hundred
dollars. It is liuble, by its proximity
•to other buildings, to catch on fire, and
af shingles be used, t;.e danger of be
ing burned down would be considera
ble, while if the slate be used, it would
be almost fire-proof. The additional
cost is so small, and the value of the
work would be so much increased by
pursuing this course that we hope this
suggestion will be taken and acted
upon by the Committee. If it is to be
done let the Committee see to it once,
so that the building may be arranged
for the putting on of the slate, before
it is too late to make the alteration.
Our attention has been called to
this matter by others, and we have no
hesitation in saying that it will meet
with the approbation of the whole
community, who would prefer to pay
a little more for this purpose, if neces
sary, rather than see it completed in
such a manner as would render it lia
ble to become a total loss by fire.—
Again we ask the Committee to see
that thia change in the contract for
building is made at once.
The subjoined article from the
Telegraph <k Messenger cau but meet
with the hearty endorsement of every
good man and woman wiio may read it.
Very often it is that all that a man has
in the world, is his good name, and if
this is to be “hawked at and killed” by
the breath of the irresponsible slander
er, then virtue is at the mercy of vice,
and the best and purest of society will
be cast out and trodden under foot of
men. Character is too precious to be
made the target at which any one may
cast a malicious abaft. It is better
than gold; more precious than rubies,
and should always be held among the
sacred things of life. It is strange, but
neverless it is true, that a “dish of
scandal” whether presented in private
or handed round in public by the
press, is often far more palatable than
anything else, depraving though it may
be to the taste and calamitous in the
extreme to the injured and helpless
sufferer.
The age is corrupt, and the Press,
instead of being made the vehicle to
all the bad passions, and evil humors
of the hour, and the daily spreading
of contagious moral pestilences
throughout society, to the utter de
pravation of the morals of the com
munity, should prove itself its ever
trustful and vigilant guardian. It
circulates everywhere, goes into every
to ner of the land, is read in every
household, and for the most part, gives
“form and pressure” to society.
A licentious press is a curse, but
boldly, bravely true and pure, it is,
aud ever will be, a blessing to the
world:
‘We have not the patience for the co
lumns of gossipping scandal which fill
j the New "York papers, relating to al
i leged lia-ons of the ex-Emperor Na
| poleon. In the first place, the evidence
jis wanting to substantiate all such
: charges, and even if they were true,
I the press has curtately a higher mis
i sion to perform than to become the
j vebicle of such gross violations of chas-
I tity and the marital relation. Such
J publications serve but to demoralize
the tone of society, and afford a quasi
support to libertinism and licentious
ness. For this reason, as well as the
utter and diabolical falsity of tne re
port, we have refrained from repeating
the railroad slander against ex-Presi
dent Davis. Cannot the life long rep
utation, and grey hairs of an ostracised
and unfortunate patriot shield him
from the shafts of calumny ? No an
chorite, or hermit in his cave was ever
freeer than he, from the very suspi
cion of the crime imputed to him.—
Let us not forget, however, that even
the Savior of mankind was slandered,
spit upon, and revil and.
The best and noblest of earth are at
the mercy of the traducer, if unsup
ported assertions and villainous fabri
cations are to be received as gospel.—
Let a tree be judged by its fruits, and
a man by the character he has uni
formly sustained even when assailed
by the tongue of calumny, in the ab
sence of clear and indisputable proof
to convict. Who is safe if we act oth
erwise ?”

I Ite Stale Agricultural Conven
tion.
Rome, Ga., August 11, 1871.
ihe Agricultural Convention, which
1 met here on Tuesday, has been the
! means of bringing together tlie largest
number of the Georgia fanners that
j Lias ever been assembled on a like oc
, casion. Iu point of numbers and iu-
I telligence, the convention was a per
j success, and a more orderly and
j harmonious body of men has seldom
I been seen—harmonious, except on one
ior two subjects. A great drawback to
the comfort of the delegates was the
I want of room to seat the three or four
hundred of them that attended. The
Court House was used for the occa
sion, and the heat of the weather ren
dered its circumscribed limits rather
uncomfortable. The arrangements for
the entertainment of visitors were
most complete, and Roman hospituli
i ty will be long remembered.
The first day of the convention
(Tuesday) was mainly occupied with
organizing, &e.
The second day brought out some
discussion on various agricultural top
ics, aud at noon the delegates and vis
itors were carried on special trains to
the Fair Grounds, to enjoy a cold col
lation provided by the residents of
Rome and the neighborhood.
The most hotly discussed question
which came before the convention was
introduced on the morning of Thurs
day, when
Ex-Gov. Brown opened the debate
on the Agricultural College question.
and the disposition of the 270,000
acres of Congressional land scrip, iu
a speech an hour and a half long.
The convention was called upon to
express its opiuion as to what place
in the State the Agricultural College
should be located. The funds for the
purpose, to be realized from the land
grant, was estimated at about $135,-
000.
The ex-Governor advocated the
State University at Athens as the
proper recipient of the fund.
Col. Price, from Dahlodega, thought
that the fund should be divided, aud
that is sectioa of the State should have
a college for its mountain boys.
Col. McKinley, from Milledgeville
also advocated a division, and between
all the debaters a most unpleasantly
bitter discussion ensued, resulting in
the question being left to a committee,
to report at the next session of the
convention. The Majority of the del
egates evidently favored Milledgeville,
and no division of the, fund: but after
all it must be remembered that this
convention has nothing further to do
with the subject than to make a re
commendation to the Legislature,
which that body may entertain or not
as it pleases. In view of this fact, the
amount of talk expended on the sub
ject was suggestive.
At the after noon session of Thurs
day, the Secretary of the State Socie
ty endeavored to impress on the minds
of the delegates the necessity of the
society having an organ —not a hand
organ, but a newspaper one; and de
monstrated, on paper, the advantages
to accrue therefrom. This proposi
tion evidently struck the ideas of the
convention as partaking strongly of a
job, and the Rev. C. W. Howard replied
to the Secretary in a telling speech,
demolishing the proposed enterprise
iu an incredibly snort space of time.
The Secretary is to said express the be
lief that there is only one man in
Georgia who is capable of editing a
newspaper. It is presumable that he
has g;ot that man by the collar, and
anticipated starting a paper that would
swallow up all the smaller fry; but the
convention did not see it, and the mat
ter was referred to the Executive
Committee, who will, of course, con
sign the proposition to its proper
place.
Some most interesting and instruc
tive remarks were made on various
agricultural subjects, all of which wll
doubtless be published; but it was
painfully evident that much sound
practical experience and knowledge of
farming did not reach ears of the con
vention, for the reason that the real
farmers, who, generally, are not accus
tom to public speaking, were outtalked
by those who made the art a study.
The convention did not consist exclu
sively of agriculturalists. Law, life
insurance, politics, railroads, &c., were
all most ably and fluently represented.
On the whole, the convention was a
pleasant gathering of representatives
from the various portions of the State,
and the citizens of Rome, one of the
most thriving, industrious and enter
prising cities in the State, have cause
to be kindly remembered by all the
visitors,of last week.
Iu a futuie number a short descrip
tion of the various manufacturing in
terests, &c., of Rome will be given.
Grant. —The following is ex-Presi
deut Johnson’s opinion of Grant:
“Grant is wantii gin integrity, want
ing in intelligence, and wanting in the
will to promote the good of the coun
try. The little fellow is selfish and
avaricious beyond bounds.—His cu
pidity knows no limit. He never dis
! played any generalship. He marched
at the head—no, not at the head, but
iu tho rear—of an immense column of
men that would havo accomplished the
same results if he had been in the moon.
Grant was a mere unimportant inci
dent. He never showed a spark of
gemous. What inspiring remark did
he ever make that cheered his soldiers
and helped to win a victory? When
did he ever put himself iu danger, like
Napoleon at the bridge of Lodi, to give
courage to his troops? He never had
no sympathy with his men; he never
visited the hospitals, or showed any
feelings for the suffering wounded.
He was utterly remorseless. He was
no leader. He had no plaus aud no
strategy. I repeat, that for any good
he did iu putting down the rebellion,
ho might as well have been in the
moon.”
A TERRIBLE TUMBLE.
Full of a Bridge In One
Hundred Feet Beams and
Barg Shivered and men Killed,
C rushed, and mangled.
, From the Fulton, Callaway Cos., Mo., Fair Play.]
The bridge on the L. ond M. llai’-
rotid over the Au Vase, eight milts
miles liorth of Fulton, is one of the
highest strctures of the kind in the
West. On last Saturday week the
bridge was so nearly completed that a
spun of woodwork had been raised to
its place, and the iron braces necessa
ry to make it self-sustaining bad been
ail parsed through the timbers, so that
little remained to be done except to
screw the nuts on the rods, and so
brace up the whole structure, when
the dinner hour arrived and the hands
who where at work at it went to din
ner.
As soon as the men came back from
dinner they mounted the bridge and
began work. Within a very short
time the whole of the false work on
which the highest span of the true
bridge is built began to give way, and
in a moment the whole forest of tim
bers, composing both the bridge aud
the false work, plunged downward
more than a hundred feet. The tim
bers were shivered as if by thunder
bolls. Iron rods and bars that would
have held the heaviest freight trains in
perfect security if they had been
screwed up properly, were bent and
doubled up, and twisted by the terrif
ic fall as if they had been straws.
Nine men were on the span when
this fearful fall occurred. One of
them was killed instanly, beiug fasten
ed and jammed down into the earth
by solid timbers, which had to be cut
away before he could be removed.—
All the others were injured. When
the work began to give way, one of tffe
men “leaped for life,” a distance of fif
teen feet, and caught with his hands
on the end of the timbers of the span
next to that which fell. He clung for
and instant to the timbers with a
yawning gulf of more than one hun
dred feet below him, then his hold re
laxed, and he fell along the side of the
stone pill <r, down, down, down, down
to the very bottom, and although no
bones broken, he is severely injured by
the fearful descent. James James,
with both legs broken, crushed aud
mangled, and weighted down by the
broken timbers over him, showed a
true heroic spirit, by directing those
who came to his assistance to attend
to the others first; that they might
need attention more than he did.
A Noble Benefaction.—“ All Pa
pers Saould Publish This.”— The
Trustees of the Louisville Medical Col
lege Louisville, Ky.) have created one
of the most liberal and noble benefac
tions ever conferred by a public insti
tution upon any people. The Trustees
of this College have instituted one ben
eficiary scholarship for each Congres
sional district in the Southern and
surrounding States. By this means
very many poor but deserving young
men will be enabled to obtain a thor
ough medical education. Any one
wishing to take advantage of this ben
efaction, which is worth to each stu
dent at least two hundred dollars,
has only to write to Dr. E. S. Gaillard,
Dean of the Faculty of the Louisville
Medical College, Louisville, Ky., when
he will receive a college catalougue
with full information in regard to all
that is necessary for him to do to se
cure one of these scholarships. With
proper and welcome delicacy the names
of those who have secured the benefi
ciary scholarships will be known only
to the Dean of the Faculty. It is un
necessary to commend those who have
established these noble beneficiary
scholarships. Their act will bring
them commendation wherever it is
known.
In accordance with the old Hippo
cratic oath, forbidding physicians to
charge the families of each other for
services rendered, the faculty of this
college will make no charge for teach
ing sons of physiciaus, and as no
physician charges clergymans family,
the sons of clergymen will receive the
same privilege. The next college ses
sion begins October 2, 1871. As the
lecture fee charged for each student
who has not obtained a beneficiary
scholarship binouut to one hundred and
twenty dollars annually, the public can
appreciate the munificenceof this bene
faction.
