Messenger that Prof. Good win lias accepted a proffossorship in tho Troy Femalo College. If this be true, and wo do not doubt it, it wil bs noccessary for the board of trustees of Owen Nelson Institute to Lave a mooting and fill the vacancy. We now have for sale at the Jour nal Office the completo history of the Ames Circus Tragody, containing all tho facts in tho case as deducted from witnesses on tho stand, together with 6uch other matter as go to make an interesting pamphlet. See advertise ment. This section has been visited with an abundance of rain for the past two weeks, and tho farmer’s faces are now as long on account of wot weath er, as they wero previously on account of dry weather. Fall turnips avo now being planted, by all who have ground and can afford to buy seed. Mark Moses, who danced himself out of Cuthbert jail a few weeks ago was arrested tho othor day, and is now offered another opportunity of repeat ing the caper. Whether or not he will have as gyod music for tlio trial of the projoct tho second timo, remains alto gether with the jailor at Cuthbert. Personal. —Wo had a pop-call from friend Christian of the Cuthbert Ap peal the other day, who reported that city improving quite rapidly. Various projects are on foot for tho advance ment of her interests in a commercial point of view. Wo have net yet heard of a rumor looking to tho ditelling the Chattahoochee so as to make Cuthbert sport of entry. New Jail. —Dr. Carter, of Lump kin, has taken the contract to build the new Jail at fifty-tliree hundred Mars, to be finished by the 4th Mon day in November. Tho Doctor has peat roputation as a jail builder, and Te confidently expect to bo able to boast of the best jail in South" ff est Georgia. The Doctor lias pntin his jail for a premium at the lair. Wo would suggest to him tho propriety of offering a premium for tho first prisoner who makes his es cape therofrom Phivate I’liKMirus, —It is probable that the committee on premiums to bo offered at the Fair have not covered jhe whole ground, and that some very wiportant branches of industry have been left out. Wo suggest to tho ‘fiends of the Association to oxamino closely the list, and to offer privato premiums to supply tho deficiency.— lids, in our opinion, will add much to he enterprise, and in many instances *>ll not cost the person offering tho premium one dollar.

Communicated. Morality. In our first article wo presented the elements of unanimity and committal, as proven by our community towards our school enterprises. In this wo discuss tho question of our morality. Herein wo fear that Dawson has boen prejudged, misrepresented and slandered. I fear that her reputation has been and is at discount. It is with communities as with individuals often in this regard. Many an innocent man boars tho sins of the guilty. Circum stances often impugn an innocent par ty- Misfortune is tho lot of commu nities as well as of individuals. Tho human heart naturally loves to repro bate and condemn. Especially is this 6(7if rivalry or solf-interost is involved. But let us look to facts. Lot us abido the testimony of facts. Dawson is willing to übido facts and history. She would not sail undor false colors. She is ready to own her true, but not hor fictitious reputation. Facts and fig ures shall now bo the basis of our ar guments. Our statistical data aro vor itablo. Tho aggregate population of Daw son is about 2000. Os this aggre gate, about 1500 aro whites, and about 500 are colorod. Number of membors in tho Meth odist Church, 225 Number of mombers in tho Baptist Church, 125 Number of pupils and teachers in Methodist Sunday School, 185 Number of pupils and tcaeliors in Baptist Sunday School, . 100 Number of members of other Churches, about 50 We have a Young Men’s Prayer- Meeting and Christian Association. It is large, influential and growing. It is not an experiment, It ha3 long been in vigorous and successful oper ation. Souls liavo boon convortod through its agency. Do not these statistics show a very fair proportion of tho population of Dawson to bo religious if Is not the proportion favorable to the cause of religion ? Is not the evidence from this source presumptive in favor of re ligion ? What of our Sunday School statistics ? Is not this suggestive of a wholesome, popular religious convic tion in this community ? Might not Dawson, without disposition to vaunt, but from a desiro of justice, challenge comparison with her neighbors ? We trust that our membership is as ex emplary and faithful as that of our neighbors, and that our prospects for futuro existenco and progress are as good. We would not derogate from others —we only defend ourselves W o would not insituate against our neigh bors, but only seek that justice which they so highly prize. The feeling of reprobation is too often indjscriminat ing. Let us noto the statistics of our town in the benevolent Orders : Number of mombers in tho Lodge of Free Masons, Ho Number of membors in the Lodge of Odd Fellows, . _ 30 Number of members in tho Lodge of Good Templars, 130 Number of members in the Lodgo of Cold Water Templars, 07 Where is the community that can render a better exhibit in favor of practical morality in proportion to its population ? Those Orders aro vig orous and activo. They are zealously emulating each other in the great work ot practical benoficenco. They are justly proud of the living trophies that daily reward their labors of love. Emulation herein is the Spirit of our people. Tho large membership, the enthusiasm that animates it, tho activ- ity that characterizes these Orders, bo gpioak a social life hero of no or dinary typo. It is sowing good seod. Wo are daily garnering some of this blessed harvest. Wo note their amel iorating influenco on ourselves and in our family sanctums. Our children in Dawson, through this effectivo agency, aro made potent in conserving tho manners and morality of our com munity. It is proper to state here that there are only two housos m Dawson that retail whiskey. Our Municipal Government ought not to be ignored at this point. It is eminently promotivo of morality and propriety. It is vigilant in enforcing law and order. Crime and disor der of every kind is certainly detected, promptly and fully punished. Our Municipal laws and regulations aro eminently preservative of morality, re ligion and propriety. The number of arrests during the present administra tion has boon very small. For ape. riod of seven months there have been only twonty violations of the City Ordinances. . Lot us n cw briefly apply m ccndu sion the argument of this article to tho question before us. Can there be any risk in locating a male school in such a community? Do these facts and such a social history justly impeach the moral, social and religious integrity of our community? Do we hero gen erate and imbibe a moral and social atmosphere deleterious to the youth of our country? llavo all those safe guards, all those auxiliaries that tho infirmities of youth demand no guar antee to afford for tho preservation of tlioso committed to us ? What does universal oxperienco teach on this point? Lot those who would reprobate us in thoso respects study moro close ly their ovrn status. Let thoso who would snear and taunt Dawson invest themselves in tho immaculate robes of innocence. Let thoso who would de fame Dawson feel tho pulso of their own moral and social health, and do cido whether they bo in a sounder state. In our noxt articlo we propose to discuss tho lioalthfulness of Dawson. A Citizen. (To bo continued.) Goon Chopping.—Billy Sessions colored, brought too our office last week an ear of corn measuring about 12 inclios in length, and containing more than one thousand grains. Ho informed us that ho had several acres that would average as tho sample shown, and notwithstanding lio had made squashes answer for meat and broad this year he thought he was all right for next year. He says he is ashamed of a majority of his color for not succeeding better, and says the the reason is they don’t work ; and cites to himself as an instance o 1 what industry will do. Ho has a va riety of stock, and thinks he will be enabled to finish paying for an hun dred acres of land, now undor lii, ton trol, this year. Attention, Cotton Planters !

LOYLESS & GRIFFIN. aug3eow,4t. Agents, A I.ive Home Jotirmil Change. I.act October, Hearth and Home passed into the hands of Messrs. Or ango Judd & Cos. of 245 Broadway, New York, tho well known publishers of tho American Agriculturist —a jour nal long without a rival in sterling val ue and circulation. The marked im provements then expected to appear in Hearth and Home have been fully re alized, and it is now one of the choicest illustrated journals anywhere issued for tho family circle—adapted to both the juvenile and adult people, and meeting the special wants of tho house keeper. Besides it supplies very use ful chapters for the garden and farm, and an important news sliest, giving a valuable resume of tho nows for a week, up to the moment of issue. From]ssQo to SBOO worth of very lino engravings beautify each weekly number. We notice now a still further mark of en terprise on the part of tho publishers; they have secured tho exclusive edito rial servicos of Edward Eggleston, so widely and favorably known by liis writings in Scribner's Monthly, and many othor Mugazinesand Journals, and especially as tho cheif superinten ding Editor of tlio New York Independ ent for some timo past. With this no table addition to tho largo and strong editorial force, Hearth and Home can not fail to merit and to command a prominent place in every household, iu city, village, and country. Speci men copies can doubtless be obtained of the publishers as above. Terms only $3 a year. Single copies eight cents. Hearth and Home and American Agri culturist together, $4 a year. Better add ono or both to your supply of reading ; they aro each worth infinite ly more than the small cost. iHARKm Dawson, August 17th. —Cotton, 15 cts. for middlings; no change in gro cery market since our last; stocks of bacon large.

Spiciffl Notices. Debility and Emaciation. Both result from the luck of ability to con vert the food into nutriment. How necessa ry then, for those suffering lrom these alarm ijg symptoms to immediately resort to a remedy that will strengthen tho storaifth and digestive organs. For, as soon as this desir able object has been accomplished the health improves, and the patient resumes his usual personal appearance, ilostetter s Stomach Bitters have attained a world-wide populari ty iu such cases, and have been proven the best and safest means of removing constipa tion, toning the stomach, giving energy to the liver, and relieving every symptom ot nervousness and depression of cheering and beneticiul effects arc highly spoken of by thousands, who owe to it their restoration to health. No restorative iu the annals of medicine has attained the same popularity in the short spnee of time it has been before the public, or has won the high endorsements accorded to this excellent ton ic. Mi ny other preparatien’, purporting to be correctives and restoratives, have been i Produced, and have perished, one by one, while tho popularity of lfostetter’s Stomach Bitters continues to increase, and in now re cognized as a standard household medicine. The success which attends the use of the Bitters evinces at odcc its virtues in all cases of debility and disease of the stomach, Cer tificates, almost without number, have been published, attesting its truly miraculous pow er in removing those painful and tearful *lis« eases. And at this time it seems idle to do more tban call attention to the great reme ! ,lv of the age, in order to awaken public at tenton to its excelence.

ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF The fwrimvoUl Gin, THE UNDERSIG NED, having resumed the manufacture of the above Gin, pr pose to make it what it was before tho war—“Tbe favorite of the South.” Our work stands upon its merits, and we think litis a sufficient guar antee. We have secured the services of sorno of the best mechanical talent in the Northern shops, in sddition to some of the best workmen from the shop of the late Samuel Griswold. Mr. Chus. Gardner, who served eight years apprenticeship under E Carver & Cos., at East Bridgewater, Mass., and who was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells shop, from tho com meucemoiit of the manufacture of the Moore Cotton Giu, until i's suspension, is again at bis post, and wi l give each Gin bis personal inspection b< tore it leaves the shop. in calling the atlentLn of planters to our Cotton Gins, we desire that they should notice tho improvements we offer, which aro substantially as follows ; 3Y PORTABLE ROLL BOX, For obtaining any inclination of tho Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of which in to improve in tbe quantity ginned, lessen tho quantity and improve tbe quality ot lint. A'so, to gin damp or wot cotton; to alter the picking or separating tbe lint from the seed—either to take more lint off, nr less lint from the seed, ns circumstances require. We use both the common Roll Box and a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to let out all the seeds and hulls in a moment, and is very easily managed. THE GIN BRUSH Wo meke, cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. Tho bristles aro nil dtaw n in by a cord, and the timber is nil selected from the best, lumbor, well seasoned • and every brush is made perfectly fire arid rat proof.

COTTON SEED dltJSliljSTQ Mll/L. Wo are the only successful manufacturers of this important and useful in vention—the Cotton Gin, with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardlv be necessary here to allude to the immense saving and economical use of crushed. cotton seed as a manure. We received a gold medal as a pre miiim, from the Fair of the Cotton Flutter ’a Convention, held in Macon, Gn., 1800 for the best Cot ton deed Crusher attached to tho Gin Stand, to crn«h the seed as fast as it escapes from the Roll. We refer to some of tho many certificates that we have on the subject. TLIAIL OF GlNri. We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it leaves the shop —old cr now oucs. IMAPAI RI NG OF OLD GINS. We have a complete assortment of tho very best Cotton Gin Machinery in the country, and make repairing of old Gins a specialty.

The following are the advantages claimed for this Machine over all oth ers : It is the only kind of Machine that makes four kinds of stitch, three of which nre made on no other Machine and are stronger and more elastic than any other. It is the Only Machine that can sevV in more than o tie detection, having a' reversible feed.

It will hem anything and maktf perf tot corners ' Il hem-, fells, cofds, braids, tucks, quilts, braids, gathers, &c„ without hasting. It makes a gather and sews it to a hand at one operation perfectly, (un equal ed in this ) It is the only Machine having a self adjusting shuttle tension—a gfegt im provement over all others, rendering it easy to do good work on any fabrio It fastens the end of a shem bettef and quicker than a seamstress can: . The Florence Sewing Machine is simple in construction, and requires so little to change for nnv kind of work, that its operation can be easily under-' stood. Every part is strong and durable j its motions are all positive, not depen dent on the variable and uncertain ac tion of springs, hence it is almost im possible for a Florence Machine to get' really out of order, or not to sew if thronded right.
