CALHOUN ACADKMV.
Tile Annual Examination, &i\
The anniversary examination of this
Institute came off uu the 21st aud 22d.
the attendance of visitors and patrons
was not as large, by far, as it should have
been during the.exercise? in the day,
on account, we fear, of an unpardonable
indifference to the permanent establish
ment of .a first class seminary of learn
ing in our mtflst. Why it is llius, we
cannot conjecture. We know that the
success of such an institution depends,
in a great measure, if not entirely, up
on the fostering, care and active vigi
lance of the citizens of the community
in v. hose midst it is located. Let this
fact be considered.
The examination of classes in their
respective studies occupied all of Wed
nesday and a good part of Thursday.—
On account of official duties, we could
not attend on the first, day, but it was
our pleasure to be on hand during the
progress of the exercises on the second
day-
The scholars exhibited commendable
proficiency, which gave evidence of the
orderly system of discipline and instruc
tion practiced by the teachers.
About 12, ?.t. the Principal announced
the exercises, so far as the examination
of classes, in their studies was concerned,
closed.
It was already generally understood
that the evening would be devoted to
those exercises si? pleasing, (yet dread
ed) to the student—declamation and
composition reading. Accordingly by
2 o’clock p. M., a very considerable au
dience had congregated in the Court
Hall, which had been elegantly ar
ranged for the occasion, by the young
ladies, save the erection of the stage,
which was done by rougher hands ; in
deed, the people seemed to have held
themselves in reserve for this part of
the exercises. There was quite a differ
ence in the numbers assembled at the
Court House and Academy. At half
past 2 o’clock the curtains were drawn,
aud there stood before the audience an
array of youth, beauty and growing ge
nius, that elicited mute admiration and
silent gaze and attention. A large class
sung in concert the beautiful song : “Oh
come away to the Schoolroom,” which
was rendered the more entertning by
music on the Piano Forte, under the
skillful aud Elfin like touch of Mis Su
sie Iludgin- And here, wo would say
that the subsequent performances on
the Piano by the little girls, gave mark
ed evidence of a dogijpe of advancement
in the hjffl fftftrlffy wonderful, and
reflects great credit upon their pre-emi
nently competent and vigilant Instruc
tress, Miss Susie Hudgins.
While it would seem odious to partic
ularize where all did so well, we would
mention the fi.llowitvg pieces as adtnira
bly performed on the queen instrument
by little girls : “Orphan’s Prayer,” by
Miss Maggie Hudgins ; “ Beautiful
Spring”—polka, by the Misses Nannie
Young and Ed da. O’Callaghan - ; “Little
Household Angel,”; by Miss Joe.'Pul
liam.
Compositions and speeches by the
young ladies and gentlemen were upon
subjects well selected, and skillfully ex
ecuted. Not one, we believe, could be
considered poor. Mr. L. S. Kin unman
delivered a very elegant original oration
—subject, “Education.” The exercises
were hastily concluded.not quite through
with, on account of the arrival of the
train on which a vast number cf the
guests wished to leave, in order to be on
the Hail road aud steamboat excursion
to Chattanooga.

The Chalybeate Springs.
It was our pleasure to visit this now
popular resort a few evenings since, and
if our taste is not materially vitiated,
the water is strongly impregnated with
iron and sulphur, aud no doubt but that
when analyzed under favorable circum
stances, they will prove possessed of as
large per centum of mineral properties
as any which not? have a far-famed no
toriety. These springs, as we have said
before, belong to Col. Short Johnson;
are just two and a half miles from Cal
houn in a north-easterly direction, im
mediately on the public road leading
from Calhoun to Dalton, and are only
about two hundred yards from the W.
kA. llailroad. We know of no rea
son why this may not become one of the
most popular watering places in North
Georgia. Near to the spring flows a
bold branch of clear Water, whose vol
ume is increased by fresh flowings from
these mil wal springs, as also from a
large, bol t spring of pure freestone wa
ter, cool as from the Polar ices. The
location of tae springs, the beautiful
plat of ground surrounding them, Ac.,
render improvements eminently practica
ble. and every comfort and convenience
for guests. We consider them a mate
rial addition to the wealth of our coun
ty, and hope .Col. Johnson will, at an
early day have thiugs so arranged as to
induce an influx of people seeking pleas

Mu. Editor :
The appearance of a communication
from twelve citizens of this county in ;
your last on the subject of post- :
poning the letting of the bridge, re- !
quires that some facts not made public
before now be m de known to enlighten j
the public as to the course pursued by
the committee appointed for the pur
pose of the location of said bridge.—
The communication referred to does not
question the honor and integrity of the
gentlemen who composed the committee,
but they say, “Wo unqualifiedly say
that we do not think they exercised that
judicious Watchfulness for the financial
and commercial prosperity of the coun
ty that should characterize those en
trusted with the authority of determin
ing matters of public interest.” Believing
as I do, that the committee were gov
erned by a high sense of honor and
duty, I cannot but differ with the gen
tlemen, in believing that such men as
composed the committee would do all in
their power to advance the general in
terest of the county —laying aside any
personal interest that they might have
in the matter. I beg leave to show the
causes which led the committee to make
the location at the pre-ont site. The
distance from Fields’ mill to Calhoun,
direct, is a little over 9 miles, and from
Fields’ mill to Calhoun, byway of New
town only about one and a half miles
farther, and said, by a number of per
sons to be a better road. Now is it not
more reasonable to expect the people in
the neighborhood of Fields’ mill to go
by way of Newtown in case of high wa
| ter (or ary other time), than for the peo
ple living 2 to 4 miles above Newtown
to go to Fields’ mill and then to Cal
houn—about 7 to 9 miles farther than
their direct road ? Besides, the road
leading from Calhoun to Spring Place,
Carters, and the country around there,
leads directly over the river at New
town, and (he travelling public would
be more benefited with a bridge there,
than at Fields’. Influenced by the
above considerations, and knowing that
both the people from Fields’ mill dis
trict and those above Newtown, could
have the benefits of the bridge, the
committee felt no hesitation in making
i D
i their decision.
A year ago a well known citizen of
this county was heard to say. that a
bridge at Newtown would be worth sev
eral thousand dollars annual]} 7- ' to the
town of Calhoun. Since the subject
lias been agitated so much, the writer
lias taken it upon him ; If to ask the
mefchaiifsoFCalhoun about the matter,
and six of them gave it as their opinion
that the present location is equally as
good, if not better than Fields’ mill.
The committee are known to be good
financiers for themselves, and no charge
of dishonesty or want of integrity is
urged against them—“only a want of
judicial watchfulness.” Now is it pre
sumable that men who arc known to be
personally economical, would be extrava
gant with funds of which they'pay their
part in the way of taxes, and which
does not yield them any return ? My
opinion, and that of every reflecting
man is that the gentlemen upon whom
this duty was imposed, acted as if their
own funds had been .at stake, and no
doubt bad the public good at heart as
much as any set of men that our county
affords. Not a particle of selfishness
has ever dared to be charged, nor would
it be believed if it should. It is pre
sumable that they had the good of the
the town of Calhoun also in view;
for two or three of the number have
ail interest in the town, and they would
not wish to break up their interest in a
commercial point of view. The call
upon the Ordinary for postponing the
letting, comes with a bad grace; for un
less it is shown that there was fraud or
c reupticn in the location, it is the duty
of the Ordinary to carryout the request
of the Grand Jury at the last Court.
To prejudice the public, it has been said
by some that a rise of four feet in the
river at Fields’ mill will stop crossing at
Newtown. This is known by many to
be false. It is also reported by some
that the ferry at Newtown is not a pub
lic ferry, and sodittle travel as to need
no bridge. This is also known to be
false. Many such reports are no doubt
In circulation to thwart the building of
the bridge, unless it is put at Fields’.
It has also been said by some that
this act shall cost the Ordinary his offi
cial head. Let our citizens then be
ready to stand by one who has done his
duty, regardless of threats, but sternly
and in defiance of the clamor of his re
moval, acted in a conscientious discharge
of his duty. Instead of a delay in the
letting, rather let us all hurry up the
completion of the work. At Fields’
the river is said to be 163 feet wide,
7
while at Newtown, by measurement a
few days since, it L- only 138 feet—a
difference of 27 feet in favor oi* New
town. Let not selfishness or interest
cause any of us to throw any obstacle
in the way of this great work. We
Jiave no objection to having a bridge at
Fields’, and feel no doubt oue will be
built before long. But unless the Ordi
nary is shown that the location at New
town was the force of fraud and corrup
tion, we urge him to let the bridge at
once, and §ccure its early completion be
fore the winter rains sot in. The citi
zens around Fields’ mill will feel the
benefits after the bridge is complete*
and we hope they will not insist on the
Ordinary refusing to comply with n duty
so incumbent on Limas the present one,
and one which is so necessary for the
public good. Let imt our people be di
vided on things which are so much of
a public benefit to us ail ; but rather let
wisdom, justice and moderation mark
our action.
Hoping that all imy feel satisfied
with the action oi the Ordinary and
the committee, and to have a good
bridge at an early day which will be of
great benefit to both sections, I am
l ours &«., tl.

Mr. Editor :
Please permit me to say a few words
in reply to a ■communication in your is
i sue ot 22d inst., signed by George If >-
gari, It. Borders, John M. Keele and
others. As one of the committee, J
feel that it is right and proper that this
subject should be set in i- proper light
before the community. We 'are ac
cused of not exercising that judicious
watchfulness for the financial and com
mercial prosperity of the c unity that
should characterize those entrusted with
the authority of determining matters of
public interest They say they will not
assume to attack the integrity and puri
ty of motives, but unqualifiedly say we
did not exercise that judicious watch
fulness for the financial aud commercial
prosperity of the County, that should
characterize those entrusted with the
authority of determining matters of
public interest. So as the purity of
motives and our integrity are not at
tacked, the only question is that of abil
ity-
Our written instructions from the
Ordinary in making the location were,
to have an eye solely to the general in
terest of the county. Which thing I
believe the committee observed, and I
think were successful in satisfying the
majority of the good citizens of the
county. Not that I would be undcr
j stood to say that Hogan, Borders &c.,
i are not good citizens; but I mean to
say a majority of the good citizen softhe
county. For I, before and since the lo
cation for building a 'bridge across the
Oocsawattcec river near Newtown has
been made, have talked with, and to
as many of the citizens of the county
I as I have had opportunity, and with the
; exception of those in the immediate vi
j cimty of Fields’ nude. 1 have yet to
| find the individual with does not highly
1 approve of the 1 cation made by the
committee; and the most of them ex
! press themselves in very strong terms
' against the idea of bni 1 ling the bridge
!at Fields’ mill. For, by building the
bridge at Fields’ mill you dj not only
fail to facilitate and direct trade to our
county town, but you actually throw it
off in another direction that would
cause it to go somewhere else, when it
would otherwise find'its way to our
county town ; for by building the bridge
at Fields’ mill, ten miles north-east
I from our county site, trade from the
! north-cast portion of our county and the
! south-west portion of Murray county is
compelled to cross there or pay ferriage.
Once across the river, it is at the
party’s option to go to Cartersviile or
I Adairsville, leaving our county site some
six or eight miles to the west Not
that we would propose for our county
town to monopolize trade, or to compel
any person to trade there against their
interest. But then our commercial in
terest- is one of the main interests to
build up, and sustain our county site,
and every facility which leads to the
commercial interest of the county site
| adds to and builds up that much, and
; every citizen of the county being more
| or less interested in the growth and
I prosperity of his county town, is bene-
I fitted by everything tlmt tends to build
jup and sustain his county site. The
bridge at Fields’ would be to the conve
nience of but comparatively few of the
citizens of the north east portion of our
county, while at Newtown it would be
to the interest of ail.
Newtown is almost on a direct line
for all the citizens of the north-east por
tion of our county to our county site,
and also for all the south-west portion
of Murray comity that lias business at
our county site, and should^ hey pro
pose to trade at Home, the#bridge at
Newtown directs the trade • directly
through our county town which gives
our merchants a chance; lor once across
the river at Newtown, the only public
road from the bridge leads to
our county site. And besides, west of
the Ooosawattee river, and below Fields’
mill there is a large area of good farm
ing lands, the produce of which must
go to the railroad somewhere. The
bridge at Fields’ would force the farm
ers in this vicinity to make an elbow of
four or five miles, and on a much worse
road to market, while the bridge at
Newtown would be much to the conve
nience of the farmers and citizens be
low Fields’ mill and not to the incon
venience of those above in getting to
the county site, either with their pro
duce-mr to attend to the business of the
county ; and on a much better road for
all. The cunim.tiee was apprised that
a bridge at Fields’ mill would suit those
citizens above, but then, as remarked
before, it would be in a manner useless
to the majority of the citizens in that
portion of our county, and the commit
tee thought it was their dtjty to take
into consideration the good of the
largest number of citizens of our coun
ty to be benefit ted by said, Fridge. As
to the difference in the cost of a bridge
at Newtown aud fields’, I cant lee that
the hitter place lias the advantage
claimed for it If the reliable me'-hun
ie has made any ficures .for the bridge
nt the place selected, he did it from a
mewmlemcat mads tv another paVly,
and I know there is a mistake of twenty
feel in his measurement of the width of
the river, which we are entitled to place
hi? a set against their $1,500, sav
i'soo. And said mechanic expected to
haul the rock for piers some distance,
while a mason who wants the job of
building the piers visited the location a
few days since an 1 . ays he can get. on
the river bank at the water’s edge above
the building site., plenty of reck far the
piers, and can transport by water to the
place where he would need them with
out the aid of wagons—another credit
or set off ol $250,00. So you sec we
have a set off already of $750,00.—-
Then suppose the bridge to Stand seven
years, it is worth to the county at New
town $500.00 a year more than it is at
Fields’ mill—ss,soo balance in fctvor of
Newtown in the building and wear of
the bridge $2,750.00. lint then much
stress is put on Town Creek. We would
be glad it was not thore, but the men
who take the job of building the truss
bridge across it fit $500,00, will get a
fat job.
I am glad to see saute of our citizens
taking such an interest in the welfare
of our county village, if they are sin
cere, bat their sincerity I am made to
doubt; for some of them assert that if
the bridge is not built at Fields’ mill,
they will haul all their produce to Re
saca, which thing shows much of that
spirit, “ rule or ruin.” T would like to
say something about the banks of the
river at Fields’ mill and the banks at
the place where the committee located
the bridge, but* this comunication is
growing too long. I will say no more

School Circular.
Calhoun, Ga., June 22, 1871.
To th <f 7 'rustics of the several School
Districts of Gordon County .*
The County Board of Education di
rect you to have erected, at the several
localities mentioned in your reports,
suitable and comfortable School-houses,
where there are none, by the 23d of
July, 1871. We would suggest that you
build your School-houses by private sub
scription of labor and money. But if
you cannot do this report the fact to
this Board at its next meeting, to be
held at the Court House in Calhoun on
Friday, the 7th of July prox., when a
tax will be levied on the districts that
have failed to comply with the above,
sufficient to build said School-houses.
At the same meeting of the Board,
Teachers who expect to teach the Pub
lic schools wili be examined.
It is earnestly requested that the
Trustees of each Sub-District will use
every effort-to negotiate and make con
tracts with competent teachers, to teach
the Public Schools in their respective
districts, with the understanding that
they are to wait for their pay until the
money is received from the State, and if
the amount received is not sufficient to
pay the Teachers to teach the Public
Schools? three months, as required by
law, there should bo an arrangement
with the patrons to supply the deficiency.
The Board appeals to every»man in
the county to assist it, in order that the
work may be accomplished without tax
ation. By order of the Board.
