Our Georgia Letter.

MLLLEDGEvILLE, GA, August %, 1871.
An enthusiastic public meeting has just
been held here to consider the location OF
the Agricultural College, which the Gen
eral Government, by act of Congress, pro-
poses to notwithstanding lands for that
purpose. By the terms of the act (lS72)
the State is required to accept the dona-
ton and furnish the necessary buildings
and lands for the institution before she
can avail herself of the donation. These
conditions precedent, Georgia will doubt
less perform at the ensuing November
session of her Legislature. The lands to
which Georgia will be entitled under the
act of Congress amounts to 100000 acres.
/ believe Tennessee, long ago, has en-
ioyed the benefit of her donation, and that
her Agricultural Institution is in your
city.
The meeting here to-day was occupied
mainly with the subject of location of the
college-this city being a candidate for that
IocotiOn. The meeting was addressed in
eloquent terms by Col. H. ID. Capers, of
Savannah, and Others, and appropriate resC-
lutions were passed.
The vacant public buildings at this place.
and the extensive buildings and lands of
old Oglethorpe University in the neigh
borhOod, aggregating in value million of
dollars, will be donated to the new institu-
ton: and doubtless the next Legislature
will locate it here. The subject was earn
estly discussed in the recent convention of
The State Agricultural Society at Rome );
and the indications were then decidedly
favorable to locating the College at Mil
ledgeville.
The crops of this region have been re-
Gently suffering from drought. Cotton
prospects are certainly poorer than they
have been for many years; and corn is but
little better. The recent extravaganza cal
culation of some of the corrupt New York
journals, putting the growing crop at
A, 200, 900 bales, is wilfully false, and is in
tended to serve the fraudulent purposes of
the monopOlizing cotton buyers of that
heartless and constituencies city.
The health of this section is excellent !;
and, also, of the seacoast region.
We have spent much time of late at st.
Mary's, in the interest of the st. Mary's
and Western Railroad Company. The
means for building the first 80 miles of the
road are secured, making an important
connection, and assuring us of a paying
road. A preliminary survery of the road
has been completed, and another is in
progress, locating the work. The con-
struction of the road will commence at st.
Mary's on the 1st of October next. The
road will ultimately penetrate the cele-
brated Okeefenokce Swamp-One of the
wonders of the world, unlike every other
swamp (Which we visited over a month
ago-and "seeing, saw" w. G. NJ.

City of New York Against the New York
Times.

New York, Aug. 23.-An ejectment suit
was commenced to-day in Eehalf of the
city against George Jones d Co., alleged
owners of the Times building, the plot of
which is claimed as city property. 1t is
said the ground was given by the city in
1865 to number of Presbyterian gentle
men, who built the old brick church there
on, a condition of the conveyance being
that it should be forever devoted to relig-
ious uses and to purposes of a cemetery,
and to revert to the corporation in case of
its not being used for these purposes.
The aldermen will pass resolution call
ing upon the city authorities to carry on
the suit to recover the property, which is
valued at million of dollars. 1t is said
on the other hand that the ground was
purchased by the original prOprietors of
the Times directly from the trustees of the
old brick church; that the reversion was
at the same time purchased from the city
authorities, and that full consent of the lat
ter as well as of the Legislature, to the
transfer, was obtained.

The Savannah Ne,Os does not seem in
clined to depart" 1t says: "If the New
York World is really the leader of the So
called democratic new departure it is
fatally injuring its cause. Its fiippant
mockery over the grave of the Lost Cause, ;
(the cause of the Constitution and the
rights of the States) and its coarse abuse of
Jefferson Davis will find no sympathy in
the South. The Lost Cause is precious
memory with the democrats of the South,
and the misfortunes of Mr.. Davis are the
misfortunes of his people. The new de-
parture' men may be sure of that"
