The picnic excursion of the Sunday School of the First Baptist Church to New nan will leave the passen ger depot on Saturday morning, the 24th Inst., at 7:30 o’clock, arriving at Newnan at 9:42; leaving Newnan on return at 4 r. u., arriving in the city at 6:12. Tickets can he procured of Phillips & Crews, J. J. Ac S. P. Richards, Radwine k Fox, Tenable k Collier, and John J. McDaniels. The public are cordially invited to join them, aa ar rangements have been made to render the picnic a success. Toe Governors' Ball. The Atlanta press might he charged with a lack of enterprise in making such short mention in yesterday’s papers of the Governors’ ball, which came off at the Kimball House on Wednesday, the 21st. It certainly area the most brilliant and successful entertainment ever given in Atlanta; and if no extended mention of it waa made in Thursday’s issue it was because the re porters and editors were all so much entranced by the elegance of the feast and the beauty of the ladies and the excitement of the dance, as to render it impossi ble to tear away. Five times did this reporter deter mine to leave, and each time he would return to take one more look at the beautiful fair ones from Tennes see, Virginia and Georgia, until resolution failed him, and he said, let the plagued Hebaxji come out without the ball. I can’t write it. He tried to impress the services of a very handsome, fair-haired, young man who formerly wrote up these ball matters with great skill. but he replied. “Colonel, you must excuse me; lam very sorry, but I have an engagement to dance with one of the moet charming creatures you ever saw.’* The re ply was, “ Where ie she from ? ” and without waiting for an answer, we rattled on, “ My dear sir, you have not seen Miss B. from Tennessee, Miss H. from Nor folk, Miss 1. B. from Macon, or yon would not say There wae a very large number present, and if we bad any fault to find, it was the crowded state of the floor, which rendered it difficult to move around the r **21. Dancing to fine moaic was kept up until ten o ..lock, when supper was announced. Daring the in tervals of the evening, hundreds passed through the )orge dining hall of the Kimball, to survey the beauti ful and artistic arrangement of the feast Mr. Bel li* aria, to whose genius the arrangement and prepare Uou of this part of the entertainment ia due, surpassed himself on this occasion. The tasteful and elegant arrangement of the mammoth cake, the abundance of everything, all tend to make Atlanta proud that Colonel Nicholls should have in his ploy one so well calculated to do the honors of the city. The toilettes weie simply magnificent. We well know the fearful extravagance to which dressing ia being carried by the fair aex of to-day, bnt we really ware not prepared for such elaborate and costly gar ments as were worn by the ladies at this ball. We wondered as we gazed upon the organdie and tulle and point lace, brocade silks and moire antiques, whether all that we dally bear about the poverty of the Sonth ia true, and It waa hard to reconcile, until we remembered how persuasive the dear creatures can be, sod how it might happen that a man would bankrupt his household rather than let his wife or daughter appear at a ball dressed in anything bot a Paris dress. This reporter is not enough of the Jenkins to know much about the material of which dresses are made, and therefore he will not undertake a description of any except one or two. which were furnished him by hie wife, who seemed to know more about th^se mat ten. “What a magnificent woman that is! Who is she?” “My dear air. don’t yon know her? She ia the ele gant and accomplished Miss Katie B., from Tennessee, who came here under the charge of Governor John C. Brown. How splendid, and what a toilette!” Not knowing hardly what our informant meant, we re quested her to give it to us, and here it is as wen as we can remember it; A beautiful Parisian yellow tulle over a silk skirt, en trail*; trimmed with tea roses and pansies; whits satin slippers; a tall, ma jestic woman, a brunette., with large, lustrous eyas— fascinattng,;beautiful and srracefuL This we get from a lady, and wa know it must be true, for when one woman speaks so extravagantly of another her charms between Mr. BA Clair-Abrams, one < this paper, and Colonel Gary W. Styles, the editor of the Albany News. AN OLD-TIME DISAGREEMENT. It will be remembered by many of oar citizens that daring a convention held In *72, which nominated Governor Jaaaas M. Smith, Colonel John C. Nicholls and Colonel Styles had a personal rencontre in the Convention, and were separated by friends. Mr. St. Clair-Abrams waa at that time correspondent of the Savannah Advertiser, and telegraphed to his paper his version of the affair. Colonel Styles teok violent ex ceptions to his report, and published an advertise ment in the Constitution, denouncing the writer of it in emphatic terms. Mr. St Clair-Abrams replied in equally harsh language, but nothing serious cams of this disagreement. THERE WAS NO FURTHER OOMMUlCID AXIOM between these gentlemen until day before yesterday. In the meantime, it frequently came to the ears of Mr. St. Clair-Abrams’ partners that CoL Styles had said to several parties that Mr. SC Clair-Abrams had negro blood in his veins—the report differing in de tails in almost every case, but the main insinuations being always the same. From at least half a dozen different parties this report came, and yet his partners kept it quiet, in the hope that it would die oat, theft it was simply an accidental misap prehension. At any rate, they avoided anything that would stir up such a desperate broil as must ensue when the knowledge of this thing came to Mr. SC Clair-Abrams. The late discussion between Gover nor Brown *nd the Hnuu> revived these rumors and put them again in circulation. They were bruited about until they became very offensive, and a gentle man remarking to a crowd, in the presence of one of the Herald staff, that there was a terrible article in one of the offices of this city in proof, and merely waited a provoking opportunity to be published; and that this article alluded to a newspaper man of At lanta. From certain indications presuming pretty certs inly that this article contained this offensive allu sion, deemed it proper to inform Mr- St- Clair-Abrams. OF THE STATE OF AFFAIRS. As soon as Mr. St Clair-Abrams received the infor mation, he was, of course, terribly angered, and started at once to seek Colonel Styles. By persuasion of friends, he was induced to sit down, quietly, and address Colonel 8. the following note, which was car ried to Colonel S. by Colonel Alston: Atlanta, May 20, 1873. Cart W. Stiles: But—It has come to my knowledge from a reliable source that you have pnt ia circulation a report that I have negro blood in my veins. I desire to know whether ot not my information is correct. An immediate and unequivocal reply ia instantly deman ded. I am, sir, Alex. 8t. Clair-Abrams. When Colonel Alston presented the note. Colonel S, exhibited much excitement, and said to Colonel A. “Yon ought not to have brought me this note. 1 recognize you as a gentleman; Mr. SL Clair-Abrams I do not, and cannot, bold communication with him.” Colonel A. then said to him, “If this ia yoar final & nswer, prepare to die or to kill Mr. St. Clair-Abrams.” Colonel S. then became still more excited, and said he would write a reply. Colonel A. told him to send it up, as he would have no more to do with it; that he must correspond directly with Mr. A., as he had only brought the note to him for the purpose of knowing that he had received it The moment Colonel A. got back and informed Mr. A. of what had occurred, Mr. A. decided to wait half hour for a reply, and the reply not coming in that time, he purchased a double-barrelled gun and pro ceeded to seek Colonel 8., determined to wipe out in blood this unprovoked and wanton insult. He had the gun loaded ct Heinz’s store, and pro ceeded toward the Kimball House with it slung by his side. He caught sight of Colonel Styles standing in the middle of the street, and drew his gnu down at once for the purpoee of firing upon him, when Mayor Hammock and a {policeman seized him, disarmed him, and carried him off under arrest Shortly after this occurred, DR. ANDREWS, OF THE WASHINGTON GVZETTE, entered the Herald office with the following note from Colonel Styles, saying, “I am Instructed by Colonel Styles to hand yon this note to read, and to return to me, it not being intended to Mr. St Clair- Abrams:” (Note.—We would not publish this note, It being Colonel Alston’s private property, except for the fact that in a postscript published in another part of this article, it is transferred from Colonel Alston to Mr. St Clair-Abrams, and thence to the public). Atlanta, Ga., May 20tb, 1873. Colonel R. A. Alston, Atlanta : The communication handed me this day by youraeif, from Mr. Alex. St Clair-Abrams, needs this reply. I am not the author of any report in relation to Mr St. Clair-Abrams’ blood, but did say, if he was a son of a certain family of Abrams of Augusta he had negro blood in his veins. I made enqniry in Augusta a few days ago, and satis fied myself that Mr. St Clair-Abiama is not of the family reported, and have frequently so stated since, folly acquitting him of the imputation. I make no such charge against Mr. St Clair-Abrams. Respectfully, Your obedient servant, CAREY W. STYLES CoL Alston declined receiving the note, insisting that it mast be addressed to Mr. St Clair-Abrams, be fore he would either acknowledge it or receive it At about eleven o'clock that night Col. D. P. Hill brought the same note to Col. Alston, with the following post script annexed by Col. Styles “Pleaee hand this note to Mr. Abram* as my repl: to his communication, which, I trust will be satisfac ; that whenever % charge by the slanderous tongue of another, that fcta blood mm tainted, that the imperftxv was an imper- opinloa of every man worthy to live, justify a reeort to the shot gun; that when the imputation of a want of chastity of a man's moihea was added to the provocation, there were tew men who would not pronounce it an offense that only blood gonld wipe out; hut at the same time his duty was (dear, and knowing the defendant, he felt compelled to Mud him over in a tea thousand dollar bond. Mr. St Clair-Abrams then return® I to his office, under guard, to make his bond. A number of friends volunteered ftbsir services at once, and a good bond eras selected and made at onoe. Mr. 84. Oteir-Abraass was then PUT A* LIBERTY, having been forced to pledge bla bondsmen that In- aide of the State he would keep the peace faithfully until toe bond expired. The matter rested quietly until on Wednesday nigh* when a committee of Editors, consisting of Messrs. Miliar, of toe Columbus Sun, atone, of toe Monroe Advertiser, and Smith of toe Brunswick Appeal, call ed on Col. Alston, and stated that at a meeting of toe Press Association that evening it had been decided that It was the doty of CoL Styles to sddresa his note of explanation and reparation directly to Mr. 8L Clair- Abrams, and that IN ACCORD AN OX WITH THIS REQUEST Col. Styles had authorized them to change the address of toe note he had written, from “CoL Alston” to “Mr. Abrams,'* t Mr. St Clair-Abrams again refused to accept any thing bat an ip stagy direct from Col. Styles, and thus toe matter was adjourned. GENERAL REMARKS. The public sentiment, as far aa this writer could gather it, was universally in Mr. St. Clair-Abrams’ fsvor; and,while it was especially unfortunate that any difficulty should have occurred at this especial junc ture, there were tew If any who blamed Mr. St Ctair- Abrams in the slightest degree for his decided action. The slander waa so terrible and so jagged in its very suggestions that Mr. St Clair-Abrams was absolutely stupefied when toe foul report waa flashed upon him. He tottered in as almost helpless agony to the counter, and said, in a voice choked and unnatural, "My God, they have abused me, and cursed me, and fought me like dogs, but I had never dreamed their worst malignity would bring it to this.” Dp to Tues day no breath ef such a rumor had ever come to his THE HAPPIEST AFFAIR OF TEH SEASON.

In tbs meantime Mr. 8L Clsir-Abrtnn wss guarded throughout toe night by two policemen, end early In the morning was carried to the Court House to appear before Judge Hopkins, on s peace warrant. Upon entering toe court room the reporter found Mr. Alex. SL Clair-Abrams sitting by bis counsel, Msjor George Hillyer. Captain Johnson and toe policeman who arrested Mr. St. Clair-Abram an Tues day were placed upon toe stand, and testified that they saw Mr. St* Clair-Abrams passing rapidly down Whitehall street with a gun in his heads; that Mayor Hammock told them to follow him, and arregt him that they ran over to toe Kimball House, followed by Mayor Hammock, and when they reached the front of the building they aaw Mr. St. Clair-Abrams with his gun In the act of shooting ; that they took hold of him, and at the same instant Mayor Hammock seized the gun; ha then carried Mr. 8l Clair-Abrams to toe Mayor's el&ce, and kept him there for several hours, and remained with him until 10 o’clock at nigbt, when be was 1 lieved'snd another officer put In his place. Colonel Alston wss then introduced, and testified the fact that Mr. Hi. Clair-Abrams had heard that Colonel Styles had circulated the report that bit wife had known 8ft. Clair-Abrams’ family wen, and that she knew that Mr. St. Clair-Abrams’ mother wae negro stnuepet. That this Information was wceived by Mr. 8ft. Clair-Abrams from what appeared to be toe most undoubted authority. That Colonel Styles had told it to a number of parties. That Mr. 8L Ctai Abrams at onoe addressed a note to Colonel Styles ^de manding so instant and unequivocal reply as whether he was the author of sack Reports. That Colonel Styles refused at first to tend an reply; tost he told Styles if that was his answer that he might prepare himself to din, or to kill Mr. St. Clsir-Abnuns. Here Colonel Styles said tost hs would send a reply, but not to Mr. 8t. Clair-Abrams. as he did not recognize Mr. St. Cteir-Abreme as a gentle men. When be carried Colonel Styles' message, Mr. St. Clair.Abrams Immediately leaded a double-barrelled gun, and proceeded at once to seek Stylet, when be wee emoted. After toe conclusion of the testimony, Msjor HiUyer made a statement to too Court earnestly protesting against depriving the defendant of bis liberty. The Judge did not require the Solicitor, Captain Glenn, to reply, but at one# gave the order that toe defendant be placed under a bond of ton thousand dollars to keep the peace until the next term of the Superior Court.

It must go straight to Mr. 8ft. Clair- Abrams, or the affair must work its own coarse. In the first piece, I defy any man to place his linger on a certain act in St. Clair-Abrams’ life that will give the slightest ground for the assertion that he is no gentle man. I know him intimately and well, and Grady and myself will pnt our own reputation on his very strictest morality, bravery* integrity, honesty, and chivalry. But If he was the basest creature on earth, and I had injured him by alluding to such a bate report in connection with his name, I would crawl on my knees, ten miles through the dirt, to beg his par don for the wrong I had unintentionally dcue him.

In Colonel Styles letter to Colonel R. A. Alston, he says he never spread the rumor, and never made the charge. In response to tola portion of his letter we shell merely give the following correspondence, and leave the public to arrive at their own conclusion: CORRESPONDENCE WITH ICR. D. B. WALTON. Atlanta, May 22d, 1873. David 8. Walton, Esq. : Dear Sib—It has been reported to me that you mentioned having heard Carey W, Styles say that I had negro blood In my veins. I most respectfully request that you infoi letter if this is correct I have the honor to be, sir, Yours obediently, Alex. St. Clair-Abrams. To this communication Mr. Walton, who is well known here as the President of the Atlanta Typo graphical Union, replied ss follows: Atlanta. Msy 22, 1873. Alex. 8t. Clair-Abrams: Dear Sir—In answer to your communication, I have to my that one day (the date of which 1 cannot recall) as Colonel Styles passed up the steps of the Constitution office, on which I was standing, he said, ■peaking of you, tost yon ware “a d—d nigger.” This about the time he had a personal misunderstand ing with you. Colonel Styles was not speaking to me at the time, bnt he made nse of the language, as I have given it, referring to you. Iu answer to yonr verbal questi< n, I would alao state that Carey W. Styles was the first and only per. son 1 ever heard make the charge. I am, sir, yours, Ac., David S Walton. From another source comes evidence that bears pertinently upon the subject. Almost everybody in Atlanta is acquainted with Mr. Lee Smith, with whom this correspondence passed: Atlanta, May 22, 1873. Lee Smith, Esq.: Dear Sir—It has been reported to me that yon mentioned having heard Carey W. Styles say that I had nagro blood in my veins. I most respectfully request that you inform me by letter if this report is correct. I have the honor to be sir, Yours, obediently, Alex. St. Clair-Abrams. To the above Mr. Lee Smith replied aa follows : Atlanta, May 22,1873. Alex. St. Clair-Abrams, Esq., Dear Sir.—In reply to yours of this date. I would ■ay that some time ago I was in toe company of Carey W. Styles and several others, when the conversation turned upon some matters with which you were con nected. As near as I can recollect Carey W. Styles said that if the parties would come to him he could tell them something that would “easily close Abrams up,” adding that yon had negro blood in you, or were part negro. This charge was made by him. as I un derstood it, as if it vu of his positive kuowledge. Yours very truly, Lee Smith. In the note which Colonel Styles wrote he states that the rumor was due to a mistake. It may be proper, however, to say that through lettera and telegrams re ceived at this office in response to inquiries sent to Kingston, Jamaica, and various parts of Louisiana, we find that Mr. St. Clair-Abrams belongs to a family thoroughly respectable in every respect, of pure and good Spanish blood, and for several generations known and esteemed by the communities in which they live. His mother, who is a native of the West Indies, now lives In Kingston, Jamaica, with his brother and her relatives. Aa to Mr. St. Clair-Abrams life and conduct since his return from abroad, and during his fifteen years’ residence in America, aa editorial writer on the Mobile, Macon, Atlanta and New York papers, and his career during the war aa a good and faithful follower of the rebel flag, under which he served as a Captain of Artillery and Aide-de-camp, it is not necessary to apeak. Hera we dismiss the subject, having said what we deem at ones a duty and pleasure to say. Toasts, Speeches, Wit, Wine and Jollity* Invitations had been issued to a number of gentle men to meet Gov Hendricks and other distinguished Western men at a wine party in the Reading Boom of the Kimball House at 12% f.m. on yesterday. On reaching the room, we found assembled a distinguish ed body of gentlemen, conststing of Governors Hen dricks and Smith; Honorable L. H. Thomas, of Iowa; Colonel Peyton, of Virginia; Generals DuBoso, Young, and Gordon; Honorable E. C. Anderson, of Savannah; Colonel W. H. Weems, CoL Geo. W. Adair, Major Mc Farland, Colonel Morebead, Honorable T. M. Nor wood, Judge Underwood, and Honorable Morgan Rawls, Colonel E. Y. Clarke, Colonel B. A. Alston and Captain O. H. Jones, who called the meeting to order and presided at the head of the table with grace and dignity. Goner 1 Gordon announced the business toe meeting by proposing “ The complete har mony between the West and South,” accompanied tho toast with one of those beautiful speeches which only Gordon can make. This toast was responded to by Governor Hendricks, in plsin, but forcible lan guage. He said that while fie had differed with us 1b the past, yet ho was satisfied that he was talking to a body of men who felt that what had been done waa finally settled. That he would not say that in all things it had been rightly done on their side, but one thing he had no hesitation In saying that while he was for war while the war lasted, yet when peace come he bad been in favor of a real and not a pretended peace. He had been in favor of the restoration of the Con stitution, and waa always in favor of the Southern States reorganizing their own governments without the intervention of Congress. Governor Hendricks impressed these remarks on the audience with great force and eloquence. He was followed by Governor Smith in one of his happiest and most pleasing ef forts, winding up with a practical suggestion which put the whole company in a roar. Hon. L. A. Thomas followed Governor Smith in the same strain, and took his seat amid the cheering plaudits of the whole room. Colonel G. W. Adair, in one of Adair's peculiar efforts, which kept the audience iu a roar, toasted the preaa, and called upon Colonel R. A. Alston to respond. The Colonel suggested that Colonel E. Y. Clarke, who had been longer in the business, should do tho speak ing, but Colonel Clarke left the room, and it, there fore, devolved upon Colonel B. to do the best he could, which he did. Colonel Alston called on General Young, who paid a glowing tribute from personal knowledge to the great statesman of the West, Governor Thomas A. Hendricks, and as he pronounced his name, with accord the response was, “Onr next President. Colonel Adair was called on by Captain Oliver Jones, presiding, who, in some very felicitous remarks refer red to Colonel Adair’s and his own early training among the broomaedge fields of old DeXalb, and said that neither of them ever saw champagne uutil they were twenty-five years old, and thus illustrated the old adage that there was no telling what a man might come to before he died. Little did Col. Adair and myself dream, when we were running rabbits and twisting possums out of persimmon trees, that they should ever be in the presence of Governors, Generals and Statesmen, the distinguished of the land. His remarks elicited great applause and much mirth, and was only equaled by tho adroit manner In which Col. Georgia Western Adair foiled all efforts on the part of President Jones to prove that he bad not been through the Georgia University. Colonel Peyton, of Virginia, formerly of General Lee’s staff, made a beautiful speech, referring to the bravery and magnanimity of the soldiers of both armies, and concluded by toasting the Federal and Confederate dead. Taken all in all, this wss oue of the most joyful oc casions of the whole week, and it was with sincere re gret that the party separated, to return once more to the busy scenes of life. THE COURTS.

The stirring events of the past few days have bad wonderfully humanizing tendency upon bis Honor and have caused him to reduce his scale of prices. For this, the crowd of unfortunates who occasionally wait on him, are of course duly gratified. The first case sounded yesterday morning was against No. 80. who bad left a written acknowledge ment—charg es $8 60. Thirty-one went up for the same sum under similar circumstances, and was happy. Wm. Thprnton, colored, is the proprietor of a blind boss which is addicted to the habit of standing atock still when left loose on the streets, bnt William unfor tunately left him yesterday in front cf Tom Phillip’i •tore, and even a blind boss knows that is a good place to go. Ignorance of Tom’s popularity was considered no good plea, and William paid costs for his carries#- ness. Jake Whitaker (colored; thought It made no differ ence if a drayman carried a load to Campbeliton. ha was only entitled to hla usual drayage.

Oorts. And tone closed toe moet merciful day ot the ntgn of King Dennis. N. B. —Johnson was in a good ha- At three o’clock p. m„ yesterday two reporters of the Herald procured the requisite permission to enter toe Fnlton county prison, and on being shown in by Captain Wise, toe jailor, found that fifty-one male aud eleven female prisoners were confined. Three of these have already been convicted of murder, and the decision of the Superior Court in two of toe cases has been affirmed by the Supreme Court, which leaves the parties to the Executive as tho only possible source of relief. Belton O’Neil is under sonteuce of death for the murder of Little, aud the (lay designated for his execution is the I3lh day of June next. Kelly stands convicted of the murder of Captain Hardeman, of Newton county, while Malone, as all well know, wae found guilty of murder in killing Frank Phillips, end hla case is now pending in tho Supreme Court, end bla sentence of death meantime is suspended. The two first are confined exclusively to cells in the jail and chained by toe leg. The other mate prisoners, the majority of whom have been convicted, ere con fined for smaller offenses, such es illicit distilling, as. unite, larceny, etc., the females for keeping lewd booses, though they protest that they kept any houses at all—tost they were boarding merely, but courts and juries seem, in most instances, to have entertained a different view of the subject- There are one or two negro women—the rm white. The white women were eating a warm dinner when the men of toe quill entered, and invited the latter to dine with them, but the latter having already partaken of a bountiful repast, or from some cause, declined toe invitation. One of these unfortu nate creatures was observed careering a small boy, sged about three years, when one of toe reporters approached her and inquired if it was her own child. She answered that it was, when toe reporter inquired if she would not prefer for some suitable person to take the little boy and raise end educate it ? She replied no; that she would not yield it np to any person at all, and desired to remain in peon it, as it wae the object of her special love and Approaching the'cell oocupiedby O’Neil, we found him quietly sitting down on a small box, looking pale and emaciated, though swollen by dropsy. His health is very bed, for besides the dropsy lie has the asthma and is taking medicine for this disease regularly, received us kindly, and Invited us to seats on his box, stating that he was no« allowed to have chairs In Ills celL In reply to the question if he thought tost sentence of death would be executed upon him, he said that he did not, that he believed the Executive was an honest man, and that he would not permit him to be hong. He stated that he had read in the Herald accounts of the hanging of Spann and Miss Eberhart. and believed that Governor Smith had done his duty in refusing to interfere to save him, but their cases were not logons to his, aud did not possess the same merit and demand for clemency; that Spann was a wife-murderer and Miss Eberhart an accomplice in it, but that he was only guilty of justifiable homi cide, killing iu self-defense. We here asked him about the possession of toa large knife with which he killed Little, and he said that be only had it for the purpose of opening paint barrels, cutting pieces of wood, etc., and that It was an accident that he had it with him when he met Little. We aaked him if toe rumor that he had been cursing and swearing true, aud be answered that it was, but hoped toe people of Atlanta would not condemn him foe a harsh expression now and then, because peculiar situation and surroundings; that it seemed this his illfate in the Courts bad impressed him that he was persecuted and was provoking. He stated that he should make no further attempts to escape, and showed ns the hole that he cut in the floor not long since. He also remarked that he could break the chain from off his leg in twenty minutes, but that it would avail him nothing aa the building waa impreg nable. He states that ministers had occasionally called to see him, but that it appeared as if they had forsaken him; that he was endeavoring to prepare to meet the worst in the last extremity, but could not believe that to hang was his fate. His wife is permitted to come and talk, to him through toe door. She lives within 200 yards of the prison, and has no children. On her last visit she fainted in the jail contemplating the condition of her beloved husband. He states, that for ten years previous to the killing of Little he had had no difficul ty of any consequence with any one; that about ten years ago several parties attacked him while on his way from the direction of Marietta to the State shop for the purpose of sharpening his knife, and that with the knife he cut one of the party, for which he was not even arrested, be being universally conceded to be justifiable. In response to the question, if he had any objections to the publication of the state ments made by him, he said that he had none, but that he had not anticipated such an object. Passing the cell occupied by Kelly, we fonnd him reading a book* and he appeared not to observe ns. He is a stout, healthy, robust looking man, and Milt Malone saya that the only person he ever saw unconcerned by reason of prison life. Malone waa sitting on a small keg with a plank across it, in front of hte cell, in the hall of the jail. O’Neil and Kelly are the only inmates denied toe privilege of jail liberty* One half of the prisoners are turned out in the morning and the other half in the evening, to pre vent it being crowded. Malone is the most neatly dressed prisoner, and haa the best appearance, and his cell the cleanest in the jail. He is sufleriug from some disease. He had in his tap a ■mall terrier dog, whicb he haa had with him ever since his confinement. He complained of the noise and confusion which sarronnded him, and which disturbs his rest and repose. He considers that O’Neal is the only prisoner in a critical condition. Kelly don’t consider his condition as perilous. 8ays that he ia not the man who killed Hardeman, and that he has not been identified as such; that he is not guilty, and don’t believe that an innocent man will be hung; haa plenty to eat and nothing to do; appears calm and composed. All toe prisoners concede that they are kindly troated by the officers, and that they all get plenty to eat O’Neil enjoys his leisure hours in pencil writing on the wall of his prison. He is a sign painter, and some of his drawings, even with a pencil, are Interesting. He has the lion, dog, monkey, etc., exhibited on his prison wall, together with writings. Among the tatter we noted the following aggestive sentence, “I, Belton O'Neil, the persecuted.” Aud also this: “Now my mother’s gone to rest, Goue to the arms of jo7; And I wonder if she ever thinks Of her orphan boy.” Dtssrvl*| Patronage.
