PEABODY INSTITUTES. Department of Education, Atlan ta, Ga., July 12th 1883. —To the Teach ers and County School Commissioners of the State of Georgia: There will be six Teachers’ Institutes held in Georgia tiiis year. The locations will he Albany, Waycross, Sandersville, Barnesville, Dalton and Covington. The instructors will be as follows: At Albany, John Neely, superintendent of the public schools of Americus, principal; Profes sor B. T. llnnteß, of Albany, associate; at Waycross, W. H. Baker, superintend ent of the public schools of Savannah, principal; John’M. Gannon, teacher in the same schools, associate; at Sanders ville, B. M. Zettler, superintendent of the public schools of Macon, principal; Professor John S. McLaughlin, of Thl botton, associate; at Barnesville, W, J. McKern ie, superintendent of public schools of West Point, principal; Profes sor S. C. Baldwell, of the Rome Female college, associate; at Dalton, Rufus W. Smith, president Dalton Female college, principal; E. G. Moore, principal Fair Street school, Atlanta, associate; at Cov ington, W. B. Bonnell, president Geor gia Methodist Female college, principal; 11. C. Mitchell, principal Marietta Street School, Atlanta, associate. The institutes will all be kept up just four weeks. The one at Barnesville will begin on Monday, the sixth of Au gust; all the others on Wednesday, the first of the same month. The subjects of instruction will be reading, penmanship, geogra phy and arithmetic. The true idea of institute instruction is to make the teach ing of methods the main design. This idea will be acted upon as far as practi cable; but instruction in subject matter will be given when necessary. The white and colored teachers of the state are invited to be present. The races will be taught in separate schools, but by the same instructors Tuition will be free to all teachers who may choose to attend. I desire the county school commission ers to meet me for two days’ instruction at the several institutes. I will be pres ent for the purpose of giving this in struction as follows: at Albany, the 2nd and 3rd of August; at Waycross, the 6th and7lh; at Barnesville, the 9th and 10th; at Covington, the 13th and 14th; at Dalton, the lGth and 17ih, and at Sandersville, the 22nd and 23d. The commissioners will, of course, choose such places to attend as may be most con venient of access. I give it as my opin ion that the boards have the right to al low the commissioners their per diem for two or three days of their attendance, as greater efficiency in the work of these officers would thereby be secured, and I hereby advise the boards to take this ac tion. The rates of board will be as follows: at Albany, for white teachers,, from sls to S2O per month ; for colored, $2 to $2.50 per week: at Waycross, for white teach ers, from $3 to $6 per week; for colored, $lO to sl2 per month: at Sandersville, white, $12.50 to $lB per month; colored, from $6 to $8 per month : at Barnesville, w bite, in private families, from $12,50 to sls per month; at the hotel, S2O per month ; colored, $8 per month: at Dal ton, for white, in private families, sl2 to sls per month; for colored, $8 to sl2 per month: at Covington, for white, fioin $12,50 to sl4for the four weeks; for col ored, from $G to $lO. I have made application to the general passenger agents, as I believe, of all the railroads in Georgia for reduction of rates. Many of them have made very liberal responses. I give below the rates in all eases where reduction has been granted: The Savannah, Florida & Western railroad will return persons who attend the institutes free on presenting a certifi cate from tiie state school commissioner that they have paid full fare going. The Central railroad will return teachers at one cent per mile on present ation of a certificate from the state sciiool commissioner identifying them as teachers, and stating that they passed over the Central line going, paid full fair, and were in attendance at the meet ing mentioned. The following are the points from which teachers may obtain tickets at the above named rates: From Albany or Savannah, when the meeting is at Alba ny or Waycross-; from No. 13 when the meeting is at Sandersville; from Barnes ville; from Atlanta, when the meeting is at Dalton; from Atlanta or Augusta when the meeting is at Covington. The certiffi'ate will be good three days after the closing of the institutes. The Georgia railroad, on application to the office of the general passenger agent, in Augusta, “will furnish certif icates for delegates to the conventions, which will be signed by the secretaries of conventions and delegates holding the sine, and presented to ticket agent, who will sell them return tickets at one cent per mile, full, regular fare to be paid go- ing.” The East Tennessee, Virginia & Geor gia railroad grant “a rate of four cents per mile, round trip, for teachers, or for persons attending these institutes for the purpose of intending to be teachers.’ The Western & Atlantic railroad will return members attending the institute at Dalton free. The words of the agent are, “delegates attending the convention of the Teachers’ Institute, w hich con venes at Dalton, Ga , on the first day of August, will be passed free on theiF re turn upon presentation to the conductor of a certificate signed by the presiding officer of the convention, showing that the holder was a delegate and had been in attendance on said convention. This arrangement does not apply to ministers CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, iTOIIff..JSCaST£aSBab of the gospel YYJb this company to tificates for return pas '■pir nnr|MiM[‘fniTHii nized if presented on npfirfcMaft* tember.” H* ** The Rome railroad wiii~r.rii frees persons attending the institute oiwwftitLa cate from the state school commissioner as to their attendance. > •? The Marietta & North Georgia rail road will return persons who attend the institute free on the state school commis sioner’s certificate of attendance. Persons wishing further information in referanee to the institute at Dalton will address “Executive Committee of Teachers’ Institute,” at thatrplace. I would respectfully request every edi tor to whom this'cireular is sent either to copy it, or to write and publish a no tice of its contents. We are indebted for the money which enables us to hold these institutes to Dr. J. Ti. >l. Curry, the gemwal agent of the Peabody fund. Gustav us J. Okr, State School Commissioner. EX-GOVERNOR C. J. JENKINS. Colonel C. C. Jones’ Eulogy Before the General Assembly. Atlanta Constitution's Report.] Colonel Jones was greeted with ap plause as he arose. Ilis masterly effort occupied abteut one hour anu a half in its delivery, but throughout held the closest attention of the general assembly. He gave a full outline of the life and carper of Governor Jenkins, and related some most interesting incidents of the most trying period Of his life,, which he hud heard from the great Georgian's own lips. He was born in Beaufort district, South Carolina, in 1805, but came to Georgia when a boy. lie attended sev eral famous schools, that 51 AD’. Brennan, at 4k county. A valuabje jofj training was under when that distinguished made president of Fra|jilio * 1822 young Jenkins AM®* re He soon left, however, course at Union college*, iSJeY t, where, in 1524, he grad class. Fifty years afterjstp da he<js:turn ed to the college to deli \sj; address be fore the Phi Beta lvappiji vi which he was a member; vvjUott a student there. His alma mater had him a doctor of laws, and he stpod.before a vast assembly within her gowned with honor and full of years, tile began the practice of the law with, *iohn McPher son Berrien in Savannah,but Ber rien went to the senate young Jenkins movetUto Samian titer YAg with its surrotfnding country, then offered a fine field for a young lawyer. In 1829 lie moved to Augusta. Politics then ran high in Georgia. The Clark and Troup factions were- bitterly arrayed against each other. He cast his fortunes with the Troup party. At the very first elec tion for members of the legislature in Richmond county at which lie was eligi ble, lie was chosen to the lower house. On the very threshold of his career he won the respect and confidence of the people. When quite a young man he became attorney general of the state, an office which he filled with marked ability. He was then defeated twice for the legis lature in Richmond count}’, his wiiig politics being contrary to the popular current there. He was elected to the leg islature in 1840, but two years later was defeated because of his support of the al gerine law. This law was merely an act creating a board of finance for Richmond county to be elected by voters only of property holders. It was passed without opposition, but soon afterwards was held up to the masses as a violation of demo cratic principles. It was given the name of the algerine law by a man named Walker, though the name never had an especial relevancy. In 1840 Mr. Jenkins was elected speaker of the house, and was again called to that office in 1543 and 1845. 11# continued in the legislature until 1850. His high and liberal eharae ter ms a legislator was set forth. Once, when all the other whigs withdrew to leave the democrats without a quorum, he alone remained in his seat and charac terized their withdrawal as revolutionary. He was among the foremost supporters of the plan to build the State road. In 1850 the question of disunion was warmly dis cussed in Georgia, and he represented the Union sentiment. He was the author of the celebrated Georgia platform of that year. In 1851 he was urged by many friends to be a candidate for the United States senate, but would not do so be cause his old friend Berrien persisted in remaining in the race, though he had no chance for re-election. E. Y. Hill and Hines Holt, who were in Milledgeville pressing their claims for the office, went to Jenkins and ottered to withdraw in his behalf, but he declined to enter the race as long as Berrien remained in it. The next day came a letter from Berrien withdrawing. Toombs was elected his successor, but there is a good reason to believe that Toombs would not have al- lowed his name to be usal against Jen kins had the latter not finally declined at the Hill-Holt conference. In 1850 he declined the office of secretary of the in terior tendered him by Fillmore because of important legal engagements. In 1853 he ran against Hereehel V. John son for governor, and after a spirited but dignified canxass was defeated by only a few votes. He remained a whig until that party aligned itself with the aboli tionists. In 1860 he was appointed a justice of the supreme court in place of Linton Stephens, resigned, and remained on the bench during the entire war. The court had, during that period, to de cide some very grave questions, and his services were so conspicuously useful on it that President Davis refused to ap- A-aif e TO fe ItanWv period ic f I WI* Ri t roipi is ! ili'- rdufsFon! wltTi General Pope and General Ateade, his efforts to obtain from the su preme court of the United states an in junction against the reconstruction measures, the partisan rulings of the court and the arbitrary usurpations of the military power were all portrayed 1A the most vivid manner. The speaker re- lated In glowing terms how Governor Jenkins, when he saw that all resistance was useless, saved the treasure andUxOc* utive seal of the stati, which Mfcywfr wards thanked OoJ was never polluted by the hand of the usurper or the upstart pretender, and which he delivered to Governor Smith as his first legitimate successor. Orf motion of Major Cum mings, the legislature ordered a gold fac simile of the seal he had saved made for him, and it was appropriately pre sented by Governor Smith. In summing up the character of. Gov ernor Jenkins, the speaker declared that he would stand in the history of Georgia side by side with the great (George M. Troup. Georgia is fast losing her great men. In a few months she has been be reft of Herschel V. Johnson, Benjamin H. Hill, Alexander 11. Stephens, and yet the grass is not green above the grave of (Jharies J. Jenkins, who many Georgians consider the noblest Roman' Jf them all. His beautiful character; hf> greatness*as' an orator, statesman and law’yter, the de clining years of ills life after SeVving the state in the constitutional conYehttonV spent in dignified repose, were eloquently , set forth, and, in donclusiou, the speaker sakl. < Gvbeir the eftrthly house grew’ tk; k. rile lamp -* hi oil IKinr.ined it, tiim ixui ‘ Is placed iftroffJlpftßWfefc'tSfc heaven.” il' fil ftt ¥;olrftel J \Vas fte 'qpu ;&t?fy i uot’Ajly* *n? gerh' iff 4h6tiglit anil 3 i:x _.( I tod IWif MM 4 co uftß* Apish ntrvtodmurrp i >li \ —*~ ’tic nuond Whig]. many people knbw* fluH General Robert E.

In 18<35‘tbe rail road which is now called the V lrginia Midland and its connections, was mainly held by English bondholders. After an expert had carefully examined the condi tion of things, the committee of bond holders held a meeting and tendered to General Lee the presidency of the road under one organization at a salary of $50,000 a 3-ear. About this time one ef the most powerful of the New York life insurance companies offered General Lee SIO,OOO a year and a house in Richmond •to take hold of and build up their south ern business. He declined both of these splendid offers to accept a place as teacher of southern young men at $3,000.

Earl Spencer, now lord lieutenant of Ireland, made the tender. General Lee, with a charming dignity that these gentlemen say was be yond anj-thing that they had imagined, declined the offer. TOO BAD ON COLQUITT. Macon Telegraph.] The Atlanta Journal gives a circum stantial account of a Sunda3 r -school cele bration in DeKalb county. There was preaching and prayer and praise and prizes and—pie, chicken pie and peach pie, but there was no Colquitt. During six years of his administration his sterto rous declamation and unctuous hymn singing were heard around every school house spring in Georgia during the Sun day-sciiool season. The fattest hindleg of a broiled chicken and the biggest bis cuit were his, likewise the jelly cake and the picnic lemonade. YY'here votes were to be made there was he also. lie sang and wept and wept and sang, made the brethen promise to vindicate the poor persecuted statesman, made the sisters sigh at the wickedness of the bad politi cians and made the hungry little chil dren shudder when lie struck the lunch basket, Is he going to jump the game? This picnic was not far from the scene of his overthrow- by Bob Barry, when in his defeat and distress he declared he was going down to Milton cotint> T to die. But Bob does not appear upon the programme. Has the Sunday-school dodge pla}'ed out? Has good financial and political fortune caused Colquitt to forget the sim ple-minded friends, young and old, who emptied their lunch baskets and filled the ballot-boxes when his need was great and sore?

My head fijft as .hough it were gji iNdy open at the top and it pained me on thd 'sfllF'inteils<iiy7 fq she* weeds’ lyu e I'lfAd'fai'fe'n ‘away fVotii £O3 pounds ieSd than fAJ. I was itl a'most wretch ed eondHioh 1 was CoiWiJletely diseour ‘‘iVliat did the doctors say about ‘ Almdst everyihinj'.‘ I ( consulted no less than six different physician!. They .all treatedI*me 1 *me and nope did tnq aity godd. At that time 1’ was suffering intensely. I conld not sit upright but was obliged to rest in a chkmped, uneasy position. I was Compelled to urinate every five*min utes and 1 passed over three quarts every day. I was not living, } was existing. OUfe night (how weU I remember it) my wife had put the children all in bed when the feeling came over me that 1 should live but a very short time. My wife and I talked matters all over and I gave the minutest directions as to what she should do after I was gone. 1 was not in a flighty condition by any means for the doctor, on leaving town the day following, bade me good bye, saying he never expected to see me again, for I was suffering with Bright’s disease of the kidneys in its last stages. Within the next few days more than twenty friends came to bid me good bye. Among the number was Dr. John L. Clark. He asked me what I had used m the way of medicines. I told him. He then re commended a remedy of which 1 had heard much, but about which I was very skeptical. If faith were an element ot power it certainly was lacking in my case.” “Atul so you did not try it?” “On the contrary, I did try it and to my surprise it seemed to go to just the spot. Indeed, it was the most palatable thing I had taken into my mouth for months. I relished it.” “And did it cure you?” “Do I look as if it did ?” “Yes, indeed. What was it?” “Warner’s Safe Cure.” “A proprietary medicine!” “Of course. What of that! I suppose I had as good a prejudice against adver tised medicines as any one could have. When I was studying medicine at Ann Arbor, Michigan, I used to vow with the rest of the class that we would light all such remedies at all tinges. When a man comes down to the last hour, however, and bids his wife and friends good bye, such bigoted prejudices as these all van ish, I can assure you and any remedy that can cure is gladly welcomed.” “And how have you been since then?” “As well—or better, than before.” “Doyou still exert your strength?” “Certainly. But do not over-exert, as formerly. My strength is increasing everyday, and my health is number one. I know that my life was saved by War ner’s Safe Cure, and I believe it is the best medicine that was ever compounded by any chemist or physician. lam wil ling the doctors should sneer at me for such a statement if they choose, but I have proven its truth, and am prepared to stand by it.” The above experience should be of great value to all who are suffering. It shows the deceptive nature of this ter rible malady: that all symptoms are com mon to it and that there is but one way by which it can be absolutely avoided. The Rev. Dr. Hicks, the spiritual ad viser of Guiteau, a member of the repub lican national committee, at one time a politician in Florida, and now a preacher in Washington, once in a while expresses an opinion which attracts attention. In a sermon last Sunday w eek he said : “The signs of the times portend a coming change in the administration of affairs of government. One result certain to be accomplished by the American democ racy when they shall assume control of the government will be the throttling of these gigantic monopolies, and this fact §omewhat reconciles me.” r. atjcSFattv mA Mil at (he rales *f rr print Tj-1 IHO.
