Hon. J. It. Parrott, and A N. Bradshaw', M»j
Cooper delivered the following address ot wel
conic:
Gentlemen of this Excursion :
Wc present ourselves as a committee fiorn the
. citizens of Cartersville, to receive and greet you
on this occasion—vou, gentlemen of science, in
telligence and worth, representatives of the
Press—you, Colonel Hulbert, Superintendent ot
the Western & Atlantic Railroad,and Governor
Bullock, of Georgia. We give you a hearty
greeting, and tender you tbe hospitalities ot this
little town. Tarry in it as long as your time
and convenience may authori :e. Your vi:-it is
interesting to science, to the people of Georgia,
nnd especially to Cherokce-Georgta. You will
have an opportunity to see and know that which
you could not learn without it.
By the wise and liberal policy of this admin-
i-tration. you are here with us lo-day to see and
e vamine the mineral resourscs ol our country,
it has been well remarked that the iron inter
cats of Georgia are second only to that of cot
ton. More than this will prove to be true. In
ns results and associations in peace and in war.
it will far exceed that ot cotton.
The otticcra of the Cartersville anil V an \Y eri
Railway, have gathered specimens of minervl
..re Mioyi Jim. They arc now’ befort
you. ‘ \\ e think that lor value and va
riety; for richness and endurance, tin like
eounot lie inund anywhere else within the same-
area of surface. Slate for roofing, lor lurnittire
for building, and lor other purpose, iron on
without limit; Marble-of all varieties, from
white to black . Grindstones, \Vhet- ;om -', m l
hours, mineral paints, plumbago, fireclay, gold
quart/., all in near proximity with stone coal
We have here on exhibition a few samples ot
iron ore found at Ktawali near here. These
are known, and have been used for all purposes
by us tor twenty-five years. We have sent the
pigmctal from these ores to England and have
tunt it n -ied for iron aud lor steel, and had
hies aud cutlery made ot it. Here is a razor
yet in the original package.
Gentlemen you are now on the line ol the
great mineral formation ot tlie South -the
transition from the primary to the secondary
formation. Your examination and comments
will gratify the pride of Georgians, and aw aken
the admiration of all who read or hear your
report,
SVEKCH oy GOVERNOR BOLLOCK.
On behalf of the administration, 1 desire to
return thanks for your kind words, and lor the
kind manner in which we are received. 1 trust
this excursion may aid our newspaper friends
iu having an opportunity to view the geologic el
products ol the country. I will therefore ask
their careful consideration of the specimens
which will be presented to them, if behalf ot
the gentlemen who are with us in this excursion.
(Cheers. i
COL. JOSEPH CIJSBY,
l will say, gentlemen, that, in behalf of j our
association, I do trust that we are entering upon
a new era iu this State. When the great social
revolution, contrary to our will, was initialed,
a still greater industrial revolution was cum
menced, so that our State will not be only the
Empire State of the South, but the Empin
State of the Union. (Cheers )
A collation and relreshments provided by the
thoughtful hospitality of the citizens ot this
thriving town was hastily partaken of, aud j
then followed an examination of the splendid j
collection ot minerals'made by our indcuuiy i
ble triend, Col. Robert A Crawford, lormerly
ot Griffin, Ga. Among these we noticed :
Ot iron about TO specimens from Polk county,
off a surface not exceeding eight, miles squ ire j
embracing red hematite, black oxid, gray or j
specular, and fossil, estimated to yield trom ?(» !
to 90 per ceutum ot pure metal. Then there j
were about 30 specimens of tbe specular Horn j
tbe property of tbe Etawab Mining and Maun j
tacturing Company, ot very superior quality— i
in tact, in its natural state very closely res< in- j
bling the manutactured pig iron
Of Manganese, there were 13 specimens j
unusual richmss.
Ot Copper, there were 7 specimens equal to |
any to be tound anywhere.
Ol Gold Quartz, there were 26 specimens, j
tome of them exceedingly flue.
«if Slate, there were a large number of speci
mens, trom 7 by 14 inches to 14 by 24 inches o?
very superior quality ior roofing, and solid for I
Hugging, curbing, tuai-tles, Ac.,— a specimen ot i
about 2 by 7 lect ami — inches thick being on j
exhibition.
There were 4t -fweimeus <>l Marble, ; , f
white, aud ait intermediate shades and rarities, :
shown, all suasepiiWe ot fine finish and high j
can be sawed or chiselled into any desired shapei
and when varnished exhibits a variety of shades,
such as oak, poplar, walnut, maple, cedar, and
even mahogany. It works beautifuliy, and is
really a great acquisition, and the supply is said
to be inexhaustible.
Of Fire Clay, very valuable because scarce,
there were some specimens of very superior
quality.
< »t Powfaattao i'ipe Clay, heretofore believed
to l»- the exclusive product of Virginia, there
was a most excellent snacimen.
Of Dye Rock, black and red, there were but
three .-!>ecimens,bui they were remarkably fine.
Of . Plumbago there were very excellent spec
imens.
There were ten specimens ol ochre, yellow
and red, very line, and a number—about 30—ol
sjift-imens of other minerals—names unknown-

Chattanooga, Aug. 26,1869.
ln.tr Intelligencer: After partaking of the
generous hospitalities ot the citizens ol Carters
ville, aud examining the specimens collected,
the well-pleased party resumed the cars, which
left soon after tor this city, where we arrived late
iu the afternoon.
«»u the route, the traiu was stopped at the
very extensive lime quarries ot Rev. C. W. How
ard, near Kingston, now being worked by his
active and enterprising son-in-law, Mr. Waring.
Thi» gentleman ia now working two kilns,
which produce lrorn 15o to 200 bushels of very
superior lime per day, consuming about tnree
cords of wood. He is preparing to erect two
more kilns, of the same capacity, iu which he
proposes to burn coal. . The limestone he will
burn in these is of unsurpassed quality, being
what is known as the bird's-eye limestone, be
ing the only quarry known or discovered in the
South. Overlying this strata is a bed of Hy
draulic cement, which is said to be the only one
south ot Louisville, Ky , or at least it is the only
one yet been announced as known.
The strata of this quarry are of quite diderent
qualities, and differ very greatly in thickness,
-ome being but a few inches thick, while others
are several feet. The quarry ia known to ex
tend to about two miles in length, and is oi an
average width of bait a mile. In portions of
this quarry the strata incline east and west in
the shape ot the roof of a house—which is un
usual. The depth of the quarry is unknown.
Tlie supply is believed to be inexhaustible.
Nothing more worthy of special notice occurred
between the limestone quarry and Chattanooga,
excepting that some of the localities attracted
attention and remark on the part of a number
of the passengers, and that the train stopped at
a lovely spot known as Willow Dale Spring,
about two miles north of Dalton. This delight-
lul spot is shaded by quite a number of beauti
ful, thrifty young willows, which have beeD
pruned closely, and their trunks whitewashed,
while the spring itself has been nicely covered
in, and a large and deep granite basin has been
provided for its cool and limpid waters. The
volume of water it discharges is unusually
large, and its purity has made it popular with
all—those connected with the road, as well as
with travelers.
Our reception on our arrival at Chattanooga
was ot the mo»t cordial character—the welcome
hearty—and the goodwill manitested by all,
exceedingly gratilying and cheering. All who
had an opportunity to do so, seemed to via with
each other iu efforts to do honor to the city’s
guests.
Chattanooga and Atlanta should remain fast
friends, and not let a generous emulation, sink
into distiustful rivalry. Each can and should
help each other, aud each be proud ot the
others growth and prosperity. A like great
future awaits both by tbe use oi the great natu
ral advantages each possesses, and of the artifi
cial advantages each has the power to com
mand. Here Georgia and Tennessee meet and
clasp hands; the former with her head at At-
I inta, reaches her right baud to grasp tbe scep
ter of Neptune, while with her left she gtasps
tin- left baud ot Tennessee, who, with her head
at Nashville, extends her right Land to Memphis,
win re she grasps the hand of her Western sis
ter across ilia Father of Waters, where the
other members of the great Union Family eon-
tUnits the chain of hearts and hands until Cali
fornia looks t-broad upon the heaving billows
ol the broad Pacific, «oon-to control its meritine
power.
la my next 1 will give you an extended ac
count of our enthusiastic reception here. Adieu.

Chattanooua, August 26,1869.
I>< >.r Intelligencer : Supper was just over, and
the guests and a number of ethers had quietly
seated themselves in front of the hotel, when
the enlivening strains of music on the second
floor of the portico attracted thither a large con
course. Wtien the music ceased Mayor Sparks
came forward and tendered the hospitalities of
the city, as- follows :
Mamin rs of the Press of Georgia :
Gentlemen—The city of Chattanooga is
much gratified to receive as visitors, and to en
tertain as guests so large a body of your own
mcmlicrs, and the large number of the citizens
of Georgia accompanying yon. We are truly
glad lo greet and welcome jou, and hope to
make your visit agreeable, as well as productive
of tlie general good and prosperity of both
cities. Gentlemen, I am no speaker, and will
not longer detain you. I again heartily welcome
you, and hope nothing will be wanting to make
your visit pleasant
Succeeding the bridiant rendition of a popu
lar air. Col V A. Gaskill, of Atlanta, spoke as
follows:
(Vtisens of Georgia and Tennessee:
It is very seldom that I have to apologize
when I attempt to make a speech, for I hardly
vit attempt to make one without some prepara-
tion. Trenight, unexpectedly, 1 have been
called upon, and I leei much embarrassed -
hardly knowing how to begin, or what to say
But, as a citizen oi Atlanta, representing oue ot
• ui papers, accompanying the majority of the
l’ii ss ol Georgia on a visit to this State, tor the
purpose ot looking into your mineral resources,
and to learn facts which we may carry home
tor our own benefit, it is well, I think, for us to
acknowledge this greet mg, and to say that we
hope to know more ol y»u, and you to know
more of us.
1, myself, feel that Chattanooga ought to be
long to us, and I am prepared to say, bow, that
it xou aud your Slate ate nadyand prepared
to make propositions, the State ot Georgia is
not unwilling to entertain and meet them. [Ap
plause.] We will Lake you now, and do the
tx-st we can for aud by you, in tbe physical de
velopment of your section and State, in connec
tion with those of the Empire State ot the
South.
With the mineral wealth which is yours, and
that imt-edded within her own boundaries,
iteon ia should become, and, w hen three are
uevdeped, will become, one ot the greatest
States-ol the Atlantic siepe. [Cheers.] None

There were also specimen ot J <-t very

There were tour specimens ot millstone, said
to resemble French burr wry remarkably.
«if iaucy building rock, which, though
when quarried, hardens by exposure, there were
numerous specimens. 'This i* a remarkable

and prosperity.
The speaker then proceeded for several min
utes in his usual felicitous style, in regard to the
development, growth and prosperity of Chntts
uooga and Tennessee and Atlanta and Georgia,
tlis remarks were listened to-with marked at
tention, lrequently interrupted by applause.
Mayor Hulsey, of Atlanta, being called for,
responded, in substance, as follows :
lit airmen of the Georgia P/ess and Citizens of
Chattanooga :
1 have been called upon here tor one purpose
—that of making a speech—although l did not
expect to make one, and consequently did not

susceptible of receiving a fine smooth suriace, J come prepared. YV c are aU here this evening
for the purpose of an interchange and exchange
ot views, and I truly hope that Tennessee and
Georgia may so co-operate as that Tennes
seans will be beuefitted by some views which a
Georgian may give them, aud that Georgians
may be benefiued by some views wh ich a Ten
nessean may give them. [Applause ] We are
all Georgians here.^xcepl those who are Ten-
neaseaos—and those who came from some
where else. [Laughter j
But, to come down now to a serious matter,!
tell you, people of Chattanooga, that we stand
upon a piece of ground which one day, and
that not very far distant, will be marked as one
of the great spots of the South. And, now, if 1
simply tell you that, and do not give you any
reason for it, you will think that I am simply
meaning a compliment to Chattanooga, and
giving you a shadow without the substance. 1
have ridden to-day with the most intelligent set'
of gentlemen with whom I have ever ridden in
the course of my life, (but 1 am only thirty
years old) through the most beautiful country,
which, I believe, the sun ever shone upon. You
have a great country, so far as I have lizd an
opportunity of seeing it. 1 have travelled, and
1 have seen the glens, and the babbling brooks,
and the streams, and the mountains, which sur
round you and give grandeur to your section.—
Chattanooga is one of the most prosperous cities
of the South— one ol the great ceuters of rail
way communication,
*- We mu-t let ttie dead past bury its dead,
Hope within aud <iod o’erhtad.”
Tennesseeans and Georgians, all look to the
development of tlie great resources of their re
spective States. Cultivate your fields—dig out
your coal and iron, and 1 tell you that you wll
do more for your people than you oau do iu any
other way. (Cheers)
On being introduced iu complimentary terms
by Col. W. B. Gaw, of Chattanooga, Hon-
Peter Zinn, of Cincinnati, spoke briefly, iu sub
stance, as follows:
My Friends—my very partial friends—Col.
Gaw was somewhat mistaken when he said I
desired to address you, because, of late, I have
not been in tbe habit of public speaking. I am
happy, however, to address myself to the repre
sentatives ot the Press of Georgia, because, once
upon a time I belonged to that fraternity. I am
proud to say that at one time I was numbered
among those who practice “tbe art preservative
of all arts." Some twenty or twenty-five years
ago, I published a newspaper in the city ol Cin
ciDnati.
Gentlemen, allow me to say to you, and I
kuow down South you will bear me out, be
cause every one of you who has met with the
trenchant journeymen printer, knows that they
are tbe men who make public sentiment, who
make politicians, and who make statesmen,
more than the honorable gentlemen make them
selves.
The city of Cincinnati ia just now absorbed
with the important matter of opening up a rail
way connection with the South. She has by
the voice ol the Legislature of the State ot
Ohio, by the voice ol the City Council of Cin
cinnati, and by a direct vote ol her citizens,
determined to expend ten millions of dollars in
building a railway from that city to Chattanooga.
[Cheers.] They have fixed upon this place as
a central point from which they hope to reach
the entire Southern country east of the Missis
sippi. They wish to become more closely
united with you. They are manufacturers of
furniture, agricultural implements, and wooden-
ware generally, and these, which they make,
they wish to exchange with you for your raw
material—cotton, aud articles which they have
not and cannot produce. They hope to benefit
you, and, in return, to be beuefitted themselves.
Thanking the audience tor their kind atten
tion, and the opportunity afforded him of mak
ing Lis remarks, Mr. Zinn retired mid the ap
plause which followed.-
Col. James, of Chattanooga, Representive
elect to the Tennessee Legislature trom Hamil
ton county, being called for, in substance, said:
As a representative of the State Government
of Tennessee, 1 tender you a hearty welcome to
her soil, in the name of Governor Senter, and
of the pood citizens of Tennessee. [Cheers.]
Gentlemen, we have but one policy, and but
one feeliDg, toward all onr lellow citizens,
whether they live in the Empire State ot the
South, or whether they live in any State North
or West. We have inscribed upon our banners
those immortal words spoken by the lamented
Lincoln—’* With malice toward none, charity
for all; and the will to do the right as God gives
us the power to see the right."
It is within the recollection of most of the
citizens ot Tennessee, when Chattanooga was
unknown to the country except as Ross’ Land
ing—a mere obscure trading post to which the
whites descended from above with wares and
trinkets to sell to the Indians. For her present
proportions, her increasing prominence and
prosperity, and the bright luture before her, she
is largely indebted to the sagacity ot the states
men ol Georgia who projected, aud the liberality
of her people who expended the money to com
plete that great work, the Western & Atlantic
Railway, now' so ably managed by its present
Superintendent, Col Hulbert. [Applause.] ' In
a short time we expect to shake hands with
Cincinnati. We wt lcome you here, citizens of
the State of Georgia, united, as you are, with
U9 in every interest which make3 a people great.
We hope in a few years to be able to receive
and nnload at our wharves the fruits of the
tropics direct from tbe islands i>f the Caribbean
sea, and deliver them to you iu Georgia. We
expect to receive from you the products of Eu
rope and the Orient, and the isles which begem
tbe bright Atlantic, landed at the seaports
Brunswick, Savannah, and Charleston. We
wish you to aid us, and we hope to be a - benefit
to you.
Now, gentlemen, we desire that you shall see
the mineral'wealth whieh surrounds thi9 city.
We propose to take you to the summit ol Look
out Mountain, which is to us what Pisgah was
to Israel of old, for trom it you can see the blue
peaks ot the highlands iu five contiguous States,
and the mineral lands of Tennessee, Northern
Georgia, aud Alabama. Tbe people of Tennes
see and Georgia are and will reiuaiu united-
nothing should dissever them, but all should
adopt lor their motto:
“ Together let- as gwe« tly live.
Together let ua never die.’
Col. Fitch, the versatile anJ humorous editor
of the Griffin (Ga.) Star, being loudly called for,
came forward and entertained those present
with one ol his unapproachable speeches—such
a speech, indeed, as no one else could make, and
one, too, almost impossible to report. It abcuud
ed in humor, bon roots, and brilliant scintillations
of wit, which were accompanied by shouts ot
laughter from the audience, and produced the
happiest effect. The Lrutiris, our Griffin friend
really outdid himseit on this occasion.
Judge J. R Parrott and others, were then
called tor, who responded in brief and telling
speeches, which called forth the applause of the
assembled people.
At alaiut 12 o’clock at nieht tl e l uncmrac
dispersed, all, apparently, satisneo <md gratified.
It is to be hoped that this Visit will prove of
very great benefit to Chattanooga and Atlanta—
to Tennessee and Georgia.

An Address.
To the Ladies of LaGrange and Vicinity:
The Lodge of Goo 1 Templars, in your city,
at their last meeting, appoiuted the undersigned
committee to prepare and publish au address,
especially to the wires, mothers and sisters ot
this community, on the great importance of the
temperance movement now at work in the coun
try ; and to earnestly solicit your aid and influ
ence in the good cause, and in behall of the
Lodge of Good Templars that has been work
ing and struggling tor existence, in your midst,
for the last five months.
The first question that presents itself to our
minds is, What shall we say ? All are con vine
ed ot the importance and necessity ot such a
movement, even in this enlightened community;
and it seems strange to us that we have not
long since had not only your smiles and approv
al, but your earnest co-operation in endeavoring
to banish trom our land that devouring Ogre ot
the social world—Intern;*:ranee. It we conld
only present a true picture, aud group before
your imaginations its palsied and haggard
victims, iu all their squalidness and degrada
tion, that you might behold the magnitude of
that curse which threatens to overthrow the
social and moral world, we reel that our task
would be finished and our object accomplished.
But even then you would not be able to form a
proper estimate of the redeeming and sanative
influences which will be dispensed by the genius
ot Temperance, unless we could, at the same
time, summon the lovely goddess from her etlie-
rial abode into tbe midst of that congregation
of bloati d wretchedness, that j’ou might have
displayed before you the actual workings of her
miraculous power. She bids them arise, aud
they spring to their feet and stand erect in ber
presence, in all tbe dignity ot original manhood,
healed and regenerated. Their eyes are again
tfirned heavenward, and with a step as firm aud
elastic as ol j'ore, they xvaik abroad iu the sun
light of peace and purity.
There is one important consideration con
nected with this subject to which we would
like to cal’l your attention. It is well known of
every intelligent observer that the mass of in
dividuals most vulnerable to the vice of intem
perance is composed, in a great degree, ot those
men who Inherit from their Creator, in an emi
neut degree, the qualities and atlribntea which
most ennoble the nature and character of man.
He who combines in his nature an ardent tem
perament with a fruitful imagination—these
elements of greatness—is ever the most inclined
to court excitement, however deleterious in its
nature, ami to be swerved by its influences.—
The more yielding and confiding his disposi
tion, the more open aud generous bis nature;
the nobler and kindlier his impulses, and the
warmer aud richer his fancy, the more readily
is his will subjugated and bis judgment unhing
ed ; and, consequently, the more liable is lie to
fall into temptation, indulgence and excess.—
They are those who by nature are endowed
with tbe brighter aud lovelier attributes ot hu
manity, and wiio are apt to become, through
intemperance, the ready dupes and victims of
the unprincipled, the calculating, aud the mer
cenary. Such, ladies, are the men in whose be
half wc would have you exercise your influence.
This, above all other subjects, save the cause
of religion itself, should claim the attention and
labor ol the ladies generally, as they are, per
haps, the most to be henefitted by the cause ol
temperance. Give us your aid aud influence to
banish trom our land the demon—intemper
ance—which often embitters all your streams ot
joy aud throws a pall of gloom over your bright
est hopes. It lias polluted every church, cor
rupted every ballot-box, and awakened iu every
city, town, village, and hamlet, ot our land
the voice of woe and wretchedness. This, la
dies, is the cause in which we ask your aid !—
Can you withhold it? It is the cause ot philan
thropy—it is tlie cause ot Christianity itself.
Will you not come aud join us? Will you not
exert your influence lor us in your lamily aud
among your friends? We believe you will;
and therefore address to you this earnest appeal
It you should unfortunately be afflicted with an
intemperate husband, brother, son, or near and
dear friend, you will find his habit not cured by
a harsh and bitter tone, but rather by persua
sion and tbe tenderness oi affection which you
cau only teel and appropriately express. You
kuow your influence lor good or evil with him,
and you will not, you dare not, under such cir
cumstances, and, we hope, under any, otter him
the inebriutiug cup. Remember the curse it lias
inflicted on our earth—remember the families it.
has ruined—remember the characters ic has
wrecked, the splendid iutel'ects it has destroyed,
the hardships and agonies ..! body and mind it
has entailed ou your sex, and employ your in
fluence against it:
The sodlal file of the country is the reflected
image ot womau’s character and culture.’’ You
kuow your influence over trie rougher sex, and
you ought,, you must, exerc ise it lor good. It is
no slight duly to winch you are called in the
discharge ot your offices to society. You can
mould it as you will, give it form aud substance,
itara>iile the veil from hypocrisy and make it
real by causing it to heave with the emotions ot
earncsiness and beat responsively to the calls ol
sorrow and suffering' humanity. To you, now,
ladies, we look tor assistance iu tbe noble cause
ot temperance. Each ot you are responsible lor
tbe talents in your keeping. These are your
husbands, your sous, your brothers. Will you
not gently take them, by the hand ; and, with
soft, sweet words—such as can tall trom only
tbe lips ot a loving, tender woman—lead your
jewels to our hall, and there together embrace
the cause ot .Temperance—Fidelity—Charity ?
We believe you will, we trust you will, and that
future generations may “rise up.and call you
blessed."

however, there will be a sufficient number ot
Lee’s officers on hand to fix correctly the dis
tribution of his forces iu the crisis of tbe terri
ble contest. This pictorial description ot the
battle will be ‘’something new 7 under the sun,"
and while affording to posterity a vivid con
ception of the magnitude ot the rebellion and
of the momentous issues depending upon this
bloody field, it will be an enduring first class
advertisement to the Gettysburg Springs as a
summer resort.’’
We notice that both Gen. Robert E. Lee
and Gen. Fitzhcgh Lee will not lie present ou
tlie occasion. The former writes to the Hon.
D. McConaugliy tLnt he bad received the iuvi-
tation, and adds: *’My engagements will not
permit me to tie pri st ut. i believe, it there, 1

moreover, not to l .-ep open the sores of war,
but to follow tbe example of those nations wl o
endeavored to obliterate the marks of eivil strife,
and to commit to oblivion the feelings it engen
dered.”
General Fiizlurgh Lee said, in reply to tbe
invitation extended to him, which letter was
sent through Get eral Robert E lice : “It will
not be iu my power to lie present, but auy in

The Financial Policy of the Adnlnbua*
lion.
The New York Times is evidently the New
York organ of the Federal administration.
What it says, therefore, in reference to the poli
cy of tbe administration, financial and. political,
should be received a3 coming from a source
authorized to speak for the Fresident and bis
Cabinet Viewing the Times in this light, we
U msfer from its columns into this paper, one of
its recent leaders, headed as above, simply that
our readers may become advised of the Admin
istration’s—or General Grant’s—financial policy 7 ,
a subject of vast interest to the people of this
country, especially when repudiation is finding
its champions in every nook and corner of the
land, in the high as well as the low places there
of. We make no comments upon the Times'
article, other than thus to introduce it to our
readers, leaving it to. them to pass judgment
upon.
“ Thus far iu his Administration ol the Gov
ernment, President Grant has not set forth, in
an official form, the policy by which he is gov
erned when acting upon fiscal affairs. This
utterance cannot reasonably be expected prior
to the meeting ot Congress in December next
In his Annual Message, and in the Report of the
Secretary ol the Treasury, we may expect to.
to -,et- a clear and lull development of the pol
icy of the President: aud in the subsequent acts
ot Congress, that policy will be aided, strength
ened, aud, perhaps, modified.”
“ In the meantime the acts ot the Adminis
tration enable us to form decided views of its
policy aud intentions First, tbe President evi
dently intends to pay off the • Five-twenties ’
as rapidly as he may iu gold. Secondly 7 , in
order to be able to make the payment soon, the
President is laboring to largely appreciate the
credit of the Government;—he is struggling to
lilt us securities to the level ot the securities ol
the wealthiest European States. When this
end is measurably attained, the President will
be able to negotiate a loan at par, in gold, at 4
or 4j- per cent, with the proceeds ol which to
pay oft twelve or fifteen hnndred millions ol
the public debt; thus, by. a mere saving in the
rate of interest, lessening-onr annual payments
of interest, in gold, $25,000,000 or $30,000,000.
Thirdly, to enable him to build up tbe Govern
ment credit and lessen the interest upon tbe
public debt, tbe President has sedulously and
with success laltored to collect the revenues
without loss or waste, and with less expense ;
also to introduce a rigid ecouomy into every
branch of the public service. Great savings
have been re alized in the Military and Treasury
brauehes ; creditable savings iu tbe State and
Interior Departments have been effected, aud
considerable savings are hoped tor from the
Navy and Post Office. ”
“ tio tar as the current movements ol the
Treasury are concerned, until the crops are
moved, it is not likely Treasury gold will be
sold for turret cy to be locked up. Tbe eutire
surplus ot currency iu the Treasury, on the
coutrary, Will be employed in the purchase ot
bonds as heretofore that money may be abun
dant and cheap at the time crops are to be paid
for aud moved by transporters to market. And
it may 7 be that lurther purchases ol bonds will
be made directly with gold. At a time ot the
year so critical to producers, tbe President will
not withdraw currency from the channels ol
trade and commerce; he will not send gold
into tbe market and sell it tor currency to lock
up in the Treasury vaults. Such a procedure
would reduce the value ot our entire products;
to buy and lock up our currency now, and thus
make money scarce aud dear, would distress all
ot the producers of the country, and benefit
nobody but usurers and speculators. This error
will not be committed. No Administration can
desire a money panic, aud, as a consequence
low prices tor produce, upon the eve ol the
Fall elections.”
“ The policy of the President is, then, as re
vealed by his acts, to appreciate the values of
all government securities preparatory to the
making of an effort to lessen the rates of inter
est on the Public Debt—to honestly collect the
revenues—to reduce expenditures. This pol
icy, if successful, will enable the Administra
tion to place our finauces upon a solid founda
lion, and to reduce the taxes ”
“ Such is the financial policy of the President
as developed by bis acts. It is at once simple
aud efficient. By strengthening our credit we
carry our bonds to par in gold; by becoming
able to obtain mon y at 4 or 4^ per cent, we can
save 14 or 1 per cent, per year upon our whole
debt. Contests between Government and bond
Holders are likely to lessen tlie value of bonds
and destroy our hope of reducing the rate of
interest from 6 to 4 per cent, per annum. The
policy of the President is wisest and best It is
nouest, simple and statesmanlike. It will suc
ceed it adhered to anil vigorously maintained,

Yesterday, commencement day ot the Med

The Doctor advocated sectionality, without

Gen. Lee in educational advancement.
It iB due to Dr. Lipscomb to say that he
was very much indisposed, yet all were charmed

with brilliant imagery, and eloquent with

the party with cost, or direct the cost to be paid

Hospitals.
Sadowa, between tbe Prussian and Austriajb ar
mies, decided a9 one of its results that large hos
pitals are prejudicial to the health ol their in
mates. After that engagement, the wounded
were removed to large hospitals, to tents, snd to
huts made of wood, and there was such a great
difference between the results of the treatment
ot the wounded in the large hospitals, and in
the tents and huts that tbe German Surgeons
had their eyes opened £B the fact that hospitals
on a large scale were apt to shorten rather than
prolong the lives of patients. The British
Medical Association has recently given the sub
ject a very thorough discussiou, and their opin
ions are against large hospitals of all kinds, abd
against old hospitals, and against large wards.
Tbe larger a hospital is, the more difficult it is
to secure to tbe sick the great essentials of pure
air, pure water, and perfect cleanness. Sir
James Simpson, at the Association, said that it
was impossible to deny the pernicious effects of
large hospitals; that the cottage hospitals in the
country were lar superior to the great London
hospitals ; that the architecture of a large hos
pital is apt to sacrifice sanitary requirements to
beauty—ornament, in these instances, too ofteu
means the creation ol corners which delay and
stagnate the air.
We are needing a hospital very much in our
city, in fact, do not see how it has been possible
to get along without oue. We learn that the
city authorities are thinking over the matter.
