The Pacific Insurance Company of Ban Francisoo having removed M. C. Blandlord of Atlanta, from the position — agent to make insurance against fire, and having demnmled return of the urittenpowr usually given Agents, which ilnnaud has been refused, hereby gives notice, Ac.” The facts iu this case, are simply os follows: The Pacific Insurance Compa ny decided, without having given me any previous notice of thoir intention to remove their agency from my hands to Mr. L. B. Davis, assigning at the same time tho following reasons: that as Mr. Davis hail been removed from tho agen cy of the London, Liverpool and Globe Insurance Company, they bad reasons to expect, by placing tho company in his hands, to ohteiu the business which Ur. Davis hail heretofore given to said Lon don, Liverpool and Globe Insurance Company. At their requost I delivered to them ult their books and papers tlicu in my possession. I refused to give up my commissiou for tho following reason, which I stated to them, at the time: bupposc u loss should occur under a Policy of Insurance iu thut Company, with my name to said Policy as Agent; and tho Company should boo proper to deny any authority to issue said policy of Insurance, I preferred to retain my com mission in my own possession, that I might establish my authority by tlic same, instead of having to noly upou tho honor of tho-Company.

The attention of thut body is earnestly called to an offensive stench which arises from the oorner of Hunter and Pryor streets. This is tho place where the myriuds of martins which are scon every evening, go to roost, and tho noise and other nuisances created by them is very objeotionablo to the entire neighborhood. If this thing is passed by unnoticed any longer, it may create a disease which may be difficult to eradicate. THE STATE ROAD INVESTIGATION. Auditor IUtv likisi Is Boand Ovtr to Ap pear Before, the Superior C ourt. All day yesterday was consumed in the argument beforo Judge Butt, of the caso of the State against N. P. Hotchkiss, former Auditor of the State Hoad, and charged with cheating and defrauding the Htate out of a considerable amount of money. The evidence entire was given in our yesterday’s issue, and as we say, the Court was occupied in hearing the argtmants. Capt. E. P. Howell and CoL Bleckley made very side und telling speeches in behalf of the prostration, while Gen. Gartrell and Burton Thrasher were elo quent in the defence. The diseuaHion develoi>ed no new points. It is evident that the biggest kind of thieving has been going on, and tliat these preliminary trials are merely break ing the ice os it were for a future dive. The more the mUtter is stirred, the louder it smells, and we dare say that before this investigation is over with, men will lie implicated in this far-famed State robbery who were never suspected. It has certainly thus far developed he most flagrant and downright robbery ever perpetrated upon an honest folk. Men, whom everybody was willing to believe were honest, and who were far from even meddling with such a thing os robbery bus exposed, are proven to be rascals of the first water. This is emphatically an instance where thieves have fallen out, and,we are satis- fled if honest folks don’t come by their dues in the matter tliat they will see how a great many men, who have heretofore passed as honest and respectable, have been guilty of the worst kind of thieving. The further the investigation proceeds tho deeper we can see into the villainy o# this State Hood business; and we predict that when these old thieves and cheats are forced into duylight that they will bring to tlic surface with them a host of minor culprits whom the world knows nothing of at present, but whose appear ance will cause just indignation among the more honest and rcspectablo jjortion of tlic people whom they have thus fla grantly and systematically robbed. Auditor Hotchkiss was first allowed bail in the sum of 86,000, but as this seemed to }>c too large it was reduced to $2,000, with the verbal understanding that he would be immediately arrested upon another and similar charge. The latter arrest was mode, and the Auditor, waiving all examination, was bound over in a similar sum to appear at tho Superior Court at its October Term. KILLING A NEGRO. The Coroner’* Inquest, and the verdict of the Jury. Allay or two since, iu Augusta, t young lady, with two young gentlemen, walking down tho street. The young lady was carrying in her hand a piece of a parasol liaudlo, or some tiling similar, aad in a coquettish manner was striking first ono of the beaux aud then tho other. Btnoge enough ono of tho young gentle men had a loose pistol cartridge in his root pocket, aud in striking him the switch came in contort with the cartridge, which exploded, aud the bull struck her just above the knee joint, inflicting a se rious wound. 7 ho doctors think the leg ay here to oome off.

A Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune furnishes an anecdote of Lorenzo Dow, which is new and good.

A remarkable story comes, or pnrport, to come, from Paris, through the corn-s- pondenoe of the Bt. Louis Republican. It is of a count who, while living, dwelt in a mansion in the Qnartier Ht. Germain, bat who was killed daring the bombard ment On visiting his residence a gem darmo stepped into a closet on the upper floor, and at once found himsolf rapidly descending aad finally safely landed m a dungeon on the grouud floor. The wiuilows of this room wero built up with brick, aud the door leading iuto an alley from the outside into a suite of rooms, while the real entrance from the alley wan through a swinging door cut in the solid masonry, and skilfnlly ooneealed from view. This room had ostensibly been used by the Count os a place for storing old furnitura, but on sounding its walls a large and deep closet waa found iu whien were tools, implements, and appa ratus of various sorts, including surgical instrument*, jars of chloroform, narcotics, and so on; also a powerful battery. Here wai found a manuscript which purported to be the Count's record of experiments in ga'vonism and electricity, made liy himself daring several years. It is well known that for the past four years it has been his habit to deliver lectures on such subjects before learned gooieties, one of which, entitled “The Mechanism of Life,” procured for him ■ confidential in terview with the Emperor. The manu script shows that it was the system of the Conut to invite people to liis house on one pretext or another, and then kill anil experiment with them, most of his ex periments being mode with a view to re storing suspended animation. California’s latest ourioaity is a rooster with two sets of legs, one on liis hack. - When he is weary of standing on his nat ural position, it is gravely asserted, lie turns a somersault and walks off upside down, and when he takes a drink he im mediately turns over so os to swallow it the more easily. But it is in a free fight that heshows to greatest advantage. For he is a terrible fighter, and, when thus diverting himself, looks like s re volving wheel, turning somersaults in cessantly, and kicking in every direction.

This is tho Marquis of Lothian, lately deceased, of whom tho London Times says: “liis work on ‘Italian History aud Art in the Middle Ages,’ written almost without any books of reference, in the year 1SC3, w hen his disease was fast creeping over every limb, bears witness to the great stores of his memory and to his power of philo sophical analysis. Buck as ho was, it is a small thing to say of him that he carried off the highest honors of the University. Ho died in his thirty-ninth year."
