It is thought one blow was struck with the breech of a gnn, which knocked her down, and then tho scoundrel mashed her head with a rock weighing some thirty pounds. Upon her failure to return to tin* bouse, search was instituted by Mr. Venc- able and his neighbors, which lasted all night, but without success. Tuesday mornings he was found as before stated.

A Dlwonlsat !«•»#—TMe Rial* AgHvsl I viral r*lr and IHfSsrt Democratic l,«atlrr»—Secretary Bostwcll sstl Orv U. r. Haller. Georgia is within the jurisdiction of the United States, and is one of the States of the Federal Union. Even tho radical ••Demo cratic" pree* admit, nay contend for this fact. Hence every American citizen, from whatever section, or of whatever political faith, should feel at perfect liberty to visit Georgia, under tbe full assurance that he is still under the dag of his country, and therefore iu perfect security as to person and property. Not only this, he should feel that be, as ou American citizen, is entitled to full recognition as a fellow countryman in all those nuuiboilea* little amenities of social life which arc above and beyond mere legal forms and convention alities. Recognizing these facts, and with a lamia- e purpose to show onr Northern friends that Georgians are not the heathens and Fe- geos they arc sometimes represented to be, tbe Execative Committee of the State Agri cultural Fair, to be held iu Macon next fall, have extended invitations to Secretary Bout- well, Mr. Butler, and other distinguished Northern men and officials of the Govern ment, to attend upon that occasion. The tel- epraph uuuouuced a few mornings since, that ral gentlemen thus invited will bo in at tendance; aud the Georgia pross, with, we be- ', but one isolated exception, ratified tho action o! the Committee, aud rejoiced at the prospect of a re-union which could bat result in the removal of much prejudice and ill-feel ing that has been kept up through the agency of certain disappointed, fanatical party lead- Tkis exception is found in SavauuuIi. Ono oi the Radical Democratic anti-lteconstrue- tion sheets of that city expresses the hope that tho parties invited “will not have the cheek” to attend, aau then proceeds to censare Committee for inviting thorn! Now, tho object of all such diatribes this can bo but to keep up strife und ill feel ing, through fear that peace aud harmony may he restored uuder a Republican adminis tration, and thereby givo tho finishing stroke to tho Disunion Democracy in Goorgia. must be this, siuco it is hardly presumable that men of ordinary intelligence would thus yield themselves up wholly to a system of folly and madenss that wonld, otherwise, bo a discredit to a community of idiots. Wo want Secretary Boutwell, Mr. Butler, Mr. Sumuer, und others of tho prominent men of the Northern States, to bo present upon the occasion alluded to. In behalf of the lnw-ahtding and troo men of this State, we welcome them among us, nnd urge their improvement of the opportunity thus offered to becomo better acquainted with our people. It would result in tho correction of much of that misapprehension as to the spirit and tem per of the Southern people, which still pre vails at the North—a misapprehension which has been injuriously kept up by just such pa pers as the one in Savannah that now objects tc having those misapprehensions removed.-- Men like the editor of the Savannah Republi can who would thus perpetuate strife and ill- fet ling, do not represent tho great majority of tho People of this State. They belong to clique of c isorgnuizers nnd revolutionists which bnvo a counterpart in every country, and who would feed upon the baser prejudices and passions of tho mob in order t their own ascendency as ward politicians.— Their influence is rapidly passing away, and we rejoice that tho limo is coming when o people will be known as they are, and not tho defunct leaders of tho radical Democracy would represent them. . ^ ..mnariTA Til* ■xiji'iciiosnn’B.

Home of [Comiaunicateil.] High Ht hool lv Atlanta. • l)r. Hard; A few days ago yoor correspon dent heard the regret expressed that there was no high school for young ladies in Atlanta, aud doubtless many like the speaker ou that oc casion, are nndej the impression that to give their daughters » finished education they must scud them eisuwhere. Allow mu to sity (his is wholly untrue, aud wholly unjust to the many accomplished men and women who are now offering their services us instructors to the young people ot Atlanta. 1 might name many teachers who havo won reputation elswhere, who are now hero teach ing in humble rooms and basements for tho want of more showy accommodations, but who aru amply capable of giving to a young lady all that she can ever need for use or ornauiunt in *<»ciety. 1 might name many of these, but I forbear. Yet, as tho stranger deserves hos- pimhty, 1 will mention the school of Mrs Me- Caldlcm. Your correspondent is under no obligation lo this person, but truth and justice compel him lo say that, after observing her system of instruction, her fidelity, her thoroughness, and ns tho resalt ot these, her finished graduates, she bus no superior outlie American Continent i everything constituting the education o a lady, he is prepared to compare her graduates (without her ktmwlegs or consent) with those ot any school, I’rotesUnt or Roodsh. What higher compliment can be paid to her than that given in tbe word*of tho Rt. Rov. Bishop (ire u, of Mississippi, when h* says: “I oon- rider it one of tbs greatest blessings of my lifu to bavu had the opportunity of placing my daughter under tbs instruction of this faith ful. thorough and accomplished woman." Will you not say to the people of Atlanta that they aro doing Injustice to themselves by sending their daughters abroad to r«-eeivo an educutiou which they can better obtain at their own doors, surrounded by the soared in* fiuences, of home and at lass expense.

The publicity given to a case of a malignant attempt ut persecution in the shape of the most malicious prosecution, by the individual styled tho Chief Magistrate of Georgia, against tho Treasurer, forces that officer to respond in n statement of facts, nnd make some disclosures to the public heretofore unknown. Before allowing my name to be used as a candidate for the office of State Treasurer, knowing the salary was not an adequate cow- pensation in view of tbe heavy responsibility of receiving and disbursing nearly tiro million dollars vtr annum, giving bond m sum of tiro hutulrea thousand dollars, and performing labors of oilier, I consulted legal authority, and was ( advised that both by law aud custom, ths I {Ootwapoodmep of the Grand lupldi Treasurer was entitled to the interest accruing tagiM upon temporary deposits. Acting nnder that ; advice, I allowed my unmo to go before the General Assembly as a candidate for State Treasurer, aud was duly elected. After my ♦•lection, having no secure place in the Treas urer’s office to keep the funds of tho State, I assumed tho risk of depositing tho samo in the Georgia National Bank, at tho same time c-uteriug into an arraugomout with said bank, by which I was to be allowed a small per oent. on tho daily balances of tho funds required for immediate use, all tho funds on hand at that time being of this character, and oven having to resort to temporary loans, and my men credit and individual funds to meet tho heavy demands, the General Assembly being session, and tho Htato greatly in arrears.— organ, rise la tha moat straightened circum statutes, uuahlako pay a vat its ty pa-sett ore, and borrowing money frtta et«ry ouoMooald.

Inriead of striving to allay bitter animosities, and pro mote paaoe and prosperity, aa the Chief Ex- opntlve of a great Htato, it has been, and is bis effort to Stir up hatred and strife, that ha “ * firm hold on Georgia, by which to JMHffmnny on aH market a An who will uot who rill uot bfcutue his adherent* and ac complices in mischief, whiah is Mu principal oaOHo of ths nwsettlsd statnoT pwbbe affairs in Georgia. Had it been tha good fbrtnne ol Georgia to havo a wUe, honest and just Exec utive, tha General Government would not at this data havo cause to com plain of disloyalty in her borders. This Is the uiau, with all hia corruptions, squandering the Htale’s funds by thouaauds in hia own interest, in violation of law, with mind so perverted that it seems to be his pleasure to shield and reward iuiquity, and muiish honesty and virtue, who has the super- (alive littleness to commonco a vexatious mali cious prosecution against an official because he ilares Uil the truth and act honestly, and he ttndH plenty to join him in the cry, ••crucify him !" crucify him ? who cau get their hands in the Stato Treasury through Executive patronage. Thus, by his reckless extrsvaganou and in roads upon the Treasury, does he flud willing accomplices, and forces poor Georgia to fur nish the dagger to out her own throat. Amid all these villainous efforts to crush a faithful officer, who has had nothing to con ceal, aud whose crime is in not being a tool for corrupt purposes, and who has been told that he ••coaid have made one hnndred thousand dollars by runniug with Bullock," and that he “was a fool for not doing it," but who pre ferred honesty and unapproving conscience to dishonest gain, who has tried to stem the tide of venality and Executive plunder, und savo the good old “Empire State of the South” from bankruptcy and rain, it is gratifying to know that the great mass of tho people, who are beyond the corrupting iuliuonce of Exec utive patronage, and whose commendation ia worth having, are with tho Treasurer, and semi him cheering greetings of approval and praise. N. L. Anoikb, Treasurer. Treasurer's Cfilce, Atlanta, Oa., Aug 27, I860.

For their safe custody, a strong den with irou bars was provided and placed near tho forecastle, ro that they could bo constantly under the eye ol the crew. All went well until the morning of tho second day out, whou u crash was heard, and in an in- stunt the large ohaemu had wrenched several bars off, and tho next instant was on tho fore castle, armed with the bars with which ho hud been confined.

(Micliif'sn) • • * To make it an intelligible matter to tho reader, let me say that tho Buffalo, Corry A Pittsburg Itoad intersects the Lake Shore Road at thi* place. The stution at the junction is named Broeton. Now let it bo un derstood, that from this point to Mayville, at the Load of Chaut&nqua Lnke(a distance of only ten miles), a train is carried ovor on elevation of 700 feet. From the station to the summit the grade is nbont eighty feet to tho mile,with ourvos which iucrcase tho distance by four miles. It is over this road that immense quantities of petroleum aro bought. Un Tuesday evening, aboat 9 o’clock, a train, cons.sting of six oil oars and two pas senger cars, reached the summit, on its way Here, by some cause yet nn- As I assumed the risk of depositing, (ovents i t0 l J ie j°o®f* on * - - having since transpired which proved it „„ I one ot the oil tanks took fire, t he «»nil onr) I thought I was clearly entitled to P“ s ? < ’ 0 8« c “™ 'v* r ° once detached, and the tho littlo benefits accruing on the temporary br ‘ lk ™ “ to PP e <> V* 0 ®- . Next , th “ 0,1 Cil ™ T e deposits, which, for the period of nearly six cut off - “ nd th,> locomo ive, tender, and a box ^* • -■ •• - car, containing two valuable horses und two won, passed down tho road, the engineer sup posing that the brakomcn on tho oil enrs would arrest the course of those, but what was his horror, ou looking back, to sco tho six cars in pursuit of him down tho grade, envolopod in flames. They not only pursued, but overtook him, striking tho box-car with inconceivable force, kuocking tho horses aud men flat upon the floor, aud yet, almost miraculously, not throwing tho engino from tho track. It was now, with tho engineer a race for life, nnd he gave the engino every ounco of steam. Loooking South from the placo of my residence at that terrible juncture, ono of tho most magnificent spectacles was witnessed that a man sees in a lifetime. A sheet of in tensely bright flamo, sixty foot high, was seen coming down that Southern slope, apparently with the speed of n meteor, und really very noarly tho speed of a hurricano (eighty miles an hour;) for pursused and pursuer flew ovor tho course, or rather down it, and around the courso at tho rnto of more than seventy miles an hoar, as tho onginoer declares, nnd as ev ery ono cau believe who witnessed tho specta cle. Tho whole hoavens wero illuminated and tho landscape was lit up as by tho noon day light. Onward and downward flow tho engino, nnd behind it flow and thundered tho lingo flory demon. 'I'wico its prodigious weight was driven against tho fugitive, as if instinct with a purposo to drive it from tho track. It seem ed as if to tho heroio engineer and fireman there was a porloct environment of peril. The speed of tho engino was such that it ceased to pump; then again tho Cincinnati express was duo ut tho junction at this time. Tfio engin eer of the oil train whistled “open-switch,” and shuking hands with tho fireman, they bade each other farewell, knowing that their lives depended on tho opening of tho Lake Shore switch by their frioiis below, and thin was to imporil tho express train coming down from tho wost with its living human freight. The engiueer on this train saw the Are when it first broke out at tho summit, and suppos ing he could clear tho junction before the flaming terror reached it, he, too, put his en gine to its utmost Bpeod on a level grado. A mile short of the junction he saw tho effort was a vain one, for tho flying conflagration had rushed out on tho Lake shorn track, and was roaring onward in the diroctiou of Dun kirk. He oheckod tho headlong rush of his train aud brought it to a stand-still. It did not proceed until 3 o’clook this morning. Tho case took in another danger, nnd it was imminent, A heavy freight train was coining np tho Lake Shore Road. AH I will any of tho oscupe of this is that it did escapo to tho side track, and only escaped by tho lust min ute of possibility. Running on to a snfo distance from the de pot, tho engineer of tho oil train detached his engino and left tho six cars to consume. Ho nays his situation was fully realized by him. Ho expooted to looso his life. At every mo ment he expected tho engine to leave tho track. He saw ho was going at u perilous rate ot speed, but there was no help lor it. Tile demon was behind him, and hu declares that it looked like a demon. With that fondness, or real affection, for his engine which those men display, hu said, “ I thought everything of my engine, and was determined to stay by it to tho lust. ” Tho fireman made ono at tempt to escapo by jumping from the tunder, bat tbe engitiwur restrained him. Altogether, the occurrence was a remarkable one, nnd iu part remarkable for this—no livou wore lost. The hrnkomuti on the oil cars had goue buck to the passenger ears, whou the oil cars started.

By a strict construction of tho law, doubts huviug arisen whotber tho Treas urer was entitled to said interest, I paid tho sumo into tho Treasury, previous to any kuow- iedgo that I was being prosecutod, although leading lawyers and the best commercial and financial men of the Legislature gave it as their judgmeut that tho Treasurer was enti tled to it In contrast to this pitiful amount received by tho Treasurer, but since paid into tho Treasury, that officer will present to tho pub lic a few instances of tho illegal uses of the Blab; funds by tho Executive for his owu beu- Uu the 21st November, 18G8, when the Htate had sufficient funds on band to meet all reasonable oxpenses, (having on the day pre vious drawn twenty-five thousand dollars) ($25,000,) tho Cashier of tho Georgia National Bank presented the Governor’s uralt ou the Temporary Loans for twenty-Jive thousand dol lars ($25,000) more, and voluntarily stated that Gov. Bullock was indebted to their Bank seventeen thousand dollars ($17,000,) and this twenty-flvo thousand dollars was to cover up and make good to the Bank the Governor's indi vidual indebtedness, although said deposit was plscod to the credit ot the Htste. Tho State was thus forced to pay, as per statement of Cashier, nearly eleven per cent, on this twenty-five thou sand dollars, drawn softly os an offset, for the time being, against tho individual deficit of the Governor. Tho Governor admitted to tho Treasurer, that ont of the thirty-fivo thousand dollars il legally drawn from the Fourth National Bank by him, four thousaml dollars be rotaiuod for his own use, part as his salary, though ho did not fail, after the adjournment of the General As- sembly, to draw his warrants for tho full amount of his salary, independent of tho fonr thousand of tho btnte's money used by him, and still unpaid and unaccounted for. The Governor has already paid as retainers' fees iu this prosecution, fivc hundred dollars each to Pro legal firms, by Exeentive warrants drawn on the Treasury, which is three times " ^^^mf of Interest received by tho Treasu rer. Tbe Genera! Assembly at its last session made an appropriation ns tho salary of tho Htato Attorney Geuoral, as follows: “Ro it enacted, that the hqiu of two thousand dollar* in currency bo and is hereby appropriated *h tho salary of tho Attorney General of tho .Stale, nnd that no other fees or emoluments bo allowed him from the State, and that among the other duties of his office, shall hu that of Attorney for the Statu Road,” Ae. In violation of this appropriation, the Gov ernor has drawn warrants in favor of that offi cer for nearly three thousaml dollars In less than nine months, and there is no tolling to what farther extent these warrants wonld have boon drawn, had tho Troasurer boon as ready BY TELEGRAPH. jkMtCtArSD tit ESS I) ISP AIVIt ME.
