A number of Atlanta Good Templars paid the brethren of Decatur a surprise call on Friday night. A very agreeable time was spent Pestagv IUbpi. Some idee of the letter-writing pro clivities of Atlanta may be formed from the faot that Orion Dozier, on Saturday, sold $90 worth of stamps.

Grant, who resigned tho offico of City Engineer, nt the Council meeting last Friday night, Is one of the wont efficient and thorough-going sun ny- on and Civil Engineers in Georgia.—-, While Up) city will lose his valuable ser vices, tho Georgia Western Railroad, on which he has been appointed Assistant to the Chief Engineer, has scoured a most Yidnubla efleer. He is not aulypractioal and com pc tout in his profession, hut is ooe of tho most industrious and energetic of men, and possessed of a high order of administrative ability. Everything he undertakes will be promptly and well done. Yesterday bis Honor again mounted the tluouu of Justice, and after looking bonovolanUy upon the variegated assem blage before him, fondly gazed upon Johnson; Johnson understood his Hon or's meaning, and straightway called up tho beautiful and accomplished UISS CREAiY ANDBEWN, whose tore was blsek ss the raveu's wing, and whose tongue was iu good running ordei. On Saturday evening Miss Creasy was waiting for her bean. Sbo but not seen him for a week, and the ardoi of her bosom ran high. The hour was growing late, end still Ijotbario was not at the trystling place, ner gcnUo bosom lic- gan to bo filled with grovo apprehen sions lest the idol of her heart bail been foully dealt with. I’erhaps somo envious rival bail wreaked vengeance upon him, and destroyed bis beautifully classic fea tures. Sbo was aroused st length liy a loud noise, and started up like a fawn; she heard footsteps, oh, that they might bo Lothario's; ho was beside her, and lavished kisses upon her ebony lips; and oho was so transported she lookod not into his loco, bat hid her face sway in his bo som and wept for joy. Ho whispered in to her ear, and bid her hope ! Who look ed up, and lo, it was not her sweetheart, but Ed. Frain, a hold benedict, who had thus dared intrude upon her. Bhc spurn- od tho vile wretch, and with a look ot stern indignation, sho showered upon him a torrent ot invective, which caused him to tremble in his brogans. Ho stole awsy in tho darkness of the night; while a po lineman oonveyed Miss Creasy to a place of safety. His Honor felt docply interested, and would fain have lot Miss Creasy off; hut the law wns stern, and left him no resource but 85 and costs. THOMAS BRYANT, a white man, was drunk, disorderly, etc., and hushed up the matter by 810 and costs. jRiinv rowELL, a regular old Undo Tom, was speaking rather loud with “tho ladies,” and was arrested. His Honor lot him off, ns be did not think a loud voice was a violation of tho ordinance. THOMAS SUAW is a new arrival. Ho did not know the proeiso strength of Atlanta whisky, and, consequently drank too much. His Honor assessed him 85 and costs. r. L. UAK'DOLFII was iu somo kind of a muss, tho nature of which oonld not bo clearly established, in consequence of which ho wns dis missed. IIEX III IlAJU-lHI is fully aware of all tho rights anil immu nitias of a man, and is determined that woman Bhall keep hor place. Ha got drunk recently, and want homo. His wife remonstrated, whereupon Henry smacked her ia tlio mouth. Ho wasu't goiug to have n strong-minded woman abont him. His Honor lectured him long and deliberately, tolling tho womnu that she had no right to set np her opin ion in opposition to Hint of hor husband —bo ws* bend of tho concern—ho oonld sny and do what ho pleased, and her duty wnstoolNiy. This statement give* ground to tho suspioion that His Honor has abandoned tho woman's rights party. Col. Busan Anthony will rcecivo this an nouncement with regroto, as she was be ginning to bavo groat hopes of His Honor's labors. Henry was fined 810 costa, when the oourt adjourned. A tnilsw Bit Mention. A In peri, Jewelry Betabllehment. The jewelry establishment of Messrs. Sharp A Floyd, of this city, is one that is in ovary particular a credit to Atlanta. Besides being fitted up in a most bounti ful stylo, it lias in it what is possibly the largest and most extensive stock of dia monds, watches, jewelry and silver ware over brought into tha Statu. Their goods arc all new and of tha very latest styles Their watches represent several of tho moat oaiaimiad manufactories ia Europe aad America ir stock of diamonds is vary large and embraces some stones of rors superiority. Tlteir silver ware is from tha bast menu factories ia tha coun try. Ia abort their eattre establishment is, metropolitan in all its appointments and tally oommensarato with the progress that is being made iu the other depart ments ofitmdn ia Edo city. These gentleman are aho turning thair attention to the manufacturing business. They have workman cmployod who are os skillful as esn be found in the eonnby, and work turned out from their shop com pares favorably with the finest and hand somest brought from the North. They have also an engraver in their employ who is a thorough artist in his line—by for the best we learn over had in Atlanta. They have a complete establishment and in commending it to Perhaps no noma is more familiar to tho ptiblio generally than that of East man's Business Collage. It has long homo the reputation ot being ouo of tho most successful institutions of thu kind iu tho country —ouo that lias uttaiued popularity by tho efficient course of study whjoli it ompluys in tho preparation of young men for uetivo business pursuits. Borne mouths ago I’rof. A. it. Eastman came to this oity for thu purpose of es tablishing a school. Ho procured rooms and went to work nt once, aided by a full and efficiout corps of. assistants. His sohaol is now iu successful operation, aud wo are ghd to know it is succeeding. It lias students in attendance from almost ovary Southern State, and the number is steadily increasing. A few evenings tgo, through tho kind ness of Professors Eastman aad Detwy- ler, we lisd the pleasure of looking through thu institution and were really surprised to fiud it so uxteuiive aud com plots. It is an <Wfii.it business school.— Students aro taught not only the abstract theory of business, but are carried through a ooarsc of actual business trans actions, as real os any that tako place in regular mercantile allairs. Tho same with tho Bankfng business. Tho school, wo are satisfied, is a good one, and entirely worthy ot being patron ized by the people. It is established hero as a permanent thing—it being tho purpose of the gentlemen who have it in ebargo to moke it an institution that will bo an honor to tha community. MHtklai Onintl. On Monday morning ono of our rising young lawyers wns entrusted with the management of a case in which tho par ties were “on tho code." Instead of ad vising his client to a coarse of law, be undertook the part of peace maker, aud sueoeeded in making them friendly with each other. Buch a course as this is no hlc, and ono which but fow lawyers would have followed, and these fow are always sa^ to rise in thoir profession. Mcctliiff Dl(h»OrurgU lil«UA|Hraitd* rat Sotitiy ltuom*. A lwgr number <*f the delegated eu route to the Home Convention, by invi tation of Secretary Lewi*, viaited the rooms of tho Agricultural Society l&fit night for a general talk and conversation. It wu* Hiiggented that a meeting bo or ganized by calling Vico President to tho chair. Col. Capers suggested that Col. Bteadman be .requested to entertain the meeting with a speech, which Col 8. declined to do in a felicitous manner, on the ground that ho had his gun loaded for the great Convention at Home. This put the beer on Col. Capers, who likes a speech, even if lie 1ms to make it himself. And a good speech ho made—far better than that letter to the ex-0ovemor of Idaho. Dy the unanimous call of the meeting, Col. Duller was called out. He set out by saying that “Col. Capers’ speech hod made them «iek!” At this point wo naturally looked around to through which window or door the pistols aud coffee were to come. Hut us (Jol. B. got warmed up into a magnificent effort, ho explained by saying ho felt sick be cause ho was fearful ho could not make as godd a speech os CoL Capers. These speeches were all right- good, hard sense talk; but as soon os Col. Butler closed, and Dr. Means was vociferously culled for, we have not the least doubt but that every muu in the house who had spoken, or who expected to speak, felt deathly sick; us everybody knew that Dr. Means would say good things—make & talk that would lay in the shade everything that hod been said, or could bo said. And they were not mistaken. Ho held the mooting spell-bound for fifteon or twenty minutes, and sat down amid thunders of applause. Other good speeches were made, and a pleasant time generally was tho result of tho meeting last night. Tlic Urorgla llallroatl. Wo very cheerfully lay before our reml- ers the caret of Major Hillycr this morn- ing. The Major seems to ilcsiro in gooil faith that tho Georgia Rood renew its subscrip tion to tho Georgia Western. Wo hopo its Directory will come np to tho work with a liberal hand—so characteristic of its conduct in the enterprises ho narnos, in days post. It is certainly very greatly to tho interest of tho Georgia to havolho road built without dolay, and to bo hear tily united pecuniarily in tho enterprise. Major H. assures us positively, of his owu personal knowledge, that there is no hostility to the enterprise, entertsinod on tho part of the Directory of the Geor gia Road, as somo persons in Atlan ta have feared was tho case; and that whether they renow their sub scription or not, they will certainly not use any influeuco against the construction of tho road or its interests. Wo trust this is true. Why that particular step was taken (giving uotico to tho City Council) and iu tho way and under the circumstances it wns, did soom inoxplioa- blo to ns. Tho Major assures ns that nothing was intended hostile to the road Wo trust this is so. Wo have a very highly important com mnnioatiou on this subject from one of onr most prominent and influential oiti zens, which wo will endeavor to lay before onr readers to-morrow. Man Dronnul In W>»t l£n<l. Alock Bcrnbordo, at Orthey A Rlchtor’i Brewery, went into tho pond to swim n pair of horses on Sunday morning. Ho swam anil washed ono successfully, and then carriod in tho other, whon ha be came entangled with the horso in somo way. It is supposed the horse hart him The horse got loose and camo out, leaving him iu tho pond. Ho struggled awhile aud tlion sank. Several persons, mostly women aud children, collected, but oonld do nothing to savo him. Just at that time Dr. H. B. Hill, who resides on Walker street, liuppoued to be walking out for a morning stroll in the woods, nud was attracted by tho excitement. Learn iug thu matter, ho removed his clothing nud dived into tho water where mud aud bloody water was seen to rise from the struggling and injured man. Ho dived and hunted n number of times, but fail ed to find 1dm, and then got a small bout and dragged for him, but still he failed. Ho then drew off the pond till it could be waded in, and waded carefully back aud forth till he found the body and brought it out. He and Dr. J. P. Sowell did all they could to restore him. Somo symptoms of vitality were manifested. Ho vomited tho contents of his stomach, which were bloody, andonoo made aeon vnlsivo motion with his jaws and kit Dr. Hill's Auger, but could not be restored lUrriwarc. Tho hardware business of Atlanta it one that is increasing overy year. There is no reason why Atlnutn should not con trol ns large a trade in the hardware line as in groceries; and wo are pleased to note the fact that our hardware mcrchauts are increasing their facilities, and prepar ing for a very heavy fall trado. W. L. Wadsworth & Oo. nro prepared to servo the trade with anything in their lino on as favorable terms as any Southern city can afford. Headquarters for Dry Goods are at tho Loudon Store. It is truo that tho stock of goods there is large and well soloctod; and it is a fact that thoy nro sold at the lowest margin of profits. Ladies exam ine for yoursclvos. TUB DIBTIUCT COURT. Th.

Germania Loan and Building Assoc ia- [ tion meets to-night. OOMMEIHOIAIj FINANCIAL ABU COXWtRClAL. (‘FEice of Atlanta. Daily Sun, l Atlanta, August 7, 1871. 1 REMARKS. The week ending to-day, has been oue of good commercial activity, and remark able, for tho very even demand for arti- olcs with which a good market is usually stocked. Wkilo the wholesale business is not as heavy os it wns iu our last its to mcat, yet it has been steady, and not al together without its excitements. In our statement of last week we noted a de cline in flour of 25c. Last Thursday n still further decline of 25c. took place, making in one week a decline of GOc. per bbl. This reduction has l*eon caused by the great quantity of flour which is at present thrown on the Western market. As tho wheat crop for tho present year has been very abundant, it is to be pre sumed that flour will not advance again in price during tbe season, but that, on the contrary, it is qnitc likely a farther decline may take place. Corn has been abundant, aud tho demand quite active, wbilo prioes lmvo declined to 95c. by tho car-load. A month ago it woald bring 81.05—showing s downward tendency. Tho increased quantity grown by onr planters, added to the plonteous crop of tho Wost, will, no doubt, compell fur ther reductions in price. By this, the good offocts of growing <ii home tho ne cessaries of life will bo soen. Planters need not buy breadstnfls at exorbitant prices, and will thus be equal parties to all transactions, instead of being as here tofore, liko travelers in tho hands of highwaymen, compelled to "disgorge” or tako what they got. Tho bread ques tion is ono of thu most important before tho pcoplo, and the remody is in their bonds. Cotton is weaker and reduced ((54} cent. We bavo no idea, however, tknt any decline will oontinuc, as all these temporary variations are causod by cot ton gambling in New York, with a view to influencing thu Southern markets. Let our people raise their own bread stuff) and then they will bo enabled to Roll their cotton at their own convenience, and at satisfactory prices. Tho city is still flooded with water melons, and if there is any decrease in the supply it is not visiblo to us. Every morning, the Georgia railroad sends in its quota, and tho melons aro speedily gobbled up, Tho ice market, of course, is cold; but a reduction of i cent has been caused by tho grit of onr new ice company, and it now sells nt lie. Considerable activity has been exhibited in monetary matters, though quotations have boon very regu lar. Real estate is inactive, and holders hold off for better prices. REMARKS FOR DAY. Business to-day opened with unusual briskness, and tho clerks on Whitehall were well occupied. A more than usual activity was manifested in dry goods. Country produce lias boen freely offered. Meats arc in greater demand than for any day lost week ; while prices have been remarkably stiff. Tho great ad vantage of Atlanta as a wholesale market is being gradually recognized by country dealers, and overy day wo meet Btrango customers in town who express their de termination to do their trading hero for tho future. It is Boldom that any one, who has onco dono business with onr merchants, goes elsewhere for supplies which cun ho obtained hero; and as there aro duily men establishing thomselvcs in now lines of business hero, thoro will soon bo scarcely anything which may not be found here, of os good quality and at prices as reasonable as clsowhcro. stocks and bonds.

Tho trouble is that people generally read nothing but their own party papers; aud many ot rhese mis represent facts aud falsify history per sistently, nnd tho people read and swallow it all without examine the matter for themselves, aud without much thought or reflection any way. Especially is this truo of young men. Ho far as my knowledge extends, there is not one iu ten that can give an in telligent reason for his political faith. But I am making my letter longer than I intended. My principal ob ject in writing was to subscribe for your weekly paper. I enclose three dollars for that purpose.
