Gwinnett Atlas. UA>, W'Kb.MCSDAY Morniso, Aroowr 16, 1871. Agricultural C’onveutioir, I’-he State Agricultural Con veil 'ttiih assembled in the city of Rome on the Bth instant. It was, per haps, the largest agricultural con vention ever convened in the State—three-fourths of the coun ties and all the clubs of the M'He were represented. ItAprVtsCnt.V tives front the Scal‘d Siteteries of South Carolina Ail'd Florida were also prtifeiA. It w-#ts a fine looking body of tafftir, and included some ’Of first tfilPnt of the State. — .Vfnong the distinguished gentle men present, we noticed Hon. J. E. Brown, Gen. A. It. Wright, i no. B. Gordon, Judge William Scldoy, Judge David A. V a son, Gen. Win. M. 11 dwue, editor Farm & Home, the venerable Maik A. Cooper, who, We nnderstand, was Presi dent <>f the first agricultural soci ety of the Stab', C. W. Howard, editor of the Plantation, Hon. W P. Price, Gen. Young ami Hon. B. C. Yancey. At 3 p. m., (!cn. A. 11. Colquitt, the President, called the Conven tion to order, and opened its de liberations with one of the most sensible and practicable addresses w hich it has ever been our good fortune to hear, lie is emnently a practical man, fully alive to the gnat interest of the State, and laboring zealou.-ly to develop her agricultural and material resour ces. He is a plain, unassuming man, an earnest and impressive speaker, and makes an excellent presiding officer, combining a suav ity of manner which renders him accessible to all, and a decision of character which enables him to determine, without hesitation, any point raised before him. There is no man whom we would more cheerfully support for the next Governor of Georgia than General Colquitt. lie sought to demonstrate that there was no avocation in which success was more certain than in tilling the soil—none so use 1 til or important. Trade and commerce were hazardous, but with energy anil a proper system of culture, the farmer was bound to be suc cessful. He urged the importance of the farmer devoting himself ex clusively to his farm, reducing the acreage planted, making home more attractive, and banishing the idea of abandoning the cultiva tion oF the soil for any other pur suit. The want of success gener ally results from want of faith in our ability to succeed. lion Samuel Balnett, who had been appointed at the February session, a missionary to the sev eral county societies, made a re port showing the practical Work ings of the societies, the adapta tion of the different sections of the State to different crops, and the comparative improvement in cul tivation. Judgo Schley delivered an ud (lrons itpou the comparative value or commercial and home-made fer tilizers. This subject has for some time engaged the attention of the farming community, and it was discussed with great earnestness —the disputants seeming to be about as far apart at the close as at the beginning of the discus sion. It was disclosed in the course of the debate Iliac there was an enormous cheat practiced upon the planters in a great many of the worthless compounds palmed off upon the people. The great and absorbing ques tion w hich appeared to swallow up nil others ill interest and feeling, was, where shall the .Agricultural College be located? Congress, in 1862, passed an act giving to each State thirty thousand dollars for cadi Representative, in land script, which might, like a land warrant, be 1 cated upon the public lands, as permanent endowment for an agricultural college. No part of fbia fund was to be used for build ing? or repairs, but it was a Con ditiou precedent tn receiving the fund, tha tVe Utato should make ample provisjou tu the way of buildings, etc, When these lands are sold, tlie money arising from tile salt is to be invested in State O.r United States securities, dravr 'tig not less than five per cent, in terest. By tin act passed after the Wat', the provisions of this act were extended to the Southern States, and they were allowed fiie years within which to accept and comply with its provisions. This is the last year, and the Legisla ture is expected, at its next ses sion-* to make provision for the State ‘'Complying with the require ments of the law. It was presumed that that body w onld be influenced, to some ex tent, by the recommendation of the Agricultural Convention of the State, and hence the anxiety manifested by the representatives of different localities, to secure that recommendation. Millodge ville put in her claims—her loca tion was central; the State alrea dy owned two fine buildings there —the Capitol and Executive Man- j sion—uliicli were now almost en-j tirely worthless to the State, since the Capitol had been removed to Atlanta. It would save an im mouse outlay, of money, for at any other point an appropriation would have to be made to provide the necessary buildings. In addi tion to this, that ancient city thought she had some claims upon ' the pe pie of Georgia. Her citi- j zens had, upon the understanding j that the Capitol would remain i there, expended their money in the j purchase and improvement of real ; estate, when, suddenly, that per- j verse convention of Georgia, not j having the fear of the Recorder ' and the good citizens of that city, before their eyes, had, with “ mal ice aforethought,” removed it to “ Kimball’s Opera House.” The State University was well represented by some of her alumni, one or two of the professors and a number of the citizens of Athens. They seemed to be satisfied that the Agricultural College could not be a snccess unless it was attach ed to the University. That the State must sustain her favorite chilil, and having an institution already in successful operation, | whose curriculum embraced many 1 of the students which wotdd have to be taught in an agricultural ' college, hut little additional ex pense would be necessary. Our enterprising little town of Dahloncga did not intend to let her claims be overlooked. She was well represented by Col. Price, M. C., Col. Boyd, and Dr. Van Dyke, She, too, had a fine build ing—the old United States Mint well adapted to the waists of an agricultural college—pure moun tain air, good water, fine scenery and cheap living. There is one objection to Dahlonegu, however. It is subject to an epidemic, which is said to be incurable, and, as it attacks in a violent form, old citi zena who are acclimated, we fear it might prove fa'al to young men who expect to follow agricultural pursuits. W# do not know its technical name—or whether it is derived from the Greek, Latin or Saxon language—it is known in this section as the congressional ep idemic. Atlanta, with Iter accustomed modesty, was not very boisterous in presenting her claims She is holding back her trump cards un til the Legislature meets, and then she’ll make the fur fly. There w as a strong party in the Convention in favor of dividing the fund betwee* the seven con gressional districts of the State, and allowing each district to build a college to suit its owu taste.— We cannot give this proposition our endorsement. One college, properly endowed, and having at tached to it an experimental farm, where practical, as well as theo retical instructions can be given, will be of infinitely more service to the State than a dozen colleges, with incompetent professors, no labratory and a totally inadequate endowment. Finding so much diversity of opin ion in the convention, it was at list agreed to refer the whole matter to tha Executive Committee, with direc tions lo memorialize the Legislature, to take such action ns the Committee believed would best subserve the in terest of the Stale. Mail Skkvice Ordkreo.—We are gratified to learn that the Post-office department has ordered a daily mail service tail ween Atlanta and Gaines ville, on the Atlanta and Richmond Air-Line Railroad, commencing ou the 15th iust. For the Gwinnett Alias. Common Schools, GA., j August 14j 1.871. ( Mr. Editor : By direction of the Comity Board of Education of this (Gwinnett) county, at its reg ! ular meeting on the first Tuesday in this month, 1 hand you the fol lowing letter of the State School Commissioner, on the subject ot Common Schools, with a request th at you publish the same, for the information of all who may be interested . Atlanta, Ga., July 21, 1871. Hon. County School Commissioner: Dkap. Sir —Yolirs of the 19th instant is received. On the 3d of June I gave you a short and con cise statement of the amount of State School Fond to be distributed this fall. To make the matter more plain, I will say that on the first <lay of April, 1871, the Comp troller-General reported to me that there had been paid in, and was standing to the credit of the State School Fluid, $282,000, which did not include the poll tax of 1870 and some few accounts of 1868 and 1869, which would increase the amount several thousand dol lars. To that amount may be added the taxes from the various sources sot aside for school pur poses, which may l>c paid in up to the first of November, and also one-half the net profits of the State Road up to November 1, (ten months,) which would be $125,000 —in all amounting to be tween four hundred and four hun dred and fifty thousand dollars.— Of cou se the money is not in the treasury, for it was authorized to be used for other purposes by act approved July 28, 1870; but, in accordance with said act, there have been deposited in the treasu ry seven per cent, bonds of the State to secure the fund, and which bonds are required to be sold by the Governor to replace the money j when needed for distribution. I j have no fear but that the money j will be ready when wanted. The only trouble is the small amount of the fund, which ought to have been supplemented largely by local t axes levied in each county. I have no doubt the scholastic population (children from 6 to 21) will bo about 490,000; so that the State Fund will bo only a little more than one dollar for each child of school age. But as it will be impossible for all to at tend school—the school age in cluding a broad limit—the money can he used in each sub-district fur the pupils who can attend school Now, ldo not believe ; that the average attendance will much exceed 50 per cent, of the i whole number. At. that rate the State Fund will furnish two dollars | for each pupil in attendance.— [ Now, if no local tax is levied, you j will need more money from some source to maintain the most of the , white schools for three months. Many counties will pursue this plan; The trustees will contract j with the teacher for three months, jat a specified salary, agreeing, j however, in the contract, to pay only so much of said salary from State 1 und, as they may have for j the purpose, and the balance by j subscriptions of the patrons of | the school. Then, before the ; school commences, the patrons i who are’ able, subscribe to pay each his pro rata share of whatever ; deficiency there may be in tiro I State Fund. For instance, a sub district has 100 white children I from G to 21, and therefore will, probably, receive SIOO of State i Fund; the trustees contract with ! the teacher for three mouths at SSO per month; the State Fund j pays for two months and the pat i rons subscribing pay for one ; month—if there should be tweuty , five of them it would cost each an average of $2 for three months 1 school. Now, by this plan, the i trustees arc safe, as they only | agree to pay what they have re j ocived; the teacher is secured for i his salary—part from the trustees and part from patrons, who would have to pay him all of his salary if it were a tuition or private j school—and the patrons are cer- I tainly relieved of a part of the j burden, whatever the State aid may bo, and the school is made free to all for three months—thus | complying with the law, bene fittiug the whole community and ; entitling the sub district to its pro rata share of School Fund next year. The interest in the common school system is growing largely, and 1 have no fear but the Legis , lature next session will amend the law and make it stronger ami : 1 rotter, r.very county in the State I is now Organized but seven, and I four of these seven soon will be. jln 75 counties reporting, there will be 1,824 schools if teaehers can be procured. Push on the work I Give us three months’ free school, by some means, in ever}' sub district of your county. The experiment will be valuable to you, and from it We shall all learn something. I am, vours respectfully, J. li. LEWIS, State School Commissioner. From the foregoing, it will be seen that our county is largely in terested in this matter, not only as to the question of education, but as tax-payers and patrons of schools. We have a large num ber of children, both white and colored, who are entitled to a share in the common school fund. From the Tax Receiver’s books of the present year, and other data, we see there are about 2,800, to say nothing of the orphans without guardians, and the children of widows who made no return to said Receiver, which, we can safe ly venture to say, will swell the number over 3,000. If the trus tees will go to work and get up schools in each of their sub-dis tricts and have all the children taught, how much money will lx: saved to the tax-paying patrons of schools, and brought into the county from the school fund of the State ? By the foregoing es timate of Commissioner Lewis, you will see that two dol ars for each youth taught will probably be paid. Then, if 3,000 arc so sent to school, will not there be SO,OOO brought into the county, which will, of necessity, soon go into a general circulation ? This amount is greatly more than the county has to pay to the Stale for taxes. If the cause of education is not of itself a sufficient inducement to stimulate our people, then is not the pecuniary consideration. This is an important matter, and should not he left alone to the trustees of the sub-district anil county board (for they get no compensation for trouble and ser vices). But every citizen should come up and join in the common cause, and assist in the objects of education; for we know a well regulated government is composed of intelligent subjects—that Chris tianity goes “ hand in hand ” with knowledge, and that science de velops the resources of our coun try; therefore, should n t all feel interested? Pardon, Mr. Editor, the trespass on your columns. J. N. Gi.enx, U. S. 0. G. C. GEORGIA NEWS. The Lumpkin Telegraph reports rust appearing pretty generally in the cotton in Stewart county. Some fields, it says, are already badly in jured. President Brown has paid into the Treasury $25,000, being the rental ot the State Road for the month of July.

Horrible Deed.—Yesterday mor i "ing, Win. W Mitchell, a white boy, thirteen years of age, whose parents live at the corner of Market and Meeting streets, was sitting on Mar ket wharf, when three colored boys came along. One of the three, Ashley, said to him, as lie took hold of his foot, “ I’ve a good mind to cut it ot}’.” William Grant, another of the number, stepped up and said, “I will cut it off,” at the same moment taking a knife which was handed to I.im by the third hey, and with it giving the white boy a slash on (lie ankle just above the instep, which severed the sinews and flesh to the bone, making a cut several inches I long. The black fiends then ran away j laughing. The little white fellow cried for help, as his foot dripped 1 blood, and was assisted to Dr. Yates’ i office; where the wound—a severe one, which may cause permanent lameness—was sewed up and ban j daged. A warrant was taken out in the trial Justice Schroder’s office, and two of the villains, Ashley and Grant, arrested and committed for trial. The I other scoundrel is still at large, and . it is hoped that lie will be overtaken \ and made to suffer for the part lie | bore in the cruel deed.— Charleston \ Courier, Bth. gW Mr. Greeley is the liveliest of all the Presidential candidates. True to his agricultural training, lie is making hay while the sun shines, and in the vqry best hay | ing weather we have had, too. — Having fixed Texas, Mr. Greeley quietly slips off to Virginia and I delivers an address in a Method ist church there without announce ment, like any other plain citizen. What lie said about politics* was what lie has said so many times before. He would have them all keep cool and quiet, not bother about elections ai.d other such tilings just now, but wait until next year, when the man who ad vocates universal amnesty and the removal of di abilities would pre sent a candidate worth working for. Tiiis, in effect, was Mr. Gree ey’s argument; but as usual he shone brightest in the practical advice which he gave to hie au dience. As to Eastern men he says “Go West and till the soil,” Iso to the listening Virginians lie i said “develop your natural re- I sources.” Let every man get him ] self a mine, a water-power or a I feiry, and the State w ill soon blos som as the rose and honor the memory of Henry Clay by easting its vote solid for Horace Greely.
