Never did they appear in the halcyon
days of the past, more lovely and attrac

the Southron, on the contrary, who does
not cherish a feeling akin to reverence,
for filial affection, sublime self-abnega

tender ministrations in the hospital;
their ardent patriotism in the darkest
days of tho late bloody conflict; and their
subsequent fortitude and devotion to
duty, when struggling in the dismal vale
of poverty and adversity. God bless the

right to that no matter who they are.
We cannot imagine greater distress
lias uiust prevail among them or any
■ .m s- more worthy our efforts than their
relief. Their condition demands speedy

iiitv. We trust Mat-on will do something

isn't afford a dollar, or sren fifty cents,
give a quarter. The grout point is to

own flesh and blood call to us out of the

the heart sick even to imagine. Let us

There seems to bo a growing feeling
of diaeont. nt with the prvwent system of
edacatwo, judging from tho signs that
tun almost ror-tantly cropping out
through the press and other mediums of
public sent client. Professor Agassis put
ths case vary plainly wbenjho anid that
oar ehildn-n aaw still taught “the tra

and ths Baltimore (huettc thinks that
"when the clown at the circus asserts
that he has la-on through college, and
nftsrward explain.-1 to the mystified ring-
■nast.r that h« Went in at the front door
and out at the hack, he was not being
very far from defining the course of
msny n graduate."
Theiv may be some exaggeration in
the*, expressions, but it is certainly true
that them ia too much haste to learn
many things, and hardly any at all to
lawn anything well. There scuui* to be
too feverish n desire to build quickly and
of many stories, and too little to see that

a commodious and elegant edifice suita
ble to the requirements of a first-class
high school.
For several years, Mr. S. Bates, well
known as an experienced and admirable
educator of youth, has had charge of the
institution. A thorough scholar himself,
and Christian gentleman, parents may
with perfect safety, confide their children
to his care.
The discipline of the school too, ia ex
cellent, and the pupils are not only faith
fully instructed, but are taught and re
quired to conduct themselves with pro
priety and decorum. On the morning of
the late opening 130 pupils presented
themselves—more than could be possibly
accommodated at present. Mr. Bates in
his selections very properly endeavors to
single out those likely to be permanent
in their attendance, that belabors may
not be thrown nwny. Wo consider the
Alexander school one of the best in the
State, and its generous founder, long since
gathered to hisTathers, could have erected
no more enduring monument to perpet
uate his memory.

We hear much of the needs of Georgia,
respect to capital and labor. Georgia
wants neither capita! nor Libor more than
she has got, to secure to her a perms
nent prosperity. She simply wonts more
work and closer economy out of those
that are already here. If every farmer
would set out the next year, determined
to keep his farm and moke that farm
keep him, he ia bound to prosper. There
is no man with ordinary health ami intel
ligence but can by cultivating' the
soil make more meat,' bread ami cotton
than he and his family eun possi
bly consume. Suppose then that ev
ery farmer were to determine that
ho shall live within oml by the
fruits of his own farm. If he is dili
gent he is bound to make a surplus, and
whenever there is a surplus in the 1 lands
of eveiy farmer there is prosperity at
once. Whenever the farm pays, factories
will be built and pay, and so of all other
enterprises; but fanning is obliged to pay
first in order to produce the surplus we
call capital which creates these enterprises.
Georgia has more need for one man
who accumulates and lays up one hun
dred dollars a year by his farm, than
one hundred miles of railroad, or a
hundred factories. Formers compose our
population, and what do they want with
railroads, canal* ami cotton factories, if
they have not a surplus dollar to spend
on them f We do not want a canal to
lay down corn and bacon from Iowa. We
want the disposition and common sense
to make these things at home. We do
not want “spun Luck” from factory
looms, ready to our hand* for the money;
bat we want that these things should be
made at home for our wives and daugh
ters without the necessity of paying for
Thb same paper tolls this story:

his mnscles, the wood was cut in a twink

him ooliloquixe: "Mighty fine lady!

New York, September 14.—The Lon
don Telegraph describes the unveiling of
the Victoria column on the anniversary
of the capitulation of Sedan. The cor
respondent says:
At 8 o'clock the trumpeters of the Im
perial garde du corps, stationed on the
roof of the Royal Casefe, sounded forth a
chorale, “Honor Alone to God on High"—
•‘Allien Got in der Huh sei Ehr”—thus
characteristically and in keeping with
the Prussian devotional feeling beginning
the day with a kind of religious act. Short
ly afterward the whole garrison of Berlin
was marched to Koenigslarta, with bonds
playing and colors displayed, to take up
I nisi turns around the Victoria monument.
The members of the royal family now be
gan to arrive, and the pavillion was soon
filled. Thunders of cheering from the
Theerg-arton, followed by the bourse com
mands of officer* and clashing of muskets
and sabres, as the troops come to “ at
tention f* signalled the approach of the
Emperor, who immediately afterwards
rode up to the pavillion, attended by a
brilliant staff and was received with the
Prussian anthem and a general salute.
Immediately behind him rode the Crown
Prince, whilst slightly to the rear of tho
present and future Emperors rode the
Princes Frederick Charles, Albrecht and
Karl. During a full lraif hour’s wait for
tire arrival of all these royalties Prince
Bismarck liatl been sitting alone outside
the enclosure. When the Emperor ar

riding forward, reoeip.il his -sovereign’s
hearty greeting, anti took hi- place in the
Emperor’s staff irmuediatefolio wing. After
saluting tho rcyul holies, his Majesty rode
round the pavillion and halted Ids charger
a little to its right, immediately opposite
the clergy. Then raising bis sword he
gave the signal for the trumpet to sound
and the drum to heat to praises. This
done, the choir sung two verses of the

the sun was shining fiercely at the time,

monument had been erected. Again the
trumpets sounded, tbe drums rolled.

General Buckner’s Fortune
Reclaimed.
Something of a romance is connected
with tbe recent return to Mr*. Buckner,
the wife of Gen. S. B. Buckner, the late
Confederate General, of Kentucky, of a
certain large property whi.h, when the
war broke out,, she had conv^-ed to her
brother. When Gen. JBuckner entered
the Confederate service, and before Mrs.
B. joined him there, she conveyed the
property to her brother under a deed of
trust- The young man afterwards mar
ried, becomes father, and entered the
Union service. Hie question now was,
what would be done with the property.
If he should die or be killed with-

Agricultural Report.
Washington, September 17.—The sta
tistician of the department of agriculture,
Mr. Dodge, has returned from Europe,
and after a careful re vision of the month-
Iy 'returns, gives -the following as the
present status of the ootton in-op. The
: ndicated increase of area is a little over
10 per cent. The condition of the crop is
higher than in September of last year in
Arkansas, the same in Tennessee, and
lower in each of the other cotton States.
Worms have been more abundant, yet
their ravages have been disastrous or
sweeping in a few cases. •
The season has been remarkable for its
rainfall, tending to a farther depreciation
of the crop; otherwise, the condition has
been quite favorable. Fertilizers hare
stimulated the growth, and labor has been
steadier and more reliable. The averages
ere as follows: Virginia, 9S; North Caro
lina, 95; South Carolina, 86; Georgia, 90;
Florida, 85; Alabama, 85; Mississippi, 92;
Louisiana, 80; Texas, 92; Arkansas, 83 ;
Tennessee, 92; Missouri, 96.
In September, 1872, all averages were,
Virginia, 97; North Carolina, 101; South
Carolina. 9.5; Georgia, IH>; Florida, 92;
Alabama, 88; Mississippi, 90; Louisiana,
86; Texas, 84; Arkansas 78; Tennessee,
92. Cotton fields in North Carolina gen
erally make a fine show of vigorous and
fruitful plants, the exceptions resulting
more from the falling of forms and bolls
in consequence of too abundant rain-fall,
than from the presence of worms. In
South Carolina similar damages from ex
cessive rain occur, and the caterpillars
threaten a partial or total destruction of
the crops.
In several counties the crop appears
better in Georgia than in any other State
east of the Mississippi. Though there is
some injury from rust and heavy rains
and the catterpillar, the present in force
in many counties; but generally came
too late to cause more than a small per
cent, of loss.
The injury from worms and the sea
son's necessitudes in Florida are some
what greater, amounting to 15 per cent,
depredation in the condition of the crops.
The caterpillar appeared in portion of
Alabama towards the last of July, but
its ravages have not been ruinous until
recently, in certain counties, having been
held in check to some extentby tbe use
of. poisons, pit hough efforts to combat
the pest have not been generall.
In some counties in Mississippi the
plant is shedding leaves and forms from
rains, in other from drought. Rust ap
peared in some localities, and both cater
pillars and boll worms are doing local
damage in shortening the life of the
plant without much injury to the bottom
and middle crops.
The crop of Louisiana lacks uniformity;
Carroll returning 1,000 bales and Caddo
40; Tensas, 85; Rapids, 33. In some
parishes worms have been present with
out doing much damage, while losses
have been heavy in others.
There is a similar range of condition in
Texas from very good to quite poor,
though, the average is much higher.
Worms have appeared in many parts
of Arkansas, with little prospect of dam
age, except to the top crop. The average
condition of the crop is much higher than
in September of last year.
Prospects are ab*o good in Tennessee.
Several oounties in MisHjuri make re
turns which have never before made
mention of that crop.

Report of New Orleans Cotton Ex
change.
New Orleans, September 17.—The
Cotton Exchange Commissioner on in
formation and statistics, under date of
the 16th inst., makes the following re
port, condensed from letters received
1 rom August 31st to September 12th, in
answer to our interrogatories sent out
during the month of August: Mississip
pi sends fifty-four answers from thirty-
nine counties. Reports are very con
flicting in regard to the weather, some
complaining of too mnch, and some of
too little rain. Caterpillars and boll
worms have nearly everywhere ap-
; >eared, and while they have done
jut little damage on some plant
ations, on others they have cut short
the prospects very considerably. Great
fear is expressed that the top crop will
be entirely lost, especially when the plant
is backward. Complaints of rots and
rust are likewise serious.
The yield will hardly compare with last
year, and that with uncertain weather
and further depredations from worms,
the result will be materially curtailed.
In Louisiana, from two parishes we re
ceived 30 answers, 13 of wnich report too
much rain and nine dry and more favor
able weather. Caterpillars, which are
reported in great numbers throughout the
State, have already done considerable
damage and still continue their devasta
tions. Rot and rust have also injured
crops to some extent and especially in
those parishes reporting rainy weather.
Picking has generally commenced. One
parish, that of Union, reports a greater
yield than last year, while the balance re
port a shorter crop.
Texas.—Fifty letters have been received
from 48 couuties. The general character
of the weather has been favorable, since
last report most complaint being from the
counties bordering on the Gulf. We have
much complaint of damage by army and
boll worms, but little from rot and rust.
