Wo ask spocial attention to the adver

lie is ono of tho most successful teachers
iu tho United States; and in Georgia and
Maryland, whero he is known, his repu
tation as a teacher is not excelled by any
ono.
Those who are under the noecssity of
sending their boys away from home to bo

Advertising.
A New York paper very sensibly says
nothing is moro common than to hear
people talk of what thoy pay for adver
tising, etc., as so much given to charity.
Newspapers, by enhancing tho value of
property iu the neighborhood, giving
tho localities iu which they aro pub
lished a reputation nbrond, benefit all
such, particularly if they aro merchants
or real estate owners, twice tho amount
weekly of the meager sum they pay for
then' support. Besides, every public
spirited citizen has a laudable pride in
having a paper of which ho is not
ashamed, even if ho should pick it up in
Now l'ork and Washington. A good
looking, thriving shoot helps property,
gives a character to .locality, and is, iu
many rospccts, a pnblic convenience. If
from any cause tho matter in tho local or
editorial column should not bo up to
your standard, do not cast it aside and
prououuco it good for nothing, until sat
isfied thero has boeu no more lubor be
stowed upon it than is paid for, ii you

trade has been brisk enough. Yesterday

was that of
JOE ni'EKS,
a stalwart negro, arraigned for fast .and
reckless driving through the street. Joe's
oxcuso was that his horse was a well-
knowu spirited steed, which had previous
to this caused his several different owners
a great deal of trouble aud sonio money.
The auimal, Joo said, became frightened
aud dashed along Hunter Street forsowe
distance before he could be checked; and
after getting him well iu hand he rotracod
the route at an equally furious rato for

just been released from the calabooso.
Several witnesses did not'hear Mrs. L.

others proved to the contrary. The thing
was mixed so, His Honor dismissed the
ease.
The next case against her was pre
ferred by the same negro, who charged
Mrs. Lambert with selling liquor on tho
Sabbath. Tho same crowd of wituossos
were re-sworn, but not enough truth was
distilled from tho whole tea party to war

‘'Atlanta As It 1*.”
lHOiKY NUNNALLY,
colored, came up with two or three sovtre
gashes cut over his os froutU, his right
eye entirely goue, aud his face otherwise
mangled. Two officers went to his house
the night before, liclioviug ho was har
boring tlio robbers who assaulted young
Maffitt, Sunday night. When
they requested Henry to strike
light he refused, and began
cursing aud swearing at a terrible rate,
Tlio officers endeavored to persuade him
from making so much noise as they were
in the yard near the house, and appre
hensive that the supposed robbers would
escape. But this only sorvod to arouse
Henry’s passions, till at lost ho and one
of them clinched, when Henry received
a blow over the head. Tho fight lasted
sorno tiino, and Henry got the worst of
it. Ho was lodged in the calaboose. His
Honor reviewed the testimony at length,
and entered into a long dissertation on
several nice legal points, dissecting Ihe
14th and 15th amendments to the Con
stitution, and dismissing tho prisoner
with 85 fino aud oosts. It was at least a
fifty dollar case, but he got full credit

that ho had cot sworn an oath in two

not only swear, but was most gloriously
drunk iu tho bargain. This pat the blush
on John, and he turnod several degrees
blacker. It was no uso, odo could tell
from the cut of His Honor's cyo what was

Iml'ortunt Dcliluii byhli IIonoi-.JiitlK
We have received from tho author,
Johu Staiuhaok Wilson, M. D., of this
city, a neat little work of the above title.
It is iu pamphlet form aud covers 110
pages.
We have permed it with pleasure, aud
found in it a great deal of interesting
nmttd connected with tlio early history,
progress and proseut condition of Atlan
ta.
The city was incorporated, with its
present name, in 1817, Before that tho
place was known ns Mnrthasvilla Tho
name of Atlanta, though Dr. Wilson
don’t state the fact, wo believe, origina
ted with Mr. J. Edgar Thompson, then
tho Enginecr-in-Chief of the Georgia
Railroad.
In 1817 tho only house of worship was
on old log school-honso on what was then
known os “Ohinquopin Thicket," on the
site whero now stands tho residence of
Mr. Henry Banks, on Peachtreo Stroot
The population then wus only a fow hun
dred. It is now estimated at thirty
thousand.
The work gives n full account of all tho
religious and educational institutions, the
societies, literary, benevolent anil dra
matic, and everything pertaining to the
moral as well os tho material resources of
the city.
Iu 1869 tho real eetato was valnod at
89,090,000. Tho value of morohaudiso
sold in tho place that year was over 810,-
000,000. There ore now over four hun
dred stores on tho business streets, and
about 875 licensed firms within tho limits
of the corporation.
Wo stato these facts for the purposo of
indicating the general character of tho
work. Thoso who wish to soc it and read
for themselves can procure it from Dr.

llciuedy for Sunstroke.
Rocoutly a gentleman was reading a
letter of an Oriental traveler, and was
particularly impressed with an account
of a romedy for sunstroke. Ono of the
party of travelers fell from his beast,

heat. Tho Arabs immediately squeozed
out tho juice of several lemons, and with
it rubbed the hands and wrists, face,

Sutreme Court of Groroia, |
July 19, 1871. j
Tho cause of R. J. Wilson, rax Rc-
caiver, ot a!., vs. Tho Augusta Factory—
Injunction from Richmond—was set
down for hoariug at the heel of the
Southwestern Circuit.
Argument in the case of Tho Atlantic
A Gulf R. R. Co. vs. Tlior. Mann, was
resumed and concluded.
No. 12, Albany Circuit, which had been
set dowu for hearing at tho heel of this
Circuit, was takon up. It is Moses F.
Hollis vs. John Williams—Injunction
from Calhoun; D. D. Morral, W. A.
Hawkins for plaintiff in error; levy on
dcGraiTenreid A Irvin; Wooten and Hoyle
for defundwta in error.
Pending argument for defendant in
this case, the Court adjourned till 10
o’e'.ock a. m. to-morrow.
A very interesting question to day was
argued before his Honor, tho Ordinary,
on a writ of habeas corpus, calling on the
Blatc to show cause why Anthony Brown,
convicted during tho July Term of tho
District Court and sentenced by his Hon
or, Judge Lawrenoo, to a fine of 8100 or
twelve months on the public Roads, &c.,
for the offense of larceny from tho house,
should uot bo discharged. Unilor the
general section of tho Code 1216, the pris
oner lmd been sentenced for tho term of
twelve months; but on tho noxt day tlio
Conrt called the attention of the Sheriff
to the fact tllut ho had ehangod the sen-
teuco in accordance with tho lost ret of
tho Legislature altering the nforeiaidsa :-
lion to six months work on the rosd, aud
at the same time ordered this order to bo
spread upon tho minntes of this Court.
By his attorneys, Messrs. Robinson and
Fiuly, Anthony Brown sued out tho writ
of habeas corpus, on the ground that he
was illegally hdd under restrain!, the
sontenco being null nnd void iu, that the
Conrt be right to alter its Bcutcnco after
it had been entered on them uuUwof tho
Court. The Court of Ordinary, after long
and ablo arguments, held, “That the
suit should bo quashed and the priaonor
remanded to jail for tho said six mouths on
the ground that a Court can amend ita
own judgment JVimc pro lane even after
its judgment has been entered on the
minutes as the law under tlio Code,
is very liberal in allowing amend-
mentSj and in especially as the case at bar
was one which had been amended in tho
furtherance of jnstice.
Tho Court further held that it could
not, on a writ of habeas corpus, reverse
tho decision of tho Judge of the District
Conrt; that tho prisoners remedy was by
a writ of certiorari granted 1 >y tlio Judge
of the Superior Court, aud uot by the
writ of habeas corpus sought’for. W. O.

Messrs. Raslmry and Ed. Murphy, pro

the prisoner was brought to this oity, and

see how tho horses would behave. The

feays they are “high pressure,” and no

the very pair of horses thoy have been

Trial of the Traction Engine.
Tho work of erecting the woudcr/ul
Traction Engine, to which allusion has
been made several times iu tho columns
of tho Nows, was completed on Saturday
uftcruoou, and a large number of curious
ami interested spectators wero present at
tho wharf of tho Empire Steamship Com
pany to witness tho first trial of tho ma
chine, among them several machinists.—
Steam was raised in a short time, suffi
cient to put tho eugiuo iu motion, and it
was movod off iu a manner astonishing
to all. Though not a “thing of beauty,"
it is not so uncomely iu its appearance as
one would think from an inspection of
its various ports. Tho apporeut case and
graccfulucss of its motions arc not much
inferior to thoso of au ordinary railroad
engine.
Tho position of tlic driver is on a scat
in front, with all of the levers necessary
for working the eugiuo within convenient
reach. A wheel iu front, which is con
trolled by the driver with perfect oase,
regulates tho turnings of tho engine,
whioh aro greatly facilitated by tho fact
that tho side wheels may bo worked back
wards or forwards, like the wheels of a
double engine steamboat, so that it cau
be turned around almost within Us own
length.
Every
very ono who witnessed the test on
Saturday expressed tho opinion that it
was a success, and it is confidently be
lieved that thoso who are contemplating
its use wUl not bo disappointed. Crowds
of persona visited tho wharf yesterday to
look at this innovation upon tho present
facilities for road travel; thoy wero orriv

A Knotty Law Question.
Ono of the oldest qtnvitionB ever sub
mitted to lawyers, is now puzzling tlioa^
of Hartford, Connecticut. It uccuih that
a man who recently died there left
widow, oliildlcsH, but expectingshortly to
become a mother. By hie will he pro
vided that if his expected child proved
to be a 1>oy, two-thirds of tho property
should go to him and one-third to the
widowed mother. If, however, the child
proved to bo a girl, only onc-tbird of tlio
oatato was to go to her and two-thirds to
the mother. The result was, of course,
awaited with an interest even greater than
that usually bestowed upon such rvcntH.
Tho result is, the widow has becomo the
mother of twins—a boy and girl.
