Hinnend to their special attcn
.ae admirable address of our new
.iayor, Capt A. Nelson. How appropri
ate it was to the ocoassion, we shall not
attempt to show. But few within the
limits of the City will be found who will
not applaud the positions assumed by the
Mayor, and who, when they take into
consideration the circumstances attending
the first meeting of the Council, will not
commend the calmness and dignity dis
played by him on the occasion. It is just
such a man, Atlanta should have for its
Chief Officer. We may now hope to see
energy displayed in the management of
our city affairs, which the times demand,
and which the growing interests of our
city imperatively call for.
OR. A. MEANS.
A few days since, we took occasion to
remark upon the conduct of the gentleman
whose name stands above, in consequence
of the discontinuance, by him, of the 44 Ex
aminer ’’ We did so because of tire time
and manner of the discontinuance, and
not because of the simple act which every
one ha» the perfect right to exercise, to
stop our paper whenever he feels so dis
posed. We had, however, just emerged
from a heated contest, and felt sore that
the conscientious part wo acted in it, should
be visited upon us by an old and esteemed
friend, in the manner it was —hence our
remarks before alluded to Since then,
we have received a note from Doctor, in
which he informs us that he had not or
dered the discontinuance of his paj er, and
that it was contrary to his wishes. At
this, we were much ratified. We had
long been one of Dr. Means admirers and
friends. We had long been taught to re
spect, and venerate that body of Christians,
among whom he shines so bright an orna
ment, and whose example as a man and
Christian, we felt worthy of imitation.
Placed at tl o head of an Institution, cher
; . ished by so large a number of our readers,
and who entertain sentiments similar to
our own, we made use of the language we
did, both on their, and our account. No
thing affords us more pleasure now, than
to find we were deceived in the matter, and
that the act of stopping our paper, was not
the act of Dr. Means The high estimate
which we always placed upon that gentle
man we are gratified is not impaired, but
increased, and that it may continue to in
crease is one of our fondest hopes.
FROM WASHINGTON I

Washington, Jan. 22, 1865.
All hail, Atlanta! Yt ur name ahalllive
for ever in the grateful recollection of the
American democracy. The traitors who
thought to tarnish the fair thine of your
young and prosperous city have been sig
nally rebuked, and the motley crew who
execute the mandates of the infamous Ned
Buntline, in the dead of night, and in the
dark recoases of some inaccessible garret
are justly held up to tl e scorn and con
tempt of the honest portion of your patri
otic citizens. What will bo tho moral ef
fect of this victory, not only throughout
Georgia, but in other States, no one can i
estimate T You have proved that the se
cret order is not invincible—that very 1
fact will nerve other communities and
States in similar contests, and with “ At
lanta” inscribed mi their bauners, in let
ters of gold, will lead them on to success.
aud victory. Virginia is waking up; her;
invincible democracy are preparing for a
severe struggle with the Bundinites,back
ed ns they are by foreign mercenaries—
political hacks from other States, and the
pecuniary aims whi.4l are pouring in from
the different Io Iges at the North Still,
with these odds against them, the tuiterri
tied democracy of Virginia neither shrink
from the contest, nor fear its results
It is rumurid, aud I am inclined to
think truly, that Judge Sommers has de
dim'd the nomination for Governor, tcn-i
tiered him by the Buntlioitef. an the
ground that he could not accept a nomi
nation for any office at tho hands of his
political friemis unless it were publicly
made, and publicly tendered The conse- 1
<]uvnceis, they have tendered the honor to
Mr. Strother,Governor Smith’s predecessor
in Congress, by whom, it is understood, it
has been accepted. Mr. Strother's name will
be kept in the dark until u few days of the

.< will rush to the standard of
/. emancipation, and unless the Gov
.nment adopt speedy and active measures
to vindicate our flag, and protect our citi
zens in that quarter, you need not be sur
prised to hear within six months from this
time, that the Cuban Patriots, backed by i
10,000 Americans, have raised the stand- i
ard of revolution, and nobly won their In
dependence. It is now a question pure
ly between American diplomacy and Ame
rican Fillibusterism if you choose so to
call it. Which ever gets the start will
win the victory. The question of annex
ation will then come up, and will prove to
be one of the most popular questions ever
presented to the South, if we except the;
Know-Nothings, who will oppose it be-1
cause the Cubans are Catholics ? Perhaps, !
however, Ned Buntline, the High Priest i
of the order may hit upon some compro
mise, and dispose of this difficulty. It:
would be a work worthy of that gentle- I
man’s exalted and well tried patriotism,
and would considerably increase the obli
gations under which he has placed a grate
ful country. BRUTUS.

City Hall, Atlanta, )
January 19, 1855. ) ;
After the final adjournment of the for- j
mer Mayor and Council, Ex-Mayor Butt;
conducted Allison Nelson. Mayor elect, to
the chair, where he was duly qualified in-!
to office by Chief Justice T. L. Thomas.
I His Honor, tho Mayor, then qualified
I into office John Glenn, W. W. Baldwin
'John Farrar, John W. Thompson, C. H '
[Strong Win. Barnes, U. L. Wright, Tho
i mas Kile and C. Powell, members of!
' Council elect. T. M. Darnall, member
iof Council elect was not qualified into
office, b dng unavoidnbly absent.
t His Honor, the Mayor, then arose and ;
; addressed the Board of Council in the fol-
lowing appropriate manner:
J “Gentlemen of the Council :
44 In entering
upon the discharge of the duties we have
been called, by the suffrages of our fellow
' citizens to perfbrm. permit me to make
i a few ' emarks and t» invoke your aid
aud support in the position that has been
assigned to me.
“Aware that a proper discharge of duty
j with an eve single to the best interests of
, the city, n the on’v return I can make for;
the honor conferred upon, and the confi
dence reposedin me, 1 cannot but express
’ the ardent hope, that, in al! my efforts
tending to that end, I may have your uni-*
i ted co-opcratkm. In the absence cf this •
’ all efforts o r mine will prove, comparative
ly, of no avail.
“Y’our attention, gentlemen. I will now
call to an important duty that devolves
upon this Council, in its first attempt to'
serve the city. I allude to the selection
1 of those officers provided for by onr char- 1
I ter, and upon whom duties of the most re
sponsible character rest. We cannot in
this be too careful in guarding against
personal feelings and predilections, but
should, by the strictest scrutiny, be satis
fied that the recipients of office at our
hands are men commanding not only the
esteem and confidence of those who placed
us here, but that they are men capable and
honest. If in any selections we should
make, we should unfortunately err, then
our duty is plain—to apply the proper cor
rective at the earliest possible period. In
I this, I have every confidence we shall be
united.
i 44 1 t cannot'be expected, and neither is
it proper, that I shall, at this time, call
your attention to the many important sub
! jects that deeply concern our young but
rising city, but will venture, briefly, to re
-1 fer to three of them ; our city finances ;
the removal of the Capital of the
State ; and the fire department.
‘‘The first named should be the first to
command our attention. Nevlect, or mis
management of the means raised from the
people, is certain evidence of incapacity.
The people scarcely ,ever murmur at the
burdens of taxation if they see that their
money is properly applied; but when the
contrary appears to be the case, murmur
they will, and are justified in so doing: —
With an eye to this, let us at the earliest
practicable period look into and investi
gate the past, and provide for the fu
ture.
“The question of the removal of the
I Capitol will soon be upon us, and it
behooves us to look well to our city’s in
terests in the contest we shall have with
sister and rival cities. To rely upon the
acknowledged advantages Atlanta pres
ents over her rivals would be imprudent.
1 Private interests as well as sectional jeal
ousies are involved in this matter, and we
must early prepare to resist all such in
fluences as far as in our power it lies. Were
the public good alone to be consulted,
and that alone pressed upon the consider
ation of the people, at each and every
quarter, we might, with safety, leave the
subject to the people and the press. But
it is a duty we owe those we represent, to
see that our city is not misrepresented,
that its claims are fairly presented; and
hence this question should be one of grave
consideration, from time to time, by this
body.
“Os vital importance to the city is a
properly and efficiently organised Fire
Department. But recently our citizens
have had demonstrated unto them the ne
cessity for and utility of fire companies.
We have witnessed what one gallant corps
has done, and while giving to it all the
; encouragement we can, an effort to pro
i mote the organization of others we should
not fail to make. The destruction of pro
perty by fire should be guarded against at
every cost. In your action upon this sub
ject, I need not say that “a penny wise
and a pound foolish” policy should be
banished from this Council, and that one
of a contrary character should prevail.
“In conclusion, gentlemen, I take
; pleasure in saying, that in your energy,
I integrity and wisdom, I have the highest
; confidence. At all times, as the chief
I officer, I shall endeavor to be found dili
( gent and prompt in carrying out your
measures tending to promote the varied
i interests of the city. While we may not
be able to give satisfaction to all, and
while we may err, yet, governed by recti
tude of purpose, let us do what we can
do to promote good government, avoiding
parsimony on the one Land and extrava
gance on the other.
“I now propose, gentlemen, that we
j proceed to business.”
The following resolution was offered by
Aiderman Baldwin and carried:
Reso’ved, That the address delivered
j by the Mayor be entered upon the records
;of this Council, and that a copy of the
same be furnished to each of the news
papers in this city for publication.
