Public sentiment is daily increasing
in favor of Educational enterprise, and
the cry comes welling up from every
household, “Speed on the good work”
I should be doing violence to the
wishes of friends and the best interest
of Cartersville, were I to cease my ef
forts in so righteous a cause.
A mass meeting recently held in
Atlanta to establish a “State Female
University” unanimously determined
upon, and a “Board of Trustees” elect
ed.
This “Board” have endorsed their
election by literal private subscriptions
and the people of Atlanta are rallying
with their means in support of the
project.
Would that onr citizens could be
imbued with the public spirit which is
animating the people of other places,
and unfurl the banner of public enter
prise to the breeze of the popular will*
If we desire the prosperity of Car
tersville, we should encourage her
manufacturing and mechanical inter
ests; invite population and capital;
stimulate trade by a liberal and enter
prising spirit; and build up “Institu
tions” of learning. Let us cease to
decry, and learn to speak w r ell of our
place. Then shall our waste places
blossom as the rose, and her hills be
crowned with the homes of ail enter
pr sing population.
Her fertile vdleys will pour the rich
products of their wealth into our
treasury, and the Sun of prosperity
with her golden beams will light up
the gloom, and open a radiant future.
Citizens of Cartersville! the dawn
of a bright future is not far distant,
and capitalists from abroad will seek
investment in all your public and pri
vate enterprises, if you will open the
door of invitation and extend a cordial
greeting.
Another Ecclesiastical Ruler De
throned. — Brigliam Young like Pope
Pius, has been compelled to surrender
his temporal sovereignty. A late or
der of the United States commander
in Utah forbids the drilling of Mor
mon militia and demands the surren
der of all arms and munitions, wheth
er the property of the Territory or of
the United States.
JteaTPt is reported that seeret circu
lars are being distributed, purporting
to select a prominent colored man in
each county and put him to death,
and charge his murder to the Demo
cratic Ku Klux. Bullock is to issue
large rewards and parties are to be ar
rested, charged with the crime. This
is said to be done in order to prevent
colored men from running candidates,
to unite them on white Radical candi
dates, and to be used in Northern e
lections;
jß&’-Tke Israelites of New York are
opening schools on Sunday to keep
their children out of evil associations,
and from being demoralized by a day
of hitherto to them purposeless leisure.
The Reformed Jews are opening Sun
day schools and seriously debating up
on the propriety of celebrating Sun
day as a day of rest, instead A Satur
day as heretofore.

Second Stook of Chronicles.
Chapter Ist.
1. And it came to pass after many
days, in the third year of the reign of
Giant, whose sar-name is Ulyses, that
the chronicler, after wandering to and
fro in the earth, and walking up and
down in it, returned to the modern ci
ty of Adah sville;
2. And lifting up his eyes he beheld
and lo! the modern city lay in ruius
at his feet!
3. For the armies of Ulyses had fal
len upon it and slain the people with
the edge of the sword; the stone-wall
thereof was broken down, and few
were left to tell of its fate.
4. And the chronicler was much
moved, and his spirit was stirred with
in him, when he sought for the friends
of his youth and found they wore not.
5. And when he considered that his
friends were dead, that the armies of
Ulyses had smitten the city as with the
besom of destruction, he put sackcloth
upon his loins and sat himself down in
the ashes and w mid eat no bread.
G. Howbeit certain of the citizens,
who aforetime, had tied for their lives,
naked and wounded, before the armies
of the aliens, having returned to the
city, came where he was; and when
they saw him they were moved
wi/h compassion for him, and essayed
to comfort him;
7. And they brought wine, milk and
honey, and said uuto him, why sit ye
here to mourn and weep ?
8. Though the glory of the modern
city is departed, it shall yet rise and
shine the glory of the earth, and the
queen of all the cities of the South.
9. Therefore, arise, put away the
sackcloth from take a little wine
for thy stomach’s sake and tliine often
infirmities; anoint thine head and wash 1
thy face, gird up thy loins, take thy
staff in thine hands and go with us,;
and we will do thee good, for the Lord
hath spoken good concerning the op
pressed of His people:
10. Then was the heart of the chron
icler made glad, and he arose in haste
and followed them into the city, run
ning and leaping and prophesying
good concerning the city.
11. And on the morrow he arose!
early in the morning and took in liis !
hand a cruce of oil and a flaggon of j
wine, and went forth to view the des- j
olation of the land.
12. And his heart uas sad and his
countenance fallen.
13. For lo! on either side of him
and along his path, were the graves of
the friends of his youth, slain by the
edge of the sword, and of venerable
patriarchs cut down by the scythe of
the great destrayer, death.
if. The black and smouldering ru
ins of once peaceful homes smote upon
his vision. The direful effects of bat
tering rams and of terrible engines of
war, were still to bo teen throughout
the length and breadth of the land.
15. And he turned aside to his tent,
and with ail exceedingly bitter cry ex
claimed: how doth the city sit solitary
that was full of people.
16. Mine eyes do fail with tears.—
My bow r els are troubled. My liver is
poured upon the earth for the destruc
tion of the people while the spoiler
was abroad in the land. lam become
a stranger; a race who knows me not
have arisen to till the earth
17. And he enquired saying: who
among the ancient patriarchs, judges,
and rulers, who aforetime, were known
to the clirouicler ?
18. And they aifswered, saying: as
thy soul liveth are none left save Jona
than, hoary and bent with age, J jshua
the leader of the just, and the white
haired stranger.
19. And he expressed to be comfort
ed, and departed in a chariot of fire,
and w*as borne on the wings of the
wind to the far distant coast of lowa.
