CHARLEY PUTT FLEO THE CITY. Three or Four Warrants After Him. A PHCTTY ROUCH CASE. There is much exettemeet ia business circles in H&hta to consequence of the sudden departure of Mr. Ghee. TL Platt a clerk of Platt k Co. On making inquiry aa to the cease of his sudden disappearance, we find that he owed many debts in the city which he wes unable to meet, sad that there were three war rants out for hie arrest Our reporter called oa Justice Mott for the purpose of ascertaining the nature of the warrants Issued, and found that Robt Dohme, jeweler, bad sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Cbas. Platt, on the ground that he had obtained goods under false pretense#, and that Messrs. Haynes and Guimarln had also sworn out warrants for the arrest of the aforesaid Platt far larceny after trust Our reporter then oalled on Mr. Robert Dohme, end discovered that Platt had bought divers goods from Dohme, representing himself to be a partner in the house of Platt k Co., and that $150 of the bill was still unpaid. That he bad taken oat this warrant, and was making every effort to have Platt arrested. Had telegraphed to many points, but had no satisfactory clue as to hia whereabouts. MR. gus Baynes’ tale. The reporter next visited Mr. Haynes, the jeweler, and heard his account of his transactions with Charles Platt. He says that Platt was introduced to him by a friend, and recommended as a gentliman wertliy of trast. That soon after this Platt came into hit store for the purpose of buying a ring to present to his wife, according to his statement. After examining a very handsome solitaire diamond ring, valued at $&X>, he gained a reluctant consent from Mr. Haynes to carry it home, to see if it would please hia wife, stating that hia wife was too unwell to veotme out. .Id if his wife was pleased with, and liked the ring, he would buy; if not he would return it next day. Two er three days after this Mr. Haynes met him oa tho street, and inquired whether he bad deter mined to keep the ring or not. Mr. P. answered that ou account of a letter he had received from his father, in Augusta, containing intelligence regarding the extreme illness of his daughtei.he had not broach ed the subject of the ring to his wife; would do so cer tain that night, and either give him a check for the price of the ring, or return it next dty. Things continued this way for several days, P. making different excuses for not returning the ring. On Saturday Haynes saw him, and told him that he kal waited long enough, and that he must re turn it. Platt left him, stating he would go straight home and return immediately with the ring. Since then he has not been heard of. We then called on Mr. T. J. Guimarin to ascertain his losses mud tho char acter of his case. He says that Platt admired a watch in hia shop for repairs, and requested him to see the party owning the watch and enquire if it could be bought, and at what figure. He did as desired and re ported the watch for sale at $125. Platt asked per mission to carry the watch borne to consult his wife shout £ the purchase before the trade w mm mated. Mr. G. gave a ready consent, when he retired with the watch, and was not again. THE MEANEST ACT OF ALL. We learn that Platt took some jewelry belonging to his wife, who was confined to a sick bed, from child birth, and pawned said jewels without her knowledge or consent, and appropriated the money thus gained to himself. Messrs. Haynes and Guimarin both say that Platt represented himself as being a jartner of Platt A Co. Much telegraphing has been done, and detectives at work, but up to the time of writing, Lbe only liable Information gained regarding his movements, is that he left town on Saturday night and stayed at East Point until Monday at ten o’clock; thence went, no one knows where. mr. flatt’s family connections. Mr. Chas. H. Platt is a son of Mr. Cbas. A. Platt, of Augusta, a man of large means and fine business qualifications, who stands vary high both in social and business circles. We learn that Mr. Platt had no con nection with the firm of Platt A Cx, save aa a salaried clerk, on exactly the same footing with young Edwin Platt. The family connections of this young man are unexceptionable, being recognized all ever the State (at Augusta, Cuthbert, and elsewhere,) as men of ample means and fine business integrity and ability. Charley is the first one who ever “went wrong.” A PRETTY LITTLE ROMANCE. When Charley Platt was quite young he went to Eu rope and became inamored of a young European lsdy of great beauty, and was about to marry her when she suddenly died. Overcome with grief he traveled all over the continent, lavishing money and plunging into all sorts of dissipation to drown his sorrow. He fail ed, however, and after six years, returned to America with a heavy heart. While strolling down a street in New York he saw a young girl, in whose face, lestures and expression, he saw duplicated, or rather 1^608’. fied. the loveliness and beauty of his deceased be trothed. He made her acquaintance at once. He fouud she was a poor sewing girl, and pressed his suit with such vigor that she shortly yielded to bis pleas, a-.d became hia wife. They have lived in perfect harmony and happiness, having a beautiful girl born unto them, and another baby now only a few days old. Tbe ab ove story we hsve from a reliable source as the truth. We hear that the Platt family will take care of this lady and her children as iong as they m y live, or need help or protection. This is certainly noble and commendable.

Justices* C< arts. Justice Hammond yesterday investigated a peace warrant case against Alice Coni era (colored). The warrant was issued at the instance of her husband, Joseph Conyers (colored). After hearing the evidence and arguments, tbe Jus tice required her to give bond in the sum of twenty- five dollars to keep tbe peace. Hinton P. Wright, for the State; Thomas Finley, for the defense. Justice Hammond also investigated a case sgainst A. T. Finney, charged wish committing n assault on 8- F. Rand. After bearing the evidence and arguments, ths Court disebarged Mr. Finney. Thomas Finley, for the defense; no counsel for the 8tate. The $750 Premium to the Best Drilled Military Company.—The city of Macon, with commendable liberality, has increased the premium to the best drilled military company from $500, ten per cent entry fee, to $750, no entry fee, thus making an in crease of three hundred dollars in what was already a liberal premium. We sincerely hope that Macon may be reimbursed f >r her pnbllc-spirited generosity in her efforts to make the approaching State Fair one of the most in teresting exhibitions ever held in Georgia. Mayor Huff has thrown bis entire en rgies into this matter and there will be nothing lacking on bis part. If the people respond ss they should, we may expect to meet the largest crowd st Macon next October ever astern bled In Georgia. The t'ssr nf the Herald 4 ppreel«t« tl It is well known that tbe proprietors of the Herald have spared neither effort or mooey to give to their readers loll and faithful reports of tbe condition of our iducAtions) institutions and such evidences of appreciation as the following extract frem a letter from a member of tbe Board of Trustees of Monroe Female College, are moet gratifying to them: “If tbe people of Tc rsjtb and Monroe county do not stick up to the Herald Liter its exceedingly handsome and generoas course to wards tb<m and their educational institutions, they certai ly will not deserve success, sympathy tor aid in any enterprise they may inaugu rate.

Judge Pittman yesterday beard a habeas corpus between Mr. H. A. Johnson and the fcheriff of Fulton county, Mr. A. M. Perkeraon. The following are the facts: Mr. Johnson wss ths engineer in chsrse of < the engines which collided on the Macon tnd Western Railroad during lest winter, and caused Iocs of life. At the next term of Henry Superior Court he wss indict ed for involuntary manslaughter, gave bond for his appearsnes, and was reissued. Subsequently his sure ties, finding him in that county, gave him up. t-> Sher iff 'Perkeraon, instead of to the Sheriff of Henry county. For the past three months he has been coo fined in Fulton coucty prison, without warrant, mitti mus, or other legal process. Under this state Gf facte the writ of habeas corpus wss issue ». Upon learning that the writ had baen asrved on Sheriff Pcrksrson the Sheriff of Henry couoiv brought up the bench warrant under which Mr. Johnson was oricinslly arretted, and Sheriff Per- kerson attached thia to and made it a part of hia answer. Upon bearing the petition and answer Judge PHt- moo delivered Mr. Johnson to the Sheriff of Henry county to be earned to the jail of that county. Tignar A Ellis for petitioner; A. W.

Bice were that he was opposed to members of Council and mem bers of a committee from Council to vote the city stock, voting themselves into office. Wanted it un derstood that he was oppoied to such action. Alderman Brotherton explained his reason for vot ing for Mr. Rice was. that, the ex*President, present President and Directors of the road, all said Mr. Bice made a most efficient Director. Aidermao Mecaslin thought Alderman Dodd had been over-zealous. Alderman McMillan had nothing against Alderman Rice, but thought Mr. Dodd’s position was the correct one. Alderman Rice stated that lie refused to vote his own stock; the President SDd Directors insisted on his taking the action he did: that if any individual stockholder would object to him lie would resign; that Alderman McMillan had asked Alderman Dodd if any member of Council was elected, to elect Alderman Me- caslin; that Mr. McMillan had shown prejudice. Alderman McMillan—Tf the gentleman has any thing against ine he can settle it outside of this cham ber. Alderman Rice—That it is where I propose to set tle it. His Honor ruled personalities out of order. Alderman McMillan would not indorse a naan in voting for btmgelf. 8aid to Mr. Dodd if your commit tee elects any member of the committee he would protest against it. Alderman Rice thought that if the ballot-boxes of the c*ty were searched, Alderman McMillan would be found to have voted for himself. Alderman McMillan said the ca' es were not s m Alderman Rice thought the principle the same opposition had been offered him, he probably would uot have accepted the position. He was used to op position, and expected to conquer it. Asked no help from any man. Alderman Mecaslin had voted for himself for Direc. tor in the Gas Comp my, representing the city stock. Thought he ought to have been elected President o- Direetor of the Georgia Western. If the whole Coun cil were in it would be pleasant to them, if not advan tageous to tbe road. Alderman Boring protested against personalities lbe day of election was over. Tbe people aie the critics. The subject is improperly before the Coun cil. Alderman Dodd explained that his report was the minority report of the committee of three to vote the city stock. Nothing personal with him. Wants to be placed right on tbe record.

On Thursday, the 24th last., the Fair gotten up un der the auspices of tbe “Powder Springs Agricultural Club,” took place at the beautiful village of Powder 8prings, in the southwestern portion of Cobb county The enthusiasm which pervades the farmers of this county on the subject of agriculture, and their auxiety to capture the $1,000 premium st the next State Fair, and thus maintain the prestige of the “banner coun ty,” caused this Fair to be largely attended, there be ing more than fifteen hundred people present. Ample preparations and arrangements had been made by efficient working committees to reader the audience comfortable and to exhibit tbe various arti cles in the best possible manner. The place selected was a beautiful grove of majestic oaka, whose green foliago and branching boughs serv ed as a protection against tbe rays of the anu at mid-day. This had been enclosed, and a single spacious entrance admitted the throng. At an early hour the people from the surrounding countiy began pouring in, eager to witness all that was to transpire during the day. A little later, and large numbers from Acworth, snd tbe CITIZENS OF MARI ETTA almost en masse, presented themselves upon the scene. This last named city was very nearly depopu lated by the exodus from it, as evinced by the quantity of soothing Ryrup bought and used ty the business en, who w*ere so inconsiderate as to remain at home not having the fear of the farmers movement and organization before their eyea. The following are a few of those from Marietta who went forth in response to tho pulsations of the “lords of the soil,” sod who during tho day quaffed goblets of mineral water and were happy: Gen. Phillips, Col. Berkhalter, Hons. W. D. and W. P. Anderson, Judge Knight, Judge David Irwin, Cols. J. D. Waddell snd George N. Lester, Major Tucker, Judge Hammett, Col. White, Sheriff Stephens, Dr. W. P. Harden,Mr. W. Kiser, J. F. Lindley, Sex Anderson, Capt. Van Wyck and L. Nortncutt. Onr accomplished and talented young friend. Noah Neal, of the Marietta Journal, was also there, getting up “oil'hand” local dots. THE GATE CITY WAS REPRESENTED by His Excellency Governor Smith, Judge Trippe, Col. T. C. Howard, Major J. H. Anderson, Captain Smith, from tho house of Mark W. Johnson, Mr. O. M. Hipps, George W. Lowe, Larkin H. Davis, Charlie F. Malone, R. P. Trippe. Jr., and others. THE EXHIBITION was interesting and embraced an almost innumerable variety of agricultural products and mechanical and artistic work. The heated range of the thermometer induces us to dismiss the list of articles with the mark, “too tedious to mention,” except in so fax to state that it was far superior to what we had pected to see, and reflects the greatest credit upon the farmers and the fair ladies, many of whom contri buted handsome specimens of artistic work. At the close of the exhibition the committees announced their awards, and the premiums were all promptly paid from funds derived from the sale of admission tickets. Hon. David Irwin, the distinguished jurist, received the premium for the “best Irish potatoes,” which shows that his reputation is not circumscribed to profession or pursuit. THE SPEAKING. Colonel Tom Howard was first introduced to the assemblage, and enchained attention for three-fonrths of an hour, during which time he advanced numerous reasons going to establish the fact that with a proper development of resources the variety of soil, products, climate, minerals, etc., Georgia possesses within her self the elements and essentials of a mighty empire. This speech was such ss he never fails to make, elo quent, argumentative and exhaustive of the subject with which he grappled. COLONEL GEORGE N. LESTER next entertained the audience for half an hour with one of his eminently practical, logical and sensible speeches. He deprecated the too prevalent custom of the fatmer in underrating and understanding his call ing, and advocated the cultivation of a spirit of com mendable pride in such a noble and honorable pursuit At the conclusion of Col. Lester’s remarks, which well received, Governor Smith, who had just ar rived, was introduced to the people. He occupied tbeir attention for about one hour, and spoke with great power, earnestness and effect. No synoptic*; report of his ipeech could do justice to the author. replete with sound philosophy and logic. The fearless and mauly manner in which be spoke im pressed the people with the conviction that, in so far the Executive is concerned, tbe great farming in terest, which his Excellency very properly called “the paramount interest,” is safe. He expressed himself favorable to the establishment of a State Agricultu ral Bureau, and demonstrated its importance and utility. Hon. Robert P. Trippe, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, next made a short but vigor- and telling speech. He is most hippy on such occasions, and never fails to make hU hearers consider that they are fortunate to see and hear him. His entire manner and appearance at once convinces the stranger that he is what he really is— one of “nature’s noblemen,” and besides, a highly cultivated gentleman. He first aroused the attteution of the audience by boldly throwing down the guantlet and pitting Monroe, his native county, against Cobb in the contest for the $1,000 premium this Jail. He con gratulated the people of Cobb on their industry, ener gy and enterprise, but put them ou their guard by making the challenge for Monroe. Dr. J. 8. Lawton, of Forsyth, to whom Judge Trippe referred in his address as the “head-centre of the Grangers.” was present, and we suspect encouraged by hia smiles of approval the Judge in alarming the people. This pleasantry was enjoyed, and his speech as heartily received. At this juncture of affairs it was announced that the tables were laden with edibles of every description, in great quantity, and an invitation extended to every person on tho grounds to partake of a bountiful din- This invitatton was promptly accepted and re sulted to the satisfaction of everybody, for there was pknty and to spare. It is not, therefore, surprising that numerous participants desired to return their thanks through the Herald to the following members of the “ dinner committee ” for lbe admirable mat.- ncr in which, through their personal supervision, the table was spread and the eaters served: Mrs. Robsrt Baber, Mrs. 8. B. Florence, Mrs. N. Matthews, Mrs. J. 3. Lindley, Margaret Hill, and Mies Nannie Bindley. At 2 o’clock p.m. Rev. C. W. Howard delivered an able and interesting address ou the origin, objects and character of the “Granges,” which was listeued to with marked attention. It was s novel incident to see such an array of eminent and distinguished gentlemen twelve miles from the railroad—unusual for them io be there, and extraordinary for the people residing in the rural districts to have an opportunity to see and meet them face to face. We are inclined, however, to believe that even His Excellency, Judge Trippe, and Dr. Lawton, appreciated the tame privilege. At any rate they bad the presence of mind, sftor speech-making, to embrace tbe opportunity of tailing, drinking and testing the splendid mineral water. They are temperance men, (dou’t know whether they belong to any organization), but we can bear witness that on this occasion tlu-y drank quite freely* In oonclnsio^we must say, that tn ovory ssenUal particular, ths Fair was • complete secoets most fratifying to those who had the sagacity to in augurate it. A Fair of a similar nature will be held at Acworth, in the earno county, cm the 20th of August next. “They any the world's a rale of tears, And man Is born to trouble— The words sound idly in my ears Besido the brooklet’s bubble; Friends change, I hear, and hopes grow pale, The fairest project fizzles I’m glad there’s no such thing as fail In making willow whistles.” A chorus of colored sisters, who had just obtained a full supply of religion, made Mr. Hanie think a man was born to trouble, and, in contemplating the fact, shed a vale of tears in his agony. He is a night watch man, and does his sleeping in the day time. On his lot are domiciled Walker Carter and Sally Carter and her mother, who did the heigtb of the sirging. About the time Hanie wou'd get cleverly into dream-land Sally’s mi would commence singing right under Hauie's window, and, of course, she was compelled to sing— “ Blow your trumpe*, Gabriel. Lord, bow loud shall I blow it?

And altar opening her exercises with singing she would go off in a dessertation concerning the flood— all to herself—and as she would douse a garment into the water she doubtless thought of the poor people in old Noah’s day, and the scarcity of row-boats, and say; “And den de rain came down, but Noah he set comfortable and dry in de ark and lead his Bible. And de rain come down In big spots, and come up to de doo’ step of de houses and ’gin to cober de floo’, and den de sinner he sea ret and knock at tho doo’ of de ark bery hard. And de big lion he de racket and roar, and de dog bark, and de ox bellow; but Noah keep on readin’ de Bible. And de sinner say, ‘Ncah, Noah, let us come in.’ And Noah says, ‘I berry sorry, but I can’t let you in, for de Lord bab lock de doo’ and trow away de key.’ ” The entire entertainment was more than Hanie could stand at one time and sleep comfortably besides, and rising from lxis restless pillow, he poured a fusi- lade of epithets on her devoted head, which caused his arrest. He pays ten and costs, but will have a chance to sleep hereaiter, for he broke up that meeting. Walker Carler was mixed up in the foregoing affair and sworo that Hanie was trying to break down his mother-in-law's character, when he proposed to write that inestimable virtue up with a big stick. He plead guilty to the charge, but his lawyer called him back and said he was not guilty. In order to give the at torney a chance to make his fee, the case was tried and Walker freed, notwithstanding his voluntary plea of guilty. About this time the atmosphere became thick and odoriferous that Judge Ezzard was compelled to leave. [He ain’t used to it Come again, Judge.] George Johnson and Syrena Beeman were up as wit nesses against Mollie Howard for quarreling and dis turbing the peace of their neighborhood. It turned ont that Mollie is a witch, and professes to be able to do what she pleases with any one she wants to. The witnesses swore they were afraid sho would bewitch them and poison the whole neighborhood. The Court dismissed the case, but took occasion to remark that if any one would bring a person who had been practic ing Yoodooism into that Court, he would apprentice them to Grant, Alexander & Co. for ninety days, under tho impression that by the end of that time they would be cured of the malady. Tom West, radiant with the reflected rays of his set ting sun, was detected in the act of making miniature rainbows in the gas light, af.er the “ fancy style,” by pouring streams at arm’s length. Mr. W’est was knocked “ sky-west and crooked,” with a fine of ten and costs. IOsc Smith is a beautiful floricultural specimen, whose face is not unfamiliar to the frequenters of this court. She is the revered relict of the late lamehted F. Skittles, who died of a broken heart, or rather of a glass bottle in the shape of one. Rose, thrown upon her own resources, fell back with some violence upon her maiden name, and so advertised herself, and under, took to turn an honest penny for herself. At one time she bid lair to rival the most illustrious queens of Shermantown, and waa so flushed with success that she concluded to flush herself with a little of the liquid stimulants, flowing with looseness in those de lectable vales. The consequence was that the police encountered her in one of her heaviest sprees, trying to rub the bricks out of an unimpressible wall with her shoulder. The court consigned her to the cooling corridors of the work house, which announcement she received with a suppressed chuckle, and swung her self into the “city snuff box” in timely unison with her jaw, with which she seemed to be reducing a little “manufactured” to subjection.

West Point LaGrange, New- nan and Grantville in Town. A PIEASANT PARTY AND A HAPPY VISIT Yesterday was the annual meeting of the Stock* holders of the Atlanta and Weet Point Railroad, and aa ia always tho custom with the mana gers of this road, a special train of nearly a dozen cars waa sent down to West Point on the previous day for the purpose of bringing the stockholders and tbeir families and friends to the city. This occasion is always looked for with a great deal of pleasure, espe cially by the younger portion of the people, for indeed, to them it ia a holiday fraught with many incidents of joy and romance. Yeaterday at ten o’clock the long line of cars arrived at the Union Depot, every one of which waa comforta bly filled with representatives from all along the 1 ne of road. The business portion of tbe excursion— the firm, solid representatives of the couutry, the money kings and purse-string holders—at once re paired to the place appointed for buainesi, while their wives and daughters dispersed in every direc tion, to the hotels and to visit their friends in the city. When the train arrived, there were awaiting a large crowd of ladies and gentlemen, who had gone there for the purpose of receiving their friends and rendering them pleasant for the day. Tbe weather was fine, and free from the usual dust and heat of the season, and when the numbers of young ladies began pouring from the cars, they looked as fresh and sweet as “ morning glories,” and no dusty signs of travel envoloped their eyes and faces and tidily starched dresses, as is com mon on this road. Quite a number of youag gentlemen accompanied the ladies, and they, together with a fair proportion of our own gallants, escorted them around town, an 5 to the various places of interest, while the more elderly matrons gave their att ution to “ shopping ” and other pleasures. The most pleasing feature of the day was a hop at the Kimball House, which came off at 3 o’clock. It wss an impromptu affair, but quite a success. Colonel Nicholls threw open the house to the excursionists and their friends, who wished to inspect that mammoth building and its appointments, and the thought took possession of him that a uico little hop would be pleasant, when he forthwith ordered a band of music, and inviting the crowd np to the spacious ball room, they, together with the numerous guests and young gentlemen of the city, were soon tripping the light fantastic, which was kept up until the hour of leaviug, which was six o’clock. Several lists of the “prettiest girls” have been handed in from various young gentlemen of this city for publication, which we must decline to print, be cause no two of them comprise the same name. This wss only one of the many excursion parties which have visited us this spring and summer, but none which was composed of a more intelligent and refined body of people.

CITY POLICE COURT. “The world is wide awske to-day, The laziest dronea are bustling, Tho brook slips by, the wind is gay, And every leaf is rustling; This shady bank, 'neath beach and oak, With lance-like grasses bristles, And you and I, idle folks, Sit making willow whistles.” Thus spoke a lawyer the day before our story be- glBa. Since Judge Hopkins has dropped the curtains ou his show and extinguished the lights, the lawyers have all been idle and standing around sucking their thumbs, waiting for a “breeze.” Tho Magistrates’ Courts have very nearly played out, and their only chance is to seek tbe sylvau retreats of the Police Court—an institution that never flickers. Iu atten dance yesterday was an array ot talent which evon “Old Vinegar” scrutinized with an 'inquiring leer as heesmein. Among the proiesaionala were Judge Ezzard, whose benign countenance haa never before, in the recolteetlon or the oldest “dead beat, been seen there. There was Thrasher, and Hulaey, and among the amateurs we noticed Dsn Pitt, man. The array of witnesses was also aplendid and of the best society. Jonsen, as soon as he saw what a respectable lerse would bs held, stepped into tbe next room and turned bis paper collar and buttoned up his coat. Then all being ready, he sung out for Fred Jones. Tbe whole amount of Fred's offonae consisted in thrashing a half-witted boy for riding bis horse without permission. He only used the dried stem of • big sunflower Case dismissed. Ezzard for plaintiff; AN IMPOSITION. CHANGE OF TARIFF ON THE MACON AND WEST ERN RAILROAD—HEAVY INCREASE IN FREIGHTS FROM ATLANTA—A PROHIBITORY TARUF. “ She mused how much kunuubial bliss Doth bless the plainest vittals, And thort ehe saw the parson kiss She wat was once F. Skittles ; Good urashus. how she haw. haw. hawed ! And while she laffed, she sat and chawed.” Mary Ro'.aDd had two female princeFtes to make her pop call, and, while partaking of the hospitalities of Mary, they sprung a quarrel, and got to fighting and squalling like minks. Mary made an unsuccessful attempt to allay the bad feeling, but, failing in this ■eized a chair and wore it out over the head ot Caroline Oolden, one of the tigresses, who had her ar rested. Caroline came into court with her head in a swing and a huge scar delicately chiseled over her left eyebrow. Tbe Court only charged Mary the costs, and didn't exactly know whether he ought to do that or not. r. Janus Robinson was fluid $50 and costs for selling liquor in less quantities than one quart with out license. The Court here informed the audience that if a man does not possess retail license, he can not sell in less quantities than one quart; and if a man buys a quart and leaves it in the store, and only takes portion of it away, it is retailing. That point was settled twenty-five years ago by the Supreme Court. Mattie Jones, who is own cousin to William, was accused of wallowing in the mires of fish markat slang, and bespattering the translucent reputation of Mrs. Jane Wallace with epithetical denunciations, which were not only profane, but which referred her parent age to a quadrupedal source at once libellious and of fensive. Jane repelled the slander at the time, and ame into court singing, in an uuderbreatb, “Scots wbahae wi’ Wallace bled,” to seek the bubble justice at the calaboose's mouth. Jane’s reputation was at stake, and she held to the doc trine that “Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument. But greatly to find quarrel in a straw Wnen honor’s the stake.” The evidence went further to show that Jane herself was violent and disorderly, in (-lapping M. Jones on the waterfall and disorganizing her elaborate “coif feur.” The Court reminded her that she had not only transcended the bounds of womanly modesty, bat of municipal restriction, and must forfeit to the city five and costs, which she preferred doing to fecd- ug upon the vapors of a dungeon. After which, with its usual placidity, the Court ad. journed and the curtain fell. 1 lie Killing; a.t Kingston. From a gentleman cognizant of the facts, we have obtained the following additional particulars in refer' eace to the shooting of Mr. Hill on Thursdsy evening* last, and who died at 6 o’clock p. m. yesterday. It ap pears that NeviU, who is the town marshal, had s r . rested a negro who was supposed to be concerned in numerous barn burnings that have occurred re cently In Bartow county. The prisoner was first lodged in the calaboose, but, that being denned in secure, he was brought out by the marshal, and carried to the depot for the purpose of transport ing him to Atlanta to lodge him in jail for safe keep ing. While waiting for the arrival of tbe train the uegro, who seemed disposed to curse and abuse eve- r|body bo saw, commenced cursing Mr. Hill, a sec tion master on the Cherokee Railroad. Hill stood this abuse for a while, but ho became so violent that he went up to Nevill and aaked him to put a stop to it, remarking that he bad already received more abuse from tho negro than he ever stood from a white man. aud that he could stand it no longer. Nevill replied that he would have to stand that or a d—d sight more. Hill responded that he could not stand it longer, when Nevill drew bis pistol snd fired. Nevil was then ar rested and confined in jail, and on the same night, by tbe assistance of a party, succeeded io effeoting hia es cape. The killing is generally regarded by the people aa a cold bl >odod murder. I'altnl Stiatea Comwt«»loatr'i Court. Commissioner John L. Conley, yostorday, required J. W. Berry hi 11, who waa tried the day before for working in an illicit distillery, to give bond in $100, to answer the charge. It is not known whether he gave the required bond. Mr. A. P. Bowen, who waa brought before Com missioner W. B. Smith rathe charge of carrying on the business of dlatillar without giving bond ao required by law, waived an investigation and gave boud for his appearance in the sum oi $500. Georgs 8. Thomas for tho Government; Hill k Conley for the def« use. Mr. D. P. Bowen, charged with the same offense, also waived an examination, and gave bond in $500 for hia appearance. Same counsel aa in the other case. The merchants of this city are considerably exer cised because of a recent change in the tariff on freights on the Macon and Western Railroad. It is [not neces. sary to give more than one or two items to show how gross an imposition the Central lUil r oad Ccmpany is attempting on the commerce of Atlanta. The tariff on a barrel of floor from Atlanta to Maccn has been i ncreaaed from 47c to 80c per lbs. Tbe tariff on a bushel of corn from Atlanta to Macon has been increased from 8c to 17c. * Tue tariff on a bushel of corn from Atlanta to For syth has been increased from 8c to 14c. The foregoing will be sufficient to show that the preseut tariff is simply prohibitory. The idea of cnarging, as is done, $1 20 freight on a sack of flour from here to Macon, means simply that Mr. Wadley is determined to cut off all competition between Ma con and Savannah on the one baud, and Atlanta on the other. It is to be hoped that the Chamber of Commerce of this city will take some Bteps in this matter. Be cause the Central Railroad has a monopoly, it is no reason why it should be used as au instrument of oppression and injury. The new freight tariff ou the Macon and Western Railroad is an outrage. Flour be shipped from Louisville to Atlanta for 78 cents per hundred—a distance of 470 miles—while to 6hip same from Atlanta to Macon, Mr. Wadley exacts 80 cents. That much injury will result to Atlauta from this tariff if it is maintained, is certain, and we trust, if the authorities of the Central Railroad will not change it to one more favorable to our commercial interests, that our merchants will petition the Legislature at its next session to enact a law prohibiting discrimination of this kind. The Central Railroad is fast obtaining a reputation of being a grasping, illiberal monopoly, and unless it is taken in hand pretty soon, all of this section of Georgia will be injured by it. As it is now, the railroad companies are powerful enough, and by no means as friendly to the people ss they ought to be; but there ia such a thing as carrying a monopoly too far, and tbe Central Railroad should be taught thia. From the day that tho Macon and Weatern Railroad passed into Mr. Wadley’s h nds we have had appreheusions that it would not be run in tho interest of At lanta. but that it would be used as to sustaiu the selfish iuterfUts of the Central Railroad. The new lreight tariff is a realization of our apprehen sions. Before it can hurt ns, we hope our merchants will succeed in bringing Mr. Wadley back to a know ledge of the fact that tho entire universe is not con centrated on the line of the Central Railroad; that Savannah and Macon are not the only centres of popu lation in Georgia, and that ho haa no right to attempt to cripple the commerce of Atlanta by charging exhor- bitant and illiberal rates for carrying freight on tbe Macon and Western Railroad. Pleasant Incident.—Miss S. E. Lawes, of Neuman, wrote ths Herald a very pleasant note, cangratulating ths proprietors on their pluck and energy. She was visited by one of the Herald staff, to thank her for her for her kind expressions. On his rising to leavet she said that she regarded the Hebald as the bes* newspaper ever published in the South, and was more than gratified at this last attempt to place the Herald ahead of ail competitors; that she desired to con tribute her mite towards sustaining us, and handed the writer a ten dollar bill for a year's subscription. mSSSS UZZU th « to.

As no sugar is used in the manutacture. the saccharine mat ter contained in our Lager Beer is only that derived from the vegetable ingredients employed. We therefore oonflaratly place our CITY BREWE RY LAGER BEER ia open and square competition with any other manufacture, assured that as a bever age containing a considerably larger per centage of nu tritive and tonic propet tire, in proportion to weq£it or rotwane. than any other offered in the R uth, it eom mends Itself to all consumers aa the moat healthful.
