On motion ot Mr. Hookey, the meeting adjourned. The Fx press Robbery. Since our issue of Thursday nothing further of inter est has como to light with regard to the recent live thousand-dollar Fxpress rob bery. ‘ The two reuiaiuiug prisoners, Francis 11. Bland and William Hargrove, are still in confinement in the jail of this city in accordance with the agreement of counsel for the prosecution and defence, mentioned in our report of yesterday. Nothing yet, we understand, has been beard from Judge Schley, who has been requested to come to this city and preside at the preliminary examination of the ac cused; indeed, one report has it that Judge Schley is not in Savannah at present, but liasjcfi that city fur New York, and, con sequently, will not be able to como to Au gusta in some time. The money stolen, wo learn, still remains undiscovered and, ap parently, undisooverablo. The affair seems to be at a dead lock and tho Express (tompany’s officers, dissatisfied with ihe present unpromising aspect of the case, seem determined to pursue a different line of policy. An impression scorns to be gaining ground, in circles best informed upon this subject, that the pretended con fession of Bland is all a sham and that he has attempted to hoax tho Express Com pany, but whether ho lias succeeded or not is a different thing. Many think that Bland was the principal and only opera tor in the affair, and that Hargrove had nothing whatever to do with the robbery ; and this view of the ease seems to bo sup ported by the previous bad character of the former and good character of tho latter. Sinoo writing the aliove wo have obtain ed I'urtln'r information with regard to the ca*,' by which it seems that its complica tions arc rapidly increasing. It is, no doubt, well remembered by the citizens of Augusta that during the war—in the latter part of 1863—Frank Bland was arrested on a charge of being connected with a robbery in this city, and that he was re leased on bail, Foster Blodgett being Iris bondsman. In that robbery the victim was!a stranger in the city, and, it is alleged when about to leave the city one night on the train, missed the cats and was decoyed off by two or three men, who drauk with him until they supposed him intoxicated, when they tell upon him, and r, bbed him of nearly six thousand dollars alter heating him iu a horrible manner. The victim de clared that Bland was one of the party, but be was released on bail as above stated and tho ease has never come to trial. On yesterday afternoon George Hood, by vir tue of a power of attorney, signed by Foster Biodgett, caused the latter’s name to be taken from tho bond and turned Bland over to the eare of the jailor on that warrant. This, we suppose, will pre vent Bland s being taken to Fitbugham county, at least, for tho present. On Thursday morning a deputation from Milller Lodge l. 0. O. F„ of which lodge Hargrove is a member, visited the latter in his cell for the purpose of render ing him somo assistance. On yesterday evening Judge Jas. S. Hook was retained to defend him. It is now stated positively that Judge Schley cannotoome to this city aud the preliminary examination of the accused will have to take place in Effingham county. His Bovinity Again Presented.— j Several counties of the State have followed : the example of lvichmoud county and, I through their Grand Juries, presented i Governor Bullock for his criminal and eon- j fmucl abuse of the pardoning power. The , Giand Jury of Spalding county is tho last i oue we have heard from on this subject, j Here is the language used in the present- ; went: “Violations of the law, it is true, have oceurr and in our county, but we are pleased j to notice that they have not hoeo numer- j ous nor with a f w except!.-.* Migrant in their cha: or. In rder to ensure a con tinuance ot this fav,.rable state of affairs it is necessary that the puuishiucnt ol offend ers slould be prompt, speedy and certain. Aud in this connection we feoi it to be our duty, as Grand Jurors and good citixerg, having the welfare and prosperity of all \ classes of the citizens, of our whale State at heart, and disclaiming auy intention to give our general presentments a political ] complexion, to protest against the exten sive, indiscriminate uud, we will add, wan ton and reckless exercise of the constitu tional pardoning prerogative by the chief magistrate of the Slate. The quantity of ‘mercy,’ we admit, ‘is not straiued’ lut where the practical effect of its use is to en courage crime and to turn lose upon peace ful communities, men convicted by the legal tribunals of the laud of the most out rageous offences known to the law, to re" new their depredations against life and property, we think it should be exercised with more caution and consideration for tin; peace and good order of society tbau has been exhibited by Governor Bullock. I | The Edgefield Tragedy.—From the ! Edgefield Advertiser of Wednesday we get further and full particulars of the late tragical occurrence in that county. It ap pears that ou Thursday morning a week ago after usual breakfast time, two brothers, Charles and J. D. Cresswell,weil known citizens of the Ninety-six section, left the village, journeying homeward. They had spent the night at the Glover Hotel, on their way from Augusta. ’lbey travelled in a buggy drawn by two horses. On the morning in question, J. D. Cress well, the younger of the brothers, was driving. As they neared the foot of the bill upon which stand the residences of Mr. A. Ramsay and Dr. H. Darker, they wece fired upon from the corn field on their i right, a veiy short distance below Mr. ; Ram-ey’s house. At this point, very near the corner of the field, there stands a small plum thicket. Out of this thicket came the shots. Charles Cresswell received some : I'iur shots in his right breast, and lived not ! more than an hour. J. D. Cresswell was wounded in five places, fight hand, left arm, chin, breast- and stomach. The hors-,*; continued to go forward, but at Dr. Parker’s gate, about two hundred yards from the scene of the shooting, the latter, though so severely wounded, succeeded in stopping them. Here Charles Cresswell fell from the buggy, the wheels of which ran over him, and J. D., calli .g lor assist ance, had him removed into the Louse, where be lived for upward of an hour. In connection with the circumstances which led to this terrible tragedy, the pub , lie mind of the community had been previ ously sadly and painfully moved, and when the late occurrence was made known, it led to such a day of horrified yet undemon strative excitement as was never known in Edgefield. 1 1 the afternoon a Coroner’s inquest was held upon the body of Charles Cresswell, the jury returning a verdict that lie came to his death from gunshot wounds at the hands of some person or persons un known. On the following day, theremains, attended by friends who had been speedily summoned, were oonveyed to the home of the departed man’s parents. J. J). Cresswell, whose wounds were at first thought to he mortal, after remaining two night* -at Dr, Barker's, was removed to the Glover Hold in this place, where he now lies, a*tended by father, mother and two sisters. His wounds, though very serious and painful are not considered mor tal, and well grounded hope is entertained of his recovery. Tiie parties who fired these fatal shots are George B. and James Addison, sons of an old and honored citizen, Major George A. Addison. A lew hours after the shoot ing, they rode quietly into towo, and after j the result of (lie Coroner’s inquest had been made known, surrendered themselves to Sheriff McDevitt. On the following morning, attended by a legal adviser, they left for Lexington, to obtain bail from J udge Boozer of that place. On Saturday afternoon they returned, having, without the slightest difficulty, accomplished their object. Since then they have gone to their homos. George B. Addison is a young man of some twenty-three or four years, James Addison is a youth not yet eight een. . Widows in india. —The Hindoos have an awful ugly way of disposing of pretty, charming, engaging, blooming widows by ruthlessly burning them up upon a funeral pyre along with their deoe-s and liege lords, however old and crabbed their spouses might have been, as so much old and useless rubbish. But old England for about half a century lias been trying to teach her Hindoo subjects and cotton growers that widows are good for something else than to be burned, and at last has succeeded iu getting one Hindoo widow to marry again as sensible English widows do instead of terminating her life by the faggot and the torch. The Bombay Gazette of June 22, says: “A marriage ol peculiar interest to some sections of tho Hindoo community was celebrated at the Gowalia house of the Rao Bahadoor Moroba Canoba last Tues day evening. The bridegroom was Mr. Pandurang Venayek Karmarkar, a teach er; the bride wa3 Venu Bai, widowed sister of Mr. Waman Prabbaket, both of the Chitpawun section of tho Brahmin Paranjpey caste, and we are told ‘respect ably born and situa'ed’—and tho ceremony derived its interest from the circumstance that it was the first public marriage of a Hindoo widow, and that it took place un der tbe auspices of the Hindoo widow Marriage Association and in the presence of numerous spectators, including several Europeans.” Murder in Jackson County.—The Athens Manner learns that a lad named Coleman was shot in Jackson county a day or two ago, under rather mysterious cir cumstances. He was in a corn field watch ing to shoot squirrels, while the family were at church, and was lound shot through the back of the head, from which he evidently died without a struggle. Suspicion rests upon a negro, whose con science would not let him help to dig his grave. Eufaula, Albany and Brunswick Railroad Enjoined.—Judge Schley, of tho Eastern Cireuil, granted an injunction against this road on Saturday last, at suit of a combination of railroads said to em brace the Southwestern, Central, Georgia, Macon and Brunswick and Albany and Gulf Roads. The points upon which the application was made were, among others, that the road was without a charter —had obtained State aid by fraudulent represent ation—that its proposed route interfered with the chartered privileges of the South western Railroad. Accident in Athens.—The Athens Watchman reports that a little boy, tho son of Mr. Parker, got drowned in the mill-race at the Athens factory, on Sunday afternoon. He was on his way to Sunday School and stopped at the race, with other boys, to look lor a drowned hog, and seeing a switch growing on the othersidc which he wished to procure, stepped on a plank to j enable him to reach it; the plank tilted | and precipitated him into the water, where j ho drowned, there being nobody present j but very small boys. His body was Te j covered in a short time but life was extinct. The Cincinnati Exposition.— We see j the Committee on Premiums of the Cin cinnati Textile Fabric Exposition awarded a prize of fifty dollars to the Macon Manu facturing Company for the best bale of thirty-six inch mediutubrown cottons. They also awarded a prize of twenty-five dollars to the Eagle and Phoenix Manufacturing Company tor the best cotton blankets, and to the Flagle Mills Company, of Columbus, for the best cotton warp tweeds. These were the only premiums awarded to Georgia manufacturers, but special men tion was made of Macon Mills 4 4 sheetings, Jewell Mills, Warren county, plain osna burgs, and F'ountenoy Mill, Ogelthorpe county, cotton yar Episcopal School in Auousta. —We are glad to be able to announce <gbat the Flpiseopalians of this city have succeeded in building anew school, which wi’l soon lie opened with a competent corps of in structors in charge. The building is sit uated on Kollock street, near the eorner .f Telfair, aud ju.-t one door below the Church of the Atonement. It is i neat wooden structure, of the Gothic style of architecture, and iu dimension is sixty feet long by thirty feet wide. The building is divided into two tine rooms, each of which is fourteen and a half feet long by eleven ! feet in width. Commodious grounds for I the benefit of its pupils surround the in j stitution. The school, it is thought, will j b* opened on the first of next October. We are informed that the success of this enterprise is due to the great zeal and un j tiring energy displayed by the Rev. Wm. , C. Hunter, Rector of the Church of the ; Atonement. Tnt Caterpillar in Blrke Cocntt. —We learn from a correspondent, writing under date of August 14, that this de structive enemy ot cotton Las made its ap pearance in the iowgr part of Burke j county. Liverpool Salt.— Messra. Purse A Thomas, Savannah, Georgia, have Liver- I pool salt (in full sacks) for sale in quami i ties to suit purchasers. Teachers Convention. In the last issue of the Chronicle k Sentine appeared a letter from our special correspondent at Atlanta, giving a report of the first day's proceedings—morning session. the afternoon session was consumed in a rather miscellaneous i way. An able report on “Natural Sciences” ! was read by Prof. Willett, of Mercer Uni versity. There being no regular business before the meeting, teachers cheered and sought to edify each other by relating their ex perience in school management. It was a • very pleasant .-eason. All that was said ! will be cheerfully remembered. ! Dr. SII Stout was particularly felicitous 1 in his remarks. He took occasion, while on 1 the floor, to urge, with excellent taste and ■ earnestness, tho importance of inaugurat ing a system ol graded common Schools in ) Georgia. Very deep interest was manifested in | I his subject by the leading men of the j Association, nearly all of whom expressed ; their approval of the ideas contained in the ! report of Mr. Calvin, of this city; Ad journed. SCCOND DAY. \V c publish below the Constitution's re port of the second day’s proceedings : Georgia Educational Convention. —The Convention was promptly called to order at 9 o’clock A. M., by the President. Alter reading the minutes, Rev. D Burkhardt, Gen. John B Gordon and W G Wbidby, were elected members by ac clamation. '1 he special order of the morning being the consideration of the report, of Profes sor Martin V Calvin, of Augusta, on a common school system, and Prof. G. J. Orr’s resolution to appoint a committee of three to report on the best plan to educate the masses in the State, white and colored, was taken up. On motion the resolution was amended by making the committee consist of five instead of three. Professor Orr stited that a Common School System was the great wau; of the people. Iu his opinion the system should be under the control of Southern men, who are thoroughly acquainted with the wants and feelings of the people. He did Dot think that the boasted Common School System of the North was the best. It gave to pupils only a smattering knowl edge, which does not qualify its possessor for citizenship. During the late wai, let ters picked up on the field of battle, de monstrated the ignorance of those men who “can read unit write” as well as their immorality. Moral and religious teaching at the South had been productive of bet- • ter results than at the North. In the Northern clime all theisms germinate and fructify. [The Chinese are only ahead of Massachusetts because they are only 2,000 years oidcr —in Tartary, they steal the light out of a mail’s eyes or the brass from his cheeks ] He reviewed the objections urged against the Common School System, because the taxation would be unequal in its operations upon men who have no children, and men of moderate circumstances. He consider ed it as the cheapest means of governing the country. Education is a preventive of crime. A system adapted to Illinois, or Michigan, or Massachusetts, if adopted here will fail. We should make a system for ourselves, suited to our wants and senti ments and under our own control. He was in favor of educating the colored race when the whole thing was left to the con trol and direction of Southern men. Prof. B. Mallon, of Savannah, said all agreed as to the necessity of a Common School System, but the great question was how shall we do it ? He did not think that the fanaticism and vagaries of the North was justly attribu table to the Common School System— that was formed a- home, by political meet ings andnewspapeis. The fear ui expense was one of tho lead ing objections to the system. He considered it as less expen.-ive than schools supported by voluntary subscriptions- Poor Schools had been tried and had proved a failure. The whole people should be educated to gether. Ten years ago, in Savannah, it was not deemed probable that- a system could be devised to moot the wants of all. Now, the system educates all at a cost of $25,- 000 per annum. The old objection that it is no more the duty of the State to educate the children tliau to clothe them, was seldom heard. All parents elolhe their children, but all do not give their children au education. A Common School System would boos immense benefit to colleges. Tbe bills before the la.-t Legislature were deficient, because it made the local ele ment subordinate to the contralized ele ment. Every country and town should manage its oWn schools. He did not favor the adoption ofa Common School System at present. If we could get a Superintendent from our midst, acquainted witli our wants, and au active, energetic, live man, he ■favored the election of a Superintendent first. He would recommend the following as the best course to be pursued. Take Madison for instance. Let the people of Madison build a comfortable school house, able to accommodate three hundred chil dren, where the children can be graded and taught together. The cost wifi be fully twenty per cent, less than by any other. Under this system the people have the cont rol. Under the voluntary system, the people are at the mercy of teachers. The order of business was suspended, and the following resolution offered by Prof. Bonncll adopted, alter discussion : liesolvtd, That when this Convention adjourns, it adjourn to meet at Macon on the 17th of November, at night. The resolution of Prof. Orr, was amend ed so as to read, Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed to report on the best plan to educate the masses in this State, both white and colored, and submitted by them to the Executive Committee, and by them reported to the Convention in Macon on the 17th of November next. Adopted. Prof Orr read a report on Prof Wil lett’s report on “the Natural Sciences.” Adopted. Col Lewis movod' to refer the report of Prof Calvin, ou “Popular Education,” to the committee raised under Prof Orr's reso lution. Carried. Prof L M Smith, of Oxford, Prof I F Cox, of LaGrange, and ProfS P Sanford, of Penfield, were elected members by ac clamation. Prof Orr, from the committee to suggest a list of subjects for discussion at the next meeting, submitted the iollowing list: The comparative merits of the two systems of teaching orthography, oral and by written recitation. Is uniformity in text books throughout the State desirable and practi cable? The best s stem of school discip line. The best system of college discipline. Success in teaching the mathematics. The modern method ot teaching the ancient languages, by applying the principles of grammar as soon as learned, in progressive lessons. How many hours per diem Should children be qonfine'd to study in school ? aud how should these hours be distributed? Should the sexes be separated, or taught together, during the course of their educa tion? School architecture and school furniture. The system of graded schools. Should the pupils of common schools be required to prepare their lessons at home, or in school? Should the infliction of cor poral punishmeot in the school bein public or in private ? The best mGthod of enforc ing neatness. Report adopted. The President an nounced that he would appoint the com mittees at his leisure. Dr- A Means offered the following reso- j lution which was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we cordially and respect- 1 tally invite all lady teachers, throughout j the State, whether connected with colleges, | high schools, academies and elementary institutions, to become members ol this i Convention, and to lend their co-operation j and counsels, in aid of the great and be- ! nevolent work in which they profess to be engaged. Resolved, That their personal presence at the meetings of this body will be al ways greeted with sincere pleasure, and will serve in no small degree to encourage this body in its laborers oflove. Resolutions of thanks to Messrs. Phillips ife Chew for generous donation ot station- j ; ery ; to the City Council for the use of the 1 Hall; to Mr. Patrick Fitzgibbou for h.s kindness and courtesy ; to the railroad ! companies f6r allowing delegates to return 1 home free, were adopted. ! Prof. Willett offered the following reso i lution. which was adopted ; Resolved, That the reports and papers which may be' submitted to the Publication ; Committee be published by that Comrnit ! tee iu such a way as will give such matter , the widest diffusion without expense to : the Convention. The proprietors of the Atlanta Daily ' Constitution, and Madison Daily School ] Visitor, offered to publish all matter fur nished by the Convention, free of charge. Colone’ D. W. Lewis moved that a general nlcoting be had to-night, for the hearing of views on common school educa tion, and that the City Council be invited i to be present. Prof. M. V. Calvin supported the mo tion in a few pertinent remarks. Rev. H. 11. Tucker left the Chair, call ing Professor J. M. Bonuell to occupy his j seat. President Tucker, Profiler Orr, and Dr. Means, opposed the motion in pointed efforts. The motion was lost. On motion of B. Mallon: | Resolved. That the next annual meeting be held in Savannah, on the first Tuesday ! (3d) of May, 1870. i On motion of D. W. Lewis: Resolved, "Thu a committee be appoint id to memorialize the Legislature lor an I appropriation fyr the purposes of the Con - vention. General J. B. Gordon addressed the Convention in support of the series of Southern school books, published by Rich ardsoD & Cos., of New York. Col. Lewis paid a high compliment to MauTy’s Geography, one of tbe series.

School books, published by Kelly & Piet, of Baltimore; Charles Scribner & Cos., and Richardson & Cos., of New York, were submitted for examination. After words of cheer,. by Col.
