We ask special attention to the notice of E. B. Walker, Esq., Master of Trans portation of the Western & Atlantic Bail- road, in this morning’s paper, announc ing a very important change in a single schedule, which will greatly accommo date the travelling public. Palace sloeping cars—those indispensa ble luxuries of tho traveler—will go through to New York—making only one change ; and will make the wholo trip from here in forty-nine hours and forty- nine minutes ! Who can beat that ? See also the change of tho Sunday train from Dalton. Reunion of Hi. 7tb Georgia Regiment. A few oj the members of the 7th Geor gia Bcgimcnt Infantry, with Gen. G. T. Anderson, their old Brigadier, had a re union at Pease’s restaurant on the 21st, the anniversary of tho first battle of Ma nassas, in which that regiment took a conspicuous part. The members present were Majors H. H. Witt and John F. Kiser, Capt. Wm. Norman, Commissary, Orderly Sergeant Samuel Hope, of Co. B. , Leonard Powell, of Co. E, Captain C. K. Maddox and Lieutenants W. L. Hubbard and Samuel B. Hoylo, of Co. K. Thero are many members of the regiment in the city, but tho haste with which this day’s reunion was gotten up prevented their being invited. Goncral Gartrell, their first Colonel, was invited, but professional engagements provonted his presence. Several hours were qtassed in re calling the inoidens of the war in which they each had taken a part, many of them amusing, many sod, and all of them interesting. Tenderly they spoke of their fallen Colonel, William T. Wilson, who fell at tho second Manassas. He was the favorite of the regiment, and never will they forget his cheery shouts and words of encouragement to "my boys,” as they and ho were reeking the thickest of tho fights. He is now asleep in tho Atlanta cemetery. No one’s loss and abscnco from tho reunion wus regret ted more. Sergeant Hape drank to tho memo-y of Maj. Eli Hoyle, who was promoted from Private to Adjutant for beiug tho first Confederate to mouut tho guns of Pick ets’ Battery in position nt tho first battlo of Manasass. He was soon afterwards elected Major, aud fell mortally wound 1 at Malvern Hill. ‘‘There was no braver soldier than he, nor a more perfect gen tleman. Ho scorned ’everything mean and low." Lieut. Sam’l B. Hoyle drank to the memory of tho dead of the old brigade. “They lived freemen, they fought free men, and died freemen.” The whole brigado will bo invited to attend the reunion next year, and overy anniversary afterwards, as long as any of the brigade survive. To aocomplish this and mako the necessary preparations, the following Committee was appointed: Col. E. F. Huge, 9th Go.; Capt. Mor row, 11th Go.; Col. Magitl and Capt. An derson, 1st Ga. Begulars; Maj. H. H. Hitt and Sergeant S. Hapo, 7th Ga ; CoL J. B. Lowndos and Capt It T. Fouche, 8th Ga.; and Col. Jack Brown, of the 59th Ga. General G. T. Anderson w«s elected Chairman, and Copt. C. K. Maddox, Secretary of the Committee. It is in tended to keep on record the muster rolls of eaoh company, showing all tho chan ges that took place among the members, and any memory or ovent connected with the history of the brigade, that any mem ber may reduce to writing uod present to tho Secretary; aud the members are re quested to prepare such papeis to bo read at the next meeting. General Amlctson then drauk to the 7th Ga Begimcnt. "You were in all in thirty-seven engagements, in thirty-five of which I commanded you. Yon were often called on and never found want ing." t They then adjourned to the next anni versary on July 21, 1872. (Home, Macon and Savannah papers pleaao copy or notice.) BIAYOU’S COURT—SATURDAY. Old John Barleycorn U Tram pi. The few cases before this Court Satur day were disposed of in short order, the Mayor infiioting the fines and sparing the lecture. It will be noticed that ho has got a fivo dollar fever, and is disposed to lot them off a little eaaier than common ly. The first caso was that of TWO OLD TITOS, who have had a "foul case” on the docket for the whole week. A little beer last Snnday was at the bottom of the "mat ter.” One knocked the other's hat into ’pi,” when he gave "chare" and returned the compliment. A policeman took a “stand,” and soon had both "forms” “looked up.” The “edition” was "work ed off” Satnrday morningj'and when the Mayor measured up their “dupes” it amounted to just tho costs in the case.— Thus they both “made even,” snd were released. n. s. WHITE plead guilty to being drunk, disorderly and publio indecency. For all of these it was impossible for his Honor to a' > anything but the old 810 and costs. JO SAND EES had been taking too much tangle leg, and it made him rather boisterous. When aoeused ho owned up, end was lot off with 85 and costs, without the usual lec ture. Cheap. j. w. HAYNES hod also been indulging rather freely.— Seeing how his companion in trouble bad come out, be plead guilty, and got the same dose. DAVID BBANTLEX lived in another part of the town, bnt got equally as drank, and added some profanity to it. He had forgotten that he cursed, and plead guilty to the charge. But the bad words used were worth 85 and the drank fivo. The cost will ran it up to about five more. FEBBY CABDBN was arraigned for discharging fire arms. Tho prosecution hod four or fivo wit nesses to testify, every ono of whom swore they knew nothing of it. Dis charged. HAHVZI O’SBIELDS was arrested for tho same thing, and the 8amo witnesses were re-sworn. They were as utterly ignorant of H.’sfiriuga pistol as a man in tho moon could be.— The Court thought something strange of this, aud conld not tell what it meant.— He was compelled to discharge him too. UKUROIA SUPRKMK COURT. Cuscs to bo decided In the Supreme Court, In order, July Term, INTI. A NARROW ESCAPE. On Saturday morning as the driver of the mail wagon was returning frim delivering the mail bags to tho trains, his wagon was oaught by a train ol oars backing to make a connection. Before he was aware of his peril, his wagon was being fearful ly crushed and jammed. Ho leaped from his seat just in time to save himself.— Tho force of the train carried the two no. bio black bones attached to the wagon along with them, and bnt for their great strength, and we might add, presenoe of mind, in kicking and breaking loose from the wreck, they might possibly have been crashed also. As it was, only one of them was hart, and that insufficient to disable him. These horses belong to Fire Company No. 1, and are among the moat sagacious animals we ever saw. Even after getting loose from the wagon, they made no at tempt to ran, bnt qnietly waited for or ders, and did not display half the tremor visible in several of the bystanders. CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

A few days ago wo gavo au account of the doings of the storm king in and around Forsyth, and mentioned the de molition at that placo of the fine now church steeple. On the day following, a man by the name of Cmigler, who form erly lived in this city, in company with ono or two other workmen, went upon the roof of the chnrcli for tho purpose of examining tho dnmngo done by tho falling steeple. Whilo moving about the root the workmen got upon a portion that had the appearance of being sub stantial enough tot their weights, but which proved to be treuchreous, and gave way, precipitating them to tho ground. In the fall Mr. Craigler was severely bruised and mangled, and at present lies in a very critical condition. The other men escaped with comparatively littlo in- jnry. The wounded man was at one* * taken to the residence of that large-hearted Christina gentleman, Mr. W. L. Lamp- kin, where every attention and oomfort was bestowed that could in any way re lieve his grout sufferings. Hopes are entertninod of his recovery.

July 21-3* _ Tilt New Schedule. In our notice of tho new sleeping oar sohedole to the North, of Saturday morn ing, the timo was given as seven hours faster than any oilier line, it should havo said about three and a baU hours faster. This correction is due to othor lines, who are fixing up competing schedules. For some time a gentleman connected with the press work of one of our morn ing papers has been missing various little articles from his pocket, such as cigars, tobacco, &c., and could not aooount for their disappearance. Sunday morning he oonclnded to watch (as well as pray,) and as was his custom, after the paper had been worked off, and'forms washed, and things generally quieted down about tho press room, he lay down for a little snooze. His ooat was left hanging in its accustomed place, and in the pockets were a lot of cigars, a Colt's repeater, handkeroliief, Ac. Pretty soon he saw a negro boy enter and proceed to rifle the pockets of their oontents. Just os be had finished, tho gentleman sprang np, seized the robber and called for the polioe, upon the arrival of which, be was marched off to the calaboose. TRa Lata Races at GrlSIa. In onr notice Saturday of the races at Griffin, we called upon the Atlanta hoys to cease ‘‘mouthing, pay upandgoslow." This was given upon the information that they had rather "jockied” the Grif fin boys oat of the stakes; but since then we have been informed by one of the principal parties interested that, owing to the Atlanta horse getting his foot cut with the halter, it lamed him so that he was on three feet, and consequently not able to make the race, and tho forfeit of $100 was paid by the Atlanta crowd.— They say that the backers of the Grifin horse claimed the whole stakes, and oven side-bets, contrary to any procodont on the turf record. This Atlanta would not agree to, honco the report of booking down. ICRg-Straordinaryl Lloyd, of tho Neu Era, sung tho big- st “lay" of a Cochin in his paper of Saturday, over perpetrated. He had been presented with an egg by one of his friends which measured eight inches tho long way and six inches in ciroamference, and said his friend had three hens whioh frequently laid eggs measuring sixteen inches, and some even eighty-seven I— Now at the time we read the paragraph, wo at once thought of egg-nogg, and won dered where LL could have made a raise” at this season. So on Sunday he rises to explain,” and, as usual, pats it on tho poor printer. But even the state ment he makes then of the truth of the size of the eggs makes the hair rise. Just one egg of that size on tho half-shell would be sufficient for the boarders.— Oor'e, don’t eggs-haust yourself in that w *y- , NON-EXPLOSIVE I A Narrow Eirapt from tin Banting of a Coal-Oil Lamp 1 On Saturday evening a lamp was burn ing in an upper room of tbs residence of Mr. Tuttwiler.onFair street, and by some accident the oil ignited, and almost im mediately the house wus on fire. By tho timely arrival of some workmen at the foundry of Messrs. Porter A Butlor, with the assistance of several neighbors tho fire was extinguished without the alarm reaching the fire department. It was a very narrow escape from destruc tion, as the flames had bunted ont in several places in the roof before it was quenched. Of uourse the oil was of the non-explosive kind, and perfectly harm less (?) ( All Hands la th. Nan OiHce Return thanks to Mr. 0. J. Kicklightcr, on Whitehall street, for a large pitoher full of fresh sweet eider, made of good, delicious apples Charlie is clever. His treat was hugely enjoyed by everybody in the Sum office. MAD DOGS. A Fatal Casa of Hydraph.bla. Some ten days sinoe a large baU dog, owned by Mr. Willis Venable, of this oity, gave unmistakable signs of that ter rible diseaso, hydrophobia. The dog was at once killed; not, however, before he had bitten a calf belonging to Mr. V., which was in the same yard with the dog. On Saturday Mr. Venable noticed that his call was strangely afflicted, its, hair all ruffled, its cyoa green, and performing til kinds of strange feats and bleating terribly. This lasted lor some time, when the animst died. This is the first ease we havo heard of, and will doubtless cause a closer watch upon dogs. Should the disease spread it is hardly possible for til to eeeepe, while so large a number of worthless curs infest tho city. Will Atlanta Dave a Fair Next Fall. This question is asked almost every day, and the answer seems as far off now as it was three months ago. Borne, Dalton, and many other small places, are far ad vanced with their preparations for Fairs thiu full, yet Atlanta holds back with a sluggishness that is entirely worthy her reputation for spirit aud enterprise. It is kuown that an Agricultural and Indus trial Society was organized, on thu stock company plan, some weeks ago. A per centum of the stock has boen called and paid in. Thus the matter hangs. No premium list is in sight, and no prepara tion for a Fair is now beard of. Whore fault is it? It is hintod that the delay is occasioned by some hitch between tho City Goancil and Mr. H. L Kimball, relativo to the payment of the grounds. Bnt this need not he so. Whether Mr. Kimball or tho oity controls Oglethorpe Park, it can be prooored for the purposo of holding a Fair ; hence the society need not delay on that acooant. There can be no differ- enoe whether the company obtains the use of the Park from the one or tho other. The Fair oan go on all the samo and be made a most intereating one if the stock holders manifest the right interest in it. U the purpose of the sooiety is to have a Fair this fall, it is high time some prac tical demonstration were made. U not, let the publio be re informed, aud lot no more bo said about A MURDEROUS ATTEMPT. A l*ollrenai i Shot and Badly Wounded by a Negro. Shall (he Police be Protected In the Die* charge of their Daty f There can be no efficient execution of tho municipal laws, and no safe protec tion to peace and property of tho peo ple, unless the police are protected in the discharge of their duty. Law beoomes worthless, becomes obsolete, unless it bo faithfully executed. If thero is a law npon the city statute book that ought not to be executed, or one that is illegal be eause of its oonflict with other and high- er laws, it should bo stricken off at once, that tho polioe may not bo subjected to any risks while executing what ho con ceives to be the law. These remarks are oalled forth by the fact that more than once lately polioe- men have been banled up before Jnstioes’ Court, and subjected to an action for false imprisonment A day or two ago a cir cnmstanco occurred os follows : One of the most efficient policemen in the oity found a dog npon tho street without tho legal badge. Tho dog was impounded and, not being claimed within the re- qaired time, was killed. The owner of tho dog, thereupon commenced suit against tho policeman for tho recovery of 8100.00 damages. It is needless to say that the prosecution of tho claim failed to recover anything. He cluims to havo entered the suit under legut advice, tho lawyer having nssnrcd him that ho Bhould not tio at any expenso even though ho lost tho caso. After the caso had gone against him, the bill for costs was pre sented. This he took to tho lawyer and asked him to pay it; which of course the '‘disciple" declined to do, notwith standing the complainant called to mind the previous promise made by his logoi adviser. This kind of procedure is calculated to embarass policemen, and render them less efficient and zealous. There seems to be but ono way to preventing tho re currence of such instances and that is for lawyers .to absolutely and persistently refuse to prosecute such cases. The claims are illegal—if the low is legal— and if there ore any lawyers in the city whoso practioe is in suoh a precarious condition as to drive them to this dan gerous system of pettifogging as the only means of obtaining a fee, they had better abandon the law and go at something else in whioh their fine talents would bo ap preciated more highly. This article is,written in the kindos tof spirits, its ulterior object beine to check an evil which is subversive of the effi ciency of tho police. To have a good po lice they must be left to look after the interests of the city and arrest offenders unembarrassed by tho apprehension that they are likely to bo held accounta ble for their acts at tho bor of some Jus tice of the Poaco. Hereafter, all sneh cases, os are alluded to above, will bo reported in The Sun, to gether with the names of tho prosocuting attorneys. J. I. Oliver At Co.

On Saturday morning a man by the name of Wm. Butler, who was employed by Mr. George Eddlcmiu to deliver ioe in the city from his agency, went out on Ms rounds as usual, bnt up to this tim c he has failed to return. He ia reported to have gono to Rome, and it might bo a good tiling for the Roman police to look out for him. He fobbed about 815 for his employer. Saturday night our police went to his house, in the neighborhood of tho Bolling Mills, but ho managed to elude thorn, and they suppoee he got aboard the train at another station. No description given of his personal appenranoe, but it would he a eafe thing to arrest him if bo has tho least favor of his grest cousin B. F. about him. Saturday morning, abont daylight, Policeman Dixon met a negro on Line street, with a bag on his shoulder. He asked what it contained, and at the same time put his hand on tho bag. Tho ne gro dropped his load, drew a repeater aud shot Dixon in tho mouth, knocking out several tcoth, tho ball coming out at the cheek. Tho officer was nut so badly wounded but that ho was able to fire several shots at the thief os he ran down tho street. On examination of tho bag, thero was iu it two 20 pound caddies of tobacco, whioh he had stolen from tho store of Mr. Dunn, on Broad street. Officer Hinton pursued the nogro on horseback and headed him off on Calhoun street, coming np very close to him.— Tho villain took deliberato aim at this policeman and firing two shots, then jumping over a fence, made good his es- cape, with a parting phoot or two from Hinton's pistol. This negro watt the notorious Webster Tompkins, whoso many feats of raseality and villainy have made him familiar with tho prisons of this oity. He several years since broke into the store of P. P. Pease A Co., on Alabama street, for whioh he was arrested, but never triod. Ho wus captured in Knoxvi'le and brought to this oily in irons at ono timu, bnt oaeaped from tho offioor in oliargo after getting to the depot in this city. He camo near killing another negro with an axe some timo ago, for whioh he was arrested, bat was nover tried. He it was who burglariously entered the store of R. M. Bore A Co., lost winter, and carried off a considerable quantity of goods. Not two weeks ago he was or ruignod before the Mayor in this oity for striking with a trowel and severely cutting the head of another negro. Tho police are certain that he was ono of the bur glars who assaulted Walter Maffitt lost Snnday night, and now ho turns up Sat urday morning with two boxes of Btolen tobacco, and shoots all tho policemou who attempt to arrest him. Ho is a very bright mulatto; would pass for a white man, and is a plasterer by trade. Ho has a very innocent, inof fensive look, and no ono casually looking at him would think ho was capable of such a list of crimes. He is on old foo of tho police. They havo arrested him time and again, and turned him over to tho State author ities for trial, all of whioh ho evades, aud an interesting question with them, as well as tho pnbHo generally. Why is he not tried and punished for somo of his many criminal acts? Pollcomon express them selves as disgusted with arresting this vil lain and ranuing tho risk of losing their lives, and perhaps tho next day ho is on tho streets with his liberty. Thoy cannot see into it, and would liko for tho proper authorities to explain this matter. They notiee that when one of their force ia compelled to knock.down such rascals as this very Tompkins is, in order to arrest him, thoy are ret upon by pettifoggers, and aro hauled np befote a magistrate charged with assault and battery, assault with intent to murder, and so on. Policemen hero havo very poor encour agement in tho performance of their du ties iu this respect, and unless there is a change for tho hotter wo fear the servi ces of efficient men on that force will bo difficult to procure. Alabama Picnic—Half Fair roc V lsltorc. A lottor from Presidont Ponniugton of tho East Alabama and Cincinnati Rail road says: “Tho Commissioners for the inspection of Railroads having been in vited to examine our first section of twenty miles on Wednesday, July 26th, propose an Excursion from Opelika to Buffalo Wallow on that occasion ; and yon are respectfu'ly solicited to bo pre sent. Tho Westorn Railroad will chargo but half faro, and all invited gnesta will bo passed over our Road free.” THE STOIIM KING. Terrible mow—Hall and Llglilnlug. Btruck the water guttering over tho door next to tho Exchange, mnahing it in and unjointing the sections. Another piece, still higher up, split the facing in a window aud narrowly missing a largo French glass pane. The street at this point was literally piled up with the debris. Tho police at one© removed it so os to lr tve it iu a passuble condition. An express wagon standing on Mail'd ta btree't was blown over and rolled upon tho sidewalk, in a dilapidated condition. Tho storm appeared to be more set ere in this neighborhood than iu any other, bnt all the streets were more or li strewn with pieces of awnings, signs and broken glass. Wo understand, but do not vouoh for its truth, that a house was blown down on Fair Street, aud a man killed. Also, that another was demolished on Wash ington Street At a late hour last night wo had no confirmation of theso reports. It being Sunday ovening, and a short time before ill appearanoe, and a great many people were out on the streets, most of thorn having their windows up. The rain came np ao suddenly that many had not time to get baok, and consequently great damage waa done to a large amount of private property. Thero may other and more sorions damage, whioh the lateness of the honr prevents it being made known in this issue. It was the most severe storm Atlanta has witnessed in several years, and we hopo it may bo longer before another one like it passes this way. LITER—A MAN AND WOMAN INJURED. About 12 o'olock, last night, we learned from Lieutenant Qaeen, of the polioe, that the house on Washington street which was blown down, waa ooonpied by a Mr. Ogletree, his wife and ohild, who were in the house during the storm. It was a small framed building unsealed.— Mr. Ogletree and bis wife were ittrj severely injured, but to what extent ia not known. The lady waa in a delicate condition, and it ia feared the acoident will prove fatal. A gentleman extrioated the child, abont eighteen! months old, from the rubbish, and it was found unhurt Other policemen who had been moving around sinoe tho storm, report that in its track was great destruction, but fortu nately its width was small. A passenger on tho 10 o'clock Macon train know nothing of it till ho reached the oity, which gives tho hope that its extent in that direction was very limited. HORRIBLE nAlLHOAD ACCIDENT. Dr. Iifwlv J, Dupree Dreadfully Man- fled. As the regular night freight train on the Macon A Western Railroad was com ing up .Saturday night, a dreadful acci dent occurred, about midnight, one mile below Bear Crock. It seems that Dr. Lewis J. Dupree was lying npon the track and waa not discovered in time to pre vent the ongino from running over him. One of his feet was out off, bis legs were broken in several plaees, the pilot struck him in tho bock, dislocating his spine, his shoulder was fearfully crushed, his jawbone wes broken|and all of his teeth knooked out. As soon os the train could be cheeked it was run book to where the body waa lying. He was picked np, pnt on the train and bronght to Bear Creek. When first pioked np bo was able to talka little, but was speochlen when the train arrived at tho station, Ha waa left on the plat form at Bear Creek, in oharge of his fam ily and friends and the train came on, after a delay of nearly two hours. Dr. Dupree is a farmer and has a wife and two children. He comes of a good family, ia well eduoated, stands well in his community and his death will be de plored by bis many friends. It is al most certain that ho is dead before this time as it is impossible for one so man gled as he was, to sutvive longer than a few hours at most. We got tho above information from Mr. B. Shiver, a train hand who was on the train at the time, and also Mr. Thoe. E. Sharp, of this oity. GRIFFIN. sidored a sober, reliable man. He ltafas a wife and children, and a large number of friends to mourn bis death.

There have recently been good sea loos in this section.

About 6 o’olock yostcrJay evening a dark and threatening oloud was observed in an enstcrly direction, and low mut tering thunder, with frequent flashes of lightning, told too plainly that a storm was [lending. Soon tho wind came whist ling and twisting np tho streets in gusts, raising thick clouds of dust, whioh for awhile enveloped the city. At this time tho sun had not been obscured, and was shining brightly from tho west, throwing a strange, lurid glare upon the sceno.— The wind and dust were intolerable, and those who were out on tho streets were forced to take the] nearest protection which was offered. Then bunt a terrific peal of thunder, instantly followed by huge drops of rain, which lasted for a few moments, when hail began to pitilessly pelt the city with stones large enough to break window glasses. Tho wind in the meantime was increasing in fury with every gust— Then it was that it raged in all its mag nificent grandeur.
