Hlale mid Female Institute. # 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. ■ —-—_ The Freedmen’s Bureau.— The “Bu reau,’ at Washington reports that its business in the South is closed, except such portions of the educational inter est as are supported by educational associations. All the agents and aids of the Bureau, except those whose du ties relate to the payment of bounties, have been discharged. - The State Road.— The Augusta Chronicle proposes that the State Ivmd be placed under the manage ment of three Commissioners— one to be the President of the Georgia Rail ' • one the President of the Central ; > ui, and the other to be appoint •l bv he Governor, with the advice ‘v l consent of the Senate. The Board ' to continue in office live years, to test the workings of the system. (Communicated.) 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. Discovery of a New Planet. Utica, N.
