FINANCIAL AND CONNXRCIAL.

Atlanta, July 29, 1871. (
FINANCIAL.
There was a decline in Railroad and
City Bonds and Stocks Saturday. Money
is tight, and transactions were compara
tively unimportant. Tho Bolls and Bears
seem to bo taking a temporary rest before
plunging into some heavy transactions.
Holders are unwilling to invest, except on
terms to which dealers cannot agree*
Atlanta 7s, whioh were quoted Friday at
73 buying, 70 selling, havo declined 1
cent, owing, prolinbly, to the report of
the City Council Financial Oommittoo
that 72 cents was a fair valuation. It
eertuiuly would ho strange if tho Council
was itself tho occasion of the decreased
valuation of their own bonds, and demon
strutes tho wisdom of silence on their

fixed by the regular operations of com

The KlTVct* of Benzine and Und Nuture
—A Notorlou* Individual on the Stage
Once More.
Another of those bloody doods for
which Atlauta is becoming too mueli no
ted, oeourrod on Saturday evening. Two
men, McMahon uud liagluu, liavo been
working together, aud were not in the
best of humor with eooh other. During
the morning they lmd a fuss, and, incon
sequence, Judge Johnson required Mc
Mahon to give bond for bis good beha
vior. McMahon, wo loam, did not re
turn to bis work until ovouing, about fonr
o'clock. As lie approached tbo placo
whore Raglan was standing, tho latter
eommoncotl some violent gestures. Mo
Mahon called out to him that he did not
want to fight, and wanted to be lctnlone
Raglan advanced toward McMahon, when
the latter fired at him. Raglan still con
tinued to advance, when McMahon fired
at him again. At this point Marshal
Johnson rodo up aud arrested McMahon.
Dr. Crawford took chargo of Ruglau; but
ho is in a dangerous condition, one of the
balls passing through his groin. It is au
ugly wound.
MoMahon, we hoar, has been iu such
scrapes before, and is altogether a dan-
gerous character. Ho bas bcon ordered
in custody to await tho result of Raglan’s
wound. _

Dor Motto—“Forward”
On Saturdsy evening, pursuant to pre
vious call, a largo and enthusiastic meet
ing of business men was held in the Rink
Building, for tho purpose of organizing
a Board of Trade. Tbo meeting was
opened by the calling of Col. Lowry to

Wr have in view looking to organization of
Hoard of Trade or Chamber of Commerce. It may
neliclal effect* of «noh
boards in other cities. Louisville, Cincinnati, or
even Havanuak. Look at fit. Louis. We are daily
beset with trouble with Hailroad Companies, in de-
lay in settling charges, etc. A Board of Trade
assist materially in rectifying these matters. If
man goes, he is frequently treated with ludiffor<
But tho representative of a Board of Trade would bo
treated with respect. You might regulate the ine
quality between wholesale aud retail sales, besides a
variety of other matters. Let ua organize, organize.
I will ofler a preamble aud resolution, after which I
call on others to address their views:
Whereas, It is the balief of those present that the
prosperity of our city requires a permanent organi
zation of a Chamber of Commerce, let us have a har*
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce; all the merchants,
manufacturers, bankers, aud other business mon of
Atlanta be doclared members of tho Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce, upon the issue of certillcates of mem
bership by the President, after a Constitution and
By-laws had been roported by a committee to be ap
pointed to-night.
MR. N0RCK0S8
advocated tbo prompt establishment of
a Chamber of Commerce. I agree with
Mr. Cooper. The great matter of im
portance dow is the question of freights,
Atlanta has grown up in spite of discrim
iuution against her, which proves that
Atlauta is in tho right place ; there is a
strong influence against her which it is ne-
oossary to counteract. Atlanta is largo
enough to speak with effect to tho
railroads and other parties, and when
properly expressed it will be heard, when
it is expressed through a Chamber of
Oommcrco, which will bo effective. Lot
it bo a Chamber of Commerce. Wo
must bo heard one way or another; wo
can be heard through tho press ; wo can
speak to railroads. A late movement, I
mean the lease of tho Macon and West
eru Railroad, which I {am sorry to say is
almost fatal to Macon, which I sympa-
tize with. Wo must bo awake and watch
various combinations that may bo made.
Let us have an organization to speak
authoritatively for us. Let ns prove to
the world that Atlanta is, and must be, a
largo * internal commercial r city. We
ought to havo a regular daily meeting.
Let it bo free fora while, and when once
established then a fee may be required.
Thero are other important matters, may
bo nttemlcd to, arbitrations, etc., thus
avoiding law suits. Tho Western trade
is now, and must continue to be so ; we
must attend to our interests in this mat
ter.
Mr. Seago moved the adoption of the
resolution, whioh was carried.
A committee of seven, as follows:—
Messrs. M. E. Cooper, R. M. Rose, A.
K. Seago, 8. S. Langston, J. S. Oliver,
A. Leyden and Col. Fits, was appointed
to preparo constitution and by-laws.
The Chairman was added by a vote.
A voto of thanks, for uso of Hull, was
tendered Mr. Carr.
The meeting adjourned, pursuant to
the following resolution :
Resolved, That when tho meeting ad-
jours, it adjourns to meet again, next
Monday night week, at tho City Hall
Firemen** Meeting.
Tho Firemen of Atlanta had a meeting
at tbo Hall of No. 1, ou Saturday uigbt,
Chief Borkell in tho chair, to take into
consideration tho Into decision of tho
Supreme Court regarding oxomptiou
from jury duty. After much discussion
tho following resolutions were passed:

CHURCH REVIEW.
nittf BAFTIST CHURCH—REV. E. W. WARREN,
PASTOR.
ACCOUNTABILITY.
Text—So then every one us of shall give
1 account of himself to Clod. Romans
14:12.
God is tho Governor of tho universe.
There can bo no government without
laws to encourage what is right and for
bid what is wrong, with penalties annex
ed to their violation. God holds each
individual accountable for his conduct.
“Account.” Two definitions of this
word seem appropriate. 1. Narrative.
“He gave us an account of the affair.”
2. Reasons Jhr.— U He accounted for his
seemingly strange conduct, uud we all
felt he was justifiable.”
To “give account to God” «s to tell what
toe did, and trhy tee did it.
As God’s reign is moral, and extends to
all the “interests of the heart,” as well as
“the deeds of the body,” tho account giv
en must include all of life, whether in
thought, feeling, word, or action.
A few things may be mentioned:
1. Money—Money is honor. The Is
raelites worshipped u calf, because it waa
gold. Tho world would worship a tree
if its fruits wero silver, or a river if it ran
with smelted jewels.
Money is power. It “answereth all
things.” The Pharisees could not arrest
the Savior till the traitor was reached by
money. Alexander opened the gates of
powerful cities by tho introduction of
gold.
For tho uso of our money, whether
much or little, wo “shall give account to
God.”
2. Talents—God gives to ono ten tal
ents, to auother five, and to another only
one. Tho accountability will be in pro
portion to the gifts—where much is giv
en, much will be required. Tho law goy
erning the use of talents, is that which is
of force in tho caso of Trusts reposed;
which are to be improved in interests of
the Giver! “Trade with them till I
come.”
It is not tho amount of talent ono has
that leads to happiness, but it is tho
proper ttsc made of it. “She hath done
what she could,” is tho highest commen
dation.
3. Time. Tho fig treo was allowed three
years to reach its maturity and bear fruit.
Every day of that time wus necessary.—
Tho period allowed was just long enough,
but uot ono day to spare. Tho ono year
added through mercy was a period of
fearful responsibility. “Time is life’s
freightage, with which somo becomo en
riched, but which moulds iu the hands
of others.” Life’s book, from which
some learn the lessons of wisdom, but
which the thoughtless never open; life’-
tree, from which the wise gather the
sweetest fruits, but under whose shade
tho vicious and idle sleep to wake no
more; life’s ladder, upon which the good
ascend to exalted heights of purity and
felicity, but down which tho frivolous aud
wicked descend to darkness and woe.”—
The law governing the use of time is,
“Roast not thyself of to-morrow, for thou
knowest not what a day my bring forth.”
“Now is tho accepted time.”
4. Privileges. “Through Divine good
ness wo possess the glorious Gospel,” the
“Word of Life,” tho hope of heaven,
•‘the throne of grace,” the Holy Com
forter and the love of Jesus. The law
of love is obedience. “If ye love me keep
my commandments.” Wo must give nc
count if we violate this law of obedience.
WHERE SHALL THIS ACCOUNT BE REN
DERED ?
Not here—not in time—but when tho
Son of Man shall come in His glory, and
all thejholy angels with Him.” What a
congregation before whom we must tell
all onr evil deeds!
WHO WILL GIVE ACCOUNT ?
“ Every one of us.” “ Tho dead, small
and great.” “Tho kings of tho earth,
aud the great men, and the rich men,
and the chief captains, aud tho mighty
men, and evory bond man aud every free
man.”
What a development of the sad histo
ry of sin ! Tho concealed iniquities—
the startling confessions 1 The unmask
ed hypocrite—tho known debauchee
the blood-stained murderer—the monoy-
loviug idolater—tho excuseless procras
tinator—tho gay and frivolous lover of
worldly pleasure.
WHAT OUGHT WE NOW TO DO ?
“Let the wicked forsake his wav, anil
tho ungodly liis thoughts ”—“and seek
the Lord while Ho may bo found, aud
coll on Him while He is near.”

Now, while business is dull, is tho time
for young men to prepare themselves for
actual business transactions iu book-keep
ing, commercial calculations, Ac. When
the busy season comes, and business men
want help, those who are qualified by a
course of training in theory aro better fit
ed for giving assistance than those who
are not, and will moro readily command
situations and wages.
Having said this much, we ask atten
tion to the advertisement of Prof. Moore.

An Address to the Baptists of
Georgia.
It will be remembered by all, that dur
ing the last convention of our denom
ination at Cartersvillc, it was resolved to
inaugurate a movemont looking to the
foundation and endowment of a Georgia
Baptist Orphans’ Home, at some suitable
place, and with sufficient means to pro
vide for the well-being, education and
setting forward for the business life, of
such number of iudigent orphan chil
dren of the State, os our means should
justify our giving home, and the oppor
tunities of religion, physical and intel
lectual training to. The undersigned
were charged with initiating and giving
form to this generous charity, sought to
be put in motion by tho Baptists of
Georgia.
Pursuant to the charge thus imposed,
wo have met ami completed for present
purposes, an organization with which you
have been made acquainted through tho
columns of the Index and Baptist.
We have added to tho number of
the original Board of Manager,
wo have thought it within the scope
of our powers to do, Brothren Rev.
Sylvanus Lauudrum, of Savannah,
J. J. Slade, Esq., of Coiambus, and Mor-
decai Edwards, of Ogletborpo county,
and liavo located the principal office for
the discharge of tho business of our board
iu tho city of Atlauta.
We have little doubt that looking to
the healthfulness of a desired location,
and its easy accessibility, this city is tho
best point which could be selected for
the central operations of the purpose in
tended to be served. We have adopted
a constitution for tho government of our
board and business, with a view to a
large field of operations, to an extended
endowment, and a generous support from
tho Baptists of Georgia.
Tho Georgia Baptist Orphans’ Homo is
intended to be, in very truth, what its
name imports, a homo wliero the iudi
gent orphan, without reference to sec
tarian limits, shall recoivo a welcome,
find a home, bo cared for, bo given re
ligious, physical and intellectual culture
suited to the wants of practical life, and
those moro exalted aims which look be
yond tho cares of to-day, to that better
aud purer world where want and suffer
ing aro unknown ; where there aro no
houseless, friendless little ones, mul
where tho orphan’s cry is not heard.
Our organization consists of C. Peoples,
President; Louis G. Crawford, Secretary;
Juo. II. James, Treasurer. Prudential
Committee: C. Peeples, Rev. W. T.
Brantly, Rov. E. W. Warren, J. H.
James, A. K. Seago—all of Atlauta.
It is our purpose to secure, by dona
tion or purchase, a considerable body of
land on or near to one of tho railroad
lines centering here. Above this city, or
near it, wo are inclined to think tho best
location for the Home could be had.—
Somo offers of land aud improvements
have been already made to us as a dona
tion ; and we aro satisfied that tho gene
rosity of the kind-hearted will leave us
nothing to do in tho way of a location
upon a body of land large enough for the
wants of the homo, but tho duty of do
ciding between offers.
Feeliug confident of success in the
good purpose thus inaugurated, from the
prospects wo have so far encouraged
our labors, which have ventured to select,
as our general agent and active canvasser
for an endowment, Rev. R. W. Fuller,
who will soou enter upon the active du
ties of tho agency. Of brother Fuller,
who is well .known to Georgia Bap
tists, ns well as to the general public, lit
tle need be said. Ho will enter upon the
work with all tho zeal and with all tho
ardor of a heart deeply impressed with
the sacred burden of the chargo commit
ted to his hands, and with an humble
trust that the orphans’ God will sustain
him and tho Board in this good work,
and raise up frionds to this noble charity,
throughout the length and breadth of the
land.
And now, brothren, wo send him forth
accredited with tho purest of purposes
upon a most exalted mission, to plead the
cause of God’s poor in tho house und
land of God’s people. Who can, who
will feel justified iu refusing our call!
Who can deny our plea or reject our mos
senger ? We havo but littlo funds now
on hand, uud want the means for build
ing and setting in order a home for our
chargo before tho chilling winds of win
ter come, to make lone tho field and for
est, and pinch tho luckleas child of want.
Lot all who cau do so, forward at once
what they can afford to our treasurer,
John H. James, Atlauta. Ga.
We have appointed brethren 0. Peoples
and J. H. James to advertise and rocoivo
propositions for a suitable body of laud
and improvements for tho home.

New Orleans Going Ahead.
We are pleased to note that the
great Southern emporium, New Or
leans, has bridged the disasters by war
uud the elements, and is again on the
high road to prosperity. The adver
tising columns of her daily newspa
pers show that such is her conva
lescence, if nothing else bore testimo
ny to the pleasing iuct. But we learn
through the Times of that city that
the improvements—public buildings
and private buildings—now in pro
gress are estimated to cost $2,385,000.
Among them are, a masonic temple
to cost $250,000; a Hebrew temple,
$125,000; Hibernia Hall, $200,000;
Varieties Theater,$125,000; the Or
leans Dramatic Relief Association
Theater, $00,000; St Louis Hotel,
$00,000; three other hotels, $75,000;
four churches, $225,000; twenty-
seven stores, $347,000, aud fifty-live

LETTER FROM OGLE
THORPE.
New Yobk, July 25, 1871.
Editors Sun : Most heartily in
terested in all that relates to the ed
ucation of our people, I have visited
and examined the publishing house
of the University Publishing Com
pany, with which our distinguished
townsman, Gen. Gordon, is so prom
inently connected. Its warerooms
are spacious and convenient—well
selected and arranged for business.
They are publishing text hooks for
schools und Colleges by sueli men as
Commodore Maury—now President
elect of the University of an adja
cent sister State, aud Professor
Holmes Venable, Gildcrslecve De
Verc, Carter, Le Conte Johnston,
&c., &c.
These books are intended for use
in the South—not because they con
tain Southern ideas—-which they do
not; hut because they are free from
the sectional views which have, and
do abound in the school books here
tofore used in the South.
TIIE QllEAT GOLD MART.
The business of the Gold Exchange
consists of Wbying and selling gold.
These purchases and sales spring di
rectly from tho foreign trade of tho
country. Every transaction between
this country and any other termi
nates in the Gold Room.
When goods are imported, the mer
chants come here to buy gold, with
which to pay duties, or to transmit to
their foreign creditors. Every bale
of cotton and every bond, shipped
abroad, are represented here by a cor
responding sale of gold. It is tho
great mart whore gold and currency
are continually interchanged; all tho
imports being represented by the con
version of currency into gold, and all
the exports by the conversion of gold
into currency.
It is of the utmost importance to the
commerce of the country that there
should be a place where this can be
done instantly and publicly.
Of course there is, in addition to
these mercantile demands, a large
speculation in gold, but this specula
tion is not so great as that in cotton
or railroad shares, or United States
bonds, or real estate. Wherever there
is trade, there is speculation.' It arises
from tho nature of men. When one
in the way of trade buys any proper 1
ty, lie does so with the nope of profit;
the larger and quicker the profit the
greater the inducement to buy. This
is speculation, uud is only a bolder
and more rapid method of trading.
Speculation is confounded in the
public mind with gambling, but it
differs from it essentially. Specu
lation deals iu values ; gambling does
not. Speculation is based upon legal
contract; gambling is not.
The Rev. Thos. A. Iloyt, who is
the presiding officer of the Gold
Board, is a Georgian and has au es
tablished reputation for learning, tal
ent, patriotism and piety. Ho is an
exceedingly commanding and popu
lar officer and enjoys the fullest con
fidence of all classes. He was drifted
into this position by the cross-cur
rents of the war, anil it is his purpose
to relinquish his present position and
resume his appropriate work so soon
as the proper arrangements can be
made. lie is a subscriber to The
Atlanta Sun and regards it ns the
ablest Democratic paper in the Union,
under the leadership of that distin
guished patriot anil statesman, Hon.
A. II. Stephens. Ilia favorable rep
resentation of the paper is inducing
other members of tlie Board to sub
scribe for it. Copies of it are every
morning found on the President's,
desk.
TIIE GRAND CENTRAL,
for Southerners, is the hotel jxir ex
cellence of Now York city. Its mag
nitude, the perfection oS its appoint
ments, its central location, the supe
riority of its cuisine and many home
comforts are appreciated by traveling
Southrons.
The property was purchased by a
wealthy merchant of the city at about
$850,000, and the present edifice
erected in the course of two years,
being completed and opened lastytar.
It has about 800 rooms aud can ac
commodate 1,500 guests. It lias a
total floor space of 350,000 square
feet, far exceeding the area of any
other hotel in existence. It is eight
stories in height, exclusive of base
ment and sub-basement. The car
petings alone are said to cover tile
space of seven acres. The front of
the building is of marble surmounted
by a handsome Mansard roof crowned
with three domes. Altogether it is,
doubtless, the largest hotel in tho
world, aud its genial proprietor, Mr.
H. L. Powers, is makiug it a great
success. Oglethorpe.

warm evenings.
The cholera is reported to be raging
terribly in Persia. The pestilence has

it may be hoped that it owes its ori

desolate a year later tho homes of
