Tux Bank of Atlanta. It aIT r!» n« g.eat pleasure to jive place to the oomrmi ication of Messrs. J. Norcr -ia, Joseph Toom-sn and J. W. Hatdkm. of Atlanta, Wo a -uinu tht stgnsltira of “ Sectral Gitueiu of At lani i.” in rep!t to our striolum* on the Bank of Atlanta. Wears the more gratified, because it contain*ut.rcjt-taxable evidence of the ju-tice of the opinion we then expressed, of the deliberate purpose of Gao. Smith A Co. to practise a fraud npon the people of Georgia, by using the charter of tits Hank for purposes ntver contemplated by the Legislature.

The corporators of the Atlanta Bank k> ct, while their negotiation was going on, that Riiith & Co.’e property was beyond the reach of bi I holders iu any emergency, and it was their doty to have prohibited any snch proatitntion of t e charter—this they owed to the Legislature and the people, if not to themaelvea, Ii seems that they themselves snspeeted the hon e t intentions < t Bmith A Co. to carry out their promises about Banking in Atlanta, and Mr. Nor cirsH addressed a letter to the President to ascer tain t u fact.

This is rather an anomalous state of things J In Bunking operations, and to onr mind smells strongly of a deliberate pnrposo to use the charter ! ol the Hank of Atlanta for fraudulent purposes, and wn hope the people ar.d the authorities will I ook well to it.

Can na much be Hind of tho Bank of Atlanta? We pause for a reply. But wo bavo already extended our article be yonil wlmt wo designed, and will conclude by aub j titling the correspondence to whioh we bavo re ferred, in which we have omited nothing—not even the mums of the parties. If tho people, after this expose, give the Bank credit by recoivii g its bills the lauit will not be ours. Savannah, March 4,1888. J. NoßOKoaa:—George Smith, of Chicago, is per fectly good.

CiiK.tr Povraai.—The receipts of the Post Office Department are gradually augmenting. The dcH cicney during tho first year of cheap postage, end ing April 5,1951, was over SSO 000. During the following year endit g in the same month of 1851, only $16,000 was wanting to make tho revenue balance its expenditure, and this year there cer tainly will boh surplus.

This (says the Argus) Uno pis catorial fabrication, but a fact which ia attested by hundreds of citizens. A Novel Visit.— On tho 87th of last month, three officers trom tho D.

Tbe A Usuis Hsu It. Atlanta, May SI, 1868. 7b lit Editor if the Chroniclt <t Sentinel: But:—Having noticed your editorial in yester day's paper, headed “ Tho Atlanta Bunk,” which closes with tho following paragraph, we leei oall cd npon to make soma reply. “Bince the foregoing was written, we learn that the parties who owned the charter in Atlanta sold it to George Smith A Co., ol Chtca/o. If they knew the purpose of Smith A Co., ttiey ate cer tainly little Its* guilty than Smith A Co. of the contemplat'd fraud." A few facta will ahow that your suspicious of fraud on the part of “parties" in Atlanta are en tirely destitute of foundation, and as facts and ex perience will doubtless prove, are equally ground less in regard to Mr. George Smith. In the first place, the charter of the Atlanta Bank wae not sold to Smith—not one cent of compensation was asked or received for it by any oue. On the 7th of March last, after several days of consultation with the inoorporatora es the Atlanta Bauk, Mr. Geo. Smith oente forward and subscribed for the en tire amount of the stock, excepting perhaps ten shares. Previous to this, the two following Tele graphic Dispatches had been rooeived by a gentle man in this city. The first is from the President of a Hank in Savannah, and the otner from a mer cantile bouse in New York of the veiy first stand ing in that city. “ Savarsah, March 4,1868. “Mr. George Smith, of Chicago, is perl ctly good. [Signed] “ New Yorx, March 5, 1358. “ We are informed hereby srood authority that George Smith, tho Banker, of Chicago, Illinois, is very rich, worth a million of dollars or more. [Signed] >’ In addition to those, we hod before ua “Bauk Note Reporters,” in which Mr. Smith’s name ap peared in good standing. We had also further evidence that he bad been banking in tba West ern States for many years through dark aud dis astrous limes, and had never failed in a single in alanoe to redeem his paper with promptness. Wa see also from the “Bank Note Reporters,” that notes of Banks in the West, of whioh Smith is at the head, are quoted in New York as high aa the best Wet-tern paper, and one half per cent, higher than any Bank paper from Georgia. We will now take the liberty to give you a latter bearing direct ly on the question at issue. New Yohi, May 11, 185*. Dear Sir Messrs. Straohau A Scott banded mo yonr letter of Bth inet. Iu reply, 1 would say,that Mr. Smith most cerluinly dote intend Bunking in your place, under the charter referred to, and is now making tho necessary preparations for that purpose. Bat the preliminary arrangements re quire time; when oompleted, I shall move iny fami ly down to your pluce, to settle permanently amongst yon. Meantime, I remain Your ob’t sv’t, 8. C. lliqoissor, President Atlanta Bank. The name of the individuals to whom the com munications arc addressed, as well ae the authors, you will seo by the originals which are forwarded to your care. Our names are also forwarded to you, but for reasons that will suggest themselves to yon, we do not wish tosee them in print. How far Mr. Smith may be justified in circula ting the bills of the Atlanta Bank in the Weatcru States, or what are his reasons for doing so, it doee not behoove us to say; *r whether he differ* in principle from the Banks of Augusta, Savannah and Charleston in circulating their bills in Ala bama, Mississippi and Tennessee—or whether the fact that Smith has crodit to cause his bills to cir culate in the West, is an honor or dishonor to him, wo are not called on to docide. Whether in view of all this yon will still contend that there is u deliberate design to u»e tho Bank of Atlanta for fraudulent purposes, ’’ is for yourself to decide. Some think you are crying tcoj/' without a enuso. Several Citizens or Atlanta. A Case of Oppression. if the particular!! recited in the article given be low aro to bo relied on, they proseut a case of ag gravated oppression, and what makes it worae, tho source of relief is so distunt that even tho promptest succor from home will boa great while in rcuching die sufferers. Whatever the nature of the luws established by Holland for the regulation of lior colloids! possessions, we presume her colo nial courts to be competent for the trial of such eases, and if competent, one would think two ac quittals ought to havo discharged tho accused Btrangors. Irregularities, wo know, ure prone to exist under proconsular Governments, and justice under distant colonial rule is often found to be deaf us well as Mind, and that consideration adds weight to the very circumstantial statements co pied from the Singapore (British) paper. Having no consul or commercial agont at present in Ja va, our Government may have r.o official informa tion on tho subject of these oppressive proceed ings ; hut wo do not doubt that the newspaper to port alone ot such a case ot iujuatice will be sufficient to induce immediate inquiry into it, ifit have not already been dono. Immediate it ought to be, for we should suppose that oloso confinement in a Java prison would not be to no foreigner’s lite worth a year’s purchase. With much deference wo should soy that thisseems a dear case for the application es President Pierce’s Inaugural decla ruiion in regard to tho protection of Amerioan citizens abroad. This is assuming the faots to be truly slated. We migli’ indeed indulge the hope that they are not so stuted in regard to some of the circumstances ; bntthefaot of continued in carceration after tho trial and acqnittu! of the ac cused is so positive and reiterated that there can hardly be a doubt of it.—A'uf. Intel. f rom the Singapore Free Frees of March 18. CASE OF MR. OIDSON, OF THE AMERICAN SCHOONER flirt. Amongst our Java extracts will be found ono referring lo the case of Mr. Gibeon, the owner of tho Atnoricau achoouer Flirt, and his chief ina e. Those persons, it will be recollectod, were brought to Batavia from Pnlembang, so far back as Feb ruary, 1852, by ono of H. N. M.’s steamers, ao cu-cd of having endeavored to incite the Sultan of Jcuibi to disaffection towards tho Nothorland Go vernment. The court of justioo which inquired into thocharge found that tlioro wore not suffi oiout grounds for tlioir lurther detention, but nevorlholass they havo been deteinod prisoners up lo tho present time They wore lately again put upou their trial, the proceedings extending over several days, and the public prosecutor demand ing the infliction of the severest penalties, yet they wero once more absolved from the gnilt im puled to them, it may bo thought that now they would obtain that liberty ot wliioh the decision of the Court virtually found they bad been deprived lor upwards of a year, but they have a fnrther probation to undergo, and have been again re manded to prison, until the Supreme Court shall havo parsed the cuse in review. As we find with Courts, at least with English oourta, that tho groaterlheiraiitlioritythe greater their dolibora tion, the accused may perhaps deem themselves fortunate if attor two years more they flml them selves at last freo front the toils in which they have been involved by “the law’s delay.” As subjects of Kuiopean or American States are de prived, by tho re I u,-*al oftho Dutch Government to permit tlieappointmont of consuls in tho Ne therlands India possessions, ofttie protection and assistance whie they derive from these functiona ries in other civi izeil countries, it seems strange that thu attention of tho American Government, in general so prompt to vindicate the rights of its citizens, has not been drawn to this case and mea sures adopted by it for procuring the release of Mr. Gibeou and his mate. If they are guilty it is proper that they should be punished, bnt it is highly objectionable that the proceedings against tlium should lie protracted so indefinitely, that, evon if ultimately acquitted, the imprisonment they will have undergone would, lit itself, havo been sufficient punishment for 1 lie offence impu ted to ibom. The fact that tho regulations of the Dutch Government doprivo foro ; gners charged with offences In their Indiun possessions of the assistance Which they can have recourse to In other com,tries, under similar circumstances, ought to render that Government particularly anxious that Justioo should be administered in such asses with promptitude end mercy. Wo trust, therefore thst means may be taken lo bring these exceedingly protracted proceedings against Mr. Gibson and ltis follow prisoner to a speedy termination, and should they ho fonnd innocent, that adequate compensation will be made to them tor tho sufferings and loss which they have been subjected to. The Government msy not havo it in its pow«r to accelerate the action of the tribu nals, hnt ifit finds that the prisoners arc again sad again acquitted, it can mercifully interpose to arrest the too exuberant zoal of its law officers, who would scout determined not to rest satisfied until they have procured a verdict of guilty against the accused. We publish the extraot referred to: The Java Bode of the Id contains the following paragraph respecting the proceedings against Mr. Gibson, the American citizen, who haa been so loug detained in custody at Batavia ; “Yesterday the Court of Justice sero gave ju fig ment ia the affair of Oi son, tho oommandor, and Graham, chief mate of tho Amorioan schooner Ft rt. Both were acousod of high treason, con sisting of liuving incited tho Sudan of Jambi to rebel against the Dutch Government, through means of a letter written by the first to that prinoo which was to bo carried by the other, but in whioh lie was prevented by tlte police at Balembang.— The public prosecutor demanded that tho said per sons should bo exposed beneath the gallows for the space ot an honr, imprisoned for twelve years in llto house of correction, and thoreatter con demned to perpetual banishment from the Nether lsnd'Hudia possessions, and deprivation of all civil rights. The Com tof Justice, ny its sentence ac quitted these persona of the charges against them, but ordered that they should remain in custody until tho ease had been reviewed by the Supreme Court of Justice for Netherland India.” Another Java paper says: “By onr advices from Batavia we learn that the long pending ease of Captain Gibson, of the Ame rican schooner Flirt charged with high treason, terminated on the 24th ultimo, alter eight days’ trial. Tho sentence will be pronounced in open court, on Friday, the sth of March. The general opinion is that lie will be acquitted by the Conn cil ■ f Justice, notwithstanding that the Fiscal has demanded twelve years imprisonment after stand ing two hours under the gallows. This last part, according to tho Dutch law, ia considered the next punishment after death.” The Wakull* Times', (Newport, Fla.) ofthe 18th inst., ssys:—A very destructive fire has been raging for tome day! past on the Turpentine plan tations iu this county, on the eastern side of the railroad. The citixens of Blonnt county, (Tenn.) will vote to day on the question of SIOO,OOO in aid of the Rabun Gap Railroad. The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser of Saturday last, says:—There must have been considerable of a hail-storm some where in this region on Thurs day. The night of that day was almost cool enough for blankets, and yesterday morning fire was deci dedly comfortable. The Maine papers record the death of Capt.

Mr. Editor:—ln journeying ever our happy State, I spent a night in this little village on the occasion of the quarterly examination of the pupils | of their Female institute. About one year sgo I bad the good fortune to be present on a similar ! occasion. Seeiug and feeling the nece-sityof a bet ter School for the village and surrounding country, about that time, the Masonic Lodge, after due ccn ! a deration and oooeulUtion, took the village Acade j my under their ocutrol. and at once, by subscrip tion and their own available funds, raised the neat ' little sum of $2,800, and proceeded to tbe erection i of a suitable building. They selected tbe site of the ( old Academy—a beautiful eminenot commanding a ! view of tbe whole village, a large extent of sur rounding ooanlry, and embracing a view of the | Pine Mountain stretching far in the south eaat. ! Upon this spot now stands a large, airy, commodi ous building measuring 80 feet square, two story high, beautilully ooionaded in front and surmount ed by a well proportioned cupola. Tho school for the present year is under the snperintendanee of Mr. A. P. Moott, A. 8., assisted by Mrs. Maßoarxt W illiams, and judging from a common expression of opinion, they are eminently qualified to fill, sa tisfactorily aud usefully, the positions confided to them. Tbe music department is unuerthe care of Mir* Elizabeth Davis, aud judging Irom the per formance of Iter little pupils and the very genteel and judicious manner iu whioh she conducted the concert, 1 would at onoe say the citizens of Green ville ought to esteem themselves happy in com manding the aervioea of so oompetent an instruc tress. The mtuio was interrupted with a rich varie ty of original esaays read by the young ladies of the Institute. Iu pointofthoughtandcompostionthey were emphatically good. And that great desider atum in public exhibitiona of this kind, loud and good reading, waa fully attained. It baa never been my pleasing fortune to witness on such an occasion a richer display of juvenile beauty, good order and easy arrangements, note failure or aym tomof failure oocurred. Indeed the exercises of the whole evening went off aa smoothly as though a thorough system of drilling had been practised for months. Suoh improvements over the exer cises of a similar character one year ago are scarce ly conceivable. This certainly betokens success to the enterprise. The proepeote of this village are brightening. Under tho new incorporation act the Board of Com missioners have restored order and quiet. The Temperance cause, which ii engaging so much Interest in every part of ourUtate isgainingground here. lam told that it would have been exceed ingly dangerous to the bearer of a petition for the abolition of the retail system to have made his ap pearance in part* of this county a few years ago. But now they have a petition in circulation, and I learned that scores are affixing their signatures. God speed this noble enterprise. There is much excitement npon the subject of s Railroad. The wants and interests of the peo ple seem to demand it, and Merriwether, with Its immense wealth is fully able to build it. Let them determine upon the route concentrate their effort* and the work rnuet go on. More anoa. _ Viator. Public Meeting In Warren. Wabrenton, Ga., May 17th, 1858.

Baily Carpbkter, Chairman. Joseph Porry, Seo’y. For the OhronieU <t Sentinel. Messrs. Emtors: —ln the Constitutionalist of Saturday, wore published some half dozen “Free Sohool Compositions,” purporting to be written by some young girls in said sohool. The Editor, in his introductory notlet, say* they are not “ indicative of unusual precocity or talent in the writers." He certainly did not read the pieces, or did it in a very cursory manner, or he won Id not have so committed his judgment. Had they “ emanated from soholars who had re oeived lrom thoir earliest year*, every advantage that wealth and refinement can secure,” yet would they have been remarkable productions. But ooming, as they do, from those whose advantages have been few, they evince an unusual degree of precocity. I do not hesitate to say, that in no other sohool in the Union, “tree school” or “hlgh ost grade,” can a half doaen pupils be found, who ean eomposo articles as good. I congratulate the city of Augusta on the possession of such talent, and the teachers who have assisted iu cultivating it to fruition. A friend at ray elbow whispers, “Humbug!— They did’nt write ’em. No child can write snob well poised, and well worded sentences. No child thinks so connectedly." But I, frown his insinu ation to scorn. I eannot believe that persons hon ored with the sacred post of teachers, would abe or permit such deception in their pupils, and have the effrontery to herald it to the world through the column* of a public print. No, I understand the eanse of the innuendo, and pity my friend. He has been a teacher for these many years, and hav ing t o snoh fruit* to show lor his labors, is envi ous. I hope the happy teachers of the Augusta Free Bchool will preserve those effusions, neatly framed, among the archives of the institution, that sno ceeding classes and generations may tee, that toms things can be done at well at other!.

We hap pen to have no little experience in vain and depo site mining ourselves, and we unhesitatingly give it as our opinion, that the half is not yet told ot this vien. We opine that when it shall become fairly opened, it will stand high in the calender, yielding the palm to none, save the oelebrated Dorn mine, in Carolina. Not only do we find the oreofth richest quality, but the slate by which it is encompassed, we find equally *o, which will de fray every expense in taking out the ore. We punned a number of pantulls of both the pulver ized ore and slate, which far exceeded any that we ever tried.

C*or*.—A short visit into the interior ofthe State has convinced ns that the prospects of neither the cotton or corn crops are as flourishing as they were last year this time. We saw and conversed with many planters, both at Macon and Griffin, who gave ns very gloomy aocounta of the cotton crops especially. The stand is vory irregular, and owing to the severe drought in April, the crop genemliy is very backward. Some, indeed, have uot jet come up. The rains, of which we spoke in the early part of this month, were very partial; and we are credibly informed that in many places, there has been no ruin of oonsequeuce lor two months. The earth ia arched, and fields and gar dens are suffering seveiely for want of rain. We learn also that the lice have made their appearance and are doing much damage to crops, already backward and unpromising. We make these state ments in strict accordance with facts collected from planters, by ourselves, which are corroborated by our own experience, as fkr as we could judge by whet we eew off the wsy tide— &*p.

They contain but little news Wo find tho following condensa tion and extracts ready to our hand in the New Orleans Picayune, which wo copy. The Gazette, of the latest date, says: The mail from below brought despatches from Gov. Lane, at Dona Anna, dated the 28th ult. He would leave on the 29th for Forth Webster (copper mine*,) and should he not take tho route by the Mosque Villages and Fort Defiance,|we may expect liis roturn by the 221 inst. The correspondence between Gov. Lano and the Mexican Commission on the subject of the disputed territory has been received, bnt it is thought best to withhold its publication tor tho present. As might have been expected, the Governor bas greatly tlie advantage. It presents, perhaps, the only in-tance in which the Mexicans have been vanquished in diplomatic correspond ence; it is a common retnurk that they write bet ter tip n they fight. Alt association of capitalists has been formed in Santa Fe, under the tide of “ Railroad Associa tion,”and the Hon. U. N. Smith has been olected President. The Gazette says: Membership is constituted by a subscription of snob sums as may he consistent with the means of each member. The amount thns raised is to bo placed in the hands of bankers, members of tho association, to be invested in railroad stock, in the great Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, provi ded the main trunk passes through New Mexico, making Albuquerque a point. Wo are not ad vised of the precise amount subscribed by this association, but we believe it is largely over a million of dollars. The Gazette further says that a corresponding committee ha- been appointed to open a corres pondence withsuolt officers as may bo designated to make surveys of the different routes, with a viewot placing before them such facts in reference to the central or New Mexican route as may ho re quired for a proper understanding of its advan tages. The Gazette of the 2d, in giving the news just received from El Paso, of Gov. Lane having is sued his proclamation as-erting jurisdiction over the disputed district, iuolnding tne Mosilla settle ment, says: Wo will not pretend to decide as to what was the duty of tho military in this matter; but thut the disputed territory belongs to New Mexico, we suppose none will protend to deny. And it i* also true that she hold possession of it, and exer cised jurisdiction over it, until the attempt wa* made by the commissioners to tlx the initial point of the boundary line, and wo Pel lore that posses sion should not have been interfered with, until the line was agreed tnion and established by tne two governments. But tho contrary of this is true. It whs immediately seised by the Mexican authorities, and the Atnorioans had made settlements on the Mesillu were forcibly dispersed and deprived of the fruits of their labor, without compesation for the same. If Gov. Lane had been the executive officer of this territory at the time, we risk no'hiug in saying that this injustice would not h ive been submitted to. We will in conclusion, say that if Col. Sumner was os roady to see jnstioo done to the citizens of onr territory ns Gov. Lano, this mutter would have been settled differently. It was fortunate that the Mcxioan authorities were advised of Gov. Lane’s intention sometimo betore he reached the lower settlements, and that he would not be sustained by the military; how this information reached them remains for future inquiry. Death of Major Georoe L. Twioos.—ltbceomo9 onr painful task to announce the death of Major George L. Twiggs, a wall known, prominent and respected citizen of this community. After a lingering and painful illness of thirteen week-, he died at 7 I’. M. on Monday, at his sum mer residence, nine milee below this city, in tho sixty-fourth year of his age. Though of powerful frame and iron constitution, he had boon for se veral years In failing health. He was one of the snrvivoraon board ofthe ill fated Pulaski, wreck ed in June, 1868, and never entirely recovered from the effects of exposure for five days and nights upon a portion of the wreck. In some de gree the cause of the paralysis urnlet which he suffered'ln his final illness, can be traoed to that memorable and appullirig event. M.Jor Twiggs was the sooond son of Gen. John Twiggs of Revolutionary memory, who was dis tinguished for hia patriotic sarvicos dnrit r that trying period in tho history of our State, end bro ther of Maj. Gen. David Twiggs of the U. S.

So lar as we have been able to gather the fac's, they are substantially a» follows:—Mr. G. left home on the morning in question with a double barreled percussion lock gun, heavily loaded. In order to prevent accidents, he slates that hi pulled j the caps off before goii g ' n parade After the close of theexercises of the day, and just j as the senior officer, Capt. Irwin, gave the com- j mand of “ order arms,’ so as to allow a short I time to rest, preparatory to dismissal, Mr. Grffin, . after bringing his gun to tne position of order, doubtless being fatigued, and in order to make his position as comfortable as possible, threw hn left band upon the muzzle of the gun, and rested his right arm upon the hand of the left. He without sufficient prudence placed his foot upon one of the cocks, and forced it back, at which time his toot slipped and the gun went otf—the whole load pass ing through the lelt band, making s hole aoout two inches in diameter, and then shattering his right arm so as to render amputation necessary. 6 [dhhtville Banner.

To-day or to moi row, the largo lantern, twenty feet in diameter, intended to surmount the dome, will be hoisted to its proper height, by tackling already arranged, and four ofthe iron ribs ot tin dome will be iinuiodiuteiy putin place to sustain it. Probably all of the rib- will be put up during the week, whuti the Pulaco will bo seen in it proper proportions. Confidence is still entertained that the main part of this iDitnense structure, tho body ot tho build ing, will be complete by the 1-tot June. Over 400 men are employed on it. To-day, the Anteri ca.i quarter of tho building, which is the north east cornel, adjoining the refreshment saloon, will be given over to tlie hands ofthe Association, that th oasos, tables, Ac., for tho display of goods may be arranged.

The Caloric Engine.— The New York Journal of Commerce says: It is now said that tho machinery ofthe Erics son ia to bo taken out, in order to facilitate the propos d improvements, and that several mouths must olapse before her departure for Europe. The N. Y. Commercial of Thursday republishes tbe foregoing and aocompaniea it with the follow ing comments: Will not Capt. Ericsson, or tho owners, satisfy thepnblio by some authentic statement as to the real difficulty with respect to the Ericsson '( Wo were of thoso who saw her machinery in motion, and were taken down *ho bay on board her. She has since been to thocit.v of Washington and hack, and the nnvul officer on board, though prejudiced against the invention at starting, reported very favorably upon the principle, the machinery iitul the performances of tho ship. With such evidonce hetore ns, we cannot join those who, because of these delays, pronounce tho whole matter an en tire failure. Bnt we think it is due to tho press ot this city, which guve Capt. Ericsson snoh cordial support in the face of much prejudice and unhc lief, and to those who believed their report, that thr roal cause of these postponements ofthe Erics son’s voyage bo made public. We have tho evi dence of our senses that a ship can bo propelled by heated air alone. Os that it is impossible that weean doubt; but the«e prolonged delays and this lackof authentic information us to the roal cause of them, suggest apprehensions thut the machinery necessary to obtain the motive power is so ponder ous as to destroy itself hy its own motions, or thut some other practical difficulty ban arisen which cannot be overcome.
