Kulcaiional —While bringing to the notice
of < ur people the varied interests of & general
charset r v»iiich concern them, we would by
ii<> utc-ans neglect that of education. In this de
partment of our'public enterprises, we most ac
knowledge ouraelve* behind many of our sister
towns nod cities. The recent resurrection of
<»ir c ty from iis ashes must, in a great measure,
account tor iLia. We have had such an Im-
iiienst a <>ik to perform, so many interests to look
slier, it could not I>p reasonably expected that
everything Could be <ione that was necessary to
lie done. True, we aie uot without educational
ad vantages. Our city is dotted with private
schools iu al nost every neighborhood. 1 bese
are accessible to the most of our citizens, and
art .rd the mems of obtaining instruction to all
who are able to pay for it. But this is not al! we
want. Our commanding position as a city—so
healthy, so accessible to all the surrounding
country troin every point—indicates Atlanta as
the very place for schools of the highest grades.
What we want, in the first place, is a university
well endowed for the education of our sons, and
oth'-rs lrotu distant points. Such we expect
shortly to have in Oglethorpe College. This
seems to be conceded on al) hands. Next, we
waut a Female College—such, for instance, as the
one in M.ieon. This being accomplished we can
then re?t from our labors in this behalf, UDtil
the wants of our rapidly growing city shall de
mand additional facilities ot education. In this
connection we would call attention to a system
r.I free schools for our whole city population.
The education of the masses is a grand dissider-
atum in all civilized governments. The poor
and the rich are equally interested in it. Learn
every boy and girl in the land the rudiments of
an English education, and vice and crime would
soon hide their heads, and virtue, good order,
and piety pervade the land. Our City Council
sometime s nee had this matter in baud, and we
hoped to sec it speedily pushed on to its final
consummation. We have heard nothing of it
tor some time, and we arc at a loss to know
what has become of the enterprise. We ven
ture to assert that there is none which our city
authorities have ever inaugurated so pregnant
with important results as the one under consid
eration. Prompt and speedy action in this mat
ter is imperiously dcin inded. Hundreds of our
children are growing up in ignorance, and need
the benefits ot the free school now, and every
day is so much time lost. Thus much have we
thought proper to say on this threadbare sub
ject, and though “ a thrice tola tale’* it may be
profitably repeated a thousand times.
Atlanta Print men.—The Augusta Constitu
tionalist of Tuesday last, speaking of the grand
Tournament which is to come oft in Augusta,
on the 22nd inat., among other things has the
following: “There has been some little bitch in
the etlort to obtain quarters for the visiting com
panies, some of the hotels declining to accom
modate them, apprehensive of damage to furni
ture.” Well, this looks nice. We are glad that
the Editor used the word “some.” Augusta
as we wcli know has “some" of the best hotels
in Georgia, and we have no idea that these are
the ones alluded to. A man that would refuse
a flremau shelter aud tood, would murder a
child at its mother’s breast. We are probably a
liltie too sensitive on this subject, but when it
is remembered, that the Fire Companies of At
lanta is one ot our cherished institutions, “bone
of our bone, and flesh of our flesh,” we will be
excused for what we have said. The remark
in the Constitutionalist was general, and applies
as well to the Atlanta companies, as any others
that are expected to visit Augusta on the
occasion of the grand Tournament. We
venture to say lor the Firemen of our city,
and we say it without the tear ot successful con
tradiction, that there is not iu all these lands a
more orderly, well behaved, and genteel class of
men than they are. Composed mostly of me
chanics and working men, they serve the public
without the hope of fee or reward, having in
view only the protection and security ol the pro
perty of their fellow-citizens. We vouch for the
safety of all furniture which these fastid'ous
hotel-keepers have, should any ot our firemen
unfortunately be under the necessity of sojurn-
iug wiih them. We regret very much the ne
cessity w hich impels us to write this article. We
are truly sorry that this report has beea circu
lated, calculated as it is to mar somewhat the
pleasure and enjoyment of the grand tournament
soon to come ofl. But we hope our firemen will
look over this indiscreet manifesto ot “some” ot
the hotel-keepers in Augusta. We have no
doubt they will find a plenty ol better men that
will extend to them the right band ot hospitality,
and that they will have a pleasant time at our
sister city.

Atlanta, February 10, 1870.
Georgia State Agricultural Society.—
We dropp d in this morning at the City Hall,
and had the pleasure ot witnessing the delibera
tions of the Executive Committee, ot the above
Society, now in session in our city. The Com
mittee was called to order by Co). B. C. Yancey,
President of the Society.
A communication to the President was re
ceived and reft ned without being read. The
President made a verbal report, in reference tc
the location ot the Fair grounds. As between
the location at Bellwood and West End, he de
cidedly preferred the latter. Bellwood, he said,
is two miles and a bail lrom the city, and West
End only a mile aad a quarter. 1 be latter lo
cation having a decided advantage in point of
topography, accessibility, &c.
Mr. Obear offered a resolution to the effect
that the city authorities locate the place for es
t&blishing the Fair grounds.
Judge Schley favored the resolution of Mr.
Obear, and expressed himself in favor of Bell
wood, inasmuch as the city already owned the
property. It was located on the State Road,
and every facility could be afforded lor visiting
the grounds. Mr. Livingston was decidedly in
favor of the West End location on account ot
its convenience, accessibility and topography
He said be would prefer for the Society to pur
chase tue grounds at West End, and ask the
Legislature for an appropriation to pay tor it,
provided the Society could not command the
means to do so. Mr. Buchanan tavored the
resolution of Mr. O’Bear, sustaining his position
by a few pertinent remarks. Gen. Colquitt also
favored the proposition to leave the question of
location to the City Council, with certain con
ditions. The General fs generally right on all
questions which come beiore him lor his action.
Col. Yancey said ihe remarks made by him
were mere suggestions, and he only intended
them as such.
After a desultory debate, in which a number of
the members participated. Mr. Cheats’ resolu
tion was adopted, l apt. True moved to take a
vote on the choice of locations. After some
discussion this was withdrawn. Mr. Raw-
son proposed the old fair ground as a suitable
place for the new. No final action was taken
on this proposition, but the Committee post
poned action upon it, until they could go and
examine the premises. Committee on premiums
presented their report which was read in part,
and amended in some particulars. To meet the
time lor going to press this evening, we wrere
compelled at this point in the proceedings to
leave. We regret to find among the committee
some dissatisfaction as regards the selection
made by the City Council ot a place to locate
the Fair. They doubtless did the best they
could UDder the circumstances. The mat’er no
doubt will be amicably and satisfactory adjusted
before the adjournment of the committee, and
measures be promptly inaugurated to carry out
the designs lor the State Fair.
Trade of Atlanta.—The immense amount
ot goods sold in Atlanta lrom year to year, is a
myth to tnauy. Located in a section ot country
where the hinds are generally poor, the local
trade of its vicin’ty must necessarily be insig
nificant. Wheuco then comes ihe vast trade
which sustains ihe immense multitude ot her
merchants, aud her thirty thousand papulation.
The answer is r> adlly at hand. She has tour
railroads concentrating at this point. This gives
her access to al! the world, so tar as the obtain
ing of supplies is concerned. It is an old ad
age, but no less old than true, that “wheresoever
the carcas is, there will the eagles be gathered
together.” Atlanta is the grand Depot lor pro
visions ol the Slate. Hence, she draws her trade
for hundreds o! miles in every direction.—
Besides this, her country trade is not confined
to her immediate viciqity. Those having no
railroad lacilitics come with their wagons from
fitly to a hundred miles This is quite an item
in our trade. To leed and ciothc and furnish
cigtrs, liquor, and other luxuries tor thirty
thousand people is quite an item in ilselt Be
sides this, many of our country merchants buy
their st<K-ks of goods lrom our wholesale mer-
chauis hue, finding it to their interest to do so
in pielerence to goinr to New York and other
distant markets. These thiugs, hnd many others,
taken into the account, explain the myth why
Atlanta has such an iinmcus • trade. Thus go
ing on prospering audio prosper Atlanta will
vie with any city of the South in trade and
commerce. Weil may our citizens be proud of
their city on account ot her high position in
the commercial world.
“ Lo! the Poor Indian.”— So we say of the
“ poor negro." We leant from the last issue ol
the 2fsnroe Advertiser, that a great mortality
prevails among the colored population ot that
county. We know, even iu our ow n city, that
troin the moituary reports, the deaths of the
blacks vastly exceed Uiu&e ol the whites. This-
is doubtless the result oi their new status.
When in a state of slavery tlicir wants were all
supplied. Food, raiua«.ni and medical attend
ance, were furnished by the masters, and the
consequence was that their general health was
better than that ot the white people. But the
whole progi&mtue is now changed. Thrown
up >n their own resources, many ot them are in
capable. with the best intentions on their part,
of managing their ow n .ffiirs, and consequent
ly fail short ol ptoviding the meacs ot a com
tunable subsistence. Others are idle, dissipated
and vicious, live hard on scanty and unwhole
some loud, without the means ot procuring
medical attention, and sickness &Dd death must
l,_ ,h jne.itable result. This is a deplorable
flare ol things, «nJ we eau conceive ol no
remedy tor it We see no chance for the “ poor
negro” but tor the race ultimately to runout
like the “ Poor Indian.”
State Fair-Important Action by the
City Council, &c.—The City Council ot
Atlanta has entered into an agreement with the
Executive Committee of the Georgia State Agri
cultural Society by which it is agreed that the
city of Atlanta will undertake all the work and
expense ot building and fitting up the Fair
Grounds and such other arrangements as are
deemed necessary for the proper administration
ot a successful Fair to be held in this city in
the year 1870, and in consideration of all this
the city is to control the whole proceeds result
ing from the enterprise.
ThiB is an important action on the part of
our City Fathers, and one which will in all
probability result in an immense amount of bene
fit to the Gate City. In the rapid strides which
Atlanta is making on the road to prosperity,
nothing could induce more to the furtherance of
that end than the establishment within her limits
of a large, handsome, and convenient Fair
Ground. Thousands of people will visit us on
the occasion who will spend an immense amount
of money here, besides attracting great attention
to this point as the grand receptacle of the
works of genius,industry and energy in Georgia,
and other States.
We hope that the City Council will carry out
its part ot the contract in becoming style, be
lieving as we do, that much good will result to
the city if such action is taken as will make the
Fair a success beyond any peradventure.
Among the many wants in this behalf, few
are more pressing than some fine and spacious
hotel accommodation, and this should at once
be taken in hand by some person as a private
enterprise. Atlanta can insure a good support
to such an establishment at all times, and such
will be particularly the case on the occasion in
question.
Death op Mrs. Hillyek.—We see in the
Christian Index, of ihe 10th inst., an account,
by Rev. W. T. Brantly, ot the death ot Mrs
Elizabeth Hillyer, eldest daughter of Rev. John
S. Dagg, D. D. Her death was very sudden.
She was sitting at the supper table, apparently
in good health, was taken ill, and died in a few
minutes. Dr. Brantly devotes a column ot the
Index to the memory oi this good and amiable
woman. Truly “ in the midst ot life we are in
death.”
Mercer University —The removal of this
justly celebrated Institution is beieg discussed
in the public prints. Mercer University has a
reputation of being one among the best literary
institutions in this State She has a large en
dowment, and has tor many years been dispens
ing her educations] benefits to the youth ot oar
State Atlanta opens her aims to this Institu
tion. Come and cast in your lot among ns and
“we will do thee all the good we can.” We
can support several colleges, and we invite
them to come.
Coroner’s Inquest.—Coroner Kile held
inquest yesterday over the body of MaJdarine
Underwood, a white girl about fifteen yean
age. The evidence was very voluminous and
contradictory, most of it being irrelevant The
following tacts were, however, ascertained be
yond question:
The body of deceased was found in a valley
between Peachtree and Marietta roads, just out
side of the city limits. Such braises were dis
covered on the bead as clearly indicated that
death ensued from a blow or tlows inflicted
there by the use of some blunt instrument.
The jury returned a virdict to the effect that
the deceased came to her death lrom a blow in
flicted on her head by an instrument in the hands
of some person, to the jury unknown.
There are several persons suspicioned as the
perpetrators of this dark crime, but we forbear
mentioning names as it might defeat the officers
of the law in their efforts to bring the partita to
justice. Justice Thomas Spencer was present
at the inquest and rendered valuable assistance
to Coroner Kile, both in the conduct of the
examination, and in taking down the evidence.
Assault.—Ja.na Jones, e negro woman,
caused Louis Huff, a fancy looking member of
the negro band, to be carried before Justice
Smith, yesterday afternoon to answer the charge
of having drawn a pistol upon her ladyship,
with intention to do violence. Huff brought up
liis band and they swore so hard lor him that
Jane was compelled to dismiss the warrant.
The Blockade in Chattanooga —Much has
been said in the public prints about the block
ade of freight designed for this, and other points
beyond. There may have been some ground
tor complaint on this account some days ago,
but the moving of two handled cars per day,
for several days past, has removed the pressure,
and the blockade now is on the other side.as one
of the trains sent to Chattanooga a day or two
eince, had to lie over for want of freight, there
being but fifty-four car loads ready tor transpor
tation at that time. This is as it should be.
Let justice be done though the Heavens fall.”
Cosmopolitan Monthly.—We regret to learn
that this literary periodical, successor to “ Scott’s
Monthly Magazine,” has suspended. The editor
and publisher announces that “ owing to the
heavy pressure on the money market, and the
failure on the part of the Southern people to
sustain the magazine, it becomes necessary to
suspend its publication for the presenL” To the
very few who have generously aided him in the
effort to establish a standard magazine in the
South, he returns his heartfelt thanks. We re
gret to see this enterprise fail; but when Dr. W.
J. Scott started the enterprise iu our city, we pre
dicted its ultimate failure He sustained it much
longer than we expected, bat it has finally gone
the way of all similar enterprises which have
been started at the South heretofore. How much
soever we may regret the failure of this enter
prise, we would warn all who may have capital
to invest in a 1 terary work of this kind, to look
to this beacon light, and be warned by the disas
ters of those who have gone before them. The
South is not prepared to sustain a literary jour'
nal of a high standard, and whoever tries it will
find it so.
“ Speed the Plow."—Now is the time for
plowing. The plow is the main instrument in
Agriculture. It is all important to use it at the
proper time and use it well. The weather lor
several days past fris been favorable tor out
door work. The spring time will soon be upon
us, and it behooves every farmer to tie piepared
for it. The time has come when oats ought to
be sowed. Soon corn planting time will come,
and soon thereafter cotton planting time. So it
will be a busy time with our planters for some
months to come. Every man who has any
experience in farming is well aware of the im
portance of having his ground well prepared
befote he plants his seed. This being done, he
may consider his crop half made when he gets
it planted. We have seen farmers, irom one
cause or another, neglect to plow their ground
and plant by running a furrow, depositing the
seed and covering them. A dry spell of weather
intervenes, and when they get ready to break
the balks, a9 it is tnrned, the ground is so hard
it cannot be done. The consequence is, the
ground remains unbroken and the crop fails.
We say, then,
“ Speed the plow—plow early and plow deep.
And yon will ha^e corn to sell and to ke°p,”
More Amusement.—We are pleased to in
form the people ot Atlanta that the McCullock
and Brignoli Italian Opera Troupe will visit us
on the seventh of March, and perform the
nights, viz : On the 7th, 8th and 9th of said
month. The operas for these several occasions
will be “ Martha,” “ Lucia,” and “ Trovatore.”
Plantation Bitters is the oldest prepared
tonic in the world. It was well known in the
West India Islands sixty years ago. It was then
prepared and sold by one Pedro Mortell, who
inherited it from his father; so that it is safe lo
date its origin back at least one hundred years,
The components ot which it is composed are
precisely the same, save that the present proprie
tors have added thereto Calisaya or King's Bark,
known the world over as possessing the most
beneficial tonic properties oi any that a kind
Providence has provided us.

False Colors on the Fore-top 1—Whoever
saw the natural tinge renewed in gray hair by a
hair die? No one. Who can distinguish the
browns and blacks brought out by Phalon’s Vi-
talia, or Salvation for the Hair, lrom Nature’s?
No one. And mark, it leaves no Btain on the

Death op Mrs. Mart J. Hunt.—This esti
mable lady died in our city on Sunday last.—
We offer condolence to the bereaved husband,
and the numerous friends and relatives of the
deceased. From a long acquaintance with this
truly good woman, we can venture to say that
“Death loves a shining mark.” Her uniform
Christian walk, her devoted affection for her
husband and relatives, constituted her an ex
ample woithy of imitation. But she hits gone
iroui the evii to come. She sleeps quietly in
t lie grave. Rest in peace kind soul.
Meningitis.—We learned from a physician
yesterday that there has not been a new case of
meningitis daring the last four or five days. It
may now be considered as having finally sub
sided.
Cooke writes Mrs. CL, the following brief and
pithy note: “ I have lett tor parts unknown.—
you will never see me again.” Mrs. Cooke has
reason to be thankful it this be true.

On the Legal Tender Act*
The decision recently rendered by the Su
preme Court at Washington on the legal tender
act is exciting in business circles throughout the
country much interest. The decision, itself,
was pronounced by Chief Justice Chase, three
ot the Justices of the Court assenting and three
dissenting. The Chief Justice, it is said, in de
livering the decision, though in an indirect man
ner, dealt several severe blows at congressional
assumption. Commenting upon it the Balti
more Gazette says:
“The decision itself, important as it is, is ren
dered vastly more so by the able, so and and in
dependent manner in which it is delivered. It
is a decision which makes one feel for a moment
that the Constitntion is not a myth, and liberty
not a sham. The mauy points discussed by
Chief Justice Chase as to the rights of Congress
to issue paper money, to declare it legal tender
for any debts whatever, to resort to it as a war
measure, are ot secondary importance.
There is, however, another question, inciden
tally referred to, which is a most important one.
That is, the rights ct States to regulate their
own currency, which Mr. Chase says they have
the power to do, * subject, as has been lately
determined, to the control of Congress, for the
purpose ot establishing and securing a National
currency.’ Mr. Chase does not say whether or
not such control is constitutional, and as he now
boldly declares that t ie issue of greenbacks,
which he himself advocated and fathered, was
in some respects, it not in all, dishonest and un
constitutional, there is no reason that he should
not declare his own favorite pet National bank
system an outrage upon the Constitution and a
fraud upon the people.”
Mortality Among tee Blacks.—The ne
groes in this section appear to be dying very
rapidly. They do not receive the attention that
was bestowed upon them by their masters “be
fore freedom came oat,” and the consequence is,
they do not often survive any serious illnem—

FREIGHTS AT CHATTANOOGA,

Excitement In Brunswick.
We received, last night, the following commu
nication from a responsible source:—Edk.
Brunswick, Februaiy 11,1870.
On Tuesday last the grand jury o! Glynn
county, in their general presentments, read in
Court, censured Judge Sessions tor bis action in
bailing a criminal convicted of assault with in
tern to murder, and against whom an indictment
was 'hen standing for murder in the first degree.
The Judge was highly indignant at the time,
but dismissed the jury lor the balance of the
term. Subsequently, in chambers, he ordered a
fine of twenty-five dollars against each juror, or
twenty-five days in jail, tor contempt. The jury
have refused to pay the fine, and say they leel
they have done but their duty, and have resolved
to go to jail in a body. There being no j til in
Brunswick, the Sheriff will bring them to Sa
vannah. They will leave here ou Friday, 11th
instant, on the Nick King. It is their intention
to sue out a writ of habeas corpus before Judge
Schley, upon their arrival in Savannah.
A bitter feeling against Judge Sessions pre
vails extensively among the citizens heie Their
trip to the Nick King’s wharf to-day will be a
grand ovatiou. The citizens will turn out en
masse to escort them.
The people regard them almost as martyrs.—
They honor them as bold and fearless in the dis-
chaigeof their doty, and as men who do their
duty, it they have to reproach the ermine ot the
jndiciary.
They may conclude to pay the fine to-day
when they assemble. I have no idea they will,
however. Amicus.
A Snake in the Grass.—Florida has a lite
rary cancer on her lair bosom, which onuses the
natives excruciating suffering and mortification.
Fortunately it is sporadic, and not epidemic,
however. It owes this affliction to its climate,
and not to any imprudence. In the midst of
one ot its balmiest forests this irigbtlul gnawing
cancer has commenced work. The presence of
it disturbs the simple yonng State throughout
all ot its members, and causes them to acli -
with loathing and anguish. This literary cancer
has, for reasons best known to itself, assumed
the form of a woman, whose teeth, sharpened
by an apetite for calumny, fasten upon the very
vitals ot honor itself, and do so scratch and tear
at it that it cannot be distinguished by the owner.
What the rustic and remote people ot the land
of flowers have ever done that such a malignant
Medusa, in the form of a literary cancer, should
fasten her tangs in them and build a nest in
their midst for her snakes is an inscrutible mys
tery. The horror is intensified by the thing’s
ussumed fondness for oranges and the cultivation
of them, which it combines as a recreation with
biting the hand that ieeds it and work
ing itself into a paroxysm of hysterics over the
imagined crimes of my Lord Byron.—Louisville

Georgia’s Reconstruction.
Under the foregoing heading, the Nashville
Banner, a Democratic paper* thus approves ol
he course of the Intelligencer. W bile sev
eral of the Democratic papers of this State
seem to delight in denouncing the course we
have pursued, in regard to reconstruction, we
are gratified to see that it is receiving the appro
val of Democratic papers elsewhere, whose
democracy has never been questioned, and is
above suspicion:
From the Nashville Republican B inner.
“ The conviction cannot be resisted that the
reconstruction ot the State of Georgia, as dicta
ted by Congress and the Federal authorities, is a
foregone conclusion, however distasteful to
many of its people and a large number of its
editors and politicians that plan ot reconstruc
tion may be. Ot course, those interested look
ers-on outside of the State, who sincerely sym
pathize with the people of Georgia in the
po'itical afflictions that have been visited
upon them, in . common with the peo
pie ot other Southern States, can well appre
ciate how obnoxious many ot the provisions of
that reconstruction enactment may be. At the-
sarae time they cannot ignore the fact that a
few ot the more impracticable presses ot the
State have exhibited an intolerance of spirit
and indulged a bitterness of invective and de
nunciation calculated rather to increase the
difficulties anti cloud the reason and stir the
passions of their readers, than inculcate the les
sons of moderation and patience, and encourage
the exercise of cool-headed and sure-looted
judgment, that they might the more effectively
cope with their adversaries. To this class, an
influential and widely circulated Democratic
organ, the Atlanta Intelligencer, reads a
wholesome lecture, when it says:
The people ol Georgi*have seen and witness
ed great intolerance ou the part ot certain news
papers in the State for the last three years, and
we do not hesitate to state, that in our judgment,
the press ot Georgia has done more harm
to the people and country generally, than
any other power or influence since the war Thus
has been the result of bad newspaper adminis
tration. Like all other business, its suec, ss and
usefulness always depends upon the honesty
and laithtulDess of those who conduct and con
trol it in every department of business. We
tru-d the day will again come when the people
oi Georgia can boast ot a pure and undcfiied
press—a press that will tell the truth and vindi
cate the right.
‘The course of the Intelligencer, ss we
have observed it, in contrast with that of us
more healed and impulsive contemporaries, has
furnished an example which they might have
emulated with much profit to themselves and
the promise of more certain peace to their tel—
low-Georgians under duress. Realizing that
the Congressional plan ot reconstruction of the
State is virtually an accomplished fact, it does
not attempt to deceive iis readers, tut submits
to the infliction, and says ‘it is folly to indulge
in sophomore displays of damning denuncia
tion, for they will not meet the emergency.’
These vie as it declares, with emphasis, in a
double-leaded editorial,in its issue ot last Friday,
lrom which we make the following significant
extract:”
** The day has passed for mrre political excite
ment. The ambitious for public honors and lor
places must restrain their ambi.ion. The peo
ple are sick ot the political strife ot the day.
and desire peace. They recognize in its fullness
that they have not the power to prescribe the
terms of peace; that they mast accept those
which have been forced upon them, and bide
the future for relief from ali that in those terms
are unjust, iniqaitojs, or oppressive.”
“ This is surely the wisest course to pursue
under the circumstances. The next best thing
the people of Georgia might do, would be to
seize by the collar and seat l)f the breeches, the
noisiest of their reckless, wrong-headed and
worse-hearted political leadeis, and hoist them
out of their way. Thus only will the ship ot
State right herself, and permit carpet-bag radi
calism to destroy itself or die its natural and in
evitable death. Thus, too, will they kill two
obscene birds with one stone.”
