Office Atlabta Constitution, Atlanta, Ga., July 31,1873. | ProprirUu Herald: Dear Si os—President Wadley offers to let us ha an engine for two lhoucand dollars for the month of AQgnst. You know the importance to the Atlanta pap. keeping up our present mail arrangements for the Macou Road and Southwestern, Ga., as our circulation in that dir ection is very large and rapidly increasing. W»* think both papers might afford to pay the above sum, but one could not. Shall we nnite and do it! Wi* arc looking at the matter simply from the stand ee ut of vital importance to the interest of Atlanta newspapers. Most respectfully, W. A. Hemphill & Co. Considering that Jwe had previously announced our purpose to put on a special train on every road which could not tend the Hebaij) to Its destination at a proper time, and that as soon as wa heard that a change would take plaoe on the Macon and Western Railroad, we addressed President Wadley a letter re questing him to charter u* an engine, we cannot un derstand in what way we have interfered with your ar rangement. Concerning your lotter of yesterday, we would state that it was not received by any proprietor of the Herald until after 8 o’clock, and waa never seen by Col. B. A. Alston until to-day, and not until we had notified Col. Foreacre that Hie Herald Publishing Company would take the engine. This we did with out any reference to the Constitution, at the same time it being our purpose to extend to you, if you so desired it, the benefits of the special train. We do not deem it necessary to reply to that part of your letter that refers to our motives in sending a spe* dal engine on the W'est Point Railroad. We have jast returned from Col. Foreacre, who in forms us that np to the present timo only one engine has been engaged by any Atlanta paper, and that by the Herald Publishing Company, and that he looks solely to tho Herald Publishing Company for the full payment for this engine. We now propose, in all kindness, to carry the Con stitution mails for one thousand dollars per month on this engine, and allow you the right to send your own agent with the mail. We ask for a square acceptance or rejection of this proposition, the details of which can be arranged in person. We intend to stand to our contract with Col. Foreacte at all hazards. Yours, very respectfully, Alex. 8t. Clair-Ajuums, H. W, Grady, R. A. Alston. Atlanta, Ga., August 1, 1873. Herald Publishing Company : Dear 8irs—We do not deem auy reply to your last mecessary. If you saw proper not to accept our prop* osidon, but enter into a separate arrangement, you had a perfect right to do so. Nothing whatever that we can see prevented your immediate acceptance of our proposition. As yon de clined, however, we shall proceed on our own ached- Io. We have an engine at our service. But to assure you still further of our kindly motives in this entire matter, we now propose to drop every, thing ont of view that lias transpired up to the pres ent time, and that we together make mutual applica tion and arrangement for an engine, each party obli gating himself to pay liis part; of the cost— two thou sand dollars. If this correvpondence is made public, of course it will be given entire—with this final note included. Yours respectfully, W. A. Hemphill, ’ E Y. Clarke. Office Herald Publishing Company. Atlanta, Ga., August 1, 1873. .Messrs. W, A. Hemphill and E. Y. Clarke : Gentlemen.—Yours of tonight is at hand. Our contract with the Railroad Company has already been closed, and we do not wish to depart from our invaria ble custom of adhering to contracts once made. It does seem to ns that if, as you stated in your first letter, "both papers might afford to pay the above sum, but one could not,” the question of prece dence would hardly prevent your accepting our offer. Had you chartered an engine before *e did, we anould certainly have availed ourselves of it, not cariDg to quibble over a question of precedence, but rclyiDg upon the merit of the Herald as a newspaper for any good that might follow the enterprise—especi ally when our paper would reach its destination with youra. In view of the fact that the Herald Publishing Company has already chartered an CDginc, we cannot see how we can now nuke mutual application for what we have already obtained. But to show you that we act in good faith in this matter, we herewith repeat onr willingness to carry your mail on our en gine—you agreeing to pay $1000 per month for it. and we will further obligate ourselves to give you right of carrying said mail as loDg as we hold the engine or until we mutually agree t? discontinue it. We are gentlemen, yours, very.truly, Alex. St. Clatr-Adrams, Henry W. Grady, It A. Alston. The whols tribe was brought into the presence of the Great Spirit of Peace, the knife and tommyhawks sheathed, the calumet was deliberately smoked and the Inlian war closed with a^reaty signed all round. John Booth, nnder the hallucination that he was a blood relation to tho great tragedian of that name, and possessed in no small degree of his histrionic powers, endeavored to fatten himself on lager beer, to the dimensions of an ordinary sized Falstaff. He failed miserably on the obese Idea, but succeeded be- jrond the hopes of his most intimate friends in an ex tensive and elaborate drunk. In this condition the police found him, and he left ten dollars the weaker in the “weskit.” The Coart then evaporated in the usual manner.

Shehane, cool, calculating, and severely sober. This contrast was indeed pleasing and calculated to carry joy to the heart of the chroni cler of these brief chapters, because Intemperance, in any form, finds no apologist in him. Especially, etc. Dan ba3 been making a noble figbt against the mon ster sin of intemperance, and has vanquished him. He is a hero, staunch and brave, and has at last put be neath his feet bis old insatiate foe. Bully for Dan ! Bnt then there is still work for the philanthropist and about that time "Old Philanthropy” himself came in, and, as quick as he saw Dan, he began whetting his beaks for a fat slice out of that individual, and when looking over the docket, did not see his name, he smolc a lovely smile at Daniel, kissed his hand, and, taking the end of bis golden spectacle frame, made several "gouges” in his left auricular, to improve his hearing, and called for the first case, which was William Lewis, who had been rather lewis in his mor als and failing to abate a nuisance, and causing some other troubles. It was hard on William, but justice knows no difference, and he paid for his inattention and departed. Amos Crockett, like his illustrious namesake, Davy, was fond of the boys, fun ant* liquor. He was solicit ed by a crowd to treat, and to prove that ho was not drunk (no one had up to that time accused him of It), he took four pieces of watermelon and placed them at the four corners of a cross street, and then viewing the crowd to s^e what effect it would have upon them, he tarned and gazed up at the city clock on the Capi tol. This last performance made him so dizzy that he reeled and fell into the hands of the law, and was bronght forth to tho sacrifice on the altar of outraged decency. The Court took compassion on Amos, and let him off free. Mr. F. Tucker, supposed tube the father-in-law of old "Den,” on his mother’s side, came in on tho early train with one of the excursion parties, bnt he "came too late to get lbs sapper,” and endeavored to supply the vacuum with drink. It flew to his head, and his head flew into court, and tlis Judge flew into his pock et book, and as a natural consequence, everything about him acting on the high-flying principle, a few of his green-backs took wings and flew into the city treas ury. This was a flying time for "Tuck,” and so im pressed him that he remarked as ha gazs.l around— The rivers flow. The breezes blow, The flowers grow, The sunsets glow- But why, I truly do not know. Onr debts we owe, And there is snow. And herring’s roe, And heavy dongh— But why, 1 truly do not know. We’ve grass to mow. And rash to show, At.d things to kuow, And walks to go-- But why, 1 truly do not know. We’ve many a foe. And one big toe, And its fel-foie. And rows to hoe— But why, I truly do not know. Oh! The irrepressible Fiunia Davis, she of the gorilla- look and elephant-hide, of whom mention was made on yesterday, and being locked up for being dis orderly, employed her time in the prison by thinking np old tilings, and looking over the list of her friends. Of these latter she could not find one to pay her out, and she soliloquised — "O! when I think of what 1 am. And what I usod to was, I find I’ve tbrowed myself awuj Without sufficient koz.” But, as misery loves company, she thought of three young gentlemen whom she saw eating watermelons the day before she waa locked up, and while in prison she had a warrant taken out, and all three were up, charged with lueoltlug tho peerless Emma. In this trial, she made a signal failure, and the young gentlemen were discharged, with tho expressed im pression on their minds that some way ought to be provided by which seoh chai actors as she Is could not have respectable young men arrested for a supposed insult to her darkness.

Sarcastic triend—" Ugly steps, John ! ” Lawyer— '* Yes, but then you know ‘narrow is the way that leads to glory,’ ” pointing rather proudly to his step, courae," says the friend, " aud in this case, few there be that walk therein." Aggravating silence. We notice that a new switch or side track is being constructed on the light of way of the Macon and Western Railroad, running parallel with the main track from the bridge near the depot to Peters streete a distance of about three hundred yards. The em bankment is being cut down on the left side of th track to make way for the rails. The letter carriers—three white and one colored— were out in a stylish uniform yesterday evening. A match game of base ball was played between the Atlanta Union and tho Mutual Clubs, on tho Medical College grounds, yesterday evening, resulting In a vic tory for the former. Splendid batting was done by Boggua, Wooten, Bell and Shevlns. Can’t Understand It.—It is a little surprising tha t some people keep so far behind the times. For in stance, the LaGrange Reporter, like a great many other clever papers, can’t understand that " special train" business yet, and Waterman ia scratching his bead, and poring over the affair until this day. If h can’t solve it by the next issue day of hia paper, and is compelled to "give it up.” we will enlighten him with another conundrum which perhaps will occupy the balance of the season of his (time in figuring out. We will relieve him of one doubt, however, by stating that the Herald Publishing Company did not "fknow that the schedule would be changed in a few days, aud started the " special” with the determination to run it until the schedule was changed to suit us. From West Point. DEATH OF ROBERT W. DUKES. From passengers over the road yesterday, we learn that Mr. R. W. Dukes, of West Point, died in that place yesterday morning. It appears that two days ago ho went with the Cornet Band some miles in the country, to attend a picnic, and on their return he was attacked with spasms, which grew on him, until tho fatal termination of yesterday. He remained speech less from the first attack. That Strike.—We learn that the contemplated strike on the Macon and Western Road by the firemen and wood passers, have been abandoned, a number of the malcontents believing that “a bitd in hand is worth two in the bush”—to such an extent aa to canse this chango In the programme. A Flood of Visitors —No leu than three different excursion parties were in tho city yesterday—one from up the State Road, one from the Air-Line, and the last a colored party from somewhere on the Geor gia Road. The city was full of people, but everything waa quiet and orderly. The Museum did a rptnking business, and tho melon men were busy. These ex- cursiosB are always pleasant and profitable. Moonlight and Ponce dk Leon.—Now that we are having such charming moonlight nights, would it not be most agreeable to have another plo-nic at Ponco do Iajou ? The one had there during the last moon was altogether lovely and pleasant. We believe that the married people lay claim to this invention, and as they succeeded so well beforo, they might have an other. Benjamin L. Brisbane, L.L.D., appeals, through the Boston ChrUtish Era, to the Northern people for aid in establishing a paper and developing a school system in South Corollas. In that appeal ho uys: "She does not know that there are a Christian people up here. She judges them, and she haa a right to judge them, by the unprincipled men who have gone from here to rnlo her.” For an "original abolltioniat” this is pretty plain talk. And Still They Come.--And now comes our young and excellent city farming frieud, C. B. Mitchell, and •tartlet tha repoiter by a sudden and unexpected ex hibition of a mammoth potato*, grown in the city.
