Let an econo mical measure be adopted aad it will wotk Well- Mr. Bryaut advocated tbe bill as re pored and argued that the present systim is deftetive in having incompetent teachers, and that this bil is to correct tlnii evil; that the on ly increase oi expense over the old system is the pay ot teachers, and that the amount to be expended for support of theachools is leit with the people; that the bill was unanimously agreed upon, by the committee, and that be had hoped it would be adopted without difficulty. Mr Price advocated the bill; he said that he is a nit.vc of this Stale, and that he had never been N.-nh, but that he was glad to have good advice tiom any gentleman irom any quartet; that this is juat as economical as it coula be and ibat the warns of both races are harmonized, aud that not only tax payers but the qualified voters are to be taxed lor its support; that we ate lehind in educational progress, and be be lieves the people are willing to be taxed for the blessings of education for the r children. Mr. Phillips offered a substitute tor the bill reported I y the committee. Mr Darnell read from manuscript and argued that t ie language of the Constitution of Georgia had been thus tar disregarded iu this, that no provisions had been made for educational pur poses in conformity with tbe requirements thereof—that this constitutional provision is the greatest blessing that the p jor man has granted to him. ., Mr. Turner said that he was soon to think that nativity had anything to do with the action of this House on so important a question, and that he did not think the substitute was entitled to as much consideration as the bill which had been so carefnlly prepared by an intelligent committee. Be called the previous question on tbe adoption ot Ibe bill by sections. Section 1st was adopted. Section 2d was amended so as to require the meeting of the board to be held at the office of the State School Commissioner. Section 3 was adopted, and section 4 was adopt ed. Od motion ol Mr. Bryant, the House decided to hold an afternoon session from 4 to A o’clock, to consider the remaining sections of this bill. Mr. Riwls, Chairman, pro tem , ot the Com mittee on Banks, recommended the passage ot the following bill, to-wit: A bill to incorporate the Macon Banking Company. Also, that the following bills do not pass, to- wit : A bill to incorporate the Cuthbert Banking, Loan and Trust Company; a bill to incorpo rate the Savings Bank ot Savannah ; and a bill to alter und amend tbe laws in relation to inter est charged by banks, Ac. The following message was received from the Governor : Executive Department, 1 Atlanta, Ga., August 23, 1870.) To the General Assembly: The Executive Committee of the State Agri cultural Society has called my attention to the fact that the annual appropriation provided for by au act assented to December 20,1860, has not been paid. The tenor of the act retered to, is, “that the sum ol twenty five hundred dollars per annum be, and the same is hereby appropri ated to the said Society, to be expended under the direction of the Executive Committee ol said Society in the purchase of premiums to be distributed by said Society, and in such other ways as may appear most conducive to the gen eral purpose ot t-aid Society as aforesaid.” By the same act the tilte ol “The Southern Central Agricultural Society,” is changed to the present title ot "The Georgia State Agricultural Society.” It will be observed that tbe sum of twenty- five hundred dollars is made as an annual ap propriation, and this amount has remained un paid ior ten years, the State is, therefore a debtor to the Society in the sum of twenty-five thou sand dollars, including the present fiscal year. A Convention, composed of Delegates ap pointed by the Agricultural Societies of the several counties in the State, has lately been in session at the Capital, and the members of your honorable body are doubtless entirely familiar with the deliberations ot that Convention through the published reports of its proceedings. It may not be improper, however, lor me to re fer to the fact that the members of that Conven tion represented nearly, if not entirely, the whole agricultural interest of the Sta*e, and its membership was composed oi gentlemen who are practically and extensively tngaged in agri cultural pursuits. The renewed interest in an improved system of agriculture, which has been stimulated by the efficient efforts of the Agricultural Society, during the last two years, has resulted in a very considerable enlargement of the sphere, and ot the capacities of the Society, lor promoting the objects of its organization. Under the consti tution adopted at the late Convention, all tbe County Societies in tbe State will be represented, and henceforth the annual meet ings of the Society will, in fact, be a congress composed ot representatives selected by the practical agriculturists of the State. And the result of such an interchange ot views and experiences supplemented and sustained by proper legislation, cannot fail to be bt incalcu lable bent fit to the best interests ol the State both locial and material. The varied and some times conflicting intercourse wh : ch must neces sarily exist between capital nnd labor will thus be guided and controlled in pi oper channels, and we as a people will be able to realize largely increased returns from an intelligent invest ment ot capital and management ot labor. It is perhaps true that heretofore inquiry has been directed almost exclusively to the culture of cotton, but the present purpose of the Society embraces not only evety character of culture Which can be made advantageous in our soil and climate, but also indirectly tbe development oi our valuable mineral resources, and the utiliza tion ot the power which now lie dormant in our coal and water courses. Under the auspices of this society struggling unaided through the wreck and ruin that fol lows tbe close of the war, our people were en abled to derive the benefit of the largest display which has ever been made at a tair within that State, at the annual exhibition given in Macon, in November last. And the tapid and extraor dinary progress which is now being made in preparation for tbe next annual exhibition at Atlanta, gives ample evidence that the society has been largely benefitted by its experience in M&cou, and also that the coming exhibition will be one of which evet y citizen ot the State may justly feel proud. The annual appropriation which is provided tor in the act approved December 20,1860, is one which is due to the society, and will con tinue to tall due uutii that act i~a repealed. And if any reason was necessary to urge upon tiie State the proprit ty ol meeting fully this obligation a sufficient one is found iu tbe great practical good which is being (tone by tbe sue eiy. In the successtul management «.| the affairs of the So ciety heteiolore, we h ive amp e security that appropriations made by the State will be care— fully husbanded aud economically expended in such a inauner as to insure lo the State ct large a liberal return tor the comparatively small amount annually advanced. In view ot the fact i hat a large number ot the members of your honorable body rank among tbe first ol our agriculturalists, and first among tbe managers ot our extensive system ot railway communication, I led that it is supt-ifiuous tor me to add argu ment to what I nave alieady said iu regard to the usefulness ot this Socieiy, or to sustain the other fact, that upon successlul agriculture de pends the prosperity of our iailways and the proper prosecution of all mechanical aud met cantile pursuits. 1 would, therefore, respectfully recommend to your honotable body that aporopriatiou b’ made whereby the amount now due the Agricultural Society can be paid or secured to it for its uses, and tied ihe act be so amended that for the fu ture the annual appropriation for premiums, etc., be at least tea thousand dollars. With 'his increased annual appropriat'on the Society will be able to make vtry considerable^ progress in the establishment and operation of a Bureau ot Agriculture Chemistry, and I would respectfully suggest to your honorable body that the valuable information to be derived irom ex perimental agriculiure under scientific control can be better disseminated through the agency ot the State Sceiety than under the independent management oi a State official. Rufus B. Bullock. Leaves of absence were granted to Messta. McArthur, Barnes, Allen and Seale. Pending the discussion of section 5 in the educational bill, the Honse was declared ad journed until 4 o’clock, P. M. HOUSE—AFTERNOON SESSION. The school bill was resumed. Mr. Bethune moved to amend the 5 b section by inserting county, instead of State Board, but the amendment was not passed, and the origi nal section was adopted. Sections 6 and 7 a t-re adopted. Mr Harper, ot r» rred, moved to amend sec tion 8 by saying that the School Commissioner should have taught school five years and be a resident of rids Stale. The amendment was r« jeered and tLe ngitial stctinn wo= am-pted. Sw ti -ns 8 auo y w< re adopted. Mr. Beibuue moved lo strike out section 10.— Which motion did not prevail, and tbe section was adopted. Sections 11 and 12 were adopted. Mr. Beard moved to strike “color" from tbe fourth line of the IStb section. Which motion did not prevail and tbe section was adopted.

Section lo was adopted. On motion of Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, sec tion 16 was amended so as to cause tbe election for members of tbe County Board to be elected on tbe 8th day of November next, after which the section was adopted. Sections 17,18,19,20, and 21, were adopted. Mr. Bawles moved to strike oat section 22, which motion prevailed. > The hour of adjournment having arrived, the House was declared adjourned until 9, A.M., to-morrow. THIRTY-FIFTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. Wednesday, August 24, 1870. SENATE. The Senate met pursuant to adjournment, and was called to order by tbe President. Prayer by Rev. Wesley Prettyman. Tbe Roll was called, and the Journal of fast day read and approved. Leave ot absence was granted Mr. Mathews. Mr. Candler offered a resolution that 100 copies ot the bill to amend certain sections of tbe Code, relating to tbe city of Savannah, be printed for the use of tbe Senate. Adopted. Mr. Higbee offered a resolution that all bills before tbe standing committees, shall be printed lor the use of tbe Senate, when the respective committees deem it expedient. Adopted. A message from the Governor in reference to tbe agricultaral interests of tbe State was then read, and on motion was referred to Committee on Agriculture and Manufacturing. Mr. Conley introduced a bill to create a judi cial circuit to be composed ot Columbia, Rich mond and Burke counties to be called the Au gusta Circuit. Mr. Button introduced & bill to authorize tbe corporation of tbe City of Bainbridge lo levy a tax against the Telegraph, Express and Railroad Companies at that place; also, to relieve the Hook and Ladder lire Company of Bainbridge from jury and road duty; also, to authorize the Governor to effect a loan of the State ior tbe purpose of paying members of tbe Legislature. Tbe special order ot the day being the bill re lating to the City of Savannah, was then taken up. Campbell, colored, continued with vim, to vindicate what he considered lo be the greatest rights ol his race. He asked with excited in terest, that the bill be put upon its passage and passed. Mr. Higbee moved that the bill be taken up by sections. Which motion was adopted. Mr. Wootten then offered a substitute for cer tain sections ot the bill providing ior the holding ot elections in the city; also, lor tbe removal of nuisance, and assessment of damages in cases therein provided. Mr. Wootten calmly and dispassionately sup ported the substitute, and invited Senators who are advocating the original bill to this basis of compromise, in which he said greater conces sions are made by the opponents of the bill than by those who now espouse it. Campbell again spoke with passionate enthu siasm, recounting past evils, past difficulties and confusion, and “predicting coming strife and bloodshed. Bradley, rose to a point of order; be said that “ he can’t stand it ”—that tbe Senator ought not to be declaiming here “about fighting,” but should address himself to tbe substitute. Tbe President decided the point of order not well taken, and Campbell continued. Mr. Hinton believed the substitute here pro posed would remedy all the evils complained of; that the laws especially regulating aud controll ing the elections in the city ot Savannah, would be so altered as to increase tbe facilities tor bal loting, and at the same time afford more effec tual protection to every voter—that it would work harm to nobody, but universal good to all. He said be would rather see some Senator who favors the original bill take up some line of ar gument different irom that already marked out, which was only an ebullition of passion, recitals of war and bloodshed, and anything but a cairn deliberation by sensible and reasonable gentle men of a Senatorial body. Mr. Smith, (7th,) submitted a constitutional objection to the bill in which he contended that its provisions allowed persons to vote at elec tions when the Constitution prohibits the same tor the non payment of taxes. He opposed the- Dill loudly and rather furiously, and believed that it elections should ever be held in thatcity under such a law, that it would get up an “ Irish wedding ” too extensive ior the police force to wait upon. Mr. Hungerford advocated the bill without amendment. He said that it was nrcessnry to have precincts in all large cities to ox eud me privilege of voting to alL That Savannah is a large city and her citizens ought, on election days,to have great facilities lor voting, and not be compelled to crowd her population around one place, in such confusion and disturbance. Mr. Brock asked for peace. His position was that all “conscientious Senators,” who desired peaee K would certainly support the' original bill, as its provisions would secure it. He said, that, to compel between Bix and eight thousand voters to go to the court house in tbe city of Sa vannah, on election days, would necessarily en gender rioting and blood shed ; that this substi tute would cause such a result, while tbe original bill would secure peace. Tbe hour of 1 o’clock having arrived the Pres ident announced the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. House met at the usual hour, an 1 was called to order by Hoa. Mr. Tweedy Speaker pro tem‘ Prayer by Rev. Mr. Crumley. The Journal of yesterday’s proceedings was read. Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, gave notice that he wifi move ior a reconsidetaiio of so much ot yesterday's proceedings iu so for as they relate to tbe passage of the bill to incorporate the North Georgia & Tennessee Railroad Company. Mr. Osgood, by permission of Ihe House, withdrew a bill to amend the act to incorporate the Savannah & Skidaway Railroad. Mr. O’Neal, ot Lowndes, said that he was surprised yesterday to find that the previons question had been called on the adoption of ibe bill to incorporate the North Georgia & Ten nessee Railroad Company; that he is as a gen eral thing not opposed to State aid for railroads, but that to rappori such measures he must be assured of tbe practicability and usefulness of the proposed roads. The> one in question is to run from Rome to within a tew miles of Chatta nooga, a distance of about sixty miles; that the section of country is now provided with means of transportation, and there is scarcely a man there who lives more than fifteen miles from some line of railroad. What a change has come over members ot this House, when in 1868 it was with the utmost difficulty that the Air-Line lioad was supplied with aid from the State; that the “eternal” little city of Rome has already four railroads, and now she wants another, and wants to be the great railroad center of this State, while she is only about twenty-five miles from tbe State line. He argued that the State Road will be greatly injured by this road, and that it is wrong to destroy an enterprise that has cost the State so many millions oi dollara, for it this road is built, the State Road will not only pay nothing to the State, but would bring noth* thing it pufon the market The great haste to get this measure through is because this ring is atraid that they will have to contend with future combinations. Mr. Goodwin said that tbe gentleman from Lowndes did not understand the railroad situa tion, in that section, and that tbe proposed route will rather benefit than damage the State Road, and that be is in iavor of all railroads which will tend to develop tbe resources. Mr. Bryant opposed reconsideration and want ed to know how the State Road can be injured. He said that “it was about time the State Road was dried up," etc. Mr. Tomlin called the previous question on tbe motion to reconsider. Tbe yeas and nays were called for and resulted in—yeas 31; says 74. So tbe motion to recon sider was lost. Among those voting in favor of reconsidera tion were Messrs. Bisson and Holcombe, and those voting against it, Mr. Gnllatt. Mr. Clower, colored, claimed that he bad moved for a reconsideration of the action of this nouse in s'i k og out teetion 22 irom the school bill. 1 h Speaker ru’ed that the motion came too late. Prom which ruling Mr. Clower appealed. Tbe appeal was pat before tbe House and the Speakers ruling was sustained The School bill was taken up and considered by sflCtVma- Sections 23 and 24 were adopted. On motion ot Mr. O’Neal, oi Lowndes, Sec tion 25 was amended so as to require tbe Coun ty Commissioners to report quarterly instead ot annually, alter which the Section, as sounded, was adopted. On motion of Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, tbe words “necessary traveling expenses" were stricken out, after which the 128ih Section was adopted. On motion of Mr. Turner, a Section providing for the appointment ol an Assistant State School Commissioner, with a salary of $1,250 was adopted in lieu of Section 22, which was stricken out. Sections 29 and 31 were adopted. On motion of Mr. Hillyer, the word “may” was inserted instead ol ’-shalTIa the 9th line oi tbe S2d Section, after which the Section as amended, was adopted. Mr. Goodwin moved to amend Section 33 by striking out all after the word “by” in the 7th line ana inserting “a unanimous vote ot all the legal voters of said School District, who may vote at such election.” Mr. O’Neal, ot Lowndes, said he is and al ways will be opposed to mixed schools, and he moved To amend by striking ant all alter the ward “State." Mr. Simms said he was opposed to social equality, because he knows some white and colored men with whom he would not like to be made to associate, bat that he believes a'l such questions as mixed schools will he solved by time, that the subject had been fought in M u,- sachussetts lor 16 years, and yet the prt ju lice was not overcome. Mr. Harrison, of Hancock, said he lav- rs so cial equality, .and said that he wepdd -claim the same rights as any other man nsilfr the stars and stripes. Mr. Porter said that he is not in favor of mixed schools, but does not “believe tbs* the Constitution of the btate will allo'v neb a dis crimination. Mr. Scott argued that It wot£3”be dam legis lation it the law was to declare that both races should be taught together, and that be favored the amend meet to strike oat allot the section after tfce-vford Btate as proposed by Mr. O'Neal Mr. Turner argued that there was no consti tutionality ia tbe section, bat that the Committee had wisely arranged the matter so that neither race would object to it; that he had no idea that his race would ever want mixed schools; he called the previous question on the adoption of tbe original resolution on the main question. The yeas and nays were called for, and the result was: yeas 21,nays 90. Bo the motion to adopt the original section was lost. Mr. Bryant moved to amend by saying that the votes of the two races should be counted seperately. Mr. Scott called the previous question on the motion by Mr. O’Neal, ot Lowndes, to amend by striking out all alter the word State. On the motion to adopt the section as amended by Mr. O’Neal tbe yeas and nays were called lor, with the following result: yeas 79, nays 33 Mr. Scott moved to hold an evening session for the purpose oi finishing the educational bill. Which motion did not preyaiL A message from tbe tienato was received, say ing that the "MU to authorize the Mayor and Council, of Atlanta, to provide for the introduc tion of Water Works,” had passed that body. Several reports were handed ilk by the various standing committees. Leaves ot absence were granted to Messrs. Harper, of Terrell, Cunningham, Richardson, Williams, of Morgan, and Duncan. On motion of Mr.-Fitzpatrick, the House ad journed until 9 A. M., to-morrow. TmaTT-SISTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. Thursday, August 25,1870. SENATE. The Senate met at 10 o’clock, A. M., pursuant to adjournment, and was called to order by President Conley. Prayer by the Rev. Wesley Prettyman. Tbe Roll was called, and tbe Journal oi last day read, and after a slight correction, ap proved. A seat was tendered CoL Jno. -B. Weems, ol Macon. Mr. Higbee moved that the substitute offerred by Mr. Wootten for the 1st section ol the MU relating to the city of Savannah ba considered as a substitute for tbe whole bilL adopted. Mr. Brock renewed his effort i«- a most per suasive manner, aud his time ■nt&a&e «n tob& speech ot tbe previous day baying expired he was followed by Mr. Nundally, who asked Senators not to make this a political, bill. He said this is a mere question ot changing a local law, and not one that can result to the advantage or disadvantage of either political party; this bill has objection able features to many of tbe citizens ot Savan nah, and this substitute is offered as a compro mise measure; it the last election held in that city for Mayor be a criterion, then the difficul ties suggested by Senators do not exist in fact; that there were at that time three ballot boxes at the court house, and the votes woe all polled during one day, and two honrs before the legal hoar tor closing the polls that by this substi tute there would be dow provided three more ballot boxes on tbe outside of the court bouse, making in all six ballot boxes which would give all the facilities now asked for lu the original bill; he argued the necessity oi having a com mon place tor voting, so that should disturb ances occur on daysot election, the entire police force ot the city may be used to suppress them. Mr. Dunning proposed to address himself im mediately to the subject not at band; he pro posed to show that it is impossible to vote seven thousand voters around any one building in tbe city ot Savannah in the time allowed by law; he figured out tbe number of voters and the number of minutes given to each one for the enjoyment of his franchise; in such a position a voter is hurried among masses of excited men, and in the jam, confusion and toe-mashing, he ieels insulted when bo insult Is intended; tbat these are great reasons for adopting the original bill; that these masses ought to’ be scattered and kept apart so they would not tread on each other's toes; and all these various causes of aggravation are removed. After bis remarks, he called the previous question. Mr. Wellborn opposed calling tbe previons question, as there is much else in the bill be sides the question of election. The previous question was put, and tbe sub stitute oi Mr. Wootten voted on. Those voting in tbe affirmative were: Sena tors Burns, Candler, Fain, Griffla of the 6th, Hicks, Hinton, Holcomb, Jordan, McArthur, Nesbitt, Nunnaliy, Richardson, Smith of the 7th, Smith of the 36th, Trayw'ck, Wellborn, and Wootten—17.

Tbe several standing committees made reports on various bills which bad been referred to them. Tbe rules were suspended for the purpose of taking up tbe House bill to incorporate tbe Newnan & Americas Railroad Company. This bill read tbe third time. Mr. Speer moved to strike out of tbe Mil " twenty millions " and insert “ three millions; also, to provide that tbe rood be subject to the same ratio ot taxation as other railroad com panies in tbe State. Mr. Holcomb moved to strike out ol tbe 9 th section the words three hundred feet, and insert in lieu thereof two hundred feet. Mr. Speer's amendment was voted on—yeas 22, nsyes 9. Mr. Holcomb’s amendment was then voted on and passed. Tbe bill as amended was put upon its passage. Passed. The fpfcial order of the day, which was the educational bill, was discharged.

Tbe Journal of yesterday’s proceedings waa read. Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, gave notice that be would move for a reconsideration ot so much of tbe proceedings ot the House, on yesterday, aa relate to allowing Mr. Osgood to withdraw a bill, etc. He aaid tbat be gave thia notice at the re quest oi Mr. Osgood. The Speaker ruled that the bill having been withdrawn by consent of the House that it pawed beyond the control ot the House, and that the gentleman’s motion to reconsider could not be entertained. From which ruling Mr. O’Neal appealed. He claimed that any section of tbis House which amounts to a finality, can be reconsidered, and be agreed that this withdrawal was a finality, as to tbis bill, and the ruling or tbe Speaker would deprive tbe gentleman irom Chatham of tbe right to reinstate his bill on tbe Calendar. Tbe appeal was put before the House, and the Speaker’s ruling was sustained. Mr. Carson offered a resolution tbat the Clerk ot the House be authorized to employ 15 addi tional Clerks, which resolution did not prevail. The school bill was resumed. Sections 34,35 aad 36 were adopted. On motion of Mr. Hinton, Section 37 was amended in the ?th lire, by adding the words "ail taxes State or county,” after the word exe cution. On motion ot Mr. Scott, the Section was fur ther amended by adding the words " tbat nothing In "this bill shall interfere with private schools or private school property,” alter which the section as amended was adopted. Sections $8.39,40, 41,42 and 43 were adopted. Mr. Tumlin moved to strike out irom the 44th Section, the words “ net earnings ot the Western & Atlantic Railroad.” Mr. Anderson said that he is a friend to a just and equitable school system, but tbat to succeed this enterprise should be started with modera tion—that it i* unnecessary to say whether or not the State Road pays—the simple tact that the earnings ot the State Road are given, will array thousands ot our people against the whole measure. Mr. Calffwell moved to amend by inserting “ one-half ” before the words “ net earnings.” Mr. Rice arid ihat we have two schools in each District—tbat the total expense for these schools will amount to oniy about one hundred and seventy thousand dollars, while there is already about five hundred thousand dollars be longing to the school fund, and that he did not obj ct to tbe striking out. Mr. Caldvrell said tbat a certain amount of money donated to school purposes bad been used to build the road now in question, and tbat he was in fovor ot taking bait of the earn ings ol the road for educational purposes. Mr. O'Neal, . of Lowndes, said that since emancipation the number of children to be edu cated has been doubled—he argued that if the net earrings of the State Road are necessary to carrying out tbe school system, they oughtto go that wav. tor if this section is amended as pro posed, and there is a deficit of money, the peo ple will have to be taxed directly to support these schools. Mr. Lee, of Newton, said that he’does not be lieve that the original tax lor educational pur poses amounted to more than one-lourth ot tbe amount now set apart, exclusive of the earnings ol the State Road. Mr Felder said that he is not, nor are his con stituents opposed to tbe education ol colored childfen, but that the people are afraid that the taxes ior the support of schools will be oppres sive, and burdensome to them; and tbat he thinks tbat the other provisions made by law would support an economical system of education without taking the earnings of the State Road. Mr. Bryant said that tbe provisions of this bill in respect to money,-are precisely what the law has already made. He called the previous ques tion on the adoption of the original 44th section, which call was sustained. On the main question to adopt, tbe yeas and nays were called: yeas 49, nays 60. Mr. Bethune said he wanted to inaugurate a system that would not be offensive, but to take away the money from any system would kill it; under the old system there was a fund for tbe education of the poor when no one in ten chil dren embraced the advantages, and if no greater provisions are made, it will be impossible to educate both white and colored children; tbat he believes it will take $3,000,000 a year to carry out a good school system. Mr. Bethune called the previous question on Mr. Caldwell’s amendment Mr. Phillips offered an amendment providing tbat tbe tax lor school purposes in addition to miter provisions, shall not be more than one-fifth of tbe State tax. Mr. Be thane’s call ior tbe previous question was sustained. On tbe main question to adopt Mr. Caldwell’s amendment, there were yeas 56, nays 53. Mr. Bawles moved to strike out all of section 44 after the word fund in line 7th, which motion did not prevail, and tbe section as previously amended!, was adopted. Mr. Scott moved to strike out section 45, on which motion the yeas and nays were called tor, with the following result—yeas 52, nays 46. Mr. Scott proposed a new section, adding tire Chancellor oi the State University, and the Pres idents iff Oxford, Oglethorpe, Mercer and Bow- don Colleges, and ot the Colored University, as members ot the State Board of Education. He said tbat be wanted to rid tbe board of a politi cal complexion and to add these gentlemen who have devoted their lives to education. Mr. Caldwell opposed the section, on tbe ground that he wanted to see no men on the board who it av have antagonistic feelings to the common sch‘-ol system.

AN mPOBTANT MOVEMENT. Water Communication Between Omaha and Savannah and Brunswick. The need of a cheaper and more direct route between the Talley oi tbe Mississippi, or what is more commonly known as the “Great West,” and tbe Atlantic Heabord, has long been felt as a serious draw-back to tbe advancement and pros perity of all that section, traversed by the great “father of waters” and his tributaries. This need has found voice in the innumerable memorials presented to Congress by citizens bt that region. The present outlets have proved inadequate, being uuable to transport more than one-balf ot tbe actual products of that portion of our country. And not only that —freights by the present circuitous routes are necessarily so high as to prove a seriotts detriment to the ag ricultural interests oi the best grain-growing re gion of the world. It is a well established fact that water trans portation is vastly cheaper than that by railroads, which have, up to the present time, been our only means in Georgia, and if we look at the map we will find that tbe only natural outlet to the West, by water, is down the Mississippi to tbe Gulf of Mexico, Now it may be asked why this does not serve tbe purposes of trade ? We an swer—the long calms ol tbe Gulf, and the dan gers of tbe Florida Pass are tbe great obstacles; tbe calms making tbe voyage to Europe so long as to serionsly affect all grains and breadstuffs, be sides adding to the cost of carriage; while the dangers of tbe Florida Pass add, it is estimated, 2} per cent, to tbat cost, in the way of insornnee. This may be better understood when we state that tbis insurance amounts on a brie of cotton worth $100 to two dollars and fifty cents. Them delays and these charges make the Misstalppi, so far as trade is concerned; inadequate, ana consequently we find that cotton raised below Memphis, is annually finding its way. in increased quantities to Norfolk, TUpHa, over tbe Virginia and Tennessee Rail road ; a fact which proves our asser tion, beyond question. The next outlet to whirii we will refer is found by way ot the Great Northern Labes. This we find is partly natnral and partly artificial. A boat leaving Omaha, tbe eastern terminus of tbe Pacific Railroad, would first descend the Missouri and Mississippi rivers to tbe mouth of the Illinois, ascend that stream to tbe head of navigation, and then tranship into a canal boat, which WOhkT transport her cargo, one hundred miles, to Gbi-- cago. There it would be placed on boardof a lake vessel and sent to Bnfialo, from which point it would again find canal and river trans portation to New York. This route is Aflat 1 three thousand miles in length, and the cost of transporting a bushel of grain over it is 68 cents. Another route proposed, is up the Tennessee river to Saltviile, Va. From this point a canal Is impracticable, hence a railroad has to be re sorted to fo Lynchburg, a distance of 176 miles. From Lynchburg there is a canal to Richmond, and from the latter city river navigation to Norfolk. By this route it is claimed tbat something over four dollars can be saved in freight, as compared with present charges to New Yoik. This would be a very great ad vantage, ye’ not so great as that offered by tbe route through Georgia. We find by sn inspection of the map, and are told In Mr. Gaw’s United States Engineer re port, tbat a'canal ol 45 miles may be'cut between tbe Tennessee and Coosa rivers. This would open steamboat navigation between Rome and Omaha. From that p .iut, by nstng the Etowah and upper branches ot the Ocmulgec, and with a CrV"»f of about 57 miles, tbis grand object may be attained. The thing is so palpable, when once suggested, that it needs no professional skill to cemonstrate it. By this route a boat loading at Omaha might discharge her cargo at Savannah, and that at a coat of less than 25 eta. per bu9bel on wheat. This tact can be demon strated. Ii is sufficient. We need no further argument. It tbis canal be practicable, it should be buiiL The west demands an outlet such as it would •afford, aDd in connection with the Pacific Rail road, it bt comes not only uational but conti nental in its iui; ortance. A canal ot this kind by Atlanta is wbat we have long needed. For besides affording cheaper transportation ot the coal and iron used in our manufacturing operations, ft would afford a water power adequate to all our wants. We are pleased to see that the Hon. Roland Hall ot Brans vick, has introduced a resolution Q r inquiry in tne House, and has had it properly retered. This is a step in the right direction, and Mr. Hall has our best wishes for success in his efforts, which we hope to see seconded by eyeiy member in the General Assembly. Tne resolution, we understand, contemplates tbe making ol such investigation into the mat ter sa will enable our delegation to bring the importance of the matter clearly before Con- ereas. and to secure the co-operation of the Western ritates in aiding us to carry out this grand projected undertaking. Mr. Hall deserves great credit for bis prompt ness in this matter. It evinces a public spirit worthy ot all praise, aad should be succeed, will deserve not only tbe thanks ot oar own State, but of every man who farms upon tbe Mississippi .>r i ; s <> ff,e iii>Wtiiuii «t Uima .tlauner*.” Under uos head the New Yoik Standard gets off a vigorous essay, which carries the following ating in its t-dl, evidently intended ior tbe editor oltbeewtt, cha:k= A, Dana.

Theeditior of the Bainbridge Sun, who uaa been on a visit to Albany, says of the crops on the route: Crops along the line ot railroad are, with a lew exceptions, miserable. We saw im mense cotton fields that will sorely not yield a bale of cotton to twenty acres, and in some of which tbe grass was higher than tbe coticn.— Fields and patches ot corn appear, that eertamly will not be worth gathering. Turn Rust in Cotton.—Farmers tell us that what is known among them as ‘ ihe lop crop” baa been entirely destroyed by the rust, which seams to have attacked the cotton generally but lew, it any, escaping. One-third of the cotton crop lias probably been cut off by tbh scourge, in this and adjoining countiei.—Bain- bridge Argue, August 20.

The Recent Duel—The Jubt of Inquest Recalled by the Cobonek.—At ten o’clock yesterday, by virtue ot summonses issue ! by the Coroner, tbe Jury of inquest on tbe late Mr. Lud. low Cohen met at the City Court room, the ob ject being, as stated by tbe Coroner, to review tbe inquisition upon tbe duel, which was held on Saturday last. One of the jurors being ab sent irom the city, no action was takeu in the matter. Hon. Thomas F. Loyd aud Major John O. Ferrill were beard in argument as to the legality of re-opening tbe inquest after the jury bad discharged their duties aud agreed upon their verdict. It was contended that tbe jury were functus officio, and bad no power to take any further action ia the matter, reading the law governing the case. Tbe Coronor, with out rendering a decision, stated that he would consult legal authority, and render his decision on the question this day at ten o'clock, until which time the jury were dismissed.—Savannah News, 23d inst. Nkgbo Riot in Jefferson County —Some excitement prevailed in Jefferson county a tew days since. A negro man was killed (aarne not given) in tbe vicinity of Bethany, by an un known party. Three white men were arrested onsosprcion; their names are Green, An drew Hall and James Weeks. They were taken before a magistrate at Bethany, hat no evidence being offered tending to implicate them, they were set at liberty. The negroes in tbe neigh- bood collected, in arms, and made many threats against the whites, remaining under arms two days. It was thought there would be trouble with them, bat it seems they dispersed after running over the entire neighborhood, no pro - vocation being given them by the whites to commence their bloody work. A gentleman who passed through this city yesterday, en route to Atlanta, to secure the in tervention ot civil or military aid iu behalf of the people of Jefferson, reported that the blood thirsty negroes bad inaugurated new outrages. His report was to the effect that the negroes ot the county to tbe number of about one thousand bad organized themselves into au armed band and proceeded to Louisville, where they released several negro prisoners from tbe jail, aud had feened threats to burn the town unless their cry for blood was appeased. In the meantime, the whites have carefully avoided any collision, and determined to invoke the aid ot the authorities at Atlanta to suppress the riot and relieve the citizens of exposure to the clamors of an igno rant end excited negro mob, threatening to ap ply tbe torch to tbe property of an entire town.— Augusta Constitutionalist.
