Rome, gepteinlicr 4.???Cherokee lodge, F. ami A. M., will have a social reunion at their tenipie, on the evening of the 29th iiiat. It jimmisea to lie a very pleasant affair. Not withstanding the drouth. Some expects to receive a large amount of cotton this season. Our warehousemen are fully prepared, and their facilities for handling and storing the staple are greater than ever before. Every* precaution lias been taken against damage to cotton in case of a flood, should we be visited by one, which is hardly probable. The floors of most of the warehouses are now above high water mark. A number of gentlemen from other cities have recently located here, to engage in cotton transactions, and altogether the season promises to he exceedingly lively. The fall term of our sujierior court opens un the l!Oth instant. The Rainbow fire com pany has commenced the erection of a new and handsome building. The company is in a very prosperous condition. Mrs. Charles Clark, of Augusta, is in the city. The com ing season promises to he a very brilliant one in society circles. Dr. K. G. Ilillyer, of Washington, Ga. t preached an able and inter esting sermon in the Baptist church to-day. The ipiestion of public schools has not yet been voted on. It is to be Imped that the mayor and council will submit it to the peo ple as soon as jiossiblc. Mr. John Towers of the Courier, | has been appointed one of the vice-presidents of the International cotton exposition. Mr. Towers will probably attend the exposition and write it up for several influential journals. Mr. .1. W. Echols, has returned from a two months???visit to the northern cities. Rome will have a tremendous jubilee when the Atlanta and Rome railroad is completed. The new Howard street bridge lias been completed and our KastRome neighbors are once more, happy. A number of Rome lawyers leave for Summerville to-morrow, to attend Chattooga superior court. M.uhktta, September ???A surve Is being made of the line of the Marietta and North Georgia railroad as far as Canton, with a view of straight ening some of the sharp curves and lessening some of the heaviest grades. The new engine and passenger roach are expected to-morrow, and the road will now he placed in first-class condition. Tiik Coxhtitctios???s new dress is exceedingly becoming, and its enterprise is well worthy of the great city it represents. The farmers are tickled over the advance of cotton so early in the season, and it is hoped they* will get the benefit of it. Preparations are being made to lay a sidetrack three-quarters of a mile long by the Western and Atlantic rail road to meet the increased business of our ???city. The concert to he given on next Thursday night by the Marietta silver cornet band promises to Ik* a splendid affair. The best musical talent of the city will take part, and if any of vour citizens would enjoy a rich treat Thursday.night at the court house is the time and place.* Washington, September 7.???The schedule on the railroad having been changed it throws one mail hack one hour much to the discomfiture of our citizens, and the blow falls heavily on our hotel keepers as they lose one meal thereby. Mr. I). M. An drews left on yesterday to accept a position on the engineering force of the Augusta and Knoxville rail road. Professor 0. S. Barnett opened tlie male academy here on Monday with a fine prospect of a good school. We understand that Prof. Asbnry, of Madison, has accepted the situation as principal of the female sem inary in this place. In years gone by Wash ington was famous for her tine schools, and we trust the day is not far distant when she will regain all' she ever boasted of. Mr. Moses Durden killed a Luge rattle snake in his yard the other day; it measured nine inches in circumference and when he shot the snake it was uncomfor tably near his cl welling Sendees were held in the Baptist church on yesterday in accordance witli the governor's request. Several of our citizens and business men have lieen aggra vated hv a drummer pretending to represent the coal firm of Sciplc & Co., of Atlanta. The drummer came down alsiut a month ago and took six or eight orders for coal. Our citizens gave the orders and awaited quietly for the coal for three weeks; none came; they wrote to Sciplc it Co., and were informed that their 1 looks contained no orders for coal from Washington. Senator Barksdale passed through here yesterday on his way borne in Lincoln. Professor L. W. Merlitens will treat our citizens to a rendi tion of Pinafore on the 15th inst. Five dollars covered the amount of property 'sold here on yesterday (sale day), and one steer constituted the property disjKtsed of. Covington, September 5.???This morning our energetic: and enterprising fellow-citizen. Air. Thomas Camp, began removing- the debris preparatory to rebuilding from the fire of last week. His worthy wife, with pick and spade dug and threw the first dirt, which was wit nessed by many of our citizens, witli the wish ???that this block may never again lie destroyed liy fire.??? With such enterprise and industry wo exjicet to set: in thirty clays erected on the site of tlie old building a throe-story tire-proof brick edifice which will adorn the old spot and show that there is life in the old land yet. In a few clays others will follow Air. Camp, and we learn that in a short while the entire west side of our public square will be under contract of brick. It is worth a trip to Ox ford to see the erection of Sency hail on the college campus. Wc do not know of a more beautiful building than it will be when oom- .plctcd, and from the superior material, hand some new brick, which will compare with the Inset Philadelphia press, with the skill of master mechanic in placing them, we doubt if a finer or better piece of workmanship can l??e found within our state. Mr. Bruce, ol rflie firm of Parkins & Bruce, architects, Atlantic said in our presence that there was no build ing in your city, save, pcrliai>s, the custom bouse, that would equal it. Tlie friends of the college, and of tlia entire state, are to lie con gratulated on the present bright aud future prospects of this time-honored institution Emory college.

David Neal, the engineer on the railroad which runs out to the mountain and hauls rock from the quarries to tlie works had left some cam stand ing in the yard, and had made another trip and was returning with another train load of granite. There is a sharp curve in the road just as it enters the van! and the engineer had forgotten that he liad left the cars standing in liis way. The engine was under a pretty 'full headway. There were four negro men sitting in front of the en gine. and as soon as the ears were in sight twe of them realized their danger and sprang off. The other two were caught between the engine and one of the cars aud horribly mangled lliert Long was so badly injured that he died Saturday night, and Joumcgnn Blodgett will die from his injuries.???Last week Silas Alason, while at work on the railroad, was caught un der a caving hank and badly hurt.

Yesterday afternoon a represesentative of The Constitution asked Dr. Orr, state sehool commis sioner, if this bill would help the school fund ma terially. ???It will,??? said he, ???do a great deal of good. AVe will have this year for education $355,000 arising from the poll tax, the half rental of the State road, and from the tax on shows. This bill will increase that s??m by $60,000, and strengthen our hands won derfully;??? How many school children arc there in Geor gia???? ???Our school population is 433,444. You will sec npw how inadequate is our appropriation. We are doing more work with little money in Georgia than is being done in any stato of this union. Last year we had only 80 cents per cajiita to sehool population: only $1.46 for each en tolled pupil; and only $2.38 for each piipil in actual attendance. With this we had to educate the children of Georgia for three mouths. II the bill passed to-day will not enable us > keep sehool longer it will make the system much??? more efficient while in operation. It will raise the per capita for the school population above 90 cents and give a corres ponding increase in tlie other figures I have given. Are schools not needed more than three months???? 01 course they are and the friends of education ought never to be content until all over this state there arc good schools free to all and open at least six months in the year.???

Tiny feet and tiny toes, Thu't I fancy some fine day It will wing its flight away??? We???ve a baby at our house. Seem to have Made up Their Minds that the Exposi tion will be a Great Success, and that the Peo ple of the Whole Country Peel it to be tbeir Duty to Attend. There is now no reason to doubt that the exposi tion building will be ready for the reception of exhibits by the 20th of September at the outside. The main building is now virtually finished, and the others are being rushed ahead' as fast as hundreds of workmen can push them. They will be ready certainly in time to allow exhibitors to ar range their exhibits so that by the 5th of October everything can be in order for the grand opening. Bills of lading of articles intended for exhibit are being received daily, and shipments have already been made. Some exhibits of single firms occupy four or five cars and one exhibitor needs a train of thirty ears to convey all the parts of the exhibition he will make. The preparations made by the chief exhibitors show that they will make as elaborate and fin ished displays here as were ever made at any world???s fair. After the 10th of this month no applications for S|iuce will be received. Enough has already been taken to guarantee the grandest show that has ever taken place upon southern soil, and will give it high rank among world???s fairs. The average amount of space taken daily for the last week is front five to eight thousand feet, and between now and tile tenth it is expected that 50,009 additional feet will be applied for. The floor space now demanded for actual exhibitors, is ten times as great as the most sanguine man believed within possible reach, when the exposition was first organized. It has literally gone beyond any one???s expectations. As to tlie number of visitors the rates established, beyond the unique character of the show, and tiie special interest felt in the south, will bring an enor mous crowd. The regular price of tickets from New A'ork and return from tlie 1st of October to the 1st of January will be thirty-six dollars, or about two cents per mile. Special excursion train s will be run from New A???ork to Atlanta about once a week, at fifteen dollars for the round trip. The rates from Chicago to Atlanta and return are $22, with a special ex cursion rate of $11, and from Cincinnati, Sis, with a special excursion rate of $u: Proportionate rates are given to every city and village in the United States. Air. B. AV. AVreun, chief of the transporta tion department, says that it is not beyond the range of possibilities that one million people Will visit Atlanta during tlie three months of the exposition; that it is more likely to reach this amount than to fall below if the first comers are entertained and give a good report of the show. If less than ten thousand people at tended the exposition the prominence that Atlanta has gained by taking hold of this movement will more than repay her for all her expenditure aiid trouble. The press of the north and west is filled with articles sounding her praises and commending her enterprise. Tlie following we extract from tlio Financial Chronicle: It is gratifying to us???inasmuch as the exhibition to be hold in Atlanta tiris autumn was first proposed by Mr. Atkinson in the Chronicle, a little over a year ago???to note its extraordinary promise of suc cess. The original suggestion named New A'ork as the place, but this was soon wisely changed to At lanta, for the obvloUMMnd controlling reason that it is not only eotto'u itself, but the south which needs to be studied and known. The origiual plan of a special and exclusive exhibition of cotton and its processes has also been departed from. Ev erything projected us respects the staple will lie car ried out, out the special displays of natural mutcr- rials which were by no means the smaller hull of tlie attractions ut tlie centennial will be repro duced. Tlie gold of Georgia aud North Carolina; tlie woods of Tennessee and other states; the ores, marbles, fruits, eorn and cane, and specimens of soils???these will nil be shown. That these states have rich mineral endowments we all know in a general way; but, if Missouri be excepted, few have seen their minerals; "Georgia pine??? is common enough, but of other woods almost nothing is known. And so we might say of all the rest of tlie ?? The exhibition ItsJif lias been growing, in the interest and support accorded it everywhere, in the scope it will cover, and in tlie assurance of practical success and of wide-spreading practical benefits to flow from it, ever$fiuee it was first taken in hand, 'film original scheme remains, but lias broadened in every respect mill direction. Tlie floor-space origi nally contemplated; has been several times extended and applications continue to j*our in. It is already certain that the whole matter is taken up in the sume spirit of hopeful enthusiasm and houomblc emulation, which, provoked to its utmost efforts of versatile ingenuity, made tlie Philadelphia exhibi tion tlie most suggestive ever yet held. Ail that has been said regarding the wastefulness and comparatively feeble intelligence in cotton growing remains true. Much has been done in the way of improvement, but there is waste and loss in every process, and cotton treatment, up to its de livery at the northern mills, Is almost where it was twenty years ago, us respects any material advance in methods, although tlie old methods ure better managed. Cotton is still the most beliiud-buud of all important products. AVe need not stop with this statement, for, though she hus of late been making great strides forward, it is only repeating a well-known but not half up- ircciated fact to say that tiie south itself is tlie most lehind-huud of any section of tlie country, com- lurativcly speaking. There are parts still inhabited iv a scattered jKipulation dressed in homespun; there are quite large ureas un jieuetrated by railroads, y ft COTTON GINS. 262 feblS???dly sun wed fri ??Scwky lv.

Some time ago we described a boat that was being built at Martins' font for the purpose of dredging the gold bearing rivers of north Georgia, that the sands of tlie bottom might be worked for tlie yellow metal. The boat has been finished, we understand, and successfully launched on what is supposed to be the richest gold river of the state. The dirt and sand will be lifted into the bout by means of a vacuum pipe, ft will take probably two weeks to fit tlie boat up with machinery, and then the most imjairtant experiment in the history of gold mining in Georgia will lie made. Captain Nobles, who built the boat, is very confident of success. If he is right the yield of bullion in Georgia will be doubled without exhausting the mines, and immense for tunes will l*o made. - A 1st NEC? ??iiuciitioniil.

Slavery necessarily not only fail ed to exhibit and discover natural resources, but con cealed them???it was an absolute liar to jirogrcss and even to the search and knowledge which precede jirogress. As if the Ohio river hud been impassable, all the tide of civilization ami jirogrcss flowed westward without heljiing tlie south. The census bulletin exhibiting the geographical center of jhiji- ulation strikingly illustrates this, for that center, starting in 1790 a little eastward of Baltimore, has moved westward by nine singularly uniform steps, but has never gone below the 39th parallel of lati tude, which is at Anuajiolis???it has gone westward but never southward. But the great obstacle hav ing been removed, and the succeeding obstacles of povertv, misunderstanding, ami bitterness, which were left by the war, having also been in good part removed, a great change is now in jirogrcss. It is to be said us to cotton that it is a necessity, in countries ol the lowest as well as of the highest civilization; it has been distanced by combined breadstuff's as to its position ill tiie export trade, but still it was really never so truly king us now, count ing us well its prospects us its standing to-day. It is a mutcriul bill of exchange, negotiable every where at sight. The great point in favor of tlie south is that our commanding position as re gards cotton is in nowise menaced and is as secure as anything in the future cun be, while as to brcad- stuffs'there is of course ft possibility that Eurojie mav not always dejieud upon us as largely as during the last lew years. Is it not reasonable therefore to expect a larger movement southward in the human stream which has Hvoidcd the south for so many years? This movement southward, in respect to jiopulution somewhat, and to capital very largelv, has already begun. The Chronicle has been for several years predicting that the south would yet be discovered and that, once started in growth, she would move with accelerating strides; the most dismal misunderstandings, bitterness, and linanciul depression, have never made our faith waver, and now the prediction is already being fulfilled. There has been not a little exploring done in the south, during the past year, by capitalists, uud large invest ments have been quietly made iu railroads and other desirable property. It is the first steps iu such a change which come hardest, and the movement will greatly increase as soon as it has become suffi cient to attract general attention. The Atlanta exhibition will therefore come in just the right time. It will bo the first advertise ment and the first real opening of itself to view that the south has ever had, It will offer large opportunities for au interchange of otiinions; will clear away the ???bloody-shirt??? idea of the south: and will do more than could be done by a decade ol legislation to cor rect wrong impressions and bring the jiart-s of the eountrytogether. The great advantage of having the exhibition on southern soil will be that the visitors from a distance will be iu great jiart not mere sight-seers but those who seek knowledge with a view to investments. The occasion will also be a rare educational force to the southern jieople themselves. It should teach them confidence, rouse their ambition, increase their cour age, and invigorate them in mauv ways. They do not know the outride world, or even themselves, very much better than the world knows them, and this gathering will give even the most sluggish of the out-of-the-way resi dents who are drawn to it some glimpses ut least which mav stimulate the desire for an imjiroved condition of things. Hence we regard the exhi bition as the hupj.iest thought of the times and as sure to bring with it farther reaching und more im portant advantages than any one event since 1865.
