pawswn Uterary School—
We are glad to learn that the com
munication of “Dawson,” published in
our paper a few weeks rinse, has awa
kened amongst our citizens a apirit of
enterprise in reference to this impor
tant subject. Nothing would so much
advance the general interest of the
whole community, morally and pecuni
arily as the erection of a Seminary of
this kind in our city. We learn that
twenty acres of land, within the corpo
rate limits of the oity, has been set
H ide especially for that purpose, pre
senting a most beautiful cite, render
ing everything peculiarly adapted to
the purpose contemplated ; and noth
ing is now wanting to accomplish, suc
cessfully, this greatly desired object,
but for car enterprising citizens ia the
town and couutry to unite their ener
gies in pushing forward the enterprise,
and the work will certainly be consum-
msted. We are proud to record the
fad, that a gentleman in this city,
known for his liberality, in everything
pertaining to the prosperity of his fel
low-citizens, has suid that he would
give SSOO worth of lumber for the pur- j
pose of erecting this templo of learn -
ing. flow many will follow his exam
ple? Doubtless there are some who;
who will, while there nre many whoj
will sulmor.be libernlly. We would
suggest to our city Fathers, viewing |
thorn as euterprising and liberal gen- j
tlemen, the propriety of donating from
thetstsesol the present year SI,OOO
for Uns glorious enterprise ; believing
that every citizea will give their hoar- |
ty approval to an act so gotten u sand
magnanimous. We hope at the next!
meeting of tike Council that Utcy will
unanimously head the list with a thou
sand doilar douutioo. If so, your Sell] -
inary will be a fixed fact—Real Estate
will advance more than 50 per cent,
and tho betwfits to the whole town and
county will be incalculable, and a row
impetus given to all kinds of business
never before experienced isl this com
munity.
It it Cowing !—LooJi. Out For
it:—
Tbe announcement that Lake’smaar
motb Circus will be hereon the 9th of
February has created one of the most
pleasant excitement in our commttuity
that baa been experienced in a loug
time. Lake’s establishment is now more
wonderful and complete iu its appoiut-
Beata than any thing of the kind we
have ever tad, and the unprecedented
•uecesa it baa met with shows how folly
the public appreciates the efforts of the
popular Lake to give us something worth
*<®ing. Our friends througmt the
wintry, who may visit the Circus on the
9th, may bo sure of getting the worth
of tjpir money.

The impression is genet a' in political
circles that the House of Representa
tives will arrogate to itself the right to
declare the members of congress, from
Georgia, ineligible to their seats, *g
the Senate has done wtih the Senatois
eloct, and that Goorgin will be reman
ded back into its former anomalous
comliiion, being neither Tenitory nor
State. Tho pretext is the eX| ulsion
of the negroes from tho Leg slature ;
but the real reeaon is that the vote of
the Georgia Legislature will be necos
sary to satiety lioutwell's amendment
to the Constitution, or some other of

Messrs. Lott.Brs & Grtfftn —Dear Sirs: —Tho Mapes’ Soper-Phosphate of
Lime, purchased of you last Spring, and applied to ray corn the IS h day of May,
after which time 1 had a drought ol nine weeks, and I find, upon gathering my
crop, that it has paid me i5 per cent. It it had been applied earfirr, k would
have been muoh better. W. j). MURRAY.

J/essrs. Lovless & Griffin, Agents:—l used 1(10 ponnd* per acre of the Mapee Swper-
Ffiosphate of Lrnie on mv cotton, upon land that had been in cultivation for the past thirty
years. I left rows in the field umnanured, that I might test its properties fuUy, and the iw
sult was fully 5 to 2as compared, in favor of the .S’uper-Phoephate. Colton manured with
ibis fertiliser stands drought better than that unmanured. I am fully satisfied It generate#
moisture. I had upon this cotton il weeks drought, and it stood rt muuh better than that
unmanured. Would recommend two hundred pounds per acre. Ido not expect to grew
cotton again without it. N. W. DOZISR.
