l>cVorl Fi'niiilt! College—Tal
lioUon.
As ono of the Trustees, and at the
solicitation of friends, we attended the
Commencement exercises of the lie
Vert Female College located at Tal
botton. Wq found our old friend,
Kev. H. D. Moore, the President, full
of business and surrounded by a host
admiring friends from different sec
tions of tho Stato. We wore not
greeted by tho faces of any of the
daughters of Terrell, but were pleased
to see 6omo of tho lower counties rep
resented, as well as counties in the
Eastern part of tho State. We mot
there the parents, guardians and
(friends of all, and never before have
wo seen a people who were so proud,
so well satisfied, and so contented as
•are tho friends of LeVort. They have
a President in Rev. 11. I). Moore
whose equal but few colleges can
boast, and the President has an appro
< iative and a working community to
foster, protect and support him. Lo
cated in Talbotton, one of the first
towns of Georgia in every particular,
but especially in point of health and
•society, we know of no school that has
iu«g advantages, and wo conscien
tiously recommend to all who wish to
place their daughters iu the hands of
a Christian gentleman, to enquire in
to the workings of the LeVort.
At a mooting of the Board of Trus
tees, the entire property of the College
comprising a magnificent building and
apparatus, togother with one of tho
most desirably lots in tho town, was
deeded to the South Georgia Confer
ence. This college had been built up
by the citizens of Talbotton, and had
not bpen run in tho interest of any ono
denomination. Finding it a difficult
task to give entire satisfaction, it was
determined by nil to turn it over to
one, and believing more interest and
more iulluenco would be brought to
bear by giving the property to tho
Methodist Church, it was done, we
think, to the entire satisfaction of all.
Wo are under obligations to many
old and new friends for marked atten
tion, and especially do we take off our
hat to that noble quill-driver, Col. J.
B. Gorman, of the Standard, the walk
ing and ladies’ man of the fraternity.
Astor being with him a few days, we
concluded wo could not walk, talk, or
laugh, and did not love tho ladies at
all. Dennis, of tho American, we
found to bo quite a young gentleman,
and glad we are to know ho has suc
ceeded so well in his different enter
prises. The crops of corn and cotton
aro hotter in Talbot county than in
many parts of South-west Goorgia.—
Success, say we, to LeVert, to Talbot
ton, and her noble-hearted citizens,
and to our old friend Jordan, at Gene
va, who is ev6r ready to greet the
weary traveler with a smiling face,
and provide for the inuer man by
spreading before him tho best tho land
affords.
Railroad in Calhoun
County.
Moboaw, Ga., July Ist, 1871.
A meeting of the citizens of Calhoun
county was held to-day in the Court
houAE at Morgan to advise and con
sult what course should be adopted for
the best interests of the citizens of our
county in view of the contemplated
Raii Hoads projecting through our

The meeting was organized by re

the chair, after which J. John Beck,

AnierU'iiK District Sligh School.
We copy below from the Sumter Re
publican a communication from Rev.
J. B. McGehco, known in these parts as
J the man that once filled the position of
; presiding elder of tho A morion sdistrict,
J and now pastor of the Church at Anter
sjicus, and one of the trustees of tho Di-
trict school. We confess surprise at the
production, and can’t for our life spot
the writer. We thought the trusteo3
were appointed to look after the in
• interest of tho School and District, and
not to unite and work for A morions or
any otlior particular locality. We still
think it was intended to appoint men
who would ignore personal and local
interest, but as the writer has had the
reins of authority so long, ho dooms it
no departure from tho rule for him to
I let fly his brain» to convince the people
of Bumtor, Bell ley, Webster and Leo
that Americas it tho place. If tho Rev
erend Sir should succeed in having it
located at Arnoricus, wo humbly ask
him to allow the sons of Terrell, Stow
artjltandolph,and other counties in the
District to be allowed the privilege of
becoming inmates of tho School as stu
dents, and the people generally to feel
that they are not treading on forbidden
ground in'being well-wishers of the
institution. It has been intimated to
us that tho writer was only doing as
did the scared boy while traveling a
narrow path on a dark night—whist
ling to keep up his courage. Whistle
or wiite along, but bo suro when you
go to Cuthbert on tho loth of Septem
ber that you hold a better hand than
when last you mot there, as we imag
ine tho Chairman of the Board will
not again allow a postponement, or if
he does, it will be for better reasons
than wero brought before him on the
28th of J uno.
Tho Cuthbert Appeal comes out
boldly and sets forth tho advantages of
the School, and urges tho citizons of
Cuthbert to action. All right, breth
ren, you aro doing your duty. It is
oxpeeted of you to work for your town,
and we have but to say to you that
tho little, sickly, insignificant, frog rais
ing town of Dawson will be represented
at Cuthbert on the 15th of September,
and if she does no more, she will have
the consolation of knowing that her pu
ny efforts have brought more favored,
hotter located, more healthy, more
woulthy, and woro influential people
to action.
But to the articles: Road and as
citizens of Daw-son and Terrell county,
and residents of tho countios compos
ing tho Americas District, determine
to act, not for Dawson, Amcrieus,
Cuthbort, or for any other locality, but
for the good of the School:
malk high school.
Mr. Editor :—The Amet ions District
Conference resolved to establish a male
School of High grado. Whether that
action was wise or unwiso tho stop was
taken after patient, prayerful deliber
ation ; and 1 am happy to inform your
readers that the interest enlisted in be
half of tho boys, has exceeded our
most sanguine expectations. Should
we pause here ? Oui action has boon
a success.
As pastor of the Methodist church
of this city, one of tho charges com
posing the above Conference, I brought
tho question of location before tho peo
ple, and took an active part in solicit
ing subscriptions. Were it necessary,
tho arguments employed by myself
and the committee who kindly aided
in tilts benevolent work, might bo giv
en to tho public.
At a meeting of the Board of Trus
tees to locate this school, a resolution
was adopted postponing the location
until tho 15th day of September. This
resolution offered and ably advocated
by Col. T. M. Furlow, allowed all
points in the District moro time to
consider and canvass for an enterprise
which each one recognized as re
ligious in its rise, imperative in its de
mands, and magnificent in its propor
tions. Feeling that it was already en
throned in the hearts of the people
and that the great ends contemplated
commended it to an intelligent and
liberal minded public, wo incurred the
risks of delay, and adopted the reso
lution—lo voting for, 3 against it.
Speaking for myself I wanted overy
subscriber, at every point, to undor
staud tho nature, design and conduct
of this school. If any had to be dis
satisfied simply because a respectable
and liberal denomination, hitherto suc
cessful in its educational projects, pro
posed to organize and conduct a first
class school for tho education and not
indoctrination of the boys, a little tiwo
would eliminate that element. I con-
fess to no sympathy for, and would
not woo or wed any idea or element,
be it little or large, that would have
crushed Mercer, Emory or Oglethrope,
and by crushing fearfully diminish tho
mental wealth and material develop
ments of our State. Now what these
are to the State at large, our Institu
tion would be to South West Ga.
Suppose the citizens of Sumter,
Sc h 'ey Lee and Webster should suc
ceed ui having the school located at
Americu..'* —Can it be done ? Yes.
At tho rec ent meeting of tho Board,

organization like this availing itself of
tho present popular proposition and

lieiinducod by August harvests and
Sept, sales could not fail to secure am -
ple means, and with this secured the,
size, situation, healthf'uluess and other
recommendations of the city would so
curo the location.
Such a school located in Americas
would be permanent. Various causes
would conspire to this oud. Anil be
ing such it would be a success, only
growiug better after years—located
here, citizens of these counties could
educate their sons at or near their
homos. This point of parental over
sight, meeting with more ease tho ex
penses of tuition or board—keeping
hundreds of dollars at home to im
prove our condition or rid us in help
ing others would boa credit to our
heads, an incalculable advantage to
our pockets anil a lasting monument
to South West Gu’s long lost but now
returning reason.
At present the months of May,
June and July find us bread and moat
beggars. With a soil adapted to tho
greatest variety of products we aro
poor simply because we persist in pur-,
chasing everything and education
abroad, when cheaper and better pro-!
ducts might be grown at our doors.
The above plan proposes to abridge
the winter of our discontent, to con
vert hewers of w ood and drawers of
water info real estate owners-—into
princes und lords—success to your
Rail Road enterprises. Your city'
will stand, dwindle, die unless you
furnish additional artories, but, in tho
language of another (whose judg
ment all respect) “No one Rail Road
would be equal to the High School ’
is entitled to profound consideration.
tu conclusion permit me to say that
ray connection with this enterprise
springs from a Pastoral relation. I
have no disposition to toaso tho public
Yio ambition to gratify, no lukewarm
ness to soar, no friends to reward, no
enemies to punish, and no intention
to force tho Institution upon your city
especially when so many places are
clamorous. Should your citizens pre
fer tho eld “rut” I will behavo myself
as a weaned child.
Should they incline as I believe they
will to a broader, firmer tiack,
iny-hands will loud their willing might.
All I ask is concurrence and freedom
to act. Twonty mon such as I com
bined will make this School a success.
But wo must act. What say you V
Respectfully

AsiEiucrs Distbict Ilian ScnooL—
Those of our citizens who have given
this subject sufficient thought to ena
ble them to appreciate tho great im
fiortanco of securing this male college
for that’s what it will be) to Cuthbort
should w'ork diligently to arouse tho
peoplo generally. Just at this time—
with the other interprises promisod
our city—this high school for males is
j ust the thing we want.
For real benefit to Cuthbert—the
addition to population—and increase
of value of city property—we feel per
fectly safe in saying that this school, if
secured, will be worth moro to us than
either of the new railroads so soon to
run their iron horses into our city.
Many planters in the counties below
us, are making anxious inquiry about
tliis matter. It would suit them ex
actly to live in Cuthbert, where both
their boys and girls can receive a col
legiate education, under their own
supervision, and they can reach their
plantations by a short ride on tlio rail
road,
Being a District institution—the
property and pet project of eight or ton
counties, it is estimated that two hun
dred boys will be brought to our city
to bo educated. To say nothing of
the largo number of valuable families
this schooi would cause to locate here
these students would bring thirty-five
or forty thousand dollars a year to be
spent in Cuthbert If a merchant
gives five hundred dollars— as some
have— to this object, and thereby adds,
five thousand dollars a year to bis
business, will it pay him to invest ? If
a man owns property in Cuthbert, or
near it, worth two thousand dollars
and the location of this school here
will add five hundred to the value of
this property, will it pay him to sub- 1
seribo ono, two or three hundred to
ward securing it ?
This is the practical view of the
matter. Will it pay ?is the main
question. This, however, is only one
of the mauy reasons why Cuthbert
sliouid determine to have this school.
If the committee appointed to .-sc- 1
licit subscriptions should fail to call
on you, hunt them up, and subscribe
liberally.
There will be a meeting at the 1
Court House on tbo first Tuesday in
August to compare notes, and see
wfiat has been done.
consider it one of tho most
pressing needs of our days that wo
should return to the sound practice of
constitutional government. The safe
guards of our common rights and lib
j erties contained in the Constitution
j are too sacred and valuable a boon to
| be permanenently jeopardized in pro
viding for a passing emergency. It is
time that tho American people open
their eyes to the dangerous character
of this tendency, and that neither a
great in me nor an object appealing to
j cur sympathies should disguise it. As
for me, I have seen the working of ir-
I responsible power and personal gov
ernment in other countries, and I may
assure my constituents that, while 1
am a citizen of this Kepublic, I shall
struggle to the last gasp against its in
troduction here.” —Carl Schurx at St.

The following from the Macon Tel
egraph <Sf Messenger, iu regard to Daw
sou is a merited compliment,—the on
ly surprising foaturo being an acknowl
edgement on the part of the writer,
and ho, too, dating his letter at Cuth
bert. that Daweon is in the race for t lie
District High School. Well, the
Cuthbert people may not have to use
spectacles to see what Dawson is, but
some of our Americus friends could
not see anything to recommend us even
with gold ones, and w»» dare say if
the following letter hud boon written
from that Athens of S. W. Ga., and it
had been circulated, the author would
have had to take the first freight that
passed, or foot passage, as we fell as
sured ho could not have remained for
tho arrival of the rogular passenger.
EDUCATIONAL —DAWSON.
At present the rival towns within
the limits of this Methodist District
are much exercised concerning tho lo
cation of tho Male High School about
to be established. Cuthbert, Ameri
cus and Dawson aro all pressing their
claims. The latter little city offers to
plank down SIO,OOO in cash, and do
nate a beautiful site comprising 20
acres. Neglected by the new railroad
combinations, she is yet a power with
in herself, and her more pretentious
1 rivals must bestir themselves or lose
the tempting prize.
j It always affords us pleasure to note
and chronicle the evidences, that Goor
gia, our own glorious old common
wealth, despite the upas of Radical
misrule, is rising in her majesty, and
shaking off “liko dew drops from a
lion’s mane” the foul parasites and
* vampires, yclept carpet-baggers, which
so long drained her vital energies.
| In Dawson this is especially the
case. A few years since a wilderness,
whose solitude was only broken by the
I melancholy sighting of tho wind
j through the lofty pines, she now pre
sents tho appearance of a thrifty town
of two thousand inhabitants, instinct
with life and energy. During the past
season 13,000 bales of cotton were re
! ceivod in her warehouses, and forty
stores and places of business attest tho
extent and importance of her trade.
It is hero, too, that the celebrated
car factory of Mr. O. O. Nelson which
employs 75 mechanics, is located.
This gentleman owns three saw mills,
which cut from yellow heart pine all
the lumber required for his business.
Two cars every day, or twelve per
week, valued at S9OO each, can be
turned out, aud orders ev*en from dis
tant States aro now flowing in. Ev
ery part of the car, save the wheels, is
manufactured at tho shops, and this
is equal to a gold mine
to tho village. Three large brick
stores arc building upon the site of the
late fire.
■ Success to all of our inland towns
They indicate a general distribution of
capital, intelligence and enterprise,
which tell far more upon tho prosperi
ty of the country, th an the existence of
isolated metropolitans centres, which

The Present und I'nliire Pros
perity of Georgia.
Ex-Gov. Brown, in his speech at
Gainesviilo on the 4th inst., said :
“We have passed through a terri
ble .revolution that has swept over tho
land with a destruction that has sel
dom been equaled. But during all
that period wo have tho pride to know
that wo acted our part liko men, aud
nowhere was that part acted moro no
bly than it was in Northeastern Goor
gia. The fortunes of war decided
against us, and we lost a larger por
tion of the property of the State, and
wero thrown back upon our own re
sources again ; but wo went to work
with an energy that was commenda
ble, with a will that knew no yielding,
and with an industry that was indom
itable, and wo are fast emerging from
the sad condition into which we ware
thrown, and rapidly repairing our
shattered fortunes. I speak not now
as to who was wrong in that struggle
—woof tho South, or they of the
North. I believe there was an over
ruling Providence guiding all, and
that God used the passions of men to
accomplish a grand object that will
one day make our country greater and
grander than it otherwise would have
been. Wo did not see it so then, we
may not fully realize it now ; but the
time had come when slavery was to be
abolished, and when the millions and
even the billions of dollars invested in
this institution was to be swept away.
Interwovon as it was with every fibre
of our society, it was impossible for it
to be eradicated in any other way than
by war, revolution, and bloodshed.—
And Ho who rules tho destinies of
men, of nations, and of armies, de
termined to use our passions for that
purpose, and wo w r ere brought into
conflict, and the object was accom
plished. But, I believe, as I have al
ready intimated, that the result of
that struggle is the dawn of a bright
er day, though wo did not so regard it
at the time. Those who owned slaves
were raising up their children in ef
feminacy, and luxury, aud no race of
peoplo raised without labor will bo
hardy,seLveliant citizens.
Yol muD go out among the mass
of the people w here there is muscle
and nerve and will and energy, and
where they labor, if you would find a
prosperous people, a peoplo that will
gnally and ultimately triumph over
adversity. Although the result of the
war impoverished thousands and tens
of thousands of the best families in
the South, yet wo shall raise up a bet
ter class of men than wo would if it
liad not occurred, Thus we will recu
perato our scattered energies and our
fallen fortunes. •"
I notico from the report of tho hon
orable Comptroller General, whose let
ter has been read before you, who was
reared among you, who has your con
fidence —and w'ho richly merits your
confidence, for he has been faithful
and efficient in tlio discharge of the
high office that has been conferred
upon him—that during the last year
the taxable value of the property of
Georgia has increased over twonty-ono
millions of dollars, and all this in a
single year ! At this rate of increase,
we shall, in a few years, reach the
point of prosperity to which w T e had
attained before tho commencement of
the struggle, when the taxable prop
erty iu Georgia amounted to seven
hundred millions of dollars. Wo shall
not only reach this point, but wo shall
go far beyond it. We should have
gone backward under the old system.
Under the new we shall go onward
and forward in a steady and constant
increase of material prosperity. (Ap

Sen a I or Trumbull on Women's
Bights and Usui iialiOns*
Senator Trumbull, of 111., made a
Fourth of July speech at Gatesburg,
in that State, in which after congrat
ulating ihe country on tho recent trea
ty and the avoidance of war with En
gland, he is thus reported.
“Ho then paid a glowing tributo to
the laws of the United States, accorded
jnstico and protection to all alike, and
expressed himself decidedly in. favor
of the elevation of woman, and hoped
the day was not distant when women
would receive tho same pay for the
same service as men. The right of
women, he continued, to participate in
the government of the country when
ever they ask for it cannot be denied
and a nation would be all tho better
and purer for their participation. He
condemned the exercise of war power
in time of peace. In a time of peace a
man should be tried by Jury, but in
time of war an armed rebel should be
shot Attempts Lad been made to
clothe the Executive with too much
power, and centralization was the
great danger of a republic. Local
governments are the safegard of liber
ty* -while the Federal government is
only needed to protect the citizen.
Liberal and kindly action on the part
of the general government was needed
to heal the wound of the South.

The gold market makes strong ef

ously enough, the new loan is a fizzle,
which shows that there is something
the matter with the terms of the loan;
for the credit of the government is

ABBEY FOR THE BEST
SEWING WMWm
IN THE_WORLD.
T have secured the Agency for the
* celebrated
FLORENCE SEWING MACHINE,
and an? prepared, from a personal
kuowiedge of it, as well as by certifi
cates from thrse who have used them,
to testify to its superior excellence.
The following are the advantages
claimed for this Machine over all oth
ers ;
It is the only kind of Machine that
mflkes four kinds of stitch, three of
which are made on no other Machine
and are stronger and more elastic than
any other.
It is the only Machine that can sew
in more than one direction, having a
reversible feed.
It has an improved bemmer, ma
king any wid h of hem, and easily
managed, owned exclusively by the
Florence Company.
It will hem anything and make
perfect corners
It hem*, fells, cords, braids, tucks,
qui'ts, braids, gathers, &e„ without
basting.
It makes a gather and sews it to a
band at one operation perfectly, (un
equaled in this )
It is the only Machine having a self
adjusting shuttle tension —a gr at im
provement over all others, rendering
it easy to do good work on any fabric
It fastens the epd of a seem better
and quicker than a seamstress can.
The Florence Sewing Machine is
simple in construction, and requires so
little to change for anv kind of work,
that its operation can be easily under
stood.
Every part is sttong and durable ;
its motions are all positive, not depen
dent on tbo variable and uncertain ac
tion of springs, hence it is almost im
possible tor a Florence Machine to get
really out of order, or not to sew if
threaded right.
Tho Machines are warranted in
every particular.
I intend every Florence Machine I
sell shall give entire satisfaction, sus
tainiig its reputation as being the
most reliable Sewing Machine in use.
All 1 ask is for you to try the Machine.
Read below certificates from Mrs
Flarrison Rogers, and Mrs. T. J. Hart.
The former has had one of these Ma
chines in constant u ; e for three years.

CERTIFICATES:
I b&vn been using tho Florence
Sewing M icb ne constantly for three
years. Jt has never given me any
