formed that one Company of the United States
Tioope, stationed at Charleston, left that city last
Fiidsy, on board the steamer iVina, for Plot Ida.
The Company occupying the Barracks in this city
will also leave for the same destination in a few
days, as we learn from Captain Anderson that
he lias been notified that orders to that efifect have
been issued by the War Department. A voluu
leer Company of one hundred men will leave
Jacksonville, Floridn, this day, for the Indian
settlement.
Whatever may be tho extent of Uic recent out
break in Florida, and the causes which led to it,
whether personal feeling or general hostility ’on
the part of the Indians, it is s source of gratifica
tion that tho Administration lias taken prompt
measures for its suppression. We apprehend that
the people of Florida wilt not be content until
every Seminole in their Slate is removed.
Atlanta.—The population of this thrifty and
enterprising town, according to a census taken
recently, is 2,025. But a little wbilo back the
place where it stands was an unknown forest. It
is destined to become one of the most important
points in Georgia, snd indeed in the wlioie South.
Cholcba Repoited inChableston.—The New
York papers of last week contain telegraphic
despatches which state that, notwithstanding "the
Quarantine Regulations, there have been 11 deaths
and 6 new cases of cholera in Charleston.” Wc
have ficqucntly heard that there had been more
or less of cholera in Chsrleston, but, unlike the
papers and public Authorities of that city, we
were unwilling to give currency to ruuiouis af
fecting injuriously the business of a sister city,
and did not therefore publish them. A ml wc hope
now that tho pcstilcnco has not made its appear
ance there, and regict that there should be any
doubt about it.
The Courier, in referring to tho New Yoik dis
patches, says—"No case of cholera has been re
ported in this city, (Cbarlestou) by any responsi
ble authority.” It will be observed that our co-
temporary docs not assert that there has been no
case in the city, but simply remarks that
cose has bocn reported by any responsible authori
ty.” The Mayor, however, publishes an affidavit
of the Operator at the Telegraph office in Charles
ton, stating that no such dispatch as that in the
New York Herald had been sent from that office.
Still this does not deny the existence there of the
disease. The Operator merely says that such a
dispatch did not go from his office. But the dis
patch in tho New York Enquirer, we believe, docs
not purport to be from Charleston, but front Bal
timore. The Charleston News however, is more
pointed. It says—"there have been not only no
deaths, but no cases of eliolera in this city."-
This is a flat contradiction of the rumor, and we
trust it will ho received as such, the New York
dispatches and the intelligence which has reached
us privately to Die contrary notwithstanding.
But what a continent is nil this upon the course
of the press and Authorities of Charleston to
wards our city! They gave publicity to rumors
that there was cholera here. We suppressed sim
ilar reports in tegard to Charleston. Our City
Authorities and press have again and again de
nied tiie existence untongst us of the disease
still Charleston continues her quarantine rcguls
lions against us, and thus holds out the idea that
we have all been guilty of falsehood, and that
there is cholera here! How would her public
men and journalists feel ifsuch a course were pur
sued towards her by tho other comnicrclnl cities
of tho Union ? We hope such will not l»e done,
yet they would have no reason to complain if it
were. The golden rulo is—" Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you."
Macon Convention—We learn from the pub
lic prints, and from private sources, that this Con
vention assembled in Macon on lire 1st inst., Wed
nesday, and continued in session that and the
following day, when it adjourned to meet at Au
gusta on the fourth Wednesday of September.-
The Hon. Jos. Dav, of Jones county, was appoint
cd President; Judge Holt, of Macon, anil Gen
Bailey, of Columbus, Vice Presidents; and Tiros.
Hardeman and A. R. Freeman, of Macon, Se
cretaries. There were delegates present from
Bibb county, Augusta, MUlcdgcville, Macon,
• Charleston, MUlcdgcville R. R. Company, Put
nam county, Hancock county,and Jones county-
in all something more than one hundred, fourteen
of whom were from Charleston, and about fifty,
or nearly one half of the whole number present,
from Macon. It wua resolved that the voting on
questions should bo done per capita, which cna
bled the Macon delegation in a manner to control
. the action of tho Convention.
Tho Macon delegation submitted a "statement”
on tho first day in favor of the route from that
city direct to some point on the Georgia Rail-
Road ucar Madison. Tho proposition was sub
mitted to a Committee, which, wc understand,
reported in favor of the Miilcdgovillc and War-
renton routo. Considerable discussion and wrang
ling ensued in regard to tho report, when the
Convention adjourned over to next day. • On tho
reassembling of tiro dologutcs the following morn
ing, n resolution wns submitted by tho Macon
people, that books of subscription should bo open-
,-.! lor both routes; and that the ono should
selected for which most was subscribed. This
produced much discussion, and tho convention
adjourned until 11 o’clock. At 11 o'clock on un-
Kuccc^bful effort wns made to induce the Macon
delegation to recode from their proposition
whereupon the Millcdgeville delegates, under
circumstances of considerable excitement, with
drew their projector route. Books foreuhscrip-
