Rome Female College.

The death of Mrs. Caldwell, Who, for
many years, occupied prominent posi-
tion among the most useful educators of
the South, has given risesto the inquiry,
whether the Rome Female College will
be suspended. The greatness of the loss
it has sustained is mournfully recognized
and yet its halls must be kept open
Her son, Prof. S. G. Caldwell, with
competent assistants, will have charge
of the educational work of the college,
and his wife, with him, will have control
CT the boarding department, and of the
social life of the young ladies of the
institution.
1t may be well for me, Is President of
the College, whose great bereavement
necessitates this change, to say that my
son, Prof. S. c. Caldwell, who graduated
at Princeton in 1868, has been associated
with me, as a principal teacher, for
eighteen years. He has been quietly
giving instructions, unsurpassed in &C
curacy, thoroughness and efficiency, and
now occupies a prominent position
among the distinguished educators of
the State He has been Secretary and
also President, of the Georgia Teachers
Association. He has served as one OF
the instructors in the Teachers Institute
for several years, and now is under APP
pointrlent to an important position in
the Teachers Institute which was opened
in Atlanta on the I'd of August
Mrs s. G. Caldwell, q gifted and cult
waited lady, who has lived in the college
lot and been intimately associated with
the faculty, sometimes as teacher i:
we'll fitted for the position she will
occupy.
The exercises of the College will there
fore, be resumed, with competent assis
tants, on the first Monday of September
under this new arrangement, which,
trust, will be satisfactory to the trustees
of the Synod of Georgia and to GU
patrons.

Secretary Bayard demands the un-
conditional release, by Mexico, of August
X. Cutting, an American imprisoned in
tempt of court; and Mexico refuses to
liberate him. This is the situation.
Cutting has been resident of Paso
del NoIte, Mex, where he has published
a paper In this paper he printed a libel
on a man named Medina, was arrested
for the offense, and retracted. .Subse-
quently, however. he again assaiIed the
same person in both English and Span
ish. bat printed the libel in United
States territory. The Mexican authori-
ties claim that he circulated this libel
in Mexico; hence his prosecution and
punishment.
The man who has managed to keep
busy the diplomacy of two nations for
several weeks, was born at Hudson, y.
Y, in 1889. He learned printing and
travelled much as journeyman. When
the Union Army threatened Nashville,
Cutting was in that city, where he
joined company enlisted in its defense.
At the tall of Nashville he went North.
In Toledo he married his first wife,
from whom he is divorced. He was a
resident of Kansas City when he mar
ried the present Mrs. Cutting. His
pursuits in that thriving town Included
the publication of daily newspaper.
He accumulated prop rty there, which
he lost by fire. Going 10 Trinidad, Col,
ne sta ted newspaper. Three years
ago he was living at Las Vegas, New
Mexico. He is under sentence of a years
Imprisonment and six hundred dollars
fine. His case has been appealed, and
Cutting has sent a message TO Texas
asking for hep. 1t is said that he is
lows irited, AM places no dependence
on Mr.. Bayard's diplomacy.
The general expectation is that the
dispute with Mexico, of which Cutting is
the subject, will be adjusted without
recourse to arms, Notwithstanding the
irritation on the frontier. PUBL c opinion
in this country is divided as to whether
or not the Mexican authorities are cor
rect in their contention, that they have,
under the principles OF International
law, the Fight to refuse the liberation of
Cutting. Perhaps a more certain ac-
quaintance with the facts will enable the
judicial mind to determine which power
is right in the controversy.

Of course expected civil treatment and

soldiers who invited me to come, but can
not express my appreciation of the dis
tinguished honor you have done me. The
fact is, j am quite overwhelmed. You
cannot appreciate my feeling at the sight
of this old sword. It has a history-it was
worn BY my predecessor, Capt. Tom Sharp,
who was killed in front of Atlanta while
bravely leading his company. His body
fell into the hands of the Federals, who
gave it decent burial. He was Mason,
and was buried by members OF that noble
fraternity This sword was returned TO
Gen. Sharp, the brother Of the Captain,
and commander of the brigade which bore
his name. The latter presented the sword
to me upon my promotion 10 the command
OF the company.
As this sword has never been used ex-
cept in good faith, it will not, trust, be
unsheathed in future except in defense Of
our common country, united in heart and
interest, the grandest on the face of the
earth.
Our boys are ready to take part, on short
notice, in the little Cutting scrape on our
Southern border, and will prove as loyal TO
the stars and stripes that wave above me as
the gallant veterans of the 10th or their
sons; side by side they will prove to our

able TO back up all its demands. | think,

in the Mississippi Mills, locat-

Accordingly, they issued an order some

them have gone back to the mills, :,
To-day a committee of knights, head

mills. to demand reinstatement OF
their men. They were informed that
the officers of the Mississippi Mills

Mr.. Barry did his cause harm here by
advocating the working of negroes
