[yRoM DUB own CORRESPONDENT.
GaEEsvn1E, 8. c., Wednesday, August 49,
Before giving the proceedings OF the United
States Court, permit me to state that nothing
has occurred during the session up to this date
worthy OF any special mention. No important
cases have yet been reached, and Of course no
concomitant lengthy speeches. In yesterdays
proceedings the trial Of the case OF Colonel ".
q. Goodlett. on the charge Of obstructing the
revenue officers, elected the most attention
that has yet come up, although at the same
time it did not occur to your correspondent
that it's interest exceeded local concern sufi-
GENTLY to Justify even brief outline of it.
notwithstanding some OF our best lawyers we're
engaged ON it. The readers Of The News will
be kept informed.
The presence of the officers Of the court in
our midst, together with those in attend
anoe, gives life and activity to our little city.
Judge Bryan and Mr. Horlbeck and the other
officials are staying at the Mansion House.
Mr. Swandale has also other visitors, among
whom ia Governor a. Cumming, OF Georgia,
who is spending the summer here.
Our Peabody schools opened on Monday
last With two hundred and forty pupils-others
will enter. AS you have published the list OF
teachers, will not give them here. We think
great deal Of them, and last years operations
prove that they must be OF vast benefit to tho
children growing up. One of the teachers in
formed me that she had counted over forty
families sending in 1868, who, had not these
institutions baen in existence, would not have
been able to give their children any instruc.

The weather is hot and dry. In some por-
tions Of the county no rains have fallen OF any
consequence for eight or nine weeks. Corn
will be very scarce indeed. But the Lord will
provide
