Awake, American n, to glory! %
Hark! hark!your country bids you rise;
Balt Freedom, with her bosom glory,
Beseeches you with tearful eyes
To save her from the thieves and spoilers,
Who trade within her temple doors,
Who drive the commerce from her shores,
And starve her host of honest toilers.
Advance the lines, advance!
The aveningbollot’s might
Shall slay the crew of cormorants
And vindicate the right.
Corruption, brazen, unmolested,
Stalks unmasked in the noonday 's glare,
Her wild and shameless face invested
With charms to those who seek and share
The plunder wrung in cruel taxes
From men who famine's pangs endure;
While on the grave stones of the poor
The rascal chieftains whet their axes.
Advance the line, advance!
The avenning ballot's might
Shall lay the crew of cormorants
And vindicate tne right.
The hundred years that lie behind you,
The hundred years that rise ahead,
The patriot memories that bind you,
The blood of all your maty red dead—
Be these the monitors of duty
Your arms to nerve,your hearts to w arm,
Until the white flower of Reform
Shall blossom in perennial beauty.
Advance the liues, advance!
The avenging ballot 'a might
Shall kill the crew of cormorants
And vindicate the right.

PRODUCTION OF THE SOIL.
Corn, wheat, rye, oats, millet, bar
ley, sugar cane, rice, cotton and the
grasses form the principal crops.
Track farming pays well. Peaches,
pears and apples excellent. Grapes
do well, properly cultivated.
NATURE OF THE SOIL.
The surface is undulating, the
most productive lies immediately on
the streams. The character of the
land is of a shady sand mould.
the climate
Is pleasant and healthy, free from
any local causes of disease.
THE TOWNS.
Oxford. Sand Town, Oak Hill and
Covington are the principal places of
trade. Covington is the county seat,
situated on the Georgia Railroad, 41
miles from Atlanta. It is well sup
plied with pure, delightful water,
both spring and well. It contains
some handsome dwellings, surround
ed by beautiful groves. The society
is equal to any In the State, hand
some places of worship.
THE SOUTHERN MASONIC FEMALE COLLEGE
is located here. The college is a
handsome edifice, well shaded by
majestic forest trees. The Trustees,
Executive Committee, Board of Vis
itors, are all Masons, members of the
Grand Lodge of Georgia. We notice
among them M. M. Moore and Dr.
E. J. Kirkseey, of Columbus. The
teachers are seven in number—Rev.
J. N. Bradshaw and three single
daughters, Mrs. Caldwell, Landsdale,
and Miss Askew. All advancement
made in the college by the pupils de
pends on their knowledge. There
are three departments—the Pestalo
zian, Preparatory and Collegiate.
The studies are grouped into four
classes, classed into four departments
—Mathematics, Mental and Moral
Science, Natural Science, and the
Latin Language. Young ladies can
graduate in either department on
standing its test of proficiency in the
studies pertaining thereto.
There is also an Elective Course in
which is taught Science and the An
cient and Modern Languages. A
special training is given to those who
expect to become teachers. Calis
thenics are practiced daily, giving to
the young ladies systematic motions
of a graceful nature and promoting
healthfulness in all. The tuition and
board is moderate. Daughters of
indigent Master Masons are taught
free. All girls are entitled to the
protection of Master Masons’ daught
ers, irrespective of the relation of the
parent. Here they are shielded from
all harm that might berall them else
where. The scholars wear a cheap
uniform, summer and winter, saving
much in dress. They are required
to attend some church on Sunday.
The religious instruction is gen
ral teachings of the Bible ac-
cording to Masonic Law, and no
more. Jew and Gentile can hero
study the Biblo together. The rules
of the College are plain, few and
easily obeyed. Whilst the discipline
is firm, It is only exercised for the
good of the pupil. The College Is
steadily increasing in numbers.
The present class consists of
a good number for these hard times.
Every Mason ali over the land, and
more especially Georgia Masons,
point with pride to this institution of
learning. All things being equal, the
Masonio Father should spud his
daughter here to completo her edu
cation. No where elso can she be
better trained for the duties of wo
manhood.
There is a movement on foot more
efficiently to endow the college. It
is thought by many of the friends
and patrons of the school that the
Masonic Grand body of Georgia will
at its coming session at Macon give
the College $20,000 worth of bonds.
It surely ought to do so. No charity
more richly deserves her support. In
after days it will come back like
“bread scattered upon the waters.”

OHIO.
prefaring for the fight in novem-
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Columbus, Ohio, October 13.—There
is a fixed determination on the part
of the Democratic leaders here to
never say die, but, on the contrary,
to make a fiercer and more deter
mined fight for Tilden in November,
if possible, than they did for the State
ticket in the contest just closed. A
meeting of the State Central Com
mittee has been called for Wednesday
next atColumbus, when the plans for
the rest of the camimign will be de
cided upon. There is, in fact, no fall
ing off in confidence among any of
our leaders, and the word comes up
from almost every county that they
will increase their vote of Tuesday
last when the November election
comes around.
The entire vote this year will not
fall short of 625,000, and Barnes’ ma
jority, when the official returns are
opened and compared, will undoubt
edly be something less than 5,000. A
change of one-half percent, from the
Republican ranks to the Democrats
will give us the State. One man in
every hundred who voted for Barnes,
coming over to Tilden, will make Til
den’s majority as large as Barnes’
now is. This is not a state of affairs
to discourage anybody in the Demo
cratic ranks.
Sir William Thomson on the Centre of
the Earth.
From the London Standard.
A remarkable address has been delivered
by Sir William Thomson in the Physical
Section of the British Association, on the
subject of the fluid or solid nature of the
earth’s kernel.
While not denying that certain portions of
the earths interior are in a molten or fluid
state, Sir William Thomson maintained,
on various more or less recondite grounds,
that no large portion of the earth’s interior
can by any possibility be in the condition
of molten fluid. “I may say, with almost
perfect certainty, that whatever may be the
relative densities ot rock solid and melted,
at or about the temperature of liquefaction,
it is, I think, quite certain that cold solid
rock is denser than hot melted rock; arid no
possible degree of rigidity in the crust could
prevent it from breaking in peices and sink
ing wholly below the liquid lava. Some
thing like this may have gone on and proba
bly did go on for thousands of years after
solidification commenced; surface portions
of the melted material losing heat, freezing
and sinking immediately, or growing to
thicknesses of a few meters where the sur
face would be cool, and the whole solid dense
enough to sink. This process must go on
until the sunk portions of crust build up from
the bottom a sufficiently close ribbed skele
ton or frame to allow fresh incrustations to
remain,bridging across the now small areas
of lava-pool or lakes.”
That is a striking picture of the growth
of the “round earth,” which was once sup
posed to have been made from the first “so
fast that it eau not be moved.” We are
rather *orry to be robbed of the belief of the
central lava ocean after all.
COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17, 1876.
THE TURKISH SITUATION.
■" ■" ■
The Times Appeals to 6ermany to Prevent
a Tremendous War.
HIMNIi AMD KERVIA AtiAINST THE
ARMISTICE.
PROSPECT OP PEACE NOT FLATTERING.
London, Oct. IC.— The Times, in a
grave article on the situation, con
cludes: “The Turkish rulers have,
we fear, determined not to yield
much more, and Russia may soon be
at the mercy of the storm she has
raised. It is not too late to keep
Russia back. If any country can
thus save the world from a tremen
dous war, it is Gortnany.”
The Standard's Vienna dispatch
says Turkish statesmen desire peace,
but not with dishonor. The major
ity agree that if foreigu pressure be
comes intolerable, they might pre
fer separate terms with Russia.
London, Oct 16.—The Times to-day
publishes the full text of the note in
which Turkey offered six months ar
mistice, all the details of which have
already been telegraphed to the
United States.
The Paris correspondent of that
paper, commenting thereon, says the
note is conciliating, submissive and
almost humble.
The Times, in a leading editorial
article, says : “Turkey could not pos
sibly have been more conciliatory.
The note judiciously abstains from
denouncing tho foreign volunteers as
Russians; there is nothing in it at
which Russia or any other power
could reasonably tako offence.”
The Times further says: “Tho fact
of Russia’s having reverted to de
mands originally made by England
would be encouraging if we could
regard with confidence tho animus
which prompted this course.”
Paris, Oct. 16.— Le Temps publishes
a summary, which it believes to be
accurate, of Prince Gortschakoff’s
circular to Russian representatives
abroad, in reply to T urkey’s offer of
six months armistice. Prince Gort
schakoff points out that no durable
peace could proceed from the Turk
ish proposal. Sorvia and Montene
gro could not be expected to remain
so long in a critical condition. He
concludes with the statement that
Russia is disposed to insist upon an
armistiee of a month or six weeks,
which might be extended if prog
ress of negotiotions rendered it neces
sary.
London, Oct. 16.— The Times Paris
correspondent points to the fact that
this is the first time!Russia has clear
ly accepted solidarity with Servia and
MontenegJo. In advising them to
reject the Turkish proposition, she
has accepted the responsibility of
such refusal.
The Times’ dispatch from Berlin,
Sunday morning, announces that the
Russian objections to Turkey’s propo
sition are stated in a calm argumen
tative tone, indicating a desire for
negotiation. There seems to be no
danger of an immediate collision.
Pesther Lloyd, newspaper, reports
that Mr. Ristios, the Servian Prime
Minister, has informed the English
Consul at Belgrade that Servia would
consent to an armistice till Decem
ber 31st.
The Daily News has a special from
Belgrade, which says; “Servia is
willing to accept the status quo, pro
vided the Turks guarantees for the
proper government of Bosnia. But
Servia will not consent to any armis
tice longer than December 31st. If
that is rejected now, she does not
bind herself to accept it at any future
time.”
The prospect of an armistice or
peace is not flattering.
London, Oct. 16.— Reuter’s dispatch
from Belgrade says; is generally
believed hero and at Deligrade that
the Turks will break through the
line of the Duia, upon which they
have been continually making at
tacks during the last few days. Yes
terday the Turks attacked tho Ser
vian position at Ljubonja for six
hours. The attack was repulsed.
The Servian General Novassezoff has
telegraphed to headquarters an
nouncing that a battle is impending
at Javor.
An armistice is considered impos
sible.
Ragusa, Oct. 16.— Dervish Pasha
having received reinforcements, suc
ceeded in repelling an attack on Pad
goritza which was commenced by
five battalions of Montenegrins.
Vienna, Oct. 16—The semi-official
Montags Viennie commenting on the
Porte’s proposal of the six months
armistice, says; The armistice is
evidently too extended, but the
greater period implies the loss, and
the Porte’s has incontestibly fulfilled
the requirements of the powers. Any
how, the Turkish proposal does away
with all question of occupation, in
tervention, naval demonstration or
rupture of diplomatic relations.

DEATH OP A JOURNALIST DARING
THIEVES ARRESTED—HOW TWEED AND

New York, Oct. 16.—Charles Sedg
wick Hunt, a well known journalist,
died here yesterday of inflammation
of the brain. He was 34 years old.
Two thieves were caught by the
police, last night in H. B. Ciaffiin &
Co.’s work rooms, in the act of pack
ing up five thusand dollars worth of
silks and velvets.
It is stated that Hunt, Tweed’s
companion, started with the latter in
the Franklin. Both will be surren

The Chronicle (Rep.) says editori
ally: “When Southern people cry
out about tho oppression of the Fed
eral troops, they prove themselves
hypocrits. Every posted man knows
that the ranks and file of tho army is
recruited from the riff-raff of the
Democracy, and their sympathies
would not permit them to abuse tho
poor Southerners. Sergeant Patrick
O’Donhue and Corporal Michael

would much sooner assist the Ku-

protecting them from the outrageous

ANOTHER COTTON CROP REPORT.
THE AGRICULTURAL BUREAU AT WASH
INGTON TRIES ITS HAND. ,
Washington, Oct. 16.— (Official,).—
The reports to the Department of
Agriculture indicate a reduction of
the condition of cotton during the
past month in the ten principal cot
ton States from an average of 923 to
821-7. The October average for these
States was 88 in 1875, and 71J in 1874.
The decline from September is
slight in Georgia, Florida and Mis
sissippi, greater in Louisiana and
Arkansas, and greatest in Alabama
and Tonnesse. There is a small ad
vance in Texas.
The figures for the condition of the
States are as follows: North Caro
lina 84; South Carolina 80; Georgia
85; Florida 80; Alabama 70; Missis
sippi 83 ; Louisiana 82 ; Texas 91;
Arkansas 86 ; Tennessee 91.
The diminution of crop prospects
hus been caused by the equinoctial
storm in North Carolina, drought and
rust in Georgia,the caterpillar in Flor
ida and Alabama, the boll worm in
Arkansas, and frost in Tennesse.
Tho caterpiller is confined to the
southern portion of tho gulf States.
Its depredations aro most severe in
Alabama and in most of the infected
districts its reproduction was too late
to destroy more than the top crop.

The world keeps on moving. The
Vatican has really gone into the bu
siness of railway building, and in the
course of a few months it is not im
probable people who desire to pay a
visit to Palestine will bo able to visit
tho various points of religious and
historical interest there with ‘'bag
gage checked through,” and without
the tedions intervention of pack
horses and mules. At all events, one
Signor I’ierotti has just been to
Rome and obtained from tho Pope
his official sanction for carrying out
the enterprise (already sanctioned
by tho Sultan) of making a port of
Jaffa and constructing a railway from
there to Jerusalem, a distance of
some miles. Encouraged thus, Signor
Plerotti has addressed a circular to
the wealthier and more distinguish
ed Catholics throughout the world
soliciting subscriptions in aid of the
enterprise. The prospectus is a
novel one in some respects. It is
proposed to obtain 100 foundation
members, whoso names, with the
amount of their respective offerings,
are to be published at the head of a
prospectus inviting Catholics of all
uations to cqnstituto themselves
shareholders, and draw their divi
dends in tho form of feelings of sat
isfaction at having assisted by their
subscriptions, however small these
may be, in the formation of a port
and railway intended to facilitate
pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem,
and pilgrimages to the sanctua
ries and holy places, and in
planting Catholic colonies and
agricultural and industrial establish
ments in Palestine, to which latter
aims the profits of the railway and
port are to be devoted. Thero is no
reason to suppose tho project will
fall through for want of capital.
When the religious feeling is enlisted
in a material enterprise of any kind,
the scheme is tolerably certain of
success. We have no doubt a rail
way lik this, under proper manage
ment, could be made to pay hand
some dividents, even of a more tan
gible character than those to which
Signor Pierettl alludes. As it is Dot
to be supposed that the Sultan
would have given his author
ization were it to be run
in the interests of one sect to the ox
elusion of others, or to tho exclusion
of travelers who are not pilgrims, it
must receive a liberal patronage
from the vast number of tourists and
exoursionistt who annually make
Palestine their objective point. The
railroad would unquestionably stim
ulate this kind of travel, and by that
means a trade would be developed
along the line which would in
various ways wonderfully hasten
the establishment of those agri
cultural and industrial estab
lishments to which it is to be
subsidiary. Wo shall study the pro
gress of tho enterprise with the same
curious interest which attaches to
tho railroad experiment British Capi
talists are making in tho vicinity of
Canton, China. There is nothing
like the iron horse for stirring up
these old civilizations and reopening
to modern enterprise channels of
traffic and travel which have been
closed, it may be said, almost from
time immemorial.— N. Y. Bulletin.
