This wBl be one terminus. The Directors have not yet deoided which way to ran it from Whitehall— whether up Alabama to Broad and theaoe across the bridge, or down Alabama to Pryor and thenoe to the passenger de pot If it tirnteea the bridge a diveraion will be made ao as to pass tha KimbaQ House, and then** op Peachtree. If it stops at the depot on Pryor Street another line will oommenee in front of the Kimball House and go op Peachtree, This latter route, we learn, will most probably,be the oneseleoted. It eannot cross the railroad at either Whitehall or Pryor Street crossing; hen co the probability of commencing a new <li virion on Pryor at the Kimball House door. We look upon this as s great enterprise, the effects of which are not as sensibly felt at present as when it is completed. The oars were ordered to be here by the 88th, and by tha last of this month the Kne will be in operation on the di vision now in course of construction. At the rate of progrees made thus far, the whole line will be oompleted in a very abort time.

A gentleman who came up the Selma, Rome and Daltou Railroad Tuesday night, arrived in this city yesterday, and informed us last night of a most atro cious rape, committed by a negro hist* upon a woman near Cave Springs, in this State, a few days ago. He escaped for the time, and made his way to Oroes Plains, in Alabama. Before he arrived there, he got into a fight and fatally stabbed another negro near Sadiga. He was pursued, and his retreat discovered. One of the party entered the eabin where he was sitting and remarked, “John, I have oaughtyou/’atthe same time draw ing his pistol. A3 he did this the negro made a spring at the weapon, but his oaptor was too fast for him, and he missed it. He then picked np a chair with the intention of killing his enemy, and as he raised it to strike, the man fired at him, the ball entering just below the eye, aud ranging backwards, lodged, as the negro says it felt, in the back of his head. He was secured and oarried to the depot, and as the up train came along, was put aboard, where our in formant saw him and learned the partic ulars. He begged his captors to kill him rather than take him back to the scenes of his first crime, preferring death he said, to meeting the vengeance of an infuriated neighborhood, as he said. He is represented as a most fiendish, daring looking black devil, and from what our informant could hear from the capturing party they were uneasy as to the result likely to follow the appearance of the prisoner in the community which he had so foully outraged. The negro was fully conscious of the danger, nml al though wounded badly he closely sur veyed the chances of an escape while on the train. Attention was called to an act of his in preparing to spring out at the window, which was immediately letdown. He was not bound, they considering him too badly Wounded to escape. When the party landed at their destination our in formant was satisfied that his chances of escape were very limited. TELEGRAPH N )W8 Special flispata toTUftSm By Atlanta and JTaahvlUe Now.

Mr. Authony Brown, a colored youth, was accused of the fashionable failing of KLEPTOMANIA. It is singular that people will persist in believing our new-fledged citizens guilty of indiscretions practised by their white friends. Life will have its troubles, however, and one of Anthony’s troubles was this little case. He reminded his Honor that the immortal Beast rode into Congress on the strength of being a successful kleptomaniac, and wished to know if a negro had not as good a right to what he could lay his fingers on, plundering Federal General. This was a poser, and his Honor got oat of it by re ferring the matter to the jury, and the juiy adjudged him guilty, and poor Anthmy was mulcted in a heavy punish ment. His Honor then assumed a new role, and shone forth as a man who makes TWAIN ONE FLESH. He married a couple to the satisfaction of all concerned. The happy bride re ceived the congratulations of an admir ing array of friends. A lot of other matters were attennded to, when the Court adjourned. For Juallce of (he Peace# This morning wo publish a patriotic oard from Mr. E. R. SasseeD, declining the use of his name as a candidate for Justice of the Peace, aud recommending his friends to vote for Col. W. T. Holder- ness. Mr. Sasseen is an old citizen of At lanta, identified personally with almost its entira history, and is highly esteemed by our people. In declining the race, ho has risen above selfish couaiderations and taken a patriotic view of the mutter which is very greatly to his credit. He is satisfied that Col. Holderness will make a Magistrate who will reflect credit upoa the office, and be honored by our people of all olossca, and therefore desires his election. We are plpased with Col. Holderness’ candidacy. We believe he is the only candidate in the field. We know of no other, and shall be gratified if no other is announced, feeliug confidant that the mantle of the ofilce could not fall upon the shoulders of any one who would more worthily or satisfactorily wear it Th. W.lrr Melon Trad., We noticed « lot of melons at the es tablishment of Pease A His Wife, labelled for Cincinnati. Pease has so many con signments that ho haa to ahip them a long way off, and sell thousands ut home, to get rid of them. His fruit staud in the morning looks crowded, while in the evening there ie not mnch of a show. Our very near neighbors, Messrs. Pee ples A Howell, htve taken apartments in the H. 1. Kimball House, and have re moved their office thither. Cotton in thia market yesterday was very quiet and weak at 19 cents. But lit tle was coming in; scarcely any on hand. Nsw York, Juiy 12.—(Jofernor Huffman issued a proclamation vch- tenlay that the Orangemen be protec ted, whereupon the police superin tendent, Kelso, withdrew the order forbidding the procession. The Orangemen appeal to the old Know Nothings to reorganize. It is understood that Oen. Mc Dowell will co-operate with the State authorities. Circulars have been issued for the formation of a Protestant Leufue of America, wherein it is asserted that the claims of Itoman Catholicism are incompatible with civil and religions lilicrty. If is understood that six thousand have been enrolled for this organization. Yesterday batteries were placed at most points where an attack on the procession was apprehended. There is more hone this morning of a peaceful issue. Police aud military ar rangements are oomplete. The streets in the np-town districts have the appearance of a holiday.— Groups of loungers are to be seen oo near ly every corner. Gangs of men—five and six in number—may be noticed going iu the direction of the Western part of the city. Altogether affairs look very threatening. The men in the mar ble and stone yards along East river, have nearly all left work, it is suppose il, for the purpose of opposing the Orange men’s |iaraae. Rumors are rife that rioting is nr in going on in the upper part of Nonlh Avenue. Nook—The much talked of and long looked for riot commenoed about a quar ter post eleven this morning. lie-ports have commenced coming id, the first report was from the 23d preoUKvt, and was to the effect that tile mob hi id collided in tire vicinity of Eighty-thied street and Third Avenue, and were dri r- ing the people from the streets. Two hundred and twenty-five police men were immediately picked out, and under the command of Captain Hedden, of the 16th precinct, were ordered to the above point to disperse the mob. The seoond dispatch was from the Thirty-second Precrnct, and stated that the rioters were marching through the boulevard, and hod attacked the Italian and Swiss laborers in vieinity. of One Hundred and Forty-third street end Ninth Avenue. The Superintendent and General Shit ler immediately held a consultation, and oonoladed to send a regiment to that point General Shaler immediately or dered seven companies of the Seventy- first Regimeut, to proceed to and guru d that point The last order had hardly been given when another report was reoeived that several Fenians had collected about tire Fenian headquarters at Nineteenth and Twentv-first avenue, where a large quan tity o> arms are stored, and clamored loudly to be given their arms. Thts was refused and they threatened to pall down the place.' About 260 offi cers were put in stages immediately and sent there. At the Fifth regiment armo ry, iu Hester street, a large crowd had collected and signified their intention of taking the arms. There were about 100 men of the regiment in the armory, to each of whom were dealt out forty rounds of cstridgee. This morning, seeing that the regiment was prepared for an attack, one brawny individual said : “Come boys, let’s go down to the Seventh Word and get the lads, and we’ll clean out the d—d Dntch.” A majority of the mob then started off under the leadership of this man to get the lads. Prince street is alive with men speaking in whispers, who, when they see any stranger coming, “keep silent’’ There was a report of a fight at Hiber- uian Hall, but before the police reached there it was stopped and all quiet. The procession commences at 2 o’clock. Firing bos been heard for the last hoar, but no casualties reported. A number of persons armed with pis tols. knives end hatchets were arrested. They had been drinking freely. Nkw Yobk, July 12.—About a thousand of the natives on Ninth Avenue furiously attacked the Bwisa aud Italian laborers, compelling them to qnit work. About this time the uptown laborers quit work, end were arriving in great numbers. About 1 P. if. the erod greatly increased around Hibernia Hall, and demonstra tions became so threatening that orders were given to disperse them. A large body of polio* booked by two regiments, proceeded to the spot and met fistee re- ristence. Clubi were freely used, causing Several broken beads. The crowd grafi- ’***1^38* r. m.—All gangs marching np town suddenly dispersed. This looked ominous, the authorities judged their intention to be to congregate on some point on the rente of the procession.

After mnch delay the Orange prooat- sion started, at half past 8 p. ft)., down Ninth avenue, amidst oonfusion, crowded windows and a dense maltitade. Their strength nos only four hundred Thqy moved off to the tone of “Had ! Colom bia," with King William's banner and as aoeompaniad by a crowd of twenty-five handled. Several shots were Orel from windows, ho nee-tope, from sod behind tracks, onestriking oo officer of the 7th regiment vfho immediately levelled his rifle aud fired into tha erowa. Thia appeared to be tho signal for a gen eral fasilade, end the 8th rqgiment imme diately fired inter the crowd. The 7th end 9tb regiments immediately followed unit—some firing indiscriminately into windows, others, taking more deadly aim end firing into the crowd of men, women aud children, mowing them down in e shocking manner. The soene that ensued baffled all de scription. Numerous crowds assembled on the corners of bloeks adjacent to the bloody scene in tha direction followed by the police, who clubbed them unmerci fully. The shrieks of women from the windows were heartrending, and some Irish women tore their bonnets and hats from their heads, and waving them at the military, oried, “Down with the Orange men 1” The detectives, in the mean while, were ljn«y olabbing and arresting all persons having arms about them. . Between fifty and sixty wete killed, tnd eighty-two wounded by tbe firing of the military into the crowd. The woun ded were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital. Many legs and arms were amputated. During the melee Colonel Fisk met with a serious accident and retired. As the procession went along the detectives cleared the sidewalks, arresting all per sons who had arms eonoealed. Police kept clear passage. As the Or angemen moved into Union Square they were met with yells and hisses. On arriv ing at Cooper institute, procession halted and bivouacked. A vast crowd had assem bled in the neighborhood. The military and polioe fell bock on different orowds, and managed by dividing publio atten tion to enable Orangemen to disperse un observed. Col. Spenoer, of the 9th Regiment, wss seriously wounded. About forty dead bodies have been tak en to the Morgue for recognition, while there is supposed to be qnite as many more taken to their homes.

Iu the course of his sermon st the ded ication ul 8t.,l'uul'a Catholic Church at llarlcm, Suuday, Archbishop McCljsky alluded earnestly to the threatened Or- augemeu's Uemunit ration on Wedueeday night. He Haul: “We all know the dan ger which threatens the community in the course oi the .ensuing week. Tbe newspapers have agitated it; rumor has wafted u to our ears end even the dead walls are placarded with lowering evil. Everything tells us that a systematic and combined effort is now being mode to ex cite an auti-Catholio movement in the community. The procession announced to take place iu our streets on Wednes day next, is intended by the participants to produce the end spoken of. Therefore I earnestly exhort every Catholio to be ware of even going near that Orange pro- oession on Wednesday next. I hope the proper authorities will see the wisdom of preventing it. With all my aoul I en treat you, Irish Catholics, to moke no counter demonstration of any kind. Do nothing that would give your enemies the chauce they count ou to divert to yon the odium which those Orangemen will be sure to bring upon thpmselvee. If they be allowed to carry ont their unprovoked programme of silly offunsiveneas unmo lested, they are not worthy of recogni tion. Even ns foes avoid them m yon would uuy other pest. Let those Or angemen utone; let them severely alone.” After stating that should a oonflict occur, the Catholio cause aud the Irish unme would suffer, the Bishop continued: “1 warn all parents, husbuuds and brothers, to go to their enjoyments and attend to their urdiuury avocations as usual on Wednesday next, and return peacefully to their homes in the evening. Let Cath olic mothers, wives and sisters, remain at their liouicH and attend to thuir home du ties, aud allow 110 unworthy cariosity to draw them near UiiB Orange piooession.” The death of Alexander Ruth John son, Geographer, aged 07 years, is an nounced.

Not being well acquainted t 1 ;•«, ou arriving iu Boston he call- cu ut, u ulead's and asked with much con cern liow he was to get to th 0 college, und what he was to do when he got there.— The friend took him out in a carriage; they reached the square just os the pro cession was murching ove r the Green; the friend caught a marshal, who hurried af ter the Chief Marshal, who got the chairman of the occasion, Richard H. Dana, Jr.; the poet And tho chairman were excitedly introduced, the former ta ken into the procession, allowed to drift into the church, flud a scat and look out generally for himself. These were the auspices under which he delivered his poein. He did his best, however; read his hues as loudly as ho could* which was not at all loud ; got out of his dilemma as easily its possible, and when he finish ed, slipped out of a side door, hurried into a '•ar and got back to Newport and seclusion as quickly as cars could take him.
