BKKWMTKR, J CAKTERSVILLE, QA., AUGUST 18, 1871 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.

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.
