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. _ Mayor*! Court. J. G.

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.

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: Wlu-roM, Tlutt iu thu juJsniout of thu.

Dunlap Scott, of Floyd county, passed through tho city yosterday en route to Athens. He has recently been elected a Trustee of tho State University, and is on his way to attend tho meeting of tho Trustees and tho commencement exercises. Mr. Scott was accompanied by Mr. Henry W. Grady, who goes to Athens to visit his Alma Mater. Mr. Ora' dy is well known as tho editor of that sprightly paper, tho Romo Commercial— He says there is but one “Now Depar ture” Democrat in Rome. This seems to show that the Commercial is an efficient educator of the 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.” Cases to be decided In the Supi'rme Court In onlcr, July Term, 1871.

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.

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.

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.

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.
