It is perhaps well known (o many ol our readers that a man by the name of Curry, who declares him self to be a prophet, with about fifteen dieciples or followers, settled in Columbia county several months ago, calling their settlement the “Happy Land of Canaan.” A thoroughly reliable gentleman furnishes us with the following information concerning this prophet: Curry was arrested not leug since upon a charge of licentious conduct, end probably but for a strong prejudice agsinst him would have been acquit ted. His course there seems, to have been charac terized by mildness and sterling integrity. A few citizens, however, dstermintd U> hare removed under some pretense, and he accordingly arrested and brought before a Magistrate’s Court, required to give bond for his appearance, charged a heavy btU of setts, finally brought before the Superior Court of the county.

Juvtice Butt yesterday issued a warrant for the ar rest of J. n. King, colored, who was charged on the affidavit of Violet Jones, colored, with the offense of tednetion. King was promptly arrested and at < offered to marry Violet. The offer was accepted im mediately, and the license having been procured, the Justice tied the kn.M matrimonial, and all is well that ends well. Justice Monday committed Primus Jeukius, col ored, to jail in default of $300 bond, under a charge of fornication with a white woman named Maggie Chester. He is apparently 25 years old, and as black as black can be. He was arrested by policeman Bolton. Thraeher for the State; Thompson for de- Pollce Court. The clouds had begun to gather over our loved city, ere yet, his Honor bad reached the Station house yes terday morning, but rain or shine he was bound to come, as Monday is a big day in his court. A gentleman who had a little bill against a druggist first attracted the attention of the court. lie tried to collect his little bill and was not pleaaed with the striking arguments presented by his debtor to insure delay. He was dischared and the man who had not time to settle taken to task. After telling all about it himself he deposited $10 and costs to the credit of the city. Sam Watkins, colored, is troubled with a loud voice and can’t try to collect rent without some con fused policeman thinking that Sam is indulging in a quarrel. These mistakes of the policemen generally cost Sam about $13 50 each. J. S. Bell, Bob Fleming, and other boys, had a regu lar Modoc struggle nearly all over town Sunday even ing. Fleming and Sullivan had taken refnge in the tower of the Catholic Chnrcn, and commenced throw ing rocks down at the balance of mankind, Bell in cluded. One of these stones hit Bell's pet corn, and ne told the boys they were “sons of a gun,” or words to that effect. Afterwards the scene of action was transferred to the car shed, and Sullivan struck the bell with a round rock just to see if it would ring. Sullivan departed hastily just at this time, and Flem- ing^got served like poor Tray in the spelling book. After this Bell took to his heels, and Fleming threw two rocks at him on Pryor street, near the big hotel. There was so much of what Billings calls “humau na ture” in this scrape that his Honor let the youngsters off with a lecture. Lizzie Collier and Carrie Hall (buff), and Ann Scott and Frances Rail (black), all came up to explain a ter rible stew they had been engaged in on ^esterctey. The cleanest word they apoke would disgust th* read ers of the Herald, bo it is only proper to remark that Lizz e was outsworn and had to pay < xpenses- and costs. T. J.

In response to the numerous complaints about the crowding of negroes in the street cars on Sunday, we called upon Colonel George W. Adair and found that h* was already alive to th* annoyances growing out of this question. It ia one which he acknowl edges is very difficult of settlement. We have negroes in the Legislature; we have them In the jury box, and, although Mr. Hill and General (iartrell made the most powerful speeches in their protests against the outrage, we have them in the United States Court. Colonel Adair has decided to put on two extra cars to nan every afternoou, and will do all in his power to satisfy what he considers as reasonable complaint*. An extraordinary waste ot canine sagacity ix shown in • story told by a newspaper in Canaan, New Hampshire. The dog in ques tion is owned by a butcher. A ahost was be ing driven to the alanghter-house the other day, bnt took to a pond and conld not be persuaded to come out. The dilemma was pointed ont to the dog, which swam ronnd piggy and drove him ont on the other side, after pulling him once from under some logs, where the current bad drawn him. bnt dis covering that be had him on the wrung side, the dog took the porker by the ear and drag- gad him to the water, and ferried him safely to the spot where he was wanted Emms Jones, (colored,) convicted at the May Term, 1872, of Fulton Superior Court, of larceny, after trust m that clothing which had been entrusted to her to wash, iron, and return which she did not retnrn nor pay for on demand.

The person entrusted with the clothe* gave her name to the lady a* Dora Robinson, and said she lived in CampbeVs row. evidence except the prisoner’* statement was intro duced for the defense. After conviction s new trial was moved for on two grounds, via: First, Error in charge of th* Court. Second, newly discovered evidence. The newly discovered evidence went to show that there was a woman named Dora Robinson living in Campbell’* row at tbs time of the commission of the offense, and that certain articles of dress which the prosecutor alleged the accused wore at the time she received the clothing ths prisoner never owned or wore, together with seine other Cacti. Th* Court over-ruled the motion, and Hi*cm«wm carried to the Supreme Court where the dscisowof the Court below was affirmed. She was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years. Evidence was submitted to the Governor—part of which was discovered after the motion for a new trial had been made, to the effect that there was a Dora Robinson, between whom and the accused there was such a strong resemblance that itwasdiflicnlt to tell thsm apart, and *he lived la the place specified—these new affidavits to this effect were laid before the Gov ernor, and tbe certificate of Dr. Pinckney that her health was impaired by her confinement In jail, fthe had been in prison ever since her conviction. Evidence of her unexceptional conduct during her Im prisonment and evidence of her previous good charac ter for honesty in tbe shape of affidavits from several persons who had employed her. The length at time she had been in prison—over a year—had some influ ence in determining the action of the Governor. The petition was not numerously signed, but was signed almost exclusively by officers of tbe court and msm bers of tbe bar, nearly all of whom bad heard the trial and believed bar innocant. Edgar H.

Fli nt Baptist Church# Morning service: Sermon by Rev. E. W. Warren. Text: Isaiah, 40th chapter and 3d verae—“Prepare ye the way of the Lord.” John the Baptist believed that ho waa one to whom the prophet referred in the language of tbe text. John was to go before as a herald to announce the coming of Christ and to invite the people to prepare the way for him. It was an ancient eastern custom for a few per ms to precede a distinguished visitor, such as a king : queen, as an introduction to their grand reception. This voice, “prqparq yp the of the Lord” ha* besu sounding down through agss, uriUl the present time, and now it is as incumbent on tbe members of this church to prepare hi* way as it was for John. I announce to yon that Christ is coming—coming with life, light, and the power of salvation. Be ye there fore, ready to receive him. That fact that he is com ing doe* not indicate that he has not beeu here before, or that he is not here now, but that ho is coming in a special sense. This will be a precious visitation. The glory of the Lord will be received—prepare for the rc- oeption of the Holy Ghost. The first question sug- ited is. how shall this way be prepared* The uiftains'eball bD hewn down, the valleys exalted, rougW pisct'S made smooth.

Ho ad mired Miller’s genius, and regretted that snch a man should have become insane. Having finished his sup per, and being interrogated thereto, he stated that he was raised in the State of Massachusetts, received a good education . had entered the Methodist ministry, but that having peculiar and original views in reference to the in terpretation of God’s word be soon stepped outside the church. For this he wee so persecuted in Mates- chusette, he decided to search for a place and a home among strangers and came to this State, but did not persuade his disciples to come with him. He states that in general, his intercourse with the people of Georgia has been pleasant, and that but for the child ish weakness of his followers, (of whom he spoke in pity and sorrow,) his colonization scheme here would have been eminently successful; no one in Georgia could deny that his course here had been marked by strict temperance, honesty, and truthfulness; if it God’s will that he should serve him in prison he was perfectly willing to ; do ao; had no ill feeling to wards any one of his persecutors; has but fourteen disciples left at the “happy land;” has great admiration for the liberal feeling and high moral courage of Geo^ians in general; speaks highly of the kindness and ability of General Robert Toombs* who, he says, possesses the finest intellect in America; appears indifferent as to whether he is pardoned him self, and hopes that all his persecutors will obtain pardon and forgiveness from the Lord; still has the ntmost faith in his religion, and clings to its precepts with the greatest tenacity, apparently. A Curd from Cook & Clin k. Atlanta, Ga., May 19, 1873. To the Editors of the Herald: We notice an'editorikl article in your paper of Sun day morning last, which, in so far as it refers to om business relations with the Western and Atlantic rail road, reqnlres a correction from ns, Injustice, both to the officers of the road and ourselves. We are from wanting any newspaper notoriety—this being the first time we have ever found it necessary to appear in print. In the article in question, after stating that have been “made victims or’ by tbe President of the State road, you say that “both gentlemen are absent from the city at present, bnt as soon as tfcey retnrn, we shall call upon them, if it be necessary* to give to th* public a history of their grievances. Except to complain in private, they have had no other alterna tive than acquiescence,” etc. Your reporter. Dr. H. L. W. Craig, called on oar Cook, at our office, on Saturday last, and at his re quest, Mr. Cook stated to him what our business rela tions with the State Road have been- that these rela tions have never been other than pleasant and satis factory with every administration of the Road, sines the close of the war. That so fsr as the officerc of the Road are concerned, they have sever attempted to wrong us in any way that w6 were aware of, and that when any little irregularity has occurred, (and these have been but few), we have only bad to bring it to the attention of the officers, to have it promptly rected. With the present lessees and officers of the Road, our relations have been entirely pleasant, and we have never complained of them, either in public or in private. Dr. Craig expressed himself gratified to hear this statement; said that be was glad to hear something in favor of the management of the Road, and that he had no animoajty towards Gov. Brown, fttC. As to the difficulty between Gov. Brown and Gen. MacRae, we have nbthing*to do witb it, and win only add that no one regrets it more than we do, and we hope it may be amicably and satisfactorily adjusted. Bespectfully, •Cook A Cheek. (Since it is not our purpose to do injustice, cither the President of th* Western k Atlantic Railroad or to Messrs. Cook k Cheek, we publish the above with pleasure. At the same time, we desire to state that we were informed by responsible gentlemen that Messrs. Cook k Cheek had complained in private of the manner in which they had been treated by the State Road authorities, and that when advised to make the facts public they had declined, on the ground that they dared not rink the destruction of their business by ao doing. Our efforts to obtain the facts were foil ed, Dr. Craig, our representative, reporting that Mr. Cook, senior, had declined furnishing any information, and that iheir manager had requested him to wait until the return of Mr. Cheek from Memphis.—Edn.

A striking illustration of faith in the efficacy of devout and fervent prayer is presented the servant of tho Lord who prayed a long space of time for the conversion of one of his wealthy and ungodly neighbors. Before th* petition Off bis prayer was full^rAibited to him and granted, be had grown to be old and feeble—was borne to the residence of the subject of his prayer, witnessed him as a converted man. and, like Simeon, said: “Now let thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have beheld tho salva tion of tho Lord.’’ Again: How shall this glory of God appear?

In the eveniDg the pastor preached an impressive sermon especially to the unconverted, from the text, “He that being often reproved hardenetli his heart, shall be destroyed, and that without remedy.” He warned the sinner against the folly of postponing the acceptance of Christ, and submitting to the process of hardening, reminding him that “my Spirit'’ shall not always strive with man saith the.

Subject—“The joy of God in the salvation of sin ners Parables of the Lost Steep, the Lost Coin and the Prodigal Sou.” Luke, 15 chapter. “What am I: whence camel: and whither go I?” has beeu the inquiry of the thoughtful iu all ages. Science, philosophy and human reason have in vain essayed an answer. The Bible alone Bolves and sets forever at rest this question. It reveals not only God to man, bnt mao to himself. It alone teaches man what bo has been, what be now is, and wbat he shall hereafter be. The Bible reveals God to ns clothed in our own bvmaatiy, “taking hoM up*u otfe nqtnre.” “God manifest la the flesh. And tho wo id was God.

[8rEciAL Correspondence of the Herald.] At two o'clock on Thursday evening lasts hail storm commenced in tbe region of Hswkinsville, and continued with great force and fnry nntil 5K p. m. The wind came from the north and the storm was tbs most terrific that I ever witnessed. The first •tones that fell were very small, bnt in a short time reached the size of a pigeon’s egg and fell thick and fast. Very soon thereafter they increased to the size of IA inches in circumference, and 9 loch** in length, and weighing from one-half t* one and a fourth pound*. Pate’s store and the bank—all in the raaae building, had twenty-five holes made through the tin roof. Jelk’s new building had the roof so damaged that it will have to be taken off and a new one placed on. One hundred and fifty panes of glass were broken out ou the north side of Lamar k King’s cotton factory, and the roof of the building over the boiler completely riddled. Ducks, geese and pigs were killed* and a man at the factory waa struck with a stone, from th* effect* of which he is now con fined to his room. The average weight of the hail •tooee that fell was about eight ounces. The shape of thee* stones varied, some being like an egg. others like a lemon, etc. From this hall the people of Haw- kiaevlU* are making lcewater to-day, sad many hava enough to last over Sunday. Th* storm hagna a short distance north of this place, traveling southward. These are facts, and can be vouched for by the best men in Georgia. O. J.

Mao Is too poor to offer any reward for tho return of the child, but will bo grateful to anyone returning him to hla honse. Governor Brown states truly that I appealed to him to procure the patronage of the State Road, aa the mill waa ao situated a* to be dependent on the road for patronage, as well as transportation. And he also states truly that I admitted that there had been some poor iron made by the mitt under ttee supervision of John D. Gray and Myself. But the impression sought to be made In his statement, that it was done design edly, is not true, as it could not have been prevented at the rime, there not being a sufficiency of puddling furnaces in ihe mill to furnish the necessary quantity of new iron for the heads of the rails. His state ment, which makes me say that “it had turned out to be bad policy,” is not true, as I made the beat iron for the road that could have been made out of the mate rials I had. Governor Brown states truly that I agreed to pay bod five dollars a ton it tbs iron I rolled did not wear as well as the best English iron, which I still insist is true; and, as an evidence of the truth, Gov. Brown has never made a requisition on me for the $5. And Governor Brown's mortification at the occasional failure of a bar mast have been predicated on his Ig norance of the fact that no human sagacity or precau tion can prevent an occasional defective bar of iron, or detect it after made, which is all the failure that has occurred in his experience, according to his own statement. I did not accuse Governor Broun applying to his own use the difference between the $70 a ton and the value of English iron! but aa be had only paid me $70 a ton under the con tract, aud had reported my iromat the «srod rate of the English iron, I asked (which I think I had a. right to do), what he had done with th* difference; and it occurs to me that he could have stated that my infer formation on this subject was not correct—much easier than he could have construed the inquire into a charge against himself of fiaudufontly appropriating the proceeds, and paraded the misfortune of The loss of my rolling mill books as a charge of corruption against me. No fair-minded wan, knowing the facts, could believe that my books had disappeared by any agency of mine. I am glad that the Governor’s books have been ao well kept, and so fortunately preserved, and that they ao ably exonerate him from all fraud, but what do they say about this difference in the iron?” Governor Brown states truly that he went with me to examine the iron, and that we found some nils prematurely worn; but they were on a part of the track which I suppose had boon subjected to heavier wear than usual. But it is not true that I evaded the query of the 23 per cent. of. ne*t iron.on the heada of the rails, as that amouut had been nut all the rails under our contract, which I am abund antly able to provo. - , . ' It Is not true that I have sought to make more than a legitimate profit out of my iron contracts by re. ducing the quantity of new iron ou the head of the rails, bnt have carried out my contracts faithfully and challenge the State of Georgia to show any iron that wears better from any mill. Governor. Brown very kindly explains why it is that I have ordered a suspension of coal curs. He- says, “four times,” l| have no recollection of but twice, bnt fawdoe* not deny the failure of which I complain, nor does even attempt to show that they were unavoidable, that they were not caused by tbe facts.ariuch I have suggested. He also kindly advises me to keep a stock of iron and coal ahead, for which kind suggestions be has my thanks, but being better acquainted with tbe resources and necessities of the mill than "he possibly be. I only ask au impartial r diatrignition <rf my freights in coal, iron, sand, rock, etc., as my necessi ties demand. And if no unjuet discrimination is made against me no complaint shall meet the public » L/Scofield, , President Rolling Mill. TO NIGHT. There will be a meeting at the Kimball House, where Hon.
