THE HERALD'S CIRCULATION. lihst Sunday, through inadvertence, oar re port of the continued increase of our circula tion was left out.

Every impartial writer, PRINCE NAPOLEON AND HIS IN- TKIOTW—ITALY AND THE ROMAN QUESTION. An explanation of Prince Napoleon’s intrigues is found in the interview with the Empress Eugenie, published on yesterday. As isjno- toriously known, the Prince is anything bot a religious man. He is a thorough disciple of Voltaire; skeptical in religious matters to au offensive extent; although morally not worse than many other princes—the Prince of Wales for example. As the Empress re marked, he is able, a good judge of men and rich. These three qualifications have enabled him to form a party of his own, composed of very able men. Nevertheless, he is not popu lar in France. With the army he is entirely out of favor, and is known to the soldiers as “Plon Plon,” a nickname given him by them. The clergy abhor him, so do the peas antry, while all the other classes of French society are indifferent if not hostile. In spite of these disadvantages, the pres tige of his name, no less than his decided talents and the liberal sentiments he has given expression to, have won him a hearing and enabled him to form a party of his own. That he aspires to become the head of the French nation is evident In this ambition be is en couraged by his father-in-law, the King of Italy. Victor Emmanuel does not yet feel any exhibition. We devote a large portion of oar paper this morning to the publication of the eloquent oration of CoL H. D. Capers, delivered at the Capitol on the 4th day of July. This speech will no doubt be extensively read, as being the first of the kind which has been delivered by a Southern man in the Sooth since the surrender. Col. Capers was a gallant soldier of the Confederate army, and, like most of those |Who took an active part in our late struggle, he is anxious for a restoration of peace and good-will. The anarchy in Spain is becoming frightful, and the prospect of the Carlists overthrowing the so-called Republican government is fast becoming a probability. Such a success would simply be the removal of one evil by another. The bigotry and intolerance of the Carlists would 60on fill the Spanish prisons, _ . , , . , - - . . - ... . . , , , ~ r i denng churches and convents and driving out with men who happened to differ from them tx ~ v,+ a*-^ on religious questions, and fill continental : Europe with Spanish exiles. Perhaps the j whether Protestant or not, admits that his occupation of that city was a gross outrage upon the Pope and a gross violation of solemn treaty obligations. It is not surprising, there fore, that Catholics everywhere are hostile to him, and that even among the free-thinkers and skeptics of France the desire is strong to see him driven out of the city and sent back to Florence. Victor Emmanuel had no claim whatever upon Borne. For centuries it bad been ruled by the Popes, and the Czar of Russia had about as good a title to it as the King of Italy. Putting aside all religious prejudices, the oc cupation of Rome was au outrage, pure and simple. Victor Emmanuel walked in while France was in extremis and Austria powerless. The only pretext he had was that Rome must be the capital of United Italy. And since Rome was occupied the King and his Parlia ment have been principally engaged in plun- If Italy is to retain Rome, the must look to . Germany and Rusgia for assistance; but from France she cannot obtain even acquiescence in the occnpation. Her position is conse quently a dangerous one. Bismarck will never jeopardize the German Empire for Italy and the moment the German Catholics be come dangerous, he is just the man to win them over by coolly deserting Italy and advo cating the restoration of the Pope's temporal power#. DM. PINCKNEY AND THE CITY COUNCIL. The Hxbald published yesterday a very able paper from the hands of Dr. Pinckney, the Chairman of the Board of Health of Atlanta. After a pleasant and intelligent discussion of the general and comparative health of our citizens, Dr. Pinckney touched at length upon the most vital point of Atlanta’s sani tary regulations—the removal of her excre- mentitious matter. Whether Dr. Pinckney has or has not struck the correct details of the remedy, he is certainly on the general right line. The excrement while extremely injurious and worthless if thrown away or scatteied, becomes both harmless and valua ble if preserved and properly worked up into manure. The “ poudrette” of New York city, made of this matter, is a splendid manure, and the company that manufactures it re moves New York night soil without a cent of cost to the city, getting their pay out of the manure into which the excrement is made. Cannot some similar arrangement be made in Atlanta ? We earnestly commend Dr. Pinckney’s arii cle to the careful cansideration of the City Council and all thoughtful citizens. the inmates, regardless of their right and title to the property they occupied.

The marshal has been around town inspecting cel lars, and having them cleaned out. That tbia was a much needed work the quantities of trash hauled out will testify. Fitch bought the wrong ticket in the last Kentucky Lottery, and pronounce* the agent who sold it to him to be a brand. The population of Bntte connty in 1860 was 3,37$ whites, and 3,067 blacks; in 1870 the population was 3,496 whites and 2,336 blacks, showing an increase of both races, and a total increase for the ten years of 501 population. The crops in that section will not be so good as was anticipated. Cotton was greatly damaged by lice. Corn ia first rate, bat not much planted. The country papers all over the State are filled thia week with long descriptions of commencement exer cises, and conssquently contain but little else of news and reading. Alabama News. Andrew McGehee, a freed man, who several years since, in the town of Seale, Alabama, stabbed and killed Berry McMakin, another freedmen, was last week arrested near Hatchechubbee, Alabama, by Dr. Paschal, carried to 8eale and lodged in jail.

To trk Editors or tee Herald : On Friday last it waa our pleasure to spend the prin- cip d portion of the day in the beautiful Middle Geor gia city —Griffin. While there we took what politicians would call a calm aurvey of the “ situation,” which re sulted in the following conclusions: —Thst, for eligible and healthy location, pure air and fins water, Griffin ia unsurpassed in the State. Second—That the citizens possess, in an eminent degree, those essential qualities to success and useful ness—industry and enterprise, with moral and intel lectual culture. Third—That the surrounding country keeps pace with the city in permanent prosperity and the trait* referred to. The substantial buildings,stores and residences,of the city are indicative of and inseparably oonnected with the idea of permanency; and In thia particular, espw dally as to residences, the comparison with Atlanta la moat favorable to Griffin.

We have heard a great deal during the past three years of “Cotton Fatures,” and now comes “ Meat Futures.” We have heard of a firm in this city that generally mauages to keep well posted, who foresaw early last Spring that owing to the immensity of the foreign demand, that the hog prospect would go very high duriDg the summer, and consequently they made heavy contracts for June, July, August and Septem ber delivery. They have now a very large profit on these contracts, but as the prospect is favorable for still higher prices, they decline | on those streets which cross thia one, and a few are also to be met with on Broadway.

In truth, we were laughed at by a friend for taking so much pains with our cotton. He stated that he had long since been cured of all such foolishness. That he now made it a practice to remove his mole board entirely from his gin and allow all the sand and motes to go into his lint ram. That he sold on a rising market and fonnd that “ cotton was cotton,” and what little he might lose in price he gained in weight. We had another friend to remonstrate with m in the same way, stating that on one occa sion his plantation had been visited by a storm, which had blown nearly his entire crop in tnc sand. That he picked it up and ginned it and sold the crop for more then he could have gotten far a clean crop, as he sold about five thousand pounds of his sand for fifteen cents per pound. Last winter we saw a crop lot of cotton sold, and among the lot were several hales of very fine cotton and others that were dirty aad inferior, yet the in ferior cotton brought within one cent of the beet. It looks very unreasonable that buyers should make so little discrimination, but tbe fact is so, and until a change is made in this particular, and cotton is classed as clean cot ton and dirty cotton, planters will not trouble themselves with anything bnt quantity.

Three Lucky German*. THEY DRAW THK $100,000 PRIZE IN THE LOTTERY. From the Louisville Coureir-Journal, which was re ceived by yesterday’s mail, we see a long account of the good fortune of the lucky holders of ticket No. 20,893, which drew the capital prize of $100,000 in the great Louisville lottery of Tuesday. The ticket was held by three men, all Germans. The paper gives a full account of how they came to possess the ticket, a minute history of the men and its effect, etc. There is a German by the name of Baas, on Jeffer son street, in Louisville, who is the proprietor of a wholesale liquor store, on rather an unpretentious scale. He had two friends, whoso names we cannot now recollect, both Germans. One of them was a saloon keeper, and the other a blacksmith. It appears that some time in the spring, before tbe first drawing was advertised to take place, and which was post poned till last Tuesday, Mr. Baas (pronounced Boos) and his two friends were in his establishment drink ing beer, and among other subjects of conversation, the lottery was spoken of. Mr. Baas remarked to his fiienda that he had dreamed a night or two before, that a certain number wonld draw the capital prize, and proposed that they should all club in and buy that ticket. This suggestion was agreed to, he buying three quarters himself and the others going halves in tho remaining fourth. Tbe next day Bess went to an agency and purchased the ticket, paid for it, and carried it home aud put it away in a bureau drawer. The drawing aa advertised for April waa postponed, end Mr. Bess and hia friends had forgotten their tick et. A day or two after the drawing hia wife was look ing through the drawer, and came upon a ticket, and opening it, procured a list of the drawing and com pared it with the numbers on the ticket. She saw that it corresponded with the lncky figures which had drawn the prize, but as her husband was absent from the city, she said nothing, bnt awaited bis return. On his arrival, she told him of her dtecovery, and produced the ticket and printed Hate of prizes. Mr. Baas ia a moment saw that he had won, and at ouce sent for Ms two friends and broke the good news to them. Tbe Conier-Journal says that each of the lucky men are considered honorable, upright citizens, and the excitement which ti created when it became known thst they had the fortunate ticket rau very high. They were at once transformed into “lions,” aad attracted tho gaze and curiosity of everybody. Mr. Baas will increaso his business extensively, while the saloon keeper will go higher and the poor blacksmith is supremely happy at this good stroke of fortune. They are each making preparations to visit the “F*!t*erlan1” and the “old folk* at home,*’ and will bring out to this couutry their remaining kindred. Tbe Courier-Journal modestly suggests to theae gentlemen that ti would be real nice if they would just till one room of the Library Building with books of their osa selections, and let it remain as a mon ument to their memories and llt>erality. just this side of Simmons A Hunt’i Mr- Hunnicutt, of Hunnicntt A Bsllingrath, has bought the Wylly lot on Walton, Peachtree and Broad, and will put up a very handsome block of atorea thereon very noon.

But the young men of the town, we learn, have determined to endeavor to remedy this state of affairs to a certain extent, by advocating the doctrine of mergrr of names. How they will succeed we are not apprised, and just Mr. Eiawold haa juat completed a brick residence on ! here (for we would not incur for a single moment the Wheat street, and Mr. G. W.
