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 ditionary learning of the middle, ages;" 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."

With a portion of this it is in contemplation at on early day,in crogt. 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.

September 1st and 3d. The lost week, is now at his resi dence, near the city, and has nearly en tirely recovered from his recent attack. 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: A negro man, who hops about on one leg and sees things with but one eye, happened to be at work in the Baptist Church cemetery the other ilay. whin a colored woman came along and obliged him by allowing him to cut her a "turn” of wood.

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.

During a full lraif hour’s wait for tire arrival of all these royalties Prince Bismarck liatl been sitting alone outside the enclosure.

But the most electrifying popular ovation of the day was that accorded to Prince Bis marck. who, as he cantered round in suit, his hand to bis helmet's brim and his face lighted up by a stern smile, was greeted with such cheering as was never lefore heard in Germany. Ladies sprang upon benches and waved their handker chiefs, blending a shrill, piercing up ward note with the tenor shout and boss roar of a frantic chorus of cheers that burst from two hundred thousand throats, as the author of Germany's unity and champion of her State rights rode proud ly by the greatest man of his age, the mighty servant of a noble master, the living and acknowledged leader of the whole German race. It was a great day for Germany, a greater for Prussia, but greatest of all for Otto Von Bismarck, whose reward has been proclaimed un mistakably by German lips from the very depths of the German heart. -t QL General Buckner’s Fortune Reclaimed. Something of a romance is connected with tbe recent return to Mr*. Buckner, the wife of Gen. S. B.

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.

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. Internal Revenue Decision. The Commissioner of Internal Reve nue calls attention to the act of Congress of December 24, 1872, requiring every person liable to the special tax, to exhibit conspicuously in their place of business the stamp denoting the payment of such tax, and directs that persons engaged in selling tobacco or cigars on railroad trains railjpad collided four miles above Colum bia this”morning, at 20 minutes post nine smashing both locomotives, and killing paymaster W.

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. Council Proceedings. Called Meetino. *) Council Chamber, Sept. 11, 1873. j Present—J. W.
