RAILROAD MEETING m CHEROKEE
Large Observation-Disclosures fnterest
Manifested.

The good, honest, intelligent people
of the county Of Cherokee, are thorough
ly alive and in earnest to the great in
tercst of the Railroad that is proposed to
penetrate their section of country, that
will do so much to the development of
the vast wealth of that section, hereto
fore neglected. The State Aid policy,
inaugurated by Governor Bullock, meets
the hearty approval of all right thinking
men. Canton was thronged by the
citizens Of this wealthy section of coun-
try on last Wednesday, for the purpose
of participating in the Railroad meeting
e &c held on that day, in the interest of
the Marietta & North Georgia Railroad
The people extended cordial well
come to ALL Their hospitality is uncx-
celled. The meeting was organized by
calling Dr. w. II. Dean to act as Presi-
dent, with DIR. Underwood, j. II. Spear,
Edward Denmead, j. j. Northcutt,
Samuel T. Hurston, j. L. ID. Hardin, j.
NJ. Stephens and N. J. Perkens, as Vice
Presidents. G. D. Phillips, of Cobb,
and Mr.. Tcasely, of Cherokee, were APP
pointed Secretaries.
DIR. Dean made an explanatory address
and then introduced Governor Bullock.
/ His Excclency made brief but point
ed speech, abiding to the importance of
railroad communication with tina. section
of Georgia, in developing its incxausti-
BILE resources. He assured them that
the enterprise should have his personal
and official influence. Speeches after
wards were madO by Judges PARROT,
Mccoy, Brown, Gibson, Mr.. Cook, and
Gen. Vim. Phillips.
Harmony and good feeling existed.
and The people are determined to do all
in their power, even to subscribing to
half they are worth, to build this impor-
tant and much desired Railroad. The
Marietta Silver Cornct Band diScoursed
most enIivening music throughout the
meeting.
We regret that VIC were unable to pro-
cure the resolutions adopted. Another
similar meeting was held at Jasper on
yesterday, and, we hope, with equally
as gratifying results.

We go into q village; we find a
number of enterprising men anxious
about the education of their children.
They fix up room; hire teacher,
and send their children to the "Select
Schoop at cost of $50 per annum,
for two or three pupils to each family.
Their interest in the common school
is at an end no matter to them how
it is conducted; and thus, it frequent
Iy happens, that two little, sickly,
half-taught schools are conducted by
instructors whose interests are directly
antagonistic; where one well-organ-
lied and properly graded school might
have fiourished finely.
Suppose the families who supported
the select school had thrown their in
fiuence in favor of raising the COM
mon school to a higher grade. Ten
families at $50 each per annum would
soon put the school house in a good
condition; purchase apparatus fence
and ornament the grounds, and, in
connection with the public funds, hire
two thoroughly qualified teachers.
Am 1 stating a fact when l say this?
Will not this argument bear the test ?
am confident when say that Sc
lect schools are a positive injury to
our common schools, as the history of
nearly all such schools will go to sub
stantiate my position.
Go into our villages where the peO-
pie have worked for our common
school interests, and every graded
school will be an argument against
select schools.
Again, the tendency Of such schools
is to foster a spirit of aristOcracy or
excIusiveness; and the young people
soon catch the spirit, and "cliques'
spring up to disturb the harmony of
the community. They also degrade
the true standard Of scholarship. -
Every school of this kind must
adopt some course of study; and then,
as pupils of all grades are admitted,
the teacher must of necessity hear a
great number of recitatlons, and can
not give that attention to any branch
of study necessary to aid the pupil to
a properUnderstandingo Of the subject
hence, students become superficial,
and young men and women think
themselves scholars, when they really
have not a correct idea of the alpha
bet.
Such schools are directly Nntagenis-
tic to the interests of institutions of
high grade already in successful Ope-
ration.
Our common schools can be so inn
proved that pupils may receives thor
ough knowledge of all the common
branches and where three or four
departments are conducted may even
fit young men to enter college; but
when that is done, let our higher in
stitutions receive their patronage.
But at all hazards, let us support our
common schools and make them first.

Witand HumOr.

A New York Bohemian, speaking
of the high price Of meat, says that
"beef was never so high since the COW
jumped over the mOOn." Now this is
Dure humor, and the author of it
laughs with everybody and he laughs
at nobody. 1 shall not attempt the
difficult task of defining wit and hu-
NOR. Hazlett says: DIR. Fuller's re-
mark, that the negro is the image of
God cut in ebony, is humOr and
that Horace Smiths inversion Of it,
that the task master is the image Of
the devil cut in ivory, is wit" Wit
and humOr are as closely related as
the Siamese twins, and like that
couple they go together, and 1t re-
quires a sharp blade to separate them.
Fun is fine, and he who Is master Of
it will know how to stop short of that
line which separates it from the alb
surd and ridiculous. Wit is crank,
scOrnful, analytical. It makes invid-
iOus contrasts, tOsses analogles in
your teeth, spOils no good stories for
relations sake. 1t shoots a feathered
shaft before you can lift a shield, and
is sure to hit a tender spot. 1t was as
invulnerable as Achilles, whose soft
spot was i'm his heel it would be sure
to wound him unless he wore thick
boots, which, unlike his lips, should
be waterproof. Americans do not
laugh enough. We scarcely recognize
the comic side of life. Artemus 1.-The
delicious" as the author of Griffith
Gaunt" calls him, shook our sides
with laughter, and few others did
sO-all Of them, however, can be
counted on the fingers of two hands.
These Jokes have made US laugh a
little when out of the range of bulls
and bears in Wall street, but we, as a
people, have failed to sustain first class
comic journals. The humor Of Low
ell and Holmes and the wit of SAKE
are appreciated by a few-the choice
Ffew-because the aroma Of their poet
ry gives a ple8sent OdOr 10 their mer-
riment. MiFth follows us in the
street, and Overtakes us at our oecu-
patton; it tiekles the ribs of sleep,
even. Why, then, do we not respond

CHARACTER.
An Essay Read Before the OsgOOd Lit@
erary Society In London, Feb. 9Th.
BY JANNETTE HARDING.

AS we look upon the great mass of
humanity as it has moved down the
ages, we see that each one of these in
telligences which make up the whole
family of mant takes on an indentity; {;
has an individuality of is own. An
intellectual creation, moving in its
own orbit; kept there by fixed laws,
and bearing a relation to every other
intelligence; a communication be-
tween them through the medium of
thought-God, the eternal spirit; the
centre of thought and system, as the
sun is the centre of solar system.
Then comes the questiOn-"can the
intelligent man do anything toward
forming his own destiny ?" Most as
suredly he can, comes the response
down the experiences of the passing
years.
Very many of the pursuits of men
are meIe vanities in which the soul
cannot find sustenance, and the dark
ened spirit in its earthly tabernacle
remains a few heetiDg years, then un-
developed and all unprepared, passes
into the place of spirits.
Change is written on all earthly
things. What is certain in this ever
changing world of ours? Man may
be sporting amid scenes where not u
ripple of sorrow interrupts the tran
guilty of his happy life. Soon, alas /!
he may be surrounded by storm and
tempest. Who are they who have
not had their hearts lacerated by dis
appointments and bereavement?
Many a tempest-beaten spirit has
to brave the stormy sea of life and
smile while the pillows dash and
break at his feet.
Then, considering the uncertainty
of all ears hly things, were it not wise
to give great diligence in the forma-
ton of character, which is to deter
mine the happiness, degree and po-
sition Of individualized spirit in the
earthly state, and reaches over into
the eternal world. And it will
be well to remember that as the ever
restless action Of the waters of the
ocean deposits grain by grain of sand
until the different formations of rocks
appear and the granite mountains
rise. So every word, and thought,
and deed goes to form character. And
as the geolOgist can tell of what the
different stratas of rock are composed
which were formed away back in the
shadowy past; so our action of the
passing days will tell of our character
away off in the coming years, and
away over on the other side of the
tomb.
And well too, will it be to remember
that the secret thought should be pure;
the private action honorable and just.
Jesus, mans elder brother and the
creator Of the world, hath said-"there
is nothing hid which shall not be
