LOCAL NOTICES. The Meeting Yesterday Morning. According to announcement, a large number of the merchants and business men of the city met at the Hall of the Chamber of Commeroe at half-past nine o’clock yesterday morning, for the purpose of diacua- sing and some action on the Tax Ordinance tor the City, as reported by Council. On motion of Colonel A. J. McBride, Hon. Jno. H. James was called to the Chair, and explained the object of the meeting in some vigorous and eminently practi cal remarks. During his remarks he stated that the floating debt of Atlanta waa now three or four hundred thousand dollars, and that it was to the interest of all that this indebtedness should be cut down, and that the Council should have the nerve to levy according to the demand, and that having implicit confidence in that body, he doubted not that they would do what was right and necessary in the matter. Major J. F. Edwards was requested to act as Secre tary. Colonel A. J. McBride stated that a number of wholesale and retail dealers had expressed to him dissatisfaction in reference to the tax ordinance adopted by Council—they consider ing that it imposed an onerous burthen upon them. He therefore offeied the following resolution: Whereas, the tax ordinance as reported by the tax Committee of the City Council of Atlanta for this year ia very unsatisfactory to the merchant! and business of Atlanta, Inasmuch as it mskes many ot them pay a high rate of tax on two to four times as much as they are worth; therefore be it Resolved, That a committee be appointed by this meeting to go before the Mayor and Couu. cil, and respectfully request them to repeal said section and re-enact the tax of a quarter of one per cent, on all sale* and receipts as heretotore.” J. Norcrocs made some remarks sustaining the or dinance as reported and recommending an increase of the per centum of tax on property to meet the exiget • ciea of the hour. Colonel B. E. Crane advocated an advalorem tax, but thought the assessment should be confined to the capital invested in business, and not extended to merchandise or debts. Mr. Moore, of the firm of Moore k Marsh, also favored an advalorem tax on capital, and was will* ing in case it shonld be found necessary to see the rate advanced. Mr. Crane offered the following, which was accepted as a substitute for Colonel McBride’s resolution, and adopted: “Resolved, That the City Council be requested to amend the second section of the Tax Ordinance, so as to impose an advalorem tax ou the capital stock only, and not on merchandise, solvent debts, etc.” Cspt. J. N. Dunn, made a handsome speech in support of a well regulated system of advalorem taxation, which he conceived to be an assessment on what the dealer was worth, not on the amonnt of goods on hand; asses- ment on goods on hand that are paid for, on solvent debts, and on cash in bank, the proceeds from aales. A resolution offered by Mr. Norcross, requesting the City Council to increase the rate of percent., was laid on the table. Wantzd.—A Wet nurse.

Health of Atlanta.—The health of Atlanta con tinues good, the air being cool and bracing. On yes terday a rumor obtained circulation to the effect that a case of cholera was in our midst. A man by the name of Brsgdon, living in the vicinity of Payne’s Chapel, in the northern portion of the city, who had returned from Chattanooga bnt a week ago and who is a carpenter, went to hia work complaining of feeble health early in the morning, but about one o’clock be ate a hearty dinner—indulging quite freely in tbe use of beans and was at once seized with severe pains, and for a short time suffered in tensely. We learn that Er. Heery, the attending physician, gave it as liis opinion that the dis ease was a "slight at’ack cf cholera.” The man, however, soon commenced recovering, and before sundown was pronounced entirely out of danger. With due deference to the opinion of Dr. Heery, who is an estimable gentleman, we trust and believe that he was mistaken in his diagnosis of the disease. The circumstances attending the attack do not indicate that it was cholera. M.
