&lmlly Sympathetic.
W e extract the following very kind and
sympathetic notice of the sore affliction of our
friend, A. B. Sea's, Esq., in the loss of his
only child, from the Kalional American, of the
17ih inst. We take a pleasure, in the absence
of Mr. Seals, to transfer it to our columns, be
lieving that he will appreciate the spirit that
prompted it:
Our friend A. B. Seale, Esq., Associate Ed
itor of the Locomotive, overcome by the close
and constant application to the onerous duties
incident to his position as editor, and the anx
ieiy and cire tending the su-kness and death
of tils beloved sou Julius—the last of his Chil
dren—has left the city, temporarily, in quest
ot that rest and r»*p«»se so much needed by him

that, though his light 1ms gone out—bis heart
sacked—liis hopes desolated—his child is no-

to death. Coming in contact with those who
spent their evenings in gaming and drinking, be
contracted their habits, and -ftom au exceed
ingly nice and promising young roan, he soon
descended, step after step, until he became
ibat most enviable of bad characters, a con
firmed gambler. And this in spite of all re
monstrance. Reproff was unheeded—tears
were mocked—his own mother pushed aside
with impatience, am d declarations that he
would pursue his di.-reputable calling.
His blindness became sj great—his con
science so seared—that ho lay down one Sat
urday night, after more than a day’s carousal,
surrounded by distressed friends—the most
prominent of whom was his pious aod agonized
mother. After he had lain dowu, his mother
knelt at his bed side and begged him to leave
off his evil practice. He told her flatly he
would not. That poor mother rose not until
she had prayed oarnes'.ly and long for her
wayward boy. Retiring to her own room, she
could not sleep on account of an oppressing pre
sentiment that some evil was about to come

during that night, the destroyer blew his

What a sad lesson! Comment might be in-
du’ged to great profit, but a limited space for
bids. W'e may refer the young, however, to
* bo curses written in The Book, to be realized
by those who fail in a proper respect for pa
rents. The Wise Man says, •• wickedness over-
throwetb the sinner.” And again it is said,
•‘The candle of the wicked shall be suddenly
put out.”
We would call upon the young men of our
city, who may be guilty, to throw down their
cards—lay this sad occurrence to heart, and
“fallow peace, with all men.”
Meeting a Sermon.
Yes w Arnett them everyday now. Young
preachers they are, but we trust that at least
the parents of the many dear Pule ones re
cently taken, will hear and be convinced.
Archbishop Leighton, returning home one
morning, was asked by his sister, “Have you
been hearing a sermon?” “I’ve met a ser
mon,” was the answer. The sermon he had
met was a corpse on its way to the grave; the
preacher was Death. Greatest of street preach
ers ! No laws nor penalties can silence him.
No tramp of horses nor rattling of carriages,
nor rush and din of crowded streets can drown
his voice. In heathen, Papal and Protestant
countries, in monarchies and free states, in
town and country, the solemn pomp of his dis
courses is going on. In some countries, a man
is imprisoned for even dropping a tract. But
what prison will hold this awful preacher?
What chains will bind him ? He lifts up his
voice in the very presence of tyrants, and
laughs at their threats. He walks unobstruct
ed through the midst of their guards, and de
liver? the messages which trouble their securi
ty and embitter their pleasures. If we do not
meet his sermons, still we cannot escape them.
He comes to our abodes, and taking the dear
est objects of our love as his text, what terri
ble sermons does be deliver to us! O what
weeping audiences sometimes has this silent
preacher! Yet there is a secret doctrine,
an occult meaning running through his
discourses, which is often not apprehended.
Few “lay it to heart.” His oft repeated ser
mons still enforce the same doctrine, still press
upon us the same exhortation. “Surely, every
man walkeih in a vain show. Surely, they arc
under the lead of their pastors and teachers,
marched from their several churches, to the
beautiful grove near the Baptist Church, and
there joined in the festivity of the occasion.—
After nrriving at the grove, a portion of the
Scriptures were read by ltev. Mr. Payne* A
hymn was then sung by the whole school.—
Prayer was offered to the Throne of Grace, by
Rev. Mr. "Wilson. Addresses were delivered,
appropriate to the occasion, by Messrs. Gas-
kil , Hoyt and Fnyne. Another song was then
sung by the whole school, when the Dinner
was announced, which was ample, and full
justice was dona it by. the 600. The number
of children just filled the tables, and it was a
goodly sight to see. Everything passed off in
the most joyous manner, and to ihe full satis
faction ot all interested. May we have many
more such joyous occasions, among the Sab
bath Schools of Atlanta"
A Little Foundling.
Our friend Mr. Denke, who resides near
tho Mineral Spring, was awoke yesterday
morning from bis slumbers by tho cries of a
obild. As the g-ntleman bad no responsibil
ities of bis own, be was somewhat nonplussed
by the unfamiliar voice, but determined to fer
ret out the source of the trouble, be soon found
that the cries proceeded from a bundle of rags
on bis own p ireh. Undoing tho package as
quickly as possible, out rolled a nude female
child, not more than three or four hours old.
The little foundling seemed in hoe health, alive
and kicking, well pleased with its new state of
existence, but protesting lustily, as loud as a
sound pair of lungs would allow it to bawl,
against its unpleasant rag covering. Mr,
Denke lost no time iu having the little stran
ger welt cared for, and by the kindly assis
tance of Mrs. D , it was given a more be
coming apparel, and is now doing as well as
could be expected under the circumstances.
Mr. and Mrs. Deake are well pleased with their
little charge, but as they have not an overplus
of this world’s goods, they would object to the
foundling aet being repeated in their family,
for some time to come. “ Sufficient for the
day is the evil thereof."

found on the porch of the residence of Mr.
Deake, we are informed by that gentleman thnt
his lady is pleased beyond measure with the
little creature. She has determined to adopt

spoils. If men, then, wero formed, a^wa
think they were, for domestic enjoyment, how

contented to live in relative retirement from

there is anything to be seen, or h«ard, which

which ought to have reached here in a few

Removal.
The readers of the Locomotive will find at
the head of the la-.t column in another page,
the advertisement of Jas. Martin, Jr. under
that very prominent word, “Removal.” This
gentleman, it will be remembered, until a
short time past, was at his old stand on Mari
etta street. As he ?tates in his notice, he is
now first door from the corner in Markham’s
new block. Passing by his place of business
to day, and matters looking a little animated
within, we could but stop and ask the cause of
excitement. “No excitement at all, sir ; just
opening a few boxes extra nice hats, the re
mainder of a very heavy stock recently pur
chased in Philadelphia and now in store.”
Whereupon, the aforesaid polite and kind-
hearted gentleman, Mr. Martin, with “great
presence of mind,” placed on our head a No.
7| of a new style of hat just opened. We
thanked him then, and we hereby again thank
him, and confidently recommend him to our
own citizens and those who may be in search
of any thing in his line. Look out for the big
hat.
We take the liberty of laying before
our readers the following communication, from
the gentleman whose name is attached. Though
not designed for publication, we are happy, at
■my time, our cour?e gives satisfaction, and we
indulge the weakness of giving our friends the
privilege of participating with us:
Messrs. Editors : It is a pleasure to me to
have the opporiunity of expressing to you the
gratificati n I felt in reading your editorial in
the Locomotive ofthe 12th inst.,alluding to this
and the Western Roads. In that article you
take the right view; you do both justice, and
express an opinion both statesmanlike and pa
triotic, that our people, to obtain both, would
certainly be willing to temporarily submit to
some additional burdens of taxation to secure
the great results.
The Air-Line will make tributary to this city
a country about as large and of equal fertility
with the upper half of South Carolina, and if
our people would encourage, instead of oppose
this work, the people and stockholders from
here toGainsville would, I feel certain, grade
the Road in two years, to that place. Is it not
the duty of every citizen, not only to let them
alone, but nl?o to encourage ♦hem in this no
ble war ? Yonrs respectfully,
E. M. 8EAGO.
They were certainly not taught, by precept or
example, that there was a Sabbath day for us.
In mutters of deadly weapons, however, their
capacities were seriously cultivated. The man

as an embassy 011 serious business, proposing
to gather up and return to their own shores

treated as greenhorns on a spree.”

Would Leave.—Thomas Witten, of Lee co.,
Va., went to Bellevue, Ohio, a few days since,
to bring home his runaway slave, Manfred,
who had written three letters to his master
begging to be taken home. An account
says :
“Arriving in Bellevue, accompanied by a
friend, they found Manfred ready to start at
any moment for “Old Virginia,” though a ho
tel keeper in the town seemed determined that
such a horrible sin should not be committed.
In order to prevent it, he kidnapped the boy
and ran him six or eight miles into thu coun-
iry and concealed him. Mr. Witten had re
solved to have no more to do with the business,
and was about starting home, when Manfred,
having escaped from his thievish abolition cap
tor, made his appearance, begged to go with his
master, and is now at work on Mr. Witten’i
plantation, in Lee county, Va., “as happy as
the day is long.” Manfred states that he had
much rather iive in a slave State as a slave,
than in a free .State as a free negro.

Messrs. Editors : Of course you want to
know if I’ve seen the Great Enstern. Well, on
Monday, having the aforesaid vessel in my
mind s eye. (and its considerable of a
load,) I took au 8th avenue car, squshed my
self down between a fat gentleman and a lean
ditto, trod on a Newfoundland pup, run my
hat into a “cullerd pusons face” and having,
got a comfortable (?) location left the station.
At the next corner, car being hailed, driver
pulled up his horses, in stepped Big Ike from
tho country, and a tribe of country boys and
gals, that would have gladdened the heart of
vhe veucrable Uncle Billy, to have seen enter-
ing the precincts of the “Model Auction
well down they stowed themselves promiscu
ously on our feet aud away we went. At last,
we reached the street leading to the dock.
‘Great Eastern” shouted the driver—“Whoa! ”
out poured the crowd.. Having picked our
selves out of the mass, felt our head, found it
on, hat slightly “mussed,” feet rather sleepy,
down we went with the rest. In the neigh
borhood, lound all manner of things that would
have done credit to the Park on Independence
Day.
Here a sturdy negro that could have picked
his 120pound, wascr}ing, ‘ Gemnien try your
lungs, only 1 cent for 8 blows,” and there were
many blowers.
Here were thimble-riggers, monte-players,
*ight-iifters, penut dealers, and every trick
necessary to catch the eye of sentimental
geniuses.
W eli, at last a 50 cent, piece introduced us
on the ship. AVe went along a gangway from
the whart to tho ship, abou^ 40 or 5t» feet, ei^
tereda large empty room about 16 feet high
and some 40 or 60 feet square ; nothing to be
seen there ; up stairs we went; tliero we met
two or three gentlemen who had charge of the
entrance ; there being 6 in our party, we were
slow entering, from the fact that each visitor
passes through a tamstile which registers the
number that come aboard. When inquiring if
that was not for the purpose of telling the num
ber of visitors, wo were iu formed we had guess
ed it the first time—not being a Yankee we felt
highly complimented on our perceptive facul
ties, and went up another pair of steps ; there
wo found tho main deck, and began to realize
the magnitude of the vessel. Four times
round the deck is a mile, so you can have an
idea ; from stern to stern is 227 yards; around
in groups lay the crew, as dirty a looking set
of men as it is a man’s privilege to see. There
is nothing to attract attention on this deck ex
cept the magnificent view you get of the bay,
and the comparison you make between the
huge monster you are on and other noble ves
sels that otherwise would seem giants were it
not that the enormous proportions of the
Great Eastern” m ike them appear as Pig
mies.
From this deck you descend a beautiful
stairway to the Ladies’ Saloon, where all is
gorgeous, bright and dazzling, where the walls
perate our exhausted BtrengtH.laP. Iine ’ 1 with exquisite mirrors that deceive
the eye, and lead you to believe you can sec
for miles in the distance. To the right and left
open the doors of a hundred staterooms large,
airy and cozy. Nothing cramped, nothing
spared. Everything tending to eradicate the
idea you are on the ocean’s bosom and this
ship.
Forward and back you wander, saloon after
saloon meets your gaze, until tho eye is wea
ried with the magnificent display, pianos, solas,
ottomans and carpets that would grace the
White House floor, are here seen in all their
magnificence, while on the table are scattered
books, chess-boards and all that heart could
wish to relieve the monotony of a voyage.
We again descend and find the engine room,
where the propelling power lies. Such en
gines ! One can almost imagine they have a
tialt mile stroke; and its a comfortable day’s
journey'M-ound the cylinders—e etything on
such a stupe^ious scallH 8Cems u miruc i e
how it came there,
?»»and the pul-
ull oi
ing machinery, hundreds of tons of shaft wheels
j and pulleys ; of all places it seems to me it
would be a mechanics delight to wander through
this spacious apartment and view these
truly wonderful engines, and more than once
l wished Rhine of the boys from the “shop”
were here.
Leaving the engine rol^h, we ascended a
spiral staircase and stood again on the main
deck, then went down three flights of stairs
and made our exit, pleaded and instructed at
what we had seen, and only hoping Uncle Sum
would give his order for a ship just a yard
longer. Yours truly,

He has made a confession, of which the Erpre**

“He give? full details of his participation in
nearly one hundred murders. The Pacific
Coast of Mexico, California and South Amer

gaged alone, or with others, in robbing and
murdering simply for plunder. Being exces
sively avaricious, the love of money seems to
have 'been the overmastering passion, and to
obtain which, he has always been ready to re

moles, richly laden, and proceeding from the
mines of Mexico towards the coast towns, he has

Slave Trade is Texas.—A correspondent
of the A’. O. Crescent, writing from Rrowns-
vi.le, Texa?, says :
“There is considerable talk in this commu
nity about three or four hundred negroes said
to have been landed on this coast., within thir
ty or forty miles of Brazos Santiago. It is
positively asserted to be a fact, and 1 have no
reason to disbelieve it myself, for the rich
farmers in the central districts of Texas are
known to have a large number of niggers who
do not understand how to speak the American
tongue; euch has been the case for the last
ten years, and the question comes up: “Where
do they come from ?” I have never heard it
asserted that a nigger spoke African natural,
no matter where he was boro, go I cannot un
derstand how tlie lingo is perpetuated in lit
tle, big, old and young niggers, in certain por
tions of the State. 1 think the farmers have
an underground railroad to Africa, and that
they make up for tho nitrgers that are run off
to Canada and Mexico by fresh drafts on
Ethiopia One of tho termini of this African
railroad is said to be marked by a large pine
flagstaff, on Pndre island, and that at certain
times a very small signal light is swung upon
that elevation to notify conductors in the rail
road that they can run in, without any danger
from cutters or marshals.

Ruatan, which, ot late, has been attracting
much attention, from its recent invasion by the
fiiiibu8ter8 under Walker, is an island in the Bay
of Honduras. Until the late proclamation of the
Queen, ceding it to Honduras, it belonged toand
was under the jurisdiction of the British Gov
ernment. It is thirty miles long and eight broad,
and has a population of nearly 2.000 souls, about
40 of whom are while. A letter from one of the
fillibuaters, dated May !6, soya: “The whites
are begging and imploring American emigration.

picious and ever jealous. The adjacent bland of

ten companies each ; one regiment of mounted

Rammer Resorts—Their Temptations.
Life is a constant scene of conflict and temp
tation ; thrown upon its billowy bosom, ihe
heart and soul of man are “driren about by
every wind of doctrine.” At one time stand
ing erect in all the symmetrical beautiesthe
Deity himself, while yet anon, maddened by
passion, it “rushes in where angels fear to
tread.” We care not how pure the character,
or how lofty the intentions of a man may be,
as the personification or representative of any
great principle, he is in great danger of being
tempted from the path of rcctllnde. His con-
Jact—not hi* word*—is witohed with the most
insatiate scrutiny. Let him for a moment
falter let him even appear to grow weary of
the cause ia which he lias enlisted, and in
stantly it is pealed forth from one end of the
land to the other as if with a trumpet tongue.
The Christian religion presents a forcible illus
tration of this fact. We believe that the cry
ing inconsistency of the professed children of
God, has done more to impede the progress
of the gospel of peace than the combined co
horts of hell could even ever hope to effect. It
was the unwavering, never-doubting, never
flinching fidelity of the devout Musselman,
that bore the banner of Mahomet in triumph
over the nations of the East. It is the “ con
sistent walk and conversation” of the humble
disciple of Jesus, which now commends his
docirine to an unbelieviog world, and so it
must be in order that any principles may suc
ceed. If you desire heartily to see any pecu
liar dogma prosper, it can only be so when it’s
supporter stand like Ctesur’s wife, beyond the
reach of suspicion’s poisoning darts When
we see a man wrapped tn'the mantle 'of self-
security—-when we find him laughing at the
idea of being allured and tempted from the
patli of duty—’tis then that we tremble for his
safety. Watch! watch!! watch !! 1 should be
inscribed on one side of the banner while on
the reverse should be written in letters of liv
ing light, that other injunction of mightiest
import. Labor! labor ! ! Watch lest ye your
selves should fall—Labor for the good of your
fellowmen.
’Tis such thoughts as these that we wish
every Son of Temperance to bear with him to
the various watering places of our land, during
the present season. From our own experience,
we know somewhat of the dangers and temp
tations that cluster around Summer Resorts.
W e have known young men to take at them
that fatal draught which was but the prelude
to their destruction. We have known strong
and ardent Sons of Temperance at them, to
take the unfortunate step which lias forever
placed them without the pale of our beloved
Order. It is with full knowledge of this, that
we would now raise a warning Toice. “To err
is human! ’ Man, when surrounded by the
dazzling gaities and fascinating temptations of
the world, finds it no easy matter to stand firm
aod unmoved by those principles to which he
has sworn allegiance. Especially is this the
case with the Son of Temperance. While it is
dangerous to use intoxicating liquors, it is fas
cinating, pleasant and alluring. While it sinks
its votaries to the lowest depths, not only of
temporal depravity, but also of eternal perdi
tion ; it is nevertheless a shrine at which man,
in his depraved state, delights to worship. Let
Sons of Temperance be ever on their guard!
Let them remember that amid those scenes of
which wo are speaking, they are surrounded
by snares and footfalls into which they arc
every moment in danger of leaping ! Let them
see that one step from the allotted line of duty
—one step from the mystic circle of which
they form a connecting link—is but one step
towards ruin and dishonor! Let them remem
ber the injunction of Holy Writ to those who
think that they stand nnd take heed “lest they
fall! Guided by the unwavering star of

Georgia Alr-l.la. Railroad.
ilever». RLtarv :—Having recently written
two articles for the public press, in answer to
Col. L. P, Grant’s continued assaults upon the
Georgia Air-Line Railroad Company, which
I hope has caused him seriously to doubt the
truth of his statements: as I proved mine
true, and he has not in his last in any way
alluded to me, after nearly' two weeks' delay.
He concludes, I presumh, for the reason he
cannot answer with proof of truth for his
statements, to treat me as too snail to have
any further attention from him. I have seen
men before, when driven to tho wall w’th
facts, refine to recognize the vmnlt nuihnrify ;
but, a truth uttered by me is just as true as if
it was uttered by* Col. Grant—truth is not
likely to get to be falsehood because it J. not
uttered by a distinguished Railroad man.
Col. Grant, in his last manifesto, calls on
the President and Directors to answer in an
official manner. I presume they would feel
themselves highly honored in doing so, but I
do not see the reason why the truth, coming
from me, may not answer his purpose just as
well.

While they are thus watchful of their own

Arrest of a Female Poisoner.—Mrs. Leroy,
ol whom mention was some time since made,
she being then at the West in pursuit ot a hus
band said to have eloped, turns out to be a pois
oner. She arrived at Pori Huron, Mich., on the
15th of June, in company with a Prussian,
named Charles Fenner, and on the morning of
the 2Uth, he was found dead in hia bed, mur
dered by poison. A forged conveyance of all
his property was exhibited by the woman, end
also a fraudulent marriage certificate, signed by
a Baptist minister in Detroit, who never had an
existence. She was immediately arrested and
committed for the murd*>r. Papers which were
found under ihe carpet in her room furnish
ground for the suspicion that her last hus

12 pounders, to be presented to the Japanese

Tho arrest nnd conviction of two persons, a
man and a woman, in London, for the robbery of

existence of on orgnnizaiion whose sole object
wns the robbery ot jewelry stores in London and
Paris. One of the confederates was formerly a
jeweller, and he directed which were the most
valuable stones and lu’st to take. At one time
ten thousands pounds worth of diamonds were
tuken at a single haul fiom a store in Paris, not
one of which were ever recovered. All precious
stones were immediately reset so as to destroy
completely their identity. A robbery ol over
three thousand pounds in London, led to their
detection and to tho breaking op of the band.
