PRICE, 5 CENTS (From the Augusta Chrouicle A Sentinel.) The Gate City. Volney’s Ruins of Empires is both a meian« choly and a mischievous book, but it bus on its wried pages no sadder picture of desola tion than greeted our gaze wheH we first be held the ruins of Atlanta. No published account, which we have yet seen conveys an adequate idea of the destruc tion which has converted this once populous and flourishing city into alandscape of ruins. Let us hope that no such appalling doom may ever befall another city on this conti tinent. It is gratifying, however, to observe on every band the symptoms of returning pros perity. It is seen in the number of laborers employed iu removing the rubbish from the desolate thoroughfares, ana laying anew the foundations of scores of buildings, great and ' small. Alter making due allowance for the scarcity ol money and the general impover ishment of the country, we still cherish the expectation that in a single twelve month White Hall street will if not elegantly rebuilt and thronged, as in other days, with eager buyers and sellers. Rents are even now euormously high, and every craft and profession from the omni-present money changer to the porter and hod-carrier has its half-dozen or more renresentatives. We meet likewise at every step of our pro- Kess with the ‘‘solid men’ r like Markham, X)t, Dunning, the Howards and Winships and Ezzard, «fc Sasseen and Powel &,Seago & Brown, the Calhouns, the Lawshes' & Peck and Salmons & Simmons and Cox & Austell and many others besides. These men, as to their political antecedents, differ very widely, but they are all men of “mark and likeli hood” in any community. Their presence here at this time is a favorable augury for the iuture destiny of Atlanta, and we congratu late them one and all on their safe return to their favorite city. The population of At lanta has always been distinguished for its thrift and enterprise, and we hear that al ready they have projected several improve ments that will contribute materially to the wealth and comfort of the city. Amongst these is a project lor aßroadwfiy running near ly parallel with White Hall and extending in a straight linfe from Marietta to Pryor street. If the undertaking succeeds this street will become the fashionable promenade aud will be doubtless lined with fashionable bazaars filled with every article of taste and luxury. The several railroads that converge to this point are now in gbod trim, but chiefly occu pied with government transportation. The press, that great lever of civilization, is worthily represented by the Intelligencer and the New Em. Both of these dailies are con ducted with marked ability, and seem to lie prosperous. Nor are the educational inter ests of the community overlooked. Quite a number of public and private schools are es tablished, and their success is in the highest degree flattering Our limited space will not allow us to speak of all that pcrtains'to the present condition and future prospects of Atlanta. Battered and well nigh ruined, as" she has been, by a thirty days’ storm of shot and shell, she will yet be one of the chief cities of Georgia. She has been sadly marred by the ravages of war, but Ueswrgam is in-_ scribed on all her gates., Although she now sits, like a discrowned Niobe amidst the ash es of her griei and widowhood, she will soon forget, the bitter memories of the past, and the humiliations ot her present desolate con dition in a prosperity which the most san guine liardly'yet dream of. To-day she is a monument of the horrors of the late fratricidal war. Five years hence she will be an illustration of the blessings of peace and the advantages of a gainful and wide-spread commerce. British Routine. —We find the following extract from William H. Russell’s book on Canada. The writers is describing a visit to the arsenal at Quebec; , “ Formerly flint pistols were served out to the frontier patrols, but of course percussion locks have, for many years, been given to all those employed in the service of the Crown in a military capacity. Some worthy official, at home, however, still continues to send out barrels of fljpts with laudable punctuality, as he has not been relieved by superior order from the necessity of keeping up the supply of these articles. We have all heard of the forethought evinced by the home authorities, when they sent out water tanks for our lake flotilla, forgetting that they were borne on an element quite fit for drinking. But I heard in the citadel of a still more remarkable in stance of thoughtlessness. “A ship arrived at Quebec, some time ago, • with a* enormous spar, reaching from her bowsprit toiler taflrali, consigned to the store keeper. It had been the plague of the ships company; it had been in every body’s way, andthad nearly caused the loss of the vessel in some gales ct wind. The whole resources cf the quartermaster-general’s department were taxed to get it sately on shore and transport it to the heights. And what was it ? A flag-staff for the citadel. And what was it made of ? A stout Canadian pine, which had probably been sent from the St. Lawrence, in a timber ship, to the gov ernment officials at home, who haviDg duly shaped and pruned it into flag-staff, re-' turned it to the land Os its birth at some con siderable expense to John Bull.” —At Hazleton, Ind., a short time since, a soldier’s wife having received $l2O from her husband, recived a call from a man in the night, who appeared before her in her sleeping room and demanded her money. Fortunately she had provided herself with a weapon in the shape of a rolling pin, and as the demand wa9 made, she threw the money on the floor, and as he stooped to pick it up, dealt him a blow with the weapon on the neck. She theu ran to the nearest neighbor for assistance. The man was not at home, but the lady kindly volunteered and went with her, when, lo and behold, the unfortu nate man was the latter lady’s husband. The blow he received proved fatal. —Dr. Hubbard, of Paris, says thsf out of one hundred persons, sixty-five marry'; three of these get divorced, eight leave their part ners without that formality, fourteen stick to their carriage relati on but fight all the time, vegetate, and perhaps ten out of the sixty-five live and enjoy themselves.— Fickle Parisians!
