The Atlanta Grays--The Amateurs.
To-night Barnes and the Amateurs give a
Concert—the proceeds to purchase uniforms
for the recruits for the Atlanta Grays. We take
this occasion to say that the company now in
Virginia, are sadly in want of clothes, and
suggest that everybody turn out to-night, and
swell up the nett proceeds of the Concert to an
amount sufficient to clothe the whole Com
pany.
We have before us a letter written by Capt
Lewis, in which he says : “My company are
much in want of clothes, and if you can pos
sibly stir the good people up, we will all feel
grateful."
We understand that the ladies have agreed
to make up the clothes at once, if the material
can be furnished them. They would buy this
also, if they had the money to do so with, but
they have not. Let the needful be .orthcom
ing at once. Our brave men, who are facing
the cannon’s mouth, daring death in its most
horrid forms, and gallantly meeting whatever
fate may befall them, in our defense, must not
lack for anything we can furnish.

Triumphal Arch.
Mr. William Heerlein has shown us a beauti
ful Triumphal Arch which he has projected “in
memory of the battle of Manasas," which re
flects the highest credit upon him as an artist.
He is no ordinary draughtsman, and has got
ten up this plan for a monument in the tastiest
and most beautiful style we ever saw. The
arch is a constellation of the States, surmount
ed by the court of arms of Georgia; and it has
the illustrious heroes of the battle inscribed on
the pillars. Mr. H. intends having this beau
tiful design lithographed.
We think the city of Atlanta should erect
a monument after this model, in memory of
the fallen of the gallant 7th and Bth Regi
ments.
That Smith.
The telegraph from Washington in our Sun
day morning’s issue, stated that Mr. Smith, of
Alabama, a member of the Confederate Con
gress, had been arrested in New York, and
would be held as a hostage for the return of
Ely.
The “Constitutionalist" made a the following
inquiry:
What was Congressman Smith doing in New
York ? The Confederate Congress has not ad
journed to that city yet. Wasn’t he rather
hasty ?
We can inform all concerned that the Smith
arrested in New York, was Austin Smith, a son
of Extra Billy of Virginia, who had just arri
ved in the steamer from California, where he
had been for some years past. Quite a number
of Southerners were on the same vessel, re
turning home from California. They were all
arrested on their arrival at New York.

Tribute of Respect.
At the regular meeting of Atlanta Lodge
Knights of Jericho, held last Saturday night,
a Committee appointed for the purpose, sub
mitted the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted :
Brethren ! A true Knight, a good and worthy
citizen, a kind husband and father, a devoted
member of the M. E. Church, and of Atlanta
Lodge, Knights of Jericho, has fallen upon the
field of battle near Manassas, Virginia, from
having received a shot in the breast, on the
memorable 21st July, 1861. John A. Puckett
is no more. He was born in Abbeville District,
South Carolina, June 22d, 1823, and was a gal
lant member of the brave Palmetto Regiment
during the war with Mexico, in which he re
ceived three wounds, but recovered therefrom.
He afterwards came to Atlanta, where he mar
ried, settled and practiced Law until his en
listment in the 7th Georgia Regiment; there
fore be it
Resolved, Ist, That in testimony of the grief
we feel for the loss of our Brother, the furni
ture of our Lodge be shrouded in mourning for
thirty days, that a page in our record book be
dedicated to his memory—and that these pro
ceedings be spread upon the minutes of the
Lodge.
jßcsoZved, 2d, That a copy of those proceed
ings bo forwarded to the family of deceased,
and a copy to the city papers.

Two Terrible Causaulltles.
This morning, about the hour of ten. a
man of the name of Rowell Bates, from the
country, was knocked down and run over, near
Nisbet’s Foundry, by the South Western train,
backing in to its position at the Passenger
depot and instantly killed. His head was
nearly decapitated. He was standing on the
track looking at the departure of the Macon
& Western train, and did not hear or heed
the warning to get off the track, till too late.
About the same hour, near the switch on
the Central Rail Road, a lad of the name of
William Ferrell, son of Mrs. Ferrell, in this
city, was run over by the Central train, going
out, and dreadfully mangled. He lived but a
little while after be was conveyed to his moth
er’s residence.—Macon (Vrucn, 10M metant.

OrTHE^“^^TOEKN^CONFEDERACY.”
I [Springfield, Mo., Aug. B.—Much alarm is
felt here in consequence of the report that the

has placed its specie in charge of Gen. Lyon.

sionists dashed through the town, killing some

The New York Tribune says that Garibaldi
has tendered his services to the Federal Gov

king him a Major-General.
John Bigelow, of the New Yorks Post, is ap
pointed consul to Paris.
Gen. Wool is certainly ordered to the com
mand of Fortress Monroe.
New York, Aug. 13.—The Brig Laura from

The “ World” says the market people from
Virginia are forbidden to enter Washington
Oity.
At Fortress Monroe apprehensions are felt
for the safety of Lieut. Crosby who is out on a
scouting expedition, and has been absent
four days.
Louisville, 18.—The following is derived
from a reliable source. The Post Master Gen
eral declines to deliver from the dead letter
office domestic letters (written in any part of
the United States) addressed to any person in
the seceded States. They are opened as fast
as they arrive and are generally returned to
the writers. Foreign letters will be delivered
on presentation of an order from the person
to whom they are addressed.
St. Louis is being fortified.
A thousand rumors from Missouri areafloat,
among which is a disagreement between Gen.
Lyon and Col. Seigel; that Lyon had cut Sei
gel over the head, and that Seigel had shot
Lyon dead.
A dispatch from Lyon to head-quarters re
ports a skirmish on Sunday morning with the
Southerners. He was probably at Springfield
on the Bth inst.

A Kentucky Congressman, in the confidence
of Secretary Chase, says that the system now
in force, of permits to allow goods to pass the
blockade here, is to be abandoned, and only
such articles as are universally acknowledged
to be contraband of war, will be prohibited to
pass this point. Bagging, ropes, fabrics, pro
visions, and small stores, will pass- An ex
emption of drugs is heavily urged.
Washington, Aug. 13th.-—McDowell’s report
says that notwithstanding the herculean ef
forts of the Quarter Master-General, the am
munition, subsistence stores, and horses for the
artillery wagons, did not arrive within a week
after the appointed time, and that Sunday’s
attack should have been made on Saturday.—
He concludes: “1 could not push on any fas
ter, nor could I delay long, as the best portion
of the troops were the three months men, whose
time had expired, on the eve of a battle. The
4th Pennsylvania Regiment and battery ; the
New York artillery, whose time was up, insis
ted on being discharged. I wrote to them ur
ging them to stay. Secretary Cameron, who
was then on the field, urged them to stay at
least five days. In the next ten days, day by
day, 1 would have lost 10,000 of the best arm
ed, drilled, officered and disciplined troops in
the army. In other werds, every day added
strength to the enemy and made us weaker.”
Dispatches to Eastern papers, announce tbe
destruction of the Democratic Standard, at Con
cord, New Hampshire, by the returned three
months volunteers. The proprietors fought
them, wounding two of them. (This was a pa

orously condemned the war against the South.)
A letter in the “Commercial," from Fortress
Monroe, states that a party of bathers discov
