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 county. The meeting was organized by re questing Judge Elijah Padgstt to take the chair, after which J. John Beck, ■Esq was elected Secretary.

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, -he trustees i; - om this city carried up a ‘ ■ nd.-omo reliable subscriptionamount . to a few thousand dollars and, 1 give I'J’S my opiuiou, that had the argu a® ‘sen presented Airforicus would ruent V.

An organization like this availing itself of tho present popular proposition and the sense ol security that will bo su 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 J. B. McGEUEE. 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. Louis. Dr. Y eager is assistant nows editor of the Atlanta Constitution. 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 soein to absorb the wealth and resour ces of the entire peoplf.

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 plause ) — Atlanta New Era.

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.
